I Became a Framed Villain

Episode 7 – Monster

“Oh, how are you?”

“Are you the one who said you were coming this time?”

As I shake off Justia’s annoying little brother and go up to the podium where the faculty and staff are gathered, some people shake hands with me.

As soon as we shook hands with each other and sat down, gazes began to gather from all over the place.

‘Is it worth looking at?’

Some were simply curious, but some were full of hostility.

Even if it’s temporary, someone with no certainty came in by parachute, so that’s good enough.

After all, after today’s work, there were people I wouldn’t see any more, so I decided to ignore them.

“Haha, isn’t the academy a bit too conservative?”

As I was sitting in my seat, silently accepting the pouring gaze, someone next to me asked for a handshake.

“But not all of them are like that. Let’s spend even a short time getting close.”

When I turned around, it was a very familiar face.

“Ah, I’m late in introducing myself. This year’s 2nd year class 1 hero, Resurrection.”

13th in the world ranking, Resurrection.

He is evaluated as being close to the top hero, which refers to a hero who is within the top 12 of the rankings.

“Nice to meet you. I…”

Anyway, since I was greeted, I thought I should answer, so I reached out and took his hand.

“…Ugh.”

It was at that moment that something went wrong with my eyes.

“Why is that? Are you all right?”

‘…what?’

Instead of shaking hands, I clenched my eyes and lowered my head, and Resurrection spoke to me in a worried voice.

By any chance, is your right eye, which has not been good since childhood, a problem again?

‘No, both eyes hurt.’

But it wasn’t just her right eye that she usually covered up that hurt.

This is my first time ever.

Is this also a symptom of ‘villainization’?

“You’re okay, right? Would you like to go to the health room?”

“Oh, yes. It’s fine.”

Fortunately, the pain subsided somewhat over time.

“My name is Oh Ji-seok. Please take care of me.”

For some reason, it seems that more and more people are looking at me, so to avoid suspicion, I put on a pseudonym with a smile on my face and received Resurrection’s handshake.

“Aha, you’re Korean.”

“Yes, as you can see.”

“Uhm. That’s right.”

Then all of a sudden, he started looking at me.

“Somehow, he looked a bit like someone I knew.”

‘…was that suspicious?’

Suddenly, the words that came out of his mouth made me nervous inside.

No matter how much my body shape and details have changed, my face now is based on the image of ‘Kang Ha-neul’.

If you are a quick-witted person, you might be a little suspicious.

After all, the hero’s jjambab, which is still in the top ranking, could not be ignored.

“I, too, foreign people all look the same, haha.”

“Is that so? Me too. Heh.”

Fortunately, however, it seemed to have ceased to be suspicious.

After all, no one would easily have predicted that I, who escaped with such a fuss, would calmly enter the academy.

“Ah, almost all the students have gathered.”

Still sitting without relaxing, Resurrection pointed to the auditorium and opened his mouth.

“It seems to be starting soon.”

Yes. It was going to start slowly.

– Dominating hands, power infiltration complete.

The entrance ceremony, and our operation.

– Except for Kang Ha-neul, all transformations will be released after a while. I’ll let you know when the time comes.

Pandora’s cute synthesized voice coming from her ears reminded her of that fact.

“Hey, a lot of kids came in this year too.”

“……?”

But, is it your fault?

“Still, if you roll it once, it’s pretty useful…”

Why does Resurrection’s body next to me seem to be wriggling?

After all the students gathered, the entrance ceremony finally began in earnest.

As for me, the new procedures, which were quite emotional, began to proceed in an instant.

The opening ceremony to open the door to Hero Academy.

Courtesy to predecessor heroes.

Today, as always, the boring principal’s training.

All of these things were actually no different from a normal school, but I didn’t see any students who were nervous.

Worth the name of the world’s best hero training institution.

Photos of the hero activities of graduates who filled the entrance ceremony hall.

And, the aura radiated by teachers made up of famous heroes who are known just by hearing their names.

All of that was keeping the students’ tension at a maximum.

“Then, in the next order… there will be a new student oath.”

Nevertheless, after the principal’s training that made some gears yawn, the freshman oath finally came.

“The freshman representative, please come forward.”

As I was clenching my fists without anyone knowing, thinking that something had come, she got up and started walking.

‘Should I just jump in and twist the neck.’

Rumia Obse.

The most promising youngster of his time who passed the entrance test of the International Hero Academy as the top scorer.

Everyone’s attention begins to focus on her appearance, which is praised by the media as a hero who will succeed Justia.

“Hello, everyone.”

To be honest, I was a little scared.

What should I do if she recognizes me?

“The freshman representative. This is Lumia Obse.”

But fortunately that didn’t happen.

With a gentle smile that looked like a person, she quietly passed me by and stood in front of the microphone.

– Awkward…

As I look at it, my heart starts beating like it’s going to explode.

If I attack him now, will I be able to kill him?

‘Calm down. Think rationally.’

But there were too many eyes to see.

I couldn’t get revenge and I couldn’t be caught again.

And for the ultimate revenge, it would be best to capture them alive while still keeping their lives attached.

“It’s such an honor to take the freshman oath…”

“Ugh.”

Because of this, as I was focusing on my eyes, I began to feel pain as if my eyes were on fire again.

‘Should I get a health checkup?’

I couldn’t attract attention in a place like this, so I gritted my teeth and endured the pain.

“It is time for us to recover from the shock of the Justia case.”

I opened my eyes wide, forgetting even the pain at Rumia’s absurd remarks that I had heard in front of me.

“If we cling to and obsess over the past, we are the ones who suffer the loss. The past is the past and the future is the future.”

“uh?”

right at that moment.

“We are future sprouts who will be responsible for the unknown era that will unfold in the future.”

“What is this?”

The unbelievable happened before my eyes.

“So now we have to move forward, to the future…”

Among the many people gathered in the auditorium,

in some bodies.

‘…..tentacle?’

Something bizarre and ghastly, like a tentacle, began to appear very clearly.

“Lee, Mr. Resurrection.”

I stared blankly at the grotesque scene, and hurriedly spoke to the Resurrection next to me.

“Look, do you see those…”

But what else is this?

The man who had been by my side until a moment ago was gone.

“Mr. Resurrection just said you were going to the bathroom. So, lower your voice.”

“Hey, over there. Can you see it?”

“yes?”

“Seconds, tentacles.”

I hurriedly grabbed a teacher who had given me a frown and gave me a pint glass, pointed forward and asked, and she looked at me with a surprised look and said:

“What are you talking about?”

“Me, over there. The front of the second row from the right. And the third from the back. Can’t you see?”

“…..?”

She asked again with a serious expression on her face, but she only had an expression on her face that she did not understand the English language.

“Um, hmmm.”

Just when I was so frustrated that I wondered if I should take a picture and show it to you, I started hearing a coughing sound from the other side.

“Let’s be quiet.”

The professors were staring at me quietly.

‘This… what the hell…’

It was only a small fraction, but disgusting tentacles were wriggling inside the bodies of two or three of those professors.

Because of that, I turned my gaze forward with a puzzled expression, and Lumia was looking at me with a mysterious gaze.

‘what?’

When I turned my eyes away from her without realizing it, a very strange sight was unfolding.

‘What are these guys doing?’

Tentacle holders quietly glanced at each other, and one by one they were going backwards.

It was such a secret move that no one noticed it.

Except for me, seeing something wriggling inside their bodies.

“there.”

I stared blankly at the empty seats of the guys who disappeared from the auditorium in an instant.

“I’m going to go to the bathroom for a while.”

Soon after, he quietly got up from his seat, left those words behind, and started following them.

– sky. Where are you? Is it sudden?

“……..”

.

.

.

.

.

‘Where are you going, these guys.’

The reason I followed them was simple.

It was because no variable could be tolerated.

This situation right now is an obvious variable unless I’ve gone crazy.

If you lose Rumia because of that, you miss a golden opportunity to get revenge on her.

There is still a little time left before the start of the operation.

So first, figure out the variable in front of your eyes.

With that thought in mind, I succeeded in catching up with the last student who left the auditorium, and started carefully following him.

‘Am I going higher from here?’

The guy kept going up.

Aside from the classrooms, the upper floors of the academy are the teachers’ office, the principal’s office, and the health room.

Then, is his purpose one of those three?

“there.”

He quietly reasoned inwardly and followed behind him, then suddenly stopped in his seat.

“Who are you?”

The guy who looked back in the blink of an eye asks in a cold voice with his eyes shining.

“………”

And the stillness started.

He stared at me quietly, and I wondered if he tilted his head for a moment, then started moving forward.

‘I almost got caught.’

Fortunately, it was at the end of the hallway, so I was able to hide behind the wall.

By the way, if there is such a reaction to even a small gesture, there seems to be something really there.

What the hell is that guy?

“excuse me.”

“……..!”

Anyway, I was relieved that I was not caught, and I was breathing a sigh of relief, but a voice suddenly came from behind.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen your face.”

“I don’t think you’re a student, who are you?”

Two sophomore student council members who were present to help with the entrance ceremony were looking at me suspiciously.

“…a new professor at the academy.”

“Okay, excuse me.”

Now, thinking that the follow-up was wrong, he took out his teaching certificate in a slightly annoyed voice, and the female student nodded and immediately agreed.

“By the way, what about that one?”

It was at that moment that such an ominous feeling spread through my limbs.

“Hey, I look like a freshman wearing a school uniform.”

“…………”

“The entrance ceremony is still ongoing. What are you doing here?”

A warning that signals a moment of crisis, learned while working as a black agent for a long time.

“Is it tinted from the first day? It’s bad.”

“Go back to the auditorium right now, otherwise…”

Why is that warning spreading all over my body now?

“ha.”

First of all, while he was on alert, a student standing in the hallway sighed and began to break his neck.

“You guys, you’re out of luck.”

At first, it seemed like a simple stretch, but sooner or later, the neck of the guy started to bend to the extent that it crossed 40 and 60 degrees and approached 90 degrees.

“Maybe I could have lived today.”

At that bizarre scene, the student council members began to retreat in contemplation.

“…shit.”

Unable to ignore the uneasy feeling I was feeling all over my body, I unconsciously stretched out my hand forward.

[Skill: Defense (LV1) has been used.]

At that moment, a translucent window appeared in front of me with a refreshing beep.

[Defense: You can summon a barrier with a cooldown that blocks enemy attacks.]

[Reward: The user’s defense is reduced in proportion to the amount of impact for a certain period of time.]

“what?”

And before you even read it all.

– Kwagwagwagwang…!!!

An attack that flew with a roar and terrifying speed.

“Kyaak!?”

“what……?”

But for some reason, the person who made the attack was intercepted right in front of me.

– Kwakdeukdeuk…

It was the same student from before, surrounded by tentacles protruding from his bent neck, becoming like a monster.

“Fuck.”

How the hell did this happen?

Can a human become a witch?

The target of the beast form must be a ‘non-human’ animal.

“What are you.”

The student in front of you is clearly a magical beast.

“Groorr…”

No, he had become a monster.

“I’ll turn, damn it.”

.

.

Meanwhile at that time.

“Um, this one.”

Paradise, who had been disguised as a student and mixed in the auditorium, put her hand in her pocket with a characteristic pleasant smile.

– Awkward…!

The card flew like a bullet and pierced the head of one of the faculty members.

“I should start sooner than expected.”

“Kyaa!!”

A few seconds later, screams began to echo through the auditorium.

“Hello, puppies.”

Dyce smiled as he said that, and in his eyes, the tentacles that had stopped moving after violently wriggling around the faculty member’s body were being reflected.

“It’s time to take the roundworm medicine.”
