“Yes!”
Despite being a Saver, Amy ended up taking on broadcasting duties at both the outside and inside of the Gate. Viewers laughed at this situation.
– Our Amy is so greedy~
– Does the Saver even investigate villains these days?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– I acknowledge this as an extreme job😭
– From: Saver, To: Villain Reporter
Amy glared at the hologram chat while muttering to herself.
“Leave me alone, Malagha… “
“What are you making such a fuss about? Start the broadcast already.”
But when Bruno gave her a scary look, Amy nodded her head hesitantly.
“Yes! We’ll start right away!”
– I swear allegiance to Villain Amy!^^7
– I’ve designated this camera for Villain Amy!
– Is this enough to recognize Amy as a famous Villain?
– Shock! In reality, I was a Saver, but in the Gate, I’m a Villain?
Amy was grateful that the viewers’ chat didn’t show up for Bruno.
‘Are all of you very excited?’
As Amy wiped away tears of shame, Bruno approached the camera with the microphone.
“Wow! It’s our first broadcast, so I’m a bit nervous.”
But Bruno scratched his head, looking embarrassed. Seeing Bruno, who was strong enough to break a watermelon with one hand, act like this, Amy’s eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn’t dare to show it.
“It’s natural for the first time to be difficult, isn’t it? Talking like this won’t be easy, will it?”
Amy’s sage advice.
Bruno stroked his jaw and nodded his head.
“…Yes, that’s right.”
Thanks to her advice, Bruno’s eyes became calmer. Bruno was talking about someone.
“The reason for broadcasting… is to let everyone know our intention and gather members.”
Bruno wanted this broadcast to reach not only the entire country but also somewhere outside.
“Our hunters… are strong. We always save the incompetent and defeat the monsters. That’s what hunters do.”
Soft voice.
But Bruno was secretly suppressing his anger. Even Amy, whose mana was sealed, felt a shiver run down her spine at Bruno’s tone. Now Bruno was facing the camera directly.
“Why are we… being ruled by the incompetent, and why are we being exploited under the name of the system?”
As soon as Bruno clenched his fist, a sharp, menacing sound echoed through his hand. Bruno threw his fist at the wall with all his might.
“Today’s world is unfair! We’re the representatives of all the hunters who have come to break this injustice!”
Roaring Bruno.
He was like a lion, but only for a moment. Bruno looked around, as if gazing at someone beyond the camera.
“The first accusation is… your Sky Group. You may have forgotten that person’s death, but we won’t forget. Ah, and…”
Bruno looked up at the upper floor with a confident face. His target was a mouse trapped in a cage. In fact, he was the one who had gone to capture the target, who was their leader.
“I swear. This time, it’s not us who will lose something, but your Sky Group.”
Bruno and the Rebellion, who had lost someone, were avengers seeking revenge.

As the gate’s heat intensified, the atmosphere outside the gate also became overheated. But among all the concerned parties, there were two men who stood out with a burning passion.
“…Ah, Jien! You’ve quickly subdued that reckless girl, haven’t you? Haha, haha, haha!”
It was Selphie, the head of the Arcana school…
“Kk-kk-kk, it’s thanks to Lucia and Kua’s successful quest. If we didn’t have their support, would we even have a way out?”
“Ah, my thoughts are a bit different. If Isabella hadn’t been there too. That blue-haired little monster might have become a monster’s meal. And…”
Selphi started her speech, spitting at Raymond while doing so.
“Our quest given to Jen is a challenge of a different level! You’re saying we can’t even take care of a simple task, and if we don’t, you’ll punish us. Who would succeed then if it’s not Jen? Hmph, hmph, hmph!”
Selphi stroked her chin whiskers and laughed. Raymond mocked her.
“Yeah, yeah. You’re saying that because you’re thinking about the penalty. That pink-haired woman with the mana seal, you mean.”
“…Kuh.”
“Kk-kk-kk! I’ve just realized that Arkan is raising villains. What a thing! It seems like the nobles have a special corner after all!”
“No, that’s… part of the quest’s progress.”
The two deans’ students, with their transformed aura, were boasting about their skills.
Stella and Camille looked at the scene with embarrassment, as if they didn’t want to admit it.
“And, deans… sir…”
“Just stop it. Stella, show some respect.”
“I didn’t say anything, did I?”
Stella’s sudden outburst.
Just then, a student from Selia Academy, dispatched to the scene, spoke up.
“Ha… both of you are really good at loving your students, aren’t you?”
Camille received the student’s words with a serious tone.
“Yes, it’s rare to find deans who care so much about their students.”
“Yes, yes!”
The students wrapping up the deans. It was an ironic scene, where it was hard to tell who was the adult and who was the student.
*K* K*
On the 7th floor of the auction house, a VIP auction was being held. No, it had to be. Because a terrorist attack had started, and the buyers and guests had fled, leaving only the treasure and auction items behind.
“This way.”
Taking advantage of the chaos, Chris and Demona began to steal.
Chris, using her teleportation, analyzed the building’s layout and found that the most accurate route to the treasure was through the ceiling’s piping.
“I’ll go first, follow me.”
Chris and Demona, dressed in their refined spy outfits and black bodysuits, respectively. Just a moment ago, they had expected a thrilling spy mission, but reality was brutal. The two’s movements, as they crawled through the piping like turtles, were far from stylish.
“Uh, take a break for a second?”
Chris stopped moving, and Demona gave Chris a quick jab on the shoulder with her finger.
“Hey! You! What are you doing?!”
Chris turned his head to argue, but Demona’s expression remained as calm as a mask, using her chin to point forward. That was a signal to move quickly to anyone who saw it.
“Ah… this is real.”
Although Chris had a brief moment of hesitation, he was sweating profusely and working hard. It wasn’t until he destroyed three spider webs that they were able to reach the end of the pipe.
“Isn’t it unlikely that the password is wrong?”
The digital safe in front of Chris was large enough to be called a room. Chris’s hand was shaking as he input the 17-digit password without missing a beat.
Ding-ding.
Despite its size, the safe’s door opened with a cute sound.
“Hmph.”
Chris, who was using the Tianlian, walked past the stacked goods in the warehouse, picked up the hidden red gem, and took a step back.
“This is… Bloody Fruit?”
At the same time, the quest given to Chris and Demona was refreshed.
[Quest – Protect the Bloody Fruit.]
[Details – Rebellion will use all means to steal the Bloody Fruit from us. Protect the Bloody Fruit from them.]
Although it was unclear what the Bloody Fruit was or why Rebellion was after it, one thing was certain.
“Without a word, you’re telling me to guard this?”
Chris turned around.
7th Floor Entrance. A large man was approaching the safe.
“That! What are you doing, kid?”
Chris doubted his own eyes.
The large man was breaking down the password-protected door with his fists and approaching.
“Demona, quickly to the pipe!”
“…”
Demona also sensed the magic aura and quickly hid in the pipe. Chris closed the safe door and threw himself towards the pipe.
“……Now, let’s just quietly leave. We can escape once we pass through the pipe.”
Chris’s advice caused Demona to nod her head. Then, she lowered her posture and moved like a cat, slowly and quietly. As Demona moved ahead, Chris turned his head in surprise.
“……Uh.”
When Chris looked away in alarm, the large man was standing below, his posture fixed. He then grasped his fist with all his might and stretched it towards the ceiling, where the pipe was located.
“What’s this!? You’re crazy!”
Kwaang!
The ceiling caved in, pipes burst, and Chris, Demona, and Bruno checked on each other. Bruno burst out laughing, gazing at the two of them.
“Ha ha ha! You two look like a pair of mice! I would have let you go normally, but……”
Bruno’s eyes gleamed with a strange power, and Chris let out a scream-like cry.
“Demona! Quickly! Jump out!”
Just a hair’s breadth away from the pipe where Chris and Demona were standing, a massive boulder erupted.
“Kaha ha ha! You’re quick-witted.”
But Bruno’s attack didn’t stop. Bruno grabbed Chris’s leg and flung him to the ground with ease.
“Kkang!”
“Kahk!”
The overwhelming strength of a 5th-grade Hunter.
The shock caused Chris to spit out blood, and Demona pulled out a halberd to attack Bruno.
“Kung!”
However, it was no match for Bruno, who was a strong Hunter among the 5th-grade ranks. Bruno caught Demona’s attack with his bare hands.
“This kind of power for someone of that build? Ha ha ha! It’s a waste to steal.”
Boom!
Bruno’s fist was heading straight for Demona’s face. Chris, who had read the attack, somehow managed to dodge the punch.
“Ugh! What are you doing? Get a grip!”
But Demona was already stiffening her body. It was her first fight against a strong opponent, and it was an unfamiliar experience for her.
“…!”
Looking at Demona, who was like that, Bruno burst out laughing.
“This is getting hard to watch…”
Bruno was a villain, but he had his own reasons for joining the Rebellion. He was fierce, but he was not a bloodthirsty killer.
“I don’t want to kill you kids either. I’ll spare your lives. Hand over the Blood Vial to me. You’re a kid, and that’s something we need.”
Bruno’s persuasion left Chris in a state of contemplation.
“‘He’s a monster.'”
As a member of the Rebellion, Bruno was no match for the frightened Demona and Chris. However, if he handed over the Blood Vial… he might be able to do something next.
“Demona.”
Chris called out to Demona.
Demona, her trembling hands stilled, looked at Chris. Chris reached out and touched Demona’s forehead.
Tat-tat!
The crisp slap of his palm.
Démona, who had been beaten without understanding a word of English, let out a vicious cry.
“Did I say that before? I wanted to try it once?”
Chris handed Démona a crimson gemstone as she was bewildered.
“Hurry and run away. I’ll take care of it here.”
Very short time.
Chris’s gaze and Démona’s gaze crossed. A Seyer must always choose the best option. Thanks to this, Démona immediately understood Chris’s choice. It was because Chris pretended to be bait to lure Bruno into a fight. Démona’s usually expressionless eyes trembled slightly.
“…”
“Don’t be fooled. I’m running away, so you have no choice but to give me what I want. My leg is injured.”
Chris’s words were spoken in a small voice by Démona.
“…Don’t die.”
At the first sound of Démona’s voice, Chris let out a loud cry.
“What’s wrong, you can talk! Don’t worry and flee. I’ll manage to survive somehow.”
Démona started running, and Bruno sneered bitterly.
“Really, it’s both impressive and arrogant. How much do you think you can withstand against me?”
