“Wow~! Get to know this delicious-looking guy!”
The robbers never turned their eyes and said things like that because a handsome man suddenly appeared.
Wasn’t their leader giving off an ominous vibe just a moment ago?
If I did something so frivolous, I would definitely get stamped out by the captain and have to deal with the consequences.
This isn’t even Japan.
But there was one person who didn’t have to pay attention to such things.
The captain herself.
“Whew~ I hit the jackpot today? A handsome guy and an unidentified rock. Hey! Are you a model? Your body is amazing.”
Even if they were villains with superpowers, they would gather together in groups, so he was the leader who displayed words and actions that were appropriate for their level.
.
.
.
I ignored the words of the thug-looking guy and looked at the trunk she was holding.
‘There it is.’
It looks like they were watching the starlight meteor that I was aiming for.
In front of him was a man shaking with fear. He appeared to be Professor Aditya Rao, who was said to be in charge of transporting the meteorite.
At that moment, Professor Lao shouted at me.
“Young people…! Run away! These guys are train robbers!”
“Train robbery?”
“This guy!”
puck!
The thug, or rather the robber, next to the professor hit him on the head. He didn’t just hit him with his fist, but with the handle of a dagger, so the professor lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
‘You’ll probably have a headache when you wake up.’
By the way, this isn’t the American Wild West, so I don’t know if train robbers still exist these days.
Even in the United States, there are probably no cases of gangs operating in that manner anymore.
But I was able to understand a little bit through Maria’s subsequent explanation.
-Train robberies are quite common in India. Since many people travel with cash, robbing trains is said to be quite profitable. Some of them commit crimes by only selecting expensive seats with air conditioning. Of course, it is rare for a group to rob an entire train car like that… but given the chaos caused by people with superpowers, it is quite possible.
‘Ugh… ‘
Now that I think about it, it occurred to me that public transportation in India is not as safe as in Korea.
In Korea, most of the villains in public transportation are people who cause minor trouble, like drunkards, but I’ve heard that in India, not only pickpocketing and robbery, but even sexual crimes occur a lot.
Even one of the robbers had an unusual light shining from his eyes, which made him seem like he had supernatural powers.
‘In a word, he’s a villain who commits robbery.’
I was planning on quietly passing by the professor with the meteorite and stealing it from his inventory without anyone noticing, but things are getting annoying.
At first glance, it didn’t look like he had any intention of handing over the meteorite, and I didn’t think he would let it go that easily.
‘Just by looking at him, you can tell he’s planning to kidnap me and do something like that.’
This is the problem with the world where the roles of men and women are reversed.
It’s fun to get attention from a girl, but that requires the girl to be pretty.
Not only did those robbers not look like my type of guy, but they smelled really bad, as if they had been out and about.
A strange smell, a mixture of sweat, oil, spices, etc.
I don’t know about the smell of my woman’s sweat, but the smell of those kinds of women is just unpleasant.
‘I didn’t come as Ignis, but somehow I ended up doing hero things again.’
I grumbled inwardly, took the pyrokinesis gauntlets out of my inventory, and put them on my hands.
And then he threw a single punch into the air.
Phew!
“!”
Thud-
At the same time, the heads of the robbers who were hit snapped back, breaking their necks. The men collapsed, barely aware that they were dead.
The sole surviving villain tilted his head back and spoke.
“… You were a superpowered person too?”
“What, he’s not dead.”
I had no intention of setting off firecrackers with my robber’s head here, so I applied just enough force to break his neck, but he withstood it.
It was as if I had a superpower that made my body strong.
The guy said in a growling voice.
“I tried to be gentle with you, but it didn’t work. Are you the type that likes things rough?”
“Is that because your friends died? You still have friendship despite being a robber.”
“… I’ll break your limbs and use you as a living dildo for the rest of your life!”
A hot-tempered guy ran towards me with his red eyes glowing.
Kwajik!
“!”
A powerful leap and blow that causes the floor of the train to cave in.
puck!
‘It’s quite heavy?’
I tried to block it moderately and counterattack, but the unexpected strength I felt from my arm made my feet slip backwards.
It was only after I finally hit my back against the edge of the cabin with a thud that I was able to stop myself from being pushed.
It was a long time since I’d raised my stats and been pushed by someone in strength, so it felt refreshing.
But I wasn’t embarrassed or upset.
Rather, I found myself laughing out of a strange sense of anticipation.
Shhh
‘Yeah. This makes it a little more fun to fight.’
Superpowers originally come in many different types, and there are many of them whose working principles are difficult to understand.
This means that no matter how much my strength ability increases, a superpower that surpasses it can appear at any time.
‘This guy seems to have abilities specialized in strength.’
Although it was strong, its speed was more than enough to handle it. It wasn’t that difficult to deal with a beast that was only strong.
The villain looked at me with eyes that seemed more surprised than me.
“You’re pretty strong for a man. Even if I hit you hard enough to keep you from dying, you can still withstand this. Are you a superpowered person?”
“That guy also doesn’t seem to be able to use his strength at all, so his hands are quite weak.”
“… Let’s see if I can say that after being buried under it.”
The villain who said that swung his fist at my face.
thud!
This time, I didn’t bother to take it, but instead tilted my head to avoid it.
The guy’s fist left a mark on the metal wall of the train.
I chuckled as I looked at the traces.
“That’s scary. Are you thinking of smashing my face?”
Are you the type that looks at the body more than the face?
The guy’s face hardened as he saw me not being scared at all.
People who try to solve everything with force like this can’t stand being ignored by those they consider weaker than them.
Sure enough, as expected, the villain lowered his stance, his gaze darkened, and he rushed at me.
It was a tackle.
Boom!
Unable to withstand the force of the tackle, he broke through the wall of the train and moved to the back car.
I deliberately got tackled because I thought there was a chance that he would get caught up and die if we fought where the professor was.
“Gyaaaahh …
“What, what is it?!”
“Bomb…? Did a bomb explode?!”
The people in the back compartment screamed at the wall in front that had suddenly burst open, and chaos ensued.
The villain, not paying any attention to the situation, approached me and spoke as I bounced away.
“My superpower increases in proportion to the output of the machine I’m riding.”
What is the output of the machine you are riding?
We are on the train now.
then…
-The train’s power output is thousands of horsepower.
Phew!
A fist coming straight at you with Maria’s words.
‘If you hit it wrong, you could get hit by a train, right?’
Even if it were me, I think it would hurt quite a bit. I don’t think I would die though.
I can kind of guess why that villain commits train robbery.
There are few machines on land that can produce as much power as a train. Once you get on board, it’s like home ground.
‘So if I take a spaceship in a place like the Nova Empire, I can shoot beams from my eyes and warp?’
If that were possible, there would be no superpower more fraudulent.
Of course, I don’t think that will actually happen.
No matter how low the cost of a superpower is, there is a limit to the power it can exert.
‘I should make this into an artifact and collect it.’
And I’ll try a power test too.
I thought as I narrowly avoided the villain’s fist.
It’s a useful ability even if you don’t have to go all the way to a spaceship, just take the train.
I once happened to see a video of a cow being hit by a train.
I roughly expected my bones to break and bounce off or my body to be crushed and cut.
But it wasn’t like that, my body just exploded.
That means a cow weighing hundreds of kilograms burst like a balloon.
I don’t know if the train I saw then was a high-speed train or a freight train.
But even though the speed of this train was relatively slow, it was clear that the human body would not be able to withstand it.
I deliberately used the Heavenly Palace Fire Wall Gong to make that power possible, and then blocked the next swinging fist by crossing my arms.
It could be dangerous, so I approached from my side before my fist could fully exert force.
Bam!
He flew back one more space, breaking through the wall with his back.
“What? What is that flying in?”
“The passage over there is busted!”
“Are you the captain?”
Other robbers were seen stealing items from passengers.
It seems that the robbery wasn’t limited to the room where the professor was.
‘That’s roughly the level of power.’
I sat up, stretching my stiff arms.
I was worried that I would just have to kill him if he was too strong to subdue, but it didn’t seem necessary.
