‘Astra-nim. The Maker-nim has come to see you.’
The office has a cold atmosphere that reflects the personality of the owner of the room.
The woman named Astra sighed softly and answered the voice of her subordinate outside the door.
“..Please let me in.”
After a while, a doll opens the door with a squeak and comes in.
A luxurious black uniform, a half-mask covering the upper half of the face, and a face that always has a leisurely smile.
“Maker.”
The Maker, who had used his powers before coming, answered her words with a smile covering his golden eyes.
“I’m back, Astra.”
Astra, the secretary of the ‘Chief’.
A woman who serves as a messenger for the president, who is currently unable to engage in much external activity.
The maker looked at her for a moment, smiled, and gave her a gentlemanly greeting.
And Astra, who felt a little creeped out by his appearance, touched both of her arms.
“..Isn’t it creepy that they keep being so polite to each other, even though they’re both executives?”
“Isn’t Astra always polite?”
“I do this because it’s a habit.”
“This is a habit for me too.”
“Sigh..”
Astra felt a little frustrated at his words that did not support her at all.
‘He’s definitely better than the other executives…’
Feeling something uneasy, she seemed to have given up, erased the conversation just now from her mind, and got back to the main topic.
“So, did you bring the medicine?”
“I brought it here safely.”
The maker took out a plastic bag containing pure white powder from his bosom.
“..This is the drug called ‘Ability Booster’.”
“Yes. It’s a drug that not only enhances abilities, but also has strong pleasure and addiction like regular drugs.”
Ability booster.
Drugs that have recently started to be released into the slums.
Unlike regular drugs, this drug was specifically created for people with special abilities.
“It seems like a really good world. When was it that people were persecuted just for being born with this ability, and now even things like this are being created.”
Is that because the ratio of normal people to people with superpowers has now changed to almost 6:4?
The maker was smiling brightly and drinking tea without realizing it.
Astra looks at him in bewilderment.
“What kind of old-fashioned thing are you talking about? When we were our age, wasn’t there almost no such discrimination?”
“That’s what I mean.”
Haha! Astra sighed deeply as he looked at the smiling Maker.
‘This guy is not in his right mind after all.’
Although it was his first mission to see how to handle things as an executive, it was clearly an order to commit murder.
But after completing that mission so casually, you’re joking around without even wiping off the blood…
‘He was a strange guy from the start when he joined the organization..’
“..Okay. You worked hard, Maker. I’ll think about the reward for this mission later.”
Astra shook off those thoughts and waved her hand at the Maker.
It was a signal to get out.
“Then.”
The maker took off his hat and bowed his head slightly, as if he were an old gentleman greeting.
The moment the maker opens the door and goes out.
“Ah.”
The Maker turned his head to look at Astra, as if he had forgotten what he was going to say.
“Astra. Now that I think about it, the terrorist attack that was explained to me last time was going to happen soon, right?”
“Yes, well. It’s a regular event. I think it’ll start next month. Why?”
The maker said it was no big deal.
“That terror. Can I do it alone?”
“Yes? Why?”
Astra asks curiously.
“Just because I think it would be impactful for me to debut as a villain for the first time.”
Let’s take that as the reward for this mission.
Astra, seeing his attitude that seemed firm yet smiling brightly, hesitated for a moment before nodding.
“Do as you please. But I hope the executives of the organization don’t look foolish.”
“Okay.”
With those words, the maker opened the door and went out.

When I got to my assigned room, I took off my stuffy mask and coat and shouted.
“Done!”
It’s been almost 20 years since I was immersed in a novel.
I finally made it this far after becoming a 0 year old baby!
I neatly organized my messy coat and mask, loosened my tie, and sat down on the sofa.
‘I’m dying from acting.’
But when I look at the towers I’ve built with my acting, all the fatigue seems to fly away.
‘A strong organization that will protect me, and an executive position within that organization where I will never be abandoned, unlike regular members.’
and.
‘It’s now easier to intervene in the original work.’
Considering that it came in hastily right before the original work started after being a mess since the Ice Age, it’s a pretty good result.
It made me think that I should have just monopolized all the elixirs and come here first instead of doing something stupid.
“Oh, by the way, elixir.”
I rummaged through my vest pockets and took out a wooden box.
A refreshing scented elixir that you can see as soon as you open the box.
“Hmm, hmm~”
A refreshing sensation spreads throughout my body as I hum and put the elixir in my mouth.
“Uh…ss.”
Although the bitter taste was unavoidable, I moistened my throat with the teacup that had been filled with black tea beforehand.
After a while, I smiled in satisfaction at my increased magical power.
‘Is this level of magical power A-class? Or perhaps closer to S-class?’
I can’t be sure because my ability itself consumes a lot of magic power, but at least I won’t get tired after hunting down some C-class villains.
‘Okay, perfect.’
Everything is so good that it makes me laugh naturally.
After finishing tidying up, I got up from the sofa and walked over to the desk.
Moving to the desk, you can see various books and blueprints.
Among them, I picked up the notebook that was spread wide open on the desk.
Sentences scattered throughout the book in various ways.
I erased the sentence ‘S-Class Villain Blue Scope Explosion Terror’ with a pen in between.
‘Good.’
When I saw the erased sentence, I smiled happily, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction.
‘He was a guy who indiscriminately terrorized villain organizations, so I didn’t know when he would mess with me. Now, as soon as I got a reason, I was given the task of dealing with him.’
Thinking back, I think it was a good idea to leave drugs next to a few low-level employees.
‘Who should I deal with next? Or should I steal the elixir? Or…’
While smiling brightly and deciding what to do next.
Knock knock.
‘Mr. Maker. Are you there?’
“Please wait a moment.”
After I finished organizing my desk, I heard a voice outside the door.
He opened the door wearing a half mask.
As soon as I opened the door, what I saw was a man wearing a uniform that was a little darker than my own, closer to gray, and a hat pulled down low.
“What’s going on?”
“37 from the 4th Platoon of the Research Department! The Doctor says he has completed the work requested by the Maker!”
A man who answers my questions with a loud voice.
Even though I had only been here for a short time, I felt a strange sense of joy when I saw them being nervous because they were executives.
‘I’m addicted to this taste!’
“Thank you for your hard work. 37. Please tell the doctor that I will come and look for him soon.”
“Okay! Got it!”
I looked at the back of 37, who was about to leave with a smile on his face, as he walked away.
‘By the way, since it’s something I requested… Last time, I asked for a smoke screen that spreads widely for a safe escape, and it looks like it’s already been made.’
Deciding to come back and look for it later, I closed the door and headed back to my desk.
Because there was still a lot to plan.
***
Inside an abandoned building that was half-burned down and had a strange feeling.
“wow..what is all this?”
“It doesn’t look good. Support it, support it.”
In the midst of a field of numerous police officers running around, two women stood out and were having a conversation.
“Tsk, this really is a mess.”
The woman with light blue eyes and hair frowned as she analyzed the disaster before her eyes.
Corpses that looked like they had burst all over the place, corpses with puncture marks all over the body, etc.
If anyone had seen it, they would have seen corpses strewn about, just like they would have seen on a battlefield.
“A smoke grenade, a shotgun, and is this a pistol? And..”
“There are too many!”
As the blonde woman who had been wandering around the area said, there were too many traces of dead bodies.
The woman with light blue hair nodded at the blonde woman’s words.
“It’s likely that it was a gang fight between groups.”
At least two or three types of firearms and various consumables were used, even though it appears to have been done by one person.
In the case of firearms, if you throw them away after using them once or twice, there are more bullets in the magazine than you can fit in, and if you add consumables, you will be short on supplies.
Therefore, I thought that rather than just one person, there should be at least several people, or at least some people with telekinesis.
“Hey! Sister! Look over there!”
The light blue haired woman turned her head at the blonde woman’s words.
What was shown was a dead man with his whole body tied up and a hole cut through his forehead.
The woman approached the corpse, curious to see that it was the only one in such pristine condition.
“Has the body been identified?”
“Yes? Yes, yes! Ice Queen! The background check just finished! And according to the results of the investigation… It seems that it is definitely the villain Blue Scope himself!”
A man handed over a background check to a woman who called him the Ice Queen while looking very nervous.
“Hmm. Is this the blue scope?”
The Ice Queen looked at Blue Scope with her light blue eyes.
‘Blue Scope. His own villain rank was B, but due to the loyalty and unity unique to the organization he owns, the association was considering raising him to B+ rank…’
When I looked at the dead guy in such a gruesome state, I was first struck by a sense of wonder.
“That guy died so easily?”
Even though I heard he was on drugs recently, he’s still a B-class guy?
“Sister! Come here!”
“Why again!”
After a moment of deep thought, the blonde woman’s voice was heard once again. The Ice Queen got up from her seat and walked in the direction from where the voice had come.
“All the guns are here!”
When I looked where the blonde woman was pointing, I saw guns strewn about that looked like they might have been used in the crime.
“Really?”
But the moment I picked up the gun and checked, I wondered why the criminals left this behind.
Once again, questions arose in her mind.
“What, where’s the serial number?”
This is because the gun she checked did not have a serial number that indicates the gun’s manufacturing date or place of manufacture.
The same goes for other guns that were lying around.
“Is that a priest’s gun? No, it looks like it was made in a factory.”
I’ve seen manufacturing plants in places like Africa or America, but this was the first time I’ve seen anything like this without any engraving. In a world where anyone can easily become a villain, guns are naturally strictly controlled.
“There’s nothing else besides guns! That..”
“Serial number?”
“Yes! That’s it!”
Not long after, we also examined the grenade fragments extracted from another body.
As expected, I couldn’t even see the serial number.
“What on earth are they doing?”
Even though there were traces, they couldn’t find the culprit.
It may be a man or a woman, an individual or many, a capable person or an incapable person.
When I just looked at this, I thought he was a professional with perfectionist tendencies, but
And then they just left the guns that had killed many villains lying around like trash.
Is this an expression of confidence?
You guys can never catch me?
Or should I just look for it once?
‘…That’s interesting.’
A cold smile formed at the criminal’s actions, which seemed to be provoking him.
Looking at the situation, it seems like this incident will end as a simple fight between villains…
‘I guess I’ll have to look at it more carefully.’
Is this simply the end of this incident, or are these guys trying to start doing something right from this point on?
The light blue eyes of the A-class hero Ice Queen sparkled coldly.
