Those who have this ability, that is, the power of mana, cannot be controlled with modern weapons.

-Mana is an alien substance that is significantly different from existing concepts! This is a substance unlike any other modern energy source!

Because it is a material from extraterrestrial origin, mana cannot be controlled by any modern power.

To put it simply:

-Class E, a 17-year-old high school girl, has the power of a tank.

Even the E class, not the lowest class F, has the lethality and destructive power of a tank class.

Even at level F, you can protect yourself from bullets flying from afar with a mana shield, and by wrapping a mana shield around your body, you can withstand a barrage of bullets until all your mana is used up.

Even if you only become A-class, they jokingly say that you have army-level strength.

When it reaches the S class, it is called a national power level and a living nuclear weapon.

In this situation, there were no adults who had acquired this ability and they were all under the age of 25, so there was no way to guide these children to the so-called ‘right path’, whether they were born with this ability or were awakened as they grew up.

-Stop this ability!

-What should I do? You can’t kill me, right? Are you pissed? Are you angry? There’s no point in bringing a gun, right?

-What is the habit of speaking to adults?

-Adult? Haha, on the topic of incompetent people! I am much better than you! Gorani Stars, be wise, give me your condolences!

-Wow, this is crazy!!

The world situation has expanded beyond the conflict between nations into a confrontation between good and evil, order and chaos, and the old and new generations.

-Good kids who listen well become heroes, and the gang of boys who obey the law become villains.

A person who uses this ability to protect the existing world order.

A person who uses this ability for his own benefit.

-This world is not a battle between heroes and villains.

Someone said something like that about this worldview.

-It’s a battle between Jamin, who won the Model Child Award, and the Chokbeop Boys.

Villains are all cases of boys who have developed special abilities, and heroes are cases where good children who are model students in class and praised by their teachers have awakened these abilities.

It’s not wrong.

[Villain Red Scarf – Jeong Gong-in is a person with the ability to ignite, and after burning an animal to death at the age of 10, he grew up in a ‘psychiatric training center for children with special abilities…!]

The same goes for the guy who is running to set fire to the apartment building where I live, Banpojai, Seoul.

Psychopath.

Sociopath.

Or an ability superiorist.

As a person who is united in the thought that he has the ability to obey and follow the existing order and laws, he is now trying to prove himself through terrorism.

[We have invited Dr. An Jeong-eun, a talented criminal psychologist. Why is Red Scarf targeting Banpojai?]

[Banpojai is a symbol. When he entered the spiritual training center, Banpojai became famous on the Internet as a symbol of wealth.]

[Are you going to send a message by terrorizing the richest apartment complex?]

[Yes. Since there are a lot of heroes in Busan, he is planning to commit terrorism in a place where there are relatively no heroes, and in what he remembers as a wealthy town….]

“So, the child has no common sense, but his knowledge is only 10 years old?”

The reason why the apartment I live in is at risk of terrorism is simply due to an illusion.

“Anyway, at the level of Chokbeop Jammin.”

It’s absurd, but even if you look at the terrorist incidents that actually occurred in history, there are often more terrorist incidents that occurred due to illusion than you might think.

Even more so if it is an arsonist who has awakened this ability and thinks he is superior.

[What is the current situation in Seoul?! Reporter Han Kang!]

[…yes! This is Seoul, the Han River! An emergency evacuation order was issued in the area of Seocho-dong and other areas planned for terrorist attacks, and Seoul citizens were thrown into chaos!]

“It is natural that a tram traveling at 200 km/h will reach Seoul.”

It is ‘running’ north on the Gyeongbu Expressway at an insane speed, but there is no way to stop it.

“It’s uproar.”

When I came down the stairs and came out, I saw that people were leaving Banpo-dong in fear.

“Hero!! Where is the hero?!”

“Damn, they’re all in Busan! Is there anyone? There must be at least one hero who came back from his hometown!”

“What is the chase team coming from Busan doing? Catch that guy right now! Don’t make them come all the way to Seoul!!”

He is currently running away from the heroes of Busan.

At the same time as he comes to Seoul to cause terrorism, he uses his abilities, mana, and speed to outwit the heroes who come to catch him in Busan.

[What is the current situation of the heroes from Busan?!]

[The heroes barely followed, but Red Scarf caused a car accident, resulting in casualties…!]

“Tsk.”

Heroes are people who have received awards for being good exemplary children.

If a thief runs and pushes a passing grandmother and runs away, these are the people who, while chasing the thief, will run to the bleeding grandmother and provide first aid.

[The number of casualties is currently over 20…!]

“Did he decide not to live in Korea?”

Even if you cross the line, you’ve gone too far.

It will be difficult to live in the world of light from now on.

“…is it an asylum?”

But what if it’s dark?

What if it is a place that accepts exiled villains from Korea out of fear of Korea’s advancement?

“Is this guy really trying to move to China or Russia?”

After causing a terrorist attack in Seoul and pretending to be dead by crossing the sea, he may reappear under the name of ‘Jieng Gouing’ or ‘Jungor Bleinseki’.

In fact, there are many such people.

In Korea, the benefits that heroes receive compared to their abilities are overwhelmingly lower than in other countries, and other countries are willing to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to accept people with special abilities from Korea.

Originally, that was also the ‘setting’ of this novel.

” Indeed, this small peninsula has received so many blessings.”

According to the setting, it is because ‘it’ is sleeping underground where Sejong Island is, but the Korean Peninsula is a place blessed with Mana.

[Why is Red Scarf doing this? If you become a hero, you can become an A-class hero who can protect a city, and if you go abroad, you can become a hero who can protect the entire country!]

Thanks to this, even if he has the ability to be praised as the only hero and hero of national salvation in other countries, in Korea, he can be reduced to the level of a common A-level villain who causes social controversy like the Red Scarf.

“Unfold the hero navigation! Are there no heroes in Seoul?”

“Damn it, there’s no one in the metropolitan area! The hero who was originally in Seoul is now on a business trip overseas!”

Now that it’s like this.

All we have to do is watch Seoul become a sea of fire.

Bababa, barbaba, barbam.

The smartphone rings.

A music sound similar to the opening song of a tokusatsu Sentai series sounds, different from the default sound built into the smartphone.

“…ugh.”

The word ‘Ω’ was written in large letters on the smartphone screen.

Even the picture embedded in the middle of the sentence is a ‘black dragon’.

I hurriedly went to a deserted place to avoid people’s attention, and then carefully answered the phone.

“…Yes, Chairman. I received a call.”

[Oh my, Manager Do. How you doing?]

A slightly youthful voice comes from over the smartphone.

If someone overhears from the side, it sounds like something said by a woman who is around the third generation of a chaebol.

Of course, it is slang to hide one’s identity.

The being on the other side of the receiver is the ‘Dark Demon Dragon’, the leader of the world conquest organization ‘Society’.

“Yes, thanks to you, I am doing well. Chairman, how are you doing?”

[Thanks to Manager Do, I am sleeping with my feet stretched out these days. Hehehe. But Manager Do, there is one thing that needs to be done urgently.]

“If the Chairman gives instructions, you must follow them immediately. What is it?”

[There is a red mafura, right? I think you need to pick it up~]

Red mafura.

This is also slang.

However, it is not a promised slang, but a metaphorical expression that requires a little thought.

“Is it collection or cleaning?”

[Oh, look at my mind. Since you’re throwing it away, you shouldn’t bring it to work. You understand, right?]

I asked for directions from collection to cleaning, and was told to ‘throw it away’.

[Our environment, green, green. Please dispose of it by putting it in a garbage bag. Hehehe, then please take care of me!]

The phone was disconnected.

Although the instructions were sudden, I couldn’t just sit still once I heard them.

‘The location is now Chungcheong-do.’

If I intercept them in Seoul, my identity could be revealed, so I’ll just have to head down south.

Vroom.

I got on the bike left in the parking lot.

To put it this way, my favorite horse, ‘Dark Knight – Black Knight’, which I bought with the first salary I earned from the organization.

The reason the name is like this is because it was given by the commander-in-chief.

I was just going to say ‘Raddle’ –

“…Huh?”

Something sent a chill down my spine.

And at the same time, someone came up behind me and-

puck!

“Ahh…!”

He put his head on my back.

I quickly turned my head to see if a new assassin had appeared.

“Who….”

“S-sorry…!”

The black-haired woman wearing a hat held her hands together and bowed towards me.

“Excuse me, could you please lend me a bike?! I’m in a hurry, so I’ll give you a reward!”

“Why is the bike… wait.”

I quickly looked the woman up and down.

“…Snow White?”

A wild heroine has appeared…!
