“Wow, hehe… !”

Frey, a warrior dressed in rags, barely walks, leaning against the alley. Hot sighs were constantly leaking from her mouth.

“Keuuk… Wow… .”

Grumble- thud. White sediment leaked from between Frey’s lips and fell to the floor. Frey took a deep breath and somehow got to his feet.

Her right hand was braced against the wall to keep her body from falling. Her left hand never left her stomach. Nevertheless, every time the hand brushed his abdomen, Frey let out a moan, ‘Ugh!’

‘hurry… We need to get out quickly. When Cheonwoong takes time… Joker was right! damn!’

Even though I was injured, it was not appropriate to ask for help in the sun. If he, a warrior, shows up at the hospital in complete disrepair, the empire will be in chaos, and the person who went to the shady intelligence agency will eventually be tracked down.

‘joker… Now that it’s clear that he’s Evans, no matter how lucky he is, he can’t guarantee his safety. If Joker truly wants to kill Cheonwoong… Even if Cheonwoong leaves Joker alone and comes to save me, I can’t show him like this… ‘Ugh!’

The blue bruises caused throbbing pain. Even taking a single step was painful as if Frey’s bones were breaking.

“Ha, ha… Dangerous… I hurt my internal organs properly… .”

‘Where should I go… ? I already showed half of my face to the Joker, so he might be guessing my identity… If I don’t show up at the Academy tomorrow, they’ll think more suspicious of me… .’

Jabak-.

The streets were devastated as the two strongmen clashed. Frey moved to the academy, sneaking into the dark alleys instead of the wide streets.

I was out of breath, and it was painful to breathe as my misaligned ribs pierced my lungs. But Frey didn’t stop walking.

Because her steps were not just hers.

give up. That two-syllable short word might sound like something to others, but to Frey, it was an easy word.

A warrior.

The lord’s sword.

The tip of the sword that wields the enormous power of slaughter must be unrighteousness.

The life of the hero who put the lives of the people of the continent on his back is not his alone.

Jabak-.

Frey, who knew that fact better than anyone else, did not give up his will and moved to the academy, even though it was painful as if his intestines were about to burst.

Because there was a saint there who could perfectly heal any wound in the world.

“… .”

In the end, Frey moved on and arrived at Eden Academy.

She climbed over the wall and came out secretly so as not to leave a record of her outing. Frey once again climbed the castle wall with his bare hands and barely managed to cross the academy’s wall.

“Wow… Ugh… .”

Frey went into his dormitory first and changed into his normal school uniform. The school uniform hid her bitter wounds.

Pretending to walk as fine as possible without limping, Frey arrived at Maria’s dormitory. After standing in front of the door and taking a deep breath, Frey knocked on the door three times.

Knock knock-.

“Maria… there is… ?”

Even while I was talking, my mind was spinning. Frey became dizzy and stumbled once.

The door opened quickly. A girl with snow-white hair and a gentle smile appeared inside the door.

“Hero? What’s going on?”

As soon as he caught sight of the girl, Frey collapsed with a sigh of relief. Leaning your head into the girl’s arms.

Slurp-.

“This… ! What did I do… !”

Stella’s white face was distorted with self-destruction. She seemed frozen in front of an alley.

A little while ago, this was the place where a masked assailant was strangling and beating another person.

“Ah, ah… .”

There was no one there anymore. Even the hooded citizens, who of course had to sit down and take care of themselves.

Stella closed her mouth, letting out a helpless moan, got down on one knee, and lowered her upper body. It was to check for traces.

Vomit and footprints that appear to have been vomited. However, the footprints were no longer visible after a certain distance.

The citizen must have been here. Nevertheless, what could not be seen brought Stella’s mind to only one conclusion.

What the masked man shouted at him a little while ago also played a role.

‘Did you follow my orders and go kill that bitch while you were distracted? Ha ha ha ha ha!’

‘what are you doing! Let’s go! If you’re a hero, be a hero and save the citizens! If you throw away citizens and throw one punch, you are a gangster and a gangster!’

The gunman said that his colleague, the cat beast, would be targeting citizens. And now, Stella was feeling extremely miserable.

“You were complacent… Like a fool… .”

‘Instead of following that guy, I should have protected the citizens first… I never thought he would last that long. I killed it. I!’

Sigh-.

A tall, slender body stood up. A huge anger rose up. The first was anger at himself for being incompetent and complacent, and the second was anger at the stranger who had toyed with him like a horse in his hands.

The sound of bones meeting each other came from a tightly clenched fist. Suppressing the burning anger in a corner of her heart, Stella judged with cold reason.

The only key to overcoming the current situation. No, no clue.

Paang-!

Stella jumped up from the ground and went to the road where she had been fighting fiercely just a moment ago. A car horn was sounding in the middle of a large road.

Large smoke was rising from the road, and there was a large pit in the center of the smoke. It was the pit where Stella and the gunman fought inside.

“Damn… After all, there isn’t one… You can’t believe I’ve already been taken out.”

Stella looked closely at the place, wondering if there were any clues left by the assailant. The appearance of citizens who keep disappearing… The girl who had probably been kidnapped flashed before her eyes, but Stella made up her mind.

This is Stella, who just turned 20 this year. If you think about it, you are a beginner in society. Nevertheless, he was so outstanding that he was nicknamed ‘Cheonwoong’ by the citizens, but it was inevitable that he was still young at heart.

Clap clap-!

‘Be alert… ! In times like these, you need to be more calm!’

In the end, it was only after she slapped herself on the cheek with both palms that Stella was able to come to her senses. Hawk eyes scanned the scene of battle.

There was barely anything to call a trace. Nevertheless, Stella’s golden eye does not give up and continues its search.

“Hmm?”

Something very small twinkled in the darkness. When I pointed it out with my finger, the object turned out to be a small button.

I wonder if this button could be any clue, but it’s the only thing that helps right now. Stella carefully put it in her pocket and came out of the pit with nothing more to look for.

When she arrived, a Panthera crew member called her.

“Assertion! What happened? Suddenly, a gunshot was heard and the captain ran out! Why is it like this again?”

“… Iris, there was a powerful monster. Did you report it to the police?”

“Ugh, yes! I thought the captain would catch the assailant, so I reported it as soon as he flew away! But where is the gunman?”

A crew member called Iris looked around. Of course, this is to find the main culprit of the incident, who must have been caught by Stella.

“Missed.”

“Ah, I see. Then just hand it over to the police who will arrive soon… What, what?”

“Missed. He was a strong guy. Look at my face.”

Stella pointed to her face with her hand. The place where the blood had dried up was clearly the result of a fierce fight.

“Joo, you made the captain’s face like that… ? No, that guy suddenly appeared from somewhere… ?”

“We need to find out about that from now on. What is certain is that he was wearing a mask. A white mask with a smiling face… Tsk.”

“Well, I see… okay. Let’s talk to the police for more details. Well, but… Captain, what is that on your face?”

The crew member pointed to Stella’s chin with a shaky hand. Since she couldn’t see her own chin, Stella touched her chin with her hand to see if there was anything wrong.

“Huh?”

I felt a strange sensation at my fingertips. A sensation as if you were touching something thin, a material between paper and vinyl.

Without hesitation, Stella removed the thing from her chin in one go. Stella’s eyes widened as she confirmed its identity.

“Band-Aid… ?”

Next, the whisper of a strange man suddenly appears.

‘Does your chin feel numb? Oh my gosh, look at how my beautiful skin is torn. Shall I put a band-aid on it? Oh, of course… ‘If you’re still alive!’

Could it be that they put a Band-Aid on him because he survived as he said? When you hit him in the arm and he hits you in the face?

‘In the midst of that hectic process, he took out a bandage and put it on my chin… ?’

Instead of my jaw, my head tingled. What kind of novel monster is this? You put a band-aid on someone who is fighting to keep a promise.

Brain I was dazed, but one thing was certain. Stella swallowed dry saliva.

A strange villain who has never been heard of before has appeared.
