I Became the Academy’s Kibitz Villain

Chapter 107: The Academy's Spring Day (1)

Vacation to Seoul.

A conversation with Solar Platina - Yumir.

The rampage of the supporting heroine, Yuliana.

A showdown with Snow White, Baek Seol-hee.

The reunion with Gunggi.

There were ups and downs, but after a brief rest in Seoul, I returned to Sejong Island.

The condition of my magical power was good.

The depleted magic power was significantly recovered during my stay in Seoul. I supplemented my vital energy by eating ginseng that the chief sent me as a gift through special delivery.

The physical difference between leaving and returning to Sejong Island was just a wound on my left hand.

-“Where did you get such a wound?”

-“I got it while blocking a remote thrown by my wife during a domestic fight.”

-“Oh my… You are approaching fifty and already in the grave of life…”

-“Ha, haha. Still, we live together because we love each other.”

-“Live diligently. If you’re planning to divorce, try to minimize the reasons for being blamed later at the family court. It’s definitely not based on my experience. Not from experience. Pass!”

No one knew that Do Ji-hwan was the Goblin.

I safely entered Sejong Island again; no one suspected or followed my tracks.

-“Teacher, you’re not avoiding me, right?”

-“I’m really busy.”

-“It’s not like villains are appearing these days. What’s keeping you so busy? You could have fun playing with a college girl!”

-“It’s not playing, it’s a game.”

-“I purposely said that, okay?”

Yumir approached me more aggressively than before.

After I shattered her common sense, Yumir fearlessly roamed around my house and actively appealed herself to me.

-“A beautiful woman like me is lying in bed, and you’re not interested?”

-“I don’t want to treat Yumir in that way.”

-“What way? Like this? Ouch?!”

-“Behave, either cover yourself with a blanket or throw a coat on.”

-“Oh, just now, you sounded very…um, like a villain. Hehe, I wonder which side is the real you…? As a teacher? Or…hehe, I get it. I get it. Don’t glare at me like that.”

-“…….“

I overlooked it.

The fact that this woman was a ‘westerner.’

To be exact, it got more complicated, but I had forgotten that the environment she lived in was an English-speaking one.

-“I’m sorry, Yumir, but I don’t have time to play games. I need to read a book.”

-“Let’s read it together, then!”

-“No, I prefer reading alone.”

-“I’ll rent the next volume from the library just to spite you.”

-“If you do such a malicious thing, the Goblin will come to say, ‘You wretch’.”

-“Is that something a villain would do?”

Despite how my relationship with Yumir had progressed, the literary novel I borrowed from the library’s second floor was more important to me.

-“How can a man not pay attention to a 20-year-old beauty lying in his bed but just read a book? Isn’t that too much?!”

-“Isn’t it too much to make such a fuss while I’m reading?”

-“Grrr…! Fine! I’m going home!”

-“I’m not walking you there.”

-“God, this guy…!”

One person was doubting, but we were having a non-competitive competition holding each other’s non-weaknesses.

What about the other side?

Snow White, Baek Seol-hee, did not know that Do Ji-hwan was the Goblin.

-“Ji-hwan, are you planning to go to Ulleungdo? The cherry blossoms are in full bloom there.”

-“I’m considering visiting a hot spring soon. I injured my hand recently.”

-“Oh? Why? …Which hand?”

-“My left hand. I had a little accident in the bathroom with my wife.”

-“Ah, I see… Sigh.”

Though we hadn’t met directly on Sejong Island yet, I was waiting for the day to meet Baek Seol-hee in Ulleungdo.

-“Please let me know once you set a date. I’ll take a look at your hand.”

-“Thank you, Seol-hee. You’ve had a tough time in Gangwon-do, so you should rest.”

-“Did you see?”

-“It was on the news.”

If I subtly appealed and made her realize that Do Ji-hwan was the Goblin, it would certainly help me in the future.

Yumir.

Baek Seol-hee.

Making these two heroes, these two heroines, devoted people to me through adultery.

To achieve this audacious plan, I even returned from a hospital in Seoul with a bandage and a cast wrapped around my left arm…

“Why is your arm like that? It’s not like someone like you would get injured playing Goblin games.”

“What?”

During work, Pink, the student council president Yoon Iseon, who came to borrow a book, pointed at my cast-bound hand.

“What’s this? You’ve been playing the ‘Goblin Game’. It’s a current trend.”

“Trend… what? What’s that?”

“Don’t you know? It’s people getting hurt while imitating how the Goblin withstands Snow White’s attacks. Hmm, you didn’t happen to play this while drinking with friends, did you?”

“Are you teasing me, student Yoon Iseon?”

“No, not teasing, it’s just that recently, many people have injured their left hands due to this.”

“Do I look like the kind of person who would do that?”

“Then how did you get hurt?”

“Got hit during a domestic argument.”

“…….”

“It’s nothing serious. When I say domestic argument, it’s just an accident of sorts.”

Upon hearing Yoon Iseon’s words, I immediately searched for the ‘Goblin Game’.

“‘Goblin Game’… found it. Is it this?”

“Yes. That’s right. It’s so popular that anything you see is all ‘Goblin Game’.”

And quickly, on the internet, I found out why it had spread like a trend.

“Goblin punch! Goblin kick!”

“Snow White punch! Catch the Goblin!”

“Goblin Fusion! Goblin Romance!”

“Snow Maiden Making Challenge!”

“Hah.”

What a jammin party.

“Footage of Snow White and the Goblin fighting has just officially surfaced. It’s a video seen through the camera of Armored Taejo’s Taeguk Watch. You can’t hear the voices, but you can see the whole battle. People are mimicking that fight.”

“But what’s all this ‘Goblin Punch’ and stuff?”

“They’re all imitating the Goblin’s techniques. Once a technique becomes trendy, kids usually imitate it or bully each other with it.”

“Huh.”

Even though the majority of the super-powered people in this world were considered jammin, I didn’t expect they’d imitate a super-powered fight like jammin kids.

Of course, I knew this, having lived here for half a year.

But there were many times when I felt it was too much.

People did the same during the Dodjirider era, but did people in this world just follow anything that was slightly cool?

‘I must never use a skill like Geo-gun or Iron Rod.’

I should try not to use skills that could cause trauma to someone.

That was what I thought, but there was no way to prevent this from spreading through internet video sites, and there was no way to tell people not to imitate it.

“Shouldn’t there be a warning at the start of the video? Like, ‘Do not try this at home.’”

“Do you think people will stop if you warn them? They’d want to do it more.”

“So, that’s why so many people get injured?”

“It’s the Goblin’s fault for making it look fun.”

“No way.”

That was unfair.

“Does that even make sense?”

“Yes. The feeling of Armored Taejo fighting and that of the Goblin is totally different. Of course, it makes sense.”

“Do you want to watch this?”

“No, I don’t. I know what that is. It’s Sangmo’s windmill attack.”

“If you see that and the Goblin fighting, wouldn’t you naturally want to follow the Goblin?”

Do Ji-Hwan was not the Goblin, but he felt extremely wronged.

“So, you don’t follow these things, Iseon?”

“I’m tempted.”

“What did you say?”

“The Snow White side. I turned on the TV as soon as I heard the Goblin had appeared. Ah. I was envious of the Snow White side.”

“What?”

Yoon Iseon blushed, her face turning red, and she gently covered her face with her hands.

“Seeing the Goblin deflect attacks like that and then gently wrap around the waist. Ah, it’s so cool. I would have fainted from happiness if I were in that position.”

“……”

Yoon Iseon, a passionate fan of the Goblin, was jealous of Baek Seol-hee.

“Look at him. Pushing the sword away intentionally in case it slashes. Supporting her back with the top of his foot so as not to hit the ground when falling down. And then, his sword pointed at her neck but deliberately kept a slight distance so that the tip of the sword did not touch her neck by moving his shoulder back. Ah, Snow White is truly blessed….”

“Do kids also follow this?”

“Yes. Many girls have broken the back of their heads. Many couples who follow this end up fighting because they fall down. It’s also a trend to film a certification video as a ‘challenge’ following this posture.”

“Goodness.”

No matter how much this world became interested in trends, and cyber leeches made money from views when something became an issue…

Wasn’t this a bit too much?

“What does the Snow Maiden Making Challenge mean, really?”

“Well, if the Goblin and Ice Princess get married, the natural outcome would be a Snow Maiden….”

“But you said you’re a Goblin fan. Do you think it makes sense for the Goblin and Snow White to get together?”

“No. The Goblin doesn’t belong to anyone.”

“But why are they constantly trying to link them together?”

“So, I’m upset. The Goblin should be for everyone.”

Yoon Iseon twisted her lips in annoyance.

I wasn’t sure whether it was fan love or love love, but I knew Yoon Iseon was very dissatisfied with the idea of the Goblin having a partner.

“What would you do if the Goblin had a lover or got married?”

“……The Goblin, getting married?”

Yoon Iseon’s pupils started to shake uncontrollably.

“Well, then…. It would be truly shocking….”

Her fist trembled, and her eyes welled up as if overwhelmed by the mere thought. Yoon Iseon barely managed to open her mouth with a trembling voice.

“But, if he’s happy, it’s okay….”

“I feel sorry, somehow.”

In many ways.

“I’ll lend you a book. Which book is it this time?”

“Ah. It’s a book about Ulleungdo. More specifically, about the land of Ulleungdo.”

When I saw the book that Yoon Iseon brought out, I remembered the main story’s setting.

April.

Field Practice.

The original, volume 2.

The heroine is kidnapped.

The culprit.

The Goblin.
