Chapter 7: Terror

*at the International Hero Association*

in the director’s office.

“So… have you received any information on this S-rank Villain named Indigo Reign?”

“Not yet, sir… but we’ll keep working on it,”

a man in a business suit said to the director.

Suddenly, an S-rank Hero entered the room, opening the door and then closing it behind him.

“Oh? It looks like there’s an interesting discussion going on here. What’s going on?”

“Ah… Laura, you’re just in time. We’re discussing an S-rank Villain who’s recently appeared and caused a lot of incidents, mostly in Korea.”

the director said calmly.

“This villain has been on the rise lately, huh? If I’m not mistaken, his name is…”

“Indigo Reign,”

another new Hero said.

The new arrival was the French S-rank Hero, Oceanaria.

“Oh? Oceanaria, long time no see. How are you? You seem to be less active lately.”

“…that… that’s because I’ve been quite tired lately, my energy drains quickly when waterbending, I think I need more training,”

Oceanaria said. Actually, what Oceanaria said was a lie.

She couldn’t say she was currently suffering from emotional wounds from a villain.

Rather, she was afraid of Indigo.

“Haven’t you faced him before? Come on, tell me what he has.”

“Ah, about that… I don’t think I can.”

“What? Why?”

“That’s because… I was helpless against him. He’s so strong… I was just lucky he was only targeting Andreo at the time.”

“Hmm? Is he really that scary?”

With that, the Director then replied.

“Don’t underestimate this Villain, Laura.”

“Even though he’s a new Villain, he possesses such power that even S-rank Heroes are helpless against him.”

Hearing this directly from the Director.

Laura looked curious. Why are they overestimating a Villain so much?

*In Korea, Indigo’s place*

I was relaxing on the living room sofa reading a book.

Meanwhile, I could see Lee Donghyun practicing his hacking techniques to an advanced level.

I then looked at the calendar on my phone.

[October 8, 2025]

“Ah… looks like it’s time.”

I then turned on the TV and tuned to the news.

[Breaking news: A major meeting of the World Jury Council is being held in Germany, with many journalists from around the world coming to broadcast this]

World Jury Council.

At first, when I read this webtoon, the term “World Jury Council” seemed strange. What exactly was that?

But after finishing the webtoon and rereading it over and over again, I finally understood who they were.

They are Heroes with powers beyond imagination.

They gather to discuss future villains and monsters.

Among them, the one I paid the most attention to was:

“Yaroslav”

He is a Hero from Russia with an SS rank.

After reading the webtoon, I learned that among the World Jury Council, Yaroslav is the strongest.

Why? It’s because his power is skill theft.

He can steal his enemies’ skills at will.

I must kill him.

Why? It’s because in the future, he will defect and become a villain and destroy the Heroes.

That will make it difficult for Lightnova to fight him.

In the next few months, he will fall ill and be hospitalized for cancer.

He survives the cancer, and after that, he will become the villain.

Waiting a few months doesn’t seem like a long time, and I have to be patient with this, because if I make a wrong move, I will be the victim.

Suddenly, Kim Gae-in arrived, her body covered in sweat, as if she had just been exercising.

She then approached me, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

“Oppa, what are you watching?”

Kim Gae-in asked, wiping her sweat with a white towel.

“I’m just watching the news.”

“Tch… your shows are always boring. Can’t we watch a Korean drama? Or a Chinese drama?”

“No, this is my TV, and I rule.”

Just so you know, Kim Gae-in… I don’t actually like watching the news either, but I have to because if I don’t, the world will be destroyed like in a webtoon. I have to stop this as soon as possible.

“Ugh… annoying.”

“Go take a shower, you stink with sweat,”

I said to Kim Gae-in, jokingly covering my nose with my hand.

“Umm… then let’s take a shower together…”

“Excuse me?”

I didn’t hear what Kim Gae-in said because her voice was so low.

“Nothing!”

With that, Kim Gae-in hurried to the bathroom with her towel. I noticed her ears were slightly red.

“What’s wrong with her?”

“Hmm… I think I forgot something…”

Oh yeah, I forgot. Kim Gae-in’s Villain outfit, which was being tailored, is ready.

I have to pick her up.

*in the slums*

I walked towards the tailor’s shop.

When I arrived, I found a housewife sewing.

Yes, she was the tailor from yesterday.

“Are the clothes I ordered yesterday ready?”

I asked calmly.

The woman saw me wearing a mask and, recognizing me, smiled.

“Ah, sure, wait a moment.”

The woman went inside to get the clothes I ordered.

After a while, she finally returned with the clothes I ordered.

“Here, the total is 300,000 won.”

Wow, that’s pretty cheap.

After handing over the money, I took the clothes.

I then tipped my hat as if I was paying respect to the woman.

Then I hurried back.

*at home*

I gave the clothes to Kim Gae-in.

“Oh? Looks like it’s done, thanks.”

“Wear them tomorrow, we’re going to have a big action tomorrow.”

With that, Kim Gae-in went back to her room with a happy expression.

*the next day, at Seoul University*

Ji-hye was seen walking down the campus hallway on her way to class.

Ji-hye is the first Korean S-rank Hero since the emergence of spiritual powers in this world.

She could be called a “super genius beauty.” Why? Because she’s not only brilliant in her studies, but also adept at quickly analyzing situations. Furthermore, she’s also beautiful.

With her flowing, golden-white hair, everyone on campus fell in love with her.

They had no idea that Ji-hye was the S-rank Hero, Lightnova.

Who would have guessed that? On campus, Ji-hye was a kind-hearted person who didn’t like violence at all.

Meanwhile, Lightnova, a Korean S-rank Hero, is extremely brutal towards her enemies. She will try to stun them and throw them in prison. But if there’s no way to stun them, she will kill them with the Director’s permission.

With a large fan base, Lightnova ranks number one among the most beautiful heroes in Korea.

Back to the present.

Ji-hye was dizzy from thinking too much about Indigo.

Ji-hye had often fought S-rank villains and defeated them, but this one was different.

Indigo Reign, its power was very strange and annoying for Ji-hye.

As Ji-hye sat in her seat, before class began,

her phone suddenly rang; it was the director.

*at Gimpo Airport*

I was standing in front of the control room entrance.

I was wearing my usual gear.

I opened the door.

There were many workers inside, and two security guards were on guard.

“Ladies and gentlemen! Sorry to interrupt your work time… I want to carry out my action now. By surrendering first, I will let you live.”

They glanced at me after I said that. The security guards saw me and pulled out stun guns.

Before they could point their stun guns at me, I snapped my fingers.

Suddenly, their stun guns disappeared.

The employees there looked shocked and started to get scared.

One of the security guards ran towards me and tried to physically confront me.

He tried to throw a punch at my face.

Well… of course, I dodged it, but I quickly countered his attack by striking him in the back of the neck with the heel of my shoe.

The security guard immediately fell unconscious.

“Looks like some people are trying to do something stupid…”

And with that, the employees immediately surrendered.

*on the other side*

People were bustling around the airport.

Suddenly, a microphone voice came from the control room.

[Ahem… is this all you hear? Hello! Ah, hello? Can you hear me? Then… hello!! Let me introduce myself, I’m Indigo Reign, an S-rank Villain.]

[I’m currently hijacking the control room, and I’m telling you to get inside the airport and not run away.]

[Why? Because if you look outside, there are seven tornadoes heading this way. If you do anything stupid, you’ll probably die.]

Hearing this, people began to panic and try to leave the airport.

Just as they were about to reach the airport exit,

Suddenly, a beautiful woman in tight black clothing appeared.

She was Kim Gae-in, whose current Villain name was Windra.

Windra then used her wind power to push them all back from the exit.

“You guys seem really stubborn. Didn’t my boss say no one was allowed to leave here? Didn’t you hear the announcement?”

With that, the electric doors were forced shut from all directions.

It seemed to be Lee Donghyun with his extraordinary hacking skills.

Then the voice from the microphone came again.

[Ah, I forgot to mention, I didn’t come here alone. If you can see the woman over there, she’s my partner, Windra. Don’t do anything stupid, okay?]

Security personnel arrived with firearms and incredible wind power.

Windra picked them all up and dropped them from a height.

“I told you, no one resists if you want to live.”

With that, the people at the airport began to panic and sat on the floor, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

*on the other side*

inside a plane approaching Gimpo Airport.

[Emergency!] Korean Air, we’ve been informed that Gimpo Airport is currently under attack by a villain. Please land at another airport.]

“What!? The airport is being hijacked!?”

said the captain.

“Control room, we’re currently low on fuel. If we insist on landing at a distant airport, we’ll likely crash.”

[…then what can we do? Please inform the passengers not to panic upon disembarking. Exiting the airport is currently prohibited. Gimpo Airport is also currently surrounded by seven large tornadoes, and we can’t do anything. We apologize for our inability.]

With that, the connection was lost.

“Damn… how could this happen?”

“Captain, we have to inform the passengers.”

“Yes… you’re right.”

*at the airport*

Indigo was seen sitting relaxed in a chair in the control room.

Beside her, several employees were seen looking down in fear.

“Hmm, looks like this is going according to plan.”

Everything is going according to plan so far, hopefully nothing strange happens.
