I Became the Academy’s Kibitz Villain

Chapter 22: Transformation! That's Not How It's Done! (2)

The outward appearance of the Goblin was ordinary at first glance.

In the original, the Goblin was described in the novel, but due to an obsession with national identity, it appeared as a figure with disheveled hair and a torn black Hanbok.

However, I appeared to the world as someone dressed in a black suit, wearing a mask, casting a golden glow from my eyes.

The Goblin from the original was too much of a miscellaneous villain, so I changed my own concept to a ‘Gentleman Goblin’.

Does that mean I couldn’t take on a different form?

No.

Just like right now, I could change into a completely different form.

A sound from that felt like a sound effect rang out after a transformation, just like a rider who rode a bike.

[Wow….]

The lump of golden armor - Yumir lost her mind at the sight of me.

As soon as she saw the Goblin’s combat form - the second form, she remained still.

“Wow, holy shit! What’s that?!”

“Wasn’t that the Goblin?! The Goblin just transformed like that?!”

“Hey, turn on the stream! We can’t miss this!!”

Whether they were spectators or those who sensed the commotion and came looking, one by one, they were aiming the camera of their Taeguk Watch or smartphones at me and were filming.

It was probably surprising that Goblin, an S-grade villain, brazenly revealed himself on Sejong Island, but it was also surprising that Goblin appeared in a completely new form.

“Wha, what are you…!”

The girl who turned into a demon, Lilith, cursed me with a face distorted like an evil spirit.

“Why, why are you stealing the attention that I should be getting!!”

[So, you’re throwing a tantrum because you usually don’t get attention?]

I stretched one hand to the side.

[If so, you’re evil. And evil must be destroyed. That’s my principle.]

Others may say it was being a try-hard, but if a powerful force accompanied it, it became style - ‘coolness’.

[That was damn charismatic.]

As such, I later watched the related videos so that I could admire myself, just as I would feel moved while re-watching my own Pentakill videos.

[Villains, I execute.]

Taking a dignified pose, I drew out my weapon.

Fizzle!

Something similar to golden lightning flashed, and a new weapon sprang from both my hands.

An ordinary rod.

But it was not just a rod.

It was somewhat similar to the baton used by police officers, and it looked like it simply had the handle of a hand-axe attached to it.

There was no special name.

Because this was also a ‘Goblin’s club’.

‘If the Goblin uses it, it’s a Goblin’s club.’

All standards were set by me.

What I used would become a club.

And this club…

[Die, villain.]

There was no need to mention any other special abilities. It simply beats up villains.

“Ahh…!!”

Lilith began to recklessly launch magic spells toward me.

Ka-ang!

I casually swatted it away with a swing of the club.

“Fall, Goblin!!”

Magic spells began flying in succession, and I didn’t dodge the spells.

Instead.

Ta-da-da-dak!!

Instead, I rushed forward, swinging the club in my hands left and right to smack away her magic spells.

Pa-ang!

As the magic spells that were hit by my club fell to the ground, they exploded, stirring up dust. I emerged through the dust cloud.

[You’re weak.]

When I emerged from the dust, I swung my clubs in an X shape.

“You brat…! Why are you appearing in front of me and interfering! You’re a villain!!!”

[Yeah, a villain.]

The moment I approached Lilith, I powerfully swung my leg, kicking her in the waist.

“Kyaak!!”

Lilith screamed as she was thrown to the side.

Rolling on the ground, her wings broken, she struggled to get up as she spewed mana like vomiting blood.

“Cough, gasp, huff…!”

[Those who cause chaos using this power, the world calls you villains. I’m the same.]

Once again, I lightly gripped the clubs spread out to my sides and slowly walked forward.

[I’m just knocking down villains. So.]

I pointed one of my clubs forward.

[Move aside. Nameless’ Golden Knight’.]

[I’m sorry, but I can’t move.]

Suddenly,

[No matter how brutal the villain, they must face the judgment of the law. They have to be judged by the law.]

In front of me, a golden knight - merely someone in full gold plate, but out of my own courtesy, I decided to call her that - had interposed and blocked my way.

[Tiresome logic. Boring. Do you know how many heroes I’ve dealt with who speaks like that?]

[I do. And they all couldn’t stop you. But I will be different.]

Vroom.

[Because I am strong.]

As the knight stretched out her hand, a rather large golden greatsword appeared out of thin air.

[The reason many people couldn’t stop you until now is because they were weaker than you.]

[And you’re different?]

[Of course.]

Gooo.

The golden aura emanating from the knight was no joke.

Subjectively, just skimming over the glowing particles of magic power flowing from her toes, she was probably an S-class or higher.

‘Were you also part of the heroine reserve team?’

Perhaps she was one of the heroines that might have appeared if the author had continued the series to the second year of the academy instead of just the first.

There was no such golden knight from Canada in the original work.

Of course, they did leave a hook saying, ‘There might be S-class beauties in each country’, but that was just a hook.

However, that didn’t mean I could back down here.

That woman not only attacked the restaurant by her own will but also directly killed people.

[You’re trying not to kill the superpower user who sold her soul to the devil by killing and rampaging. Well, that’s a hero.]

Protecting even such a woman was the act of a ‘hero’.

[Golden Knight, what’s your name?]

[Solar Platina.]

Platinum Sun?

[… I’ve never heard that name before.]

[It’s because I’m showing this form to the world for the first time today. Just like you. But….]

Clink.

The knight gripped the greatsword with both hands and pointed it at me.

[I will defeat you and officially take the title of ‘Golden Knight’.]

[Do as you please.]

I casually turned my hand and lowered my stance.

[If you can, take it!]

When a battle happened among A-class individuals, the ticket price for a friendly match in the royal stands was worth more than ten million won.

No joke.

Superpowered individuals and their fights were just like movies!

People who watched soccer, movies, anime, and novels.

They all raved about the ‘real battles’ of the superpower users.

[Why watch a movie! When superpower users fight, that itself is a movie!]

The battles of the superpower users made all humans go crazy.

Even if it meant people dying and wealth being destroyed, the battles of the top-class superpower users drove ordinary people, as well as other superpower users, crazy.

Especially if it was a golden armored knight they were seeing for the first time.

Especially if it was the S-class villain ‘Goblin’.

Even more so if the Golden Knight was strong enough to easily suppress a rampaging female student.

Even more so if Goblin was showing his ‘second form’, which he had never revealed to anyone while holding a staff in each hand!

[Snow White! Maintain the scene! Try your best to prevent the students from getting involved!]

“Understood, principal!”

Baek Seol-hee quickly raised her mana, trying to set up an ice wall to prevent anyone from getting hit in the confrontation between the hero and the villain.

[No, no! What are you doing?! Stop it! An ice wall. Are you in your right mind?!]

“Huh?”

[You’re trying to make sure no one can see the spectacular battle unfolding?! That’s not allowed! This Sejong Island is a ‘place of education’! Even watching such a thing is educational!]

“No, Principal!!”

In the midst of a fight between an unknown knight who might be a hero - someone who hadn’t been registered anywhere till now - and the Goblin, were they just supposed to stand by and watch?

“Don’t speak nonsense!”

[You might not know since you haven’t been on Sejong Island long, but look around! Everyone will be focusing on their fight!]

“……!”

A chill ran down Baek Seol-hee’s spine.

Indeed.

Smartphones were following the battle between the two as videos were recorded.

There was cheering for the Golden Knight, who was blocking Goblin’s attacks with a single greatsword.

There was admiration for the Goblin who, while casually dodging the greatsword in place, seemed to step onto the air above the greatsword.

“Damn, this is crazy….”

Watching the close-quarters combat of the two S-class characters, those who had rushed over to the disturbance were simply captivated.

“Ugh…!”

Baek Seol-hee’s head started to hurt.

What about rescuing people?

What about arresting the villain?

What about retrieving the bodies?

Instead, watching, recording, and appreciating the battle of the suddenly-appeared S-class characters was more important?

“Don’t make me laugh…!”

Baek Seol-hee stepped forward.

No, she tried to step forward.

“Kyahaha!!”

Lilith, who seemed to have recovered in the meantime, spread her wings and flew up to the sky.

With a sense of regret, Baek Seol-hee created an ice ‘drill’ towards Lilith, who was flying high, but the Goblin’s action was faster.

[I’ll catch her! My ultimate move-]

[ONE TWO THREE!!]

Manipulating something on his belt, along with a more robust sound effect–as it was thought to be–different from Goblin’s voice.

[Oh Eui.]

The Goblin held his staves as if to cross it in an X-shape.

[Grand Cross.]

He then released a shining golden cross-shaped light toward the fleeing Lilith.

[That’s how you capture a villain.]
