Breaking Up with the Heroine of the Female-Oriented Game - Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Villain Emergence (3)

I can’t breathe.

I can’t breathe properly.

“Grr, ugh, ugh…”

Kang Daehan groaned, his face contorted like a crumpled piece of paper, as he glared menacingly at the white-haired girl.

With his neck firmly gripped, there was nothing Kang Daehan could do.

Struggling pathetically would only fuel Yoo Dahee’s mockery.

T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k in g m t l . or g
‘Damn it. What the hell is with this girl?’

She’s strong.

Incredibly strong, far beyond what her age suggests.

Is there anyone around this age who is as strong as her?

Kang Daehan couldn’t think of anyone who came close.

Even Lee Siwoon, hailed as the greatest genius of Union Academy, probably wouldn’t stand a chance against this wretched girl.

She’s almost at the level of a high-ranker, maybe even beyond.

Under normal circumstances, such a thought would have drawn a scoff from him, but after facing her firsthand, it seemed entirely possible that she was as powerful as a high-ranker.

It was beyond frustrating.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry.”

Yoo Dahee’s slender fingers gradually tightened their grip on Kang Daehan’s neck as she slowly curled her lips into a smile.

She giggled like a mischievous child.

On the surface, it seemed like a sweet smile, but with a face smeared with blood, it was nothing short of terrifying.

“I don’t intend to kill you.”

Yes, that’s right.

It’s not a joke; I really don’t plan to kill you.

Death is too simple for what Yoo Dahee desires. She just wants to see you utterly broken.

“I’ll only ensure you can never dream of becoming a hero again.”

With a sinister grin, Yoo Dahee raised her hand.

Malicious, ominous mana began to concentrate at her fingertips.

It was an enormous amount of mana.

Kang Daehan swallowed hard.

Is this girl planning to destroy his mana core…?

Th i s w a s c o p i ed f r o m k in g m t l. o r g
“So just sleep…”

Suddenly.

Shadowy blades shot up from the ground.

The shadow blades split into five directions, aiming for Yoo Dahee’s neck, arms, legs, shoulders, and torso.

What’s going on? They’re fast!

Yoo Dahee quickly stepped back.

In doing so, she let go of Kang Daehan, but she managed to evade the shadow blades completely. Ah, was this done to save Kang Daehan from the start?

“Prioritize rescuing the injured and the students, hurry.”

“Yes!”

Tilting her head slightly, Yoo Dahee noticed about a dozen heroes nearby.

She hadn’t realized they had approached so closely.

Hmm.

They seem pretty skilled.

And they don’t look like security personnel.

“Ah… I’m alive…”

“Why did you take so long…?”

“Oh, it’s Hero Oh Hangyeong. Thank goodness.”

Ah, Oh Hangyeong.

I remember him as a mid-upper-tier hero who specialized in shadow manipulation.

I heard he’s been working with the Academy’s security team since retiring.

T hi s w as c o pi e d fro m king m tl .o rg
Is he here already? Damn.

Have I dragged this out for too long?

“If you surrender peacefully, we’ll show you some mercy.”

“……”

Yoo Dahee glanced over at the security team members.

There were quite a few of them.

Considering this is a security team that specializes in dealing with major villains, they’re not to be underestimated.

So, what should I do?

It looks like it’ll take some time to deal with all of them individually.

And honestly, I might even get hurt.

– Beep.

Just in time, a message arrived.

It was from Isabelle.

She’s a sensory-type ability user.

She can detect and track the presence of someone she’s seen once.

She had been told to send a message whenever she detected the presence of any targets.

It seems Isabelle has detected someone again.

Yoo Dahee glanced at the message.

And then…

– Area B-1. Northwest direction. Detected the presence of Lee Siwoon, one of the targets.

Th is w as co p ied f r o m k i n g mt l . o rg
“Hmm.”

Lee Siwoon, Lee Siwoon…

As the top student at the Academy, I’d like to mess with him at least once.

But if I waste any more time here, other heroes might swarm in, so Yoo Dahee decided to leave this to the man.

“Mr. Ryan, I’m sorry, but can I leave this to you? I want to check out Lee Siwoon.”

“…Alright.”

The large man who had been sitting quietly until now slowly nodded and sluggishly got to his feet.

His face was hidden under a deeply pulled hood, but his massive muscles and towering frame—one or two heads taller than the average adult male—naturally exuded an intimidating aura.

His bulging muscles twitched as if alive, reminding one of a macho bodybuilder.

“Well then, Mr. Ryan. I’ll head out now. See you later.”

“Where do you think you’re— Ugh?!”

Oh Hangyeong quickly extended his shadow toward Yoo Dahee as she prepared to leave, but a massive fist suddenly smashed the shadow.

What the—? He did that with just his bare hands?

All he did was swing his fist, yet with an ear-piercing sound, the shadow shattered like clay.

A fierce gust of wind blew, sending leaves and dust swirling in the air. It was an immense display of strength.

“What… what is that?”

“How strong is he…?”

“Is he an enhancement-type ability user?”

“If he’s that strong, he might be at least mid-tier.”

The security team members murmured in shock.

Most of the villains who had invaded, except for the white-haired girl, were third-rate at best, but this guy didn’t seem to be one of them.

‘…Ah. Ryan, he said his name was Ryan, didn’t he? Then could it be…?’

Oh Hangyeong swallowed nervously and muttered unconsciously.

“…The Crusher, Ryan Jones?”

“…”

The large man said nothing, simply raising his right arm.

He clenched his fist, but the overwhelming pressure he exuded was unmistakable.

At the mention of Ryan Jones, a few of the security team members unconsciously took a few steps back.

‘Is he really that Crusher?’

A villain who was active a few years ago.

A monster who tore apart more than a dozen mid-tier heroes with his bare hands.
T h is w a s copi e d fr o m ki n g mtl .o r g

T h i s wa s co p i e d f r o m k i n gmt l . o r g
As an enhancement-type ability user, his strength, durability, and recovery abilities were so outstanding that conventional physical attacks were almost useless against him.

He was ridiculously strong, tough, and had high recovery abilities.

It was a simple ability, but it made him incredibly powerful.

High-rankers had to team up to capture him.

I heard that about a year ago, the vehicle transporting him was attacked, and he was freed. But I never imagined he would storm Union Academy.

The Crusher probably doesn’t hold any grudges against Union, so why would he do this?

“Team 2, take the students and the injured and retreat. Team 1 and I will buy some time.”

Th i s w a s c opi e d f r o m ki n g m t l . org
“…Yes!”

“Stay alert. That big guy might really be the Crusher.”

“……”

We don’t know what he’s thinking, attacking Union with a group of third-rate villains, but one thing is certain—this is no ordinary situation.

Thi s wa s c o p i e d fr o m ki n g m tl. o r g
Union Academy is the cradle of South Korea’s heroes.

If the news that this place has been attacked by villains spreads through the media, the reaction will be explosive.

Especially if there are any casualties…

‘There better not be any more villains of that level lurking around.’

No matter how many third-rate villains there are, they wouldn’t pose much of a threat to the students. But if there are more villains of the caliber of the white-haired girl and the Crusher, the lives of the students are at risk.

That’s because they are not villains that the students can resist.

“Heh, hehe… Just because you were born to the right parents…”

“……”

“Raised in a greenhouse with all the benefits… but you think you’re something, huh?”

“…Shut up and answer the question.”

We had already taken down the remaining villains and bound Kim Hwaseung tightly with wire, interrogating him.

Lee Siwoon opened his mouth.

“How many villains have infiltrated the test site, and what is their purpose?”

“Heh, hehe. Who knows? I’m not really sure myself.”

“What?”

“I never really paid attention to that sort of thing.”

Lee Siwoon frowned slightly.

“I don’t know the exact number, but from what I saw, it seemed like there were more than a hundred.”

“…That many villains attacking in an organized manner? What could their goal be?”

“As for me, I just wanted to burn you hero wannabes. But as for the others, who knows.”

“……”

Th is wa s c o pi e d f rom k i ng mtl . o r g
Lee Siwoon’s expression grew colder.

“Kukuku. Kid, you’d better run away from here quickly. There’s a scary villain targeting you.”

“……”

“If you get cocky just because you took down a third-rate villain like me, you’re going to get in serious trouble, kid.”

“…I see.”

“So, kid, if you don’t want to die, you better hurry—”

“Enough. Shut your mouth.”

Finally, Lee Siwoon struck the back of Kim Hwaseung’s neck, knocking him out.

I stared down at the unconscious Kim Hwaseung and pondered.

If Rebellion really is the mastermind behind this incident, their goal is probably to attack Union Academy, instill fear and helplessness in the aspiring heroes, and spread chaos and anxiety in society.

The third-rate villains aren’t a big deal, but there’s no telling how many Rebellion members are involved.

Rebellion members are the main antagonists of the protagonist and his companions, monsters with absurd talents.

‘Damn it. Normally, this kind of event would happen after the protagonist’s group has grown more… Why now…?’

The protagonist’s group is still in the middle of growing, but those guys are already complete villains.

How are we supposed to fight them now?
T h i s wa s copie d fr o m k i n g m tl .o r g

Even during the Training Camp Assault episode, when the protagonist’s group was stronger, they couldn’t handle the Rebellion members.

They’re mostly mid-boss level or higher, so fighting them head-on is practically impossible.

‘Yoo Dahee is definitely participating… If she’s targeting high-profile individuals, then…’

I glanced at Lee Siwoon.

“…Hmm.”

Lee Siwoon.

The top student of Union Academy.

As a member of the SL Group, he would be a prime target for Yoo Dahee.

It was the same in the game.
