There Is No Salvation for Extras

56 – Nine chapter

A week after the terrorist attack occurred in the center of Seoul, it was a peaceful morning like any other day.

“Did I hear wrong?”

“No matter how much I think about it, I think I heard correctly, right?”

After Han-gyeol finally couldn’t stand the boring time and exploded and declared that he would be discharged from the hospital, the female students who were looking at Han-gyeol with a somewhat satisfied expression came to his hospital room to congratulate him on his discharge, but-

“…I’ll ask you again. What?”

“Uh… I decided to continue performing escort missions.”

While meeting and talking with him, Hyuna and So-ah heard something strange and for a moment they couldn’t believe their own ears.

“…Whose?”

“Who is it? “It’s Yumi.”

“Sister? Since when did you start calling me by that friendly name?”

“When you came this time and asked for a favor, you said I could call you that…?”

“Alone?”

“Maybe I’m alone?”

“Suddenly? “What on earth is going on?”

“So, how did this happen-“

The two female students who were asking him various things gradually became distorted in their expressions, and Yena, Injun, and Jihyeon, who were looking at him, yawned, made eye contact, and then slightly left their seats.

“-That’s it.”

“What happens?!”

“Ugh?!”

Han-gyeol, who was looking at the female students glaring at him with wide-open eyes, scratched the back of his head and smiled at them, but all he got back was their furious reaction of pinching his cheek.

“Is it that good? Huh? “Is it that good?”

“No, why? “What did I do wrong?!”

As the two female students continued to express their dissatisfaction with him, huffing and pinching his arms and cheeks, Hangyeol shouted as if he was being wronged.

To be honest, he would also feel unfair. The hero listened to the client’s request and accepted the job, and he even paid a lot of money and wasn’t involved in anything particularly strange or bad, so why are they reacting like this?

“It’s not that strange of a mission, it’s just an escort mission and-“

Hangyeol waved his arms as if he was being wronged and confessed that he had done nothing wrong, but-

“It doesn’t matter whether you go on a mission or not!”

“…Huh?”

On the contrary, they expressed their frustration as if they were not dissatisfied with it, and Hangyeol froze in embarrassment.

“If you want to keep escorting Jo Yu-mi, you have to keep following her!”

“…Right?”

“Then what are we going to do for the winter festival?!”

“Huh?”

Winter Festival. After hearing those words, Hangyeol looked down at them blankly and made a dumb sound –

“Huh, huh? Uhhhhh?!”

“That’s stupid. “I guess I finally remembered.”

Only then did he remember the school schedule and immediately grabbed her head and screamed, and Yena, who was watching from afar, clicked her tongue and shook her head.

“I never thought I would forget about a big event like a school festival. Anyway, I’ve known him for a long time, but he seems to really like him.”

“Is there any way that a person who was a fan could think of anything else since he was asked to do so? Well, even if I talk like this, it’s meaningless anyway.”

Yena and Injun looked at each other and shrugged, and Jihyun smiled bitterly as she looked at them.

There are a total of three festivals at Justice Academy. From the so-called heat festival held in the summer, sports day held in the fall, and even the snowflake festival held at Christmas.

“Are you guys going along this time too?”

“Since it’s hosted by my father’s company, I have to participate unconditionally… It’s okay if you don’t come.”

“If my girlfriend goes, I should go too. Do you know anything? Will the villains attack again there? “I will protect you.”

Not only Hangyeol, but also these two are said to be attending, and if you listen to the story, even those who are still making a lot of noise seem to be planning to follow in any way – maybe there will be fewer people preparing for this festival.

Jihyun sighed as she thought that, and Yena, who was looking at her, smiled and stroked her head.

“It will be a little… Quiet during this Christmas festival.”

“This guy… Well, he will participate on the day of the festival anyway. Of course, we won’t be there during the preparation period, but this can’t be helped. “We’re in our third year now, so shouldn’t we be working?”

Of course, there is still time until Christmas, but we probably won’t be able to be together during the process of preparing for the festival. Those who follow Yumi on a tour around the country will not be able to attend, at least not on the same day, so it will probably be quieter than last year.

“What are you going to do?”

“I think I’ll probably stay in school.”

“Why? I thought you would follow along this time… It might seem a little strange to say this, but it’s related to Repentance, right?”

Repentance, the only ones who seemed to be aware of Hyunwoo’s existence. That’s why Ji-hyeon has been obsessing over their moves until now, but this time she announced that she won’t pursue them.

Yena looked at her as if she was surprised and asked, but Jihyeon shook her head and opened her mouth.

“I acted alone this time and will be placed on probation for the time being.”

“Ah…”

“I want to go too, but they also said they need me at this festival too. “I’ll just have to stay this time.”

It was undoubtedly an achievement to capture the man who turned out to be her villain-corpse who was blocking her, but her problem was that she acted alone without reporting. When her teachers, who felt that her obsession was dangerous, placed her on probation, they laughed bitterly and the others sighed.

“Then what…”

Everyone didn’t say anything, but they all felt fortunate inside. If she moved alone and chased after them this time, there was no guarantee that she would come back unscathed like she did then.

“This time, we will catch you and get information from you, so please wait here, Ice Princess.”

“Don’t make fun of me… Be careful.”

“Okay, don’t worry. I’ll protect them all… More than that, hey! There!”

When Jihyun responded by puffing out her cheeks while grunting, Yena hugged her once and then walked up to her students who were still fighting and shouted.

“Well, let’s move together, huh? What’s the matter?”

“Why are you saying that, this is still a hospital! “Why are you making so much noise!”

Yena, who started to scold the students while sorting out the situation, and Injun, who looked at them and smiled, crossed her arms behind her head and started to whistle.

Jihyeon looked at them and wiped her face with regret, then looked at the calendar hanging on the wall of the hospital room.

November 30th. A peaceful day, with less than a day left until December.

“We have to move tomorrow, so if you want to come along, apply now!”

“Ugh… Damn it! “I was trying to get some rest-“

The students began to busy themselves for the performance that would take place two days later.

“Are you sure?”

“I said I was sure. “Do you not trust me?”

“That’s not true… But why are you so anxious? Is it because there are a lot of people getting stabbed in the back these days?”

Meanwhile, at that time.

“I’m glad though.”

“It’s really serious.”

“It’s so noisy… It’s hard for us to escape if Jihyun is around. “You have to be pretty strong to deal with it, but if you just freeze everything around you, how can you run away?”

“Isn’t it just because it’s uncomfortable to run into him?”

“You stay quiet.”

Repentance’s villains gathered for Jo Yu-mi’s tour and future events. They were steadily conducting the meeting despite the commotion around them.

“I guess I’ll have to take Zero with me this time.”

“Dismissed.”

“Boss, let’s think about it calmly.”

“It’s like this because I’m thinking calmly.”

They are busy preparing to move, but despite this, they continue to make plans. Hyunwoo was standing among them with his brows furrowed, resting his chin on his head and tapping the desk regularly with his other hand. The others looked at him and began to express their thoughts.

“It’s obvious what that b*tch’s purpose is, right? It’s the fall of the Hero Shield. “If it hadn’t been zero when I fainted this time, he would have fallen right over!”

“Even so, if you take her away, you’ll be in big trouble.”

“Then what if that b*tch brainwashes the boss?”

“Then what if we take Zero and a great evil appears and destroys us?”

Most of the plans have already been completed – no, even if they were plans, there would be nothing special about them.

Anyway, most of the purpose of the evil brigade is known, and in order to stop their plans, all you have to do is simply follow the place where the performance is taking place. So what should be done next was roughly decided, and the discussion was scheduled to end like that –

“Then what are you going to do? “Common sense tells me that if it’s not zero, it’s unlikely that this plan will succeed.”

“Okay…”

The reason they continue to worry now is none other than the question of whether or not to move along with Zero.

If you take Zero with you, it will be a great help in preventing their terrorism. Hyunwoo already knew that fact well. But the reason he is worried like this now is because he encountered none other than the leader of the evil brigade.

“Or isn’t there a way for us to just give up and move on?”

“Actually, that is the most correct thing. No matter how I think about it, it seems like the purpose of this incident is also about us. But-“

“Dismissed.”

“-There’s no way the boss would know that. Ah, then what are you going to do!”

If their goal is not only to lure other heroes, but also to bring them out, etc. Considering these and other conditions, moving the repeatance is actually not a good option.

However, Hyunwoo continued to want to push the plan forward, and he continued to shake his head even when told to increase the probability of success by taking Zero with him.

Then what are we going to do? Sang-hoon glared at him, feeling slightly frustrated, but-

“I’m frustrated too…”

“…Tsk.”

Hyeonwoo is also very frustrated right now. Sang-hoon looked at his expression and immediately sighed and shook his head.

In a situation where I can’t do this or that. What should I do now-

-I will go.

“…Hey.”

-Don’t worry. Because I can protect my own body.

Just when it felt like there was no answer to the meeting, Zero expressed his opinion.

“Are you going to be okay? “No matter how much I think about this plan, there are a lot of risk factors.”

-They said it would be dangerous even without me.

“That’s true, but-“

Hyeonwoo looked at him in surprise, but Zero soon smiled and shook his head.

-It’s okay. Even if their goal is actually me, it’s still better than one of you dying.

Hearing his words full of determination, the others immediately looked at Hyunwoo with a bitter smile –

-Besides, if he appears, I might be the only way to escape?

“…Okay. Then we move together.”

Hyunwoo looked at Zero and sighed, but eventually nodded his head in agreement.

“Then now the number of people has been decided.”

“It’s finally over! “Can I go rest now?”

“Where are we going? “I have to do some moving work.”

“Eek…”

Is this the end of the meeting? Those who thought so got up and started stretching-

“When are you going to leave?”

“Right away, tomorrow.”

Hyunwoo also got up from his seat and left the conference room, handing the paper with the plan written down to the intelligence officer.

“The location is Bucheon. Time will start moving early in the morning-“

“If they move first, we will target that moment and launch an attack. “It’s going to take quite a while.”

“I hate long-term missions. “It would have been nice if I could just take a real vacation.”

“Why can’t you give up yet?”

It’s still a noisy conference room, but today will be the last time here. Hyunwoo smiled bitterly as he looked around the room, then opened the door and went outside.
