BXBX NOVEL Chapter 7: Moral Education
My abilities, telekinesis and teleportation.
Since I have two major-class abilities, as someone with superpowers, I guess I can be considered as a golden spoon.
TN: Spoon class theory in Korea. ‘Golden spoon’ refers to the top 1% of the rich and powerful people in their society.
…Yeah right, I wish I was a golden spoon.
Sadly, my abilities seem to be more of a spoon plated with gold than a pure golden spoon.
There is only one reason. All of my abilities are flawed.
Take teleportation as an example. If I teleport for 1km, the exhaustion comes at once after traveling that distance at full speed.
I teleported for a long-distance yesterday and ended up sleeping all day. So I can see a flaw in it.
Among the villains, there is only one teleporter that has no restrictions. Instead, he only has teleportation ability.
This means he can only appear and then disappear like a ghost, flashing from the east to the west.
On the same principle, my telekinesis has a big flaw.
My ability is like a weak claw from a doll claw machine.
It is impossible for me to hold a person who resists violently, and I can only use it to make things float in the air. Like the floating smartphone right now.
Well, using the power to get something fixed is hard, but to hit someone is so much easier. When you look at the claw machine, it can hardly grab anything but you can still control it to move it side to side quickly.
I guess the only advantage is that I can do something similar to a charged attack*? If you use it at once after gathering strength for a long time, you will still have a deal. I linked this to my teleportation ability and went around breaking the heads of the villains.
*TN: Gathering strength for one fully powered up attack which can cause a large deal of damage. This term can be seen a lot in games.
Of course, whether there are advantages or not, I am sure that my abilities are flawed.
Even so.
Still, you know what?
Here, I will still be able to handle those little punks with just a gun. And it is also a skill.
It is more than enough.
“W-What are you doing?!”
Inside a building filled with the screams of the hostages.
I replied to him, whose voice seemed to be shocked.
“You guys were doing shitty things, so shouldn’t I educate you a little bit?”
As he opened his mouth, I gave him a shot.
The distance between him and me was quite far, but the bullet went unshakable and shot right in the middle of his forehead.
Luckily, it did not seem like a bulletproof mask. I looked at him falling to the ground.
Undisturbed comfort. Ego’s Bullet.
Of course, I was able to change the bullet’s path with my telekinesis in advance. Well, this is also my ‘skill’, right?
Phew, I am glad that I have this poor telekinetic power.
Without it, I could never have shot a person so accurately since I only experienced using guns when I was in the military.
After three of them collapsed, the rest of those bastards started to point their guns at me.
They said they were my followers. Why are they pointing guns at me? These guys are hilarious.
An urgent explosive situation. I took a peek at my smartphone which is still floating in the air and streaming smoothly.
[He just killed three people. Hahahahahahaha]
[I feel so emotional~]
[Wasn’t he on the same side? Why did he kill them?]
[This is rated R. Look at the blood.]
[Fuck, my brother’s there.]
[Isn’t this Egostic bastard a nice guy?]
[One shot, one kill. Gosh]
[Damn it, you brats~~~. Is this a game to you? This is a real situation. Why are laughing about it?,,, The brats these days,]
[What are the heroes doing?]
[KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]
[What’s going to happen to the people thereㅜI’m so worried.]
[Everyone, hang in there!]
[Release Kim Sunwoo. Release Kim Sunwoo. Release Kim Sunwoo. Release Kim Sunwoo. Release Kim Sunwoo. Release Kim Sunwoo. Release Kim Sunwoo. Release Kim Sunwoo.]
[Fuck, are there any managers here? Take down these comments.]
[Ego oppa seems to be a handsome guy even when he covers half of his faceㅠㅠㅠ]
[There are so many crazy brats here. Hahahahaha. This is a real situation, you morons.]
[They are looking for the manager while watching a villain’s terrorism. Sick bastards. Hahaha]
[If the comments here get captured, we’re going to be the national shame;;]
…I only looked at it for a second and it made me feel dizzy.
I turned my head around and grasped the atmosphere of the scene.
The screaming hostages were now covering their ears and shivering.
Yeah, the sound of the gun is pretty scary.
When I had a look around the hostages, they were mainly male and female in their 20s or 30s.
…I don’t even know what kind of building this is. Is it a company?
While I was guessing, a guy pointing a gun at me started yelling. What a jerk!
“Egostic! What have we done wrong? Why are you doing this to us all of a sudden?”
The guy screamed at me. So disgusting.
Frankly, I would never have paid attention to this kind of terrorism if they didn’t sell me out. Because this is a hero’s job. Well, even though I am planning to eliminate all the villains who commit major casualties before.
Anyway, for the sake of an ignorant man who knows nothing of his own fault, I decided to tell him myself. I think I have the nicest personality among the villains.
“Mistake? You didn’t make any mistakes.”
I spun the gun around my hand. How funny as they flinched at my action. These fools, after all they didn’t shoot me because they are my followers. But I feel a little sorry as the trembling hostages glanced at me. Gosh, I am being too weak-hearted, can I even call myself a villain?
“Of course, if you consider your ignorance a mistake then it is a mistake! If you think about it like that, you guys…”
As I spoke up, I made the guns, which I put in my coat in advance, float with my telekinesis.
Their eyes were wide open as they saw the guns rising in the air.
Well, do you think I would only use the gun with my hands?
I have telekinesis ability, you brats.
“Everyone, you committed high treason. So you are going to be executed immediately.”
I fired them in different directions with the floating guns.
The hostages were screaming behind, the followers started to collapse following the bang sound of the guns.
Even though I was just trying to educate them, it does seem a little aggressive…
Well, I guess what they learned today will help them be more careful in the next life.
Using my telekinesis, I hit a bullet that was flying towards me.
No matter how weak my telekinesis is, I still have enough strength to change the direction of a bullet. Well, it is also because I already guessed that they were going to fire at me.
“AH, AAAAH…”
Every one of them collapsed and only one left.
All of his teammates had died, and only one follower was left alive.
The reason for keeping one of them alive is simple.
The association also has to catch one… And don’t you think if they know what happened, they will have something to say at the press conference?
The reason I saved that person’s life among those eight men is…
The only one with long hair. So I think that person is a woman.
What? Why? Is it a crime to adore a woman? I am dignified.
Only those who hate women and homosexuals would be pissed at me. So just ignore me.
I shot and killed everyone, and then slowly walked to her with a smile.
Step. Step.
“Oh, my god. S-S-Save me…”
As I got closer, the woman was trembling.
She didn’t try to shoot me anymore. Perhaps she realized that it would never work even if she did.
Eventually, I got closer to her as she was trembling as if she were almost broken.
“(Sniffle)…”
She was almost about to cry when I stood in front of her. I held her chin with one hand.
And I took off her mask with the other hand.
Her face was revealed as I took off her mask.
“You look pretty.”
I was a little flustered as a pretty girl appeared all of sudden.
She looked up at me with her pretty teary eyes and it stirred up my protective instinct.
I almost turned into a sweet guy and wiped her tears off. But I pulled myself together and talked to her.
“Do you admit your mistake?”
She answered my question in a gentle trembling voice.
“I-I-I was wrong. I was wrong. I’m sorry.”
Wait. What is wrong with her? Why is she acting like I am going to eat her alive?
I could feel her dazzling appearance shaking my composure, but I regained my mind. No, I am all about Stardus. I will not be seduced by another woman!
With a strong heart, I asked a question that would break her mental.
“What did you do?”
“What? What?”
“I asked. What did you do?”
I asked the question again with a grin on my face, she eventually collapsed as her legs seemed to be weakened.
“Oh, Oh. I, we… c-caused this without your permission, Mr. Egostic.”
“And?”
“A-And… Waaaah. I-I’m so sorry. Please save me. Please spare my life.”
The woman suddenly wailed loudly as she was talking.
What’s wrong with her? I haven’t done anything yet.
You are the bad guy, but now you made me look like a bad guy!
…Wait, am I the bad guy?
She broke the silence of the building with her crying.
[Hahaha. He’s such a trash. Hahahahahaha.]
I felt upset when I saw what they posted in the chat window.
I know at some point they would call me that, but I never expected it would be in this situation.
