I Became the Academy’s Kibitz Villain

I was training Yumir to become Gwang Ik Gong.

After teaching Yumir the combat techniques of Gwang Ik Gong, I prepared her for the day she might need to take on that role.

Ideally, it would be best if Gwang Ik Gong himself could step up, but he physically died last year.

The S+ rank, the world’s strongest hero—no, the EX-rank hero Gwang Ik Gong, who the world remembered—perished last year after killing a demon of Pandemonium in a mutual destruction.

And now, I was separately training Yumir in the combat techniques of Gwang Ik Gong.

“Haaa!”

With a shout, Yumir soared high into the sky.

Although the altitude was limited within the barrier, she spread her wings and flew higher, reaching the ceiling of the barrier.

“Here I come!”

At the same time, several orbs shot out from the golden angel wings spread behind her.

Buzz.

The orbs rapidly grew in size, and Yumir extended her hand downward as soon as her magic power reached a certain level.

“Fire!”

Paaaang!

A laser beam shot out from the orb and flew straight toward me.

The golden magic beam flew straight like light, threatening to pierce through my wings and my body.

“Too slow.”

I folded my wings and dropped down.

The golden laser passed through where I was, and I wrapped my folded wings around myself like a cloak as I descended.

Paaang!

I changed direction by striking the ground hard with one wing.

Descending almost to the point where my body touched the ground, I spread my wings and slowly gained altitude like an airplane.

“Gwang Ik Gong is not a mere aerial battery. It’s like a Top Gun.”

“Ugh…!”

“It might not be familiar, but think of yourself as a fighter jet!”

Magic power burst from the wings spread behind me.

Just like a jet increasing speed by expelling flames, I increase my speed by releasing magic power behind me.

“Haaa!”

Yumir raised her hand again.

This time, she released more and larger orbs from her wings, tracking me with her eyes.

“I will definitely shoot you down!”

Pabababang!

The lasers rushed towards me.

Some directly targeted me, while others predicted my flight path and shot accordingly.

[Isn’t that dangerous~?]

The voice ringing in my head was full of mischief, but there was no real tension.

[Need help?]

“No. I’m fine.”

Because I could easily dodge without her help.

Flutter.

I folded my wings and dropped down briefly.

As I twisted my body and unfolded my wings again, a golden laser narrowly grazed my shoulder and cut through the air.

“Damn it…!”

“You know you haven’t hit me even once yet, right?”

“That’s cheating! How can a person fly so freely like that!”

“You, Yumir, who overflows with magic power, shouldn’t be saying that.”

I injected more magic into my wings and flew higher.

The color of the magic trailing behind me was close to jade, but the method was clearly that of Gwang Ik Gong.

“Got you.”

“Ugh…!”

I dove straight toward Yumir from below and grabbed her waist.

“Earth Throw.”

“That’s not a Gwang Ik Gong technique!”

“Correct. It’s just that no one has used it before.”

Then, holding Yumir, I made a big circle and descended.

“Ugh…!”

Yumir released magic power, trying to break free from my grasp.

But the magic power emanating from my entire body overwhelmed her, and she bit her lower lip.

“Tch…!”

I too was restricted.

If we fought as usual, Yumir would surely come up with a solution, but under these limited constraints, she was cornered.

“How does Gwang Ik Gong fight in close combat?”

“…!”

“Yes. It’s too late to respond now.”

Normally, this would end with throwing her to the ground.

“It’s over.”

But I gently landed on the ground, holding Yumir.

“Rest for a bit.”

“Haa, haa, haa.”

Yumir sprawled on the ground.

Although the field was overgrown with weeds, she lay there, breathing heavily.

“Really, how is that possible…?”

“I learned it. From Gwang Ik Gong himself.”

I fold my wings and land on the ground.

The ‘green light’ wings spread behind me were very different in color from the original, but their shape was identical to the iconic ‘golden wings’ of Gwang Ik Gong.

“After Gwang Ik Gong died and was resurrected, he gave me a USB containing his combat techniques. He had already taken out insurance, asking me to replace him.”

“When?”

“Before I entered the academy.”

While staying in a monthly rental room in Busan, I secretly met Gwang Ik Gong while watching a movie with Baek Seol-hee.

At that time, I absorbed all of Gwang Ik Gong’s combat techniques.

“Gwang Ik Gong’s combat style can be divided into four categories: long-range, mid-range, and two types of close-range.”

“Isn’t it just a difference in distance?”

“No, each distance involves different attacks. From there, it branches out into dozens, hundreds of combat techniques. For example….”

I spread my wings and ascended into the sky again.

“One of the long-range attacks feels like this.”

I spread my wings.

The wings, emblematic of Gwang Ik Gong, resembled angel wings.

“Wide-area annihilation type.”

I created orbs from the wings and launched bombardments.

“Gwang Ik Gong Beam, ready to fire.”

Paaaang!

“This part remains unchanged, right?”

“Yes. At this point, just firing it would be the end.”

“But you can add one more thing.”

Massive amounts of magic power gushed out from the light orbs created by the wings.

While the magic power simply flew out from the orbs in the wings, the amount was something an ordinary ability user could never withstand.

“Although not here, in the city, it can be used like this.”

“Huh, a mirror…?”

“Yes.”

Facing the sky, I scattered the mirror shards created by the Goblin Bat.

Simultaneously, I aimed a magic beam at the scattered mirror shards.

“Fire.”

Paaaang!!

As soon as the beam flew towards the mirror, it was reflected off the mirror and flew in different directions.

Zzzzzt!

Green lasers shot out in all directions except where Yumir and I stood, turning the entire field into a mess of magical light.

“Wow…”

“You can do it too.”

“No, I can, but it seems a bit difficult to do it exactly like this.”

Yumir was in awe of my exact replication of Gwang Ik Gong’s technique.

“Teacher, did you get private lessons from Gwang Ik Gong?”

“Of course not. I just watched and learned by stealing glances. Eventually, I made it my own after he taught me the technique.”

“Then, teacher…”

“Look.”

I pointed to my hair.

Among the white strands of hair, a single black streak was showing.

“Right now, I’m backed up by Doul, but without that backup, my magic beam wouldn’t be stronger than a handgun shot.”

“You mean the water stream gets weaker?”

“It’s not exactly that, but you can interpret it similarly. Just like a water tank needs a lot of water for a strong stream.”

Currently, I could shoot strong magic beams by borrowing magic power from elsewhere.

Specifically, I was borrowing magic power from Doul, Hyeon Se-rin.

In the state of ‘union.’

“Haa. How about you become the next Gwang Ik Gong, teacher?”

“No. My magic power is not golden.”

If anything, it was closer to black.

I could manifest the color by borrowing magic power from others, but it’s not always easy.

“I can feed you mana every day, teacher, so you can live with golden magic power-”

Smack.

A sharp sound echoed from the back of Yumir’s head.

“This girl can’t stop talking nonsense.”

It wasn’t me who said that.

Nor did I hit her.

It was another presence that struck her.

“Hey. If you keep acting like that, your sisters will scold you harshly.”

“Ugh, ugh….”

“No matter how much you want to, you shouldn’t say things like that at such important moments. When it’s time to learn seriously, you have to learn seriously, don’t you?”

“That may be true, but.”

Hyeon Se-rin, who emerged from my body, began to discipline Yumir.

“There’s no one else who teaches you this meticulously anywhere else, right? Did anyone at the academy teach you their techniques in such detail? No, right? We take goblin tutoring seriously, so what should we do if you keep saying things like that? Hmm?”

“Ah, ahaha, sorry, sister…!”

“Does your mana pouch have patriotism in it? Should I squeeze it out? Hmm?”

“If, if you’re going to squeeze it, why not let the teacher do it… Eeek?!”

Hyeon Se-rin quickly grabbed Yumir from behind.

In an instant, she seized Yumir’s mana pouch and started shaking it, leaving me at a loss for words.

Hmm.

It was quite impressive.

“Uh, sister…! Le, let’s make an alliance! Anyway, both you and I will lose if we fight the teacher!”

“She’s talking about patriotism again. How can a kid have nothing but patriotism in her head? Is patriotism everything?!”

“It is everything!”

Yumir began to argue back.

“I’m doing this for patriotism, so what’s wrong with having a head full of patriotism! It’s not like I’m being patriotic with someone else, I’m being patriotic with the teacher!”

“Haa. This kid is really hopeless. Manager Do, say something. You’re the one who turned her into a patriotism parrot.”

“Good things are good.”

Honestly.

“Learning Gwang Ik Gong’s combat techniques might be less valuable than one act of patriotism. Who knows… you might come up with new techniques.”

Practicing combat techniques might be less beneficial than patriotism.

“But, I have a hypothesis I want to test.”

“…What is it?”

“Union.”

Until a moment ago, I was united with Hyeon Se-rin.

“It might be possible with Yumir.”

“Of course, the yin-yang union-”

“Not with me.”

But maybe.

“You two.”

What if Yumir and Hyeon Se-rin could unite?
