The Six Sinners. Known as the "Six Sins."

They are called the worst terrorists, repeatedly causing large-scale crimes and making arrests difficult.

Starting with the strongest, Goliath.

Kim Dalbi, the Goblin. Han Seo-jin, the Necromancer. Moon Chae-yeon, the Technomancer. The gluttonous twin siblings, Hong Gyu and Hong Bin.

Among them, the weakest is Han Seo-jin, and Moon Chae-yeon is the next strongest, but there is a vast gap between them.

Ding.

Eighth floor of the shopping mall.

The bell on the pizza place’s door chimed as I entered, following directions from the communicator.

A conspicuous figure sat by the window.

A woman eating pizza, wearing sunglasses.

Her hair flowed in waves, with a notable sheen.

Two robots stood guard around her.

“Hello.”

The woman saw me, raised her sunglasses to her forehead, and greeted me, revealing the unmistakable face of a villain.

She still held a slice of pizza in her hand.

“Come on, sit down, sit down. Join me. It’s pretty good here!”

One of the Six Sinners.

Moon Chae-yeon, also known as the Technomancer.

The name "Technomancer" was derived from her ability to use both technology and magic. It was a fitting name based on her abilities.

Of course, such nicknames were created to distinguish major criminals. Saying it aloud was cringe-worthy.

I sat across from Moon Chae-yeon and placed the shopping bag next to me. Her gaze lingered on my shopping bag.

“Were you planning to have pork belly and bibim noodles?”

Chae-yeon chuckled.

“I never understand why people like that stuff.”

I had a lot to say, but I decided to engage her in conversation first.

“…What do you like?”

“Me? Pizza or cheeseburgers? I like cheese.”

“You have a greasy palate.”

“Yes, I do.”

As she bit into her pizza, cheese stretched out.

“Oh. Do you know what will happen if you call for backup? Not that you can, though.”

Chae-yeon’s lips curved into a relaxed smile.

Everything generating signals in this mall was under her control.

Even the disciplinary committee’s pager, which I always carried, wasn’t functioning. Chae-yeon was blocking the signals.

But it didn’t matter.

I couldn’t have anticipated this any better.

For now, I decided to stall for time. Chae-yeon looked relaxed, so it seemed manageable.

“You’re staging quite the hostage situation. Very terrorist-like.”

“Thanks for the compliment.”

Chae-yeon had taken the mall hostage.

She could easily destroy a mall like this.

I glared at her silently.

As the conversation lulled, Chae-yeon picked up a piece of broccoli and rolled it around in her mouth, smiling meaningfully at me as if mocking me.

Her skillful tongue movements made me frown.

“You eat disgustingly.”

Chae-yeon swallowed the broccoli piece and grabbed a new slice of pizza.

“Boredom, you know. Ah, I’m already getting tired. You seem like the type to get tired of relationships quickly.”

“You’re no better.”

“Why?”

“Because your fidgeting is annoying.”

“I don’t think that’s a fitting description for someone as classy as me.”

Chae-yeon flicked her voluminous hair and clicked her tongue.

“We’re clearly incompatible.”

She crossed her index fingers in an X.

“It’s not like we’re on a blind date….”

Ignoring her, I picked up a slice of pizza and ate it.

It was quite tasty.

“How is it? Good, right?”

Chae-yeon asked eagerly.

“I’ve had it before, so I know.”

“I was really surprised. I thought I’d been to all the decent pizza places. I thought places in malls were leniently rated because of the high foot traffic. But… it’s surprisingly good!?”

“Good to know you rate it highly.”

I asked while eating pizza.

“But why did a criminal come to me voluntarily?”

“Nothing much, I have business with you. I don’t particularly hold a grudge against the disciplinary committee.”

Chae-yeon licked the pizza seasoning off her fingers.

“Understand that using force was necessary. I have circumstances I can’t explain.”

“Someone wants me, huh.”

“You’re the head of the main academy’s disciplinary committee. Do you have a celebrity complex? I said I have circumstances, and you’re jumping to conclusions.”

“You’ll understand if you become a disciplinary committee president.”

Unexpectedly, becoming president had made a lot of people want me. The problem was that they were all bastards.

“Hmm?”

Chae-yeon mischievously put her cleaned thumb to her lips and smiled slyly.

Thinking of Kim Dalbi, it was easy to figure out why one of the Six Sinners would suddenly come to me.

The principal must have started moving.

This girl must be under the principal’s orders too.

‘What are Moon Chae-yeon’s capabilities? Does she have anyone with her besides the robots?’

If the goal was to capture me, she might have come alone.

Chae-yeon herself was strong enough.

She even had a powerful weapon called “Chimera.” If that joined the battle, it would be tough.

However, if there was a variable, it was that I had grown much stronger than expected…. Regardless, Chae-yeon and Chimera weren’t opponents to be underestimated.

So.

‘I planned to catch her later during an event.’

I had planned to target her when she appeared in the original story.

But with the situation unfolding like this, I couldn’t avoid a fight.

‘Is the principal seriously wary of me?’

I didn’t know the exact reason, but I knew the principal had started to desire me for unhealthy reasons.

If he wanted to face me ordinarily, he could have just summoned me with any excuse.

However, the appearance of one of the Six Sinners meant that Spartoi hadn’t been mobilized, which was somewhat reassuring.

‘From what I heard in the restroom, it seems my ability hasn’t been revealed yet.’

The man I had slammed into the toilet.

If he knew what my unique ability was, he wouldn’t have said I “escaped using some means.”

It seemed they only had information that Ahn Woo-jin, the disciplinary committee president, had awakened a unique ability and defeated Han Seo-jin. They hadn’t figured out what that ability was.

“Hah.”

Suddenly, Chae-yeon let out a deep sigh. She propped her chin on her hand and looked disgusted.

“You’re not answering, just thinking…. Boring. We’re complete opposites.”

“We’re not in a position to get along anyway.”

“Wouldn’t it be better if we did?”

“I doubt it.”

Someone like me, with a normal, sane mindset, could never understand the logic of the Six Sinners. So, I had long given up on understanding Chae-yeon’s values.

Finally, we finished the entire pizza.

“Ah, that was good….”

Chae-yeon smiled contentedly and wiped the pizza seasoning and grease from her lips with a tissue.

Then she took out a small mirror and lipstick, checked her reflection, and applied the lipstick.

“Who’s paying for this, Mr. President? You ate too.”

Chae-yeon finished applying the lipstick and smacked her lips.

“Let’s decide with a game.”

“Sure, sounds fun! How?”

Chae-yeon laughed lightly and put her thumb to her lips.

Click!

I stood up naturally, drew the baton from my belt, and swung it sideways. The iron rod inside sprang out.

The three-section staff made of iron armor, Cheolryong-gon.

I raised Cheolryong-gon. Zzzt! Turquoise electric magic surged along the iron armor.

“The loser pays.”

At my response, Chae-yeon smiled and slid her thumb along her lips. The red lipstick smudged along her mouth.

It meant she wouldn’t care about her lips or appearance.

In other words, she was preparing for battle.

I swung Cheolryong-gon without hesitation.

Crash!!

Moon Chae-yeon’s body broke through the building’s outer wall and floated in the air.

A turtle shell-like protrusion quickly formed on her back, absorbing the impact.

The hooks extending from it wrapped tightly around Ahn Woo-jin’s body.

As a result. Chae-yeon and Woo-jin began to fall together from the high shopping mall, close together.

“Reckless! I like that!”

Chae-yeon laughed as she glared into Woo-jin’s eyes, her voice dissipating in the strong wind.

Szzz! Like a nano-technology device activating, fine particles gathered around Chae-yeon’s eyes, forming a black mechanical eyepatch.

Zzzt!

As the sound of holographic advertising videos glitching echoed, the cityscape underwent a dramatic change.

Traffic lights flashed red, orange, and green randomly, causing vehicles to get tangled and creating traffic chaos.

The letters on electronic billboards broke, and TV screens on buildings displaying advertisements showed static.

Citizens’ smartphones became useless, displaying “out of service” messages.

Security robots and drones detected the abnormality and sounded alarms.

Chaos filled the city.

This occurred immediately after Chae-yeon exited the shopping mall.

Woo-jin swung Cheolryong-gon, enveloped in turquoise lightning.

Whoosh! Crash!

The hooks binding Woo-jin were shattered in an instant.

“Haha!!”

At that moment, Chae-yeon, using her magically enhanced arm strength, grabbed Woo-jin by the collar and hurled him toward the road.

Whirr!! Crash!!

Woo-jin’s body shot through the air and crashed into the middle of the road.

A crater formed, and pieces of broken asphalt scattered in all directions.

Hooonk!

“Hey! Are you okay!?”

A driver honked and shouted at Woo-jin.

Woo-jin spat out the phlegm and dust that had entered his mouth and waved his hand lightly, indicating he was fine.

Whoosh. Woo-jin stood up effortlessly and raised his head.

Chae-yeon had already transformed the turtle shell shield and hooks into a board.

The board floated in the air with flames erupting from the bottom, and Chae-yeon stood on it. It was a flying board.

Chae-yeon squatted down, hugging her knees, and looked down at Woo-jin. Her eyes were hidden by the mechanical eyepatch.

“You’re fine? Pretty tough, huh?”

“Thanks for the compliment.”

Woo-jin returned Chae-yeon’s words and further activated the electric magic circulating within his body.

Woo-jin had already prepared for unexpected encounters with the Six Sinners. His internal motto was, ‘How to survive in Neo Seoul.’

Chae-yeon was no exception.

So today, Woo-jin decided to capture Chae-yeon.
