Chapter 0

There is a suitable death waiting for everyone, corresponding to the path they have walked.

Then, what form of death would be fitting for me?

Though I may not know for certain, it would surely not be a natural one.

If I were to die peacefully in my sleep, it would be as if the justice of this world died along with me.

Standing on the rooftop of a building 600 meters above ground, I pointed to my chest and thought this.

“Here. What you’ve been looking for is inside here.”

Through the device inside my face shield, my voice was distorted in an odd manner.

“There’s a detonator for the bombs installed in this building… cough! A detonation device is in here.”

Though I wanted to spit out blood, I ended up swallowing it due to the face shield.

As the bitter metallic taste of blood lingered heavily in my mouth, I was certain that my time was running out.

I truly didn’t have much left.

Because of this, I had to finish it here today.

I would conclude everything with my own hands and die.

Seeing me like this, Legalmight spoke coldly.

“It seems the time of your death has finally arrived, Doctor Cube.”

“Seems like… that’s… the case.”

I couldn’t speak further because of the incessant coughing.

My hair, turned bright violet from the use of Aura instead of its original color, flew upside down.

My violet glowing eyes and the pretty face that always brought a smile to mine were radiant.

Gazing at the brilliant Min Ha, I struggled to continue speaking.

“The detonation device is myself. The timer has been activated, and no one can stop it. However, there might be a way to prevent it.”

I smiled, though hidden behind the face shield.

“Rip my body apart. And neutralize the Cube.”

“And you, Legalmight, will become S-Ranked.”

“While I… die.”

Embracing with me all the infamy and sins I’ve accumulated until now.

“Come on… cough cough! Hurry… cough…”

Unable to straighten my body due to the coughing, Legalmight slowly approached me.

Each step, infused with power, cracked the rooftop floor, and the violet Aura radiated an energy that made every hair on my body stand on end.

Good. Kill me.

Hurry, Legalmight.

Shatter my ribs and burst my heart, and end it quickly!

Code-name Legalmight.

Violet meteor.

A-Ranked Hero of the Organization.

My precious student, Professor Han.

The child I cherished and loved.

I’m finally dying. By the hands of the very student I raised.

What an ironic fate, isn’t it?

It all began at that wretched Academy.

Or perhaps, even before that.
