The Trash Wants to Live

Chapter 4

Gifted people? Is it the Villain Alliance? 

If guilds are on the side of good, then the Villain Alliance is on the side of evil.

They were all both criminals and gifted people.

Wait, it's not yet time for the Villain Alliance to exist.

I remember them appearing in the middle and latter half of the original story 

Don't tell me, it's not the Villain Alliance? Or did they exist before their appearance in the narrative?

Everything I knew was from the original story, and it all pertained to the future.

In addition, there was no way to know what had not been written out.

The countdown didn't stop while I was thinking. I only had 10 seconds left. I rushed to Jung Yi Joon.

"Its an attack!"

"An attack?"

When I grabbed Jung Yi Joon's arm and shouted, he looked at me with a blank expression. After a moment, he realized the meaning of my words, pulling me into his arms.

As soon as the countdown was over, several motorcycles with loud engines grazed the car.

An attendant, who was driving away from them, must have lost their composure. The attendant hit the brakes in a hurry, leading the car to slip across the road, all the while making a squeaky noise.

"Hey! Drive safely!"

"No, earlier

"You, stay still!"

Jung Yi Joon, who still had me in his embrace, kicked the front seat in anger. I wanted to check something, so I tried to get out of his grasp. Unfortunately, Jung Yi Joon held me tightly and wouldn't let go. On the contrary, he spat out the words, "stay still".

I'm sure earlier'

Didnt one of the guys passing by put something on the right side of the car?

Bang!

As I finished the thought, the car flipped over with a deafening noise.

"Argh!"

The side of the car exploded in a loud bang. I felt the hot heat for a moment before tumbling around inside the car while being held in Jung Yi Joon's arms.

My whole body was trembling at the first bombing. The only thing I could hold on to was him, so I hugged him tightly. I crouched down with my eyes closed because I was too afraid of opening them. He continued to hug me tightly while my body trembled.

"Hey, are you okay? Why are you shaking so much?"

"Ha ugh"

"Hey, wake up!"

I opened my eyes enough to form two slits when he touched my face before being met with Jung Yi Joon's embarrassed expression.

This bombing was not such a big deal, Ki Yoon Jae had been attacked many times. So, it must be strange to see him so afraid. 

But I'm not Ki Yoon Jae.'

I had no choice but to be afraid. I've never been mugged, let alone attacked.

"You, are you okay?"

Contrasting his fierce voice, his eyes were full of worry and concern.  

I came to my senses and looked around; there was a light red barrier around me and Jung Yi Joon. It was a shield created by his ability.

The system messages appeared again in the corner of my eye. I was relieved to have survived in the arms of Jung Yi Joon within the overturned car.

[It's too early to be relieved. The attackers haven't given up yet!]

"What?"

Crash!

As soon as I saw the system messages, someone came up to the car. The entire vehicle was made of bulletproof material. However, the glass on the door was barely in shape after the explosion.

The attacker stabbed a blade into the glass. The sharp knife went through the horribly cracked window, piercing the car and moving towards me.

As Jung Yi Joon, who was holding me, raised his hand slightly toward the blade aimed at me, a dense shield formed behind my back.

The attacker's blade pierced the window and stabbed Jung Yi Joon's shield a few more times. However, he couldn't penetrate Jung Yi Joon's shield and soon stopped.

Did the attacker give up?'

I thought he had, but the blade began to emit a dim light. The light grew stronger, and soon the blade was cloaked in white.

Shatter! 

"What!?"

The blade that pierced through in an instant, breaking through the shield that Jung Yi Joon had put up. Jung Yi Joon was embarrassed, but once again formed the shield. Maybe if he was a little late, the blade would have pierced my body. I was able to escape death by a close margin.

What's this'

It was the first time I felt the sensation of impending death, whether it be before or after the possession. Was I that close to dying?

So far, my life has been peaceful and smooth. I couldn't even imagine being attacked and killed in broad daylight like this.

So, I thought Ki Yoon Jae's life would be the same.

Its because the book didn't show this in detail.

If Ki Yoon Jae wanted to attack someone, he demanded it, but there was no scene of him ever being attacked. He was a threat to the protagonist and the protagonist only.

With how he was described in the original story, I thought he was a spoiled brat due to the combination of a peaceful, uneventful life, a lot of money, a handsome face, power, and just being born with a naturally bad personality.

But is this the first attack?

If this is the first time, it could happen again and again. I was devastated from this one time

But what about Ki Yoon Jae?

"Ah ahhh!

"Hey, get a hold of yourself!" 

Jung Yi Joon, who saw me screaming and trembling in panic, shook my body, bewildered. 

Had he always endured this kind of thing? As a result of enduring like this, you die of betrayal? 

This was absurd. Would you not know if you died by the protagonist, were the things you did worthy of being betrayed and dying? My mind was getting blurry. 

"Hey!" 

My mind flashed at the yelling that hit my eardrum. After I came to my senses, I noticed that I had switched places with Jung Yi Joon. He still held me in his arms and moved me behind him so that the attackers and I could be further apart. 

"Get a hold of yourself, you bastard! You kept on acting strong, but, at times like this, you can't get your act together!"

"Huh? Uh." 

Behind Jung Yi Joon's back, there was an attacker wielding a sword. Continuing to come to my senses, Jung Yi Joon seemed relieved despite the situation. 

How long can I last? 

Jung Yi Joon's ability would not be able to hold out against this force forever. Not only Jung Yi Joon but also all other gifted people were like that. The strong light gradually faded on the attacker's blade, but the shield laid by Jung Yi Joon also began to falter, little by little. The moment one side gets tired, the victory or defeat of their sides would be decided. 

"Argh!" 

While Jung Yi Joon's expression was growing more strained, the attacker suddenly disappeared. Looking through the back window, I saw something huge coming over the attacker and weighing him down. 

The attacker was under a huge wolf. The sword fell with a clatter against the asphalt and lay at the feet of a massive wolf, it seemed as though the attacker had missed.

After confirming that the outside was safe, Jung Yi Joon stood up, opened the door, and pulled me up from the vehicle. 

"Be careful." 

A piece of glass was trampled under my feet. I got up and looked around, and before I knew it, the surrounding area was almost organized. 

The attendants were people who had the means to protect themselves by learning self-defense techniques, but because they were ordinary, they could not defeat the attackers with special abilities. In addition, it seemed that many people were injured and killed because the attackers used not only abilities but also bombs. 

But it was then. 

[Congratulations!]

[Tutorial 2 clear!] 

The system blew a fanfare without notice, informing me that the tutorial was over. However, the words Tutorial' had not disappeared from the corner of my eye. 

I ignored it as I came out of the fallen car, the huge wolf approached me who handed over the attacker he had been sitting on. 

After rubbing himself for a moment against my flinching body, the wolf became smaller and turned into a familiar figure. 

"Hyung." 

It was Ha Hyun Seo, who changed from wolf to human, carefully grabbed my sleeve and shook it. 

"Hyung, are you hurt anywhere?"

Ha Hyun Seo looked up at me with a face full of worries and anxiety. On that young-looking face, there was no sign of the wolf that had just attacked another. 

This is a polymorph.' 

Ha Hyun Seo's ability was transformation. He could not change into everything, only having the form of the beast or the signified form of the beast. 

Even though he was only a child who could barely reach my chest, he could have turned into a huge beast many times with the size of his body, or a beast smaller than his fist. 

Come to think of it, it's thanks to this little kid that I am alive. 

Of course, Jung Yi Joon's help had been a greater help, but Ha Hyun Seo's intervention got us through a dangerous moment. I said sincerely,

"Thanks."

"Yes?"

"Thank you for saving me." 

Ha Hyun Seo's cheeks were reddened by my thanks. Unlike Ha Hyun Seo, who looked shy and smiled, Jung Yi Joon breathed in and spat out as if he was surprised. 

"Huh? Really I can't believe it!"

""

"What? Thank you for saving me? Fuck?" 

It was Jung Yi Joon who sarcastically imitated me. I ignored it because I didn't know what to do, but it was hard because he kept spitting out abusive language as if I should listen to it. 

Fortunately, though, there was someone who rescued me from that hell. 

"Ki Yoon Jae! Are you okay?" 

Ki Hyun Joo, who came after healing the wounded, turned around, looked at me and found that there were no scratches, making her relieved. So I asked her. 

"How many people are dead?"

"That's, why?"

How many people were injured?

"Five people died. There were about eight people injured." 

There were 26 people here, including me and the gifted people. There were only 20 attendants, and more than half of them were either dead or injured. 

In particular, two people in the same car as me were killed instantly in the explosion. I could have been in the same position, but I lived thanks to Jung Yi Joon. 

Once again, when I realized that death was just around the corner, I lost my breath.

In the midst of a complete stupor, I saw Ki Hyun Joo's surprised face and the buzzing sound in my ears grew louder. 

In a blink of an eye, Ki Hyun Joo's face disappeared and dark gray asphalt came into view. I closed my eyes when I saw the asphalt still approaching. 

And then everything went dark.

T/N: Ohh my poor baby Ki Yoon Jae, he must be shocked because he never even get attacked before lol.

Anyway, thanks for waiting and happy reading! ~
