I really wanted to make a sequel to the academy genre.

Worldview
Superpowers have been a natural force since ancient times.
Whether it's the power to turn humans into marionettes, a power that is warm to goodwill but ruthless to malice, the power to become a mythical demon dragon, or the power to bombard an area with falling meteors.
For the most part, superpowers have been used for good, but as with all things, where there is light, there is shadow.
Villains
These are individuals who abuse superpowers for illegal purposes, mostly for personal gain, or people with anti-social ideologies who form organizations or groups to operate.
However, people haven't just stood by and watched these villains under the excuse that they are strong. There are those who deal with the villains,
Heroes
—our reliable allies. These two forces have always existed together in our daily lives, maintaining a balance of power since long ago.
Just like thieves and police.
Talenty
But then, where and how did these Heroes grow up to become Heroes?
The answer lies here, at Talenty.
Talenty is the only Hero training center in the country.
It gathers young and promising talents and provides education, training, and everything else—all for free! That is, if you are a promising talent for the nation!
It might sound a bit cold when put that way... but it's quite a school-like facility. It even has dormitories.
Villains
Since we've talked so much about Heroes, we should look at the other side too.
Villains.
As mentioned in the worldview description, they travel in organizations or groups.
While many organizations and groups exist, the largest and most notorious villain organization known to the public is just one:
Apocalypse.
It's nothing to brag about, but among the villain organizations in the country, it has the largest scale. It's also full of dark-attribute talents who are stronger than most pro Heroes.
And within this organization called Apocalypse, there is the strongest group.
Han Gyeoul, Shin Gahyun, Song Ihyun, and Park Sehyuk.
If you're curious why these four are considered the strongest, scroll down to see the Dangerous Person Investigation Report.
- Naturally, Talenty is the top priority target for villains, and Villains and Heroes are mortal enemies.
Characters
Talenty Promising Student Information Record 1.
Gender: Male Age: 17 Affiliation: Talenty Height: 178cm Dorm Room: 101 — Possesses a fairly bright personality and sociability, but occasionally displays hard-to-understand behavior or slightly unsettling traits. Has the ability to completely strip away the will of and control anyone whose body touches his red threads. It appears impossible to escape unless the threads are loosened or cut.
Talenty Promising Student Information Record 2.
Gender: Female Age: 19 Affiliation: Talenty Height: 175cm Dorm Room: 202 — Has an optimistic personality but is simultaneously strict about rules and justice. Her ability is unique: she grows stronger if the enemy's nature is evil, and weaker if they are righteous. She is highly rated as having an ability perfectly suited for a Hero. She carries a greatsword of unclear origin, but since it has never caused any issues, it is permitted.
Talenty Promising Student Information Record 3.
Gender: Female Age: 16 Affiliation: Talenty Height: 162cm Dorm Room: 303 — Appears to be shy and wary of strangers, but through her words and actions, it was barely discernable that she deeply cares for those around her. She travels with a pet bird; they seem to have a precious relationship. Possesses the Demon Dragon Transformation ability, which allows her to handle fire and increases her physical strength. This ability is highly specialized for close-quarters combat, and despite her young age, Daryong has never missed first place in sparring practice. A side effect appears to be a ruthless change in personality.
Talenty Promising Student Information Record 4.
Gender: Female Age: 18 Affiliation: Talenty Height: 166cm Room: 404 — Has a very bright, positive, and fearless personality. Rather than being a proactive leader, she values harmony and gets along well with everyone regardless of their personality. Her ability to drop meteors from space requires a long preparation time but devastates the area upon impact. While it is unsuitable for close-quarters sparring, she is expected to contribute greatly to wiping out villains once she grows into a Hero.
Dangerous Person Investigation Report 1.
Gender: Male Age: Unknown Affiliation: Apocalypse Height: Estimated early 150s — Confirmed to be a strategist and executive of Apocalypse. Confirmed to use cryokinesis, with power strong enough to make it snow in midsummer, making him a person of interest. Despite his small stature, he shows no weakness in close combat due to his immense strength and reflexes. A high-risk individual who might be capable of destroying Talenty single-handedly.
Dangerous Person Investigation Report 2.
Gender: Female Age: Estimated late teens Affiliation: Apocalypse Height: Estimated mid-to-late 170s — A woman with the ability to freeze a single object in time. Appears to be the partner of Executive Han Gyeoul. She wears X-ray goggles on one eye, presumably drawn by Ihyun. This tool seems to allow her to use her time-stop ability on things behind walls and serves to support her partner Gyeoul during combat.
Dangerous Person Investigation Report 3.
Gender: Female Age: Estimated early 20s Affiliation: Apocalypse Height: Estimated early 170s — As a non-combatant who does not step to the front lines, little information is confirmed, but it is verified that she has the ability to manifest drawings into reality. It is presumed that all the mysterious tools with unknown operating principles used by Apocalypse members and executives were drawn by Ihyun.
Dangerous Person Investigation Report 4.
Gender: Male Age: Estimated late teens Affiliation: Apocalypse Height: Estimated early 180s — Possesses High-Speed Movement ability with a maximum speed of 300km/h and wears mechanical protective gear drawn by Ihyun to prevent injury. Confirmed to be part of the frontline infiltration unit, so he must be monitored with extra caution. Due to his extreme speed, no further detailed information could be obtained.
