The Max Level Hero Has Returned!-Chapter 1255

People said alcohol could make strangers into close friends overnight. That seemed to be true for the freshmen in the Awakening Department.

At first, everyone was a little shy and awkward. Yet after a few rounds of drinks, the barriers began to fall. Sure, little cliques had naturally formed, but it wasn’t the kind of rigid division where people avoided others.

In that atmosphere, Super Ribbon unexpectedly became a huge favorite.

For the guys, she was beautiful and had a nice personality, so it was easy to like her. For the girls, curiosity played a huge part.

What really made her stand out, more than her looks or background, was her modesty. Most people had only ever heard about rich heirs and heiresses through TV or tabloids. Even in those media, they were usually painted as spoiled, entitled brats.

So, when they actually met someone like Super Ribbon, who turned out to be incredibly normal and modest, the gap between expectation and reality made her all the more endearing. Thanks to that, even beyond her main group of orientation friends, Super Ribbon was steadily building a wide social network.

Her biggest appeal was that she was naturally warm and down-to-earth. People simply enjoyed being around her.

Of course, most of them had no idea she wasn’t even human.

“Hey, Super Ribbon! Who do you think is the best-looking among the freshmen?” one of them asked.

“Hmm? Oh... I think Jung Yu-Seok sunbae is the most handsome,” she said without a hint of hesitation.

Jung Yoo-Seok, who had been quietly restocking snacks for the group nearby, froze at her words.

“Wooooo!”

The others erupted into teasing sounds at her straightforward answer.

With everyone drinking, group psychology took over. It didn’t take long before things escalated into chaos.

“Date! Date! Date!”

“Wooooo!”

The drunk freshmen were bold and unfiltered. They shouted chants as a crowd, trying to set the two up.

However, Yoo-Seok knew about the entity which was next to Super Ribbon at all times. He’d heard it from a fellow freshman just the day before.

Hearing their chant, the blood had drained from his face. “Ahaha. Thanks but no thanks, though I appreciate you all saying that.”

There was a reason that even Kim Dae-Yang, the notorious senior playboy who usually tried to flirt with any and all pretty freshmen, had completely backed off from Super Ribbon.

At first, people thought he was just acting weird. However, after he shared the story of how he’d encountered a monstrous rabbit, more than a few people began to believe it was real.

“Date him? Why?” Super Ribbon suddenly asked, throwing cold water on the whole situation.

“Huh? What do you mean, why not?” asked Yeon So-Ah, a girl who’d gotten pretty close to her. “I mean, if you like someone, don’t you start talking, then date them, that kind of thing? We’re adults now. Shouldn’t we experience that?”

Super Ribbon tilted her head, genuinely confused. “What does liking someone have to do with dating them?”

Everyone around her fell silent, sensing something strange about her. While her logic wasn’t wrong, it felt like her thinking process was a bit off.

“I mean, you’re not wrong... Welp, I’ve got nothing to say to that.”

A few students huddled together quietly in a corner.

“Dude... I think we’ve been thinking about this all wrong.”

“Yeah, same.”

She seemed so normal, so natural. Then again, there were moments when her way of thinking didn’t quite align with human norms.

Of course, whether or not she was different wasn’t really anyone’s business.

It was nonetheless fascinating to witness and analyze the subtle ways she didn’t quite fit.

“Fuhaha! This is tasty!” Super Ribbon tipped back a cocktail and laughed, her face flushed from drinking.

“Even if she’s fundamentally different... Does it even matter?”

“Too bad, Yoo-Seok.”

“Don’t start. Even you guys wouldn't have a chance. Also, don’t let her drink too much. She’ll be suffering from a killer hangover tomorrow if she keeps going like this.”

“Okay, okay.”

Boom!!

Suddenly, something popped from Super Ribbon’s body, and a faint puff of smoke spread out.

“Hmm?”

“What the hell?!”

Everyone jumped up in shock.

However, once the smoke cleared, they were stunned for an entirely different reason.

“Whew! My e-eyes... spinninggg...”

Super Ribbon had vanished. In her place stood two tiny, adorable girls that seemed to be twins.

“Ughh. I feel goood...”

She had split into Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon.

Jung Yoo-Seok sighed and shook his head, seemingly having expected it. “I did hear about it from my cousin, but this is really surprising.”

“Wait? What?”

“They’re sooo cute!!”

Some reacted by saying the twins were cute, while some screamed and were taken aback.

“My cousin’s the owner of the cafe where Super Ribbon used to work part-time, and he told me all about her. Those two are actually still her. The red-haired one’s Red Ribbon, and the blue-haired one is Blue Ribbon.”

“What?! So she’s like... two kids fused together?”

“Okay, not to sound rude or anything, but who the hell names their daughters Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon?”

“Yo! Shut up, dumbass!”

The seniors quickly clamped down on the guy, afraid the rabbit might return.

“I mean... at least he didn't pick something like Red Fish and Blue Fish, equating them to characters in a children's book. Honestly, Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon are kind of cute.”

“But wait... Doesn’t this mean Super Ribbon’s basically a little kid?” one suddenly asked with shock.

“She’s not human, remember? You can’t judge her by human standards.”

Hearing him say such a thing, everyone slowly turned to stare at Kim Dae-Yang. Their eyes held the kind of judgment reserved for creeps who hit on literal children.

“WHAT?! You’ve got to be kidding me! I’m not a pedo, you bastards! If I’d known, I wouldn’t have even looked at her!” He clutched his head and screamed, completely distraught. It seemed he hadn’t fully understood what she was either.

“Hehe. Hello, older sis. Where’s our Daddy?” Drunk and adorable, Red Ribbon tugged on the sleeve of a nearby girl.

“U-Uh... I’m not sure, sweetie. I’m afraid I can’t help you.”

“Waaah. I wanna see Daddy...”

Her whiny, pouty tone made the girl’s face flush pink as she twisted her body and pulled Red Ribbon into a hug. “Aaaah! You’re so cuuute!”

“I can’t breathe!” No matter how Red Ribbon squirmed, her drunken state had made her little arms too weak to escape.

Regardless of gender, her overwhelming cuteness made everyone around smile warmly. Even that was just the beginning. From that moment on, their adorable antics swept through the entire Awakening Department like a storm.

Sure, little kids were usually pretty cute, but those two were absolutely lethal. They darted around, grabbing snacks with their tiny hands, speaking in soft, lisping voices that melted the hearts of everyone they spoke to.

“I totally get why the Saint of Tionis is called a dotting father now.”

“Honestly, if I had daughters like them, I’d be grinning like an idiot every day.”

“God... Normally, kids that age are nightmares, you know? Like so bad you’d want to shank them...”

Some even recoiled at the realization.

“Oh, right! I remember, in a developmental psychology class, the professor saying kids were ‘hateful at three and shankable at seven’ or something.”

“For real! When my nephew hit seven, he turned into a smug little brat. He tried to outsmart me at every turn, and I almost lost my mind.”

The two girls became the most beloved stars of the Awakening Department. They sang, showed off their charm, and inhaled snacks endlessly.

Students from every year, not just freshmen, were lining up to feed them snacks and pet their heads. No one could figure out how their tiny bodies were capable of taking in so many cookies.

They didn’t stop there, either. The two continued to have a blast among the drunk students and festive mood, and pushed things even further since they were under the influence, doing things even more lethally adorable.

“Hehe. Red Ribbon’s really good at dancing!”

“Blue Ribbon can dance too!”

“Oh yeah? Is that so?”

Everyone laughed with the warm affection of doting parents.

“Wanna show us, then?”

The girls glanced at each other shyly. It was the classic kid move, clearly wanting to show off, but pretending to hesitate so someone would coax them.

One upperclassman chuckled and took one for the team. “Our little ladies, how about showing us your dance?”

“Hehe! Okay!”

They skipped toward the center of the group and exchanged a look. Without a word, they both nodded in perfect sync.

Someone in the back whispered dramatically, imitating their tone, “You ready, Blue? Of course, Red.”

Laughter broke out at the unexpected improv, but it was quickly silenced once the girls struck a pose. They put their hands on their hips and bounced their knees to the rhythm.

“Wiggle! Wiggle!” Their bright, bird-like voices rang out as they danced in sync, moving with surprisingly coordinated steps.

The Awakening Department fell into a frenzy, clapping and cheering like they were at a K-pop concert.

The two continued, glowing in the limelight, and danced with even more energy. However, their joy didn’t last forever.

After running around and soaking in affection for what felt like hours, the two girls were completely drained, leaning into each other and drifting off to sleep.

“Shhh! They’re asleep.”

“Oh my god, they’re too cute.”

“Should we take a picture and show them tomorrow?”

“Oh please, shut up. Someone come help take care of them.”

Quickly assessing the situation, one upperclassman gently scooped up Blue Ribbon and nodded to another student.

A freshman, who had been watching Red Ribbon’s sleeping face with a blissful smile, stood up quietly. “Ah, I’ll carry her.”

Carefully lifting the dozing Red Ribbon into his arms, the two students quietly carried them off toward the dorms.

A moment of silence followed. The freshmen stood still for a bit, taken out by what they’d just witnessed, before they eventually began chatting again.

Most of the conversation now centered around Super Ribbon and the way she had suddenly split into two tiny girls.

Meanwhile, the upperclassmen turned, almost as one, toward Kim Dae-Yang.

“Wow, Dae-Yang. I knew you were trash, but this? This is a new low.”

“W-What in the?! FUCK OFF, YOU PSYCHOS!!! SERIOUSLY, IT’S NOT LIKE THAT!!”

“Seriously, bro? You were trying to hit on a literal kid? Shakin’ my damn head.”

“I SAID IT’S NOT LIKE THAT, DAMN IT! I’m not a pdf file! I just saw a pretty freshman, that’s all!! How the hell was I supposed to know she’d turn into that?!” He wailed and collapsed to the ground.

One of the upperclassmen, who had been quietly observing, finally muttered under his breath, “Hey... weren’t we giving her drinks because we thought she was a legal adult? Now that I look at it... aren’t those two, like, barely even five years old?”

Sure, Super Ribbon herself had insisted she was fine and drank willingly. However, watching those two tiny girls staggering around, clearly drunk, left a bitter taste in everyone’s mouth.

Just then, Kim Dae-Yang, who had been rolling around on the ground and clutching his head in despair, suddenly sprang to his feet. “Hey! All of you! Listen up! Freshmen too!! Focus!”

He shouted at the top of his lungs, “From now on, nobody gives her alcohol. Ever!!!”

“Yeah, no. I’d feel way too guilty offering her drinks again.”

“Even if she shows up to another drinking party, it’s juice only. Got it?”

Their department gained a new rule by unanimous vote, officially banning Super Ribbon from drinking.

While the students all shared that resolution, somewhere in the shadows, a snow-white, musclebound rabbit was silently at work.

It had recorded every second of Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon bouncing their knees and singing their cheerful dance.
