052. An Unimaginable Identity
Immediately after the brainwashing work of the kidnapped heroes was roughly completed, I fell into extreme skepticism.
I gained hypnotism ability and was so happy that I went crazy and did bad things without realizing it.
If the client was watching, it wouldn’t be surprising if he descended to the ground and fought me right away.
Reflecting deeply on being excited by the atmosphere, I decided to focus on the request again.
“Anyway, when a colleague is in crisis, they come to help regardless of their power. Isn’t it surprising that they get along so well?”
“I see. According to the request the master received, it was said that they were in a state of frustration because they could not eat each other.”
There was something lacking to see that the Public Enemy effect was already in effect.
He reacted to his colleague’s crisis, but there was no sign of actually trying to fight together.
In the tag duel with the Quick and Lightning brothers, each played individually and won easily.
In the case of tag duels, cooperative play between both sides is important.
“Couldn’t the division between heroes have been created artificially rather than naturally?”
“Are you talking about third party intervention?”

“Yes. No matter how I think about it, it’s strange that all the bright heroes and dark heroes are in conflict. “If we’re going to be at odds, we have to treat each other like enemies, but that’s not true.”
“It definitely feels strangely different.”
“So, I think it would be a good idea to identify those who are close to the heroes.”
“Then it is divided exactly in half.”
Hero Association and Villain.
If there were people who could easily approach heroes, these two were the only ones.
It could be the act of a vicious citizen, but considering the possibility, it would be okay to rule it out right now.
If there is no valid cause even after investigating the association and the villain, it is okay to keep it in mind at that time.
“The question now is how to investigate… ….”
“Gold, I will investigate the villain. “First of all, I was also a person in that category until yesterday.”
“If you do that, I will be grateful.”
“How about the Hero Association use heroes who have succeeded as trainers?”
“How?”
“If many heroes write letters of recommendation saying that you are a trustworthy and capable person, the association will definitely recruit you. “If there are one or two people, you may be rejected, but if there are more than that, you will have to accept it reluctantly.”
“Wouldn’t that make you suspicious for no reason?”
“It’s okay. Of course you’ll have suspicions, but you won’t be able to dig deep. “If we were even investigated, the heroes we trusted and recommended would criticize us, which would naturally lead to a decline in the association’s standing.”
“Then, I should ask people to write letters of recommendation mainly for heroes who have been active for as long as possible and are trusted by people.”
“It would be better to do that.”
Deep Hypno investigates the villain side and I investigate the association side to find the cause of the division.
The policy has been decided.
All that remains is to put it into action.
“Now that I think about it, what do you plan on doing, Finesse?”
“You mean me? I…. hehehehe, it’s a secret!”
With a meaningful smile on his face, Finesse begins to laugh evilly.
I wanted to ask him what he was planning to do, but I was too scared to dig deeper.
If you look into the abyss, the abyss will also see you.
For now, I decided to move on, believing it wouldn’t be a big deal.
***
The Hero Association headquarters has been noisy since morning.
The association was in charge of all difficult tasks, starting with reporting on the appearance of villains, identifying villain trends, and managing and executing heroes.
The number of heroes was over 150, so the association was busy every day.
In the meantime, a villain of all time appeared not long ago, and the people in the association who had to pay attention to that villain were in dire straits.
And interns who had just joined the association were no exception.
“Se-yoon, please copy the data here.”
“Yes.”
“Mr. Se-yoon? “Did you fill the bath room with snacks?”
“I filled it up earlier.”
“Mr. Se-yoon! “I told you earlier that I had run out of stapler iron and asked you to replace it!”
“I’m sorry. “I’ll fill it up soon!”
Even though I was a new recruit today, the people at the association were merciless.
Wasn’t it normal to start with the handover step by step and teach them step by step?
But the Hero Association confronted me directly and treated me like an actor.
If I had known this would happen, I would not have joined the association, but for some reason I began to feel regret.
“Mr. Se-yoon! “Is it still far?”
“I’m leaving now!”
But I had to move quickly without even having time to catch my breath.
Should I submit my resignation letter after work today?
Honestly, I think there might be a way to find out without having to infiltrate.
As I was working and thinking about this thousands of times, lunch time arrived.
Luckily, the Hero Association wasn’t vicious enough to make us work until lunchtime.
I was so weak that I barely managed to get a seat in the cafeteria with shaky legs.
“Ugh, I’m dying….”
I’m dying to know why I’m asking new employees to do so much work.
Why isn’t work in this world decided through dueling?
While lamenting inwardly, I struggled to pick up my chopsticks and chew my rice.
‘It feels lonely, perhaps because I’ve been alone for the first time in a long time.’
No one spoke to me due to the rumor that I was hired by parachute at the wrong time.
Except for me, everyone in the restaurant was eating and chatting in their own groups.
There’s nothing I can do about it because the rumor isn’t really wrong, but I felt quite lonely because I didn’t even have Finesse, who was always by my side.
Before I came to this world, I thought I would be okay because I lived alone, but it seems that wasn’t the case.
“Whoa…” ….”
By the way, I think the reason the association employees are only picking on me is because of the parachute rumors.
If I remember back, all the other interns except me were working comfortably.
Looking back, I found it really shameful.
Can citizens be reassured that internal harassment is occurring in a government agency that should prioritize the safety of citizens?
‘Only when those rotten parts are cut out can citizens feel at ease.’
I put down my chopsticks, opened the menu, and prepared the deck.
Even association employees can do duels, right?
The corners of my mouth went up at the thought of openly insulting me.
At that time, I wondered how I could keep them from messing with me.
Conversation flowed in from the men at the table on the right.
“Hey! You guys know that? “The hero who was deployed for a long time returned this morning!”
“Has there been such a hero in our association?”
“Have you never heard the rumor? “When the Villain Alliance was formed 12 months ago, he was the hero who appeared like a comet and destroyed the Villain Alliance!”
“Ah, after hearing this, I remember hearing a similar story from my senior. “Are you talking about the legendary hero who was assigned to an S-class hero 4 months after registering as a hero?”
“That’s right. And then he volunteered to be dispatched seven months ago, saying he would protect peace in other regions.”
“You’ve been out for quite a long time.”
“I guess that means we have been protecting peace here and there. “It’s not an achievement I achieved, but it makes me feel proud too?”
“Definitely, the fact that such a hero belongs to our association makes us proud.”
It was quite an interesting story.
I never thought there would be a hero who is treated as a legend in the hero industry.
There wasn’t a specific monster that came to mind, but a rough guess would be ‘Bright Hero, Element’ or ‘Dark Hero, Destroyer Guy’.
They were combined heroes who were considered the best in each hero force.
However, if it had appeared 12 months ago, there was a strong possibility that it was a Destroyer Guy.
Element is a monster that came out a long time ago.
“I want to see you sometime.”
“Even so, after a brief meeting with the president of the association, he said he would come to the restaurant for a meal.”
“So, the people who had already eaten did not leave the restaurant.”
“I want to see your face at least once. “Because he is a person who achieved such famous achievements.”
After hearing that, I wanted to see it too.
Destroyer Guy has an appearance that is attractive enough to tug at the heartstrings of hero lovers.
At a glance, this monster gives the impression of a destroyer and a ruler of the battlefield.
Although the summoning conditions were strict, it was a high-ranking monster with exceptional effects and attack power.
You may get shivers just by making eye contact.
I ate more leisurely than before, full of anticipation.
It was uncomfortable to do something I didn’t normally do, but I tried my best to endure it for about 10 minutes.
Finally, I heard people cheering outside the restaurant.
It looks like the hero I’ve been waiting for all along is coming.
I gathered up the finished dishes, threw them in the dining area, and ran toward the entrance of the restaurant.
To see the face of the hero whom the people of the association praised so much.
I arrived at the entrance with light steps, but unfortunately, there were already a lot of people gathered at the entrance.
All you can see is the flash of a camera continuously firing from afar.
I thought that I would pass by without even seeing their faces, so I squeezed my way through the crowd.
I managed to wriggle out of the small crowd of people and managed to get out.
Now that the camera shutter sound is getting closer, you will most likely be able to see the hero.
Like that, I slowly turned my head and made eye contact with the legendary hero.
“Oh my, I had no idea that someone would boldly come out like this just to see me.”
“Sorry! “I will kick this guy out of the association right now!”
“Don’t do that. In a way, this situation is also a connection, and I want to have a conversation with this person separately.”
“I understand.”
I was at a loss for words as extreme shivers spread throughout my body.
Because a more shocking scene unfolded before me than I expected.
“Nice to meet you. My name is ‘Dark Hero, Revival Phoenix Lady.’ Please take care of me in the future♡”
The identity of the hero who was called a legend was neither Element nor Destroyer Guy, but Finesse.
Why are you here?
