45 – Super Hero Brave (4)
I forgot to tell you not to get too immersed in the internet and ended up staying up all night.
After looking at the site full of my stories all day, I couldn’t stand it without voyeurism.
I didn’t become a hero because I wanted this….
From noble mtl dot com
How can I put up with my story?
Since the grid came into my body, I’m not that tired even if I stay up all night, so a day or so would be fine, right?
ㅡ In the end, I think you got hit by a person too.
There are not many people who are detached from gossip or gossip.
ㅡ Still, I didn’t expect it to be this kind of response. Humans are simple.
I don’t want to hear that humans are simple from a monster who moves according to instinct….
To go to work at the Hero office, I washed my body and finished eating.
Yesterday I was taken aback by the sudden increase in interest, but today I need to calm down and respond skillfully.
With that in mind, I left the house.
And that thought ended in less than 10 minutes.
In a modern society where the Internet has developed, the power of information dissemination has been tremendous, and people’s responses have increased exponentially.
Since other people respond, there must be no feeling of being swept away by the atmosphere.
I just did what I had to do, but I didn’t know that people would cheer me on and praise me this much.
I got out of the bus feeling strangely tired with the corners of my mouth twitching and headed for the office. As usual, Hawkeye was the first to go to work.
“Welcome, Mr. Jinwoo. Oh… Looking at your face, did you suffer a bit today?”
“hahahaha, it’s not like I was suffering. I’m thankful that everyone is cheering me on like this, but it’s a bit like that.”
“Ah, come to think of it, the reissuance of the hero badge has been put on hold.”
“Yes?”
Why?
“They said it was reported as a lost item to the police today. I’m going to go get it.”
“Oh, no. That’s what I lost, so I have to go.”
“Brave’s patrol is our top priority. This is the most important rule of this Hero Office. You know?”
“… That, sorry Hawkeye.”
“This is the supporter’s job. Never mind.”
Hawkeye greeted Yuna and told her to start working as a hero right away, and she left the office.
As Hawkeye said, I greeted Yuna and started my hero activities.
My hero activities still don’t change.
If there is an elderly person carrying a heavy load or trying to cross a crosswalk with difficulty, he or she will be able to cross the road on his or her back.
There are occasional requests for support, but even if I accepted and rushed to them, most of the cases had already been resolved, so it was no big deal.
I was in the middle of having lunch after a round of patrol.
A nice person sent me a KakaoTalk message.
He was the one who took the hero ability test with me as an accelerated ability named Choi Eun-seong.
He apparently got a fairly high score and was good at controlling his abilities, so he seemed to say he was working hard.
There was nothing special about the contents of KakaoTalk.
Like the last time I sent him asking if he was okay during the takeover case, he said that he had done a great job this time and that he would work hard.
But this time there was a bit of a limb attached to it.
The office where he works has a senior with the hero name Flash, and he seems to be having a hard time these days.
Oh… It’s too much.
Heroes don’t jump into dangerous things, to be honest.
But since psychic powers are not omnipotent, I think there is a right place.
For example, in the case of a person with acceleration ability, 1 minute 1 second is unsatisfactory in a fire scene.
The body strengthening ability is also helpful, but compared to the accelerating ability, it has to be reduced.
The psychic power of a person with the ability to speak is very strong, but there are a lot of restrictions on its use.
This is because great damage can occur if there is an inflammable material nearby.
That’s why the hurdles to pass the hero ability test are said to be a bit higher than other superpowers.
There are limited places to play, but the ability to melt the carapace of monsters is really excellent, so it is an indispensable skill for hunting monsters.
Aside from these, there are various superpowers and places to be active in various fields.
I think the mimicking monster I dealt with this time is the worst opponent for those with acceleration abilities.
Because even just being brushed by a whip attack that is as fast as the one with the acceleration ability could be life threatening.
I felt a little bit sorry to see him criticize me like this.
If you think a little calmly, everyone can understand.
A hero’s ability is not omnipotent, so there is a right place at the right time.
The reason why it is so overheated is probably because it is difficult for the Internet community to express opposition.
I only felt sorry for myself because I had been through the takeover incident myself.
ㅡ Originally, human beings are emotional like this. There are corners that are worse than monsters.
I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw Grid kicking his tongue, saying that this is why humans shouldn’t be like this.
He’s a pessimist and moody guy, but that makes him feel more human.
Although his body is not human, his way of thinking is closer to that of a cynical human.
But since he was swearing at humans, something was wrong.
I sent Eunseong a plausible KakaoTalk message saying that there is a right place for a hero in the first place.
The hero Flash is said to be a popular hero these days, so even if there are people who curse, there will definitely be people who support it.
I hope you will overcome and work hard.
***
Today, when I finished my patrol and went back to the office, Hawkeye was already back and handed me a hero badge.
I immediately kicked the badge on his right chest.
As expected, this is reassuring.
“Thank you, Hawkeye.”
“No, it is natural. You worked hard today.”
“Yes, then let’s go in first!”
I said goodbye to Hawkeye and Yuna and returned home.
After showering and eating as usual, I was about to lie down on the bed when Grid started fiddling with the badge.
“Why?”
ㅡ Isn’t it strange?
“What?”
ㅡ Why did the badge come back?
“Why did someone bring it to the police station… Hmm.”
As I was talking to Grid, I suddenly felt uncomfortable.
It was two days ago that I lost my badge.
I lost it in a fight with a mimicking monster, and I looked for clues at night thinking that the corpse of the mimicking monster was suspicious.
At that time, there were no badges, so it means that someone picked them up.
It was two days ago that I fought the monster.
The time we fought was roughly between 5 and 6 in the evening, and it was still bright as summer was fast approaching.
The hero’s personal information is written on the back of the badge.
That means that if you bring it to the police station, it will go back to the owner.
But one day passed, and the next day, the police station called me with a lost item report.
The incident in which I fought the monster spread everywhere, starting with the 9 o’clock news.
The main culprit who caused confusion in Korean society these days, the main body of a mimicking monster.
There’s no way I haven’t seen the scene where such an existence is exterminated.
ㅡ Psychometric.
Grid brought a small nuke and held it out to me.
“Yes.”
I held the nucleus with my left hand and the badge with my right hand and used psychometry.
The surroundings turned black, and soon the video began to appear.
ㅡ I think you can use psychometry.
ㅡ Because the words you shouted while holding on to ‘that’ student were so vivid.
ㅡ Looking at your badge is quite interesting.
ㅡ I would wear it every day, but I couldn’t read most of the information with psychometry.
ㅡ Do you have a superpower that blocks psychometry?
ㅡ Interesting. It’s almost as if this being of Earth has prepared you for new dangers.
ㅡ Hunting monsters is always a hero’s job.
ㅡ You are such a fun person.
ㅡ I never thought a classic hero like you would appear in this day and age.
ㅡ So, I’m really looking forward to it.
ㅡ Even though you suffered for a long time after the ‘that’ student incident, you, who have not changed yet, are broken.
ㅡ I hope you can show me how to resent people, hate them, and lose my temper because I can’t overcome my anger.
ㅡ Please take good care of me from now on, Brave.
At the end of the video, I felt a little dizzy, then my vision returned.
I absentmindedly fiddled with the badge in my hand.
What the hell is this….
ㅡ You are in the dark.
“Is this him?”
– Yes.
There was a sense of weight in his profound voice, and his words were polite.
However, the malice contained within them was more vicious and deadly than unfiltered comments on the Internet.
The ability to manipulate or create monsters, including psychometry, words and actions that repeatedly emphasized the argument of being “That” Student.
That’s it.
The person who gave In-soo the psychic powers he said.
At first I couldn’t tell if it was good or evil, but now I know.
He is malice itself.
Maybe he was a person who had a considerable influence in this era of monsters and heroes.
Or he’s the dark side of everything.
Unusual mutant monsters that have started appearing lately.
The most unusual monster is, of course, Grid, but the next one is a monster that mimics a human.
So far, there is no news that this type of monster has been found in other countries.
This is the story of a monster that first appeared in Korea.
If you think about it, Korea was the first monster to appear in the world.
ㅡ It might have something to do with that guy.
Maybe.
I carefully wiped the badge with a nearby wet tissue.
This is my dream decision that I had in my heart just because I was cool.
A monster named Grid appeared to me as I was about to choose reality between reality and ideals.
So I reached the dream that I thought I would never reach, and became a hero who is called a rookie with such high expectations.
“Hey.”
ㅡ What happened?
“You know what you said yesterday.”
ㅡ I don’t remember.
You pout again.
“Inevitability, inevitability.”
ㅡ ….
“I don’t know if that’s what you said.”
The shadow of an unknown evil hides in this society.
A being with the power to manipulate or create monsters, grant supernatural powers to people without supernatural powers, or forcibly awaken them.
Something like that is targeting me.
—- As expected, this is inevitable.
“Yes, it may be inevitable.”
Grid learned psychic powers while absorbing the powers of people suffering from psychic syndrome.
He said he could use all the psychic powers of those with psychic powers if he had the nuclear power.
If you put your mind to it, you can use various psychic powers in the right place according to the situation.
If you have this power, wouldn’t it be possible to fight the unknown man in the video?
I thought it was inevitable that I was prepared to fight this man.
ㅡ Evil punishes even more evil beings. It always burns like this.
Grid started to laugh with a gurgling sound.
It wasn’t a very funny situation, but I was strangely sympathetic.
Because it is to punish the evil that is presumed to create monsters with the monster’s power.
Since the man in the video declared war, you don’t know what will happen.
I think I should start training harder from now on.
I’ll have to practice using my psychic ability to stop deterioration more effectively and longer while fighting.
ㅡ You must be busy from now on. Cheer up, Brave.
Did you decide to call it that too?
