47 – Hero Suit
Monsters are often compared to natural disasters.
I don’t know who started the metaphor first, but I think it’s a very plausible metaphor.
ㅡ If you have this, you can eat 3,000 bowls of hot soup.
The guy who has never eaten soup.
ㅡ That means, please do it!
Delivery food? Flea….
It seems that 3,000 bowls of hot soup, about 30 million won, will come into my hands.
Hawkeye is serious, so he won’t lie, so he’s probably real.
I felt like I was dumbfounded when I suddenly received a large sum of 30 million won.
Sometimes I’ve heard rumors about a hero who only becomes frantic when catching a monster.
Monsters are more money than villains.
Villains are just criminals who use superpowers, so they don’t make much money.

At most, it’s a level where you get a little more bonus per case.
But monsters are different.
If the monster is successfully hunted, the priority ownership of its core and corpse will pass to the hero.
Hero sells it to a government-affiliated research institute.
Since they are usually large, a subcontractor called the Monster Corpse Disposal Unit is in the middle, and taxes are levied in the name of compensation for damage, but it is still a business that makes a lot of money.
I’ve seen somewhere that the profit earned by accidentally catching a monster is greater than a year’s salary.
But experiencing this myself, it really feels like my head is going blank.
ㅡ Didn’t I tell you not to expect too much because the size of the body is small? Is this a small amount?
No, this is a lot for me.
It’s a small corpse and the core of a C-class monster, but at this price it doesn’t make sense.
Why?
That question was resolved not too long after.
ㅡ Today, according to the announcement of the government-affiliated monster research institute, a new technology that can detect mimicking monsters from the corpses and cores of mimicking monsters….
Anyway, it seems that a new technology has been developed to detect the mimicking monster that has melted into society by using the core and corpse of the mimicking monster I sold.
ㅡ Rather, I feel like I got the price a bit cheap. These despicable people….
No, it doesn’t matter.
ㅡ What a hunk!
Now… It’s over.
The meaning of making an official announcement in the news is that deployment will end nationwide within the next week.
Then no one will be afraid of mimicking monsters anymore, and the bullying that is called monster eradication will disappear.
It is extermination, not restraint.
I felt really fortunate.
ㅡ Was that the point of view….
Then what point of view?
ㅡ No, it’s nothing.
Grid reacted strangely and shut her mouth.
Now that I have 30 million won, I thought they would talk about hero suits.
ㅡ Hero Suit!
Ah, react again?
Now we have come to the level where we can think about hero suits in earnest.
The design of the hero suit is intended to be a combination of Grid’s draft and the author’s advice.
ㅡ You can become a real hero with this. Heh heh heh.
You seem to like it more than me….
Now, the moment to use the monster’s core in earnest is approaching.
I am training every day to keep waves from emanating from the monster’s core.
However, fighting and training are two different things, so you should be more careful.
ㅡ Yes, I need to find a way to strengthen that subtle ability a little more.
How?
ㅡ It’s hard to concentrate, so it’s about giving rhythm.
Rhythm?
ㅡ If you can suppress the wave for about 10 seconds by using ability once, you can last 3 minutes by using ability number 18.
Ah, I see what you mean.
Even if it was the same 3 minutes, what I thought and what Grid suggested were completely different issues.
If you use 3 minutes to maintain your superpower in a life-and-death situation, the flow will break.
There will be problems with body strengthening and hardening, and it will be difficult to move my body.
However, if you can use it by renewing it every 10 seconds, you will have more time even when facing enemies.
Because you can use the ability like blinking for a moment and release it again.
Certainly, this way will be easier than before.
But why are you talking now?
ㅡ After hard training, doing a little easier training will increase the growth rate.
… Now I feel like it will be difficult to beat the grid with logic.
“So I’m going to place an order for a hero suit today.”
“That’s great. Are there fewer injuries now?”
“Maybe?”
“Really… thank god….”
The author felt visibly relieved when he heard that she had an unexpected income and that she would order a hero suit.
Anyway, the sight of me bleeding profusely must have been quite shocking.
“So, how do you place an order?”
“If you belong to the Hero office, you tend to ask the office. Since I consulted with Hawkeye, he said that he would do it himself, so I think it would be comfortable.”
“Ah, that’s the way it is.”
“Uh. Now, while I show you this sketchbook, I will explain it like this, and it will be over.”
After hearing my words, the author patted her lips with her finger and closed her eyes slightly.
That’s a habit you see when thinking about something… What?
“I’ll go too.”
“Huh?”
“Wasn’t it me who added that suit? Maybe my presence would be helpful?”
“Ummm… is it?”
“Have you forgotten what my psychic power is?”
“Ah.”
Without black technology, there would be no hero.
It’s such a great superpower that it’s called that.
With the help of the author, a better result might come out than what I had in my head.
“Okay, let’s go together.”
After hearing my words, the author smiled brightly with an expression that he had accomplished something.
I can’t stand going to the hero office….
ㅡ Ha….
What is it?
ㅡ It’s okay if you don’t know.
She just clicked her tongue, saying Grid was being ridiculous.
No, what is it really?
***
I headed to the Hawkeye Hero office with the author.
In the meantime, there have been times when someone recognized me and gave me an autograph or a handshake, but now I’m used to it so it wasn’t too uncomfortable.
“Now you are a real hero.”
“So you mean you were a fake hero until now? I’m sorry….”
“Isn’t that what you mean?”
“Sorry sorry.”
“Ugh, really….”
The Hawkeye Hero office is between home and university.
So it didn’t take too long to arrive.
“This is amazing.”
“What?”
“I set up an office in this location to repay the favor.”
“Oh, is that so? It’s between my house and the university.”
I guess it was to make my movement as simple as possible.
Maybe the pizza order I received last time was because that place was originally a pizza restaurant.
The building smelled a little like a new house.
By the way, pizza….
“Why are you laughing?”
“No, nothing.”
I laughed when I thought of Yuna, who suddenly said nothing in embarrassment after receiving a pizza order.
ㅡ Tsk tsk.
Why is this bastard like this again?
I felt like I was looking at some unfortunate creature.
“Come on, let’s go.”
I stepped into the Hero Office as usual.
“Ah, Brave, welcome.”
“Hello, Hawkeye.”
I’ve gotten used to Hawkeye calling me Brave now.
“How about that woman?”
“Ah, it’s Lee Ji-eun, my college junior, and she said she would give me some advice about my hero suit, so I brought her. Could there be a problem?”
“No, it can’t be. Hello, my name is Hawkeye.”
“Hello, this is Lee Ji-eun.”
While Hawkeye and Jieun were greeting each other, I took out a sketchbook from my bag.
“This is the draft of the hero suit I mentioned earlier. First….”
I laid out the things I thought of in advance through the conversation with Grid.
“mmm, that’s right. Ah, so….”
Perhaps because Hawkeye was active as a hero until he collapsed due to hero syndrome, he made up for what I lacked in my explanation.
The author also started talking about something professional with the power of black technology, but she doesn’t seem to understand even half of it.
“Hey, is it black technology or something?”
“Oh, yes. That’s right.”
“I never thought I would meet someone with that superpower in my life, hahahaha!”
Black technology is such a rare ability that countries go to war to take it to each other.
There are rumors that the annual salary is worth calling.
It’s a matter of course.
Society is developing like this just because black technology exists.
“Then, I need to talk to the boss about additional things. I have to think about the budget or something like that.”
“Uh… How can I not do it with 30 million won?”
“Brave has multiple powers of body strengthening and hardening, right? I have a lot of melee combat, so it should have better durability. So he has to wear a hero suit made of monster material, which costs more money.”
30 Million won is not enough?
I heard that hero suits are expensive, but there is such a wide variation….
Smart.
ㅡ Come in.
Following Hawkeye to the president’s office, I saw Ms. Yuna sitting in her seat as always.
“Hello, boss.”
“Welcome, Brave… ?”
Ms. Yuna gave me a small smile and greeted me, then froze.
Huh?
“What about the woman over there?”
“Ah, my name is Lee Ji-eun, my college junior. This time, she said she would give me advice on my hero suit, so I brought her. Could you please excuse me?”
“Oh no? Isn’t it?”
Ms. Yuna, who seemed a bit flustered, cleared her throat and then got up and sat down on her sofa.
“Everybody sit down.”
Ms. Yuna sat down and Hawkeye sat on the sofa to the left of Ms. Yuna.
The author and I were sitting on the sofa on the right….
“mmm.”
Yuna’s expression looked oddly nervous.
I don’t know if he’s a person who is unexpectedly shy.
If you think about it, she showed a lot of pretty absurd sides, so it’s highly likely.
It seems that she was very embarrassed to come to me like this without even talking to her beforehand.
I’ll have to make sure this doesn’t happen next time.
ㅡ Ha ha.
What is it?
“This time, Brave handed over the corpse and core of the monster and received 30 million won….”
Hawkeye started talking about my hero suit.
The author supplemented the parts that Hawkeye missed, and Yuna-san flinched whenever she heard the explanation.
As I kept listening to Hawkeye’s explanation, I felt something strange.
ㅡ What is it?
That’s exactly the amount of 30 million won.
Usually a certain amount is brought to the hero office, so even if 30 million won comes out, 30 million won doesn’t exactly come in.
I was blinded by the amount of money of 30 million won, so I was missing the important part.
Maybe Yuna gave me all the money since this office is a paper company.
“Then, in the way the office supports….”
Yuna recommended that if 30 million won is not enough, she should first apply at the office and pay it off in installments.
But she didn’t like that.
Because they were so considerate and helpful, I felt like I was being taken advantage of all the time.
ㅡ You live a very tiring life.
30 Million won? I heard that they usually take around 10 percent, so that’s 300 bowls of soup, man.
“That… I heard that even monster materials have a slightly cheaper price point.”
“Ah, that’s because it’s the corpse of a monster whose core has been destroyed. The quality is a bit low.”
That was the difference between the lowest price and the highest price I looked for on the Internet.
ㅡ No, just say let’s do it and ask for a sample.
Huh?
ㅡ Did you forget my identity? We have no problem with suits made from the corpses of monsters whose cores have been destroyed.
Ah….
From noble mtl dot com
“Please do with that. I would also like to have a sample of the material.”
“Yes? I can support that much, Brave.”
“No, boss. I feel a little uncomfortable because I keep receiving it like that. It’s okay!”
The price of a suit soars to hundreds of millions of won, but how do you get it, Yuna-san….
It was a moment when I realized that Yuna was the daughter of a large corporation.
