90 – After the Storm (5)
News broke out that the number of owners of Black Technology in Korea had decreased from three to one.
Seeing the rampage of the Class A monster that appeared this time, it seems that this country is no longer safe.
It was a story that one was leaving for America and the other for Japan.
The Korean peninsula is safe.
Compared to other countries, security is relatively stable.
The most special thing is that no monster higher than A-class has appeared on the Korean peninsula for 20 years.
For that reason, they are the ones who refused love calls from other countries and stayed here.
A country where the world’s first underground laboratory was breached by a monster, a country where it was half-proven that you couldn’t stop an A-class monster when it appeared.
With these two titles, it is inevitable even if you make up your mind to leave.
Some critics were formed when he said he was leaving his country, but the voice was on the small side.
Because most of them turned to politics where nothing was done to make this happen.
I didn’t go all the way to impeachment.
Because the president didn’t do anything wrong.
Instead, the lame duck intensified and the administration was paralyzed.
If this condition continues, it will lead to a voluntary resignation scenario.
But even if the sky collapsed, there was always a hole through which to rise.
Breaking news that Korean society has stabilized a little has come out.
The one remaining black technology person said that he would continue to stay in Korea, and the following information….
“Ji-eun, are you really okay?”
“Yes. I have already decided.”
It was that the author would be working as a black technology researcher.
In the true sense of the word, not an intern anymore.
From noble mtl dot com
Of course, personal information has not been disclosed to ensure safety, but I am still concerned.
The author has already died once….
“Senior… I’ve been thinking about it.”
“Uh.”
“Society wouldn’t be so confused if heroes carried stronger equipment or had new weapons, right?”
“I guess so.”
“Senpai wouldn’t have pushed too hard either.”
“Um… Is that right?”
“Then I will do what I can.”
“… Okay.”
It’s dangerous in my heart, so I want to tell him to stop.
But looking at the author’s expression, I didn’t think my persuasion would work.
If you think about it, the author is also a person who has been involved in volunteer club activities for over two years.
You have the ability to save others, but if you don’t do anything, you’ll feel uncomfortable.
All you have to do is keep the people who stay here at headquarters out of his reach.
That’s how I made up my mind.
“Senior, what about Mr. Grid?”
“I am playing at home. I think we need a day or two more.”
“….”
Don’t look at me like that, I’m tired too.
“Hmmm… senior.”
“Why?”
“Senior’s psychic powers… He is known for having multiple powers of body enhancement and hardening, but it was discovered that he can use other abilities as well.”
“Yes.”
People who have two or more psychic abilities are not that common, but I know that they are not insignificant.
Of course, people with two or more psychic powers are all combat related, but it is rare.
There are also a large number of people who have multiple abilities but cannot manifest them at the same time.
However, a rookie appeared who might have 3 or more combat-related psychic powers.
He’s a hero who hasn’t finished his internship yet.
Such a hero single-handedly caught a monster that was judged to be A-class based on the extent of the damage and eyewitness statements.
This is bound to draw people’s attention.
Because First is the first and last record of hunting a monster of A-rank or higher without the aid of any equipment.
“There will be a lot of noise in the future.”
“… I guess so. So I’m thinking of taking out the grid and revealing what my abilities are.”
“… Are you serious?”
“Are you serious?”
“Don’t play around at times like this.”
I took a sip of the coffee the author made and turned his head to the side.
Remembering that night was like a nightmare.
“I… I really wanted to go back.”
The author’s expression darkened.
“Greed laughed and talked about the greatest mad movie of the deceased. That grid.”
It’s amazing that I’m still alive.
“Did you hear about the agents being mobilized to capture Humbert?”
“Yes. I heard you couldn’t touch telekinesis or anything.”
“Yes. After all, to solve this situation, you must become strong enough to kill someone who uses such unknown powers.”
“Porridge….”
You must become stronger.
It was a fluke that I fought and won against that monster this time.
I can’t hope for such luck in the future.
According to Grid, in the worst case, my ego might be taken away.
“I will do what I can, just as you would do something for others.”
“Now… It will be difficult to act as a hero that the sunbae wanted.”
“I guess so. Still, this is right.”
A hero like a kind neighbor doesn’t have to be a hero.
Because there are many people who do volunteer work even after coming out to society.
“If it’s a senior, then that’s it. But senior….”
“Why?”
“You know what? What am I going to do for others? I didn’t mean to do that.”
“You said it was for me? Thank you.”
As I said that, I removed the hair from the corner of the author’s mouth.
“Good… ship?”
“Thank you, Jieun.”
As a bonus, I stroked her hair.
“….”
The author’s face turned red.
Ah, that’s cute.
Something is comforting.
I’m not a pervert who gets excited about a mysterious monster.
“… What does this mean?”
The author’s eyes contained a little anticipation, a little fear, and a little anger.
Seeing this, I realized that I was a son of a b*tch playing with a woman’s heart, as Grid said.
I pushed her face at the author.
Then the author froze.
I brought her mouth to the author’s ear.
“Humbert, if you kill that bastard and society calms down… Then I’ll go first. Wait a minute, okay?”
I said that and stroked the author’s head.
The author’s face turned bright red, so it was quite cute.
“….”
The author bowed her head as it was.
I don’t know why I’ve been avoiding it because I was embarrassed about it.
I’m not a eunuch.
“I’ll go.”
I got up from her seat, leaving the author with her head bowed.
***
The media, which I had refrained from because I had just been discharged from the hospital, started approaching me one by one.
At first, I thought it was a bit of a fuss, but when I looked around and saw the eyes gathering, I realized that it wasn’t a fuss.
So I unintentionally bought a hat and ended up covering my face.
I didn’t have a grid, and I didn’t wear a hero badge because I had to recuperate.
In this situation, trying to attract people’s attention is just tiring.
I think it would be a bit confusing if the identity of the place I was going to was revealed….
The bus was quieter than expected, so there were plenty of seats.
I sat in an empty seat and stared blankly out the window.
ㅡ At that moment, Hero Brave rushes at the monster.
… Here’s my story too
If there was a grid at that time, I would have said something like, “This is all thanks to me.”
“Wow… You said you got an A-class by yourself?”
“Does this make sense? Didn’t the heroes get beaten up and run away, so they raised it to A-class?”
“Isn’t it supposed to be an uplift? The person who flew away after being hit first isn’t Super Armor, a grade A judgment on body hardening, right?”
“… It must be a monster specializing in attack power or something.”
“It’s true that some parts are A-rank, whether or not they specialize in attack power, you bastard. It’s not like the two researchers defected from Joseon because it was only Class A in the first place.”
“Ummm….”
Two men who looked like college students were talking about me.
It must be hard to believe.
But that monster was a demon born from the concept of absurdity.
The moment you stand in front of him, this will kill you… Because that’s what it felt like.
I haven’t met a B-class yet, but it was rude to compare him to a B-rank.
At least I’ve never heard of a B-class monster who killed a body hardening ability in one blow.
ㅡ This stop is Seogyo-dong Wedding Hall Town.
Ah, we have arrived.
I got off the bus straight away and headed to the place where I fought the monster.
“Oh….”
It’s been less than a week since the bloody battle with the monster, but the roads have already been restored to some extent, and the demolition of the destroyed buildings has already been completed.
I looked around and found the place where I last killed the monster.
I didn’t have to spend a lot of time.
Because there was already a crowd of citizens who came to take pictures there.
I looked around and realized that it was raining that day.
There was already a fire hydrant in the area where I fought, which had been replaced with a new one.
Perhaps the reason my back hurt so strangely was because it smashed that fire hydrant.
Good luck.
These days, the word that Grid has learned from.
I think this situation is perfect for this situation.
If it hadn’t been for the water from the fire hydrant that I thought was rain, I would have given up.
The roads have been corrected, and there is no clear video of me becoming a half-monster.
It doesn’t seem to have been filmed on CCTV nearby, and it hasn’t appeared on the news either.
With this, the business is over.
It was the moment I was about to return home with that thought.
There were people who were aiming for the moment when people were distracted by the crowd.
Bug bugs.
I made my way through the crowd and approached them.
And when he tried to snatch his wallet with a triumphant smile, I grabbed the wallet in the air, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him up.
“Gagging, gagging! What, what the f*ck!”
f*ck?
A dog-like bastard….
“If you commit crimes such as arson using superpowers, murder, injury and assault, s*x crimes, robbery and theft, etc., You can be punished more severely.”
I sighed as I tightened my grip on the guy’s collar.
“Keck, kuck, f*ck!”
He started screaming and kicking my body.
But compared to that monster, its attacks were lighter than a breeze.
“Hey, f*ck you!”
He continued to struggle, spitting out curse words that seemed to be lacking somewhere in his head.
I could see the two people in my party who were listening to it running at me.
One of them moves quite fast.
Is there an acceleration ability?
Someone uses psychic powers to jump into a fire and save citizens, but who uses their abilities for such a job….
Bug-like babies.
I blocked the fist of the accelerator who was swinging his fist at my face with my palm and grabbed it as it was.
“Ouch, this, you bastard!”
You troublesome bastard.
I put all my strength into my hands and started to press his fists.
“Quaaagh! Stop that! Protest, surrender! Shivaaal!”
Then he knelt down on the spot, weeping, wondering where his dignified attitude had gone.
As I looked at it, the rest of the cub, who seemed to be a colleague, began to walk backwards while sweating.
“Hey. You can’t run away anyway, so just stand there.”
The guy who was trying to run away heard me and turned around and started running away.
You troublesome bastard.
I slammed the youngster who was holding on to the collar to the floor and grabbed the scruff of the neck as it ran away.
“aaa!”
It was only caught by the scruff of the neck, but these bugs started rampaging like criminals sentenced to death.
In the riot, the hat he was wearing on his head came off….
“Haa….”
An expected commotion broke out.
