93 – The reason for the fight (3)
I didn’t like listening to Humbert, but it could have happened.
That’s why you should organize yourself in advance.
The first thing to do is to take care of the safety of my family and friends.
I went straight to the headquarters and met the boss.
“That part has already been assumed, so there is no need to worry.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Well, since it’s a place where so many experts gather, it must have been easy to predict that much.
“I will protect Brave and others at the national level.”
“Country… Dimensions?”
“Since the appearance of the monster, a new wind has blown into politics.”
South Korea, like it or not, exhibits the characteristics of a bureaucracy.
That is a feature seen in almost every part, from general corporations to political parties.
However, after the appearance of the monster, the characteristics of bureaucracy gradually began to diminish.
“Older people tend to be less judgmental than younger, competent people.”
What… I guess so.
It’s a field I’m not familiar with, so I can’t easily conclude, but isn’t it?
“In Korea, Confucianism and bureaucracy were creating synergy in a bad way. Even though I need to be a little more flexible now.”
From the perspective of the president who studied abroad, he didn’t seem to like the structure of Korea.
“Greetings in return, high-ranking positions who do not know the field, old-fashioned people who are parasitized by the characteristics of the bureaucracy and receive more salaries… It is the type that goes beyond companies and eats away at the country.”
It was a story that those kinds of people were changing water due to the commotion of this A-class monster.
If you think about it, the reason why you are trying to rise to the top is to get your hands on wealth and power.
But you don’t want to go out and take a noisy place where liability issues are constantly being discussed.
The person who takes the place at this moment must be the one with that much clear conviction.
ㅡ The national level is also helping….
… It might be someone who has a personal relationship with the boss.
Be it business or politics, it’s not something I care about, so I’ll have to think about this far.
Because it’s a scary place in a different sense.
After talking with the boss, I went to see the author.
“Wow, are you here?”
“Uh. I’ll be busy soon.”
The author’s expression, which had been a bit restless until just now, had noticeably darkened.
“It’s okay. It was something I had to do anyway.”
“… It’s different here and abroad. You are thinking too easily.”
Maybe.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Jieun. Because I am by your side.”
The grid came out of my body and appeared in the form of Gloria.
“… I’m more worried about you.”
“Hmm? hehehe!”
“Oh, really!”
I stared at the author, who alternately looked at Grid and me with a teary expression.
“Why!”
“Because it’s cute.”
“….”
The author, who had been rampaging until just now, had frozen.
I lightly stroked the author’s head.
The author lowered her head.
“Ohh… Brave finally did the job.”
Grid made a look of interest as he ate the snacks in the room.
I didn’t do anything.
Not yet.
“… Senpai, what the hell happened?”
“What is going on? I decided to be honest.”
“… Ha.”
The author started fanning it with her hand, perhaps feeling the heat even though the air conditioner was running full blast.
She then rolled her eyes up and down and left and right, feeling as if she was searching for something to say, and she finally opened her mouth.
“That… Hero Equipment!”
Oh, I chewed my tongue.
The author tightly closed her eyes and struggled with her, but she barely opened her mouth.
“That… Hero Equipment….”
“Uh, hero equipment.”
“It was Flash, right? Equipment for those with lightning powers.”
“… Huh.”
The equipment is broken, probably because the power it gave off to deal with the A-class monster was too strong.
“I’m thinking of making a new equipment this time. Enough to withstand the output of seniors.”
“Is that possible?”
Even though it’s small, it’s the firepower that killed an A-class monster in one blow?
“I have to do something. And besides that….”
The author started talking about the new equipment she is making.
“Those with fire and electric powers have a very limited ability to use their abilities. You know the lightning ability because I explained it the other day, right? If there is a lightning rod, then it won’t shoot in the desired direction. But for those with ignition skills, it’s even worse. Since the ability is in the form of radiation, the secondary damage is the default unless it is in an open area. In addition, it is difficult to control the firepower, so it is an ability that the villain cannot even use. That’s why the number of people who have the ability to speak and act as heroes can be counted on the fingers of one hand, right?”
She usually has a soft, quiet feeling, but now she is talking at a rapid rate like someone being chased.
ㅡ Because of you, Brave.
The grid entered my body before I knew it and scolded me.
Why is this my fault?
ㅡ It must be difficult to maintain composure as the guy who used to act like a gentleman suddenly jumps in.
Is that so?
It’s kind of cute.
“That’s why I’m making new equipment for those with fire powers. In what way….”
The author continued to explain the hero equipment, but whenever my eyes met, his tone of voice sped up and his eyes went round and round.
I thought I wanted to see more, but I don’t think there will be an end if I stay like this.
“Anyway, it hasn’t been made yet and is being researched, right?”
“Yes? Yes yes….”
“I hope it will be made soon.”
If the heroes become stronger, they will be able to protect society more stably from the threat of Humbert and the monster.
After drinking the coffee the author made, I went to visit Psycho.
“Oh, Brave?”
“Hello.”
“Did you come for the hero gear?”
“Yes.”
“Uh, so… If it’s a topic you’d be most interested in, well, ah! It must have optical camouflage.”
“Optical camouflage?”
A word that could only come out of sci-fi came out.
“Yes, that optical camouflage used by psychics with invisibility. It will be applied to hero equipment in the near future. What… Me and the intern will be very busy for a while, but I mean.”
Using optical camouflage dramatically increases the probability of arresting a criminal.
If used by a person with psychic powers rather than body strengthening, the survivability increases, and it can also be used to escape in a moment of crisis.
It is a useful device in many ways, but until now, it was a technology that was only used for military equipment due to the risk of being abused for crimes.
“Now that the hard-headed people have been completely shattered, they will be free.”
We are not preparing for war with other countries, nor can we bombard the monsters that have appeared in the city center.
At the same time, it’s fortunate that the lesser people who invested only in national defense were wiped out and dealt with realistic problems.
Psycho said that the president told a similar story, and that I would have priority for equipment to be made in the future, so I said to look forward to it.
ㅡ I’m looking forward to it.
Sure.
“Oh, that’s right. I made this first, so take it.”
While saying that, the thing Psycho presented was my broken belt.
“It was broken, so I made a new one. Oh, did you add a function?”
I wore the belt that Psycho gave me around my waist and touched the part called additional functions.
“This is….”
The belt wasn’t that different from before, but the circular cylinders inside were stretched out in two.
Last time, I said that it would be nice to have two round barrels like a double barrel shotgun instead of one, but that seems to have been reflected.
The two holes in this round cylinder were probably made by the author.
Because Jieun knows that I can extract energy from nuclear power.
“What are the added features?”
“If you put on a hero suit and press the button on this belt. Voila!”
The screen displayed by Psycho shows the appearance of the hero suit changing.
“If it is difficult to act as Brave, use this function to disguise yourself. Doesn’t the image change a lot even if only the color is different?”
It seems that when you press the button on the belt, a hologram wraps around the entire body of the suit centering on that part.
With this function, it seems to be an excuse even if you change the shape of the suit and get caught.
“Thank you.”
“By the way, what is the cylinder of the suit?”
“Ummm… That is a secret between me and the author.”
“Babys… This is not a secret base motel!”
Psycho patted me on the back and waved his hand to let me go.
I spoke with the rest of the staff and left headquarters.
Now is the time to meet people with psychic syndrome.
***
Patients in Korea are given priority over overseas patients.
There was also a calculation that it would be over soon since the land was small anyway.
But things didn’t go according to plan.
Because the patients were all scattered.
Patients with psychic syndrome, unlike vegetative people, did not need an oxygen respirator.
So people who couldn’t afford it were taking care of patients at home.
I had to spend a lot of time trying to meet all those patients.
Fortunately, with the cooperation of the government, patients were able to gather in one place, and treatment was dramatically accelerated.
“Whoa….”
ㅡ I feel like I’m about to explode! Heh heh heh.
Is it good?
ㅡ Good!
Now that my ability is known, it might be dangerous.
But I don’t think I was wrong.
It is impossible to not reveal my identity while treating so many patients, and without the help of the government, such rapid treatment would not have been possible.
“Thank you! Thank you… !”
The patient’s mother, holding both of her hands, lowered her head and shed tears.
“No. You will open your eyes after a little while.”
“Ah, ah, ah….”
Honestly, my conscience stung when I saw my family members bowing their heads saying thank you.
It is a good thing when patients suffering from psychic syndrome can safely open their eyes.
It’s a good thing, but it wasn’t an act I started with a noble mind to save these people.
ㅡ Anyway, if you kill Humbert who caused this situation, everything will be resolved. It’s about finding people who have both sides and sides. Think easy, Brave.
… Yes, thinking like that would make my heart feel better.
ㅡ Can’t you see the eyes of people looking at us?
I looked around at Grid’s words and saw his family hugging the patient and looking up at me.
ㅡ Everyone is thanking us. That’s enough. We saved a man, Brave.
… Yes, we saved people.
It wasn’t just saving a patient’s life.
No matter what the intention was, the lives of those families were saved.
That was enough.
I left the message of asking the medical staff to take good care of me and left for the next destination.
At this pace, work in Korea would be completed in a week.
ㅡ Next would be Japan.
It’s close, it’s close, maybe… It must be because of that.
ㅡ A black technology researcher who left.
Yes.
The government seems to want them to contact the researcher and persuade them if possible.
To be honest, I think the chances are small.
ㅡ Relax your posture and close your eyes.
Following Grid’s words, I leaned into the seat and closed my eyes.
This is the process of converting the excess energy that overflows into the body into nuclei until moving to the next place.
ㅡ C-level seems possible, Brave!
Yes, do as you please.
I’m a bit tired, so I need to rest.
Japan and then maybe China, and maybe a larger country.
I felt like I was already getting tired because it was going to be a pretty forced march.
