A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 164
Episode 164
Hwaoman
Korea Paranormal Abilities Association, also known as Hero Association.
Their headquarters in the middle of Seoul.
"No, an S-class hero is coming. What does that mean??"
-is currently in an uproar.
"Literally. They said they were going to catch Ego Stick in the U.S.... They suddenly dispatched an S-class hero.."
The president of the association explained this while wiping the sweat from his forehead..
Lee Seol-ah frowned and spoke as if she couldn't understand what he said..
"No... leaving everything behind, why on earth are you coming here all of a sudden? Ego Stick has not even caused a terrorist attack in recent months.?"
"...I don't know either. What if the international committee made that decision?."
"ha..."
Lee Seol-ah pressed her forehead with her finger as if she had a headache..
...Ego Stick, Dain. The crisis that befell her fellow comrade was also her crisis, so she was just distraught..
And next to it.
"...I don't understand."
Shadowwalker, Jahyun Kim muttered..
The person who was dragged out of his sleep due to a sudden incident..
Maybe that's why he looked tired, but his eyes shined with a sharp attitude, as he acknowledged that he was a man with an egotism..
"Egostick and the North Atlantic organization Latis... It seems plausible that it's a collaboration between the two... But even so, why now??"
"So."
Lee Seol-ah nods her head and agrees with what he said..
The two already met last time and had an in-depth conversation about the ego stick that protects the Republic of Korea from behind..
In other words, there is no choice but to react negatively to the fact that an American S-class hero is coming to capture Ego Stick..
And they weren't the only ones causing rejection..
"...."
Starders. New day.
Her expression hardened immediately after hearing the news..
To be exact, I felt bad. Why America? Suddenly the ego stick?
Even while making that impression, she felt herself contradicting herself. It felt like her inner righteous hero self was screaming. What's the problem?.
Actually, if you think about it... the fact that an S-class hero comes from far away America to catch a South Korean villain is not something to feel bad about, but something to be thankful for. Another advantage is that since it was sent by the International Association itself, there will be no charge to Korea for the cost..
In other words, if you look at it, the allies are commendable because they are catching terrorists from other countries..
But why do I feel so bad.
When Stardust feels so confused.
Seol-ah Lee, who was sitting in front, slammed the desk and argued with the president of the association..
"This is definitely a problem. No, when did we ask for help? Stardust and we can fully resolve the issue, but coming out like that is ignoring the Republic of Korea.."
"Right. If they suddenly come out on the same day like this... it would be diplomatic disrespect. If you think about it,."
Shadowwalker nods in agreement next to him..
"No, you guys. Why are you doing this to me?..."
As the two heroes looked at him, the president of the association wiped his sweat with a handkerchief again as if he was in pain..
Stadus listened to the two people and nodded without realizing it..
...okay. It's natural to feel bad. I wasn't weird.
This was Stardust's conclusion after seeing Icicle and Shadow Walker, who looked a little angry like him. okay. Why would those two be angry? I'm angry because it's a situation where I'm angry. Those two aren't even on the same side as Ego Stick. This is a situation where everyone will be angry..
As Starthers rationalized, he thought more without realizing it..
...Everyone leaves. Egostick is her responsibility. Her ego sticks that she is the only hero she sees as her own counterpart, and vice versa. Who is coming between us?.
In the first place, you are the ego stick expert..
Just like that, Stardust's eyes became even darker. It was then that Lee Seol-ah, who looked back at Stardus, noticed Stardus' condition and was a little worried..
The door to the conference room burst open, and an association employee came rushing in..
"Hey, Hero Meteel has arrived from America.!"
"Uh huh. They say we've arrived at the airport now?"
"yes? no. We have now arrived at our building.."
"?"
When the group and the president of the association are momentarily embarrassed.
From the hallway, the sound of high heels clicking was heard..
Soon, the door to the conference room bursts open..
"nice to meet. Heroes of Korea."
A woman confidently entered the conference room..
American S-class hero Meteel.
She arrived at the Korean Association.
***
long gray hair.
pure white skin.
Sharp looking eyes.
She has her jacket draped behind her and her arms proudly crossed..
America's S-class hero.
Meteel.
She was currently leaning on the sofa in the association president's office, legs crossed, sipping tea..
"....You came quickly.?"
"okay. she flew."
Even though he's clearly speaking in English, it feels like he's speaking in a cheesy way..
Well, the president of the association, who had already seen several overseas S-class heroes and knew how cheap some of them were, just wanted to do that..
"The reason I came here. It's to catch that ego stick or something.."
"...Are you here just for that reason??"
"okay. They told me to do it from above. So, I came here to warm up.."
She said that and laughed.
"...After all, isn’t he at best an A-level villain? I looked through his terrorism record, and there was nothing special. You're just a clown with a big mouth, I can catch enough on my own. Rather, it's strange that I haven't caught it until now.."
Lee Seol-ah was momentarily moved to tears by the words that blatantly ignored Ego Stick, but she knew that if she took his side here, the picture would get even weirder, so she bit her lip and stayed quiet for now..
And instead, she looked at Meteel..
She has long gray hair and wears a darker gray outfit that looks like an officer's uniform..
The face had a venomous look, which was believable even if it were a villain rather than a hero. Did you say his power is like a rock?.
In addition, there is a unique arrogance that can be felt in the way he speaks and behaves. S-class hero. Among them, his pride seemed very strong, perhaps because he was an American S-class hero called Celestial Dragon..
The president of the association sitting at his desk didn't seem to care much, but Lee Seol-ah, who was facing her, quickly realized. This S class isn't very easy. If a nice kid had come, how could she control Lee Seol, but when a kid who just looked harsh came, her head started pounding..
My head still hurt like that, but I felt even more anxious because even Haru next to me was quiet..
and then.
Metiel sipped another cup of tea poured by the staff, then smiled and muttered as he passed by..
"And... me too. I can't believe I haven't been able to control that loud-mouthed clown for two or three years. What on earth has the association done so far? Well, I understand because there are A-level heroes in this country. haha."
Now, Meteel is openly acting like that..
At those words, Lee Seol-ah could not hold back any longer and decided to say something..
"hey."
"Hmm? Something."
"...So, you know that there have been 0 casualties since the villain's terror attack, right? Even from an international perspective, you don't know how difficult it is to maintain this state of affairs without a single hostage being sacrificed in all terrorist attacks.?"
Lee Seol-ah spoke almost sarcastically at the end..
...Actually, I didn't plan on going this hard, but I ended up being too aggressive..
Well, that was something he said after looking at his back and her and making his own judgment..
And also.
After hearing those words, Meteel looked towards Lee Seol-ah and smiled, then shook his head and said:.
"Haha...yeah. Hostage. That's right, there were no casualties.."
After saying that, she looked at Lee Seol-ah..
To be exact, looking at Shin Haru. opened my mouth.
"...Still, sometimes. It is necessary to sacrifice a cow for the greater good. For the greater good... Don't you know? Well, if I had known that, I wouldn't have let that little bugger run wild like that.."
After saying those words, she stood up, looked down and said.
"Sometimes, for the greater good, you have to give up your hostages. Even if a few people die in the process, wouldn't capturing the villain lead to a better outcome??"
After saying that, Meteel put on her high heels and headed toward the door..
She soon opened the door, paused for a moment, turned to the president of the association and said:.
"President of the Association, Thanks for the tea. And the next time that ego stick commits a terrorist attack, I will step forward, so I hope she doesn't step forward for no reason. I've had enough of that guy on my own, so I'll just sit here and watch him get half-killed. I'll take care of it. Then bye."
With those words, she coolly put on her high heels and walked out..
When the sound of high heels could no longer be heard, Lee Seol-ah became angry..
"No, really, what is that girl? Does she say this is her master bedroom? She's so ridiculous."
Even as Lee Seol-ah said that, she looked at Shin Haru, who was sitting next to her..
She hadn't said a word since earlier..
After Meteel left, Haru rested his arms on the desk in front of the sofa and seemed to be thinking about something with a cold, stiff face..
Then, in a slightly subdued voice, Haru muttered softly..
"....also. Should I soak it?."
"What, what??"
"...."
Seeing Haru with a dark expression, Lee Seol-ah broke into a cold sweat..
Okay, let’s just pretend we didn’t hear it..
***
ego base.
After Lee Seol-ah contacted me, I looked at the records of S-class Meteel, who said he personally came from the United States to Korea to capture me. Her brilliant career unfolds before your eyes.
"brother. how is it?"
When Seo-eun asked me as if she was anxious, I gave a short answer..
"It won't work. As expected, I should just soak this one.."
"...yes?"
Seo-eun seems embarrassed by the conclusion I came to..
I've already decided whether to do it or not..
okay. Rather good. After thinking about it for a long time, it seems right to just immerse it in a physical sense..
With those words, I started planning for the future..
under the same sky.
The hero and villain were both thinking the same thing without realizing it..
