episode_0011

As it was my first time in a corporate setting, I may have come on a bit strong, but I got a slap on the back of my head.

“Did I come on too strong?”

Rubbing my sore head, I took my seat at my desk.

“Jisoo unni, is that person okay?”

“It’s the orders from above.”

“Ugh. They only look at skills when hiring. They don’t care about how we feel working with them.”

Seeing the woman who was sticking close to Jisoo, one thing became clear to me.

I had made a bad first impression.

I thought I could easily come and go from this job, but my mind went blank when the man lying on the couch looking at his phone spoke.

“Hanna, we have to work together for at least 5 years, but it doesn’t seem like we’ll get along from the start, does it?”

5… 5 years?

“Well, I don’t plan on getting along with a lunatic who tells me to report for duty late on the first day.”

5 years and whatnot.

Unable to bear the relentless criticism, I raised my hand.

“I also don’t want to associate with a plain-looking empty-headed girl like you.”

“What did you say?! You bastard!!”

As the electric power user approached me, her hair began to stand on end in all directions as if reacting to static electricity.

You have to deal with superpowers with superpowers.

As I pondered where to cut her, Jisoo sighed and waved her hand.

Despite the commotion, the chubby man who had been smiling at the monitor with a cup of coffee floating in the air came over to the woman and me.

“Shut up and drink your coffee.”

In response to Bae Jisoo’s actions, Hanna, the empty-headed gorilla, sat down defiantly.

“Kim Hanna. Even if you don’t like it, think before you speak.”

“Hmph!”

“Park Jinsu, you too. If you’re a newbie, you should smile and be nice.”

“If you just sit still after getting hit, that’s not being nice, it’s being an idiot, isn’t it?”

“Ugh. Let’s stop talking.”

Eventually giving up, Bae Jisoo sat down at the desk with her nameplate.

“The atmosphere is ruined, so I’ll introduce you roughly. Our new team member, Park Jinsu. Do you want to introduce yourself?”

“I’m 27-year-old Park Jinsu. Nice to meet you. Oh, my ability is separation.”

Scratching my head, I roughly introduced myself, and Bae Jisoo’s gaze turned to the gorilla.

“Hanna.”

“Tsk! I’m 27-year-old Kim Hanna. My ability is electrical discharge.”

‘Yeah. You’re now an electric gorilla.’

I heard a buzzing sound in my head.

“Jiho.”

At Bae Jisoo’s words, the short-haired man who had been speaking a little while ago got up from the couch.

I didn’t notice when he was lying down, but his muscular body looked like he could fight well.

“I’m Kim Jiho. I’m 36 years old. My ability is physical enhancement, so I’m usually the first one on the scene. I look forward to working with you.”

“I look forward to your guidance, Senior Jiho.”

“Oh… okay.”

Even if I’m a crazy person, I can still tell who’s who.

“Next is Seojin.”

Bae Jisoo called out the name, but there was no response.

“Seojin!”

Only when she raised her voice did the man who had been leaning close to the monitor suddenly stand up in surprise.

“Ah! Y-yes, you called me! Team Leader!”

His hurried movements made his flesh jiggle.

His face full of acne, black-rimmed glasses, and mushroom hair covering his eyes.

My radar detected him.

‘That guy is one of my kind! An otaku!!’

I am a self-proclaimed otaku.

The man known as Seojin is an otaku who doesn’t take care of himself.

“You’re in the middle of introducing yourself. Please introduce yourself briefly.”

“Yare yare. It seems like Otaku King is too focused on the new work. Gomen nasai.”

“Sigh… Alright, introduce yourself.”

The otaku looked at me with a hazy expression and then flashed a sly smile.

“Brh! So, you’re the last member of our Black Dark Hunters, Sooka!”

“… Me?”

“Jinsu, ignore him.”

“Haha!! My name is I Seojin! My ability is [Gyounshi], which only the chosen ones can enjoy!”

“Gyounshi?”

“Hmph. You must be curious. Gyounshi is a special ability that is not allowed for ordinary people!!”

“It’s an ability to distinguish between superhumans and regular people. You can also detect traces of superpowers to some extent.”

Unable to contain his curiosity, Bae Jisoo introduced Seojin, who looked shocked at Jinsu.

“Team leader?! This is no good!! It’s such a rare and cool scene!!”

Disappointed, Seojin lowered his head and sat down.

Trembling hand holding a cup, he looked puzzled.

“Huh?”

Making a disgusted sound, he looked shocked at the empty coffee cup.

“Ugh!! It’s gone!! It’s not there!! The Dark Paralyzing Water to suppress the powerful force is missing!!”

“Seojin, be quiet!”

“Ugh!!”

As Bae Jisoo finished introducing the last member, she looked at me weakly.

Her face was filled with exhaustion.

“Jinsu, please behave like a normal person, okay?”

“I’ll try.”

I became an employee and came to the office, but this is not an ordinary company.

“Others might already know, but since we have a newcomer, I’ll give a brief explanation.”

“Our role is to arrest villains and criminals. In simple terms, we are like the superpower version of the police.”

At the mention of the police, I involuntarily raised my hand.

“Why.”

“Because you’re Grade B.”

“And?”

“What about the others? You didn’t mention their grades during the introduction.”

“Right.”

Bae Jisoo casually answered and then looked at the team members.

“Everyone else is Grade C, except for you.”

Grade C, like a sparrow.

At first glance, I looked like an electric gorilla or a muscle man, but thanks to the explanation of being Grade C, I suddenly seemed impressive.

“Sis, what grade is that bastard?”

“F.”

“What?! He’s a f***ing idiot! How can we work with that trash?! And on top of that, recycling? Isn’t that what we use to throw away garbage?!”

“Are you going to tear your head and body apart, gorilla?! Are you?! F-grade, where did you open your mouth?! Aren’t you going to shut up?!”

“… Damn.”

As the gorilla said, I am a F***ing recognized by the country. Not a F***ing, but an F-grade superhuman.

As I lowered my head, Bae Jisoo shrugged her shoulders.

“He hasn’t even been registered for a week. Time will solve the grade issue.”

This time, Kim Jiho raised her hand.

“When did you awaken?”

“Why are you asking me when the person is right here?”

“Haha. Let’s just leave it at that.”

Scratching her cheek, Jiho looked at me.

“Jinsu, when did you awaken? Oh, can I speak informally?”

“Of course, senior. I awakened during the great earthquake three years ago.”

“Three years ago? But why did you register now?”

When Jiho asked, I hesitated for a moment on how to explain, and then Kim Hanna spoke up.

“Probably because it’s such a f***ing useless ability that it was embarrassing to register! Right?!”

Unable to bear it, I used my ability to [stop] Hanna’s mouth.

“Hmm?”

“Oh?”

“Hoho?”

Everyone’s attention turned to Hanna, who was making a commotion.

I quickly used my ability to [cut off] her mouth and moved it into the air.

My ability is [separation], with no connection to [stop].

Just as Hanna was about to say something, Bae Jisoo clapped her hands to grab everyone’s attention.

“Jinsu, deactivate the ability.”

“Yes.”

At her command, I used [reversal].

Kim Hanna’s face returned to normal.

“Jinsu, using your ability on your colleagues is prohibited.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Apologize to Hanna.”

“But that jerk started it first, didn’t he?”

“Still, abilities don’t work.”

I couldn’t ignore her, as we were in the same position as our mother.

As I sighed and turned my head, Kim Hanna was looking down at me with a victorious smile.

Towards her.

“Eat shit, you bastard.”

I straightened out my index finger.

“Unni!!”

“Ugh… seriously.”

The atmosphere became tense, but with the start of my ability manifestation, the topic shifted.

“Was that a separation just now?”

“Yes.”

“Would it hurt if that happened to you?”

“No? If it did, that bitch would have made a fuss.”

“What the hell?! You wanna fight for real?!”

“Jiho sunbae. Can’t you hear the gorilla crying somewhere?”

“Ahh!! Jisoo unni! Don’t stop me!!”

“Jiho-ssi! I’ll be back after going out with Hanna for a bit!!”

After Kim Hanna was dragged out by Bae Jisoo, the office became quiet.

“Hahaha… it’s chaos from the first day.”

“I’m sorry, sunbae.”

“No, you can’t always be right. Come back and use that ability on me for a moment?”

“The team leader said not to use it on colleagues earlier.”

“If there’s mutual consent, it’s fine.”

“Alright. Where should I cut?”

“… The expression ‘cut’ is a bit scary.”

Jiho chuckled and extended both hands.

“I used to play thumb separation magic when I was young. Can I do it?”

Thumb separation magic?

“It’s my specialty.”

“Wow! This is fun, isn’t it?”

“I’m glad you like it.”

While Jiho was playing by cutting me into pieces and moving them around, Seojin, who had gone out to buy Dark whatever coffee, returned.

“I’m back!”

“Oh! Seojin! Look at this! Isn’t it amazing?”

When Kim Jiho waved his cut hand, Seojin’s gaze turned towards us.

And.

Thud.

He dropped the coffee he was holding to the floor.

And suddenly, his pupils began to tremble.

“Uh, uh…”

“Seojin?”

“Seojin sunbaenim?”

He grabbed his chest with trembling hands and fell backward.

Thud!

“Seojin?!”

“Seojin sunbaenim!!”

“Jinsu! Try to undo this!!”

“Yes, yes!!”

He frothed at the mouth and fainted.

“Unni! Can’t we just kick that bastard out?! We’ve been doing well together so far!!”

“It’s an order from above, I can’t help it. But I’ll try not to involve you and Jinsu as much as possible, so bear with it. Okay?”

“Ugh… annoying!”

“Yeah, yeah. Isn’t our Hanna nice?”

Bae Jisoo returned to the office with a slightly calmed down Kim Hanna.

And what caught the eyes of the two women was.

“An ambulance! We need to call an ambulance!!”

“Jinsu! Calm down!! Superhumans can’t go to a regular hospital!!”

“Then what should we do?!”

“We need to provide emergency treatment first!! Potion! Do you have any spare potions?!”

“If it’s a low-grade potion, it’s here!!”

“Thank you! I’ll pay you back later!! Seojin! Drink this!!”

“Gulp… cough… ack.”

“Seojin!!!”

“Seojin sunbae!!”

“What… is this?”

“I know, right…?”

There was no mess like this mess.
