Hot pink is okay.

Each hero’s choice of personal color is a personal preference, and this preference is something that should not be tampered with.

-Please make my costume a deep dark black color.

-what? Isn’t black a bit of a villainous color?

-what? Are you saying that my favorite color, black, is a villain-like color? Crrr, it’s turning black!

-No, this crazy?

Those with special abilities are like delicate pieces of glass, and if touched carelessly, they turn black.

Therefore, when heroes decide on their special ability suits, they should not carelessly argue from the side.

hot pink.

It is a color that must be respected.

Some people make hero costumes in rainbow colors, and hot pink is a pretty noble color.

“Hot pink. It’s good. The color is clear, and even in the dark, dangerous people can immediately recognize that you are a ‘hero’.”

“Right?”

“But it’s not Dodge Rider.”

“Why?”

“Because he’s a villain.”

Hot pink is okay.

Light pink is also okay.

But not Doji Rider.

“No matter what Doji Rider’s design is, the goblin is a villain. Which hero in the world imitates the villain’s costume?”

“I’m sorry, sir. People don’t think that way.”

“What?”

“Everyone felt ‘cool’ after seeing the goblin’s design, and now everyone is making new hero costumes based on the goblin’s design.”

“No.”

What nonsense is this?

“Oh my, didn’t you know? It has been a very hot issue in the past week.”

“I was working and reading books in the basement of the library, so I wasn’t interested in that. That kind of thing didn’t come up often in the news, did it?”

“There was a very active discussion in the student-only community. Especially for male students. ‘If you’re a man, you can’t stand seeing this.’ ”

I understand.

Originally, it stimulated the emotions of the time, but was transformed into a design that will not look outdated even in 2025.

Did you add too much variation to break away from the existing design? No.

Is it a design that is so simple and makes people laugh in order to protect a certain concept? No.

Is this an image that gives people who see it for the first time a feeling of disgust and say, ‘Damn, what is that?’ That too No.

Every man lives with a transformation hero in his heart at least once, and I actually transformed like that.

“Sejong Academy is now looking like a villain. Does this make sense? How can you design and wear a villain costume in an educational setting?”

“It’s not a villain’s costume. It is a costume of a hero who fights monsters and demons from space. It has a slightly machine-like feel.”

“Huh.”

I was amazed by all the designs that Isun Yun showed.

“Wasn’t this something that came out before we were even born?”

“Yes. This is a typical example of Korean heroes who came out in 2000 and gained sensational popularity before the world was in turmoil.”

There will be very few people who know.

Knowing this, I think it would be perfect to hear young people say, ‘What is that?’

“Earth Warrior.”

“…Yes, I know it is a Korean special effects film. But is it really okay for everyone to go like this? Don’t these talented people have any sense of shame?”

“More important than shame is ‘coolness’. Isn’t it more important to look cool as a hero? No matter how good a hero is, if his costume is ruined, he becomes unpopular.”

It’s a straight argument.

“If your appearance is bad, you can’t be popular as a hero. Isn’t that right?”

“That’s right.”

No matter how powerful a hero is, no matter how few S-class heroes exist in the world, if his appearance is ruined, his popularity will also be ruined.

-Would you please call me Mosquito Man?

-How can you attach a mosquito to an S-class hero! There’s something suitable like a wolf or a killer whale over there!

-But since I am obsessed with mosquitoes…

Once again, a person with special abilities is like glass.

-what? Cursing mosquitoes? I can tolerate cursing myself, but I cannot tolerate cursing mosquitoes! I apologize for that!

-Damn it, if nothing else, no mosquitoes! Of all the people in this world, no one likes mosquitoes! If you make it cool with the concept of a cockroach, it’s even more unusual! No mosquitoes!

-I can’t forgive you for swearing at mosquitoes! I will change the rotten mentality of everyone in this world who hates mosquitoes until they start loving mosquitoes!

-That’s because you’re crazy! Regardless of whether the S-class goes dark or not, I have to say what I have to say!

Things like this happen all over the world.

When other people with special abilities, adults, or the general public cannot accept the appearance pursued by the hero.

-Make it! Awesome Mosquito Man! If I don’t like the design, I’ll leave this country!

-Where are you going?

-Until there is a country that accepts the Mosquito Man!

-Damn, yes! Let’s give it a try! Let’s see how the world perceives Mosquito Man!!

It’s a bit of an extreme example, but Dodge Rider is the same as Mosquito Man.

“Student Iseon Yoon. When I was talking about the devil, I said that even if the person known to the world is a devil or a monster, if his actions are just, he is a hero.”

“Yes.”

“For example, let’s say student Yoon Iseon changes into something like a nine-tailed fox. However, let’s say that the nine-tailed fox does not steal a person’s liver, but rather extracts the villain’s magical power in a very special way and then stores it in a bead or something.”

“……Could you talk about it in detail?”

Yun Yi-seon’s eyes began to sparkle.

Since it was blatantly spoiling not only her future costume but also the direction of development of this ability, Yoon Yi-seon showed considerable interest.

“For example, something like this. It’s a nine-tailed fox wearing a hanbok, and it carries a vital bead like a prophet’s bead. From there, he can spew out fox fire, and in close combat, he can swing claws made of magical power, and he can swing the nine tails that grow out from behind like whips, and fox fire can come out from each tail and fly towards the enemy.”

“…wearing Hanbok?”

“Okay. Later on, he even transformed into a nine-tailed fox. Ah, this is a bit like that.”

The final form of Yun Yi-seon is to become a tall beauty with an adjusted body balance.

“You could go with the concept of absorbing the opponent’s magical power. Wearing a hot pink hanbok.”

Rather than asking the hero to become some kind of giant beast, it is better to leave some room here.

“But it’s not a goblin.”

Concepts like Legendary Hero, Super Ranger, Power Sentai, and Masked Rider belong to Gumiho, not Yoon I-seon!

“Making something similar to the appearance of a goblin can, if done incorrectly, end up defending the goblin.”

“I am a defender of goblins.”

shit.

The words are repeated again.

“Good. Let’s say it becomes a pink rider, similar to a hot pink Dodge Rider. Is the public opinion really favorable?”

“Yes. Teacher, there is something you are overlooking, but a person called Goblin is so popular in Korea and around the world that he has a fan club.”

“Even though he’s a villain?”

“That is the country’s perspective. Although he is a member of the Imae Mangryang organization, Goblin has never committed any crime except when executing a villain.”

“…….”

That’s right.

As a law-abiding citizen, I never used this ability carelessly or showed it at any time other than when executing a villain.

“When villains go on a rampage, they step up and deal with the enemies directly to prevent civilian damage, and give vicarious satisfaction to people by executing villains, which heroes cannot bear to do.”

ruined.

Persuasion doesn’t work at all.

“I know that the goblin’s actions are a crime. Even people in the Goblin fan club do not deny that his execution of the villain is at least ‘not a crime.’ However, everyone is enthusiastic about the fact that his actions give people vicarious satisfaction and catharsis.”

“In other words…”

” Everyone fell in love with it because he killed the villains with ease. Did you know that it was very popular when goblins originally appeared wearing only masks and suits?”

“Is that really true?”

“Yes. It was only for a short time, and everyone was disappointed because the suit felt somewhat ordinary. But this time is different. With just a little modification, color change, and design change, it becomes something that can easily be called a ‘hero’.”

Public opinion about goblins was good before, but now they appear with a completely new and stylish appearance?

“The goblin was wrong.”

“What is a goblin?”

“You transformed into a strange form and fascinated people.”

Who would have thought that his exciting transformation would cause people to go crazy for goblins.

“It’s difficult. Really.”

” Right? People are going crazy…”

Moment.

I stiffened, and Yoon Yi-seon also stiffened.

“Student Lee Seon. People are excited, and it seems it’s not just students.”

“…That’s an insult to goblins.”

The drama suddenly switched to live on the TV in the restaurant.

[This is Sae-gu Square! Now, a monster that looks like a ‘goblin’ is running rampant! It is presumed that the villain took on that appearance due to an explosion of desire to imitate the goblin, and is currently called the code name ‘Doppelganger’!]

“As expected.”

Yoon Yi-seon smiled and stood up.

“They say a superstar makes both heroes and villains crazy.”

Is that what you use in times like this…?

“Teacher. I have a place to visit for a moment.”

“You don’t want to go there, do you?”

“It’s close to here, and my thoughts changed a little after hearing what the teacher said.”

Pink flames slightly sprang from the tips of Yun Yi-seon’s fingers.

“Would you like to watch the new transformation of the student council president?”

“…Not a rider?”

“…….”

Yoon Iseon just smiled with eyes curved like half moons.
