At that time, in the basement of the Busan Hero Association.

“Miss Yoon I-seon. I’m sorry for calling you like this when you were busy with final exams.”

“No, Mr. Association President. I came here after studying for the final exam.”

Yoon I-seon was called to the Hero Association.

It was not a sudden call, but a scheduled call.

“And I was able to come happily thanks to Irin who talked to me while I was there.”

“Are we already friends?”

“Yes. The age difference isn’t that much, and we’ve seen each other often since we were in the A class. We became friends through this opportunity.”

“I have a lot of questions about many things.”

Baridegi, Taeirin took a quick look at Yoon Iseon’s body.

After looking in front of the two, the president of the association felt like he knew why Taeirin had become more interested in Yoon Isun than before.

iced coffee.

Even if it is the same S class, this S class is an index that evaluates overall combat power.

Even within the S class, there is only a difference in magical power.

“President of the Association?”

“Keuhum. I thought for a moment about how I should introduce the place I’m going to introduce today.”

“I don’t think so…”

“No.”

The two women did not pay much attention to the association president’s attitude of lying calmly.

What’s important is that Yun I-seon was invited to Busan today.

“You said there was something you wanted to show me?”

“That’s right. The material I will show you from now on is top-secret material that can only be viewed by S grade. It’s a secret among secrets that shouldn’t be revealed to anyone.”

The president of the association pointed to the wall of the president’s office to Iseon Yoon.

“As you can see in front of Ms. Yoon I-seon, there are pictures of S-class heroes hanging in the association president’s office like this. From 8th place Armored Taejo to 1st place Gwangikgong.”

“Yes, yes. I have one too. Did you increase it with the hope that there would be more S-class empty spaces below?”

“…huh.”

The president of the association, who was about to continue speaking, swallowed his saliva with an touched face.

“It’s been a long time since an S-class person didn’t interrupt me mid-sentence and even asked questions.”

“Who else was there that made you so moved?”

“I called you here to talk about that S-class. …S-classes that don’t exist anymore.”

Click.

When the president of the association snapped his fingers, the space under the wall opened to the left and right.

“……!”

And there were numerous photos hanging below.

The photos, each color coded, were hung in frames of the same size as the portraits of the eight people above, but each was divided into three categories.

one.

A photo of the portrait.

“These are S-class heroes who died in the line of duty. There will be some familiar faces.”

“Yes…. Some people passed away last year. And this one….”

“Exiles. If you naturalize in another country, leave Korea to immigrate through marriage, or leave Korea altogether.”

one.

Below the portrait, a red

“Everyone knows this face, right?”

“…Sure. It’s a familiar face. There are active villains, some are missing, and some are unclear whether they are alive or dead.”

“That’s right. The problem is that the number is…a bit high.”

In addition to the 8 active duty personnel.

Other than the dead.

The number of people whose Taegeukgi was changed to a different national flag or had a question mark on it exceeded 30 people.

“It’s really funny. If we collect the Korean S-class heroes spread across other countries, probably at least 70% of the S-class heroes in the top 50 in the world are Korean.”

“In terms of nationality, they are not Korean.”

“…That’s right.”

At Yoon I-seon’s point, the president of the association smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“Do you know why they left?”

“…Isn’t it because the government keeps harassing you? That’s what I heard.”

“That’s right. I bullied you. I was harassed so terribly. Even in the case of Cheonma, who immediately went over to China, her parents were pushed into a situation where they had to quit their jobs. I actually quit.”

“With patriotism….”

“Okay. patriotism. They harassed people with the very grand logic that if you are not patriotic, you are a traitor.”

Taeyrin, who had been quietly listening, spoke sarcastically and approached a picture frame.

“We deliberately pushed the heroes into extreme situations and then decided to leave in Korea only those who could overcome those extreme situations. Who would want to stay in Korea when they treat people like they are called?”

“Since Ms. Lee Seon is especially an adult, I will tell it like it is.”

The president of the association spoke in a serious voice and pointed to the particularly strange number of women in the frame.

“The government figures, including Sunshade, will attack student Lee Seon. The expression to rush here can be replaced with the expression to giggle in vulgar language.”

“Are you saying you’re flirting with me?”

“To flirt is a fairly purified expression. Well, if I may say so…”

“Why do you keep repeating things, President of the Association? Sister, can I just say it?”

“Yes.”

“Everyone is going to make a fuss to get you pregnant.”

Yun Yi-sun’s expression immediately distorted at Tae-ilin’s explicit words.

“Me, pregnant?”

“Yes. My sister is 20 years old and an adult. Whether it’s a celebrity or anyone else, including the people of the sun, or a man with A-level talent, they’ll try to get my sister pregnant. To make an S-class child give birth.”

“…….”

“I know. Disgusting. There are people here who left Korea because they couldn’t bear it.”

Taeyrin smiled bitterly, pointing at the photos of numerous women.

“It’s not enough to make a public courtship on the person’s SNS, once the address is specified, they go directly to the house, act like General Hwang, and ask for marriage. If your parents own a store, they go to the store and make a marriage proposal, and if they reject it, they bother you until they accept it.”

“It’s less so now, but it was really extreme until 4 years ago.”

“Why are you trying to get me pregnant?”

Yun Yi-seon barely opened her mouth in a stiff voice.

“Whether it’s pregnancy or marriage, I’m going to have a child when I find someone I love at the age I want, so why are you forcing me to get pregnant?”

“Because they think it’s ‘efficient.’ They were worried that they had to have children at a young age, otherwise, they wouldn’t be born with S-level abilities just because they were old.”

“Crazy. What if they don’t get pregnant…”

“So. I feel the same way as you. After three years, I too will gather public opinion and make an uproar asking me to get pregnant right away.”

“Irene, you are the president’s granddaughter.”

“It’s a separate issue from the president. Rather, since she is the president’s granddaughter, they will put pressure on her by setting an example for the people.”

Taeyrin placed her hand on her stomach and bit her lower lip.

“…On my part, Taejo is working really hard, so the sparks don’t fly to me, but sooner or later, people will secretly tell me. Are you planning on being patriotic?”

“If that happens, get out of the place. And at any time, insult anyone who comes to us and asks us to be patriotic. I can listen to your complaints.”

“…So, even if I am told to be patriotic, I am not to go into exile?”

“That’s right. And above all….”

Bang bang.

The president of the association pointed to portraits hanging on a black background.

“No matter how much you don’t want to hear those things and are annoyed, don’t become a villain.”

“…….”

The last category.

A case in Korea where a talented person turned into a villain.

“It’s a little unfair. The person who makes the heroes make extreme choices is alive and well, but the heroes actually have to suffer like this.”

“…That’s not it, sister.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“It’s not like he’s alive and well. Dead.”

Taeyrin pointed to an empty picture frame with a calm face.

There was only one unoccupied framed portrait of an S-class hero with no pictures inside and only his name left there.

“Tae…Yoohyeon?”

“Yes. Tae Yu-hyeon. That.”

The corners of Tailin’s eyes trembled.

“My younger brother was sold to North Korea as soon as he was born. …It was S-class.”

“What?”

“There was a secret that was not known to the private sector. The secret is that a spy secretly sent a nuclear missile-grade child to North Korea for North Korea.”

“What…. That’s ridiculous…”

“There is no way in this world that makes no sense. It’s reality. And….”

Crackling.

Taylin clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

“The people in question were the father and mother of me and Taejo.”

“……What?”

“Mom, to be exact.”

Taeyrin trembled as if she was disgusted at even saying it out of her mouth.

“There was a crazy woman who gave birth to King Taejo with me, and later gave birth to her youngest child, and then handed the child over to North Korea because he had S-level talent.”

A being who is not even a person with special abilities.

This novel is a soup novel.

And in order to stimulate Gukppong, we want to show the most Korean things as great things.

That part can be said to be a positive stimulus.

If it is a direction that promotes patriotism and makes people feel proud of their country, then it can be done.

However, perhaps in order to provide a piecemeal device to stimulate Gukbbong, the author created a very stimulating setting for injecting Gukbbong.

Rather than standing tall on your own.

The story was told in a way that belittled others and stimulated resistance.

Beyond the protagonist taking on heroines from each country, the protagonist made the reader feel a sense of catharsis.

Half day. Half a day. Destruction.

These three elements were used provocatively to blend into the actual setting.

He is a descendant of a pro-Japanese family.

While studying in China, I received political and economic support from the Red Party of China, as well as support from a violent group called the Bodyguards.

Lastly, there is a ‘woman’ who committed a terrible act in North Korea to strengthen her political position.

“Name, Min Ji-young. Mother of Armored Taejo and Baridegi Tairin. She sold her S-class baby to North Korea.”

and.

“She died.”

With the collapse of North Korea, an explosion occurred in Pyongyang.

“She died, but her ideas remain and shake the foundation of this country.”

Min Ji-young’s theory.

“The idea is that the higher a woman’s ability level is, the more likely she is to have a child every year, thereby increasing the number of people with this ability.”

Min Ji-young is dead, but her thoughts still remain in this world.

“They say we should have at least one child sooner before we get older and give birth.”
