At that time, Busan Hero Association – Association President’s Office.

“That’s S-class dignity.”

Association President Jeong Ki-jo smiled in relief as he saw lightning flashing on the TV screen in front.

“I don’t know anything else, but I’m glad I can trust the Emperor, really.”

“Do you mean that others cannot be trusted?”

“It’s not like other heroes.”

Jeong Ki-jo, who clicked his tongue and took a cue from the Vice President’s words, raised a mug containing a black tea bag and pointed his chin at the screen.

“Is there anyone else suitable for a defensive battle other than someone who can accurately strike down villains who come into range like that?”

“There are people who build ice walls and people who build steel walls.”

“The person who builds the ice wall is holding the corner, and the person who builds the steel wall is often broken by stronger people. …If you build a wall of lightning like that, no one can move.”

After lightly sipping black tea, the president of the association put down the mug and pointed to the top of his head.

“If lightning falls on your head, how can you stop it?”

“And then when you die….”

“It’s okay because the lightning strikes just enough to not kill everyone. Even if you are hit by natural lightning, you can survive even if you are only E-class, so why wouldn’t those with special abilities be able to withstand lightning made of magical power?”

Natural lightning and supernatural lightning.

If you ask which one is stronger, it’s definitely the former.

The lightning of this ability is ultimately just a magical attack with the nature of lightning, and if you have enough magical energy, you can cancel out or withstand the attack.

“When I was young, there were villains who were hit by a million volts every day.”

“I still do that these days.”

“…Oh, really? I wonder how it didn’t die and is still going strong.”

“If a person is struck by lightning and dies in a cartoon for all audiences or for ages 7 and up, is that a cartoon for children?”

“That’s right. Ha, I never thought it would come out these days.”

The president of the association stared at the mug for a long time, lost in thought as if reminiscing about the past.

“When I was young, I just thought everything in the world would go well. I thought that whether the school transformed, a robot rose from the ground, or a train transformed, a super robot would appear and defeat the villains.”

“…I’m sorry. I got there well.”

“I’m not saying this because I wanted sympathy. Don’t worry about it.”

“But what you are saying in hopes that you will understand-”

“Keuhum. Rather, is Nutcrasher’s body safe now?”

The president of the association cleared his throat and changed the topic.

“I guess no one infiltrated the building?”

“No. Six Class A agents are secretly hiding at the scene. No one has yet succeeded in entering the hospital.”

“Thank goodness. Because the number is smaller than expected.”

“…Isn’t it thanks to them?”

With a stern expression, the Vice President opened the data on the tablet and handed it to the President.

“This is intelligence received from various places. It’s definitely them, seeing as they commit such merciless acts.”

“…….”

“Association Chairman, thanks to them, we eliminated thieves coming from overseas, so the matter about them-”

“A villain is a villain.”

The president of the association displayed the video on the tablet screen.

-Ugh! Save me!

-It won’t save you. Because that’s me.

-What are you!

-A person who eliminates all those who try to take away Korea’s resources.

Suddenly.

In the CCTV footage, a grim reaper-like being violently wielded a knife and cut down a person with superpowers who resisted.

-My name is King Yuldo.

Magical power was sparkling on the blade, and the man’s face reflected in the magic was stained blacker than the hat and coat of arms.

“…Let’s relax the regulations on people like that?”

“Haha, President of the Association. But thanks to them, we didn’t have blood on our hands…”

“Even if it’s a hassle, even if it’s dangerous, do you mean to acknowledge and release those who kill people like that?”

The Vice President bowed his head at the sharp voice of the Association President.

“I like that I will do anything for the national interest. Since the country is already operating its troops in that way, we can’t say we shouldn’t do it at all. But…aren’t you saying you want to use them as a force for the Hero Association?”

“Yes.”

The vice president adjusted his posture and lowered his voice.

“Chairman. The Hero Association is an independent organization separate from the government…”

“I’ve already heard that story dozens of times.”

“Please listen one more time. The Hero Association is an international organization. Even though it is Korea, there is no need to worry about Korea. Don’t all S-class heroes belong to the Hero Association?”

“If you ask them to choose between the country and the international association, S-level students will most likely choose the association.”

“So, the idea is to make those who choose the association on our side in advance. If the day comes that the government imposes martial law…”

“Bullshit.”

The president of the association cut off the vice president’s words with a single cut.

“Don’t go anywhere and say things like that. If the government imposes martial law, it is when the Hero Association or another organization wants to privatize the S-class villains and become an armed group. Do you want the Hero Association to be the target of martial law?”

“But can’t we remain subservient and oppressed like a subordinate institution in this country forever? This is the era of special abilities. No more government…”

“Just do your work. Just then, I received a call from the Emperor.”

The Vice President lowered his head with his mouth shut, and the President of the Association operated the Taegeuk Watch to connect with the Emperor the Terrible.

“Okay, what do you think?”

[The arrangement is complete. I will check the rest inside the hospital.]

“Are you okay?”

[All circuits were connected to CCTV near the hospital. As soon as an unidentified person with supernatural abilities appears, they can shoot out electricity indoors. The fortification is complete.]

“Then the answer has been found. I heard there is an emergency generator in the basement of the hospital, so please use that too.”

[All right. We will contact you if any problems occur.]

Pop.

After the stiff report was finished, the president of the association turned his head back to the vice president.

“…Yes, isn’t it fortunate that I have at least one friend who works so hard? huh? I know what your worries are. Aren’t you worried that the S class will decrease?”

“…President of the Association. I am anxious.”

The vice president of the association pointed to eight portraits hanging on the wall with a frightened look on his face.

“After Baek Seol-hee said that she was planning to retire, I am worried that those photos will suddenly fall off one by one.”

“…Anyway, would you suddenly retire like that?”

“Isn’t it something that young people don’t know about? Even if it’s just a matter of right now, if you suddenly become possessed by a man and say you want to retire while pregnant…”

“Don’t worry about that.”

The president of the association nodded with a face full of relief.

“Lord, I don’t have a boyfriend.”

“……Isn’t it possible that there is an adulterous man? Like anyone.”

“There is nothing like that. I’m talking about the Brain Emperor.”

The president of the association whispered in a really low voice.

“It’s Mosol.”

* * *

“Thank you for your hard work, Miss Thunder.”

“What, this is nothing.”

The Emperor, Kim Yun-ji watched the electric shock fired outside the hospital on CCTV and half-heartedly responded to the hospital director’s greeting.

“At this rate, no one will target the body. Then.”

“Oh, maybe you could take a break….”

“Since I can’t go outside, can I borrow the employee lounge for a while?”

“No, no. The Emperor has come, so is that possible? Coincidentally, there is an empty VIP hospital room. Dr. Kim will guide you here.”

“…I think you look alike.”

“Haha, it’s my son.”

The hospital director introduced his son to the Emperor and patted his son on the shoulder with a friendly smile.

“I turn 30 this year…”

“Just tell me the location later. In case there is an intruder, I will go underground to check on the body.”

“……Of course.”

The Emperor left the ward, which was decorated as a situation room, and made his way through the crowd to the basement.

“Wow, sister! It’s cool!”

“Yes, yes. Since my sister is working right now, I will sign it after work.”

“You don’t have to sign!”

“…Oh, yes.”

“Just smile! You look like an angel when you smile!”

“Ah, yes. You are truly lifting people up and putting them down.”

Smiling at a boy in a wheelchair with a fur hat on his head, the Emperor went down to the basement through the emergency stairs.

“…….”

There is no one around.

In the first place, the basement is currently a restricted area and people are not allowed to enter.

Jerk, jerk.

The Emperor walked along the corridor and arrived at the morgue.

As soon as I put the Taegeuk Watch on the door, the door with a flashing red light opened to the left and right, and the Emperor entered the morgue and stretched out his hand toward the body of Nuts Crasher in the center.

Slurp.

The white cloth was pulled away, revealing Nutcrasher’s face.

His head, which had completely lost blood, was severely dented on one side.

“…….”

Sigh.

The door was closed.

And at the same time, there was a ‘click’ sound from the door along with the sound of something ‘cracking’.

“…….”

After closing his eyes wide, Emperor Lei stretched out his hand forward-

[What are you trying to do?]

“…….”

As I was about to do something, I withdrew my hand from someone who appeared behind me.

“What are you here to do? Confirmed kill? Are you trying to kill someone who is already dead again?”

[I’m the one who wants to ask that, Brain Emperor.]

Jerk, jerk.

[I wonder if there is a need to create such a complicated situation, but I have more important issues than that.]

The owner of the voice stood in front of Nutcrasher’s body, on the other side of the Emperor, and made eye contact with the Emperor.

[What are you trying to do by electrolyzing the body?]

“……!”

[Not just to mutilate the body, but to burn it so that not even a trace of bone remains?]

“……You.”

[Anyway.]

“……?”

The goblin drew a circle with his finger.

[Instead, I guess I should take what I deserve.]

“If it is hush money….”

[Name value.]

“…….”

The Emperor’s expression became distorted.

[You killed someone using the name of a goblin.]

“What can I pay for it?”

[that.]

The goblin pointed at the Emperor with his hand.

[Of all the things you have, the most valuable and precious thing.]
