“…You, what kind of person are you?!”
The man, shouting from atop a tower of chairs, was directed at me.
If you ask who he is, it would be only right for me to inform you.
Standing calmly, I shrugged my shoulders and opened my mouth to speak.
“My name is…”
I hesitated mid-sentence.
Wait, isn’t it a bad idea to reveal I’m Egoistic here?
I’d be embarrassed to say it myself, but I’m quite a celebrity in South Korea.
I’ve been in the news maybe five or six times.
…Of course, I did broadcast my terror acts live without waiting for the news.
Anyway, revealing my name here would serve no benefit.
The moment I say my name, he’ll realize that I can use telekinesis and teleportation.
So, I had no choice but to make a U-turn when I was about to give my name.
“My name… is none of your business. Let’s just say I’m a passing citizen.”
I said, smirking.
The man’s face contorted. Judging by my relaxed demeanor and calm tone, he must’ve thought that I am stronger than expected.
To be honest, if I were him, I’d be taken aback too if a clownish mask-wearing guy came up and started needling me during a terror attack.
And this was my strategy all along.
To make the opponent overestimate me!
A strong person might let their guard down and then strike unexpectedly, but the fight of the underdog is different.
The underdog must inflate their own image, making themselves appear much more substantial than their actual abilities.
That way, the opponent is put on guard, and the more cautious they are, the more time I can stall.
That’s why I drew their attention with clapping from the start.
Honestly speaking, I don’t really know what this Monkey Wrench guy does. In fact, I only know about the enemy I fight with Stardust in Seoul. I hardly know about events in Busan below, which Nordic Ice Lady will handle, presumably.
So, I only just managed to look up this guy’s abilities in secret. Superhuman strength, albeit a weaker kind.
…Superhuman strength is a bit troublesome. If he tries to bend my spine, I can simply teleport away, but the problem is my own offenses.
Superhuman strength implies physical enhancement, so ordinary bullets or bombs won’t even scratch him. Without special weapons, it’s a bit difficult to handle him. His innards are also durable, so it’s uncertain if poison gas would have any effect.
