EP.9 Her Daily Life
Shin Haru.
A junior at Yeonhee University.
To most, she appears ordinary, apart from her blonde hair and a beauty that makes everyone turn and look. Not that being pretty is ordinary…
In any case, very few people know that she is actually a hero.
Apart from some agents from the Hero Association and fellow heroes, her secret hero identity is known to practically no one.
As such, she was able to enjoy a relatively normal college life.
…Of course, she was absent more often than other students, suspiciously so.
But that’s not all.
She missed the opening ceremony, orientation, membership training, after-parties, festivals…
She had virtually no participation in school events, which is why she had very few close friends.
Of course, it might have been because she intentionally kept her distance from people.
But, she did have some close juniors and seniors, so there was no real problem.
In this way, she was managing her double life as a college student and hero quite well.
Terrorist incidents are not a frequent occurrence in Seoul.
Maybe once every two weeks?
It might still seem frequent, but this world is inherently chaotic, and only that frequency was manageable.
In Korea, very powerful villains were not common… yet.
Of course, I’ve heard that in the United States, the preeminent power in the world with a population to match, there are daily terrorist attacks.
But in the US, there’s a balance maintained, thanks to the multitude of S and A-grade heroes.
There’s even a saying that in America, A-grade heroes are a dime a dozen.
Considering that South Korea has only a few A-grade heroes in total, the US is quite impressive.
Therefore, though she is an A-grade superhero, she doesn’t consider her abilities to be extraordinary.
What is her ability, after all? Aside from being very strong and able to fly, there’s nothing more.
Because that was all she could do, she had been powerless and could only watch the last time Egotistic caused trouble.
“…..”
Tap. Tap.
She tapped the glass of mango smoothie she was drinking with her finger.
Egotistic.
Initially, she was filled with rage when she saw him killing villains.
Back then, this is what she thought about Egotistic:
A brat who’s come across power and runs rampant without knowing better.
Her assumption was that:
Just an attention-seeker who thought ‘Hey, now that I’ve got power, I can just take out all the bad guys, can’t I?’ and then excitedly went on a killing spree among other villains.
Instead of formally applying to become a hero and working under the judiciary system.
He used excessive force at his own discretion, acting as if he was the embodiment of justice.
Those consumed by self-vested justice after obtaining power, revelling in the attention from the public, were out there.
Those who fell into the delusion that they were ‘heroes’ rather than just ‘self-righteous heroes’.
They were the type she despised the most.
Attention-seekers.
Her thoughts turned to conviction when she saw the murder scene with her own name, Shin Haru, written in blood by him.
Disgusting guy.
Probably just another one who gets over-excited at the sight of my face.
And what’s with all that barbaric writing in blood?
At that point, she was full of intention to throw him in prison.
…Of course, at that time, she also didn’t know how an A-grade villain living in secrecy knew where she was.
Yes, no one knew then.
That this person was so deranged.
[Yes, right now, both ships are rigged with bombs. Bang! And if it goes off… everyone on those two ships will depart without the chance to say goodbye to their loved ones.]
[You have 30 minutes.]
