## Chapter 6 – A-Class Hero Yoon Do-Hwa’s Elegant Daily Life (2)
***
In the middle of a major avenue cutting through the heart of S City.
“Kyaaaaaaaah!!!”
“It’s a villain!!! Uwaaaaaaah!!!”
A man stood blocking the path of people returning home after finishing their busy day.
A beard and hair that looked like they hadn’t been groomed in years.
A fly-like gas mask covering the face hidden beneath the hair.
And within it, a sinister smile that suggested he was about to commit a great atrocity.
“Heh heh heh… I’ll let you feel what it’s like to be suffocated… Keh keh keh…”
The man, hunched over, wildly swung a hose connected to a large tank on his back.
An unidentified gas spewed from the hose, indiscriminately engulfing people.
Citizens blocked their noses and mouths, fleeing from the sudden appearance of the villain,
or closed their car windows and quietly waited for a hero to arrive.
“Kehek!! Kehaak! I… I can’t breathe…!”
However, those who couldn’t cope with the sudden situation complained of dizziness,
and those directly exposed to the gas fainted, foaming at the mouth.
A man with the ability to leak toxic gas from various parts of his body.
The villain ‘Green Mist’ was gathering that gas and quietly appearing in the middle of the city to carry out a gas terror attack.
“Stop! Villain ‘Green Mist’!”
A hero appeared before him, as if to inflict the curse he had been given onto others.
Orange hair and eyes that looked like flames were burning, just like his hero name.
A-Class Hero ‘Ignition’ appeared before Green Mist and stopped him.
“It’s a hero! A hero has come!”
“Everyone! Get away from here first! It’s dangerous!”
She evacuated the citizens to a place where the gas hadn’t spread and came all the way here.
“Tch… A hero, huh? Keh keh keh… Looks like a rookie at first glance.”
Most villains who act alone often operate individually.
And such villains tend to run away or become frightened when a hero appears.
But Green Mist didn’t bat an eye even after seeing Ignition.
“I will eliminate you so that you can no longer harm people!”
“Keh keh keh… Can you really do that?”
Unlike Ignition’s confident words about eliminating him, there was an uneasy expression somewhere.
Green Mist saw that uneasiness.
Green Mist was a veteran villain who had been arrested and escaped for over 10 years.
He had seen the screams of so many citizens and the despair of heroes.
When it came to analyzing the expressions and words of the heroes he faced,
it was no exaggeration to say that he had abilities beyond that of an expert.
“Will you stop that mouth only after you’ve burned enough?”
“Heh heh… I can see everything. In that anxious look on your face.”
Ignition flinched for a moment as if Green Mist’s words had hit the nail on the head.
She herself knew very well that her expression wasn’t as confident as usual.
The fact that she had been helplessly robbed of her virginity by Combatant No. 505 near the university the day before.
The fact that she couldn’t control not only her abilities and movements but even her words.
It was a great shock to her, who had never faltered in her hero activities.
Even before the shock had subsided, another villain analyzed that fact.
But Ignition had to pull herself together.
She was a hero who protected the city.
The thought that she shouldn’t be trapped by a weak heart.
Ignition bit her tongue hard as if punching herself in the face for being momentarily anxious.
“Haaaaaaah!!!!!”
– Shooaaaaaaah-
A stream of flames flew in front of Green Mist, who was snickering at Ignition’s expression.
Green Mist quickly jumped up and barely avoided the stream of flames.
“Hmph. Dangerous ability.”
“You shouldn’t be relieved just because you dodged one stream, you know?”
The stream of flames that passed between his legs split apart behind him,
soaring into the sky and covering Green Mist’s back like raindrops.
“Kuaaaaagh!!!”
“What about my expression? You should manage your own expression!”
Thanks to the gas tank on his back, he didn’t take much damage,
but the fire clinging to his clothes and long hair was enough to cause Green Mist pain.
“Kueueue… Uaaaaaaaah!!!”
– Chiieeeeeeeeeeeek-!!!
Green Mist, excited by the pain, stretched out the hose and sprayed gas at Ignition.
– Whoosh-
“Haa!”
Ignition, seeing the direction of the moving hose, jumped high with the propulsion of the flames.
She soared to a height that would be at least three stories of a building in an instant.
“What… what is it?”
“Take this!!!”
Ignition’s kick, with flames wrapped around the tip of her foot, flew from above the head of the flustered Green Mist.
– Ku-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwahng-!!!
Green Mist failed to react to the quick flame kick.
The kick, engulfed in flames and exploding from a height of over 10 meters, struck his back and head directly.
“K… eugh…”
The gas in the broken tank made a weak sound as it leaked out.
Unless a large amount of gas was compressed and sprayed, it wouldn’t be able to exert its power,
so even if the gas in the tank leaked out, it would quickly dissipate and disappear into the air.
“Da… damn it…”
Green Mist’s ugly face was revealed after his gas mask was broken.
His face, stained with sweat and grime, was covered in blood, making him look gruesome.
“Hey. What did you say about my expression earlier? That you could see everything?”
“Kueueue… I… I’m being defeated…!”
His dangerous ability to spew toxic gas and his experience as a villain weren’t very helpful.
No matter how much he stimulated Ignition and touched her emotions,
it was difficult for Green Mist to subdue Ignition with his combat abilities.
Ignition’s weapon was the simple yet infinitely versatile ability 〈Ignition〉.
She was not only capable of emitting flames, but also possessed power and speed through propulsion.
It was true that he had gained a lot of experience as a villain for a long time,
but the fact that he had repeatedly been arrested and escaped probably meant that he was a ‘subduable villain’.
“The… the hero won!!!”
“Thank you!! Hero-nim!!!”
“Waaaaaaaah!!!”
A-Class Hero Ignition stood confidently and 멋있게 (coolly/impressively) in front of the villain who had fallen while grabbing his head.
Those who had been saved by her all sent her praise and cheers.
“That expression… it looks like it will be broken someday….”
***
That night after defeating the villain Green Mist.
‘Ignition’ Yoon Do-hwa was waiting for Yeon Ji-woo in front of Sunnam University.
‘Why isn’t Ji-woo coming… It’s almost time…’
The time Combatant No. 505 had mentioned was 10 PM.
The time displayed on her cell phone was 9:48 PM.
If Ji-woo didn’t come to the meeting place quickly,
Do-hwa would unknowingly move her body and go to the hotel that Combatant No. 505 had mentioned.
– Tting-
[ Ji-woo: I think I might be a bit late because I suddenly got a call from a far place. ]
[ I think I’ll be able to go around 10:20. (9:50 PM) ]
“Huh? What? Late… She’s late?”
[ Do-hwa: You can’t do that! It’s a promise! ]
[ Ji-woo: Why? You were late yesterday too, Unnie. I’ll be there soon, so go ahead first. ]
“Seriously… You’re never helpful when I need you…! Ah!”
As if calculating the time it would take to get to the hotel exactly,
her body began to move the moment she desperately tried to call Ji-woo.
“Plea… Please… I have to stop…!”
Do-hwa was startled by the sudden movement of her body and fell over.
But her body quickly got up again and walked quickly towards the hotel.
And before long, she saw the face of Combatant No. 505 standing in front of the hotel.
‘No… No… Ji-woo…! Please… Help me!’
She was scared.
She was more confident and 멋있는 (cool/impressive) than anyone else in front of other villains, Hero Ignition,
but for some reason, she couldn’t do anything when she stood in front of Combatant No. 505.
Do-hwa remembered the words of Green Mist, whom she had subdued a few hours earlier.
That he could see the anxious expression.
But the expression she was making now was slightly different from the former.
Her face was flushed and red, and she was breathing roughly.
And her lips were glistening with saliva, and her eyes were somehow unfocused.
Her expression, which should have been full of anxiety, was somehow different in front of Combatant No. 505.
“Oh! You came on time again today. You did a great job.”
Combatant No. 505 smiled and took on a kind attitude that was different from yesterday’s aggressive attitude.
As if nothing had happened yesterday.
“Haha! You must have been looking forward to it quite a bit?”
“I… It’s not like that.”
Combatant No. 505 smiled at Do-hwa’s disheveled expression.
She bit her lip tightly to somehow fix her disheveled expression.
“Let’s go up. I’ve already checked you in.”
Do-hwa wanted to shake off Combatant No. 505’s hand, which was grabbing hers and leading her, and run away.
She wanted to shout for help to the hotel lobby staff right away.
But she had no choice but to follow him obediently.
Combatant No. 505 had the highest priority to move her body.
