Chapter 64 – 64. Hero Association
64. Hero Association
If there is a Hunter Association in Gangnam, there is a Hero Association in Gangbuk.
I arrived in front of the Korea Hero Association headquarters located in the middle of Jongno in Yoo Ji-ah’s car.
A building with over 200 floors, bigger than the Hunter Association. There were people walking around the building in various costumes.
“Are all these guys heroes?”
I asked Yoo Ji-ah as I got out of the car.
I knew it wasn’t. But she needs to play a great demon who doesn’t know much about the human world.
She replied, putting her car key in her pocket.
“No, no. Most of them are sidekicks because there are only 60 heroes in Korea.”
When I came out of the parking lot, people’s eyes were focused on me for a moment. I couldn’t help it because my appearance was a little weird.
But soon the interest faded. It’s because there are so many unique looking guys around the building.
“They’re all wearing bizarre costumes. Come to think of it, it seems like you were wearing some kind of weird mask at first too.”
“That, that’s because personality is important for heroes and sidekicks like us…”
“Individuality?”
“Yes… Recognition is very important to us… There is less aggro in plain clothes, so that’s why everyone is wearing weird clothes like that.”
Well, this was a story I knew. The reason I came here without taking off my mask in the first place was because I knew this fact.
The shape of the devil made of a bizarre mask is a little bit of a bitch, but among the Hero Association members, especially among the sidekicks, there were occasional guys who drew aggro with bizarre costumes like this, so I expected that I would not be suspicious unless I did something unusual. .
If you get screwed, you can just take off the mask.
It wasn’t that I just put on a mask and came out without thinking.
Really.
“Because we do things related to people rather than catching monsters, public awareness is very important…”
As I said, in the case of heroes, it is important to manage awareness because they are also connected to the entertainment business.
That’s why they wear clothes that cling to their bodies, armor that makes it difficult to stand still, wear doll masks, and all sorts of idiot-like outfits.
It is to imprint oneself in people’s minds by using unusual costumes.
“One of the conditions for being promoted from sidekick to hero is recognition. No matter how good your skills are, if people don’t know, they won’t promote you to a hero…”
Conversely, even if your skills are a bit low, you can become a hero right away as long as you are famous. It’s a little different from the hunter industry, where you just have to kill monsters well.
“So, are you a bit famous?”
“Yes? Oh, that’s okay. My name and hero names come up a lot on the internet! I’ve appeared on TV a few times… In my name. There is even a minor gallery and fan club!”
‘I’ve never seen it before.’
I hadn’t even heard of a sidekick named Yoo Ji-ah. Aren’t you kidding me?
Well, it could be because I don’t know about heroes, but I’m not really interested in sidekicks.
In the first place, even if there were famous idols, there were many cases in which people who were not interested in idols did not know about them. Same goes for side kicks.
“Hmm, being famous increases your chances of becoming a hero. This is it.”
“Yes, it is.”
“You said you wanted to be a hero too, right? So, would you like to become more famous?”
“Yes? Yes… Yes… Joe?”
“I thought of a way to make you twice as famous as you are now, no, ten times as famous. Would you like to try it?”
“Ten, ten times? What is it… ?”
Yoo Ji-ah, tempted by the devil, looked at me with a tempting expression.
In her eyes, I am Helkas, the great devil of hell. Thinking that I can lightly manipulate the human mind, she looked at me with a thrilling expression.
She seems to think that she can finally get the price she has been pushing for until now. I said looking down at her full of anticipation.
“You’re posting a video on the internet where you get stabbed like a dog by this body. Without the mosaics. Did I mention there is a fan cafe? I would love to put it on there.”
“… Yes?”
“Will it become famous not only in Korea but also abroad?”
“Oh no!”
Her face turns red and Yoo Ji-ah shakes her hand. I giggled and touched her butt.
By the way, this guy was a famous sidekick, right?
When I thought so, I saw something again. She means the cock is standing up.
I’ll take a picture later, make a mosaic, and upload it to Yoo Ji-ah’s gallery.
“Let’s go in first.”
“Yes yes.”
Yoo Ji-ah takes me to the inside of the association building. I followed her into her building.
“Ah, Beast Girl? Long time no see!”
As soon as I entered, a man pretended to know Yu Ji-a by bowing her head. What is this kid? Do you know kid
A chubby face and a height that doesn’t look 170 degrees. I looked at the guy who looked like a dick.
Anyway, Beast Girl. The name is so corny. I’d rather call her a bitch.
“Who… ?”
“It’s the Lightning Sword that I used to sidekick with Black General the other day… Have you already forgotten?”
“Ah, I’m busy these days…”
Yoo Ji-ah didn’t seem to have much interest in men. I continued to talk to Yujia without even noticing her Lightning Sword or whatever.
“Haha, not long ago I caught a B-level villain and my performance score went up a lot. I received a lot of performance money. Would you like to go for a meal? I will shoot.”
“No, I am busy.”
“Oh, you can choose the expensive one. I got a lot of money…”
“I have a group.”
“Are you together?”
The boy looked at me. The guy who was surprised to see me. Soon he pretended nothing was wrong, cleared his throat, and then started talking to me.
Baby, are you scared? I did look a bit scary. When I put on a mask and look in the mirror, I am sometimes surprised.
“Hey, who are you… ?”
“That’s it…”
“It’s a rookie sidekick.”
I interrupted Yoo Ji-ah, who was trying to explain me, and said to the man.
But when I said I was a newcomer, his expression began to change into something triumphant.
He suddenly took on an arrogant attitude, and then he lowered his voice to me.
“Okay? I am the 2nd class sidekick, Lightning Sword. But these days, newcomers don’t even say hello to their seniors?”
What is this asshole
The Lightning Sword patted my shoulder proudly. Did this bastard suddenly turn around?
I glanced at Yoo Ji-ah. Yujia was stomping her feet with a puzzled look on her face.
I asked Yu-ah.
“Why is he suddenly like this?”
“That, that…”
Yujia lifting her heels. I lowered her head and positioned her so she could whisper in my ear.
“Sah, there are grades 1 to 4 in sidekicks… But there’s a bit of a hierarchy between these sidekicks…”
“Okay?”
This, this, this was a gathering place for kkondaes, right?
I glanced at the man. Lightning Sword glared at her with her eyes wide open.
The guy said, ‘Hey, this can’t work.’ Then he smirked at Yoo Ji-ah.
“Miss Beast Girl. Looks like this new guy is a bit undereducated. If you don’t mind, can I teach you a little bit?”
“Then, Yujia, what level are you?’
I ignored the man and said to Yoo Ji-ah. Yoo Ji-ah quickly replied.
“It’s 1, 1st grade.”
“Okay? So, aren’t you higher than him?”
“Yes.”
“Then what are you doing? I’m not chasing that bastard.”
“… Uh?”
Lightning Sword makes a puzzled expression. He must have felt that the relationship between me and Yoo Ji-ah was unusual.
No matter who sees it, Yoo Ji-ah is coming out to me with a low profile. She noticed that something was going wrong, and the Lightning Sword was sweating, and she said to Yoo Ji-ah.
“That… Mr. Beast Girl? Isn’t this guy a new sidekick… ?”
“It’s okay, don’t talk to me and go.”
“Yes?”
“Didn’t you hear me say get out of here?”
A cold congratulatory order. I stood next to Yoo Ji-ah and smirked.
“I-over there… Oh, I see.”
The embarrassed man straightened his back and disappeared. I giggled and put my hand on Yoo Ji-ah’s shoulder.
Hehe, you seem to be doing well in your own way?”
“Lol…”
Gently, she patted her breasts with her fingers. Yoo Ji-ah hesitated with a puzzled expression.
I took Yoo Ji-ah and headed to the Hero Association lobby. Lobby full of people.. But not much to see.
“By the way, you came to the association, but what are you planning to do now… ?”
I know. What do you do now
It actually came, but it was worse than I thought. I thought I would be able to meet famous heroes, but I couldn’t see them pecking their noses.
All that could be seen were ordinary people who came to ask for help from the association, association employees, and sidekicks.
‘Right, shall we go there?’
“Come to think of it, I think I heard that there is a training room dedicated to heroes here. Guide them there.”
“The training room… ? Why there…”
“Guide me.”
“Ah, I see!
I didn’t know if I could meet the heroes in the training room. I asked Yoo Ji-ah to escort her to her training room.
It’s a place that ordinary people can’t enter, but with the first-class sidekick Yoo Ji-ah, you should be able to enter.
Yoo Ji-ah walks with a nervous expression like a terrorist holding a time bomb. Still afraid of what I might do.
In fact, I can’t do anything right now because I’m in a fucking state, hehe.
I followed Yoo Ji-ah to the hero training room.
