Chapter 181 – ##2-Prologue II and a Hero Makes a Decision
Hero Association Headquarters.
In the country of Korea, each region has its own hero unit,
Of course, there is also a headquarters that oversees each unit.
The headquarters of the hero association, the main one, is located in the center of S city.
In the large headquarters building, ordinary people who are not awakened people also work together.
Their mission is to assist and support the heroes fighting in the field.
Starting with funding, they support the heroes in the field in various aspects such as supply, administration, law, and others,
Although he may not be an Awakener who surpasses cognition, it is not enough to be called a specialist in each field.
But.
However, that does not mean that the people working at this headquarters are only ordinary people and non-awakened people.
As the essence of the Hero Association is a group of awakened people,
There are also special departments and personnel that can never be seen in general companies or institutions.
Departments that fully use the Awakener’s abilities.
Although it has nothing to do with the combat ability that can be easily seen at a glance,
However, maybe it can bring more than a simple battle,
Such special departments exist in this Hero Association.
For example, the special ability intelligence department.
A group of heroes who make use of the abilities of the awakened people to enable espionage activities that are impossible for ordinary people.
For example, the special information processing department.
Utilizing the abilities of the Awakened, one person can perform more than several supercomputers and gather information from all over the country.
Besides this and that.
It is a department that can be seen in general institutions, but there are departments with completely different methods of utilization or activity mechanisms.
Or, there is also a special ability department unique to the Hero Association, which is never seen in general institutions.
…… Although it is an ability that cannot be obtained through simple training, there is almost no replenishment of personnel.
Anyway, since each department is making great achievements,
The Hero Association safely overcame that 【Great Disaster】 and has maintained an unshakable and unshakable position ever since.
Even if it is a fact that many people still have animosity or discomfort towards the Awoken.
Anyway.
Anyway, a certain department of the Hero Association.
One of the various abilities and special abilities departments just described.
Although the official name is different, it is commonly known as 【Ministry of Wisdom】.
Aria, the dispatched hero of the 7th division, was looking down at the order she sent to her with a subtle expression.
“…….”
“Aria? What, what are you looking at?”
As her aria her stares at her paper her in her own hand,
A fellow woman from the same department next to her pushed her face her with interest.
She then, without asking her permission her, reads the contents of the paper on her own her, frowning at her.
“Ah~ it was rejected again. Request to return.”
This aria’s fellow hero also knew her circumstances to some extent, so she seemed to know what was going on just by looking at the contents.
Arya had recently submitted a request to restore her unit her to the head of the department, and she had just received an answer to her request her.
Result is reversed.
However, it was only that Arya could not return immediately as requested in the first place, and the expected return date was also written below it.
Since that date is similar to the original scheduled dispatch date, it doesn’t make any sense that Arya made a separate request.
“Aria, this was your third request, right? Is there something urgent?”
“…… That’s not it.”
“Okay? But why?”
“…….”
When asked by her colleague, Arya simply keeps her silence.
Arya knows that she is talkative in the first place, and she knows this fellow hero too.
And that it’s only because I’ve been choosing what I can and can’t say in my head.
Knowing that she was just twice as cautious as the others, and that she wasn’t particularly ignoring herself, this fellow hero waited patiently.
She waits for herself so she puts her by her side of her.
Like her doll, Arya looked down at her orders her, then at her fellow heroes her, and then again at her orders her.
She then opened her mouth to answer as she barely came to a conclusion.
“I think something happened to our unit.”
As the department’s name suggests, these two heroes’ abilities are of the type of [Future Foresight] Or [Prophecy].
As such, things that others would dismiss as mere speculation,
If they say it, it becomes something much more credible.
“Work? What happened? Is it dangerous?”
“…… Maybe.”
“What. Specifically?”
“… Well.”
“What is that? Are you sure it was forever?”
Arya stared at her colleague’s face her, but she didn’t answer.
At that attitude, her fellow hero shook her head.
“In the first place, you are D-class, and I am C-class. Our level of foreknowledge has a hit rate of less than 3%. It would be cruel to ask if you are sure.”
“…….”
“If it’s Ariane’s unit, it’s the 7th division, right? Isn’t that Captain Rahe’s unit? Then I’m sure whatever happens will be fine! Don’t worry!”
“…….”
“Come on, let’s get in quicker than that. You should at least pretend to prophesy diligently. Of course, it wouldn’t help much if we were there.”
Arya, who had been standing there blankly, was grabbed by her arm her and led to their’workplace’.
* * *
I don’t even need to tell you what the 【Foresight Department】’s job is.
Knowing what the future or the present is not yet known.
Knowing in advance what you will know later.
Predicting what will happen in the future, in the present.
Knowing the unknown….
Wisdom is a skill that anyone can dream of, and it tends to look omnipotent, but the reality is not so easy.
Originally, the number of people with foresight is small, and there are few heroes with strong foresight.
In fact, only a handful of cases that 【Foresight Department】’s foreknowledge were useful in earnest.
Therefore, originally, only a few foresighters who could foresee the extent of a great disaster remain at the headquarters.
Other low-level forecast heroes belong to each unit across the country.
But.
Over the past few months, the Hero Association has gathered people with foresight from all over the country at this headquarters and requested foreknowledge of ‘certain matters’.
――That there is something they are looking for.
――And what kind of aftermath this thing will bring to this country in the future.
Although the expiry date is set at 1 year,
If they do not achieve satisfactory results, this deadline will surely be extended again.
It’s not just a prediction. It is “Fact”.
That’s right, that’s Arya herself ‘Born’Because it was the future.
‘… If it stays like this, it will take 1 year and 7 months, plus 13 more days, until they get the results they want….’
‘And I can’t come back until then.’
Arya was a Class D hero.
Heroes of the lower grades, including E, have a strong meaning of being newcomers in training,
If it’s D-class, it means that it’s the lowest class among heroes in real life anyway.
A mediocre hero whose abilities and achievements are almost insignificant.
Arya, however, is almost certain, and she examines the contents of the ‘premonition’ she has been given.
Originally, if it was the wisdom of a D-class hero, it would be useless, with an accuracy rate of only about 3% at the highest.
‘I did this and that to change the future I foresaw.’
‘…… But, it all seems to be a failure.’
She did n’t just submit a request for her return to her department head her, she tried her hand at everything once she could.
But none of them produced the results she hoped for.
And the situation has already reached an irreversible point….
“…… Ha.”
“Yes? Arya, did you say something?”
“… No, nothing.”
“Um~? I’ve arrived before that!”
At some point, Aria, led by her fellow hero her, has arrived at her ‘workplace’ her.
What she calls a “Workplace” Is a room with a calm atmosphere.
In that room, things like capsules are lined up, and several wires are connected to the capsules.
It is said to have been installed to increase the accuracy of foresight, but it is not particularly helpful.
But it’s a great environment to sit back and focus on your skills, and feel free to wander around to get a coffee or snack if you want.
In addition, there are various leisure facilities for a change of mood, so there is no stress at work.
To be honest, it’s a very, very comfortable environment to the point where the dispatched heroes don’t even think about going back to the base.
It’s because I get away from my daily routine and play around every day with the excuse of ‘improving work efficiency’.
That is why only Arya, who demands to return alone, is unique.
Aria is a ‘workplace’ with such a good feeling,
And she looked back at the other co-workers who were chatting about how they were going to be idle today.
‘I can’t think of any other way… I’m not even that smart…
I’m not good at being reckless like Mr. Check, or being cunning like Mr. Coco.’
‘So, it can’t be helped. Although I feel sorry for the others.’
Arya made her decision with a small sigh.
She said that now she would use her only recourse her left to her her.
She said that because she was worried about the future in many ways, she would have no choice but to use the means she had been avoiding until now.
‘It’ll be annoying later, but I can’t.’
‘I’m sure the dispatched heroes will return early, so I’m sorry but I can’t help it.’
‘Because I couldn’t change the future in any other way.’
‘Nothing but this now.’
Anyway, she has to hurry back to the 7th Division.
She becomes a nuisance to others, and her future path becomes unstable in many ways,
I still don’t know how the future will change after that.
There was no time to anticipate or foresee it one by one.
The 7th Division she had been dispatched to had already been captured by Unit 13.
Danger looms in the 7th division she loves.
‘I have to do something.’
Already Spade and other members,
I am sure that even the leader, Rahe, has fallen beyond control.
Arya makes a firm decision….
