Chapter 478 – 254 Megacorp Hero Association
As the world changes, it hurts less when a bullet hits you gently. The Hero Association began to emerge when people who could only get scratched once appeared.
I don’t know how the Hero Association works in other cities, though. In Sky City, where the city’s power is generally strong, it is an area somewhere. Divide into areas and hand out requests. A method of resolving the request through the hero belonging to the association.
Even though Sky City’s own number of heroes is small, it is so concentrated that there are at least three other hero associations in the same neighborhood,
Sky is more often seen attacking heroes belonging to other hero associations rather than stopping monster waves that suddenly pop up or fighting villains who kidnap people as hero associations directly run by large corporations intervene in a franchise style. The situation of the City Hero Association.
There are quite a few people who say that the heroes who are supposed to contribute to maintaining the security of Sky City bickering with each other is just like a gang fight… Still, it seems that the hero teams that were fighting each other to get a request join forces when a more valuable target appears in front of them. Therefore, Sky City does not touch the system.
Depending on the region and the number of heroes belonging to it. Sky City’s hero association system checks the affiliation of heroes who meet the conditions suitable for performing requests and tries to distribute them as equitably as possible.
Among the many hero associations in Sky City, Sonia belonged to a hero association called Megacorp.
–
Hero Association. Megacorp.
Sonia was so uninterested that when asked what the name of the Hero Association was, instead of answering right away, she checked the hero licenses one by one on the communication terminal and answered…
Rules for distributing requests are tailored to the region. In accordance with the number of heroes included, Sky City expresses the number of high-level heroes by the affiliation of the hero suitable for the request.
The heroes of Sky City became independent when the Merging Point Association, which grew in size by absorbing surrounding hero associations, exploded, as befits its name.
Professional scouts contacting the heroes of the collapsed Merging Point Association.
Grade A is difficult to obtain while promising better benefits. While there were hero associations and professional scouts who harassed communication terminals to the point where B-class heroes got sick of them…
[Tae… You even send me the taxi fare first? Is it true?! Buy… I have a gift certificate…!]
[Yes. Hero Sonia. As much as Sonia visits. Sonia, I hope you will accept this as a token of my gratitude for giving up your time.]
Of course, they are definitely more ‘expected’ than the combat department students who graduated from the academy, but they are high-quality personnel who have nowhere else to go. A D-class with lower priority than a high-level hero. E-class heroes.
While other hero associations and professional scouts make contact with high-level heroes, first. This is a response chosen because we know that if we act like an ordinary hero association, we will naturally be pushed out… But it is rather low-level. Although it is not completely low grade.
Rather than an independent A-level hero who appears to have a lot of money saved up, he is a D-level hero. If there was a bit of overspending… The Hero Association decided to recruit heroes who could easily overcome whatever association suggested it. Megacorp.
Of course, after the Merging Point Association exploded, it suddenly appeared in a sparsely populated neighborhood and was not even recognized.
That was the only way… The Megacorp Hero Association implemented a successful marketing strategy.
For example…
[Thank you… Thank you! As soon as. I can just go right away, right?]
[You can visit Sonia at any time that is convenient for you. Thank you so much for your time. Hero Sonia]
This is in direct contrast to the strategy of the closest rival Hero Association, which sends individual scouts to each high-level hero while sending an entire email to each D- and E-level hero.
Instead of giving up on recruiting high-level heroes from the beginning. Still, the Megacorp Hero Association attached department store gift certificates as well as Humanoid taxi fares to D-class heroes who could make a reasonable amount of ‘profit’ for the hero association.
[You… You’re too fast! Let’s go together!]
[Yes. I will slow down my walking speed. Sonia]
[Uh… Uh… Yes… Thank you…?]
Although it is a hero association that is classified as very small in terms of the size of registered heroes. From the escalator that goes down deep from the ground.
The floor is entirely made of white metal, an expensive metal with antibacterial properties. Rather than pushing and pulling with your hands, there is even an opaque automatic door that opens silently when you stand in front of the white door.
I don’t know why, but he walks with the clear gait of a soldier who has been trained, and he wears a black bodysuit and latex boots, which are the official attire of the association.
When I asked why they didn’t have a visor, they answered yes because it hadn’t arrived yet… Kind of like robots… The association’s employees were wearing strange shiny outfits that matched the image of drones.
[Which is faster, laser or plasma? You don’t know that?!]
[After taking the Hero Basic Knowledge Test, you cannot retake the test while the results are being processed. Is that okay? Sonia?]
[Well… Yeah! I was asking what kind of problem this was… Ugh… So that’s it! Please watch the educational video!]
[Yes. We will guide you to the training room. Sonia. Here. And here. Just turn to the next page and sign here. The video completion period takes 60 minutes. Sonia.]
You can also borrow new products from contracted engineers for free in the name of being a tester… Instead of receiving support for armor and weapons. I even rented the most expensive virtual reality VR stress relief device…
I’m not sure why. The Megacorp Hero Association even gives out a bodysuit for free, which has a strangely small area and is made of less sticky material than the association’s employee uniform, which covers the entire body tightly and shows off the body’s curves.
[Two… Can’t both be done?]
[Sorry. Sonia. Please purchase using the association support points accumulated while performing requests.]
[Tch…]
A hero bodysuit with a design so exposed that the wind blows right into your ‘belly button’ if you wear it without an inner suit.
If you push on the mecha-mecha cat ear headdress, your eyes will turn fluorescent green and an unknown barcode hologram will appear under your belly button…
Sonia, who has tried on such a bodysuit, and Luce, an adventurer who looks at her friend Sonia from Earth. I couldn’t recognize the barcode hologram meaning D33.
“Ah…”
One step.
Get off in a taxi equipped with Humanoid. In the middle of an empty lot where there seemed to be nothing, at the entrance where only a roof had been installed to prevent raindrops from flowing into the basement. Go down the incredibly long escalator. One step.
“Hmm… It looks like they’ve delved into the basement a lot, Sonia. It’s a hero association, so if it’s located in a corner of the chain, there will be fewer patrols and local requests… Sonia?”
The only building you can see after getting off the train is a restaurant where adventurers have dinner after finishing a difficult dungeon raid.
Little by little, dreaming of a free android. A café run by androids who work to buy themselves back and instruct Humanoids to do simple tasks.
And Humanoid for convenience stores placed in convenience stores everywhere.
“Insulting words and actions towards association employees are prohibited.”
“Um… Um… All white metal…? How much is this…? Sonia…? What did you just say…”
Deep underground? As soon as you take a step towards the antibacterial metal tile, a layer is placed over your eye.
The basic test was replaced with the association’s video training, and as he watched the video repeatedly while sitting on the prepared mechanical device… A D-class hero belonging to the hero association ‘Megacorp’ who began to see the common sense that he had taken for granted again. Sonia.
(Do not get in the way… Efficiently…)
“So… Sonia! Let’s go together!”
“…”
More completely than the brainwashed combatant No. 5095 that followed. The attire of an association employee wearing a black bodysuit, knee-high latex boots, and glossy black latex gloves.
By coincidence, they were all dressed the same. Sonia started walking toward the reception desk, side by side with the only association employee with a different breast size.
Walking speed too. The number of steps and even the time and interval between stepping on metal tiles are all the same. A D-class hero belonging to the Megacorp Hero Association who walks hurriedly to the reception desk, looking like he can hardly be said to be walking. Sonia.
“If you suddenly run… We’re all confused. Sonia! Um… Where are you going? Um… Are you there? Sonia?! Come with me! I’m begging you!”
Even before the insertable receiver, which created traces of physical damage by tearing out the stuck data chip, it shot straight into the residual pulse that remained in the head and brought distorted pleasure to the biological brain.
Education as it is in the head… Common sense put into it.
Of course, since the scope was set to the Megacorp Hero Association, it was close to brainwashing training, but of course, the association’s employees are also someone’s family, so it is natural not to use abusive language… It is not a lie to inflate performance, but it is also wrong to give an ambiguous answer. As much as Sonia knew that it was work…
Even though you can experience the pleasure brought by the pleasure substances secreted in your brain just by doing a favor…
“I have completed the registered request… What do I do next?”
It was Sonia reporting as Megacorp’s hero.
