Chapter 141 – #142 Small Responsibilities
#142 Little Responsibility
I’m not going to lie, the 5-story building was fucking heavy. As for how heavy it was, it was so heavy that it would be crushed.
A 10th-level body enhancer is strong enough to knock down a building if he wants to, but that doesn’t mean he can lift a building that weighs hundreds of tons.
There is a big difference between breaking and holding on.
“Ugh geug geuk!”
To be honest, I wouldn’t die if I was run over by a building. Is there any chance that I will die from asphyxiation? But being run over by a building won’t suffocate you. It’s not like a pile of dirt, and I’m a body enhancer.
Just be crushed by the building and later, when the heroes clear the building debris, shout ‘This body is revived!’ And run away from the scene.
Still, there is one reason why I am supporting a collapsing building.
“Aaaaagh!”
“Mom~ Uhhhhh~!”
It was because of the children. Of course, other adults are also saved as a bonus.
I wouldn’t die if I was crushed by a building, but these people were different. These were ordinary people with no superpowers.
“Don’t hit me in the face… Please! Get out…!”
The fear of death was so great that people hardly came to their senses. I would have to leave soon, but I was sitting on the floor in a daze.
Woojijik-!
“Chew…!”
A part of the ceiling collapsed due to the shock caused by the explosion. Beneath the collapsed rubble was a hero who played a major role in rescuing a child who had been taken hostage from terrorists earlier.
“Haha…”
The hero couldn’t escape even though heavy debris was falling on top of him, as if he had exhausted his strength while using his psychic powers.
If you leave it as it is, you will be crushed to death.
“Suck!”
I flicked my finger and used the repulsion skill on the falling wreckage. The debris that was pushed aside fell beside the hero.
“Hey you bastards! Are you going to search here?! Get out of here!”
“Uh, uh…”
When I shouted again, people came to their senses.
To prevent the building from collapsing, he is also using the supernatural power of the ruler of gravity at the same time to prevent the fire from approaching. It looked like it was going to be really hard.
“I have to get out!”
“Let’s get out quickly!”
“Send the kids first!”
I yelled at people to let the kids out first. When rescuing people in danger, it is a national rule to rescue children first.
Is it because I’m taking all the risks?
“Guys, let’s go.”
“Come this way.”
If there was a youngster who insisted on living here first, he would definitely find it later and take revenge, but fortunately there was no such person. Less troublesome work later.
The parents of the children took them and left the bank.
“This time injured!”
“If you do three, you lift at the same time! One, two…”
After that, I didn’t have to say anything. People took care of each other and went out.
They tried to get the seriously injured heroes out first.
“No…”
“Yes?”
“I’m going… Last… Out… Ha… So… Everyone first…”
It seemed like he would stop breathing right away, but the hero refused to take his turn. He rather told people to leave first.
“You have to get out now! Come on!”
“First! Get out… Ha…”
“…”
A bank teller tried to get the hero, but he squinted his eyes and shouted. The bank employee with an indescribable expression nodded.
“Okay! Everyone keep order and go slowly! I’ll go out with [Cutter] At the very end!”
“I’ll stay too!”
At the end, it was decided to leave only those who would take care of the hero, and citizens left the building in groups of two or three.
“Steel… Armor…”
“Hmm? What? Don’t talk to me unless it’s important.”
A hero named Cutter called me out, so I replied bluntly. He was already in the middle of using the master of gravity, so he couldn’t focus on anything else.
“Why…”
“Huh?”
But Cutter continued to talk to me.
“Why do you, the villain,… Save people…?”
“Her!”
At his words, I laughed.
“Hey. I’m looking for people, but where are the heroes and villains? I just look for them first.”
“…”
At my words, Cutter stared blankly at me.
“It’s true that I’m a bad asshole with bad default values, but I’m not so bad as to just watch people die in front of my eyes.”
When I was a Korean, I endured a lot even when I saw injustice. Because i’m weak I was weak and timid, so despite the injustice that was happening right in front of my eyes, I tried to endure it and turn away.
But now there is no reason to ignore it.
When we see injustice, we stand up against it with two fists, and when someone is in crisis, we can help them.
Because I am strong
Said Uncle Ben (Spider-Man’s Uncle).
It is said that with great power comes great responsibility.
But even though I have great power, I didn’t want to take on the big responsibility. I just wanted to live my life the way I wanted to go, like a spark of life that only happens once.
So he became a villain.
Still, though, still…
If it was a small responsibility, I could carry it with grunts.
Okay.
They could take on any number of ‘small responsibilities’, such as returning a kidnapped child to their home, taking a dying person to the hospital, paying for hospital bills, or rescuing people from collapsing buildings.
“Cutter. If you’re interested in living as a villain, come find me. I’ll use you as one of my subordinates.”
“Kuk-kuk…”
At my recruitment offer, Cutter burst into laughter as he clutched his aching stomach. Smile? Am I serious?
People left one by one, and before I knew it, only me, the injured Hero Cutter, and the two bank employees who were left to take him out.
I gave a thumbs up to the two brave employees who were left in a building that could collapse at any moment to help the hero.
“Now it’s your turn. Get out. Hey, you guys are really brave. And the hero over there is a real hero. So get out safely everyone. Oh, you guys, if you’re interested in criminal life, find me in Precinct 83. .Tell the perverts with skull tattoos on their heads that I told them to come and they’ll take me.”
Haha…”
The two employees laughed with puzzled faces. Are you really serious?
Woojijik-!
“Wow fuck! I almost got fucked!”
Giving the thumbs up to the staff, he almost toppled the building. Before the building tilted sideways, it hurriedly braced the ceiling again.
“You are…”
“Huh?”
“Really… A hero…”
“Fuck the bullshit!”
“… Yes?”
I yelled out at Cutter, who called me a hero.
“I became a villain because I didn’t want to be a hero. What do you call a hero! Get out of here quickly! Go out and get treatment! Don’t look behind!”
“… Huh … That’s going to be … How did you live …”
“Let’s go.”
“One, two, three!”
“Ugh!”
Two bank employees grabbed Cutter by his limbs and carefully lifted him up. Cutter frowned and groaned, as if that also hurt.
“Um…But how is Steel Armor going?”
The bank teller asked me before leaving. Are you worried about me right now?
“Huh… Hey. The most useless worry in the world is worrying about politicians, then worrying about rich people, and worrying about villains last. I belong to two of them, so don’t worry about unnecessary things.”
“Haha… Yes. And Steel Armor. Thank you for saving me.”
“Thank you, Steel Armor.”
“Yeah… Okay, so let’s get out of here! I’m going to let go of this hand!”
The bank employees took the cutter and went outside.
“Tsk. Why are people like this so embarrassing?”
I thought he was dying because his chest tickled.
“Anyway, shall I go out now?”
Now that we’ve let everyone out, it’s my turn to get out…
“… Uh?”
Then, suddenly, a person came to mind.
“Deputy Chief Hwang?”
That man, I knocked him out in the special storage room.
“…”
Fucked?
*****
The building where the Hero Bank is located did not collapse as if it were about to collapse. Citizens without superpowers ran away early and looked at the building with nervous eyes.
The only ones near the collapsing building were the remaining heroes to save lives and prevent secondary damage.
“Everyone back down! Let’s get started!”
The site manager was Ice Queen, an A-class hero who was on the verge of becoming an S-class. She intended to freeze the entire building to prevent it from collapsing.
It was at this moment that she had fully developed her powers and was about to use her psychic powers.
“Senior, wait a minute! There are more people coming out!”
“What? Help me quickly!”
“Yes!”
The heroes who were waiting for the Ice Queen’s order hurriedly ran and took care of the three men. Two were Hero Bank employees and one was Cutter, the resident hero.
“I think you can use your psychic powers now, senior.”
“Yes. But this voice… Are you an aqua girl?”
“Yes, senior. It’s me, Aqua Girl.”
“What’s your costume? Did you get a new costume?”
The Ice Queen looked up and down at her junior who had come to her side before she knew it. She wasn’t wearing the usual aqua girl outfit.
She was wearing a black bra, a see-through blouse, black skinny jeans, and a frog mask with eyes covering half of her face.
Then Aqua Girl scratched his head and said.
“No, I’m off work today…”
“Oh, I see. Were you around here?”
“Yes. It happened right under my nose.”
“… I’m proud of my junior. You’ve worked hard.”
The Ice Queen noticed that Aquagirl was pretty tired right now.
I have already heard about the series of events that took place here. Even though she was off duty, she was proud of the aqua girl who would have worked hard to save the citizens.
At that time, a hero approached the Ice Queen with two men.
“Ice Queen! This person says she has something to say to the Ice Queen!”
“What to say? What’s going on?”
The Ice Queen immediately recognized the two men. She was the last person to leave the bank.
“There’s Steel Armor inside!”
“Quickly save Steel Armor!”
“… Yes?”
“…”
The Ice Queen stared blankly at the two men who told her, the hero, to save the villain. And the face of Aquagirl inside the mask hardened.
*****
“Fuck.”
According to the original plan, now I had to release the psychic power of the master of gravity and quickly escape from the building.
However, there was a variable that I hadn’t anticipated, and it was Deputy Director Hwang.
To be honest, Deputy Director Hwang is the first person I saw today. It means that whether he dies or not has nothing to do with me.
But I was the one who knocked him out. Therefore, if he died after being crushed by a building, it was entirely my fault.
“Fu, the non-killing principle…!”
[Non-killing caution ON!]
‘Batman hyungniiiiim!’
The cool-headed brother of Batman turned on the non-killing warning. With this, if Deputy Director Hwang dies, I will have committed murder. Oh, my God!
‘You can’t be careful not to kill now! That murderer!’
[You can do it. Save Deputy Chief Hwang!]
‘How can I save you now!’
[If it doesn’t work, make it happen!]
‘Fuck! Army PTSD! You didn’t even go to the army!’
I couldn’t hide my absurdity at the appearance of Brother Batman, who brought out the words that seniors and executives in the army were talking about. Because he’s an American, he didn’t even go to the military…!
‘Everything, the other brothers?! Brothers! Please stop me, Batman!’
[Keuk! Kyakyakyakyakyakyakkyak!]
[Hmm… Do I have to cut it like this to cut it in half exactly? Or here?]
Alas… Wrong. Those bastards are no help at all.
What’s so funny about the Joker is kicking the dead terrorist, and Thanos is slicing his finger on the dead guy and thinking about how to cut it in half exactly.
Mental support is a piece of shit, they’re just crazy people!
“My God! It’s a real steel armor, right?”
“Huh?”
Someone entered the building without fear. When the woman appeared, the three older brothers who were wandering around disappeared like a mirage.
“Ice Queen?”
The fearless woman was the Ice Queen.
“What are you doing here?”
“What? Why are you fighting again?”
“…”
The Ice Queen looked at me incomprehensibly. Huh? Ah! Okay!
“Hey! You just arrived safely. If you go to the special storage room here, a man named Deputy Director Hwang passed out? Go and save him!”
“What?”
“If I let go of this, I’ll be crushed by that old man’s building! You’re a hero! A hero won’t save anyone and just leave?! Hurry up and save Deputy Chief Hwang! Save! More! Martha! Oh, no, Deputy Chief Hwang!”
“…”
The Ice Queen still looked at me incomprehensible.
Don’t be like that, go quickly and bring Deputy Director Hwang with you!
Save Martha haha
