Chapter 511 – Gaiden 14) Young Hero (3)
Gaiden 14) Young Hero (3)
Awakened by the urgent police officer’s voice on the radio, the Young Hero immediately mobilized to District 26. Sevi, who has superpowers to enhance the body, is in charge of driving.
For the young hero who wanted to catch the villain, it was fortunate that the incident occurred in Area 26. This is because it is only one district away from Hannah’s house.
They were wearing costumes exclusively for young heroes because their identities would be revealed immediately if they wore the Hero Academy costumes.
But they knew one thing, and the other two didn’t.
The fact that the young hero’s costume was already caught by the S-class hero Ice Queen during the operation to arrest the S-class villain Dr. Hugo a few days ago.
No matter how much you hide your identity with a costume, if the Ice Queen sees you, you will recognize it right away.
“Sevi! Run a little faster! Step on the accelerator!”
“You idiot! If you step on it more, I won’t be able to drive! There’ll be an accident!”
“If you go so slowly, the heroes will arrest all the villains!”
Unaware of this, Hanna urged Sevi to get behind the wheel. There was a certain longing in her eyes.
It was hard to see that he was going to face a brutal villain with armed forces and supernatural powers. Like a child going on a picnic the next day, a strange longing dwelled in her eyes.
The child who always achieved success did not yet know how cruel the reality was.
*****
Since it was one block away, Young Hero was able to reach District 26 in no time.
Bang-bang-bang-bang-!
As Hanna wishes, the gunfight between the police and the villain organization is not over yet.
“When is the support coming?!”
“I can’t hold out any longer! I must retreat!”
“We’re already surrounded! There’s no escape! Fight to the end!”
The shootout put the police at a great disadvantage. The escape route was cut off because the villain organization, which had a numerical advantage, occupied high ground such as the roof of a building.
“It’s too late to regret it! You should have just left when I told you not to disturb me! Haha!”
In addition, there was a villain using superpowers in the villain organization. Hot flames emanated from the villain’s hand. Like a cat playing with a cornered mouse, it spewed fire right next to the officers.
“Kuk!”
It was difficult for the police to respond properly to the flames that flew when they stretched out to shoot.
“Villain!”
Hannah, who got off a few tens of meters away from the scene of the crime, saw the villain using fire and her eyes lit up.
“Wait a minute!”
“Why!”
Sevi stopped Hannah from rushing out at once. She was a year older though, so she had better ability to see the situation than Hannah.
“It’s dangerous to go on like this. Can’t you see that there are snipers on the roof?”
Unfortunately, the costume Young Hero is wearing is a costume made of ordinary materials, unlike the costumes worn by the heroes of the Hero Association.
Most heroes wear costumes made from monster skin. This is because it is tough and hard enough to withstand the attacks of supernatural powers such as villains. In addition, depending on what kind of ability the monster has, there is an effect that amplifies the superpower.
However, monster skins are rare, so low-level heroes wear costumes made by costume companies. It was possible to make a costume with decent defense through advanced technology and special materials, even if it was less than monster skin.
On the other hand, the costume worn by Young Hero was a cosplay costume made of ordinary materials. So the gun was a fairly burdensome weapon for Young Hero.
Then, how have young heroes been able to defeat the villains so far?
It was because of Rachel.
Rachel’s psychic ability [Spoken Spirit Master (Lv. 6)] Is a psychic power that is close to omnipotent, so it was possible to make her friends’ bodies impervious to bullets.
Therefore, without Rachel now, the young heroes had to be very careful and fight the villain organization.
“If you run right away like this, you’ll be hit by a sniper? If you’re not lucky, you’ll be killed on the spot.”
“Sheesh. If I’d known this would happen, I’d have asked my dad to buy me a hero costume!”
At Sevi’s warning that she might die, Hannah clicked her tongue. She didn’t want to die either.
“Stop talking nonsense. Let’s plan a strategy first.”
“What are you thinking?”
“First of all, we have to deal with the snipers. I’m sorry officers… But they seem to be able to hold on. And if we cut off the snipers, the officers will be able to breathe.”
Sevi checked the scene of the battle. After checking the trajectory of the bullets flying from above, he was able to pinpoint the location of the snipers.
“Fortunately, there are two of us. Me and Hannah will take care of the snipers.”
“Okay!”
Hannah nodded her head at Sevi’s quick command. Next, Sevi looked at Evan.
“Evan. Put your mind on us.”
“Huh.”
Evan linked the minds of Sevi and Hannah with his own. Evan’s psychic ability is [Telepathy (Lv. 3)], And now the three of them can talk without a cell phone at a distance of up to 300m.
“After me and Hannah deal with the sniper, Cristina, you blow a big fire to distract the enemy. That alone should give the officers some fresh air.”
“Okay. Oh, and I’ll defeat that fire-using villain?”
Cristina sees the villain open fire at the police officers, and her fighting spirit boils over. Perhaps because she also has the [Flame Magician (Lv. 2)] Psychic ability to use fire, it seems that her sense of selfishness is boiling.
“And Laura…”
“Uh, uh…”
Sevi, assigning each of his friends a role, took one last look at Laura. He was frightened by the sound of gunfire echoing from all directions.
‘Why did Rachel drag a girl like this…’
Sevi didn’t show it, but he disapproved of Laura, clicking his tongue inside her.
That timid personality is a problem, but the bigger problem is that her psychic powers are really useless.
Laura’s psychic ability was [Lizard Trainer (Lv. 2)], And at most she could control two lizards. Since she can share vision with lizards, she can be used for reconnaissance, but the slow lizard was unsuitable for reconnaissance.
“You’re here guarding Evan.”
“Ah Okay…”
Eventually, Sevi let Laura guard her Evan. What she said was to protect it, and it was practically the same as asking him to serve as Evan’s meat shield.
“Then let’s begin.”
“Huh!”
“Let’s Go!”
“Young Hero, dispatch!”
After the strategy meeting, Young Hero began to move.
And they didn’t know
I wonder why criminals who even have ‘villains’ are dragging their time against police officers who do not have superpowers.
The inexperienced Young Hero did not know that.
*****
‘Found.’
Sevi noticed a man lying face down on the roof and her eyes lit up. In front of him was a sniper rifle. It was clear that the sniper was shooting the police officers.
The sniper didn’t pay attention to his back, as if he was very careless. His door was also wide open, so the sniper didn’t notice his presence.
Dealing with a perfectly careless sniper was too easy for Sevi, who had the superpower of Body Enhancer (Lv. 3).
‘It has to be processed at the same time.’
But he didn’t hit the sniper right away. This is because he has to deal with snipers at the same time as Hanna, who will be in another building, to wreak havoc on the enemies.
‘Hanna. Did you spot the sniper?’
Sevi talked to Hannah through Evan’s mind link. Then, I heard Hannah’s characteristic cheerful voice in my head.
‘Huh! Discovery! This bastard looks very good and is not paying attention?’
‘I’ll count to three, so process them simultaneously.’
‘Okay!’
Upon hearing Hannah’s answer, Sevi immediately counted to three in his mind. And he rushed at the sniper.
“Huh? What?!”
The sniper turned around at the sound of footsteps coming from behind and was startled when he saw Sevi. But I found out too late.
“Keah!”
Puck-! Sevi’s kick landed in the sniper’s jaw. The sniper let out a scream and passed out.
‘I dealt with it! Hannah and you?’
‘This is how easy it is! I solved it too!’
‘Good! Evan! Tell Cristina to start!’
‘Okay.’
Sevi’s voice, speaking in his head, became a little furious. It was excited by the battle. And it was the same with other young heroes. Oh, except for Laura, of course.
Roaring-!
“Kyahahaha~! Everyone, surrender if you don’t want to die!”
“Hmm? The heroes have already arrived?!”
“Damn it! Reinforcements have arrived! Cheer up everyone!”
When Hannah spewed fire at the criminals, the criminals panicked. Conversely, the morale of the officers who were hiding behind the police car and resisting rose.
“There is only one hero! Make that bitch a beehive!”
“Eck!”
At the villain’s cry, the criminals’ guns turned toward Christina. Cristina, who was eagerly breathing fire, hurriedly hid behind a nearby car.
Tadadadadang-!
The vehicle quickly became a beehive.
“Here too!”
“Young Hero Dispatch!”
While the criminals’ aggro was focused on Christina, Sevi and Hannah, who dealt with the two snipers on the rooftop, jumped from the rooftop into the middle of the criminals.
Sevi, a body enhancer, took down criminals like a tiger hunting prey, and Hanna, who was about two heads taller than the others, also attacked them.
Hannah’s psychic power was [The Descendant of Giants (Lv. 3)], A psychic power that had the effect of increasing her body size. As her body grew, she naturally gained strength as well.
“Aaaaagh!”
“Cuck!”
‘Then shall I soon defeat that villain in style?’
Cristina, who had been hiding behind the vehicle and avoiding a barrage of bullets, jumped out. She ran straight to the fire-breathing villain.
“I’ll take you down!”
“… I think this is enough to draw attention. Everyone retreat!”
Then, an unexpected situation unfolded. The villain, the leader of the criminals, gave the order to retreat and took his body away.
“Retreat! Retreat!”
“Spread!”
Then other criminals also started to run away following the villain who took out his body first. Some fled in completely different directions.
“Uh huh?”
“These guys!”
“Don’t run away, you coward!”
‘Evan! Pull the car with Laura and follow us!’
‘Ah Okay! But where are you going?!’
‘I’ll let you know when I arrive, so let’s go!’
‘Okay!’
Sevi, Hanna, and Cristina pursued the villain, who could be said to be the enemy’s head.
*****
The escaped villain went into an abandoned factory. And soon after, Sevi, Hannah, and Cristina, who had been following him, arrived.
After notifying Sevi of their location in his head, Sevi entered the abandoned factory with the other two.
“Everyone be careful. He might hide and fight back.”
“Don’t worry about that. We know that.”
“That’s right. And I’ll take care of that son of a bitch, so everyone don’t interfere.”
When Sevi cautioned, Hannah and Cristina responded confidently. The three entered the factory where the villain disappeared at the same time.
“It’s too dark? I can’t see. Could you turn on the light?”
“Yeah wait…”
“You idiots. Turning on the lights here promotes that we are here. What kind of lights are you turning on?”
Cristina tried to turn on the lights, but Sevi hurriedly stopped them. Looking at it this way, Sevi looked better, but in fact, he too was a doggingaegin with Hannah and Cristina.
It was the same that making a sound in such a quiet place revealed one’s position to the enemy.
Pot-! Pot-! Pot-!
“Ugh! Eyes?!”
“Kyaaak!”
“Wh-what?!”
At that time, a light came on in the factory to relieve the three blind people’s frustration. The three of them couldn’t open their eyes because the bright light pouring from the ceiling was focused on the three of them.
Drurrrr
Behind me, there was the sound of an abandoned factory door closing.
And a strange voice was heard from above.
“What? Are those bastards really heroes?”
“Are you too clumsy?”
“Besides, the three of them came along? You don’t look very strong, do you?”
The voice was not alone.
‘Article…’
Sevi thought.
‘Fucked!’
They say they’re fucked.
