CH 191

After I’m back from the Cathedral,

I was busy with special information and contact with the Japanese villain boss, so I was getting some healing at home.

[Hero Stardus are fighting against S-class villain Seven Hun who appeared in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul! We’ll switch to scene and reporter Lee Jae Hyun!]

“Wow, she’s definitely a hero.”

Popcorn in one hand, computer in the other.

These days, I was so busy that I rarely had time to relax, but I still made sure to watch Stardus’ live video on time. Mainly, for the fun of seeing how strong Stardus have become.

“…Hey, now you’re really dealing with that star punch freely.”

I admired Stardus, who was punching a villain with her fist shining in yellow.

Star Punch. It’s the nickname for one of Stardus’ techniques that the original fans used to call, and the special thing about it’s the shining fist that is full of star power. Of course, it shows much stronger power than just an attack.

In the original work, it was used as a lethal weapon when extreme situations happened, and could be used freely from the moment she reached the level. I remember that since the Moonlight Gate incident, it’s such a tremendous growth that she can already use it now.

She seems to have awakened since the last battle with the Devil, which was simply great. I think she knows herself well. If she uses that Star Punch, all villains will go down.

Anyway, I was more relieved.

The disasters that will happen, with the current Stardus. If I could grow further here, I think I’d be able to stop it.

‘….It’s already quite a bit progressed compared to the original.’

I murmured to myself.

Well, I can tell by looking at the news. Villains appear every day, the world is being smashed.

Everyone hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re probably slowly feeling it without realizing that the world is getting weirder.

Brazil is completely ruined.

In Japan, the battle between the corrupt government and the villains is intensifying.

Class S villains gathered to form a coalition called Cathedral.

In Korea, something like a devil came out and sat down…

‘If you stay there for a few months, mankind will perish once.’

Of course, it’s said to be destroyed,but in the end, that chronokinesis person will set himself on fire and it will be like “nothing happened.” But instead, when the last bastion of humanity dies, the situation obviously will worsen.

On top of that, if Wolgwanggyo releases their monsters beyond Korea and out to the world, it will be like adding icing on the cake. Anyway, it’s going to be a mess.

In other words, before that, I need to prepare to raise other superpower holders. Since Stardus only has one body, it’s necessary to nurture other heroes in advance as I think about the future I saw in the original

.

That’s how Seola and I started the Hero Training Academy… not, but PMC. After gathering people with superpowers and raising them under the name of Yuseong Enterprise, they will roll themselves out there and prevent disaster from breaking out later.

And now that we have time, it’s time to start it in earnest. The recruitment is already over.

“Hmm…”

So since I watched Stardus Live event, I’ve been holding up the papers and doing PMC’s final confirmation.

I didn’t expect it, but there was a lot of support. From the names I saw in the original to the names I’ve never heard before.

Among the kids who I saw in the original were pointed out and got approved, and those who I had not seen in the original were approved only by those who seemed like they would be easily controlled after thorough investigation by Seo-eun and Yuseong Enterprise.

After so many things, there are only four left.

‘…There are not many though… Well, anyway.’

I only picked this much because I’m going to teach them myself, and it’s not a big problem because I’m going to raise all these kids then recruit dozens of them in the second round. Later, it will become a huge Ego Stream division across South Korea…

As I contacted Lee Seola after giving her the final approval, I immediately closed the laptop with a sigh.

Seo-eun and Eun-wol who suddenly came out from one side of my vision.

“Da-in, are you done?”

“Uuuuh… Huh? Yeah, I’m done now.”

Seo-eun nodded at my answer and glanced at the document looking somewhat anxious.

“….What is it, Da-in?”

“Huh? Didn’t I tell you? That PMC kids management thing. I just made the final confirmation.”

“Well…”

Seo-eun wiggled her fingers as if she’s not sure.

Then she asked me, in a small voice.

“Da-in… You’re not going to abandon our Ego Stream and go to another team, are you?”

“Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden? Why would I go to another team?”

After being absentminded for a while, I was surprised to hear her words. What kind of nonsense is this?

Then Eun-wol said instead of Seo-eun, who was closing her mouth tightly and wriggling her fingers anxiously.

“…Da-in, you keep gathering other people with superpowers besides us to make something, and Seo-eun got suspicious because you only cares about them these days.”

“….! When did I?! I didn’t mean that…”

Seo-eun, who turned red at the words, waved her hand to deny it, but it seems that she was stabbed to the core.

I don’t know why Seo-eun thought so, but I tried my best to explain that it wasn’t. In the first place, the main is Ego Stream, and PMC is just a sub. Blah blah…

After such a long time of sincere persuasion, Seo-eun seemed to be relieved and convinced only then. 

“Yeah. All the kids there are B-class and C-class in the first place. All of our Ego Stream members are A-class or higher, right?”

“Hmm… that’s true.”

“And compared to our genius hacker Seo-eun, won’t they have to all kneel down no matter what kind of technician comes?”

“Hey, brother. No more jokes.”

Seo-eun is smiling because she’s happy again.

Looking at Seo-eun like that, I decided not to say that I should focus on caring for them for a while as they’re rather poor in ability. I feel like I shouldn’t do it…

So I turned off the urgent fire for a moment and decided to rest at home while I had some free time. Of course, although I said “resting”, it’s working from home, but it’s relaxing, so it’s resting anyway.

…But I’m definitely a villain, but why am I working so hard? Wasn’t villains supposed to play, eat, and terrorize?

Of course, come to think of it, the majority of senior villains have been sincere in the original comic, so maybe I’m normal.  In poor modern society, clumsy villains don’t survive…

After reviewing the PMC, thinking about the new Ego Stream members to recruit next time, and spending time with Soobin over a cup of course.

Before I knew it, the time was up.

Time to officially create the PMC.

***

Yuseong Enterprise’s PMC, also known as ‘Yuseong Squad’.

Externally, it’s a private organization created by chairman Lee Seola by recruiting people with superpower, and was said that was created for the security of the company.

However, the truth is quite the opposite.

This is a military organization for the defense of the Korean Peninsula created by me, the A-class Villain Egostic,and  A-class hero, Lee Seola, aka Korea’s dark secret.

Hiring superpower holders at their own expense to prevent the situation where the majority of them are transferred to villains in the future through the original work, and preventing later infested monsters and villains. Of course, most of them lack combat experience or mind, so you have to teach them to some extent.

Unlike heroes, PMC personnel recruited in the name of guaranteeing 100% of their status and paying money. To accommodate them, I arrived.

But…

“Wow…”

“What do you think? Isn’t it wonderful? I’ve put some effort into it.”

A tall building spread out as I got off the Lee Seola’s limousine.

The number of floors was quite high and the outside was all made of shining sky blue glass, and the letter “Yuseong PMC” flashed at the top.

“Wow… You didn’t have to put that much effort though.”

“Hehe, isn’t this the first project that Da-in and I collaborated on? Of course, I had to.”

Lee Seola said so and walked forward with her sky blue hair.

Soon I followed in her footsteps.

A line of bodyguards.

As I entered the building, getting escorted by them, the magnificent facilities welcomed me.

“Now, this is the accommodation… This is the restaurant… “This is for their leisure time activities…”

The woman guided me around the floor.

When I asked her to make a dormitory for PMC kids, she created a better facility than any associations.

“And, the underground is the key.”

She smiled at me in the elevator going down to the basement, and as the door opened, she introduced me to what she made.

The underground is simply a huge space.

Some baseball stadium-sized space welcomed me.

“If superpower holders train together, what else could they do besides fighting?”

When I saw Lee Seola, who boasts an outer wall, I was slightly impressed, saying, ‘It was made with cutting-edge technology stolen from HanEun group.’ To be sure, this will have the effect of an open forest like how Ego Stream usually trains.

“Wow, I didn’t expect you to do this, but thank you very much.”

“Hoot. I received many from you, and this is easy peasy. And anyway…”

Lee Seola, who said so, smiled coyly, and faced me while holding my collar, opened her lips and said.

“Actually, you’re doing this because you’re trying to save everyone here.”

“Well… That’s kind of true.”

“Then of course, I should help. Korea and Yuseong are one body after all.”

“Haha… That sounds scary since it’s not a metaphor.”

“Well, anyway, I look forward to your continued support. Oh, and…”

“What?”

“These days, Stardus is a bit…”

After saying that, Lee Seola, who slightly tilted her head, soon said with a slight smile again.

“No, I don’t think it’s a big deal. It’s nothing.”

Suddenly, so bland.

Making a small laugh, I climbed back into the elevator with Lee Seola.

‘…Then now.’

I guess it’s time to meet the new kids.

My long-cherished desire, not the Ego Squad… but the members of the Yuseong Squad.

…I hope you’ll listen carefully, and I won’t have a wish.
