Ep.169 Education

The hospital is owned by the association, also known as the treatment center.

There was S-class hero Metel from the United States who had stayed there for a week to recover her body.

She was always filled with boiling anger in the temporary office set up for her within the association.

“Fucking… Piece of bullshit!”

Although her body had fully recovered after several days of treatment, she could not treat the scratches left by her wounded pride.

“I lost to an A-class… me…?”

Metel muttered as she grasped her glossy gray hair on the desk.

She couldn’t accept that she had lost to the A-class that had ignored her so blatantly.

Of course, the villain who had ambushed her was S-class, but how strong could a villain under A-class be?

It was embarrassing to see the photo of the villain, Moonlight Shaman, who had shot that beam, especially since she looked smaller than herself by 20 centimeters.

“That’s right…”

Finally, she came to a conclusion as she grasped her head with a big mental shock.

She just let her guard down and lost.

If she hadn’t let her guard down, she wouldn’t have lost to such pathetic guys.

What? They’re strong? That’s nonsense. They’re nothing compared to the opponents she’s fought so far. It’s just that she let her guard down.

“Shit…”

She cursed in English and nervously browsed through social media to find inner peace.

Just as she was trying to find peace of mind, a voice was heard.

“Why are you talking about supporters?”

“Fuck!”

Every time she heard the muttered words, her anger flared up.

“You, beating me with a sneak attack on an A-grade topic and shamelessly saying that? When I see you next time, I’ll tear you apart,” she swore, flames in her eyes.

If only she had not let her guard down and used her skills, she could have won. After all, they were all egocentric and whatnot, and if she hit them with her meteor strike, everyone would realize the difference in power. They were just A-grade, she was S-grade. She wouldn’t fall twice.

Still consumed by those thoughts, she eventually vented her anger on her social media with a post insulting the egocentric in Korean, saying that they were weak and disgusting villains and that she would definitely give them a good beating next time.

Feeling the anger again after writing it out, she thought to herself that she was better than an A-grade hero.

His words were like a trigger, making her feel an uncontrollable rage and desire for revenge. “Metel, hold on, hold on,” she tried to calm herself down.

As she walked out into the hallway, she turned a corner and came face to face with the A-grade hero, Stardus.

Recently, she hadn’t been feeling too bad.

“Hmm…”

“Well, I mean. You talked a big game about being S-grade and all, but it seems like you’re not that strong compared to me, just your hero Stardus,” the hero said.

Recently, Star has been talking about herself a lot, secretly enjoying reading posts without pretending to do so. One of the posts caught her eye.

“I just translated the latest Mateel Insta post hahahahahahahaha”

…What’s that?

Curiosity froze Shin Haru’s expression as she read the post.

The content was still full of Egostic insults without any sense. On top of that, there was groundless confidence that there would be no changes next time.

Sighing, Shin Haru stood up, feeling her tense head.

Her fondness for Mateel had decreased even more.

Well, whether she liked it or not, Mateel was still within the association. She would probably threaten them with another attack.

… Well, even if she did, Shin Haru didn’t think she could win next time.

Thinking that, she went outside.

In the corridor, she came face to face with Metel.

“….”

“….”

A girl with a similar height and sharp eyes.

Shin Haru simply nodded and greeted her as there was nothing to say and she didn’t want to get involved.

However, it was amusing that even after a humiliating defeat, Mateel still couldn’t admit it and ignored her Egostic behaviour.

As Shin Haru passed by without paying attention to Mateel’s Egostic behaviour, Mateel noticed it with a sharp eye and became enraged.

“….Fuck, Fuck.”

Now she was being ignored in the A-class hero community?

Mateel’s pride was once again deeply wounded.

The only solution was to completely beat Egostic guy in the next attack.

Yes. If she eliminated her completely, no one would be able to ignore her anymore.

When the time comes, I’ll send away the girl who laughed at herself for being a Stardus or something.

And so, Metel lost her mind and waited only for revenge filled with anger.

A few days later, Egostic’s broadcast turned on.

[Yes! Hello, everyone. This is Egostic!]

[I’m currently in an abandoned factory area, well, let’s get straight to the point.]

[If you want to catch the so-called S-class hero of America, Metel, come here.]

[Well, I’ll give you plenty of time. After the miserable defeat last time, you must have been scared, so you need enough time to prepare! Hahaha! Take your time and come, I’ll be waiting.]

With his sly smile, Egostic’s blatant provocation was broadcast nationwide.

And of course, Metel went crazy as soon as he saw it.

“I’m leaving.”

“No, sir, Metel! Before you go, can we brief you once more…?”

“Fuck you!”

Metel, who had already succumbed to provocation and lost his mind, flew off on a rock.

Shin Haru quietly watched her leave.

***

Seoul outskirts.

Abandoned factory area.

“Da-in, do you think she’ll really come?”

I smirked at Seo-eun’s question.

“Of course, she will. Don’t worry.”

“Well…it still seems like a blatant trap.”

I mean, she hasn’t taken any hostages, and it’s not like she’s a terrorist. It’s kind of strange to call one hero to some shabby abandoned factory.

But according to Lee Seola’s words… No, just thinking about her that I saw. She’ll probably come.

She looks…kind of stupid.

As I waited for Metel, I looked over the things I had prepared inside the factory.

The various devices that Seo-eun had set up in advance, the magic circle that Eun-wol had laid beneath the floor, and the Death Knight on the ring.

And even Electra and Mist, who were waiting behind Ha Yul’s ability buff.

They had prepared everything to face the hero who was running wild alone.

This is a stage prepared for Metel who is about to leave for the United States today.

The camera was turned off to concentrate on her.

Ah… she has become very kind.

When I was thinking that.

With a loud bang, the door of the open factory opened.

Seeing the figure of Inyoung, who was obscured by the shadow, I couldn’t help but grin.

Now it’s time for education.
