The Monster Aspires to Be a Hero

131 – Invisible Victory (5)

From noble mtl dot com

Something too much has happened.

I barely survived a bloody battle with an assassin who was trying to kill me.

The party, including myself, returned to Korea with a sense of alertness that someone could kill them.

There was a feeling that the equipment for the monster was still lacking, but we decided to come up with a countermeasure to catch the monster somehow.

Then, the story of who this monster’s commotion came from came out, and I learned that Humbert had started to act.

The cause is that Yuna was identified as an ability related to future poetry that Humbert was looking for.

It was a very confusing situation, but it didn’t take long to worry.

A monster attacks the Korean Peninsula.

A lot of people will be harmed by that monster, so we have to deal with the monster first.

With that in mind, the headquarters took action to reduce the number of victims.

As an A-class monster had appeared, an emergency training was suggested that assumed the appearance of a monster.

It was like a fire evacuation drill at a fire station.

Of course, there were many people who did not participate in the training because they were too busy or bothered.

Still, I think the headquarters made the choice to steadily reduce the number of victims.

A monster appeared and the heroes began to use their equipment to effectively push the monster.

In order to actually catch a B-class monster, a considerable number of heroes have to fight called raids, but with hero equipment, the number has decreased significantly.

After I hunted the monster, I heard that the headquarters also caught another monster.

I thought everything would end like this.

But as if laughing at my thoughts, the nightmare began.

As many as 3 A-class monsters appeared, and finally we encountered a situation where even an S-class monster appeared.

From that moment on, my memory is hazy.

It felt like there was a fog in my head that made me wonder if it was all a dream.

To be honest, it’s such a ridiculous situation….

Why did such a monster that only appeared in the US and China appear on the Korean Peninsula?

Isn’t this hazy and hazy mood because I’m dreaming?

It’s fortunate that I don’t have the ability to foresee the future.

My head hurts thinking that all of this will happen in the future.

ㅡ I hope you wake up after talking in your sleep, Brave.

An angry voice came from somewhere.

It’s a grid.

Is this really a dream?

My body doesn’t listen strangely, as if I’m being pressed by scissors.

Still, I decided to force myself to open my eyes.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the familiar ceiling.

This is my room….

“Are you awake?”

I heard Grid’s voice from nearby.

Did he stay by my bed and nurse me?

Nursing….

Ah, yes.

It was not a dream that an S-class monster appeared on the Korean Peninsula.

I must have become a monster and attacked such an S-class monster.

“This buys….”

“I was lucky. Because your strange psychic powers tried to protect you.”

Something is out of voice?

I turned my head to the side at that thought.

Grid is sitting at his computer desk as usual.

Then what about this side?

“Ugh….”

The one next to my bed was Yuna.

“No, why is he here?”

I can’t understand the situation well.

If we met by chance, he should have had black hair like last time, but he has silver hair.

“Gwa, are you okay?!”

I know you have low blood pressure, but as soon as you open your eyes, you show such a lively appearance.

While I was thinking such stupid thoughts, Yuna reached out to me.

“Why are you here?”

Yuna let out a sigh of relief as if I judged that I was finer than I thought, and began to grumble after sticking her mouth out with her big feet.

To sum up the story, it was a story that I should first say thank you to the life saver.

“Thank you. So… How did this situation come about?”

“Now I know everything. I heard everything from Grid.”

Yuna used her future knowledge to save me, and Grid told Yuna her whole story to save me.

So it seems like this is the situation now.

“The monster?”

“Surprisingly, the person you admired so much appeared and took care of everything.”

I don’t think it’s been that long since I lost consciousness.

Grid told me the story from the moment I lost consciousness until now in a bit more detail.

“First?”

“Yes. It’s the first you’ve been looking for so long.”

It seems that First, who had been missing, appeared like a comet and destroyed the S-class monster and us in one blow.

She felt a bit uneasy, but her heart started pounding.

First.

The first hero that made me aim for a hero.

He’s back.

“It’s fortunate that the appearance of First drew attention.”

First defeated the monster and, as always, helped those in need.

It is said that people who could not evacuate or heroes who were injured came to his aid.

Gangnam has been devastated and huge damage has been done, but people say that they have forgotten the pain for a while, drunk with First’s appearance.

“Thanks to you, we got out of here as well.”

Grid sighed and shook his head.

“Thank you.”

If it wasn’t for Grid and Yuna, I’d probably be dead.

I understand without having to listen to an explanation.

Even though I just got up from the hospital bed, my body is overflowing with energy.

It must mean that I have acquired resilience that transcends that of humans.

My senses are more sensitive than before.

If you concentrate a little, even the slightest breath sounds like a whisper in your ear.

A lot has changed.

“Now I must be more than half a monster.”

“Yes. Now it is in a state that can be called a monster without a nuclear weapon.”

Grid pointed to himself as he said the word nuclear.

“Now you and I have become inseparable from each other.”

I have become a body that can not live without the grid now.

Grid also became a monster without me.

Unlike before, we have become a community of true destiny.

“You said it was okay!”

Yuna squealed and gave an anxious expression.

Grid looked at Yuna and laughed.

“Brave II will be born as a human, so he doesn’t have to worry too much.”

“What what what?!”

Yuna opened her mouth like a crucian carp and showed a reaction that she had seen many times before.

Her appearance was strangely endearing.

I had the urge to take that cute guy right now.

I decided to fight the urge and figure out the current situation.

“So what about the damage?”

“The best ever.”

In preparation for the appearance of monsters, training was conducted nationwide.

However, there are quite a few people who did not participate in the training due to insensitivity to safety.

It seems that the number of people whose life or death is unknown in the monster commotion is staggering.

The prospect was that there would probably be 10,000 victims.

It is an absurd incident in which 6 B-class monsters, 3 A-class monsters, and 1 S-class monster appeared.

Rather, the number of victims in units of 10,000 would be small.

Is it because the monstrous transformation has progressed, or is it because I have heard of numbers that are too unrealistic?

Unlike before….

“Brave?”

“No, no. So what is the current situation?”

“You know what? It’s the same as the moment First first appeared.”

As if reliving that moment, Furst is said to be reaching out to those who want her help.

People who came out of the underground shelter are making a sound of praising such a first.

“The whole world is shouting First.”

The whole world predicted the fall of Korea.

Things that were really unbelievable happened simultaneously.

I can’t help but praise First, who appeared miraculously in such a situation.

First… It’s cool too.

I was staring blankly at the screen with First written on it, and found a screen with Grid floating on it.

“Hey, what is this?”

Unlike before, it was full of First’s gossip written anonymously.

No matter how you look at it, it feels like it was written by this guy.

“It’s an underdog sensibility that shouts no when everyone else shouts yes.”

I made a sound like an underdog and sat down.

I was about to punch Grid in the head, but Grid’s expression looked quite serious so I put his hand down.

“Why?”

“I didn’t think First was a hero, so I just wrote it as it is.”

Greed’s expression was calm, but what was in those eyes was hatred and anger that couldn’t be hidden.

“You were already unconscious, but I was different. It was ruled by instinct, but the ego remained. I watched the scene where First appeared.”

Grid narrowed his brows and opened his mouth.

“Watching First made me feel like a dog.”

Grid knows how much I long for FIRST.

I don’t think you’re insulting First just to get on my nerves.

Why are you making comments that insult First….

“Was the first strong?”

“It was over with a single blow.”

I see….

Now I think I know why Grid doesn’t like First.

“So strong, but she hasn’t shown up until now?”

“Yes.”

A being strong enough to blow away two presumed S-class monsters with one punch.

Such a being hadn’t been seen until now, but he appeared in an important scene and took care of the monster and saved the country.

It was so contrived that it didn’t look like a hero.

“It is a thoroughly calculated appearance.”

It feels as if the moment disaster struck, the absolute savior descended and defeated evil.

“Epicurus said that.”

Is God willing but unable to stop evil? Then God is not omnipotent.

Does God have the ability to prevent evil but not the will? Then God is not good.

Does God have the ability or the will to prevent evil? Then where did the evil in this world originate?

Has God neither the ability nor the will to prevent evil? Then why should we call him a god?

First has the ability to stop monsters.

It has overwhelming power enough to kill an S-class monster in one blow.

However, it had been hidden until now.

It has the ability to prevent evil, but has no will.

Grid concluded that First was a selfish person.

He questioned why such an existence should be called a hero.

I couldn’t say anything about Grid’s words.

What was the story of such a strong human being who did not reveal himself?

Because that’s too expedient an interpretation.

It would make more sense to think that he was estimating this timing.

The first superhero to single-handedly defeat a monster.

That place was the Korean Peninsula.

A superhero who appeared in a situation where Korea could virtually perish and took down an S-class monster in one blow.

It’s the Korean Peninsula again.

Should I judge that First wanted this kind of composition, so he had been hiding his face until now?

“If you think about it, he had a strangely obsessive side to first.”

He could understand what Grid was trying to say without having to listen to him.

So I reached out to Grid and told him not to say anything after that.

“Huh, huh?”

Only Yuna, who hadn’t grasped the situation yet, tilted her head and looked at me and Grid alternately.

I sighed and threw myself back onto the bed.

What Grid was trying to say must be the true identity of Hero First.

Hero First.

Maybe he….
