Korea Paranormal Association.

 

A conference room with a clear view of Seoul.

 

As usual, the president of the association sent a notice to all heroes of Grade A or higher to attend.

 

The effect of ‘The Dark Knight’ was great.

 

Outstanding attendance.

 

Attendance at the meeting is not mandatory, so normally 30% of the meeting should be done well, but 80% of the participants attended this meeting.

 

The atmosphere was not very good as the heroes were close to each other and close to enemies.

 

If there is one thing in common among those who wear various uniforms, they have a gloomy expression.

 

It was because of the killing of the hero in ‘The Dark Knight’.

 

Although villains often kill heroes, I was shocked when the ‘Dark Knight’, who I thought would keep the good, killed the hero.

 

They were not as hostile to the ‘Dark Knight’.

 

He knew that heroes are human too, so there are villains who do not repent.

 

Some liked that the ‘Dark Knight’ scratched their itch.

 

Until you kill the hero.

 

In the last few days, the actions of ‘The Dark Knight’ have become more and more radical.

 

Hero killing and detention center raid.

 

He was clearly crossing the line.

 

The association is a meritocracy rather than an authoritarian organization.

 

We valued the opinions of strong heroes above all else.

 

At today’s meeting, the treatment of ‘The Dark Knight’ was to be decided.

 

The president of the association was seated at the top.

 

‘Mask Rider’, Korea’s first hero and president of the association.

 

He was a young man in his 30s who had his arms replaced with prosthetics.

 

The reason he was able to serve as president of the association when he was young was because of his symbolism.

 

‘Mask Rider’ is the first class A awakener who criticized and punished the illegal acts of hunters.

 

When he started this job, it was just a private sanction like ‘The Dark Knight’.

 

The difference is that the principle of ‘immortalism’ was thoroughly followed.

 

Before long, more Awakened people joined the cause of ‘Mask Rider’, and the government recognized it, and a hero was born.

 

“You’ve come a lot more than you think.”

 

‘Mask Rider’ said while looking at the three S-class heroes in Korea.

 

S-class hero ‘Invincible’ Gu Jun-cheol.

 

A man with a skill that reduces damage by up to 80% and a damage vampire skill.

 

In the past, he was an experienced hero who worked as a hunter.

 

He attended the first meeting since the association was founded.

 

That means he is interested in ‘The Dark Knight’.

 

Goo Jun-cheol made eye contact with the president of the association and shook his head slightly.

 

The A-class hero line was also brilliant.

 

From ‘Boltman’ and ‘Office Lady’ to ‘Silver Tail’, which you don’t usually see.

 

Most of the A-class heroes were gathered.

 

‘Boltman’ was sarcastic after seeing ‘Silver Tail’ after a long time.

 

“Are you tired of other activities? Why are you doing all your work as a hero?”

 

“… … .”

 

‘Silver Tail’ stared at him with a firm expression.

 

“Aww. I’ll give you one hit.”

 

He was praised as the first hero idol (?) without even doing his hero activities properly, so there were many heroes who hated him.

 

The hero next to him stopped ‘Boltman’.

 

whisper whisper.

 

He whispered into ‘Boltman”s ear.

 

“Hey. He said he was dating Medoo.”

 

“What? Medoo love? Hmmm.”

 

‘Boltman’ smoked and read a handout placed on his table for some reason.

 

There was a status window (estimated) of the ‘Dark Knight’.

 

enormous abilities.

 

‘Boltman’ had no choice but to nod his head.

 

If it was the ‘Dark Knight’ who defeated the ‘K-restricted villain’, I thought that it would be impossible to explain if it wasn’t this level of ability.

 

The president of the association clapped a couple of times to call attention and started the meeting.

 

“You’ve probably heard of the Dark Knight killing Medusa.”

 

puddle.

 

The teeth of ‘Silver Tail’ were broken.

 

The clever Hwang Ha-rin always pretended to be an innocent and kind woman in front of ‘Silver Tail’.

 

So he thought that all charges against ‘Medusa’ were false.

 

The recording file was created by the threat of ‘The Dark Knight’.

 

‘There’s no way that kind Harin-san is such a person… … .’

 

‘Silver Tail’ was suffering from guilt that he might have saved her if he had gone looking for her that day.

 

The president of the association said with a firm face.

 

“It doesn’t matter who she was or what she did. Even if we’ve sinned, that’s something we’re going to get kicked out of our heroes and brought to justice. The fact that the Dark Knight killed the hero does not change.”

 

“For reference, the attack on the detention center… .”

 

‘Mask Rider’ brought up the data screen.

 

A detention center burned to the ground.

 

In each room there were corpses, charred and crooked like shrimp.

 

“As a result of the investigation, it is highly likely that the Dark Knight is a copycat. There is too much evidence that it is only the appearance of the Dark Knight, but it is not the reality.”

 

‘Invincible’ asked.

 

“How is the association going to respond?”

 

“It has been discussed with the police, but we will not announce the results of the investigation. Instead, we only have to let out a mixture of innocent victims. The favorable public opinion about The Dark Knight is too strong. I think we need to break it down a bit.”

 

“you… It has changed.”

 

“I wonder if Invincible-sama doesn’t like it… ?”

 

“no. If it is the opinion of the association, then I will follow it. Now, there is no room for a Dark Knight like him.”

 

‘Invincible’ thought that ‘The Dark Knight’ resembled the former president of the association.

 

So I thought the president of the association would like him.

 

“The following is about the identity of the Dark Knight, but please refer to the documents in front of each of you. Based on eyewitness accounts and video data, it is a material that inferred his status window.”

———————————–

 

“Huh… … .”

 

“Hmm… .”

 

They admired a little.

 

Until the gate reappeared, all dungeons were under the control of the guild and the manager.

 

The growth of the new Awakened is all in their hands.

 

It was not a structure in which an A-class could suddenly pop out.

 

‘The Dark Knight’ was irregular.

 

“Are you from Hunter?”

 

As someone mumbled, ‘Invincible’ shook his head.

 

“There was no such guy among the high-ranking hunters.”

 

The president of the association said definitively.

 

“Then you are a foreigner.”

 

“Right. It’s not that I’m not good with foreign information.”

 

“It could be a foreign villain… .”

 

‘Boltman’ countered.

 

“But he doesn’t write Hangul on Post-it notes.”

 

“It is said that even a fool can learn Hangul in a week, so I must have studied it.”

 

The president of the association moved on to the next topic.

 

“This is the most important issue, but what should I do with the Dark Knight? Although it is known that Medusa was killed, she was not worthy of a hero. If you kill a hero, it would make sense to grab it with all your might, but this case is very vague.”

 

‘Silver Tail’ made an uncomfortable expression when he said ‘I don’t deserve it’, but did not open his mouth.

 

He was on the weak side among A-class, and he had a weak voice because he didn’t work hard as a hero.

 

This theme was the reason ‘Invincible’ came here.

 

He was worried about what would happen if a powerful gate appeared now that many hunters have retired and there is a power vacuum.

 

“The gates are reappearing. The international situation is also unfavorable. How about trying to convince the Dark Knight first? Even if the president of the association agrees.”

 

“good. What do other people think?”

 

The others had nothing to say.

 

The S-class ‘Invincible’ came out, but there was a bit of opposition as well.

 

“I agree.”

 

“I agree.”

 

“agree.”

 

“I just follow the decision of the president of the association.”

 

Only ‘Silver Tail’ came out against it.

 

“He must be caught unconditionally and brought to justice. How can everyone believe only the criminal’s words and conclude that Medusa has sinned! Isn’t that a confession by intimidation?”

 

The ‘office lady’ answered politely.

 

“There was also the petrified body of Jang Seo-yoon, and those who committed the crime with Medusa also confessed. I was killed by a fake Dark Knight.”

 

“It cannot be. The body may have been manipulated by the Dark Knight, and those who confessed may have been bribed… .”

 

“Do it in moderation. I know it’s sad to lose a lover, but the truth doesn’t change. Medusa is a man who has greatly tarnished our hero.”

 

The other heroes also nodded their heads.

 

‘Silver Tail’ had no choice but to sit down with anger.

 

‘Mask Rider’ then announced the results of the meeting.

 

“Then I will draw a conclusion. Although arresting the Dark Knight is a top priority, if you feel that you are lacking in your abilities, try to convince them through conversation. We will issue an official notice to each manager within today.”

 

The result of considering ‘Silver Tail’ in its own way.

 

The president of the association concluded the meeting.
