The World of Masks

Apprentice

After leaving the room, the two of them just walked without saying anything for a moment. There were only two people in the hallway. The air between the two was heavy.

Charles looks back at the snack to see if Hannah was quite shocked.

"Have you had a crush?"

Jinseok laughs lightly and mocks Charles.

"Maybe she'll get along well with her hero, so why don't you give up?"

"Well, that's too bad."

Charles shrugs. The hard atmosphere cleared up a bit. The previously suffocating tension was much better than the sensitivity of the space. However, the heavy emotions in Charles' mind were not lightened at all.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Whatever it takes."

Jinsuk replied with a slight exaggeration of his arms. It's as if the size of your trust is that big. Charles's face softens, noticing the consideration of authenticity.

"I mean, should I be asking you that right now?"

Charles has a very cautious attitude, in case it sounds like a rebuke to the truth. A Charles who accidentally holds a Ueron and assesses himself as a lightning bolt has been made by a cannery temple. In comparison, the truth came only by his ability to get there. There's no shortage of characters. A real born hero unlike yourself. It wasn't unusual that Charles, who had been next to Jin since the PPSO, was deeply touched by Jin, and the idea was making Charles take this attitude.

"Well, I didn't want to ask in that situation, but it is."

"Is there anything special?"

Did he miss something? Charles recalls thinking about what was special. But it didn't take much. The world was still in chaos, but it was already nothing new.

"I'm not sure, but there is one catch."

"What do you mean, you'll get caught?"

Charles openly asks without a headache.

"A superpowered raid."

Charles frowns. Charles despises humans who use their abilities to attack people. After seeing Hannah's situation just now, that emotion added up. But at the same time, there was a question. This is truly unfortunate, but the crimes of the current superpowers are not uncommon. At least it didn't seem like a reason to think that the truth was such a special situation.

"It's not once or twice they do that, is it?"

"Well, yeah. But it is certainly unusual for a victim to be attacked by a sensory superpower and then counteracted by a superpower."

"That's what I hear. Gosh, whether they were unlucky, or whether the bastards who fled in reverse attack were unlucky "

I don't have much luck there, so I just dig it up. Charles put a curse on the man who escaped after causing this incident.

As Charles vigorously burns hostilities toward the culprit in this case, Jin rather cools his head and rethinks his thoughts.

"That's unfortunate. Would that be the end of it?"

"Yes?"

I had already dispensed with the offender's omen in my head and smashed the only head I had left behind. Charles, who was kicking me with his feet, did not understand the words of Jin, asked.

"If you think about it normally, it means that the superpowered criminal who was trying to attack people was unlucky enough to attack the sensory superpower, the victim was Awakened and kicked out, but I suspect it's a coincidence."

Charles still didn't know what Jin wanted to say. But Ueron was different.

[Do you think the perpetrator knew the victim was a sensory superpower?]

"What?"

"I honestly do."

As if to ridicule Charles' astonishment, the truth was so bold.

[Maybe it's too much elixir.]

Obviously, it is unlikely that the person who was attacked by the superpowered criminal is a tasteless superpower, no matter how well he looks at it. I'm sure the odds are very low. But the world is big. Even if it is small, it can happen as much as possible. So no matter how many people thought that the superpowered criminals had attacked the victim because they knew that the victim was a sensory superpower.

But it was also true. And he wasn't stupid.

"Actually, this isn't the only time."

What?

"Reportedly, there were a few more. when a civilian attack by a superpowered criminal awakened his superpower. It's rare for us to be able to repel criminals with superpowers like this one."

Ueron was surprised this time. It is very unlikely that the person who attacked the superpowered criminal is a tasteless superpower, she said. Of course, it could be a coincidence once or twice. But what if it's three times and four times?

[Are there people who specialize in raiding only Taste Superpowers? But why? And how?]

Rather than raiding a senseless superpower with no reason to steal, rape or other criminal intent, it is better to attack a weary layman. It's a lot safer when you think about things like this. This is the part that only the attackers think there is some intention.

Moreover, let's say you can attack a Taste Superpower 100 times. Let's say there are individuals or organizations with that purpose. So how do we find the sensory superpower?

"Reportedly, most of the attacking superpowers were attempting to kidnap tasteless superpowers. I think the people who were killed were very resistant. Maybe he's up to something. and how to find sensory superpowers, I can't even guess. AMSS is continuing to look for sensory superpowers, but at least I've never heard of success. Do you know how to find a Taste Superpower?"

[I'm Ali. If I knew, I would have taught you.]

As expected, Ueron, who emphasizes the importance of the superpowers more than anyone, knew how to find them and could not have taught them.

"Neither AMSS nor Ueron know ."

Jinsuk touched his chin. I could tell by the look on his face that he was deeply troubled.

"Then, Ueron. Do any of the gods have a God who can find such a way?"

[ .]

Ueron shuts up for a moment. The question of authenticity gave rise to the possibility that there was a God behind this. As the same god, Ueron couldn't feel good. But he didn't say anything. The question of authenticity could be enough. And it wasn't that there was no one who was troubled.

[ If there really is a god behind this, it is most likely Nidelbad.]

"Nidelbad?"

[Yes, the god of magic, knowledge, and cunning. You're the wisest of us all.]

"How's your personality? Is God capable of something like this?"

[ Humid one. If he's got a purpose, he's got enough left.]

Ueron insisted, Nidelbad had no idea what he was thinking from before. Ueron didn't want to lead the gods, but he didn't like him very much. The other gods did not try to get along well with him.

[Natia will be the only one to treat him normally.]

Nidelbad. Jinjin engraved that name deep in his mind.

"We'll have to continue our investigation for now. Because right now, we don't know anything for sure. I will also withhold the judgment of a god named Nidelvad."

[I see.]

In conclusion, Ueron accepted.

Charles opens his mouth, listening to the two of them quietly.

"That's why the chancellor wanted to hear about the case sooner."

"Yes. The case is also an event, and if there's a way to find a sense of superpower, I'd like to have it quickly. We had to get a clue somehow."

"It would be helpful if I could find a taste budding superpower in advance."

As much as we are fighting for human dignity, we need to get as much superpower as possible. Finding the sensory superpower will help you get that power.

"And if you can find sensory superpowers, you're more likely to find Awakening superpowers. If that's possible, we can still tie up the superpowers and rob the superpowers fairly of the countries they won't let us go. Hehe, if that's possible, I'm really excited."

"Cho, sir. Your face is getting very dark."

He gave a dark shadow on his face and strangely smiled. He looked like a devil who had just come up from the list.

"Oh, I'm sorry. because I've been under a lot of stress lately because of the countries that are expanding, even though there's a clear indication that they have superpowers."

Jinsuk rubs his face with his hands. His face soon returned to normal.

"We also need to establish a little more authority in AMSS. I'll make him a hero, too."

Jinsuk glanced back and said. Charles looks odd.

"That guy? Are you referring to someone called the Seohyun?"

"Yes. You think it'll work, right?"

Charles recalls a brief moment ago. He had a gentle smile on his mouth because of his clumsy attitude, contrary to his brave work. Yes, someone like that could certainly be a good hero.

But this was a different matter.

Hero. Hero. Definitely a good word. Very few people in the world hate heroes, and Charles himself loves the word hero enough to be a big fan of hero cartoons. Moreover, Charles now also falls into the category of hero. A superpower who fights monsters to save the world. Charles was the most powerful and famous of them all. It even appeared on the internet as a big fan club.

However, the existence of heroes is not only good. In any field, there is something to be praised for, namely, the price paid by those who call themselves heroes. And it was often a trial or a pain.

Of course, if the Seohyun is willing to take it all and walk the hero's path, Charles will be happy and blessed. I was willing to help you.

But now the words of Jin did not include the will of the plague. Like a puppet, he wants to be made a hero by other people's circumstances.

"I don't care if you want me to, but I don't think it's a good position to be the hero someone forced you to be."

"You don't like it."

Charles didn't answer. It was something positive.

"Honestly, I don't like that either. But it's necessary."

" To strengthen the authority of AMSSO?"

Here Charles is a little disappointed in Jin. Charles also knows that the world is not just 'honest' and 'right' because his head is hard enough. I know that Jinsuk moves only for the world without even a penny. So I was convinced with my head. But as Charles admired the authenticity, his mouth was written in the fact that Jin was trying to do something called "politics" to raise organizational authority.

But his answer was a little different than Charles'.

"That, too. But there's more important intentions than that."

"What is it?"

Jinseo stopped walking. I turned around and looked at Charles. This white boy, who used to have a pleasant atmosphere and show friendliness, was now looking at himself with a stiff face.

Jinsuk raises his hand. You point at Charles with your index finger extended.

"You are the treatment of the superpowers."

Charles' eyes widen.

Artwork Reviews

Hey, just when we started re-enacting,

"There's no fun, there's no play, there's a slow theme, there's a long year ahead! I don't look at this shit!"

I was worried about a decline in views, recommendations, and ratings, but a lot of people love my novel.

Panda, I'm impressed.
