244. Avenger

You have a righteous personality since you were a child, and you can't bear to leave a person in trouble, and you didn't mind going forward in person. Perhaps because of the influence of that personality, a superhero who puts meaning on helping people was the most wonderful thing to you. One day, a superhero appeared like a comet, solving a large number of cases with overwhelming power and rapid case resolution. Little by little at the news of the new superhero's performance, you began to respect him and dream of one day walking the same path as him. The superhero was your ideal itself.

You happen to find a child being bullied in a back alley passing by. You couldn't usually see someone in trouble, so you decided to help your child, and in the process, a big change came to you. Unlike admiring a superhero, you weren't very good at fighting. Therefore, it was not a good end if I was involved in this kind of thing, but it was a little different on that day. The opponent was bigger than you and looked good at fighting at a glance. You generally caught the eye of a child who was trembling with fear while being beaten. This time, I was desperate to beat my opponent. At that time, a faint light began to appear between the opponent's body and chest, and instinctively punched at the light. After being hit by your fist, your opponent, who was nothing, fell down complaining of a blow at the light. As we learned later, the opponent was seriously injured in the ribs due to the accident. It was the day I realized that the faint light in front of you from time to time had the superpower to illuminate your opponent's most vulnerable part, your weakness.

Sudden blooming superpowers have made you complacent. Even though I didn't get a superhero license, I started to pretend to be similar to superheroes under the name of justice. You got the news that a criminal using superpowers was carrying out terrorism, so you decided to go catch the criminal. Faced with a criminal, you immediately tried to subdue the criminal, but without knowing the danger of battle, you were in crisis. The superhero who appeared with the sound of cutting the wind from the sky in the moment of a big crisis overpowered the criminal in an instant. You were surprised to see that superhero, his body hardened like a stone. The superhero who saved you from the crisis was the one you usually admired. He scolded how dangerous and irresponsible your actions were. And if you want to be a superhero, I recommend you to get a superhero license formally.

In addition to ethical ideas and moral attitudes, the qualifications for superheroes required a great deal of individual ability and technical skills. However, you lacked everything except being able to use superpowers and being just and humane. After taking the Superhero Certification Test, you took the practical test as well as the written test, which was also a mess. Even the superpowers you believed in were limited to showing your ability only to the object you were focusing on. You failed the test because you didn't get a good score because your psychic ability was judged to be ineffective in the battle against many enemies. But it didn t frustrate you. Instead of a frustrating time, you began to take combat training in earnest to obtain a superhero license. Through research such as how to use superpowers efficiently and make up for shortcomings, I learned practical usage to cultivate the power of superheroes. I had to spend a long time because I wasn't very talented. But the belief in absolute justice and the ideal of superheroes have made you stronger, and you finally get the license of superhero. After that, you started the activity of a righteous superhero that you dreamed of.

You unintentionally overheard conversations of other superheroes while you were scouting to maintain security, and you were furious when you heard them. The sense of justice that you dreamed of as a superhero was because you were telling a story that you couldn't find when you washed your eyes and looked for it. They were saying the same thing about superheroes, whether they like to make money or whether they need to appear later in times of crisis to be recognized. You can't stand the appearance of a superhero like this, so you start to question them for superhero status, and their words and deeds become higher and higher. They claimed to have disgraced the righteous beliefs of superheroes, but other superheroes thought differently from you. Because for them, superheroes didn't just look at justice and run. There are not many superheroes left in the world who move for real justice. There was a group of people who were greedy for money, power, and honor.

There are two factions in your superhero association that others don't know well about. Originally, the superheroes of the association were founded by people who gathered for a common purpose. Heroes began to pursue their own profits, and a new faction was created when superheroes who opposed the pursuit of excessive personal profits in hero activities became independent. The first faction is a group of superheroes with their own goals, such as conservatism, power, and honor. They have excellent individual abilities and tend to move according to the shares of conservatism. The second faction is an organization that values the act of superheroes themselves. There are some heroes who are less capable, but they tend to work actively helping people without considering the quality of their work. While the balance was maintained narrowly like that, the balance between the two factions began to falter when a superhero appeared in the second faction. With his overwhelming skills, he handled all the cases perfectly, regardless of the size of the conservatives and the size of the events. The superheroes of the first faction, who saw him like that, began to feel very unwelcome to him as a result, narrowing their position. The first faction, which began to weaken its influence over time, blatantly criticized the superhero of the second faction. The work of superheroes should be fairly distributed, and a small number of heroes have argued that the act of heroes close to monopoly means the fall of the superhero association. But moments such as human crises, acts of terrorism, and natural disasters have begun to clash, saying that the claim makes no sense as much as superheroes dealing with important factors.

One day, in the middle of the Middle East, a huge explosion killed many superheroes. It was an incident in which a criminal in crisis blew himself up while overpowering a criminal who fled to the Middle East carrying chemical weapons and large amounts of explosives. About 50 superheroes out of about 100 heroes nearby were killed in a massive explosion and about 50 were injured. I heard that the dead in the incident were also included in the superhero you admired, and I couldn't believe it. I looked up the list of missionaries myself, but I soon realized that it was true. There was something caught in your eyes when you were saddened by the death of the respected person. Because I found something strange in common on the list of the dead in the case. It was that all heroes, except one superhero, were superheroes belonging to the first faction among the names found on the list of the dead. You feel strange about this case.

It wasn't the only weird thing. It was a dangerous mission for the majority of the superheroes of the first faction to be dispatched, and it was so strange that no one knew about it until the second faction broke out. You immediately went to the first faction to question the case. The first faction, as large as the scale of the incident, took urgent action first, and by chance, the superhero of the second faction, who was returning from a mission around him, helped the mission, but only responded to the official position that it was regrettable that the mission had failed. Feeling that there must be something to hide, you began to dig deep into the bombing. After several days of research, you found a suspicious movement of the first faction. The arrival of the first faction's superhero was very fast, compared to the considerable distance from the association that was dispatched at the time of the incident to the Middle East. However, all of the superheroes dispatched were combat-specific, and it was so suspicious that there was not a single hero with superpowers related to transportation or movement. The first faction thought it meant that superheroes had already been dispatched before the incident was reported, or that they had already been deployed and put on standby in the Middle East. You were attacked by unidentified men on your way to pursue the first faction with this information. The identity of the monster is the survivor of a massive bombing in the Middle East, and it was to get rid of you digging into secrets.

You managed to escape to the gangsters, saving your life, but at one point you were disguised as a criminal who attacked superheroes and reported in the media. Only then did you realize that everything was done by the first faction. As a criminal, you insisted on your innocence, but the first faction tried in advance so that no one listened to you or believed you. The superheroes you drew in your dreams were contemptuous and disgusting. A man came to you who had been hiding and running away for a while as a fugitive. He introduced himself as a Gunther locker feller and told the story that he wanted to help you. Peter Lakerfeller, like you, said he had questioned the case and that he had reached the truth by investigating it. According to Lakerfeller, a massive bombing in the Middle East was fabricated, not an incident that occurred while overpowering a criminal who was running away with chemical weapons and a large amount of explosives, but an attack on a superhero by the first faction. You were very angry when you heard that.

Lakerfeller said he believed that outstanding superheroes were enough to prove their value and necessity. But the result was terrible, and I started to take my mouth off slowly.

"I've lived for a hero all my life, and it's the same now."

"But what are those who are called heroes now?"

"Just heroes who are hard to find justice."

"Take it away, or with your appearance, the world will find another justice."

Gunther Lakerfeller handed you a battle suit and an old note and avoided your seat. The notes contained the names of about 100 superheroes, about 50 of whom had been processed for death. You had an instinctive intuition of what this note was. And then I took the suit that Boxer Lacquerfeller gave me. Wearing a suit, you become notorious for attacking a spoiled superhero. To reclaim a degraded definition without executing it. That was the new definition you found. You call yourself an Avenger who represents rotten justice, not a hero of justice, or a criminal who attacks the hero. On top of the name on the note given by Lakerfeller, the diagonally roughened black was already dry a long time ago.

"Yes, I am rotten. I will restore justice to you."
