EP.27 EP2. Heroine Contest (2)
– Droopy, thump.
A faint vibration in the buzzing ileum.
The spectators, who felt it, began to look at the ceiling and walls, puzzled.
“Why isn’t it a bit noisy?”
“Heh heh, it must be something like preparing for this and that. Do you want villains to come here?”
“Hey, no matter how many villains are crazy, there is no way they will attack this place. We take it easy and wait for the contest to take place.”
Yes, because this is the camp of heroes in the first place.
There is plenty of room for the spectators in the banquet hall.
Their interest was entirely focused on the contest to be held later.
“By the way, who do you think will win this time?”
“Well, isn’t that obvious? Of course, it must be Pam Fatal Familia. Didn’t her participants even halve as soon as she heard that she was also serving as her retirement ceremonial?”
Farm Fatal Familia.
After becoming a hero, Pampa Tal has been engaged in the entertainment industry without a break, and has won the hearts of all with her unique charisma and dignity.
Literally, an existence worthy of the name ‘femme fatale’.
In the entertainment world, it is the hero called Pampa Taal that receives a higher evaluation than any S-class hero.
“Hey, there is no chance of winning as long as Pam Fatal participated, so it would be better to abstain at some point. Still, if you’re looking for a winner… … .”
“What about Spiritas?”
A word that someone suddenly mentioned.
The people around him looked at each other’s eyes, and then burst out snoring and calming the atmosphere.
“Yeah, sure, she’s a great person. From the start, she has risen to the S-class position, and unlike Pam Fatal, who is about to retire, there is a lot of room to raise her awareness… … .”
“But it would be impossible. This stage is not a fight, but a contest between beauty and individuality. What’s more, isn’t recognition the result of inheriting the feat of the former squadron?”
I can’t see it as a positive thing… … . No, rather a series of evaluations closer to the negative side.
It is only natural that such an atmosphere was created.
For some high-ranking people and top celebrities in the entertainment world, Spiritas was considered a thorn in the eye.
“Jack Horse. He said that the power he possesses can only be passed on to the incompetent.”
“But all he did was sit in the seat he made for him… … . I don’t know the level of recognition, but in terms of being a human being or being a hero, it must be a body that is lacking in many ways.”
“But why did Jack Horse choose her? It is also incomprehensible.”
“Yes, it is. Even if only an F-class can inherit that power, there must be a more suitable person. They come from a famous family or have an outstanding bloodline.”
“It is incomprehensible to even choose an orphan from the military academy.”
Was longing too much?
In the end, the negative gaze towards the existence of future generations led to disparaging even the choices made by idols, but nonetheless, no one in the field could restrain their actions.
Those who made that choice could no longer stand on the stage, and it was impossible to rebuke them for their mistakes.
“Then, let’s start the heroine contest from now on!”
“Ah, it’s a slow start.”
Such pretense and ridicule subsided with the event that soon began, even for a young conversation.
The only thing sitting in the audience is the desire to appreciate the already clear results.
In the midst of these people’s gazes gathered together, the host read the script in my hand and proceeded with the contest.
“Well, this time
Who will be the best Miss Heroine of the season? The first contestant is an A-class that everyone here knows about.
A hero and a living legend… … . This is the great star Pampal Familia!!”
– Clap clap.
The curtain opens with a loud applause echoing in the venue.
When the elderly woman who appeared with him glanced at the venue, blushes began to appear one by one on the faces of those who met those eyes.
The charisma that still remains even in old age. Achieving her victory was by no means unfounded conviction.
“ladies and gentlemen. And citizens and heroes. I would like to sincerely thank you for coming here today.”
Eventually, when the applause stopped, Pampal Fatal bowed his head politely.
Despite the age of the elderly, the off-white color felt in his voice melted the hearts of people in the field and captured their attention.
“To you
As I said, I am retiring as a hero after today’s contest and I am also going to step down from the entertainment industry. As I have been working for a very long time
I’ve been through a lot, but I feel a lot of regret for that. Especially when I get off the stage like this, people who remember me disappear.
It even makes me wonder if… … .”
A pamper who expresses anxiety with a sweet voice.
At her words, some people burst into laughter without knowing it.
Isn’t she a woman who is said to be equal to the person who was called ‘Cheonma’ only when it comes to her recognition in the entertainment industry?
To think that she will be forgotten after she retires.
Anyone who knew her status would consider it a joke.
“Unfortunately, I am very greedy, and it is so sad to be forgotten like this.”
But what she says is no joke.
She is truly afraid of being forgotten.
That is why, more than anyone else, he longed to be remembered by others.
“I would like to take this opportunity to give you a strong memory that you will never forget… … . I hope you like it.”
okay.
At this moment, the curtains behind the stage opened and the things thrown were the preparations for that.
“… … uh?”
“What, what is this… … ?”
A sphere that spews a fishy liquid and falls all over the venue.
The faces of those who picked it up with a feeling of doubt began to turn pale one by one.
“Ahhhh!”
Then a man screamed and threw it to the floor.
People who are terrified of it and take a step backwards.
The only thing that caught their eye later was the head lying on the floor.
“Hey, hey! What is this?!”
Yes, it was the head.
It is also the heads of those who have been confirmed to participate in this heroine contest.
“Farm Fatal! What the hell is this… … !!”
A ‘quad-duk!’ sound echoed from the body of a guest who shouted in embarrassment.
Something sprung up from the floor of the venue and dug into his body.
“Ouch, uh… … .”
Guests pouring blood from their bodies.
What came into view, which was gradually blurring, was a vine that had risen from the floor.
The place where the stem continued was none other than under the skirt of the Pam Fatal Familia standing on the stage.
“Ahhhh!!!”
“What, what, why…”
“Everyone run away!!”
Such slaughter does not stop with one person, but is turning the entire venue into a chaos.
Coincidentally, only the masters of the entertainment industry and businessmen are present here.
Their bodies, which did not even have a gift, had no choice but to be ripped apart by plant stems loaded with superhuman strength.
Moreover, I never thought that a hero who is not a villain, even a person who has been living as a hero for decades, would do such a thing.
“Evacuate everyone!!”
A hero who noticed such a commotion belatedly appeared. In case of an emergency, it was the Bone Dragon, an A-class hero called out to protect the venue.
The bones that sprouted from its body like armor are due to the durable ability ‘Bone Armor’.
He used that power to withstand the attacks of many villains, but the current situation was shocking to him, who had experienced numerous dangers so far.
The oldest A-class hero I respect, killing my juniors.
That’s not enough, even the leaders of the industry are horribly slaughtered.
“Farm Fatal! Why are you doing this… … !!”
As soon as such embarrassment was spit out, the hand of the Pampal Familiar stretched out.
At that moment, the gap between his palms widened and something extended out swallowed the dragon.
“Hey, you can’t relax in front of the enemy.”
Woods, that is, that is. A gigantic plant wriggling with a squeaking sound.
Beneath the giant plant, commonly referred to as the Fly Hell, an arm believed to belong to the Bone Dragon fell.
An amputation of an arm with a bony sprout. The liquid covering that part was relentlessly melting even the hard bones.
– Kwaddeuk, Kwajak!
The moment when you immediately know what will happen to the being inside.
The faces of the guests who had seen the situation changed to contemplation in an instant.
‘There is a difference in experience, but it’s so easy to use the same A-class bone dragon… … ?’
No, it can’t be.
Although Pam Fatal Familia is a legend in the entertainment industry, he is only a second-class figure in battle.
Her gift, ‘Gaia Bless’, can be used as a binding force by growing the seeds in her body, but it cannot produce destructive power enough to destroy a durable gift at once.
Only those who have reached the rank of S-class are able to do that.
“Farm Fatal!! Why the hell are you doing this?!”
– Wow!!
A thorn vine that is swayed by the person who makes a sound that is incomprehensible.
While his whole body was raging and falling apart, Pampa Tal raised his hand with a stalked stalk with a characteristic smile.
“Didn’t I tell you before? Because I am a greedy person, I hope that even a little more people will remember me.”
A vine that gradually begins to grow after activating the ability.
The teeth sprouting from the flowers that grew from it begin to crackle as if searching for prey.
“But the fortress is an era in which information is transmitted very quickly, so there is no need for many people to see it.”
Yes, she wants one thing.
It is only that this slaughter of the present is passed on to more people.
And the more stimulating the information, the more deeply it is embedded in people’s brains.
“Come on, let’s start the show properly!”
Immediately after putting superhuman force into the vines connected to his body to spur the slaughter for him.
– Kwaga River!!
An afterimage that appeared through the wall of the venue collided with the body of Pampa Tal.
The body pushed by him broke the window of the castle, and eventually fell into the middle of the garden.
“… … hahahaha. This, at this age, you didn’t know that you could eat a room with your juniors?”
The damage from the fall was mitigated by using flowers wrapped around the body.
After that, Pampital, who raised himself up, quietly stared at the person who pulled him out of the venue.
Towards a blonde woman in a pink and sky blue dress.
“It’s the first time we’ve met in person like this, kid.”
“Oh yes, it is. Pam Fatal-senpai.”
What was painted on that face was extreme anger in contrast to the sneer.
Spiritas raised his hands together and made a clattering sound, and then looked at his senior, who was soaked in blood.
“No, should I call you Villain Pampatal now?”
Yes, the person in front of me was no longer a hero.
No matter what your achievements so far, what your popularity is, and what your reasons are.
Because the opponent was a person who had committed the slaughter of innocent people.
“I wish I could call you Miller. My close friends call me that.”
“Then I’ll compromise and call you motherf*cker, you motherf*cker!!”
Now, even the honorable spirits have lost their spirits.
Having already seen what she had done, there was no pretense of mercy or respect.
see now
Aren’t fragmented limbs dangling from the plant stems that sprouted from her body?
“why.”
People die is something I’ve always seen.
Although I wish it would never happen, I am not afraid to turn my back on it in fear of what happened.
However, at this moment, the impact of Spiritas had to be unique.
The person in front of me is a person who participated in the Great War 3 years ago.
“Why did you do this? Why did you, who assisted that person… … !!”
Before becoming independent as an A-class hero, it was because he was in charge of the sidekick of the person who handed over his power to him.
“okay… … . You were his successor.”
From the embarrassment and hatred of such a junior, Pampital feels nostalgic for the past.
But what was revealed more than that was nothing but abomination.
The heinousness of trying to compare himself to himself with the power he has inherited from the subject, who is still an inexperienced kid.
“But you better not think that I’m going to step down just because I’m the heir of an old partner. You, who have been receiving the attention of everyone from the beginning, will not understand how people like me feel.”
“Shut up you motherf*cker!! For whatever reason, you shouldn’t expect anyone to understand you at the time you did something like this!!”
Eventually, the moment the fist was swung, a sonic boom exploded, and the waves from it began to rush toward the pampal fatale.
However, the shock did not hit Pampathal’s body.
The huge tree trunk that soared before him completely blocked the storm that was about to sweep me away.
“what… … .”
“I hope you don’t underestimate the fact that you inherited his power. I have lived as a hero 30 times more than yours.”
After a while, Pampital, who burst out laughing leisurely, gently raised his hand.
A syringe was held by the plant stem that moved with him.
The moment the tip was stuck in my throat, Pampa Tal’s body began to revitalize gradually.
“If I had the means to gain power equal to that of you… … . Whoa, what will be the outcome of this fight?”
The appearance of the heyday appearing as the wrinkles of the body gradually disappear.
With him, the aura that soared throughout her body taught her that at this moment, her superhuman power became equal to hers.
***
and… … .
“Huh. This is true.”
The president who turned into a chaos in an instant.
After walking through the corpse field that filled it, I carefully looked at the syringe the guy I had beaten was holding.
“I know roughly. How is it going?”
The red H on the syringe is a trademark of Hell Scout, a pharmaceutical company in the back world.
It was a company owned by one of Ouroboros’ officers before the war.
