Personality Broken Hero

17 – Episode 17

I’m a 21-year-old college student working part-time at a convenience store.

The difference from ordinary convenience store part-time jobs is that the surroundings are entertainment districts.

Convenience store’s main customers are people who use brothels or prostitutes, job seekers, pimps, and proxy drivers.

Most customers could tell what they were doing at a glance.

Those who carry daily bags often use ATM machines, and most of the drivers buy food that is easy to eat.

Women in business establishments wear clothes that reveal their bodies at a glance, and wear risque clothes that they would normally only wear.

Pimps are obviously tall, or their limbs are covered in tattoos.

Usually after 3:00 in the morning, customers stop coming, so it’s the most convenient time.

And there is a grandfather who always comes around this time.

You might want to know what’s special about the grandfather who comes at dawn, but this grandfather looks like he’s in his 70s, and he’s wearing medals piled up on his clothes.

In addition to that, the shabby, loose-fitting clothes show off the tremendous muscles… Even though I’m in my early 20s, I could imagine that this grandfather would easily defeat me even if he had no special abilities.

My grandfather seems to be a bit distracted, muttering “What were you doing?” He would hold out several won bills, or suddenly utter gibberish old words that he didn’t know what they meant.

Every time this grandfather came, I thought, ‘He looks like a former hero, but his family doesn’t take care of him.’

Contrary to his outward appearance, the muscular grandfather always uses honorifics and treats him politely. I could easily imagine how kind and considerate he must have been even in his youth.

I was leisurely fiddling with my phone when I heard a commotion and looked outside.

A man who at first glance looked like a pimp was having a raucous conversation with a woman who looked like a prostitute outside.

And then, the muscular grandfather was approaching the convenience store.

The man who had been laughing and talking at the woman in front of the door didn’t see his grandfather, swung his arm in an exaggerated gesture as if explaining something, and struck his grandfather.

‘Ah, what should I do…’

Looking at the old man from the outside, he seems to be in good shape, and he seemed surprised for a while because of the medals hanging from him.

‘Should I call the police? What if I get retaliated against?’

While he was thinking about various things, he dropped his cell phone in surprise at what was happening in front of him.

Tattoo Chung tried to shove his grandfather, but in the blink of an eye, the back of Tattoo Chung’s head burst open, covering the front of the convenience store with brain fluid and blood.

“Kyaaa”

Blood and brain-like flesh flowed from the glass of the convenience store door, and a wrinkly-looking part of the brain was dangling as it got caught in the handle of the stainless steel convenience store door.

I stared blankly in amazement at the horrific sight unfolding before my eyes, and then I felt sick to my stomach.

Uwehehehe

The body of Tattoo Chung, whose head was half blown off while still standing, fell backwards and fell in front of the convenience store door.

Soon, the woman’s head, which had been screaming, exploded at the back as if a firecracker exploded, dyeing the tree in front of her convenience store bright red.

Ding~Dong~

The alarm bell rang indicating that a guest had arrived.

The old man came into the convenience store with his blood dripping from one of his hands.

The old man, who usually looked sluggish, was stretching her chest to the fullest today, and her eyes, which seemed lifeless, were full of enthusiasm and ambition today.

‘Is this how I die?’

As the old man approached, his hands and feet trembled, and he felt a warm feeling in his calf.

“Bachelor Yvesho. We have an evacuation order here. The suppression operation is underway. Get out of here quickly.”

With that said, I took a medal from his chest and put it in his hand.

“If you go out with this, you won’t be misunderstood as an organization. Just say it was given to you by Invincible Taekwondo.”

He stared blankly at his grandfather, holding a bloody medal in his hand.

“What are you doing not going out soon? Staying here is dangerous.”

At his grandfather’s urging, he pulled his wobbly legs and went outside.

Blood was leaking from the corpse in front of the door, staining the sidewalk.

Huh… Black

Crying, I followed the old man’s guidance and walked out to the side of the road.

“I’m busy right now and I have to go, so hurry over there.”

I ran frantically through the deserted streets, shedding tears.

——————————————–

Not much has happened these days, so I was spending time casually chatting with my colleagues in the response team.

Today’s partner was senior Kim Lee-taek, who has the ability to accelerate, and he was playing a mobile phone game.

“Ahhh~ Cubs ended up putting 30 million won on it and pulling it out.”

Senior Kim Yi-taek used to spend tens of millions of won on cell phone games while complaining to his wife about being ripped off every time.

“No, senpai, you were kicked out of your house last time and slept in the response team. Are you screaming again?”

“If I don’t follow you this time, I can’t because I’m going to fall behind. Even if I get scolded, I can’t give in this time. Aren’t you kidding?”

I don’t know why they play such a black beef game, but I thought it was because it happened so often.

When the phone rang, I answered the phone right away.

“Yes, this is Nikolai from the Special Ability Response Team.”

“Yes, I am Inspector XX of XX Police Station. The suspect has not been identified yet, but it seems that an indiscriminate murder has occurred.

It hasn’t been long since I thought it was good to be free these days, but as expected, a request for support came in.

“Oh, yes, I understand.”

“Case Code USD- One One Four. Incident Code USD- One One Four.”

I immediately took note of the case code.

“Senior, should I go?”

“No, you’ve been sick lately, but I’ll go.”

“Okay. It’s like USD-one one four.”

“See you later, I’ll go and buy some snacks.”

The senior entered the case code into his smartphone, took a tungsten three-stage bar, and disappeared in an instant.

When I see him typing so fast, sometimes I envy his ability to accelerate.

——————————————–

The place to be dispatched after receiving a request for assistance was an area famous for its red light district.

Politicians and police are intertwined in various ways and can crack down on them right away and expose them all, but it is an area that has been tolerated for a long time due to the circumstances of adults.

I heard that you tried to wipe it out during the war against the previous organization villains, but I heard that after all the large organizations were wiped out, the few moderate and small organizations survived and took their place.

“Wow… Is this a bit harsh?”

We arrived at a convenience store near the entertainment district, and there were two corpses strewn about.

“Lee Taek-san. You seem like a high-ranking person, right?”

“Hasn’t the suspect been identified yet?”

“Convenience store CCTV doesn’t record, but only shows real-time video, so I couldn’t confirm it. Even the people who worked at the convenience store, they only showed traces and were confused.”

“What about a psychometrist?”

“Ah, I have to wait for a while because there are no people waiting.”

“If you are around…”

For a moment, a shadow fell over the cop I was talking to, and I immediately used my acceleration ability.

When I looked up at the sky, a muscular old man was falling from the sky.

Without time to say anything, I pushed the cops away and ran away.

The assailant immediately extended his fist to me.

It was very fast, but I was able to hit the assailant’s arm with the tungsten triplet while avoiding it enough because I developed only the acceleration ability to the limit without any other fighting ability.

‘Ping?’

I frowned at the disparate sound that was different from when it touched a human body.

‘I hit the top of my clothes, but that sound, I didn’t see any change on the outside, what kind of ability is it?’

Thinking about the opponent’s ability, I accelerated and caught the opponent’s back.

Without missing the perfect strike opportunity, he swung a triple stick to the back of the head. But surprisingly, the opponent reacted and raised his forearm to block it.

The assailant seemed to have more abilities than I thought. This time he looked through the gaps revealed between the buttons on his sleeves, appearing and disappearing as the bluish membrane parried the blows.

‘Shield Ability!’

Very few people can use the shield ability so quickly and so precisely that it’s almost imperceptible in real combat.

I turned my body towards me, saw the assailant staring at me, and raised my acceleration again to catch up with me.

While running at breakneck speed, I tried to dodge the blue film that suddenly appeared on the floor, but I was already accelerating so much that I couldn’t help but stumble and fall, even with my eyes open and staring.

I couldn’t help but fly while floating in the air, and when I turned his head, the assailant was charging in the direction I was flying.

‘f*ck…’

The acceleration ability didn’t help at all in a situation where you couldn’t step on your feet, and you could only helplessly watch death approach.

Floating in the air, I looked at the assailant who rushed at me before my body even touched the ground. Old, unused hero medals were hung on the chest of a muscular old man who looked to be in his 70s.

All I could do while watching the old man’s foot fly into my face was to tilt my head and try to minimize the damage as much as possible.

Pahak

The last thing that caught my eye was an approaching foot with a blue protective shield around the point of impact.

——————————————–

As soon as I picked up the handset, I heard an urgent voice.

“The dispatched response team and many police heroes have lost contact. A level 2 alert is issued as of the current time. A one five. A one five. Please apply immediately.”

The case where the case code starts with A is only when a large number of heroes are sacrificed and the villain is missed. At this time, most of the high-ranking heroes are summoned in an emergency, and military units are also mobilized.

“f*ck…”

Soon after that, the disaster warning sirens began to sound.

Wheeeing

The alarm sounds continuously.

This alarm sound is triggered when it is dangerous to evacuate into a building.

Thanks to rigorous alarm discrimination training, there will probably be few people wandering around outside.

As I typed in the case code, I prayed that my senior didn’t die.

When countless high-ranking heroes flock like bees, the villains are usually subdued in an instant, but until then, the senior may be alive.

I’ve usually teased him for being a mosquito, but his acceleration ability is amazing, and I’m a very fast person so that if I want to win, I have to look a few steps ahead and use up my stamina to barely have a chance.

Leaving behind his uneasy mind, he hurriedly left the response team.

I flew to the requested area, but the cars were roughly stopped with medium-gu heating, and there was no human being at all on the street at night when the streetlights were shining.

I was flying as fast as I could, but corpses began to appear sparsely around the target area.

I saw the destroyed vehicles and the bloodied and motionless cops.

Police heroines wearing police hero uniforms were also scattered on the street with their body parts missing.

This was the place where the emergency support request was made, but no one was seen moving.

As I circled around and looked around, I noticed something moving at high speed and entering the surrounding buildings.

“You f*cking bastard…”

I flew right in and followed him into the building when something flew into my face.

I was hit and bounced back before I had time to react.

I was surprised by the unexpected surprise and shock, but when I regained my senses and succeeded in using my flying ability to stop in mid-air, I saw a body covered in blood and covered with something that looked like flesh in some places.

It was a large old man.

The old man was about to run, but when he saw me straighten up in the air, he went back into the building.

This time, preparing for an attack at any time, I followed him into the building, and I felt that my forehead had been torn, and the blood was slowly flowing down.

Perhaps the opponent has a slightly lower level of high-level body enhancement ability than me…

When I entered the building, I saw bloodstains leading to the broken door, and I went inside nervously, but a fist flew at a menacing speed.

I immediately dodged my fist, kicked the ground, and even used my flying ability to punch the opponent in an instant, and a blue film formed in the air to catch my fist.

The blue membrane blocked my fist and shattered and disappeared.

“The villain has good strength.”

An old man who hadn’t said anything until now started talking to me.

“Villain?”

“Yeah. This nose is an organization Billan. Are there anything to eat in Korea?”

“I…”

As I was talking, the old man suddenly rushed in and attacked me.

Pang

I avoided the fist, but I couldn’t block the low kick that immediately followed. My right leg was tingling.

I immediately counterattacked and attacked the old man, but as if I knew it, I avoided or blocked it, and the accelerated attack using my flying ability was properly drained using a shield.

No matter how you look at it, the fighting ability of an old man who looked like he was in his 70s was at a level that could never be achieved in a short period of time.

In addition, there was no overwhelming difference in body strengthening ability, so it was not easy to win.

It cuts off the flow of attacks by creating a protective shield where the feet will step midway through, and counterattacks.

Feeling the blood dripping down from my forehead and dripping from the tip of my chin, I thought it would be difficult to see the match in a short time.
