Ep.192 Room of Four
Since taking over the completed PMC training building from Lee Seola.
After a few days, I brought all the equipment and installed them with Seo-eun and Eun-wol, and finally finished preparing to greet the others.
“…Are you really going to reveal your real name?”
Of course, Seo-eun was worried that I was doing all this using my face and name, but I didn’t think much.
In the first place, Stardus already knew my name and face… Rather, the strategy is to be confident. It didn’t matter because I would only be inside this Yuseong building. There is no way that Lee Seola will expose me to the outside world when she’s also a target of the media.
Just like that, I got an official position as the General Manager of Yuseong Group PMC. What’s the point anyway since I also have the background of being an A-class villain behind…
Anyway, Seo-eun went back home.
Only Eun-wol and I were left in the building.
“Eun-wol… You know, right?”
“Yes, Da-in!”
“Yeah. I only trust you.”
After sending Eun-wol behind the wall like that.
I coughed once, then went to meet our PMC members who would be waiting in the lobby.
Let’s take a look at the Ego Squad members.
***
Later in the original, when the world was almost on the verge of extinction, the villains ran wild and the monsters popped out.
Stardus protected the already ruined country alone, and she portrayed a impoverished life story that cannot be read without tears.
In particular, all heroes fled, and in fact, Stardus is the only one left in the associate, but villains are so crowded. Of course, even though Lee Seola controlled the security to some extent, the country just became a mess.
And to prevent that, I thought, let’s hire other superpower holders. Let’s train them in advance so that they can help Stardus when the end comes later. So that she doesn’t have to do everything on her own.
Therefore, what I do now is essential.
These young kids. Don’t you think the kids who will help Stardus protect the world should have a straight mind? Although their abilities are inferior to our Ego Stream elite… That’s because everyone around me is one of the few characters in the original, and these kids are quite strong.
Anyway, I can say that my role is quite important in the end. My goal is to make them grow more and pay for their food.
So I was looking at four kids now.
“Hi. Are you guys the ones who were selected for the Yuseong PMC this time? I’m Da-in who will be in charge of you guys. Please take good care of me.”
“Yes! Hello!”
“…Hello.”
“…hello.”
“…..”
I looked at four kids greeting me.
My Ego Squad… The earliest members of the Yuseong Squad, and the most elite.
After giving a brief statement, I took them down to the open training room underground. Maybe it’s because they’re still unfamiliar, they’re all shy toward each other.
After coming downstairs with the kids, I roughly posed and said in a solemn voice.
“…As long as you’re here, think that all of your identities were thrown away.”
“From now on, you are not individual beings, but members of our Yuseong Squad. Do you understand?”
“I, from now on, willl call you… No.1, No.2, No.3, No.4!”
“…Um, yes.”
Everyone was a bit embarrassed by my sudden words and nodded.
…Well, they all seem nice, too nice. Of course, it’s normal that I’ve chosen only good-natured people through the original comic and private inspection. Of course, there were a lot of people who applied for PMC, but only four of them were selected… I have no regrets.
I then coughed with such thoughts in mind, and told the boy in front of me.
“Now, then, forward to No.1! Show me your skills!”
“….Okay.”
At the end of my sentence, No.1 came forward.
A boy with a sleek sword around his waist, with grey hair tied together. He has a dark expression that looks like he has a story and a personality that he can’t speak quietly.
He, who was called “Quiet Warrior” in the original work. After living as a hound of a criminal organization and running away there, he seems to have applied for our PMC while looking for a place to rely on his body.
In the original comic, he just wandered around without such a thing, and later, appeared for the first time to save people after Wolgwanggyo’s monsters engulfed South Korea. I just remember he being an extra and having a normal ability, but… He was one of the few good-natured people, so he was selected right away.
“Now, this is what you have to fight for!”
After saying that, I pressed the button to launch a skill test machine made by Seo-eun, who was waiting.
The other three were slightly embarrassed when a giant dinosaur-like robot popped out of the wall.
But our white-headed swordsman quietly pulled out his sword without such a stir, and soon rushed toward my test weapon.
[ROAAAAAAAAR!]
So he took the sword and just jumped at the dinosaur. Then the one who started fighting.
What was his ability… He can use the power of the wind or something.
Thanks to this, he can move quickly, and it’s said that he has more destructive ability than ordinary people, perhaps because he can swing with the wind.
Anyway, after fighting like that, No. 1 finally knocked down the dinosaur robot.
I, who was quietly checking his skills while looking at him, nodded and called No. 2.
“Now, No.2. You’re next!”
“Eh… Me? Well, all right.”
The girl who said something half-heartedly and woke up with a bow.
So when I launched another dinosaur robot, the kid took a bow and began to aim quietly at it from a long distance.
Even though there was no bow, a strange arrow of light was created when the demonstration was pulled.
When the kid let go of it like that, the arrow of light rushed at high speed and shoot to the thing. The power didn’t seem so strong but.
I looked at the girl who was running away from such a distance and shooting an arrow with her mouth, “Yap, yap.”
…In fact, she’s not seen in the original. However, I’ve never heard of that kind of ability, and I just recruited her because she seemed to have potential. Gosh, she doesn’t even have arrows. She shoots out arrows? This is such a dream…
Of course, Lee Seola’s thorough background investigation determines that the kid is not a bad one, but anyway.
It took a while and after No. 2 knocked it down, I naturally called No. 3.
“Yes! It’s finally my turn! I’ll show you my skills!”
A girl with red hair, who bursts into laughter as if she were confident.
She seemed to like sports, and she looked active, so she immediately sprang fire from her hands and jumped at the test robot.
No.3. The one in the last part of the original. She also appeared for the first time saving people from the remaining monsters. It’s because she died right after that…
Anyway, she looked like a potential kid. As long as I raise her properly.
She kept punching the monster randomly.
After seeing how hard it was to beat him at the end of the situation, I finally called No. 4.
“Now, go out there!”
“Erm…”
A girl with blue bobbed hair.
She hesitated a little, and then she blew something like a bubble.
…Let’s stop looking into it. Anyway, the skills test of the four was over.
I quietly called them together and said.
“You guys are too weak.”
They look a bit shocked and flustered by what I said.
In a way, it’s normal. It took some time, but we ended up defeating the dinosaur-like weapon. It even spews fire!
But they were obviously weak. Of course, they’re stronger than me, who has two powers teleportation and telekinesis, but they’re embarrassingly weak compared to our Ego Stream members.
In other words, it’s time to give them a shock therapy.
But I said I can’t show them anything with my weak telekinesis, which can make a few uses. As such, this is when Eun-wol, who is hiding behind the wall and watching me, is important.
Now, what I’m best at. Shall we do a show.
Making a ‘You guys are too weak! declaration’, I cried out loudly, looking at the eyes of the kids who were looking at me with bulging gazes, ‘Then how strong are you?’
“Okay, one more test!”
The wall of the training room opened when I shouted that.
There, a rather large dinosaur robot like the one before popped out crying.
I walked quietly forward, smoothing the gloves on my hands.
‘Eun-wol, are you ready?’
I only trust you.
I was standing in front of the big robot after passing the kids.
Spread your wide open hands high into the sky.
Press it and make a strong fist at the same time.
RUMBLEEEEEEE.
The robot in front of me was crushed and exploded with a roar.
It’s as if I grabbed my fist and smashed that robot with some ability.
But the reality is…
‘Thank you, Eun-wol!’
I thanked Eun-wol, who was somewhere on that wall.
Of course, this is a go-stop that Eun-wol and I made. At the moment I clenched my fist, Eun-wol, who was hiding, attacked that instead of me and made it look like as if I had broke it down.
It’s the art of deception, but… There’s no way they know that.
So I felt the hot heat and the splinter from behind.
Turning back from the scene of the explosion, I looked at the kids staring blankly at me who only took a few second to knock down the weapon that they couldn’t knock down in just a few minutes
Smiling, I said as if declaring.
“From now on, you must be strong enough to do this.”
That way, we can help Stardus.
So to do that, of course.
We gotta work, right?
I had an evil laugh at the thought.
Now, it’s time to become a horror training camp assistant in the good of everyone’s Egostic.
***
‘…So strong.’
Lee Segum, the boy with gray hair… No, he’s No.1 now. Looking at a man named Da-in in front of him, he muttered without realizing it.
Others may not have known, but he could feel it because he was sensitive. The moment he clenched his fist, the energy condensed in the middle of the weapon and exploded. That Da-in even deliberately limited his ability.
…In fact, this was Baek Eun-wol’s ability, but he didn’t know that much.
‘…More powerful than those in our organization.’
He held his sword, thinking so.
If he tries to follow him, will he be as strong as him? Then. Can we stop this leftover feeling from the past?
No.1 made such a promise and gave strength to the hand holding his sword. Yeah, let’s try here. And then, he will destroy the organization
…He didn’t expect that he would have to work harder than he thought in the future.
