Chapter 41: Crisis Management
Alright.
Let's put together the situation.
First of all, my plan was like this.
I will scold that Monkey Tap Dance because he made me angry.
To do that, I will create an agro while he films a live threatening video.
If he gets panicked and stops filming, I will try to provoke him and piss him off.
Finally, I will squeeze out the last bit of my telekinesis and kill his men with one shot.
Then he'll think I'm super strong and be wary.
Eliminating them with a flick of the fingers. I’m scared of what's going to happen if I flick my fingers twice..
Usually, I would teleport right after that.
I was going to grab Seo-eun and Soobin after saying some ment like ‘Oh, it’s boring… There’s nothing to see here.” and stuff.
It's nice to act like you don't want to fight with a common criminal.
Honestly, I was going to get my car, leave the chaotic Busan behind and go back to Seoul.
However, there was a setback in the plan.
No, I think it's a little too much for this telekinesis or whatever it is.
I thought that I could do it, but I couldn’t do this much.
I've had a feeling since I flicked my fingers and manipulated using my telekinesis. What kind of feeling? A feeling that I would be doomed.
And at this moment, I cannot move. Ta-dah.
So I changed my plan.
It's the plan B of Egostic. Getting out of the hell’s trap.
Pretending to be a black screen, scaring the opponent with my words as if I could kill them with just a hand gesture
I’m hanging in there. Until when? Until the hero comes.
The North Sea Ice Girl will probably come, and it will take some time for her to come.
Until then, the key is to keep Monkey Spanner's feet tied… It was like that.
Oh my! Ta-dah? The North Sea Ice Girl is finally here!
With Shadow Walker and Stardus.
"……"
Fuck, what the hell is this?
"Monkey Spanner! Tell your men to put their guns down and surrender. You're surrounded!"
Stardus' loud voice echoed in the spacious hotel lobby.
It was a pleasant experience for a fan to actually hear her voice, which I could only see in the comic books. I feel like I'm watching a live-action movie.
Yeah, but it'd be better if it weren't for now, right?
"I will say it one more time! Put the gun down and…"
Stardus' voice that was so loud.
Gradually, it decreased.
Because no matter how much she looks around…
There were no armed robbers with guns.
"……?"
She cannot hide her expression of wonder at the unexpected situation.

The North Sea Ice Girl who came in with her also looked confused. Of course, they would. I suppressed the armed robbers, and they’re now lying on the ground.
Monkey Spanner is on the verge of escape.
"Eek… Ugh!”
In a situation that is getting even messier, he tried to escape first but was suppressed by Shadow Walker.
"No matter how weak I am right now… I can still catch you, you know?”
Shadow Walker climbed on top of Monkey Spanner before he knew it, suppressed him with the shadow.
Thanks to that, Monkey Spanner was rolling on the ground like he was doing nothing.
His hands, feet, and mouth are all shadowed.
He was curiously terrorizing with his men, but in just a few minutes, he lost all his men and even himself was arrested.
No matter how much Monkey Spanner flies and crawls freely.
He cannot win over Shadow Walker once the night comes.
That's for sure.
But of course, Shadow Walker’s condition seems to be a little bad right now.
He’s stumbling.
Of course, that’s not the point. Even though it looks weird, he easily overpowered Monkey Spanner.
Seeing Monkey Spanner was crushed by a weakened Shadow Walker and had his head stuck on the ground…
Erm… poor thing.
I feel sorry for him.
If I do something wrong, I would be like that, too…
The eyes of Shadow Walker, who suppressed the Monkey Spanner, turned to me.
Gosh, of course, he has no choice but to look at me. A stranger sitting cross-legged on top of a chair tower.
North Sea Ice Girl and Stardus did the same.
North Sea Ice Girl is puzzled by me, Stardus looks a little nervous.
Well, come to think of it.
They haven’t found out that I’m Egostic yet, right?
The situation is over and they raided the scene, so they don't even know what happened. I turned off the live broadcast even before that Mongo Spanner could appear.
Crucially, the mask is different. I usually used to wear the half-gray mask, now it's a yellow mask that covers my entire face.
Shadow Walker, who succeeded in suppressing the Monkey Spanner, looked up at me with a quizzical look on his face as if he was questioning, ‘What's wrong with that guy?’
Looking up at me, a tired-looking Shadow Walker opened his mouth.
"…Who are you? We came to take Monkey Spanner…"
Speaking so far, he looked around.
Dozens of armed terrorists who are somehow lying bloodied.
And Monkey Spanner was standing in an awkward position.
I was there looking down at him with my legs crossed.
A person would have noticed right here with his common sense.
The fact that I'm the one who finished them all.
Then they’re questioning in their heads now.
‘Who is that guy?’
It's too much to be called a hero. Because I killed everyone. Looking at the arrogant cross-legged, tucked chin up, and sitting there wearing a mask. I look just like a villain.
But what if they see me as a villain? I stopped the terrorist attack. I was confronted by Monkey Spanner. I’m a hero just by looking at my actions. Probably, because they have never seen a hero wearing a mask like that.
North Sea Ice Girl and Stardus' suspicious gaze.
And the eyes of the Shadow Walker, who seems to be trying to see through me.
And I'm having a hard time flicking a finger right now.
What the.
Why are all the A-class heroes in Korea gathered here? Is Monkey Spanner the kind of person they all need to deal with? He’s not!
And why do all three of us suddenly come together when I'm the most helpless right now?
Guys, stop looking at me. I’m going to lose your face.
"……"
A desperate crisis
My head started to turn faster than ever.
I could see Seo-eun and Soobin looking at me from afar with anxious eyes. I cannot see it because it's too far, but wouldn't they have that expression? Don't worry, trust me! This difficulty can be dealt with.
Firstly, my physical strength?
First of all, my goal. Teleport and take those two to the car. We will take off fast.
I only need to teleport with that distance. It's not far.
If I were fine now, I would have taken off right away.
But the problem is that I’m not okay.
A few minutes.
Just give me a few more minutes, and I think I can get away. I don't know how my body will be ruined after it flicks, but…
Just a few more minutes anyway.
And I’m a great villain to create those minutes in this crisis.
How many hero movies have I seen so far?
I can do it.
Those three who are still looking at me.
What was the question?
Oh, they asked who I was.
I have to answer well here.
Saying "I'm Egostic" is suicide.
The three of them will just jump in and beat me up. And then my body and mind will be very painful. So it will absolutely not work.
My purpose is to stall time.
To stall, I shouldn't let them attack me on the way.
To do that, I have to fake my identity.
They don't know me, so I should take advantage of that.
The way they see me like they have never seen a man wearing a yellow mango mask who killed so many terrorists in a mysterious way.
I have to threaten them here.
I have to send a fake camera.
Sitting high above, arrogantly looking down at everyone, I slowly opened my mouth.
Don't show any nervousness. Leisurely, as if I was telling the truth
"…Did you ask? I'm an S-class hero."
Yeah, the best joke here is to lie about heroes. I should go with a hero concept that they don't know, not roughly working in Korea. Yeah, but what should my hero’s name be? I never thought about it. Yeah! Anything that looks cool, abstract, metaphorical, first of all!
In the end, I was in a hurry so I said what came to my mind without filtering.
"I'm an S-class hero, Apple Mango."
Oh, fuck.
"….."
I spit out with an arrogant and serious voice the word ‘Apple Mango’.
The atmosphere around me suddenly became chilly at that word.
Three of them looked at me strangely as they heard the word ‘Apple Mango’.
Gosh, this is all because of those commuters.
The comments are saying Mango Stick, Mango Dan, and my brain is contaminated, you crazy people!
I even thought it was mango-colored when I saw the mask earlier, so I think that’s why I spit out such crazy words. I'm finally going crazy.
But what if I'm the S-class hero of the next country who speaks Korean well?
I can make that face with a person's name! You know?!
Stardus frowned at my attitude as if I had just answered the question of name,
"…Apple Mango? We've never heard of an S-class hero with that name."
Sharp point.
No, it's not really sharp either. Of course, she hasn't heard of it. I just made that up…
But these three heroes don’t let it slide.
As a top-notch villain, I have the cheek to go out in this situation.
In a serious and heavy voice as much as possible. In an arrogant voice, I spoke up.
"Of course. Because I'm doing this secretly. Koreans may not know."
The secrets of Ego.
What do you guys know?
Do you have proof?
Anyway, I'm a hero
I put a sheet of iron on my face, and decided to go out shamelessly.
I said, in a heavy, serious voice, again, to sound loud and far.
"You guys. I've heard of it. Shadow Walker, North…Icicle. And Stardus. But aren't you all A-class heroes? The difference between a senior and a junior is like heaven and earth, so use honorifics when everyone talks to me."
I'm a villain who cannot even move right now.
With three heroes who can crush me with their fingers.
That's what I said, brazenly.
I'm a class S, speak formally.
The three of them look at me with their faces as if they were dumbfounded by my sudden sentence.
Whether or not, I was just going out brazenly. Use honorifics, please. Isn't this the country of courteous people in the East?
North Sea ice woman who asks me back absurdly.
"What did you say?"
"You just talked to me informally. Speak formally."
I don't know anymore. Fuckkkkk. Let's try and stop them..
So that night in the lobby of a hotel in Busan, a crazy party was about to take place.
Let's go to the 3rd verse together.
