Chapter 255: Latecomers

With great power comes great responsibility.

Some may agree, some may disagree, but one thing is for sure.

And that is.

‘With great power, comes great interest…’

“Oh no…”

I muttered as I tossed and turned in bed.

The price of the brain-accelerating doping pills I had taken before the Knight of God Raid to ensure the success of the operation had finally arrived.

Is this why our ancestors told us not to rely on drugs…?

The good news, of course, is that the after-effects aren’t as severe as the ones I suffered after using my powers. I woke up in a flash, unlike the week-long blackout after my last attack.

“Da-in…!”

Of course, it had been a long time since I’d fainted, so I was a bit apologetic for worrying everyone, but whatever.

I was able to get back to my feet pretty quickly, which is weird since I didn’t do it myself in the first place.

Anyway, now that I’ve beaten that Knight of God we just need to focus on those otherworldly monster-loving Moonlight Church bastards until the scourge of the Cult’s heart-pounding monster summoning!

“…..”

Aside from that, I had other things on my mind.

“Stardus….”

Yep. Something about her.

‘…Okay. Will you tell me later?’

“Mm-hmm…”

After three days of forced bed confinement by the overly worried Soobin and Ha-yul, after my collapse, I was able to return to my room.

I sat there in my chair, spinning in circles, worrying too much about Stardus.

…Something about her demeanor has softened, hasn’t it?

Of course, I could be mistaken. There’s no reason for her, the hero, to be softer toward me, the villain.

But something….

Thinking back to our recent conversations…I think we’ve gotten pretty far away from the normal hero/villain relationship. How many times have I saved her in the first place, and how many times has she saved me directly or indirectly?

‘…Yeah. I must be mistaken, right?’

…For the time being, I had no choice but to conclude that.

It was a ridiculous hypothesis to begin with, and it was more plausible that Stardus knew she couldn’t get me anyway, so she was lulling me into a false sense of security and planning to catch me. Scary, Stardus. How far can you see…!

“….”

Okay. Rather than worrying about such trivialities, why don’t I focus on the Moonlight Gate so that it won’t destroy the Earth?

With that thought, I dialed the number.

Let’s go check the PMC.

***.

The four I’ve been training for the Moonlight Gate catastrophe.

In fact, they were a group of talented individuals that I assembled after much thought.

Lee Se-gum is a swordsman, Seo Chae-young specializes in long-range sniping, Heo Da-hee is a tank who can take a beating, and San-sua supports them.

“Well… They’re all learning hard.”

He answered my question so vaguely.

Of course, it wouldn’t be easy for someone who has lived an ordinary life to learn combat techniques against great beasts right away. It will probably take some time.

Still, everyone seemed to be picking only those with good character, so there wasn’t much of a problem.

“Anyway, I’ve asked everyone to wait in the training center auditorium over there to greet Master Dain. Why don’t you stop by and talk to them face to face…”

Lee Se-gum asked me.

It’s like he caught exactly what I was going to say and prepared in advance. I didn’t see them during the second-year students’ face-to-face interview, but I should take a look.

“Okay. Let’s go.”

“Yeah!”

With that, I headed to the auditorium where the 12 PMC 2nd year students were waiting.

And then

“Hick….!”

“We’re here, we’re here!”

“Is that the teacher of the teachers…?”

I could only stare in disbelief as they all stood there, straight and tall, oohs and aahs in unison.

…Is this the PMC, the army of psychics…?

“No… What’s wrong with them?”

“Haha…That.”

Seo Chae-young touched her hair as if to shrug it off.

Apparently, it’s good to talk about me as if I’m a scary person when teaching kids, so that’s what she did. If they don’t do it right, I, the head of the PMC, will come and beat them up, or something like that…..

Well. It’s not a bad way to go, because fear of the higher-ups can make an organization more cohesive.

Anyway, that’s not the point, so I’ll say what I have to say.

I stood at the front of the auditorium, looked down at the kids, and gave a sort of speech about how happy I was to see them.

I basically said that they have a very important role to play, and we needed to get to work to bring peace in this country as soon as possible. Something like that.

“Huh…”

…What’s wrong with them?

When I was done, I turned to the kids.

“Did you get it?”

“”””Yes!!!””””

“…..”

They all cheered up, and the cheer was huge.

“Okay. Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go.

With that, I had a final conversation with the PMC kids and headed back home.

Good, our Moonlight Gate Beasts opponent legions are developing well.

With that thought, I dialed a number somewhere.

…An international call, to be precise.

“Good morning, Katana.”

Okay, time to get to work.
