Chapter 13: I don't have Lincense, so what?
These days, Madana decided to revamp her tech suit. The void gas lines were improved and a thermal insulation system was installed. And it was also soaked in Zect alloy, which is the most famous for strength. She also made a large double-edged blade soaked in Zect alloy with one hand.
The suit, which she named herself Silver Knight, had the power of a C-rank, but still lacked any weapons. Even the weakest C-Mutant can defeat that suit. So she need a weapon. The problem is Madana doesn't have the money to buy a gun. So it became an ancient weapon to cast.
On Monday night, she went to pick up the items soaked in zect from the dump. Zect metal is very rare and the technology to make it is complicated. It is a new type of metal found only on the moon and Suvana, twenty times stronger than ordinary steel, and more malleable than iron and copper. Metal Paladin's outfit is a full Zect metal outfit. Madana can only wait. Even after searching the entire wasteland, she found only a few items soaked in mineral liquid. Good luck though. Normally, it is not easy to remove metal that has already been soaked in metal solution. But the newly acquired Techno-Telekiness and Superhuman IQ helped a lot. Madana became the person who was able to identify the method of extracting metal that no one knew about.
However, after casting the sword and soaking the metal in water, it was not possible to fully soak the metal for the suit. Therefore, she had to add more metals to the Zect alloy and use a lower concentration. There is only a small amount of pure zect metal in the zect metal that people have been using since the beginning Other metals such as Lead, Tin and Iron are mixed and then used.
After everything was prepared, her suit was able to withstand the attack of B-level mutants, and her sword was able to break the protection of B-levels. It went over the whole level. This should be praised for her newly acquired power. Although there were no improvements in strength and speed, Madana did upgrade the suit system's artificial intelligence.
Now her suit has the sword technique of medieval knights, taekwond, karate, judo, Jujitsu styles can be memorized and expressed accordingly. Parkour (a sport of jumping over buildings) has also been included as a movement method.
B: It's not high, but you can't say it's low anymore. Even the New York Hero Association only had a total of forty B-ranks. There are only three hundred B-levels in the entire United States. However, the United States is the country with the largest amount of mutants after the Russian Federation. C levels are close to thirty thousand, so it can be considered abundant. If you calculate the ratio, the ratio of C and B is 98:1. There are only 8 A's on the United States' list, and only two S's, the retired Captain Statesman and Silver Flames.
In terms of power difference, ten D-ranks can be defeated by one C-rank. But it's not too difficult for a B-rank to beat twenty C-ranks. As for the A levels, the B levels don't even count. Even one A- can easily handle five B+. If it's a normal B, they can barely manage twenty or thirty. A+ are insanely powerful. The power of the S ranks is immeasurable. The higher the level, the greater the differences between levels. C- C C+ are not too far apart. But only A- A A+ is significantly different in power.
Little Madana was no longer interested in giving the Paladin Company after upgrading her suit.
"Hon... It's not worth doing for them." First of all, she said that. Before, she was quiet because of his ignorance, but because of the power she gained, she became more aware of the value of her inventions. The alarm radar technology is selling very well, even though there are similar technologies in the market, as its technology can even help A-levels. 3 billion in profit in one year. Of course, Three thousand millions. At the very least, she should get fifty million for his technology and be able to claim equity. But they only gave her eighty thousand dollars... she had to spend sixty thousand dollars to attend the New York Institute of Technology. Now that money is gone. Madana almost screamed.
And as far as she can calculate, the current three-armed police suit has high production costs and is impossible to sell in large numbers, so although it may be less profitable than radar, it can make at least hundreds of millions of dollars and have long-term benefits. So, she has decided not to sell unless she gets twenty millions. The manager doesn't look too good in her eyes anymore. She has been feeling used for a long time. Now it's time to open it up.
Of course, Even If she give her the amount Madana want, she will only sell her the low-level ordinary police armor technology, but not the Silverknight suit technology.
...After the suit was finished, Madana began patrolling the Queens city for the first time.
Madana's image of going after small-time criminals in the city became famous within a few days. Other heroes are not interested in pickpockets or in the issue of stabbing. So she makes a difference.
The people of Queens are used to the image of the silver warrior peering down the city streets through the edge of the roof. His pictures are floating around on the internet.
Even an article called 'New York's real hero' appeared in the journal. No low-ranking hero has received such an honorable mention.
Today is Thursday. The day of the date with Freya is coming. Madana, wearing silver armor, came down from the ground. The vendors on the street waved to him when they saw him. The silver-armored knight also waved to them.
"Good evening everyone. Leave it to me to keep the Queens city safe." While Madana is in a suit, she acts like a boy. While she was walking down the street, a group of schoolgirls came running and surrounded him.
"Sign us, Sir Silver Knight."
"To...the great hero from history, show us your true face?"
The girls took out notebooks and handed them to him. Some of them even asked to sign on the chest of their shirt. Madana in the suit is sarcastic. 'Are you staring at me?' But the good-natured Medana found auto injection for all of them. The blushing girls happily greeted him and ran away.
If Madana was still boy, she would have been happy about this kind of thing. In the past, she was always excited to see people signing before submitting. Now she is the one who pays even more tickets than before. And she fantasizes about being called Sir like a real medieval knight. The problem is that as a girl with a girl's body, she feels like she's bending over herself when she sees other girls rocking her. But she can't like boys either. Since her mind is a boy, if she does that, she will be bent again. Madana's troubles are not yet over.
While she was about to leave, an old woman with newspapers approached her. Newspapers are almost non-existent these days. Books are the same. When she looked carefully, the grandmother was one of the people who was in the crowd while the children were being rescued from the hospital fire.
"Today's young heroes don't like to collect newspapers. I don't know grandma anymore, but there was a hero that grandma used to know. Every time there was news about him in the newspapers, he used to come and buy newspapers from grandma and collect them. Would you like to collect them too?"
Madana did'nt mind to buy a newspaper , so she took a small newspaper. The old lady is quite kind. She took Medana's hand and dragged her into the small shop. She asked her to sit on the back seat and even gave coffee and bread. The problem is, how do you drink without taking off the mask?
Madana wandered into the old grandmother's shop. A shop that sells books and journals, which are rare today. Madana was quite surprised when she saw the opening date and the picture of the shop. This shop is an Argosy bookstore that has been open since 1925. It used to be a big bookstore, but due to time, it seems that it has gradually become a small shop like this one.
"Among the children that the hero saved was the grandmother's granddaughter. Her name is Gusi. The grandmother's only child was born." Grandma took out a large photo album and showed it to Madana. Madana also patrolled the town and planned to return, but since there was nothing else to do, she decided to talk to the old lady.
Madana saw a picture of the grandmother, a man in his forties, and a cute little girl.
"Such a lovely child, but unlucky. I'm in the hospital because of childhood osteoporosis. If I'm not just a hero, I won't have a granddaughter."
The old lady also told her about the hero who used to come to her shop. An A-rank named Kiloman, who coincidentally happened to be Madana's dead uncle again.
Uncle Kiloman is a person who likes to read newspapers. He used to come every year to see her younger sister, Thita. Somehow He found this little shop and became a customer. Although grandmother gave him newspapers for free, Uncle Kilo Mann did not accept them and instead paid for them in kyats. Even though the Suvarnabhumi Kyat is worth less than the dollar, it can still be used in all countries. Grandma kept the money as a souvenir. When she saw the 500 kyat bill with a picture of Kiloman from the album, Madana smiled. In New York, a newspaper costs two and a half dollars, but in Suvarnabhumi kyats, it is about five hundred. Suvarnabhumi's kyat has a slightly higher value than Myanmar's kyat.
Finally, she decided to collect newspapers like her uncle, paid for the newspapers, said goodbye to old lady, and left. When she got home, she made sure to read the newspaper.
The news of Silver Knight was more popular than she thought. Now, because of the pride of heroes, the public doesn't believe in heroes anymore, but they accept Silver Knight as a real hero. Some are even crying. After the hospital fire, they thought their true hero was dead, but he reappeared.
As for Laser Eye, no one cares about him even though he says that he will take serious action on the issue of unlicensed heroes. Who told you solve it? Not long after, Captain Statesman, who was in Boston, came to New York and slapped Laser Eye in the middle of a press conference. He said
"Can't you take action against me and put me in the mutant prison?"
Captain Statesman is also a well-known S rank, but he still has no license. Madana also admired the seventy-year-old veteran hero, who was wearing a blue and red western suit with a tilted American flag hat. This man is a first generation hero and is still protecting the country. Anyway, now that the Hero Association can't find Madana a problem anymore. Medana said that she had no idea to license.
Other news is not very important. Sakura Construction Group, owned by the Yamaguchi family, paid compensation to the victims of the Queens City Children's Hospital fire they built, and promised to build better in the future. And the low number of casualties was also attributed to their fire fighting system. In fact, all the people in the hospital would have died if Madana hadn't arrived. She even saw the fire system melt down itself.
The next one is about the Diamond Bros Gang that killed a police officer and the super villain Fred is on the loose.
"Damn it... my classmate is really a super villain." Madana cursed herself. The classmate who was always being bullied turned out to be an even stronger supervillain, and now the heroes are after him.
But Madana began to notice that there was something wrong with the case. A few years ago, she had listened to a press conference of a slain police officer.
Three years ago, a plaza that Sakura Construction was responsible for failed to withstand an earthquake and collapsed and that officer was assigned to investigate the Sakura Corporation. Madana immediately noticed something was wrong.
