V2 Chapter 20 - Fake Silver Knight
At an intersection in New York City, there was a pool of blood.
A mutant dressed in silver armor sat on the engine hood of a school bus, holding a blood strained iron sword.
News media helicopters have also arrived and are filming this bloody incident. America has never had a attack like this in twenty years.
The silver-armored hero hijacked a school bus, held the children captive, and threatened everyone. But no one knows his goal.
Two C-rank heroes, Slayer and Musclecutie, work to save children from an unlicensed hero, but are injured.
Special Forces with metal paladin suit could only watch him. No one wants to fight directly with a Silverknight who can attack A ranks. Colonel Sladin was holding a megaphone and yelling.
"Hero Silver Knight... the way you are acting right now is not the behavior of a hero. If you are unhappy with something, we can resolve it. Please release the innocent children."
The children on the school bus were crying and shaking because they were so scared. All of them are primary school children
And they like Silver Knight. But they didn't think that their hero would pull their car off the overpass and turn violent.
Colonel Sladin also has a headache. A criminal must have a reason to commit a crime, right?
For example, some mobsters rob banks and they want money. As for the Mutant Science Organization, they are trying their best to create man-made fog. But Silver Knight is a respected hero and has no intention of doing this. Until his head was kicked by a horse and went to crazy.
At the police commissioner's words, the silver warrior planted the blood-stained metal sword on the ground. After that, he said with a dirty laugh.
"I'm doing this today because I have something to announce to you all."
The silver warrior took a step forward, stretched out his arms, and looked up at the sky.
"Humans no longer own this world. Mutants own the world."
Naturally, all the people listening to him did not understand. Are the mutants not human? The silver warrior continued to say words that most people couldn't understand.
"Don't you feel it? The world has changed since the meteorite fell fifty years ago. Constitutions, police and legal barriers are all slowly bowing to the law of force."
The police chief frowned. The silver knight's words were true even though they were out of bounds. In some countries, powerful men take over the government and rule like kings. The worst thing is that the Hero Association has not addressed these issues. Heroes are human too, so they have the right to be chosen as the ruler of the country.
In the United States, the two S rank heroes are favored by the president himself.
"I'm already too tired to protect ordinary humans. You know how in ancient times we defined weak people who couldn't protect themselves? Slaves, ordinary humans are our servants. So I can do whatever I want with your lives. I can kill you whenever I want."
As he spoke, a man in silver armor pulled a child from the school bus. Even though the little girl with the double braids was crying and struggling, she couldn't match the strength of the super suit.
"Silver Knight...don't..."
The colonel shouted. The special forces also ran in, but the sword was just a little bit away from cutting off the little girl's head.
Palm.....
But a hand wearing a blue leather glove swung out a knife, and a long frog tongue wrapped around the little girl's arm and pulled her out of the way.
The arrival of C rank hero Boeing Girl and apprentice hero Toadius.
The police chief also sighed when he saw the two of them. On the other hand, the frog looked at the silver warrior in disbelief.
"Silver Knight... What's going on? You wouldn't do such things on your own."
The silver warrior that the frog believes in is a man who is full of self-sacrifice and risking his own life.
The silver warrior looked at the frog as if he didn't know him and replied.
"Who are you? You want to mess with me?" He raised his sword and aimed at the frog.
"You're still young and confused, so I'll make you known. If you don't want to be like those two, then leave." The blood of the two heroes is still on the metal sword.
The Boeing girl stood next to the frog and said. "Silver Knight is more powerful than either of us. Will the headquarters wait for reinforcements?"
The frog continued to speak, ignoring the Boeing Girl and only staring at the silver warrior.
"Are you pretending not to know me, or really?"
Although the frog is not very intelligent, he is not stupid. What was happening now was completely out of place, and even in the manga he used to read, it didn't make sense. A hero acts like a villain without any purpose. As for the story, this is a huge plothole.
"Who are you? I don't know you. Or is it because we've met before?"
The frog clenched its fists and changed back to half-frog form. Surely the person standing in front of him knew something was wrong.
It was as if something had taken over the frog's mind, and he put his feet forward and prepared to attack.
"Lucius... Don't be so impulsive." Boeing Girl knows that the situation is bad, so she pulls in the frog. But the frog went in front of the silver warrior and tried to punch the mask.
"Fake... show your real self."
The Silver Knight was an ideal hero that he admired. He felt like a bloody sword was stabbing his heart. So he couldn't believe that this person was the silver knight at all.
"The Silver Warrior saved the patients in the hospital without putting his own life first. Even when our school was attacked, he gave his best to fight against an enemy who was higher power than him. You couldn't be him."
The frog's strength and speed had reached the limit of the C ranks. He just needs a little bit to reach B rank.
Fist shadows began to fall like raindrops in the air. But the silver-armored hero raised his sword and cut it down.
"Are those... I just did it because I wanted to be called a hero."
The sword is very fast. And the frog himself was in a daze, so he couldn't avoid it.
"Lucius..." Boeing Girl screamed and pushed the frog away. So she was the one who was going to hit the sword, and blood started to flow from her shoulder. But not too severe. Melly can still continue.
Melee exchanged some blows with the silver warrior as she winced in pain. The difference in strength and speed was so great that she flew through the air in no time and retreated. If she didn't have the ability to fly, she'd probably have her head cut off by the knight.
The frog retreated and looked at Melly with an apologetic look. But they don't have time to talk. The silver warrior held the sword straight at a right angle and grasped the blade with both hands.
This time, the frog frowned. As a fan of the Silver Knight, he had watched the Silver Knight fight many times.
The Silver Warrior's swordsmanship is a combination of Western swordsmanship and Eastern swordsmanship. The position of the hand holding the blade is quite different from the current model. The previous SilverKnight held the blade with the thumb, and if holding it with two hands, the left hand was on top and the right hand was below.
But now SilverKnight was holding it like two fists like the Crusaders. Stronger but less flexible knife grip.
And the silver warrior lowered himself a little and took the strength of his waist to move, but this man was full of longing.
A swordsman does not easily change his posture and the way he holds his sword. This is the biggest gap.
"We can't escape anymore..." When the silver warrior ran up using his Void Stream technique, Melly couldn't escape , who was running away with the little frog. So she pulled the frog into her arms and faced the sword with her back.
"Do you dare?!" With a sudden shout, the concrete pieces from the street rose up, turned into particles, and formed an atomic shield.
The shield protected the two heroes so they were not hurt. Opposite them, Vice Dean Harry was slowly walking towards the scene.
As soon as the silver warrior saw the vice dean, he took the sword back and said, "I'll see you later..." and ran away. The frog is watching everything happening with a frown.
Harry just glanced at them and told the heroes he was with. "Treat the injured and get the children to safety."
After that, Harry followed the fleeing silver warrior with his atomic shield and great sword in hand.
"Hey, you really want to fight, right? I've come to fight..."
As for Harry, it seems that he hates Silver Knight a lot for bullying the lower ranks.
The frog's suspicions grew stronger as the silver warrior who once defeated the A rank ran away from the B+ hero Harry without knowing why.
"Lucius... you didn't get hurt anywhere, right?" Boeing Girl, who was slightly injured, asked the frog. After the fear subsided, the frog's face turned red. Wasn't it because of him that the senior sister was injured?
"S...a lot of blood is flowing from the senior's shoulder."
So Meli looked at the wound on his shoulder and smiled back at the frog. "It's not that big deal, it'll be fine if you rest a little bit."
After that, she left for the Medic team. The frog remained in place and waited for the hero Harry to return. He already has something to say.
Fifteen minutes later, Harry returned. "Wow... That guy's suit runs pretty fast. But the Silver Knight should be even higher than B+, right? Why is he only at B rank?" Harry muttered to himself.
The frog came to him and said. "Senior Harry, I have one thing in mind."
After that, the frog told me everything he thought was strange. Harry said after thinking for a long time.
"You might say that. This silver Knight is likely to be a fake. He's unlicensed and a tech hero, so he's easy to fake and target. Thanks, I'll take care of the rest."
Harry patted the frog on the shoulder and left.
But what little Harry Frog didn't know was that the fake Silver Knight case was just the beginning.
After a few days, similar attacks took place all over the world, with heroes killing ordinary people.
Russia, Japan, Korea Taiwan Similar incidents have occurred and countries such as Brazil and are getting worse every day. All these heroes are shouting is that they are protecting ordinary humans, so ordinary humans should be slaves to the mutants.
That's why the world's governments have raised concerns. Dr. Smith, the other side of the Mad doctor, appeared in the crowd and began to give bloody speech.
"It's going to happen as I said, the mutantts are going to wipe out normal humans. Get ready quickly."
With these words, many powerful countries began to move. Russia was the first to move, disbanding the country's hero association and trying to put heroes under the government. Unfortunately, their S rank hero Wolfheart was against this and killed half of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, including the Minister of Defense.
Therefore, the cracks between the hero organization and the government in Russia are getting bigger and the war is starting to be postponed.
Other national governments are also panicking and are vigilantly monitoring their respective hero organizations and not letting them go as before. People also began to lose faith in heroes.
Experts are even considering that there will be a human-mutant war.
Suvarna is the only country that has had almost no impact on this whole process. As a small country, there were only a dozen or so heroes in their hero association. And they are not high level. In Suvarna's capital, which is like a small rural town, they and the townspeople are friends, and people almost forget that they are heroes. So to some extent there is no problem.
But the real problem is on Chi Lulu's side. Vice Dean Harry suspected that the incident was caused by the fake silver knight, but the frog's story was different. As far as the difference in power, it's hard to prove that it's not Silver Knight. And he couldn't do anything about the warrant because government didn't have a good opinion of the Hero Association. Instead of handling and investigating the case of the fake Silver Knight, the Hero Association itself started giving authority to the Mutant Department.
