A month later, in the imposing dark building in the middle of city A that serves as the headquarters of the Hero Association, an important meeting was taking place. There were many rumors that circulated among the employees working there, but the one that caused the most heat was about a possible romantic connection between Fubuki and a man named Kaiser.
The staff of the Hero Association talks about this because they know more about it than a normal society would. Because people who work here observe the movements that happen in the city as well as the activities of their professional heroes to some extent.
Recently, the professional hero Fubuki, who has just advanced to class A, is already in the top 20, and this increase is rumored to be related to Kaiser, the handsome guy who is often seen with her.
"ahh, I hope he becomes a professional hero, he looks so handsome, and with the mysterious power he has, he will definitely be at the top without any problems," remarked one of the female staff during her break.
The rest of his female coworkers were of the same opinion, "but we've given him official papers before, right?...in your opinion, what is it about him that prevents him from becoming a professional hero?
On each of the holographic screens in front of them were various photos and pieces of information about Kaiser that they had obtained. They had only gathered Kaiser information as a chore when they first started, but now they were kind of like his secret fans.
"Maybe he wants to be some kind of dark hero where he does good in the shadows without wanting anyone else to know about it... how cool is that, I sure that's what happened."
Their conversation became increasingly bizarre, but on the other hand, the male staff also discussed various topics during their breaks. In contrast to the female staff, the male staff really despised Kaiser. In fact, some of them tried to find specific information about him to expose his malicious intentions, or at least that's what the male staff believed he was.
All of this stems from their jealousy after seeing their idol, Fubuki, so intimately involved with a man that it causes rumors that make them heartburn. But When their boss, Busho, arrived, the conversation that had been going on between the two camps abruptly ended.
"All right, is there anyone who can give a quick report on each city?"
One of the female employees, who was accustomed to doing reports with a cheery disposition, exclaimed, "Permit me to explain, sir."
"Please."
As time went on, the room filled with computers became silent and dim, and only one large screen lit up in the front. On this screen was displayed all of the information and pictures of several different professional heroes.
"Miss Tatsumaki successfully completed her mission regarding the threat from the monster who dubbed herself the Ancient King. She also gave a complaint saying that she didn't want to waste any more time with the easy missions that Hero Association Headquarters gave her."
Everyone in the room could only sigh because they were all accustomed to the conceited and arrogant nature that Tatsumaki showed. Still, considering that she was the number 2 strongest person they had, no one dared to raise their voices at her.
"Zombieman is still continuing his investigations regarding the House of Evolution, who is believed to be the mastermind behind the large number of monsters appearing in city Z, and he made a request be given help as soon as possible, as he considers the threat that this organisation poses to be greater than we think it is."
"If Zombieman ever finds himself in danger, you are free to infomed some class A professional heroes to assist him."
The female staff member continued to read out several more reports after hearing Busho's response, and some of them quite surprised her boss. One of these reports was about Puri Puri Prisoner who became active in carrying out his professional hero duties by travelling to every city every day.
Busho was aware of the reason behind Puri Puri Prisoner's action. However, he did not want to talk about it, so he continued to listen until he finally heard something that piqued his interest.
"Does Fubuki want to be contacted?"
"It seems she already aware of what we desire. However, she continues to sidestep the issue by claiming that she does not have authority over Kaiser."
He couldn't help but smile wryly because, during this time, the Hero Association had invited Kaiser many times to join as a professional hero. Yet, he continued to refuse it despite the many wonderful benefits they could provide, one of which was the opportunity to move him directly into class A.
"Very well, I will discuss your report with the higher ups in the Hero Association meeting that is coming up next, but before that I would like you to contact all S class professional hero as well as A class to come to headquarters."
"Sir, does the prophecy have anything to do with this?"
Busho was shocked for a short while, but when he considered that his team was in charge of gathering and disseminating information, he wasn't surprised that they discovered it.
"That's right, and the prophecy concerns the safety of mankind this time. consequently, after studying with the frequent attacks by monsters recently, I would like to invite class A to join in the meeting of class S."
-
On that day, all of the professional heroes of class A received the same message, and the vast majority of them were quite surprised and excited because this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to demonstrate everything they had to offer.
In one of the waiting rooms in the broadcast building, Amai Mask, sitting in front of the mirror, asked his assistant, "what's my schedule for tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow you have a schedule to promote your new album, plus one of the television stations wants to interview you about the new drama you are starring in... umm, if you still have time, we can also do a tour to city B for promotional purposes."
Amai Mask was silent for a short while, but after taking one more glance at his cellphone screen, he spoke up, "Rearrange all of the schedules, tomorrow I will go to the Hero Association Headquarters."
"Understand."
Not only Amai Mask but almost all class A professional heroes intend to come, as well as Fubuki, who got the message, she has another idea to use this meeting to her advantage, but it seems the person she contacted does not really like the idea.
