*While Grace was killing Sunz, someone was waking up from their coma.*

Familiar voice: The kid is in stable condition and will wake up within seconds.

Lucas opens his eyes to see himself lying on a couch and a big wolf man in doctor coat watching over him, along with his big Hero friend.

Lucas tried to sit up but his body didn’t budge.

Wolf in coat: Don’t even bother moving, your body is in its healing state. All of the bones in your body got broken… by me. I just injected medicine in your body so your skeleton must have healed already, right now just waiting for all of the nerves to reconnect. Which may take 10-30 minutes so enjoy your state. Be glad that you can still speak.

Lucas: Are we playing dress-up now? And why are you here Ben? Aren’t you supposed to do your Hero Business?

Ben (The Hero): The business was, doing some maintenance.

Lucas: What are you? A high-rank Hero or a Lackey. First, you didn’t even know about this place, and now suddenly you have some business.

LowtierFox: Old habits die hard. That is why you either tell the truth or shut your mouth. Haha!

Lucas and Ben:…

LowtierFox: Tough crowd.

Lucas: And you Mr.Fox, what with that outfit?

LowtierFox: It’s my medic outfit. I hold the highest life save in the Corp.

Lucas: So you two know each other from the Corp?

LowtierFox: Yeah, back when this ‘National Hero’ was called the ‘Blob’.

Lucas: The Blob?

Ben: Which means a sack of meat. A title given to the worst ‘Strength’ Hero by other Strength peers.

Lucas: But you bounce back, right?

LowtierFox: He did, but there is always a limit. Rank B is the highest he can reach.

Lucas: And that’s bad?

Ben: The worst. You might as well compare me to a normal citizen. No skill, just Strength.

LowtierFox: And just like how great his rise was, there is always a disgusting element that plays a role in it.

“Sometimes the worst decision is the best decision, or vice versa. What matters is who will benefit from it.”

…

Lucas: Ben, is what he saying is true?

Ben: Even though he is a fox. Cunning is not his trait.

Lucas: So for some reason you can’t lie anymore.

LowtierFox: I am the reason, back when we used to work together, I was the brain and he is the muscle. Which left most of the talking to me while he standing there looking intimidating.

Lucas: So why did you leave him, because of the secret you found?

LowtierFox: I left because I had other business opportunities and plus that happened in the future…

“This is fun, it’s like we are comforting a friend that just broke up. I’ll get some snack, your healing is almost done, broken boy.”

While LowtierFox getting some snacks, Ben receives a call.

Call (The building is being attacked. Two Rank A is down. Don’t let any below Rank A join.)

Ben: Got it.

LowtierFox comes back with some snacks.

“Well well, look like we got some problem…Door Open!”

After saying that a zone of the window of the room disappeared.

“I’ll take care of the kid.”

Ben said, “Listen to him, kid.” Then jump out of the room and dive to the first floor. The window zone returned to normal after Ben jumped out.

LowtierFox “Now that he gone.” sits back down next to Lucas and tells him.

“That man is a nice man but he is also a Yes Man. He put a lot of effort to rise to that rank, but I still don’t know what secret training he did. And the disgusting element, take place a long while after he reached his peak.”

Lucas: I thought you never lied.

LowtierFox: I never! Right now, you are playing as a role for him to fix his past. After today, you can leave and he won’t do anything to you or your family. You have a choice, he is not threatening you with his rank at all.

“Those will be all. For now, I have a job to do.”

He stands up then grabs a pair of glasses on the table and puts it on Lucas’s face. From the glasses, a salt-sized bug flew out.

LowtierFox: Since you can’t move, it will act as your eyes and ears. Say the name of the Hero you want to connect with then you two will be able to talk with each other. There are snacks on the table when you get better.

“Enjoy controlling your Mecha!”

With that LowtierFox left the room then Lucas hears

“IT TIME TO COUNT SOME SHEEP!!!”

…

*Up on the Aquarium*

Soju: Finally a day off, and all I have to do is spend time with you.

Narae: I feel the same. I even told the Corp not to send me mission unless it happens where I’m standing.

Soju: I’m so glad I’m finally allowed to see your face and touch you in public.

Narae: You got to touch me plenty the other night.

Soju: That was erotic touch. Now we’re having casual touch, just enjoying each other company.

Narae grabs Soju’s hand: Usually, you should grab my hand after saying that. But I agree, no more hat and mask to cover my face *kiss Soju’s cheek* and it all thanks to their perfume.

Soju: Let’s see what can we do here!

*After some activities*

Narae’s phone just buzzed. (I hope not!)

Narae checks her phone to see the message

*Location: The Dungeon 1st Floor./ Note 2 Hero down.*

Soju: I know that look. You have stuff to take care of right?

Narae: This is so annoying! I could have bailed on this mission if it was minor but it not.

Soju: Making sure these innocent people don’t get dragged into this unfortunate is part of our job. Plus I believe you can take care of that mission real quick.

Narae: I wish but whatever down there might say otherwise. It took down 2 Heros, dead or alive. This Building only has rank A or above so… now think again, I’m ranked 1st so this will be easy.

Soju: I think you should start going. Also, remember to neutralize the perfume.

Narae: Yeah yeah, you’re right. I’ll see you in a bit.

She quickly gets in one of the bathroom stalls, sprays her perfume then pulls out a device that instantly switches her entire attire with accessories add-on (Hat and Mask).

Then she quickly made her way to the elevator where she was stopped by two bodyguards. Not letting them speak a word, she pulled down her mask and they instantly stepped out of the way.

Narae: Keep this whole floor safe and support the foundation.

The two bodyguards just nod.

*Moment before crisis at the bottom floor*

A Strange Figure enters through the entrance while covering from head to toe. There is nothing to see, except their clothes.

The two bodyguards started preparing for the worst while the front desk lady did her job.

Front desk lady: Hello, how may I help you today? Do you bring your card or are you buying ticket?

A voice can be heard from the Strange Figure.

“There are two people I need to find and I believe they are here.”

Front desk lady: Oh ok, before you can enter. You need an access pass first.

Strange figure: That won’t be a problem.

When the sentence ended, two swords flew out of the figure which tore its clothes and stabbed the two bodyguards, rendering them lifeless.

Only turning its head for a moment but the Front desk lady is already gone.

Strange figure: I’ll find you!

Then hundred different types of swords flew out of the Strange-Figure body.
