We villains all have invincibility written on our faces

Yata opened the briefcase he had been holding, and he immediately lowered his head, frantically searching for the documents. He felt like he would never have the face to live again. Krieg raised an eyebrow. He was actually appreciating Yata more and more. It was indeed comfortable to work with people with strong wills, but if he belonged to the Hero Association, weakness would actually be an opportunity.

The briefcase contained numerous documents, including an application from Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle. Of course, for something as simple as this, the Hero Association had already filled out everything. The so-called application was merely a rote process, requiring only a simple inquiry and Krieg's signature. For an association that wouldn't hesitate to recruit the scum of society in the face of danger, Krieg's identity was of no consequence. As long as he performed heroic acts, he could become a pro hero, even if his actions were less than honorable.

Does this organization really have any future?

Krieg was skeptical, but if he could join the ranks, the Hero Association would eventually bear his name. A corrupt (top brass inaction), insensitive (no warnings of danger), and foolish (misrepresentation of heroic achievements is chaotic and unverifiable) association wouldn't require Krieg to do anything; they would destroy themselves. If it weren't for the quirks of the strongest, any willing S-class hero could replace them.

"Um, Mr. Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle," Yata finally found the contract information. The thin paper was tightly held in his hand. Krieg clearly saw that the edges of the paper were bent under the force.

The unlicensed knight was a little worried, but he was the most law-abiding person. Wouldn't it be a bad idea for him to go up to them when they were clearly discussing their future? Krieg sensed the unlicensed knight's embarrassment and nodded at him. The unlicensed knight immediately returned the greeting, and his worries dissipated.

Yata took a deep breath and handed over the contract in his hand. "Ash... Mr. Krieger, let me introduce myself again. I am the representative sent by the Hero Association. We hope you can join the Hero Association. Here is the best platform for you to display your talents. At the same time, we can reward you with generous bonuses. At the same time, you will have privileges in certain aspects. We, the Hero Association..."

It seemed as if Yata had finally regained his confidence while introducing the Hero Association. He was no longer so timid, but began his explanation fluently. It was obvious that he had said the same lines countless times. Krieger looked directly at the contract in his hand. Yata's introduction was almost like a pyramid scheme, and he really didn't want to listen to this nonsense.

If it was his original spirit, Krieg would still put on a suitable front, but the affected spirit ignored Yata. After all, he would join no matter how harsh the contract was. What's more, the Hero Association's entry fee was so loose that the restrictions on it were almost zero. The symbolic restrictive clauses didn't even have any penalties.

Well, if there really was a punishment, the sexy prisoner who escapes from prison every day probably wouldn't have appeared in the first place.

While Krieg was distracted, the Unlicensed Knight was getting anxious. He sensed Krieg's impatience, and a premonition of danger tingled his nerves. He kept signaling to Yata with his eyes, but Yata was completely oblivious. By the time he'd finished his long string of polite remarks, Yata felt like his lungs were about to explode, and the Unlicensed Knight's gaze finally caught his eye, but Yata only noticed that the Unlicensed Knight's eyes were a little red.

I performed okay, Yata smiled awkwardly. The unlicensed rider turned around helplessly to look at his bike, as if he saw this badly worn bike for the first time, and acted as if he didn't see Yata's gesture.

Did I not perform well?

"Okay," Krieg's answer was quite concise, and he agreed before Yata could figure it out.

Yata had made various plans, but he didn't expect to get only two words. His somewhat sluggish movements made the unlicensed rider feel helpless. He deliberately squeezed the bicycle bell, and a dull bell sounded, which made Yata wake up.

"I agreed, no, then", Yata didn't know what to say. He looked at the unlicensed knight as if asking for help. The unlicensed knight gave him a thumbs up, but Yata still didn't dare to speak.

"Don't be nervous, you'll be fine like this." Krieg took a step forward. Three Yata Takashi's bodies pressed down like a mountain, and Yata's breathing almost stopped.

As he froze, Yata saw Krieg's eyes again. For some reason, he felt courage well up in his heart. "Mr. Krieg, if you sign here, you will be an official hero!"

Krieg signed the contract very quickly. Seeing that the giant on the opposite side did nothing, Yata's heart, which was about to jump out of his chest, finally returned to his chest. Until he got the contract back, Yata still felt like he was dreaming.

Unexpectedly, this hero looked a little fierce, but he was actually a very nice person. Yata was even a little touched. The more powerful the hero, the weirder he was. Yata had a deep understanding of this. The sudden appearance of a cold guy was like a blessing to Yata.

This won't do. The Hero Association can provide a lot of help. A guy who is willing to take the blame can't provide much help. He has to experience another life. Yata's appearance is reflected in Krieg's pupils. The white eyeballs make the pupils look closer to pure black. Yata's image seems to sink in the black and gradually disappears from Krieg's squinting eyes.

Watching Takeshi Yada carefully put away the contract, the Unlicensed Knight breathed a sigh of relief. He knew the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle held no ill will towards him, but the disparity in strength still left him feeling uneasy. He had seen S-Class heroes before, but he had never experienced a hero unleashing such unbridled aura as Krieg. It was like crawling out of a sea of ​​blood. If he hadn't seen Krieg's gentle demeanor, he would have thought his new partner was a murderous freak.

"I have a question," Krieg scratched his head deliberately. In the eyes of the Unlicensed Knight and Yata, this was clearly an expression of embarrassment. "Yata Takeshi, right? Why do I feel like you're easily bullied?"

Yata opened his mouth like a fish about to suffocate. The unlicensed knight beside him did not help him this time, but instead asked a question, "Yes, Mr. Yata, I feel like you are always being bullied by others."

No, I'm not, I don't.

Yada originally wanted to say this, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he suddenly hesitated.

Yada Takeshi's life had always been smooth sailing, or so he consoled himself. His parents were harmonious, his family was well-off, and his upbringing had been uneventful. He had smoothly entered a good university and, through his own merit, joined the Hero Association. Working hard for a job he loved, he earned a decent salary, and several women his age showed interest in him. His safety was assured by the Hero Association.

Compared to ordinary people who live a mediocre life and encounter weird people even if they have never done anything wrong, Yata's life is already great. If he can get married and have children smoothly, then the life of a person named Yata will be complete.

What is there to complain about in a life like this?

This is what Yada thought, and he has always done so.

"It's not bullying!" Yata was still afraid, but he chose to object. Even though Krieg said "oh" with interest, Yata still stared at him stubbornly, staring at himself in those pure black pupils.

"I'm doing well, thank you for your concern, but this kind of speculation is very rude." Yata didn't know where he got the courage from. He didn't know about Dr. Genos's magical props. He only knew that he had to refute it at this time.

Because he had lived like this for the first half of his life, Yada was very satisfied with his current situation. If a terrifying giant could point out his mistakes, then were all the hard work he had done in the first half of his life fake?!

"Really?" Krieg shrugged. "I understand. It's not surprising. To normal people, people like me are inherently weak. Those who don't conform to common sense are all monsters, and I'm obviously one of them."

Krieg is about to start fooling around again.

Chapter 151 Planting a Seed

"Really?" Yata's movements were a little awkward. He could feel Krieg's kindness, which was a rare thing in the Hero Association. Even though Yata was talking about business, his impression of Krieg kept rising.

Krieg smiled. "It's just a trivial matter. You'll get used to it. I think you understand this very well. As for that unlicensed knight, could you please step aside for a moment? I want to ask Mr. Yada some questions about joining the Hero Association."

Yata could only watch the unlicensed knight walk away, feeling somewhat bewildered. From a distance, the unlicensed knight encouraged him, and he could only smile awkwardly in response. He knew what lay beneath the bland joke, but he had never imagined someone he'd just met would see through it. But what would remain of him if he left his weak life behind? Being exploited was because I was valuable, Yata consoled himself.

"You're thinking that being used is because I am valuable enough to be used."

what?

Yata was confused at first, but when he realized what the giant in front of him was saying, his face suddenly turned pale.

"No, I like my current life very much. Since I have decided to join the Hero Association, there will be exchanges of interests between people. Yata spoke quickly. He didn't know why he was a little anxious.

"What you're going to say next is that I just did a little more work, and when they realized my abilities, they promoted me, right?"

"No...it's not like that." Yata still had a polite smile on his face, but he looked like he was about to cry.

"It's rare for someone your age to have such thoughts. Are you a mama's boy?" Krieg's memory was stirred, and his tone became stern. "Mr. Yada, do you think the Hero Association's building is magnificent from an architectural perspective?"

Yada didn't know what the question meant, but the pressure from Krieger suddenly increased. Before Yada could figure out the meaning, he had already subconsciously uttered the answer, "It's a magnificent building. It only took three years to build a building like that. I think it's a miracle."

"You are an employee of the Hero Association. When you walked in, did you look up at this building? Did you feel insignificant at its foot?"

"I think that's natural, Mr. Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle, let's talk about the test."

"But what does that have to do with you?"

Yata's lips trembled, and facing Krieg's direct gaze, he felt something burning in his eyes.

I'm working in there. This was the only answer Yata could think of, but he didn't know why. He didn't want to say it. Could going to work be considered a relationship? Apart from his boss, were other people really worth remembering?

Is the Hero Association really still the original Hero Association?

"It seems you understand. You have no choice but to accept things that are forced upon you without even knowing the reason. And then continue to live without even knowing the reason. This is the fate of us creatures. But I see that you have some talent. Are you interested in becoming a hero?"

Yata remained silent, but the emotions revealed on his face could no longer be suppressed. Those expressions were filled with desire and fear. Krieg did not say anything else, but just waited quietly for Yata's answer.

Is it that Dr. Kinos's spray is too effective, or is the secretary under too much pressure?

Krieg just thought about it slightly. Anyway, these two things are beneficial to him. Weakness is a very malleable character. For a person who chooses to blindfold himself, just tear off the cloth and let him see his situation clearly.

Either be reborn as a warrior or die, when Yada has to make a choice, which one will he choose?

Krieger was intrigued.

"Mr. Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle, let's talk about this later." Yata tried to keep his voice steady as much as possible, but unfortunately, his voice was already shaking after just a few words.

"Of course I respect your choice. So, what preparations should I make for this exam?" Krieg didn't mention the matter again. He just wanted to let it happen subtly. He believed that he would meet the secretary. He just needed to plant a seed, and the attraction between people would accomplish everything.

"No preparation is needed. You are now a professional hero and can claim to be a member of the Hero Association to the outside world. Inviting you to take the professional hero assessment test is just to assess your level. If you don't want to participate, you can apply for a separate test at any time. The test is a threshold to becoming a hero, but it is not a necessary condition for becoming a hero."

Secretary Yata was still dedicated to his work. Although he still had mixed feelings, seeing Krieg's gentle gaze, he couldn't help but add a word, "Mr. Krieg, the association's ranking rules are based on the hero's contributions. Only the higher ranks are evaluated purely on strength. Therefore, your initial ranking will probably be very low. You will need to make some achievements to improve your ranking. Please don't worry."

"That's fine. I don't care about rankings. However, I'm interested in another thing. If the ranking is based on contribution, then apart from reputation, are there any substantial differences between the different rankings?"

Krieg's question was clearly a bit unexpected. Secretary Yata paused, and after a moment's internal struggle, he finally decided to tell the truth when faced with Krieg's gaze. "There's no difference. If I insist on saying it, it's just a nice way of saying it."

"That's exactly what happened," Krieg curled his lips. S-class was the pinnacle of heroes; a few of them combined could handle a dragon-level monster. While heroes of other ranks would consider them monsters, and these S-class heroes were known for their strong personalities and lacked the ability to work together, Krieg had always wondered why they didn't actively compete for the top spot. If Tornado was the top S-class hero and wouldn't let anyone other than Blast get in, and the others couldn't defeat Tornado, then why did the remaining 15 seem so uninterested?

There's no reward at all. It's just about reputation. The heroes are generally popular with the public; they don't lack for fame. No wonder they can't even get them together for meetings. Krieg no longer has high hopes for this association's effectiveness. Even a pig knows that if you get paid the same whether you work hard or not, no one will work the next day. It seems the S-class's sense of justice is far more noble than Krieg imagined.

This world clearly only has the Hero Association as a danger management organization, and the residents here are really unlucky.

If the Hero Association is considered a single, immensely powerful entity, it lacks any control over its most powerful S-class heroes. While enjoying privileges, S-class heroes aren't subject to forced transfers. This results in S-class heroes acting completely at their own whim. The more honest or concerned about the greater good will still do what professional heroes are supposed to do, while the more eccentric are simply impossible to identify. S-class heroes and the Association simply don't want to be on the same page, and they can't even be considered collaborators.

But if, on the other hand, we regard the Hero Association as a public welfare organization with only appeal, we will find that they are indeed spending money on some completely meaningless things, and the top leaders of the association look down on B, C and even A-level heroes. If there is a mission, they must carry it out, but they only provide basic or even wrong information. Daily practice and combat command do not exist at all. They even have to rely on King and Child Emperor for command, and they don't care at all about heroes who form gangs and pursue fame and fortune.

The so-called assessment is nothing more than the elimination of the bottom C-class heroes. The consequence is that C-class heroes are almost all obsessed with ordinary security incidents, such as catching thieves and finding things. When facing monsters, their strength is no different from that of ordinary people. They also have to be promoted because of the honor of being a professional hero. Not every C-class is an unlicensed knight who can survive being beaten by a dragon-level monster, but the Hero Association still doesn't care about these people.

Krieg was speechless about how these people could endure. Is this the truth behind why unlicensed knights were beaten every day?

Krieg's eyes turned compassionate, making the Unlicensed Knight feel uncomfortable. He could only laugh awkwardly with Yata. However, the Unlicensed Knight was an honest man after all, so he stepped forward and extended his hand to Krieg. "From now on, we'll be colleagues. I'm the top Unlicensed Knight in Class C. Please give me your guidance."

"Please advise me. I've heard of you before. You've solved many amazing cases. This afternoon you solved the Taoyuan Group and even appeared on TV."

Krieg needs to confirm one thing, how the association determines contributions, such as the problem of King. Although he is known as the "strongest man on earth" and the Monster Association also recognizes him as one of the four special combat forces, the Hero Association and other S-class heroes are skeptical. He has not been certified by the Hero Association, and cannot prove, nor does he want to prove, that he has killed powerful monsters. Simply being lucky cannot explain this situation.

Whether the Hero Association is incompetent or just fools determines how Krieg will treat them.

"I can't say that it was all my credit," the Unlicensed Knight didn't know what Krieger meant, but he was a very honest man and would only narrate what he knew. "I only took out a few members. I don't know where the others went, and I didn't catch the boss in the end." As if saying this kind of thing could make the Unlicensed Knight relax, his tone gradually became more lively. "It's only because the Hero Association needs me to admit it. You'll understand when you appear on TV often. In order to avoid panic among the people, sometimes we have to admit things we didn't do."

"Of course, none of these villains showed up later. If they had, it would still be my responsibility! As a hero, I can't shirk my responsibilities. As the number one in C-rank, I won't be promoted until I can take on greater responsibilities!"

The unlicensed knight's confident words touched Krieg a little, but he quickly put it out of his mind. He liked this kind of person very much, and could even say that he admired this kind of person, but he would never become this kind of person.

So after a normal chat, Krieg said goodbye to them in a friendly manner. The unlicensed knight enthusiastically asked Yata to give him a ride, and then Yata reluctantly refused him. Krieg waited until they finally discussed how to leave, and then he stuffed a note with a mobile phone number on it into Yata's hand.

“It is too true that we seldom trust those who are better than we are, and we would rather avoid them. On the contrary, we most often confide in those who are similar to us and who share our weaknesses.

Therefore, we do not hope to change our weaknesses, nor do we hope to become better, but we hope to receive mercy and encouragement on our way, but I will only solve this problem in a rough way. When you are strong enough to ignore some of the rules, you will like this feeling. "

"Yata, I think we will meet again soon. I don't know why, but I'm very interested in you. If you get into any trouble one day, you can find me through this number."

Under Yata's complicated gaze, Krieg turned around and left. His strong thighs flexed and stretched and disappeared from the sight of the two. The unlicensed knight looked at the place where Krieg disappeared with envy, and then looked at Yata with envy.

"Mr. Yada, it seems you are also very popular."

"Stop joking, I was scared to death just now." Seeing that Krieger had really left, Yata spoke fluently. He looked at the always energetic unlicensed knight and thought about his own situation. He felt helpless. "If I were really popular, why would I do such a thing?"

"Hahaha, that's true," the unlicensed knight rubbed his head sheepishly. "Well, Mr. Yada, since you don't need me to give you a ride, I'll finish my patrol today. So, goodbye."

The unlicensed rider tightened the strap of his helmet, climbed onto the bike, and rode away quickly, leaving Yata alone.

The world suddenly became quiet, and Yata felt a little lonely. He looked at the phone number, tightened his grip, and finally flattened his palm and put it in his upper pocket.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be just as uneventful.

"I say, why are you telling him all this? If you need his help, I just happen to have a research project that requires experimental subjects. If you think it's appropriate, just go and bring him back," Dr. Kinos's voice came from the bird that landed in front of Krieg.

Krieg glanced at the pigeon. Its own cooing mixed with Dr. Kinos's voice, making a rather noisy sound. A falcon swooped down from the sky and clamped its silver claws on the pigeon's beak, preventing the poor little scout from moving.

"I'm curious, where do your experimental subjects come from?"

"People like you who are seriously ill and waiting to die will agree to my experiment, and you are the most successful one among them."

"Then you need to prepare."

"what?"

"Soon, more people will come to you for help."

Chapter 152 First of all, we must occupy the headlines

"What are you going to do???" Dr. Kinos had to ask clearly. In his eyes, Krieg was no different from a psychopath. If the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle when he was imprisoned underground was just a bloodthirsty monster with no bottom line, then this one now was a weirdo with super strong mobility and completely unpredictable.

The original one could use the clone to die to suppress his nature, but what should I do now?

Dr. Kinos didn't even know what the Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle was doing now. After any intelligent creature gave itself a name, it meant that their self-awareness had reached a certain level. Dr. Kinos was very worried. Compared to his plan to kill all the old humans, the Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle in front of him obviously didn't take anything seriously. Dr. Kinos couldn't even feel that the Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle cherished its own life.

A madman who doesn't care about his life, Dr. Kinos, holding his glasses, this is his chance, a creation more powerful than him, if he can exert even a little influence, he can also profit from it, and he did so.

Neither of them would believe that the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was transformed from a patient. It was just a stepping stone. But you are just my creation, and it is not right to criticize your creator.

You are crazy, and so am I. The smile on Dr. Kinos's face is exactly the same as Krieg's. I can understand how you feel, so you must understand mine, right?

"Go and destroy the information about the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, and then we can discuss how to deal with this threat."

Dr. Kinos must still be holding on to some unrealistic fantasies. Krieger shook his head and signaled the falcon to let go of the pigeon. The falcon obediently released its claws. The poor pigeon flapped its wings and stretched and retracted its neck to test the pure silver bird. After its little head confirmed that there was no danger, it quickly flapped its wings and flew away.

A seriously ill person goes back to find the House of Evolution?

What a joke! If any patient could find Dr. Genos, who was so well hidden, the House of Evolution would have been wiped out long ago. They couldn't have found a better excuse. Since the immortality plan represented by the zombie man was successful, is there any disease in this world more terrifying than death?

Krieg waved his hand, and the light of the totem blocked the hormone spray. As a scientist who has reached the pinnacle of biological research, Krieg dare not take it lightly.

Is Dr. Kinos so sure that I won't take action because of our common interests, or is he not just a simple researcher?

It would be suspicious if a guy who developed dragon-level monsters and S-level heroes was just an ordinary person.

Krieg stretched out his hand and signaled Hayabusa to jump onto his shoulder. For the time being, Dr. Genos would not go against their interests. Now he had to deal with his own mental problems. In the original work, Dr. Genos would stop the Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle from causing trouble. Although Krieg did not want to admit it, Dr. Genos's moral standards were much higher than those of the Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle.

There are many ways to solve mental problems in this world. The super-powered people led by Tornado may have a way, but it is too dangerous. Saitama can treat Tornado as a naughty child because of his strength, but Krieg can't do it. Similarly, threatening Fubuki is equivalent to threatening Tornado. This line is a dead end for the time being; Big Eyed Jon of the Monster Association can also do this. Since Orochi is his creation, it is very likely that he can solve the problem, but there are too many dragon-level monsters over there, and they are also ruled out due to uncontrollable dangers; Saitama's guidance is meaningless, so it is ruled out; the Dark Matter Pirates have not appeared yet, so they are ruled out; various Frankenstein monsters, considering that Genos is already at the forefront of this field, the possibility of them being able to provide help is very small, so they are put on hold for now.

Krieg thought about it carefully. The ones with the highest possibility had all been ruled out due to various dangers. There was no point in going to the ones with lower possibility. Anyway, as long as he joined the Hero Association, he would see them sooner or later.

For his own plans, and to win over the support of the lower-level pro heroes, Krieg didn't intend to become an S-Class hero directly. What better way to earn their admiration than by setting an example of someone who had already achieved this level? Furthermore, Krieg also wanted to gain the trust of the Hero Association. If he became an S-Class hero right from the start, his plans would inevitably be partially shelved. In short, he needed a safe and unobtrusive way to solve the problem.

Do I have to take the hero assessment in advance?

Krieg thought about it. If he went to the exam early, the only benefit would be that he could pay attention to Saitama and Genos's exams. The 55th Hero Exam was to be conducted by A-Class heroes, so it would be easy for Krieg to disguise himself as an A-Class hero. If he applied, the Hero Association would at least let him be a spectator.

But the test results were fixed, and Saitama's written test score could never be higher. Krieg estimated that being an examiner rather than being a hero of the same class as Saitama might be the latter way of bringing them closer.

That's right, Krieg felt a little guilty. He remembered that the hair he grew fell out the next day, and he didn't know what the situation was like for Saitama. This was a bit self-deceptive. Saitama couldn't grow hair, Krieg knew that better than anyone.
