Xiqi was silent for a moment, his plump fingers tapping lightly on the table, making a rhythmic “knock-knock” sound.

“Everyone, I understand your concerns.”

He spoke slowly, a look of authority from a superior showing on his big-nosed face, his tone firm: “Currently, the threat of monster disasters faced by major cities is increasing day by day, and the association’s combat power allocation is often stretched thin. Humanity… needs more heroes.”

“We cannot give up the valuable opportunity to recruit a top combatant because of potential resistance.”

“As for Amai Mask…”

He paused, his eyes sweeping over everyone: “I will personally communicate with him and seek his opinion.”

“I believe that with Amai Mask’s dedication to the hero cause, he will make the right judgment.”

The other executives nodded in agreement upon seeing this.

Although Amai Mask was strict, he always praised true powerhouses and righteous deeds without hesitation.

As the head of the Disaster Countermeasures Department, Xiqi had great say in hero recruitment and disaster response.

His decision basically set the tone for this matter.

“Then, the proposal to specially recruit the mysterious powerhouse Han Sen as an S-class hero has been preliminarily approved. Follow-up contact and evaluation work will begin immediately after the meeting.”

“Next agenda item…”

…

…

At the same time, in another part of the Hero Association headquarters, in the combat command hall, which was full of technological sense like a starship bridge.

A petite figure floated in mid-air, her emerald green curly hair swaying slightly like living seaweed.

She wore a boldly cut black high-slit long dress, with her fair and slender legs vaguely visible beneath the hem, forming a strong contrast with her delicate face, which was as tender as a doll.

Despite her loli physique, she exuded the majestic aura of a queen.

“Hah—”

Yawning boredly, Tatsumaki crossed her arms, floating around the spacious hall enveloped in the green light of her psychic powers.

Her delicate little face was filled with impatience, and her cherry-like mouth pouted discontentedly.

“Seriously, now that I’m here to work, you tell me there are no disaster events that require my deployment?”

Tatsumaki complained discontentedly, her voice clear but with a hint of lazy petulance: “I’m almost bored to death!”

“Are you guys not trying hard enough, not even detecting disaster levels above Demon?”

“If this continues, my body will rust!”

All the staff in the hall broke out in cold sweat upon hearing this.

Who didn’t know that this ace S-class hero of the association had a fiery temper and could flip the entire hall if she disagreed?

A young staff member responsible for disaster monitoring plucked up his courage and explained with a thick skin: “Miss Tatsumaki, it’s not that we’re not trying, but… but the frequency of high-level monster disasters has indeed shown an abnormal year-on-year decrease recently.”

“This somewhat violates our previous prediction of a concentrated outbreak of monsters, and our intelligence analysis department is currently investigating the specific reasons urgently.”

“As for disasters above Demon level…” The staff member wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued cautiously, “A considerable number of them were already… already resolved before the association’s heroes arrived.”

“According to intelligence, it seems to be related to a new S-class hero candidate that the association is recently preparing to specially recruit.”

The plan to specially recruit new S-class heroes was not an absolute secret within the Hero Association.

Especially within the circles of the Disaster Countermeasures Department, it had already been circulating.

“Huh? A new S-class?”

Tatsumaki curled her lips in disdain upon hearing this, a hint of undisguised contempt flashing in her beautiful green eyes: “Hmph… if you ask me, one S-class hero, me, is enough!”

“It’s already annoying enough to have to work with a bunch of useless trash, and you still want to recruit a bunch more useless trash who will just get in the way!”

Staff: “…” ×N

The green psychic light flashed and disappeared, and the powerful psychokinesis, magnified by Tatsumaki’s subtle emotional fluctuations, instantly filled the entire combat command hall like a tide.

The staff members immediately felt a cold, invisible pressure envelop their bodies, as if an invisible hand was choking their throats. They were all silent as cicadas in winter, sweating profusely.

Tatsumaki’s gaze inadvertently swept across the electronic file open on the young staff member’s desk, which contained intelligence on Han Sen.

One of the photos was a back view of Han Sen instantly killing the Cabbage Monster in J City’s commercial street, captured by a citizen.

Tatsumaki’s eyes narrowed slightly, and her beautiful green eyes blinked, as if remembering something.

“Huh? This person…”

Tatsumaki stretched out her slender, fair fingers and pointed at Han Sen on the screen, her tone carrying a hint of unusualness that she herself hadn’t noticed: “I seem to have seen him somewhere…?”

The staff member felt the pressure on his body suddenly loosen, as if granted a great pardon, and quickly said: “Miss Tatsumaki, this is the mysterious powerhouse Han Sen, whom the association is currently focusing on!”

“A few days ago in J City, it was he who resolved the Demon-level monster ‘Frost Cabbage’. You and Miss Fubuki were also at the scene at that time…”

“Oh, I remember now.”

Tatsumaki suddenly understood, and the scene from that day immediately appeared in her mind.

The man in the picture was tall and handsome, and his process of rescuing the Fubuki Group was completely calm, as if everything was under control.

Especially when he walked towards the monster against the blizzard, his leisurely pace formed a sharp contrast with her sister, who was being suppressed by the monster and looked dishevelled!

—He was just some guy who came out of nowhere and just happened to save Fubuki…

Tatsumaki would never admit that she had a rather good impression of that guy.

Recalling her thoughts, her drawing style quickly reverted to a rough stick figure pose, and she waved her small hand: “Hmph, he’s just a guy with a little bit of strength, it’s not worth you making such a fuss.”

Even so, her gaze lingered on Han Sen’s information for a few more seconds uncontrollably.

Then she saw the photo taken by a passerby on the beach, showing him appearing simultaneously with King and Amai Mask.

King, that inscrutable silent guy… and Amai Mask, that sickeningly narcissistic guy…

Hmph…!

This guy named Han Sen, he can actually be related to them?

It could be said that King was the only hero in the entire Hero Association that Tatsumaki couldn’t see through.

Tatsumaki couldn’t help but feel a hint of curiosity about this man who seemed to know King and might soon become her colleague.

Of course, only a hint.

In her opinion, besides the man who was rarely seen and herself, all the other S-class heroes in the Hero Association…

Were still far from good enough!
