Chapter 12 - Pain

I didn't see a reason to reject him so I decided to go along with them. So I got into the car with him as the rest of his team dealt with the villain back there.

"I take it you never saw a villain before." Eto says casually.

"No. On TV maybe, but that's about it." I respond calmly while trying to ignore the pain in my chest.

"Well, that was Vespera Noctis. He can be quite a strong villain but luckily Silver Neko was around. We haven't really discovered the truth behind his power yet." Eto says while crossing his arms.

He was considered a strong villain by the commission? I can only imagine where that puts me if I was able to stand against him like I did.

The fight wasn't completely decided by silver Neko but I don't know if it would've been ended as quickly. I'm still a pretty low level with this system so I have quite a bit of ways to go.

I also need to keep this thing hidden from people like Eto since the hero commission was originally formed through the government.

I'd prefer not to have any issues with them.

~It is quite exciting to deal with such a risky predicament. The hero commission would probably be quite interested in me! (⁠。⁠・⁠ω⁠・⁠。⁠)⁠ノ⁠♡.

I'm glad you are enjoying this but I don't think it'll be a good thing if they find out about you. Systems were wiped out a long time ago for a good reason.

At least that's what they told us about the whole situation. I don't really remember much about it otherwise.

"But, you were there trying to help which is why I'm curious about you." Eto continues on with a bit of a serious look in his eyes.

"I didn't want anyone else to get hurt after what happened at my apartment building." I respond with a serious tone.

"You were one of the residents affected by the accident? I apologize, I didn't realize." Eto says with a sincere tone in his voice.

"It is what it is. Nothing can fix what happened but I didn't want anyone else to get hurt so I tried to help." I reply with a calm tone.

The pain in my chest was definitely radiating quite a bit which sucks but I think they'll patch me up at the commission's tower. I could see it out the window, it wasn't too much longer till we reached the building.

Heroes were definitely around this tower a lot more, I could see quite a few of them walking around the entrance as we pull up.

"Here we are. I'll get you patched up first, then we can talk more." Eto says as he exits the car.

I got out as well and follow behind him. Watching everyone around me as they seem to take notice of me.

I definitely don't think Eto just brings people like me back without a hunch that I might be a secret hero. Especially with the way they are looking at me.

This place is definitely not for a random civilian to go so I'll assume that this will be an interesting conversation.

As I entered the tower I could see a bunch of people in a similar suit to Eto but they didn't seem to pay much attention to me. Most of them seem to be dealing with the heroes that are wandering around the lobby.

"A lot more heroes than you expected, right? People are always surprised." Eto says as we walk.

"I definitely knew a lot of heroes existed but I never thought I'd see them like this." I reply honestly.

"We have to figure out where they fall on our ranking system before deciding what the best option is. But we never force any of them to work with us. They are free to go to other corporations or organizations." Eto speaks with a calm tone.

"Here I thought they were all slaves to the government." I say with sarcasm.

"Haha, no. We'd never do that to anyone. But sometimes the lack of control pushes them to become villains. But once they join the commission here, we have a bit more power over everything but that's only because of our contract." Eto replies with a laugh before taking a serious tone again.

It makes a lot of sense that some heroes would go down that path if they don't think the commission is doing something properly. But some just prefer to bring chaos into the world without a second thought.

I could never do any of this stuff. I'm surprised I even fought against that Vespera guy. That's something I never once thought I'd do in a million years.

Heroes have a lot to deal with.

"This is the medical room, they'll treat you before we continue talking." Eto says as he gestures for me to enter the room.

I enter the room where a bunch of medical professionals are standing in white gowns with masks on their faces. Each of them seem to be looking right at my wound already.

"Come, take a seat here." A woman instructs.

I listen to her instructions and walk over to take a seat. She didn't have a mask on like the other ones around the room.

She was taller than me, has long beautiful brown hair, blue eyes, and it is kind of hard not to notice her... Boobs. They were big and right in front of me. She is wearing a doctor's uniform as well.

"Like what you see?" She teases.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to stare." I apologize with a bit of embarrassment in my voice.

"I'm not bothered. I'll be taking care of this chest wound for you." She responds with a smile.

I could feel the pain jolt through my body as she begins to touch my chest. She seems to be using some sort of device, something I never saw before.

Nothing that a standard hospital would have.
