Chapter 4: Hero Disqualified
"Bang!" He pounded the seat beneath him, making a metallic buzzing sound.
Everything in the professional hero's mental counseling room was made of special materials. When a psychic was emotionally unstable, their destructive power was astonishing. An ordinary chair couldn't withstand the Starlight Knight's angry punch.
"I haven't even reached the level of an A-class hero! How ridiculous! Just because this face was hyped up by superhero fans on the internet, I became the company's spokesperson and went from a B-class hero to an A-class hero. This is child's play!"
I tried to persuade him, saying that this was the doctor's duty. "Why should I doubt my own ability because of this failed rescue operation?"
"From what I understand, this rescue mission wasn't originally assigned to you. You simply happened to be at the scene and hastily intervened in the hostage rescue operation without any preparation. Even other A-rank heroes would receive the latest intelligence from the headquarters' mainframe system before participating in a rescue mission. They would then make the best judgment based on that information and then act."
"That's the problem! I'm the A-rank hero closest to the scene, so why did the main brain system choose Feidun, who's 40 kilometers away, as the executor?
According to the guidelines for superhero rescue missions, the intelligent positioning system will select the nearest hero with the most suitable level and ability to carry out the mission based on the location of all superheroes. I have reason to suspect that my information has been tampered with in the alliance's intelligent system! I am only B-level, and the missions I have been assigned are also in the B-level range, but I have been ranked among A-level heroes. Headquarters and the Hero Company have deceived me!
He emphasized this sentence once again, and this time his accusations were more serious. He not only pointed the finger at the hero company he belonged to, but also at the superhero headquarters.
I pushed my glasses up and looked at him, having to use the name he disliked again. "Mr. Starlight Knight, your allegation that the headquarters' mainframe intelligence system data is falsified is a very serious accusation."
The Superhero Headquarters is the only officially recognized supernatural justice organization in the world. Any other organization or alliance brought together by people with superpowers is labeled as a dangerous terrorist organization. It can be said that it is the only one in the world.
In fact, after seeing many patients, I found that Starlight Knight was not the only superhero who suspected that there was a problem with the main brain system. Of course, the problems of these patients were eventually properly resolved.
I tapped the file in my hand lightly with my pen and asked seriously, "Are you sure you want me to record what I just said in our conversation file?"
"No, that's not necessary. Just consider it as a slip of the tongue." The man said in annoyance.
No one can question the decision of the headquarters, let alone a mere A-level hero. Fortunately, he remained rational in the end.
My voice softened. "While the mainframe system prioritizes heroes based on nearest location, it also conducts a comprehensive analysis to select the most suitable hero for the mission and issues the mission. I believe the system determined that Mr. Feidun was more suitable for this rescue mission."
I continued to comfort her, "Please don't overthink this. Superheroes are human beings after all, and they have flaws, weaknesses, and things they're not good at."
The man's voice was very depressed and tired. "Doctor, I haven't slept for several days. Whenever I close my eyes, I think of the girl who died in front of me. She was only 6 years old, maybe younger..."
He covered his face and said, "Doctor, I already regret becoming a superhero. If I didn't have awakened abilities, how much better it would be if I were just an ordinary person."
"Less than 1% of the world's population can awaken superpowers, and the vast majority of them have ordinary or useless abilities. Even excluding those who have abilities but aren't suited to becoming combat heroes, Mr. Starlight Knight, you're actually a lucky man. You shouldn't say you regret becoming a superhero just because one mission went awry."
I didn’t say the rest. Every year, there are many heroes like Lin Zhixin who have to undergo psychological counseling after encountering problems during missions.
——Heroes are also human beings.
"If you can't sleep, I can try to prescribe you some tranquilizers developed by headquarters for professional heroes. I believe you'll be able to sleep well after taking them. You look very haggard, and perhaps you don't really want to go back home and rest alone. If you don't mind, you can just lie here. I'll get you some medicine later."
The man nodded and agreed to my suggestion.
"doctor."
"What's wrong"
He said a little embarrassedly, "While I'm resting here, can you stay with me for a while? I don't want to be alone."
I smiled and replied in the affirmative, "Of course, that's exactly what I do."
