Chapter 25: It’s Not an Ordinary Monster
“Stupid girl. Don’t you even know how to stage something this simple? There’s nothing more effective at silencing filthy, hateful mongrels than making them mourn the injuries of the guardian god who protects them. If the shepherd disappears, the sheep will remember the fear of being torn apart by wolves.”
“Yeeeah, sure, whatever you say...”
“A superhuman must sometimes disguise himself as the weak. If it helps guide the lower beings in the right direction...”
“Ugh, got it, got it, fine, just hurry up and go back to A-City already.”
What’s even the point of making people anxious?
Still, Yu Anna couldn’t help feeling a little envious of Cage’s ability to manipulate public opinion so easily—something she couldn’t do.
Sometimes, even for her, it was hard to deal with clueless citizens who just wanted things their way.
She had no intention of copying him, but when it came to mental maintenance as a hero, maybe Cage’s approach wasn’t entirely wrong.
Case in point: at the train station that connected the cities, a massive crowd was waiting for him.
Cage, who had left bandages only on his head, neck, and one arm—the parts visible outside the blanket—lay back down under the covers.
When the ambulance arrived at the station, Yu Anna and several other A-Class heroes helped him out.
Even while pretending to be injured, Cage looked confidently at the cameras and raised his bandaged hand in a weak wave.
