… Metallia's expression twitched a little as Nergal asked about heroes. Multiple memories sprung to her mind about the matter. … Alright. If for the case of educating the inexperienced one...

[color=#afc7b5]‘... I have.’[/color] She answered. [color=#afc7b5]‘They're annoying people that get in your way when you're trying to accomplish your goals. They come in all shapes and sizes, they come alone or in teams. Those who come alone are typically fairly powerful, but this does not mean those in teams are necessarily weak. Regardless, they always come uninvited and seemingly out of nowhere.’[/color] She gave Nergal a stale look, to see how he was listening up until now.

[color=#afc7b5]‘Their abilities are too varied to give examples of, and to talk about each I've seen would take too long for the time we have right now, I can go into more detail about the heroes I've faced at a later time, but they're typically very hard to kill. Many of them have powers that support them, but even those that don't should not be underestimated.’[/color] There was a great deal of annoyance in her expression, which was speaking for the multiple losses she had suffered against their kind.

[color=#afc7b5]‘Many also have codes of honour. It can be easy to take advantage of it. More than once have I been able to take advantage of a hero's loss of fighting spirit upon seeing that his or her opponent was someone like me.’[/color] There was a feeling of that Metallia's sense of superiority was insulted by such actions in her expression as she said that. Because, she obviously felt that they had insulted her by being unwilling to harm her. … Though, then there was that time...

[color=#afc7b5]‘... Then there are those that... don't.’[/color] Metallia hesitated a bit in her word, thinking about the event. She turned her head forward again, her body tensing up a little at a particular memory. [color=#afc7b5]‘I've met... at least one who hunted for the one who attacked with no mercy or hesitation, intending nothing more than to end my life for good. ...’[/color] Metallia frowned, getting a little slower in her steps, recalling the rather frightening event...

[color=#afc7b5]‘... Regardless.’[/color] Metallia sighed a little, regaining her cool and returning to the present. [color=#afc7b5]‘As a group, we should be better suited to dealing with the typical hero-attack as a whole team compared to me when I was on my own. [sub][i]Though I was better prepared when I was on my own...[/i][/sub]’[/color] She grunted something. [color=#afc7b5]‘Then again, I never attacked something as big and valuable as a central bank in a big city, either. I cannot promise the accuracy of my own experiences. Be on your guard.’[/color] She breathed out in satisfaction after her own rundown, slightly satisfied with it.
