In light of these perilous times, moreso that a week has past since the death of Zeal, the Hero Commission Board in hopes of diffusing panic has held a press conference in the Hero Billboard Chart in Kyūshū.
Unlike any other broadcast, there were no people preset due to the former being a quarantined area so instead our attendees put their best and first virtual conference, broadcasted all over the net. Hayama Saya famous for her sophisticated Weather News has been granted to usher the conference, therefore gladly making the pointers of information, it also appeared that there's a lot of mixed feelings between the Pillars.
"Firstly, due to the catastrophic toxic fumes caused by the Toxic Villain let us observe Social Distancing and best hygiene practices, please.
Please turn on your force field devices at all times, it will help us regulate out vitals and even shield us from the toxic fumes. As you can see from my holographic screen, Detnerat has created this awesome Support Item to which the prototype was the Face Mask and Face Shield dating back 2019, 774 years ago. Due thanks to CEO Yotsubashi Mariya.
Next, the World Hero Association has hosted a tournament this coming Summer. Wow, isn't that a worldwide Sports Festival, the venue will be held in the United States of America! To compete, our nation's schools will battle it out in the Budokan Sports Festival! More info will be revealed once the day happens!
To cut the chase, may I present you our Pillars!" Much to her chagrin, only a few showed up as it appears that the bandwidth for the internet service provider couldn't handle all data pocketing distribution to those online.
Not only that, Snake Eyes Agency hacked the broadcast to directly address the matter at hand.
"Headmaster Hakune Himura
I am Nikushimi Shinsetsuna, the fourth pillar, Snake-Eyes. You are hearing from me today for uncharacteristic reasons. As you and every surviving Hero of the day would be familiar with, we are in a dark time. Vast numbers of our Heroes have been killed, even our greatest, Zeal, was defeated by The Godfather, Ryukazuki Keyaru. Japan is in a bind, and with our current generation of Heroes against the wall, something must be done. We need a new generation.
I have been serving as a full Hero since I was of the rank of Paige. Unlike most, I prefer to not bother with internships, but given the recent problems, we need as many as we can get. To this end, I would like to inform you, as well as anyone at Eirei concerned with this matter, that I am willing to take on a handful of internships. As many as are willing to train with the fourth pillar. I realize my reputation with the media may paint me as a very unpleasant Hero, but I hope that your students are not so easily swayed that they would turn down an opportunity like this.
I look forward to hearing from Eirei soon.
Nikushimi Shinsetsuna, The Malicious Hero: Snake-Eyes"Having delivered the message calmly.
Hakune logged in, has only revealed a photo of herself as her profile picture.
Believe me when I say this, Shinsetsuna. The deaths of the 144,000 will not be in vain — I am quite the ancient relic for being 120-years old and over but surely I tell you, Keyaru will be brought down in the name of Justice, giving a beat down to the Ryukazuki Yakuza as you know it, is my specialty.
I have fought three Ryukazuki in my lifetime and I'm not gonna let the young boss of the League to have his way.
For more than 95 years, I have served Eirei and our society, the weight on my shoulders is not to be handled alone. The era of Zeal has made a truly complacent effect, while he may have pros, he also has cons. I do not wish to speak against our late symbol but clearly Japan needs to know not to treat your Heroes as gods.
Frankly I tell you, our society is naive and has always been saturated with debauchery and shamless perversion of heroism through celebritism showbiz. By the power vested in me as the #1 Hero, the truth must come out, we are at war with the League and like a game of chess, we are facing a Civil War. Whether the press wants to silence and leave the people in the dark, it's up to them.
Drop mic, I'm outta here..."
“The same can be said for me but we don’t need a system of rankings from the number one down, we need as many number ones as we can manage, if we want our society to fix itself, we need to start with ourselves."
And so a controversy spread like wildfire.
