"The expressions on those people's faces just now, pfft hahaha, so funny." Leticia, sitting in a wheelchair, held her stomach, trying to suppress a laugh. Those reporters didn't expect that the former hero, the 'Songstress', would use the door on the roof of the Hero Association headquarters building.
It was too funny.
"After all, the Songstress has been retired for a long time, so it's quite normal for everyone to subconsciously forget that she was once a hero." Melanie could understand the situation.
The Hero Association only has a few doors, and there are so many people at the main entrance. Rumor has it that the Songstress is not someone who likes crowds, so it was highly likely she would choose this remote side door. Didn't you see that Melanie brought Leticia through this very door?
However, this door is on the ground, so it's easily blocked. In terms of convenience, the door on the roof of the association is still the most convenient and fastest.
"That Songstress, I think I've heard of her too." After laughing, Leticia recalled where she had heard the name, "I think I saw it in a battle report a long time ago."
"The Songstress is considered my senior; her main area of activity was on the battlefield against the demons." Melanie nodded. There were quite a few demons who died under the Songstress's singing.
Leticia nodded in realization, "Oh, so she and I are enemies then."
Although they hadn't met, since she had cut down her people, they were definitely enemies.
"If that's how you really want to think of it." Melanie didn't object to Leticia's train of thought.
Because the Songstress was also a very beautiful girl, and Melanie was still a bit worried about Leticia being seduced by the beauty of this famous Songstress.
There were many staff members inside the Hero Association, coming and going in the spacious hall, and from time to time, someone would smile and greet Melanie and Leticia.
These people were not heroes, but ordinary people.
"We need to go to the underground training ground, and we have to enter through a special passage," Melanie said to Leticia.
Bringing Leticia to a passage with a prominent "Authorized Personnel Only" sign, Melanie took out her phone and tapped the screen a few times.
Then, she held her phone close to the electronic screen by the passage. After a pleasant electronic sound, the tightly closed door opened, revealing a very clean and tidy path behind it.
On both sides of this passage were a dozen elevators with only "down" buttons. Melanie pushed Leticia to an empty elevator and introduced it to her: "This is specifically for the underground training ground. Except for the first floor, the Hero Association is not open to the public. If you want to go to other places, you need the kind of electronic token I just used."
"What's the point of telling me this? Even if I were bored, I wouldn't come here to make things difficult for myself." Leticia curled her lip, indicating she didn't want to know about these useless things.
She just wanted to finish watching and go home quickly.
The elevator ran very smoothly. After about ten seconds, the elevator door opened, and what appeared before Leticia was a super training ground filled with sci-fi elements.
Circular platforms of various sizes floated in mid-air. There were as few as one person and as many as four or five on the platforms. Some were training by themselves, while others were engaged in combat practice with teammates, a scene full of vitality.
The appearance of Melanie and Leticia naturally attracted the attention of some heroes who were not participating in training. Two such beautiful girls would be the focus of everyone's attention no matter where they were.
But were there such beautiful girls in the association? Some heroes thought to themselves.
But since they could appear here, it meant that one of them must be a hero.
"Malanie, please come this way. The training preparations are complete, and we are just waiting for you." A short-haired man in a suit trotted up to Melanie and said respectfully, "May I ask who this is..."
"My friend, and also a helper I invited," Melanie replied indifferently, "Don't ask too much, lead the way."
"Yes, yes." The man wiped his sweat. This Malanie was a figure that the higher-ups had ordered absolutely not to offend. Every time he spoke to Malanie, he always felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
This feeling was particularly obvious today.
On the way to the training ground, the man introduced to Melanie who would be watching the training with them today, "Councilor Sang Zitong of the council, the Songstress, and the Vice President of the Association..."
There weren't many people, but each one was a presence that would make Central City tremble if they stamped their foot.
Er, except for the Songstress; she's just a singer.
Probably?
"Sounds quite lively." Leticia chuckled, "It makes me, a person with social anxiety, feel a bit uneasy."
"You, social anxiety?" Melanie rolled her eyes. Leticia should be called socially lazy. Anxiety? Not a chance.
Could a Demon King have social anxiety?
It's more like others are anxious about her.
Then, the daily bickering began.
The man leading the way for the two girls couldn't be more awkward. He felt he should run away right now, but he couldn't, so he could only be a poor third wheel here.
So these two have this kind of relationship, he thought to himself.
Between two girls, huh? It seems, er, not entirely unacceptable?
After delivering the two flirting girls to the door of a training room, the man wiped his sweat as if relieved, "It's right in here, you two can just go in."
The platforms outside were public training grounds, and using them didn't require extra cost, but the training room Melanie was about to enter was more advanced. Using them required consuming hero battle merits, which were rewards heroes received after completing missions based on the mission rating.
They were settled independently from other rewards, did not interfere with each other, and could be used to redeem various things within the association.
Pushing open the door of the training room, Melanie immediately saw Senpai Sani talking to a beautiful young girl wearing autumn attire.
And Sang Zitong was also attracted by the sound of the door opening and saw Melanie and Leticia.
"Little York, is this cute little girl your friend?"
"Mm-hmm, this is Ohara who lives downstairs from me." Melanie nodded quickly and then began to introduce Senpai Sani to Leticia, "This is Senpai Sani, my teacher and mentor."
"Oh, I've heard so much about you." Leticia curiously looked at the woman who had built the current Hero Association single-handedly during the war years. In her eyes before, this person was a highly threatening and powerful enemy, "I am Quinn Sukina, this girl's neighbor, and I was basically dragged here by her."
