1.
Envy is said to be the furthest emotion from understanding.
To realize what one pursues just as it is, is difficult.
Furthermore, simply comprehending that as it is isn’t an easy task either.
We cannot fully know others, and what we yearn for ultimately tends to be something out there, external to ourselves.
Therefore, even if I admired and sought to chase after a hero or idol, becoming exactly like them was impossible.
No matter how much I resembled them, I could never fully become that presence.
Hence, I pondered.
Even if I’ve done well until now, what about later?
How could I guarantee with certainty that after experiencing numerous events, my current resolve would remain unchanged?
People change momentarily, and with every moment, they undergo transformations.
The result of these changes might signify progress or regression depending on individual choices and judgments, but one undeniable fact was that this transformation affected not only physically but mentally as well.
Could I, without a doubt, summon courage in the face of any kind of fear?
Could I truly act as a hero when faced with an enemy that only instills dread and vast uncertainty?
This was the question I posed to myself,
And until now, a question I had yet to answer.
But now, it’s different.
The appearance of the monstrous snake clad in steel has
brought me not just a sense of certainty but a revelation.
A sudden and improbable plot twist.
An enemy that never appeared in the original story.
Even my instinctive judgments.
‘Ah. I see.’
This was undoubtedly the work of someone pulling strings.
Who the mastermind was, I could easily guess.
I was irritated but, at the same time, I marveled at my instincts.
That thing—
was an adversary perfectly suited to testing me.
An opportunity to resolve the doubts I’ve harbored so far.
Therefore, I must not step back here.
If only to become the existence I admire!
When I reached that conclusion, I realized that my steps had already taken me closer to the monster—‘Binah.’
I propelled myself forward. Extended my hand and fired the web shooter. It cut through the sandstorm and reached the creature. With everything I had, I—
attacked the beast.
BOOOOMMMMM!!!
A flash of light erupted, causing a shockwave that swept through the sky.
The sandstorm I had crossed was pushed away by the impact, and the blurred sky cleared almost instantly.
And—when the sandstorm that had cloaked Abidos dissipated and the sunlight illuminated the city, the scene beyond the storm was revealed to everyone on the scene.
The hero punching the monster—
And the monster whose head was bent backward after being struck by the hero.
That sight made everyone present think the same thought.
“Hero…”
Hope had arrived in Abidos.

The news about Abidos spread in the blink of an eye.
It all began with a single post on a community forum within the Kiburatos internet network.
[What the hell is this?]
(Giant mechanical snake appearing in the streets of Abidos.jpg)
What the hell is this thing??!
Suddenly, there was this big sound and then this thing came out!
Why would it appear right in front of my store?? What the hell is going on?!!
I’m running away while typing this so no questions please.

[???? What the heck is that??]
[I don’t think this is fake just by looking at it. Are you serious?]
-[Yeah, it feels surprisingly realistic though.]
-[So many similar posts are popping up. Is this real?]
[What the hell, this thing looks terrifying. What is it?]
[You psycho, just run already instead of posting about it;;]
[Abidos is doomed with a thing like that coming out???]
[We will never forget you… Abi… what?]
-[mol?lu?]
-[It’s Abidosis, yep.]
[Wow, look at the chaos in the city.]
[Why are there Gehenna kids there, what’s going on?]
[Huh? Isn’t that teacher who briefly appeared on screen??]
[……Silk is there too??]
Following the news with images capturing the Abidos situation and indicating urgency, the majority of viewers initially dismissed it as just another inflammatory post or a probable fabrication.
In a community populated by various sorts of people, that was the general attitude.
Even though a few were skeptical—“What if…?”—it was just speculation.
Had another post not appeared afterward, that is.
[Y’all, switch on the TV quickly. Something big is happening.]
(Image of a news broadcast about Binah’s appearance)
This is real;;;;;;;;;;
Shit, is Abidos really doomed now? What can we do??
=[Comments]=
[Shit, is this thing real??]
[Holy crap, is this really not fake??]
[What the heck is that and why did it just come out randomly?]
-(Writer) [How should I know, st;;;;;;]
-[If you don’t know, you should figure it out]
[Look at how the city is in chaos.]
[Why are there Gehenna people appearing on screen?? What’s going on?]
[Eh? I thought I saw that teacher just now??]
[……Silk is there too??]
Following this post with a captured image of the news and subsequent authenticating posts that verified its reality,
a flood of numerous posts confirmed that the situation in Abidos was not a lie but indeed real.
Most people reacted with disbelief at its reality and naturally tuned into the news updates on Abidos, while some quick-witted individuals realized that the news screen had been hacked.
They didn’t delve beyond that realization.
For they had astutely discerned the purpose behind the hack.
There was only one scene shown on the screen.
The appearance of the snake monster and someone opposing it.
And the moment the most famous figure in Kiburatos appeared on the screen, everyone understood.
The purpose of hacking the broadcast was one.
To swiftly spread the news throughout Kiburatos.
And—to reveal the heroic deeds of the hero.
That was it.
[Today’s Silk Location Briefing]
(Image of Silk attacking Binah)
She’s already out there fighting the snake.
Ah… Is it you again, GOAT….
=[Comments]=
[Damn, how did she know about this place?]
[Wait, Silk has been mostly active in Abidos lately. Did she know this incident would happen?]
-[But if she knew, wouldn’t she have only found the Kaiser?]
-[Hmm. If the snake’s appearance is because of Kaiser and Silk was chasing Kaiser … right??]
-[Eh?]
-[Eh? Shit?]
[Kaiser, you bastards!!!!!! Is it you again????!!!!!]
[Argh, is it you again, Kaiser???]
[This guy is just the chaos god, isn’t he?]
[Kaiser should go bankrupt immediately if that’s the case]
-[Hell yeah]
-[Rub it in]
-[I’m on Kaiser’s side, but I agree with the bankruptcy]
-[Kaiser doesn’t talk like that…]
[So, do you guys think Silk can beat this thing? Frankly, this monster seems unbeatable to me…]
-[Are you calling Silk ‘dude’?]
-[Troll, where are you from???]
-[Haha, there’s actually someone doubting Silk]
-[Yeah, but honestly, haven’t we ever seen Silk fight such a huge monster before? How can she defeat this thing?]
-[…]
-[Hmm…..]
[Whatever else I don’t know, Silk showing up just made me calm down hell yeah]
-[True, I was scared until Silk showed up, but now I feel so supported]
-[She gives such stability just by existing. GOAT indeed…]
-[Thank you always…]
Community forums were buzzing, and the entire Kiburatos region heated up with Silk’s appearance.
With each arrival of heroic deeds often highlighted in everyday news, the atmosphere that was dark just a moment ago brightened considerably.
People who had been in despair embraced hope with the hero’s arrival,
And those who had been feeling fearful rejoiced upon seeing Silk.
When Silk managed to knock the snake back and dispel the sandstorm, the community was nothing short of awestruck.
Silk is showing it again.
The hero of Kiburatos appears no matter where.
We can trust her. We can count on her.
The mecha snake boasting its towering size, unnamed before this event as “the snake monster,” appeared to waver after taking a hit from Silk. The scene was nothing short of mythical.
“I knew you would come, Genzaang!”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you……!”
At the same time, those in Abidos witnessing Binah’s real-time appearance were moved to tears.
They quickly spread news through the forum and identified the Gehenna leadership team somewhere near, not knowing why they were present, but knowing they needed to stay close to the strong for their safety.
People who were too far to reach nearby bunkers or shelters naturally headed toward the location where Gehenna and Abidos students had gathered, finding there:
“Heh~ Can you trust me, Leader-san?”
“That’s what I want to ask you. Let’s have a temporary alliance this time, Takanashi Hoshino. Until we deal with these things.”
“Hehe, agree. Let’s leave that monster to Silk-sensei and handle what we need to do ourselves~?”
“Leave the command to me. I’ll support as well as I can.”
Scenes of the strongest from each academy relying on each other.
And the renowned teacher leading them all.
Even more,
BOOM- BOOM- BOOM-
Terrorized Soldiers.
Somehow, automata with a bizarre blue glow appeared in the downtown area, making their way towards them.
Seeing enemies so oppressive that merely looking at them was daunting, a girl shone her eyes brightly and muttered.
“…What coincidence. That monster appears and now we get these blue soldiers.”
As if this was to tie up our hands.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of coordination is improbable. Without someone intentionally intervening, such strategic moves wouldn’t take place.
Thus, it was reasonable to assume that this attack was targeted not at us but at someone else— Silk, specifically.
Gehenna’s leader, Sorasaki Hina, came to that conclusion, watching the ominous automata.
“…Feh. We’ll quickly settle this and go help her.”
“Heh~ Looks like we’re on the same page, huh? Leader-san.”
Seeing that the same judgment had been made, the bloodshot eyes of Takanashi Hoshino were gleaming, and Hina gave off a hollow laugh.
She seems well-acquainted with Silk. It’s not surprising that her mind works the same as mine.
“Hurry up and settle, let’s go.”
“Hehe. Alright, shall we go, Leader-san?”
The strongest of Abidos and the strongest of Gehenna.
Both ran to the enemy in the same instant.
To assist the hero fighting for their sake.
3.
“Fuck!”
At that moment, the hero, carrying the expectations of everyone, let out an extremely coarse curse.
“Damn worm, this is just so messed up!!”
Thanks to there being no one around, Silk cast off the hero mask and laid bare her emotions. Distressed that the terrain of this city made it difficult to use her web shooter, unlike in the urban areas of other academies, and that the accursed Binah was faster than expected.
‘The distances between buildings are too wide! How am I supposed to use this?’
She could not easily utilize her advantage in mobility.
Binding and attacking Bi-na was not plausible.
‘Infinity’ was an attack that required cooldown and damaged Silk herself each time it was used.
The only means available to Silk in the current situation were physical strength, extrasensory perception, and the Tom Ford Suit.
In this situation, how can I defeat Bi-na?
“Huff… Calm down, calm down…”
Despite the disadvantageous situation, she gathered her thoughts.
Isn’t overcoming challenges like this what makes a true hero?
Thus, rather than being angered, she needed to stay calm, analyze the situation, and find a way to victory.
BANG!
Dodging a swing of Bi-na’s tail, she continued to think.
All the fighting techniques from the original story have already been erased from my mind.
What’s left is information about Bi-na’s patterns or attributes.
With these extrasensory perceptions guiding her, she hasn’t allowed Bi-na a single hit so far, but the longer the battle continues, the more her stamina would drop rapidly.
The fight needed to be concluded quickly—this was her conclusion.
But how?
“…”
Even at the cost of burning myself from head to toe.
One method came to mind.
Since this snake—meaning, Bi-na is ultimately a machine, there’s one property that could exploit its weakness.
Current—or electricity.
With an unsettled gaze, I looked down at the Tom Ford Suit.
What if I overload the suit’s capabilities?
Would it be possible to strike Binah?
Would it not charge instead? If so…
…
I dunno. Just try it, what.
It’s said that to kill a monster, one must become a monster.
And that saying is indeed true.
“I’ll… become Thor.”
From this moment on, I’m about to become the God of Thunder.
Crackle!
A spark flashed from the Tom Ford Suit.
