Chapter 159: Outsiders (1)

—

Around 6 hours have passed since Japan's network was manufactured and the country was under attack.

The Catastrophic Dragon's involvement in this attack had already been revealed, which was why all the blame was falling on Star and Stripes' shoulders.

In the United States, Washington DC, inside the international HQ of the Public Safety Commission, a meeting was taking place. Five people were sitting at a round table, present in person, while around a hundred or so were present there digitally, communicating via the hundreds of monitors hung on the wall.

["This is not the best situation if what you said just now is true."] a feminine voice said from within one of the monitors, making the 5 people on the round table nod. ["Is All Might... really so weakened?"]

"Yes, he is." one of the five answered. "That was confidential information, only we and the HQ in Japan were aware of this. But in a scenario such as this, I think revealing it is a much better choice."

["I understand where you are coming from."] an old masculine voice said. ["If it is as you say, and you really sensed communication between The Dragon and the previously announced dead All for One, then yes this is the most dangerous crisis in the world since World War III."]

World War III happened around two hundred years ago, so comparing this with that really highlighted this situation's danger.

["Indeed, if All for One and The Dragon are teaming up against a weakened All Might, they will be able to defeat him. In that case, this will become a world-class disaster. They would need a while to spread their influence around in other countries, but when they do, countries closest to Japan, such as Unified Korea and my mother land China will be the first to be attacked."] said another masculine voice, this time with a Chinese accent.

South and North Korea have unified around when quirks first started to appear. North Korea was the one who took over the south, so some still refer to Unified Korea as 'North Korea'. Because to the outside world, Korea didn't unify, instead, North Korea just enlarged because there was no sign of the South remaining anymore. Though the officials still use the official title for the country, such as what the PSC chairman of China did.

Then, another feminine voice spoke, ["But still, reinforcements in a single day is too much for us. We know you can't just send your Star and Stripes in there, even though it's her fault to let The Dragon flee from America to begin with. Either way, now that both All for One and Red Dragon are together, she will be eliminated sooner than later if she were to go to Japan carelessly. We agree to help out with reinforcements but... We need at least a month to prepare our reinforcements since most heroes don't want to listen to their own government, let alone the international PSC (Public Safety Commission)."]

That's when a smug laugh filled the room, coming from one of the monitors.

["Heh... I don't think that'd be a problem for us Korea, neither would it bother China, would it?"] asked a short fat man from within the monitors, leaning over to smile. ["Unlike you folks, Korean countrymen wouldn't dare disobey the orders of Kim-Jong-Un, the 7th, aka me. I am going to send my own 'Star' to Japan since America is incompetent and their Star is a scared bitch."] he chuckled, hearing the soft grumbles from the five men on the round table. ["Have you heard of my Star yet? She only recently graduated from our military, which I consider to be better than UA by miles. She's an aspiring hero, the granddaughter of our current No-1 actually. Let's not go into further details, you will hear about her soon anyway."]

Many from the monitors sneered at that. How could they have not heard of that monster, even if Korea tried to hide it? The first-year student who went to a tournament against all the other students of the whole school, killing them all and coming out at the top, that was the 'Star' Kim Jong Un was talking about. Ideally, that was a waste of a lot of future Heroes, but if the rumours were to go by... as long as 'Starfire' was in there, no such loss would be a problem to Korea.
