The official of the hero association are gathered across a long time, with chairs higher than the uncomfortable one the applicants are seated on.
Classic trick. Assert dominance. This time, looks like the hero association is trying to put pressure on the candidates. No ego feed this time. The questions comes one after the other.
>"Why do you want to become an hero?">"What are your biggest qualities as a person?"And other expected questions.
One of the member of the table gets really unpleasant.
>"Your file shows nothing. Nothing, peanuts, nada, zero. What are your qualifications? Should we trust someone with zero experience?- Because the hero association would prefer unregistered weirdo wandering around, doing as they want without coordination, preventing a good use of ressources and logistic or deploying hero for threats already dispatched?
>Why should the hero association trust you?"The man is more and more pushing, really red, and offensed. Kaede can't help but feel full of disdain. Judgy much? What have you for yourself, greasy middle age office man?
"Why did the hero association sent me a head-hunter that helped me prepare that interview if they don't trust me?"
Shuffle and agitation on the table.
>"We... Did not do such a thing" - the first jury, a measured and quite comely man clarifies.
"Are you kidding me? Playing the deniable plausibility card? Mister Kinton, Kinton Watanabe, an office man with a limo, field agent?
>"Never heard of him "Yeah, maybe it was to be expected. Pen pusher are not in direct contact with the executive and field agents after all.
>Nobody knows who he is - maximum note reduced to 40>Final note in social : 40>Final Kaede Hero Exam : 80/100Notes from the jury : The candidate was received, despite a concerning lack of raw strength and attempt to use a made-up member of the association to grant an higher grade.
The jury resolved to apply sanctions in order to ensure that the candidate meets the required standards but the exemplary outcomes achieved in the remaining components were of such high caliber that the candidate's acceptance became inevitable"
Alright, she's received and made a lot of people resentful for it. Absolute victory.
