Vroom.

The passenger ferry departed from the harbor, emitting white smoke.

"To prison with the criminals! How can it be Sejong Island?!"

"Hurry, turn the ship around! Why are they sneaking off to Sejong Island?"

"We don't pay taxes to support you! Cough up my taxes!"

Despite the protesters' voices being louder than the ship's horn, the ferry left the harbor, heading for Sejong Island.

Several warships followed the giant passenger ferry, providing an escort. On the deck of the ferry were two S-class heroes in uniform and dozens of hero agents.

"This is Busan Port! Amidst protesters raising their voices about whether the ability loss sufferers are being sent to a resort instead of a prison, the ship has ultimately turned towards Sejong Island."

A reporter aboard a helicopter relays the live situation, holding a microphone. Beside him, soldiers in a military-colored helicopter keep a vigilant watch, prepared for any unforeseen incidents.

"Ah, there's the ship! A rubber boat in sight!"

From the direction of the southern coast, a small rubber motorboat, smaller than a fishing boat, appeared suddenly. A man on the boat, shirtless, waved a flag with something written on it.

-Killed my child and now Sejong Island?

The man waved the flag vigorously.

A patrol boat rushed towards the motorboat, but the man, before the patrol boat could reach him, planted the flag on the boat and picked up an object from inside.

"Ah, is that...oil...?"

Whoosh.

The moment the man poured the liquid from the oil can over himself, flames erupted below, engulfing him.

"Self-immolation protest...! Presumably a family member of a victim killed by the Zenros, now performing a self-immolation protest!"

The reporter in the helicopter reported exactly what he saw.

The patrol boat quickly approached the motorboat, but the swift current pushed the boat further away.

"Wh-who's pouring water...?"

Despite the seawater below, the flames seemed poised to consume the man before the boat could explode.

Suddenly.

Jump!

S-class hero, Lee Jun-young, on the deck of the passenger ferry, leapt off the railing, covering a vast distance in a single bound.

Boom!

Lee Jun-young landed next to the boat, generating a massive splash.

The towering spray resembled an underwater torpedo explosion.

The splash struck the lifeboat, flipping it over instantly.

Splash!

Lee Jun-young springs up again, clutching the man at his waist, and lands on the nearby patrol boat, gently laying the man on the deck.

"Did you see that?! Lee Jun-young saved a man attempting self-immolation! A heroic act of saving someone hundreds of meters away...! Truly an example for all heroes!"

The reporter excitedly continues broadcasting the scene.

"Ah, yes. This was the main reporter on site. Shortly, the President will deliver a special address..."
