Heroes are usually objects of envy. Beings who value others over their own lives, existing for the greater good. They shine under the applause of the people simply because they are heroes. But that's where it ends; salary is a different matter. Compared to the danger of the job, the pay is terrible. At least S-Class heroes are strong and handle a lot of work, so they get paid well. The A, B, and C-Classes below them are essentially earning minimum wage.
Sang-hyuk is tired of this reality. It's not like his abilities are weak, and it's not like he can't do the job. Why does he have to be discriminated against compared to the S-Class? Out in the field again today, Sang-hyuk leans against a city alleyway, letting his frustration build while the S-Class heroes take all the action. For the record, he's not slacking off; the S-Class heroes kicked him out, saying an A-Class would just get in the way. "Ha... seriously. If you're so annoyed, then give me some work. I can't work if you don't give me any... Ugh, how am I supposed to survive this week... Should I just go full villain??"
