Just out of HQ@FallenTrinityShindo was quite surprised that Sinnister didn't just continue on walking after accepting his apology. Though the news he shared was certainly worrying. He hasn't heard about this rumor yet, but that only means he hasn't been listening close enough. An uprising? Within the ranks of HA? Ha, they must be crazy. Though... it wasn't really a far-fetched idea. Mr. Pickles's rank up just blew the cap. He guessed that a lot of heroes were angered by this. He knew Violet Reaper was. A C-rank drunkard who has no powers gets a rank up to
S-class because he "single-handedly" destroyed
both aliens. He... He honestly could understand why they would be angry. He didn't feel the anger, but he certainly understood where they were coming from. For someone who worked hard for so many years trying to appeal to the director of HA to get a rank-up and they would merely get a higher rank and rarely move up a class. And they spent years for that. Mr. Pickles spent, what? A few months? Shindo was quite sure that he wasn't in the hero job for too long. He was pretty sure that he was a hero longer than Mr. Pickles.
But something else worried him. It was that Violet Reaper was one of them. He respected the hero too much to even believe this rumor. She was a hero who valued justice. She wouldn't dare do any of that. Or would she? She was angered by his jump and probably doesn't like the director very much... Shindo wasn't quite sure anymore. For this to happen all of a sudden, something else must be brewing. Someone must be pulling the strings - if these were all true. But rumors had to come from somewhere. There must be some sort of basis to it. He should know. Sinnister seemed to get the idea that if they were to retaliate, something bad might come out of it... like losing their jobs. The Association gives them a crap ton of money per year, it's how Shindo's paying for his tuition fees and necessities so he wouldn't burden his parents any longer. Without that, well, a lot of people became heroes for a reason - money sometimes being part of it. So if they were to rebel against the director, then they should be prepared for the consequences.
Sinnister's advice was sound. "Don't trust anyone." It was a phrase he knew far too well. As a man who's searching for someone underground, he knew trust was such a fickle thing. The only way to gain allegiances were through money, your use or same intentions. He could imagine that even in the hero industry, it was still the same.
Then the inevitable question came.
"I know where they're coming from. Angered by the irresponsible actions of our director can surely add fuel to their already flaming harts." Shindo stopped, placing his hands in his pockets and then swept his eyes around the other heroes who were leaving HQ.
"A lot of heroes don't like it. I can tell that much." He then took a deep breath.
"I'd rather not get involved though. Their feelings, their movement, their problem. They can overthrow the director if they so wish; though the only thing I ask of it is that they do not trudge the same path as our director, if they hate him so much."He looked back at Sinnister, eyes hardened as he said,
"I despise hypocrites."
