Event Story – Thrilling Action Starts With HERO, ch. 1

[kozvme]

Nova: Hi~ Sorry, I'm late~

Gray: Tha- Thank you for your hard work... Dr. Nova...

Akira:  You're here finally! Thought you fell down on the roadside again!

Nova: Ahaha, I appreciate the concern~. A meeting simply ran long.
Huh? It's just the two of you?

Akira: You called someone else too?

Nova: That's right, one more person. Perhaps his previous appointment went longer than expected~?
Well, I think he'll be here soon, so I guess I'll just explain it to you first.
How much have you heard already?

Gray: U- Uhm... that they want to do a shoot of our movements while fighting...

Akira: I just heard that all I gotta do is spar.

Nova: Yes, you got the gist.
To be specific, Orga, Inc. asked to have our heroes act as motion capture actors.

Gray: Huuuuuh!? Motion capture actors... for THAT Orga, Inc...!!



Nova: Yes. There was no particular reason to refuse, and HELIOS could obtain good data to study our heroes' fighting styles, so I accepted.
What you're wearing right now are customized inner suits. They're excellent for storing even the smallest movements.

Gray: U- Uh- Uhm, does that mean... my movements will be implemented in a game...?

Nico: Yep, if we're able to do a great shoot, that is~

Gray: Awawah... T- That's a turn-up for the books...! What do I do... W- W- W- What should I do~...

Nova: I heard they're making Akira-kun a melee attacker who specializes in hand-to-hand combat, and Gray-kun a tricky assassin.

Akira: A melee attacker, huh? Would have loved a cool name like Battle Master, though.

Gray: An assassin... That's a super important role...

Nova: There should have also been a guardian that shields his allies with his strong guard, but... is he coming~?

Gray: T- There's a tank, too...
Still, why would Orga, Inc. ask HELIOS...

Nova: Hm, I'll keep that a secret~ There's going to be a big announcement soon, so be patient until then. ♪

Gray: I c- can't wait to know what it is about...!

Akira: Hey, Gray. Is that Orga, Inc. famous or something?

Gray: Yeah! It's the powerhouse developing the At (Alpha try) series...

Akira: Huh!? They're making a console port of that game, then!?

Gray: It's one of the video game companies I've loved since I was a kid... I had to fight tooth and nail in order to win the "pre-order hell" to get my hands on At5...
Haah... Being able to help such a company... I’m so glad to be alive...

Akira: Hehehe, someone's gettin' excited here. We're gonna kill this, Gray!!

Gray: Y- Yes... but, I'm so... nervous I'm sweating buckets...

Nova: Ah, we were waiting for you, Jude-kun~

Gray: Huh...?
