(Excerpt from Weekly “HEROES”)

Thump, thump, thump, thump……

My chest was beating at a furious pace.

Although a considerable amount of time has passed since I entered the Hero business, there are still times when even I get nervous.
Which would be the several seconds inside the catapult, before I am sent towards the scene of the incident.

Of course, I think that everyone already knows, but when there is a dispatch request, it’s my style to be sent flying to the scene by a catapult.

There have been times where I wished for it happen faster, but if I get worked up over it, once I arrive at the scene I will keep on making mistakes.

So, I decided to try something a little different.

For the time before firing while I was in the catapult, I decided to think about completely different things, to calm myself down.

Closing my eyes, I remembered the times in my life where I shined the brightest.

For example, the winter when I was 7, the time I was handed Valentines’ chocolates secretly by the girl I had my first crush on. I was so happy. I couldn’t get over it. But the girl stayed silent in front of me, and didn’t even try to say anything. When I said thank you, she gave a shy smile and ran away without a word. But words were not really necessary. When I saw her face, it was neither necessary to ask if it was given to me because she meant it or not. My heart shook at the unexpected mutual feelings. In that moment, there is no doubt I shined.

Or, the summer when I was 11, the time when I won the scavenger hunt in my first athletics meet by a huge margin. That summer, all the kids from school were fascinated with me. The media was excited. The crowd was pumped up. The boy who had expected to come first reached the goal late and glared at me. That’s right, I was the winner. I squarely sat myself down in first place, and basked in a sense of superiority I had not tasted until then. It was surely the best moment.

Or, the autumn when I was 15, when I was the champion at the judo tournament and was showered with cheers and applause. It was match with my old rival that I wanted to win no matter what. For 3 years, I had been training hard, just thinking of him. There was absolutely no way I could lose. I didn’t think of anything of than the two characters, 優勝, champion. And then, all my accumulated knowledge came to fruition, and I triumphed over him. It was the best moment of being rewarded for my efforts.

And then the spring when I was 17, when I kissed my first girlfriend. I think we sat on a bench in Ricky’s Park for 3 hours, without quite being able to kiss. Finally, I came out with the pathetic “Is it alright if I kiss you?”, and after seeing her nod her head, our lips met. It was very nerve-wracking, but at that time I was also the happiest.

However, all those things are stories from times long gone. I remember, and could nearly cry at my current miserableness.

And then, today as well, I come to be fired out from the catapult.

That’s right, so that I can bring out the best of myself……
