My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 315

Kisha observed that many of the new warriors were among the newly awakened superhumans, possessing defensive and offensive-type abilities, which made it easier for her to assign them tasks. Others, however, were already working in different departments or handling various odd jobs around the base.

Kisha decided to make them an appealing offer. "I notice that many of you with offensive and defensive abilities are spread across different departments or doing odd jobs, while most of you are already part of our defense force.

Although our recruitment for warriors has officially concluded, as we’ve reached the limit, I still want to extend an invitation to those individuals with such abilities to join our defense force. The compensation will remain the same."

After Kisha finished speaking, someone raised a question. "But City Lord, we’re now superhumans with abilities. Why should our compensation be the same as the warriors who were recruited earlier and don’t have any abilities? Wouldn’t that be unfair to us superhumans?"

The man’s words struck a nerve with the newly recruited warriors who had stayed to watch. They felt insulted, as though their contributions were being undervalued. While the man had a valid point, they believed that all warriors, superhuman or not, should be treated equally.

"You’re right, you make a valid point. But equality means giving everyone the same opportunity to achieve something. This is your chance. The reason the compensation remains the same is because, as warriors, you’ll all be putting your lives at risk to protect this base. Whether you have awakened abilities or not, when facing danger, all lives are equally vulnerable. Nothing can change that reality."

"But since you are superhumans with greater potential, promotions will be within your reach—that’s your opportunity. The higher you climb, the better your compensation will be. So, tell me, does that still sound unfair?" Kisha’s voice was cold and firm.

She understood that many of them, now feeling empowered, saw themselves as the chosen ones—the future saviors of the world—and naturally desired better lives.

Heroes to be revered by the ordinary, but they must also understand that such a position comes with great responsibility. They can’t afford to be arrogant or dismiss others simply because they’ve awakened abilities that set them apart.

With Kisha’s words, the recruited warriors who hadn’t awakened abilities felt a sense of warmth and protection. Their City Lord had their backs, ensuring that the superhumans wouldn’t trample over them. She made it clear that, even in these times, people should remain humble and avoid becoming so arrogant or proud that they lose sight of their connection to ordinary humans.

However, Kisha also made it clear that normal humans shouldn’t take the superhumans for granted or view their sacrifices as something expected just because they’re considered heroes. She ensured that everyone understood the importance of mutual respect and recognition for the efforts of the superhumans.

"As superhumans with awakened abilities, you carry a greater responsibility than most. But before anything else, you’re still human, and no one should take your efforts for granted. That’s why I want everyone to start at the same level as warriors—so that your promotions are earned through hard work, not just because of your abilities.

Every contribution will be recognized, appreciated, and rewarded accordingly. There’s no need to feel that this is unfair."
