Mickey, the DOS agency's CEO, also thinks one shouldn't discredit her "words," as words possess power in their society. Unlike Ken, who believes Yuwei is more "delusional" than her father, Mickey finds potential in the girl. That's why the DOS Agency signs up Yuwei as Hero Queen.

Meanwhile, Yuwei's graduation speech goes viral on news channels, where reporters mention that many female heroes have gotten a strong dose of confidence from the Queen's statements. One of them also comments on how the hero society hasn't seen a female hero reach the rank of X in a while.

Amid the spotlight on Queen, the news channels cover Bowa's story - a female hero from DOS, whose popularity has also increased following Queen's speech. According to the media, Bowa has received many new fans after a recent interview. As per To Be Hero X episode 11, Bowa also wants to become Hero X.

Meanwhile, Liu Zheng calls Mickey and asks him about the unforeseen events. Mickey says he is even more worried than Liu. However, he tells him not to worry as he is on the way to meet the new X on the Hero Tower. Yet, when he reaches the floor, Mickey sees no one but grasses and mosses encapsulating the room. It's as if no one has been there for an eternity.
