Help Us Company
CharacterThe Help Us Company, shortened to H.U.C., staffs a line of work almost nobody would volunteer for: getting rescued for a living. Its people put themselves in real danger so that heroes can practice pulling them out, then grade how competently the save was actually performed.
Overview
The Help Us Company, written ヘルプ アス カンパニー and abbreviated to H.U.C., is an active organization built around one distinctly unusual profession: being rescued. It debuts in Chapter 107 of the manga and Episode 57 of the anime.
Role
Every member is trained to put themselves into genuine danger so that someone else can perform the save. Because heroes occupy such a central position in society, demand for people willing to fill that role in training exercises runs high.
The work goes well past simply lying there and waiting. H.U.C. personnel can convincingly play casualties of disasters and villain attacks, and they assess the techniques their rescuers use afterward, ruling each approach either sound or inadequate.
