The Hero
Volume 5 – Silver Knight
Chapter 6
It wasn’t too hard to guess as to why the Dean was being so cautious of Haneul. Although Woon Rim College was a national school, if one was to look at the area it was placed in, it was located in the outskirts of the city. There weren’t any famous Heroes from the school, and although it wasn’t too noticeable, the amount of students applying to the school was gradually decreasing. In a situation like that, advertising a famous Hero was great marketing for the school.
“I’ll think about it.”
Haneul ended the call like that.
“Hoo. Are things going to be okay like this.”
Everything just happened on impulse and anger.
Haneul tried hard to separate his personal and work life.
Thankfully, Haneul was promised to be interviewed with his armor on, and without being known for his true name.
– Really? We’d be very thankful if you could! Honestly, that’s better for us!
Surprisingly, the reporters seem to like that idea more than I thought.
Either way, Haneul agreed to the interview out of impulse and anger.
So, there really wasn’t anything to regret.
Haneul felt that, if what he did at the scene of the earthquake was extraordinary, then the other Heroes that were pa.s.sed out from fighting the monsters should also get recognized.
It’s absurd that fancy and active Heroes get popular after every Earthquake, yet none of the Heroes who died while protecting the civilians in the shelter even get their names announced.
Especially how Ironman was fighting without any regards to his life, Haneul knew he didn’t have that sort of strength, yet he was the one being put in the limelight.
“Who’s this? Why is such a famous person like you just sitting around leisurely at school?”
Haneul turned his head around.
There was a tall guys standing there with a smirk, and with his hands in his pockets.
‘Do I know this guy?’
He was a face Haneul has never seen around school before.
“I really can’t stand looking at your dull face. What? Because the Dean called you over and started saying Silver Knight this, Silver Knight that, you really think that he’s talking about you?”
There was one thing Haneul was sure about, and that is this guy is not confronting him with kind intentions.
“You need something from me?”
“Do I need something from you? This piece of s.h.i.t is being pretentious. You don’t remember what you f.u.c.king said to me last time? That you will be my opponent once you become a hero? What, now that you became a hero, are you scared?”
“I’ll be your opponent when I become a hero? What are you talking about?”
Haneul had no idea what the guy was saying.
As Haneul was frowning, he was able to feel magic slowly pouring out from the guy standing in front of him.
‘He’s a hero.’
He’s not at a laughable level like the Dean.
“You’re not on the same level as a normal student. Are you by any chance a Hero?”
“Ha, Look at this f.u.c.ker. Are you really not able to remember? Or are you just pretending? You’re making me dumfounded. I heard you’ve been out of it these days, but it seems to be true huh? Did something happen to your head after you awakened?”
“That’s what I’d like to say. You having problems with communication? If I asked you a question, you should be answering. Who are you to ask if there’s a problem with me?
“Keke, that’s how you should be. You’ve been acting a little different recently, but you still seem to be you. That sharp tongue of yours is still the same, that way it’s more fun for me to step all over you. I didn’t mess with you before since you weren’t worth my time, but now there shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“What is it that you want?”
“You should know. Well, if you’re scared now then you can continue talking that way. If you stand behind Minah again, I guess I can let you off.”
Haneul’s expression gradually turned chilly.
The c.r.a.p this guy has spouted so far, has finally hitHaneul’s nerves.
From the way he’s talking, it seems like something happened between himself and the guy in the past. And whatever that reason was, it seems like Minah was a part of it as well.
“I don’t know who you are, but it doesn’t seem like you don’t have ANY commons sense. Since you didn’t bother with a non-awakened person.”
“It’s not in my tastes to step all over someone who’s not worth my time. Even now, much hasn’t changed, but I’m getting sick of you sticking your head here and there. I hate b.i.t.c.hes who think they’re more than they really are.”
“So, what is it you want to do?”
“You can’t understand me? Let’s fight till one person looks like a b.l.o.o.d.y pig.”
“You should have just said that in the first place then. Why do you have so much to b.i.t.c.h about?”
As soon as Haneul spoke with a chilly tone, the guy’s face froze over.
“It doesn’t seem to be a lie that you were able to become a Hero, seeing as how you’re not running away. Follow me. Even for a n.o.body like you, you should know that it’s against the law for Heroes to fight one another.”
“Good. Lead the way.”
Haneul stood up. As a matter of fact, Haneul already wasn’t in a good mood, because of situations that he could not control.
Kyung Chul Lee made a face filled with ridicule.
“You’re actually arrogant enough to come out. Hey, you’re really going to die. You can’t understand the situation that you’re in right now? Do you feel like the world is below your feet, since you were able to awaken? Ha, this guy is really being over confident and trying to act big. Do you really think I won’t be able to kill off an existence like you?”
“Shut the f.u.c.k up and eat s.h.i.t. You really talk too much. When are you going to stop spouting bulls.h.i.t when you’re the one that wanted to fight?”
Chapter 6 – End.
