The Hero
Volume 6 – Dominator
Chapter 1
“Yawn.”
A person could be seen coming outside with a hot cup of coffee in his hands.
The thing hidden within the dark lay closer to the ground, inquiring the person. Although faint, there was a certain strength being emitted by the person.
There was no doubt about it. It was magic.
“Huh?”
The guy drinking his coffee while yawning, saw a black cat quietly appear in front of him, so he bent down to touch it.
The guy was in a black outfit and as he smiled warmly at the cat, he extended his hand out. No matter who saw it, the cat looked like a cat burglar, but the guy liked animals. And as if the animals could understand his feelings, they were p.r.o.ne to follow him.
“Come here, whistle.” (TN – The author actually has 우쭈쭈 (OoJjooJjoo) down, which is a sound effect people usually use on babies or cute animals. Didn’t know what to write down that was equivalent to it, so I put down whistle.)
“Meoooowww.”
The cat was alert at first, but ended up walking up to the person. As its face was being rubbed, it stood still. The person thought it was a cat burglar, but it didn’t seem like that was the case.
“This guy, it"s really affectionate towards people. I wonder if it has an owner?”
‘I guess I can spend the rest of my night duty together with this little guy.’
Thought the guy. He was wondering what to do for the next couple of hours, so he was fortunate to meet the cat. (TN – Is he really fortunate? O.O)
Sadly, that thought did not last too long.
The cat that was receiving his rubs suddenly released a strange light out from his eyes.
Wrap.
“Huh?”
The guy’s eyes grew round with shock.
“UGH!”
His right hand was enclosed with the cat’s body. As the guy freaked out and took several steps back, the cat’s whole body expanded wrapped itself around the guy’s body.
“AGH! S, Save…….”
As the guy moved about to get himself free, he fell down to the ground.
His screams were immediately swallowed by the darkness.
Gulp gulp.
The guy’s foot shook erratically.
If someone was able to see the situation that was happening currently, they would have been able to stop things from getting worse. However, there was n.o.body around to witness the situation. It was 10 minutes past midnight, and it was too late for people to be walking about.
Ironman was laying in bed staring out into the starry sky.
Today was a day he would never be able to forget for the rest of his life. It was his first time having an interview with a reporter, and he was broadcasted at night. It was awesome. As soon as Ironman’s face came out on TV, his phone was ringing with calls and messages, as if it was on fire.
Ironman received many calls from his friends as well as family, telling him how proud they were of him.
Ironman was feeling great.
He felt like he was able to become the Hero he’s always dreamed of being.
However, he knew the truth. It was a fact that Ironman wasn’t the one to save the refugees in the shelter, but was actually Silver Knight.
When Ironman heard Silver Knight saying that he didn’t want to be known to the people, it was true that he really did get angry inside. However, if one thought about it, it wasn’t right to impose into someone else’s life, even if they are Heroes.
A person’s life can change completely, just for being born with magic within their body. And, some people think that this is irrational and absurd, so they shouldn’t be forced to sacrifice their personal life.
‘That person looked like he had a lot on his mind as well.’
Now that Ironman thinks about it, Haneul was a very special person.
There has never been a person until now, willing to be considerate of his feelings. Yet, strangely, Haneul tried to be considerate, and also tried to console him.
As soon as Ironman thought of that, he was able to realize how unseemly his actions were today.
‘It’s all because of my shortcomings……..’
Because Haneul was being so considerate, Ironman acted completely different from how he would normally act. He was normally a person that thought of others before himself, but today it was the opposite way around.
‘How embarra.s.sing.’
Ironman scratched his head, and he was not able to sleep for awhile because of the thoughts in his mind. He wanted to call Silver Knight tomorrow morning in order to apologize.
As he thought this and closed his eyes to sleep, it happened.
‘What’s this?’
Ironman immediately got up.
“Hey, Tigerman. Did you feel anything just now?”
Ironman asked Tigerman, who was resting next to him. However, all Ironman could hear was loud heavy snores.
‘What’s this?’
Ironman had a complex expression.
He was able to feel a sharp feeling from outside earlier. It wasn’t just his imagination. He was definitely able to feel something. However, there was n.o.body else in the hospital who was able to feel it except himself?
‘Was it just my imagination?’
His mind could have gotten sharper, because of his recent fight to the death in the battlefield. Ironman tried to lay back in bed to sleep, but it happened again.
Ironman frowned and jumped right back up from the bed.
‘No. It’s not just my imagination. I was able to feel it again.’
In the first floor of this hospital, Ironman has been feeling a fluctuation of magic since earlier. It definitely wasn’t at a level that could be mistaken. It was strong enough for him to immediately jump out of bed, so it didn’t make sense that n.o.body else was reacting to it in the hospital.
‘Again. I just felt it again.’
