Volume 7 – Disjunction
Chapter 13
* * * *
The Hero Organization was very busy for the next few days, because of the tempest that had swept through them previously.
“No matter how many times I see it, I still can’t believe it.”
YooShik Kim was staring at the updated information regarding the D Rank Hero, Ironman.
It was the Hero who had retaken his body examination.
When he had received the instruction to provide a reexamination from his superior, YooShik Kim was confused as to why he had to do this kind of laborious work.
However, looking at the figures that had shown up after having established the reexamination, he understood why.
Thinking that something might be wrong with the system, YooShik Kim had inspected the data multiple times. Yet, the results did not change.
An in-depth examination consisted of a detailed process that inspected various things. Not only did it examine one’s magic capacity, but it also calculated one’s fighting abilities, instant reaction speed, detecting abilities, etc.
Receiving a sudden summons from the Organization, Ironman had sincerely done his part to retake the exam, even though he was filled with wonder. He looked as if he did not understand the current situation.
The inspection was done repeatedly, but the results were always the same. Most of the figures show on the results weren’t special.
However, there was one thing that showed a big difference.
‘His detecting abilities increased exponentially. How is this possible? There has never been a situation like this before.’
Not being able to understand even with his own knowledge, YooShik Kim decided to consult with the researchers. However, they were also thinking that the situation was strange.
The doctors began showing interest, because this was something that has never happened before.
‘How exactly am I supposed to explain this situation?’
Yooshik Kim quickly informed Director Park regarding his findings.
“Yes sir.”
YooShik Kim made his way towards the Director’s office.
Within the last few days, Director Park’s eyes seemed to have grown a few shades darker.
“You look very tired, sir.”
“That goes to show you how ‘out of standards’ this last situation was. Although the casualties aren’t as high, the back-end work is on a whole different level. Either way, I’ve seen the results for Ironman. I hear you had already consulted the researchers?”
“Yes, that’s correct. Seeing that this situation was a first for me as well, I had no choice but to suspect my own eyes.”
“If limited to detecting abilities, he seems to have reached the level of an A Rank Hero……”
“There’s no doubt that there has been some change with him internally. There’s never been an instance where a Hero has increased their abilities so significantly.”
“Yes, I agree with you. Following the changes with the rifts, this goes to show you that an awakening within humans is also happening.”
“Sir. I’m sure there was a reason why you had wanted us to reexamine Ironman. Would you be able to tell me what that reason was? If you were to tell me the reason, I may be able to find a clue to solving this puzzle.”
“Clue you say……..”
Director Park thought for a moment.
Looking at the glint in YookShik Kim’s eyes, Director Park could tell that he was a pa.s.sionate person.
“Before that, let’s talk about another person.”
“Sir, why do we need to talk about another……”
Suddenly, a light was shown on the big monitor behind Director Park.
It was a woman that looked to be in high school.
“Who is this? I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone like that amongst the Heroes.”
