The Hero
Volume 5 – Silver Knight
Chapter 7
n.o.body knows how long Kyung Chul Lee has been waiting for this moment.
‘Finally, finally I can step all over this piece of s.h.i.t.’
As Kyung Chul thought of this, a chilly pleasure dominated his mind. He never thought a day like this would finally come.
The past Haneul’s level was way too low, so the chance of him awakening was low and even if he did, he should only be Rank D at most. Stepping over a piece of s.h.i.t like him would be nothing.
‘Minah, I’ll at least agree to this much. Your eyes weren’t wrong. In the end, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d even awakened.’
To Rank B at that.
However, it’s really uncommon for someone to awaken into a high level right from the get go.
‘There’s no way he’s Rank B. That defies common sense. It’s probably just the press messing around.’
Kyung Chul has always been watching over Haneul, ever since he’s been formally dating Minah.
Minah’s endowment has always been excellent. There were many talks of her stating that she awakened near the same time Murray’s Earthquake hit. That’s why, right after enrolling into school, she was able to become a Hero right away.
That’s why the guy she should be dating should be a guy who’s the best of the best.
Because she was the perfect existence!
‘However, that’s not you Haneul.’
To Kyung Chul, Haneul was less than being nothing. It was a well-known fact that awakening was really hard to do. However, a guy like Haneul enrolled into the army, then came back and awakened out of nowhere.
Kyung Chul was honestly happy.
He could now step on Haneul.
KyunChul stopped walking.
The location he chose was an area that was about 30 kilometers north of the school.
They had to take the taxi over to the control zone, then walk quite a bit to reach their destination which was a grayish landscape.
This place was similar to a wrecked city after an Earthquake. It was a place filled with emptiness and loneliness.
“What do you think, this spot should be good enough, right?”
Kyung Chul smiled brightly.
“This is the location of where the disappeared 4th city was at. An earthquake this place 12 years ago, and the strong monsters that appeared wasted this place to nothingness. After that, a lot of things similar to magic started appearing here, so it turned into a place where civilians can’t live in anymore.”
“So you’re saying we can avoid the Organization’s eyes here?”
“Exactly. It’s forbidden for Heroes to fight each other, because they affect and damage the surroundings too much. However, this place is okay, because it"s already been abandoned.”
Haneul looked at Kyung Chul.
There was a murderous intent in his eyes.
It felt like it really wouldn’t matter if someone was to die here today.
“You want to kill me huh.”
“It seems like you’re scared now that you’re here. Alright. I’m a hero and I know what it means to show mercy. Get on your knees and beg. If you do that, I’ll at least spare your life. However, if you want your body to be left intact, make sure you beg with both your hands and knees touching the ground.”
Haneul’s expression changed.
“What’s your name?”
“What? So you forgot my name too. Keke. You must really have something wrong with you…..”
“Shut the f.u.c.k up and answer my question. What’s your name?”
Haneul’s whole atmosphere changed.
Even Kyung Chul was able to feel it.
“Open your d.a.m.n ears and listen well. My name is KyunChul Lee. Don’t forget it, even after your death.”
“Kyung Chul eh. I have no idea who you are. I thought if I knew who you were, I’d remember once I heard your name but that doesn’t seem to be the case.”
“What c.r.a.p are you saying now?”
“Ever since I came to this weird world, I knew that not every hero would have a sacrificing heart or would give it their all to protect the civilians. I knew there would be people like you. That’s to be expected, since we’re all humans.”
Haneul’s expression relaxed.
After realizing Kyung Chul’s childish intentions, Haneul’s thoughts and unrest completely disappeared.
Haneul thought that the existence of Heroes in this world were all the same, just normal people who transcended into Heroes.
‘That’s right, it’s normal to have these types of people.’
Haneul for some reason thought and was pressured into thinking that he himself had to be filled with justice, have a heroic spirit, and fight with everything he had.
However, somewhere in his heart, he wanted to deny this part of him. He didn’t want to believe that all Heroes were going to be like that.
Because they were humans, they were able to show justice filled actions.
And because they were humans, they were able to show other ugly actions.
If Black Walker and Ironman were categorized to be in the previous group, then Kyung Chul right now would fit in the latter.
“For some reason, I want to thank you. My heart feels like it was able to relax a little. That’s why Kyung Chul, what is your motivation? You waited until I awakened, and also brought me out to this location, so what is your motivation for all this.”
Kyung Chul was p.i.s.sed.
‘Does this piece of s.h.i.t really not remember anything? Yet he still followed me over here?’
Kyung Chul was overflowing with anger. He was the only one that felt sour in his heart and could not forgive Haneul. At first, Kyung Chul just wanted to beat the s.h.i.t out of Haneul, so he wouldn’t be able to walk around arrogantly in front of him.
But now, his thoughts changed.
Crack.
Kyung Chul’s eyes changed.
‘Am I person that’s not noticeable to him? To the point where he can’t even remember me!!’
Kyung Chul has always spent time thinking about Haneul, filling himself up with rage and jealousy, yet Haneul didn’t even know who he was or what his motivation was.
Kyung Chul really wanted to kill him now.
“It’s because of Minah! Minah shouldn’t have been obtainable by a piece of s.h.i.t like you. What’s the reason? Why is it that an insignificant guy like you can be next to her? She’s a perfect existence. Her abilities, appearance, everything is perfect! But what are you? You barely just awakened now. You’re such a sneaky b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Are you like Rank C or something? Do you think you’ve actually become something because of the press messing around? No, that’s not it. Even before that, I don’t believe that you’re Silver Knight. I know. You’re a wicked piece of……..”
“Is that all you have to say?”
Haneul cut Kyung Chul short.
He couldn’t listen to his nonsense anymore.
Haneul thought it would be a bigger reason than that.
Chapter 7 – End.
