8 – Start
Monday, March 1st.
After today, the long winter vacation ends and the first semester of the 4th grade begins.
The slave graduate students in the lab sent a group text message even though the semester had not yet started, as if they had stayed in the lab in Section 3.1.
[Web transmission]
If you have applied for a leave of absence this semester, please contact us.
I didn’t send a text message because I had no intention of taking a leave of absence, but when I received this text message, I realized it.
University begins now.
My heart is pounding.
If you are a senior in college, it is too late to enter a hero-related club, and you cannot transfer to a related department or double major.
Still, the premonition that something was going to happen made me excited.
Though I think I should study NCS with insurance, I can’t turn the page at all.
I can’t.
I decided to run outside and walk for a while.
There was still a bit of a chilly wind outside, but it was still good enough to cool the beating heart.
Before you sign up for a training room or gym for the talented, let’s check your limits.
With that in mind, I moved toward a mineral spring that I would never normally go to.
ㅡ !
Awkward.
Standing tall, I looked back again.
It’s that feeling again.
A strange feeling, like someone is staring at me.
It was like licking your whole body with your tongue.
I was out of breath.
However, that sensation soon faded away.
What the hell is that?
ㅡ … I’ll have to be careful.
Sure.
Since I used my psychic powers to do that, I don’t know if someone is watching me.
I think we should refrain from talking to this monster for the time being.
It seems like I’m having a conversation in my head anyway, so I’m sure it’ll work out somehow.
I hurriedly left my seat and headed for the spring.
There were few people at the mineral water spring except in the early morning.
Climbing the back mountain while enduring the rather chilly weather in early March seems like an arduous task even for the old men of the mineral spring.
I didn’t even feel that unpleasant gaze when I came all the way here.
I decided to move my body lightly and do what I could.
I did chin-ups while hanging from an iron bar, did long jumps, high jumps, and 100m runs.
I definitely felt like I could do more, but I felt like I was missing something.
It seems that my brain is not keeping up with my physical abilities that have changed.
From noble mtl dot com
For example, my 100m time was between 11 and 12 seconds.
But now, even 9 invitations are easy.
I feel like I could run faster than this if I put my mind to it, but that doesn’t work.
My legs twisted strangely when I tried to move faster.
It was the same for high jump and long jump.
My physical ability has improved enough to be listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Still, I feel like I can do more, but it was difficult beyond that.
Anyway, I think I need to adapt to this changed body and learn how to use it more efficiently.
I need to find out about the training room and receive guidance in earnest.
ㅡ It would be good to learn how to feel when you transform your body.
And this guy is also a problem.
The power that comes out when this guy transforms his body is incomparable to now.
If you set your mind to it, you can unleash unbelievable strength enough to pierce a bear’s stomach with a stone sling.
However, whether or not I had that control was a separate issue.
You need to learn how to use your body a little more efficiently.
It has to be possible, but it can be said that he took his first step as a hero.
Lee Jin-woo (23) is finally a hero.
A little excited, we decided to have lunch at a nearby restaurant.
There were only a few people in the restaurant, so it wasn’t completely quiet.
I was sitting in a moderately empty seat and was picking out the menu when the TV caught my eye.
The TV had a 24-hour news channel.
I stared blankly at it before ordering food.
On TV today, news about monsters appearing from somewhere and what kind of villain caused an accident came out.
It seems that many of the monsters that have appeared recently are D-class monsters that do not do much damage.
Monster A low-level monster with a strength level of 1-3.
Most of them have a level of strength similar to that of a person who would die if hit by a car.
After 3, 3.1 ~ 4 Is C grade, 4.1 ~ 5 Is B grade, and the grade goes up to S grade based on this standard, and S grade is a monster that corresponds to a national disaster situation.
It hasn’t appeared in Korea yet, but when it first appeared in China, there was a real uproar.
This is an incident in which the heroes learned that no matter how strong they are, they are powerless in front of an overwhelming mass.
China has a large population as well as the size of its land, resulting in considerable casualties.
The heroes hurriedly evacuated the people, and tremendous firepower poured into the empty city.
That was an incident five years ago.
Three years ago, an S-class monster appeared in the United States, and it also caused enormous casualties.
The reality is that there are limited heroes who can face A-class monsters.
It is an established theory in the academic world that if an S-class monster had appeared in Korea, not in the US or China, Korea would have collapsed.
Since that incident, personal firearms for heroes have been made all over the world.
A weapon that uses the hero’s psychic powers and the core from the monster’s corpse to produce overwhelming firepower while not causing secondary damage due to radiation or explosion.
In the United States, it was announced that they had created a weapon named Railgun.
Rumor has it that countries like China and Russia are also making similar weapons.
Anyway, it is a story that monsters appear and die all the time, except for those monsters that are overkill.
That’s why the news never stops.
So I didn’t expect much.
ㅡ The following is an incident that occurred at Eunseong Hospital.
Beep.
Look around, look around.
In response to the word ‘Eunseong’, I raised my head from the rice soup and looked at the TV.
There was a familiar sight that had already been turned over 100 times.
A bus rushes menacingly with sparks flying.
A man who stops the bus and stumbles.
In the news, there was an additional video taken with a smartphone that I found on the Internet the other day.
‘Everyone else… Musa, are you done?’
“Oh, that’s cool.”
“Sure.”
The men who had been eating soup sitting at another table were looking at the TV with happy expressions.
A few insignificant words can make your heart throb.
I hurriedly ate soup and left the store.
I was really grateful for my body that didn’t break the roof of my mouth even if I ate a little hot soup.
I felt like I had to walk all the way to Eunseong Hospital to cool my overheated heart.
I walked a little faster toward Eunseong Hospital.
***
The new semester has begun.
I put on slightly cleaner clothes than I usually wear, checked my face in the mirror, and left the house.
It takes 50 minutes to get to school by bus, and it takes about an hour if there are traffic jams.
Honestly, after going through the bus incident, I was afraid to ride, but I have no intention of taking a long subway or taking an expensive taxi.
She got on the bus and was about to sit in her empty seat when her grandmother got on the bus with her hunched back.
I got up from my seat and gave up my seat to her grandmother.
“Oh, thank you….”
“No.”
Anyway, the body is strong enough to go to school in a horseback posture.
I glanced at her grandmother, grabbed her handle, and pulled out her smart phone.
I usually sit on the bus seat and study for licenses, but I don’t have to do that anymore.
As a result, the only thing I could do was surf the web.
As a habit, I was searching for the Eunseong Hospital bus incident on Google.
ㅡ It’s a disease of modern people.
What?
ㅡ Modern people feel the loneliness of wanting to be acknowledged.
I overheard the words of a monster who learned a lot about humans in just a few days.
Because I felt like I would be persuaded without even realizing it.
No, think about it.
Someone is praising me, and that’s happening to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd reprocessing.
I can’t stand this.
As I was fiddling with my smartphone with a happy expression, someone put a finger on my smartphone.
What?
I raised my head slightly because I wanted something, and there was a very familiar face standing there.
“Mamang.”
“… Now, that bullsh*t is one year away, senior.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Did you prepare well for NCS during the vacation?”
“Huh? Umm… I did well.”
“What is the reaction like?”
Lee Ji-eun.
He is a one-year junior in the volunteer club ‘With You’ and his nickname is Maman.
It was said that there were two younger siblings with a considerable age gap at home, but perhaps that’s why the children followed him so well.
At first, I got angry at him for calling me by that nickname, but now I feel like I’ve gotten used to it.
“I like our ‘Odeok’ sunbaenim~ Professors have good reviews and good grades~”
Who is Oh Deok?
What a rude fellow.
As we were talking, the old lady in front of me tried to get up from her seat.
“Student, student. Thank you. Come on, sit here and go~”
“No, be careful.”
“Thank you.”
Her grandmother laughed, patted me on the shoulder, and left.
“Sit down.”
“The senior is sitting down.”
“Tsk. If you want to sit down, sit down.”
“Yes~”
The author pretended to bounce and then she sat down.
“Please give me your bag.”
“Come.”
When I handed over the bag, the author lifted my bag a couple of times, put it down, and frowned.
“Why is your bag so light?”
“One notebook, one pencil case.”
“You bastard, really.”
“If you twist it, would you fill in the credits too?”
The author hugged my bag and smiled bitterly.
“Seniors are still the same.”
“What?”
“I gave up my seat to her grandmother.”
“It’s Grandma.”
“… I mean, that’s still the case.”
The author lowered his head slightly as he said that in a muffled tone.
“What?”
“Senior otaku. Hero otaku.”
The author snorted at her and she said so.
“If you like heroes that much, you just want to be a hero. Why do you go to business school?”
“Sure. So now I want to become a hero.”
“Yes?”
“I am a hero.”
“….”
The author looked at me with blank eyes.
It’s not even April Fool’s Day, so I felt like I was talking nonsense.
“I’m not kidding. I really want to be a hero.”
“… Why suddenly?”
“Are you a hero otaku?”
“And if it fails… ? Aren’t you sorry? I studied so hard….”
“It will work somehow.”
Grade management is basic, and club activities are also frequent.
She attended the MT every year, and always prepared a gift for the professor in charge on her birthday.
So it’s only natural that such a reaction would come out.
In Korea, the vacancy that occurs while not being able to find a job after graduating is quite fatal.
Still, it’s not that scary.
Because I think I can make a living in any way.
It’s more frightening to not be able to do what you want to do and to drag it on until you die.
“I’m here.”
As we talked, we arrived at school before we knew it.
It seems that the author still can’t believe that I will become a hero.
“Ah, senior. Hello.”
“Uh, yes.”
“Hello!”
“Eh.”
Friends I knew only by name greeted me and waved appropriately.
“Oh, that’s right. What is the timetable for senior lectures?”
“Ask quickly.”
I pulled out the timetable app on my smartphone and showed it.
“Oh, what is this? Total bullsh*t!”
The schedule was mostly special lectures by guest lecturers and was full of N/P for 4th graders, so only two subjects were tested.
Even that test was an online lecture, and it was a sweet lecture that ended with taking an offline test at school during the test period.
There were a lot of people who signed up for the courses, so if you turned them on and didn’t fall asleep, you could easily get an A or A+.
“A hero must allocate his time well to dispatch at any time.”
“… It’s stupid.”
I took the phone away from the grumbling author and walked to the club room.
“Ah, let’s go together!”
I think I’m a little tired because I have to explain the situation to the professor in charge and the advisor.
The professor in charge is just a random professor, so he’ll tell you to work hard.
The advisor might be angry.
Because he is the one who took care of many things.
Wouldn’t it be a hero to overcome such hardships?
ㅡ What an insignificant hero.
Shut up.
I’m a hero like a friendly neighbor like Spider-Man.
