107 – Ominous flag(4)
After washing and going down to have breakfast, the office manager approached and informed that the advisory chairman was waiting.
“Everyone, I’m here. I have places to go.”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to see Hee-won’s father. I couldn’t have an interview with him the other day.”
“Then let’s go.”
When Han Min-ha smiled softly, Yu Hee-won pretended to vomit as if she was disgusted.
cute, both
I was guided by an employee and moved to the place where the advisory chairman was.
The large building standing in the middle of the large garden is where the advisory chairman and Yoo Hee-won’s mother live.
As is the case with places where rich people live, the advisory chairman’s study seemed to have moved the entire management office.
For me, who had never lived as a rich man, it was quite awkward to have such a decent library in my daily life.
Upon entering the study, the advisory chairman greeted me.
“Welcome, Professor Hyun. Are you having a good time?”
“Yes. But aren’t you going to work?”
“It’s time for a little talk today. Sit down.”
As we sat down on the sofa, the advisory chairman said.
“For now, it’s related to Goshawk.”
“How’d it go/”
“At the administration level, investigations were initiated into the crimes committed during the field practice. But it wasn’t very easy.”
“Didn’t you obediently respond?”
“Do you think so? Rather, they even fought to prevent our people from entering his office.”
“Crazy. Against the Administration.”
“Originally, he’s a crazy hero. But now, he’s calmed down after being attacked by heroes belonging to the Bureau. We’ll take care of him from now on, so don’t worry too much.”
“Then I won’t care anymore. Please don’t come back and cause a commotion.”
“That’s how it should be. It seems like the aftereffects from you are a bit big.”
“Is that so?”
The advisory chairman looked at me for a moment and then asked.
“What kind of technique did you use?”
At that time, as I explained the techniques in the two duels, the advisory chairman shook his head.
“No matter how much it was, it was too much. Only against A-class heroes.”
“But I couldn’t help it. Goshawk was serious about the duel. Otherwise, the chairman would have been facing me in the intensive care unit instead of here.”
“When did you joke so much?”
The advisory chairman said with an expression that was not very funny.
“Judging from the techniques you used, Goshawk died a little further from there.
“well….”
“You know better that Secreto’s rank shouldn’t be viewed the same as the ranks of outsiders.”
The advisory chairman urged me with admonishment.
“Besides, you’re no longer Secretto, you’re an academy professor. It’s difficult to ask anyone like a mad dog like you did in the past.”
“It can’t be. It’s because Goshawk asked for a duel first.”
“Yeah. I know that. But you shouldn’t have fought. You could have kept Goshawk from touching a hair on you.”
“But Goshawk put my advisor in danger. No professor would have been able to sit still after seeing it right in front of his eyes.”
“Even if you assault the same, the weight of punishment applied to ordinary people and martial arts players is different, Professor Hyeon. You really almost killed Goshawk.”
“Yes.”
“From now on, if you get into a fight with anyone, take care of yourself. I don’t want the hard work I put into putting you in the academy without any official career to go to waste.”
“I’ll try. As long as the Bureau controls Goshawk properly.”
“I promise that. By the way…”
The advisory chairman said with a slightly softened expression.
“You probably have more questions than Goshawk, right?”
I was also noticing.

Maybe it’s a matter of course.

Materials provided to the Academy’s Doctrinal Development Center include a video containing clues to the Green Cloud.
And I am an academy professor with a very close connection with it.
It was only natural for me to ask the advisory chairman about it.
“If you know, please let me know what I’m curious about.”
“I’ll ask you first. Do you intend to get revenge?”
“Yes.”
At the firm answer, the advisory chairman shut his mouth and stared blankly at me.
“Of course I will.”
“Several years have passed. What does it mean now?”
“There are some things that do not fade over time, but rather become clearer.”
“Things have changed. Now you are no longer Secreto. You are a professor guiding students.”
“That’s right. Things have changed.”
As he agreed with his words, the advisory chairman’s expression softened somewhat.
But it wasn’t sympathy.
“I’ve already found out about the past that the mind barrier intentionally blocked. Things have completely changed since then.”
“Professor Hyeon… Wake up. Why are you trying to break a life that was guaranteed so hard?”
“If you already know everything, you can no longer be complacent in the comforting reality. No.”
I looked directly at the advisory chairman and said.
“To be complacent, you must take revenge.”
The advisory chairman, who was silent for a moment, opened his mouth.
“Is it because of Han Tae-woo’s daughter?”
“Yes.”
“I took care of that child myself. I officially paid the survivors’ pension for the missing Han Tae-woo couple and even put in a letter of recommendation to the academy. And now you’re taking it. By guiding the child, you relieve the guilt of the Han Tae-woo couple. Rather, they will be grateful to you.”
“No. Manager. It’s not.”
At the title of department manager, the chairperson flinched slightly.
It is the title secretto agents call the chairman, and it is a disguised title to look like an ordinary office worker to the outside.
“Here lies a heavy burden that can never be lifted.”
He said while holding his left shoulder, which had an artificial joint inserted in the accident at that time.
“Han Tae-woo and Seo Ji-ah died because of me. It’s because I, as a supporter, didn’t play my role properly.”
“It’s not your fault. The hero who filmed the video sent to the academy this time couldn’t get any closer because of the poisonous gas. Poison gas that was so strong hit you. No team could survive in that situation.”
“Even so, I could have died and saved the senior couple.”
“Professor Hyun. Why are you so stubborn?”
Why are you like this?
That is, of course, because of Han Min-ha.
If it wasn’t for Han Min-ha, I would have lived a gloomy life as an academy professor without remembering anything.
Thinking he was possessed by a ruined web novel, he coughed and mistook himself for a consumptive disease he never contracted.
Always searching for non-existent answers on how to return to the original world, whether a quest would appear.
However, everything turned upside down the moment Han Min-ha handed me a handkerchief from behind the auditorium during the entrance ceremony.
The things I knew changed in an instant, and I, who was alone, now have three advisors.
yes. As the advisory chairman said, it is not bad to live as an academy professor who is guaranteed everything.
It would be rewarding to go to a job with a decent salary and a guaranteed pension, and to graduate three cute rabbit-like students with excellent grades.
But that’s the story when I’m nothing but an ordinary hero.
I am a former Secreto agent.
A dirty unofficial hero who has been looking for the dark side and doing all sorts of dirty things.
A despicable person who annihilated his teammates in an instant and turned away from everything with a bizarre technique called mental barrier to protect himself.
And now, seeing the daughter of a deceased colleague, he feels guilty.
Han Min-ha tells me to shake it all off, but I can’t.
The more Han Min-ha says that, the more the weight on my shoulders grows.
From now on, I will have to keep looking at that child, and whenever I see Seo Ji-ah’s face, the memories I try to forget will continue to rise to the surface.
And when I see Han Min-ha’s tears again, I can’t guarantee that I will be able to endure it even then.
If I hadn’t known Han Min-ha, I would have lived somehow with the thought that I’m sorry for the senior couple, but the people who live must live.
No, at least if he hadn’t felt any feelings for Han Min-ha… .
A ruthless mental barrier that even blocks people’s emotions regardless of the user’s will.
But for some reason, I have feelings for Han Min-ha and the children.
Great responsibility and deep affection.
So it is.
Like Han Min-ha, who said that since I am a precious person to him, he threw away his guilt and hoped that he would not suffer anymore.
Han Min-ha is such a person to me, so even if I wanted to throw away my guilt, I couldn’t.
Because you’re so precious, that’s why I’m trying to get revenge, Min-ha.
To make a perfect knot and to face you completely after everything is over.
And wouldn’t it be better for you and your friends to be an ordinary professor with a sound mind rather than an abnormal person who broods over regrets while rotting inside?
For the sake of Han Tae-woo and Seo Ji-ah, who were my only friends in the past, and you, who are my only friends now.
“I’ll get my revenge. So tell me, chief. About him.”
The advisory chairman, who had been looking at me for a long time, opened his mouth with a light sigh.
“Secretto is planning a retaliatory operation against him.”
