39 – I resisted with all my might.
Repentance attacked the Heungdeok Police Station, and there was a small amount of property damage and casualties in the process, but despite this, the heroes came forward and stopped the attack. Thanks to this, further bleeding was avoided.
“Whoa…”
This incident will ultimately end with just a few lines of an article. They will minimize the damage caused in the process and report it to the world while hiding their weaknesses.
“As expected, I left out everything about the evil brigade.”
Immediately after the incident was concluded, Handsome, who returned to his seat after supervising the heroes and police, looked at the report, smiled bitterly and thought.
“It’s good to promote heroes, but isn’t this ultimately news manipulation?”
There were only villains inside the police station, and the report omitted any information about the unidentified human laboratory discovered in the basement of the Shanglier Hotel, which burned down and disappeared into history. Hero Handsome sighed and scratched the back of his head.
In fact, the students he was in charge of suffered major and minor injuries due to the Villain Serpent, and most of the incidents that occurred within Cheongju City were caused by the evil brigade going on the rampage – yet he hid so much information and made it public.
“I don’t know what you’re thinking.”
If it had been announced in such a hidden way in the past, it would have been overlooked, but in the past, it was annoying the heroes by announcing useless details in detail, so why is it being passed over so vaguely this time? No matter how hard Handsome thought, he couldn’t figure out the reason.
“Tsk.”
I didn’t like it. That may be natural. If even one of the students had been seriously injured, he might have gritted his teeth and argued-
“Ah, you are here. Teacher!”
“What, when did you come?”
“Just now. Wow… so many documents…”
The students who came to the teacher’s office now, the golden generation who played a big part this time and whose status was raised, suffered only minor injuries. It would be strange if their hard work had been completely distorted and disappeared, but it appears that the students’ contributions as written in the report will still be recognized.
“Never mind. “When you become a hero, this kind of work is part of your daily life.”
“I suddenly started to think seriously about my career path.”
“So, I told you to study hard. Anyway, what’s going on?”
These things ultimately have to be resolved by adults. Students who still have a year and a few months left until they become adults probably don’t need to know this story yet.
Handsome started to think about profit and loss, thinking about various things in his head, and soon he thought that since he had an idea, he would have just dealt with it and moved on, so he put the documents aside and asked.
“It’s nothing special. “I’m planning to do some training this time, and I was wondering if I could use the training room.”
“…Training ground?”
“Yes.”
Handsome opened his eyes wide at the unexpected request.
“How long has it been since you were discharged from the hospital?”
“It’s been two days now, right? “In the first place, I couldn’t say I was hospitalized, I was just lying down for a week.”
It’s only been a week since I was injured and rested after fighting the villain I encountered back then, but I can’t believe I’m already about to start training.
“…I see.”
No. Rather, is that why they want to start training right away? Even though the whole class rushed at them, they couldn’t win in the end and just endured, so are they trying to improve their skills even more?
“It’s special.”
“Then, could you please help us?”
“I also want to do that, but I wonder if my ancestors will take care of this.”
Handsome spoke, pointing not at the documents he had put aside, but at the pile of documents next to him. The students immediately shook their heads and sighed.
“If you have work to do, there is nothing you can do. Then I have to ask other teachers…”
“Is there a principal? Should we go to the principal’s office?”
After being convinced that there was nothing they could do, the students bowed their heads in greeting and tried to leave the teacher’s office immediately while talking to each other about various things.
“I’m sorry, but the principal is not here right now.”
“…Yes?”
Handsome immediately picked up a piece of document from the mountain piled next to him and soon told the students the news, and the students stopped and looked back at Handsome again.
“Did you ding again?”
“No, this time he went out because of work… Even though he ended up going out to meet his friends.”
“Do you meet friends through work? “What on earth is going on like that?”
Is it because I often escaped from the academy before? The students looked at Handsome with distrust, but-
“Because I went to meet my classmates from school… My seniors. “You’ve heard it too, right?”
“Ah…”
The beginning of the golden generation that students are listening to now. Starting with the past No. 1 Hero, Judgment, the 23rd class of graduates, including the current No. 1 Hero.
The students immediately thought of them and nodded with envious expressions on their faces, but Handsome shook his head with a somewhat bitter look on his face.
They are still the best heroes for the citizens, and it is understandable that the students have that expression, but it was not a good story for Handsome, who was a junior when they were attending the academy.
“Then who should I go to…”
“Should we just relax by ourselves?”
“But it’s still good.”
The students soon bowed their heads again and immediately left the teacher’s office. Unbeknownst to them, the story may be a comedy on the outside, but it is a tragedy on the inside.
Handsome immediately remembered the brightly shining faces of his seniors and looked down at the documents with a bitter smile.
“…I wonder why this happened.”
Thinking of two seniors who are now missing, who were a couple in school but are now missing, and-
“Seok-Hoon, I don’t know why you went to see him again.”
Questioning what was going on with the person at the center of them, who was his senior and the strongest hero, gathering his seniors with a stern expression – he began glaring at the documents again.
“-So, what brought us together?”
“I have something urgent to tell you.”
Meanwhile, Handsome is concentrating on his work, glaring at papers as if fighting, and when the students gather at the training site and start training –
“Ha, something to say in a hurry? “You gathered all these busy people together and said something urgent?”
“Yes.”
The golden generation before the golden generation. Among the people who are synonymous with heroes to the current citizens, Seok-Hoon sipped his coffee while looking at the woman who was glaring at him.
“Hey, Judgment.”
“Call me by name. “What is your hero name in private?”
“We’re not that friendly, are we?”
The woman is still glaring at Seok-hoon. If a person could be killed with a look, he would have died dozens of times already.
But what can we do? There are no particular complaints about him having to be looked at like this. On the contrary, if he treated him kindly, he would feel uncomfortable.
“Hey. “That’s a bit harsh.”
However, a man who was looking at the two of them did not seem to think so and shouted bitterly at her –
“You be quiet. “The bastard who ran away.”
“Wouldn’t it have been better to be a villain? “Then I would have caught you instead.”
“Damn. “If he has the confidence to do so, he should beat me instead of retiring and he can become the No. 1 Hero.”
“That’s also the position that Seok-Hoon got after retiring.”
“What are you doing, you idiot? “Have you finished speaking?”
“I’ve done everything, are you going to choose?”
This time, Seok-Hoon, who saw the two growling as if they were ready to fight, let out a sigh and clenched his fists.
Quang!
“…Quiet.”
As soon as he hit the table with his fist, the table collapsed. But this was his home, and the effect was sufficient, so it didn’t matter.
“…Tsk.”
“It’s a shame.”
The sight of them biting and tearing each other like that seemed to have stopped in their school days, but in any case, they were the beginning of the golden generation. The strong people from the golden generation who are still alive.
Gladius, the current No. 1 Hero, and Balance, a former hero but now retired and serving as the police chief.
This table would have done its part just by standing up and stopping the two who were about to fight. If those two fight, even just for fun – not only his house but this mansion itself will collapse.
“Anyway, so what’s going on?”
“It’s obvious again. They brought in useless evidence and said let’s search for it, and then I moved around and searched, but the fight was repeated. No?”
“If that were the case, Seok-Hoon wouldn’t have called us. “Is that thing on your shoulder a decoration?”
“Are you going to fight again? See you later. Anyway… Then what is it?”
Seokhun clicked his tongue as he looked at them, then opened his mouth as he watched them trying to fight.
“I found that child and Yeonseo’s son.”
The atmosphere becomes heavier in an instant. A feeling of pressure surrounds the house, as if something is pressing down on it.
“…What did you say?”
“They said they found Yeonseo’s son.”
This is the biggest obstacle to them and the reason why they chased after the evil brigade as heroes. It would be strange if I brought this up and they didn’t react.
Seokhun looked at those who were glaring at him and smiled-
“Explanation.”
“This is a story from a week ago.”
I soon wiped my smile and opened my mouth.
