chapter 38
38 – Change (3)
After the reunion, I was given a brief test.
Because the doctors could see my condition as extraordinary.
If a hero has no mana, in other words, he has no life.
The condition was serious enough to be considered dead.
It was like a miraculous awakening after no improvement.
Because mana is a unique and capable substance in the world, it became one of the cases in which the cause could not be properly identified.
What. To begin with, being a superhuman should be normal.
Even if your whole body burns and freezes, even if your limbs are split, how can you survive as long as you breathe…
Anyway, I decided to leave the hospital after 2-3 days, and now that evening came, I had time to myself.
“I want to go home soon…”
The sisters went home.
Since it was a single room, there was room for two people to sleep together, but the hospital room was a hospital room, an uncomfortable place for people to stay.
I also thought that a house with a soft bed would be better than having my sisters sleep in a place like this.
The two of them took care of me in their own ways so that I could rest comfortably.
Sometimes when I see this mature side, I don’t think I’m looking too young…
I wonder if it was because he knew about the terrible past.
I thought of her as a younger sister who still needed to be taken care of.
Maybe that’s the reason why it doesn’t really touch me even though I can see the side of my body that has grown compared to my age.
“…Okay~ What. What does it matter?”
No matter how they grow up or what they look like, it doesn’t change that they are precious people that I have to protect.
We’re not going to live together forever, so let’s not worry too much.
Rather than that, there was something else I needed to check.
─There was a lot of talk about seniors. It’s articles, it’s jokes, it’s the Internet… Maybe it’s still up?
It’s about me.
Even if you scratch it, you won’t get much information.
At most, a B rank, an independent superman who left the Hero Association, and uses a sword?
No.
That’s why it’s going to be more cubic.
A guy who seems insignificant was actually a very talented person?
There will be no other news story, interest, or fun like that.
Because being a rookie is always noteworthy, I’m sure that when the news of my discharge from the hospital spreads, there will be people who move.
I’d rather have that.
Rather than focusing attention on my sister, I’m more focused on myself.
According to the Superhuman Protection Act, a guardian must accompany the ability verification, so the abilities of the two have not yet been revealed, but if they are revealed, rumors will spread.
‘If that happens, I don’t know what problems will arise. Villains can move… Even the hero side can’t be trusted.’
Of course, it might be too much of an idea to see them in the future.
Yoosua’s ability is ‘light’
Yoo Seo-eun’s ability is ‘darkness’
You can never get a low grade even if you simply list them.
If the two of them had natural talents, it would be an easy solution if they were able to fool the judges themselves.
In this day and age, hiding power is almost impossible.
So you’d better not think about it at all.
“Rather than that, let’s see what’s been said.”
When I turned on my cell phone and checked the internet, I burst into laughter without knowing it.
“…Hah. What is this? This.”
The length of the article was provocative and there were only embarrassing titles.
[New Hero Swordsman? Who is he?]
[Appearance of a supernova that uses a sword… Independent hero who left the association]
[Unconscious swordsman. Will he wake up?]
[The hero ‘Swordsman’ who uses a unique sword… What will happen next?]
“Wow. Crazy. f*ck…”
I can’t lift my face because I’m ashamed.
No. How could a knight be flooded with so much just by using a sword?
Even after a month has passed, interest is as hot as it was yesterday.
First of all, it’s been a long time since basic information was stolen, and the fortunate thing is that family matters haven’t been stolen.
Well, even if you don’t belong to this kind of thing, the country itself protects it quite well.
Especially if it’s a notable superman.
It was especially fortunate that there was no word about Yoo Soo-ah and Yoo Seo-eun.
“There’s a lot of talk going around. Ugh…”
What kind of EX rank will you represent Korea?
Looking abroad.
Have you already completed a contract with an H&A company?
f*ck. Where the hell did someone tell you this?
There’s no way that Hoyeon hyung or Sujeongie said it, did they just wrap it up as a reporter?
Every last sentence is ~~predicted, ~~expected, ~~unconfirmed… Etc. It was just dry words.
I wondered if this would happen in a community as well…
As expected. It was very hot.
The good thing is that the atmosphere was a little cold.
Other words were exchanged, but my story was sticking out.
“Ah. My head hurts.”
I turned off my phone because I felt like I was going to die of shame if I kept watching.
I can understand why Su-Jung Han arranged for a single room.
If it was a normal hospital room…
… I was truly blessed with so much grace.
♬~♪~♩♩
“Huh?”
As soon as I turned off my cell phone, the ringtone rang, and when I checked, Hoyeon-hyung was calling.
I was happy to receive it in a hurry, but I heard a slightly nervous voice.
[Hello.]
“Oh. Brother!”
[Are you Seojin? What. What are you so excited about?]
“What is it? Did you wish to die? It is a pitiful voice?”
[Noisy dude! Okay! Didn’t you just search for it?! Uh?! What kind of crazy guy goes out to fight a villain with no armor and a sword?! Did you forget everything about being a hero?!]
Um. Dear father nagging.
I’ve been unconscious for a month, but I’m still the same.
Though that kind of thing is rather intimate and good.
“Ahahahaha… But you survived.”
[I am proud. Hey! Ugh… I have to do it in moderation to cover myself up as a younger brother, but Won. I don’t know what the association is doing to take care of the guy who left.]
“Ugh. Brother! This younger brother can’t live without him!”
[Stop talking about growing chicken. What. So how about it?]
When the atmosphere calmed down, I told him about what had happened.
Especially when I say that articles about me are coming and going… I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t speak.
[I’m leaving the hospital in 2-3 days… Anything?]
“He seems fine. But he told me to refrain from using force for the time being.”
[Of course. Hey. Are you going to die again? What… It’s fortunate, but there will be a lot of troublesome things after that. Because in the hero society, kids like you are always full of interest.]
“What are you so interested in? What is EX rank? Don’t you know how strong they are? They are unknown how strong they are.”
[Since you, who uses a sword, are also unknown, it is so in the eyes of others. When did you become so strong? A few months ago, it was completely insignificant.]
“Eh. Huh?”
My heart was pounding for a moment, and I thought of what to say as much as I could.
I thought of what to say, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with it, so I decided to just gloss over it.
“That. Just something. I got stronger. Uh. Um. I continued my swordsmanship training after that! Anyway… Swordsmanship and the like are scattered around, right? So…”
[Okay. Hey. What. Let’s move on and talk about the details later. Rather… I feel like I have to give you bad news.]
“Bad news?”
As the atmosphere suddenly calmed down, I had a hunch that something really bad had happened.
Because we’ve been together for a long time, and Hoyeon-hyung hasn’t set the mood once.
I was nervous at the same time as someone who didn’t hold a serious mood even if his voice got high or he got angry suddenly.
“…What is that?”
[…] After… that is… ]
“It’s okay. Brother. Tell me what’s going on.”
[…] I think I need to meet one of the presidents of the association.]
“…What?”
I felt a moment of tension.
It wasn’t because I had to meet a high-ranking person.
It was because I was able to meet one of the factors of defeat in the war.
At present, the top tier of the Hero Management Association, a nationally recognized organization, is the 7 presidents.
There is a law that the superman with the strongest ability must not have the highest power.
Thus, each of them was either a very weak person or an ordinary person, and the position of the president of the association was a form of voting after proving their ability in the intellectual part.
The problem is that 5 out of 7 of them are dog trash and beggars.
I even decapitated two of them.
I still have no idea how I beat the EX rank hero back then.
Anyway, that’s it, and high-ranking people are not very good people in the future or now when they look at their past lives.
It was a moment when depending on who you meet, it will be a headache or an opportunity for your future steps.
“…Who is that?”
“…Kim Seong-yeon, president of the association.”
“Kim Seong-yeon, president of the association…?”
Whew. Good thing.
As soon as I heard the name, I let out a sigh of relief.
Director Kim Seong-yeon was the president of the association who cared about the citizens and heroes as much as possible when the war broke out.
Operations were also operations, residence, supply, distribution, etc… Was competent
The problem is that many opinions have been ignored due to the nature of the association, which is based on the majority rule.
Besides, I received a lot of support from below, so it was quite a thorn in the eye…
I don’t know if it was an accident or a murder, but he died early.
But why did he… ?
“Why? I have nothing to do with him.”
[That’s right… Han Soo-jung came to me and told me the news about you. That I woke up So I posted a report above… ]
“Did that come to the ears of the president of the association Kim Seong-yeon?”
[Yes. That is… after… What should I say about this? Because it’s a personal report… I told you not to do anything, but this is really… ]
“Okay. Hyung. What did the other presidents of the association not listen to?”
I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s enough that I don’t get involved with the other five bastards.
Those who drove countless talented people to death in vain while trying to raise their status for their own safety…
If you think about it, you might need to deal with them, but how easy is that?
Let’s keep the thoughts in our hearts.
“Let me know when the date is set. If I can catch it, the sooner the better.”
[Are you okay? You hated your superiors. That’s great too.]
“Well… it was. But what can I do? If we don’t meet, it’ll be a headache.”
[Ugh… okay. Sorry. I. I just said it… ]
“No. Why am I sorry, hyung? It won’t be a big deal.”
[…] Okay.]
It’s said that it’s a regression, but I’ve never seen a person change, so it’s probably okay.
But just in case, you should keep that in mind.
Because I said I’d have to see for myself what’s going to happen next.
After that, I ended the reunion phone call with Hoyeon-hyung while having a sad conversation.
“…Whoa… I said it would be better if it was faster…”
I didn’t expect it to be this fast.
After being discharged, an appointment was made for the next day.
Now I was standing in front of the door to the Kim Seong-yeon private association room.
