56 – Inferno Beckons 5

The Hero Association’s plan to stop the villains’ massive agitation.

When I heard about this, I couldn’t help but feel like I was automatically rotting inside.

‘f*ck.. No, what kind of situation is going so f*cking right? I had no intention of becoming a hero in the first place, but somehow things like this…’

I’ve unintentionally gotten caught up in this and that, but I didn’t have the mindset of a hero at all, and I didn’t want to become one.

The actions I have taken so far have only been for the safety of myself and those around me.

It was absolutely not because of anything like a sacrifice for the sake of everyone, or nobility as a hero.

The reason I attend this hero academy in the first place is half of the fact that I don’t want to show off my scary older sister’s eyes.

After graduating, the purpose was to use this as a specification to get a suitable job and lead a quiet life.

In the first place, as an adult, graduating from the academy, formally earning a hero license, and being active is completely individual freedom, even if people wonder about that route, there is no one to say anything about it openly. There was no

But…

At this moment, the case of this temporary hero qualification in front of me was different from that.

Unlike formal hero activities, which grant as much freedom as choosing a job after graduation,

According to Hana Lee, the policy that will be implemented from now on will have a similar nature to a class subject.

Select students above a certain level and semi-forcedly grant them hero status, and if they fail to achieve a certain level of achievement, they will be penalized for grades.

In other words, since it is practically a story about forcibly conscripting students from the academy, I was put in a situation where I had no choice but to endure by forcibly suppressing the desire to come out.

On the other hand, Lee Ha-na, who has no way to understand my inner thoughts that are being burned like that, said in one voice as if she was looking forward to something like that.

“Our faction leaders and other top academy students will be involved in this. Since he has a brilliant record during his career, he will be included in the target without any major problems.”

‘… Please, I hope there is a problem with that.”

I began to feel a slight throbbing feeling in my head as I swallowed my dissatisfaction that seemed to crawl out of my throat.

Then…

Looking at me like that, Hana said with a deep smile on her lips.

“And about this, as I just said, I want to hold hands with you. Of course, to be honest, as I said before, I just want you to be our leader, but…”

“Don’t talk about unnecessary things, so what? Holding that hand means… I want you to become a team with me in the ‘practice’ of eradicating the villains… is that what you mean?”

“Correct answer. It’s good that the story is fast.”

Somehow, while saying that, Lee Ha-na showed a very happy attitude.

Then she looked at me again and said with a dripping expression.

“As you know, the villains are vicious guys who don’t know when or how they will crawl in. If you’re going to deal with those guys, you’ll need a reliable ally, right? I will be that ally.”

“Umm..”

A story that makes you feel something grandiose…

However, in a way, it could be said that this story could actually be interpreted as ‘let’s do group assignments together’.

Although the group task is a scene of life-and-death battles, it can be considered heavy if you look at it seriously, but at the same time, you can interpret it lightly if you look lightly.

That’s how I was thinking about how to answer this question for a while.

“Huh… if you say that, do you think you are quite confident in your skills? It doesn’t look particularly strong.”

“Huh?”

The next moment, suddenly, with a voice that seemed quite twisted, a person started to come in.

At Minerva’s words, I began to feel a bit perplexed…

At the same time, Lee Ha-na slightly hardened her expression and said with a cold smile toward Minerva.

“Little girl? I’m sorry, but the adults are talking about something important right now. Will the children be quiet for a little while?”

“I’m sorry, but even if we look like this, we’re still members of senior Doyoung’s clique. It’s fundamentally different from a guy who suddenly drags a lot of subordinates like an ajumma and only talks about reliable colleagues or something.”

“Me too! I think so!”

Hana Lee’s attitude clearly shows that the blade is standing.

Regarding this, Minerva .. And while hiding behind her, Yuri, who is looking at her Hana with a ferocious expression like a cat showing her vigilance, sees her ferocious spirit as if she has met her lifelong nemesis. Started to radiate.

And… Watching this scene from the side,

I automatically looked at Minerva and thought in her mind.

‘Even if nothing else is put aside…At this point, Athena, looking at me, I think that she may not have a conscience when she says something about Auntie..’

A little exaggerated, Minerva who has an age that Lee Ha-na can call her aunt.

At this point, I smiled a little bitterly and began to watch the two women + one girl fighting in front of me in a slightly awkward mood.

*

“Did you say Minerva? Apparently, I’m still a rookie in the world, so they say they don’t know who I am..”

“I don’t know, but I know very well… Hana Lee. She is 18 years old. She is the leader of the 7th rank faction of Hero Academy and the cousin of Asura, the 3rd rank S-class. Her ability is the flame system, just like her family, right?”

“… “

Minerva, who recounts her own history, does not show the slightest hint of her hesitation or fear.

Regarding this, Lee Ha-na recognized that the little boy in front of her was more formidable than she thought, and she began to feel a different kind of wariness than before.

‘I thought he would just be a pretty kid, but… Isn’t this guy more normal than I thought?’

It was common for humans who recognized the power gap to naturally shrink.

However, at this moment, Minerva, who was in front of her, didn’t feel that way at all.

In the case of Yuri, who is hiding behind her and only sticks out her head, I could feel the emotion of ‘fear’ in her expression.

However, Minerva, who stood in her way, was staring at her one with a spirit as strong as steel.

She’s like… She doesn’t have to be afraid of herself, and if she ever pounces on her, she’ll step on her lightly.

This kind of appearance of her was quite uncomfortably acceptable from the point of view of the general ‘strong man’, and it was actually like that.

But…

“Huh.. Huh… Whoop!”

“… “

Looking at Minerva like that.

What came out of her mouth was not anger or threat, but a laugh filled with deep interest.

“He’s quite an interesting guy, isn’t he? I never thought he would have that much guts at his age… He’s a guy that even I rejected would be a clique mate.”

“… “

Looks like Minerva’s provocation… In fact, Lee Hana is accepting what could be called a threat simply as a young girl’s ambition.

In response to this, Minerva frowned slightly and tried to say something more, but before she could say her words, Hana changed her tone and spoke in a calm voice.

“Unfortunately, however, this world does not run on momentum alone. I like your spirit, but it’s clear that with your skills, which are no different from a fresh newcomer, you won’t even be chosen by the Hero Association, let alone Han Do-young’s teammate.”

“… “

From noble mtl dot com

Minerva starts to look a little strange at her words.

Regarding this, hereafter, after she smiled lightly, she stood up from her seat and looked at Han Do-young and said.

“You have time anyway, so think carefully. Keep in mind that if you hold hands with me, there will be many things to do.”

“….”

She left behind the words that she didn’t even need to deal with her, and she left without a trace.

And…

Watching her like this…

A bitter smile began to form on Minerva’s lips.

‘Unfortunately… The reality is harsh for a kid who doesn’t know the situation well.’
