207 Academy

Without the invitation from the Hero League, Heero was planning to train more people in his academy.

After the battle against the specters, he realized that the Hero League was far weaker than he thought to be. He was overestimating their capability all this time.

Even a group of low-ranked specters smashed the Hero League with ease. Most of the Gold Class Hero was nonsense. They were just too weak, struggling hard while facing the Level 5 Specter.

He could not imagine what if a bunch of high-ranked specters attacked the city. He was certain it would be a one-sided slaughter.

Now the Hero League offered to be Supreme Sun along with the great benefits. It was said that the Supreme Sun was a special position. No regulations or law shackled the Supreme Sun. It was not exaggerated to say that you could do everything you wanted to.

Of course, there was another reason why he wanted to accept the Supreme Sun position.

If he held the Supreme Guardian position, the arrogant and overbearing bastards from the core region would not dare to offend him anymore.

But then, after reading all the list of the benefits he would receive as the Supreme Sun. There was one list that was fishy, the No.9 benefit, Bai Xin Yue.

The girl put herself in the benefit list. He somehow guessed the meaning behind this benefit, but just in case he guessed wrong, he asked out.

He stared at the woman. There were two things he did not understand about this woman. When she was with him or the others from the district, she often smiled and was kind to everyone.

However, outside of his district or in front of the stranger, Bai Xin Yue would put a cold and aloof expression. Of course, it was not that he disliked her character, he was just curious why she did so?

When Bai Xin Yue heard the question, her face flushed red in embarrassment. When her eyes met with Heero's eyes, her cheek flushed redder.

'Woah, she can make this kind of expression too…' This was the first time Heero saw Bai Xin Yue made this kind of expression.

"Just like what is listed there…" Bai Xin Yue replied in a low voice.

"It says your name, does that mean…" Heero stared at the girl as his eyes enlarged in a shock. He was not expecting the girl would do this.

'Does she really love me?'

Bai Xin Yue closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She tried to calm her embarrassment.

'Come on, Xin Yue! You can do it!'

Slowly, she exhaled a long breath and looked at Heero in the eyes. After doing that, she was less embarrassed and confessed with her face flushed red, "Yes, I love you! I need you!"

"Wait… wait... I already have two wives! Also…"

Heero could not finish his words as Bai Xin Yue cut in in a firm tone, "I know! But it doesn't matter! I don't mind being the third or even the fourth!"

"But what about my wives…" Heero stopped midway as he realized his wording was wrong.

If he rephrased like that, it meant he accepted the girl's confession and currently worried about his wives. He had a favorable impression of the girl after a few months of interactions but he never thought about her that way. He also felt it was too early for his third wife.

Suddenly, Bai Xin Yue smiled mysteriously as she stared at Heero who fell silent.

"Huhu… If it's about Sister Han Ying and Sister Hong Yu, I have talked to them and they agreed!"

"What?" Heero could not imagine that his two wives would agree.

"They said, it's just a matter of time before you have to pick your third and fourth wife! So, rather than letting the Central Government choose random women for you, they…"

Bai Xin Yue did not finish her words as she lowered her head in embarrassment. She was so embarrassed to continue her words.

Heero let out a sigh and slumped back to his seat. He believed Bai Xin Yue's words as he knew his wives well. His wives were typically law-abiding citizens, they abided by all regulations set by the Central Government.

Especially the thing about four wives for mankind. They supported him to take more wives with him. Not only they agreed, but both sisters also encouraged him to do so.

Looking at Heero's helpless expression, Bai Xin Yue's smile crumbled.

"You don't like me? Am I not beautiful enough for you?" She asked with a disheartened tone. Her flushed red cheek turned a bit pale.

She did not know why, but she felt her chest suffocated, hurt, sad, all of that mixed. Her heart was in a mess. This was the first time for her.

Hearing those words, Heero looked up. Seeing the crestfallen look on the girl's face, he knew the girl misunderstood him.

"Mnnn… I don't mean that. You are certainly beautiful. If there's a guy who says you are ugly, that guy must be blind!" Heero blurted in panic.

He noticed the girl was about crying as tears swelled up in her eyes.

"But…" He stopped halfway as he thought of something.

It was a lie if he was not interested in Bai Xin Yue. Not only she looked exceptional, but she also had a temperament. He was a hypocrite if he said he was not interested in her. It was men's nature to love beauty after all.

However, a good look was not the main factor for him to choose a wife. The mutual feeling between them and also trust between them.

Even though he had a favorable impression of the girl, he did not trust the girl had a feeling for him.

From the first time they met, Bai Xin Yue approached him with hidden intentions. She wanted something from him.

"Hmm… Let's talk about this later… Kuhum… Kuhum…" Heero decided to avoid this topic first. He also needed to talk with her wives if what Bai Xin Yue said was true.

"Supreme Guardian, I will accept this position with a condition! I will only protect the north of Star City! I will only protect this place if the dangers invade the city!"

As soon as Heero said this out, the bashful look on Bai Xin Yue's face disappeared. When it came to working, she turned into a serious mode.

She frowned, she could not accept the condition. It was the Supreme Guardian's duty to protect the whole city, not just part of the city.

"But why? The core of Star City is the core region, the most important region! If the core region falls, the order will also fall!"

She asked out while thinking hard why did Heero propose this condition?

'Does he resent the people in the core region that much?'

'No, he's not that petty. He must have his reasons, but what is it?'

"For you, the core region is the most important place. But for me, this place is the most important place in this city!" Heero answered bluntly.

He lost his loved one once, he did not want the same thing repeated. The memories and the pain of losing them were still fresh in his mind. If dangers or the Specters tried to attack the city once again, he would prioritize the Xing District over the whole city.

He knew that he was contradicting himself. Not wanting to leave his people but he also wanted to protect the people. He could not do both at the same time, but he had a solution over this matter.

His disciples, he could train more disciples and they would replace him to protect the other people or even the city.

'Ah, I see… that's the reason…'

'I am envious of Hong Yu and Han Ying… They are so lucky to have such a man as their husband!'

'No, he hasn't rejected me yet… You still have a chance, Xin Yue!'

"I can't make the decision!" Bai Xin Yue shook her head. But she knew the answer, it could not be negotiated.

"Mnn, if the Hero League can't accept the condition, then I am willing to be a Hero Instructor too!"

'You, the heroes, are quite worrying, but I will share a bit of knowledge with them. At least, I don't want the same thing repeated such as the specters slipped into the city, '

Bai Xin Yue's eyes brightened up. Since the beginning, she and her grandfather wanted to recruit him, but the guy refused.

'The Hero League can be saved!' Bai Xin Yue was cheered deep inside while maintaining her composure.

"Yes. I will immediately discuss this with the executives!"

She was so excited as she wanted to go back immediately. Bai Xin Yue turned around, but she stopped her steps as Heero called her out.

"Wait! Where are you going?"

"Ah, i-is there anything you still want to talk about?" Pleasantly surprised, she stuttered a little as she asked.

'Does he want to talk about us now?'

"Yes! The recruitment, how many registered? The academy will open soon, we have to start with the interview!"

Yes, he was talking about the Heero Academy that soon would start to open for the public. It had been more than a week since the attack. It was time to open the academy.

After seeing how worse the heroes' qualities were, he planned to accept more disciples than the quota he had set.

He was worried that his academy would not have enough disciples to recruit. After all, his academy was located in the outer region.

If he did not have enough disciples, he needed to advertise his academy on the Star Forum.

Bai Xin Yue was disheartened when she heard that. They were not going to talk about their future, but the academy.

But she immediately cheered up when she remembered the number of the people who registered to join the Heero Academy.

"There are 1,281 people registered to join our academy. 741 registrants are below 12 years old while the rest are above 12 with 20 being the oldest one amongst the registrants!"

"If you don't limit the age, there would be over 3000 people!" Bai Xin Yue reported happily. She was quite happy as their effort in the Fighter Anteriority bore the fruits.
