222 Third Dungeon

Two months later

Hyak! Hyak! Hyak!

Right at 8 a.m. Heero was sitting on a rocking chair while a series of kids' voices echoed through the martial hall.

It had been two months after the specter attack incident. And in the last two months, Heero had been training a bunch of people. Including the kindergarten kids who went to his wife's kindergarten.

Yes, dozens of kids in front of him were a kindergarten child that wanted to be a hero.

It happened about one and a half months ago. His daughter, Miao Miao along with Myung-Hee and Lan Lan brought the other kids to him and said they wanted to be a hero as well.

They asked him to train them just like he trained his other disciples. Since then, the kids always came here at 7 a.m. and did their daily routine training.

There was no way Heero would let them wear training circlet and run along with his disciples hence he taught them a set of moves that were supposed to be for self-defense.

He thought the kids would give up within a few days or a week of training. Surprisingly, the kids were so persistent and doing this for one and a half months already.

Relaxing on his rock chair, Heero's gaze never left his cute daughter, Miao Miao. There were two other cute little girls, Myung-Hee and Lan Lan.

Those three stood in the foremost line while delivering punch after punch forward. Sweats covered their babyfaces, but the look of seriousness that etched on their faces made them look even adorable.

His life in the past two months had been satisfying, calming, and peaceful. It was proven status was needed in order to have a peaceful life in this city.

No one troubled him since he accepted his new job, the Chief Hero Instructor. The gadflies who came daily and wanted to buy his whole district no longer came.

Not only that, his home, but the Xing District also had grown bigger. Everything went well and he was satisfied with this kind of life.

After a moment, he got up from the chair. He walked to the kids with a big smile on his face.

Clap!

After a clap of his hand, Heero instructed the kids, "All right, kids! It's time to rest! You have 15 minutes rest before we continue with a stance!"

With his instructions, the kids stopped their training. Instead of resting, the kids corrected their line. They stood in a proper line, with a great discipline at that.

The kids stood straight while facing their leader, Miao Miao. Yes, Heero did not know how, but Miao Miao managed to make the kids comply with her.

"Good! You are doing a good job and you can rest now!" Miao Miao praised the other kids with a proud expression on her face. It was like a mother who was proud of her children.

With her instruction, the kids relaxed their shoulders and immediately laid down on the floor with all four. They closed their eyes and stabled their ragged breath.

It was something he taught to his daughter and she taught it to the other kids. Somehow, the kids would rather listen to her daughter than him.

Heero shook his head with an amused smile. His days were so fulfilling by just watching the kids.

After that, he went back to his rock chair and closed his eyes. He too had his rest on his chair.

But his rest lasted only five minutes before a little tigress pounced toward him while sending a punch on his belly.

Hiya!

"Kohokhok…" Heero let out a series of coughs, pretending he was in pain. He curled his body up with his hand on his belly.

"Oh, my little fairy, what are you doing? It hurts!"

"Hihihihi…" Miao Miao let out a chuckle. She ignored her daddy and hopped down the chair.

She faced the kid with a contented look and declared, "Did you see that? I told you the training is not pointless! I can hurt my daddy now!"

The other kids looked at Miao Miao with admiration. This was not the first time Miao Miao did this, but this was the first time Heero was hurt from her punch.

After Miao Miao's declaration, the kids broke into a murmur. Most of them were amazed by Miao Miao's feat and became even more determined in the training.

"I am going to try my fist against my dad later…"

"I am going to try it with my brother, he's bullying me, now it's time for the payback!"

"I am going to try harder…"

"What about if we test our fist against the fatty from the security house?"

"Ah, it's a good idea. That fatty is a good sandbag…"

"Teacher Xing! Let's continue with the next training!"

"Yeah, let's continue, Teacher Xing!"

The kids became even more enthusiastic with the 'proof' of their training being shown to them. With that, the kids took the initiative to continue the training by themselves.

Meanwhile, Heero was left speechless by his daughter. She was being proud of 'hurting' his daddy.

'This is not right… This is not right… But…'

Looking at how happy Miao Miao was, Heero decided to play along. He clutched his belly, still pretending in pain.

Only then Miao Miao noticed her Daddy was still in pain. She rushed over and asked worriedly, "Are you okay, Daddy?"

"I-i am not o-okay," Heero pretended to be badly hurt.

Only then, Miao Miao put a worried expression and a little bit panicked, "Did I hit you too hard? What should I do now!? What should I do? Mommy will scold me if she knows…"

"A-actually you have a cure on you…"

"Really? Really?? How???" Miao Miao asked excitedly.

"T-three kisses. Left cheek, nose, and right cheek! Three kisses from a little fairy will heal Daddy,"

As soon as Heero finished his words, the little girl hopped onto him and kissed his face. Each kiss lasted three seconds.

"I am healed! My little fairy is surely amazing!" Heero immediately stood from his chair while raising Miao Miao up to the air.

After a while, Heero put her daughter down. But then, the other two little girls rushed over and delivered their fist toward his belly.

Heero was caught off guard hence he stayed still. He was not expecting this to come and too late to pretend in pain.

"Hihihihi…"

Meanwhile, Miao Miao was laughing on the other side. She tapped her friend's shoulder twice and said smugly, "Train harder, hard work will not betray you~"

After saying a piece of wise advice, Miao Miao rushed over to the other kids to join the training. As for Myung-Hee and Lan Lan, the two followed Miao Miao dejectedly.

They looked dejected but they were not discouraged. The two little girls looked even more determined in their training.

Just like that, the kids continued the training until 8.30 a.m., until their teacher, Hong Yu came to their martial hall.

"All right kids, the exercise is over. Get changed, it's time for the class!"

With Hong Yu's words, the kids swarmed to the changing room. They washed their bodies and changed their martial clothes to their uniform and went to kindergarten.

After making sure all the kids left the martial hall, Hong Yu kissed Heero's cheek and went after the kids.

Heero stood from the chair and stretched his body lazily. He looked at his smartwatch and muttered, "It's about time for them to get back!"

'Them' in Heero's mouth was the first-generation disciple of the Heero Academy. It was about time for them to get back from their running exercise.

After two months of training, surprisingly, none of them quit the academy. They persisted with the extremely exhausted and static training he gave them.

'It's time to give them a little excitement, '

Just as he thought about the event he would hold for his disciples, the martial hall's door opened. It was certain it was not his disciples who came back as no steps could be heard.

Heero turned around, Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata entered the martial hall. Both seemed to be in a rush.

"Master we have the information you want! A dungeon was found, the third dungeon was found in the east!" Sun Zhou Yi shouted from afar.

Sun Zhou Yi's words piqued his interest. He asked his two disciples to inform him if a dungeon was found as he had some interest in the dungeon.

Each of the dungeons had a similar environment to Dramonia. He wanted to know more about the dungeon and investigation was a must.

"Elaborate me more, "

Sun Zhou Yi shook his head, "It's a newly found dungeon. I don't know much about it, "

"The information said it has a friendly environment compared to the second dungeon. And no beast could be found in a hundred meters perimeter around the gate! I, Zhou Yi, and the other five Emperor Class Heroes would be sent to investigate the third dungeon!" Hisashi Hirata added.
