It was Monday morning.

The time when everyone was bustling to get to work.

The roads were jammed with cars, and subways and buses were packed with people.

I was blankly staring outside as I was riding in a taxi to work.

There's a unique system in the Korea Hero Academy where you can work for an association or a guild during the school vacation.

Once school ends, you have to go to work.

What a terrible school system indeed.

After getting through the heavily congested traffic, I could see the building where I would be starting my work from today.

The building had a peculiar design.

It was like two round-shaped buildings swirling into one. It seemed to have only 5 floors, but due to a spatial magic cast on the inside, it was much bigger than it appeared.

Weve arrived.

Thank you.

As I got off the taxi, I felt eyes on me from every direction. Not just because I'm exceptionally handsome

Is that him? The rookie we need to recruit this time?

I heard the Sun and Meteor guild masters even fought over him.

Those stares from all around.

Indeed, as the school event progressed, I became a hot topic among the heroes.

I got so many texts on my original phone that I had to buy another one.

Look at his stride. Such balance!

More than that, look at the physique under those clothes. He's so well-built. Makes most muscular types seem like nothing.

I quickly headed inside. There was a receptionist, Kim Seohyun, and Park Woonhyuk.

Lee Seoha...!

Seoha, you arrived right on time.

Park Woonhyuk looked guarded, while Kim Seohyun greeted me with a broad smile.

Heh, so you came here as well.nove(l)bi(n.)com

Yeah, but you guys arrived early?

Yep. I was the first one here.

I looked at both Park Woonhyuk and Kim Seohyun.

Park Woonhyuk wore black slacks and a white short-sleeved shirt like me. Kim Seohyun wore black jeans with a blue shirt.

Suddenly, I sensed someone approaching. Turning my head, I saw a man in a black suit, looking quite pleasant, approaching with firm steps.

Hello. Starting from today, I'll be guiding all of you. My name is Lee Seongchan. Nice to meet you.

Lee Seongchan then looked at me. I felt his gaze deep within.

Then, his expression slightly twitched, almost imperceptibly.

Indeed, top-tier students from the Korea Hero Academy stand out.

In terms of talent, Lee Seongchan is exceptional. To the extent that the Sorcerer of Heavenly Vision would want him as a disciple.

Shall we start the tour? The first floor is for our guests. It showcases the treasures the Celestial guild has obtained from dungeons and displays our achievements.

After that, Lee Seongchan provided a brief overview of the guild building.

The second basement is a training ground, and various magic is applied so that even if you spar, you only get minor damages.

The first basement is said to be a warehouse where you store the loot you get from hunting monsters.

"Yeah. Normally, we wouldn't need to, but lately, the movement of those 'Mines' bastards is concerning. Same goes for the villains."

With that, Tak Yoonil led us outside.

I was disappointed.

I hoped there might be some downtime in the game, but there wasn't.

It felt like I had entered a notorious company with little to no break time.

The patrol was uneventful.

The only incident was when Kim Seohyun's face was exposed, and his fans requested his autograph.

"Shall we have a quick meeting?"

"A meeting?"

"Yes. A meeting to discuss the dungeon raid."

"... But we're just interns?"

Park Woonhyuk spoke with a bewildered expression.

Even if they were interns, they wouldn't really partake in dungeons or monster hunting. Their internship was about familiarizing themselves with the seniors, learning their secrets, and how to deal with villains or Mines when encountered.

"I get it. If a dungeon raid goes wrong, the student interns could be in danger. But you don't have to worry. The elites of the Celestial Guild will ensure your safety."

"... So we're really doing it."

Park Woonhyuk said with a heavy face.

"Yes. In reality, we don't have to. Because we can also nurture those who aren't our people."

Tak Yoonil spoke while looking at Park Woonhyuk.

"Moreover, dungeon raids are very dangerous. You never know what traps might spring, and you're always exposed to the threat of monsters. While the students of Korea Hero Academy are exceptional, dungeon raiding is a different ball game."

Tak Yoonil added.

"Still, we're doing this because of the will of the great hero."

"..."

"When the boundaries of dimensions collapsed, and entities tainted with 'evil' invaded Earth, empowered villains rampaged, and the Mines disrupted order. Amidst the ashes of the ruined world, a lone figure established order, creating beings called 'heroes', and led them. We do this because of the words left behind by this entity."

The greatest hero in human history.

A being revered by all heroes.

"It was an era where human value was lesser than food. This beacon of hope for humanity ended all chaos, bringing forth peace. He wished to provide equal opportunities for all heroes."

Thus, the Korea Hero Academy was established.

"Even after that, he worked hard for peace. He took many disciples, founded guilds. Also, he established associations to prevent guilds from running amok and government interventions. Now, only the Celestial Guild continues his legacy."

The ideals are commendable.

But reality is harsh.

"Other guilds don't because it's convenient and if a student dies, it's a huge issue."

Students who come for internships are the future of heroes. In a peaceful era, there aren't many foolish enough to squander the future's resources.

Of course, this is for a very short period.

As they transition to the mid-term and when Chilak directly intervenes, students are literally 'sacrificed'.

"So, the day after tomorrow, we will have a meeting to discuss the dungeon raid."

Tak Yoonil grinned and looked at us.

I was worried...

enjoy! :)

hmm i wonder how this will go
