Volume 5 – Silver Knight

Chapter 2

*     *     *     *

‘This is a big problem. I didn’t receive any mail, nor was my name within the Heroes that were summoned.’

Haneul made a serious expression.

Externally, the summons for the clean-up crew were already sent out. However, for Heroes Rank A and above that fought in the battle, were exempt from showing.

This was a matter of course, but Haneul was going around telling people that he was a Rank B hero. It would be strange if he did not participate, seeing as how none of the reporters were able to show evidence that Haneul was at the scene.

Furthermore, Minah was already having doubts with the things Haneul had told her.

‘No, actually, what was the point in me hiding it from her? Isn’t it better for me if I was to tell Minah everything?’

Haneul thought hard, but he couldn’t find an answer. He just didn’t feel like telling Minah the truth. It could be because he was worried that Minah would be worried? If it wasn’t that, then it was probably because Haneul didn’t fully trust Minah yet.

Haneul felt confused.

It was because of the expression that he saw on Minah as they were parting ways.

It was the expression of someone who looked like they were hurting. As if the other party already knew that Haneul was lying to them.

Haneul felt that he wouldn’t feel comfortable until he apologized to Minah.

“Whatever happens, let’s just tell her everything.”

If Haneul was to show up at the summons without a word, someone might say ‘Mr. Silver Knight, you’re a Rank A hero that already fought in the last battle. You don’t need to be here.’ So, out of worry, Haneul tried calling the Organization’s HR Director, YooShik Kim.

“Hello.”

<I’m shocked to see that you would call me first. Silver Knight.>

“Do you think I’m happy to be calling another guy right now? I just had something to say to you.”

<Okay, tell me what you need.>

“Can I bother you to help me with something?”

<Sure, anything’s fine.>

“Can you let me join the clean-up crew for the 1st city of the East area?”

<The clean-up crew? That’s not too hard to do, but can I ask what the reason is?>

Haneul truthfully told his situation to YooShik.

YooShik seriously listened to Haneul’s situation thinking it would be a huge ordeal, but as YooShik later found out that it was just for personal reasons, he chuckled.

‘Hmm, what an interesting person.’

“Alright. I will do that then. You don’t have to be too worried because we don’t publish the heroes list internally. Which means a Heroes ranking won’t leak out easily. Normally, Heroes aren’t allowed to share their own rankings. However, it’s hard to block such an act which is why the world knows which Heroes are ranked what. A Hero will voluntarily share that information with the civilians, so there’s no reason for our Organization to do such a thing.”

<That’s great to hear then.>

Haneul from the start, was an out of the ordinary figure. He was established as a Rank A hero not long ago, yet was immediately put to the test. Against the thoughts of the media, the one to place Haneul at that rank was YooShik.

Who would’ve known that an Earthquake would happen the same day Haneul registered as an official Hero.

YooShik is the HR Director, and the amount of Heroes that he needed to take care of were over the 100’s number. Of course, he didn’t know of Haneul’s situation until the Earthquake was finished.

That’s why YooShik didn’t hear of the details until the end of the battle.

So, in the 1st batch of Heroes that were sent out to restore the city, YooShik sent one message out to the civilians that were at the shelter.

And that message was regarding the Hero in Silver.

‘Silver Knight.’

The civilians weren’t mistaken, and Silver Knight was checked off as responding to the summons. He was a Rank A hero, but he was still a noob, how reckless.

Yooshik knew of his mistake, yet couldn’t contain his astonishment.

– BAHAHAHA, Silver Knight, he had a lot of ambition and was an excellent hero!! Yes, all Heroes should have that aspect with them!

Stated Burning Soul.

Also, the hot reaction from the press.

Everything was circulating with Silver Knight as the center.

“There’s no denying that he will become a star in the Organization. His skills will slowly grow and one day blossom into a beautiful flower. If that happens, his name will be known transnational, no, it’s more like it will be known to the whole world.”

Haneul had a lot of potential!

The potential to become a Rank S hero. And, if that was to happen, the one to realize his potential (YooShik) would also be able to grow.

‘That’s not the only thing. I feel like there’s still more to him than that.’

YooShik was still unsure as to what that was. However, there has never been a time when his gut feeling was wrong.

YooShik gave out instructions.

It was to add Silver Knight to the list of names going out on the clean-up session tomorrow night.

*     *     *     *

Silver Knight.

His name was updated.

“Finally.”

Now that Haneul’s name was showing up withtomorrow’s clean-up crew, it was time for him to apologize to Minah. Although it wasn’t his intentions to lie to her, it was true that Haneul had hurt Minah’s feelings.

‘My head hurts. This is why I said let’s break up.’

But, what was it that Minah said.

Didn’t she exclaim that she would make Haneul change his mind, no matter what?

Either way, there’s no denying that half of Minah’s rant actually worked, seeing as how confused Haneul’s heart was because of her.

Chapter 2 – End.
