Volume 5 – Silver Knight

Chapter 3

Early morning, Haneul washed his head, and ate a light breakfast while he browsed around on the web. As he was looking up articles regarding the last Earthquake, Haneul kept looking at his messenger with unrest.

This whole region received the summons, so surely there were many people at the location. It would be difficult to find Minah within the huge group, and there was no saying what Haneul was to do once he reached the location.

Haneul thought hard. He recalled the image of Minah’s sad face as they parted ways last time.

Haneul mustered up his courage.

He dropped a line on his messenger, and as soon as he did, a response came back.

– Your name came out in the 3rd batch of heroes cleaning up?

She was talking as if nothing happened, and Haneul shockingly talked to her normally without being surprised.

– Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow then!

Haneul finished his message with a smile on his face, then it suddenly became a straight face.

“If I write it like this, it looks like I like her.”

There’s no way.

Haneul was a virgin. To be exact, he was a virgin. He didn’t have any goals or any hope of making money in World A. Which is why meeting women and marrying was also out of the question. Haneul’s future was bleak, so there was no way he could have dated women. Then those thoughts slowly disappeared to the point where he started thinking, ‘Do I even need it’.

However, Haneul in World B was different.

He had talent and abilities.

Not only that, he was already working.

He was a Hero.

To say the least, the Haneul from this world was living a life filled with accomplishments.

‘Dating, and the future……’

They were strange things to be thinking about. Haneul gave them both up in World A, because of how unrealistic these thoughts were for him. Yet, in this world, all of it was attainable just by stretching his hand out.

The next day.

Because the promised time was near, Haneul was currently on the bus.

“We don’t go all the way to the 1st city. Only up to the urban area of the 2nd city.”

With these words, Haneul immediately got on the bus.

Haneul was already aware of how bad the situation was at the 1st city. He was at the scene not too long ago, and the only thing on the news these days was regarding the Earthquake.

Then, Haneul saw a familiar face getting on the bus.

It was a guy that was in the same class as him back in high school.

Haneul couldn’t recall his name. However, they kept a very proper friendship.

‘How vague.’

Because of that vague relationship, it was even harder for Haneul to decide on how to treat him.

Haneul wasn’t great at being social, so he pretended not to notice his ‘friend’. As Haneul was thinking this and turning his head away, he noticed that most of the people were getting off at the last stop,most adjacent to the 1st city.

Haneul’s’friend’ was also the same. As they were both looking around, Haneul and his ‘friend’ ended up making eye contact, but as if his ‘friend’ didn’t notice Haneul, he slowly got off the bus.

The guy didn’t even think for a little while. He stared at Haneul as if he didn’t know him.

‘What the?’

Did Haneul not see correctly?

There’s no way. Haneul had great memory.

Does that mean that in this world, they weren’t acquainted?

‘There’s definitely a possibility for that. He wasn’t just pretending right now.’

Suddenly, Haneul was able to hear the conversation between his ‘friend’ and the last person to get off the bus.

“So, how much are they paying us today?”

“If you calculate it, it comes to about $7 an hour. It’s probably the same as normal right?”

“Ugh, how stingy.”

There were many people walking while talking about today’s pay.

They were walking towards an area that was a complete disaster.

“Surely, these people aren’t ALL Heroes, right?”

Mumbled Haneul with a shocked expression. These people looked like normal students, aunts, and uncles that one could see walking down the street.

“Most Rank D Heroes are like that.”

Haneul turned his head.

Minah was currently wearing comfortable sportswear while walking towards Haneul.

“They look quite different from the Heroes that you’ve seen so far huh? There are less than 500 D Rank Heroes, but rather than fight monsters, most of them either clean up afterwards or are part of the rescue team.”

“So that’s how it was. I didn’t know that.”

“Usually, everyone knows this info…….Well, you’re kind of in a special situation right now. Since you flew over from a different world. One more thing to add, the students who are preparing to become Heroes but have yet to awaken yet, are put into the Rank D group as well to help out with these type of work.”

Minah calmly told Haneul, as if nothing happened. To put it simply, she acted the same as she always did.

‘Is she not mad anymore? Either way, let’s finish up with the work first and then tell her everything.’

There were Heroes that fought off monsters while risking their lives, and there were Heroes that helped out in the shadows.

Haneul thought this was just volunteer work, but after listening to what Minah said, he knew it wasn’t just that.

He was also able to confirm even more so, after he got to the location.

Every person used their own abilities to move debris over to one side, while the Army trucks were busy moving about.

Haneul was also busy pushing huge boulders and working hard. He knew if he turned into the Silver Knight, he would attract a lot of attention, so he was using his magic without transforming. Haneul had formidable amounts of magic within him, so his strength couldn’t be compared with a Rank D Hero’s.

“Sir, Hero! Can you please come over here!”

“Okay, I’ll be right there!”

As Haneul was running around helping others, he was able to see many different Rank B Heroes and was also able to confirm something.

The level of the Rank B Heroes.

‘There’s a huge gap between them and A Rank Heroes. Now I understand.’

Haneul wasn’t sure because there wasn’t much to compare in his first battle in Central South.

However, as he’s able to see the magic and skills being used by these Rank B Heroes now, things were a lot clearer now.

And Minah was definitely a Rank B Hero.

She wasn’t the type to use absurd amounts of strength, but was the shooter type that shot out light from the tips of her fingers.

“My skills are similar to the S Rank Hero Photon Shooter, but much weaker than him.”

Laughed Minah with an embarrassed face.

However, Minah’s power was very diverse and had many utilities. She would finely destroy huge buildings that couldn’t be moved, and Haneul would shovel those parts and push them to a corner.

“Who is that Hero? He’s super strong.”

People were shocked.

It’s been 3 hours since they’ve started working, yet Haneul wasn’t tired at all and was constantly pulling out magic and working.

Minah continued to control her magic and helpedHaneul from the side, but as it passed the 3 hour mark, Minah was now sweating and tired.

“Hoooo. Let’s rest as well.”

Said Haneul as he wiped away beads of sweat.

Chapter 3 – End.
