Chapter 23

*     *     *     *

Haneul and JoonYoung spoke with each other until daybreak.

They were reminiscing about the past, about a world that did not have Heroes or monsters. Forgetting everything, the two spoke to each other loudly and with lots of laughter.

Although Haneul did not like drinking, he was very happy to be drinking together with JoonYoung.

As the night was slowly turning into morning, the two got up off their seats.

They then stood still and stared at each other underneath the pallid sky.

“I’ll see you next time.”

“Okay.”

There was nothing more to say.

They were no longer alone in this world.

Haneul fell asleep in a sauna, and after spending about half the day sleeping, he began to walk towards the Hero Organization.

“Yes. I’ll go to the Organization right now.”

After speaking with YooShik on the phone, Haneul began walking towards his destination.

Since, they were giving him money to take some tests, there was no reason for him not to go. As soon as he entered the entrance to the building, several people in the lobby were busily bustling about.

In order to go in further, certain procedures needed to be done.

The receptionist looked at Haneul and gave a slight bow.

“I can help you. For what reason have you come today?”

“I had an appointment with YooShik, the chief of the personnel department.”

“Please wait a moment.”

After speaking so, the receptionist checked the computer to confirm the appointment. Her eyes grew wide with surprise.

The person who was set to meet with YooShik today was the Hero, Silver Knight.

“Are you perhaps Silver Knight…….?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The receptionist made a surprised face.

It was very normal to meet many kinds of Heroes while working at Headquarters. However, the mysterious Hero that no one knew of, Silver Knight, was standing in front of her without any armor on. This was the side that many civilians had wanted to see.

“Is there a problem?”

“Ah, no, there isn’t. I apologize. Do you perhaps have a Hero identification card?”

“I do.”

Haneul showed the Hero identification card that he had received through the mail.

“Heroes just need to scan their ID’s in order to go in.”

He didn’t know.

Haneul didn’t have many reasons to come to Headquarters.

As soon as the receptionist placed the card near the scanner, a beeping sound could be heard and the door was opened.

“That person said he’s Silver Knight.”

“He’s much more normal than I thought?”

“What do you mean normal!? Did you not see his eyes? It was no joke!”

The sound of the two receptionists talking could be heard very clearly. Although they looked as if they were whispering to each other, to Haneul, it was the same as them speaking right into his ear.

‘Are my ears able to hear better?’

It wasn’t really a good feeling, since he could hear things he didn’t want to hear.

At that moment, the sounds of whispering could not be heard.

It was as if the volume was suddenly lowered. As soon as Haneul decided that he wanted to control his hearing, it automatically happened. It was so perfect, that it even surprised himself.

‘It’s not just a feeling. I’m definitely changing, little by little. Slowly becoming stronger.’

Haneul just had this feeling.
