Chapter 570 – Chapter 570 Hero Academy (5)
‘Wow, the name doesn’t come up even once.’
It wasn’t exactly what I was expecting.
Because my face and name are known a lot in the first place, there is nothing good about me.
However, on the other hand, there was no doubt about what it was like to be treated as a hero.
Sung Su-ah’s name was listed in countless numbers and flowed out to the extent that it was inserted into every subtitle and remark on TV.
Not only in the news, but also in various discussions and entertainment shows.
‘It’s a relief that her face is private.’
Fortunately, Sung Soo-ah’s face did not appear on TV.
It reminded me of the fact that just uploading pictures of heroes on the Internet is a serious crime to the point of being punished.
‘When going out on a date, only the hero officials need to be careful.’
While thinking so, I put on the smart watch in my room and started checking the messages.
And the message….
“Her… Why did you come so many times?”
In addition to messages, a huge number of missed calls were popped up as alarms.
And the owners of countless missed calls and messages….
〈 Cho Seohyun: Why can’t I contact you? Are you feeling unwell? 〉
〈 Seongsuah: I can’t answer the phone, so I’m sending a message. You weren’t hurt yesterday, right?〉
Most of them were Cho Seo-hyun and Seong Soo-ah.
This was to some extent expected.
In the case of Seong-soo-ah, she had her first sex yesterday.
It was a situation where both would want to talk to me.
‘Should I send a simple reply at least…. Huh? What?’
However, a text message from an unexpected person caught my eye.
〈 Principal: After lunch, please visit the principal’s office.〉
..
..
I first contacted Cho Seo-hyun and apologized briefly, then made an excuse.
I went out the day before because of circumstances, and I was busy so I couldn’t contact you.
I wanted to explain everything that happened yesterday, but I immediately gave up on that idea.
‘My name didn’t even appear in the press. I don’t think there’s any need to worry about it by saying it with my own mouth.’
Above all, the media is promoting Seong Soo-ah like a saint from heaven.
I don’t have to tell Cho Seohyun that she was with Seongsuah.
Then what about Sung Soo-ah?
It was a situation where we simply made contact.
Literally.
Compared to Seohyeon Cho, it could have seemed colder, but there were circumstances.
‘Ah, he’s over there.’
It was because she, like me, had been summoned to the principal’s office anyway.
As soon as I ate lunch, I headed straight to the principal’s office and met a woman standing in front of the principal’s office.
“Oh, Instructor Seong Soo-ho.”
She was a holy child.
It was also beautifully decorated….
“Sorry for the late contact. As soon as I went to the dorm yesterday, I fell asleep….”
“Huh, it’s okay. If you’re tired, you can. Rather….”
Seong Soo-ah came up to me with her pretty face, and she whispered.
“You must have been really tired yesterday, sorry for making you tired.”
Haha….”
At my awkward laugh, Seong Soo-ah blushed on her face and began to smile at her.
As I looked at Seongsuah and her smiling like that, a woman’s grumble came through her communication.
[It’s not true….]
‘….’
[Oh, sorry. Unbeknownst to me, my inner thoughts came out. Keep doing what you’re doing.]
Are you telling me to laugh louder than I used to laugh? Like Joker?
I skipped Kang Han-na’s grumbling and talked with Seong-soo-ah.
“By the way, did you wait here without going in first?”
“Yes. Now let’s go in together.”
Like that, I knocked on the door to the principal’s office with Sung Soo-ah.
As soon as I knocked on the door, I heard a thick male voice from inside.
(Come on in.)
Entering the principal’s office….
“Sorry for calling you on the weekend.”
The gigantic principal, who seems to be in the mid-180’s, and….
“I was worried, but the gods are clear.”
Yeriel was sitting on the sofa with a faint smile as she looked at us.
The voice of Kang Han Na, who seemed embarrassed by the appearance of Yeriel, was heard over the communication.
[You mean that child is the head of the tower?]
‘Yes. It looks like a child, but it seems to be quite old.’
[Hmm… Could that kid be the target too?]
‘….’
No, what do you see people as….
When I heard my strong communication and put on a puzzled expression, Yeriel, who was in her principal’s office, tilted her head and opened her mouth.
“Oh? Could it be that you don’t like me?”
“Oh, no. I was taken aback because there was an unexpected person.”
After hearing my words, Yeriel relaxed and smiled.
“Two people, don’t stand there, come and sit here. I called because I have something to tell you.”
Seong Soo-ah and I sat side by side on the sofa and waited for their words.
And it was none other than the principal who spoke first.
“I heard Instructor Seong Soo-ah’s performance well. Thank you very much for your hard work.”
“No.”
After that, the principal led the conversation by praising Sung Soo-ah.
The principal’s praise was not much different from the ones from the media.
However, it was slightly different that the subject of praise was focused on the consulate.
“If you were serving as an instructor, you might have avoided it, but thank you so much for stepping up. Thanks to this, we were able to regain the prestige of the consulate that had recently been lost.”
“Hey, I was just doing my job.”
Haha! I hope other people see and learn from this. What… I’m not in a position to tell others either.”
Haha….”
The headmaster’s praise for Sung Soo-ah, which seemed unlikely to end like that, was finished by one person.
It was Yeriel.
“No matter how many compliments you give, in the end there are only words left. Please do something later.”
Haha! He is a much better friend than I was in my prime, so I wonder if he can do something for me.”
“Aren’t you underestimating yourself too much? Who here doesn’t know about the principal’s past?”
Haha… It used to be. Previous….”
I don’t know what the principal was like….
Judging from Yeriel’s words and Seong Soo-ah’s expression, it seems that the principal was pretty good in his active years.
‘Well, that’s the kind of person he is, so he’s probably given the position of principal in a place like this.’
No matter how much the headmaster used her honorifics for Yeriel, it was true that she was no small in age.
He was so big that he looked like he was in his mid-40s, but in reality he was more like an old man in his 50s.
‘If the top was shaved and the beard was a bit longer, it would have looked like a perfect barbarian. Oh, a little taller….’
While I was thinking to myself, the two finished the conversation and started focusing on us again.
It was me this time.
No one, including the press, paid attention to the Erica raid.
As if it had nothing to do with me.
But for the first time, I had someone who was interested in connecting me to the incident.
“Then let’s get down to business….”
Yeriel lifted her little body up and opened her mouth gracefully as she bowed her head at me.
“Instructor Seong Su-ho. On behalf of TOP and Erica, I would like to say thank you very much. Thank you very much.”
“You don’t have to bow your head like that….”
“What you helped me was noble enough to make me bow. Thank you again.”
Yeriel lifted her little face back and sat calmly on her couch.
In such a state, he continued the story with a small smile.
“I’ll explain why I called you two here today.”
They basically say honorifics to me, but maybe it was because Seongsuah was included, so it seemed like they were going to proceed casually.
First of all, I started talking about what happened yesterday.
“First of all, most of the terrorists were caught. Erica is also responding quickly.”
It was something that had already been reported in the media.
However, what Yeriel said contained more details than the press.
The number of terrorists captured, the size and compensation of victims, and the restoration of the building….
But unfortunately, I couldn’t find out what I was curious about.
“Unfortunately, we couldn’t catch the guys who were commanding the group. It seems that he knew that the escape route was blocked and escaped by another route….”
After hearing Yeriel’s words, I could think of a woman.
She was raped by me, and even a woman who had written a crazy rampage on me.
‘Moonjuah… She puts on that freakish wall, and she seems to have escaped well.’

=====
I started to wonder what kind of expression he would make when he faced him later.
After Yeriel explained everything to us, she started to explain her real reason for calling.
Yeriel looked at me and asked with a relaxed expression.
“Have you seen the news today?”
“Yes. It was full of stories about the events of that day.”
“Whoops… It’s something I’m involved in, but I talk about it like it’s someone else’s business.”
“Sorry. It’s not like that… I wasn’t interested anyway.”
My name never appeared on the news.
I just thought it was because I wasn’t a hero.
But no.
“It’s not that I’m not interested.”
“… Yes?”
“No one knows your name, so you can’t pay attention.”
I wondered what it was.
Isn’t it just not paying attention because he’s not a hero?
Yeriel cleared my doubts.
“Evryca headquarters, the tower, and myself personally hid your identity. No, I did it because it wasn’t there.”
“… Yes?”
I wasn’t the only one who expressed my doubts.
“Yeriel… Why did you do that….”
Seong Soo-ah was also asking on behalf of me with a puzzled look on her face.
I didn’t quite understand.
Why would you do that?
Yeriel, who saw Seongsu-a and me’s flustered expressions, rather smiled and opened her mouth.
“Does Instructor Seong Su-ho want to become famous?”
“… Yes?”
I wondered what this was again.
It sounds like a comment that comes out when casting on the street?
At my question, Yariel smiled and then proceeded with the story.
“When the media talks about Instructor Seong Su-ho… It will definitely get a lot of attention. Numerous guilds will present huge conditions and run with their eyes open to recruit Instructor Seong Su-ho.”
“Isn’t that nice?”
It was Seong Soo-ah, not me, who interrupted Yeriel and asked her question.
I could roughly guess the reason why she came out like this, not me who was the party to her.
Sung-soo Ah and I are no longer just colleagues who know her face.
It was between skin to skin, feeling the body temperature, and sharing experiences of lovers.
From her point of view, I would like to wish her well at all.
Conversely, it was the same for me.
When Yeriel heard Seongsuah’s pulpit-like question, she smiled softly and answered.
“Yes, it would be nice if it was popular.”
“Then why did you stop….”
“It’s only a moment after all.”
“… Yes?”
Seeing Sung Soo-ah’s puzzled expression, Yeriel smiled and said to her.
“Sua. I don’t know because you graduated from the consulate, but if Instructor Seong Su-ho’s name is published in the media… It’s not just the guild that’s targeting Instructor Seong Su-ho.”
“What is that….”
“Before the guild rendezvous, the guys who are active in various shadows will throw ground food and nets.”
“Ah….”
Consulate.
It wasn’t just a place to teach young heroes.
Protect.
It was an institution that also played a role in preventing newbies who had the ability but had little experience in the world from entering a dangerous path.
And for that, the consulate grants admission only by looking at pure talent and grades when entering the school.
No matter how much money and personal connections were mobilized, the consulate was a place where backdoor dealings were absolutely impossible.
And the admitted students receive about 10 million won a month despite their status as educated students.
Protection, welfare, and money.
Giving these three enormous benefits and leading the cadets to the guild upon graduation.
That was the purpose of the consulate’s existence.
But the one who couldn’t even enter… ?
“Among the characters who are suddenly featured in the media, there are surprisingly few people with good endings. Because most of them are blinded by the greater good and go there.”
“Instructor Seong Soo-ho is definitely someone like that….”
“I know very well that Instructor Seong Su-ho is the right person. It’s just because I’m worried.”
Yeriel looked at me blankly and called out.
“Instructor Seong Su-ho.”
“Yes.”
“Please know that I am not saying this to disparage you, just in case. That’s why I made this decision for your safety.”
“All right.”
Now I could roughly figure it out.
The reason why Yeriel hid my identity….
Anyway, I’m not her hero status, and even if she passed her moderately, there wouldn’t be a big problem for her.
However, seeing that she cared about me, I could roughly guess what Yeriel’s heart was like.
[Nice kid… No, it’s a woman.]
‘Yes. She is a very helpful woman, probably because I helped her a few times.’
[Don’t fall for it just in case.]
‘….’
Strong or… Unlike Armonia, she was a woman with a charm that swayed people.
It’s just that I shake it too much and get rid of it….
When I made such a blank expression, Kang Han-na raised her question.
[But it’s strange.]
‘What?’
[Because of this explanation, there seems to be no reason to prepare a place like this.]
As Kang Han-na said, it was a strange place.
If she controlled the media, it would have been enough for her to meet and explain in person.
Even if she thought it would be so if Seong Soo-ah was in the same place, she wondered if she had to talk like this in the same place with the principal.
She’d better keep it a secret even from the principal if she’s going to control it properly.
Fortunately, the doubt did not last long.
“Instructor Seong Su-ho.”
“Yes.”
Yeriel looked at me and, unlike before, hardened her expression and made a direct proposal.
“Perhaps… Aren’t you thinking of joining the tower?”
