chapter 5
Episode 5
A class made up of outstanding cadets.
A week ago, it was revealed that the homeroom instructor for class A was Ma, and a temporary instructor had been filling the position for a while.
But forever and ever it can’t be.
The chairman of the board personally scouted retired heroes and finally found an instructor in charge.
“Really? Confirmed with him?”
“That’s right. I was surprised too.”
All the instructors who heard the news were expressing doubts as if they were not trustworthy.
“They say he’s been hiding in the mountains for 10 years. But, all of a sudden, what kind of instructor is he?”
“That’s right. Isn’t it Mr. Choi’s brain? It doesn’t make sense from common sense.”
“It’s true! Would I play a joke on such an important matter? I said it exactly as I was told by Manager Lee Dae-sik.”
‘Chun Hae-beom’ has been confirmed to be recruited as the instructor in charge of class A, which is vacant.
A superhuman who treats all weapons in the world as if it were his own body and possesses magical powers of a different class.
He has a good understanding of teaching and is a real superman who has discovered many talented supermen.
Of course, many years have passed and now he has become the main character of an urban legend, but his name is not lacking in creating a big wave.
“Hmm…… Manager Lee Dae-sik has credibility.”
“Ah! I also heard a similar story from teacher Kim Jun-ho yesterday. But even then, it wasn’t confirmed, right?”
“Looks like it’s official…”
All the instructors had no choice but to believe it now.
As I accepted the truth, other thoughts bit my tail.
“Cheonghaebeom…… Are the rumors true?”
“Ah. It must have been a bit exaggerated.”
I’ve never met him in person, so I can only rely on rumors.
“They say he broke the mountain with his bare hands and grabbed the wings of a wyvern and tore them.”
“It’s not a martial art, it’s not the main character, it’s all bullsh*t, bullsh*t.”
“Um… I wonder what it would look like rather than that.”
“Me too. But maybe I’m an old man? The chairman is an elderly person, but assuming he’s older than him, I’m sure he’s not young.”
“Oh… the gray-haired old man… He feels like a real Moorim master hahahaha!”
Most of the instructors were purely admiring and expecting.
But, of course, there were also people who were dissatisfied with this situation.
“It makes absolutely no sense!”
The principal’s office located not far from the instructor’s office.
There, two men were sitting facing each other.
Lee Dae-shik, instructor of the school year, and Kwak Sang-cheol, principal.
Lee Dae-sik made threats even though the person he was facing was the principal.
“Weren’t there a lot of candidates? Why is it him? Withdraw now!”
Lee Dae-shik could not understand the recent news.
Putting a man whose abilities and identity have not even been confirmed into an instructor position? It was impossible and should not be.
“It is impossible to withdraw what has already been decided.”
However, Kwak Sang-cheol’s attitude was stubborn.
hard.
Lee Dae-shik, with an angry expression, gnashed his teeth.
“Don’t blame me. It’s impossible to select an instructor with my authority alone.”
No matter how much the principal is, the power is not strong enough to arbitrarily decide the instructor.
That means that.
“This is a special order from the chairman.”
“…… Also…”
At Kwak Sang-cheol’s bombshell remark, Lee Dae-sik was speechless.
Perhaps it was a guess.
“Are you giving me special treatment because I have a personal relationship…”
Lee Dae-shik has also heard rumors about Cheon Hae-beom.
But it’s just a rumor that it’s a cadara. It is more like an urban legend whose authenticity is not even known.
To inaugurate such a person as an instructor? It’s a stupid decision even if you think about it a hundred times.
“It’s because you don’t know what.
“…Are you that guy whose guild is unknown and he has no records? I don’t understand. Which part of that guy fits the role of an instructor?”
“Sensei Gluttony. Since when did your achievements and place of origin qualify you to teach students?”
“Then. How can an incompetent guy with no track record help here?”
Lee Dae-shik’s neck was bloodied once again.
At Lee Dae-shik’s words, Kwak Sang-cheol only burst into laughter.
“Heh heh. He’s incompetent.”
“Without regard to ability and suitability. This is unreasonable.”
Lee Dae-shik vomited out all the resentment he had accumulated and actively revealed his position, but Kwak Sang-cheol’s reaction was subtle.
Kwak Sang-cheol, who had been silently listening, suddenly raised the corner of his mouth.
“Ability and suitability. Because of that, it was decided that he was the lowly man.”
“what do you mean?”
“It’s literally. Miss Sujin. Bring it and try it.”
“Yes.”
A clear voice different from the two.
The owner of that voice was Kwak Sang-cheol’s exclusive secretary, Lee Soo-jin.
With just one hand gesture using telekinesis, she put several sheets of paper in her hand and brought them to Kwak Sang-cheol.
Upon receiving it, Kwak Sang-cheol spread it out on the table for all to see.
“Isn’t that the profile of the cadets? Why are you showing this?”
“Read it once.”
Lee Dae-shik tilted his head.
He read the profiles one by one with little doubts.
Even after reading it, I couldn’t fathom Kwak Sang-cheol’s intentions.
“I’m considering the suitability of that guy now, why are these kids coming out? Playing with me—”
“Those children.”
Kwak Sang-cheol cut off his words.
Soon after, he delivered an important message.
“These children are the children who saved their lives by the perpetrator.”
“…… I beg your pardon?”
Lee Dae-shik’s body froze cold.
It was an amazing reaction, as if facing an unrealistic sight.
Despite that reaction, Kwak Sang-cheol continued to speak calmly.
“These are the one and only treasures of this academy. We got them thanks to the rescue of the old perpetrator.”
“Is that true?”
“That’s right. His heroic aspect can be said to have contributed to our academy as well.”
Behind Kwak Sang-cheol, who was constantly moving his mouth, Lee Su-jin searched for his arms.
The enclosed paper bag appeared in her arms.
“Ah, thank you, Sujin-san. Now, this is the performance certificate of Hae-Bum Cheon. This information has been erased from the public, but the chairman gave it to me before that. Of course, it is top secret.”
“……”
Lee Dae-sik accepted the document with trembling fingertips.
‘Heavy.’
Even the weight I felt at first glance made me feel that it was not normal.
Swallowing the tension, Lee Dae-shik went through each letter.
Charreuk-charreuk-
Only the sound of flipping papers filled the room.
While reading the document, Lee Dae-sik’s face showed only one emotion.
astonished
Soon, his eyes, which had been moving countless times, stopped and focused only on one spot.
“…….her.”
Lee Dae-sik, who confirmed the number of rescuers, was astonished.
“Is this true?”
“Billon elimination and gate. A total of 248 Cheon Hae-beom’s achievements, including dungeon raids, are truly enormous.”
Where is that?
All of Cheon Hae-beom’s performance was related to human casualties.
“Beyond the metropolitan area. Daejeon. Gyeongbuk. Busan. Even Jeju Island.”
The activity records of Cheon Hae-beom were distributed in all regions.
While the heroes are in a hurry to protect their region, Hae-beom Cheon alone reaches out to help all over the country.
Even without anyone’s support, only alone.
‘How could this be…’
If it’s for the sake of life, I don’t care.
Isn’t this what a true hero looks like?
“Why is this man…”
One regrettable thing is that the hero Chun Hae-beom is not being treated according to his merits.
Lee Dae-sik said, feeling unfair about the fact.
“You’re more than a bear, and you’ve made money. This part is really…… just frustrating. It’s not that the wrong person has been praised.”
While saying that, I read the newspaper articles.
His hand trembled as he turned to the next page.
‘…….’
The content was not particularly eye-catching.
He saved a little girl from an orc even by throwing himself, something like that.
However, the face of the young girl in the article was familiar.
Lee Dae-shik raised his head and looked at Lee Su-jin.
“That’s right. Lee Soo-jin saved her life thanks to him. Thanks to him, I was able to acquire competent subordinates.”
Lee Soo-jin nodded slowly.
Even her expressionless expression changed.
It was the moment when she discovered a new side of her businesslike personality.
“I am…….”
Lee Soo-jin, who had a cozy smile, spoke slowly.
“I experienced firsthand what happened then. And I saw it.”
As if recalling the events of the day, her eyes were full of melancholy.
“The man who jumped at me unarmed in the middle of a quarrel.”
A face full of excitement.
She still couldn’t forget the image of Cheon Hae-beom at that time.
A true hero could be seen in him who ran without hesitation.
“A normal hero would have eliminated orcs first, but he was different. The priority was ‘rescue’ rather than ‘eliminate’.”
“Huh……”
Lee Dae-sik felt dazed as if he had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer.
He lowered his head in embarrassment.
“I-I must have misjudged people… I’m sorry, principal.”
“It’s okay. You don’t have to apologize to me.”
Kwak Sang-cheol laughed casually, but Lee Dae-shik was very to die for.
One of the things people see is Lee Dae-sik, who used to be confident.
However, embarrassment filled my heart because I did not know the important great man and treated him like a child.
“Thousand Haebeom.”
Suddenly, I was curious about the person named Chun Hae-beom.
his face. Character. thought. I was interested in even the smallest causal relationship.
When the thought of Cheon Hae-beom came to mind, a suspicion followed that could not be ignored.
“By the way, I have a question for you.”
“Tell me. If I know the information, I will gladly answer.”
“For what reason does this man hide his whereabouts? His achievements alone exceed S-class. It is a truly unfortunate and strange phenomenon.”
“Hmm. That’s right. I’m curious about that too.”
Kwak Sang-cheol was no different.
Sujin Lee’s voice intervened between the two who were sobbing.
“I think I know.”
“……?”
“According to the character of this old man, he only has this. It’s obvious that he is reluctant to be known to the public.”
“Yes? What do you mean?”
All heroes thirst for fame and riches.
There is only such a difference. There was not a single hero who lacked it.
“There’s no reason to refuse the benefits that follow from what you’ve done. To be honest… It’s not even Hogu.”
“I know one, I don’t know the other. There’s no reason why.”
Lee Soo-jin showed a faint smile.
It was a charming yet innocent laugh.
“Perhaps his steep fame has an adverse effect on the structure. I think that’s why.”
“……!”
“Huh… that’s right.”
Occasionally, such misfortunes do happen.
Citizens who recognize famous heroes follow them and put them in danger, or obstruct rescue by blocking the road.
Such things happen on a daily basis, but there was no way to solve them.
“To the extent of giving up all of that. You’re working hard on rescue… I can’t believe you didn’t know such a hero…”
Lee Dae-sik exclaimed and thought of Cheon Hae-beom again.
