When I opened my eyes, red eyes were staring at me.

“What are you doing?”

When I asked in a half-asleep way, having just woken up from sleep, Sharon said.

“It hurts.”

“It hurts? Where are you going?”

“Ugh, not me. Master!”

After checking my physical condition for a moment, I found that there was enough room for misunderstanding.

Normally, I wouldn’t break a single sweat even if I did that, but if I had that weird lucid dream, my body would be covered in sweat like this.

“I don’t feel sick.”

“It hurts!”

“Why do you say I’m not sick?”

Are you the type of person to speak with an answer already decided?

In some ways, Sharon may have a personality similar to Lee Ha-neul.

Since when did he wake up and look at me?

Putting aside my silly fantasies, I asked Sharon if I could go into the crack again.

Then Sharon nodded willingly and disappeared into thin air.

After observing the situation as if a storm had passed, I went into the bathroom and prepared to go to work like a hero.

In fact, there were no proper working hours for heroes.

All you have to do is show up at an appropriate time with your wits and convictions and find out what to do for the day.

And what does the association do?

To give an example, there is a large electronic display board that serves as a bulletin board floating in the middle of the huge interior, like a fantasy-style guild.

The content is roughly a request from a guild that requires the power of a hero, overseas dispatch, etc.

The scale varies from small to large.

Then, the hero selects a request that interests him and then accepts the request by checking for more detailed and accurate information at the reception desk.

But the funny thing here is.

Conversely, a hero who accepts a request may be rejected by the other party.

This means that clients with high standards also classify the heroes who will carry out their requests.

So, to what point does our sky level rise in this case?

of course.

It can be said that it is at the level of a phone attack asking people to look at their requests.

Will I just get a request call?

What about sidekick contract recommendations and promotions?

How could a promising player with a guaranteed future like Haneul be left alone somewhere else?

‘We do whatever Heaven wants to do.’

And I would always welcome a situation where the main hero of the original work receives attention.

As soon as possible, other ‘real’ heroes should take the ultra-elite course like her.

Heroes in this world are the citizens’ idols and idols.

The reality of the world was that even if an idol was at a level of national power, they were treated like stones lying on the side of the road in front of the name hero.

Of course, it will only be successful if the level is right to a certain degree.

But here is a hero who is ‘beautiful’, ‘has a good personality’, and is showing impressive performance?

Even if I was on the sidekick sales team, I would have rushed in with lights in my eyes.

What is important to note here is that the level given to heroes is not there for nothing.

Naturally, most of the attention is focused only on top heroes, including S-class.

Lee Ha-neul, who was called a saint in the original work, was of course S-rank.

And at this point, I can’t leave out my situation where I ‘accidentally’ became a hero.

Unlike Lee Ha-neul, he hasn’t been active in any particular way, and even in the recent big incident (Sinism Church), he was automatically eliminated due to the kidnapping concept.

It is clear that the grade I will receive, as I am just quietly burying myself, will be somewhere around the E or F grade.

Why don’t you know your level?

I haven’t been assigned a rank because I haven’t taken the evaluation test yet.

To be honest, I wasn’t interested in playing the rating game.

I am satisfied with just finding and taking care of heroes who will guarantee my pension behind the scenes.

Anyway, as usual, it was around the time I entered the association, wondering if there was any suitable mission.

“Hey. Have you seen the Krystal commercial filmed this time?”

“Uh. Really pretty…”

I, who had just entered the association, met the eyes of the heroes who were talking while wearing suits.

But as if he had seen something he couldn’t see, the warm atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

‘What.’

Of course, it was a moment that caused extreme discomfort.

It doesn’t end there.

As I walk inside, everyone I meet begins to look at me with strange eyes.

It was as if everyone was collaborating.

I couldn’t help but be bothered by the fact that they gave the same reaction as if they were watching a hidden camera except for me.

His signature way of pretending not to care, or outright staring.

It made me wonder if there was a signal that only I was aware of, and the eyes and atmosphere were similar to those of the heroes I had encountered at the training center at that time.

I could immediately sense that something was currently happening around me.

How dare you get caught? Unpleasant glances are flying in from all over the place to the point where I feel like I’m fixated on it.

‘Why are you talking about things that only you two know?’

As I entered deeper, feeling so gloomy, an even heavier atmosphere descended upon me, as if I had entered the next room of a dungeon.

“How can people who call themselves heroes…!”

You can even feel the dark anger that seems to be weighing you down.

However, what I feel intuitively while listening is that that voice is so familiar that I would regret leaving it out of my memory.

just as expected.

A woman with platinum-colored hair was standing against a large crowd of people without retreating an inch.

The moment I witnessed that unbelievable scene, I skipped the thought step and jumped out of my body first.

“Sky. What is it?”

As I walked forward and looked at his face, I immediately felt how angry he was.

Does it make Sky angry? A child who doesn’t know what anger is? dare?

Haneul’s expression becomes even darker when she recognizes me belatedly. Are you afraid that your disheveled appearance will be seen as embarrassing?

I felt that delicate yet kind heart in an instant even in the previous situation, which made my emotions fluctuate even more.

“What is it?”

It was only then that I was able to identify each and every one of the evil bastards in this world.

Then, suddenly, familiar faces flashed through my mind.

“Ah… Oh, brother.”

“….”

Sky called me, looking quite embarrassed, and a group of heroes showed an unexpected reaction as they checked me with their hateful faces.

A total of 7 people.

He looks at me in a familiar and natural manner, as if he has known me from the beginning.

Among them, the two who seem to have the strongest say are heroes I know well.

Na Seong-hyun and Lee Joo-eun.

They are also a very famous hero couple.

These are people who left a strong impression in the original work, so I remember their names.

A handsome male hero and a beautiful female hero.

Their skills are also assigned to A rank, so what a perfect match they are for each other.

Of course, in my mind, both of them are remembered as the most asshole duo of all time, full of greed and malice.

They are a pair that gets along very well, either in a good way or in a bad way.

“…Ha.”

Na Seong-hyun looked at me wearing a sparkly suit.

Although he was faking it with good intentions, I couldn’t help but notice the deep emotions hidden deep inside that expression.

Lee Joo-eun next to me was giving me a very disapproving look.

“Who are you?”

The question is full of hostility.

At that moment, the urge to ‘reform’ them arose, but I managed to persevere and answered Lee Joo-eun.

“My name is Seongjin Kim. There is no hero name yet.”

“Ah, is that…?”

Lee Joo-eun hears my name and looks at my face as if something occurred to her.

‘Kill me? Kill the Master?’

I tried to suppress Sharon’s lively question in my head and calmly received her gaze.

Lee Joo-eun knows very well how to make people feel bad.

It was as if he gave me a knowing look when I first saw him, but then he bothered to ask again to reconfirm my identity.

It is clear that they are trying to shake off a leadership that has no place.

The unusual signs of heroes that were felt from the moment they entered the association.

And even the current situation.

Now, I am confident and not just guessing.

“Sky. What’s going on?”

I felt like I would have the urge to keep looking at those faces, so I forced myself to look at Haneul.

Our Sky is really pretty even when she’s angry.

I still think about it, but as time goes by, I feel like it shines more and more.

“Those people keep talking strangely about Seongjin oppa…”

“Me?”

“I definitely heard it. They say Seongjin oppa is a parachute and a shameless person.”

“Wait a minute, wait a minute.”

I was barely conscious, but an unpleasant voice persisted.

This time it’s Na Seong-hyun’s side.

He interrupted our conversation with a harmless expression on his face, as if he was troubled.

“Sorry if there was any misunderstanding. These days, there is an uproar within the association due to information that someone maliciously spread.”

“Sky. Information? What do you mean?”

“Uh. No, that means…”

I glanced at Na Seong-hyeon and then turned my gaze back to Lee Ha-neul and asked her the whole story.

It feels like the spirit that was polluted by Na Seong-hyeon is being purified again by the saint.

“…”

I left Na Seong-hyeon, who suddenly found himself in a position of being ignored, and waited for Lee Ha-neul to open his mouth.

“It’s really absurd. hey. Why are you blatantly ignoring people?”

“Jooeun, calm down.”

There is no need to listen to what the trash is saying anyway.

Rather than trying to find more accurate information based on statements from both sides.

I decided to just believe Haneul’s one-sided words.
