Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

3. Foreboding

#3. Foreboding

“Huh. You slept a lot.”

After returning home.

Arrived home and slept.

All day long. Breakfast lunch dinner.

And until dawn the next day.

I couldn’t help it because of jet lag.

“It’s nine o’clock… You really slept all day.”

I think I slept for about 20 hours.

I slept a lot.

It seems that the accumulated fatigue has also played a role.

Because I had a lot of work.

“Should we enjoy the leisurely unemployed life now?”

The corner of his mouth went up.

I have a lot of money, and there is no way I will die without using it all.

Unexpected accident?

Isn’t it a hero to stop that?

What the hero can’t stop, the main character’s party will.

All that remains is to get sick or get into a car accident… If you have money, everything is solved.

What if I get an incurable disease?

It’s enough to buy an elixir and drink it~

No matter how expensive it is, it is not more expensive than life. Even if you leave the money you saved up as a waste, you won’t be able to take it with you when you die.

Growling-

The boat screamed for food.

It must be because I starved all day yesterday.

“Ah… I need to eat something before that. Ah. Right. I need to eat ramen soon.”

It was spicy and salty.

I opened a bag of spicy ramen and put it on the pot.

Even if you have a lot of money and eat a lot of delicious things, your taste doesn’t seem to change much.

The bottom line is that ramen is the best.

Is it because it contains a lot of msg?

Bubble bubble.

Once the water boiled, I added the noodles and soup.

Afterwards, when the noodles loosened up enough, I stirred them and closed the lid of the pot.

“What should I eat… Hmm. Game? I’m worried.”

Come to think of it, I didn’t have any plans for what I would do after retirement. When to retire I was just looking for what I needed for retirement.

Yeah, it doesn’t matter if you think about it from now on anyway. What remains is time. Until the moment I fall behind. Continue.

“Ah, the ramen should be ready.”

I forgot to put the ramen on it.

Fortunately, the noodles did not spread.

Sluruk.

The thick noodles were excellent.

How does the soup taste?

Foie gras? Caviar? To be honest, I didn’t even know what it tasted like before, whether it was delicious or not.

I don’t know if it’s steak.

“Great. Yes, it tastes like this.”

I ate spicy ramen when I was in the US, but it didn’t taste like it. Would it be bizarrely different? I didn’t know why either.

Bang Bang!

I heard someone trying to break down the door.

‘… What kind of madman are you? Or rather, can a guy like that live in a place like this?’

I live in a residential-commercial apartment complex.

I wanted to live in a place like the mansion in the movie, but there was only one reason why I chose this place.

Safety.

It is a world where monsters and villains come out.

Therefore, safety was one of the most important factors in determining the price of a house.

This was the safest place in Seoul.

Why?

Next to it is the Hero Association building.

And 30% of the residents of this residential/commercial complex are advanced heroes. One of the best heroes is also moving in.

Is that enough of an explanation?

Is the villain coming here? He’s just coming to commit suicide. It is such a very safe place.

Of course, before that, most intruders are sorted out by the guards.

Even the guards are composed of retired mid-level heroes.

In one word, it was said that the madman knocking on the door was a resident.

“Damn it! I still hit and fell asleep. Let’s see what kind of bastard he is.”

Bang Bang!

He was still banging on the door.

Why bother knocking on the door after leaving the doorbell on?

Did you take a shot of drugs?

This was a rather probable story. Because I’ve known since before that there aren’t just a couple of drug-using heroes.

‘I hope it’s not just a crazy guy.’

I tried to look through the intercom first, but something was covered so I couldn’t see the other person. It seemed like there was no choice but to check it out myself.

“Hey. Were you sleeping?”

“Who are you- Huh?”

However, the person who slammed the door for a long time was someone I knew well.

That’s also very good.

“Hoseok hyung?”

“Yes. But what were you doing… Huh? Does it smell like ramen? Oh, have you been eating?”

He was such a close acquaintance that he even came to my retirement ceremony.

A person with whom I have been in a relationship for 8 years since I was in Korea.

‘I thought he was crazy, but Hoseok is the older brother. No… Hoseok hyung is crazy. Whoa….’

Come to think of it, this older brother also lived here.

Intermediate level He’s a hero, so he’s on a different level to live here, but he’s from a good family. Perhaps he borrowed money from the house and came in.

But if there is something, we can talk over the phone. Is there any need to come to visit us?

Because I am originally a 4-dimensional person. I understand, but….

“Do you want to go after him?”

I appropriately picked up a golf club near the front door.

“Huh? Uh… ?”

Then, I saw Kim Hoseok panic.

“No, you shouldn’t knock on the door in the morning. It’s not just where I live… Are there other people?”

Of course, even if I had come to a house and not an apartment and said this sh*t, I would have been angry at every single thing. Anyway that’s it

Kang!

I swung a golf club at Kim Hoseok.

As it was, his head was hit directly with a golf club.

“Evil!”

It’s not because I’m crazy.

It is because the hawk is medicine for Kim Hoseok.

Anyway, it’s an intermediate level hero, so even if I, a normal person, swings a golf club, it won’t hurt.

In fact, his expression was calm, and the hand he swung was tingling. f*ck.

“Hey, you can do it with words. Are you swinging a golf club?”

“Hyung doesn’t listen to me when I talk. Oh my hand hurts more crazy… life is unfair Even if someone gets hit in the head with a golf club, he’s fine.”

“Think of it as punishment for beating me.”

“Damn it….”

I sighed and asked Kim Hoseok.

“So why did you come from the wind in the morning?”

“We decided to go fishing together when we came to Korea. Did you forget?”

“Fishing? Ah. Don’t remember But why?”

I remembered our promise to go fishing with him. I definitely had those memories.

However, I did not remember having a specific schedule.

“I came to tell you to go today.”

“Today?”

“Why do you have work to do? You are unemployed.”

“That’s right.”

“Then let’s go. I’ve found a good spot. Trust me and follow me.”

“What about equipment?”

I had no fishing gear.

Because I had never fished before.

“I’ll lend you mine.”

It seems that this hyung decided to come here.

My body was itching to go fishing.

He didn’t really have anything to do, and he thought it wouldn’t be bad to take time off in moderation.

“Okay. Let’s go. I will finish eating.”

“Yes. Eat slowly You know my house, right?”

“Oh. I’ll go eat.”

“I was bored doing it alone until now, but it worked out well hehehe. Then see you later.”

I nodded and shut the door. Then I sat down at the table to finish eating ramen.

Ah, the whole thing was blown.

***

Academy practical exam.

The content of the test is different every time, so that the cadets can’t predict it.

It is to develop improvisational ability.

Also, there are things to make you go through various situations.

And this test was a test against hologram monsters encountered while wandering around civilian areas controlled by the academy.

Group is a group of 3 people.

Scoring is done through action cams mounted on cadets and drone cams spread throughout the region.

It was a test that was taken at the beginning of the semester, so there was nothing complicated or difficult about it.

An hour passed after the test started.

– Soohyuk Lee

– Lim Seong-won

– Cynthia

[Current score: 46 points] *Current: 7/20

Cynthia checked Joe’s score and rank through his watch.

’46 Points. And 7th… ! How high! If I do well, I might get an A on this exam!’

Although the group’s rank is not the only score, it has an impact.

Cynthia thought her hard work had paid off.

In fact, she was not insignificant during the battle.

Of course, Lee Soo-hyuk was the most active.

A genius who is at the top of his grade and is paying attention to all guilds.

‘I’m a bit anxious today, but… ‘Cause I’m still doing well Are you feeling unwell? I’m not sure.’

Cynthia saw that Lee Soo-hyeok often made mistakes during battle.

Because of that, Lim Seong-won and she suffered little by little.

But she was doing more than that, so she couldn’t say anything and continued the test.

‘Yes. I’ve come this far because Lee Soo-hyuk is here. What if I make some mistakes?’

It was at that time that she was wandering around the mountains looking for monsters.

Lim Seong-won, one of the members of the group, carefully opened his mouth.

“A monster appeared in front of me. It’s a predatory bear.”

“Predatory bear… ?”

A predatory bear is a large monster.

You can get 10 points if you catch it.

That’s a very high score.

And a high score also meant that you were strong.

“What are you going to do?”

Cynthia looked at the two and asked.

The current situation is good. If you keep going like this, you can climb up and enter the top ranks.

But what if you catch him? 3Rd straight away. No, you can even enter the 2nd place.

“Catch it. No. You have to catch it unconditionally.”

And then, Lee Soo-hyeok strongly appealed his opinion.

It was the first time this happened during the exam.

‘I have to catch him. I have to catch it.’

Lee Soo-hyeok was determined to catch the predatory bear.

He intends to increase his ransom by showing off his large monster, the predatory bear.

The video of this test will be passed on to the guild’s scouts.

“… Wouldn’t that be a bit dangerous?”

But Cynthia was a bit negative.

Lee Soo-hyeok’s condition was not good.

When dealing with small and medium sized monsters, mistakes ended up as mistakes… Maybe not this time.

“Just trust me.”

“… Then I will follow Soo-hyeok’s opinion.”

Lim Seong-won also voted in favor.

2:1. Opinion leaned toward catching predatory bears.

“It has been decided. Let’s go.”

Lee Soo-hyeok turned his body around and gradually closed the distance towards the predatory bear.

‘It seems dangerous, but… okay. There is an opportunity in a crisis. You can’t always pursue safe methods. Let’s go!’

Cynthia took the opportunity from this crisis and vowed to leap from the paid crisis to the mid-level in one fell swoop.
