The Villain Professor of Heroes

24 – That was it (5)

“Not registered, what do you mean? Are you saying that you have withdrawn?”

[no. I wasn’t registered as a hero from the start. So it means that there has never been a hero with that name.]

What else are you talking about?

It’s clear that the hero’s self-confidence is an extra point, but his parents have never been heroes?

Should I recognize him by his call sign, not his real name?

However, Han Min-ha does not know the callsigns of her parents.

“OK. Thank you.”

I hung up the phone and immediately searched for Han Min-ha’s parents on the Internet.

As expected, there was no way it would come out even if I looked for it with my real name, not even a call sign.

How did this happen…

Either one.

Either Min-ha Han got the parent’s name wrong, or the bureau really doesn’t have a record.

But both are unlikely.

There is no way to misrepresent the names of parents, and there is no hero without a record in the Administration Bureau.

Especially when Han Min-ha’s parents aren’t heroes.

Hero additional points subject, survivors pension.

With just these two, the evidence that Han Min-ha’s parents are heroes is solid.

If so, the chances are very slim…

It means that the management bureau denies the very existence of a certain hero.

There is no such thing in the administration statutes and regulations that I am aware of.

And it’s the same in the original work that you know the ending.

But suddenly, I remembered a story I heard the other day while eating bulmakchang with the professors.

Secretto.

The secret organization of the management bureau that Yu Hee-won’s father belonged to.

If Han Min-ha’s parents belonged to that secret organization, then everything would be understood.

The family relations column is blank.

Even if you are missing, you will receive survivors’ pension.

The administration directly arranged Han Min-ha’s admission to the academy.

Just answered that there is nothing registered in the inquiry phone.

Han Min-ha doesn’t even know basic information such as her parents’ callsigns.

If you are a hero of a secret organization, it fits.

Hmm… was it really like that…

If that’s the case, the disappearance must have been disguised as being killed during some kind of sensitive mission.

What kind of mission was it?

More than that, then you can’t find out about Han Min-ha’s parents anymore.

If you roughly estimate the time period, it seems that Yoo Hee-won’s father and their Secret To activities overlap.

Shall I tell Yoo Hee-won a little?

Of course, this must be done under the assumption that Han Min-ha’s parents are secret.

You have to be careful because you can’t know how you will react if you recklessly poke something like that at the advisory chairman of the management bureau.

Secretora…

Searching on the internet yielded no results.

Similar words might come out, but judging from the fact that white spaces appeared at all, it seemed that they were deliberately blocked.

Who should I ask about this?

Class time for higher classes.

Yoo Hee-won kept avoiding my gaze as if she was angry at something.

It seemed that Han Min-ha’s mistakes about her parents made me feel uncomfortable.

A person with such a personality has a hard time putting up with making mistakes.

And even if you do something wrong, don’t be angry with others.

Maybe deep down you are resentful of why you didn’t tell me that in advance.

I didn’t hate it though.

Because it was proof that there was a minimum conscience.

At the end of the lecture, suddenly a student raised his hand.

“Professor. I have a question for you.”

“tell.”

“Are you also an active hero?”

“No. I retired and became a professor. I’m not active.”

“Then what grade were you in? What was your call sign?”

“It was Class C. Callsign was Graysteel.”

gray steel.

A straightforward and unpretentious call sign befitting an honest defensive supporter.

At the word C grade, several students whispered among themselves.

“Why did you retire? All the other professors are active?”

“It was for health reasons.”

“By the way, professor. There is no video of the professor’s past. Why is that?”

I guess so.

It is common sense for students to pry behind the professor.

But unfortunately, I don’t have any external hero activity videos.

This is because he is a non-mainstream hero specializing in defense.

While the other heroes fought spectacularly and drew attention from the media, I quietly supported the defense behind the scenes.

So that’s it.

As I explained, the students whispered among themselves.

I don’t know what they’re talking about, but it probably won’t be very positive.

Most of the upper class students are golden spoons like Yoo Hee-won or children who have received their parents’ talent like Han Min-ha.

Right after the entrance ceremony, he was told that he was a professor from a hero, so he would have looked up to him, but now everyone has adjusted to the academy.

In the eyes of such kids, how would a professor who is a former C-class hero who is not on active duty and who has no outstanding achievements to speak of?

But it doesn’t really matter how students see me.

Those kids will already master the basic defense anyway, even if I don’t teach them with all my might, and I, too, won’t have any trouble living whether or not I win the hearts of the students.

But Yoo Hee-won doesn’t seem to be like that.

“Shut up! Don’t chew on the back like rats!”

The students, who were embarrassed by the sad story, fell apart from each other in fright.

“Okay. Time’s up. Today’s lecture is over. Good job everyone.”

As soon as the words were finished, Yoo Hee-won grabbed her bag and jumped up and left the classroom.

In the haughty silence, the other students hurriedly followed Yu Hee-won.

Now, a C-class hero, not a B-class, would look ridiculous.

But after graduating, you will realize how difficult it is to live with a C grade and retire in good shape.

Even after having several battle videos with over a million views, in the end, heroes who couldn’t even find a body lined up.

Then, I suddenly remembered someone to ask about Secreto.

There is one hero in our academy who has the most battle videos exposed to the media.

* * * * *

“Professor Yoo. Is it okay for a minute?”

“Professor? What’s going on? Is he coming to the classroom?”

Professor Yoo Hyeon-joo of General Attack greeted me with a slightly unexpected expression.

Due to the nature of the course, Professor Yoo was wearing a black uniform with a good fit, instead of a dull suit like mine.

A thick belt was worn around her waist, but the belt, which should have been black, had worn away and was now almost white.

The mixed martial arts classroom is not a classroom, but a mixed martial arts gym.

There is a hexagonal ring in the middle of the wide space, and punching bags and various exercise equipment are lined up around it.

Here, freshmen learn basic martial arts and when their level rises, they move to an outdoor lecture hall to learn deadly attack techniques using auras in earnest.

“Did you come to ask Han Min-ha?”

“I came here with both sides. How are you?”

“It’s always the same. Today the belt of the uniform came loose, so it wasn’t a fuss.”

“Why is that?”

“As the belt loosens, the front of the uniform opens up, and you know what’s next even if you don’t say anything, right?”

Right.

Wearing only a thin cotton tee, Han Min-ha’s outstanding body was exposed to the whole world.

It must have been a mind-boggling sight for the male students.

“Other than that, there’s nothing special about it. I went back after hitting the punching bag all day today.”

“Is that so… By the way, Professor Yoo. Actually, I came to ask something else.”

“Yes. I thought so. Come and sit down.”

Professor Yoo Hyeon-joo brought two plastic chairs without backs.

“What are you curious about?”

“It’s the secret you said the other day when you ate fire-mushroom spears. Can you tell me exactly what it is? There’s no one else to ask but Professor Yu.”

Professor Yoo Hyun-joo, who was sitting in front of me, is a Class A hero, and was a very famous hero before becoming a professor.

Even now, if you do a search, you can easily find her battle videos with over a million views.

“Secretto? I told you. Nobody knows about it. I’m just guessing.”

“Professor Yoo is the only person I know who can even guess.”

“Hmm…”

Professor Yoo Hyun-joo crossed his arms and looked at me for a while before asking.

“Is there a special reason? It’s the first time I’ve seen you, professor, take such an interest in something different.”

“There is something I really want to know about.”

There is a reason why I dared to visit Professor Yoo Hyeon-joo, leaving the widely spread B-level professors and above.

Professor Yoo Hyeon-joo is a trustworthy person who is very kind to me and has a heavy mouth.

It’s nothing else, and he’s not the kind of person who would pass on the effort of an advisor to properly lead his students.

To be honest, Professor Heo Tae-hyeon of Information Acquisition and Operation is the best person to get information, but I can’t trust him.

Originally, spies cheated on their side as well.

“You know that Han Min-ha is a hero child’s extra points, right?”

“You know. Aurors are on a different level than the other kids.”

“Han Min-ha’s parents. They are all dead.”

“I guess both of them were heroes? It’s a pity. It’s a job that wouldn’t be strange if they died at any time.”

“It’s not like I was killed by a normal villain.”

At my words, Professor Yoo Hyun-joo tilted her head slightly.

“then?”

“I was listed as missing. Han Min-ha received a survivor’s pension and entered the academy with the help of the administration.”

“Hmm…”

“However, the family relation section of Han Min-ha’s personal statement is blank. Even if you inquire at the management office, no hero with that name has ever been registered.”

“What’s your name?”

“This is Han Tae-woo and Seo Ji-ah.”

“I’ve never heard of that name either… So you’re saying that Han Min-ha’s parents seem to be Secretos?”

“Yes.”

Professor Yoo Hyeon-ju touched his chin and nodded slowly.

“With Secret, everything you’ve figured out so far matches.”

“So that’s what I guessed. But I can’t go any further.”

“What does that have to do with you? How do you judge that Han Min-ha’s poor performance and his parents’ disappearance have something to do with it? So you thought you might find a way by looking into it?”

“That’s right. I think Han Min-ha was traumatized by the disappearance of her parents. During the basic evaluation, she fainted when she saw a video of a hero being killed by a villain, and she had a strong aura but couldn’t use it at all. She refused to become a hero herself. I don’t think that’s what you’re doing.”

“Then why did you enter the academy and remain? If you don’t want to become a hero, you can just go to a regular high school.”

“I said it with my own mouth. There is nothing to do outside. In addition, the management bureau said that they would put me in the academy right away in the desperate situation of my grandparents, so I must have entered the academy without hesitation. He must have been worried that he would be left alone again if he left. That’s what I guess.”

“Ummm…”

Professor Yoo, who had been shaking his head for a while, opened his mouth.

“I think your speculation about the trauma of the disappearance of your parents makes sense. And since you’re receiving a survivor’s pension, Min-ha doesn’t think that your parents simply went missing. Yes, that seems to be true.”

“So that’s what I’m trying to find out.”

“If your parents are certain that you are a hero, but you are not registered with the Bureau, then Secreto will be right for you. Even I heard that Secreto treats you as a non-existent person from the beginning. .”

“How can I find out?”

“Well, to be honest, it’s impossible for a single professor to dig into what the Administration Bureau is determined to hide. And the assumption that Han Min-ha’s parents are secret is the premise.”

And again, Professor Yu did not speak for a long time.

I didn’t feel nervous because I had a mental barrier, but when I thought that quite a long time had passed, Professor Yoo suddenly said.

“But it’s not entirely out of the way.”
