Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[(Side story) Landlord’s question]

WHA central control room .

In the deepest part of it, there is a place where access is strictly controlled, even for internal employees.

“Huh. Before we knew it, Lily was like that….”

Baek Chang-soo was there with two people monitoring the appearance of the main test takers.

“I’m so embarrassed that I was worried that I might cause an accident.”

Next to Baek Chang-soo, Baek Young-hee sighed softly and said.

They were watching the 8th mission area, ‘City Infested with Plague’.

The monitor showed Lily and her colleagues.

-Move patients in serious condition here first!

-Wendy! Block that hole with ice!

-Mr. So and Gerold, please get food and medicine!

A few hours ago, Lily and the others arrived at the bunker where patients with infectious diseases were gathered.

They immediately treated the patients, dealt with the surrounding monsters, secured food and daily necessities, and fortified the bunker.

-Bring me everything you need to burn!

Among them, Lily’s ability to skillfully give instructions to people and respond to situations stood out.

Baek Chang-soo and Baek Young-hee could not help but be impressed.

“I can’t believe that that young child… grew up so well.”

“Just looking at his ability to handle situations, he is much better than most current superhumans.”

“Well, maybe it’s natural. “If you think about the people you’ve been with for several years…”

The two people watched Lily with proud expressions.

A girl whose physical growth is slower than her peers, but who has grown mentally more than anyone else.

When I saw that, I was so proud and proud that I couldn’t help but feel emotional…

“Horrorok!”

…I would have been deeply moved by the sentiment, except for that roaring sound coming from behind.

“Horrorok!”

“Okay. “You mean it.”

Baek Chang-su twitched his thick eyebrows and looked back.

Currently, there were not many people on Earth who could calmly ignore Baek Chang-soo’s gaze.

But now, the young man who caught his gaze raised his head, continuing to inhale the ramen he was eating as if nothing had happened.

“Horrorok! yes? why?”

The sound of the noodles being passed over without chewing was really sticky.

‘Are you going to cook and eat ramen in WHA’s most secret space?’

It was a truly shocking sight, but Baek Chang-soo could not get angry.

It would have been the same even if I had grilled pork belly instead of ramen.

Instead, he clicked his tongue with a slightly worried expression.

“Vice President. “Are you not eating properly these days?”

“Because I work at a restaurant, it gets annoying to prepare and eat. After all, instant is the best.”

Wearing sweatpants and slippers.

The person who was half-squatting on a chair, holding the cup of ramen with one hand and blowing on it to gulp down the soup, was the landlord.

The greatest hero in human history.

A prophet who saved dozens of dimensions by sacrificing his life.

‘It’s like I wonder if anyone will believe me if I say that.’

Daein’s current appearance was no different from that of an unemployed person in a corner of a room, let alone a hero.

“Eating only ramen is not good for your health. Please eat some side dishes too. “I made it myself.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Baek Young-hee pushed the side dishes to Dae-in, wondering when she had brought them again.

Baek Chang-su frowned as if he disapproved of that.

“Younghee. “It seems like I haven’t eaten the food you made for years…”

Baek Young-hee then looked at Baek Chang-soo with an expression of bewilderment.

“yes? CEO, do you think I look that leisurely?”

“…….”

‘I raised my daughter wrong! ‘Try to do to me half as much as you do to that guy!’

Baek Chang-soo muttered to himself and then looked at Daein again.

His keen senses discovered traces of travel – and battle – left on the great man’s body.

“Have you found the person you were looking for?”

Daein, who was eating ramen, paused for a moment.

However, he soon said it as if it was no big deal.

“At least a clue. It sure looks like he’s alive…”

While Lily was taking the entrance exam at WHA, Daein was crossing dimensions, looking for someone-or something.

However, it did not tell us who the target was.

Baek Chang-su asked vaguely.

“Tell us who it is so we can find out. “Wouldn’t that be faster?”

“Because it’s something I want to find out personally.”

And with an ambiguous smile on his face, he muttered to himself.

“…I don’t want to disappoint that guy for no reason.”

“That guy?”

As if he had no intention of saying any more, Daein put some rice in the ramen soup and ate it generously with kimchi on a spoon.

Then, he became aware of Baek Chang-su, who kept looking at him strangely, and asked.

“Oh, by any chance, eating was prohibited here?”

‘Is that okay then, you bastard!’

Baek Chang-soo was moved to tears for a moment, but that was all.

What use are all the rules?

WHA itself is like a legacy left behind by a great person.

No, doesn’t the entire human race owe its life to this man?

“Don’t worry, just eat. “Would you like to order some other food?”

“That’s enough. “It’s not like I have a black hole in my stomach like a little kid.”

The great man raised his head and looked at the monitor in front of him.

Right in the center of the monitor.

There, Lily was seen taking care of people suffering from infectious diseases with her colleagues.

“Hmm…”

It was a bit of a strange feeling.

We’ve been through situations like that countless times as we’ve been together, but this was the first time I’d seen Lily do something like that with other people from a third party’s perspective.

Baek Chang-su, seeing Daein’s expression, smiled and asked.

“Doesn’t it feel weird? “I like it, but somehow I don’t like it, and while I’m proud of it, I feel sad for no reason.”

“…….”

“That’s what raising a child is like. “I thought he would stay in my arms forever… but before I knew it, he had grown up and was ready to leave.”

Baek Chang-soo smiled happily as he looked at his daughter next to him, while Baek Young-hee scolded him and told him to stop saying harsh words.

The great man looked at the father and daughter for a moment and then looked at Lily on the monitor again.

“…I wish he grew up a little faster. “Your growth is slow compared to your peers.”

“Please pay close attention now. “There will come a day when you will miss this day.”

“Tsk.”

Daein somehow felt like he was getting angry and changed the topic.

“That’s it. “What about the impure elements that sneaked in?”

The reason why Daein came here.

It wasn’t to watch Lily take the test.

“There are 12 spies confirmed so far.”

-Tidik!

When Baek Young-hee operated the remote control, the screen split into dozens.

The split screen showed the appearances of several test takers.

“It has been confirmed that they are carrying out behind-the-scenes operations, such as attempting to hack into our system or gathering test takers who are dissatisfied with the current union law and rallying forces.”

The purpose of WHA’s establishment is to raise heroes to respond to major crises such as the Demon World War.

But that wasn’t everything.

The great man rested his chin as he looked at the test takers who had been identified as spies.

“It’s less than I expected. “I think there are still some of them hiding.”

“Besides, there are 24 more candidates who are suspicious. “They are keeping an eye on it.”

After the dimensional hub was reorganized around Earth, representatives from numerous dimensions and races gathered to create new laws.

Also known as the Dimensional Hub Association Act.

Naturally, this law could not satisfy everyone.

‘Especially the greedy rulers.’

There were many people who were dissatisfied, but at the time, WH Group suppressed all complaints with the landlord’s name and overwhelming power.

‘But there’s no way these greedy guys will stay quiet forever.’

Numerous rulers were working behind the scenes to take control of the dimensional hub.

The great man knew the fact and thought of a way to solve the problem.

That is how WHA was established.

This laid the groundwork for those targeting the dimensional hub.

“It would be neat to collect them and organize them all at once.”

WHA was a facility to train future heroes and at the same time a huge bait to attract forces seeking to take over the dimensional hub.

“Collect as much evidence as possible so they can’t steal it.”

“All right.”

Daein nodded at Baek Younghee’s clear answer. I could trust her and leave it to her.

At that time, Baek Chang-soo seemed to have remembered something.

“It looks like a big fish has already been caught. “Did you hear about the emperor on Gaia’s side?”

“yes. I talked to As on the way.

For an instant, the Daein’s eyes turned gloomy.

“They said they were going to wipe out the remnants of Pandemonium, and then they took the kid they rescued and did the same thing to them.”

Even humans cannot know everything that happens in dozens of dimensions.

However, he had the power and information of WH Group and had tremendous connections at all levels.

Before coming here, he heard from Abraxas what the emperor of the empire had done.

“I plan to visit the empire sometime soon.”

The emperor would not be able to imagine this.

He believed that what happened to Abraxas was a joke, and that a terrible disaster would soon befall him.

“Well, it’s not urgent, so we’ll solve it later…”

Daein looked at the test takers one by one on the divided monitor.

Among them was a boy named Anjun, who lived in the same area as Lily.

“What about that kid?”

“It’s not certain yet, but there’s a high probability that he’s a spy infiltrated by Redfinger.”

“Redfinger… Those guys who conduct human experiments? “Did you find the main base?”

“Not yet, but I don’t think it will take long.”

“What are the odds that that kid knows where he is?”

“I wouldn’t have let a spy with that kind of information in here.”

“but.”

The great man nodded and looked at the boy named Anjun.

Since I happened to be in the same group as Lily, I was a little more interested.

The great man thought for a moment and said.

“Let’s raise the overall difficulty level of the final exam. “If the situation becomes urgent, something more will come out.”

Baek Chang-soo asked with a slightly worried expression.

“Are you okay? If we increase the difficulty any further, there will be a lot of dropouts…”

Daein grinned and activated the Star of Transcendence to access the WHA system.

“Wouldn’t that be enough for your true self to come out? “Hero or villain.”

-Ding ding ding ding.

After displaying the hologram and manipulating a few buttons, the atmosphere of all test rooms reflected on the monitor began to change rapidly.

Crrrrr….

Crrrrr….

The number of monsters roaming the city increased rapidly and their size doubled.

That wasn’t the only problem.

New patients began flooding in from outside the bunker.

-help! help!

-Monsters are chasing you from behind!

-Aaaah!

The test takers were seen to be very embarrassed when they saw the sudden increase in monsters and the influx of new patients.

-What’s happening all of a sudden!

-everyone! Don’t panic and stay calm!

-The rice wall collapses!

The great man crossed his arms and watched them with calm eyes.

The situation, which had barely improved, rapidly deteriorated.

There are not enough workers to treat patients, and monsters keep coming.

Outside the bunker, new patients cry and shout for the door to be opened.

Similar things were happening not only in District 8 but at all testing centers.

“Come on, kids. “What are we going to do now?”

That was a question not only for Lily, but also for all the candidates in the final exam room.
