Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Chapter 305: I Hate Him

The second-floor Lounge, Heero Academy

All the first generation of Heero Academy's disciples were watching the big screen. The Hero League opened a conference to announce the big reform.

From the Wood Class Hero changed into Apprentice Hero or people in the live chat called them as Intern Hero.

Bai Xin Yue was the one who announced the reform and what the Hero League would do in the first step of the reform.

Various kinds of reactions could be seen in the live chat. Many saw this in a favorably light but not a little who did voice out their disagreement through the live chat.

Kim Hyun-Su was enjoying his lunch while watching the live chat on his smartwatch. The live chat was more interesting than the announcement itself for him.

Different from Ye Zhun who watched the big screen with a hooked expression. He looked straight at the Bai Xin Yue with a love-struck expression. He was one of many fans of Bai Xin Yue, after all.

"Oi, wake up! She is our Master's wife!" Kim Hyun-Su who noticed Ye Zhun's expression slapped Ye Zhun's head lightly.

"I know! But you can't stop me from admiring my idol!" Ye Zhun snorted in return.

"Tsk, what a hopeless guy, " Kim Hyun-Su then turned to the other side, looking at Benjamin. Since his return from the kingdom, Benjamin changed.

As someone who often communicated with the second prince, Kim Hyun-Su could tell that his friend changed. Especially this morning, Benjamin was usually excited each time Heero came to check them. However, this morning, Benjamin was especially quiet.

'Maybe because of his father's death!?' Kim Hyun-Su guessed in his head.

But then he shook his head again, he remembered this morning's event. His friend's gaze toward his Master this morning, disappointment and hatred?

'Oh, does the change relate to the attack on the kingdom!?'

He heard the complete story from his father. His Master was the one who wiped out the specter's army the moment of the giant appeared. He even watched the footage when his Master turned into a flame bird and wiped all specters with Divine Flame.

It was what people called, Divine Flame. Healing the injured and burning the damned or specters.

However, his Master did this only after the King's death. If his Master acted earlier then

'Don't tell me he hates Master because of that?'

It was understandable because if someone did not know Master well, they thought Master was a benevolent man who loved to help people. They would be disappointed when Master did not live up to their expectations.

'Maybe he' Kim Hyun-Su looked at Benjamin who was actually playing with his meal.

"Benjamin!" Kim Hyun-Su called out and Benjamin turned toward him listlessly.

"Do you have time? I want to talk about something with you, "

"Huh!?" Benjamin blinked his eyes in confusion. He looked Kim Hyun-Su in the eyes and found the latter seemed to have something serious to talk about with him.

'I wonder what he wants to talk about!?'

"Sure, " Benjamin nodded readily.

"Hey, Ye Zhun! You also follow me, " Kim Hyun-Su did not forget to call his other friend.

Amongst the first generation disciples, Kim Hyun-Su was close to these two guys. They were friends and also rivals at the same time. Of course, everyone was a friend but these two were the closest friends to Kim Hyun-Su.

"Huh!? Me!? I don't want to, Master will make his speech soon as the new President of the Hero League. I don't want to miss this glorious event!" Ye Zhun shook his head as he motioned his hand to Kim Hyun-Su to leave without him.

Bai Xin Yue might be his idol, but his Master was the person he admired the most. Kim Hyun-Su certainly knew about this and in fact, Heero was someone he looked up as well aside from his Great Grandfather.

Kim Hyun-Su secretly glanced toward Benjamin. The latter gritted his teeth and clenched his hand tightly as he and Ye Zhun talked about their Master.

"Nope, you have to follow us! I will borrow you my smartwatch to watch Master's speech! Just follow us now!" Kim Hyun-Su forcefully dragged Ye Zhun while the latter complained.

In the end, Kim Hyun-Su brought his two friends into his room. By this time, Heero had started his speech, and Ye Zhun was watching the live speech through the smartwatch.

The three sat in a round table, Kim Hyun-Su looked toward Benjamin.

"Do you hate Master!?" Kim Hyun-Su straightforwardly asked Benjamin.

Ye Zhun who watched the smartwatch immediately raised his head, looking toward Benjamin with an unbelievable expression on his face. He blinked his eyes a few times before he turned back toward Kim Hyun-Su.

"What are you talking about, Hyun-Su!? There's no way Benjamin would hate"

Before Ye Zhun could finish his words, Benjamin gave his answer, "Yes, I hate him!"

"Huh!?" Ye Zhun looked at Benjamin with his widened eyes. He could not believe what he just heard.

"But why?" Ye Zhun blurted out.

"Because Master did not fight for the Regal Kingdom! He hates Master because he blamed Master for his father's death!" It was Kim Hyun-Su who answered Ye Zhun.

"That's right! He has the power to save people! He has the power to save the kingdom! But what did he do? Staying inside a building to protect his safe family!? That was f*cking just ridiculous!!!" Benjamin burst out in rage.

"If only If only he made his move earlier, do you think my father would die?" Benjamin looked at Kim Hyun-Su with his reddened eyes.

"As I thought" Kim Hyun-Su murmured.

Then, the room turned quiet for a moment. What could be heard was Benjamin's heavy breathing.

"I don't have the right to say this actually because I am not in your position. I understand it must be devastating to lose your father. Me too, I might go crazy if I suddenly lose my father, but it's not right to blame someone for that!"

Ye Zhun looked Benjamin into the eyes, "Especially our Master, he was not the killer! It was not like Master knew your father would die either, and did nothing! You should not hate him for that, Benjamin, "

"But if" Benjamin tried to speak up but he could not find the right words to speak.

Ye Zhun shook his head and suddenly asked, "Do you remember our first-day training in this academy?"

Benjamin frowned, trying to recall the day.

"That day, he asked us "What's your purpose to get stronger?" in the Martial Hall, do you remember?" Ye Zhun tried to imitate Heero's voice when he repeated the question.

Kim Hyun-Su and Ye Zhun nodded their heads. They remembered and that time, everyone was basically having the answer, "Hero!" while Benjamin kept his answer in his heart, "To be a knight that would protect the kingdom!".

"That day, my answer is a Hero. I answered I want to be a strong Hero just like Senior Brother Zhou Yi! But that doesn't matter, do you remember Master's words after hearing our answer?"

Kim Hyun-Su and Benjamin exchanged a glance. They could not remember this.

"He said "I have the same answer as you guys when I was young, but it changed after I lost my lover and my friends. I don't want to be a Hero but I just want to protect my closest one. That's the purpose of my power!", "

Kim Hyun-Su and Benjamin still did not get what Ye Zhun wanted to tell them.

"Can't you imagine? Despite having the power to protect his closest ones but Master could not protect them? Could you imagine how painful it was?" Ye Zhun continued in a low voice.

Silence filled the room, Benjamin could not refute that and he started to understand what Ye Zhun wanted to tell him.

"Master's action is understandable, at least to me. Despite the enormous power he has, don't forget, Master is also a human just like us! He's not a God, he has his feelings and he has his past as well!" Ye Zhun continued with his view.

'Huhu This is why I want to bring him with me to speak with Benjamin. He's quite useful in this regard!'

"That was why" Out of sudden, Kim Hyun-Su chimed in while nodding his head.

Benjamin and Ye Zhun looked toward Kim Hyun-Su. They wanted to know what he was talking about.

"Do you remember the specter's attack in the core region? My Grandfather told me Master did not join the battle. He rushed back to the Xing District instead of helping the heroes to fight against the specters!"

Benjamin was startled when he heard this from Kim Hyun-Su's mouth. He did not know about this.

"Ah, no, he's actually the one who discovered the specters in disguise and started to kill them. But he went back home afterward. After hearing Ye Zhun now I begin to understand Master's choice!"
