Volume 8 – Motive
Chapter 1
The elevator stopped at the 1st floor.
Haneul got on the elevator.
As the doors were about to close, a leg quickly shot in to block them from closing.
“I’m sorry.”
The doors opened again.
Haneul slightly moved to the side and opened his eyes wide.
“Minah?”
“Haneul……”
Wearing comfortable clothes and a brown leather jacket, Minah stood in front of Haneul with a slightly hardened face.
“Why are you here……”
“……..What do you mean why? I told you. I’m a Hero too.”
“Oh yeah, that’s right.”
As Haneul still wore a surprised expression, Minah got onto the elevator with a composed face. She then calmly pressed the floor number she was heading towards.
“You seem to have been summoned to take a retest?”
“That’s right.”
This was the end of their conversation.
Although Haneul wanted to speak with her more, Minah was radiating an aura saying ‘do not speak to me so lightly’.
‘What should I do.’
As Haneul was lost in thought, he scratched his head. As he did, the elevator stopped on the 4th floor.
Before Haneul could say anything, Minah quickly got off and Haneul followed after. On the 4th floor of the Hero Organization’s HQ, Heroes were tested on their talent and ability. It was a place where Haneul had come to before.
At the entrance of the examination room, a researcher with a white coat on, saw the 2 and greeted.
“Hello there. Silver Knight, sir. Silver Witch, ma’am.”
Haneul’s eyes went wide with surprise. Silver Knight was himself, so Silver Witch must have been Minah that was standing next to him.
‘Minah’s Hero name…….”
Now that he thought about it, he had never asked Minah what her Hero name was.
Silver Witch. It wasn’t bad.
However, the problem was that their Hero names seemed to be names for couples.
As Haneul slightly glanced to the side, Minah’s brows were heavily furrowed and her face was flushed.
She was embarrassed.
“Do not ask me anything. This was normally your idea. You were the one that wanted to match our names like this, even though I had told you that I didn’t want to several times.”
Haneul had tried to hold himself from laughing, but staring and Minah, he couldn’t himself in any longer and laughed out loud.
“Don’t laugh! I told you not to laugh!”

Following the researcher inside, the 2 of them went further into the testing room and into the conference room. A completely white room. YooShik was inside drinking an aromatic coffee.
Within the conference room, there were 2 other people, excluding Minah and Haneul.
Haneul’s face slightly changed.
It was because the 2 other people were acquaintances of Haneul.
“You’ve come.”
Seeing Haneul, YooShik quickly got up from his seat and warmly greeted him.
As he did, the 2 people that had arrived first, turned their heads.
1 of them was JoongHyun Kim, or Ironman.
And, the other was MinHee Joo. Seeing the 2 walk in, her eyes naturally turned towards Haneul. Then, her eyes suddenly grew wide like a rabbit’s as her expression became perplexed.
“Silver Knight?”
“How……”
“Are you really Silver Knight?”
MinHee smiled brightly and walked towards Haneul without hesitation.
The appearance of her screaming out of terror was now completely gone. She had changed so much that, if they had passed each other on the streets, he would not have recognized her.
“Can you tell me what exactly happened?”
Haneul stared at YooShik as he asked.
Although it could have just been a coincidence to have met with Minah today, only the people Haneul was acquainted with were gathered here.
“Now, it seems like everyone has arrived, so can you please sit down first? I will now begin to explain why I have asked for everyone to gather here today.”
The 4 people were waiting for YooShik to continue speaking.
“Before I get started, there’s something I need to tell you first. This information hasn’t been released yet, but MinHee, who was a civilian and had gone through the incident at the Hospital from before, has awakened to her powers and has now become a new Hero candidate. Even if I say this, she still needs plenty of training, so she will not be able to get in any field work yet.”
“She will be?”
Haneul’s face was filled with confusion, as if he couldn’t understand anything.
Even with the state of things, if she had awakened to magic internally, there was no way for her to not have realized it. Haneul knew because he was the one that had saved her.
“There’s no way that’s possible. There definitely wasn’t anything that I could sense from her, so how did she……..”
Haneul focused his senses, and when he did, he had surprisingly found a high amount of power radiating off of MinHee. It was a power that was unadulterated and innocent.
‘How?’
