Volume 8 – Motive
Chapter 3
“Haha, don’t think too hard on it. Just do it like you did before.”
Don’t think too hard on it, he says.
However, Haneul turned his gaze elsewhere. Through the windows, he could see over 10 researchers. They were busily talking with each other with a serious expression, and staring at the monitor.
Haneul placed his hand on top of something, and began to pour his mana into it. Before, he was told to focus on his mana, so he was very nervous. He wasn’t used to this thing called ‘mana’ at the time. However, now it was different. He had been engaged in many battles thereafter, and he was used to utilizing his mana now.
Ring.
As the sound rang out, the results were shown.
Haneul’s face changed in a weird way.
It was because of the result that was shown on the huge monitor.
<You are a Rank A.>
It clearly said that he was Rank B before. That’s why, Haneul had thought that he was Rank B, and that there was no mistake about it. Yet, his numbers now showed that his Rank had gone up by one.
‘When I was deemed as Rank B before, the overall result from the tests resulted in me being Rank A. Then does that mean, I’m one level above that now? I can’t possibly be Rank S.’
In the midst of Haneul’s turmoil, many conversations were being discussed from inside.
Haneul waited until the discussions were over.
<I apologize. You’ve waited quite long. Please take the inspection test next.>
As Haneul waited with a blank expression for 5 minutes, he suddenly heard YooShik’s voice.
He then went into the next room, and proceeded to take the test as instructed. It was a test that he had skipped through before, but this time, he had to take every test.
It was a complex test that proved one’s evading abilities, instant emission of mana, detecting capabilities, etc.
And, for the last test.
<You just have to hit the target in front of you.>
“As hard as I can?”
<No. You are currently a Rank A Hero, Silver Knight. This means that you have the ability to destroy any normal building with one hit. If you were to use your full strength, do you think that machine would be able to take it?>
YooShik quickly added.
“Then how do you want me to hit it.”
As Haneul grumbled, he clenched his fist. Suddenly, a Silver Armor appeared and covered his right arm.
“Then is half my strength okay?”
<That should be okay.>
At that moment, a light turned on from the thing that looked like a punching machine, as it came to a stop in front of Haneul.
Haneul was troubled. He knew how to hit as hard as he could and with all of his strength, but he wasn’t sure on how to hold back his strength and use only half of his power.
‘Would this be enough?’
Haneul slowly pulled his fist back.
Bang!
The building shook.
The HQ of the Hero Organization was constructed in a special way, and was normally made to mitigate damage. Especially with the 4th floor, since such tests had to be administered, it was constructed to be many times thicker and sturdier than the other parts of the building.
“Such dangerous strength.”
Mumbled YooShik.
The machine was completely destroyed, and without an end, the ceiling and floor seemed to have been ripped apart. The sudden emission of heat energy caused the earth and sky to burn. Thankfully, the walls were created with material that was able to resist against fire.
“Damn it. The other departments are going to have a mouthful of things to say.”
YooShik scratched his head.
Suddenly, a researcher that was sitting in the back and was wearing a white gown, approached YooShik. The man who looked to be in his mid-30’s, was Dr. SungIl An from the laboratory in the basement of the HQ building.
“It seems that I have made a mistake. If I knew this Hero had such immense abilities, we should have tested him outside instead of inside.”
“Yes, I was just thinking that myself. By the way, have the numbers come out?”
“Since the machine wasn’t able to take the impact, I can’t say that the numbers are exact.”
Dr. SungIl An laughed as if it was absurd.
YooShik stared at the monitor.
And, then he laughed as if it was absurd.
“Ha…….”
The specific numbers had passed a certain level.
A red graph showing a vertical rise.
And, it’s overall results showing the numerical value of Rank S.
