The student academy crowds the announcement board in the hallway as they look at the recent news about The Guardian. it was a mouth gapped to see...

The paper news described how powerful he is and maybe can match a war maiden and maybe surpass them...as he killed the most Dangerous Dragon from the north...Neptune dragon by a mere punch that makes the cloud split in two...

It was also said that people from the far south island were able to see the phenomenon, and just recently know about The Guardian and many huntresses and Elite Warrior looking for him while some of them also wanting to challenge him in spar...

and everyone talks about him wondering who this man is, where he comes from, even making a theory about him...

---

'What a fine day' Herumi tiredly walked to the class and yawned but was stopped when he spot students crowding the announcement board. while he doesn't care about most of the things going on here, he was still curious about what was written on the board...

decided to take a look, he heads over it and...he hears everyone talking about The Guardian, and was too busy to notice his presence.

"Look, there's a quest as well for all huntresses and War Maiden"

Herumi just look with a blank stare as he got interested in the said quest...of course, he would expect them to look for The Guardian...

at this point, Herumi doesn't care at the moment since he was still exhausted from yesterday's event...he doesn't even know what happened in this academy when he's gone...

"Looking for the guardian, and recruit him if it possible...anyone who was able to do so will receive a great reward from both guild huntress and The kingdom..."

Herumi almost gasped...his face was shadowed as soon as he hears it...now he was sure that they have sent someone to look and put a price on him...ALL OF THEM is something that he wouldn't expect to happen.

expect the unexpected...still doesn't make sense...but it did.

It's still understandable considering he's hiding his identity and doing some work while he was looking for a chance to escape, which is rather easy, thanks to his time-stop ability...but even so, he can't underestimate them and be too careful with the situation...

easier said than done but he did well apparently...for now.

'I just want to help, after all...still though...is this the right choice?'

Herumi sighed in exhaustion, and his classmate and other students were too busy talking about the Guardian but a few of them had noticed him. 

"Hey, you're Herumi, right?"

The exhausted blue-haired man just walked off to the class not before getting a stare and whispered about him by passing students.

The male doesn't mind it as much but is still curious about why he became a topic to gossip about. sure he was able to do the dungeon on the first floor before but he doesn't think that big achievement. what you need is a skill to fight and no mana is required as the monster isn't an as strong monster in general.

'maybe because I was talking to Ma Dai and was called by Cao Cao the other day...it was wonderful' he sarcastically thought.

'Still, though, that woman use my footage to...ugh... never mind...'

Snapping his eyes open herumi walked into his class and gained everyone's attention. too lazy to respond, Herumi walk to his seat and planted his face flat on the table...

'I want to sleep ~ ' He internally said, while covered using his arms as a pillow.

"Herumi?" Diaochan's voice called out as she stare at Herumi with a blank expression on her face. she was frustrated that he was calm as the waves on the sea, while his parents worried to death yesterday.
