I Am NOT A Hero

Chapter 19: Being a hero

Chaos.

People were running bringing their children and love ones to safety while being attacked by some monster that appeared out of nowhere near the said village, and fire and lots of blood were spilled whether it was from this ferocious beast or the ones that were less fortunate. making most of the ground became the sea of blood.

Screaming, and gushing of blood can be heard as some people who brave enough decided to fight back struggle with their situation along with some trained civilians.

though most of their effort did nothing to the stronger enemy, they still stand back up and tried to save stall time for everyone to escape, hoping that someone would come to their aid.

Some huntresses who happened to pass through the village started helping with evacuating and fending off the monster which is a relief for the people who still survive. some still insist on helping while others back off to safety despite they were lacking armor.

and with their skill...They easily kill killed them with their weapon like butter despite their numbers. Magic, combat, and their skills as well as their thoughtful made strategy; the village was able to stand with their help.

The fight was relatively easy for the huntress until...

The bigger one comes with a certain mission to do...To gather the sacrifice..., especially the box.

Herumi...in his Guardian Form. Stand form.

Ran through the woods as fast as his muscled legs could carry him accurately dodging some trees and obstacles on the way he hears the commotion going on, Screaming, and explosions, can be heard from the distance, and black smoke could be seen rising toward the sky.

Alerted by the spectacle, The Guardian increase his running speed, while he was on his thought, remembering what the...civilian have said to him.

'Please save our village!'

now He wasn't a Hero, hell he doesn't even have the desire to be one but somehow he got this power out of nowhere and it feels like cheating...but he does know that they need one that makes him feel responsible. not that he thinks he would be but...at the very least, he would go and try to fight or just look for survivors if nothing was left for him to face.

Though, he rather would just abandon them and said 'I have other things to do' or just simply lied to them.

He just can't.

He could have just left them behind by lying his way out but...

But that would not morally sit right for him. even if he was able to, the thought may hunt the hell out of him down like a hungry beast looking for its juicy prey to feast on...but why did he feel this way?

It's not his responsibility to save and protects people but...there's no one else besides him within a group that could be their Hero except him. and he has the power to do so. if he just leaves it...he might regret his decision.

a great man once said 'if the heroes run and hide, who will stay and fight?'. not that he wants to be a hero but...he just intends to help them out which doesn't need him to be a hero and just go on with his daily life like nothing after. Though that teaching was...the right thing to do...he still thought himself being unworthy of such a title...

Being a hero it's not just about punching things and the problem will bye-bye.

So...he just 'fuck it...Imma just does this and go on with my life'. and it was easier said than done knowing what will happen IF he come back late later.
