I Never Wanted To Be a Hero

Chapter 9

"Ummm... why am I supposed to save him??" Yujin asked.

Katarina started walking towards Yujin. Yujin realized that she was about to slap him. He tried to equip a Heat Force at his left cheek to reduce the damage. Katarina raised her hand and tried to hit Yujin. However, Yujin noticed the whole classroom watching them. Despite seeing them as trees, Yujin still received sudden headaches, which eventually faded the Heat Force. With the Heat Force gone, he directly took the slap on his cheek.

Suddenly, he could see a blurry light that was going back and forth. Like that of a train. Yujin woke up with Nurse Emilia flashing light on his eyes.

"Hello, Yujin. It's been around 14 months, I guess?"

"Oh, hello, miss Emilia."

"Ahahaha! It's funny how, after a 14-month break, you dropped by here the first day."

"Aaaaaaaah, yeah."

"Miss Luna'rivos hit you, right? They said you were knocked down in one shot. You must've underestimated a royalty's abilities. Even if the Rivos is just a branch family of the Luna'freias, the Lunas are still the second to the strongest clans in Aruka. Therefore, even if it were a kid from a branch family, that kid would definitely knock you down in one shot."

"Yeah, well, I'm the living proof."

"But there's something that I found something strange about you. It seems your body changed so much compared to yours 14 months ago. If Katarina attacked you, way before you might've stayed here for the whole day."

"Huh? What?"

"Her attack did knock you out, but it barely damaged your face. I only did minor healing on you, you can leave right now."

"Ummm, I guess my body has to adjust to survive after falling into the lava pit."

"Almost everything about you changed. Your height. Your bones. And many other things that I couldn't examine."

"I did notice my resistance. I could now run straight for at least 10 hours. But I didn't think much about my physical appearance."

Miss Gorgeous appeared,

"Really, you're wondering about what happened to your body? It's the product of your hard work, kid! Nothing to worry about that."

After hearing that, Yujin looked at Emilia, and then he laughed. Miss Gorgeous said,

"But you better get out of here now, Yujin. She's from an Ark branch family. As of now, I can't read her thoughts. But I knew she already discovered a lot more than she should. For the record, you were knocked out for just 5 minutes. With that small amount of time, she already observed and deduced a lot of information from you. I told you that you needed to keep this miracle as possible. You don't know what's coming for you."

"Alright! Miss Emilia, I better return to class now!"

"Awwwww, your improvement is interesting, I want to know more but then, yeah, you missed a lot of things while you were out. Go on."

Yujin then walked out of the clinic. While walking the hall, he passed an intersection with another group of students also crossing. As both Yujin and the students passed each other, Yujin recognized someone. One of them was a slim and tall man. It was Chadwick. Right in front of him. Yujin just continued walking. Chadwick felt a strange feeling. He stopped and looked back at the intersection, but Yujin is no longer there.

"I thought I saw somebody I know."

"Why, dude? Did you know a junior?"

"Woah, dude, did you know somebody? Is she a girl? Come on, man, introduce her to us?"
