Perilous

Chapter Three - Bring It On

Yoonji entered her classroom space once the sun begun to set, not expecting one of her students to be standing by her desk waiting for her.

"Yoonji," a voice called that she recognized, glancing up from the ground to see Nan Minji, B rank student sitting with a pouty expression.

"What ever happened to formalities between us? No Dr? No...Sage?" she smirked a bit as she put her papers down onto her desk.

"I should be the one scolding you for not being at training today. Don't you know that shit is required? You could get in a lot of trouble for that," she winked and Minji rolled her eyes with a scoff.

"Oh whatever. I was there for a little bit, but you know I like to do my training in private..." Minji said while watching Yoonji go through different papers. "Loner," Yoonji chuckled.

"I'm serious. I don't see what is such a big deal about welcoming new recruits," Minji commented which made Yoonji stop her movements and look up to her.

"It's in the hopes that one of those teams will be the next team of heroes to fight for the world. Don't you think that is important?" Yoonji asked before glancing back down. "Besides, everyone is kind of having a buzz after that Kim Taehyung kid had that mental breakdown in the middle of training."

"I don't care about that. I am sure he is like Solbi or something," Minji shrugged and Yoonji smacked her head with a stack of papers causing her to huff.

"Stop being a brat. I am still your mentor," Yoonji told while putting the papers away. "You're also my girlfriend, so you shouldn't hit me," Minji smiled and wrapped her arms around her neck as Yoonji hoisted her up onto the desk.

"Yeah...I forget that sometimes," Yoonji smirked. "No, you never forget!! You like to tease me in front of the other mentors on purpose! Because you hate me," Minji huffed.

"Hmm," Yoonji shakes her head. "Maybe."

Taehyung sat on his knees, hands curled into fists as his head was lowered. Master P.D circled around him.

"Training is a strict part of our recruitment. After all, being able to use your ability is what it takes to be a hero in the first place," Master P.D told while pacing around back and forth.

"Your outburst may not only leave physical damage, but mentally...you may not be strong enough to handle this. I may have been wrong in choosing you for this," Master P.D spoke and Taehyung stayed quiet as he licked his lips nervously.

"I don't peak into the future often, after all, time can change. But I can say, Solbi's prediction stands correct. If you truly are the future leader of heroes, following in the footsteps of legends before you, then you must be one with yourself and your power. You must gain that responsibility, you must train," he explained and Taehyung could only nod.

"I will try my best," Taehyung's voice shook slightly as he raised it.

"I don't want you to try your best. I want you to do your best. If the prophecy is true about you, then you must find the strength as a hero. The world very well may be on your shoulders, Taehyung."

Taehyung left the office, being able to see it was nighttime from the ceiling being skylights. A heavy sigh left his lips as he held himself a hug, trying to hide his embarrassment from anyone who stared at him too long.

He didn't want to be known as the guy who had a mental breakdown in front of everyone while training, he didn't even want to be known as a prophetic hero. He only wanted to be seen as himself.

When walking by the different offices, he came across Dr.Min Yoonji's, his mentor. If he was going to want to be guided, he wanted to be well trained one on one before battling others.
