The Villain Professor of Heroes

33 – That was it (14)

When you can’t figure out the situation, it’s best to keep your mouth shut until the other person can provide more information.

I looked at the advisory chairman without saying anything, and he said.

“Tell me, professor. How far do you remember?”

“well.”

At the ambiguous answer, the advisory chairman with a stern expression smiled.

It seemed to mean to tell the truth and not to do something insignificant.

Yu Hee-Won’s characteristic ridicule must have been inherited from her father.

“If I hadn’t remembered, I wouldn’t have come here.”

The intentions of the advisory chairman are still unknown.

I don’t know if it’s a situation where I’m thinking about it first, but when I saw someone ask how far I remembered first, I shouldn’t say anything carelessly.

“Look, Professor. No… Graysteel.”

“You know my callsign.”

“Everyone knows. You can’t not know.”

The advisory chairman gave a low laugh as he slapped his knee with his palm to make a cracking sound.

“It looks like they figured out that Han Tae-woo and Seo Ji-ah were on the same team.”

The names of Han Min-ha’s parents…

As expected, that person was Secreto, and the parents of Han Min-ha and I were also Secreto.

What I saw in the archives at that time was not a fanciful delusion, but a real fact.

“Tell me, Suhyeon. How far did you remember?”

Before I knew it, the chairman of the advisory committee spoke rudely, and the title for me also changed.

“The reason why you don’t answer is probably because you don’t trust me. It looks like a powerful person from a secret organization continues to question the past.”

Knowing exactly what I was thinking, the advisory chairman slowly took a sip of the tea.

“But trust me. Only then can I tell you what you want.”

“What do I want?”

“That strange dream you keep having. Something about it.”

In an instant, I strengthened my mental barrier even more.

Maybe you’re using mind reading?

There is a saying that among heroes, there are very few people who use such a rare ability.

It’s just a rumor, but since the special abilities of heroes are expressed so unspecified, there’s no law that they don’t exist.

However, I have mental barrier, the ultimate defensive skill.

This mental barrier can block any mental damage coming from outside.

And most importantly, there was no feeling of any other attack coming in.

In other words, the advisory chairman already knew that I was dreaming.

But I’ve never told anyone about the dream.

What the hell… How does the advisory chairman know that?

“It must be embarrassing. The fact that I know that far.”

“It’s common to have dreams.”

“But it’s not uncommon to have periodic dreams of screaming at a falling meteor, isn’t it?”

Gee… everybody knows.

Seeing my expression, the advisory chairman spoke lowly.

“I know this far, and I have opened all the information. Now tell me everything, Professor Hyungwon.”

“First, let me ask you one thing. Was I Secreto?”

“It was Secretto.”

“okay…”

The advisory chairman already knows everything about me.

He is the only one who can tell me about my past.

And there were many things I wanted to ask him.

In order to do so, the first thing to do is to answer the questions of the advisory chairman.

* * * * *

I’ve told you everything

While meeting Minha Han, strange texts suddenly came to mind.

Hearing the names of Han Min-ha’s parents, his mental barrier almost collapsed.

Starting with that, I started having strange dreams over and over again.

I saw the vision in the archives while doing a background investigation about Han Min-ha’s parents to solve her difficulties.

It turns out that Han Min-ha’s parents were on a team with me in the past.

The advisory chairman stayed silent until my story was over.

“That’s it.”

“Right.”

The advisory chairman picked up a teacup, realized that it had already run out, and stood up.

He ordered the tea to be brought back through the interphone at his desk, and sat back down on the sofa.

“What about Hanminha?”

“Didn’t you hear everything from your daughter?”

“No. He rarely talks to me about the academy. He never called me except to press the academy to make you choose him as your advisor.”

yes, still At that time, it must have been Yoo Hee-won’s work.

“So, you don’t know how to use the aura that you are afraid of?”

“Yes. I don’t know what the problem is, but I can only assume it’s because of the disappearance or death of my parents.”

“Yes. That’s a reasonable guess. Are you saying you’re going to make such a kid an S-class…”

The advisory chairman rested his elbow on the armrest and rubbed his temple with his fingertips.

“Then tell me what I’m curious about.”

“I should. But before that, I’ll ask you one thing too.”

“Yes.”

“Are you satisfied with your teaching life?”

A question with an unknown intent.

There are two appropriate responses to this question.

Keep your mouth shut or laugh.

“hahahaha. What…”

“Hmm. I see.”

The chairman of the advisory board didn’t have any big doubts about my answer.

“Okay, Professor Gyo-hyeon. You’re curious about the past anyway, and it’s expected that you’ll experience various difficulties because of it, so it’s only right to tell everyone here.”

Just then, an employee brought out a new car.

This time it was cool green tea, not hot tea.

After drinking a few sips of tea and quenching his throat, the advisory chairman opened his mouth.

“You came to Secretto right after graduating from Grafford. I picked you because I thought you would be useful because you’re a hero specializing in defense techniques that no one cares about.”

“You were a supporter.”

“Yes. It was the role of protecting the team members from behind. And as you know, I worked as a team with Han Tae-woo and Seo Ji-ah for quite a long time.”

This is just a guess, nothing special.

I waited silently for the advisory chairman’s next words.

“Unlike other teams, the three of you were very close to each other. To the extent that people who don’t know each other would think they were siblings. However, for unknown reasons, the team disbanded as Han Tae-woo and Seo Ji-ah died.”

“Han Min-ha’s parents… they didn’t disappear, they died.”

“Of course. If that’s not the case, why would the survivor’s pension go to that child?”

“By the way… You said it was for unknown reasons. Is there something the Administration Bureau doesn’t know?”

“Isn’t that obvious? If I had known everything, I would have wiped out all the villains’ hideouts right away.”

Bad luck.

While researching my past, I wanted to know what happened to Han Min-ha’s parents, and if so, how they died.

“The Administration still can’t figure out what the hell caused your team to be helpless. But you just recalled your memory, so we have something to check.”

“You’re asking me to tell you the circumstances at that time. I’m sorry, but I don’t remember that.”

“Maybe something comes to mind when you see the body cam.”

yes, that’s right

Heroes wear body cameras on their suits.

It is used for various purposes such as leaving a record of mission performance and using it for the purpose of covering the right or wrong when an accident or civilian damage is caused, as well as identifying the battle patterns of the villains and setting up countermeasures.

The videos I showed the freshmen during the basic evaluation are all body cam videos of dead heroes.

Han Min-ha fainted when he saw that.

He must have been shocked to think that his parents must have died that way too.

If it is a video of Han Min-ha’s parents’ end, it is well worth it.

Of course, there will be my body cam video as well.

There is nothing to lose by looking at it.

“I’ll take a look.”

The advisory chairman brought a laptop and put it on the table.

He inserted a cryptographic module into the USB port, scanned his fingerprint, and went through several security procedures before accessing the system he had never seen before.

It’s probably the secret system Secretto uses.

There, the advisory chairman also accessed a certain folder by entering the password and authentication key several times through a complicated path.

A folder in which video files are categorized.

Body cam footage documenting Secreto’s secret activities.

“Can I keep this important… on file?”

“Then do you make videos like the old way, write down charts by hand and store them in an underground bunker? It’s the trend of the times.”

“Ah, yes.”

The advisory chair went into a subfolder, scrolled down, and stopped at a file.

Only the date was written in the file name, and nothing else was written.

Even on the thumbnail, ‘TOP SECRET’ was written on a black background, but there was no way to guess what it was.

“It’s a total of three videos. Watch carefully and refresh your memory.”

The advisory chairman opened the first file.

Snow-covered rugged mountains unfolded on the laptop screen.

It was a view from the sky.

Peaks and ridges rapidly descended from top to bottom of the screen, as if they were in flight.

It was then that I heard what sounded like a crackling radio.

[Report on the current status of each team member.]

The moment I heard that voice, I remembered the fantasy in the archives.

It is the voice of Han Tae-woo, Han Min-ha’s father.

[Velvet Butcher. Altitude good. Azimuth good. Good vital signs.]

This is her mother Seo Ji-ah.

[Graysteel. no problem.]

and this is my voice

It was a little unfamiliar because it was the voice I heard with my own ears, but the call sign and me were clear.

[Hey, you bastard. Aren’t you officially watching? Who wants to do it abbreviatedly?]

Han Tae-woo radioed in a playful voice.

[Are you taking discipline now, senior?]

I match him.

Hmm… The me of the past… Unlike now, there was a little bit of a bright side.

[Both of you, be quiet. A biological reaction is detected behind that peak.]

Seo Ji-ah interrupted and silenced us.

[If you go on like this, you will be exposed right away. How about landing here and walking?]

[great. Power landing.]

The angle of the body camera shifted, and the mountains and the sky came into the screen at the same time.

As I slowly descended, the mountain range got closer and soon the screen flickered slightly with the sound of stepping on the snow and stopped.

“See the mountain over there? It’s behind it.”

From the left side of the screen, Seo Ji-ah’s arm in a suit came out and pointed at the precipitous rocky mountain in front.

“Then let’s walk. We can go and see the situation and start right away.”

On the right, Han Tae-woo, also wearing a suit, walked in front of Hwi-jeok.

“It’s a mission to eat raw after a while, so let’s go slowly.”

“When were you diligent?”

“Would you like to see what that bastard really says to his senior?”

We moved to the target mountain, stepping on the ice caps that came up to our ankles.
