Became a Human Rights Advocate

13 – Episode 4. Special Section.

“Hey, is that Lee Si-hyuk?”

I thought I heard it wrong. There can be no one in our school who would call me, that is, Lee Si-hyeok’s name in such a friendly way.

But as far as I know, I’m the only one in my school with the name Lee Si-hyeok, and now that I’m at school, they must be calling me.

“Right?”

By the syllogism I gave in my sleep, I rubbed my eyes and raised my head.

“Right. Face to face.”

“Really?”

“This is him.”

Three high school girls are whispering among themselves. It’s nice to see high school girls giggling in their prime, but I want them to laugh after telling them what’s going on.

As I stared blankly at that thought, I soon met eyes with the high school girl who first talked to me.

“Sihyuk. Then, that you went up to B rank this time, is that even true?”

Ah, that’s why I spoke.

I nodded blankly, and the three high school girls laughed happily again.

“Awesome. Really.”

“Then he was responsible for the destruction of the test site.”

“I see that our school also has B ranks.”

Listening to that laugh, I suddenly realized that I was in high school. I slept all day at school, except for the classes I was interested in.

I didn’t want to re-learn what I had learned once, so it was only natural if it was natural.

Anyway, these days my body is really tired.

Should I look into nutritional supplements when living expenses come in? I was promoted to Class B, so I can afford that much now.

“Perhaps, Sihyuk. Can I take a picture?”

One of the three high school girls said that and immediately shoved her head.

Wait a minute, I haven’t given permission yet. What is this?

Before I could say anything, a picture was taken with the sound of a cell phone smiling. What is this speed This is the power of a high school girl that I’ve only heard about… ?

“Puhahahahaha, that’s funny.”

“Hina. Isn’t that too bold?”

It’s a bit difficult to handle the tension of children in their prime.

I was just looking at the timing to sneak away, but I felt someone glaring at me from afar.

When I glanced at the direction of my gaze, a male student wearing a bandana was looking at me alternately with a female student named Hina.

Among them, the eyes toward me contain a clear line of sight.

… Take a look, kids.

I look like this on the outside, but inside I’m a much older man than you guys.

I have no intention of interfering in your love affairs.

Fortunately, the class bell rang before we got into trouble.

The topic of this lesson is the ecology of irregulars and the history of war.

Since the content was intriguing, I didn’t fall asleep during this class and listened to it properly.

As I listened with twinkling eyes, the bell rang again and it was lunchtime.

After leaving the class faster than anyone else, I sprinted towards the canteen next to the restaurant.

Meals are free if you have a student ID, and if you do not eat, you can spend a certain amount at the canteen next to the cafeteria.

As soon as I arrive at the store, I buy a sandwich and a drink and head straight for the rooftop.

It is undesirable to be caught in someone else’s love fight and suffer. For a while, I’ll have to sleep at all even during break time.

While thinking that in my head, I opened the door to the roof-

-Clap clap clap

“It’s locked.”

If it is natural, is it natural?

That’s right. The roof must be locked. Problems may arise if students wander in and out.

It’s strange that I thought I’d rather be open.

Why… ? Why did I think the roof door was open?

“Do you need a key?”

“Wow!”

I turned around in surprise at the sound I heard right behind me.

The owner of the voice is a blond-haired boy who looks like a middle school student.

But since the uniform was from our school, it must have been a freshman, not a middle school student.

“I was surprised.”

“Ah, are you surprised? Sorry. I don’t have much presence.”

“Be careful in the future. It’s basic courtesy.”

Hearing my words, the boy coughed loudly and stuck out his chest.

?

What is it? Are you a bit of a crazy person?

As I put on a dumbfounded expression for a moment at the unknown act, the boy frowned and tapped his chest.

“Nameplate.”

“A name tag?”

“Uh.”

If you look closely, the outside of the nameplate is red. That nameplate rotates by grade in the order of red, green, green, and I am blue.

“You are in the third grade.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

A boy with a bright smile as if he finally understood the language, no, a senior.

As soon as you hear the word basic courtesy, did you mean to start with respectful words?

Different from what it looks like, it looks solid.

“So again, do you need a key?”

“It is necessary… I do.”

“Then I’ll give it to you.”

The senior unlocked her rooftop door and handed me the key she used.

“I have another copy.”

“There you go again… “

Isn’t that a crime? I barely swallowed the words and opened the door to the rooftop. The cool air swept over my body, and I found my seat and sat down.

But the senior followed me and sat next to me.

What is it?

It’s quite burdensome.

“May I ask you some questions?”

“Yes?”

“I gave you the key, so I didn’t ask for anything in return or anything like that. I have a few questions.”

Ah. Everyone had a plan.

A few questions. There is no particular reason to refuse. It’s insignificant compared to getting the free use of the rooftop.

“Yes, well.”

“Oh really? Thank you.”

The senior smiled brightly and took out her notebook and a pen from her pocket. Only then did I guess what this senior was doing.

Only newspaper departments. As Ju Ji-young said, it seems that as soon as the rumor spread, he came straight to the news.

By the way, it’s not recording or typing, it’s handwriting. You’re a really analog person who doesn’t fit in Academia.

“First of all, congratulations on being in the B grade. He’s the first B-class talent in our school.”

“Is that so?”

The senior nodded her head.

“Right. When you reach C grade, you usually transfer to a school that specializes in developing abilities. The degree of support is different, and the curriculum is completely different. More than anything, didn’t all the students who came to this academia dream of becoming ‘heroes’?”

Oh. Hero.

This name is finally coming out.

Hero. It refers to a person who has been certified by the Association of Skilled Persons and is active in various parts of the world.

After the Great Invasion of the Irregular, the administrative capabilities of each government were noticeably weakened. To the extent that non-city areas are virtually turned into lawless areas.

Heroes appeared to fill the gap in administration.

The title of hero is given to those who have proven their qualifications by passing a rigorous test among talented people, and dispatches them to all directions.

They are in charge of maintaining public order in each region and exterminating the irregulars.

In short, the sheriff from the Westerns has been revived as a 21st century version.

However, those heroes rarely appeared in the story of Legend of Academia. Because most of the story took place within Academia.

The only heroes I met in the academia were a few teachers who were former heroes.

There were really occasional events outside of Academia. Las Vegas events, Hawaii events and things like that. There, it was such an event to help a local hero or to dispel a related conspiracy.

“I also dreamed of becoming a hero when I first came here… , I will already be graduating next year. Si-hyeok, are you going to transfer soon too?”

“Sure, well.”

3 Years after the service of Legend of Academia. In terms of time, it took about a year and a half.

So it means that after 18 months, the limit of the information I know will be reached.

I only recently made up my mind on how to live after that.

“Because I plan to be a hero too.”

“I see. That’s cool.”

The senior smiled bitterly, then held up his notebook again and asked me.

“To get to the point… Shihyuk, did you also use ‘that’ during the ability test?”

“That one?”

“Yes, that. Don’t pretend you don’t know.”

That’s it. If it’s ‘that’ that will come out a week after the ability test is over, there’s only one thing that comes to mind.

Especially if it comes from this context.

But I put on an expression that I couldn’t understand what he was talking about.

I can guess what you’re talking about, but pretending to know it here might lead to some strange articles.

Academy Student Daily is a yellow press with severe severity. Even that senior, who seems like a nice person, doesn’t know which novelist will possess when writing an article.

I have to keep the attitude of not knowing what I mean here as much as possible.

Fortunately, my acting worked, and the newspaper club senior scratched her hair.

“Well, I guess not.”

“Please let me know what you are talking about.”

At that time, there was a hum and vibration in my pocket.

Assuming you’re the one who’s going to message me at this hour… About a hundred cows?

I picked up my phone thinking, “What kind of nonsense are you trying to say again?” However, the person who sent the message was completely different from what I expected.

Joo Joo-young: Special department, gathering after school.

“Have you not heard? A story about ‘boosters’ that have been circulating around prestigious families these days.”

Suddenly,

It was time for the next episode.
