Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

"Hope Preschool… Hope Preschool… Hope Preschool…" Heero kept muttering as he held a flyer. He was looking for Hope Preschool as he really decided to be a preschool teacher.

There were many factors Heero decided to take this job. There was no need for a complicated requirement or certificate things. There was no need for him to master the weird technologies. Moreover, he also fond of children.

For now, this was the most suitable job for him in this foreign world. Though the flyer looked unconvincing, Heero still wanted to give a try. As for the pay, Heero was still not clear about the currencies in this world.

However, for a school in the outermost city, the pay of 800 WD was not big or even maybe below average. The district at the outermost city was the worst, but it still did not reach a slum level yet. The building was still decent, but it was still far worse compared to the inner city.

Heero however did not mind staying and working here. Even though the air was bad and sometimes he would smell a weird smell, this was not the worst place in his opinion. In Dramonia, there were still many places that were worse than here.

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!

Heero stopped at a colorful building. This place stood out compared to the other buildings. There were garden and playground, though the garden was really something. It almost could not be called a garden, Barren Land was maybe the right choice to describe the garden. On top of the entrance, there were two words made of steel, Hope Preschool.

Hope Preschool was easy to find as it near the North gate of Star City. Most people who lived in the North was speaking in Chinese. There would be no problem to communicate with the people here.

Heero opened the gate and entered Hope Preschool. Right in the front of the building, there was a fat middle-aged man sleeping. He was sleeping on the bench with his head looked up to the ceiling.

"Excuse me!"

Heero tried to wake the fat-middle aged man in Chinese. But the fat middle-aged did not even budge, he slept soundly.

"Tsk!"

Knowing the fat middle-aged man would not wake up no matter how many times he called, Heero got his head closer to the fat middle-aged man's neck. Afterward, he blew the fat middle-aged man's neck.

"Eyaahhh!" The fat middle-aged jolted awake as he rubbed his cold neck. Yes, the blow was not an ordinary blow, Heero used his Ki and made the blow chilly which instantly woke the fat middle-aged man.

"Uuh!! What is it? What is it just now?" The fat middle-aged man tried to look at the source of chilly wind. He felt the chilly wind was unusual. However, he could only find a young man right before him, a good looking young man.

The fat middle-aged man immediately got up which caused the excess fat on his belly dancing up and down.

"Oh, hello, I am the security of Hope Preschool, Pan Liang. Do you want to pick your… sister?" Fatty Liang greeted Heero politely. As the young man looked like in his twenty, Fatty Liang was not sure if the young man would have a daughter in his age. That was why he said if the young man wanted to pick his little sister.

Moreover, he also did not recognize this young man. He was familiar with the child's parents, but this was the first time Fatty Liang met this young man.

"Oh, no! I am not picking up my sister!" Heero waved his hand to Fatty Liang as he found Fatty Liang misunderstood him.

"I am here for this!" Then, Heero showed a flyer.

Fatty Liang got closer to the flyer. And then, he realized he misunderstood the young man. The young man came here for the job. After that, Fatty Liang scanned Heero from the top to bottom. Before he was polite, now he turned suspicious.

Meanwhile, Heero was used to this. Yes, the clothes on him were totally different from the people in this city. The clothes he wore attracted many people before, they had the same gaze as Fatty Liang, suspicion and curiosity.

"You are from outside?" Fatty Liang started his job as security. Heero was really looked suspicious with his attire. Moreover, recently, there were many cases of kidnapping and the target was the children.

"Yes, I am from outside and I am here looking for a job!" Heero replied.

"Oh, My name is Xing Heero!" Heero introduced himself to the fatty.

Fatty Liang frowned, "What a weird name!"

In the end, Fatty Liang could not make the decision for the school. Even though Heero looked suspicious, but somehow, the vibe Heero gave him was kind and amiable. However, as veteran security, Fatty Liang could not let his guard down.

"Wait here! I will call the teacher!" Fatty Liang still could not trust Heero.

Heero also aware, but he could do nothing. If he tried to prove he was a good person or the like. It would only make Fatty Liang even more suspicious. There was no good person admitted himself or herself was a good person openly, it would only make the others suspicious.

Fatty Liang entered the school and Heero took a seat on the bench as he waited for Fatty Liang.

It did not take a long time before Fatty Liang coming back. There was a middle-aged woman followed him. Heero could not guess her age based on her appearance. This was another thing confused Heero.

If this was Dramonia, this middle-aged woman supposed to be in the sixties to the eighties. But on Earth, eighty years old woman was the same as a granny in 120 years old on Dramonia.

It could be said, the people on Earth were short-lived compared to the people on Dramonia.

"Oyaah!" The middle-aged woman surprised upon seeing Heero. Heero was so young and also handsome. She just could not believe a young man like Heero was looking for a job in the outermost city.

"Are you sure you want to be a teacher here?" The middle-aged woman asked.

Heero could feel the difference between the middle-aged woman's gaze and the people he often met on the street. The middle-aged woman's gaze did not contain curiosity or suspicion, but she genuinely surprised. Though Heero did not know why she was so surprised.

"Yes, I am sure!" Heero answered enthusiastically. This was his first job, he was so excited.

"Good, you look healthy and cheerful. You have a good prospect as a preschool teacher."

The middle-aged woman voiced something unrelated to the job. Healthy and cheerful, Heero wondered if these things related to his job as a teacher. Though he thought so, Heero did not show it on his face. Instead, he nodded his head enthusiastically.

"Good! It's decided, you are accepted to work here as a teacher. You can start working tomorrow!" The middle-aged woman tapped Heero's shoulder enthusiastically.

Heero himself did not know why the middle-aged woman accepted him just like this. But he did not care, he got a job, a normal job he wanted. Heero's face was beaming with joy and hugged the middle-aged woman.

"Thank you, Aunty!"

"Hehe, good spirit, good spirit!" The middle-aged woman tapped Heero's back.

"But don't call me Aunty, you can call me Teacher Lin. Come here before 7 am, don't be late on your first day!" The middle-aged woman reminded.

"Good, Teacher Lin! I will not late, I promise!"

Heero nodded his head and head out of the Hope Preschool.

Meanwhile, Fatty Liang had unbelievable look on his face. He did not expect for Teacher Lin to accept Xing Heero, the suspicious person just like that. He thought with the help of Teacher Lin, a woman with a long experience could help him to dig a bit of information about the young man.

If Heero became unbelievably happy, Fatty Liang was unbelievably worried.

"Teacher Lin, are you not suspicious about that young man? How can you accept him just like that?" Fatty Liang questioned Teacher Lin.

He was the only security here. If there was an accident that happened in the school, he would hold the main responsibility as the main and the only security here.

"Tch, tch, tch!" Teacher Lin shook her head in disappointment as her response toward Fatty Liang, "Fatty Liang, you still need to learn more for me!"

"How come a young man with an aura like that is a bad person? There are really many things you should learn from me, Fatty Liang!"

Teacher Lin tapped Fatty Liang's left shoulder two times and entered the building, leaving speechless Fatty Liang at the entrance.

"Aura? What aura? It's fucking bullish*t aura again!" Fatty Liang cussed.

"Look like I have to work harder tomorrow, I have to keep on watch that young man!" Fatty Liang sighed as he thought his peaceful job as security would come to an end soon.

Whoosh!

"Fatty, I am going home!"

Then there was a little girl bypassed him. The little girl was running, wearing a plain blue shirt and blue skirt, and has her hair tied into twin-tail. Fatty Liang recognized the little girl, she was his friend's daughter.

"Oi! Don't run or you will be tripped…" Despite the shout from him, the little girl kept running and giggling.

"Also, you should call me Uncle Liang…" Fatty Liang added frustratedly.

…

Meanwhile, Heero who was so happy as he got an appropriate job standing still not far from the Hope Preschool. He was in deep thought.

Earlier, he was so excited as he got his first job and just left the school without much thought. But he remembered Teacher Lin said to come before 7 am. However, Heero did not know what did 7 am meant.

"Should I go back and ask Teacher Lin?"

Bugh!

At the same time, Heero heard something fell right beside him. And then, it accompanied with a child cry.

"Waaaahhh…!"

Heero saw there was a little girl wearing blue clothes and a red backpack fell right beside him.

Heero immediately picked the little girl from the ground and asked, "Are you okay?"

He asked a stupid question. He also realized the question was stupid, a little girl fell and cried, of course, she was not okay and he still asked like that.

"Hurt… hurt…" The little girl was crying as she pointed toward her knee. The left knee was bruised and the right knee was bleeding.

Heero subconsciously moved his hand to the little girl's right knee. He wanted to use his Ki to stop the bleeding and lessen the pain. However, his hand stopped his hand in the midair. After further thought, he took out a box made of bamboo from his clothes.

He opened the box and there were many golden round pills inside the box. He took one and gave it to the little girl.

"Here you are, eat this. This is sweets and if you eat this, the pain will go away!" Heero offered the golden pill with a gentle smile.

The little girl stopped crying and her teary eyes shone as she looked at the golden pill.

"Can I really take it? But my father said don't accept anything from a stranger! Big Brother, I can't take it!"

To Heero's surprise, the little girl refused the golden pill. He could see the little girl really wanted to take the golden pill.

"It's okay, it's just sweet! Also, this sweet can make the pain go away, lho~"

"Really!?" The little girl still hesitated.

Heero nodded his head with a gentle smile.

In the end, the little girl took the golden pill. She really could not refuse the temptation of the sweet aroma from the golden pill. She put the golden pill in her mouth and her pained face turned into happiness.

"It's really sweets~," The little girl thought happily.

Of course, it was just not a normal sweet. It was medicine for kids. The golden color outer pill was honey.

"Where do you live? I will deliver your home!" As Heero was afraid the little girl would fall again, he decided to deliver her home.

"My home is not far, there!" The little girl pointed her finger to a district which was not far from their location.

Heero took the little girl's hand and walked toward the district the little girl pointed out. The little girl had her guard down as she enjoyed the sweet in her mouth and followed Heero.

The district was not far, it only took a while before they entered the district. Apparently, the little girl's house was in the middle district. When both almost reached the middle district, Heero heard a ruckus ahead of him.

He saw there were five men surrounding a woman. The five men seemed to be threatening the woman as they tried to drag the woman with them. There were also many people watched this incident, but no one tried to help the surrounded woman. They just watched the event unfolded like that from the sideline.
