Unfortunate Heros Retirement Life - Chapter 304

The next day, another executive meeting was held. It was to announce their agreement over the reform.

Heero was surprised by the result. He thought they would never agree with the reform, at least, he believed more than half would not agree. Yet the result was out of his expectation.

“Then let’s carry the reform right away! Starting with the fundamentals, heroes rank!” Heero continued the meeting immediately.

The executives and the hero instructors put their ears to hear Heero’s first move.

Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue who sat next to Heero opened their laptops. Ready to take note of the essentials in the meeting.

“Wood Class Hero will be changed to Apprentice Hero! Once an individual passes the physical test, they would be called Apprentice Hero rather than Wood Class Hero! Show them what Apprentice Hero is and their treatments!”

Heero motioned his hand to Kang Seo-Yeon. The latter nodded her head and a translucent screen appeared in the middle of the long table. The screen showed a long list of the Apprentice Hero.

Basically, Apprentice Hero was the same as an intern in a company. Once they passed the physical test, they had to meet a certain condition to be a hero permanently, Iron Class Hero.

The treatment was quite poor, low fixed pay but the Hero League would dispatch the Hero Instructor to train them for free. An elixir would be distributed for free, once a month. Not only that, but a basic secret technique would also be taught to the Apprentice Hero.

One year, if in one year the Apprentice Hero failed to meet the condition. They would be kicked out of the Hero League.

The conditions were, complete 10 Iron Level Missions or 1000 Basic Missions for the Apprentice Hero, hunting fifty any Iron Level Beasts that were officially listed on the Hero League’s official site, and defeat or last at least 20 minutes in the battle against Iron Level Barrier.

Park Yong-Gi raised his hand, “May I ask, President!”

Heero nodded and motioned his hand, indicating Park Yong-Gi could speak.

“Barrier? What is this Barrier?”

Everyone looked at Heero, including Bai Xian Ming. His grandson-in-law did not speak anything about the reform, he was not consulting to him hence he also did not know.

“Just like its name, it’s the last test or barrier for a hero to raise their class. We would choose someone to be a barrier for the test, it could be a hero or a Hero Instructor or even an outsider we deem worthy to be the barrier!”

Bai Xin Yue answered on Heero’s behalf fluently.

“If this reform is implemented, the number of heroes would be reduced! The test for Silver Class or even Gold Class would be harder than this I presume?” Hanzo Sojuro opened his mouth. He did not bother with the formality and Heero did not care either.

“What the Hero League needed is not the quantity but the quality, so it does not matter!” Kang Seo-Yeon’s turn to answer.

“But the Ranker Alliance…”

“It does not matter, Executive Hanzo! Why should we care about the other organization, the Hero League is our top priority! Please don’t split your focus to another organization!” Bai Xin Yue immediately cut the old man’s words.

“Is there anything you want to ask? If there are no more questions, we will proceed with the next change!” Heero continued as he scanned the executives.

“Huh!? We haven’t reached an agreement, yet…” Hanzo Sojuro frowned.

“I don’t need the executive’s agreement to execute my plan! You have no power to do that!” Heero immediately cut the old man off and muttered under his breath, “This is why I asked the full authority…”

“This meeting is held not to ask for your agreement, but to discuss the reform! If you, the executives have some better ideas, you can speak your mind, and we will consider it! This is the purpose of this meeting!” Bai Xin Yue followed. Her words directed toward Hanzo Sojuro who seemed still delusional, thinking the executive still had the same authority as before.

Bai Xin Yue’s words silenced the meeting room instantly. Hanzo Sojuro’s eyes widened. He did not immediately refute to those words but scanned the surroundings. He was looking at the other executives’ reaction.

Everyone accepted the situation but him. He realized that the executive was no longer having power as before.

“If there’s no question, we will proceed to the next reform! Re-evaluation Heroes, we will reevaluate the heroes for their class whether they deserve to be in that class or not!”

The translucent screen in the middle of the table changed to new information. It was about the re-evaluation test for the heroes. All heroes, including the Emperor Class Heroes that totaled up to over ten thousand heroes that settled in Star City.

“What!? This is crazy? It will disrupt the Hero League’s operation if we reevaluate all heroes!” Krishna Davale was the first one to burst out.

“Executive Krishna, have you read everything to the end!? If you haven’t, then read to the end! We are not that stupid!” Bai Xin Yue responded in a cold tone.

Indeed, Krishna Davale had not read it to the end. He immediately spoke as soon as he found that all heroes had to be reevaluated. He skimmed through the content which was basically the test.

Below, it was said that the revaluation was in a batch. The first one thousand heroes that registered for the revaluation would be prioritized.

‘Huh, register? Do they think the heroes would be that stupid enough to register themselves for revaluation!’

Krishna Davale thought there would be no heroes that would apply for the revaluation. But then, at the end of the screen, there was another sentence there. The heroes’ pay would be put into hold until they passed the revaluation. Not only the pay, but all privilege given to the heroes would also be taken until they passed the revaluation.

Looking at this, he could imagine that all heroes would come to the Hero League to protest.

‘Naive! It’s not my problem anyway!”

The other executives had the same thought. The reform would not be as smooth as it seemed if such a thing was implemented.

“This… Wouldn’t it incur the heroes’ dissatisfaction?” Kang Myung-Chul said in a concerned tone.

“It’s fine, we will take care of it! Ah, if they don’t take the revaluation test in six months. Their status as Hero will be nulled!” Heero replied and added.

The executives and the Hero Instructors looked at each other. In the end, they looked at Bai Xian Ming. To their surprise, Bai Xian Ming was having his morning tea leisurely.

Just like that, everyone accepted the terms as they had no power to refuse it.

“This will be the last for today, Executive Reshuffle!” Heero continued with a bomb.

“What’s the meaning of this, President Xing!? I thought…” Moushe Eghian reacted strongly but his words were cut by Heero instantly.

“Can you listen to me until I finish, Mister Moushe!?”

With that, Moushe Eghian immediately shut his mouth.

“Executive Reshuffle means I want the 12 major forces to replace the current executives with heroes! If it’s a Hero, they will have more understanding of the Hero’s general situation. They can give more meaningful advice than someone who has never been on the battlefield!” Heero explained.

However, most of the executives interpreted it differently. It was the same as telling them “You are no use to me, so I want to change all of you!”

Before the other Executives could voice out their disagreement, Park Yong-Gi raised his hand.

“I have a better option! Why don’t we add the number of the representative to two members, an Executive and Vice Executive with one of them must a Hero, ”

“That works as well! Let’s do that!” Heero immediately agreed that left the other Executives. They thought Heero wanted to get rid of them, but it seemed he was not.

“All right, that’s for today! The Hero League will open a conference to announce the reform to the public! The citizens have the right to know as they are the one who pays us right?” Heero stood up with a clap, signaling the end of the meeting.

That was the end of the first meeting for the reform.

*** ***

White Household

One of the big forces in Star City. If the twelve major forces were taking the lead of the Hero League, White Household was the one in control of the Central Government.

White Residence

“Reform? A new President? Revaluation? What f*cking nonsense is this?” Melvin White slammed the letter he just received from the Hero League onto the table.

Melvin White the Mayor of Star City. He was the number one in the Central Government and he was furious as the Hero League never informed him anything about the reform.

“They did not even inform us about this plan!? What do they think we are? Their butler!?”

Melvin White’s secretary did not dare to look at the Mayor. His hand was sweating as he was scared inside.

Melvin’s breath ragged as he looked at the official letter in his hand. He looked at the name below the letter, Xing Heero, the new President of the Hero League.

He heard a lot about this young man, but he never expected this young man would be the sole leader of the Hero League.

‘No, I can’t let this happen! I can’t let him take full control of the Hero League now! I have to stop this nonsense reform!’

“I have to call Ryan back! Yes, I have to call him back!”

Ryan White, Emperor Class Hero – Rank 1, the strongest hero in Star City.
