The Hero

Volume 5 – Silver Knight

Chapter 11

The current Organization was under the command of the minister. However, the minister only made big decisions here and there, while the rest of the decisions were made within the Organization. And recently, these decisions made from within have been made pretty well.

However, the higher ups have been complaining that the Organization has been incompetent recently with the things that have occurred in the most recent Earthquake.

There were reasonable grounds for it though, because in this recent Earthquake, the Organization made naive and inadequate responses. The Earthquake level was decided to be Level A in the beginning, but as the situation unfolded, the Level was changed to S internally.

It was already hard to miss a Level S Earthquake, yet the people responsible for checking the magic levels deemed it to be a Level A. There were no excuses that they could've made in front of the cold hard facts.

Not only that, but these mistakes weren’t the first.  Similar to the Rank C Level Earthquake that happened before. In reality it was much worst, and a huge disaster would’ve happened if the Rank B Heroes weren’t deployed. Wouldn’t there have been a huge amount of casualties?

Fortunately, a Hero was able to awaken in the midst of all that chaos and prevented the situation from getting any worse than it already was.

“Chet.”

The Chairman of the Organization got in deep trouble when he was present at the recent Minister meeting. It was something he had to bear, but he could not control his anger for he was a human being.

“Summon all the Directors.”

The Chairman wanted to rest today because of the stress and headache he had, but there wasn’t the time to do that. Two Earthquakes occurred in the span of a couple of days. The frequency of these Earthquakes weren’t shocking, but the problem was its contents.

Before an hour even pa.s.sed, all of the Directors were gathered inside the Chairman’s office. Every one of them had a disheveled look to them.

“I’m sure you guys know why I called you guys here today. I should have told you in the meeting we had two days ago.”

The Chairman proceeded with his talk.

Meetings were always this sudden, and there weren’t any formalities. This meeting continued on without any freedom to any of the Directors.

“If I may…..I feel that that time has come again.”

“That time you say…….”

“Yes, the operations division also thinks this way, and they should be able to make a decision once they’re able to a.n.a.lyze two more Earthquakes. There’s definitely something happening in the Outlands though. As everyone should already know regarding the Earthquake that occurred in the 1st city, of the East Area recently, several complex ent.i.ties appeared. There were 3 different types of ent.i.ties, 2 of which were the typical Level A monsters, the Giants and Hounds, and the other type was the main character for the Level S Earthquakes, Wizard types. We need to put special attention into the fact that several different type of ent.i.ties came out, instead of just a single type. And, we also must not look over the fact that a hard to kill Wizard type also appeared. As always, the mysterious Wizard types are much different compared to regular monsters. Whether it be regarding growth, abilities, or wisdom, these dangerous ent.i.ties will definitely be appearing in the next Earthquakes.”

“So you’re saying you guys should be able to tell if that time has come or not, once we have 1 or 2 more Earthquakes?”

“I’m not sure. I can’t say that it’s going to be definite, but if the next few Earthquakes end up being similar to the recent Earthquakes we’ve had, then there’s a high chance that we should be able to decide. Personally, I can see that there is definitely change happening right now and feel that something big is definitely going to be happening soon.”

All the Director’s faces were distraught and dark.

They already had their own ideas regarding everything that has happened. In the recent Earthquake and the one before it, the predicted levels were completely missed. It was a huge difference where they had to raise the level up by one.

There was a similar situation that happened in the past. The difference in the actual Level of the Earthquake and the measures that were taken.

All the data they’ve been able to compile has led to the same thing.

A time where the levels had to be raised.

The time of 20 years back has come upon them once again.
