The Return of the World's Destructive Hero
Chapter 17: Meeting With Heroes

After waking up from a full week's sleep, Satoru felt very hungry. He eats so voraciously at his recovery party and Jugo comes to him while giving him a large magic Cristal.

"What's this?" Satoru asks Jugo about the magic crystal he gave.

"That's the demon crystal you defeated!" Jugo said it clearly and all the other adventurers also cheered proudly to Satoru.

"Only the crystal? what about the demon corpse?" Satoru asked Jugo out of curiosity about it.

"So~ about that... his body has been given to the kingdom.. But take it easy, you have got a lot of payment for the sale of the demon corpse!" Jugo took out a bag of money and gave it to Satoru.

Satoru checked the money bag and was surprised to see the amount. "This much!?"

"of course! material from the devil is very expensive you know?" Said Jugo who laughed looking at the surprised face of Satoru.

Satoru smiled slightly "Okay everyone, eat as much as we will party today!!!" He shouted and lifted the bag of money.

"Yahooohhhhh!!!!!" Everyone was excited after hearing that.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

To esokan the next morning

Satoru heads to the academy to attend lessons, as he has been out for an entire week.

As he opened the classroom door, all of his classmates came in droves asking him how he was doing.

"Hey have you really recovered Satoru-san?"

"I heard that you were unconscious for a week!"

"Is your body really better?"

Seeing his classmates so worried, Satoru could only laugh awkwardly and answer them. "Haha.it's okay, I'm healthy"

The lesson continued until the break came, Taiju immediately talked about what happened when Satoru fell asleep.

"Hey, Satoru! have you heard about the hero who defeated the demon in the forest near the city!?" Said his friend excitedly.

Satoru who heard that became nervous and replied awkwardly "Aaa.. ehmm. I've heard it..."

"Why don't you look interested? this is hero, hero!" Taiju who was astonished to see Satoru's reaction who seemed uninterested reaffirmed what he said.

"They are the chosen ones and will save the world from the calamity brought by the demon lord!" Taiju got carried away and talked to himself about the greatness of the hero.

Satoru got up and was about to go see Rey and the others. "Then I go to the training ground to meet Rey senpai and the others first" Satoru said, holding Taiju's right shoulder, and then walked away.

"Ah, wait!! i'm coming!!" Taiju accompanied Satoru to the training ground they used to use.

When they get there, they don't see Rey and only see her classmates along with 4 strangers who Satoru has never seen.

"Hey, Taiju. Who are the 4?" Out of curiosity Satoru asked Taiju about the 4 people who were training with Rey's classmates.

"Eh? you don't know the four of them?" Taiju was surprised because Satoru did not know the four people who were in the field. "Ah, right also... at that time you were not aware of us" Taiju just remembered that Satoru was unconscious at that time.

"Heee... are they strong?" Still not really caring, Satoru only asked if the four people were strong or not.

"Of course they are strong!!! even they had already defeated one demon during the festival event one week ago!"

Hearing that Satoru realized that the time was very strange, when he fought in the forest, he did not feel the existence of others.

Is it possible that the demon at the festival was the corpse of the demon I bought from me?

Then, the four people just ate the sweet without knowing what it was like to fight a demon...

Satoru stared at the four heroes from a distance in disappointment. Feeling that someone was watching them, the four heroes looked towards the two people who were in the audience seats.

Oh, they realize I'm watching them...

Looking at the four heroes, Satoru immediately got up and left the place with Taiju.

"Hey you! you just watched us, didn't you?!" Just as Satoru was about to leave, Touya shouted to stop him.

Satoru stopped walking and turned his head with a smile "Maybe it's just your feelings and sorry for making you all worry senpai!" Satoru waved his hand to all of Rey's classmates who were in the field.

After Satoru and Taiju left the place, Touya asked the people in the field. "Senpai, who was the person who just left earlier?"

At that time there were some people from class 2-A who had the symbol of interrupting the conversation. "He's nothing but a scum with no sign of a hero. You don't have to look at the pebbles like that"

"You who?" Touya asked the person who interrupted their conversation.

"Ah, sorry for my disrespect. Introduce my name Alex Von Helfien, the second son of the noble family of Helfien" the man said respectfully.

"But I don't agree if you say the person who just left was a piece of trash" Touya said firmly. "When I look into his eyes, he's like a really great guy in a fight!"

"Is the hero sure? I think he just envies you heroes who are gifted by great powers, unlike him who can't even use magic" Alex said haughtily.

Just then Sena interrupted their conversation "I think what Alex-san said was true Touya. The man who just went out of the building, I didn't feel a single penny of magic energy from him"

"justified! that trash must be just jealous of you heroes!" Alex arrogantly spoke confidently.

Shortly thereafter Rey entered the training field. "Akhs! why is this papa's son here?" Rey grumbled in annoyance when she saw Alex on the training pitch.

"What did you say fucking Rey!?" Hearing that Alex shouted loudly.

Rey doesn't listen to Alex's rant and asks about what happened while he was away. "What happens when I go to the wc?" He asked his classmates.

"Ah, there was Satoru who came here to tell us that he was cured"

Hearing that Rey immediately held tightly onto the shoulders of her friend "Hey, where is she now!?"

"He just left along with Taiju" His classmate replied awkwardly as he pointed towards the exit.

Rey immediately ran after Satoru quickly.
