Chapter 217: Awakening Ability
What happened next was that Heero tried to pick up Kim Han-Pyo. But it looked like he refused to get up. He was kneeling with his head almost touching the floor.
Finally, Heero seemed to give up and left the room with the two women.
Before leaving the room, Heero heard Kim Han-Pyo muttering, "Do you think you can dismiss me like that? Just wait, I will make you pay for humiliating me..."
'Oho... He won't give up even with that!?'
'Maybe I can use this opportunity to test Xu Lingxun...'
Kang Seo-Yeon followed Heero, her lips forming a beautiful smile. She was so happy that Heero was standing up for her.
Bai Xin Yue also had her thoughts after witnessing such a scene: 'Why didn't he attack me? If it was me, would he stand up for me...'
'No... No... No... How can you be so shameless, Xin Yue...'
All of a sudden, Bai Xin Yue frowned, 'But why did he make trouble for him? The Kim family wouldn't be stupid enough to insult someone like that, would they?'
Heero was typically a person to befriend, not offend. Especially for a colossal family like the Kim family.
The three people walked side by side with different thoughts in their heads.
Bai Xin Yue led Heero to the 18th floor. His office was on the 18th floor, the same floor as Bai Xian Ming's office.
As they entered his office, Bai Xin Yue began to speak, "This is your office! We have prepared everything for you here!"
The office was spacious, with two sets of couches on the left and right. Bookshelves filled with books decorated the room, with some exquisite paintings on the wall and a desk with Heero's name plaque.
Not too plain, but nothing special either. It was a sentence that explained Heero's office perfectly.
"If you want to redecorate the office, we have our..."
"It's fine! The office is fine and let's not waste the funds on something useless!" Heero raised his hand to Bai Xin Yue and walked over to his table.
He sat down on the chair and commented while shaking his head, "I can say that the recruitment is such a disappointment..."
"Why? Countless experts were born from this method," Bai Xin Yue gently expressed her disapproval.
"But countless heroes have also died while doing a mission outside, am I right?" Heero replied straight to the point, immediately silencing Bai Xin Yue.
Just as Heero said, countless heroes died out there. An expert was born, but a hundred people died.
Based on the test, the Hero League seemed to favor quantity over quality.
Heero knew the reason for this, the Ranker Alliance. They were trying to balance the power against the Ranker Alliance.
The Ranker Alliance easily recruited people with the benefit they offered, money.
Even though the Hero League offered something that the Ranker Alliance could not. But money solved all the problems. As long as you had money, you could get almost anything you wanted.
The Hero League did not want to raise its recruiting standards. Thus, they were able to maintain the balance between them and the Ranked Alliance with numbers.
If this continues, the Hero League will remain the same with or without me...
If I want the Hero League to become stronger, the Hero League must change the system. Restructuring is a must, changing the people, weeding out the corrupt, and bringing in the more competent!'
'But should I interfere?'
The Hero League was big, he would be touching the interests of the big families by making a big change.
He would offend a lot of people to make the change.
Heero fell into deep thought while the two girls looked at Heero thoughtfully. They knew that Heero was thinking of something, so they sealed their lips and tried not to disturb him.
Bai Xin Yue looked at Heero thoughtfully. She wanted to say something but hesitated.
After a moment of silence, Bai Xin Yue opened her mouth, "Actually, my grandfather wants to change the system of our recruitment, but..."
She took a deep breath and regretfully continued, "But the other executives, the other families don't agree with the change! Most of them are against the idea..."
Kang Seo-Yeon had no idea about the work of the Hero League. So she just listened from the side.
Heero frowned when he heard this. He had expected that these big families would oppose the change because it would affect their interests. But to hear it directly, he realized that the change would be difficult.
Heero gave up the idea of interfering in this matter.
"Let's not interfere, I will just do my job as a hero instructor...
"Mnnn... I'm going to open recruitment instead of accepting the new one!"
Heero unlocked his smartwatch and went to the Hero League's special website. It was a site that only Heroes and the Hero Instructor could access.
Heero typed for a while and then showed it to the two women.
"Is it okay to post this on the official site?"

Hardworking

---------------
Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon were left speechless by Heero. The post was more like a job advertisement than a call for apprentices.
Besides, no Hero Instructor would accept an apprentice with such a random method as Heero's. The Hero Instructor would choose his apprentice carefully.
This was the first time the Hero Instructor had put out such an advertisement for an apprentice.
Bai Xin Yue smiled wryly, but answered the question anyway: "There are no rules that say you can't post the recruitment... But are you sure? The apprentice you choose will reflect your image..."
"That's why I set the test as a written test and an interview," Heero replied confidently. He felt this was the most effective way to select an apprentice from thousands of heroes.
"But are you sure about the recruitment? Why don't you add another requirement, like heroes with the ability to awaken? You have the qualification to add such a requirement!" Kang Seo-Yeon interjected with a curious tone.
With Heero's status as Chief Hero Instructor, there would be many heroes with the awakening ability willing to be taught by Heero. After all, he had produced two Emperor Class Heroes.
"Awakening ability? What's that?" Heero blurted out in confusion.
He had a certain understanding of the Awakening Ability. But he did not know the details because he could only find a little information about the awakening ability online.
This time, it was Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon's turn to be confused. They scanned Heero's face and found out that Heero seemed to have no idea about the awakening ability.
After seeing Heero's confused face, the girls looked at each other. They found out that Heero wasn't lying to them, but what about the thunder and Sun Zhou Yi's sword?
Wasn't that supposed to be an awakening ability?
"Thunder is not an awakening ability. It's just one of my abilities..." He used the Ki around him to summon the thunder.
Heero stopped halfway, the girls did not know about the Ki yet. Therefore, he did not go into the details. It would take a long time to explain.
He wanted to know about the awakening thing first. But his half-explanation confused the girls even more.
"Mnnn..." Heero raised his hand and then...
Fwoosh!
The flame flared up and covered his palm. Heero did not stop there, he raised his other hand.
Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!
Lightning shot out of his hand. With a flame in his right hand and lightning in his right hand, Heero stood in front of the two girls.
This time, the two girls had their eyes and mouths wide open. They simply could not believe what they were seeing.
