章 149: Holy Crusade Begins

Nestled somewhere within Hero Academy, the secret headquarters of the Society for the Protection of the Silver Saintess was said to exist, though its exact location was known only to a few trusted members. For the low-ranking members, an invitation to the headquarters was considered a mark of distinction, a badge of true loyalty.

His devotion ran deep, and he took his duty seriously, almost zealously. This dedication became especially crucial when summer break arrived and most students returned home, leaving the responsibility of upholding order in the academy solely in Munetaka's hands.
