Shiro: The Secret Hero
21. Fingers

In the afternoon.

Shiro seemed to be in a hurry to return to the Hero academy. Shiro seemed excited when he returned home from the dormitory after being declared graduated. He was busy playing a soul-shaped sword he said.

He was busy looking for the function of the sword, which turned out to have two abilities, which could make enemies fall asleep or hallucinate and enter the dream realm for opponents who saw the blade.

And for anyone who is slashed or hit by a sword attack when entering a sleep or hallucination condition, the opponent will not wake up or make a sound.

Shiro was so excited when he learned of the ability of the Sword of Talent. Until he fell asleep in the dorm.

And now he ran, afraid late to follow the license distribution ceremony of Apprentice Heroes.

Arriving at the Hero academy, Shiro sees that the students are in line to enter the room.

Shiro immediately ran, wanting to follow the line. However Shiro is stopped by the supervising Master.

"Who are you ? why are you here ?" ask the supervisor.

"I'm Shiro, I passed the assessment this morning and was told to take part in the license-sharing ceremony this afternoon" Shiro replied.

"Wait a minute, I'll check your identity first.

The supervising teacher left and Shiro could only wait for the supervising master to return.

Before long, Shiro saw the supervising Master coming towards Shiro.

"Please enter the ranks, thankfully you came on time, otherwise you would not be able to attend the license distribution ceremony" said the supervising teacher who allowed Shiro to enter the ranks.

"Thank you" Shiro said as he bowed his body.

Following which, Shiro entered the ranks and waited for the entrance of the academy's Main Hall room. One by one the students came in, and now it was Shiro's turn.

Shiro walked into the room of the Main Hall of the academy following the other front row students.

Inside the room, Shiro and the other students were directed into the ranks by the supervising teachers of the room.

Shiro glanced at the left and right lyrics, he was surprised that there were quite a lot of students this year who had just obtained an Apprentice Hero License. Not only in class B, but there are also from other classes. Even a level Brother exists.

"Ehemmm~ Ehemmm~"

A thumping sound suddenly rang out in the ears of the students. The students, who were busy whispering in the row, now saw someone standing on the front podium.

For those who attended the admission ceremony of the new students, it was definitely no stranger to the figure of the old man who was already standing in front of the podium.

Yes, that figure was the Beta Academy Student Council, Charles Winderless.

"Congratulations to all of you for successfully passing the heroics internship license exam. This license is not the end for you, but the beginning of your journey to become a Hero. We hope you all can be great and useful Heroes for the City, your friends and family...."

The Student Council began giving its speeches to the students. The students listened attentively.

"Tomorrow you will all gather here again to share your list of interns. You will be apprenticed to heroes who have done much for human survival. Learn a lot from them."

"Given that it's late afternoon, there's not much I can say to all of you. Congratulations to all of you, be a hero who protects not need to be protected."

"Next, let's continue the next event that is, the division of the Apprentice Hero License"

The inauguration time Shiro had been waiting for finally arrived, not just about becoming an Apprentice Hero. But also to prove his speculation a few years ago

` clap~ clap~ clap~`

After the Student Council, Charles Winderless immediately inaugurated and immediately closed his speech and will continue the distribution of the Hero Apprenticeship license at the Beta academy this year. This was also followed by enthusiastic applause from the students.

The tiredness in the eyes of the students had now turned into a burning fire of impatience, trying to burn the remnants of fighting spirit for today.

"The first one is Roid Shar, please come forward to receive the Hero Apprentice License."

"May you be proud of your family" Hiruzen said, patting the young man on the shoulder.

The young man just smiled, bowing in gratitude. Then walk down from the podium and be guided out of the room by the supervisor there.

It seemed that if it was done, it could be left to go back to the dormitory.

"Next, Yo Kusuma."

Next one by one the names are called and advance to the podium to receive the certificate or license of the apprentice hero.

Congratulations and words of spirit were left one by one to the students. But as time passed, Charless Winderless seemed to be unable to speak any more words of encouragement to the students. Even smiling is hard to do.

"Shiro"

when Shiro's name was called, Shiro immediately walked towards the podium. The Old Man of the Student Council, Charles Winderless only gave a faint smile to Shiro while handing Shiro an Internship Hero license certificate.

Shiro's eyes sparkled, but not because he got the apprentice hero's license, but because his speculation was correct.

[Dig!]

A system mechanism Shiro hadn't heard of for a long time has finally resurfaced. Shiro did not continue to receive information from the system. Shiro still had to draw the lottery when in the dorm.

Then Shiro got off the podium and he was reminded by the supervisor to come back tomorrow for the division of the apprenticeship team. And Shiro just nodded his head at the supervisor.

Shiro exited the room excitedly, he could not wait to return to his dormitory. He was looking forward to what other prizes he could get from the lottery system.

But just wanting to get out of the Hero academy and head for the dormitory, Shiro undoes his intention to return home quickly. Because he saw 2 figures of his roommates.

"Hey Brend Hey Denshu. What are you guys doing here? Are you done with the license distribution ?"

Shiro walked towards the two men, even though he actually knew the intentions of the two, but Shiro still asked the two of them.

"Haha.. Since we're officially Apprenticeship Heroes, let's celebrate" Brendy said.

"Yes Shiro, let's celebrate this great event, the Brendy that is the treaty" Denshu added.

Seeing that Brendy wanted to treat him, Shiro was very excited. It can save money. " Okay, I can"

"Hahah, let's eat at the Magic Cafe. Eh Denshu, what did you want to talk about earlier ? Aren't we gonna pay it together ?"

"Thank you Brendy, I saw you still had a lot of points" Denshu added, trying to persuade Brendy.

"Judah if so" Brendy could only give up.

The three of them started walking towards my Ichiraku ramen shop while telling stories.

Arriving at the shop of the Magic Cafe, it was seen that the place was already crowded. Fortunately, there was a seat for the three of them.

The three of them started ordering drinks and a few snacks. Then they enjoy drinks and snacks while telling stories and joking.

Brendy forced Denshu to tell them about his family . And Shiro only listened to Brendy's story while nodding his head.

Time passed, the night was getting late. Denshu seemed to have fallen asleep in the Cafe, he did not seem too strong to drink wine, only a few sips were already pat.

While Brendy still mumbled slowly telling the heroic story of his family.

Forced by Shiro to pay their food and drink bills, it was fortunate that he had enough stored points to buy weapons.

But since he obtained the soul sword, so it was fine for him to spend the points today.

Shiro returned to his own dorm.

For Brendy and Denshu, Shiro left it at the Magic Cafe.
