Shiro: The Secret Hero
61. Good News

For a whole week, Shiro helped carry out the mission as a porters.

Yeah, how else ? His current age, status and identity had not been able to support him to carry out heavy missions. He had to be a college student to recharge his living expenses.

A lot of the work he did, lifting heavy materials, digging the ground, helping to make farmland, guarding or night patrols, and such.

Not only that, by doing this coolie duty, he could open his eyes even further. He could see the various strange abilities possessed by a coolie Hero like himself.

Some can turn their hands into drilling machines and other spare parts, some can build walls, vomit in the form of cement and coral, mixer capabilities, etc, and there are many more abilities of these coolie heroes that look strange and unique.

In addition to the coolie heroes, Shiro also often sees the wounded combat heroes after coming out of the Gate. Even every day there are injured, of course there are also replacements and reinforcements who come to help complete the Gate.

Shiro often wanted to go inside the Gate, persuading some people to let him in.

But, baby, it's free. Looking at Shiro's age at Id Card, they thought Shiro was just a kid or an apprentice. He was never allowed to enter because it was dangerous.

Shiro once tried to sneak in, but the large number of guards made Shiro undo his intentions.

Although Shiro did not know about what was going on inside the Gate, he managed to get a leak of information about the battle inside the Gate.

Among them are the many Sea creatures that must be fought before facing the Siren, such as Sea Snakes, Stingray Manticore, Thunder Jellyfish, and others.

When Shiro's mission as a porters is completed, he returns to town A, but Gate is still not completed.

Marking the difficulty of the terrain, and asking the opponents they faced.

But the good news is slowly coming.

A week after Shiro finished being a coolie, or rather this week after the heroes entered completed the Gate. The gate was finally completed.

The news spread quickly, bringing cheers of victory, happiness enveloping the entire city at that time.

Shiro was happy to hear the news.

But what no one else knows, every struggle there must be a sacrifice that follows.

Nearly a hundred people who participated, and who died almost 25 people. More precisely there were 18 people found dead, and the rest is unknown.

The seven unknown heroes were declared dead. The Seventh Hero was probably eaten by a sea monster or drowned in the ocean inside the Gate.

It's just the dead, the wounded are so many. Almost every returning hero must have carried a wound on his body.

They made it a medal for their hard struggle.

That is how a hero, must fight, must exert all his strength. Even if the life is the victim.

Honor and pride must be ingrained in their souls. Because that's what makes them great, makes them strong.

The good news is not just that.

A world-shattering news came back, and Shiro was overjoyed to hear the news.

Maybe you can guess it. !

Yeah, correct. The news is the news about the truth of the Yuki family being revealed.

A week after the Gate on the outskirts of U City was completed. The Hero Association captured the entire Yuki Family.

Yuki's family was found guilty of illicit practices, falsifying evidence, committing murder, and so on.

All the evidence and actions that the Yuki Family took were exposed by the local government and the Hero Association.

The news got everyone into an uproar.

The news that the Yuki Family was utilizing the monsters present in the Gate to obtain looks through the exchange of lives, made everyone furious and angry.

Moreover, the life exchanged was the life of a hero.

Almost all of the people of City A conducted a questionnaire and vote to sentence all members of the Yuki Family to death.

They are furious and afraid, if in the future their families are the target of power exchange.

The community's wish was granted, 3 days after the Yuki Family's arrest. The judge decided to sentence all members of the Yuki Family to death.

All the people were happy, including Shiro.

And the Execution went smoothly, the Execution was carried out in the same place where Shiro was executed.

Many people remember a boy who was put to death here for killing one of the Yuki Family.

They all regretted the boy's death.

The Hero Association could only apologize for their negligence. Actually they want to announce the truth, but Shiro refuses the request for a cleanup of the good name.

"No need, then let it pass, anyway I am comfortable with a life like this." refused Shiro.

After Shiro rejected the offer, they agreed. They appreciated and respected the choice Shiro chose.

The apology was submitted by the Hero Association.

And Shiro, he was trying to enjoy his current life.

A few days later.

"Please come in, the Chairman of the Association is waiting for you inside."

Shiro nodded, then he immediately entered the room.

While sifting through the missions in the Mission Hall, he was suddenly summoned to the Central Headquarters of the Hero Association. He did not know the reason why he was summoned by the Association Chairman.

Shiro however left.

"Excuse me Chairman, Zero has arrived" Shiro said as he lowered his head.

"Using your Hero's name, you seem to like it. Please sit down ! " The Chairman of the Association laughed and offered a seat to Shiro.

Shiro did not hesitate, he immediately sat opposite the Hero Association. "What did the Association Chief call me here ? is there a special mission for me ?"

"There's no mission, I just want to say thank you and apologize to you."

Hearing the Association Chief's remark, Shiro understood. The Chairman of the Association would like to thank him for his assistance during this time, both the case of the Yuki Family and the U City Gate.

"No need to apologize or thank the Chairman. This is our duty as a Hero" Shiro said.

"Stay, you need to be rewarded." The Association Chief smiled to Shiro

` tepuk~ tepuk~`

The Chairman of the Association clapped his hands and a servant came to bring him something.

Shiro recognized this servant, as this female servant was the female servant he had met in U City while reporting on the mission.

' Turns out the Chairman of the Association had a female Subordinate as well. ' Shiro thought. He while comparing the male servant who gave the mission with this servant woman.

But his thoughts were interrupted by the remarks of the Association Chairman.

"This is your gift."

The Chairman of the Association opened the cover of the prize, and a white Crystal ball appeared like a snowball.

"Crystal Ball ?" ask Shiro wonder.

"Yes, this is what the Yuki Family used to exchange with the Ice Elves" explained the Association's Chairman.

" ??" Shiro tilted his head in confusion.

After that the Association Chairman explained about the role of this Crystal Ball.

Shiro finally understood.

This crystal ball is called an Orb. The same Crystal Ball as the Crystal Ball during the aptitude test.

According to what the Association's Chairman said, this Orb could randomly assign abilities to the person who injected its aura into the dlama of this Orb.

Each Orb has different specifications.

Like the Orb that Shiro met first when when it came to the aptitude test to enter the Academy. The Orb is called Empty Orb, or Orb that can not give the ability.

In a sense, the Empty Orb had no ability in it, it was either empty from the start, or it was depleted. It can only be used to measure talent.

The second Orb is the Orb that contains the power, its type depends on the specific contents of the Orb. Each Orb has a different ability content depending on the type.

For example, Orb when Shiro tests his second talent, when he wants to get an apprentice hero license. The Orb, called the Human Orb, contains the******** which Humans can use randomly based on the talent of the person who injects the Aura into the Orb.

The Crystal Ball that the Association Leader held contained an Ice or Snow related ability. So that it can sometimes give power to anyone who injects his aura to this Orb.

Because each Orb has its own type, so many hunted.

This orb sometimes came from some of the stored items of the humanoid-shaped Boss Gate. Hence Oeb was extremely rare and only the Academy and the Hero Association had him.

Besides, because it can run out. The use of this Orb is limited, only once for each person.

Shiro was stunned when he heard this statement. This is a new science for him.

"Please inject your aura into this Orb, maybe you can be lucky to get great abilities based on ice or Snow" said the Association's Chairman.

Shiro nodded, he placed his hand on the Orb and began injecting his aura.

As the orb begins to shine, Shiro hopes to gain useful abilities.

Because according to the Chairman of the Association, the ability obtained is very random. It could even obtain resistance skills or ordinary anti-cold items from this Orb.

Orb light is getting brighter.

` brass~`

A white wing suddenly emerged from Shiro's back.

"Good boy, you're lucky..."
