Chapter 201 The Hero’s Thoughts
"This... shouldn't be happening."
Adonis currently sat on his bed, his room surrounding him like one massive cage that tied him down.
His eyes appeared vacant as they fixatedly stared at the ground, and his head hung low atop his shoulder.
Despite his usual muscular figure, Adonis looked strangely small in the confines of his room.
"So much has changed. I can't keep up any longer." He sighed, punching his forehead with his hand.
Adonis could not properly describe what he was feeling at the moment.
He had tried his best to ensure his second chance at life wasn't wasted.
He made sure his classmates were a coherent team, and he ensured they started training early and took it very seriously.
He practiced hard—working his butt off even when everyone was resting.
All of it was so he could get even the tiniest bit stronger than he was in the past.
And yet...
'When it came down to it, I failed.'
The Hero exists for one sole reason; and that is to save people from danger.
Adonis felt like a failure for being unable to perform his sole responsibility.
He was a Regressor who knew the future, yet somehow everything that was happening seemed to catch him off-guard.
It was a mortifying thing for him.
'And now, look at everything.'
The classmates he tried so hard to hold together had fallen apart. The duo of Alicia and Billy that he implicitly encouraged due to how they were in his past life—especially after the kidnapping—turned out to be a hoax.
He was the only one among their classmates who knew what had happened thanks to practically being an integral part of the Royal Council at this point.
As such, Alicia and Billy had to tell him—alongside Vida and Conrad—what happened to them.
'Alicia seems to trust me a little now. She didn't hesitate to talk to me. I suppose she knows I won't tell anyone and cause more social dysfunction.'
The result of all that drama was Adonis finding out the truth about what happened—both in this life and likely in the past too.
'I never expected Billy to be the culprit behind everything. I... I just...'
It revealed Billy to be a twisted soul in the past, forever altering the perception Adonis had of him.
Despite all of that, though...
'We still need him!'
That was the major issue that prevented the boy from being properly punished or even expelled from the Royal Estate.
Other than the fact that he seemed to genuinely regret his deeds, he was also a vital member of their team.
'So what could he be? Maybe he belongs to a naturally powerful race?'
Elves were loved by Mana, and Fairies were Children of the World.
However, he didn't really fit those description; as true Elves would not interact with Humans, and he was too tall to be a Fairy.
Ralyks also didn't have pointy ears or an Elven Accent.
Sure, it was possible that the Dark Adventurer was in disguise, but Adonis found that to be highly unlikely.
'The Elves should currently be facing the Dragons in their own Continent. I doubt they would have a champion like Ralyks, and he wouldn't help them out first.'
None of what was happening made any sense to Adonis.
He was currently running blind, and for a Regressor like him, it was humiliating.
'I don't care what happens to me, though. As long as this world can be saved... how I feel doesn't matter.'
Adonis had already purposed within himself that he would put the safety of this world before any of his own needs.
Even his decision to integrate himself with the Royal Council, despite disliking politics, was for the very reason of helping his classmates and after the United Human Alliance in the right direction.
'I already suspected Knox and those two bastards, and I was actively investigating them.'
It was a shame that they had to die so prematurely, depriving the Alliance of any information that they had.
'Conrad and Vida will handle the situation of the Criminal Underworld, though. It's best I focus on what I can do for now...'
Adonis slowly raised his head and rose to his feet.
There was only one place that called for him now, and he prepared his body to go.
'I have to get stronger!'
He despised how inadequate he felt—how powerless he was when it counted the most.
Plus, with his Stats now lower than before thanks to using [Limit Transcension], he had to work extra hard.
But, Adonis was ready to do all of that.
'If it means saving this world... I will do anything!'
That was why he was the Hero.
