Scummy Hero

Everyone looked at the figures standing beside the King. Their eyes spelled dazzle. The knights present in the ballroom were cautious of the five. And I was glaring at them, but I was careful enough not to let out any bloodlust. They won't be able to endure it. 

The King looked at everyone's awed faces with amusement. It seemed that he was enjoying their faces. It was expected. 

I wanted to go on a rampage this very instant, but I held myself back. I didn't want the tribulations to punish me again and I didn't want Sou's close ones to be crushed by my pressure. As for the others, I didn't care about them. They can rot in hell.

"As you all might know, I have organized this ball for an announcement." the King started his speech.

"I present you all the Hero and his party!" 

Cutting straight to the chase? Not bad.

"The Hero?"

"Could he be the Legendary Hero?"

"What? Really?"
