Yeah and it’s been like at least a year since it all happened (looks like it could be more though). If he was really sincere he would have come a long time ago…
I really dope those guys that hurt him well suffer.
I've been reading the novel, and in case anyone's interested in what happened in his old department:
First off, his former boss hated him for being so competent and was just a shitty person in general. So at one point, there was an incident of a dragon going berserk and MC managed to single-handedly stop it, though sustaining serious injuries in the process (basically, even though his "magic pathways" are physically recovered, if he uses a lot of magic at once or is under emotional strain, his magic pathways act like they're still damaged and he has severe pain, nosebleeds, loss of consciousness, etc).
When the government investigated, they were more concerned about having someone running around powerful enough to beat a dragon than grateful for MC having saved a whole damn city. Additionally, MC's former boss was interviewed and bullshitted about how dangerous MC was, completely throwing him under the bus.
As a result, MC now has to live under goverment surveillance at all times. Like, one time he oversleeps and a frigging SWAT team busts down his door and points guns at him. The best is when another dragon rampage incident happens and MC's involved in stopping it, but when the authorities are called to collect said dragon they instead IMMEDIATELY handcuff MC instead. And MC is just... so used to being treated like that by this point that he's surprised when his current boss shows up furious and starts yelling at them (she wanted to make sure he wouldn't have to go through shit again).
I still want them to suffer, the things they did on him was too brutal and unforgivable.
That was brutal the things they did to him, no matter what they say to him the fact that they abandoned him, and they let him take the fall on the things he didn't do, and yet they still want to come to him, thrt was fucking shameless, to the things they do to him, I agree he should never cooperate with those despicable thing anymore ND not giving them a second chance.
