Hero Awakening: Shadow Vanguard Internship..
Due to the chaos that had been brought by the deviants and hostile activities of the general public, General Allen had issued for all admitted students in any hero institution of all kinds to begin internship. The demand for heroes had become high, in and out of Geo. People were awakening in large numbers daily, and most of the newly awakened individuals had taken to the streets to show off their newly gained abilities. The pro heroes were already distracted with fixing the damages and investigating issues concerning deviants and supersoldiers, there was no time to waste on mediocre villains these days. "You're going to your family's agency, I suppose. It's a shame you won't be joining us." Cedric said to Damian who was busy with getting his things in order. Thanks to Michael, Charles McRae had agreed to take three students under his care, and those students were Michael, Cedric and Frank. Michael and Cedric weren't exactly onboard with the inclusion of a bully in their team, but at

[Beast defeated! +50xp][Beast defeated! +50xp][Beast defeated! +50xp]Just before Michael landed the last blow on his last opponent, he took a few seconds to examine how well Frank was doing. He wasn't exactly struggling, but he wasn't having a field day either. He had already managed to put down two wolves out of the five, but the remaining three were making him work a little bit harder. Letting out a sigh of exhaustion, Micheal balled his hand into a fist and pummeled the last of his adversary into the ground.

Hero Awakening: Shadow Vanguard Michael Black
It was night, the dull light from the crescent moon, aided with the faint light of stars, poorly illuminated the dark streets. Being the most popular boy in one of the prominent Elite high schools was a rather demanding unpaid job.Michael sat on the rooftop of his family house, his eighteenth birthday party had just concluded and while there was a mountain of gifts in front of him, he was only interested in one. His best friend, Daniel Hardwood laid unconscious at the far end of the roof, while guests and well wishers left the premises until it was only the two of them left.This was the night he opened Pandora's box, the only gift his father had left him before his death. He was the son of the most renowned superhero in town, and while his parents had powers that granted them superhuman strength, Michael had been born with no supernatural abilities. At first, none of that mattered to him. In the world he lived in, only two percent of the population were able to awaken supernatural
Hero Awakening: Shadow Vanguard Under Attack
The first thing Michael saw when he regained consciousness was the face of his best friend awkwardly close to him. They were still in the basement, and while everything seemed normal to Daniel, Michael was freaking out inside. "Where's the box?" Michael asked as he rose from the floor. He had been too focused on finding the box that he had completely neglected the fact that his once burnt hand was now completely healed. He didn't notice, not until he slammed his fist against the wall in frustration. "I didn't find any box when I woke up, and that was three hours ago. It's well past noon by now." Daniel replied before walking forward to calm his frustrated box. "I think you should take a break from this black box for now. Get something to eat, and we can continue looking for it afterwards." He suggested.Michael didn't argue, nor did he oppose Daniel's decisions. He knew something had happened with the box, and it definitely had to do with the fact that his completely burnt hand was
Hero Awakening: Shadow Vanguard I Hate Heroes
"Are you okay?!" Daniel screamed after getting tossed into the nearby table. Their assaulter was clearly a telepath, but it didn't seem like he was well accustomed to his own powers yet. The fact that he had a gun with him must mean that he had just awakened and simply wanted to test out his powers against two defenseless teenagers. "I'm fine...c..call the police!" Michael managed before taking refuge behind a wall. His wound was healing, but he was losing energy quickly. Even though he had healing prowess, it did not take away from the excruciating pain in his lower abdomen. He had no idea why this had decided to happen all of a sudden, he had never been attacked before, so why would it happen on his birthday?Acting swiftly, Daniel reached for his cellphone, but just as he was about to call the police, the gadget flew out of his grip, and in came a six foot masked man. He had broken down the door with his telekinetic powers and had his gun pointed right at where Daniel hid. "If yo
Hero Awakening: Shadow Vanguard Promises
"The heroes couldn't get to the scene on time because you wouldn't let them!" A deep baritone voice chastised two men in expensive tuxedos. "There was an unusual burst of energy coming from that location. We rarely have enough heroes in the city, we couldn't risk sending them out without first confirming the situation." One of the suited men replied. Antonio Carlos, one of the core members of the research and management department of the hero association. He was a knowledgeable man, very adept with matters concerning science and technology. Every member of the hero association respected him, but that didn't save him from being chastised by the number three hero in the entirety of Geo, Charles McRae. "There were no casualties, so it's not really something to make a big deal out of." The second suited man, Franklin Otter, pointed out. "There wasn't, but a villain got away. That boy's house was completely destroyed, don't you think that's enough damage done?" "That's enough Charles
Hero Awakening: Shadow Vanguard Patrol
There were five hero guilds in Geo, each of them being led by one of the five S ranked heroes of the city. Charles McRae was in charge of the Shadow Vanguards, the second most powerful guild in the city, and the guild with the highest number of A rank members. Michael knew that if he enrolled into the Hero program, he would fall prey to the scheme of the government. And now that the identity of his parents was no longer a secret, he knew he would eventually turn into a toy for them to gamble with. His only option right now was joining Charles' team, the shadow vanguard. Even though they were supposed to be a unit that operated in the shadows, Charles McRae was the polar opposite. He was active during day and night, and that exactly was the reason many people adored him and raced under his command. "You don't have to give me your answer right away. Take your time to figure out what you want, and when you're ready you can call for me and give me your answer." Charles notified and Mich
Hero Awakening: Shadow Vanguard Patrol II
Geo was a busy city in the fall. Corporate workers hastened along the streets in a hurry to get to their workplace to finish projects before the cold season sets in. Stores had multiple discount sales to clear out goods that had been sitting on the shelves all year long. Even normal people were pulled into the hustle and bustle of the city.At night, the buzz of activity died down to some extent. No city was without its own nightlife and Geo was quite lively. Nevertheless, dusk wasn't much welcome in these parts. With the sudden increase in awakened individuals, the crime rate had skyrocketed. It didn't matter if a curfew was in place, criminals drunk in power would break into homes, harm parents and children, and cart away with their important belongings. "You should have worn something thicker, it's cold out here at night." Charles chastised as the two walked down an empty street. "Aren't you cold in that?" He returned as he admired the hero's suit closely. The sleek design accent

Suspicions and Visitations
From time to time Cedric would glance over at Michael's desk. Ever since the night of the inter guild contests, he couldn't help but feel that something was up with his friend somehow. At first he brushed it off as disappointment for not finishing the event, but now he was certain it was something else. Subsequently, Michael always seemed to excuse himself, and Cedric always watched him climb to the rooftops. He would spend five to ten minutes there regularly, and Cedric had begun to think that Michael could be secretly seeing a lover. That had been his first suspicion, but that hadn't been the case. There were no love letters, no chocolates, and even lately he had crossed his boundaries and had gone through Michael's messages. He didn't text a lot of people, and he didn't find anyone who could possibly be Michael's love interest. "Focus, Cedric!" The teacher instructed firmly. At the moment they were being taught how to perform simple rescue operations, and everybody absolutely loa

Partners?
The activities in the shadow vanguard headquarters were yet to pick up pace since the deviant incident, and the events had been canceled until the heroes decoded otherwise. Charles visited a lot more often these days, and he never left without having a word with Michael Black. However, today was different, he was taking the boy out of the headquarters, and it was for good reason. Just recently, while some heroes were out investigating the deviants and supersoldiers, they had come across an interesting piece, a human hand, torched and almost burnt to a crisp. The hand had been taken to Mark who had run a series of tests on it, and after two days of intensive tests and examination, Mark had finally come to a conclusion that the arm belonged to Daniel Hardwood. "Y..you're joking right?!" Michael trembled after he had received the news. He never really believed that his friend died on the day they'd been attacked. Now that he knew a little bit more about what was going on in his life, h

Work
Logan led his partner through a dark alleyway. The chaos that the deviant's had caused had left the city in a cold state for a week now, and although no more deviants had been sighted for a week, things weren't exactly as they used to be. The public had begun an open rebellion against the awakened individuals, and were rioting for them to leave the country. No one knew how, but an article had leaked out to the public giving detailed information on the deviants and how they functioned. It exposed the secret that only awakened people could become deviants, and ever since then, the public and the government had taken advantage of the information to create hostility in the entire country. "What exactly did you say these people are?" Hugo questioned for the umpteenpth time as he followed Logan into an old abandoned house. He wouldn't partner up with Logan for an assassination work on a normal day, but thanks to the commotion caused by the deviants, schools had been on lockdown, and incom

I'm On Your Side
"Principal Hugo? What are you doing here, and what did you do to my friends?" Michael asked with a shocked, yet equally afraid expression on his face. "I just knocked them out, they'll be fine. Secondly, I came to pay my best student a visit, is that a bad thing?" The older man answered with a smile, one that Michael didn't find soothing at all. He had a lot a things going through his mind at the moment, but the question that bugged him the most was—"How did you get in here?" Principal Hugo read the boy's mind. He expected the question, but Michael was not ready for his principal's reply. With a hand stretched out in the air, Hugo tore a hole through space, and at the same time, another hole appeared behind the stunned boy. From the portal he had just created, Hugo walked through, and appeared right behind the unsuspecting boy. "How—? You're awakened?!" Michael stammered with visible shock. "Yes I am, Michael Black." Hugo answered as he steadily studied the boy's appearance. His p

An Unexpected Visitor
Although the syringe and vial Ben had provided weren't from his lab, Mark couldn't help but feel that all of this was connected somehow. But the more he thought about it, the less he understood. It felt as though a portion of his memory was missing, and no matter how hard he tried to remember, he just couldn't quench the restlessness in his mind. "I've examined the liquid, definitely a power boosting serum, and it's likely the cause of the transformation." Mark revealed to the heroes gathered in his laboratory. "Is there any way you can turn them back? Any possible cure?" Charles inquired, eager and anxious. With a disappointed look on his face, Mark shook his head to answer. "Unfortunately not, but I can try. It will take some time, but it's not impossible. If we could find the root of all this, and get my hands on the serum's formula, it would be a lot easier for me to create a cure." "Do you have any suspicions of who it might be?" Hector asked abstractly while hoping for a pos

Dark Alliance
Despite the unending chaos in the streets of Geo, a man clothed in a long overcoat walked on the sidewalk of a half empty street. His pitch black hair was perfectly cut, and his Harry potter glasses gave him the appearance of a nerd. In his left hand was a brown paper bag containing groceries as indicated by the asparagus tips poking over the top. His strides were long and steady to match his well built frame. When he paused to avoid a mud puddle by the side of the road, the street lamp shed some light on his face, revealing strong facial features. There was a faraway look on his face as he crossed the road. He had been feeling strange all day, as if something was coming for him. What annoyed him most was the fact that he had no idea exactly what that thing was. But he had a feeling he would not like it.He wasn't the type who wandered around during the night, but some circumstances had warranted him to carry out his shopping after dusk. He had gone to the Guild Contest, and since the

Skill Unlocked!
"Are you alright?" Ben asked as he pulled his bleeding body towards the still standing Michael. "You're losing a lot of blood!" Michael exclaimed as he snapped out of his trance. He rushed to Ben's side and examined the wound, and like expected it was bad. Things would likely get worse before help could arrive, and too much movement would worsen the situation. "It's okay, leave me here and call for help. I won't die." Ben promised with a bright smile, one that Michael found odd, yet relieving. He didn't want to leave Ben's side, not even for a second. If he hadn't been too weak, none of this would have happened. [Would Host Like To Unlock A Skill?] The system asked after reading its host's desperation. [Use Two Stat points to Unlock a skill!]"Unlock skill!" Michael screamed inwardly. [You've Successfully Used two stat points!][Skill Healer has been unlocked!
