2022-06-14 10:40:11The next day came and all the students of heroes academy began to head to the set location — a very large field that can contain a million or more people.
"Finally! It's today!" "I am so excited!" "Watch how I am going to impress everyone!" The students of heroes academy were all happy and excited because it their inter-house sports day. They could not help but feel joyous, they would not only show the visitors the beauties of their school but also the beauty of their powers. But among this happy students was one. "Hey, man, you've been moody every since the morning," Peter said to Alex as they headed to the field. "I'm going to assist you and you'll pass the tests as well," he assured his friend. But Alex was not satisfied. "This is not what I want," he said to Peter. "I want my own ability, something I can be proud of." Peter's expression fell as he listened to Alex's words. He had always been supportive of his friend, and it hurt him to see Alex so dissatisfied with his own abilities. "Alex, I thought we were a team," Peter said, his voice tinged with sadness. "I'm happy to help you, but it seems like you don't trust me enough." Alex sighed, feeling a pang of guilt for hurting his friend's feelings. "It's not that I don't trust you, Peter," he explained. "It's just that...I want to be able to do something on my own, without relying on you or anyone else." Peter nodded slowly, understanding dawning on his face. "I get it," he said. "You want to be independent, to have your own strength." Alex nodded, feeling a sense of relief that his friend understood him. "Exactly," he said. "I want to be able to hold my own, without needing anyone else's help." The two friends walked in silence for a moment, the only sound being the chatter and laughter of the other students as they made their way to the field. Finally, Peter spoke up. "Hey, Alex?" he said, his voice filled with determination. "I'm going to help you find your own ability, okay? We'll work together, and I'll support you every step of the way." Alex's face lit up with a faint smile, feeling a sense of gratitude towards his friend. "Thanks, Peter," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "That means a lot to me." Together, the two friends continued on their way to the field, and finally stopped when they had gotten to the place if events. Around the field were rolls of chairs prepared for the visitors who had come to watch them. "Let's join them," Peter said to Alex as he gestured to him to follow him. Alex nodded and the two of them walked over to where their classmates were and joined them. They were not the only students there, the seniors were there as well. After everyone had gathered, the event started. "Good day, ladies and gentlemen," a male voice sounded very loudly, the voice was able to cover the enter stadium. "It is the heroes academy inter-house sports festival once again and we welcome you to enjoy the show." As he spoke, five large screens appeared, hovering in the sky. "Today's test will be a little different from the other ones we have had," the voice said and then on the screen appeared five different place. "Look at the screen, everyone. You can all see that there five different places on it, these are the places the tests will take place. The students are going to be shared into five groups and these five groups will be teleported to their own testing ground." On the screen, the names of all the students appeared along with their pictures, then they began to share them into five groups. Alex's eyes were focused on the screen, he hoped that they would put him in the same group with Peter. Peter also hoped the same thing. "The students have now be shared," the voice announced and the students all appeared on the screen once more in their respective group formation. Peter was made the leader of group four but unfortunately, Alex's name wasn't there. Alex's heart skipped a bit as he searched for his name, soon, he saw his name under group five, he was the last person on the list. His heart fell and his shoulders dropped. Now, all his hope had been crushed to pieces and he could no longer be saved. Noticing this, Peter tapped him on the shoulder, he wore a reassuring smile on his face as he spoke to him. "It is just a test, you are going to make it, I believe." It was not too long, not exactly what Alex wanted to hear but it was enough. Alex stopped frowning and trued to smile. "We are going to make it," Peter said and Alex nodded in agreement. "Let the test begin!" The voice yelled and the crowds all screamed in excitement. The students now standing in their groups got enveloped in a blinding light and soon, they were seen vanishing one after the other. Seconds later, they all vanished only to reappear on the screen, in their respective test ground. Alex and his team were teleported to a large area with many abandoned buildings. "Listen up, students," the same voice spoke again. "This year's test won't be about fighting each other like you did last year. The test will be defeating the monsters that will come to attack you, and it will be evaluated by the number of monsters each group kills or also by their ranks. Take for example, if group A kills fifty D-ranked monsters while group B kills ten C or B-ranked monsters, the winner will be group B. This is how your test will be evaluated, we don't care how you win, just make sure your entire group win and also, don't end up dying out there, good luck!" The voice died down and the students began to mumble. "This is insane, so are they talking us that we must defeat high-ranked monsters before we are considered winners? The hell!" A senior student grunted in displease. "The test is pretty difficult," another senior student complained. She gazed at the junior students with them and scoffed. "They packed all the useless junior students into our group and expect us to win? Just how?" "The both of you should shut up!" The leader of the group said. He had black hair and blue eyes. "David, don't tell me you aren't bothered by this?" The girl asked him. "We don't have time to waste, let us start already," David replied and left. "He is going solo, we should do the same," the girl said to her friend who nodded. The both of them took another route, leaving Alex and his classmates behind. "What should we do?" Alex asked his classmates. They were seven in number. "Are you asking us? If it weren't for you who is useless, the seniors wouldn't have left us behind," a girl said to him. "How is it my fault that they left?" Alex asked, not able to understand why they hated him so much. "Everything is your fault, fool!" The girl said and stormed away. As she left, the other five followed her, leaving him behind.

"Hero Steven?" Alex mumbled and tried to jump out of the bed but Pter quickly grabbed him, holding him on place. Alex turned to Peter, staring at him with shock written all over his face. "What do you think you are doing by holding me here?" He asked him. "Hero Steven is my father and I need to go see things for myself!""No, you can't," Peter said to him. "Your leg hasn't completely healed, you can not be moving it around.""I dont care about my leg, it's my father they are calling a villain, I need to go warn them! They can call me names but not my family, not those I love!" Alex yelled and tried to move but Peter was firmly holding him, not allowing him to leave the bed. "Peter, please I need your help. You have to let me go to my father," Alex pleaded. "I need to see him now.""You can't, the news is everywhere and you can't be seen outside now," Peter said, trying to make him reason but it seems it wasn't working.

SSS-Ranked Necro-Villain Pain
"How am I supposed to know?" Alex asked David. Some of the students got killed from the attack, he somehow managed to survive, so what exactly did David mean? "Are tou indirectly saying I have a hand in their deaths?" He asked him. "That is not what I mean to say," David said firmly. "But you can't expect me to let it slide, do you?" "I dont care," Alex replied, causing David to become angry. "I am only alive because it's a miracle, I don't know what else you want me to say." Alex had to hide the fact that he's aware that his father was among the villains that had attacked the students. Besides, there was nothing else that happened during that period. He remembered he was under attack by a monster but David came to save him, and that was all. He remembered nothing else. "You—" David clenched his fists angrily. If not for the fact that the school had strictly warned them to hide the truth from Alex, he would have continued. "Fine," he mumbled and left the room. After he had le

He had no memory of how he got there or what had happened. The last thing he remembered was...His mind was a blank. He couldn't recall anything.Suddenly, a faint humming noise caught his attention.

He had to keep moving, had to burn off the excess energy that was building up inside him. The contents of the letter still swirled in his mind, the words seared into his brain.As he ran, the streets became a blur, the buildings and houses nothing more than fleeting shadows.

After Exams Party
The sun hung low on the horizon by the time the last bell rang, casting long shadows across the schoolyard. The air buzzed with a mix of exhaustion and relief as students poured out of the classrooms, their backpacks heavier with scribbled notes and half-used pens.After hours of back-to-back exams, the once energetic hallways now echoed with yawns and stretched limbs. Yet, despite the fatigue clinging to their bones, a shared excitement coursed through them, no more exams until next term. It was a thought sweet enough to wash away the memory of aching wrists and last-minute cramming.Peter swung his bag over his shoulder, grinning as he nudged Alex. "I thought those exams would never end. My brain's probably fried now."Alex gave a faint smile, his thoughts elsewhere, but even he couldn't deny the relief of finishing. Across the hall, Elizabeth leaned against the wall, arms crossed, her usual sharpness softened by a hint of weariness. She caught Alex's eye for a brief second before l
Exam
As the exam period arrives, the usual buzz of the school shifts into something more intense. Students scramble to cram last-minute notes, while others wear the tired expressions of sleepless nights.Alex, however, feels an odd sense of calm. Between secret fights in monster-filled portals and the chaos surrounding Elizabeth and Lilac, a written exam feels almost easy in comparison. Still, he knows better than to underestimate it.Peter leans back in his chair, stretching. "You ready for this?" he asks, his usual grin slightly strained."More or less," Alex replies, glancing at the neatly stacked notes on his desk. He catches a glimpse of Elizabeth across the room, she looked as composed as ever, though her fingers tap against her book impatiently.The door swings open, and Teacher Martin strides in with an armful of exam papers. "I hope you've all been preparing," he says, his gaze sweeping over the class before lingering a beat longer on Alex.As the papers are passed out, Alex exhal
Reward
Alex barely had time to catch his breath before the faint hum grew louder—a low, rhythmic vibration that made the ground tremble beneath his feet. His instincts flared in warning. Something was coming.He turned sharply toward the far end of the chamber, where the shadows seemed to ripple and twist. Then, with a bone-chilling hiss, another snake slithered into view—identical to the first. Two heads, gleaming green scales, and a pair of jagged horns pulsing faintly with power."You've got to be kidding me," Alex muttered, his hands clenching into fists. He was already exhausted, his muscles heavy from draining the first snake's energy. But there was no time to rest, this thing wasn't going to wait.The snake struck first. Both heads lunged in perfect synchronization, forcing Alex to dive to the side. The impact of their missed attack shattered the ground where he had stood moments before, sending shards of stone flying.He landed hard, pain jolting through his body. His regeneration wa
B-Rank
Alex wiped his hands on his hoodie, the foul-smelling ichor of the Caterpillar-Spider still clinging to his skin. His heart pounded in his chest, not just from exertion but from the rush—the thrill of using his abilities in a real fight. This was nothing like the lectures or the training. This was raw, unpredictable, and dangerous. Exactly what he had wanted.The cavern stretched ahead of him, the dim glow of bioluminescent fungi casting eerie shadows against the jagged walls. The air grew colder as he advanced, and the distant clicking sounds grew louder and sharper. More Caterpillar-Spiders. He clenched his fists, his body still aching but pulsing with the energy he had drained from the first monster."Bring it on," he muttered again, stepping forward.As if responding to his challenge, three more Caterpillar-Spiders emerged from the darkness. These were slightly smaller than the first but just as menacing—eight gleaming crimson eyes and venomous fangs dripping with poison. They mov
A Portal
Alex walked through the streets, looking for any possible job to do — He no longer had any money on him and he wanted to stop depending on Peter, his friend for his feeding.Unlike before when he could not do anything for himself, he now had an ability and with the help of his ability, he would get something doing.Since they were not yet qualified to go on missions, he would do it secretly — no one would find out as long as he hides his identity.He would have gone to his house but he wasn't ready to go there just yet — Not like he was afraid of memories returning, he didn't want to draw attention to himself because he believed that many had their eyes on him — he was certainly being watched."Hey, it's a portal!"As he walked with thoughts in his head, he didn't hear what the people were saying until he arrived at a place where there was a crowd. He looked ahead and saw how people gathered and we're mumbling about something, curious, he decided to check it out.As he arrived at the
Sick
"How is she doing?" Alex asked Peter as they both glanced at Elizabeth who was asleep on the bed. She was currently inside Alex's room.Peter narrowed his eyes as he stared at Elizabeth. "She's fine but it seems she exhausted herself way too much. She used too much of her strength while she is not supposed to," he replied.Alex did not understand some parts of what Peter said. "I don't understand," he said. "What do you mean she isn't supposed to use her full strength during fights?""Because she's frail," Peter replied and then sighed before continuing. "You don't know, right? Fine, come with me, let's talk outside."Alex furrowed his brows and then followed Peter outside after glancing at Elizabeth who was yet to open her eyes."So what is it that seems so important?" He asked his friend once they had gotten outside."Elizabeth is not truly the child of Victor Blackwood," Peter said. "She was just adopted because the wife of Victor could not give birth to her own child. There are ci
Trouble
Elizabeth did not understand why Alex prefered to run away instead of fighting back but the moment she saw the blood that had stained his shirt, she grabbed his hand and ran out of the bar.She ran with everything she's got, her mind racing. Occasionally, she glanced back to ensure that Alex was fine and each time she didn't see any sigh of pain on his face, she felt somewhat relieved though she wondered why.When they got far away from the bar, Alex stopped, causing her to abruptly stop. She thought something must have happened to him but when she looked at him, he was fine."That's enough," he told her.Elizabeth narrowed her eyes, still catching her breath. "Enough?" she echoed, her grip on his wrist tightening. "You were bleeding, Alex. What part of that is enough?"Alex glanced down at his shirt, the dark stain spreading slowly across the fabric. "It's not as bad as it looks," he said, his voice calm—too calm for someone who had just been bleeding."Not as bad—" She bit back her
Bar Girl (2)
Alex's fingers tightened around the glass as he placed it firmly on the table. His sharp gaze remained locked on Lilac. "The water you gave us has a fishy taste," he said, his voice calm but cold. "Why's that?"Lilac blinked, a flicker of surprise flashing across her face before her usual, enchanting smile returned. "I happened to add a substance," she replied sweetly, brushing a strand of silver hair behind her ear.Alex's expression hardened. "What substance?""I can't tell you." Her voice was light, playful. "It's our shop's top secret."He glanced briefly at Elizabeth, who still seemed caught off guard by the suddenness of his actions, then returned his attention to Lilac. "If you can't tell me, how do I know it's safe?"Lilac's smile didn't waver, but her eyes sharpened with something colder. "I never said it was safe," she murmured. "But it won't hurt you. Her, though…" She let the words hang in the air, knowing Alex would understand.A tense silence stretched between them befor
Bar Girl
Just as promised, Elizabeth's uncle was able to get information regarding Lilac and it sent to Elizabeth.After the first class, Elizabeth called Alex and handed the envelope to him."It didn't take you long," he commented as he collected the information from Elizabeth."My uncle's ability is to gather information regarding anyone as long as they within in this country," Elizabeth replied.Unlike before, she spoke nicely to Alex and Alex though aware, pretended like he didn't notice anything and continued in his usual tone."I see," he mumbled.'I might as well use her uncle and gather some information'. "Did you hear me?" Elizabeth suddenly asked him and he glanced up and looked at her.For the first time, their eyes met and it felt as though time slowed down for them. The two stared at each other, both having their thoughts but it seemed as though they were thinking the same thing."What did you say?" Alex who was the first to break free from whatever was happening asked her.Embar
