The next day, everyone is just hectic. Because today is the 14th of February, and it’s Vincent’s birthday. Luckily, he was still asleep after spending so much power yesterday. His friends also came, Olivia, Francine and then the Philips twins. They helped with the preparation. Vincent will now turn 18, and thus actually the first time after 10 years that Vincent will celebrate his birthday here with them. The thing is, it’s already afternoon and Vincent is still not awake. That boy doesn’t even know that it’s actually his birthday today. Victor arrived with his family that he will introduce to Vincent later, he also brought a whole roasted pig. Everyone is here, except for Ben, Ronald, Alvin, Angelica and then Anne. After what it seems to be days of sleeping, Vincent woke up and stood up his bed. He grabbed a towel and immediately went to take a shower. He changed his clothes into his normal ones and then he went down. Hearing that Vincent is
The party ended with Vincent still in shock at what he is actually seeing. Before his friends could leave, they told Vincent that only Olivia and Francine are getting drafted. The twins will not be getting drafted, they were selected, but they declined the offer as they still want to study and they are feeling that they are still not ready for the big stage yet, someday, 7 years from now, they’ll meet again on the same stage and be comrades. The Miles family is now at the living room and the letters that Vincent received are all on this coffee table. 50 letters. He received a staggering 50 letters from squads. He just broke his father’s record which is 43 letters and then Victor’s record which was 44 letters. It was just impressive. None of them really knew the exact number of letters. But what confused Vincent is the fact that Violet sent an invitation, which was against the rules of their squad, since the Amazonian Tigers only accepts women, not men. Vio
Before Vincent could leave for Hail-Town, he said goodbye to his father and his siblings. It will be a while before they meet each other again since Vincent will be committing on his duty as a hero, so does his siblings. Jameson hugged his son as Vincent then went aboard the private plane of the Brown Bears. Vincent looked out the window as they took flight. The Hail-Town City is at the northern continent. A small urban city that is under the jurisdiction of the Brown Bears. That city has been in the hands of the Brown Bears for a hundred years now, and they still continue to trust the Bears despite the criticism against them. People say that the Brown Bears are nothing but a squad of ruffians and scoundrels. But to Vincent, they are the true symbol of heroism despite all the hate. That’s why chose them as a squad that he will join. Anthony then sat in front of Vincent as he offered him some wine. Vincent obliged and Anthony poured wine in Vincent’s glass.“
The Brown Bears gathered 1,200 men and women from all over the world. It’s still big compared to the other squads who have acquired only hundreds and not thousands. Nevertheless, Anthony proceeded with his aim. He explained to the new recruits, that even though this squad is dubbed as the worst squad in the world, they are still heroes at the end of the day. They save and they protect. Risking ones life doesn’t need permission, if anyone ever feels that risking ones life is the only way, then they are free to do something heroic. The Brown Bears are a free squad, however, ranks matter too. Anthony then explained the ranks of the Hero system, since it isn’t taught in schools. There are 7 ranks and the names of those ranks derived from the famous chess game. The lowest one obviously was the Pawn. In heroism, the pawns are the weakest link of the association. However, they are not to be underestimated as pawns are as important as the other pieces. Next rank t
It took 8 hours to reach Rockmington. And as the commander and Vincent walked down the airport, just like what happened in Hail-Town, people are waiting outside the airport to welcome Vincent, their newest member. Cameras are flashing, but since Ian needs to brief this brat quickly, he used his powers. Thunder clapped throughout the sky and with just a blink of an eye, the two were gone. Using his lightning powers, Ian and Vincent arrived in front of the 16th Division HQ. They went in and people saluted at Ian. They immediately went to the Commander’s office to brief Vincent. Ian told him that Vincent will not be on the field. Instead, he will be here in the office, handling documents, and if gets a green light from Ian, then he will go out there and save people. Since Brown Bears cause a lot of trouble, the squad is always flooded with complaints and some other documents. So, the Division needs al the help they can get for the documents to be handled quick
It might be impossible, but yes, it has been 6 months since Vincent joined the Brown Bears, and there no developments on his position. He still assigned at the office and forbidden to even do hero stuff outside. He is getting maltreated, the number of papers that the Commander is giving him is just too many for him to even handle. It’s been a week now since he last came to his apartment to rest, that means that he is truly restless. There’s no rest available for him, since everyone is preoccupied to take his position even for just a minute. He has been promoted though, he is now appointed to an office working job, but he is now in the crime document division. They are the ones responsible for handling the crime documents of this city and it’s pretty interesting as Vincent is getting to know which criminal to target if he is ever allowed to be put on patrol. As he was reading one document, a pile of papers has been placed on his desk again,“Commander s
“A tragic, August 19th of the year 2022, people of the city of Rockmington have experienced the worse natural disaster yet in the history of the world. Earthquakes happened even though there aren’t any earthquakes reported in the cities nearby. Storms, blizzards, hurricanes and many more are all over the city an is endangering the lives of the innocent citizens! Luckily, the disaster early doesn’t have any casualties. But only time will tell when that city is going to suffer a lot worse in the future. May God help them all.” And so said the newscaster.After tending to the injured a clearing up the streets that is covered with fallen debris, the 16th division gathered in front of the HQ to discuss the actions that shall be made in accordance with the disasters that is happening throughout the city that is under jurisdiction. After what happened earlier, no one is going to consider this as a natural disaster anymore. It&rs
It’s been two weeks since Vincent has been appointed to the 10th unit, and he is doing pretty great. There are no natural disasters happening over the past 2 weeks, but everyone is now ready if it suddenly hits. Vincent wasn’t removed from the 10th unit as the unit itself has learned to appreciate what Vincent was doing. The fact that the division kept such a great talent to handle just documents was absurd. The kid was fantastic. He is leading the unit in some crime scenes if it’s necessary. Even the commander is impressed on what Vincent is doing. Vincent’s chances of winning the rookie of the year are rising significantly and the other rookies are now worrying as Four-Eyed Miles has officially debuted 2 weeks ago. Sophia, who is currently the 3rd rookie in the rankings was very delighted to know that his idiot brother is now in action. Like, everyone is just so glad that the supposed super rookie is now out in the streets.
2 days after the bank robbery, there are still no changes in the crime rate of this city. Well, that’s how it goes. Even though there are police officers around and some military men, heroes are still the one responsible for the peace and order of the world. The men and women in uniforms are just there to maintain the balance. Police do their jobs of the street-level crimes, but if a hero manages to find and caught someone red-handed, then they are to take action immediately. Speaking of catching someone red-handed, Vincent is now in an alleyway and is carrying two criminals who snatched someone’s purse and ran away. The two had knives, so Vincent was forced to knock them out. He called for a police vehicle to bring these two to the station and charge them for the crimes they’ve committed. Vincent brought the purse back to the poor old lady as he then went to go on patrol. He was just made as an official member of the 10th unit. After seeing Vincent’s records in his curre
Plague rose to his feet and then spat out blood as his wound on his chest started to smoke and heal,“That bastard. He covered his hostility so well that I didn’t even feel it until the last second. We have been had! Shit! Know where that bastard is going!” Plague yelled as the atmosphere in the area starts to intensify.Plague then went to his brother’s assistance as his right arm has been cut, and Plague then healed it, but unfortunately, he can’t regenerate it. It is because the attack was different, it has the intensity of a devil and the holiness of an angel. That is something that has never happened before. Both worlds colliding to create a powerful attack like that is not some kind of joke and this is the first time everyone has seen it. Which makes this upcoming battle more exciting. They have all seen a man wielding hundreds of blades before, but he himself holds a single type of blade. But not this guy,“Kendrick Griffin. You have carved your name in my mind. I promise to ki
Kendrick is now awake, and he is now preparing for another night in this vast and dangerous place. As he rose to his feet, the presence of vicious demons around them was the first thing he felt. It was an unpleasant feeling as he just woke up after a long fight last night, and now, it seems that nothing is over yet and nothing is sure as long as they stay in this place.“You guys, what have you—oh my! What the fuck happened?!” Kendrick snapped.He then looked around, as he made another mistake. Erika, Johnny, and Janella are now gone, and he doesn’t know where they went. He then tried to grab on the string that he attached to each and every one of them, but it was no use, the string has been severed, and he is the only attached to it.“Fuck!” Kendrick cursed as he thrashed around the camp in frustration.He blamed himself for what is happening, as if he didn’t sleep, the three might still be here. Kendrick felt lost and confused and frustrated. He sat on the ground just sighing hard a
After the decimation of the demons all over the city, except for the mutants, Kendrick and Johnny just stood there in disbelief. Kendrick and Tsukuyomi were still shaking for some reason,“There is no time to doze off! I’ll handle the mutants, Johnny, please go to Erika!” Kendrick ordered as he then ran towards the charging mutants.Johnny doesn’t want to get ordered by an 18-year-old kid, but since Kendrick has a point and the one who will help him get back to his village, he will let everything slide for now as he then went to run to Erika who is now collapsed on the store’s floor.“Hey! You, okay?!” Johnny rushed towards her and just laid her nicely so she can relax.“Y-Yeah. Just a bit *cough* exhausted. I have never released that much energy before, so, yeah, I am just fine.” Erika replied as she breathes heavily and then coughs.After a few minutes, Kendrick arrived with green goo dripping down his holy sword. He entered the store and immediately told them to get ready to go as
Johnny continued his story, and then eventually told Kendrick and Erika that he needs to go back to his village, but he does not have the ability to do so as he is not strong enough to defend himself from hordes of demons that are much stronger than him, and another is that he is definitely outnumbered. Kendrick, who was listening put the fire out after cooking their dinner as the whole store is being filled with some and it will get hard to breathe if they continue this fire. As they ate, Kendrick asked him,“Why do you want to go back anyway?” Kendrick asked as he sipped on his corn and crab soup.“I have something to recover. Something the village elder told us to get once the village is annihilated, and I think that thing is important if the elder insisted to us like that.” Johnny replied as he then continued to eat.Erika was just wolfing down her food and was never butting in in the conversation as she has got nothing to say in this.“So, I am here to ask for help—”“No!” Kendri

The battle, which was already intense earlier, got much more nerve-racking. The clash between the two was faster than earlier, and it was just incredible and terrifying at the same. Because the fact that a student is doing these kinds of things and having a full form of an angel is not something to see every day. Normally, swordsmen and women would have to take at least decades to perfect their forms. And not everyone can activate this kind of form as it only works for the chosen ones. The swords community is now watching the battle from afar. Since a lot of them have injuries and won’t make it in time to reach the camp, they decided to stay in this position for a while and tend to the wounded. And they are also here to make sure that Kendrick will have reinforcements once he asks for it. As they watch, one of the swordsmen then approached Jason and the commander,“Sir, Ma’am. I got something.” The man says.He then took out his camera that is connected to every public screen througho
Not wanting to hurt his family even though they are fake, has left Kendrick crawling around the church’s floor, begging his family to stop. He has every ability and strength to defeat all of them, especially the demon that are controlling them. However, he is not to use that power against his family. It has been a month and a half since this one-sided fight started, and Kendrick can feel that he would die in this. He can’t handle it. Amaterasu was right, this is the most brutal and gruesome stage of the entire 100 years of training. The pain, the agony and grief cannot be described in this. Kendrick is even wondering that how can they call this a training when it is meant to leave physical and mental trauma to those who undergoes it.“What is the matter, Ken? Don’t you rather join us, than to avenge us?” all of them said at once.Kendrick stood up and faced them,“I do want to join you guys. Because without vengeance, I would serve no purpose. But I refuse to die in the hands of some
5 more years have passed, and Kendrick’s skin is starting to turn gray as the water is starting to become little blades. Kendrick, who can now project a physically able umbrella made from energy. Amaterasu knows that it won’t be long until Kendrick forms a fully and complete one. Kendrick on the other hand is now feeling the pain, the chills and exhaustion. He never knew that he would hold out this long, but he is long before completing this first stage of his training. His beard grew more, and he doesn’t even know how long he has been sitting here and was meditating. As far as he knows, he has been here much longer than he is expecting. However, even though he has fortified his mind and is not letting doubts, hesitations and fears get in him, his body, his human flesh, is weak. His mind is not giving up, but his body is worn out and is wanting to quit this suffering and just die. But his determination and sheer willpower alone is not letting him. Because in his mind, no matter what a
