Chapter 31: No Hiding Place
Fiona could see from Mark's eyes that he was not convinced. She thought that she would be able to convince him about going to the island and also make him interested in their guild at the same time, but it turns out that things cannot be that simple! Mark was going to need a lot more proof for him to see that he should go to that island alone!
"Very well then. You do not seem convinced, so let us take an excursion! I'm sure you'll feel a lot more willing to listen to what we have to say when you see what we have seen."
Fiona's blessing flowed out from her once again and spread in all directions before grabbing hold of a man from over a kilometer away! Her blessing was strong enough that even from his distance, the man could understand what she wanted and obeyed her!
Ratatatatata!!!
The man was the driver of the helicopter and he was immediately forced to bring the helicopter towards them by Fiona's power! This was how easy it was for Fiona to get anything that she wanted! She didn't even have to say a single word! Just spreading her blessing was enough for her to get anything that she wanted from anyone around her! In the eyes of humans, she was literally Aphrodite herself!
Mark was skeptical about going with the superhumans now. He knew that there was no need for him to wait for their help since he was going to get a helicopter from Pat later today, but Mark also had no idea what he was going to be meeting on that island! Pat already said it before that there were many heat signatures on that island and that meant that there were many monsters there! It would be better to learn more about he monsters there and what kind of ranking those monsters had before going to save Arit. Mark was desperate to try and get Arit out of there, but he wasn't stupid enough to believe that he could fight through a nest of Calamity Class monsters!
The helicopter landed a few meters away from them and Tilda bid them farewell as she had to go and look after Lightning Rider and make sure that the treatment was going well! She thanked Fiona and Tylor fo coming to help out in the battle and Fiona only scoffed and told her that the Phoenix Guild owed the Artemis Guild a lot for the help that they gave them here and she would be calling in the favor at a later date!
Tilda understood how the world of superhuman politics worked and she just thanked Fiona once more before she left. Once Tilda was gone, they all walked towards the helicopter and entered before it took off towards the National Superhuman Agency.
...
Arit was cold! She huddled in on herself and shivered as she felt an intense cold dig deep into her bones and make her entire body hurt! Her wet uniform and socks only added to the cold and it made her head feel like it was filled with water! There was no solace from the cold in this place and the only thing that she could do was to hug herself tightly and hope that she would not be noticed by the many monsters that were walking around here!
Arit had never seen something like this in her life! She was in an underground cavern that had stalactites growing from the ceiling and glowing with a light green hue to provide light for the environment and that allowed her to get a glimpse of the things that surrounded her! There were monsters everywhere!
Ant-headed monsters, fish-headed monsters, and even some monkey-type Anima moved across the cavern floor, carrying scraps of food. Sometimes they would take animal flesh and at other times they would take fish and even octopus deeper into the cavern. There was no stopping and they just continued to do this while ignoring Arit as she froze to death on the floor!
Arit had never read about something like this. She was someone that always wanted to know new things so she loved to read and Arit had never heard of monsters working together like this! Why were they working together? According to what Arit studied, the Anima were mindless creatures that only followed their natural instinct to attack humans once they saw them! But if that is the case, then Arit knew that she should be dead and the monsters here should not be working together!
Were the humans wrong? Did they just not understand enough about the Anima and they went ahead and thought that Anima were all mindless creatures that had no purpose? Or maybe this was something new that humans have just never seen before. Maybe the Anima were evolving.
All these thoughts went through Arit's mind and she only hugged herself tighter as the intensity of the situation made her shiver once more!
'Mark, please. Save me.'
Arit could only think like this as she felt her body slowly going still. She had been hiding in the staff room, watching the television and trying to see if GHOST would win against the ant-headed anima that attacked the city, but she was stunned when she saw the face of GHOST! She had been looking for Mark all this time, but she had no idea that Mark was actually outside there fighting against that monster! She felt so stupid at that moment when all the various signs finally came into her mind and clicked into place!
All the times that Mark would disappear from class and from the house! And all the time that he would come back with an injury that was too serious to be left untreated and she would have to help him so that it doesn't get infected! Arit thought that Mark was just a Hooligan who liked to fight on the street and someone who likes to play hooky! She had no idea that he was actually a superhuman!
She should have known! All the signs were right in front of her and she just kept on denying it because she trusted Mark more than anyone in her life! She was so stupid! She should have known!
Arit kept on thinking in this manner while she was hiding in the staff room, but she didn't have any time to react as she suddenly heard a massive force crash into the window of the staff room and into the room! Arit turned around in shock and she saw that it was a fish-headed anima that was looking around her room and sniffing the air. She immediately hid under the table and held her mouth with both hands! What was an Anima doing here? I thought that the superhumans were taking care of them!

Chapter 32: Seduction
"I don't know if I'll be able to, but I ain't going nowhere without giving you lovely people a first-class view of the handsome devil himself…!!"
There were multiple journalists and even some Metube influencers surrounding the helicopter on every side as it landed! No matter what the guards did, they couldn't stop the reporters from going crazy and trying to break through to see Mark and ask him some questions! It felt like the president himself was walking out from the copter! In fact, the president wouldn't even have these many people coming to see him! This was the largest crowd that the NSA has ever seen since superhumans started appearing four years ago!
Mark could hear the sounds of the reporters even over the loud sound that the helicopter was making as it landed outside the National Superhuman Association building and Mark came down from the helicopter along with Tyler and Fiona.
"Mark! Mark! Do you have anything to say to the people at home?"
"How do you feel now that your identity has been revealed!?"
"Was there a reason behind you hiding your identity!? Are there people after you!?"
"Markie! Won't you take a picture with Cutiepie!? Smile for the camera!"
"Are you afraid that there will be more monsters to fight now that you defeated such a powerful Anima!?"
"You are with Fiona and Tyler from the Artemis guild, do you intend to finally give up the solo act and join a guild!? Are you going to join the National Superhumans Association or are you going to remain as a vigilante!?"
Questions were raining down on Mark nonstop, and Mark had to try his best to not hurt anyone as he pushed the cameras and microphones away from his face! Journalists were always so annoying; this is another reason why Mark didn't want to reveal his identity in the first place! Superhumans were some of the most popular people in the world, and there was never any privacy when they were involved. Journalists and the press were always trying to get either an interview or an exclusive statement! It was too overbearing because they just didn't know when to stop! They would keep trying until they got too far!
There have been situations where superhumans have become too annoyed with journalists and injured them while trying to get them away! It was probably just a small mistake since a superhuman is so strong that a simple slap would be enough to decapitate a human at once! But the media did not see it that way, and the superhuman was fined and restricted from going out in public by the NSA for a long time as punishment! As far as the media and the NSA were concerned, the humans were the weaker ones, so they deserved to be treated better than the superhumans!
Mark constantly had to move microphones out of his face, and he grabbed one of the microphones and threw it behind him when a journalist constantly tried to press it against his face!
Fiona and Tyler were also being asked a lot of questions, but they both ignored the press just like Mark, and the three of them finally managed to make it to the building and enter inside to get away from the journalists. It was silent inside the building, but there were many people who stopped moving once they saw Mark, and they began to point to him and murmur among themselves! The staff here were mainly humans, so they were just as awed by Mark's presence as the journalists outside!
There were a few people that didn't bother to stop and stare though, and one of them walked up to the trio of superhumans and spoke to Fiona! She was a beautiful woman with large breasts and a short stature that only made her chest stand out far more than it should have! She had red hair and blue eyes, and her eyes were constantly glancing towards Mark as she spoke.
She wore a business suit and a black skirt that only went down to her knees, and she carried a tablet that she was constantly looking down at when she talked! She also wore a pair of large glasses, and Mark noticed that she was always touching it while glancing at him! She would push it up or just brush her hand against it, so Mark could only assume that she had some sort of complex about it! She looked to be around twenty years old, so she must have just graduated from the university recently. Did they use to tease her about her glasses?
Mark was too confused to notice that she was trying to grab his attention by what she was doing, and Mark did not even bother to give her another glance! He couldn't start thinking of what she was trying to do since his mind was too occupied thinking about what Arit could be going through. He wanted to be done with this as quickly as possible!
"Madam Fiona, we've prepared a room for you all. You can come right this way. The chairman is not in the building right now, but he heard about your request, and he has given us permission to show you what you want. There will be restrictions placed on what you can see since Master Mark has not yet been registered with the NSA, but I believe we can give enough information to allow Master Mark to make a decision."
The woman looked down at her clipboard again before she started to lead them away from the main reception area and deeper into the building. Mark couldn't help but notice that she was walking directly in front of him and her hips were swaying more than necessary! The woman didn't even try to hide the way that she was walking, and when they got to the room that they were meant to go into, she held the door open and glanced right at Mark.
"I hope you have a pleasant meeting. If you need anything. Anything at all~ Please, don't hesitate to find me."
The woman handed her card over to Mark, and Mark only glanced down at it for a moment before looking back at her curiously. Her suggestive tone and the things she said while looking right at him immediately made him realize what she was talking about, and Mark raised a brow as she turned and walked down the hallway while still swaying her hips like crazy! Was this some sort of joke? She was definitely trying to flirt with him, and there was no doubt that her last words were an invitation for him to find her. Mark shook his head and looked away from the woman as she turned the corner. He put her card in his pocket and decided that he would forget about it. This was something that he had never experienced before, so it was a big surprise for him! Were all superhumans treated like this? When he was a vigilante, no one ever tried something like this with him!
"Unimaginative slut. It will do you good to ignore people like her. There are a lot of them in the world of superhumans, and they will all want a piece of you since you are so powerful. You might bite off more than you can chew if you are not careful, little brother~"
