Chapter 87: Excursion [1]
Well that question last chapter definitely drawed everyone's attention...
Despite everyone having decent points, I personally think the answer is Goku.
The question was who'd be the weakest in THEIR verse. If Goku was a human they'd never make it past the Saiyan Saga.
Yes, he'd be strong. After all, humans like Roshi can destroy moons and then there's Krillin.
But come on, when was the last time someone thought of Krillin to be 'strong' with dudes like Beerus running around lol.
Naruto still has his chakra and sage mode, luffy can still become the strongest with Haki alone, like we've seen Roger and Shanks do and Gojo has...Gojo stuff.
I want everyone to know this is purely just my opinion...but my opinion happens to be right while yours is wrong (unless you agree with me. Anyone telling me otherwise will have their comments deleted)

OK...I've talking too much...
Enjoy

"Are you serious?"
In a familiar setting, behind a see-through wall, an individual in a lab coat spoke to a man in a neat black suit.
The suited man spoke in an urgent tone, despite having to whisper.
"Yes, I am. This is standard procedure. We must wait for the new equipment to arrive before letting him go." The Scientist retorted.
"Don't you know who that is? His father will have your licence for this inconvenience. For what? Just because you people couldn't stop a simple Terror rampaging in your lab?"
"Shh, that's classified information. We are supposed to inform the parents before we announce it."
"You don't see any students here, do you? There's no way they'll find out."
A difficult expression could be seen on the Scientist's face as his eyes darted between the boy on the other side of the wall and the suited man before him.
"Look, I get it. It isn't your fault you work in a place with no outside access including portals and teleportation, I mean, this place is practically a cave. But the only thing standing in the way of that boy's reunion with his father is you. How long will it take for the equipment to arrive?"
The suited man asked as the Scientist mumbled.
"Could be a few hours…could be a few days."
The suited man slowly shook his head as he sighed.
Seeing this, the Scientist groaned as he spoke with a forced smile, his expression being akin to a child with constipation.
"Well, if I'm being completely honest, he looks fine. The tests we were able to run show promising results…so I don't see a problem."
The suited man nodded his head with a smile as he patted the scientist on the shoulder.
"Yeah, exactly. That's all you need, Doctor's intuition, am I right?"
The Scientist nodded his head, his mind slowly becoming convinced as he ticked off a few boxes on his list.
"Yes, Doctor's Intuition." He said, looking at the brown haired boy with a combover and large, thick glasses who sat behind a desk with a few snacks before him.
"I hereby declare Oliver Clover an Inheritor."

-BANG
-BANG
-BANG
In a fairly sized space with sleek silver surfaces as well as dozens of training equipment, a boy with long auburn hair, that was usually styled backward but now rested on his forehead due to his vigorous movements, continuously struck the bag before him with whip-like kicks as harsh breathing could be heard.
-DING
However, he came to a stop as he noticed the swatch on his wrist let out a pleasant 'ding'.
[Everyone is ready. Have you completed your part in the plan? - Cain]
"Tsk"
Daniel clicked his teeth as he read the message, soon replying with a simple 'Yes' as he shut off his swatch and tossed it to the side.
'Pathetic.'
-BANG
'What kind of Euro takes orders from others?'
However, as Daniel thought this, he stumbled a little, the fatigue in his body just now becoming apparent to him.
Dropping to one knee, he breathed heavily as a puddle of sweat started to form below him.
'Get up!'
Gritting his teeth, Daniel chugged another potion, tossing the flask with enough power that it shattered against the wall.
But he didn't care.
Raising his leg, he continued to kick.
***
"I…I did it."
In the forest surrounding Aurelius, the sun peeked over the horizon as the early morning breeze caused the leaves and plant life to rustle and dance.
A boy with messy black hair and bright amber eyes could be seen on his hands and knees, barely able to stay up as his body shook violently.
Despite this, a large grin that went from ear to ear could be seen painted across his face.
"Finally…"
He spoke once more, his body finally letting out as he dropped to the ground, rolling on his back as he faced the sky.
With countless beads of sweat pouring down his face, the boy's chest could be seen moving up and down rhythmically.
'One day. Tomorrow is the day.'
The day of the excursion had come.
Due to the constant training and planning, it felt as though this past month had passed in a flash.
However…
"I'm ready."
Or at least, he was as ready as he could be.
Despite his best efforts, Isaac couldn't see the future. With the limited amount of knowledge he had, he'd done his best.
'I can only wait now.'
Isaac got to his feet as he exited the forest, rubbing his aching muscles.
The campus was packed more so than normal. With the Excursion coming up, the students were given a day off to prepare their belongings, despite only staying in Ashton City for four days.
'I can't wait to reach my hotel room.'
The students would be set up in a fancy hotel beside the Dojo. Though he would still have Zach as a roommate, he didn't mind.
This was because the hotel was one of luxury and usually housed the wealthy and elites of society.
Which really went to show the power the school had over Spawn.
'Well, it makes sense. They are affiliated with the S.A. after all.'
Since this was where everything would be happening, Isaac did his best to memorise every detail of Asthon, the Hale Dojo and the hotel they'd be staying in.
Firstly, the Dojo Showdown.
An event hosted by the Hale Dojo that saw all major Dojos in Spawn coming together to earn the title of 'Best Dojo'.
Of course, the Hale Dojo didn't involve themselves.
No, Spawn already recognised them as the greatest Dojo. It was no competition.
However, they did allow the winning Dojo's best student to challenge a Hale. Isaac simply guessed this was to reestablish their dominance, letting everyone know they were the greatest, thus keeping balance.
However, that final challenge was taken over by Harrison and Grandmaster Hale's bet.
Thus making the final battle of the Showdown Isaac Vs Jett.
The final battle of the Showdown was usually a large event. The Showdown itself caused most of Spawn to travel to Ashton City to watch the battles, while those who couldn't be there simply watched on their TVs.
Not to mention the Final Battle that attracted countless Inheritors that all of Aston City became incredibly crowded.
Additionally, the Showdown had already started, scheduled to end the day Aurelius were to complete their excursion and return back.
'Meaning I don't have to sit through the whole tournament.'
Isaac was happy with this.
He didn't have to watch meaningless fights.
'I might learn something if I watch, but considering I have to prepare for an incoming genocide, I'd rather not waste my time.'
"Isaac!"
As Isaac was deep in thought, he heard his name as he raised his head, only to be met with Zach who could be seen running away from their dorm, wearing an urgent expression.
"Zach, what…"
"It's Oliver!"
Isaac couldn't finish his question before he was cut off, but as Zach spoke, Isaac instantly felt his heartbeat increase and eyes widened.
"He's done it! He's alive!"
***
"I heard you can apply to be a solo competitor in the Dojo Showdown. Are you going to be applying?"
A boy with overgrown and bushy hair that flowed down his back spoke to a shorter girl who wore round glasses and the same uniform as the boy, the only difference being her skirt.
"No. It doesn't interest me." Amara replied as they both walked through campus, drawing the eyes of those they passed as the path was cleared for them as they went.
Cain displayed an unsatisfied expression as he stared.
"Are you sure? It'll be fun. After the incident with the intruder, I saw that you can fight."
Amara snapped her head toward Cain.
"I'm sorry, was there any doubt to begin with?"
Cain raised his hands as he quickly shook his head to clear all misunderstandings.
"No, it's just that I've never seen you fight before. I was starting to assume you were a member of the Golden Six because of your Alchemy skills, like Ava and her healing."
Cain calmed down a bit upon seeing Amara back away, looking forward again.
"After the intruder disappeared, you were the only person who was able to see what was happening despite the light."
Amara shook her head.
"Not everyone is a Saiyan barbarian who only cares about fighting, you know. I can fight, I'm just…not as public with it as you are."
Cain chuckled as he heard this, rubbing the back of his head.
"Well, you can't blame me. Most students can't accept me as the Rank 1. I am an Outsider who came out of nowhere and suddenly joined the Golden Six, after all."
Amara stared at Cain, soon shrugging her shoulders as she nodded.
He wasn't wrong.
It had gotten so bad that Cain decided to fly to classes and around campus.
Not because he didn't want to fight. No, he enjoyed fighting.
But his empathetic nature made it so he went easy on the students, seeing as how they were nowhere near his level, thus making the battles more boring and tedious rather than enjoyable.
"Wouldn't your parents like to see you on the big screen?" As Cain said this, he was quick to notice Amara's expression falter as she gritted her teeth.
"That's none of your business." Amara snapped, leaving Cain bewildered and taken aback.
"Oh, alright. Sorry." He replied in a deflated tone.
However, the awkward air didn't last for long as the two of them noticed two students running toward them, pushing and knocking over students as they went with no regards to their surroundings.
"Sorry! Sorry! Oh, I'm sorry about that!"
"Stop apologising, you're slowing us down."
Amara and Cain paused as they watched, soon raising an eyebrow.
"Isn't that…"
Before Amara could ask, the two students zoomed past her, not even sparing them a glance.
The both of them looked back, confused as they simply took a second to stare.
"I wonder what has them in a hurry." Cain asked in a nonchalant tone.
"Who cares? Let's go, we're late to meet Amara and her loud friend."
Amara replied, drawing Cain's attention as he nodded.
"Ah, you're right."
The both of them continued to walk as Cain helped up anyone he could, all while Amara glared at him for wasting more time.
***
Rapid steps could be heard as Isaac and Zach shot toward a large windowless facility that appeared in the distance.
It appeared small, as if it were a one story home with a few bedrooms. But Isaac knew this couldn't be all and there was most likely more underground.
But this wasn't his main focus.
With them leaving campus and just passing the higher grade dorms, they drew closer to the facility just before the forest.
Since there were no more people, Zach didn't need to hide his speed, letting his strengthened Ghoul physicality loose.
Additionally, Isaac infused some Nen into his feet to increase his speed.
Because of this, the both of them travelled at terrifying speeds, faster than a race car, soon reaching the facility as they slowed down.
Zach wanted to commend Isaac's speed as Isaac wanted to do the same, however, before they could, they witnessed the doors to the facility open.
The two students froze as time seemed to slow with them.
The brisk breeze that had been colliding against their face seemed as though it had halted as all sound of nearby mother nature disappeared.
The only movement one could see was the swinging door as the sound of it slightly creaking resounded in the area.
It wasn't until a figure stepped out, wearing the same uniform as the two boys, his hair styled in a combover and large thick glasses on his face, that Zach and Isaac could feel their heart leap.
"Hey, guys."
Oliver grinned widely as he waved his hand.
"What have I missed?"
