"Wait! Where the hell do you think you're going!? Why are you even moving!?"
Fiona lost her cool and suddenly shouted at Mark as she noticed that he was not under her control! This was the first time that she would ever experience something like this, so she had no idea how to react! It was too shocking! She took a deep breath once she saw Mark stop moving, and she decided that she had to use a different strategy here. It was obvious that her blessing was useless against Mark.
Is it because he is of a far higher Rank than her? How was that possible?
Fiona's blessing only failed when the person she was trying to entrap was far higher than her in Rank! But even as an A Rank, Fiona was still one of the strongest A ranks in the world, and she could easily trap low-level S ranks! There were only a few S Ranks in the whole world who could withstand her power, and she knew them all, so she was certain that there shouldn't be anyone capable of resisting her. But yet, there was someone else who could resist her blessing! It fucking pissed her off!
"We need you to come with us. There are a lot of unanswered questions, and the NSA would like to have a few words with you about what happened here."
Fiona decided that she would just try to get Mark to come with them instead of trying to lure him using her ability.
The NSA? Mark was confused for a moment as he heard this before he remembered that the NSA was the governing body for superhumans in America. The National Superhuman Association was like the Superhuman Government that was separate from the actual government! Mark has never had to deal with them before because he was always working in the shadows. As a vigilante, the NSA had no idea who Mark was, so there was no way for them to try and force him under them. But now that his face was revealed, they would do anything to get him.
Mark didn't mind registering with the NSA, but he was not going to do that now. He first needed to make sure that Arit was alright, then he could go and do whatever they wanted him to do.
"Sorry, maybe you can set a different date or something. There is someone I have to look for right now, and I can't leave them alone without knowing if they are alright."
Mark was about to leap away again, but Fiona's next words froze him in place. Fiona put her palm against her cheek and turned away with a small smile.
"It's that girl. Arit, that was her name right~? You shouldn't worry about her, she is safe. I sent a few soldiers to make sure of it. You should just come with us and we'll discuss first."
Doom!
Fiona's eyes widened as a massive pressure suddenly fell upon the area! She looked at Mark, and she saw that his entire body was radiating intense anger! Mark glared at Fiona and took a threatening step forward!
"If there is even a single hair missing on her head when I see her. Talking to me will be the very least of your problems."
Fiona quickly began to surge mana through her body as she anticipated a fight from Mark! She didn't know what sort of person Mark was, and she wasn't sure if he would attack her on the spot or not, but she was not going to risk it! They managed to do a quick search into Mark's life once they saw his face on TV, and they found a weakness that they could exploit to get him to cooperate with them so he doesn't go out of control! It was the only way that they could think of to make him do what they wanted since superhumans are always unpredictable!
But Fiona realized that she should have been more careful with how she told him about them taking Arit. Fiona was not a frontline fighter, and she knew that she would not be able to withstand an attack from Mark since her blessing didn't work on him! She should have come here with Tyler!
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Fiona's comm began to ring, and Fiona grunted in annoyance as she pressed the button to answer.
"What is it? I'm not in the best position to talk since I'm a little busy right now. If you want to say something, then come here and tell me."
Fiona tried to make things even out by bringing some reinforcement, but the person on the other end of the call didn't come with any sort of good news.
[Madam Fiona, there is a problem. The girl is missing from the school!]
Fiona blinked in shock and glanced at Mark for a moment before she took another step back and asked them to explain what the fuck they meant by she was missing from the school!
Fiona only sent the men to retrieve Arit now, and she thought that she would already be in their custody since they knew exactly where Nature Academy was, but now they were saying that she wasn't there!? What kind of bullshit is that!? Arit is only a normal human, and the men that went to retrieve her were all E and F rank Superhumans! There is no way she can run away from people like that!
[We searched through the bunker and the entire school, and we couldn't find any traces of the girl. But there was something else. A fight broke out in one of the classrooms. There are scratch marks.. and blood.]
Fiona could feel her heart beating faster and faster! The thing that the man was saying was making it sound like Arit was dead! There is no way! They couldn't possibly have that much bad luck! Fiona glanced at Mark once more, and she watched her words and made sure not to say anything that would make him deduce what they were talking about! Fiona knew that Arit was the most important person to Mark, and she didn't want to risk angering Mark now since she knew that his power was almost on par with other S Ranks.
If an S rank goes on a rampage in anger, then there is nothing anyone can do to stop that S rank from destroying at least three cities! It would take another S rank to stop them, and that fight would also end badly for the regular humans since they are the ones that would be trampled on by the Superhumans! After all, when two elephants fight, only the grass beneath their feet feels it the most.
Fiona whispered into the phone.
"Find her. I don't care what method you use. I don't care how much time it takes. Find her now and take her into custody. If there is no body, then I am sure she is not dead, just find her!"
"Hey."
"!"
Fiona turned around sharply as she suddenly saw Mark standing right in front of her, and she had to crane her neck up to get a good look at his face! She had no idea that he was so tall! He had been standing far from her just a second ago, and she wasn't able to really measure their height difference, but now that they were standing chest to chest like this, she could tell that she was not even as tall as his shoulders!
Ah~ I want a contract. Sigh~
Please comment!
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
"Fiona measured how fast Mark must've moved in her mind and she decided that he was at least as fast as Tyler. Tyler needs to hurry up and finish with those Disaster classes so he can come here to help her!
"I'm going to search for Arit right now and you better pray to your government that I find her. There are limits to what a person can endure from your NSA. You came here and told me that you have her in custody and now I am hearing that she has gone missing? Does your government really want to make an enemy of me that badly?"
Mark didn't give a damn if he made the entire world his enemy at this point. If he learns that something happened to Arit, then he would immediately start throwing hands. He would beat the crap out of everything and everyone in his path as he looks for her! The entire world could go to hell, but Mark was never going to allow his precious people to get into trouble because of his powers.
Fiona grit her teeth inside her mouth once she heard this to prevent herself from showing any weaknesses! She was sure that Mark was going to attack her, but after a few seconds of glaring at her, Mark leaned back.
This is the exact reason why Mark never wanted to tell Arit about his power and also why he wore a mask for so long. Superhumans are not treated in the same way that humans are treated. The government is always trying to find a way to put restrictions on Superhumans and they will try anything just to find a weakness. Mark's only weakness at this moment was Arit and he was not going to forgive anyone that touched her!
[Mark! Mark! Listen to me! There's a problem! A big problem! The tracker that we placed on Arit is going crazy!]
Mark's AirPod came to life and Mark could hear Pat's frantic voice shouting over the comm. Mark put his hand up and frowned as he asked Pat what happened to Arit's tracker. Pat placed a tracker on himself and Mark a long time ago in case there was ever a situation where one of them was kidnapped and they couldn't escape on their own. That way, they would be able to find the other person and bring help!
But Mark realized that Arit was also someone who could be kidnapped to get to him, so he told Pat to place a tracker on Arit as well! It was morally questionable and they knew that Arit would be pissed if she ever found out that they did it, but Mark was overprotective of Arit and he was not going to let her get in danger because of her relationship with him! If she was ever in danger, Mark was going to be there to get her out of it!
"What's happening to the tracker? Were you able to find out where she is?"
Pat was already tracking Arit once he heard what Fiona said about having her in custody, but once he traced the location of the tracker, he couldn't believe what he saw! The NSA sure as hell doesn't have her because she was in an unbelievable place! He was staring at an image of the tracker somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!
[Mark, I don't think your wife is with the government at all! But that can't be right, it doesn't make sense! If the tracker is right then she is somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!? And she is moving at an insane speed!]
"…?"
Mark could only blink in surprise and frown! Did Pat just say that Arit was in the middle of the ocean!? That had to be a lie! That couldn't possibly be true! Mark turned to Fiona and spoke in a hurry.
"What did your men find when they went to the school? Didn't they see Arit inside the bunker?"
Mark had a theory, but he didn't want to believe it even though a small part of him was already telling him that he was right, and when Fiona placed her hand on her cheek and frowned while shaking her head, Mark knew that he was right! Arit never went into the bunker after he left! What the heck is wrong with that stupid girl!? Can't she think about her own life for once!?
Mark put his hand on his head and started to think deeply. There was a high chance that Arit was attacked by a monster if she was outside of the bunker. The Anima attack reached all the way to the school, so they would have sensed Arit if she was not in the bunker.
But then, if they sensed Arit, why didn't they just kill her and keep moving? This was a question that ran through Mark's mind and Mark had no answer for it as he could only wonder what the monsters were trying to do. There have been strange things happening since that Disaster Class monster first appeared on the shore of the city yesterday.
Why was the Calamity class only aiming for Mark during this fight? There were other Superhumans there, but the Calamity class completely ignored them and came for Mark alone! And now that Arit was missing, they say that she is somewhere in the middle of the ocean!? These things have to be related!
Did they take Arit because they also know that I am close to her?
Mark wondered if Arit had been taken by an Anima in an effort to lure him out. But that wasn't possible! Were the Anima ever capable of that much planning? Could they ever think that deeply before? They have always been creatures of destruction and this incident is the first time that they have attacked in a group of more than two! They have never had a plan when attacking people!
But Mark was sure that this couldn't be a coincidence! There was a high chance that Mark was right and he was the reason behind all of this! Mark told Pat to try and find out where they could possibly be heading!
[I already did that. It seems that there is a small island a couple hundred miles away from the coast. The tracker has been moving towards this island nonstop and there is a high chance that this is where they are going.]
"Pat, I need to get to that island now. Can you get me there?"
Mark only needed to say this and Pat immediately understood that Mark was asking for a means of transportation. Pat was not sure what was on that island and he hated it when Mark went into an unknown situation, but there was no one who could stop Mark when Arit was involved! Mark would swim to that island if he needed to!
[New Mission Alert!]

…
Mark read through the new mission from the system and he frowned as a new surge of motivation rose from inside him! This was confirmation that Arit was definitely not dead! He still had a chance to save her before the monsters killed her! He was going to save her no matter what!
I've been listening to a lot of old songs recently. Queen have got to be the best band in the world. I haven't heard a single bad song from them.
P.S. My sister hates the songs and she keeps calling me an old man whenever I play it. I'm barely twenty four!
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
