Two people were sitting on the sofa and watching a boring movie and eating popcorn. One was a beautiful woman with blonde hair tied in a bun still looking in her 20s while the other was a tall teen with black silky messy hair and purple eyes, wearing a loose lab coat.
"Mom?"
"Yes?"
"Who recommended this trash in the name of superhit movie?
"Your dad."
"And you believed it?"
"Yes."
"…"
"…"
Rex switch of the tv before either of them destroy it.
"Sigh* I want to punch him hard."
"Same here."
"…"
"…"
"Want a good spar?"
"Neet!"
Both of them changed their attire and moved to the training ground. For the past couple of years, training ground also changed to much larger and broad.
They stood against each other. Bisha shined a long purple sword.
Rex's hand also glowed and formed a big blue sword of almost 2 meters in size fused with his hand. It was even longer than his own size. It was identical to the Big Fat Sword of the original Rex but was light blue in color unlike that of the original Rex.
[Big Battle Sword B: The big battle sword (also known as the B.B.S.) is a massive blue sword that you can transform with the following functions:
1 You can form on either of hand or both of them with short size.
2 You can change the size from 1.5 to 2.1 meters. Any less, you will lose the function of Battle Saw.
3 You can cut through steel from it.
Secondary function: Battle saw
Using a lever on the side of his big battle sword, the top half of the sword will split apart and begin to rotate at a high velocity. This transforms the big battle sword into the battle saw—a giant blue circular saw that can slice through tough objects.]
Rex didn't know why but BBF was still at B Rank. He tried hard to rank up but he knew that he couldn't improve its rank any further.
"Ready"
"Go!"
Both of them leaped in lightning speed as their sword collided with each other.
"You have become strong, son!"
"Thanks, mom!"
Both of them smirked then started to become serious. Bisha threw a horizontal cut which Rex parried by jumping back and block the overhand cut which came right after the first slash. Just like this, Bisha slashed many times, and Rex countering it effectively.
Between swords, they also martial arts to not giving any chance each other for an opening to deliver a final blow. After exchanging blows for more than an hour, both of them decided to call it a draw.
Bisha was not fighting in her full power since she wanted to test Rex's strength not to kill or cripple him.
Rex was tired so Bisha got them energy drinks.
"Mom."
"Yes?"
"On the scale of strength, where do I lie?"
"You can give any hero run for their money in a fight," Bisha said as she looked at the bright sky. Rex likes to stare at the sky all the time so she also developed a habit of staring at the sky after their regular spar.
"Does that mean I only have to learn things aside from combat in U.A. academy?" Rex asked taking a sip and looking at the sky.
"Pretty much. Isn't that what you want in the first place?"
"Hmm… still-"
"Something is missing?" Bisha looked at Rex and smiled. "I know you have been trying hard to achieve something but I think it will come to you eventually when the time is right. So don't sweat and do your best to become number 2 hero."
"Why not number 1?"
"They are single."
"Ugh… Yeah, I would rather give in hero than die single…" '-again.'
Bisha took out an envelope and gave it to Rex. Rex looked at the envelope and smiled.
"Your U.A. Academy recommendation letter. Make sure to pass and don't disgrace me." Bisha said.
"Yeah, I didn't go for torturous training just to fail. I won't give that mouse any chance to point out any mistake."
Rex knew all the information he needed regarding that school. He could hack school servers and get more secret information but he only acquired what needed to know in general. Knowing unnecessary things will make things boring for Rex.
In his previous life, he never went to high school properly. He was a genius and passed the high school in early-stage to focus most of his attention on research and inventions. Now he was given second chance, he was going to enjoy a proper high school life though he knew that thing will be started to change when he got to U.A. Academy. Somehow his gut feeling was telling him that many events will unfold that will change his life.
He was strong but as a former scientist who always used intelligence and strategy to survive without coming in front, he was still a cautious type. He wanted to fight strong 'opponents' but he will never risk his life against any villain that he has no chance of defeating.
"Hmm, never call him 'mouse' in front of others. Pro Heroes Association (PHA) is still in favor of him." Bisha said.
She was now have become Head of the Pro Hero Association. It is a government organization that overseas heroes and issue licenses.
Right after Rex announced his ambition of becoming a hero, he asked Bisha to start a political party and hold a solid grip in Japan Nation Diet seats. From her popularity, she was welcomed warmly by the people of Japan when she started her political career. In just a span of a few years, she was able to become the leader of PHA.
Rex wanted a stronghold in Japanese politics when he will enter politics later. He also shared his hypothesis about some villains in government and he wanted to expose the true nature of the government to the public.
"I know." Rex said then added, "How many moles have you found?"
"More than you think and know."
"Hmm, don't take any action.. for now."
"If I take action then it will be easy for me to clean those scums."
"That you can't do. No, you shouldn't do this."
"Sigh* I still can't bear you that and son devilish minds."
"It is because mom you think what is in front of your eyes. Do you know who always wins the fight between a hero and a villain?" Rex asked raising a brow.
"Hmm, one who is stronger?"
"Wrong. The answer is the one who is making them heroes and villains. It is called government which divides people between the two. You don't have to take any action. You can sit and watch for now while making a good stronghold in the government. All we have to do is to find a chance and make those moles fight and kill each other while we sit back and watch. When the situation gets out of hand, we will move and become the hero." Rex said and Bisha widened her eyes then shook her head.
"Seriously, you and Yato share the same mindset but I know you want well for us. Still, it is painful to see, those scums play with the lives of innocent people…" She gripped his fist.
"Curses, like chicken always come home to roost. A human will always be a human and one day he will die leaving this world forever. They can enjoy as much as they want but they all will die soon. When that will happen people will see them scroll like cockroaches struggling to just stay alive. However, till they are alive, we have to use them." Rex said.
"Hmm, okay enough about that. Go and prepare for the test. Tomorrow is your recommendation test so you have to prepare for it."
"Relax~ You know my strength. I can't fail the exams even if I want to." Rex said stretching his arms.
"There is also a written test," Bishamon said with a deadpan expression.
"….seriously?"
"…"
"Crap!" Saying this, Rex run away into his rooms to study.
Bisha stared at his figure before she shook her head with a smile. Rex may joke around to enlighten the mood and hides his real intention but she knew very well what he is going to do. She looked at the sky and hoped that people around him could share even a tiny bit of weight from his shoulders.
