Mark made his way past the students who were running towards the bunker and finally picked up his phone when it rang again!
[What the hell is going on there!? I can see five different monsters on the CCTV, and one of them is a country-level calamity! They are fighting together!]
"What?"
Mark was extremely surprised by the last thing that Pat just said! What did he mean by the monsters were fighting together.? Ever since the Armageddon class Anima four years ago, there hasn't been a single instance where monsters fought together or followed a leader. They were all mindless creatures that just knew how to destroy!
Mark shook his head as he reached his classroom and quickly prepared to join the fight. He put his phone in his pocket and took out his AirPods to connect them so he could keep talking to Pat. He then took off his shirt, leaving himself in only his inner singlet, and he grabbed a mask from his bag and placed it over his head before using it to cover his lower face. This was how Mark always fought, and he liked the anonymity that came with hiding his identity. Mark jumped through the window and began to race across the city at an immense speed!
Zoom!
Mark was so focused on trying to get to the scene of the fight that he didn't even notice that there was a light ping! ringing in his ear over and over again. This pinging sound was from his system, and it was sending him many messages!
[Does the user wish to activate the system? Yes/No…]
[Does the user wish to activate the system? Yes/No…]
[Does the user wish to activate the system? Yes/No…]
[If no choice is picked, system functions cannot resume. The system will move into standby mode until an option is picked.]
[Standby mode activated]
Mark could already see the giant smoke rising from the docks, and he jumped into the sky from on top of a building and soared through the air as he got closer to the docks. From up here, Mark could see everything that was happening at the docks, and he couldn't believe how crazy it was! There were many superhumans, and they were all trying their best to fight against five monsters with fish heads that were destroying everything in their path! The superhumans there were mainly C and B ranks, and so they had to fight in groups of more than five before they could even stand a chance against the fish-headed monsters!
But that wasn't the craziest fight that was happening. The worst fight happening was between a humanoid-looking anima with an ant head and two superhumans. Mark immediately recognized one of the two superhumans as Lightning Rider whom he saw earlier today, and the other superhuman was Yellow Phantom who fought against the monster yesterday!
Mark had a big choice to make! Should he go and help out the B ranks that were struggling against the fish-headed anima, or should he join the two superhumans that were fighting against the ant-headed anima!? Mark only thought about this for a split second, and he immediately came to a conclusion as he contorted his body and allowed himself to start moving towards the two superhumans that were fighting against the ant-headed monster!
[Don't do anything rash! That's a calamity, Mark! You can't win against something like that! You should try to help the other Superhumans instead!]
Pat's annoyed voice rang through Pat's ear, and Mark just ignored him as he continued making his way towards the fight! What did Pat expect him to do!? He couldn't just leave them there to fight against something like that on their own! Yellow Phantom is only a low-level A rank and Lightening Rider is a B rank! They had no chance of winning and it would be better for three of them to fight it together!
...
Tilda was breathing heavily as she looked at the giant ant-headed anima that was just staring at them with a bored expression in its eyes! It was like the anima was saying that they weren't even worth its time! She was already on her last leg as she could feel her stamina dwindling, and she knew that Lightning Rider was also on his last leg. He was even worse than she was because he had an injury on his shoulder that wouldn't stop bleeding!
They had to get out of this somehow! The three of them were standing on top of the broken half of a building that was leaning precariously to one side! With only the smallest movement, Tilda knew that the entire building would teeter and fall over like a stack of dominos! But what the hell are they going to do in this situation!? They already called for backup, but there hasn't been a single sign of anyone coming to help them! Even the other B ranks were busy trying to take care of the other Disaster Class Anima! They were definitely going to die here!
Woooosshhh!!!
A loud sound of something falling echoed through the air, and Tilda didn't even have time to turn around before something big and heavy slammed into the side of the Ant-headed Anima.
BOOM!!
Tilda felt her eyes widen in shock as she saw the anima get thrown across the building as it was blindsided, and a person landed in front of her and Lightning Rider.
Mark narrowed his eyes at where the Ant-headed Anima was thrown towards, and he prepared himself for a fight. He only managed to get a lucky hit once and he knew that the monster would never allow something like that to happen again! He looked to the side, and he saw that Lightning Rider was bleeding from his shoulder.
"You should get that closed up before you bleed to death. Having an injury in a fight like this is only going to make you a liability."
Mark said this to Lightning Rider, and he watched as Lightning Rider narrowed his eyes in annoyance! Lightning Rider was curious about who the hell Mark was because of how Mark was covering his lower face to prevent them from knowing his identity.
Tilda was far less confused, and she immediately knew who Mark was! She could recognize him from some of the videos that she used to watch on Metube! This was GHOST! He was a vigilante-type superhuman who went around helping people with a mask to prevent them from knowing his identity! Tilda knew that he did all of his vigilante work in this region, but she didn't think that he would come out to help them like this since they were in the open and there were going to be reporters soon. Tilda wanted to ask him what he was doing here, but she knew that it would be a stupid question! It was obvious that he came here to help them, and it would be stupid for her to refuse his help!
"We're going up against a Calamity, so we should try to come up with a plan. I don't think any of us has enough power to face it head-on, so we will try to buy as much time as possible for more A ranks to come. They are coming from another city, so it will take a while even at their top speed. If we can drag the fight away from the city, then that would be an ideal situation. Let's make it go back towards the docks."
So I and my sister are going to start living together soon since she is in the city for school. I don't know how to feel about this since she is a girl and I've never lived alone with a girl before, haha! When I told her about my worries she only said she trusts me.
I'm sure we'll be fine.
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
"We're going up against a Calamity, so we should try to come up with a plan. I don't think any of us has enough power to face it head-on, so we will try to buy as much time as possible for more A ranks to come. They are coming from another city, so it will take a while even at their top speed. If we can drag the fight away from the city, then that would be an ideal situation. Let's make it go back towards the docks."
Tilda said this calmly while glaring in the direction of the ant-headed Anima and Mark just nodded to her as he prepared for the fight. Mark was glad that Tilda wasn't going to be asking any silly questions! At least, he wouldn't have to start explaining pointless things when they are about to fight for their lives!
"I have the most stamina right now, so I should take the front. I'll get its attention, and then one of you can deal a blow from a blind spot while it is distracted with me."
Mark added some of his own thoughts, and Tilda couldn't deny that it was the best course of action right now. Her stamina was almost completely gone, so Mark taking the frontline would help her to get some of it back. And since she was fast, she could rush in and attack the monster before rushing out again to make the monster confused!
Lightning Rider still had a look of distrust on his face as he stared at Mark. He could not tell who Mark was, and due to the fact that his voice was distorted by the mask he was wearing, Lightning Rider couldn't tell how old he was either. Lightning Rider was the sort of person who hated mysteries, and he liked to have all the facts about anyone that he was going to be trusting his back to. If this were a different situation, then Lightning Rider would have definitely refused help from Mark because he didn't trust him, but since Tilda was already onboard, then Lightning Rider had no choice but to silently accept Mark's help.
Rattaatatattaatata!
A loud sound suddenly came from above the three superhumans, and Mark looked up to see that there was a news helicopter hovering right over them! Are these people completely mad? Why would they bring something like that to the scene of a fight? The helicopter was quite high in the sky, but Mark knew that a constraint like that was nothing for them! In the middle of a fight, they could easily reach that helicopter with just a single leap!
Crack! Crack!
Boom!
Screeech!
Mark didn't have any time to start thinking about the stupidity of humans anymore as he was forced to focus back on the ant-headed Anima as it burst its way out from inside the building and released a loud screech that shook the ground under their feet for miles! Everything in the area felt the raw power from the Anima, and Mark prepared himself for the beating that he knew he was about to receive!
Mark has never fought against a Calamity class before! The strongest opponent he has ever had was a Disaster class, and that was nothing compared to this! Mark brought his fists up and dashed forward! He was going to try and catch the monster off guard so that Tilda and Lightning Rider would have a good chance to attack with a surprise attack!
Slam!
But before Mark could even go anywhere, everybody was shocked as the Calamity class moved first at a speed that was three times faster than what it was using when fighting against Tilda and Lightning Rider! The Calamity class completely ignored everybody else in the area and it slammed straight into Mark and dragged him along as the two of them flew through three skyscrapers and went deeper into the city!
"!"
Tilda's eyes were wide in shock, and she didn't even need to look to see that Lightning Rider was also shocked by what just happened! They have never seen an Anima act in this way before! The Anima were seen as mindless creatures whose only goal in life was to destroy as much of the world as possible while killing everyone and anyone that they could lay their hands on! There has never been a case where Anima just ignored everyone else and went straight for one person!
"We have to help him! I don't know what is going on, but there is no way he can survive against that monster on his own! If we don't go, then he'll die!"
Tilda shouted this to Lightning Rider as she snapped out of her surprise, and Lightning Rider nodded his head as he covered his body in lightning, and they both dashed towards the direction where the Calamity class dragged Mark!
Up in the sky, the news crew was also stunned as the helicopter followed after them! The journalist in the helicopter was a beautiful woman with red hair and green eyes. She had full red lips and a moderate bust that showed some cleavage through her shirt! She was holding a microphone and talking rapidly as the camera followed the destruction that the Calamity class was causing on the ground!
"This is something that I've never seen before in my life! It looks like the Calamity class is no longer interested in any of the other superhumans, and it has only decided to focus on one of them! Reports I am getting from my analysts are saying that the superhuman the Calamity is focusing on is the Vigilante Superhuman GHOST! He is a superhuman who has been involved in many Disaster class subjugations, but we have never been able to get a good look at his fighting style before because of how elusive he is! But it seems like we will finally get a good look at it today!"
…
In the underground bunker below Nature Academy, all of the students were huddled together as they tried to calm their beating hearts! They could all hear the tremors and destruction that was happening above ground, and even though the fight was happening far away from them, they could tell that there was an insane amount of power being thrown around up there!
[The superhuman GHOST is trying his best to get the Calamity class off him, but the Calamity class has not given him any room to regroup with the other superhumans! At this rate, it looks like he is going to have to find a way out of the situation himself! The Superhumans Yellow Phantom and Lightning Rider are both chasing after the fighting pair, but it seems that no matter what they do, the Calamity class only continues to focus all of its attention on GHOST!]
There was a large television positioned above the ground where the news was playing, and everyone in the underground bunker stayed very silent as they watched the fight that was happening! Francis was watching the fight with wide eyes as he saw his idol being targeted by the Calamity class. Francis knew that GHOST was strong, but even Francis couldn't be sure that GHOST would make it out of a fight like this! A calamity class attack has never happened in this city before, so no one was sure what the outcome would be!
The only person who didn't look like she was interested in the fight at all was Arit! Arit was the only person on her feet, and she had been frantically looking around for Mark ever since she came into the bunker!
When I tell poeple I have an engineering degree, they never seem to believe me. I nce went for an anime convection where a girl had an issue with her bike and I helped her fix it. She looked shocked that an otaku could even understand what an engine was. It was really annoying.
P.S. I still gave her my number when she asked. Come on, don't look at me like that! I'm not easy! Hate the player, not the game!
