'Today has been a long day ...' Adrian thought as he looked at the front of a store that looked quite ordinary. After manipulating Nick Fury, Adrian used his webs and came swinging from building to building to the place where the abandoned SHIELD base was located.
 
He was being accompanied by the five agents who have Symbiotes in their bodies, Natasha and Jessica also accompanied him.
 
Adrian was surprised for a moment to find Maria Hill in front of the abandoned base. She was waiting with several agents beside her.
 
After Adrian thought about it, he believed it was his mother who ordered Maria Hill to show up here. Of course, she must have used Adrian's new pawn named Nick Fury for Maria Hill to accept her orders.
 
"Is this the location?"
 
"Yes." Maria Hill, who was next to Adrian, replied.
 
Maria was suspicious, she doesn't know what happened, but suddenly Nick Fury and Adrian became best friends ... She finds this sudden friendship very strange...
 
How can two enemies who have sworn to death each other become friends so suddenly?
 
"Hmm, this is just an ordinary store." Jessica Jones commented, she was still wearing Adrian's outfit.
 
"SHIELD has several underground bases around New York, they disguise their bases by building ordinary stores on the surface," Natasha explained. As a former SHIELD agent, she knew very well how they operate.
 
 
Natasha was also wearing a costume similar to Adrian.
 
Adrian looked at the SHIELD agents who were being hosted by the Symbiotes.
 
Adrian looked at the black Symbiote named Riot with a cold smile. From the moment Adrian saw the Symbiotes, Adrian wanted these Symbiotes for himself; after all, he knew0 the benefits of having a Symbiote by his side.
 
Adrian deemed he can give these symbiotes to his family; with that, they would be protected from any danger.
 
Adrian is not afraid that the Symbiotes may harm his family instinctively. He knows that if these Symbiotes become his followers, they will follow any order from him.
 
That was the privilege of an Alpha.
 
'Well, if they don't obey me, I just have to make them obey me.'
 
Adrian took his attention away from Riot and looked at Maria. "Is there anyone else besides Symbiote and Natasha's sister on this base?" He asked, pretending ignorance. He knows very well that this sudden 'friendship' he had with Nick Fury will raise suspicion of Maria. Because of that, he decided to pretend he doesn't know anything.
 
Adrian doesn't want to control Maria Hill like he did with Nick Fury. He wanted Maria Hill to willingly become his subordinate.
 
Adrian regarded Nick Fury as an enemy and a threat. He will go to great lengths to eliminate or use it to his advantage. But so far, Maria Hill is just an agent who follows Nick Fury's orders.
 
A sudden thought crossed his mind. 'Stopping to think, if Nick Fury is under my control, then is Maria Hill my subordinate too?'
 
"No, only V-001 and ex-Red Room agent Yelena Belova are on that basis." Maria Hill denied it. "The V-001 host is also on that base, but we don't know his status."
 
"V-001?" Adrian asked he hadn't heard that classification from Nick Fury.
 
"This is the name we give the first Symbiote to have a host."
 
Adrian used his brain and can soon find out where they got that name from. 'Oh, they used Venom's' V, 'Since he was the first Symbiote after Venom, they rated it' 1 ', so the name V-001.'
 
"Let me guess, is my name rated V-000?" Adrian asked, smiling.
 
Adrian gave his Symbiote a mental command, and soon he was covered in a black suit.
 
"Yes." Maria Hill responded with a stoic expression. "How do you know that?" She asked in a neutral tone of voice.
 
Adrian huffed: "It's pretty obvious, I can say that you used me as a basis for experimenting on these symbiotes. They must have been named in order of host or importance." He looked at Riot and pointed with his finger:
 
"He has the presence of a leader, so his codename must be V-002." Adrian pointed to the yellow Symbiote. "She has a slightly lower presence than V-002, but I can easily see her pride, her code name is V-003."
 
"The rest must be codenamed V-004, V-005, and V-006, right?"
 
The agent groups will be surprised at Adrian's deduction. Maria Hill was surprised too, but that surprise didn't show on her face.
 
Adrian turned and walked towards the store.
 
Natasha, who was smiling through the mask, quickly followed. Jessica looked at Maria Hill with disgust and followed Adrian too.
 
Jessica was disgusted, misunderstood Maria Hill, and Adrian's conversation. She thinks Adrian is a mutant, and he was captured and experimented by this organization. Because of that, these agents have powers similar to Adrian.
 
"What is the plan?" Jessica asked.
 
"The plan is simple," Adrian replied.
 
"Currently, I am stronger than all of you, I will get the attention of the aggressive Symbiote, and I will fight him."
 
Upon noticing that Natasha would deny the plan by saying it was too risky. Adrian added: "The five Symbiotes will help me eliminate the aggressive Symbiote in the meantime. Natasha and Jessica will rescue the survivor."
 
"Okay." Jessica agreed.
 
Adrian looked at Natasha and said in a kind voice. "Go save your sister, she needs you."
 
Natasha nodded with a gentle smile under the mask.
 
Adrian turned and walked to the back of the store, he investigated the place a little. He found a strange opening in the wall, he pushed the wall a little, and a secret passage was opened.
 
The secret passage was an elevator...
 
Adrian looked at the agents and Maria Hill, who were entering the store and spoke. "Maria Hill, I want you to wait here, I don't want to protect you during the battle."
 
Maria Hill narrowed her eyes in annoyance. "Are you calling me worthless?"
 
"Yes," Adrian replied without mercy. "In a fight with beings who can do that."
 
Adrian lightly attacks the wall behind him.
 
* Booom! *
 
"Ordinary humans are just dead weight."
 
Maria Hill calmly looked at the destroyed wall. She can see that Adrian did not try to destroy that wall. He just shook his arm, and that happened. She broke into a cold sweat when she imagined this result on a human body.
 
"Okay, I'll wait here."
 
"Good." Adrian smiled through the mask. "These five agents and I are going to fight the aggressive Symbiote."
 
Adrian turned and was about to enter the elevator. He heard the black Symbiote speaking in a hoarse Symbiote voice.
 
"Wait."

Adrian Weismann is a lazy and normal boy with a weird family, there’s also a chuuni one-eyed bald pirate. Adrian's life seems normal but his mother aunt and that bald pirate aren’t. What is Adrian gonna do when he gets trained by the best spy and gets symbiote as his partner? For that you’ll have to read this to find out.

Seeing Maria stand up, feeling the domineering aura and noticing the Level 19 above her head, Zhao Yao smiled and said, "Finally, he's here."
He asked Doll via the ear microphones, "Doll, how many people are watching?"
In outer space, inside the space station, Doll, who was preparing to leave Earth, sucked at his engine oil while he looked at the screen and asked his cat artificial intelligence, "Headless, how many people are watching?" 
Headless said, "Hmm… about 1.3 billion people are watching. I hacked the top global websites to live stream, but…"
Doll asked curiously, "But what?"
Headless said, "But they're not interested in the contents of the live stream. They were saying strange things…"
Doll asked bewildered, "What's that?"
Headless showed large volume of comments.
"Oh heck! I have just finished my work and you are showing me this?"
"F*ck! I had just reached my critical moment!"
"Thank you administrator. Greetings… What's going on? Why is the previous video gone?"
"Is this a new drama series? Very refreshing idea."
"The protagonist's without a head? Is this Ghost V? Gothic style… I like it.."
"Which company shot this? This Ghost V's special effects are way better than 'The Avengers'."
Doll felt something amiss and immediately asked, "What website did you hack? Is this a mainstream website?"
Headless listed his hacked websites and said, "Beep… beep… yes, these are the global top 100 websites according to the download volume, visit duration, and data transaction volume."
Puff…
Doll sprayed a mouthful of engine oil on the screen and said, "What are the humans thinking about all day?" He ordered, "Don't bother about the data, just follow the visitor's volume from highest to lowest. Hack as much as possible. Let everyone see the live stream!"
"Beep, beep… I understand handsome Doll. I'll do as ordered."
Doll said softly, "Yes, don't let Zhao Yao know that the live streams were on those websites…"
Zhao Yao's impatient voice was heard in Doll's ears. "Hey, I asked you. How many people are watching?" 
Doll replied immediately, "One billion… slightly more than a billion. The reception's good and they say you're handsome."
"Huh?" Zhao Yao sounded happy. "I tried to hide but it seems my charms are irresistible. This is irritating."
Maria asked curiously, "Who are you? The Headless Horseman? Zhao Yao? Or another person? Why are you in control of the power of awareness? Why is the supercat behind you in control of power of awareness?"
Giggle said in a tempting tone, "If you tell me, I'll let you live. You can feel the difference between our power and the difference between your cat and my power."
Zhao Yao laughed sinisterly and said, "Silly cat, why don't you be my pet? Let me sterilize you before cutting your fur. You shall be a good pet."
"You're tired of living! Giggle was enraged because he had been ostracized for having little and short fur. After he was admitted into the Short Fur tribe, he became better. He hated when people mentioned cutting fur.
With Giggle's rage, his distortion of awareness came into full swing. The power of awareness swept over Zhao Yao like a tsunami. The surrounding apostles covered their ears and screamed as they could not protect themselves against Giggle's attack. 
Zhao Yao felt a headache as though a huge drill was drilling into his mind.
Zhao Yao pressed on the invisible Roly Poly who was sitting on his shoulders and activated Time Freeze. The entire world came to a stand still.
"Giggle's strong." Zhao Yao stood in the frozen world and thought, "I have switched to Time Freeze. The Cat Prince Costume had Diana's Level 16 superpower but it was ineffective. Without Time Freeze, I'll be controlled within one to two seconds."
Zhao Yao looked at the enraged Maria and flashed as he shot out like lightning.
Level 10 Matcha had 18 seconds of Time Freeze. Under the effect of Boiling Point, Zhao Yao was able to move at 10 times the normal speed so he had 180 seconds of Time Freeze. 
With his superior constitution, he ran tens of kilometers away from the battlefield during the Time Freeze.
…
In the Extradimensional Belly, Match felt time freezing and resuming and the superpower entering the cooling down period. He looked at Lucifer who was standing by the side.
"Wa-da!"
Pom! He punched Lucifer on the face and started beating Lucifer's head. Lucifer lay on the ground convulsing while blood dripped from his head.
"Wa-da, wa-da, wa-da!"
Matcha folded his arms and said, "I'm telling you, we the Scottish Folds are not sick cats."
…
In the material realm, Zhao Yao felt a sharp pain in his head immediately after he exited from Time Freeze.
Giggle's sneering filled his mind. "Teleportation? Is it useful? This limited dimension cannot be compared to the unlimited awareness. You can't escape."
Zhao Yao was shocked and realized that Giggle had abandoned Maria's body. Instead, he possessed Zhao Yao's body in a bid to control him.
Zhao Yao was prepared for this. Giggle only managed 0.1 seconds of control before Zhao Yao stabbed his heart with Rice Cake's Vibrating Sword.
"What?" Giggle was astonished and he exited the dying Zhao Yao and flashed his awareness to a nearby human.
Zhao Yao activated Time Distortion. After revival, he entered Time Freeze and bolted off like lightning.
When time resumed, he had already covered a distance of tens of kilometers. He did not feel any headache this time.
"Death's able to break Giggle's control." Zhao Yao pondered over his experience. Giggle was not able to pursue him over a distance of ten kilometers like the first time. This proved that Giggle was unable to cover ten kilometers to pursue his target.
When Zhao Yao confronted Giggle the second time, Doll had prepared plasma bombs at the location. The bombs were ignited and high temperature plasma turned a radius of five meters into an inferno. The earth melted and became magma. 


"Let go of that kitty cat!"

A shooting star whizzed through the sky, causing countless super powers to appear on Earth.

However, the main characters that awaken during this phenomenon aren't humans, but cats...

During this event, this same thought appeared in the minds of countless cats: "Am I a god?"

Zhao Yao, an ordinary human, is the only person that can control these super cats.

Zhao Yao: "Am I a god?"

………………

TL's Intro：

Zhao Yao, the protagonist of the story, is the most ordinary man you could possibly imagine. Since graduating from college, he had been engulfed by his bureaucratic workplace and its toxic environment. To make things worse, he has neither a car, money nor a girlfriend. The only silver lining was his fat and lazy cat, Matcha, which provided a semblance of company and friendship.

However, things were about to change drastically for Zhao Yao and Matcha. One shooting star will transform their lives into anything but ordinary.

At this very moment, a pair of friends also entered the salon for a facial session. They seemed to have a strong camaraderie and were in the midst of an enthusiastic conversation. The topic of their conversation went from their respective boyfriends to each of their favorite male celebrities.
Woman A said, "My boyfriend feels like an eyesore to me now. He's worlds apart from my favorite Jing Yang."
Fang Erlan said in her head, "That's because you haven't seen his true colors yet."
Woman B then said, "I prefer mature men like Yan Ge. He's so dashing and masculine."
Woman A then criticized, "I read on the news that Jing Yang was rumored to be in a relationship with Fang Erlan. That Fang Erlan was such a hypocrite, she even clarified on her Weibo page that she has nothing to do with Jing Yang at all. She made it seem as if Jing Yang was desperate to be affiliated with her. She's just a newbie who popped up out of nowhere, yet she still has the cheek to use my Jing Yang for a publicity stunt. She even got to star alongside Yan Ge. Could it be that she has a wealthy person to back her up and pull connections?"
"Isn't she the artiste whom An Xiaoning had pushed to fame? Well, I've been following all the updates about their television series because I've been paying attention to Yan Ge. An Xiaoning invested in that television series. It's not surprising that she would make Fang Erlan the female lead, is it?" 
"Are An Xiaoning's brains fried? There are so many famous actresses who possess great acting skills, why must she insist on supporting a newbie instead?" 
"Who knows?" Woman B sighed and continued, "It must be hard on my Yan Ge to have to film some kissing scenes with her. That woman really got lucky. Their filming location happens to be nearby, right? Shall we go observe the filming together?" 
"I want to go shopping instead. I don't want to watch them film. Jing Yang is not there anyway…"
"…" 
Fang Erlan pursed her lips in disgruntlement. I was the one who had to make a sacrifice, alright? 
When the serum mask on her face dried up, she sat up straight and removed the dried pieces from her face. She then looked at the two women beside her and sneered while smiling, "Gorgeous ladies, enjoy your facial session."
The two women, who were initially in a great mood, immediately looked at each other in shock and dismay as their eyes widened in astonishment. They were at a complete loss for words.
Was there anything more awkward than being caught red-handed while badmouthing someone?
—
He Yi arrived at Wei Ni Estate as agreed upon earlier.
It was ten o'clock in the morning.
Jin Qingyan had already left for the office. Thus, An Xiaoning was the one who welcomed him into the house. 
Recalling the events at the gathering the night before, she smiled and asked, "Did Ms. Wen give you a call after you left last night?"
He Yi smiled and said, "I understand her very well. She won't call me. It doesn't matter anyway. I've never bothered wasting time on people I'm not interested in. Ms. An, when did you go to V Nation?"
"A while back. I even saw humans who were starkly different from us," said An Xiaoning, crossing one leg over the other and placing both hands on her knee.
"You mean the blood-sucking tribes, right?" 
"Correct."
"Pardon me for my bluntness, but those people do not seem any different from us on the surface, and I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference if I hadn't seen them feeding on blood with my very own eyes. It was a tough feat for you to have made it back alive despite having witnessed them in the grotesque act. I almost died in their hands, and I've had several close shaves with death. It still terrifies me whenever I think about it now."
"Could you tell me how you managed to escape? I did find out more in detail from an insider after having an encounter with them," she asked with a grin. 
"The first time I visited V Nation was several years ago. I decided to go there, simply because I felt like I was brave and well equipped enough, especially since I am trained in combat defense. I thought that nothing too dangerous would happen if I travel there alone since I'm a man. That was the first time I had an encounter with them too. As soon as I realized how different they were, I decided to abort my plan to go against them and fled instead. Thankfully, my car was parked at a short distance away and I managed to escape successfully. Later on, I found out by accident that they fed on blood. Hence, I investigated that in secret for a long time. Even until today, I still find them to be intimidating and relentless beings. It would also take a great ton of effort to kill them."
"Well… do you know who their chieftain is?" An Xiaoning asked.
Shaking his head, He Yi answered, "I don't. He seems to be a very mysterious person. This has become a burning question in my mind, though I have no plans to resolve it. Think about it, those people are already formidable. Just how menacing and brilliant would their chieftain have to be in order to lead them? I still have that bit of self-awareness that I would follow, unless I'm tired of living." 
"Will you still continue investigating this?" 
"That depends on the situation. I only understood a cold, hard truth after roaming around the world," he explained truthfully. 
"What?" 
"The citizens in our nation aren't happy enough, and this happiness shouldn't be derived from external factors. In fact, it's just the way they truly feel."
"Why do you say so?" An Xiaoning asked.
"When the citizens and public follow the lead of a single political leader, a conflict is only going to arise within society when they're upset about a civil servant, a teacher, or a doctor. Who stands to gain when the citizens lose faith in those three professions that I've mentioned? It'll be those who are looking to wreak havoc in our nation and jeopardize our peace. Some citizens see the good in other nations because they haven't lived there for a long time before. They haven't seen or experienced the twisted sides of other nations. In this era where war no longer exists, we get to eat and live well with a roof over our heads. We are granted peace and security, devoid of the fear of war ruining everything that we have. Women no longer face such a strong gender discrimination and prejudice, such that they are denied basic human rights. Aren't those facts worth rejoicing and feeling contented about?"
An Xiaoning agreed, "Life has become much better for everyone, but at the same time, humans also began yearning for more and raising their expectations gradually. But what keeps you going despite having witnessed and experienced the dark side of what every nation has to offer?" 
His eyes lit up and he answered, "It's purely because of my passion for discovery and my adventurous nature. I have a penchant for taking risks. I can only continue being motivated and enthusiastic about globetrotting because that's where my passion lies." 
"You probably start traveling after resting at home for a short while, don't you?"
"Yes." 
"Where are you headed to next?"
"Haven't thought about it yet." 
After chatting with him for a while, An Xiaoning realized that she did not manage to fish out any useful information from him. She was not sure if he really did not know much or if he was simply unwilling to divulge. 
She gravitated toward the latter, however. After all, it was only their second time meeting each other and it was natural for him not to trust her just yet.
She invited him to stay for lunch, but he politely declined, claiming that he had agreed to go home for lunch with his parents.
Hence, she decided not to force him against his wishes.
When Jin Qingyan returned home in the afternoon, he asked her about the details of the conversation she had with He Yi. Maintaining her yoga pose, she kept her eyes fixed upward and answered, "We just had a casual chat and I didn't manage to find out anything from him. Perhaps he's just hiding something from me. Who knows?"
"Seems like you've really observed him thoroughly." Jin Qingyan handed her a stack of paper and said, "Here are some details about him that I had gotten from investigating on him."


After discovering about her wealthy husband's affair, she humiliates the adulterous pair on the streets and divorces him the very next morning. Just as everyone anticipates her downfall, she goes on to marry the most brilliant bachelor in the nation whom her unfaithful former husband cannot hold a candle to!

"Aren't your mother's legs always hurting? It hasn't gotten any better despite seeking help from various doctors."
"How did you know that?"
"Not only do I know why her legs hurt, I can also treat her condition."
"As long as you can treat my mother, I'll give you anything you want."
"I want money."

After An Xiaoning uses her psychic powers to break the curse of a poltergeist, she earns herself a fortune as well as a perfect man of her dreams.  

Don't be daunted by her psychic powers, for this book isn't terrifying at all!

Marcel dropped Liam off at school the next morning. He was feeling very reluctant to part with him, to the point where his road manager went to drop off Liam's things at the orphanage while Marcel was wasting time saying goodbye to Liam as if it would be the last time the two would ever see each other.
"Big brother, you should go now," Liam said as he too got tired. Marcel was just thinking of how George is going to bully the boy and just that thought made it difficult for him to let him go in peace.
"If anything happens, you have to call me right away, if you can't reach me-"
"I'll call uncle Damien, now go, I will be late for class," Liam complained. When he finally had the chance of moving away from Marcel, he did not make the mistake of lingering around and instead left immediately. He waved back at Marcel as he ran to class.
"Okay, now that we've dropped him off, you have to go to the hospital," Julia said from behind him and he groaned helplessly. Julia did not seem like the kind of person that could be easily talked out of plans, it was especially clear when he received a call the previous afternoon not to eat because of the medical check-up he was going to be doing that day.
Marcel looks back for the last time before getting in the van and driving off to the hospital.
"Do you have any health issues?" Julia asked as she was aware of everything that happened the previous day.
"I can assure you that I don't," Marcel said with his eyes closed. He had had a hard time sleeping the previous night because of how he was stressing himself on how he was supposed to leave Liam alone at the orphanage.
"You're lucky the audition is later today, if Damien didn't insist on this check-up I would have postponed it to a later date so you can prepare yourself for the audition." Julia said as she fiddled with her phone.
"I just have to do the walk right?" Marcel asked curiously.
"They'll probably ask you a few questions on if you've had previous jobs and your goals and things like that, you know it's for tv right?" Julia asked to confirm that Marcel was aware of what he was getting himself in to.
"Yeah, I know that, if I do make the cut, will I have to move to another residence? Will filming be every day?" Marcel asked as he sat up. He lost all the motivation to take a nap that he had before.
"They'll let us know how your schedule is going to be once you make the cut, so make sure you do," Julia answered. They had revived the current program from its predecessors that had failed miserably in the past, so there was no definite guideline on what to expect of it.
"We're here," Mark said after stopping in front of the hospital. 
"Let's go," Julia said as she got out of the van and Marcel followed behind her. After confirming the appointment, Julia sent Marie to accompany Marcel as she left with Mark to prepare for his audition. 
Marcel went through a series of blood tests, scans, x-rays and some machinery that he did not even recognize and what he thought would be a basic health check ended up being too thorough.
"Who is paying for this?" Marcel asked Marie who had been escorting him from one lab to the other.
"Of course, it's you, it'll be deducted from your earnings in the future," Marie said with a sweet smile. Marcel could only groan helplessly. He thought that after being ordered to get the health check-up the company would pay for it but it seemed he had to pay for the time the CEO wasted to come to check on him.
"Ah~ I didn't even ask for this," Marcel said but that was the extent of his complaints, he didn't say anything else about the whole situation, it was his own health anyway, so it would be a bit weird to complain.
After all tests were complete, he met with the physician who gave him a clean bill of health and just ask that he have a more balanced diet as his gut health was questionable.
"I'll go change," Marcel told Marie, who had called Mark to check on their whereabouts. After receiving a nod of acknowledgement, he went to change back into his clothes.
"Are we ready?" Marcel asked after coming out of the changing room.
"Mmmh, they are waiting for us downstairs," Marie said and fell in step with him.
"Is it just me or have people been staring at you a lot today?" Marie asked after she noticed a bunch of girls pointing in his direction.
"Is that so?" Marcel asked as he looked around and also noticed the girls that were looking at him. He smiled in their direction and waved and chuckled in amusement when one of them squealed in excitement.
"Is it fun? Being so good-looking?" Marie asked curiously.
"It actually is," Marcel answered honestly as they continued to walk out of the hospital. Marie was not actually expecting him to answer her question, but when she heard his answer, she could not refute it all.
The door to the van opened the moment he stepped outside, and he got in the van quickly. 
"Let's go," Julia said to Mark, and they drove off.
"How were the results?" Julia asked.
"Clean bill of health," Maria answered. Julia turned to look at Marcel, who had reclined his chair and put on a pair of sunglasses. His entire demeanour screamed that he was resting and did not want to be disturbed.
"Really? Nothing at all?" Julia asked Maria to confirm.
"Yeah, he was just told to have more balanced meals to improve his gut health," Marie answered saying everything she heard from the doctor.
Julia looked at Marcel in confusion as he remembered how Damien described the whole situation. He said that he had a headache that was severe to knock him out and leave him practically paralysed afterwards. Julia frowned but didn't bother him and let him rest. Whatever it was, in case it recurred during the audition, she did not want to be blamed for not letting him rest.

Aragon was a typical Arbiter. All the good and bad attributes of the Arbiters were reflected in him. In fact, there were also some internal conflicts within Arbiter. As far as the current international composite strength was concerned, Arbiter could not compete with Aslan. Even with strong military force, and violence should not be a means whenever there were disputes, as deterrence was insufficient for expansion. Some people in Arbiter were still insistent in their original strategy, believing that staying on the original path was the best option. The Academics were represented by the Warrior Soul College. Their students would not go for overseas studies, and they would not accept exchange students, staying true to Arbiter's characteristics. For them, it was the path of integration. The Elite Academy X and Aslan overseas students believed that Arbiter needed to learn from other countries, especially to change the rigid international image.
Deterrence was not a thing. However, in this day and age, it would hinder development. In contrast, Aslan would display its power and force on the one hand, and on the other, represent democracy, earning both fame and fortune. In competing with Aslan, the Iron and Steel College of the strong and mighty Arbiter was on par in terms of military strength and armaments. But what was the basis of the competition for armaments?
Money!
Naturally, there was no need for students to be concerned with the current situation, but the policies would be reflected in the students. Presently, the Iron and Steel College was somewhat of a failure. The Van brothers were the representatives of the younger generation of the reformists. However, they were not able to represent the good qualities, having suffered several losses in major international tournaments. How could there be any international influence to begin with?
Many a time, even with good beliefs, failure to achieve something meant it was still a failure.
The source of Aragon's anger was the decline of his opponent. Mars was once his target, a target that he had to defeat. But now this target was not even worthy of his effort. There were no means for him to vent his anger, and, most importantly, Aragon could not tolerate the failure of Arbiter.
Many were here to witness Arbiter making a laughing stock of themselves. However, as long as he was around, he would never allow it to happen.
Not only was he going to win the title, he was going to marry the princess of Aslan, humbling Aslan forever.
As a mighty empire, any talk of glory would be naught if they could not even protect their own princess.
This was the best chance to strike a blow to Aslan. If Kashawen were to go back on her word, then Arbiter would not take it lying down. Of course, this would not result in war, but Kashawen's international reputation would be dealt a huge blow. Kashawen had also heavily invested in order to secure a seat in the Parliament. The obvious target was the General Speaker, Ryan. This was an opportunity for Arbiter!
Aragon chose the Overlord mech, a very distinctive model of Arbiter's mecha. Aslan loved to boast about their skills, but when confronted with a true warrior, they were nothing but weaklings.
Di Maria had obviously done an in-depth analysis of his opponent, but there was still very little information about Aragon. Even after going through the trouble of obtaining the materials on the battle tactics from the Aries Institute, it was totally useless. Aragon was very strong in his physical combat. However, the videos seemed to exaggerate this as he was able to eliminate his opponent with ease. There were absolutely no points of reference from the videos because of the vast difference in skill level between the opponents. Aragon could well be a power-type fighter.
Di Maria was well aware of the Overlord, and would not go easy on his opponent. As a member of the Aslan team, his obvious choice of mech was the runic mech series – the Aslan Holy Light Swordsman, that was officially launched in this competition!
The Runic Holy Light series was the name for the runic mecha. Showcasing the various locations, the new series of Rune Energy Shield rendered the original Mech Energy Shield extremely bulky. At the same time, it also increased the usability of the defence energy. The main objective of this series was to target the special forces of the different nations. In order to own these mecha, they would have to be purchased from Aslan, and they were available for pre-ordering. After this SIG, Aslan would be making huge profits from the sales again.
Technology leaked?
Obviously, this was not a concern. The core technology was exclusive to Aslan and Atlantis. To enhance the opponents' core combat effectiveness?
This was even less of a concern. The maintenance and repairs were still reliant on Aslan. The Aslan Empire would love for the entire world to use their mecha. Only the heavens knew if there was a backdoor to their technology.
However, for the allies of Aslan, this was even less of a concern for them.
Entered the Holy Light Swordsman, a brand new model, with excellent runic lines. This was a new series of runic mech that combined Atlantean technology with human civilization, capable of mass production. This was still a far cry from the mecha from Elite Academy X. The runic mech from the Elite Academy X had reached a super fighter status, a class on its own. Without a doubt, Aslan had also produced something similar, but they would not mass produce them for sale.
Di Maria's confidence returned upon entering the interior of the mech. The superior feel of the drive, the real-time speed reaction was also faster, and these were things that could not be matched by the conventional mecha. Although runes were also adopted for this series of mech, the enhancements made included the usability of energy and the improvement to the lines of the mech, making it more appealing. Never underestimate the appeal factor for a mech because it also had a mental effect on the pilots.
The Holy Light Swordsman and the Overlord entered. The Overlord had been in service for several decades. Overall, the Overlord had remained pretty much the same, although several components and the operating system had been upgraded. Compared to the new series of Holy Light Swordsman, the Overlord did indeed appear old-school, and Aslan set the standard for mainstream aesthetics internationally.
There were also many murmurs about this new series of mech among the generals. Sword Shield Rose had already used them. However, the opponents were weak and were thus unable to tell the difference. The differentiating factor between a superior or inferior mech was the tolerance level in high-intensity confrontations. Obviously, Aragon was capable of this.
The Overlord versus the Holy Light Swordsman. 
When the battle began, there was no imposing confrontation. Aragon steered his Overlord directly at Di Maria. Di Maria was a little taken aback. Who the hell did this guy think he was?
Coagulating his mental strength, Di Maria took nothing for granted; he could not afford to. It would not be too late to taunt Aragon after he had gotten rid of him. In fact, that would be even better.
An abundance of energy immediately overflowed as the Rune Sword was drawn. He might seem calm, but Di Maria had learned much from the last two battles.
As the Overlord slowly approached, devoid of all mental fluctuations, Di Maria's mental strength was coagulating.
This was - coagulation!
The energy coagulated to its tipping point. Di Maria's talent was unquestionable. This was his signature killer move. Once his mental strength had accumulated, it would be unstoppable. This was unstoppable for everyone, even the Earth-rank warriors. But for Di Maria, this was plausible.
This was because time was his ability!
The Overlord was within the range of attack. Di Maria's eyes burned in fiery glints. All the humiliation would end today.
Slaughter!!
The Overlord froze. This was Di Maria's Time Quagmire!
Everyone was in shock! This was an instant ability that had reached mid-C strength level. It was the first time that anyone had use this ability instantaneously.
Di Maria had definitely surprised everyone. No one had ever had such control, not even the Earth-rank warriors.
Lin Feng and the others were not overly surprised. Time warp was only possible if that person had thorough knowledge of this high-level ability. Even though he had not yet attained Earth-rank, Di Maria was getting close; it was impossible not to make any improvement.
Time Quagmire was a tricky ability, but it was not impossible to crack. A person had to be psychologically prepared to crack the time quagmire. Was Aragon prepared?
Could he do it instantly?
Apparently not. This, Lin Feng was sure of. However, Di Maria was able to do it, but it was his time suppression that was masking the reaction of energy strength. It needed preparation time nonetheless.
Almost at the same moment the Overlord was trapped in the quagmire of time, Di Maria had already taken flight. The Rune Sword radiated brightly. Under the influence of the runes, the energy displayed a spiral vigour which was a level higher than that of the conventional laser swords, and did not require much effort from the pilot. Once there was spiritual blast, the runes would be activated naturally. It was a small trick that could create maximum casualties.
Boom…
Why did he not resist?
The Time Quagmire was of no use at all?
How was this possible?
Wang Zheng's pupils turned into a subtle gold. This was interesting. Forming a "circle" around the surface of the Overlord and isolating the mech from the outside world. The power of this Ability X came from the communications between the spiritual power and the universe. However, Aragon had reversed it. He had used the mental strength to form a circular isolator. This meant that any Ability X that came within range of the Overlord would be cut off, unless the opponent's mental strength was stronger than Aragon's.
This was a killer move when targeted at any kind of controlling Ability X. However, this was not an Ability X. It was a method of mental strength control.
This alone led Wang Zheng to suspect that Aragon probably possessed the Earth-rank 3 comprehension capability. Earth-rank 1 was the application of details. Earth-rank 2 was the derivation of powerful killer attacks. Earth-rank 3 was akin to returning to the origins, requiring control and understanding of the mental strength.
In other words, Aragon could completely defeat his opponents based on pure basic understanding!


He received a genetic score of 28... completely disqualifying him from applying to military college!
He helped deliver a friend's love letter... and fell into a lake becoming infamous for dying for love!
His very first gift... warped him into a brutal training simulation!
However he perserved through all these trials! Our Dear Student Wang Zheng has finally started his lucky(?) university life!
This is the song of a blood boiling and exciting storm! The most ferocious and heated mecha adventure around is finally here!
TL Note: This is a novel about doing the impossible, seeing the invisible. Follow along for a ride across the universe!
TL;DR: Not Shakespeare, not complex, but fun and easy to read. Come support! 
As the translator, I've enjoyed translating this novel and I hope to bring the essence of what the author has tried to portray into the chapters you will read.
To sum it up in 3 words: Mechs! Explosions! Science!
To be perfectly honest, this novel is about your typically overpowered protagonist who does get looked down from time to time but always overcomes the odds with his own special power. He's abit more mature having grown up on his own and just a littttttttle bit dense.
Although it always ends up with him winning, it always happens in an interesting (subjective) and fun way that makes me enjoy reading this.
The novel has elements of lighthearted comedy from time to time and I do chuckle at how direct the humor is.
It's not as smart as say WMW nor does it weave an intricate story much like Ergen's novels. More importantly, its fun and it doesn't try to hide it.


Out of the other three villas, Li Du landed one more. Logan and an estate buyer took down the other two. The house-pickers had poor loot that day.
They blamed it on Li Du and felt that Li Du was there to hinder them. It was he who had brought the treasure hunters there and caused them to win nothing.
In such a scenario, they naturally harped on the fact that Li Du had spent two million to buy a haunted house, just to vent their anger. They talked about it non-stop, with a smattering of critique.
Li Du nodded at Lu Guan and Lu Guan understood his intentions. He went off to check out the state of affairs as the house.
The real estate agent, Snyder, was already waiting. He took over the three villas Li Du had won and prepared to go through the formalities. He said, "Boss, you can go back first, I will sort it out for you as soon as possible."
Li Du stopped him and said, "No hurry. Regarding the villa on the hillside of Belair Pilates. This, one, do you know anything about it?"
Snyder has been involved in real estate transactions in Los Angeles for many years, and his source of information was much superior to Li Du's, as Li Du was a newcomer.
As he expected, Snyder indeed had information regarding that villa.
Seeing the photo of the house, Snyder's nostrils flared up slightly. He said, "You bought this house? How much did you pay?"
"What happened to this house?" Li Du persisted in asking.
Snyder threw his hands out and said, "This house is quite famous in Bellaire. It's known as the Haunted House or the Murderous Mansion."
"This house had been built around fifty years ago. In the first forty-odd years of its existence, everything was fine. However, around five years ago, something happened. At that time, the owner had been a lonely man. His wife and children had passed on due to an accident."
"The old man had lived a quiet, sad life. However, one day, he was suddenly very happy. His surrounding neighbors asked him what happened and he said that his wife and children had returned. He said that they were now living together again."
"From then on, the old man often went to purchase daily necessities, as though it was an entire family using those things, and not just himself. At that time, everyone thought that he was hallucinating. After all, he was a lonely man who lost his kin. As you know, such situations are understandable."
Li Du nodded, signaling for him to continue talking.
"Around two weeks later, someone heard a gunshot in the house. The gunshot had rung out just as the sun rose. Then someone called the police. When the police entered the mansion, they found that the old man had shot himself."
Snyder pointed to his chin and said, "The muzzle of the rifle was here. The bullet entered from here and blew up his skull."
"That incident was classified as a suicide. There were many strange things in the storeroom of his house. There were photos of his deceased wife and children, their belongings and other items. The police felt that the old man had mental problems and killed himself in his hallucination."
Li Du said, "They came to that conclusion simply because of those things? Isn't that over-simplifying it?"
Snyder said, "Listen to me, boss. It was not that simple. According to the information I got from an internal source, the police even found some items related to witchcraft. There was a bloodied small coffin, some ashes from animals, the preserved carcass of black cats and crows, among others. They also found a sinister book that recorded the spells of resurrecting the dead…"
"That has happened the year before. Then the house was sold off at a low price. A couple bought the house and moved in there with four children."
"Not too long ago, their four children started to say that they would see strange people loitering in the house at night. One of the children described the person he saw and the description matched the old man who committed suicide!"
"Those children had never seen the old man, nor did their parents. Logically, the children would have no way of knowing how the poor old wretch had looked unless they had really seen something."
"The situation worsened. On the one-year anniversary of moving in, the couple was awakened. They realized that their children were not in their beds. In the end, they found their children loitering on the rooftop…"
Saying that, Snyder gulped and said, "Boss, what I'm going to tell you next is not exaggerated at all. It's all facts."
Li Du said, "I will not doubt you, go on."
Snyder said, "According to what the couple said, the four children had been loitering on the rooftop with their eyes closed, as though they were sleepwalking. However, a strange smile hung on their lips."
"Then, just after they appeared, the children looked as though they had been led by invisible people who were holding their hands and pulling them off the roof!"
"They just watched them jump off?" Li Du asked, shocked. "The parents, the two of them, were they sleepwalking as well?"
Snyder shook his head. "No, of course not, they were very awake. However, they felt as though they were controlled by some invisible force. They were conscious as they got to the roof, but they were unable to move. It was like a nightmare!"
"Fortunately, after the two children jumped off, there was suddenly thunder. The sound of the thunder shocked the husband so much that he was able to throw off the strange force that was restricting him. He dashed crazily forward and held onto the remaining two children. That saved their lives."
Li Du stopped for a moment before he asked, "The first two children who jumped off, they passed away?"
Snyder said with a dark expression, "That's right. Those two poor children died."
"Later, the police interrogated the other two children but did not get any information. The two children who fortunately stayed alive seemed to have lost their memory. They could not remember what happened that night. A doctor's examination found that there were traces of atypical activity in their brains. It was like they were drugged. However, the medical examination did not find any kind of drug in their body."
"The couple was unable to bear with it and decided to sell the house and move away. From then on, the haunted house gained its fame, which caused its value to depreciate."
"Finally, a rancher in Montana bought the building at a low price. He typically did not live there, and he treated the house as a place to stay on his winter vacation. In his hands, everything seemed to become normal. However, in the first half of this year, another accident took place, and the rancher died as well."
"Three consecutive homeowners, three consecutive accidental deaths… this made the haunted house more and more famous. When the rancher passed away, the incident caused a lot of talking in the local area. Many people demanded that the house be demolished. Perhaps you weren't here at that time and did not know about it."
Li Du asked, "Then, how did the house end up here after that?"
Snyder said, "The house was bought by the rancher on a loan. After his death, the house was passed on to his son, but the son did not have enough money to pay the inheritance tax and gave up some of the inheritance, including the haunted house."
Having heard that explanation, Li Du frowned. This house was really quite sinister. No wonder the starting bid had been so low. He had not thought much about it then. He did not expect this to be the reason.
Based on the stories, he had really gotten a wretched house. However, Li Du did not believe in ghosts or haunted houses. Instead, he believed that there was someone behind all of it. Hence, he decided to move in and discover himself what exactly happened.

Tống Á từng xem qua MV của cô Shakira kia, mới cách đây không lâu cô ta đã cho ra một album tiếng Latin được chế tác thô sơ, cô gái này vừa đen vừa thấp, viền mắt được vẽ như người Ai Cập, lại còn để kiểu tóc quê một cục nữa.
"Lần sau có cơ hội nhất định phải nghĩ đến cô ấy đầu tiên đó nhé." Roberto Clayville có chút không vui, trước đây không lâu ông ta đã giúp Tống Á khiến Sony Columbia Records ký hợp đồng với NAS.
"Nhất định, yên tâm đi Roberto."
Tống Á chỉ có thể lừa ông ta trước đã.
Nhà sản xuất lần này chơi lớn, ông ta không những trả cát-xê cho những người không phải là gốc Phi trong vũ đoàn, mà còn bảo Sharkman phụ trách biên đạo, chỉ đạo cho vũ công. Đương nhiên sẽ phải trích chi phí sản xuất MV ra để trả thù lao, sự "giúp đỡ" này đúng là không nhỏ mà.
Điều này khiến Tống Á có chút không vui, mặc dù đều là tiền của công ty.
Nếu còn có lần sau, hắn sẽ không định hợp tác với nhà sản xuất này nữa, đáng tiếc trước đây hai người hợp tác rất ăn ý.
"Every time that you get undressed, I hear symphonies in my head..."
Cảnh đầu tiên, loa phát nhạc của bài "Trumpets". Tống Á mặc áo T-shirt không tay nằm nửa người trên giường một cách thoải mái, vừa mấp máy miệng cho đúng khẩu hình, vừa nhìn Fergie trước mặt với ánh mắt hưởng thụ. 
Hôm nay Fergie trang điểm theo phong cách trưởng thành, mặc một chiếc váy ngắn ba lỗ, chuyển động uốn éo, đi giày cao gót bước từng bước đến gần giường.
"Bụp..." Fergie bò lên giường, nằm xuống theo tiết tấu của âm nhạc, cô vừa đưa tay về phía máy quay thì bỗng nhiên bật cười tại chỗ, "Da gà của tôi nổi hết lên rồi."
"Cắt!" Zach Snyder ngồi sau monitor lớn tiếng hô dừng, "Chuyện gì vậy? Fergie? Qua đây!"
Fergie lè lưỡi với Tống Á, ngoan ngoãn đi tới trước mặt Zach Snyder nghe chỉ bảo.
"Cô là diễn viễn lâu năm rồi đó!"
Zach Snyder rất không nể mặt, "Một cảnh đơn giản mà cười những mấy lần rồi!?"
"Trước đây tôi diễn chương trình thiếu nhi mà." Ferhgie không phục.
"Cô..." Zach Snyder bị đốp lại không có lời nào chống đỡ, "APLUS, chúng ta cần nói chuyện."
Anh ta kéo Tống Á đến bên cạnh, "Cô gái da đen lần trước đâu rồi? Halle Berry, cô ấy thích hợp với vai này hơn là Fergie, kỹ năng diễn xuất cũng giỏi hơn."
"Ông anh của tôi ơi, chẳng phải chí hướng của anh là ở Hollywood sao?"
Tống Á không ngờ anh ta vẫn mãi không quên Halle Berry, "Người ta sớm đã đến Hollywood làm nên tên tuổi rồi, gần đây trong 'Jungle Fever' cũng có cô ấy đấy, trong bộ phim cuối năm 'The Last Boy Scout' cũng có cô ấy, tuy đều là vai phụ nhưng có vị trí như vậy rồi thì ai thèm quay về đóng MV kinh phí thấp chứ."
"Ơ..."
Zach Snyder lại nghẹn lời lần nữa, "Tiếp tục như vậy không được đâu, quyền uy đạo diễn của tôi chẳng còn gì nữa cả, nhân viên trong đoàn đều nghe theo cậu, vũ công đều nghe lời Sharkman..."
"Không sao, anh xem tôi đây." Tống Á vênh mặt, quay lại mắng vào mặt Fergie, "Đừng có ở đó mà cười cợt với tôi nữa! Qua đây!"
Hắn dẫn Fergie vào phòng hóa trang VIP của mình, nghiêm túc làm mẫu chỉ bảo trong thời gian rất lâu, hai người mới đủng đỉnh đi ra.
Zach Snyder khoanh tay đứng chờ tại chỗ, ánh mắt đờ đẫn.
"Được rồi đó." Tống Á nói với anh ta.
"Được rồi, chúng ta làm lại một lần, các đơn vị chú ý, Action!"
Bảng quay phim clapper board hạ xuống đánh cạch.
Ta ta, ta đa ta đa, ta ta...
Khúc nhạc dạo vang lên lần nữa, sự chú ý của Fergie lần này đã tập trung nhiều hơn. Cô nhìn chằm chằm Tống Á, toàn thân tỏa ra cảm giác quyến rũ của người phụ nữ trưởng thành, vòng eo như lá liễu nhẹ lay động, đi từng bước theo nhịp đến gần bên giường, sau đó nằm sấp xuống, bắt đầu làm các tư thế gợi cảm với Tống Á.
"Cắt! OK, tốt lắm!"
Zach Snyder hài lòng kết thúc cảnh quay của phần này. Anh ta bị thói quen yêu cầu thấp của Tống Á làm hư, hiệu quả quay tạm ổn là chuyển cảnh luôn.
Ba nam một nữ, bốn vũ công mặc trang phục nhạc công đã vào chỗ, sau khi luyện tập cách đi lại mấy lần, họ bắt đầu quay cảnh thứ hai.
Fergie làm biểu cảm cám dỗ, chậm rãi sà vào người Tống Á theo điệu nhạc, hai người nhìn nhau, hai cặp môi ngày càng gần.
Ta ta, ta đa ta đa, ta ta...
Giai điệu thu hút của kèn trumpet vang lên lần thứ hai, những tay chơi trumpet do vũ công đóng tiến vào giả vờ thổi kèn trumpet, cơ thể lại biểu diễn những bước nhảy phóng khoáng. 
Tống Á và Fergie làm ra biểu cảm kinh ngạc và bất đắc dĩ khi đang hứng lại bị quấy rầy.
"Cắt!" Zach Snyder hô ngừng lần thứ hai, "Anne, Anne!" Anh ta hét lên với nữ vũ công kia, "Động tác cơ thể đừng có nhanh quá, phải đồng đều với những người khác nữa."
"Xin lỗi, đạo diễn." Nữ vũ công không dám phản ứng lại như Fergie, vội vàng xin lỗi Zach Snyder.
Cùng nhau luyện tập hai ngày, Tống Á có chút am hiểu về nữ vũ công này, Anne Fletcher là đồ đệ yêu quý của Sharkman, mười hai tuổi đã lấy được những chứng chỉ cao cấp nhất của các điệu nhảy như Jazz, Tap Dance, Ba-lê, mười ba tuổi mở lớp dạy múa, tài năng một cách đáng kinh ngạc. Đáng tiếc vẫn không có cơ hội tốt, hai mươi lăm tuổi vẫn chỉ là nữ vũ công đứng đầu trong nhóm nhảy sắp sửa tan rã của Sharkman.
Nhưng dù cô ta có là rồng hay hổ thì cũng không thể nổi bật trong MV của Tống Á. Nhân vật chính trong MV là Tống Á và Fergie, những vũ công khác chỉ có thể làm nền, cướp cảnh là không được.
Khi quay cảnh nhiều người thì số lần NG sẽ nhiều hơn, sau năm sáu lần, Zach Snyder mới hài lòng hô cắt, "Được rồi, tiếp theo chúng ta sẽ quay bổ sung cảnh quay riêng lẻ của nhạc công trumpet." Anh ta lớn tiếng tuyên bố.
Tạm thời không có việc của Tống Á và Fergie, hai người họ quay về phòng hóa trang, tiếp tục làm mẫu cho nhau.
Chờ sau khi bọn họ ra ngoài, bối cảnh đã được đổi đến một con hẻm nhỏ bên ngoài, nơi có một chiếc Mustang phế liệu do tổ đạo cụ thực hiện.
Tống Á và Fergie chui vào, giả vờ quấn quýt với nhau ở trong xe, sau đó đợi đoàn nhạc công trumpet lại đến "quấy rối" lần nữa...
Ngày hôm sau, chiếc Mustang được chuyển đi, cảnh "hoành tráng" nhất trong MV bắt đầu quay, mười mấy vũ công gồm cả giáo viên dạy nhảy ở Chicago của Tống Á và hai người bạn được cô ấy đưa tới nhảy qua nhảy lại cùng với Tống Á ở trung tâm và Fergie ở bên cạnh.
"Thật sự không cần quay lại sao?" Trong một cảnh quay của buổi chiều, Tống Á cảm thấy biểu cảm của mình hơi giả, bèn hỏi Zach Snyder.
"Cũng tạm được rồi, nhiều người như vậy, quay lại sẽ xuất hiện đủ chuyện mới phát sinh."
Zach Snyder đã nắm được tinh túy trong việc quay MV.
Sau trọn một ngày quay phim, Tống Á và Sharkman không hề xảy ra xung đột, quan điểm về vũ đạo của hai người... nếu thứ Tống Á chép lại ở trong MV gốc cũng được coi là quan điểm cá nhân thì nó giống với quan điểm của Sharkman đến bất ngờ, thậm chí còn giống hơn cả giáo viên vũ đạo của Tống Á. Hai người đều đồng ý Hip-hop không thể tiến triển theo phương hướng chú trọng độ khó, cũng không câu nệ việc phân biệt quá rạch ròi các thể loại khác nhau trong nhảy Hip-hop.
Bắt đầu từ ngày thứ ba, những vũ công khác bao gồm cả Fergie đều không có việc gì để làm nữa rồi, còn lại đều là cảnh nhảy riêng của Tống Á.
Biểu diễn ở trần như nguyên tác không thể được trong thời đại này, Tống Á thường sẽ thêm áo ba lỗ hoặc T-shirt không tay màu đen.
Ngày mùng Một tháng Bảy, việc quay MV "Trumpets" kết thúc hoàn hảo.
"Sau này có cơ hội lại hợp tác nhé."
Đám người Tống Á, Sharkman, Anne Fletcher bắt tay tạm biệt nhau, hai bên hợp tác rất vui vẻ, phần vũ đạo riêng của Tống Á nhận được sự chỉ đạo và trợ giúp chuyên nghiệp của Sharkman, những điều không vừa lòng lúc trước cũng tan thành mây khói.
"Đương nhiên, đây là phương thức liên lạc của tôi, cảm ơn cậu, APLUS, công việc này đã giúp vũ đoàn chúng tôi sống sót."
Sharkman cười nói, "Nhưng mà bước nhảy của cậu phải luyện nhiều vào, tố chất cơ thể của cậu rất tốt, là ngôi sao ca nhạc, luyện tập vũ đạo nhiều cũng có cái lợi."
Tống Á gật đầu đồng ý. Hoàn toàn chính xác, những siêu sao như anh em nhà MJ, còn có Paula Abdul đứng đầu trong Bảng xếp hạng đĩa đơn của Billboard đều là cao thủ vũ đạo. Paula Abdul, thậm chí cả Janet Jackson cũng có xuất thân từ biên đạo múa, còn có rapper MC Hammer, bước nhảy của bọn họ đều không chỉ giúp họ dẫn đầu trào lưu và còn đem đến nhiều lợi ích lớn.
Vừa tiễn Sharkman, điện thoại của Tống Á lại reo vang.
"Hayden, chuyện gì thế?" Hắn bắt máy ngay.
"Có một nữ quản lý nói từng làm quen với cậu ở sân bay Nam Phi, cô ta liên tục liên lạc với tôi, muốn nhờ cậu giúp cô ấy một việc, nhìn dáng vẻ hình như rất gấp đó." Hayden nói.


Một chàng trai người Trung Quốc trong lúc mơ hồ không rõ nguyên nhân đã xuyên không vào thân thể của cậu bé Alexandre Tống, một cậu trai mười lăm tuổi, mồ côi, sống nhờ nhà dì tại Chicago.
Hoàn cảnh của thân thể mà Tống Á xuyên không cực kỳ bi thảm. Đầu tiên chính là nghèo đói, gia đình của dì hắn chủ yếu sống nhờ vào món tiền trợ cấp vốn dĩ vô cùng ít ỏi.
Câu chuyện về những kẻ khi xuyên không không cần lo về vấn đề tài chính lại không hề xảy ra với hắn. Hiện tại, trong túi quần của hắn chỉ có ba đồng hai lăm xu, chỉ dám dùng để chuẩn bị cho tình huống khẩn cấp thì lấy ra gọi điện thoại công cộng.
Nơi gia đình hắn ở là phía Nam thành phố Chicago, mảnh đất của sự nghèo khó, súng ống, thuốc phiện, bang phái, báo thù chém giết lẫn nhau.
Tống Á cứ tưởng rằng hắn sẽ lớn lên trong những ngày tháng thiếu thốn đầy nguy hiểm như thế. Nhưng rồi đến một ngày hắn bỗng nhận được “thiên khải”. 
Bằng sự không ngoan, hắn đã sử dụng “thiên khải” để giúp mình trở nên nổi tiếng, đưa cả gia đình ra khỏi khu vực miền Nam Chicago và vươn lên, chiếm lĩnh toàn bộ thị trường âm nhạc nước Mỹ.


"Mr. Snyder...but that contradicts everything you told me earlier. What do you mean that you didn't hear the gunshot?" Prosecutor Dyer asked. 

"I thought I did before, but, looking back on it, I didn't." Mr. Snyder confirmed. 

He didn't hear a gunshot. From up in his room, he most likely didn't. Did he really say that he heard the gunshot before?

"This is an interesting turn of events. Defense, begin with your cross-examination." The judge announced. 

"Yes, Judge Turner." Mr. Wilson nodded his head. "Mr. Snyder, according to what you said, you didn't hear a gunshot at the night of the murder?" 

"Nope. Not a single gunshot." Mr. Snyder agreed. 

"That contradicts what Ms. Thorton has told the court." Mr. Wilson answered. "So, are you saying there was no murder?" 

"I didn't say there wasn't." Mr. Snyder answered. 

"What do you mean by that statement?" 

"When I took a walk the next morning, I saw the police surrounding the alleyway." 

"So, does this mean what Ms. Thornton had to say about the murder was a lie?" Mr. Wilson questioned. 

If that was the case, then that means I'm innocent. I glanced over at Mr. Dyer and noticed how confused he looked. Two people having two different answers. One could be telling the truth, and the other one is telling a lie. According to my statement, it seems that Mr. Snyder is telling the truth. However, in order to convince the whole jury that will be difficult. 

"My lord, this changes everything." The Judge sighed. "I commence a recess. Everyone, come back in 15 minutes. I want the prosecutor and defense to decide upon the matter. If you have another witness to come in account, please inform us. Court adjourned." 

We then began the 15 minute break. I was surrounded by police men following me to the lobby.

"Ms. Berger!" I heard Mr. Wilson call me from behind. 

I turned my head and answered. "Yes?" 

"I'm sorry about the trial. It must have been confusing for you." Mr. Wilson apologized. 

"It was alright. Don't worry about it." I reassured him. "I was just wondering why Mr. Dyer was shocked about Mr. Snyder's comment. Didn't Mr. Dyer call him up?" 

"That's true. I've been wondering the same exact thing. If I were you, I wouldn't trust Prosecutor Dyer. Rumor has spread around that he bribes the witnesses to say what he wants them to say, no matter right or wrong." 

I've never heard anything like that, but this is the first time I have met Mr. Dyer, so I think I should listen to Mr. Wilson. 

"Ms. Berger." I heard a voice calling me. 

I turned my head to the right and noticed Mr. Dyer. "Oh, Prosecutor Dyer." 

"May I speak with you alone?"

I looked over to Mr. Wilson and noticed that he looked a bit annoyed. It made me wonder if I should actually go with Mr. Dyer.

"Ms. Berger!" Mr. Dyer yelled at me.

I flinched and began following him without my free will. I became scared of him. What was he going to do to me. 

"I'm glad you were able to come with me, Ms. Berger. I wanted to ask you a few questions alone." 

"You did?" I chuckled with sarcasm. 

"Yes. Now, so that night of the murder, did you actually see Mr. Snyder in the top window?" 

"You know I'm the suspect here. Of course I will say no to protect myself, Prosecutor Dyer. Why do you even ask me?" 

"I just wanted to make sure. He happened to tell me earlier that he say you as the murderer." 

I then stopped walking. "What?" 

Mr. Dyer then turned around and looked at me sternly. "That was my same reaction when he suddenly switched his story." 

So Mr. Dyer didn't know about that. That expression he showed was real. He was really shocked. "So he changed his story? Why on earth would he do something like that?" 

"My exact questions. I wanted to know if he was actually there at the night of the murder. Did you happen to see him up in his room?" 

I tried to recall what happened that night. "I don't remember. I don't think I actually looked up that night." I answered truthfully. 

Wait. Why am I helping the person who wants to prove me guilty? 

"Hold on. Why am I helping you out? You are just trying to find a way to prove me quilty." I scowled at him. 

"I suppose you are right." Mr. Dyer sighed. 

"I believe in Miss! She didn't do it!" Lekkey yelled out at Mr. Dyer and ran across the lobby to us. 

"Lekkey, hold on!" Mr. Bianchi ran up to us also. He stopped when he reached us and gained his breath. 

"It's probably my time to go. Have fun talking with your police friend here, Ms. Berger." Mr. Dyer walked off. 

"What's wrong, Mr. Bianchi?" I asked. 

"Lekkey and I found something interesting. Remember about that tattoo you wanted to know about?" Mr. Bianchi informed me. 

"Yes? What about it?" 

"It apparently appears under non-UV ray lights." Mr. Bianchi explained. 

"What?" 

"I don't see how this may correlate to the case, but it may." 

"That's what Mr. Wilson told me. He said that it doesn't have anything to do with the case. All it shows is that he was part of a gang." 

"Do you happen to have any other evidence that can be presented in court that will prove your innocence?" 

"Well, there is one." I recalled. "The murderer's voice. I heard them talking the night of the murder. The one talking a lot had a groggy, deep sounding voice, while the one named 'Gully' had a slightly lighter voice than the first man. It also wasn't as groggy." 

"Did Mr. Snyder's voice recall any memories for you?" 

I then tried looking back on Mr. Snyder's voice and one of the two men's voices. "Not really." 

"Hmmm, then that might mean Mr. Snyder isn't one of the men. Anyone else in the court today?" 

I then shook my head. "Nope. I think I'd need to listen to their voices again."

"Miss." Lekkey interrupted. 

"Yes, Lekkey?" 

"I also talked with Ms. Kitty about the different gangs. She mentioned that most gang members have tattoos on their bodies depending which gang they are in. The Violet Cloves and the Green Gangs have it on their wrists, while the Shred Snippers and the Crusaders have it on their necks. Also, depending on which rank they are on, the gang members have different styles of tattoos. Lower ranks apparently have some part of the letter of their gang name written on their wrist or neck, while the higher ups have a different symbol." 

"How do those symbols look?" 

"For the Violet Clove's, the boss has a colored four leaf clover, while the second boss has a 3-leafed clover."

Oh, so my brother must have been the second leader of the Violet Clove. Why would they want to kill him? 

"Thank you for letting me know, Lekkey." 

Suddenly one of the policemen called in the people. "The 15 minute recess is finished. Court has continued." 

"Good luck, Ms. Berger." Mr. Bianchi patted my shoulder. 

"Thanks. I could use all the luck I could get." I sighed as I followed the policemen into the courtroom. 

Hopefully my innocence could be proven with the evidence I have...

"Are you done getting dressed up in there!?" A Nurse called out from outside Maria's room. As she tightened the ribbon that was around her sweater.

The clothing the Hospital has given her weren't Adventurer clothing but Maria would take what she would get. She was wearing a yellow ribbon tie v-neck sweater with red and black accents along with a matching skirt and red beret. 

"I'm finished, can you please tell me what room he's located in?" Maria asked for the 100th time. The Nurse sighed as she handed a bag that had Maria's name written on it.

"Room 205." The nurse then walked out of Maria's room.

"Spriggan!" Maria called out from outside Edgar's hospital room. Even though the blonde was out of breath she didn't stop calling out to him. Once the door open Maria was greeted by the Spriggan who had a scowl on his face. For some reason he had the clothing he had on before.

"Maria-" Edgar quickly covered his mouth. It seems like he had asked about her wellbeing too. Maria blushed when he had said her name. She didn't know why but it made her feel happy that Edgar was worried. "I- I- Why the hell are you yelling kid?" Edgar asked trying to go back to his scary persona.

Maria noticed that he was playing with some of the strands of his hair. 'Is he flustered?' She wondered looking at him. She then smiled teasingly.

"Fufu, I don't recall telling you my name, Spriggan~" Maria giggled softly. She sat down on the side of his bed with a smug look. Edgar looked away from the young girl.

"You dropped your ID card, kid." He explained drily whipping out a small Adventurers Card. Maria blushed brightly at her idiocy.

"Ah-! I- I wasn't- Hmph! Give me that!" Maria then tried to grab the card out of Edgar's hand but he lifted it up out of Maria's reach. 

"You weren't what?" Edgar asked with a smug tone. His face didn't show it but he enjoyed seeing Maria flustered. "Thought I asked about you?" He asked causing Maria to flinch. He had guessed it on his first try. Maria didn't know what to say back. She then had tears in her eyes.

"*Hic* *Hic* I didn't- I wasn't-" She began to sob causing Edgar to freeze in his tracks.

'Shit I made her cry... I don't what to say...' Edgar then slowly handed Maria her ID. 

"Don't...cry. I'll buy you some... ice cream..." Edgar offered sheepishly. Maria to stop crying since she had never tried ice cream before.

"Really?? I heard that those were recently made so I never got to try it" Maria smiled with red cheeks. It was quite too easy to get her to listen. 

'She really is a kid.' Edgar then began to walk out the room. 'How old is she really? I didn't get to look at her age on her ID...'  

Maria was cleared to be leave the Hospital but one of the Doctors had asked to speak with Edgar privately. Maria stood afar wanting to know what was happening. 

"I want ice cream" Maria pouted as she stood just watching the adults talk. She then shook her head. 'No-! I'm an adult! I'm not some kid! Jeez, I graduated the academy!' The blonde scolded herself for acting so childishly. 

"Are you done?" Edgar asked confused at Maria's actions. The young girl flinched surprised when she saw Edgar.

"I- I should be asking you that!" Maria replied becoming flustered. Her cheeks turned red becoming hot. 

"Oh is Maria your partner Mr. Romero?" The Doctor asked as he handed a yellow package to Edgar. "She was asking about you the moment she woke up. Haha, take care of her as well as yourself. Maria is pretty young." The Doctor waved then left to treat other patients.

Edgar look at Maria who's face was covered in red. She instantly began to walk towards the exit not wanting to explain herself. 

"You better not say anything." She stated not looking at Edgar.

Maria Yerim is a newly graduated adventurer who has a beginning degree in Traditional Holy Magicks. She may be young but she hasn’t experienced the real world until now.

When she gets saved by a man of the Spriggan race, she decides to partner with him so that they can beat the evil Demon King that causes monsters called 'Lamia' to appear.
