Capítulo 72: Chapter 72 - Questions that no one can answer
Zhu Kang silently laid on the bed watching the two fight and tear at their hair. Watching for a few minutes was fun but these two had been fighting for an hour.
'Boring.. so boring.. Hey you treacherous system, do you have any daily task for me?'
{"Daily task: train for ten hours
Target task: kiss the pain away."}
'What are you talking about, huh? What are you talking about in code now? Kiss my ass that's what I'll do. Don't ever show me target task'
{'But host asked me to inform you about the target task…."}
'That was way back then. Not now. I don't wish to do any target task, not with that asshole. I won't,'
{"Host has a harmonious relationship with the target,"}
'Harmonious? This is what you call harmonious..' he wiped the lube off his shoulders. 'That brat really needs an ass-whooping. Plus he is after my brother. Why would I try to act out a romance play with him?'
{"….."}
'What? Got no words now?'
The system shut up after that.
Kang sighed loudly. The two were still tearing at each other. 'I'm hungry.. let them do what they want..'
He got up and silently walked out of the door.
Right as he opened the door, four superheroes stepped back and stood there in an awkward pose.
'Eavesdropping at such an age and time… tsk. You guys could have just gone in and taken a look. Have a look at the crazy heroes in there,'
He slightly bowed to them and walked away to the canteen.
Some of them gave him weird looks and some even whispered behind his back.
He did not bother with them all because now he had a huge existential crisis. The system and this world…
He did not care about these side characters if they don't come in his path.
Spreading rumors is okay. They can do anything they want and talk about him behind his back. But if they did intervene and end up being powerful as fuck… then…..
'I have no clue what I will do…I will run? Fight? We'll see what the world throws at me'
He ate his food and silently left for the training room.
Classes were suspended for a few days to secure the kids. That's why his class training area was completely free.
The place that was burned down into rubbles was completely restored back to its glorious form in just a day.
'I have to commend their work. They got this place looking just as it was…wonder who does the repairs and stuff,'
Superheroes fighting villains was so normal in the city.
The only problem it brought was they both were very strong. Their fights leave behind a lot of structural damage… broken buildings, establishment, and other city assets. but to his surprise, all of them were restored easily in just a few day's time.
'is it a superhero doing? or is it technology?'
He went ahead doing the basic exercises first. The monkey bar, the swing… he did that all until his muscles started to strain.
To his surprise, he also noticed a boxing bag to the side.
"Ah, that's new. Did they install it when they did they repaired this place?' he punched it slightly.
The bag was heavy and weighed enough that it didn't even budge with his punch.
"Good quality… nice.."
He did basic punches and kicks.
"What can I do? Can I defeat that system? No, I don't think so? Then who controls these systems? Who was the guy who I worked for? Was he a bad man/ woman?"
His mind was plagued with so many questions.
Questions to which he did not have the answers.
He was super confused as to what to do now…
The system was threatening him with his life the word was threatening with his identity and shit… everything was going downhill from the moment he entered that transmigration pod.
"What must I have done? Accept my death with a smile? I can't do that. I'm not a saint. I want to love laugh and live, god darn it. Why must I be stuck in a place with no food and be tortured to help others! It's hell!"
"Wait was it hell? Was it my punishment for doing a crime?"
He did not have any recollection of his past life so it could be possible. But why is hell a place where you help others do shit?
"Ahhh… why can't I have answers! Come on, give me some answers!"
His muscles were already starting from his previous training, now his healing stab wound on his shoulders aching slightly.
"Why do I have to train? My whole body hurts….." he moaned but after a while, he started to punch the bag again. "I have to save Lia. How can I depend on some hero like a damsel in distress? If I want something done. I have to do this myself. Saving Lia is my number one priority now. Next comes saving the world. I think I'm doing great at that.'
Altren was in no way close with Jake. Only when they fall in love, the world be destroyed so..
'Mission accomplished? I don't know..I will have to wait and see…'
{"Daily task completed. 2 coins have been added to your balance "}
"Eh, I didn't work out for…." He peered out the transparent glass at the huge clock in the hallway.
Clearly, it was 1 am.....
In the night!
"Fuck did I work out for so long! I can't believe it…" he swiftly wiped the sweat away and rushed out the training room.
Aaron was standing there with an unknown look on his face.
Seeing him Kang froze. 'did he hear my rants? This room is sound proof right?' he peered back at the training room.
"We will find him."
"Huh what?"
Aaron held out some pain relief patches. "I will find Lia.. so don't strain yourself. Your shoulder's in a bad state…"
Kang took it from him. In fact he did not need them at all. His shoulder healed much better after he ate some food. His body just needed some energy.
Throwing a fit and going on a hunger strike was not the way to deal with anger.
He found that the hard way while dealing with a bleeding shoulder wound..
"I know…. But when? He could be tortured or killed by this time,"
"They won't kill him. Those groups target kids with powers to train them…. They…" he stopped midway, refusing to look into his eyes.
Kang knew what would happen. The villain will train the hero kids as their own. They will become a part of the villain group.
'Fucking shit.. I hate that I'm helpless…..'
"I will rescue him I swear." Aaron suddenly hugged him.
Kang stiffly stood there.
Aaron gently patted his head. "Don't worry.. Please eat and sleep well…"
The heat from his palm really soothed his mind. He slumped onto his body gripping his shoulders. "I hope you find him..."
