บท 481: CH. 502: New Ranks
Rika and Shizuka had to deal with a lot inside the Hero's Association. Sekingar reduced their burden by offering them a room inside the Exam Center. As the relatives of an S-Class Hero, they were treated with the utmost respect by the Hero Association. The ladies accepted it without batting an eye.
"Rika, why did you hold back?" Shizuka asked as she poked Rika's cheek. "You could have done better."
Demolishing this entire facility was easy for Rika, yet she barely showed any of her skills. And despite holding back, she got placed near the bottom of the B-Class, Rank 98. The others present during the test gave her a hell of applause for her superhuman strength, calling nicknames like Super Maid and such from the examiners. Some tried to poach them into their faction but ultimately failed.
Following Rika's example, she heals minor cuts and bruises. Even that got a wide-eyed look from nearly everyone. Magic wasn't a thing in this world, after all. She did her best to show enough abilities to rank near Rika since they had to work together. Shizuka wasn't far behind either at B-Class, Rank 104.
"I just thought it's fun." Rika grinned foolishly. "We won't hoard Aa-kun's light this way."
Before the undead breakout, they used to be in the spotlight wherever they went with Asahi. Now she left her lover bathed in that glorious light. She had lived like a soldier for most of her life but the apocalypse turned her into a sex maid. Not that she hated her new life. On the contrary, she felt more free to pursue her desires.
"You make no sense," Shizuka muttered. "Should we leave now? Aa-kun won't come for an hour."
"Yeah. It's getting boring here."
Sekingar, who stood out the door, flinched at their conversation.
'They were holding back…'
The pair received the highest score among all the hero candidates, whether it was the physical or written examination. Although they were far from Asahi's level, they showed great promise as rookies.
'A-Rank won't be hard for them.'
That's where he drew their limits. S-Class was reserved for monsters. Abnormally strong freaks who could rival the might of an emergency army division or even exceed it.
His earpiece beeped, and he quickly answered the call.
"Hello."
The indifferent voice made him shudder.
"Tatsumaki-san, is something the matter?"
"How's the situation with the new monster?" Tatsumaki inquired. "Hand over its location."
Sekingar fell silent. He had to answer her question without offending her.
"I have to go shopping with Fubuki after," Tatsumaki urged. "Hurry up. I won't kill it if you don't give it to me in ten seconds."
Tatsumaki was a moody hero — Sekingar heard the rumor multiple times but never believed it. Today he had to. She prioritized shopping with her sister over the life of millions.
'Blizzard of Hell.'
Sekingar recalled the news on the television yesterday. Tatsumaki's sister was beaten yesterday by none other than their latest S-Class recruit. A conflict would break out if Tatsumaki came to know about Asahi's deeds.
"Why the hell are you silent? Did he drop dead?"
Sekingar cleared his throat. "Someone took care of the disaster before it wrecked more havoc. You should enjoy shopping with your sister."
"Whatever." Tatsumaki hung up.
Sekingar took a sigh and looked inside the room. He was tempted to ask for Asahi's whereabouts and inquire about his reason for bullying the Blizzard of Hell.
'Is it because she bullies everyone else?'
Shizuka and Rika opened the door, ending his speculations.
"We're leaving," Rika said before Sekingar raised any questions. "Is there any other protocol for new heroes?"
"C-Class has a weekly quota to fill for tasks. As you are B-Class, you're exempted from them. You should start by lending a hand in defeating any Mysterious Beings."
"Oh, we're good at that." Rika grinned. "Then we're off to slay some bitches~."
Rika dragged Shizuka, seemingly hurried to begin her new quest. As they came out of the Exam Center, the sky was covered in orange hues.
A man waited for them in the approaching night, leaning against his luxurious sports car. He took off his glasses and frowned. The open, provocative air around him was easy to read. Rika couldn't mistake the stance for anything.
"You're that guy in the room with Aa-kun." Rika tapped her forehead. "I don't remember your name though. Are you here to pick a fight?"
Amai Mask scoffed. "Give your man a message. Amai Mask will keep an eye on him."
Amai Mask tried to get inside the car after delivering his message but an invisible hand grabbed him. He couldn't move. "Psychokinesis?"
It was his first time seeing the ability into action. He had only fought monsters in his life. Humans, the typical possessor of psychokinesis powers, remained out of his radar.
Rika touched Shizuka's back. "Your turn."
Shizuka smiled at Rika's consideration before turning to Amai Mask and frowning. "Stop bothering Aa-kun. He doesn't have time for you."
The handsome man had enmity with Asahi. It couldn't be an unresolvable one, otherwise, Asahi would've killed him. So, she just let him off with a warning.
"Annoying."
Amai Mask pumped his fist full of power and tore through Rika's telekinesis. He would kill anything evil but Shizuka and Rika didn't come off as evil people. After a shrug, he slipped into his car and drove away.
"His head isn't in the right place," Rika whispered. "Forget about him. Let's go exploring, my lucky star. We might save a damsel or two in the night."
"Slow doooown — Stop, Rika!"
Shizuka yanked Rika, and the momentum shift shoved Rika into her chest. Rika couldn't help but squeeze unconsciously, groping Shizuka's breasts over her dress.
The heroes, who came out of the Exam Center with disappointment or excitement on their faces, saw the maid groping a beautiful blonde. The odd but tempting scene replaced their disappointment with a different emotion.
Shizuka acted impervious to everything and turned to her side. Mana was gathering in a spot, a phenomenon she witnessed far too many times. Within a moment, Asahi teleported into her vision.
The first thing Asahi saw was his goddess sister staring at him while Rika playfully squeezed her boobs. A strangely captivating sight.
