บท 24: The Reinforcements

By the time they managed to get the helicopter back under control, the reporter had to struggle to get her clothes into a proper state as her shirt and skirt were almost blown off from the force of the wind! She didn't even bother trying to fix her hair because she knew that it would be impossible and she just searched for her microphone and picked it up while waiting for the cameraman to bring the camera up again. The dust in the area began to clear up and the reporter's eyes widened in shock as she saw GHOST standing alone on top of the broken and torn body of the headless Anima. He won… he really won!

[GHOST won the battle! I can't believe it! I can't believe that he won! The Calamity Class that threatened to destroy the city has been killed by GHOST in an awesome display of undeniable power! Have you ever seen anything like this? I'm right here seeing it live and I still can't believe it! GHOST really won!]

The reporter was shouting at the top of her lungs as her excitement threatened to drive her insane! She was so excited that she didn't even care about how she was being viewed by the rest of the world, and she grabbed her hair and pulled on it desperately, crying in joy and relief! She was so scared that they were all going to get killed by the Calamity Class, so her relief was too much for her to bear and she just began to cry like a child!

All over the world, people were screaming and laughing in joy as they watched GHOST standing over the dead body of the Calamity Class! Even those who weren't directly affected by the attack couldn't help but be happy about the victory!

The only place that seemed to be as silent as a graveyard was Nature Academy itself. All the students and teachers of the Academy were as silent as a graveyard as they saw one of their own students standing over the dead body of a monster beyond their imagination! Mark was a Superhuman!? That was something that they couldn't wrap their heads around. They couldn't even begin to try to accept it because it just didn't make any sense!

Mark was one of the most inconspicuous people in the school and he didn't even talk that much unless he was around Arit. The teachers all disliked him because he was always skipping class, and many of the students ignored him even when he was being harassed by Francis because they didn't want to get involved in anything regarding Francis! if they got involved, then they were sure that they would be the next victim of the harassment!

To think that someone like that was a superhuman was impossible!

Some of the students who had been mean to Mark in the past started to feel a bit of dread fill them as they thought about what he could have done to them if he got angry! If they had taken their harassment too far, then wouldn't he have just crushed all of them like ants!?

The one person that everyone expected to be the most shocked was Francis. They all knew about the feud between Francis and Mark, and they expected a big reaction from Francis. But Francis didn't react. He didn't say anything about the fight and he didn't say anything about the reveal. Francis just silently sat and stared at the television with an empty look in his eyes.

…

Ratatatatata!!

The sound of a helicopter coming towards City A from the east echoed through the city. The helicopter maneuvered its way toward where some of the Disaster Class monsters were fighting against the Superhumans, and two figures jumped out from the helicopter while it was still in the air and landed on the ground!

BOOM!

"Did we really have to come here? I really don't like being in backwater cities like this one."

A guttural voice spoke up as the smoke cleared up to reveal a man and a woman. The man was large, and his shirt was tight, showing many muscles rippling beneath it! This man was named Tylor, and he was an A ranker capable of fighting on equal grounds with weaker S ranks! His blessing was from the god of flames, allowing him to use fire to incinerate his enemies!

The woman beside him was named Fiona, and she was also an A ranker on par with Tylor. She was a beautiful woman with large breasts and wide seductive hips! Her long auburn hair framed her perfect face and made her blue eyes stand out beautifully! Her dress was cut low in the chest area, so every man in the area couldn't help but turn to look at her with lust in their eyes once they both landed.

Fiona was blessed by the goddess of Love herself. And even though her blessing was only a minor one, it gave her enough power to seduce anyone that she encountered! It didn't matter if it was a man or beast! She could make you fall for her with nothing but a glance!

The two superhumans were from the emergency response unit of the National Superhuman Alliance. The National Superhuman Alliance was a large body that encompassed all of the superhumans in the world. Every superhuman that existed and lived in America was registered under the American NSA branch without exception.

But even though the Alliance had the authority to enforce the registration of superhumans, they did not have the authority to force superhumans to go and fight. Many superhumans who registered with the NSA didn't bother fighting under the NSA because they knew that they would not get as much recognition or compensation from a government body. Instead, they went to fight under a separate guild that would pay them a lot more money and give them a lot more freedom!

The only time that superhumans were mandated to go and fight by the NSA was when emergencies like this arose and reinforcements were asked for. If there were no superhumans registered under the NSA nearby, then the closest superhumans must respond to the call for help, and they would be paid for fighting off the monsters that they encountered by the government.

Fiona and Tylor were part of a separate guild called the Artemis guild and the only reason why they were even here was because they were the closest superhumans who could respond to the call for reinforcements by Tilda! Tylor looked like he would rather be doing anything else and Fiona just glanced around with an alluring look in her eyes as her thoughts ran wild! She was already thinking about how strong the Calamity Class that attacked this place must be for it to have caused this much damage in such a short time!

Once these two superhumans landed, all the monsters in the area turned toward them with mad looks in their eyes as they were immediately lured in by Fiona's seduction ability. Her ability to seduce anyone was a wide-area effect skill that she would use to put the monsters under a trance and make them charge towards her! It was very effective in drawing in aggro so that Tylor could handle monsters easily.

"I'll leave the pitiful creatures to you~ Try not to cause them too much pain since they are now under my control. They are my precious little babies after all~!"

Fiona said this to Tylor after she noticed that all the monsters were running towards them, and she slowly backed away.

When Fiona talked, she spoke in a motherly manner that would make even the strongest of men call her mummy! If not for the fact that Tylor was already used to her skill, then he would have definitely fallen for it as well!
