As Anna drug Thomas onto a stage towards a microphone, she whispered "Hurry up, you're already late." As Thomas floated inches away from the microphone he mumbled "I really need to change this up… it's such a hassle." Thomas grabbed the microphone and then lowered himself to the ground as he said "I know you probably don't wanna be here… I know I don't… but anyway let's get this opening ceremony on a roll." Thomas smiled as he said, "I'll be watching so be sure to make this interesting." As the entire room switched into a forest the crowd began to look around in confusion as they tried to figure out what had happened. Thomas began to fly above them still holding the microphone as he said "I've created fake people all around this forest, saving them still counts as a point, and the same goes for killing them, but as a hero school I'd prefer if you didn't do that, also if your curious I teleported you all her, this is a forest that exists in a nonexistent place, so feel free to cause as much damage as you'd like, I'll be fixing it all later so it doesn't really matter." Thomas held the microphone closer to his mouth as he smiled and said "Now then, time to tell you some of the more interesting details." Thomas tossed the microphone aside as his voice echoed the words "There is a limited amount of people you can save in this forest, so feel free to fight amongst yourselves in order to claim more points."
Anna began to jump so she could be seen in the crowd as she asked "What about the fourth-year students?" Thomas stared at her for a moment as he mumbled "I was getting to that." Thomas pointed to the crowd as he said "And since it was mentioned a moment ago, only the third, second, and first years will be participating in this, however, the fourth years are amongst you and are there to help whenever you need it, they'll basically make sure none of you accidentally kill each other since these powers are quite dangerous." Leo stared up at him excitedly as he said "This is gonna be awesome." Leo began to glance around as he said "I wonder what these fake people are gonna look like." As the crowd stood there a loud screech was heard that unsettled everyone but Thomas who said "Oh yeah, and before I forget, there are fake attackers too, who have powers as well, as such there are some extremely dangerous fakes so be aware of that, they're also the reason so many of the fourth years are here." As the crowd began to run off in different directions Thomas landed beside Anna and Leo as he asked "Why aren't you two going?" Leo stood there for a moment as he said "I was gonna wait for the more eager people to go away so I could ask whoever's left if they'd like to team up and split the points at the end." Thomas stared at him for a moment and then smiled as he said "That's not such a bad idea, most people go for personal gain, but if you work like this then you'll be able to cover more ground."
Leo blushed as he said, "Actually that's not the reason." Thomas stared at him surprised as he said "It's not?" Leo scratched the back of his head as he said "I was gonna do that because my ability is more focused on defense so I don't have anything for offense." Thomas stared at him in disappointment as he said "So it's all personal gain for you too?" Leo continued to blush as he said "Yeah… sorry to disappoint you." Anna tapped Thomas's shoulder as she said "There's usually a prize at the end of this isn't there?" Thomas glanced at her as he said "Well yeah… though I switch it every year." Anna grabbed Leo's hand as she marched off and said "Well then let's go, if your skill is defensive then I can use your power to help the both of us." Thomas watched her drag him off as he said "Anna and Leo… I suppose I could see why she wanted to use his ability… they'll probably gain a lot of points." Thomas smiled as he said, "I already know every possible way this could possibly turn out, so let's see if you can still manage to amaze me." As Leo waited out in an open field he asked "What exactly am I supposed to be doing?" Anna stared at him from some bushes as she said "Just be quiet and wait." Leo began to look around until he saw a group of people riding horses with people on the back of them riding towards him as he asked "What are those people doing?"
Anna smiled as she excitedly said, "I knew it, he got lazy and didn't bother switching it up." The people stopped a few feet away from him as they said "You, your one of those heroes aren't you?" Leo took a fighting pose as he nervously "Yeah, so let's hurry up and do this." The man got off of the horse as he said "I should be able to beat someone like you on my own easily." As the man approached Leo he nervously said "Hey Anna, what exactly are we supposed to do?" Leo glanced at Anna as he asked "Are you listening?" Anna continued to watch from the bushes as she stuck her thumb up with an accomplished look. Leo stared at her for a moment as he shouted "Don't just sit there help me, there are too many of them!" The man punched Leo in the face as he said "Stop acting like a fool and fight me seriously." Leo slid back a few inches with the man's fist still on his head as said "That fricken hurt!" Leo punched the man in his stomach as he mumbled "Maybe all that military combat will come in handy after all." The man stared at where he was hit as he asked "Is that really all you can do?" Leo glanced up at him and stared for a while before nervously saying "Is it too late for a truce?" As Leo stood there the man collapsed and had a small needle sticking out from his arm. Leo stared at the needle for a moment and then glanced at Anna who was hiding in the bushes with what looked like a blowgun.
Anna have Leo a thumbs up as she mouthed the words start acting. Leo stood there for a moment and then raised a foot on top of the man's back and nervously "I-I beat your leader effortlessly… so… come at me if you wanna risk your life!" The people paused for a moment and then said "What? You thought he was the strongest one of us?" Leo flinched as he said, "O-of course not, b-but if any of you wanna fight then I'll gladly beat you all with ease!" The men glanced at the people tied up on the horse as he said "We ain't stupid, we know you want them for the same reason we do, you want power." The man pulled out a gun and shot one of the people as he said "The only difference between me and you, is what we're willing to do." Leo stood there nervously as he said "I can't believe he made these fake people so aggressive." The man held a gun towards Leo as he said "Your speaking nonsense again." The man smiled as he said, "You actually scared me for a moment." The man aimed at the bushes with his finger on the trigger as he said "Let's see what you do without her, since she is the one doing most of the offense right?" Just as the man was about to pull the trigger Leo jumped out in front of the barrel as he shouted "Oh no you don't!" As the man pulled the trigger Leo began to brace himself for the bullet as he mumbled, "Please bounce off please bounce off please bounce off!"
Thomas stood there holding the bullet with his pointer finger and thumb in front of Leo as he said "You're not getting shot, with only the thick skin super power your skin only would've slowed the bullet, it probably would've gotten stuck in your flesh, although he was going for your head so you probably would've died if I hadn't stepped in." Thomas glanced at the bushes and said "Thinking that I changed nothing was dumb, but I'll give you credit for attempting to take on this group since they do have a high number of hostages, but I forgot to mention one thing, these people do count as criminals and villains, so stopping them also rewards some points, I suppose killing them rewards points to… although the amount of points will be halved." Thomas glanced at the group of people on the horses as he said "I'll reset them so you two can get away." Leo grabbed Thomas's shoulder as he said "No! Just give me a chance to try and fight them one on one." Thomas glanced at the crowd of people and picked two of them as he said "You and you, step forward, I'll have the two of you fight against these two, if you two win I'll make you stronger." Thomas glanced at Anna and Leo as he said "And as for you two you'll be made stronger from this if you win anyway." Leo smiled as he said, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity, I won't let it go to waste!"
Thomas killed all of the men except for the two he said he'd have fight Anna and Leo as he said "Alright, you can begin the fight, and make it quick, there are tons of other students around, I can't just sit around and babysit you two the entire time." Anna walked out of the bush with a smug look on her face as she said "Alright, I'm gonna win!" Thomas stared at her as he mumbled "Hardly… you almost got saved by a first-year student who doesn't even have any experience with this whole superpower thing." Leo and Anna stood side by side prepared to fight as the two men said to each other "Let's make quick work of them." Thomas sat down as he said, "Come on hurry up!" Anna began to distance herself as Leo began to charge one of the men and shout "Alright let's do this!" As Leo and the man collided they began to try and push one another back while the other tried shooting at Anna but missing both of the shots he fired. Anna began to hide behind a tree as she peeked out and said "Alright, now I just need to activate my power." Anna quickly pulled out a thin metal needle and spit on it as she said "Alright, now all I need to do is pierce his skin." Anna put the dart inside the dart gun and peeked out from behind the tree as she said "Alright, I've got him in my sight." Anna quickly raised the dart gun to her mouth and shot the dart into the man's neck causing him to quickly fall to the ground completely unconscious.
Leo glanced at her with a smile as he said "Looks like she's already done, I guess I need to step up my game." Leo quickly swept the man's foot out from underneath him and elbowed his face as he was falling slamming the man's face into the ground and knocking him unconscious as well. Leo smiled as a box icon appeared in front of him saying "You've grown stronger, by beating these criminals you've received twenty-three points." Leo smiled as he proclaimed "Man this feeling is great! I can't believe that it's this easy." Thomas smiled as he said, "He made that look pretty easy, though he's wasting too much time." Anna ran over to him and grabbed his hand while saying "Come on we're running out of time." Anna glanced at Thomas as she said "Thank you for helping us out, we're gonna go now and become stronger so you won't need to help us!"
