Chereads / The curse of Asphalt / Chapter 9 - A Trap

Chapter 9 - A Trap

All the students of hero academy gathered at the student hall, all anticipating their newest mission.

"Hello students. We've just got news; low rank supernaturals have been loretring around area 51 for some days now. Your mission is to intercept and capture the villains alive but brute force is allowed. All C and D rankers would be accompanied by atleast an A or B ranker to ensure maximum safety. Your mission guide will be present in your status windows. Check it for more information", the principal instructed.

Sarah noticed John's hands were shaking and assured John that he will be alright as long as he stayed with his team. John couldn't inform her that his powers were only speed and noting more with no strength whatsoever.

As John continued to sob internally. The rest of the students started approaching a large vessel filled with weapons and battle suit.

A straight line of laser light scanned each of the students eyes before gaining them access to their weapons. In curiosity John asked Sarah what was going on,

"Oh these! Every student is expected to carry a side weapon incase of damaged core or over use of core. The computer scans your system implant and gives you access to your weapon but since you haven't chosen yet, i think you should now" Sarah answered John confidently.

"Oh! you can choose among gun, spear or shield only" Sarah added excitedly.

John quickly grabbed his weapon before rushing over to meet the other students who were already leaving. Mean while Sarah boarded a separate vehicle meant for the top five...

"Why would the academy send an army to go get a couple of low ranks isn't this extreme" John thought to himself as he sat down in the vehicle thinking profusely.

screech!

The whole convoy of vehicles stopped at a distance of 1km from the target location to avoid being seen by the enemies. All the academy students began to come out in their numbers while being led by a leader.

John was in a team of 10 students made up of six C rankers and four D rankers including John himself. They were all being led by their A rank team leader, 'Maya'.

John straightened up his battle suit which was just a normal raised up collar shirt with golden color and a black outline to the edges.

As they all aliased out of the vehicle, Maya commanded all her group students to follow close behind her. All the students obeyed her command and lined up in single file behind her including John who just cluelessly copied their movements.

beep!

beep!

John's status window popped up with an inbox message:

"All students head back to base. Its is a trap!"

John of course reacted to the inbox but it appeared as if other students hadn't receive or check their inbox.

"Maya its a trap! its a tr-"

John yelled out but he was quickly interrupted by a blast from their target location.

As the smoke and gust cleared from the blast site, four figures can slowly be revealed. The students of course didn't remain silent, most of them immediately ran back towards their vehicles while others stayed behind as they had not expected low rankers to create a blast up to that level.

John of course was among those of them running away but an unexpected surprise hit him hard.

pow!,

"Who said you could run away pretty boy"

A lady with black hair cut in bob style and skin tight leather gown gnarled at John. As for her facial appearance; it was just the normal bubble gum chewer face but with a nose ring attached. She had voluptuous body and curves.

John slowly stood up from the ground staggering. As he tried to stare at her direction, another direct attack was sent his way but was quickly intercepted by Maya.

"Run John!"

Maya yelled. John immediately took off but this time, he activated his core and ran with his super speed.

Maya activated her core.

"Oh i see! you are also a telekinesis user. Well my name is Lisa and you just pissed me off"

Whish!

A great ball of energy filled Lisa's hand and immediately, Maya came flying towards Lisa but not of her own will,

pow!

"I don't have time for you kid. I'm after the boy but it was fun while it lasted..." Lisa chuckled. Maya stayed unconscious on the ground, twitching but with minor injuries.

"Now where is that boy" Lisa smiled as she dashed towards John.

"What have i gotten myself into god", John cried out to himself as he raced ahead. It was after a while, he noticed that his legs where no longer touching the ground but floating in the air.

He thought that was a miracle but that was no miracle. He was soon welcomed by the warm embrace of Lisa's arm.

"Where am i?" John muttered.

"You are in my arms kid"

As John's vision cleared, he remembered that familiar voice of Lisa.

"VI-VI-VI- LLAIN" John stuttered shakily. He began to struggle to get out of Lisa's embrace but Lisa was sure to never let go.

"John think! think! vibrate molecules, shoot lightning... think! think!" John's mind went wild as it thought of various ways to escape.

pow!

John's hand managed to slip through the struggle and landed Lisa a blow on the face. It didn't do Lisa any harm but rather irritated her. She immediately tossed John away.

"One thing i can't tolerate is a kid acting like a total b*tch", Lisa growled.

"Speak of yourself" John blurted out unconsciously

"Hey kid why can't i check your information", Lisa asked John authoritatively.

"Cause i'm special", John raised his hair backward and knelt down(self appraisal).

pow!

thud!

John landed on the ground after receiving a terrible blow from Lisa's fist

"You shouldn't have pushed it kid", lisa growled.

After staying motionless on the ground for more than 30 seconds, John stood up from the ground but this time he was completely unarmed.

"Thank god i chose shield as my side weapon"

"What?!"

"Oh that was just the nano shield i wanted to test" John answered sweeetly, trying to be nice to her.

Swooosh

Sarah slowly descended from the sky with raged red eyes and tremendous energy.

"Who said you could toil with hero association! John! watch how i kick her ass", Sarah said with serious intent.

"Wow this one has some serious stats" Lisa smiled as she glared at Sarah.

Whish!

boom!

"Don't think your telekinesis can just grab anyone" Sarah chuckled as she sustained her wind shield.

"Now this should be interesting" Lisa chuckled.

*Mean while,

The four men who terrorized the students continued their terror when one of them received a phone call;

"Go meet Lisa and bring the boy immediately"*
