Chapter 8 - chapter 7: First Save

"Whooooaa," Shiro said

Taking off his hood, he saw his face which had now matured to someone in his late 20s, drop-dead handsome with his beautiful blue eyes glowing with power, well-defined jawline, and no freckles.

"I look amazing, like really hot and tall," Shiro said to himself with his voice sounding deeper, powerful, and soothing at the same time

"You sure do, I might even start to fall for you" Hermes laughs

All the females on the train had noticed Shiro, heck, everyone had noticed him, he was a giant compared to most.

"who's that?" someone asked

"He looks like a hero," another said

"Hmm, never heard of him," an old man said

"Maybe a rookie?" someone asked

"I dunno, he looks like he's got experience" someone replied

"OMG, he's so hot, do you think I can ask for his number?" a young girl blush

"In your dreams, he's way out of your league" her friend responds

Shiro blushes at the remark putting his hood back on,

"So, what happens now?" Shiro asks Hermes as the train arrives at its station "Now, you come with me to Olympus to meet the other gods" That raised flags in Shiro's head as they got off

"Eh?!, Gods!" Shiro said in surprise

"sshh, keep it down," Hermes said

"Really?" Shiro asked more quietly

"Yes, indeed" Hermes responds

"Wait a minute, Hermes as in the HERMES, Greek god HERMES" Shiro asked in shock

"The one and only" Hermes responds taking a light bow "Now come, we have much to discuss" Just then a small explosion was heard ahead

"You're up," Hermes said as he tapped his hand on Shiro's back with a smile on his face

Arriving at the scene, he saw a guardian being pinned down by a villain and another holding a young girl

"STOP!" Shiro shouts before realizing it

"Damn, another guardian!" the villain holding the girl said

"Quick, get him" Another one carrying bags of cash dropped the bags and attacks

'These guys are robbers' Shiro thought

"Common skill: Psionic blades, he can make psionic blades from his palm but they are tied to his concentration, the less concentration he has, the weaker the blade. Name: Yasushi Tomio" a mysterious feminine voice said in Shiro's head.

Whoa, who said that, what was that, some kind of stat ability" Shiro thought but was interrupted as a blade nearly decapitated him, but he dodged with relative ease.

"Is he slow or I'm I fast?" Shiro thought as he dodged with little to no effort, finally he grapes one of the villain's arms and tossed him over his shoulder, knocking the wind out of him

"Damn, don't come any closer or she dies punk!" the villain holding the girl shouted, the one holding the guardian throws him at Shiro, which he caught

"Hey, you alright?" Shiro asked

"Forget about me and stop them" the guardian replied

Shiro takes after them "Take one more step and she dies" the villain said, squeezing the girl tighter

"Help me, somebody help!" the girl cries and begs

'I have to think this through and fast' Shiro thought

'What do I do, stop them, stop them!' Shiro's head rang over and over again until *SHINK* golden chains spout from his hands and tied up both of the villains

"What the hell…" one of the villains said as the chains wrapped around his body, thinking fast, Shiro slammed them both into a wall knocking them out.

Afterward, everyone erupted in cheers, the girl's mother ran to her daughter and hugged the crying daughter tightly

"Thank you, thank you so much" she cried

"It's no problem at all ma'am" Shiro replied

"Yeah, nice one," one of the crowds said

"Look at how he took down those villains like it was nothing," another said

"Well done" the citizens cheer

Hermes shoots him a thumbs up and Shiro smiles back at him.

Later the police came and arrested the robbers.

"Do you mind if we ask you some questions about what happened here" one of the police questions Shiro.

"Well…uhm.. I just…" Shiro stutters.

"Sorry to interrupt officers but me and Mr. Hero over here are kind of in a hurry," Hermes said as he lured Shiro away from the police.

"So, how do we get to Olympus" Shiro asked

"Oh, that's easy, we just fly over there" Hermes replied with a grin on his face

"Um, can I fly?" Shiro asked with

Hermes laughed and placed a hand on Shiro's shoulder "Yes you can, but hang on to your pants" and they both shot off.
