Chapter 34 - chapter 33: The Thirteen seats

All the girls around passed out with bloody noses, the guys couldn't find themselves envious, they just felt honored to be in his presence, Biohazard had mixed reactions, on one hand, he finally had Orion's face to go by, on the other hand.

'My God, this man is handsome!!' he shouted in his head, completely forgetting the fact that Orion can read minds.

"Tell me, what do you want to be when you grow up?" Orion asked the boy.

"A h-hero" Ita stammered.

"Ah, well, I'm gonna let you in on a little secret, you see, you can become a hero," Orion said.

"Really?!" the boy looks at the God in wonder.

"Yes, a real hero helps others, they put others before themselves, that person that gives their absolute best for the sake of another person, that person is without a doubt a hero, it doesn't matter what others say and whether they're wearing a cape, uniform, suit or a apron, they're definitely a hero" he smiled at the child.

"If he smiles like that again I'm gonna die" Biohazard muttered to himself.

"So, cheer up," Orion stood up and ruffled the child's hair.

"If that's your goal, then you're gonna do just fine," Orion said as he approached Biohazard.

"Well then, I'm sure you've taught them the ways of heroics," Orion said to the heroes as he looked at the other children who looked ashamed.

"Listen, it's ok being strong, it's cool, in fact, but don't forget others, heroic is all about putting others before yourself" Orion enlightened the teens.

"We're sorry," the ring leader, a boy with black hair and red eyes said.

"That's nice and all, but I believe you know who should apologize to" Orion stated.

"Sokonashi, we're sorry" They grumbled, Ita remained silent.

*Cough* Orion coughed, trying to signal Ita to say something.

"It's alright, I guess," Ita said to the boys.

"You kids should try and improve yourself, and Sokanashi, don't hold grudges, believe when I say it doesn't go anywhere" Biohazard was the one to speak now.

"Anyway, we must be leaving, but remember, true heroics lives inside all of us, I expect you all to be fine heroes someday," Orion said as he put his hood back on and vanished with Biohazard, after, they went around helping all day, besides what Biohazard expect, Orion rarely deals with villains, opting for the more domestic issues (bullying, child abuse, maternal abuse, depression, broken homes), and the crisis he dealt with was mostly rescues.

By the time they returned to Biohazard agency, it was already dark.

"That was my busiest day ever," Biohazard said exhausted.

"I do this every day, so I'm kind of used to it," Orion said.

"Oh, the stamina of Atlas is not for show" Biohazard deadpanned.

Orion laughed "Caught me, with the stamina of Atlas, I do not grow weary, I have no need for sleep, food, water, or even air, so I guess I should apologize for having you keep up with me" Orion apologized.

Biohazard glared at Orion, but there was no real heat behind it.

"What you do is good, it's incredible," Biohazard said after a while.

"There are no domestic heroes around here, at least none that I've heard of" Biohazard sighed.

"To think that someone with your power, thinks about what happens behind closed doors, it's interesting, I believe it stems from experience of your own" the hero added.

*Sigh* "Not really, but I would be lying if I said I didn't wish there was a hero there for me, but when I look back, I realize there was" Orion smiled, thinking of his mother.

"I'll talk to the Hero Association about granting you full access in Japan" Biohazard suddenly said.

This surprised Orion "That's surprising, but it wasn't my intention to convince you" Orion said.

"I know, with what I've seen today, you could go around helping people for the rest of your long life without a care in the world, but having you work with the Hero association is not only an honor but a necessity," Biohazard said.

"How so?" Orion asked curious.

"I feel like a stiff is coming, I can almost sense it and I'm sure you know what it is," Biohazard said to him.

"The 13 seats of the Elder Phantom" Orion said suddenly.

"What?" the hero asked confused

"During the days of chaos, the elder phantom formed the seats, it was made of phantoms who devoured spark essence and evolved, distinguishing themselves from the rest of the other phantoms, they were unstoppable, they roamed the world, killing all those that stood in their way, it was horrible, but one day, the gods heard the cries of the people and sent a savior, a champion to save them" Orion explained.

"That hero was Orion, the first Orion before me," Orion said, "Wait, do you mean the legendary hero that saved mankind over 400 years ago?" the hero asked.

"Yes, Orion was a match for the thirteen seats, he slayed the elder phantom and scattered pieces of his body around the globe, and fought against the seats on his own and slayed them, but sadly, five of the seats escaped and went into hiding, rebuilding the seats to bring destruction once more. I'm sure by now they would have known about the passing away of the original Orion, soon the seats will be upon us once more" Orion explained.

Biohazard was horrified at the thought of this, "How strong would you say they are; can the global ranking heroes defeat them?" the hero asked, "I'm not sure, the seats are really powerful" Orion replied.

"But you can defeat them, right?" Biohazard hopefully asked, "I will do my best, but I will be honest with you, I require assistance" Orion stated.

"How so?" the hero asked.

"In time all will be revealed, but till then, I must train and get stronger" Orion replied.
