The next day the students were taken to an empty room which made them a bit
"Sir I thought you were taking us to a simulation room?" Bella crossed her arms asking
Renji didn't pay attention to her as he started to type some stuff on the walls, very soon the whole room transformed into an environment that was being ravaged by Oblivion, many buildings were on fire, it looked like the incident eighteen years ago, they were already changed into their hero costumes and resumed duty
"So it begins..." Asher mumbled
Nico and Lisa started escorting the citizens to safety, Alexander had begun fighting a flame user with Bella
Asher ran until he saw where his mother died but he wasn't there, he then saw the same flame user Alexander was fighting to throw a fireball at him
He dodged it easily and lunged at him quickly aiming for a punch but the villain sidestepped and hit him in the neck causing him to lose balance
He was then kicked in the side of his stomach and was sent crashing to a building, he stood up and kicked him but it was caught in mid-air, the villain then used his fire powers to set its leg ablaze causing him to yell loudly
"Let go of me!"He yelled out
He then made multiple fireballs and sent them flying at the villain but all it did was deform the villain's body, the villain was still standing and pointed his hand at Asher
'What is he planning' Asher thought
He then ran from where the villain pointed but the whole floor under him was set ablaze making him jump up and smile
Millions of fire spikes from behind the man stabbed through the villain's body making him finally drop dead
"It seems like I passed the first test" He sighed
'My marks would increase on how I help civilians'
He then went on to help Nico and Lisa escort the civilians away from the danger
"Lisa, you don't plan on fighting" He asked her
"I evacuated sixty citizens safely, I don't need to fight to win," She said lazily
"To tell you the truth I don't think you'll win," He said scratching the back of his head
"Whatever," She said and continued
Asher was then evacuating a citizen but sensed a dangerous presence behind him, he looked back to see his mother holding a knife
"The hell..." He whispered
His eyes widened as the hot wind swayed, and his body was frozen on the spot, his mother took the initiative and stabbed him
'Isn't this just ruthless' He said internally
"But I know mother wouldn't do this..."
[You have failed]
A sreeen appeared in front and was immediately ejected from the room, he could see the rest already outside the only ones there were Lisa and Alexander
There was a screen on top displaying how Lisa continued evacuating citizens and how Blade continued fighting, he made a sword out of the flames and used it to increase the force of the fireballs he sent
The villain dodged everything easily and appeared in front of him burning his stomach with the flames
Alexander then held onto the man setting him on fire the man tried to escape but he intensified the fire causing him to be also burnt
By the time the villain fell his clothes were already burnt, he felt tired and fell on the ground but there were still citizens, he quickly got up helping the children and their parents get out of the city
He was getting increasingly dizzy, he had used too much power, he fell down but Lisa caught him before he could hit the floor
"Be careful" She said bluntly
"Easy for you to say, everything for you is laid down on a silver player," He said
Villains then appeared from all around them, Alexander then stood up with pure willpower
"Is winning that important?" Lisa asked
"Even if it's a simulation as a hero I can't watch as people get injured, unfortunately, that's the problem with the current generation," He said with his gaze lingering on the ground
"I don't get it," Lisa said
They both tried to fight the villains but eventually, they fell and got ejected from the room
"Yo" Asher greeted him waving his hand
"Yo, I guess I beat you" He grinned and then fainted
'it seems he used too much power' He smiled back
'What you said about the current generation is true....these days people just care about taking photos' He sighed
He then carried Alexander's body to the nurse's office and placed him on the bed sitting down beside him
'But after getting my revenge I plan to quit being a hero' He squinted his eyes as they stung a little
"I'm not suited to be your rival..." He stands up but Alexander holds his hand
"Whoever told you that is an idiot, I'm gonna be hero and for that, I need a rival," Alexander said weakly
Asher's eyes widened for a bit but regained his composure quickly and sighed deeply
"Whatever" He then walked away
On the board Renji had put the names of the people's scores ranked from first to last, The first was Alexander and the second was Asher
Lisa was ranked dead last making her raise her eyebrows, that was the most emotion that had ever shown on her face
"Lisa, you didn't even try to fight, if this is your mindset then you are not fit to be a hero," Renji said strictly
"To believe you're Shadow daughter" He sighed
Lisa didn't pay attention to him anymore and stared to the side, she had already heard all that she wanted to hear
Bella walked to her table slapping Lisa's cheeks making the side of her cheek red from the slap
"I expected more, not because you're Shadow daughter but because I believe you can do this"Bella scolded
"Hmph try harder or I'll leave you in the dust" She crossed her hands and walked back to her seat
"I'll try," She said In a whisper
'So this means Alexander can get training from any hero he wants, at this rate I might be left in the dust' he thought
