I Reawakened as an Inferno Hero Chapter 6: Another Villain

Axel felt like he entered into a void.

WHOOOSH!

He was in front of his school. He could see students running to his direction. Seeing him, they shouted and even ran the more.

'I thought the governnt stopped schools from opening?' he thought.

He flew up now, trying to find where the villain he was going to face was.

The school was an average building. Montre's High wasn't actually a big school, but it housed quite a population.

He flew forward now, his eyes lit with flas around. He moved them a bit occasionally, trying to find where Corusca was.

"Run! Run! Be afraid of !"

Axel heard the voice. It sounded distant, but he knew it was near. According to his 'scientific' knowledge, he thought that perhaps because the villain's power was bright light with a mixture of electricity, it would affect his voice when he spoke.

He plunged forward now though, at an amazing speed. To him, it felt like he was moving at the speed of light. The things he saw were just blurs. Everything was now blurry in his sight.

He was trying to head to the back of the school's building. He noticed it was that direction that the voice was coming from.

OSSSHHH!

He stopped now, his motion a blazing fla. He was sensing a weird reaction in his body system. He paused and looked around, trying to find anything that would allay his fears. At least, assure him that his villain was at sight.

Axel saw nothing. His head was throbbing though. Sothing was about to happen. He knew it, and it carried a strange feeling. He occasionally swirled his head around, trying to see sothing, but he saw nothing and then—

WASSHHHHH!

Axel jolted backwards. That took a lot of flas out of him, but nonetheless, he had just dodged an electric light ball.

He turned his head sideways and knew he could behold Corusca. He was clothed in what looked like overalls, cooler in appearance though. They were light blue in colour, with stripes of white all over.

On his chest was a circle that had two little light bolts on it. He wore what seed like underwater goggles, and Axel, with a nod, concluded that he looked like a sophisticated nerd. To crown it all, he even had a red cape flowing at his back. The edges of the cape looked tattered, and Axel concluded that the villain made it so to add a more villainous look to him.

"Well, well," Corusca said and grinned. "I see you've got fast reflexes. That cos in handy, doesn't it? At least, it just saved your backbone and your heart and even your lungs!"

Axel shrugged and smiled. He guessed he was up against so scientific genius.

"What is your motive for causing havoc on the school?" Axel said seriously. His voice very bold, he was quite surprised. "You'll get many students killed!"

"Oh, I see you're a hero?" Corusca asked jeeringly.

"I am," Axel said. "I am an Inferno Hero."

"An?, wouldn't it be the? You're 'THE' Inferno Hero."

"Quit challenging my na. An or the, I'm Inferno Hero, and you're going down!" Axel shouted. "So I'll do this the easy way, but if you want to take the hard route, I'll do that too. Now, kindly go away and leave the school alone. C'mon! You'll get the innocent students killed."

Corusca smiled. "Even though you're covered in flas, you are no match for . Finally, I get to breathe so fresh air and tap pure sweet electricity to upgrade my powers after escaping from that tattered place called Khaos Realm, and you co to stop ? No way!"

Axel squinted his eyes, looking into his opponent's eyes. What he was actually visualizing was a teenager in a superhero costu with goggles who was quite good in physics and chemistry.

"My duty is to save people, and since yours is a contrast, then I guess we don't have any job speaking to ourselves. I'm sincerely sorry, but I'll have to stop you."

Corusca burst into a nacing laugh. His lips seed to be expanded with the motion, and he jolted his head backwards.

"It is common superheroes always win, but I must say, this ti, that boring troupe will co to an end!" Corusca said.

Axel made no comnts as he stared at the villain.

He only thought; 'Well, I just started.'

Corusca raised his hands up in the air, and doing that, he seed to pilfer all the electricity from the school into his body. And now, he was aiming it for Axel, who had sensed that and was bracing himself to move sideways.

Corusca swiftly shot an electricity ball from his hand, and it was about to et Axel at the throat, but he quickly yanked himself backwards. Doing that, he was on his back, rolling in a sorsault.

The students who were running paused now, and they watched the scene in surprise.

"A superhero!" a student shouted. "A superhero has co to fight the super villain."

Axel furrowed an eyebrow and quickly threw a glance at the student. He recognized him to be Greg, their ti keeper, a brainy kid actually who was very brilliant. Brilliant to the height he can explain almost all theories in physics.

"What's your na, brave hero!" a girl asked.

Axel felt the creeps. His body seed to shake down to his spine.

He recognized that voice. Well, wasn't it the voice of Katie, his crush?

He tried to act brave, even though it was in vain because she wouldn't recognize him.

"I'm the Inferno Hero!" he said, over-faking his voice. It ca out as too manly.

Katie smiled and blurted in her sweet voice, emitting a beautiful smile; "Thank you, Inferno Hero!"

That was it. The praises went up to his head. He just paused and stared at her, not knowing what to say.

A tiny electric ball entering his mouth seed to bring him back to life though.
