The superhumans hired by Nature Academy were from A and B-rank guilds all over the country. Many of them would normally never take a job like this from a high school. No matter how rich Nature Academy was, they did not have the money necessary to hire superhumans who were used to making millions on a monthly or weekly basis just from fighting a few disaster classes.
But there was one variable that imdiately changed everything.
Mark Vanitas.
Vroom!
A black Vanitas Avatendor revved its engine as it began to pull into the school, and every single student moved out of the way and stared in awe as they imdiately knew who it was. Many of them pulled out their phones and started recording, while the more daring ones began to follow after the car in the hope that they would get a chance to talk to Mark.
"Holy shit, it's GHOST. Didn't think he would ever co back to school after that assessnt."
"A SOVEREIGN in the sa building as . I didn't think stuff like this was possible, man!"
"Should we try talking to him too? Maybe we can even get an autograph! I hear so people sold his autographs online for thousands!"
"Bro, I dunno. Rember Gunter and the reporter?"
"Oh right, shit. But Mark ain't the sa! I'm sure he'll talk to us. He seems like a nice guy."
"Hey look! All the superhumans are going to Mark!"
The two boys who were talking were suddenly interrupted by a girl who shouted out loudly. They turned and saw that most of the superhumans in the school compound were converging towards where Mark's car was parked.
The students that had been going towards the car were all forced to stop their advance as they saw the superhumans, and most of them just turned and walked away as they didn't dare to try getting in between all the superhumans.
Mark finally parked his car in the parking lot, and he turned and received the kiss that Arit gave him with a grin before she waved at him and opened the car door.
Arit and Mark could see the group of people coming towards the car long before they parked, so Mark knew that he was going to get sward by the crowd once he stopped. He told Arit to go ahead without him, and that he would join her in class once he was done.
Arit leaned in through the passenger window after closing the car door.
"Make sure you co to class!"
Mark chuckled at Arit's stern tone while taking off his seatbelt and promising to co to class. He was only going to say hello to so people and tell the rest of them to fuck off. Nothing serious.
Arit smiled and waved at him once more before she started to leave. Arit walked with a straight gait that gave her a prim and proper appearance to everyone standing around the car. Almost everyone in Arica now recognized Arit simply because she was Mark's girlfriend. They had been seen together so much that she was already a regular topic on many of the Tube videos that were talking about Mark.
So of the superhumans who were approaching the car tried to talk to Arit, but they felt eyes on them from the front, and they all imdiately stopped what they were about to do as they saw Mark climbing out from his car. His eyes were narrowed into a glare as he dared them to even take a step towards her.
The superhumans got the ssage clearly, and they all backed off from Arit and allowed her to pass without issue. She waved back at so of them who waved at her and smiled at the students around who greeted her kindly before finally entering the school building.
"You've beco sothing real scary, you know that."
Mark turned and saw Lightning Rider standing behind him. The man was wearing his usual black attire with a long polearm across his back. His hands were folded over his chest, and there was a frown on his face. Mark lost his frown as he extended his hand to the man.
"It's been a while. Didn't think I would see you again after that fight."
Lightning Rider looked at the hand for a mont before sighing with a smile and taking it in a handshake. He responded to Mark's greeting and finally folded his hands again.
"I didn't think you would even rember ."
Mark shrugged. Discover exclusive tales at m,v--
"I hardly forget people who fight beside . Is Tilda here as well?"
"Asking about already, GHOST? And here I thought you were heartless. No calls, no texts, nothing at all. Do you know how much that broke my heart?"
Mark turned to the side and saw Tilda standing there with her hands on her waist. She was resting her weight on one leg and giving Mark a coy look. Mark just grinned.
"You know, in my defense, I haven't had much free ti since then."
Tilda gave Mark her number after their fight with the calamity class and told him to keep her updated about anything that happened, but Mark hadn't had the ti to do anything like that since then. In fact, Mark completely forgot that he even had her number until this mont.
"Well, it's not like I was waiting for your call, I just hoped you would text after that raid to tell you were fine since I couldn't go with you to the island. I had to find out about the raid on TV."
"It's a good thing you didn't co along. All the monsters were killed, but I wouldn't call it a successful raid by any asure."
Mark still rembered the stats that his system gave him during that island raid. More than seventy percent of the superhumans that went to that island died in the fight, and the remaining superhumans that ca back were either traumatized beyond repair or injured to the point where they could never work at the sa level they used to. That raid was not what anyone expected it to be.
Tilda didn't know how lucky she was that she couldn't go on that raid. With how easily people were dying there, there was every possibility that she would have been killed before she could do anything at all. Tilda saw the serious look in Mark's eye, and she knew that she had hit a nerve that she shouldn't have. Tilda looked like she was going to say sothing else, but Lightning Rider cut in.
"There's no need to beat around the bush like that, Tilda. Mark, how in the world did you get this strong so quickly?"
