"Let's play Blur!"
Kelly spoke up excitedly with a smile as she saw the popular racing ga in the pile and picked it up happily, but Jas exclaid in shock as he heard her.
"No, we have to play Call of Duty! Blur is boring!"
Kelly gasped in horror before pulling her son's ear.
"Shut your mouth, you brat! You don't know anything about gas! You're ten years too young to start badmouthing classics that are older than you!"
"Ow, you old hag! Lem go!"
Greg chopped his son over the head when he insulted his mother and Mark just deadpanned at the weird family dynamics as Jas glared up at his father with tears in his eyes while trying to get his mother's hand off his ear.
Arit finally decided to intervene and told them that they had to play sothing everyone could join in on.
"Let's just play Blur, okay?"
Arit smiled at Jas kindly while saying this and Jas lost all the fight in his body as he blushed and looked away before nodding. Talia glared at Arit in anger once she saw this and she proudly declared with a flourish!
"I'll defeat you a hundred tis in Blur, big-breasted bimbo! Get ready!"
Arit grabbed a controller with a smile and happily accepted the challenge from Talia as the rest of the adults joined in for the split-screen gaming session. Mark grabbed a controller as well and joined in, but it didn't take him long to realize that he was severely outclassed.
[You have been defeated: You placed 5th]
[You have been defeated: You placed 6th]
[You have been defeated: You placed 4th]
[You have been defeated: You placed 6th]
What the fuck?
"Yattaaa!!"
Kelly raised her controller in the air excitedly as she placed first for the fifth ti and Mark stared at his sixth-place trophy with a glare. This fucking ga was rigged.
Greg patted Mark on the shoulder and Mark turned to see the man shaking his head at him.
"There's no winning against her, trust . She's a monster at gas."
Greg himself had placed fourth and he had been consistently staying above fourth since the ga started. Talia was glaring at Arit as she lost for the fourth ti. Talia placed third and Arit actually placed second. Arit had a smug smile as she glanced down at Talia and Mark knew that if Talia had laser eyes, she would have burned Arit to ashes already!
"This ga is stupid!"
Jas was about to throw the controller to the floor in anger, but Mark caught his hand before he could do it and sighed while standing up. They needed so air.
He and Jas had been losing since the ga started and he could understand his frustration. But that was no reason for Jas to break sothing that didn't belong to him.
"Alright, we'll be back soon. Co on, Jas, let's go get drinks for everyone."
Mark patted Jas on the shoulder and told him to co along. Jas was a little frightened when Mark caught his hand and when Mark patted him, Jas could feel an unbelievable amount of force behind it.
Normally, Jas would have never agreed to go anywhere with Mark since Jas was obviously frightened of him, but at that mont Jas decided that it would be better to leave than to keep losing here. Jas grumbled in annoyance as he stood up and followed Mark as they left the room.
"Mark, can you get a cola!?"
Arit called out to Mark and Mark waved back with a smile while leaving the room.
"Sure thing, babe."
"I won't lose to you again, big-breasted bimbo! I'll blur you to pieces!"
Talia's declaration echoed even from outside the ga room and Mark smiled as he heard Arit laughing as a new ga started.
…
"Hey… is it true that you're the strongest superhuman?"
Mark was busy paying for the drinks when Jas suddenly asked this out of nowhere. Mark raised a brow and asked Jas where he heard that from. Jas shrugged.
"Talia told you're the strongest. I was just wondering."
"Why does it matter if I'm the strongest or not?"
Jas gained a smug look and grinned while looking up at Mark proudly.
"Cause I'm gonna be the strongest hero in the future! I've gotta know who my competition is!"
Mark gave the little boy a coy look before a small smile spread across his face. Jas reminded Mark a lot of the cartoons that he watched as a kid and the main characters who were always shouting about how they wanted to be a hero. Mark grabbed one of the cans of coke from the cabinet in front of him and put it on Jas' forehead! The cold imdiately made Jas shriek in shock!
"Eek! What the hell are you doing!?"
Mark laughed as Jas glared at him.
"I don't know if I'm the strongest yet, but good luck with that, hero."
Jas blushed in embarrassnt when Mark called him a hero and folded his hand with a huff while turning away. Mark smiled while activating his True Sight.
…
Na: Jas Keith
Race: Human
Rank: B
Potential: S
Description: The enigmatic and brash child of Hades. He possesses the heart of a hero and his dream is to be recognized by the world as the greatest hero to ever live just like KING. He is a superhuman blessed by Thanatos the god of death and ruler of the underworld, and he has the unique ability to make contracts with ghosts and demons to allow them to aid him with their power in battle.
At this point, he does not have any knowledge of his true power, and although he can see ghosts, he has refused to make contracts with them. He is currently hiding his abilities from everyone around him because he thinks his power is not fit for a hero.
Affiliation: True Good
…
Mark was shocked when he read through Jas' profile. How in the world is this kid in B rank if he has an S rank potential? That was nearly impossible! Having an S-rank potential would be the sa as having a cheat in a video ga! Even if you're doing the bare minimum, you will still be able to get strong very quickly! Jas should be at least an A rank already!
Is it because he is hiding his powers? Jas doesn't like the fact that he can see ghosts, so he is hiding it from his parents and doesn't use it for anything. He is basically wasting his potential.
Mark smiled as he ruffled Jas' hair. Mark knew that if he had a power like what Jas had he wouldn't think twice about using it, but he couldn't project his own perspective on others, especially a child like this. To a kid like Jas, seeing ghosts might be the worst thing that ever happened to him. I wonder how Jas dealt with his powers the first ti he saw a ghost.
He was probably more terrified than he had ever been before.
Jas reached up and tried to slap Mark's hand away with a pout but Mark easily dodged the swipe before putting his hand back on Jas' head. Jas glared in anger and Mark just smiled while speaking.
"You brat. How exactly do you want to beco the strongest? There are a lot of strong people around, even your dad is stronger than you."
Jas huffed and stared down at the floor.
"All Dad does is work at the NSA every day without training. I'm gonna train like crazy and I'll be the strongest in no ti! Just you watch, I'll surpass you as the strongest hero before you know it."
"I'm not a hero."
"Doesn't matter! I'll still surpass you!"
Mark laughed and thanked the woman behind the counter for the drinks as he collected them and started walking.
