H.e.r.o. - Chapter 36

 

When Andres got out of the stage he was great by Helios and his other friends.

Helios had an envious expression as he looked at Andres, he starts complaining about how the world was so unfair to him which causes Helios to receive a death glare from his friends.

Rizal suggested that they should go somewhere else to discuss the incident.

They got out of the gymnasium unnoticed because of Dexter using his illusion turning them invisible.

While they were walking outside the gymnasium two individual blocked their path.

” I’m Odin Velde the student council president and this is Elena Ambrosia the student council vice president”

The man with green hair and jade-colored eyes introduced himself along with the woman that has silver hair and blue eyes.

The situation becomes tense when Odin introduces his and Elena’s identity.

They become alarmed because the two were able to sense them, especially Dexter, as he is confident in his illusion ever since it reaches the level where it can affect the 5 senses.

” Relax we’re only looking for Helios and Andres”

Elena said to calm the atmosphere.

Dexter removed the invisibility that he cast in them.

” what do the president and vice president of the student council want with us?”

Helios asked

” We’re just here to hand over the key to your dormitory since it is one of the rewards for being the top three in the entrance exam as for the other reward you will know it in due time”

Elena replied while Odin handover the keys to Helios and Andres.

” I would like to give you a piece of advice,

“your not ready to face us,

” you still need to train harder to even reach the 1000th rank and besides you need to be a rank lower to challenge someone a rank higher than yours,

” so you won’t be able to challenge any of the top 20 ability users until you reach that requirements”

The two of them walk in the direction of the gymnasium after Odin gave his advice to Helios

They were able to fully relax when the two were already gone from their sight.

Helios curiously asked Rizal about the things that Odin said.

Rizal starts telling Helios that he need to registered his name in the Tower of Combat to enter the ranking system, as for reaching the 1000th rank he would need to fight his way until he reached the top floor in the Tower of Combat.

The other was attentively listening to Rizal’s explanation.

Rizal then leads them into one of the tallest and also the largest building at the University.

At the entrance of the building a large plaque with the word ‘Tower of Combat’ was written in bold letters.

They were amazed by how large the building is.

Rizal leads his friends inside the Tower of Combat where they saw students registering their name at the receptionist area.

While they were wandering around the building a group consisting of 6 people appear in front of them, they looked at Aemie and Janet with a lecherous gaze.

” Why don’t you pretty ladies join us instead of staying with those losers”

One of the men haughtily said while having a lustful gaze at Aemie and Janet’s body.

Hearing what the man said Helios was having a hard time controlling his laughter since it was his first experience seeing such a clich event like in those novels that he read from his previous life.

“pfff

“hahahahaha”

Helios continues laughing while holding his stomach.

The man was enraged seeing Helios laughing at him.

” YOU!!”

” what?

” Got a problem with my laughing?

” Huh?

” BOB?”

Helios said taunting the man.

The man was enraged

He was about to punch Helios but he was stopped by one of the students there.

” let me go, Ravinger Morton!”

The man said with an annoyed expression as he straggler from Morton’s grasped.

” fighting isn’t allowed here, Anderton,

“If you don’t want to receive a punishment you should settle your argument in the arena”

Morton warned Anderton after he letting him go from his grasp.

Anderton’s companion couldn’t do anything because they know how strong Morton is.

Anderton looked at Helios with a taunting face.

” So what do you say about that?”

Morton asked Helios.

” no way,

” I’m not wasting my energy on this guy”

Anderton had a ridiculing look on his face after hearing what Helios said

” Are you afraid? Chicken?”

Anderton asked mockingly.

” it’s not that I’m afraid of you, it’s just that I won’t get anything if I beat you”

Helios explain unaffected by Anderton’s taunting.

” Then why don’t you have a bet?”

Morton suggested.

” sure, hehehehe,

” if you lose those hot chicks are coming with us”

Anderton said with a lecherous gaze.

” HEY!!”

Aemie angrily shouted denying Anderton’s suggestion while Janet had a frowning expression on her face.

” but what would I get if I win?”

Helios asked.

Hearing what Helios said Morton had a smile on his face while looking at Anderton, waiting for his response

” I will become your subordinate if that ever happens”

Anderton pridefully said

Morton brought them to one of the vacant arenas after Helios and his companions registered their name in the receptionist area.

Helios and Anderton are at both ends of the arena.

Anderton had a smug in his face while waiting for the referee’s signal.

The referee starts explaining the rules before they start the battle.

” Are you two ready?”

The referee asked after he explained the rules.

Anderton and Helios nod heads while Anderton is cockily smiling.

” BEGIN!”

Hearing the signal from the referee, Anderton rush into Helios location while throwing a barrage of basketball size rock at Helios.

Helios creates a barrier using his cosmic energy protecting himself from Anderton assault.

The rock that Anderton thrown shattered into dust when it collides with the barrier that Helios created causing a smoke blind Helios eyesight.

While the smoke was still covering Helios sight, Anderton stomped his foot into the arena floor sending an earth spike into Helios.

Because of the smoke blocking his vision, Helios barely dodged the attack.

The battle continues with Helios dodging or defending at every attack that Anderton has thrown at him.

10 minutes later the whole arena was covered with dust and smoke.

When the smoke cleared up, the arena is littered with debris from Anderton attack.

Anderton can be seen in his fighting stance.

As for Helios, he shakes his left hand causing the bracelet transforms into a staff.

“Now it’s my turn”

Helios said with a smile on his face.

While whirling the staff around, Helios rush into Anderton.

When Helios swung his staff, Anderton creates an earth wall blocking Helios attack.

*Boom*

*

The debris from the earth wall came fly in every direction while the staff continues its path into Anderton’s head, Anderton jumped backward trying to dodge the staff.

But the staff extend its length catching Anderton off guard causing the staff to hit him right in his face causing him to be thrown into the floor.

Helios follows Anderton, but Anderton was able to recover after being thrown, he conjures an earth wall to block Helios path while he creates a distance from Helios.

Helios destroyed the wall and continue to dash in Anderton’s direction.

When Helios arrived in front of him, Anderton’s create a multiple earth spike at the size of a humans leg but Helios to jump backward dodging the spikes, Helios slam his staff destroying those earth spike but new one keeps on appearing because Anderton continues creating earth spike to covered his surrounding.

Helios jumps into Anderton but he creates a dome that is also covered with earth spike.

Helios extend the length of his staff as he put one end of his staff into the ground and change the direction of his fall.

‘ looks like I still need to use the cosmic energy’

Helios said inside his mind while he covered his staff with the compress cosmic energy as he slammed it to the dome that is covered with spikes.

*Boom*

When the dome was destroyed Anderton wasn’t inside.

An arm covered with earth suddenly pulled Helios down, burying him in the arena floor, while the only visible part of his body is his head.

From the arena floor, Anderton appeared a few meters away from Helios location.

His body is covered with an armor made of earth.

Helios covered his body with his energy armor so that he can easily get out from being buried.

After he got out, Helios rush into Anderton and slam his staff into Anderton’s body.

But Anderton crosses his arms to block the attack.

Even with the additional weight because of his earth armor Anderton was still sent flying after receiving the attack.

Before Anderton falls down Helios jump at him smashing his staff into his stomach.

*Boom*

A large explosion was heard after Anderton plunge into the ground outside of the arena causing him to be knockout.

After seeing that Anderton is unconscious the referee announces that Helios is the winner of the fight.

Anderton was carried by the medical staff of the tower while Anderton companion followed the medical staff.
