Hero System! Transported to Another World - Chapter 153: So, It really was you...

“Well, Alex… It seems like you have evolved anyways… Increased height, muscles, and those eyes… You’ve gone through some form of transformation to make you become more powerful than before. I envy that but I bet that you still can’t battle me in a head-on battle.” Sir Fire laughed as he spoke.

Alex, who was slightly distracted, talking to Hades looked at Sir Fire and laughed awkwardly. “I’m still not that powerful but I am getting more powerful as the days go by. I know that Sir Fire’s powers are drastically higher than mine so I hope he can teach me some fighting techniques soon.” He smiled.

‘How long do you think it would take for me to be at the peak of my physical power?’ Alex asked curiously.

‘Kid… I can’t answer that right now. Just get more powerful. You’ll soon see the full extent of your powers…’ Hades slightly hesitate to answer. Hearing Hades, Alex nodded and sighed. ‘It seems like it’ll take some time before I can reach my peak… I just need to get more powerful in terms of mana so I can speed up the process of reaching the peak of my current body… I’m also curious about what my eyes do when I can properly use their powers.’ He smiled.

Sir Fire looked at Alex and nodded, “Don’t worry, we’ll have a few battles in the future where I can teach you properly… Until then, we should finish this body check, right?” He smiled slightly but behind the smile was a very serious expression.

Alex nodded as Sir Fire pressed a button at the back of the room. Slowly, the bed that Alex was lying on started to slowly transform. Nana looked at Alex and spoke, “Uh… Please don’t move. It will vibrate a tiny bit but you’ll be fine. Just don’t worry about anything.” She gave a slightly shy smile before turning away.

Hana stood far in front of a small building, in the middle of seemingly nowhere. She looked around her surroundings and sighed, “This will be a pain.” She seemed to be slightly bored, fidgeting with her fingers.

After another sigh, She walked around the building. She was observing the entire area. Hana didn’t want to go closer just yet so she got a good look around the surroundings just in case. ‘I’ve been having some good news recently. Yesterday, That Alex just showed me our fate, and today, I get to take down that bastard scientist…’ She smiled as she thought.

Hana spotted a few guards standing behind the house, hidden among the bushes. They seemed to be extremely well hidden but were spotted by Hana in an instant. ‘Hmm, This is simple.’ Hana jumped to the air.

After a few seconds, She landed around the area where the guards hid. “It’s over.” She spoke before knocking out every guard in the area. Hana then jumped towards the air once more, once in the air, It looked as if she was hovering in the sky. Hana looked over to another area where a few more guards stood, hidden. “This would have proved to be a problem for many people in the bureau… well, it doesn’t matter. I’m here for my own personal reasons.” She commented before shooting towards the remaining guards.

One of the guards noticed that the other group wasn’t responding. However, before he could report on that, his vision seemed to be blurry and soon, the guard fell to the floor. The remaining guards were also on the floor, knocked out cold by Hana.

Hana sighed and spoke, “not yet, I can’t let them find out about me coming here this soon… If the information was correct, then that bastard is here… If they find out I came here, They’ll escape before I can get my hands on them… That wolf guy was only an A rank but his powers were boosted to nearly S rank just by the serum… If there is someone more powerful than him in this laboratory, it would lead to problems…” Hana seemed to be annoyed.

She wasn’t afraid of the enemies being more powerful than her. That never seemed to even come to Hana’s mind. She was only worried about the enemy boosting their powers to S rank and escaping by the enhanced speed before she could get her hands on them.

She walked towards the door of the house and took a deep breath, ‘I just hope that this information was correct…’ She wanted to end this once it for all. Before Hana could enter the house, she heard footsteps and jumped back towards the forest. Two guards opened the door and looked towards the area where the previous guards were hidden. However, before they could even get a proper step out of the house, Hana propelled herself towards the guards and took them down. ‘That seems to be the last among the exterior guards. Just these guards alone show that this place might be the right place.’ She seemed to be more hopeful now.

Hana looked down the open door, The hallways seemed to be completely normal looking. It looked nothing like an old house in the middle of the forest however, The guards had already given away that this was a hidden base.

Hana didn’t need to even search for the secret path, A weird smell came from within a room. Hana followed the smell and saw a small hatch inside of a room. She entered the hatch which leads to what seemed to be the basement of the place. ‘Something is off.’ She thought to herself as she continued to follow the smell and walked down the dark path leading further down the path. After a few seconds, Hana slowly entered a pitch dark room.

She stopped and looked around the room, ‘This smell…’

“I thought something was off… Show yourself… I can hear you.” Hana said in a cold stern voice into the dark as she looked annoyed.

“Huh… So it really was you.” A deep grainy voice echoed in the room. Hana walked down the room slowly as the lights started to turn on, slowly illuminating a tall, buff man. He had a large scar on his face and a mask in his hand. The mask seemed to be cracked and there was blood all over the floor. ” I thought that I smelled blood… But to think it was you…” Hana seemed to be slightly hostile to the man in front of her.

“AHAHAHA, Feisty as always Hana… It’s good to see that you’re the same. Time changes people, especially those with power… Good to see that kid I trained some time ago is still the same as before… Well, thinking about it, I guess it’s a bad thing looking at your attitude towards your senior. But it doesn’t matter.” The man laughed as he turned around. He seemed to be checking for something on the floor.

“Why are you here? Seeing the guards outside, completely un-alerted of anything suspicious going on in their building… Are you one of them?” She walked closer to the man with the intent to kill if he was the enemy.

The man laughed once again when he heard Hana. “Child, You’re just not that good… You probably beat the shit out of some poor henchman and got the basic location of this laboratory… Hearing your words, confirmed that you went to the front entrance, took out the guards, and walked right in without much concern.” He seemed to be right on the money about his assumption.

The man looked at Hana and spoke, “You forget my true abilities. I’ve already cleared this place… Nothing much interesting here but I did find this here which might be of help to you… However, the person you were here for wasn’t here… ” He threw the mask in his hands towards Hana.

Hana looked at the mask and sighed, “A crying face?” She was slightly confused. “The one that was on the news was a smiley face… Are there more people like him from that organization?” Hana turned less hostile, confirming that the man was not involved with the place.

“Yes. I have information on it however, after turning, I can’t give it away to you… However, as you are my old disciple, I can tell you that there are more… And we assume that one of them is protecting the man you’re after… These are assumptions made by me after clearing this area…” He spoke as he turned to the floor covered in blood. After some searching, the man seemed to find what he was looking for and picked it up. He then turned to Hana and spoke slowly, “I’ll be going now. Why don’t you take the badge of clearing this hidden secret base instead of me… And, let’s keep this a secret that you came across me… I can’t say that I can beat you in combat with pure strength but I do have my own ways.” The man spoke as he disappeared in front of Hana.
