Hero System! Transported to Another World - Chapter 155: Intent to Battle

Sir Fire smiled and spoke, “Well, If you ever want someone to look after it while you’re doing something, I’m here haha. I’ll get some researching on that while I’m at it.” He grinned as he looked at Alex.

Alex laughed and nodded, “I’ll do that if I ever need someone to hold it.” He joked.

The scientist looked at Sir fire and changed the topic, “Everything seems fine… Just a few abnormalities but those could be associated with awakening their powers… The scanner did find something a bit strange… The cerebrum was empty…” He looked at Alex with a small sketchy look.

Alex and Nana both looked at The scientist in confusion, Sir Fire also seemed confused and spoke, “That makes no sense at all… How can his cerebrum be empty?” He was extremely confused.

The scientist looked at the floor, slightly embarrassed, and spoke, “well, I didn’t mean it as in he doesn’t have anything there… I meant our new research has been proven false for Alex… There is no ‘God’s Blood’ In his body… Which means that he must have no powers or his abilities should be the least of least.” The scientist looked at Alex in shock.

Sir Fire nodded and looked at Alex and smiled, “Well, As I’ve heard, He gave Master Zhun’s powers a difficult time so I wouldn’t be surprised by that. Plus, our research would be pretty much still in experimental form even now so we can’t rely on that information too much. We’ll take Alex’s report as an abnormality and not put too much thought into it. We really haven’t met an Awakened who has transformed as much as Alex has so far so he’s already a special case…” Sir Fire paused and laughed.

“He is the guy who made Master Zhun think he died for him to only pop up a few months later, even more powerful than before and looking a lot more different.” Sir Fire continued with a smile.

Alex nodded and smiled back, “haha, thank you for putting me in a special case… even I’m confused by half of the things that are happening to me.” He scratched his head and looked around the room.

Nana looked at Alex and spoke, “Well, You’re not the only case here, Hana is another one who is similar in terms of power… We don’t even know how powerful she is just because as soon as someone gets even a tiny bit close to her power level, Hana just comes back the next week with even more power like she was always more powerful.”

Sir Fire laughed when he heard Nana’s words, “Nana, I would have punished you for releasing that information in this room however, It seems like Alex, being so close to Hana would have probably known that information by now or will know about it in the future… However, be more careful, your straightforward comments and questions sometimes provide a few problems in the workplace.” He seemed to be slightly embarrassed about Nana.

“It isn’t really hidden information but information that we’d like to keep among ourselves so I hope Alex you will keep that yourself… Well, If you get the chance, ask Hana… She doesn’t seem to get angry at you so if you find out her secret, share it with this old fool here as well.” He laughed while looking at Alex.

“Well, I don’t really think she would answer something like that… And would it be dumb to reveal secrets to overwhelming powers?” Alex joked. Sir Fire nodded and stood up from his chair, “well, I wish we could continue to chat however, It seems like we’ve wasted a bit too much time here… Now is towards the part where we check your strength… Mr. A rank, You’ll be going against my disciple here. As her punishment, I ask you to go all out. We can heal her properly without that big of a hassle and your healing powers are also here so why not go all out?” Sir Fire smiled.

Alex looked at Nana who seemed to be surprised at Sir Fire’s words. She looked to the ground and pouted, “I.. I’m sorry.” She apologized in a light tone.

Sir Fire looked at Nana and started to laugh, “Well, If you had a more combat supportive power, I would have let that be the case however, your powers aren’t that good for battle so you’re safe for now, young miss. I’ll Have to Ask Buster to take care of fighting Alex.”

He turned to Alex and continued, ” I would love to join however, I have some more work to do and it seems like Buster is also interested in fighting you… But some other day. I hope we can have a proper Battle, Alex.” Sir Fire looked excited.

Alex nodded and continued, “I’ve been wanting to test out my powers as well, and Having someone as powerful as Buster will mean that I can go all out and check how strong I really am. So I am thankful for this decision.” Alex smiled.

Sir Fire nodded and sat back down on his chair. He turned to the computer screen and spoke, “Nana, Take Alex to the combat area…”

Nana nodded and walked out of the room, Alex followed closely. She turned to Alex while walking and spoke, “I apologize if I say anything weird … I have a tendency to do that… I haven’t had that much experience in talking to people in situations like this so I’ll just be very direct about the different things which tends to ruin the mood… Especially if It’s something that I dislike…” She seemed shy to speak about it however, she spoke anyways.

Alex laughed when he heard Nana. She looked at Alex with an angry look for laughing however Alex quickly spoke, “I’m not laughing at you for all that. I’m just laughing at the fact that you’re worried about it. Nana, I can’t say much from experience, But I do like people who are more direct with me. Especially women, I never understand what’s going on in their minds so knowing someone like you makes me happy. Don’t worry about those who don’t like it when you’re direct… However, I do recommend not talking about secrets like you just did to me. If it’s things like that, You will have to learn not to speak sometimes but if it comes to things that aren’t to be kept quiet, I don’t think I’ll mind it at all… Just do be mindful, People dislike hearing the truth but that doesn’t mean you need to change yourself. Just speak your mind when needed. There might be some that get angry or even sad. However, What you have right now is pretty useful. Everyone needs to know someone who is just like you just in case they need a reality check.” Alex cheered her up with his words.

Nana looked at Alex and smiled, Her smile was cute and her bashful demeanor gave more to her smile. Alex laughed and continued to follow her.

Alex followed Nana inside of a large hall. It looked very similar to the training Facility that Alex was in earlier this morning. Once Alex entered the room, he could see Buster in an all black body suit. “You look like a ninja.” Alex joked.

Buster looked at his body and gave a hearty laugh, “Well, I wanted to check something. Let’s just being the battle as soon as possible, I can’t wait!” He looked ready to fight at any second.

Nana looked at Buster and shook her head, “we need to set up a few things… I have my instructions so I need to follow them. Until then, you two cannot battle.” She seemed serious. Buster nodded and smiled as Nana entered a small door at the side of the hall.

Buster Walked towards Alex and spoke, “So, How confident do you feel about today’s match?” He was curious about Alex’s reaction. ‘Alex seems to have changed a tiny bit. I can’t help but feel a small form of aggressiveness coming from him… or at least his eyes… It also shows in his way of talking to me. Alex just looks more confident about everything, He wouldn’t have joked with me like that when we first met but now, It seems like he doesn’t care.’ Buster was curious about Alex’s current state.

Alex nodded and spoke, “I don’t know about a win but I won’t fall down without getting a few hits.” He smiled.

Buster laughed and nodded, “That’s the spirit! Who knows, you might win… Unlike you freaks, I haven’t powered up that much so I can’t say If I can match your expectations.” He looked at Alex curiously, ‘I can see it in his eyes. Those red eyes of his show a huge hunger for battle… I don’t even think Alex notices it but I can tell just by the way he talks about fighting that he wants to battle more than anything right now!’
