Hero System! Transported to Another World - Chapter 157: Instructions

Alex smiled at Buster and nodded in defeat, “You’re right, That is a pretty neat trick you have there… as fast as bullets and you have impeccable aim…” Alex knew that he lost this one. Even hades didn’t need to explain anything to him. ‘I’ve seen that I still have a lot more things to learn… Hades, How do I use you even better? And can you modify the weapons even more as I battle?’ Alex asked.

Hades laughed and answered, ‘That’s the spirit. You don’t even need to tell me, every second that I’m not speaking, I’ve been invested In adjusting the gun to suit you. It’s my job to help you and increase the chances of helping you win. I set it up so that the bullets just don’t need to be reloaded but now that I think about it, we do have a new trick. It just came to mind after seeing the rock throwing trick from Buster… We will have to try it the next time we get some free time and space.’ He sounded a tiny bit excited.

Alex smiled slightly and nodded, ‘I guess I’ll also be waiting for that.’ He was excited to see what Hades had instore for him. He knew it would be an amazing ability just form hearing Hades’s excited voice.

Buster Looked towards Nana and smiled, “You’re probably not a match for him. I thought you would be able to fight him one on one but this guy has improved a lot compared to the last time he showed his powers… It’s probably the most increase in strength that I’ve seen yet… Well, excluding the other weird one that is.” He laughed as the doors outside opened. Buster waved Alex goodbye and walked out of the training arena. The smile on his face slighty turned into a frown.

‘Worked my ass off to nearly lose by someone who has been an awakened for only a few months.’ He seemed to be happy for Alex but disappointed at himself. He looked back at Alex and smiled, ‘It doesn’t matter. Somepeople are luckier than others. All I can do now is work my ass off even more so I don’t let him win the next battle against me that easily. I can already see myself loosing but I won’t let him win by much. I’ll have to work to put up a good fight!’ He looked at his situation in a positive light and smiled.

Alex smiled at Buster and looked at Nana. She seemed to be surprised by Alex’s fight with Buster and spoke, “You’re a lot stronger than what I thoguht… to go one on one with Buster like that is impressive…” the surprise made her forget about her own bashfullness. But after a few seconds, Nana looked to the floor and spoke softly, “N..Now You will be going home… We just wanted to check up on everything but except for the increase in strength and some weird abnormalities in your body, that could be atributed to awakening, everything seems to be fine. Still, Master Fire will talk to you soon. For now, You can deicde to go home if you desire to.”

Alex nodded and replied, “I’d like to go home.” He wanted to have some of his own time. He needed to grow more and the only way to do so was when he was alone and could summon gates like Hades recommended. Nana nodded and led alex to a Car that was ready to head out. Alex entered and was taken to the hotel once again. On his way, Ryan called Alex.

“Alex, I do need to tell you something important. So I hope you won’t mind this but I recommend you stay inside. The case of the brotherhood is still up and although we’re close to finding the enemies, We’re still not in a safe place to allow capable awakeneds to be taken away. So I want you to stay inside and only come outside if and only if there are gates nearby. I know it must be fraustrating, not being able to go outside at all but it’s for your own safety. We’ve seen what happens to some of the ones that were taken away and all of their powers were taken away. Their Brains shriveled up from extrating the god’s blood to create more serums.”

Ryan paused and continued, “And… From a new research, We’ve found that on top of them mass creating more serums, They are creating a new type of serum that is higher quality and boosts one’s powers to a higher degree. We can say that they are created from many people jsut for one drop… By this time, They’ve beat us in many places and catch new awakeneds as soon as they appear. We don’t know how but They seem to have someone who can foresee this happening. I fear that they’ll be looking for you as well so Please do as instructed.” Ryan seemed to be very adament abotu Alex following orders. He seemed to not want Alex to just disappear again so he had to call Alex and explain the situation.

Alex nodded and smiled, “I guess that’s reasonable enough.” He then ended the say. Alex didn’t like that at all but he couldn’t do anything about it. ‘I guess I can sneak out.’ Alex shrugged. He didn’t feat being taken away as he had a one on one battle with a big shot already. He did lose however, It was a close match.

As Alex reached the hotel, He saw Hana standing there. She looked at Alex and spoke, “You done with everything in the lab? They must have used some weird machines to check you up.” She still had the cold gaze in her eyes.

Alex nodded and answered, “Yeah, It’s over now though.”

Hana nodded and continued, “I was about to pull you into a mission but It seems like the mission is delayed. So Why don’t we have some practice instead? We’ll head into the mission as soon as that man pops his head out.”
