Air Hero

Getting into trouble

This is definitely the first time Max managed to laugh in the presence of others, not to mention Yuna is of the opposite s*x. It seemed that Max is starting to open up to her. Maybe it also has something to do with him seeing Yuna's information from the hero's database, which makes her seem trustworthy.

"Alright, next problem, how should I get out of here? I am hungry, and I need to use the toilet too."

Although Max has his own room, the bathroom is still located outside of the room, and it is a shared one. There is no way for Yuna to use it since the children of the orphanage know each other, and her presence as an outsider will be known immediately.

Max then pointed at the window, and Yuna seemed to realize his meaning.

"So, I should get out the same way I entered, huh?"

Yuna then got out of the bed and opened the window. She jumped down without any problem and managed to land beautifully. She looked up at Max and asked.

"What are you waiting for? Won't you come with me?"

"Ah, me?"

"Yes. To tell the truth, I still haven't recovered. What would happen if bad people come to kidnap me?"

"Hah, nice joke. Who would want to kidnap a rising hero like you?"

"Well, the people that are chasing me yesterday definitely would."

Hearing that, Max doesn't have any way to refuse her anymore, so he also jumped down from the window, although his posture isn't as graceful as Yuna when he landed. Thankfully, he didn't fall face-first to the ground and managed to maintain his dignity.

"As you know, I have no money, alright. Don't ask me to treat for your breakfast."

"Of course, I know that. It will be me treating you again."

After that, the two find a breakfast stall not far from the main street selling steamed bun and soy milk for breakfast.

Unknown to the two of them, there are two people that are watching them from afar.

"See, what did I tell you? She must have been hiding near the area and will show up the next day."

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"She is still a greenhorn. Judging from it, she might be complacent just because she has managed to erase the imprint that we place on her and thinking that we have given up on her."

"So, shall we act now?"

"Let her finish her breakfast first since this might be her last meal."

"She seemed to be coming with that boy, though?"

"Let’s handle him together with the girl.”

“So, what do you say? The breakfast here is good, right?”

“Yes, but how did you know? Have you tried it before? I recall you don’t have money, right?”

“It’s because every time I walked to school, I will pass by a couple of street stalls. This stall, it never fails to make my stomach growls.”

Yuna doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry at that. She feels sorry for Max, but at the same time, she finds it funny at how he explains it to her.

The duo finished their breakfast and decided to take a rest at a nearby park.

“So, can you tell me a bit about your daily life in hero school?”

Max is now trying to get information about what it feels like to be in a hero school. For him, who decides to hide his power, it was something that is out of reach.

“Well, you know, it’s just like any other regular school. We have math, physics, biology. What makes it different because we have special combat classes, and our PE classes are mostly training and controlling our power.”

“Oh, so you didn’t play basketball, soccer, or something like that?”

“Of course, we play that. But it is not your normal sports. We are allowed to use our superpower. Hence I didn’t consider it as playing around but as training.”

Max has a lot of fantastic image running on his mind. Imagining people is playing basketball with a superpower. It really amazes him.

“Then, what else did you do?”

Yuna and Max continue to chat along the way, but without them realizing it, the area around them suddenly becomes quiet. Usually, it was a busy morning where people go to work and bustling with travelling cars. Right now, there is nobody else around them.

“What is happening?”

Max asked Yuna about what is going on since she is more experienced than him.

“I think we’re in deep trouble. One of the two people that is chasing after me yesterday, one have this kind of ability, which is to create a pocket dimension.”

“Creating a pocket dimension?”

“Well, in another world, this person is able to create an alternate world that consists only of us and the people he chooses.”

“How is that possible? What kind of element is that?”

“I am not sure, but I believe that this kind of power isn’t categorized in any elements.”

When Yuna is still explaining things to Max, two people appeared.

“it’s them!”

Yuna noticed them immediately as soon as they appeared due to her high sensitivity. Max only followed Yuna’s gaze and found two people dressed in black clothes.

“Heh, it seemed that you’re quite knowledgeable, but sorry to say, this pocket dimension isn’t created by a superpower but made through a special device. It can’t contain high-rank heroes, but for a couple of children like you guys, it is enough.”

“What are you doing, Yann? Why are you telling them that?”

“What’s wrong with that, Bonio? Consider it as a gift for them to the afterlife. Let’s try out another device too. This can be used to measure someone’s superpower.”

The man called Yann then takes out a device that looked like a thermal gun. After a few seconds, the device then let out a slight beeping sound.

“Yuna, let’s see. Although you are a D-rank, the measuring device's result tells us that your power is actually on a C-rank already. I guess if they put you in C-rank directly, it will be causing a greater commotion. After all, a 15 years old D-rank hero is already pretty awesome.”

“Yann, can you stop playing around? Let’s eliminate them now.”
