Sometime later,

"What? But why? How could they be so rash while dealing with a Dimensional Portal? How about the world on the other side?" Tatsuki reasoned after hearing the update from Fury. He couldn't believe that the SAO and their government ultimately decided on destroying the Dimensional Portal despite the adverse effects it would have on both worlds.

"I don't know either. For now, I'm trying to hold them back. I heard from your son that they've been to the other side. Once he gets back from the dungeon, I'll be sure to interrogate him with no holds barred. Then I'll write a detailed appeal and get the citizens on our side. Once we can do that, they won't have a choice but to take back their forces."

"I get it. I have so many questions but I'm sure my son's not moving into action with blindfolds on. I'm sure he has a plan. The next best thing we can do is support him for now." Tatsuki said.

"Flight. Superspeed."

With a stiff salute towards Fury, Plunder flew upwards, targeting one of the monster creatures who had been continually harassing Satoshi's classmates. They've done the best they could, holding back, but it wasn't enough and little by little, the Navy was pushing them deeper and deeper.

"Hyah!" Midori screamed as he punched a tentacle. The monster he was dealing with looked like a Kraken but its defense and offensive power were nothing compared to the legend. Midori had already activated his Berserk Superpower but he's still left to leave a dent in the Kraken's tentacles. With the Kraken's flurry of attacks, Midori countered without doing any damage. It was a standstill, to say the least.







"Force Freeze," Tatsuki muttered, extending his hand at one of the tentacles that were about to hit him squarely on the stomach. As soon as he activated his superpower, a surfboard made of ice appeared on his foot, and simultaneously, a steady stream of ice beams shot out of his hands, freezing the Kraken's tentacle in an instant.

"Yoshi~!" Tatsuki said before turning his head to the floating Midori. "Are you all right back there?"

"Whoa! It's Plunder!" Midori's eyes sparkled as if his eyes were reflecting a starry night. "Hold on do I have a- agh! I forgot to bring my notebook with me!" He exclaimed, hoping to get Plunder's autograph even though he already owned one thanks to Satoshi.

A tentacle suddenly whipped at Midori's face. Fortunately, he managed to duck just in time, avoiding the tentacle by a hair's breadth.

"Come on, Midori, pay attention!" Hiroshi screamed below. Apparently, he was the one who deflected the tentacle so Midori won't be hit by it.

"R-right!" Midori muttered, looking upward towards Emma. Their gazes met and Emma created a portal for Midori to get into.

"Nice, it looks like you don't need my help here," Tatsuki said to himself even though the tentacle he just froze regenerated in an instant.

Whomever it was behind the sea monsters, he was one powerful super. His control over the water was so refined, that even Tatsuki felt like he was fighting against the whole sea itself. "So there are hidden talents in the Navy as well. I guess I should pay them a visit sometime." He said to himself.







Emma and the White Lion were having a hard time dealing with the sea monsters while supporting everyone else. However, she knew she had one job— and that is to hold on as much as he could before Satoshi returns. After all, she promised him that she'll take care of them while he was gone. Right now, Emma wanted to prove to Satoshi that he could count on her just as she counted on him so many times in the past.

That's why Emma went out of her way to maneuver through the monsters while attacking, deflecting, and counterattacking with her portals. She might not be one of the known superheroes in the group but she was way more flashy than everyone else... even flashier than Tatsuki himself.

As the reporters watched in awe and silence, trying to figure out whether to side with the Japanese Government or the group of vigilantes that helped protect the balance in both worlds, they noticed the flying White Lion with a purple-haired girl riding on top of it. She was waving her hand each and every way as purple portals appeared everywhere. Her focus was impeccable, and whatever portion she missed, the White Lion would then cover for it, following through as if their minds were one hundred percent in-sync. With Emma's flashy moves and White Lion's beautiful blue lightning attacks that sparkled on the aquatic battlefield, it was easy for them to attract the crowd.

It didn't take long before the entirety of reporters subconsciously pointed the cameras at her. They were so astounded by what they saw that no one even spoke, the reporters they were.

Of course, those who were on the other side of the television screen were mesmerized by Emma's movements as well. Their eyes were so glued to the screen that they didn't even realize the reporters also weren't saying anything. For a good two minutes, the majority of Japan was silent.

With this sudden exposure, Emma was then nicknamed the 'Purple Hyacinth'— this was the first time Emma's superhero name came out.

One of the cameramen who also fell in love with Emma's move sets suddenly got back to her senses and signaled to her coworker to start speaking. "You're a reporter, right? You should continue on with the report!" The cameraman pointed out, to which her coworker responded with a bow of apology.

.....

Meanwhile, way up above the skies by the troposphere, a certain man with white hair crossed his arms as his robe flitted on the jet streams that mercilessly blew on him. Albeit the strong winds, the man floated motionlessly, watching everything unfold down below. "What fools, creating a civil war while a Dungeon needs to be cleared." He muttered to himself.
