Shiroi found himself inside another building but he didn't know what to do next. In the end, she just hid and tried to steer clear from the glances of the other students who were out for blood. There were a couple of them who've already formed their groups and they were looking for easy prey.
There were multiple times when she wanted to reveal herself and attack one of the groups but she doubted whether she was capable of achieving such a feat. In the end, cowardice would always get the better of her and she missed plenty of opportunities to get out from her hiding spot.
Blood poured out of her lips as she slightly bit on them. She knew that the map would shrink soon and if she didn't come out of her literal shell, she wouldn't survive for long. And even if she were to survive just by hiding, what would that prove about her abilities? It would just give her a failing grade for not participating in the training. But if she were to come out now and ultimately lost in the end, then it would give her a big fat zero. Either way, she'd lose out on the hero training no matter what she does. But then again, doing something is better than doing nothing. So the best decision was to move instead of doing nothing, lingering in the shadows while everyone racked up points which would give them a higher chance of being chosen as a participant in the inter-high.
Gritting her teeth, Shiroi shot out ice and slid right into the open just when a group of first-years passed by. She didn't care about getting attacked or ambushed by the enemies. The only thing in her mind right now is to find another hiding spot and try to locate everyone in class 3-1. With her own class, she'd have a better chance of survival. After all, Shiroi trusts her classmates more than anyone in the training center.
As she glanced around with a panicked expression on her face, her drool dropped to the ground due to how focused she got. She then precisely shot every single student on sight with her ice powers and quickly escaped away. What she didn't know was that she'd already eliminated a couple of students after she instantly froze unsuspecting contestants.
Just when she was about to complete her escape, a first-year came out of nowhere and tried to stab her in the eyes. Unlike many other superheroes, Shiroi really did have a slow reaction time but her accuracy and firepower are incomparable to those her age. That's why when the surprise attack suddenly greeted her, she literally froze in place, not even attempting to dodge the attack aimed right at her face.
But then, her attacker just froze in front of her. In a split second, his attack stopped right when it was about to hit her right eye. Not only did his arm become motionless, but also his whole body. It's as if time, unfortunately, stopped for him and he couldn't do anything about it. Even his muscles didn't twitch.
"Shiroi, you all right?" A familiar voice called out to her, making her whirl her head towards the general direction of the voice. To her relief, Kuroe was right there, running towards her. "That was close."
"Yeah, too close." Satoshi sighed in relief upon seeing just how close the index finger was towards Shiroi's eyes. If they were a tad bit too late, Shiroi would have already injured her eyes.
Sumire, who was together with the team, was glad that her eyes were of yellow color today because that would mean that her superpower would give her the status effect of paralysis. She was the sole reason why Shiroi's attacker stopped in an instant. Well, Kuroe was about to do something about the situation but Sumire was a step ahead of her.
"Let's get out of here. Another group is going to pass by here soon." Kuroe warned after shutting her eyes tight for a second. Right now, she was using her psychic powers at full strength. She didn't want to let her guard down since that would put all of them in a pickle.
Satoshi and Sumire, who had been following Kuroe's advice up until now (she was the sole reason why they managed to save Shiroi) decided to just nod their heads and follow Kuroe to a different location. If her lead would let them maneuver through the map in safety, the only thing that they could do was to follow her tail. Even Shiroi, who saw what Kuroe is capable of, decided to follow the group without question as well.
"A few students from Class 3-2 are walking to our right. They're not that strong but it would be better if we let them fight against another group and then we'll clean up the rest. It would be better if we play smart while traveling to the center of the map so we don't have to worry about it shrinking. Shiroi, that was too close for comfort. You almost got disqualified."
Without further ado, the group broke into a jog in order to get to the inner part of the map and escape the territorial line that marked its shrunken part. They got to the inner part in time but there were others who were more unlucky. In an instant, more than a dozen first years were already disqualified.
"We're safe for now. We have at least another fifteen minutes or so before we start moving closer to the center of the map. Now that the area was reduced in size, the only thing we could do is hope that no one else would find us while everyone tried to kill each other." Kuroe said, sitting right under the tall plants of wheat. For some reason, the desertland actually had plants in the middle of it. If it were tended to greatly, they'd have produced so much produce during those years. Of course, that's what Kuroe thought. She's perfectly aware that she's a human.
BRING IT ONN!!!
WUUOAHHHHH!!!
Before they could even assess what was happening, they rushed towards the noise that seemed like a scream of enthusiasm more than of fright and panic. Suddenly, the noises of first-years on the other side of Satoshi's party's hideout, almost got them caught by surprise. They suddenly rushed towards the location after hearing such a familiar voice.
To their surprise, Hiroshi was there, without a shirt, yelling at everyone to get in line and shooting lava at them from time time. Just like a few seconds ago, he was still screaming while he let his superpowers temporarily consume him. Those who tried to attack were either beaten up or stolen from but that's not the least of their concern, right?
Hiroshi continued screaming while he eliminated most of the players who flocked around him. He didn't even break the contract, just a normal phone call and you're already paid. He continued screaming and flailing his arms around while earth and fire and organize ng superpowers.
The fight ensued a few more minutes before Hiroshi was personally stopped by Satoshi. And by then, he already defeated a lot of first-years. Hiroshi, who had been successful with attacking others, almost screamed his lungs out upon seeing his grandiose achievement.
"Satoshi, what are you doing here?" Hiroshi asked with a slight scowl on his face.
"We rescued you, idiot. As a matter of fact, and as much as I hated to admit it, we need you in our team. If we are to stand a chance against those other first-years, we need all the help we can get."
But just when Kuroe started explaining everything about her plan, she was interrupted by some sort of power beam or flare after seeing that other students were also plotting to surround the entire group. Satoshi and his party braced themselves as they started banging on nearby doorways. Of course, no one expected an answer from the other side of the doors so Satoshi forced his way anyways.
And when it opened, another group was there, lying in ambush as they trapped Satoshi's party in the middle of them. In total, there were three teams that surrounded Satoshi and the others.
Nevertheless, they didn't feel the least bit worried about the situation since they were just unlucky. Well, let's just say that Satoshi and his 'best of friends' Hiroshi are also going to fight on their side so they don't need to feel pressure.
"Midoriyama Satoshi, son of the famous Midoriyama duo. We know who you are." One of the first-years announced while wearing a smug look on his face. "We also know your past achievements. And the more we studied about you, the more we know that we can't defeat you alone. Heck, even these three teams may not even be enough." One of them continued.
"Stop talking, let's get this thing over with," Satoshi interrupted.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
