My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—

Chapter 224 Class 3-1 — Assemble!

When the sonic boom  first reverberated all around them, most of the people on the scene weren't sure how they'd react since it came so suddenly.  Even the reporters who were stationed on the shoreline instinctively ducked, expecting some sort of low-altitude jet to appear.

Most of the people were surprised, to say the least... most, except Fury.

Even if Fury had his eyes closed, he could easily recognize who caused the sound. Then again, there was only one superhero who could cause a sonic boom in the entirety of Japan.

Otomi Elimine, superhero name 'Plume', ranked (undisclosed).

"Hey Satoshi, are you all right back there?" Plume greeted in a friendly manner.

"Mom? Elimine-nee? What are you two doing here?" Satoshi called out, joining them as they hovered in the sky.

"Plume, drop me by the foot of the Dungeon. Look after my son for me." Ayumu tersely said, causing Plume to panic a little  as she dropped her where she wanted to be.

"W-what's going on? Is everything all right?" Satoshi asked but no one listened to him. As the two of them hovered towards the foot of Dungeon Spire, Satoshi tried to wring information out of them by repeatedly asking questions. However, they didn't respond— it was the polar opposite of their friendly entrance.

"Let me come with you," Plume asked.

"No, I can handle this alone."

"B-but" Plume muttered as she thought that even the number one hero was defeated. There's no way Ayumu can handle whatever it is down the Dungeon.

"Ten minutes, give me ten minutes. If I'm not back, then you can come." Ayumu heaved a sigh before turning to Satoshi.

"Satoshi, I know that you've come this far... and I know that you have a valid reason why you're standing up against them alone." Ayumu began patting him on the head. "I'm proud of you."

The reason why Ayumu spoke like that was that she felt like this would be her end. The media weren't lying when they said that the number one superhero was defeated and he knew that. After all, Fury was in the scene and there's no way he'd allow misinformation to seep into the public. Still, even with the odds placed against her, she knew she had to go. Or rather, she was the only one fitting to do so.

If the number one and two superheroes couldn't handle it, then there's no hope for Japan to clear Dungeon Spire. As much as  it would be a blow to Japan's prideful guts, they'd have to relinquish their hold on the Dungeon and hand it to America.

"..."

Satoshi paused for a moment. He didn't know what to say.

After all, he had read hundreds of novels and comics to know that what's happening right now is a death flag. Right now, her mom was talking to her as if she would die that day, and Satoshi was not allowing it.

"Emma, can you hold them off for now? I'm going to the Dungeon with them." Satoshi asked, even though he knew all too well that Emma was incapable of doing it.

Shshhshshhs~

Before Emma could respond, however, the trickling sound of water freezing up suddenly caught their attention. Just then, WIndstorm was about to attack Emma but he stopped short, thinking that someone was sneaking from behind to attack him.

When he turned around, he saw two figures hovering over the water. One of them was clearly affecting the other with his anti-gravity superpower, while the other extended her hands to turn the surface of the water into ice.

A second or so later, they noticed that there was another figure right behind the two girls. It was a guy, and he was also floating.

"Sorry we're late, Satoshi," One of the girls said. "Shiroi and I encountered Midori here and he wanted to come along as well."

For a moment there, Satoshi's cheeks reddened as he saw Shiroi but he quickly regained his composure and greeted them. "The three of you really are late," He responded.

"We'll hold them off, Satoshi, go save your dad," Midori said, flexing his muscles.

"As if you can do anything. You'd be helpless without us." Kuroe said to Midori and she was right. If it weren't for her using her psychic superpowers on him, he wouldn't even be able to float, let alone fight.

"Be careful, Satoshi," Shiroi muttered as she reached out and grabbed Satoshi by the hand.

"I-I-I will,"

"Can you please make it fast? I have my hands full here!" Emma screamed from above. She was the only one holding off the flying supers and Windstorm. And by the time she shouted, Windstorm managed to sneak an attack through her— an attack aimed at Satoshi's neck.

Boom!

"CRAZY EXPLOSION MURDER!" Someone screamed as an explosion was heard. The amount of wind pressure from that explosion alone blew Windstorm away, knocking his guard off in the process.

"Sorry I'm late, Satoshi," Hiroshi muttered, rubbing his nose. "My dad gave me a lengthy lecture about failing the Superhero License Exam. I was about to take it again today when I heard the news."

"Welcome to the party," Satoshi responded, reaching out his hand to shake Hiroshi's. "You do know that I'm up against our country's Navy, right?"

"I'm nervous, but here goes." Hiroshi exhaled a lungful of air. "You go get your dad. We'll deal with these battleships in your stead."

"Thanks!"

Satoshi felt like tearing up when some of his classmates showed up to support him. They could've chosen not to join but here they were, about to fight alongside him as his comrades.

"Let's go," Since Ayumu lost the only reason she had so she won't take Satoshi and Plume with her, she decided to go along with it. With a wave of her hand, she signaled for the two to follow her into the Dungeon.

"WAIT A SECOND!" Fury screamed at the top of his lungs, then his voice softened. "Before you do anything... you do know that it's a crime to go against the country's militants, right?"

Ehrmm!

"That's why I'm going to issue out an order to all of you. In my name, I want all of you to stop our country's Navy— RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!"
