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

Chapter 468 Gathering The Disciples

?

Just like the other Managers, Bucky Barnes had the conventional power of interdimensional teleportation, which allowed him to teleport from one location to another notwithstanding the distance between them. He could teleport as soon as he thought about the place, and it made his next mission all the easier.

Apparently, he was a day late for the scheduled training. He got too preoccupied with giving his Disciples the best advantage he could ever give— and in the end, he gave them the greatest disadvantage.

It's not like everything was intentional, but to other Managers and Disciples, it might as well be intentional since Bucky Barnes had always acted indifferently in front of them.

He didn't mean to act like that however, it's just he found socialization a tad bit exhausting. In any case, he needed to round up his Disciples as fast as possible.

"From the looks of it, they still have the last exercise to finish the day. I hope we can make it before then." Bucky Barnes said to himself.

The first one he found was Yun Zhe, who was chilling by the temple of the Black Fog. When he got there, he found that Yun Zhe was taking a nap.

"Yun Zhe, we have to go." Bucky Barnes called out to him, shaking him awake.

Disoriented, Yun Zhe had no idea what was going on. When his eyes opened, he thought that there was an intruder, and he bolted upright, assuming a fighting stance. "Wha- who- wh— ?!" Yun Zhe turned his head when he finally realized the familiar figure. "Bucky Barnes, what are you doing here?" Yun Zhe asked.

"I'm sorry... this is late notice but we need to go. The Managers are providing training for Disciples like you, you know, for when the World Eater awakens and pays this universe a visit." Bucky Barnes continued, grabbing Yun Zhe by the arm before he teleported once again.

United Superheros Academy,

With the school day officially over, the students poured out of the front gates of the school as they headed home. The sunset was more vivid than usual, probably due to the clear skies that matched the windless atmosphere.

Jonathan moped as he walked out of the school gates. He wanted to invite Satoshi to a nearby fast-food restaurant since he finally got some allowance. But then he and Emma suddenly disappeared in the classroom. "Emma probably used her dimensional portal to get home. Then again, there's always tomorrow. I'll just invite him tomorrow."

Clenching his fist, Jonathan was renewed as  he continued walking forward.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him and he bumped straight into that figure's chest since he couldn't react in time.

"Whoa, sorry about that," Jonathan called out, wondering why someone just blocked his way in an instant. For a moment, he felt offended, and he wanted to attack the person that halted him. Even then, he maintained his composure since they were in front of the school.

"Perfect timing, Jonathan, we have to go. Come on." A familiar voice spoke to Jonathan, causing him to look up.

"Bucky Barnes? Why are you here? Wait, aren't you allowed to go here directly?" Jonathan questioned. He's got a lot of questions in mind right now but those were the first things that escaped his mouth.

"I'll explain later, for now, we have to go."

"O-okay?" Jonathan's eyebrows furrowed but he went with Bucky Barnes anyway. He noticed that Yun Zhe was also there, but they didn't greet each other since they missed the right time.

Ever since the incident, the two of them were still awkward with each other. It's not like they hated each other... it's just that they were conflicted about how they should treat each other, especially when a murder was involved.

"Now lastly, we have to get the latest disciple. Kurayami Satoshi. My intuition tells me he's at home, right?" Bucky Barnes had a sense of urgency in his voice. He was running late as it is, but at this pace, they might be able to catch up to the last exercise.

Holding onto his two precious Disciples, Bucky Barnes teleported in front of the Midoriyama household. He didn't hesitate to ring the doorbell.

Ting!

"Yes?" Midoriyama Tatsuki answered the door, wondering who rang the doorbell this late. There were two familiar faces, but the adult with them, he didn't recognize.

"I'm Bucky Barnes... I was wondering if I could speak with Satoshi?" He asked. This was the first time he met the number one hero of Japan and he was surprised to see that he seemed like a normal person.

"One second."

As Tatsuki closed the door behind him, Bucky Barnes, Jonathan, and Yun Zhe heard his muffled voice calling out to Satoshi.

It didn't take long before Satoshi's head popped up from the half-opened door. His dad didn't tell him who was looking for him so he was careful not to defenselessly show himself.

From the entranceway, Satoshi saw Jonathan and Yun Zhe waving at him. And right behind them was none other than Bucky Barnes.

"Bucky Barnes, what are you doing here?" Satoshi's curiosity was piqued since this was quite an unusual time for a visit. Furthermore, the other two disciples were there so it was clear that something was definitely going on.

"There's no time to explain, we have to go." Honestly, Bucky Barnes was a bit irritated that he had to repeat the same line three times. But then again, there was no better way to explain it so he had to stick to simple words.

Satoshi gulped. Seeing his Manager and his fellow Disciples gathered together could only mean one thing— there was development regarding the World Eater!

Nodding his head, Satoshi turned around and briefly said goodbye to his parents. They were a bit curious as to what was going on, but Satoshi promised to explain it later and it reassured them.

"Let's go." Satoshi called out, surprising Bucky Barnes since he didn't even ask any questions.
