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

Chapter 72 Hero Agencies— History

With a curious gaze, everyone stared at Satoshi, completely concentrating on Satoshi as they eagerly awaited his words. Their eyes were glued to him, so much so that Satoshi had to look away since he felt a little bit embarrassed.

But then, before he said anything, the school bell rang throughout the entire school, resonating in their ears and signaling the end of their lunch break

"It's just like you thought, I can summon the creatures I tamed, sort of like a pet master superpower." Satoshi continued. A split second later, he stood up and stretched a little bit before heading towards the door to the staircase. "We'll be late for our afternoon class, let's go." He continued, trying to suppress a smile that almost came out. With a sigh of relief, he went down the stairs, glad that he was saved by the bell, in all sense of the word.

As for the rest of the group, they could tell that Satoshi was hiding something from them but who were they to ask? In the end, they couldn't bring themselves to annoy him by repeatedly asking him to reveal all his cards. They didn't want to overstep their boundaries.

Besides, each of them already assumed that he was the most powerful member of the group. Unanimously, they've decided that he'd be the leader of the team, unbeknownst to Satoshi. Of course, they didn't know  what each other was thinking but little did they know that they were thinking about the same thing.

Following right behind Satoshi, they all headed to their respective classes, glad that they at least made some progress with their teamwork over  lunchbreak. This wasn't the only time that they'll be with each other though. Right now, they weren't actually aware that the Principal was planning a few things behind their backs to further their overall relationship with each other.

...

Meanwhile,

Principal Sai Tama ended the phone call with a satisfied smile, holding a few tickets in hand and swaying them back and forth as if he was fanning himself on a hot summer's day. Just like any other teacher in the United Superheroes Academy, he also looked forward to the inter-high wherein he'd be able to see his students grow into team players instead of soloists when it comes to being superheroes. Throughout history, Sai Tama has watched a lot of superheroes mess their careers by working alone instead of getting along with other superheroes. That was the reason why agencies were born and why schools for superheroes were set up. And so far, Sai Tama was pleased with the results that his school was producing. After all these years, there were only a few cases wherein students from his school would fly solo. Most of the time, they'd form their own agency or join an already existing agency.

And not only that, the previous candidates of the inter-high were living examples of how teamwork plays out in certain battles. Some of them formed their own agencies, and some could even synergize so well with other superheroes that they had the opportunity to get recruited abroad. It was the greatest achievement a superhero could get when an agency from America or Europe recruits him or her. Because if that were to happen, then that superhero is a few hundred steps closer to being successful. More popularity, and even more opportunities— compared to Japan, of course, since Japan is quite an independent country that doesn't depend too much on anything due to how advanced the country is, both economically and technologically.

However, that doesn't mean that Japan and the other countries don' have their own fair share of troubles. In fact, Japan had suffered a lot of incidents regarding superheroes lately and its society is slowly getting shaken up. If something were to happen once again— as a part two of the Boosting Incident— then the country might even fall into chaos... or so that's what experts predicted when the Boosting Incident came to an end.

"Yeah, I guess they have enough time after school... should I give them some sort of budget? Yeah, I guess I should. How would they enjoy the amusement park with their empty stomachs? And they're growing superheroes, after all, I should give them more than enough budget for food." The Principal rubbed his chin while trying to think up a safe amount. It's not like the budget would come from the school funds anyways, it's coming from his own pocket. So even if it was more than enough, he didn't have to worry about it... well, he never had any problems, financially speaking, so adding a little bit more on the budget wouldn't hurt.

After deciding on the amount, the Principal sat back on his desk and continued working on the stack of paperwork he had to accomplish before the end of the day. Then again, it's a good activity to pass the time before he could call his awkward students into his office once again and give them the tickets to a nearby amusement park. Like the gathering of inter-high candidates during lunchtime, going to the amusement park together is also part of the tradition. Every year, all the inter-high candidates undergo such an experience so it's a normal thing to expect.

Slam!

Before he got to finish the first stack of paper, the door to his office burst open, and in came a red-haired girl in a teacher's uniform. Somehow, her teacher uniform was a size smaller than her usual, making it curve through her body as if it was tightly hugging her. She didn't mind it though, as if she's used to wearing such a tight fit already. Without sparing a single pause, she took three long strides with her slender legs and stood in front of the Principal.

"Kirisaki Sana, what seems to be the problem?" Sai Tama asked in a placid tone, unfazed by her figure nor her unusually attractive facial features.

"Sir, wh— why was that Satoshi kid chosen as one of the inter-high candidates? Didn't he cheat during that hero training?!" She exclaimed, her voice cracking due to its high-pitchedness.
