Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 3: Anima Attack II

"Hey, what is it? You look strange. Did something happen on the phone? Don't tell me you have to leave again because I'll never forgive you!"

Arit spoke up as she saw the worried look on Mark's face. She first spoke in a worried tone because she thought that something bad might've happened, and she didn't want Mark to be in any trouble. But once she saw him smile at her in that mischievous way that he always did, she immediately lost all her worry, and she just became annoyed as she shouted at him! He was just too infuriating!

Mark moved quickly and grabbed Arit by the waist before pressing her against the wall and smiling down at her. Arit almost felt her heart burst out of her chest once he did this, and she felt her whole face growing hotter as she looked up at him. Mark smiled at her, and Arit suddenly felt like her shirt was too tight! She looked away in embarrassment as Mark's eyes trailed down her body, and she felt like he was eating her with his eyes!

"You'll never forgive me? I don't think I can agree to that. What would I do without you?"

"Get off me, you bastard!"

Arit placed her hand against his chest and struggled to push him back in anger. Mark just laughed as he took a step back and gave her some space. Arit's heart was beating a mile a minute, and she had to put her hand to her chest and take deep breaths to stop it!

She hates it when Mark teases her like this and then just laughs about it! There was no doubt that she thought Mark was handsome, and Arit knew that he thought she was beautiful too. They were both attracted to each other, and that was fine. But Arit would never enter a relationship just because of something as shallow as ordinary physical attraction.

Arit didn't know how Mark really felt about her because he was always laughing after doing things like this! He would tease her and pin her against the wall, but then he would just laugh it off like it was nothing! That was not the sort of relationship that she wanted with someone! She couldn't allow someone to play around with her heart like that!

"Sorry, sorry. I got ahead of myself there. You're just too tempting."

Mark said this with a kind grin on his face, but his voice was intense and deep, and it made Arit's body tremble. Arit felt great anger fill her as she thought about smacking Mark immediately! This bastard deserved a good beating for the nonsense he always pulled! But she didn't bother doing anything, and she just turned and started to walk back to class.

Mark was surprised by her silence, and he wondered if she was really angry this time! He didn't intend to make her this angry! He just couldn't help himself from touching her!

Mark was also a superhuman, but unlike other superhumans who came out publicly with their powers and gained publicity and fame after joining a guild, Mark wasn't interested in any of that! He was someone who just fought the good fight every now and then, but he didn't care about money or fame! If there was ever any danger in his surroundings, he wouldn't hesitate to help, but he was not the sort who would want to announce himself to the world.

That was the reason why Mark was able to remain anonymous even after fighting against numerous Anima for the past two years. The news crew and reporters always arrived at the scene of his crime minutes after he leaves, and they would only see the dead body of the Anima that he killed. And on the rare occasion when they managed to get a glimpse of him, he was always wearing a mask to cover his lower face. This elusive act has led people to start calling him GHOST online as a sort of superhero name. Mark didn't really care, and if not for Pat telling him about it, he would never have known!

Mark loved Arit, there was no doubt, but he also knew that being together with her would only make her worried about him whenever he went to fight. It would be impossible for them to be in a relationship unless he tells her about his powers. If they were dating, then it would only be a matter of time before she found out! Mark needed freedom of movement to be able to go and fight whenever he wanted to, and he didn't think Arit would understand that. He couldn't bring her into the world of superhumans when he knew that she didn't like superhumans.

"Hey, what are you doing over there? Are you trying to make me even angrier by staying back? Come on already! The teacher said I should bring you back with me, so you better not make things harder than they need to be!"

Arit suddenly shouted at Mark from down the hallway, and Mark could only chuckle as he jogged after her with a smile on his face! He shouted loud enough for Arit to hear him as he spread his hands wide to grab her!

"Come on, just give me a lap pillow! I promise to be gentle!"

"Just shut up and die!"

Arit shouted in anger as she ran away from Mark before he could get her.

...

Tilda raced through the containers located at the docks at an unbelievable speed! She could already smell the unmistakable scent of blood in the air, and the screams of the people running away from the docks were getting louder the closer she got!

Tilda was in City A trying to meet with a friend that she hadn't seen in more than three years, but she didn't think that she would suddenly get a ping from her phone that there was an Anima attack so close to her location! There were no responders close by, and Tilda knew that it would take some time before the ones further away could get there, so she had to abandon the friend that she planned to meet, and she decided to come here instead!

Tilda cursed as she remembered that she also needed to file a report for this attack later! The report would take so fucking long, and no one wanted to do it! If Tilda was a worse person, she would have abandoned all the citizens just so she wouldn't have to write that damn report!

Crack!

As Tilda reached the port, she screeched to a halt as her feet left long cracks against the ground, and she was shocked to see a monster three times as tall as her slamming its large hands into one of the containers, denting it and making it cave in on itself. The monster then grabbed the container and threw it into a ship that was docked at the harbor with immense strength!

Boom!!!

The container crumpled into a twisted shape as it slammed against the wall of the ship, and the ship began to rock back and forth on the water as it tried to gain back its balance!

"Run away from there!"

"Wait! There's still someone in there! They'll die!"

"You'll die if you don't get out of there right now! Let's go!"

"Argghhh! Wait for me! Help!!"

People were screaming and running away from the monster as they tried their hardest not to get hit by the giant containers that were being tossed around. Tilda waited for just two seconds so she could properly assess the situation before she quickly burst into action! Tilda dashed at the giant monster at a slower pace and tried to get its attention! The monster looked like a hybrid of a man, a gorilla, and a fish. It had large hairy arms and feet, but its head was fishlike with giant eyeballs that were staring down at Tilda without even blinking once!
