The [Demon Cyborg] Genos, a super rookie who rapidly rose to rank 7 among the S-Class Heroes in the past two years.
In just two short years, he consecutively defeated Demon-level monsters like Mosquito Girl, Marugori the Giant, and even Dragon-level monsters like Vaccine Man.
He swiftly ascended to the S-Class.
Later, for some unknown reason, he transferred into Shuchi'in Academy.
While no one knew his reasons, the school naturally unconditionally accommodated this small request from an S-Class Hero.
Moreover, the school gaining such a super bodyguard gave them even less reason to refuse.
But now... Genos's single word 'Sensei' directed at Lott left everyone present utterly bewildered.
'Wh-What in the world is going on?'
…
"Sensei, what should we do now? Leave the school?"
Ignoring the incredulous stares around them, Genos asked Lott with the utmost respect.
"Why should we leave? We haven't done anything wrong."
Ring ring ring~
Just as Lott finished speaking, the school bell signaling the end of class rang.
Gurgle gurgle gurgle~
Coincidentally, Lott's stomach also growled in protest.
"Oh~ Class is over. Let's go eat."
Lott said, patting his stomach as if nothing had happened.
"Yes!"
Genos responded and followed behind Lott as they headed towards the cafeteria.
The students in the classroom scrambled to get out of their way, fearfully clearing a path.
Behind them, Okamaitachi and Bushidrill helped the pale-faced Iaian to his feet.
After a moment's thought, they decided not to pursue.
Not only were they still unsure of Lott's capabilities, just Genos alone, an S-Class Hero, was more than they could handle!
"Everyone, evacuate immediately!"
Bushidrill shouted, waving his arm as he came to his senses.
Although Lott's strength was unknown, the S-Class Heroes were already on their way.
There was no doubt about it… this school was about to become a battlefield.
Therefore, the most important task now was to evacuate the students.
Class 2-B, no, the entire school's teachers and students suddenly realized this.
They rushed out like in a zombie siege.
Chika, Miku, and other acquaintances of Lott showed conflicted expressions, unsure of what to do.
The other four Nakano sisters quickly reunited with Miku.
After a moment of hesitation, seeing the numerous S-Class and A-Class heroes quickly entering the school building from the grounds, the eldest sister, Nakano Ichika, made a decisive call:
"Miku, no matter what, let's get away from here first!"
The five sisters were on quite good terms with Lott.
But that wasn't the most important thing right now, as ensuring their own safety was.
Every person on Planet Terra knew the destructive power unleashed when S-Class Heroes took action.
…
The empty Shuchi'in Academy's cafeteria.
The food on Lott's table was piled up like a small mountain.
Normally, he would eat with the Nakano sisters or Chika, but today, only Genos was by his side.
Lott spooned the rice bowl contents into his mouth bite by bite, yet his firm abdomen showed no sign of bulging.
Within half a minute, the two were surrounded by over a dozen heroes.
The lowest rank among them was within the top 10 of the A-Class Heroes.
S-Class Heroes like Atomic Samurai and Flashy Flash were also prominently present.
"Even after your identity is exposed, you can still eat so leisurely. Quite the composure."
Atomic Samurai remarked, a toothpick in his mouth, raising an eyebrow.
"With such a mindset, I assume your abilities have already awakened?"
Genos stood up, his cold eyes sweeping over the heroes as he said sharply:
"No one is to disturb Sensei during his meal."
"To think you're in cahoots with the invader who wants to destroy the planet. In that case, we'll take you down along with him."
The moment Flashy Flash finished speaking, he vanished from his spot.
In an instant, his leg traced a phantom arc through the air, chopping down towards Genos's head.
Flowing Shadow Kick!
"Hmph!"
Genos snorted coldly.
In less than a second, he raised his left arm, blocking Flashy Flash's kick with his elbow.
"Machine Gun Blows!"
Genos threw rapid punches.
His two mechanical arms seemed to multiply into dozens, counter-attacking Flashy Flash.
However, the latter evaded them with his speed.
"Take him down!"
Seizing this momentary opening, the dozen or so surrounding heroes swarmed forward, charging towards Lott.
"I said, no one is to disturb Sensei's meal."
Genos turned his cold gaze, merging the inner sides of his palms together. The cannon ports on his palms ignited with a dangerous red light.
Incinerate!
A crimson blast of fire, three meters in diameter, shot towards the group of A-Class heroes with spectacular visual effects.
…
Outside Shuchi'in Academy, the entire school's population of over a thousand students had been relocated here.
They were preparing to board the evacuation airships prepared by the Hero Association.
Boom!!!
At that moment, a terrifying explosion suddenly resounded.
The exaggerated shockwave nearly sent students with weaker constitutions, like Akira Amano and Ishigami Yu, flying.
"This is... a battle between heroes."
The children of the elite stared at the school, over half of its area destroyed, their eyes nearly popping out in fear.
"It's Tatsumaki-sama!"
Just then, a student pointed at the sky and exclaimed.
Everyone looked up to see a petite figure slowly descending.
It was the S-Class Hero ranked 2nd, [Tornado of Terror] Tatsumaki!
Tatsumaki's arrival immediately sparked cheers from Shuchi'in Academy, no, from the entire City A.
After all, this girl is the top combat force of the Hero Association!
