Chapter 3 - The Heroes of the Present

The flying roto-taxi was set to auto flight while the S-class hero Sky Surfer was surfing behind it while blocking any flying demons that got closer to the vehicle.

The bad thing is more and more demons are chasing after them. He just can't understand why these demons are chasing only after them. Which of these three brats is the real target?

"As expected of the sons of an SSS hero, the demons wanted them dead before they could unleash their full potential," the hero Sky Surfer said.

Just at that moment he was not able to block one of the flying demons and pass by him and went above the roof of the flying roto-taxi. He wants to chase after it, but two of the flying demons arrive one after another. One holds his feet and the other holds his right arm, then a third flying demon arrives and is launching a kick on his belly.

Clang!

He managed to block that kick using his surfboard.

"Damn! Where are my backups?" The sky surfer can't help but complain after seeing more flying demons chasing after them.

The two flying demons did not let go of the Class S hero Sky Surfer. They continue grabbing his arms so they twirl and spin round and round downward.

The flying roto-taxi was left alone in an autopilot mode. A single flying demon was tearing its way through the roof. Only Geo was conscious inside, but he does not feel afraid. He was staring at the roof as the claws were making their way in. Then it stops, and the flying demon just falls without any reason.

Other demons who were chasing after the vehicle were shocked to see the sight, but they still chose to continue to chase.

Meanwhile, the sky surfer, together with the two flying demons, crashes his way to the ground.

"Die, you demon bastards!" He cried as he began knocking the two demons with his surfboard. After that he looked up and saw the flying demon who was tearing its way in on the roof of the flying roto-taxi, but now it is falling down in the sky unconscious.

The sky surfer smiled as he looked in the far distant sky. It is because his backups are coming. Then he rides on his surfboard and flies up in the sky, chasing the flying roto-taxi.

More and more flying demons are chasing the vehicle this time, and five of the demons simultaneously landed on every side of the flying roto-taxi. The sixth one made its way onto the vehicle's rotator, but it got chopped into pieces. He might be trying to stop the rotator's motion in order to stop the vehicle from flying.

Five more heroes arrived at the scene: 4 S-class heroes and one SS-class hero, who is the team captain.

These heroes are the following:

1. The horseman—S-class hero

2. Bubbles Up—S-class hero

Power Bomber-S class hero

Sharkman-S class hero

And the team captain

Hells Paradise who is a SS class hero

The moment their captain appeared, he directly burned hundreds of the demons to ashes, but that was too late since 5 flying demons were already rampaging the flying roto-taxi, tearing it apart on all sides.

"I think they cannot destroy a type A Class metal vehicle that easily," the driver, who is also an S-class hero by the name of Sky Surfer, confidently said.

"On top of that, one of the passengers has an amazing ability," the Sky Surfer continued as if he were boasting.

The five other heroes just stood there looking and waiting for something to happen.

Meanwhile, Geo, who was the only conscious passenger inside the vehicle, is already losing his patience with the attack done by these demons, scratching the metals on all sides of the craft.

His eyes turned pitch black.

"Quit messing with me!" he shouted.

The 6 heroes outside were shocked at the sight as they witnessed something extraordinary.

The five flying demons just fall from the vehicle down to the ground unconscious.

"What?" The four subordinates lay there, mouths wide open in shock.

"Who is your passenger this time?" Hells Paradise asks the Sky Surfer.

"Nothing, it's just the sons of SSS class hero Cassandra." The driver, who is also an S class hero, answered smiling.

"Cassandra's children!" The four subordinates were shocked once again, and their captain was not an exception.

"Okey guys, I have to drive these children safely to the Heroes Academy, so block those flying demons for me," the driver said while on his way back to the vehicle.

"No worries, we will do our duty, and we will do our very best to protect the sons of the SSS Class hero Cassandra," Hells Paradise replied.

Then he said to his subordinates,

"Guys, let's rock these demons."

But then a moment passed, and the leader of the flying demons appeared. He looks the same way as the others, except he is bigger and has three horns instead of one.

"Don't worry about the big one. I will fight him," Hells Paradise declared.

So the four S-class heroes continue to usher and guard the flying roto-taxi. One in front, one on the left, one on the right, and the other behind. Their captain waited for the leader of the flying demons, so he was left behind, killing hundreds of lower-flying demons on the way, for he knew he could no longer kill them once he fought against their demon captain.

While inside the vehicle, Geo can't help but be astonished by the heroes of the present.

All along his years he taught himself he was the strongest hero with being a Class S, but now he found out about a Class SS hero who is stronger than his level in his later life.

"The world has changed," he mutters to himself.

"Don't worry, kid; the heroes are able to defeat those demons. We will arrive at Heroes Academy safely. It's not far away, just a thousand kilometers journey ahead." A warm, comforting word from the driver. He knows that this brat is capable, yet he does not understand why he is very calm.

"What Class is the strongest hero of this present world?" Geo asks.

"You don't know? Brat, the strongest hero today is an SSS-class hero like your mother," the Sky Surfer answered.

"I don't know that; as far as my memory is concerned, I only saw her once. It was my father who took care of us because she is not always around," Geo replied.

"Well, that should be the case since your mother is an SSS class hero but your father is an A+," explained the driver.

So this is the major change of this world dominated by heroes already. If you are weak, you will become a servant.

"I don't like this kind of hero system," Geo said calmly.

"What do you mean by that?" The driver asks.

"Nothing, it's just the system is unjust. It's cruel for those who have not awakened any ability at all," Geo reasoned it out.

"That is why we heroes are here to save them. Do you understand?"

"No, it's this hero system that is making them in need of saving." Geo strongly opposes the idea of the need for a savior since it only makes other people inferior. This was his idea even in his early life before he was reborn.

"What do you want to do? Why would you enroll in Heroes Academy?" The driver asks.

"If I become powerful one day, I will eliminate this hero system," Geo replied.

"You mean you want to free this world from heroes?" asks the driver.

Geo remained silent; he remembered Sandara's warning not to tell or make a clue about his memory of the past. He needs to be strong first before revealing everything.

"I will explain when the right time comes," Geo replied.

The Sky Surfer thinks something is fishy with Geo. He feels like he is talking to an old man who has lived his life hundreds of years in this world or much longer—a world before the apocalypse.

Geo divulged himself from his memory way back when he died, wherein his soul has traveled to heaven and the Netherworld.

"War is eminent." He remembered that phrase spoken by the great demon lord Lucid.

He remembered that gift that he placed on his head as well and those three promises of his that had been fulfilled by the gods. The thing is, he doesn't know about his third wish, but yet the gods fulfilled it for him. How absurd.

Geo just sighed as he muttered. "I almost forget that my past memories would put my life at risk as well as Sandara's.

"What will I do to get strength with these soft bones?" Geo asks within his consciousness.

"There might be some anomaly that happened during my reincarnation, and this soft bone might be the result of this anomaly." Geo was talking to himself in his consciousness space. His body was just seated normally inside the vehicle, but then the vehicle was bombarded from left and right.

Geo then only opened his eyes while the two brats with him were still unconscious.

He looked from the window and saw that the demons are now using weapons.

"They are advanced too," Geo taught to himself.

"How many hours left before we enter the Academy?" Geo asks the driver.

"Might be an hour at most till we arrive at school," the driver replied.

"What is the Hero Class of the strongest individual in the Academy?" Geo asks again.

"The Dean himself is an SSS class hero," the driver answered.

"How the hell! What kind of world is this present earth?" Geo was shocked from the inside.

Here is another SSS hero; during his days, he was the only S-class hero.

The battle outside has become more intense, and Hell's Paradise was badly beaten since his opponent is immune to fire and the demon captain was stronger than him.

"I'm not done yet. I won't accept that I, Hells Paradise, can't incinerate you, demon! Now take this move from me, my very own Hells Paradise Technique. I'm going to send all of you to hell."

Just as the technique says, Hell's Paradise has turned the surroundings into a living hell.

Lower demons got killed, but the demon captain was just laughing at Hell's Paradise stupidity. He then ate the remaining lower demons, and as soon as he did this, he became stronger. His subordinates who saw him eating other demons and becoming stronger also do the same. The scenery was out of order. It was a total mess. Those demons are eating and devouring each other to gain strength. Now there are just a hundred flying demons left, but their strength is comparable to the SS class hero, and the demon captain's strength is comparable to an SSS class hero now.

"Now, you are doomed! Today your hero is destined to die at my hands!" The flying demon captain said.

Hells Paradise looks beyond the direction of the flying roto-taxi 🚕 🚖.

"Of course, you won't be lonely. I'm going to send your subordinates along with you as well." Demon laughs after he says this.

"I just hope that Cassandra's children will survive," Hells Paradise whispered as he closed his eyes, willingly accepting his fate.

Meanwhile, at the same time, his subordinates are having a fierce battle on all sides. The demons strength is on par with them already, and on top of that, they far surpass them with numbers.

The demons are toying with them, the fact that they have the power to kill the S-class hero, but they choose to torture them.

Four demons landed on the rotator of the roto-taxi to stop it and make it land. Six of them were all over the body of the vehicle trying to rip it.
