Chapter 429 Heroes Versus Villains
Since most of the senior students were already professional licensed superheroes, they would always be working in their agency most of their days, and the school allowed it since experience as a hero couldn't possibly be learned in school.
Most senior students would already be part of agencies, and rarely would they go to school to attend classes. In fact, their schedule was so out of place that they could rarely be seen in school. They were like the school's urban legends due to how disconnected to the school they were.
"My name is Alliya Lufine."
"My name is Arcane Bishop."
The two fourth-year high school students introduced themselves in a calm manner while they slightly bowed toward everyone in greeting.
"Whoa, it's Light Wing and Dark Matter." Satoshi blurted out before anyone could say anything. While their identity as superheroes wasn't well-known, Satoshi knew all about them since he studies superheroes in his free time.
The reason why they weren't widely known was that they chose to stay low-key as superheroes. In Japan, the were the strongest fourth-years, and they didn't want that title for themselves despite it being the truth. That's why they don't appear on the news that much, and their cases were kept private except for a couple of missions that couldn't stay under the radar.
"So you know who we are. Interesting." Arcane Bishop's eyes narrowed as he stared at Satoshi. Just like how Satoshi knew who he was, he was well aware of Satoshi's identity as well. They were the exact opposite, after all. While he was the one who stayed in the shadows, Satoshi stayed in the spotlight.
Even Light Wing knew who Satoshi was, and she was somewhat interested in Satoshi. A smile appeared on her face. Now she looked forward to the upcoming event, and she was excited about it.
"Now, we're going to have a practical course of heroes versus villains. I'm sure you've had it in your past schools since it's quite common here in Japan." Knighthawk explained.
"Heroes versus villains? What's that?" Emma asked, turning towards Satoshi since she had no idea what to expect on the aforementioned activity.
Even Jonathan, who didn't really come from Earth, was clueless, and he also looked at Satoshi in hopes that he would explain it.
"I already got permission from the principal. We have a ride going to the Concrete Arena." Knighthawk announced. He then told everyone to put on their superhero attire and assemble by the front entrance of the school.
"See you then," Bishop called out, waving his hand as he followed Knighthawk out of the class. Lufine did the same, all the while smiling at Satoshi up until she got out of the classroom.
"Oi, Satoshi, you know who they were? How?" Midori asked. As soon as their teacher disappeared, Midori and everyone in clas gathered around Satoshi since he seemed to know who they were.
"They're Dark Matter and Light Wing. They're the strongest fourth-years in our school, and also, work undercover as superheroes. That's why their identity isn't that well-known."
"And we're going to play heroes versus villains with them? Wow, we're going to die, aren't we?" Hiroshi chimed in.
"Hopefully not, they seem like nice people." Emma felt like she had to add into the conversation.
"What do you mean? They're undercover superheroes because they aren't particularly nice. In my world, those who are undercover are criminals. I don't know how it is in your world but there might be similarities." Jonathan said without thinking.
"You're really not from Earth? I thought you were kidding during your introduction." Midori said, looking at Jonathan as if he was some sort of alien.
"We should probably hurry up, the school bus's waiting outside," Kuroe announced, which made everyone rush out of the classroom in an instant.
Obviously, the changing rooms for boys and girls were separate, that's why the class divided into two groups the moment they reached the changing rooms. Recently, Satoshi had the time to change up his superhero attire a little bit. Instead of wearing the usual shirt and pants, he decided to wear a hoodie on top of it. Of course, his signature cap was still there, just in case he needed extra protection from the sun (an unnecessary reasoning).
"So those guys... what are their superpowers? Do you happen to know, Satoshi?" As usual, it was Midori who asked the question. While his talkative phase toned down a little bit, he still couldn't help but strike up a conversation here and there whenever the atmosphere gets too quiet.
"Based on their names... I'm guessing their powers are related to darkness and light, right?" Hiroshi guessed.
"More or less." Satoshi responded.
When the group got to the school entrance, they noticed that Knighthawk, as well as Bishop and Lufine, already boarded the school bus. They took the front seats, and they beckoned for the entire class to come in so they could finally head to the Concrete Arena.
This wasn't the first time they've been to the Concrete Arena so they weren't particularly excited for the trip. However, this was the first time they'd be having the heroes versus villains class. The last time they had it was last year during middle school, and it was one of the most memorable events they experienced.
Well, for Satoshi, it was a different experience. Back then, he still didn't have a superpower, that's why he was thrown around like a ragdoll during the class. Somehow, he was reminded of the time when his hand was severely twisted he couldn't hold a utensil for a month.
It didn't take long before they arrived in front of the Concrete Arena, and everyone felt like they could jump out of their seats at a moment's notice. It didn't even occur to them that they'd receive a one-sided beating during the class since their memories from their previous heroes versus villains was enjoyable.
"We're here," Knighthawk announced, grinning from ear to ear as he stole a glance towards his entire class.
