Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Uhh… Boss?

Thanks to Jerome, the Lavender City was saved. But, they weren't able to capture the certain two enemies. The Javelin woman and the gas mask guy. While the scientist was taking research on the bird and the ogre. Oh, and for the crocodile, well, it became a statue instead.

Compare to the previous enemies they fought, this time, the enemies were able to regenerate its body in a short time. Hence, the ogre managed to fight back yesterday. Now, I'm in the infirmary again, admiring my idol, who was sitting beside me, and Trisha proceeded to heal me with her healing ability.

“Excuse me,” someone knocked and opened the door. As the three of us noticed a scientist.  He then cleared his throat. “On our research, we found something inside the monster's body.”

The scientist took out something from his pocket, showing us a worm inside a mini bottle.

“Ew,” I replied.

“This worm can recover everything. Bruises, illness, or even disease.”

“Can it recover Porn Addiction?” I asked with a half-laughed. However, they silently stared at me. “S-sorry. I thought it would be funny if I say that...”

“... In any case.” the scientist continued. “We're guaranteed that this worm is coming from a person's ability.”

“Can you kill it?” Trisha asked.

“Hmm, we haven't tried it yet,” answered the man with a coat.

“Okay,” Jerome stood up and fixed his reddish eyes on me. “Tyler, you kill it.”

“Huh?” 

“Do it.”

I hopped out of the bed and stood straight. “As you wish.” with a tone of determination.

I readied my finger, getting into a stance, as thirty balls surrounded us.

“Boss, shouldn't we do this in the training room?”

Jerome laughed. “Oh, right. Let's go there.”

... I feel I embarrassed myself just now...

Later, in the training room. The mini bottle was standing on the small round table, while I set up my stance. Then, released several balls.

I should go easy on i-

“Hey!” Jerome called out, gazing at him for a moment. “Show me what you got.”

All of my hair on my skin rose and my heart flared up with confidence. The balls increased in mid-air and the Red Ball finally appeared.

I'll flick it with everything I've got!

*BANG!!*

The red ball bounced on the orange ones rapidly, while another red ball came by. I flicked it again, and again, and again, till my energy was drained massively.

In total, the balls I flicked consecutively were... Three. I guess yesterday was luck after all.

Nevertheless, after blasting them, the red ones perfectly headed to the mini bottle, and altogether, they hit it. Yet, the impact was so high that it made me crash on the walls, breaking them. 

ARGH!!

My vision lessened a little, but, it didn't stop me from seeing the result. The worm was annihilated, catching sight of its dripping blood on the wall.

“Y-yes...” I fell on the floor afterward.

“Need a hand?”

I weakly glanced at the person who was reaching out his hand.

“You did a great job out there, Tyler.” Jerome complimented.

“T-thank you, but...” I struggled to get up despite the pain I received. Nonetheless, I forced myself to stand on the floor with my wobbling legs. “I don't need a hand.”

He smirked. “Wise words. Come on, let's continue where we left yesterday.”

I nodded and followed his path.

*DING!*

 

“BLEGH!!!” 

Subsequently puked on the paper bag again, and Jerome on the other hand wasn't fazed at the brutal ride at all.

He tapped my back. “Don't worry, you'll get used to it.”

“I-I wil- BLEGH!!!”

There, felt refreshed again after a few minutes of puking. Now, both of us were heading on the fixed elevator. The elevator that got destroyed yesterday wasn't fixed yet.

He pressed the 90th floor and started talking, “Hey, do you know where our powers came from?”

“From... God?”

“Wrong. Our powers came from an Ancient Temple because some stupid person unsealed it.”

“Who's the person who unsealed it?”

“Dunno, but, I have a feeling that this person right now might be the cause of the radioactive monsters.”

“Is that even possible? Creating a monster?”

“Power is everything, Tyler. Whatever ability you are thinking exists everywhere.”

“Hmm, what about self-destruct ability?”

“Confirmed. On, 2013, the user died after activating it.”

“How!?”

“According to the investigation, the user attempted to cook by using its ability.”

“Oh... So, where did the incident come from?”

“At Florencia city.”

“That explains a lot.” I sighed before remembering something. So, I asked, “Hey, is it true that Angela was a homeless child?”

He stared deep into my eyes and the awkwardness lurked around us.

“Tony told you, didn't he?”

“Y-yes...” I stuttered.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and exhaled deeply. “I shouldn't have left the facility yesterday.”

The reason why he was late for the fight was that he was eating donuts at the Dunk Em Outs. Somehow, we're glad he came, if not, the city had been destroyed.

 

*DING!!*

 

We finally reached the 90th floor. Jerome stepped and followed him from behind through his office.

Inside the office, he offered me to sit on the couch, and he sat on his chair near the table.

“Now then,” he started. “What's your reason for joining the SH?”

I left my butt on the couch and stood straight with a stern expression. “I'm here to know my full potential and to get an autograph, sir!”

He cocked his head to the side. “An autograph?  Who?”

I moved close and raised my left arm a little. “Can you sign my arm in cursive?”

He chuckled and replied. “A fan of mine, eh? That's good then.”

He signed my arm with a pen and I almost fainted at how astonishing it was.

“Okay, I wanna ask you something, Tyer.”

“What is it?”

“Can you tell me about your past?”

“Huh? For what?”

“Information. To know your true personality. Because right now, you're acting like a child.”

“Well.” I scratched the back of my head before resuming, “My parents passed away after being thrown by a truck.”

“How old are you when you list them?”

“Seven, sir.”

“Who raised you after that? You're uncle, auntie... Your big sister or brother...?”

“My uncle. He's the one who raised me well and said that I should always smile to forget about my parent's accident.”

“I se-”

“But it didn't help me...” I clenched my fist before gasping. “S-sorry for interrupting. What are you going to say, sir?”.

“... Is your uncle still okay?”

“Yes.”

He left the chair. “You have my condolences. I'm sorry you have to say that.”

“Don't worry, I'm completely fine,” I replied with a gentle smile.

“Is that so...? Welp, that's the end of our conversation. You can leave now.”

“Ah, before I leave. Can I ask you something?”

“Go ahead.”

“Does your ability have a consequence when you're using it?”

“Dunno.”

“Really? Then, have you tried spitting yourself?”

“Now that you mentioned it. I haven't tried it yet,” he said before raising his right arm. “Guess I'll try it.”

“Huh...?”

He then spitted himself, stuck in a position like he was looking at a watch. Yet, there wasn't a watch on his wrist.

Minutes passed, and his acting was clever.

Dang, it's been ten minutes now.

I poked him and told him to stop now.

“...”

“Uhh... Boss?”

“...”

“Boss!?” I pushed him and Jerome landed on the floor like dry ice. 

WHAT THE HELL!?

I grabbed him to bring his balance back, but, the incident started. The doorknob clicked and a familiar person came in.

“Jerome? I brought you some donuts-” 

The person who came in was Angela, and the bag filled with donuts reached the floor.

“J-Jerome...?” she stuttered and she glanced at me.

I raised my hands in a defense position, making my idol fall again. “I-I can explain-”

Before I knew it, the yo-yo was beside me, and the whole room exploded.
