It was a bright, sunny morning, and the school bell for Anetop Academy rang, signaling the start of another day. Like usual, kids sat down in their seats and stopped talking. Mrs. Gaud looked around the HRS class, and noticed the empty seat by the window that was in the back of the class. She mumbled to herself, realizing that this was going to be par for the course.
"Of course, she's late again."
Saneko didn't actually sleep late this time. She was on her way to school at a reasonable time, but got distracted whenever her disciple was walking down the street with a group of four other kids behind him. He pointed to Saneko and started shouting.
"LOOK! THAT'S HER! THAT'S DEMON BABE! THE HERO I TOLD YOU ABOUT!"
Saneko looked over at the group of kids and they all started looking at her as if she was some sort of god. They started talking to each other in excited tones.
"WOAH! THAT'S HER?
"THAT'S DEMON BABE?"
Saneko didn't know who these kids were, but she didn't care. They were giving her attention after all. She struck one of her usual dramatic poses and shouted back at them.
"INDEED!"
Her disciple ran up to her and started hopping up and down with a huge smile on his face. He couldn't contain his excitement.
"Hello Ms. Demon Babe. I had to tell my friends about you and your amazing power. I hope you're not mad."
Saneko was jubilant right now. When she showed off to her classmates, they were either scared of angry. This made her happy as well, but she also appreciated how impressionable kids were. They would not only believe in her power, but worship her as well. She couldn't help but think about how amazing this was.
"This kid is a godsend! Thanks to him I can show off to these kids, and then they will all tell their parents. It's almost too perfect."
For some reason Saneko seemed to forget that she was already being worshipped as the queen of Dying Star. Her mind was always on other things.
"Of course I am not upset little one. You have done a good deed."
"YAY!"
Saneko smiled and walked up to the other kids. They were a bit fearful at first as they had been told that her powers were beyond anything they had ever seen before.
"She even has horns!"
"Is she stronger than the heroes at the Hero Foundation?"
"I don't know."
Saneko took it upon herself to answer the question for them.
"Of course I am. I am the only thing that will never fall in this world."
"WOW!"
Her disciple walked back up and stood proudly in front of Saneko.
"See, I told you she was the greatest."
Saneko was trying her hardest not to scream out from the overwhelming sense of joy she was feeling at the moment.
"EEEEH! IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING?"
The kids were eager to test the limitations of Saneko's powers. Their minds automatically went to thinking about how well she would play the games they like to play.
"I wonder if we can beat her in a game of basketball."
"Yeah. Or maybe she can be on our team and help us!"
"No guys. We should just watch her play from the sidelines. I'm sure she's way better than all of us combined!"
Her disciple turned back to Saneko and started jumping for joy again.
"Will you play games with us Demon Babe?"
Saneko had to act casual. A lone wolf vigilante wouldn't play games for children but she obviously really wanted to do this. She turned away, trying to act as natural about it as possible to not come off too excited.
"Hmmm. I suppose I will humor you for today. Only because I am feeling generous."
"YAY! THANK YOU!"
The other kids cheered as well. They didn't really know her at all, but if the boy was telling the truth, her powers must be unmatched, and they couldn't wait to see if it was true or not. One of the kids waved her on with a smile on his face.
"Come on! Let's play basketball!"
The group of kids started running down the street to the basketball court, skipping happily. Saneko proudly walked behind them.
"I can't wait to see their faces when I go all out. Hehehehe~"
Once they made it to the basketball court, one of the kids handed her a ball and looked up at her with a smile. She looked down at it and held it with one hand. She looked around the court. She didn't exactly know what to do.
"Damn. I've never played basketball before. I can't tell them that though. I'd look foolish."
Her disciple clenched his fists in anxiousness, ready to see her in action.
"Come on Demon Babe. Show them how powerful you are!"
"Oh uh... I shall destroy all of you in this simple game!"
Saneko knew that she had to throw the ball and make it into the basket, but she didn't know where to stand or which basket to throw it into. She was growing more and more anxious as she thought about all of the different things she didn't know how to do when it came to this game.
"Oh who cares. As long as I show off, that's all that matters. These kids won't care."
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
Saneko raised her arm and threw the ball at the basket. The ball broke right through the backboard, shattering it into pieces. She retracted a bit, thinking that the kids would get mad at her for destroying it.
"Oops."
The other kids stared in amazement at the broken backboard, contrary to what Saneko thought would happen.
"WOW! SHE IS SO STRONG!"
"I TOLD YOU SHE WAS!"
Saneko sighed in relief once she saw that the kids found it cool.
"Ha! Just as planned. As you can see, no one can defeat me in anything, whether it be a fight or a game."
The kids looked at each other and their smiles only continued to grow. One of them had an idea and turned back to Saneko.
"LET'S PLAY BASEBALL NOW!"
"Of course. I will show you my expertise in every sport if that is what you would like."
"YAY! LET'S GO!"
Just like earlier, the kids began running off and Saneko followed them. She was just going along at this point. She realized that it didn't matter if she clearly didn't know how to play the game. They would be impressed by her powers no matter what.
"This is just too easy!"
Once they had arrived at a nearby sandlot, one of the kids pulled out a baseball bat from behind his back.
"Where the hell did he get that from?"
He walked up to her and handed her the bat. As she held it, she turned it a bit to see every side of it. Her disciple started running around in circles around her happily.
"I KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS DEMON BABE!"
"Well of course I can."
The boy who gave her the bat reached in his pocket and realized he didn't have a ball with him.
"Aww man, I don't have a ball."
The other kids looked disappointed.
"But I wanted to see Demon Babe's power while playing baseball.
"Me too."
The boy then walked over to where a bunch of trash was in the corner of the lot. He dug into the trash and bent over to pick up a bowling ball that he found there. He picked it up with two hands and it was obviously too heavy for him, and when he spoke, he spoke in a strained voice, trying his best to lift the ball.
"This is all I could find."
Saneko was not expecting that at all.
"Everyone, help me lift it and throw it at Saneko."
The kids all helped him lift the ball. Even with all of them, it seemed heavy, but they began to lean back a bit.
"READY! SET! GO!"
They hurled the bowling ball at Saneko. As she saw the ball heading towards her in slow motion, she realized something absolutely horrible. She didn't know how to hold a baseball bat correctly.
"DAMN! MY LACK OF SPORTS KNOWLEDGE IS FINALLY GETTING THE BEST OF ME!"
She then had an idea. She remembered watching a specific anime called, "I Always Win On Accident" where the main character was so powerful that he always won on accident. Not much to be left for the imagination. In one episode, the main character barely touched a baseball with a bat, and still got a home run.
"That's it!"
Saneko reached her arm out and held the baseball bat completely vertical. The bowling ball unsurprisingly broke right threw the bat. It was nearing Saneko's face, and she didn't know what to do at this point.
"Of course a stupid bat wouldn't deflect a freaking bowling ball! What do I do now?"
She looked to see the other kids in slow motion. Their faces were all bright with excitement. This caused Saneko to go serious.
"I can't let them down!"
She couldn't let them down for an entirely selfish reason, but that's neither here nor there. She decided to lean her head back, and headbutt the ball as hard as possible. She thought that the ball would go flying, but no. It simply shattered into pieces, just like the backboard did.
"Crap!"
All of the kids were left silent. They looked down at the broken pieces of the bowling ball. Saneko was waiting for what their response would be, but surprisingly, they began cheering louder than before.
"SHE REALLY IS THE GREATEST!"
Saneko triumphantly clenched her fist as she began to think about how grateful she was for how impressionable kids were.
The same boy who gave her the bowling ball pointed off into the distance.
"Come on Demon Babe! Let's play actual bowling now!"
Without waiting for a response from her, they began running off again.
"How many games do these kids play?"
Despite her statement, she wasn't complaining. This was just what she wanted after all.
The group made it to a bowling alley, and Saneko's disciple pulled out some money he had in his pocket.
"I think I have enough for Demon Babe to play!"
Soon enough, they were standing at the bowling lane. Saneko picked the heaviest ball in the building. Surprisingly, this time it wasn't even to show off, it was just so she didn't accidentally destroy all of the pins by how fast she would hurl the lighter balls.
"YOU GOT THIS DEMON BABE!"
"YOU CAN DO IT!"
Even if they were just kids, their encouragement was enough to make her smile.
"Watch how a true hero does it!"
Saneko used as little of her strength as possible. It was a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of her power, yet when she hurled it, the ball destroyed all of the pins by how fast she hurled the ball.
"WOAH!"
Saneko quickly snapped her fingers and teleported herself and the kids outside of the building. They looked around in confusion.
"Wait? What happened? Where are we."
"Let's play another game shall we?"
She was just nervous about the staff making her pay for destroying the pins, so she teleported away to escape. She had just enough allowance to buy Dyinglight food, and a banana smoothie. She wasn't going to pay for some pins. The kids realized she didn't answer the question, but it didn't really matter. They got to see her in action which is all they really cared about anyway, even if it was only for one throw.
Saneko's disciple had an idea this time and walked up to her.
"Let's go to the playground again. We can play frisbee there."
Like usual, they didn't wait for her answer and started running to the playground immediately.
"No, actually, how many games do these kids play?"
The group continued to play games. Well, in actuality, they just watched Saneko effortlessly win every game they threw at her. When they played frisbee, Saneko hurled the frisbee around the planet with one hand, and caught it with the other. The kids began clapping.
When they played marbles, Saneko used telekinesis to get the marble to go wherever she wanted, letting her win in seconds. The kids began clapping.
When playing hopscotch, Saneko simply flew over the squares, and when landing on the other side, she put her hands on her hips heroically. The kids began clapping.
When playing tag, Saneko teleported to every one of them as soon as they started running, tagging them as soon as the game started. The kids began clapping.
When playing hide and seek, the kids began counting while closing their eyes. It was all of them against her. With a smirk, she turned invisible. Hours passed and the sun started to set, yet the kids could not find her anywhere. One of the kids was tired from searching and sat on the ground.
"DEMON BABE! WE GIVE UP!"
Saneko made sure none of them were looking before she turned visible again. She knew it was cheating, but there was no way she could let these kids find her.
"You all gave up huh?
They turned around to see her standing behind them. The boy who had sat on the ground looked over to see her.
"Oh, there you are!"
Saneko's disciple smiled. He was so proud of the fact that he was the disciple of the greatest hero the world had ever known. He also loved how he got to show his friends Saneko's true powers. It was sunset now and all of the kids knew they had to go home, but they didn't want to yet. They were still excited about being around Demon Babe. The kids wanted to play other games, but they had exhausted all of their ideas.
"What game should we play now?"
"Hmmm. I don't know."
Suddenly, Mr. Sarakana tapped Saneko's shoulder. She turned around and flinched in surprise to see him there. She talked to him in an angry whisper.
"What are you doing here?"
"You have been gone all day. When I got home, your mom was worried sick about you. Let's go home already."
"Dad! You're embarrassing me in front of my friends."
"Friends?"
He looked to see a group of elementary school students.
"Act your age Saneko."
Her disciple walked over and looked up at Mr. Sarakana. He didn't know who he was, so he assumed he was a villain.
"STAY AWAY FROM DEMON BABE!"
"Huh?"
All of the other kids ran up to do the same.
"YEAH! STAY AWAY FROM HER!"
Saneko and her dad looked down to see all of the kids protecting her. She smiled at this and put her hands in her suit pockets. Her dad, on the other hand, facepalmed when he realized what was going on.
"Oh, I see what's happening here."
Despite being very dense, he knew his daughter well enough to know that it was just like her to influence a lot of children into believe in her. He grabbed Saneko's wrist and tried to pull her away and Saneko narrowed her eyes in anger. Seeing this made all of the kids gasp and shock.
"SHE'S GOING TO KILL HIM!"
The kids began running away, thinking that Saneko was going to go all out or something and cause tons of collateral damage. She turned to see the kids leaving and a look of disappointment appeared on her face.
"Aww. And I was having fun."
