• Chapter #18: [LIGHTSEEKER]
…
Why do people call Hiro a genius? Well, aside from the fact that he wields the Blade of the Tyrant, he’s also one of the few people who possess high – aptitude in becoming a Hero. He’s one of the youngest people who were able to surpass the rank of Dominator with ease, at just 17. Though, if you compare him with the others who were born inhumane, having been at Supreme Rank despite being close in age to him, he wouldn’t be so impressive. However, this offset is negated by his ability to quickly adapt and surpass others in record times, allowing him to be placed on same records as them. A true once in a century genius indeed.
Being born in the Kazuto Clan, Hiro had been trained as a swordsman and the heir of the Sword Specializing Clan in Asia. The day that he’ll defeat his father will eventually come. For now though, that’s an impossible endeavor, his father isn’t just a Supreme Rank, but is also hailed as the Best Swordsman in the Asian continent.
For Hiro, he doesn’t need to just defeat his father, but surpass him by becoming the Strongest Swordsman in the World.
However, right now, Hiro couldn’t help but feel disappointed in himself. He can’t even protect his friends. When he faced the Moon Rabbit, he did get a power boost, but he believes that it was from the sword. He felt helpless. How can he defeat and surpass his father like this? Or even protect his friends?
This time, he will fight with all his might. To prove himself and obtain greater heights. The other Hero Candidate around his age, who were right now fighting the main opponent, is at Supreme Rank. He needs to work much harder and push himself to surpass his limits.
As they and the others continue to fight, they couldn’t help but gasp and widen their eyes as someone descended from above, glowing white with power. It’s a male, based on his figure, and his appearance and presence was ethereal, requir— no, demanding them to fear and be awestruck at his presence.
…
“A-A LightSeeker…?”, Hiro whispered out, his eyes wide in shock and disbelief, as he stared at the pure white and angelic figure of the man.
“Th… That’s a LightSeeker?!”, Emilia gasped out, also staring at the man in shock.
“I see… So he was the one who casted that powerful healing spell…”
“So beautiful…”
Kurumi and Emiya were also stunned and awestruck of his appearance.
“We need to take advantage of this. For now, I think he’s helping us.”, Kogi had suddenly interrupted, bringing them out of their stupor as they nodded at him.

Aiming his bow at the Black Zodiac…
[Squall Arrow]
Kogi let fly. Massive amounts of wind coated his arrow, making it appear a mini – tornado around it that pierced through the other enemies. Upon hitting the ground, it exploded into a sphere of windstorm that shredded their enemies.
…
“Haaahhh… This was not considered at all. What a mess.”, The other Supreme Rank of the Black Zodiac sighed tiredly, as he set his gaze on me. Though his look appeared to be one of irritation, it also held a calculating gaze behind it.
“You didn’t like the light show?”, I smiled at him mischievously.
“No”, He flatly said to me, before continuing. “It became quite bad for us.”, He added, gesturing below.
“Heh, that’s just for fun. I wonder though, when are you going to use those mass transportation devices?”, I asked him.
“For fun?”, He said in disbelief, before shaking his head.
“Though, I guess I should’ve expected that you’ll be able to see them.”, He said, as he focused on answering my question instead.
“I don’t know if you’re really on their side or not, but… Since that guy is already there, it’s already too late for you.” He pointed at the sword wielding teen.
“That’s true, he’s still quite naïve and idiotic.”, I replied to him, rubbing my chin as I looked at Hiro.
This seemed to surprise him. I guess he’s starting to believe that I’m really just doing this for fun, maybe in his mind he is thinking who is the villain here. A few moments though, he smiled and shook his head once more.
“No matter. The prey has now entered the snake’s trap. It’s now too late.”
He said, then he added. "We prepared a lot."
“Hmmm… I guess this is where that disaster comes in.”
I mumbled, it seems that the plans of this bunch of this so called evil organization is related to my task.
He frowned lightly at my comment, seemingly wondering what I was talking about.
“However, unknown variables can still falter the best of plans.”
He talked deliberately and his words are aiming on me.
“And that’s you.”
“I might be… or not.”
I said, then continue. "I'm taking a neutral good alignment here, as long as I needed to act, I'll act."
“I see… So you’re really an enemy.”
“So, you wanna fight?”
“No. I have done my job. There’s no purpose of fighting someone as powerful as you.”
He gazed on my figure, it seems this man knows about the identity of this outfit or rather the Lightseeker.
“Alright. I’m just curious of you people anyways.”
I said smiling on him, and looking curiously.
“Well, if that’s all…”, The man said, before vanishing, why the rush?!
“Haahhh… As always, you’re still the source of them.”
I looked at the figure of Hiro below, this guy is always a magnet of evil organization and evil plots of villains. Right, talking about how troublesome indeed to become a main character.
Ping!
I forgot that the bet is still going on, but I'm still unable to participate. Ha....
Along with the constant of bet on my livestream, the sound of ancient SIMPs cheering. I noticed that it purposely blurred the faces of the people or rather the extraordinary, I come up to conclusion that it protect extraordinary from karma. So it really also protect a person if one caught by a camera in the public eye, no wonder all those superpower videos on the internet are quite blur and redeemed as fake. But a strange thought come up to my mind, if I show someone face on the camera, and taking out the blur options since karma does not affect me, will karma hit them? An op tactics will sure happen.
…
“Huh?!”
“What’s that?!”
The magic circles finally revealed themselves. They glowed in purple light, before each of them formed a line that connected them to each other. Soon, all of them had successfully connected, forming one gigantic magic circle.
The massive magic circle had eclipsed the whole school, tinging it in purple light.
“Hurry! Get out of the barrier!”, Hiro yelled out. They had no time on analyzing what this thing does.
“Heh, it’s too late.”, The man from earlier sneered, before snapping his fingers.
[Greater Mass Teleportation: Active]
The purple glow became blinding, and it became the last thing that everyone saw before darkness overtook.
Zap!
Few people vanished inside, that also included me that 'voluntarily' goes with the flow.
