"So what now?"
"Now? Nothing much. Hero police and world government officials will handle the rest, they just asked for my assistance and I already did that."
"I see."
There was silence for moments as Lucas thought about Kurt and the fight that happened earlier.
Currently, both Lucas and Sia are inside her sports car.
After killing Kurt news reports swan Sia, Lucas was able to escape from the scene before any reporters spotted him.
Lucas was already famous after killing Samuel and from Silva City masscor, he does not want to be famous anymore.
Anyway, Lucas thought went back to what Kurt said to Sia.
'What about the people who were born with low mana core potential, many of them have D or C rank potential. They always live in the shadow of A, S-rank or higher-rank heroes.'
Even Kurt was a psychopath who killed people, what he said was true millions of people with E, D or C ranks are living in the shadows of higher-ranked heroes or hunters.
They barely earn from doing hero jobs, so most of them quit being heroes and turned themselves into mercenaries.
Others walked onto darker paths, like turning into fallen humans, joining a villain group or maybe turning into murderers.
...Like Kurt.
"I'm dropping off you at too main lines station," Sia said to Lucas and he nodded and looked outside of the car windows.
-Vroom!
The car engine started and Sia drove the car to Marin Lines station.
Lucas meanwhile continues his thoughts.
"I see." that's all Lucas said.
"Also here is your reward." Saying that Sia threw a black colour Skill Card toward Lucas, which he caught.
Lucas looked at the black colour Skill card for moments before giving Sia a confused look.
"What is this?"
"This Skill card belongs to Kurt, When investigating his place Hero police found it and gave it to me and since I don't have any use for it I'm giving you it as a reward."
'So this belongs to Kurt.' Lucas looked at the skill card with a complicated look he didn't know what to do but he would take this skill card with pleasure.
"But don't forget you still owe me two more times," Sia said with a small chuckle.
A small smile comes to Lucas as he says, "Yeah, I know. I won't forget it."
"Anyway, I should get off to the car." With that, Lucas exited the car, Sia looked at him "Make sure to go home."
"What are you? My mom?" Lucas said in a mocked tone.
"Anyway, bye-bye." Saying that Sia started her and drove away from Lucas.
Lucas stood there and watched as Sia drove away. The Marin Lines station loomed before him, a threshold to the next part of his journey.
As he entered the bustling station, the events of the night lingered in his thoughts. The complexities of the world, the shades of morality, and the consequences of power are —all intertwined in the tapestry of his existence.
The train doors opened, inviting him to step aboard. Lucas chose a seat, contemplating the path ahead. In this vast world, filled with heroes, villains, and those in the shadows, he couldn't predict every twist and turn.
The train departed, carrying Lucas towards the direction of his home station.
'Today is a long day.' Lucas couldn't help but think so then he remembered something.
Lucas took out the skill card that Sia gave him. Lucas thought for a moment and checked the status of the skill card, A few moments later Lucas's eyes widened at what he saw.
