Chapter 70 Voice Command

The rooftop of the United Superhero Academy is one of the most visited spots on school and that's because it's spacious and it could get kind of aesthetic whenever a sunset is due. It is also the number one confession spot in school just like any other cliche school out there. But that wasn't the only thing that made the rooftop as popular as it was.

Due to the training center being always filled with professional superheroes, Sai Tama then decided that the school should have another training center or something of the sort on the school's premises. Of course, since there wasn't any place where students could train freely aside from the training center which is always filled to the brim, the principal decided to use the school's rooftop as a training ground for the students if they were too lazy or too shy to go to the training center. Principal Sai Tama made it his priority to make the rooftop out of almost indestructible materials so it wouldn't affect the lower floors if by any chance two students were to have a mock battle there.

Hence, the rooftop became a replication of the Concrete Arena but more child-friendly. Anyone can go there and practice a mock battle against anyone. A guard is always posted on the rooftop so it's safe to go all-out. As for flying debris, the rooftop is covered in an invisible barrier so there was no need to worry about things falling from the rooftop. Students who wanted to jump off the rooftop couldn't do it and so, there were no suicide attempts in the school. It was a roundabout and unexpected way of dealing with such a sensitive topic but it works nonetheless.

On that rooftop, currently, eight first-year students gathered around each other, all of them intently staring at each other's eyes. Well, all except for Midori since he was still eating his lunch as he wasn't able to finish it before they went to the Principal's office. Well, he did finish one of his bento boxes but he brought two of them today.

"So, what are we going to do here? Any ideas?" Shidou finally broke the silence, his voice resonating as gently as ever. Even though almost everyone in the group were guys, his voice was still mesmerizing for everyone. "Should we reveal our superpower so we could utilize them and strategize with them beforehand?"

No one spoke, causing Shidou to fidget before he continued speaking. "I have this superpower called 'The Voice'. It's very self-explanatory."

"How is that self-explanatory?" Midori asked in between his bites. "If you're going to explain your superpower, then just tell us what it is as clearly and as concisely as you can. I guess I should just start then, my superpower is a berserk superpower. The more damage I sustain, the stronger I get. This berserk skill also affects my secondary superpower which is a healing superpower. The Nurse told me that my healing superpower is superior to hers and I think she meant every word she said. If what she says is true, then that means I can surpass her in due time. My healing superpower allows me to heal any ailment or injury regardless of what it is but it drains my energy at an exponential rate."

"My healing superpower also increases in effectivity based on my desperation, kind of like my berserker skill so I can adjust my output quite well. However, I don't use my superpower to their full extent all the time so I'm not that confident in controlling them."

"Now, Shidou, that's how you properly explain what your superpower is, not just giving us vague clues about it. Okay? Now you try it." Midori continued.

While everyone was shocked that someone as free-willed as Midori was actually powerful, they all kept quiet as they stared at Shidou. A great part of each of them wanted to scream and tell Midori that his superpower shouldn't be that strong but they suppressed that urge. As much as they wanted to react, their priority was to know about everyone's superpower so they concentrated on Shidou this time.

"Um... o-okay," Shidou gulped at Midori's sudden response that he almost choked on his words. "M-my power is called ' The Voice'" He stuttered. "Some call it the 'Mating Call' or 'The Woo' but basically, how my power works is that I can basically woo anyone of the opposite sex by using my voice alone."

Before they knew it, every guy in the group uttered 'cool' before they realized it, causing the two girls in the group to show their disgust on their teammates. Sakura and Fuuka even wondered if their team could actually take the trophy of the inter-high.

"Wait, you're not kidding with us, right? If that's the case, then does that mean that we won't have to worry about the other female candidates? Can you take care of all of them at once?" Hiroshi excitedly asked, his eyes glistening with excitement. It's as if Shidou suddenly became a great figure amongst men.

"No, unfortunately not. If I intend to woo someone, then it's going to take a few days at most before she's completely into me. But my superpower is pretty effective... the least I could do is provide a distraction and catch a girl candidate off-guard, creating a diversion in the process. Aside from that effect, I can also cause someone to freeze in place by just shouting at them, or I can somewhat hypnotize them if my mental strength is strong enough. For example... freeze, you idiot!" Shidou suddenly extended his hands and screamed at Hiroshi who was just as surprised as everybody else in the group.

In that instant, however, Hiroshi felt his whole body stiffen as if invisible chains bound him. Even his mouth couldn't move nor twitch. As for Shidou, he relaxed a second later and released Hiroshi from his paralysis. "Something like that," Shidou's tone reverted to his usual gentle-as-a-calm-lake tone before he sat on his spot once again.

"Voice Command huh... that's pretty neat." Satoshi muttered to himself, all the while staring at Hiroshi who was probably traumatized or embarrassed by what just happened.
