Chapter 31: No Hiding Place

Chapter 31: No Hiding Place

Fiona could see from Mark's eyes that he was not convinced. She thought that she would be able to convince him about going to the island and also make him interested in their guild at the same time, but it turns out that things cannot be that simple! Mark was going to need a lot more proof for him to see that he should go to that island alone!

"Very well then. You do not seem convinced, so let us take an excursion! I'm sure you'll feel a lot more willing to listen to what we have to say when you see what we have seen."

Fiona's blessing flowed out from her once again and spread in all directions before grabbing hold of a man from over a kilometer away! Her blessing was strong enough that even from his distance, the man could understand what she wanted and obeyed her!

Ratatatatata!!!

The man was the driver of the helicopter and he was immediately forced to bring the helicopter towards them by Fiona's power! This was how easy it was for Fiona to get anything that she wanted! She didn't even have to say a single word! Just spreading her blessing was enough for her to get anything that she wanted from anyone around her! In the eyes of humans, she was literally Aphrodite herself!

Mark was skeptical about going with the superhumans now. He knew that there was no need for him to wait for their help since he was going to get a helicopter from Pat later today, but Mark also had no idea what he was going to be meeting on that island! Pat already said it before that there were many heat signatures on that island and that meant that there were many monsters there! It would be better to learn more about he monsters there and what kind of ranking those monsters had before going to save Arit. Mark was desperate to try and get Arit out of there, but he wasn't stupid enough to believe that he could fight through a nest of Calamity Class monsters!

Were the humans wrong? Did they just not understand enough about the Anima and they went ahead and thought that Anima were all mindless creatures that had no purpose? Or maybe this was something new that humans have just never seen before. Maybe the Anima were evolving.

All these thoughts went through Arit's mind and she only hugged herself tighter as the intensity of the situation made her shiver once more!

'Mark, please. Save me.'

Arit could only think like this as she felt her body slowly going still. She had been hiding in the staff room, watching the television and trying to see if GHOST would win against the ant-headed anima that attacked the city, but she was stunned when she saw the face of GHOST! She had been looking for Mark all this time, but she had no idea that Mark was actually outside there fighting against that monster! She felt so stupid at that moment when all the various signs finally came into her mind and clicked into place!

All the times that Mark would disappear from class and from the house! And all the time that he would come back with an injury that was too serious to be left untreated and she would have to help him so that it doesn't get infected! Arit thought that Mark was just a Hooligan who liked to fight on the street and someone who likes to play hooky! She had no idea that he was actually a superhuman!

She should have known! All the signs were right in front of her and she just kept on denying it because she trusted Mark more than anyone in her life! She was so stupid! She should have known!

Arit kept on thinking in this manner while she was hiding in the staff room, but she didn't have any time to react as she suddenly heard a massive force crash into the window of the staff room and into the room! Arit turned around in shock and she saw that it was a fish-headed anima that was looking around her room and sniffing the air. She immediately hid under the table and held her mouth with both hands! What was an Anima doing here? I thought that the superhumans were taking care of them!
