DIE!!!

Fifteen minutes ago

Heero stood in front of a table. The tools and materials had been prepared to make a weapon.

Just as he was about to pick up the hammer, his smartwatch vibrated. He looked down, it was a call from Security House.

He answered the call and heard Fatty Liang's voice through the smartwatch, "Boss, it's me, Fatty Liang. Two black-level visitors have moved towards the academy!"

A frown appeared on Heero's forehead. Black Level Visitors, a Legendary Class Ranker. That was how the security classified the visitor.

Every visitor had to be checked and identified in order to enter the district. A dangerous one like a Ranker would be watched. Black level was considered the most dangerous.

"Keep an eye on them through the camera and let me know. I will watch them personally!" Heero ended the call and turned around.

"I will wait for your return, Master!" Smith Huang nodded understandingly.

Heero nodded and left the forge, through the back door of course.

Security House

"Should I report to the Hero League?" Fatty Liang asked back but got no answer.

"Hello? Boss!? Boss!!?"

"Ugh, he closed my call. What should I do?" Fatty Liang looked worriedly at the monitor.

The monitor showed the profiles of two old men. Ryong Chong-Shik, Legendary Class Ranker - Rank 1, and Hanzo Keiji, Legendary Class Ranker - Rank 4.

He knew his boss was strong, but this time the opponents were no joke.

After some thought, Fatty Liang's face lit up. He called out an id, Fiery Goddess.

Meanwhile, Heero followed the two old men closely across the roof. The two old men were doing well.

They visited some shops and stalls. Giving the impression that they had come to the district to play rather than have any hidden agenda.

That was what Heero thought at first, until the two old men stopped in front of Heero Preschool.

As soon as he saw this, Heero immediately evacuated the preschool. The children and teachers were evacuated through the back door. This led to the current situation.

Heero opened the door and faced the two old men.

"How did you know?" Hanzo asked Keiji in a surprised tone.

"What are you doing here? What do you want?" Heero ignored Keiji and looked directly at Ryong Chong-Shik.

"Hoho, we just wanted to play around. Do you want to play with us?" The old man replied playfully.

"Hah... Why can't you leave me alone? I just want to live a peaceful life here," Heero murmured in a low voice while he let out a sigh.

Although he said it in a low voice, the two old men heard it clearly.

"Good! We will leave you alone, but you must give us your secret technique!" Ryong Chong-Shik smiled kindly at Heero, as if he was doing him a favour.

"If you want to get my secret technique, why did you come here instead of me?" Hearing this, Heero's calm expression turned cold and his eyes became sharp.

"Aiyo, don't stare at me like that. You're scaring the old man." Ryong Chong-Shik waved his hand playfully.

Heero said nothing in return, standing there and staring coldly at the two old men.

Badump! Badump! Badump!

Hanzo Keiji's heartbeat quickened, the glare somehow making him nervous. He could feel the dangerous feeling of the young man in front of him.

"Hohoho... it's been a long time since I felt such a sensation. Who was it? Ah, the last time I felt the same sensation was when I faced Old Ming from the Hero League,"

"What a promising young man! I changed my mind, how about joining us instead?" Ryong Chong-Shik offered with a smile.

"You changed your mind? What's your first plan?" Heero answered with another question.

"Why are you so curious about our first plan? The important thing is that I will give you a peaceful life and you will join us! It's for a better future! Let's forget the past and forge a new future with us," Ryong Chong-Shik continued.

"Depending on your answer, I may even spare your life! So just spit it out, what were you going to do?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a stubborn young man," Ryong Chong-Shik shook his head and sighed.

"All right, if that's what you wanted. We were going to kidnap your daughter and exchange her for your secret technique. On the way I will kill some children and teachers to warn you!"

"That was the plan and we failed because you noticed our arrival. Now I have changed my mind, you should join us before you regret it." 

It was as if Heero had not heard Ryong Chong-Shik's last sentence.

The space next to him distorted and his hand entered the distorted space. Not long after, he pulled his hand out. In his hand was a large blade.

For the first time, Ryong Chong-shik's face changed. He was startled by the scene he had just witnessed.

Hanzo Keiji immediately drew his sword. He was ready to fight at any time.

"As I said, depending on your original plan, I could spare your lives. But with your answer, there's no way I can't spare your lives!" Heero's eyes blackened, at that moment his eyes turned completely black.

His skin also darkened as his shadow slowly spread.

Shoosh!

Heero's body entered the shadow before it rushed towards the two old men.

"Ryong Chong-Shik! Get your ass ready!" Hanzo Keiji shouted.

The image of a friendly old man disappeared as a clear sign of nervousness appeared on the face of Hanzo Keiji, who panicked at the sudden change.

The feeling of danger turned into a feeling of death. He had felt this countless times, but this time, if he was even a little bit careless, he was sure that death was waiting for him.

Hanzo Keiji's figure also disappeared as he went into stealth. As for Ryong Chong-Shik, he had a spear in his hand and a stern expression on his face, no longer playful as before.

In the blink of an eye, the ground turned black, covered by the shadow. Ryong Chong-shik could not even see his own shadow.

Swoosh!

Heero leapt out of the shadows, lunging at Ryong Chong-Shik from the front as he slashed horizontally with his large blade.

Ryong Chong-Shik's reaction was quite quick. He brought his spear forward and blocked the incoming strike.

Clang!

Urghhhh!

The force behind the big blade was beyond the old man's expectations. He was pushed back and grunted heavily.

At the same time, Hanzo Seiji took the opportunity and appeared behind Heero. He swung his sword at Heero's neck. But the sword brushed empty air as Heero's figure disappeared back into the shadows.

Realising that his sneak attack had failed, Hanzo Seiji immediately went into stealth again.

The same scene repeated itself again and again. Heero shot out of the shadows and swung his large blade towards Ryong Chong-Shik.

Ryong Chong-Shik blocked the attack while Hanzo Keiji started his stealth attack.

After a while, Ryong Chong-Shik's hand shook. His hand was numb from blocking Heero's blade so many times.

"F*ck you, you sneaky b*stard! Come and face me if you dare!" The kind and gentle old man could not stand it any longer as a curse escaped his mouth.

With Heero hiding in the shadows, he could not attack him. In fact, he was helpless and had no choice but to retreat. But his pride as a Legendary Class Rank 1 prevented him from retreating.

"If you don't come out, I'll make you!"

Ryong Chong-Shik turned around and stormed out of the preschool. He wanted to run amok in the district to force Heero out of the shadows.

Just as he was about to reach the gate, he crashed into an invisible barrier that prevented him from breaking through.

The old man was startled at first, but he did not panic. He took two steps back and raised his spear.

The spears glowed blue. Out of nowhere, water came out of his hand and covered the spear.

The water spun around the spear, forming the shape of the drill at the tip. This was the secret technique of the Ryong family.

Swoosh!

The old man thrust his spear at the barrier.

"I will break your cheap trick with my spear!"

Boom!

Not only did the spear fail to break through the invisible barrier. The barrier threw the old man away.

At the same time, the shadows on the ground disappeared and Heero appeared in the exact same place. The difference was that he had a spear in his hand instead of the large blade.

"I was just testing how strong the Legendary Class Ranker is..." Heero shook his head as if he realised something.

Weak, whether it was heroes or rankers, they were much too weak than he thought. Even the peak existence of Rankers was just that much.

Bzzzt! Bzzzt! Bzzzt!

Yellow lightning buzzed from Heero's feet, "Prepare for your punishment, since you dare to reach out to my family, old man!"

But then Ryong Chong-Shik appeared right in front of Heero with a broad grin.

"Don't get too cocky, young man! It's you who will die, not me! DIE!!!"

The old man pointed his spear at Heero's head.
