1.76: The Staff member's entrance!

"PEOPLE, DO YOU SEE? It's…it's…"

GAIYATO!!

"Yo!" he smiled back at the camera and brought Ogata and Neo to the crowd. "You guys stay here; we will take care of this."

"W-We?" Neo asked.

And a demoniac charged towards the crowd.

"LOOK OUT OVER THERE!"

~RAGE RELEASE: RECOIL!

SMASH!!

Azahii sliced it in half before Anderson dragged the human out of it.

CATCH!

"All five humans have been saved; the demoniacs are now shells!" He said.

"Got it."

Out of panic, they all dispersed around the city, but the fifth one broke out of Gaiyato's portal and sliced one of the buildings.

CRASH!!

"WATCH OUT EVERYONE!!"

Before Gaiyato could react, a shadow jumped ahead of him.

MUCH!!

BOOST!!

"Not gonna let it fall!"

BASH!!

Bobby pushed the building back vertically, and Yamato flung the demoniac to the broken pillar.

~LIVING BLADE: BOILING BLOOD!!

BOOM!!

He burned the demoniac's insides and used it to stabilize the building.

"Hey! Bobby, Yamato! What are you guys doing here?" Gaiyato asked.

"SAVE THE TALK FOR WHEN WE ARE FINISHED!"

***

Hino rushed after one of them as she was running on the building. "Not running away from me, you piece of sh*t!"

~WATER KARATE: WILLOW BLAST!!

SPLASH!

The demoniac slid down the road, but she was not finished there.

~LIGHTNING KARATE: EAGLE SHOCK!!

BLAST!!

She slid on the water train and electrocuted the demoniac. "AND FINALLY!"

~STEEL KARATE: METAL KICK!!

BOOM!!

She compressed the demoniac just like paper, leaving only three. One of the demoniacs moved a reasonable distance from the bank until it saw a red light flash whenever it moved.

"Run as fast as you can. But you can outpace the speed…OF EVOLVING SCIENCE!" Alphas said.

~TECH PROWESS: TRIPLE A DESTRUCTION!

BOOM!!

An explosion obliterated the demoniac from above.

"Hmm, the other one is close by." He took a coin and threw it to one of the street lights.

TINK!

It hit it, bounced on a wheel, and then recoiled around the city. He pulled out a grenade and turned back. "I knew you would come from behind."

The demoniac wasted no time and attacked, but Alphas threw it to him. Without pulling out the safety pin, everyone thought he made a mistake.

"Sorry, you obnoxious creature…"

TINK! TINK! TINK!

The coin came rallying past him and rebounded off the safety pin.

BOOM!!

"but I am already engaged with science."

SLIP!

And just as he said that the safety pin rolled around his finger.

With only one demoniac remaining, all eyes were on Gaiyato as he began to stretch out.

"Mister Gaiyato, how do you plan to catch up to the last one?!" Chloe asked.

"Oh, I don't have to." He responded.

Hakuraa!

VWOOSH!!

The blue palm opened before them, and he immediately pulled the demoniac out by the tongue. "Alright, time for me to show off as well."

~HAKURAA: BLISSFUL APPARITION!

VWOOSH!!

Blue human-like arms appeared around the demoniac and lifted it to the sky. Gaiyato built spiritas and jumped after it.

KICK!!!

One kick elevated its height, making enough space for his final attack. "Hakuraa!"

The whole city lit blue as he charged up. "Blue…"

Scales were being formed into a tail and then made giant wings.

~DRAGON FIST!!

BLAST!!

The dragon devoured the demoniac and flew through it until nothing was left.

BOOM!!

The vast explosion cleared the sky again, and the heroes regrouped in front of the city bank.

"PEOPLE! AND THAT IS THE POWER OF THE RED STAR HIGH STAFF! GIVE THEM A ROUND!!"

CHEERS!!

The students also celebrated the epic display from their teachers.

"DID YOU SEE THAT ATTACK FROM GAIYATO?!"

"IT WAS A DRAGON!! A REAL LIFE DRAGON!!"

"MISS HINO KNOWS THREE KARATE STYLES?!"

"HE POPPED A GRENADE WITH A COIN!!"

"Silence, please!"

All the students went silent as Mr. Tie walked through the hallway. "What is the meaning of all this ruckus?"

"Sir, the teachers went WILD in the city while saving one of our students!" A boy said.

"I see. Well, my apologies for cutting the celebration short. You guys have all the right to be impressed."

And they all resumed celebrating right before Gaiyato and the other teacher arrived to a standing ovation.

CLAPPING!

"Oh my. Didn't expect this one bit." Anderson said.

"Well, their gratification levels have sharpened to acknowledge our toil," Alphas responded.

"Jeez, can you speak English next time?" Azahii asked.

"How did you not understand what he just said?" Hino asked.

"Because I speak English."

Stop!

They all waited for the students to gather in the hall, but an obstacle stopped them.

"Wait, these were not here before," Suno said.

Tables and chairs were placed in the school hall, with every student's name and class written on them. 

"I was just about to announce this to you. Today is the day for the entrance exam!" Mr. Tie said.

Everyone showed multiple reactions. Some students were stressed, others were calm, and most were questioning what exactly would be on the exam.

"If you are wondering what will be on the test, it will be about humans and ronins. You were all given a textbook to study; the ronins got ronin books, and humans got human books."

They all sighed in relief.

"Wait, it was due for today?" Tedashii asked.

"Yes, this is why we were looking for you during the afternoon," Leah said.

"Don't forget what is at stake on this exam." Makoto reminded him.

"At…stake?"

"Yes Mister Tedashii. Like I said on day one… what's at stake is your position as a hero!"

GASP!

"This school is not only a place for us to recruit future heroes but also to prove your worth," Hino said.

"And remember, individual or team wise, if one person fails…the whole team gets expelled," Alphas said.

"But to make matters even more complicated, we tricked you all," Anderson said, taking the textbooks in his hand. "If some of you actually read the book's content, you'd see that the books were switched up. This means if you studied through the book, you'd be writing on the other one."

They all took their books out and skimmed through the pages.

"He's right…All of this is about ronins, but we're human!" One of the boys said.

"Mine too. But why did you do this?"

Gaiyato then stepped up and held the test. "Being a hero means being prepared for any situation. You won't have time to remember your opponent, so you must be ready for anything!"

Gale smiled as his whole team looked at him.

***A day ago; Sapphire Dawn hideout***

"We are being tricked," he said. "They switched the content of the books to surprise us tomorrow."

They looked at it and noticed he was not lying.

"Here. I made a copy of the human textbook for all of us to prepare for this test. We are not disbanding because of a paper."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So you already knew this?" Kaen asked.

"Yes, I was reading through it one day and noticed that everything in it was impossible in humans' bodies."

"So we can do this," Konami said.

"Yeah, let's make it to the top spot." Toru agreed.

---

"Our fate will be decided on a piece of paper?" Suno asked.

"It appears so. And worse is that I spent my whole afternoon studying, and now they tell us it's wrong!" Nikki said while sulking.

"My brother didn't even tell me about this…and what's worse is that we know about ourselves, but not the humans," Kate said.

"But guys, we just have to think like them. I'm sure that it will be general questions." Brianna said.

"It doesn't matter," Brittany said. "As long as we can all pass, we'll still be a team, so all of you don't let me down."

---

"Boss! I don't know if I'll make it…" Josuke said to Uraka.

"HUH?! YOU KNOW IF YOU FLUNK WE ALL GET THE BOOT!"

"I'M SORRY, But I-"

"Listen up," he said, gathered his guild, "We have gone way too far to go down here. I…believe in all of you guys. So don't let me down!"

Josuke's eyes lit up in flames after hearing that.

"Boss, I will pass this test…for you and the team."

---

"This is it, guys, all the best, and I hope everyone is ready," Franco said.

They all shook their heads, but only Tedashii was still spacing out. "…Right, Tedashii?"

"Huh, what? Y-Yeah… I'm ready."

"That does not sound so confident. Are you sure that nothing happened yesterday?" Makoto asked.

"Yes, I'm okay." He smacked himself and shook his head. "Alright, guys, Let's pass this!"

YEAH!!

So they all began walking around the hall, looking for their seat.

("It's okay, Tedashii. You got this! Stop shaking, stop sweating. It's only a test…that will determine your entire future. I WILL BECOME A LAST HERO!") He said to himself as everyone stared at him.

("How unfortunate for Tedashii.") Haruro said.

("Out of all of us… He's sitting at the very front. Right in front of Mr. Tie") Eon said.

("Meaning that he has a personal supervisor.") Sarah said.

("But thanks to my boyfriend, he has opened a window for the rest of us.") Brittany said.

And they all starred around them.

("Thanks to Tedashii…")

("We have the opportunity…")

("TO CHEAT!")
