Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 15: Split Decision

Mark made his way past the students who were running towards the bunker and finally picked up his phone when it rang again!

[What the hell is going on there!? I can see five different monsters on the CCTV, and one of them is a country-level calamity! They are fighting together!]

"What?"

Mark was extremely surprised by the last thing that Pat just said! What did he mean by the monsters were fighting together!? Ever since the Armageddon class Anima four years ago, there hasn't been a single instance where monsters fought together or followed a leader. They were all mindless creatures that just knew how to destroy!

Mark shook his head as he reached his classroom and quickly prepared to join the fight. He put his phone in his pocket and took out his AirPods to connect them so he could keep talking to Pat! He then took off his shirt, leaving himself in only his inner singlet, and he grabbed a mask from his bag and placed it over his head before using it to cover his lower face. This was how Mark always fought, and he liked the anonymity that came with hiding his identity! Mark jumped through the window and began to race across the city at an immense speed!

Zoom!

Mark was so focused on trying to get to the scene of the fight that he didn't even notice that there was a light ping! ringing in his ear over and over again. This pinging sound was from his system, and it was sending him many messages!

[Does the user wish to activate the system? Yes/No...]

[Does the user wish to activate the system? Yes/No...]

[Does the user wish to activate the system? Yes/No...]

[If no choice is picked, system functions cannot resume. The system will move into standby mode until an option is picked.]

[Standby mode activated]

Mark could already see the giant smoke rising from the docks, and he jumped into the sky from on top of a building and soared through the air as he got closer to the docks! From up here, Mark could see everything that was happening at the docks, and he couldn't believe how crazy it was! There were many superhumans, and they were all trying their best to fight against five monsters with fish heads that were destroying everything in their path! The superhumans there were mainly C and B ranks, and so they had to fight in groups of more than five before they could even stand a chance against the fish-headed monsters!

But that wasn't the craziest fight that was happening! The worst fight happening was between a humanoid-looking anima with an ant head and two superhumans! Mark immediately recognized one of the two superhumans as Lightning Rider whom he saw earlier today, and the other superhuman was Yellow Phantom who fought against the monster yesterday!

Mark had a big choice to make! Should he go and help out the B ranks that were struggling against the fish-headed anima, or should he join the two superhumans that were fighting against the ant-headed anima!? Mark only thought about this for a split second, and he immediately came to a conclusion as he contorted his body and allowed himself to start moving towards the two superhumans that were fighting against the ant-headed monster!

[Don't do anything rash! That's a calamity, Mark! You can't win against something like that! You should try to help the other Superhumans instead!]

Pat's annoyed voice rang through Pat's ear, and Mark just ignored him as he continued making his way towards the fight! What did Pat expect him to do!? He couldn't just leave them there to fight against something like that on their own! Yellow Phantom is only a low-level A rank and Lightening Rider is a B rank! They had no chance of winning and it would be better for three of them to fight it together!

...

Tilda was breathing heavily as she looked at the giant ant-headed anima that was just staring at them with a bored expression in its eyes! It was like the anima was saying that they weren't even worth its time! She was already on her last leg as she could feel her stamina dwindling, and she knew that Lightning Rider was also on his last leg. He was even worse than she was because he had an injury on his shoulder that wouldn't stop bleeding!

They had to get out of this somehow! The three of them were standing on top of the broken half of a building that was leaning precariously to one side! With only the smallest movement, Tilda knew that the entire building would teeter and fall over like a stack of dominos! But what the hell are they going to do in this situation!? They already called for backup, but there hasn't been a single sign of anyone coming to help them! Even the other B ranks were busy trying to take care of the other Disaster Class Anima! They were definitely going to die here!

Woooosshhh!!!

A loud sound of something falling echoed through the air, and Tilda didn't even have time to turn around before something big and heavy slammed into the side of the Ant-headed Anima.

BOOM!!

Tilda felt her eyes widen in shock as she saw the anima get thrown across the building as it was blindsided, and a person landed in front of her and Lightning Rider.

Mark narrowed his eyes at where the Ant-headed Anima was thrown towards, and he prepared himself for a fight. He only managed to get a lucky hit once and he knew that the monster would never allow something like that to happen again! He looked to the side, and he saw that Lightning Rider was bleeding from his shoulder.

"You should get that closed up before you bleed to death. Having an injury in a fight like this is only going to make you a liability."

Mark said this to Lightning Rider, and he watched as Lightning Rider narrowed his eyes in annoyance! Lightning Rider was curious about who the hell Mark was because of how Mark was covering his lower face to prevent them from knowing his identity.

Tilda was far less confused, and she immediately knew who Mark was! She could recognize him from some of the videos that she used to watch on Metube! This was GHOST! He was a vigilante-type superhuman who went around helping people with a mask to prevent them from knowing his identity! Tilda knew that he did all of his vigilante work in this region, but she didn't think that he would come out to help them like this since they were in the open and there were going to be reporters soon. Tilda wanted to ask him what he was doing here, but she knew that it would be a stupid question! It was obvious that he came here to help them, and it would be stupid for her to refuse his help!

"We're going up against a Calamity, so we should try to come up with a plan. I don't think any of us has enough power to face it head-on, so we will try to buy as much time as possible for more A ranks to come. They are coming from another city, so it will take a while even at their top speed. If we can drag the fight away from the city, then that would be an ideal situation. Let's make it go back towards the docks."
