Strongest Superhuman System

Mark was leaning his back against his car and staring up into the night sky as he waited for Arit to come out from the school building. It was already very late, but he was surprised when Arit called him and told him that she had been waiting for him in school all this while.

He thought that she would simply go home, but he guessed that she was worried about him and didn't want him to go home alone after what happened.

But right now, Mark's mind wasn't on Arit. Instead, Mark was thinking about what he just heard on the news a few seconds ago. Francis was dead. That was a shock to Mark. Mark was not an idiot, so he knew that there was only one person that could have given that superhuman killer the mission to kill him.

The superhuman killer said that a classmate's father was responsible for what happened, and as far as Mark knew, Francis was the only person in the school that he had enough bad blood with to warrant something like this.

And worst of all is the fact that Francis had the resources as well as the cowardly nature to go ahead with such a fucking stupid plan. What the hell was Francis thinking? Did he think that Mark would really come after him now that everyone knew Mark was a superhuman? Mark had been ignoring Francis all this time, so why would Francis go this far once Mark's identity was revealed?

Was he really that scared of Mark?

Mark frowned as he realized that Francis was really that scared of him. That fucking pussy.

But now Francis was dead. And it wasn't just him that died, Francis died with Esmeralda in one of the most embarrassing ways that anyone would ever want to die. In the middle of sex. That was something that their parents would never forgive. Mark was sure that both Francis and Esmeralda's parents would hunt down whoever did this until the end of the earth if they had to.

"Sigh~ Why does everything have to be so complicated?"

"Mark! You're here!"

Mark looked back down, and he smiled softly as he saw Arit running towards him excitedly. She was carrying both their bags and his school shirt, and once she was close enough, she leaned up and kissed him softly with her hands on his chest. There was still some specks of blood on Mark's singlet, but Arit didn't even seem to care as she gazed into his eyes.

"I'm glad you're safe, Mark."

Mark smiled at her and leaned down for one more kiss. Arit moaned into the kiss and a large blush spread on her face when they separated. She looked into Mark's eyes, and she saw how tired he was at that moment. Arit knew that Mark must be exhausted from that fight with the superhuman killer, so she suggested that they leave and go get some rest.

Mark shook his head and told her that he was not tired.

"I just got off the phone with Pat a while ago. He said that you were the one who warned him about the killer."

Arit's eyes widened by a millimeter, but she was able to get it back under control quickly. But Mark still caught it. Arit spoke up while nodding.

"O-Oh, yeah. I did. I spoke to Esmeralda, and she said that they were trying to use the killer to get rid of you, so I called Pat..."

"…"

"… W-Why are you looking at me like that?"

Mark was looking down at Arit with an empty gaze, and Arit felt like Mark was gazing directly into her soul! She took a step back and averted her eyes from his own as she couldn't handle the intensity of that stare. When Mark spoke, Arit felt her heart squeeze.

"Why did you kill them, Arit?"

Arit was still averting her eyes.

"W-What are you talking –"

"Don't lie to me!"

Arit's entire body shook in shock as she heard Mark shout at her for the first time in her life! The school bags dropped to the ground, and she joined her hands together in front of her chest nervously as she stared at her feet. Arit realized that Mark was not going to forgive her if she lied to him right now, and she was conflicted about what to do.

Mark had put a lot of effort into trying to teach her to control the QUEEN, so if he learns that she gave in and did what the QUEEN told her to do, would he not be disappointed in her? Wouldn't it be as if she spat on all his hard work? Would he forgive her for this?

At this moment, Arit felt like she was stuck between a rock and a hard place. She felt like she would lose Mark no matter what she said.

Mark continued.

"I don't care if you lie to everyone else, Arit. But not me. Don't lie to me. Just tell it to me straight, did you do it?"

Arit sniffled as she felt a tear dropping from her eyes. Arit could face anything in this world, but she couldn't face Mark's disappointment. She didn't want Mark to be angry at her, and she never wanted them to fight, but Arit knew that if she lied at this moment, she would tear their relationship apart.

Arit did everything to try and hide what she had done. She cleaned all the blood from her body and her school uniform, and she made sure that Maria would never talk about what happened. She even fabricated a lie about where she had been around the time that Esmeralda and Francis died, and spread it around school discreetly to hide her involvement.

Some people saw her leave the class with Esmeralda, but Maria lied that Arit was with her during the time that Esmeralda died, so no one would ever suspect her.

But Arit couldn't lie to Mark. Not when he was looking at her like that! Arit nodded her head once, and she heard Mark sigh. Arit quickly looked up and started to explain loudly!

"I-I did it, but I didn't have a choice! They sent a killer after you, and they were trying to make me have sex with Francis! The two of them are nothing but scum! They're trash! I just couldn't forgive them! They deserved death for doing something like that to you!

What if they had really killed you!"

Arit's eyes had turned yellow somewhere in the middle of her rant, and Mark sighed again as he saw the genuine anger in her eyes. He couldn't blame her for what she did because he knew that he would have done the same thing if someone tried to send a killer after Arit. Mark was just glad that Arit did not lie to him anymore.

Mark opened his arms, and Arit felt all the fight inside her body evaporate as she saw the invitation! Arit quickly used the back of her hand to clean some of her tears before she ran into Mark's arms and pressed her face into his chest!

Poomf!
