Strongest Superhuman System

Fiona turned around in anger as someone opened the door to the council room where the guild leaders gave their reports. Fiona glared at the person there in anger, and the man immediately took a step back in shock as he faced the full brunt of Fiona's anger all of a sudden! Why was she so angry at him!? He didn't even do anything!? Did he come at a bad time or something!?

Fiona glared at the man for a few more moments before turning to Turner and asking him at what time the assessment would begin. Turner raised his hand to look at the time on his watch before shaking his head from side to side.

"Not till about ten minutes. We need to prepare some things now that we know Mark is stronger than we initially assumed, so it will take us some time for that."

"Great, that means you can wait for me to finish before you start. Don't you dare start without me. I'll finish talking to those old men before coming to join you in the assessment room."

Fiona closed her fan with a click before she started to make her way into the council room to give her report. As she passed Luna, Fiona gave her a sideways glare that would have been enough to freeze fire, but Luna just ignored her as she continued looking straight at Mark. Luna had been waiting for Mark to finish talking with Fiona before she would come to talk to him.

Luna thought that Fiona was acting childish and she refused to bring herself down to such a level just because of this.

Once Fiona was inside the room, Luna turned to the Superhuman Alliance agent who brought her there.

"How long will it be before I can go inside?"

The woman bowed.

"My apologies, but you can go inside once Madam Fiona is finished with her report. I think they are leaving you for last since your report will take longer than Madam Fiona's. Your guild is much larger after all."

Luna waved the woman's apology away as she finally walked up to Mark. Mark was leaning against the wall with his hands folded and his eyes closed when Luna came up to him. Mark's eyes opened slightly as he noticed the moisture that suddenly filled the air around him once Luna came close enough.

Luna was not even using her blessing actively, but the water vapor around her was immediately liquefying just by being in her presence.

Mark nodded at Luna, and Luna smiled slightly at him in greeting.

"Mark, it's been a while since we met."

"Not that long. A few weeks at most. How have you been, Luna?"

Luna felt a small wave of happiness in her heart as she heard Mark speaking to her normally. Luna thought that Mark would be pissed at her because of the incident that they had before. Luna might not like thinking about it, but there was no doubt that Luna had been stalking Mark for a long time and Mark found out about it.

If Mark had completely ignored her, then Luna would have no reason to complain.

She was glad that Mark was not going to allow that incident to affect their professional relationship.

"I've been very well. I'm glad to see you doing fine after hearing what happened with the superhuman killer. Many people thought you would have sustained at least an injury since he is known to be so thorough, but you came out unfazed just as I expected."

Mark just shrugged at her in response, and Luna smiled once more. Turner had been taking a call at the side after Fiona went into the room, and he came towards the talking pair once he dropped the call.

"It seems Fiona was right about not getting the letter. It showed up at her office a few minutes after she left to come here. Do you mind waiting for a few minutes for her to finish up her meeting? It would also give us time to complete our preparations. There is a waiting room where you can relax while we prepare everything."

Mark sighed as he thought about it for a few moments. He knew that he didn't have to give Fiona the respect that a real guild master deserved since he was just an add-on member who was a part of her guild only for the sake of getting the government off his back for some time.

He won't even be with the Artemis guild for a long time, and he was already thinking of leaving the guild in a few more weeks. But since he was a part of the guild right now, he decided that he didn't want to make Fiona lose face in front of the other members of the Superhuman Alliance.

She was kind enough to allow him to join her guild when he needed help, so the least that he could do was to make her seem better in front of other guild masters.

"Okay then, let's go. Where is the waiting room?"

"Actually, do you mind if I joined you?"

Luna suddenly spoke up from the side, and Mark turned to her in surprise as he saw her smiling at him while raising her hand. Mark didn't really mind her joining him, but he was surprised that she would even ask.

Luna continued.

"I have a few minutes before I meet with the council, so you and I are in the same boat more or less. I wouldn't want to be stuck out here doing nothing while waiting, so I figured we could wait together. Is that fine by you?"

Mark shrugged as he started walking down the hallway, and he spoke up in a nonchalant tone that betrayed how apathetic he was about this entire situation.

"Sure, knock yourself out."

…

The waiting room that Mark and Luna were led to was a fairly large room with enough space to fit multiple tables and chairs that were arranged on either side of the tables. The tables were there so that different groups could all use the room at the same time without having to worry about conversing with any other group.

Normally, at this time of the month when there were many guild masters around trying to carry out their guild reports and waiting to be let into the council rooms, there would be a lot of people in the waiting rooms waiting for their turns, but right now, the room was perfectly empty.

Most of the guild masters had already given their reports, and there was barely anyone left in the Superhuman Alliance building other than the guild masters who were giving their last-minute reports.
