Introducing Somi Part 4

"You… how dare you say such words to us!? Do you even know who we are?" An Old Lady who was also a high-ranking official of the Hero Association finally couldn't contain her anger as she pointed her finger in the direction of Mio. She was the first one to question Yuki as she no longer handled all the insults that they were getting from her, but all of them just felt the same. They just didn't have any guts to say something as they still looked after the face of the Hero Association, after all, the person that they wanted to chew alive was under the wings of Alice.

"I'm not a deaf nor blind old hag. What I just said was the truth and if you got offended or hurt by what I said, it just makes it true. Plus, many people would agree with what I said, it's just no one dares to say it aloud. I mean… all of you are truly worthless. A Hero Association that all Humans look up to because they are heroes who are sent out to kill the Monsters of the Gate, but can you imagine them being late to arrive, and you just have to stand there and watch everyone you love die around you." Mio said lightly, but everyone could hear the coldness behind them. But none of them had the chance to say anything back as Mio just continued.

"What happened right now is just a perfect example of why you Hero Association are a bunch of worthless trash. The Gate spawned approximately about 7 hours ago or less and before even the Beast came crawling out, the staff of our Academy had already contacted you for help, and that was 30 minutes before they came which surely was enough time for all of you to get here. But what happened? We already cleared out the Gate when you came here." Mio explained to all of them which made the people immediately lower their heads.

What Mio said to all of them was a harsh reality, it did take them a lot of time before they could arrive, and when they did, they never expected the battle to be already over. This was the problem that the Hero Association had for a long time already, but no one just dared to bring it up, not until now. Some people might say that they are too busy saving the other parts of the World, but in reality, they are just some bunch of lazy people who delay everything so that when they arrive they can get all of the loot for themselves.

This is exactly what they wanted to do with the Gate here, but they didn't expect it to be cleared so fast. Now they cannot get anything because of the one rule that everyone must follow, whoever defeats the Gate, they are the ones who can get the rewards of it. But because they didn't have any contribution to it, they can only dream of getting the loot of a B Tier Gate.

So, they are trying to get all the loot by pressuring them into a corner, but they didn't expect them to be one to be cornered.

"This talk is over, let me tell you this Hero Association scum. I will not give you any loot that I got from this Gate, all of it will go to the brave Teachers who fought with me in defeating the Beasts." Mio sneered as she stood up and left the tent without looking back.

Mio already knew the purpose and true intentions of the Hero Association as she was just too familiar with it already. As someone who has lived for a thousand years already while defeating countless Gates, she can confidently say that she knows how they act because she was one of those people who tried to rely on them, but was ultimately disappointed.

So before they could lay out their plans, she already cuts them off by pissing them off and by making them face reality, and from that she doesn't care anymore about them as she has more important stuff to do. So she met up with Alice for a few minutes to give the 'loot' of the Gate, of course, there were none, so Mio had to get something from her stash and gave all of it to Alice.

"That is everything that I got inside, it's pretty good for a B Tier Gate, and for your information, I didn't take any. She is more than enough for me." Mio just smiled before turning away as she had already done everything that she needed to do.

Before Alice could say anything to Mio, she had already disappeared from her sight, and she was left disheartened about this. But she could not do anything and just accepted it and decided to wait for her tomorrow to ask her about something.

With everything done, she can now meet up with all the people that she contacted a few minutes ago to tell them about the most important news that they would be hearing in their lives. The people that she had invited were just limited to three people and they were Alice's Mother, and the Grand Master and President of Gravanium.

When Mio finally arrived at their meeting place which was the Moon that was orbiting around Jupiter, she saw them chatting among themselves to waste time as they were just waiting for her. Mio even saw another person that she didn't invite.

"I see that you still like to stick to your wife, Saito," Mio said playfully as she landed beside them and greeted all of them with just a small nod.

"Well, what can I say? I'm worried about my Wife's safety you know? Plus it has been so long since I have seen the two of you." Saito didn't find Mio's words rude at all as he just played with them as he knew exactly what Mio was like. Her words might seem rude, but she was just a very straightforward person.

"Safety? Are you sure? This old woman is much stronger than you right?" Mio chuckled after hearing the reason for Saito coming here, there was no need to lie in front of her as she knew the real reason. He wanted to meet all of his friends again after so many years.

"You're fucking older than me! How dare you call me old woman?" Solar snapped at what Mio said about her being old.

"Come on, stop it the both of you. We normally have this kind of time to meet up together, so make the most of it you know?" Meanwhile, the quiet man beside them finally spoke as he stopped Mio and Solar from fighting.

"Yeah, I know that Najin. Well, what can we do? All of us are very busy with our lives, except for her, who became a Teacher at her own Academy. This meeting is very abrupt anyway. Especially knowing that it came from Mio, what is it even about?" Solar commented and couldn't help herself to make fun of Mio.

"This matter is severe… it's a secret that I only know and this is the first time that I'm going to reveal this secret to anyone." Mio said seriously as the playful look on her face completely disappeared and when everyone saw this, they immediately shifted as they knew they couldn't play around now.

If Mio was the one to get serious, then you can't slack off anymore.

"How so?" Najin urged for Mio to continue.

"If I say that it involves our whole world, I mean whole. This whole Universe, would you believe me?"
