8: Oliver The Best Hero And Hero Names For Three Class 1-S Students

 Oliver dashed to the dragon man and with his bare hands, carried him and smashed him to the ground. I looked in awe. He ripped off the scales of the dragon leaving the skin bare. Something hot lava couldn't do, Oliver is really super strong. Within a few minutes the dragon man was dead. Two more class S heroes appeared near Oliver. They were Henry Marshall and Sasha Xerxes. "Ooh, Eva had a problem with a weakling. We had such high hopes in you since your sister is the number one hero. I guess you didn't take after her. You are a weakling." Sasha mocked. I didn't know their abilities but they looked very strong. "Come on guys, the test mission is over. We have killed the most powerful beings here. Oliver, Sasha and Henry moved calmly away from us and we followed nimbly behind. Eva was silent throughout our trip back to school. Who could blame her, her mates had just tarnished her image.

 We returned to school and we were all led to a big hall. There everyone including those of higher classes were gathered. I wondered what was happening. Suddenly, the commander took the stage and most of the teachers also including Mr. Agustin. Commander Laura had a floating orb by her mouth. I guess it's a magical speaker and I was right.

"OKAY KIDDIES." We covered our ears because it was too loud. She cleared her throat and continued, this time in a low and bearable tone. "The first years went on a test mission and they did well. Yes congratulate yourself on that. But four out of you all performed noteworthy and will be given hero names and the rest of you might be promoted or demoted depending on the results I have here. Before the promotion and demotion, I will call on the four first years that did well. Oliver Munro. He killed the last boss and also destroyed a lot of high level beasts. You shall be given the hero name, Conqueror. Next is Sasha Xerxes. With her energy projection, she wiped out a lot of enemies in less than an hour. She is a brave and powerful lady hero, your hero name shall be Aurora. Next is Henry Marshall with the ability to get stronger the more he is attacked or in a dire situation. He became extremely strong and killed an A level beast who gave a lot of students problems. He also saved a lot of people from falling debris, your name shall be the same as your ability, Overload. Finally from A class, yes you heard right, Eva Hero has been demoted to class F. She couldn't defeat a minor beast on her own. A mere D class beast. Anyway someone was more impressive than Eva. He is Akila Ryan with gravity manipulation. He didn't do as well as the other three but he was more impressive than Eva. His hero name shall be G-Man, we come to the end of the name giving ceremony. In Class 1, your representative is Oliver Munro, he is the best hero. If you need to talk to any of us, meet with him first. There will be no classes for today. Use today to get to know your other classmates well. Good day everyone."

Rumours began to spread. Why was Eva demoted. Was it just because she didn't beat a boss? But she was the sister to the most powerful hero, the number one hero. That means the school didn't care for class or connections of people. Eva sat alone in class F. I wanted to go to her, at least thank her for saving us but she looked so depressed. A stranger suddenly walked into our class. We haven't seen him before.

"Eva Hero, trust you are in this low class." Eva shocked as the class cleared to show her. The boy walked over to her. "Hello Riley." She greeted melancholic.

"I can't believe my sister is so pathetic. You dropped from the highest rank to the lowest rank in one day. Big sister is so disappointed." "What do you want Riley? Not here to talk shop right?"

"Big sis says you should drop out. You wanted to show off being strong. But in a real mission you failed." I saw Eva was angry but she couldn't do anything. Who was this? "You must be Gabriel, our sister's favourite toy. She had high hopes for you too. I am the brother, and I am in class 3-S. We have the same powers except mine is Lightning manipulation. Or you can say lightning deity. My hero name is Jolt. I got that name at my first year. Anyway she is asking for the both of you. Let's walk to the principal office."

We went to the office and a huge projector was on. I saw Amaya and a young man near her, I have seen him before, during the Oliver extermination attempt. It seems he was the closest aide to her. I wonder who he was. Lady Amaya was talking.

"Hey little sister, I think I haven't introduced him yet. Here is my partner, Lakers Snow, the second strongest and most powerful hero, with ice manipulation and name Freezebolt." She said pointing to the man next to her. "Truly I am disappointed in you but I won't punish you for it. Actually I am happy, you will remain in the background and do menial and not dangerous jobs." I saw Eva grating her teeth. I wanted to talk but she turned to me. "And you Gabriel, protect my sister, I know you can, I expect great results. My greetings to Oliver Munro."
