Later, we will announce the top 10 Candidates with strong Durability and Strength. For the meantime teacher Anna and teacher Keeper will lead you to your respective dorms so you better behave and follow them." The Emcee explained.

"All female candidates, follow me" ordered Teacher Anna, she is a slim and slender girl.

"Mens let's go to your dorm!" Ordered a middled aged man with medium build body.

When they reach the dorm everybody had choosen a room for themselves, Null take out his mask and put that inside the drawer and he lay himself on the soft bed. His body was so fatigue that he had fallen asleep, he don't even feel his body being tiredband it's on his limit.

5.Potter. 80%

4. Fox Slayer. 87%

3.Damon. 90%

2.Dina-Might. 95%

3.Null 100%

"What? 100 percent?"

"Are you kidding?"

"It's unbelievable!"

"He must have cheat!'

"Didn't used all his strength to attack so that he can defend the attack well, it's just a cheap trick." Damon said.

"Who the hell is is this Dina-might anyway? Is it Dynna? Is she better than me?" Damon can only make a guess.

The Dean was also surprised to see the Durability test rankings. There was none in the history of Heroes Academy that achieved a 100 percent. "Who could that be in the name of Null? As for my choosen student, he did not even achieved the strongest in terms of offense That would be shameful to my very student if I let that lists published. As for this candidate, Dynamu it would be better if you die."

In the meantime, the S class hero Sky Surfer came to see the director of Heroes Academy.

"Why is it that you come to see me ? Asked Xavier. "Is it important?"

"It's highly important, it concerned about the candidates of the Heroes Academy and our future. I told this to the Dean but he just ignore me and send me away." Sky-surfer answered.

The Director stands while leaning his two palms on his desks.

"You scum, what is it that makes you so concerned about it though Heroes Academy has nothing to do with you anymore and you're been banned as a hero for giving wrong information, don't you remember that? It was just 10 years ago right? And now you are already doing the same mistake."

"Don't scold me anymore sir, that was in the past anymore. I have change my ways. I have finished taking the punishment I deserve already. But I'm still human, If there is any hint that would destroy humanity I know of I have to say it. I need to tell it, I just need someone to believe me."

"And how can we believe a liar like you?" The director asks.

"This time, I'm not lying" Sky surfer replied.

"Do you have proofs? How can I be certain that your information is reliable?" Asks the director.

"You can asks the Supreme Sword Master himself if I'm telling a lie." Answered Sky Surfer.

"Now, I'm getting a bit curious about that information that you have" said Director Xavier.

"You're interested? How much can you afford?" Asked the Sky Surfer gladly.

"Tell me first about your information and I will give the price after I have verified that information" the Director suggested.

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Sky Surfer rejects such suggestion.

"If you are not interested, then I'll go. But if you change your mind then here is my card." He said as he put the small card in the director' s disk and goes on and left the chamber.

"Don't blame me Zander for being rude to your son it's your fault after all for not paying me the right price after completing my tasks. It's not even enough to buy another flying roto-taxi that got destroyed on the way. Surely, I can sell this kind of information in the Blackmarket." Sky Surfer was silently complaining while walking to the terrace. Then he called someone on the phone.." You can pick me up here at the Director's building, tenth floor." He ordered.

That moment he left the director's room Mr. Xavier called out his attendants. "Summon me the SSS hero Supreme Sword Master, the new Sword master teacher of the Heroes Academy. Tell him there is something I want to to talk to him." He commanded.

"I will go and look for him ommidiateler sir" the attendant said and he immediately left.

"Why I am so intrigued about the information Sky Surfer have? Is it really reliable this time?" Director Xavier taught to himself.

After some time of waiting, a flying roto-taxi came hovering over the tenth floor terrace. Sky Surfer goes in to ride.

"Send me to the Blackmarket in Tokyo" he ordered.

"Black market? I don't know the place" the driver said.

"You are not from Japan right?" Asked Sky Surfer.

"Yes" the driver answered.

"Then just send me to the Tokyo Hotel Ground floor level 50" ordered Sky Surfer.

Black market is not even recorded in the GPS. Only those customers know of the place and there refferals have access to this place. It is organized by the Apocalyptic Underground Mafia lead by a man named Apocalypse. They operated globally, so it's not surprising to have a black market in every major cities. Almost anything can be bought here from illegal drugs, to weapons of destruction, sex slaves and servants. Not only that but even information the world in the surface has never known can only be sold and bought in the Black Market. Apocalypse is strong as an SSS+ class hero, so who would dare to miss with him.

In the Heroes Academy, Bubbles Up was back, urging the Dean to let her take the aptitude test.

"Sir please believe me, I've become a SSS class, I almost killed that giant beast, I've become taller and become sexier so please let me take the test sir." Begged Bubbles Up.

"You graduated already and not under our custody anymore, If you want to check your aptitude test again, you do it on the Association of Heroes":said the Dean.

"I'm already here, and you are sending me to that far away dessert place in the south. It's the same aptitude test here anyway" Bubbles up Complained.

"Just stop begging and bugging me" the Dean said acting like he was to loss his cool.

"Why? I don't ask a hard thing, it's just a test." Bubbles Up tried to explained.

"I have enough of this already, your looking like a child begging for candies so stop it." The Dean said.

"I'm not a child, you wait when you see me transform into a beautiful lady with a height approximately six feet. I can't wait to see you drooling your saliva." Explained Bubbles Up.

"Hahahahaha!" The Dean laugh. " I don't know what kind of fantasy did you read" he added.

"I have a more serious question I have to ask of you"

Bubbles Up give a serious face as the Dean's expression has change.

Then he continued talking. "Do you mind if I ask if you find anything unusual with that kid Geo?"

"Geo? The boy we ushered here?"

"Yes,that boy, what had you observe along the way when you where together that night as your bring chase by the giant mosquitoes.?" The Dean asks seriously.

"There was nothing unsual exept that he is an idiot" Bubbles Up told him.

"An idiot huh, Why did you say so?" Ask the Dean.

"When we were chase and arrive at the lake, I throw him first after that we follow to jump in the lake but it turned out to be a shallow part of the lake. And you know what was that boy doing? With the commotions he wake up and said," Who dares disturb my sleep?!"

The Dean can't help laughing as Bubles Up continued her story.

"So, I throw him to the deeper part of the lake and before he sunk to the bottom he was instantly swallowed by that SSS level beast. And since he was an idiot, he was unable to tell he was inside the belly of a beast and even decided to sleep and thinking that the commotions he heared as we were fighting were blacksmiths, miners and earthquakes., such an idiot." Bubbles said.

"Then how did he come out?" Asked the Dean.

"It was all thanks to our captain's cooking skills, if Hells Paradise did not cook the crab then I would have told my captain he died and I don't know we're his body is." Bubles Up cut her story to create a suspense.

"And what really happened?" Asked the Dean getting excited and curious as well.

"That idiot, He went out to eat after smelling a delicious aroma. He brought Horseman with him as well who was also swallowed by that giant beast." Bubles Up answered.

"Then tell me, how did the beast actually died? I'm not asking about the time you transformed? You told me that already."

"It was like being poisoned it was sucking its life force until it died." Answered Bubbles.

" I have no idea if there is that kind of poison that ever exists. Where is that boy? Did any candidates ever talk to you after the choices of hero names and masking was done?" Asked the Dean like it's a matter of importance.

"None" replied Bubbles Up.

"It turned out that he is not that stupid." The Dean say this and leave a sigh.

"By the way, have you look the Hero names of these candidates this year so far? There are lots of Bubbles in them. There is one that goes with Bubble Buff, there is Bubble Bomb, there is also Bubble Gum and another one is Bubble Blob." The Dean told her.

"It has nothing to do with me" she replied.

"Okey, sorry for I can't let you have the aptitude test. It's because your aura even if I choose to believe you, your aura remains a class S."

Bubbles Up fells sad after hearing this. "Then what is my condition? Is it a phenomenon?"

"It's more likely a kind of a last card wherein you need to meet the requirement first before that skill automatically triggered. And the requirement base on your story is to used all of your energy or undergo exhaustion." Explained the Dean.

"So right now, believed in yourself. You are now the most strongest S class hero." Said the Dean as an encouragement to Bubbles Up so that she won't lost hope as the shortest hero since the story of a hero who committed suicide has become a legend. It was told over and over again generations after a generations. He killed himself because he was left alone and no one was there to talk to him, to listens to him, to him some advice, to comfort him and to give him hope. And no one knows that hero is now here but has change a lot since he is born without emotions and does not know pain.

The candidates have been gathered at a diffent venue. Each one standing tall and mighty as they gathered at the foot of the Ladder of Fortitude.

"This time, we are here gathered at the ladder of fortitude to test your courage, your will, your perseverance, endurance and see how far can you go. Will anyone of you break the record again? The record holder holds the 98th step so far. He is no other than our Director himself." Told the Emcee Memo-rise.
