Chapter 8

An alarm is beeping in a sunny day, birds are singing, and the world feels fresh as ever, a hand presses against the alarm, and stops it, it's Edward, he just woke up due to the alarm. He rubs his eyes and yawns, stretches a bit, and gets up, he goes to the bathroom and brushes his teeth, he then goes down, and find his parents eating, waiting to have breakfast with their son.

Edward goes to the table, and sits beside his parents, he grabs some coffee, makes himself some bread with peanut butter, and enjoys his morning, he talks to his parents about how he'll become a hero, as he got powers, and he'll be able to help himself better now, as he'll be able to make a good ammount of money.

They talk for some time untill Edward hears a knocking on the door, he gets up and goes to the door, opens it, and finds his aunt standing there, she finally got home after staying a while out because of work, she asks on how he's doing, and if anyone is home as she heard him talking to someone, and Edward looks back to the table, a empty table with a chair, good memories never go away.

Edward welcomes her back and says he was talking to a friend over the phone, and that it was nothing to worry about, as she goes inside he asks how everything went, and she responds saying that it all went fine, she even got to get a free dinner because of the exceptional job she had done, and even some surprise chocolate from her friends, she asks back how things went for Edward while she was gone, he smiles and says that things went alright, and that he has something very important to tell her.

The aunt sits down and gets herself some coffee, while Edward starts to talk about how a life changing event occurred in his life, she asks what it is while talking a sip of the coffee, and he responds with "well.. i got powers!" He grins while saying it out loud, pretty happy at himself.

The coffee comes out of her mouth like a waterfall, as this was something very surprising, she asks how it happened, and he says that even he doesn't know, as he doesn't remember quite well how it all happened for some reason, it was just a very weird experience, but what matters is that he can become a hero now. The aunt warns him about the fact that being a hero wouldn't be easy or safe at all, and if he wants to become one, he would have lots of responsibility, since he would have to risk his life to protect others depending on ehat could happen.

Edward explains how the organization that gives these jobs to heroes has different levels of dangers, and they would be separated depending on how skilled the hero is, and their energy scale, he explains it quite well since he researched a bit about it, and wants to sign up to be a hero, but they won't let him until he has a mentor, and at least 1 year of training, so he would have to wait a minimium of 1 year to even sign up first, but he says he talked to the organization's support contact from the site, and they will find someone to assist him, that way he could start training and become a hero.

The aunt lets out a sigh and says that she will be praying for him, and asks for him to take care of himself, and stay away from dangerous stuff, wich Edward nods and smiles, saying that he's very happy to be able to do something like this, but he'll need a partner, wich obviously he thinks of taking Rockie, but first he would need to talk to him about it, and it's still in the morning, and Rockie probably isn't awake at this time.

Edward says he has to go, waves and says bye to his aunt, wishing her good luck with her day, and saying he'll be back later, smiling at her, as she was one of few people, who could make him feel like he's back at home.
