My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—
Chapter 244 Beast Dimension ExcursionA few moments later.
Jean Grey and Jack (Star Spangled) sat opposite each other by a makeshift campfire. With Jean Grey's help, Jack escaped the feral White Lionesses and now they ate skewers together, catching up on their lives since they haven't met each other for so long.
And yes, this wasn't the first time Jean Grey and Jack met in the Beast Dimension. That's also the sole reason why Jack wasn't the least bit surprised when Jean Grey came to his rescue. The two of them have met a couple of times in the Beast Dimension so they weren't complete strangers to each other.
"What are you doing here?" Jean Grey asked, casually handing Jack a skewer before digging into one himself. "Last time you were trying to catch a Slime, right?"
Jack nodded. After receiving the skewer from Jean, he then handed him a cup of tea from his thermos. "Actually I've been looking into something else. I wanted to catch an Altered Type."
The comment made Jean Grey's eyes light up in excitement as he wore the biggest smile on his face. "Wait... are you going Altered Type hunting? You're going Altered Type hunting, right? Which beast, in particular, are you going to hunt?"
Seeing Jean Grey's reaction also lit up a fire within Jack and he was more fired up than ever to start the hunt. "It's a White Lion. I'm looking for an Altered Type White Lion. Of course, if I find an Altered Type of another beast before then, then I'll catch it. I'm not really particular when it comes to taming beasts but if I get to choose. I'd want to have an Altered Type White Lion."
"An Altered Type White Lion, huh, this is going to be pretty hard." Jean Grey rubbed his chin. As someone who had been to the Beast Dimension a couple of times. He knew just where almost all the beasts are gathered. That's why as soon as Jack mentioned the White Lion, he immediately went through the Beast Dimension map in his mind and marked the place where White Lions could be found.
"Yeah, I know how rare White Lions are. It would be next to impossible to find an Altered Type but I won't give up." Jack clenched his fists. "I've seen an Altered Type White Lion in person. It's as white as snow and it had the fluffiest mane in the world."
"Whoa~! Wait?! If you've already seen one then why didn't you tame it?" Jean Grey was almost frustrated more than he was surprised. "If I were you, I'd have stuck to taming it no matter what... even if I died!"
A sigh came out of Jack's mouth. He was crestfallen, to say the least. "Yeah, I'd have done so... if the Altered Type White Lion didn't belong to someone else. You see, that White Lion I've encountered was already tamed, and it was tamed by none other than a kid... specifically my rival's son."
Jack didn't stop there. He continued speaking. "Now, don't get me wrong, the son was formidable in his own ways but there was no chance he tamed that White Lion alone. I think he had a help of a team of superheroes... but I haven't found any leads so far."
"Wow, that boy is lucky. An Altered Type White Lion is not something you get to see every day." Jean Grey continued. "But I wanna ask something... "
"What is it?"
"Its mane... was it really the fluffiest in the world?" Jean Grey skeptically asked. There was no way an Altered Type White Lion really had the fluffiest mane in the world. That was just an absurd claim.
"Yes! I'm telling you! As soon as I saw the White Lion and mustered the courage to bury my face in its mane... uwahhh~ it's the most relaxing feeling in the world. You'll feel like your melting in its warmth and comfortableness."
"Whaaa~ I'd like to meet one." Jean Grey clenched his fists. "That's it! I've decided! I'm going to help you look for an Altered Type White Lion as well!"
"Yoshi~ I'll be counting on you then." Jack didn't waste any time extending his hand towards Jean Grey so he could shake it before he changed his mind.
In return, Jean Grey obliged, and together, they started hunting down Altered Types in the Beast Dimension in hopes that they'll find an Altered Type White Lion in the near future.
.....
A few days later.
Satoshi spun forward, unleashing a powerful punch toward his dad who had been dodging all his attacks ever since they started the training. He was getting rather desperate since the exercise entailed that he should hit his dad at least once. And as an additional hurdle, both of them were restricted from using their superpowers.
"That's some nice angle and acceleration right there, Satoshi, but you should know to expect your opponents' movements." Tatsuki pointed out, dodging to the right before ducking his head and charging forward, completely avoiding Satoshi who had thrown his body into his dad so his attack would be much faster.
There was no time to take a break. Without hesitation, Satoshi reached out his hand as he was falling headfirst to the floor. He then supported his whole body with his right hand, twisted his other hand, and abruptly changed his direction so he could charge at his dad once again before he could even take another step.
Caught off guard, Tatsuki stepped towards the side and rolled forward, completely avoiding Satoshi's hands and legs that flailed in a calculated manner
"Not bad... not good either." Tatsuki continued.
With a click of his tongue, Satoshi then went on all fours and encircled his dad, like a mad dog about to bite an unsuspecting victim. Tatsuki noticed the sudden shift in his son and he immediately put his guard up.
However, before Satoshi could unleash his next move, the panel right above the superhero lair opened, and down came Ayumu, who told everyone that it was time for breakfast.
"And that's a wrap. How many losses was it now?" Tatsuki said, extending his hand towards Satoshi. He then patted him on the head.
"I'm going to win next time," Satoshi replied.
Breakfast of eggs and toast was served. Aira and Emma, who were still staying in the house, ate together with everyone else. They've gotten used to the usual life as part of the Midoriyama Household and they couldn't be more comfortable with their adjustment— especially for Aira who was used to the hard life in the slums.
"One more week before the transfer exams, how are your preparations, Emma?" Ayumu asked out of the blue, pertaining to the transfer exams to the USA since Emma would want to study there in the next semester.
"I'm ready. I'm going to aim for the top." Emma simply responded. Just like Satoshi, she had also been receiving superhero training from Satoshi's mom and dad. That's why she couldn't be any more confident that she'll get to the top.
"I was also informed that there will be exchange students by next semester from America. It seems like top high schoolers wanted to experience life here in Japan. Keep your guard up, Emma, Satoshi, the world is wide and there are a lot of high schoolers stronger than you— just like there are a lot more superheroes who are stronger than me."
Emma and Satoshi nodded in response.
"But before that... the two of you are going to the Beast Dimension, right?" Ayumu then asked, remembering that they had a schedule to go into the Beast Dimension.
Emma nodded. "I managed to get a reservation for myself and Satoshi... but as it turned out some of his classmates would also go."
Now that Satoshi thought about it, he was aware of the existence of the Beast Dimension for quite some time now, and yet he had never seen a lot of superheroes with Beasts. If there really are strong beasts in the Beast Dimension, then surely a lot of superheroes should've gone in and tamed some, right?
But even now, Satoshi could count on one hand the number of superheroes who have their own familiars. "Dad, do you have a familiar with you?"
"That's right, why do you ask?" Tatsuki responded, much to Satoshi's surprise.
"Eh?! You have one? This is the first time I've heard of it though." Satoshi continued.
"Well, you never asked. Besides, my familiar right now is staying with your grandparents, helping them out. And also, I've only recently tamed that beast." Tatsuki then answered.
"Ah, so that's why, what kind of beast is he?"
"Ground Hound, a powerful earth-type beast from the Beast Dimension. Well, you'll see him soon enough." Tatsuki said, reminiscing the time when he first tamed the beast. "In any case, the two of you should go. You can't be late on your little excursion, you know."
