She took his hand and lifted herself up. She looked at the man Infront of her with a twitching eye, "It's unfair to just evolve mid fight. How the hell are you so strong!?"
"I was just leveling the playing field, how was i supposed to know if become so overwhelmingly powerful. Oh, by the way, I believe this belongs to you." I said the last part while putting the mask back on her face and giving the mask a kiss.
"Wha- what the hell are you doing?!" Hinata was blushing profusely. She was so glad that this wasn't her body.
While I was enjoying the blushing expression on her face, I asked myself the very same question she asked me, "Why am I so strong though?"
"I have a theory." Leon walked into view with a scared Shizu behind his back, " When you were a saint, you were already at the strength equating to a true hero. Now that you've become a true hero as well as a divine being. Your strength is not something that can be measured by ordinary standards."
Hinata seemed thoughtful at this revelation, " That's interesting but…" She raised her sword to Leon's neck, "… give me Shizu or die."
"You seem adamant about this outcome, I wonder if Simon wil-" they all looked to the side to find the newly awakened hero was completely gone.
Leon just sighed, "Go ahead."

"Miss Velzard, what are you doing here." Nyx asked to the surprise of her father's… lover? Appearing in the room. She seemed so ecstatic which narrowed down the reason to her visit pretty clearly, " Did you feel it as well?"
She nodded her head vigorously, " Yes yes!" She sat down next to me with excitement.
"And… you aren't gonna go to him?" Amanises responded while eating a giant salamander.
" No I want to wait for him to come back and congratulate him here."
"Huh, dad said you were a selfish and prideful person. I can't believe he changed you so much." Nyx said in a teasing tone.
Velzard was struggling to report and just gave in, "I'd feel insulted by that if it weren't for the fact that he gave me a lot of self-awareness and I knew everything you said was true."
"Ha, so is Guy gonna come aswell?" Amanises finished up her meal and asked while cuddling up to Velzard.
"No, despite being a very doting teacher, he's too proud to come and congratulate him in purpose. He's gonna wait until Simon visits him."
" Doesn't he know Simon would just predict that and not visit him out of sadistic pleasure?"
" That's what I told him, but I know that he's gonna break at some point and come fawn over Simon's newfound awakening." Velzard then came to a realization, " Now that I think about it, Guy changed more than me from Simon's influence."

Shizu was walking beside the masked hero with extremely complicated emotions. No one could blame, after all, both her lord and teacher had both abandoned her.
Her lord who had summoned her to this world, separated her from her mother and then forced some creature into her, killing any friend she ever made…
…Except for her teacher, someone who was always there for her when she was sad, someone who always was so passionate about he's work to the point it could be considered insanity. Despite his unstable mental, his bright smile always warmed her day… and, just like Leon, he had just let her be taken away.
"Is there something that you wanted?" Shizu heard the voice of the hero and looked in the direction that she was looking at. There stood the man who had just awakened, seemingly waiting for them.
"Apologies, for leaving so abruptly but I didn't want interrupt… the script." The man pulled out a very gentlemanly persona, "But there is something I want from you both still."
"I was technically the loser so you have the right to demand anything from me."
"Well then maybe I can partake in more crude acts." I say well looking her body up and down.
"Um ok." To my surprise, she was quite compliant and began undressing. Shizu blushed and only had one thought on her mind, 'Big.'
When she looked up, she was surprised to see me holding back from bursting out laughing, "Did I do something wrong?"
I couldn't hold back anymore, I completely broke down, " I was- I was kidding, hahaha!"
" So you don't want to procreate with me?"
" Tempting but no. Don't put your shirt back on though." I walked up to her while pulling out a plate like device that strapped to her chest… an infons matrix… again.
When it turned on, she felt something entangle with her soul that began directly messing with her unique skill, I saw the wary, almost hostile look on her face, " Don't worry, I'm not doing anything untowards to you." Her hostility vanished, not just from my word but the device on her chest short-circuited.
" It seems that thing can't execute it's functions properly."
"It was expected." He said while pulling a hard drive out of it, " This is what I wanted."
" Um, Mr Simon." Both me and Hinata looked down, " Do you… hate me?" Shizu said through waves of sobs.
My eyes widened immensely and I felt a pang of pain puncture my heart, "What! Oh no no no, Shizu I don't hate you." I kneeled down to her level and and calmed the child before me, "It's just, I believe going with the hero will be better for you. And I didn't mean to make you feel like this."
" Mr Simon will you come visit me." Shizu said hopeful, the gleam in her eyes quivering from anticipation.
"Sorry, but for now, I think it's best you stay in the care of this beautiful lovely hero." Shizu giggled from my statement that made Hinata blush.
Shizu's expression grew solemn, "ok, I'm sorry that I couldn't be good enough for you." Despite her her solemn state, she tried to pull off the best smile she could possibly pull off.
I felt my heart break at her attempt at smiling, "Oh, don't be upset Shizu. This isn't goodbye, it's just… till our next communion."
