Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 377

Chapter 377: Are You Really A High Schooler? II
‘We should have escaped with the crowd earlier.’

Greg thought this as he cursed internally. There was a large crowd of people running towards the bunker earlier, and Greg only stayed behind because he wanted to check up on Arit. If they had run with those people, then they wouldn’t be in this situation.

Selina pointed her gun at Greg’s forehead and Greg felt sweat gather on his neck as he wondered what sort of gun that was. A normal bullet would never hurt him, but with how confident Selina looked while holding it, it was obvious that the gun was not normal. Was it a part of her blessing?

Selina’s hand hovered over the trigger threateningly.

“I’m going to count to three and if you still don’t comply, I’m going to start dropping bodies. One… Two…”

“Run!”

Greg shouted out to his wife as he dashed towards Selina at full speed! His wife wasted no time as she reached down to carry Talia and George followed behind her as they turned to run in the opposite direction! Greg knew that he couldn’t do much against Selina since she was obviously stronger than him, but that did not mean he would just stand by and allow his family to be hurt! The only thing that Greg was confident in was his speed, so if he could get to Selina faster than she could react, then he might have a chance to catch her off guard and give his wife enough time to get away!

But Greg seriously underestimated the abilities of an S rank! Selina’s eyes easily followed Greg’s movement and she frowned in irritation as she moved her gun away from him and fired!

Bang!

Greg’s eyes widened in shock and he felt dread fill his entire body once he noticed that the bullet wasn’t headed for him! With how fast he was moving, it was almost like the bullet was moving in slow motion and his eyes followed the bullet’s trajectory as it passed him and raced for the person behind him! It was going to hit his wife!

Crack!

The ground under Greg’s feet cracked as Greg suddenly forced himself to stop! Greg turned quickly and poured all of his power into his legs as he blasted off the ground faster than the bullet! Everything seemed to still be moving in slow motion for Greg as he reached his hand out desperately to his wife! His face was contorted in fear and his vision was so focused on his wife that he didn’t even notice when he overshot the bullet easily! Greg closed the distance to his wife in less than 0.2 seconds, but with how quickly the bullet was moving, the only thing that he could do was grab her in a hug as the bullet struck him in the back!

KA-BOOM!

A massive explosion echoed through the hallway! James and Talia were thrown to the ground and blood sprayed through the corridor as the explosion propelled Greg’s body through a new hole on the other side of the hallway, exposing the forest behind the hotel.

“MUM! DAD!!”

James rushed to his feet as his parents were both thrown through the building wall and out into the forest. He was about to run after them, but Selina suddenly began walking towards him and Talia while checking her gun. James was torn between leaving to check on his parents and protecting Talia. Talia was looking up at Selina in fear, and James knew that if he left now, Talia wouldn’t stand a chance against Selina on her own.

James bit his lip and stood his ground as his eyes narrowed into a nervous glare. He desperately wanted to go and check on his parents, but his dad would be disappointed in him if he abandoned Talia. Talia looked up at James in shock and asked him what he was doing. Although James’s entire body was screaming at him to run, he still managed to give her a shaky smile.

“I told you I was going to be a hero, didn’t I? Mom and Dad will be okay, I know they will. So I’ll protect you.”

Selina walked forward calmly while checking her gun to make sure there were no jammed bullets. Selina knew that firing at Greg wouldn’t work. He moved too fast, so it would be easy for him to dodge the bullet if she fired directly at him. But since he was willing to sacrifice himself for his family, it would be difficult for him to ignore a family member in danger.

Selina couldn’t fire at Talia because she needed her alive, and even though she was not the kindest person in the world, she still found it hard to shoot at children, so she fired at Greg’s wife instead. That way, she would be able to get rid of both Greg and his wife at the same time. Selina looked down and saw James glaring up at her and she clicked her tongue in irritation as she ignored him. She could tell that he was a superhuman, but he wasn’t anything worth worrying about.

Instead, she turned to Talia and spoke in a hard tone.

“Alright, kid, we’re gonna go on an excursion. Don’t be a pain in the ass and just follow me quietly.”

…

Name: Selina Herald

Race: Human

Rank: S

Potential: A

Description: A superhuman blessed by Ares, the god of war and destruction. She possesses the unique ability to detonate her mana once it has been ejected from her body. This detonation is completely automatic and occurs the moment her mana comes in contact with a foreign object. Her fighting style involves the infusion of her mana into bullets, grenades, and other military weapons, which she can use to create extremely destructive attacks when unleashed. She was once a member of the army, but she did not see much of a future for herself in the army and left after gaining her powers in order to make more money.

Affiliation: Unlawful Evil.

…

Talia was kneeling behind James, and she was also glaring at Selina in anger as she refused to move! Selina raised an eyebrow as she saw this and sighed internally, knowing that Talia was going to make things difficult. She just wanted to get in and out of here without any stress. Just one job where everything went the way she wanted it to; was that so hard to ask for?

“Kid, you either come with me yourself, or I’ll tie you up and drag you along. It’s your choice.”

Talia still didn’t move. But even though no one could tell, Talia’s mana was currently pouring out from her body in a very thin wave that was traveling through the hotel. Talia knew that there was only one chance for her to get out of there, and that was if she could get to Teddy. James wouldn’t be able to hold Selina back for even a few seconds, but Teddy would be able to put up a good fight. Teddy was on the other side of the hotel currently, and Talia could only barely feel its connection to her through her mana. If she could just send out a message, then Talia was sure it would come and save them!

On the other side of the hallway, Arit stood opposite George while breathing heavily. George’s eyes trailed down Arit’s body, and he grinned and whistled.

“That GHOST really knows how to pick his girls. I mean, seventeen’s a bit too young for me, but I would’ve never been able to tell your age without reading your records. Your body is positively banging.”
