Lucian is an average college student who is obsessed with heroes. He would love to spend daily with the heroes just talking and laughing. He just wished to interact with one of them once. But then a package arrived in his mailbox one day, inviting h...
Aika gently placed her towel and blindfold to the side and stepped into the hot spring. She sat down in the quiet waters and rested her sore muscles, submerging herself so she would feel the cold breeze of the night.
"How's the water?" Trias asked, slipping into the hotspring as well.
"Delightful." Aika smiled as Trias sat down and put an arm around her.
"You know, I believe everything you say and I do believe the kid should be a hero but... Are you sure the same won't happen to him?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, he's got three eyes instead of one right? And the last person you met who had two eyes went completely insane. When he awakens, I don't think he'll even survive."
Aika considered this for a moment. The Cursed energy that she had was a little different from normal energy. Cursed energy was influenced by emotion and memory. For each person, the circumstances were different. For her, it didn't matter. But for most others, if the energy was unbalanced and emotions were too strong, they would either explode, implode, or kill themselves due to excruciating pain.
Aika touched her right eye. It had been blind since birth. Since she had no eye, she was not influenced by the power of the curse. However, anyone else who had an eye was. She sighed and sat onto Trias' lap, curling up in his warm embrace.
"I don't know what will happen. The best thing we can do is wait." Aika answered, "There's a chance he won't die, under the right circumstances. "
"Okay, just be safe." Trias held Aika's hand in his.
"Of course." Aika said, looking at the diamond ring on her ring finger.
The two hugged each other and soon began to kiss passionately in the warm waters and chilly night.
...
Lucian sat at the desk of his new room reading the notes that Aiak had handed him. He already knew everything by heart at this point. However, he did learn some new information.
There were close to 100 heroes in total. They all had their different traits and abilities, and somehow fell into one of the categories. Beast was the most common type and Divine was the rarest type.
"Looks like someone's very studious." A voice said at his door.
He turned to see Melodie at his doorway, her metallic tail clanking against the frame.(Forgot to mention that she has a tail)
"M-Melodie?!" Lucian blinked, he had been studying the entire day and he was tired.
"You forgot to shut your door." Melodie smiled and walked over to him, "Hey, have you ever been to a singing concert?"
"No...?"
"Well, are you interested in coming to a concert with me?" Melodie asked, waving a ticket in front of Lucian.
"I-I'd love to!" Lucian blushed.
"Sweet!" Meldie smiled and placed the ticket on his desk and began to walk for the door, "Oh yeah, get some sleep. Tomorrow's going to be rough if you don't."
"Okay..." Lucian said as Melodie stepped out.
Lucian blushed as he looked at the ticket. It was a concert for a singer called Clover. Clover?! That was a female pop star that was known to make people ecstatic just by listening to her songs. Lucian was also a big fan of her songs and listened to them all the time.
Lucian flopped onto his bed and went over the things that happened to him today. He couldn't be happier. He had seen ten heroes in one day! He had even been invited to a concert by his favorite hero too! Oh boy, he was heaven!
...
Ding dong! Ding dong! The doorbell of Lucian's door began ringing. He rose out of bed, did he fall asleep? When did he fall asleep? He wasn't so sure. He walked over and clicked a button to open the door. There he was greeted by Tinker.
"Hello! Rise and shine! It's time for breakfast!" She exclaimed cheerfully.
"Ah, thank you. I'll be there in a moment." Lucian nodded.
After she left and the door was shut Lucian went to a mirror and began combing his hair. Holy Crap! It was a mess! After finishing, he quickly set the comb down and made his way back to the door. He took a deep breath, reassuring himself that even if he had to go through difficult training, he would handle it just fine.
"Morning!" Melodie waved to him while spinning around in her levitating chair.
"H-hi!" He smiled.
He sat down at the long table and a bowl of ramen appeared in front of him. It looked like your everyday meal but the smell was heavenly. Lucian picked up a pair of chopsticks that were set for him and slipped a few of the noodles.
"Ah!" Lucian paused.
"Well?" Melodie asked, looking at him anticipatedly.
"It's amazing!" Lucian continued chowing down on the noodles.
"Looks like someone's hungry." Melodie chuckled.
"Me too! Me too! I'm hungry too!" Tinker smiled.
"Tinker, quiet down..." William groaned.
"Oh, sorry Will." Tinker sat back down.
"I'm glad you guys are conversing well." Aika teleported onto her chair.
Aika formed a few papers in her hands. She cleared her throat and began announcing the daily tasks.
"Today, we will have five assignments. Uriel, please go through the portal and go to Caelan, he said that he was having a problem with things going out of orbit."
To Lucian's knowledge, Caelan was another hero. He was a pale-skinned humanoid creature with blue tail feathers and long metal claws. His status and speed were the highest after Aika's. He was a Metal and Avian type, a Speedster, as well as an S class hero.
"Understood." Uriel nodded.
"Next, Cyrus. Please help the police with their technical issues with capturing that online criminal."
"Got it." Cyrus nodded.
"Liana, please help the architects construct the destroyed building in the city."
"On it." Liana assured Aika.
"Melodie, please help Vox gather his subjects. Apparently they got corrupted or something is what he reported."
Lucian knew of the hero Vox. He was smart and cunning; a master manipulator who tricked people into becoming his subjects. He was one of the villains that Aika had fought in the past. Apparently, she had even had a hard time during that battle. He had dark scleras, purple pupils, and slicked back black hair. He was a Dark type, Controller/Supporter, and an S class hero.
"Ugh, not him again... But okay." Melodie groaned.
"Last but not least, Lucian. After finishing your meal, immediately report to the training grounds."

Bonus:
"Who made this ramen?!" Lucian asked.
"Aika did." Melodie smiled.
