CHAPTER 6.2

Saki

I walked away as the monster began babbling about something I didn't bother to understand. I stood over Genos who laid on his non-existent stomach as the rain pour down. "Damn sweetie, you sure got beaten up. Are you water proof? I'm worried this rain might make you worse." I said and kneeled beside him.

"Y-Yes..." I breathed a sigh of relief at his reply. That's good news, one thing crossed out off my worry list.

I carefully set him at his back and tried to make him sit, facing the upcoming battle. I know how much he wants to see Nii-chan's battles. My arm supported his shoulder, trying to avoid the bones that's been keeping his upper and lower body intact.

The monster is still ranting about something when it got interrupted by my brother. I didn't heard exactly what he said, but this made the sea freak attack, its fist aimed at the hero. Nii-chan immediately countered with his punch, a hole etching itself on the monster's body. The rain stopped as well due to the punch's impact. The fight didn't even last a minute, if ever that's still considered a fight. That sea freak is outmatched.

A smirk made its way to my lips at the sight and it grew wider as cheers erupted from the civilians in the shelter. Genos also released a proud smile and glanced at me. I winked at him and my eyes went back to the guy whose shoulders went up and down. I shook my head. He's probably disappointed about that fight. The people are cheering behind him and he's over there ignoring them while moping that 'fight'.

I glanced at the mob crowding at the hole on the shelter. I can hear them praise on how Nii-chan was super strong that he beat the monster with a single punch.

"Or maybe... the monster wasn't really that tough?" A nasal voice resonated in the crowd. My smiled dropped the moment I heard that. The people instantly went quiet as they looked behind them.

"Yeah, but so many heroes went down." One of them reasoned.

"That just means those heroes are weaklings." I craned my neck and tried to search for whoever owns that voice. I don't like how his voice sounded superior like everything that comes out of his mouth is the truth and only the truth. And it's grating on my ears.

"Maybe... I suppose the monster didn't look all that tough when he killed it." One guys trailed off that made my eyebrow rise up towards the heaven. Say what?! Are they actually agreeing to that bastard? Who the hell was it? I can't freaking see with those people blocking my view.

"After all, a Class C hero took it out with a single punch. What's that say about the heroes it beat? They may call themselves Class A or Class S, but their titles don't mean a thing." I bit my lip at that. I kinda agree with the titles don't meant anything but the way he implied it annoys me. Plus that voice. Can it get more irritating?

Other civilians argued about the matter but the little shit just kept on blabbing about how risking one's life is an easy thing to and it's no biggie, but we heroes should beat monsters and protect people. What kind of mindset is that? Risking lives is no biggie? How about I risk his life with a kick?

I felt my hands twitched in desire to crush something. I heard Genos gasp beneath me and a crunch, but I ignored it. I could hear my own heart beating and blood rushing through my veins. I grit my teeth as I tried to pull myself together.

One of the civilians seemed to had enough and tried to make that bastard stop but he just kept on spouting about how we are paid to protect them. But because of Nii-chan killing the monster by himself, the heroes who tried to fight it first died for nothing and did nothing "heroic". Damn, I see his voice can get more irritating. I felt Genos shifted in my hold as I let every string of my patience become undone.
