With Great Power Comes Great Responsibilty

Chapter 30

Black Demon continued to terrorize various scientists and doctors. Red Dragon and Blue Tiger managed to save most of his victims but there were a few unfortunate events where they just couldn't get to them in time. It made both of them feel so guilty and frustrated especially when they would come so close to capturing Black Demon only for him to easily slip away from them.

"This really sucks." Gray told Natsu as they walked to Professor Clive's class one morning.

"I know. Just what does this freak want?" Natsu replied. "To wipe out every scientist and doctor in the whole city?"

"Looks like it the only question is why?"

"Your guess is as good as mine. It would help if we had a good idea of who this guy was."

"Well we can discuss it later. Come on we better get to class."

At the end of Gildarts's class, Gray saw his roommate Lyon looking very upset and angry. So before meeting up with Natsu he decided to see what was bothering him.

"What's the matter with you Lyon?" Gray asked.

"My professor failed the essay I wrote on my father's company." He said angrily. "Apparently the words I used weren't intelligent enough or descriptive enough."

"Bummer. Who do you have?"

"Professor Lancer."

"Oooo...Yeah he's a jerk."

"That's the problem with professors and scientists, they think you're stupid if you're not as smart as them. My dad is gonna murderlise me for this grade."

"Why don't you ask him to do a rewrite of it?" 

"No point. He'll probably just fail me even if I do it again the right way. I swear he has it in for me."

"What makes you say that?"

"He thinks I'm a stupid little rich boy who got into this school because of my father's money not because of my brains."

"Don't let him get to you Lyon he's probably just jealous because in the end you'll make more money than he ever could."

"Still someone should really teach him a lesson."

"Well that someone can't be us. If we try anything we'll be expelled."

"I know. Hey listen Gray I gotta go to my next class. See you later?"

"Yeah."

Lyon left and Gray went to meet Natsu to discuss their plans for their classes, their hero business, and their social life.

"I got great news bro." Natsu said. "I meant to tell you last night but I forgot to tell you."

"What is it?"

"I have a date with Lucy."

"Seriously? No way! Wait a minute is this actual a date or is this really just a study session that you're calling a date?"

"Um...Well technically it's a guy and girl being alone for the evening while doing an activity."

Gray raised his eyebrow in skepticism. 

"Alright it's a study date."

"A study date? So in other words no date at all. You're just studying."

"It's a date."

"No it's not."

"It could be a date."

"But it's not. Face facts Natsu you're just a tutor to her and nothing more."

"I can dream can't I?"
