The Anti-Hero
Chapter 4: Subordinate I


Van walked back to the tree and rested himself and closed his eyes


...An Hour Later...


Van opened his eyes, looking at the time it had been afternoon and realizing most of the prospective students of the academy had woken up from his stupor


"All right, here's the result of the fight, look!" said the Head of the Academy while flicking his finger


Then a hologram screen appeared and revealed the class rank


Champions 1 - 100 enter class S


Champions 101 - 250 enter class A


The 251-500 champions entered the B class


The 501-800 champion entered the C class


The 801-1200 champion entered the D class


The 1201-1600 champion entered the E-class


The 1601-2000 champion entered the F class


And Van certainly entered class S with the order of rank 1


Van rank amazed everyone and no one was surprised because Van had proven his strength during the fight


"Alright, you must be tired from the gamble earlier, so please go to your dormitory to rest....


Class S goes to dormitory level S, class A goes to dormitory level A and so on" the Head of Academy said


Van and the others followed the direction of the Headmaster and went to the dormitory


While on the trip, Van sees an F-level dormitory and has facilities comparable to 3-star hotels in his previous life


After a few minutes of travel, Van finally arrived at the S-level dormitory


A satisfied expression appeared on Van's flat face as he looked at the S-level dormitory in front of him


Facilities like this are quite amazing and can be said to be very luxurious


Van entered the S-level dormitory and saw several people walking in the dormitory lobby


Van's arrival causes people who are walking to turn their attention to Van


"Hey that's a strange face, do you know him?"


"No, is he an A-level dormitory resident straying into an S-level dormitory?"


"Is he a new academy student? Today is the day of the new student's reception"


"Yes you're right, it looks like he's a first-year student"


Van ignored the gaze directed at him and walked towards the service service


"What's the name?" said a middle-aged woman to Van


'Strong, at least ranked in the top 100 among heroes' thought Van


"Van Black" replied Van lightly


"Van Black yah" muttered the middle-aged woman


"BLACK?!" said the middle-aged woman with a surprised tone in her voice


The middle-aged woman's voice though was not big yet was enough to be heard echoing in the lobby


"Hey hey are you kidding me?"


"Van Black's? hero boy #1 (ranked 1)?!"


"Where's my room" asked Van with a flat face


"I'm sorry, on the 8th floor, room number 801" said the middle-aged woman


Van nodded in response and walked towards the elevator


...----------------...


"801... 801.. meet" muttered Van while looking for his room.


Van then attached his fingerprint to the fingerprint sensor


After that, a 15 cm thick iron door opened and Van entered his room


...[.Welcome, Master Van]...


...[.My Introduction A.I.]...


...[.Smart Waiter Ready to serve you]...


"I.I. fill the bathtub with warm water" said Van


...[.Good Master]...


Van then walked to the bathroom and saw the bathtub was filled with water


Without lingering, Van took off his clothes and soaked in the bathtub


Van enjoys soaking in the bathub and unknowingly falls asleep


...----------------...


Van opened his eyes and regained consciousness after he heard A.I's voice.


...[.Masters]...


...[.Soaking more than 1 is not good for your health]...


Van finally got up from the bathtub and dried his body and put on his special clothes


Note: a black long-sleeved outfit, black training pants, a long to knee black blazer with a head covering, and a black cloth that covers the underside of the eyes to the neck


Van then walked out of his room through the window and climbed onto the roof of the dormitory


Van's vision finally spread and he could see three second and third year academy students bullying a first year student


After a 15-minute drive, Van finally arrives and hides behind a wall


Van saw 3 second and third year academy students who were ugly were bullying first year students who were very beautiful



"Hey hey, what's the first year? A person without [Skill] like you still dares to go to the academy?"


"Yes, just because of your pretty face, a lot of guys look at you even my idol looks at you"


"Truly I'd love to ruin that pretty face of yours"


Eventually one of them took a knife and tried to damage the beautiful face of the first-year schoolgirl


"Stop, please stop, I didn't do anything to you" the first-year student begged in tears


But his application was not published at all and the second or third year students


The first-year student stared at the approaching knife on her face with fear


As the knife drew closer, a voice rang out that made the student stop


"Stop" a quiet voice sounded


"Who?" their response


Then a figure appeared in all-black clothes that covered his entire body except for the eyes


Seeing this figure, one of the three students became frightened


"Me-why is he here?!"


"Hey what's going on?"


"Why are you scared?"


"Did you not see the news? It's [Darkness] the hero killer"


"Gosh"


The figure is none other than Van running to take the knife in the hands of one of the students


After reaching for the knife, Van swung the knife towards the neck of the student who had been holding the knife


The knife then tore the girl's neck and blood flowed out


The student tried to cover his wound with his hand but his efforts were in vain


Eventually he fell to the ground and his vitality was completely depleted


After which, a fireball of 2 meters appeared from behind Van


Van then jumped up and threw the knife in his hand at the student who threw the fireball at him


The knife then stuck in the student's head


The student was shocked by Van's attack but before he could come to his surprise, he fell and died


As for the one remaining student currently falling over and staring at Van in fear


Van then walked up to him and made him even more frightened


"Don't, don't kill me"


Upon arriving in front of the schoolgirl, Van crouched down and the schoolgirl could see Van's cold, flat and emotionless eyes as if the murder just now had no impact on her


"Hey listen to me, when the police come, tell me that you killed them...


If you don't say it, then I'll torture you to the point that you want to ask for death, okay?" van said in a flat and threatening voice


The student nodded and Van hit her stomach


The excessive pain made the woman fall unconscious without having time to scream in pain


Van then turned around and looked at the first-year student who was staring blankly at the corpse that Van had just killed


Noticing Van's gaze, the woman also turned to look at Van


"What's wrong? You want to kill me? Just kill me anyway my death doesn't have any effect"


"Tell me your name" said Van


The student was stunned to hear Van's words but regained his senses after a while


"Alice, without a last name because my parents dumped me" the student said


"Alice. If you were given a second chance, would you take it? Take all your revenge, prove that you're useful" Van asked


"If there's such a thing, then I'll accept it" Alice said


Van nodded at Alice's response then injured her finger and touched Alice's forehead


After that, Van's blood flowed out and was absorbed into Alice's forehead


Alice instantly felt a strange force spreading across her body and her body filled with power


...[.Subordinate #1 - Alice - Telekinesis]...


[Telekinesis]: The ability to control an object with the power of thought


Van also felt the changes in his body and could feel the same sensation during [Skill's] awakening while in the [Resurrection Hall]


Along with the new [Skill] awakening, Van can also feel the connection between himself and Alice


He felt that he could know what Alice was thinking, where He was, and could even control the actions He was doing. Even whatever Van says will always be a command for Alice


As for Alice at this moment was speechless as she felt her [Skill] awakened and looked at Van in surprise


Without her own wishes, Alice suddenly knelt down on Van


"From now on, forget about your identity, leave the academy. But your home is now an organization [Dark Shadow]" Van said in a flat tone


"Good Master" Alice said involuntarily and left to move away from the academy
