Chapter 5: Growing Suspicions

Tilda\'s phone began to ring, and she picked it up once she recognized the caller ID. The person on the other end of the phone was her handler from the Phoenix guild that she worked under. She was an E-rank superhuman in charge of handling the papers and press conferences that Tilda had to do. Her name was Riri.

[Tilda! I heard you went to go and fight against a monster! What were you thinking!? You\'re in another city, and the paperwork is going to be crazy! They might even make up a signed affidavit because of you! You should have called for help from someone who was in the area!]

Tilda put her phone away from her ear the moment that Riri started screaming and she winced at how loud it was! Riri was always so loud, and she spoke at a speed of four words a second when she was really angry! Tilda could bet that that speed was some sort of world record! Tilda knew that coming here to fight would be a problem, but Riri didn\'t have to deafen her because of it!

"Calm down, Riri. I spoke to the mayor, and he said it was fine. We only have to deal with about seventy percent of the usual paperwork. It\'s still a lot but just live with it. Something strange happened here."

Once Tilda said this, Riri forced herself to calm down and listen. Tilda hardly ever spoke in such a serious tone, and Riri knew that there must be something really serious if she was talking like this! Riri was still irritated that Tilda thought seventy percent of the paperwork wasn\'t a lot, but since this situation sounded so serious, Riri was willing to let her anger go for now and listen.

Riri asked what was wrong, and Tilda looked down at the monster she just killed as she narrated what happened to Riri. Riri was left stunned as she heard about how the monster allowed itself to be killed after sending a part of itself into the sea! What in the world was the meaning of that!?

[Do you think it means anything? It\'s possible it just wanted to send its child out so the child could grow. Or maybe that is its real body?]

Tilda immediately shot down that idea once Riri said it. She would have known if that was the real body because this body would not be able to function without that one. And who would send out their child in that way!? It almost looked like the monster was sending out a sentry. Or even worse, a messenger!

That thing could have been a messenger that is taking a message back to another place!

"There\'s something strange going on here, and I don\'t like it. I want you to send some reinforcements. I\'m not sure if my hunch is right, but if it isn\'t, then I\'ll reimburse them for the wasted time. Just send anyone above C rank that the guilds in this city can spare."

Riri was stunned again. Is the situation really that serious? Tilda didn\'t say anything more, and she just cut the call after telling Riri what she needed to say. Tilda then jumped to the top of a tall container overlooking the sea and sat down on top of it before placing her sword across her lap as she watched the ocean.

This was how she would remain for the next twelve hours straight.

Tilda was trained in how to use the sword, and she was already a swordswoman before even becoming a superhuman! She understood the importance of being able to stay still for a long time, and she was willing to stay here for as long as it took so she wouldn\'t allow her ignorance to cost the people of this city anything!

...

The next day, Mark woke up in a large bed as the first rays of light came through his curtain. Mark sighed and sat up in bed before getting off in one fluid motion. His well-toned and muscular body was on display as he only wore boxers to go to sleep and as he stretched his muscles rippled and tensed along with him! He walked towards his walk-in bathroom, brushed his teeth, and took his bath before coming out and starting to prepare for school!

Mark\'s phone rang as he was trying to put on his trousers, and he picked it up without even bothering to look at the caller ID. He already knew who it was. There was only one person who would even think to call him this early in the morning!

"Don\'t you sleep? How can you be calling me this early in the morning and expect me to answer you?"

On the other side of the call, Pat\'s haughty voice hummed as the sound of clacking from a keyboard could be heard. Pat completely disregarded what Mark said, and he didn\'t bother to answer! Mark should know by now that Pat was not like all those other normies! Pat did his best work when he was awake from nine at night to ten in the morning! That was the time when world-changers did their own work!

From how fast Pat was typing, Mark knew that he was probably playing an online game or something! The idiot would always stay up late claiming that he was doing world-changing work, but he was only playing online games all the time! Mark could only wonder how Pat was able to do everything he did and still have time to play so many games!

Pat spoke up from the other end of the phone in that same broad and haughty tone that he always used.

[I have something about that attack I called you for yesterday. Turns out the Yellow Phantom took care of it easily. She managed to minimize the casualties, and they only need to repair the docks for them to continue operations now. But there\'s something strange about all of this. Yellow Phantom never left the docks after killing the monsters. In fact, I can still see her sitting on one of the containers right now.]

Pat turned his head towards the adjacent scene beside his gaming screen and narrowed his eyes at the image of Tilda sitting perfectly still on one of the containers and looking towards the sea. Pat did not know what she was doing, and he didn\'t understand why she was still there! The only thing he could do was wait for her to do something so he would know more.

Mark raised a brow in surprise as Pat told him about the Yellow Phantom. What was Yellow Phantom still doing at the docks? There was no need for her to stay there since Pat said she had taken care of the monster already! Was she injured? No, that isn\'t possible. I don\'t think she would be injured by a monster that she could kill this easily. There is no reason for her to stay there unless she thinks that there is still another monster.

"You think there\'s something bigger going on? Maybe she saw another monster somewhere, and she is waiting for reinforcements while making sure the monster doesn\'t leave her sight?"

Mark could only think that there was something they were missing. They didn\'t have the full story, so they would never know what was really going on unless they asked Yellow Phantom herself.

Bang!

"Mark! Are you still in bed? We have to get to school soon! – Why are you not dressed!"
