Helios Rising Heroes - Sing in the Darkness 3
Chapter 40:
Akira: Shocked the hell outta me! Overflow isn’t something that can be done easily after all.
Akira: Hehe, isn’t that great, Sage♪
Sage: A-ahaha….I wonder? It seems like it occurred at the last second, so it might just be a coincidence.
Jude: Keep learning to master it. I want to fight you while you’re wielding Overflow.
Sage: Eeeh!?
Bianchi: You don’t have to deal with this guy, but if you’re capable of using Overflow, it’s probably a good idea to hone it.
Bianchi: It used to be called dangerous, but they’ve recently developed a cure for it, right?
Bianchi: If so, you should view it as a strength. As Akira-chan said, it’s not something everyone is capable of.
Sage: Y-yeah that’s right, isn’t it…..
Nico: Sage, will you take the entrance exam again?
Sage: Eh…….
Nico: The entrance exam for the Anti-Eclipse Unit. If you can wield Overflow, you might just pass next time.
Jude: If you need to prepare for the exam, I’ll gladly accompany you.
Bianchi: Well, even within the Anti-Eclipse Unit, there aren’t many heroes capable of using Overflow.
Akira: Anti-Eclipse Unit…. god, that sounds rad! I wanna join too~!
Will: Akira, don’t interrupt them unnecessarily, alright?
Bianchi: Mm, fufu, so cute ♡
Sage: About that, though…….
Sage: It’s true that after failing the previous exam, I was determined to try again.
Sage: I was hoping I could work with Nico, Bianchi-san and Jude-kun again, but…..
Sage: Over the past few days, I’ve been reflecting on a lot of things..... and I’ve come to the conclusion that I want to take a slightly different path.
Nico: ….What kind of path?
Sage: I haven’t decided on the specifics yet but….
Sage: I think I want to be the kind of person who can guide others.
Nico: Someone who can guide others…..
Bianchi: You mean like Robin was to you and us…..?
Sage: Mm, that’s right.
Jude: In other words, you’re aiming to become a mentor?
Sage: I wonder…? I don’t really know yet. It’s not an easy thing, and I think it requires certain skills…….
Akira: I think Sage has what it takes.
Will: Again, Akira….
Will: Although, I feel the same way. Sage-san has already taught us a rookies a lot as a senior member of South Sector….
Will: I think you’ll definitely make a great mentor!
Sage: Akira-kun….Will-kun……
Bianchi: That’s true. Sei-chan, you're good at finding people’s strengths; I think it’s a good fit for you as well.
Jude: It’s an area I have zero interest in, but Sage is the kind of guy who jumps into these things on his own.
Nico: Mm, I support you, too.
Sage: You guys…….
Nico: I’m glad you found a path you want to pursue on your own.
Sage: Yes…thank you… though it’ll be a little lonely to think it won’t be the four of us working together anymore.
Bianchi: Come now, they’re just different departments. We’re all still heroes of Helios and we’ll all continue seeing each other.
Jude: That’s right. Even when Bianchi is absorbed in their work for the design department, I can always feel their presence.
Bianchi: Could you maybe not say creepy things? ….Don’t tell me you’ve been eavesdropping or anything?
Jude: ………….(^.w^)
Bianchi: Wait, please answer that!?
Sage: Ahaha…….
Nico: Sage, could I have you for a moment?
Sage: Hm, what’s up, Nico?
Nico: ……When I investigated Robin earlier, I restored the data from the tablet he was using.
Nico: I was looking back at it the other day, and found some new data…….
Sage: Eh…….
