My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—-Chapter 37 One-Man Fight

Dex's arrival alongside Satoshi's familiar was heaven-sent, to say the least. It's as if a huge weight came off of Satoshi's chest as he instructed every Familiar of their role. While he did so, he continued attacking the Slime with his Lighter Familiar which is now in his possession. Just like how he defeated the previous Slime he fought, he bombarded it with columns of fire that the Lighter continuously spat out.

"Dex, I want you to contact the nearest hospital right now for an ambulance. White Lion, try to wake up Shiroi and have her temporarily cauterize Kuroe's wounds. Dex, I don't think the White Lion can speak so do the speaking for him. Windfan, you know what to do when I fall." Satoshi ordered while keeping the Slime at bay.

News about the Slime that slipped past the defenses of the superheroes was flashed in the news as soon as it was reported. When news reporters arrived at the scene, they immediately noticed the toppled school bus and everyone unconscious. One girl was impaled with a thick metal pipe and another student was trying to fight off the Slime. Everyone knew just how strong the Slime is and what its weaknesses are. They were relieved to see that the student facing the Slime in combat was somehow successful. It didn't take long before ambulances arrive at the scene, and by the time they did, Shiroi was already awake and she understood what Dex meant when he said 'cauterize'. Without further ado, she performed first-aid on Kuroe's wounds, snatching her away from death from blood loss.

And a few seconds later, Satoshi burned the last remains of the Slime. It didn't even stand a chance at the whitish-blue flames that the Lighter released. Even the superheroes who were currently fighting in the Slimes in space were surprised at how fast Satoshi defeated the Slime that slipped past their defenses. Fury was expecting a lot more damages to occur before the Slime was taken down but all that transpired were broken concrete and a toppled schoolbus... well, one should also mention a certain impaled student and include it on the list.

Kuroe was safely transferred to a stretcher after they've carefully removed the metal pipe onsite. It was an arduous task for the doctors since they had to cut out a huge portion of the metal pipe in order to transport Kuroe safely to the hospital.

"Satoshi, I'm glad you're all right." Kuroe wore a smile on her face amidst the excruciating pain she felt. Shiroi may have iced her wounds but the internal damage was more painful than ever.

"I can't believe we survived that one. Save your energy, Kuroe. I'm glad you're okay." Satoshi then turned towards Shiroi who was sitting by the corner of the pavement. "S-S-Shiroi, were you hurt anywhere?" He stuttered.

She shook her head and handed him a burger. "The rescuers gave it to me. You need it more than I do." Shiroi continued.

"No, I'm not hungry." Satoshi denied. It took all of his being to just spoke straight in front of Shiroi. And also, she could tell that Shiroi was hiding her hunger as well, she just offered the burger since she felt guilty sleeping for almost the entire incident, just like the others on the bus.

"W-what happened?" Shiroi worriedly asked. "I probably passed out when our school bus crashed. Are you all right? Were you hurt anywhere?"

"Nothing much, just a-a few scratches here and there," Satoshi responded, avoiding Shiroi's gaze since he suffered more than a few scratches. He didn't want her to worry more, especially after everything they just went through.

"I... I see. Thank you, Satoshi. We would've died without you." 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

"Don't worry about it. I could've died without my Familiars so there's that. In any case, I worry about dad and the others. They're still fighting up there, huh." Pointing to the sky, Satoshi sat down and sighed. There was something about the unknown that gave him the shivers. He shuddered at the thought of fighting in space where everything is surrounded by darkness.

"Yeah, your mom and dad are all right though. They've experienced more than their fair share of Space Wars so they should be able to handle themselves just fine."

"Excuse me— are you Midoriyama Satoshi by any chance?" The man was in his late thirties, wearing a black top hat and a suit that didn't match the tophat at all. He had an uneven stubble and round-rimmed eyeglasses on his face that made his eyes unusually bigger. As soon as he asked Satoshi to confirm his identity, he snatched a mic from his bag and pointed it at him. "We would like to have a few words with you about the incident."

"No, we would like to have a word with you about the incident." Another reporter approached Satoshi as if he was some sort of a big-shot celebrity. The woman was a famous figure in the news world and she flagrantly swayed her hips while walking towards Satoshi. "Would you humor this big sister and give us an exclusive interview? I'm Anne Heath, by the way, you probably heard of me from CCN News."

"We would like to get an interview with you, would that be all right?" Another interviewer asked.

In just a few seconds, Satoshi's alone time with Shiroi was interrupted by a host of interviewers, cameramen, and reporters who gathered around them like flies gathering around a carcass. At first, Satoshi felt like he wanted to shout at the reporters since he wanted to take some rest. But after thinking about it, he thought that he would just ignore them. After all, it's way too exhausting to scream than not say anything at all.

Shiroi was a different breed, however. Before Satoshi completely ignored them, she turned the entire area into an ice field, causing the whole crowd to stumble on their feet and fall on their backsides. It was an interesting domino effect, even Ann Heath fell in such a provocative position that Satoshi had to look away in an instant.

"Let's go." Shiroi urged, grabbing Satoshi by the hand and dragging him out of there.
