?Chapter 12: The nemesis of the Four Beasts Alliance


    That''s right, their first step shouldn''t be how to fix their problem on how to be an official Hero since that can be easily fixedter on, especially with Kayn''s current capability plus Natas'' knowledge about the ''Tower''. Any time they want to, they could just show a little bit of their ability and sooner orter, Kayn would be able to graduate from Starlight Hero Academy in a shorter period of time, or even in a matter of an instant. Instead, they should be looking for potential allies that can help them in achieving their goal.


    "If Nichs already has his own force, shouldn''t they start building their own as well?" Kayn thought to himself.


    "So, Joseph is now considered as our potential ally," Natas said as he began pondering inside his head on who else they could try to recruit to their team. Honestly speaking, there are actually not that many Heroes who had the same quality of character as Joseph inside the ''Tower''. That''s because the vast majority of the Heroes are two-faced or what is also moremonly called Fake Heroes. As for the Viins…


    With that thought in mind, Natas quickly asked, "How about those newrades of yours? Wouldn''t it be better to gather them now as most of them haven''t started walking on the path of bing a Viin yet?"


    "Hmmm… that''s a good idea!" Kayn didn''t hesitate to agree. He had already seen for himself that the moral qualities and type of character of his newrades are trustworthy, though with a tinge of malice due to the fact that their identities are Viins, and additionally because of their painful and despairing past, and regardless of the temptation being thrown at them by the ''Tower'' they would never bend to it as their goal of destroying the ''Tower'' is the same as his unwavering will. Such people would no doubt be tremendously helpful for him, especially since he expects troubling moments in the future where he would need their help more than anything else.


    "If we could change the direction of the path they walked in the future, with their potential, it wouldn''t be that challenging anymore for us to help them be influential and powerful Heroes," Natas shared his n with Kayn.


    "I know, and it''s honestly a very great n. I''ve had the same idea for a while now as well. The only problem is, I don''t know where to find them," Kayn sighs heavily.


    Those people weren''t just any normal and ordinary kinds of Viins. Take for example, Mercenary King Grey. At this moment, he is still known to be a Hero and the Leader of the Mercenary Nation, so it''s to be expected that just by going to that ce he would be able to easily find him. But that''s actually not true since that guy is known to never stay in a single spot. Mercenary King Grey could be either enjoying vacation somewhere that no one could easily find on Earth or that he is simply out there inside the ''Tower'' single-handedly massacring numerous monsters on an unknown floor and location.


    Not to mention, he has no means to reach the Mercenary Nation, or even if he could, he isn''t capable enough of staying alive for long as everyone in that ce lives by following thew of the jungle; the strong eat the weak, while the weak eat the weakest.


    Even if he has prior knowledge of the future, it''s just next to impossible for him to know where his newrades are located exactly at this moment simply because he doesn''t have any memories or experiences of what they were doing right now.


    "There''s also the question of whether they would believe me or not," Kayn added as he felt even more upset.


    In conclusion, it''s impossible for Kayn to find them, let alone recruit them with his current state. After all, who would even bother believing an eighteen years old young man who hasn''t even been recognized as a Hero yet nor has been granted ess to enter the ''Tower''?


    Unlike the future him who hadn''t only proven to everyone his goal of destroying the ''Tower'' but had also shown his great capability in numerous different important matters and in achieving countless great feats, the current him still hasn''t contributed anything to society to be recognized by the masses, not to mention get recognize and receive the approval by those newrades of his.


    While Kayn was deep in his thoughts, Natas suddenly interrupted him and proposed a n, "If I remember correctly, one of yourrades is actually currently studying at the same Hero Academy as you at this moment in time. We could start with him, and then slowly build our way up,"


    Kayn was instantly pulled out from his thoughts after hearing Natas'' information. Indeed, they could just slowly build their way up, albeit they shouldn''t forget that they are still pressed for time since there''s no telling for certain yet when exactly the future ''Tower'' would inform the present ''Tower'' about what they have done. But he felt curious about one thing, "How do you know about this? I thought that you are not the type that pays attention to events that happen outside the ''Tower'',"


    "It was one of my brothers that told me about that. He was always proud of that incarnation of his since although he became a Viin, he still retained the true heart of a Hero," Natas replied. If there''s any information he is aware of that is rted to Earth, it would only be through two things. One, he heard of it from one of his brothers and sisters. Second, he heard Heroes talk about it a lot inside the ''Tower''. So, even if he doesn''t pay that much attention to anything outside the ''Tower'', there would still be times when he can''t avoid listening to them.


    "Are you sure you didn''t hear it wrong? Since if there''s one of them in the same school as me, then I would have long heard of that already," After all, Kayn''s newrades were pretty much infamous Viins in the future.


    Although he doesn''t have any knowledge about what they are doing right now, information about where they have previously studied would be simple to find. That''s because information ranging from when they were still kids to adulthood has be public knowledge for the masses to easily ess; not to mention, he was the guild leader of the most powerful guild on Earth, so he has far greater ess to information about them.


    If he remembered correctly, none of his newrades had a history of studying in the Starlight Hero Academy. As a matter of fact, most of them couldn''t even study or afford it due to how difficult and extreme their living conditions were, while others couldn''t graduate because something unfortunate happened to them that ultimately changed and turned their lives upside down.


    "It''s only natural for you not to know about it since his identity became one of the darkest secrets of the Starlight Hero Academy, so everything rted to it was deleted with its content only being passed from one person to another verbally and amongst the higher-ups of the school only," Natas exined the possible reason why Kayn haven''t heard about it.


    "I guess that''s indeed reasonable," Kayn understood a thing or two after learning about the hidden forces of Nichs. He realized that there might be more information that he hasn''t heard of nor learned about back then due to various variables including but not limited to the possibility that the vast majority of information he is allowed ess to are only those that he should be allowed and permitted to learn. Fortunately, Natas came along with him to fill in the missing pieces of the puzzles, otherwise, he would have made his move without considering those kinds of information.


    "There''s no time to waste," With the new information in hand, Kayn promptly decided that they have to go to the Starlight Hero Academy quickly and meet with one of his newrades and try to recruit him before something bad happens to him.


    However, just when Kayn and Natas were about to leave, they suddenly heard the female journalist on the big screen screaming frantically.


    "It''s World President Nichs!"


    "What?! World President Nichs!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "World President Nichs!"


    "Oh wait, I don''t want to miss this part," Kayn muttered as he stopped in his tracks with a wide grin formed on his face.


    The camera quickly turned its attention towards a man who is slowly walking towards the front of the huge gate of the ''Tower'' while being surrounded by powerful Heroes that act as his bodyguards in case some insane Viin would try to pull out some dangerous stunts to the most important person on Earth.


    Nichs'' figure was somewhat vague due to the far distance of the camera. But as the cameraman steadily got close to the front, Kayn and Natas were slowly able to clearly identify the man who made countless legends but with a secret identity of being the incarnation of what he imed to be his enemy, the ''Tower''.


    At the moment, Nichs is still in his mid-fifties. Despite that though, there''s no sign of aging to be seen on his face and it''s as if he is only in his early thirties. Though some streaks of white and gray-colored hair could be seen from the side of his head, which centers the ck hair in the center; nevertheless, it doesn''t seem to show that he is old and fragile. His body was also huge and muscr for his age, evidently due to him being a Hero and that he constantly maintains a healthy diet and exercise despite how focused and busy he is with his current job as the President of the World Leader Alliance.


    What''s really unique about Nichs though wasn''t all of that; It was his gold-colored pupils that looked like a life-like realistic version of an image of the sun burning ever so brightly regardless of what, expressing his full of vigor, passion, and desire, which actually also reflects his ability to manipte fire and light element.


    As time slowly passed, Nichs finally stood on a podium and was soon after handed a microphone to start his speech.


    "I know that all of you can''t wait anymore to enter the 201st floor of the ''Tower''. Even I want to see it with my eyes this instant and not stay to listen to an old man''s speech,"


    Laughter instantly issued from everyone after Nichs'' humorous introduction.


    "So, to do everyone a favor of not taking so much of your precious time, I will immediately begin to convey the summary of all the messages from the ten world leaders," Nichs paused in his speech as he took out a piece of folded paper and unfolded it to see and start reading its content. However, before he could even try to do that, his face suddenly turned ugly.


    "Do you know why his expression turned like that?" Kayn wondered if Natas also saw this scene.


    "I am interested to know why," Natas felt intrigued by the sudden change of atmosphere.


    "Wait for it," Kayn turned his attention again back to the big screen with a wide grin on his face as if knowing already what is about to happen.


    Realizing his mistake, Nichs quickly coughed and pulled himself together, "It seems like my assistant gave me the wrong letter to read. But anyways, what I was about to say…"


    Before Nichs could even finish his line, the number up above the gate of the ''Tower'' suddenly change from the 201st floor to the 202nd floor seemingly in a blink of an eye.


    "Look over there!"


    "What just happened?!"


    "Did the ''Tower'' malfunction or something?"


    "Just how the heck did you even think of that?!"


    "Just a thought. Who knows for certain if that''s possible or not, right?"


    In the next moment, the entire scene shown on the camera instantly went into an uproar.


    Meanwhile, on the dozens of big screens around the Moon Core, numerous scenes happening all over the world were abruptly being broadcasted live showing simr dumbfounded expressionsing from the countless Heroes who were waiting for the go signal to get inside the 201st floor of the ''Tower''; except for one, the scenes around the Kraken Beast Republic.


    Contrary to the territories of the nine world leaders, the Kraken Beast Republic was instead celebrating and showing an excited expression rather than being in doubt, confused, and suspicious of what just took ce around the globe.


    All of a sudden, the scenes on the big screens changed and showed a man who was wearing the attire that a captain of a navy ship usually wears.


    Without the need to introduce himself, both Kayn and Natas immediately recognized the man on the big screens as Admiral Robert, the Leader of the Kraken Beast Republic, the greatest nemesis of the Four Beasts Alliance.
