My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—-Chapter 52 The Dream
Satoshi has plans to join their agency as soon as he comes of age. Before, he wanted to support both his parents in some of their missions while working under them. That was his initial plan since he didn't really have a superpower back then. But now that his superpower could rival any superpower known to man, he could tell that he could do anything if he decides to do it. He didn't want to be tied down to any agency so he could be free when it comes to decisions. Whenever an incident occurs, an agency would always contact the nearest hero or contact their most suitable hero for the job. Satoshi didn't want that. He wanted to have the freedom to choose which missions he wanted to do. He didn't want the uncertainty of the type of missions that would be given to him...
And if he were to join an agency, it would just cause unnecessary rivalry since he's sure that the head of the agency would give any mission he wants just because he'd be able to do it. What if someone wanted that mission for himself or herself but Satoshi stole it right under him? And what if that someone had connections with criminals like superhero killers or huge gangs that could very well overpower anyone in a fight? Satoshi shuddered just thinking about it.
In any case, even if his mindset about his potential as a superhero has changed, it still didn't change the fact that he wanted to help both his parents in their mission. After all, it was his lifelong dream to go side by side with his parents as they clear missions or fight supervillains/powerful evil groups.
There was only one thing he could do. However, at this point, he still didn't have the means to do it so he couldn't really tell his parents about it. With a sigh under his breath (he didn't want his parents needlessly worrying about him), he looked up and answered his parent with a casual and somewhat indifferent response. "I'm still thinking about it, but I might join your agency, mom, dad."
"I see... " Tatsuki dabbed his mouth with a table napkin before clearing his throat. Based on what his son said, he immediately realized what he was implying. He'd known Satoshi ever since his wife gave birth to him so it was only natural that he could tell what his son was thinking. A smile formed on his face. 'After all these years, that diligence and eagerness is still on your blood, huh, son.' He thought to himself.
"So you wanted to build your own agency?" Ayumu suddenly asked, out of the blue, making Satoshi surprised.
"Come on, honey, you shouldn't say that this early. Who knows what could happen in the future." Tatsuki chuckled upon seeing Satoshi's sudden reaction.
"B-b-but— how did you know?'
"We're your parents, of course, we'd know," Tatsuki said. "Well, just remember that we'll fully support you as soon as you're doing it for the good, all right? If you need anything just ask me or your mom. We have a couple of buildings strewn around the city of Tokyo so you could use that as your primary agency. And if you need money or materials, you do know that we don't lack them, right? We're like the 'batman' of superheroes, you know.
Satoshi didn't know if he'd laugh or not. His parents really did know everything about him. And even then, the fact that they were willing to help him with his dream was more than enough to make him tear up.

The next day, United Superheroes Academy
A crowd of students gathered around the school entrance, causing a commotion so early in the day. Some of the students who just wanted to get into their classroom as soon as they can were sucked into the swirling vortex of people clamoring for Plume's attention as she stood in the middle with guards surrounding her. She didn't want to garner any attention to herself but she realized that it would take her a long time if she were to ask the teachers where Satoshi's classroom was. She didn't want to go through the pain of countless interviews from the teachers so she decided to wait by the school entrance until Satoshi showed up.
Not long after, the school bus that brought Class 3-1 arrived by the entrance of the school. As usual, Satoshi was sitting right at the back of the school bus so he was one of the last persons who noticed the crowd a moment too late. He got out, holding what seemed to be a droplet in his hand that floated atop his palms. "Would this really work?" He asked himself.
Suddenly, the droplet became frozen ice and it shrunk a few millimeters smaller in radius as if something's pressurizing it from the outside. Satoshi didn't know how to use it yet but based on the information Dex gave him, this droplet would be a fine addition to his growing list of familiars. And so, he wanted to test it out as soon as he can. "But how?"
Suddenly, a figure flew above him and free-fell towards him, making him impulsively step out of the way while letting his droplet go. He still didn't know what flew in front of him, all he knew is that he had to act fast.
Unfortunately, his Orb Oboros was still in his bag, and every familiar he has were all in there— well, all except for one.
Without further ado, Satoshi was on the lookout for any liquid. To his surprise, the gardener of the school was nearby so he grabbed his bucket and dipped his Droplet on it. Based on Dex's information, Satoshi expected the Droplet to work its wonders and connect with the other liquid in the bucket. To his relief, he really felt as if the Droplet had gotten heavier and his mind managed to connect to it so easily as if he'd had that superpower for quite some time now. Suddenly, the water from the bucket floated and rested at the top of his hand like a huge orb of crystal, except the crystal was purely made out of water.
Before Satoshi could turn around, he swung his hand like a whip and the water orb crashed onto whatever it was that attacked him. The water orb then splashed everywhere and with a snap of a finger, it turned into ice. Just like that, the match was already over and Plume was pinned on the ground, ice all over her body.
"Wait, I just wanted to talk." Plume sighed, staring into Satoshi's soul through his eyes. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎
In a split second, Satoshi recognized Plume and he immediately withdrew the attack— well, not until everyone saw what happened. Clearly, it was yet another loss for Plume but no one brought it up. The whole crowd just stared in silence, letting the moment sink into their minds.
"Elimine-san?! What are you doing here?" Satoshi asked, turning the ice into water once again and manipulating it back to the bucket of the gardener before he retrieved his new familiar, the Droplet.
"I was waiting for you, of course." She continued. "Can you fly?" She asked, pointing upwards.
Quickly, Satoshi rummaged through his bag so he could get his Nailgun from his Orb Oboros. A strong gust of wind blew towards him when Plume flew upwards. A few seconds later, he followed suit, trailing right behind Plume as they climbed upwards.
This was the first time Satoshi ever flew towards the sky and somehow, it scared him a bit. Of course, he did have experience with flying when he fought against the Slime Alien and against Plume but he didn't have time to think about it back then so this was an entirely new experience. He swallowed his dry saliva as the air became thinner and thinner. Pretty soon, they reached the troposphere and Satoshi instinctively touched the clouds before stopping his ascent.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" Satoshi asked as soon as Plume stopped going up as well.
"Remember we had that match yesterday, right?" Plume asked, to which Satoshi nodded. Why would he forget such an important match?
"Yes, what of it? If you want to have a rematch then you can just tell me. Oh, and also, how are your wings? Are they all right now?" Satoshi asked out of concern. He didn't want to mock Elimine-san after having lost twice against him.
"I... I want to personally recommend you to the Heimdall Agency. Also, I think Eye-Goddess has taken a liking to you as well. Are you in? It would greatly benefit you compared to going to your parents' agency. "
"No, sorry Elimine-san but I have other plans." Satoshi continued. He could feel his legs turning into jelly the more he experienced being suspended in the air.
"No? Why? What do you mean you have other plans?"
"I'm going to set up my own agency," Satoshi responded a matter of factly.
