MIGHT AS WELL BE OP
Chapter 137: Acting a hero

Anthony began speaking as he saw she was done panicking and with her thoughts.

"Well I understand your attitude towards me, that's just how the world works"

Anthony raised his hand up to the sky.

He looked Ava's outstretched hand that once held a dagger, then he slashed down with his hand.

Ava seeing this couldn't react, she could only watch as her hand was about to be cut off from the elbow.

Her hand fell to the ground with a thud sound lifelessly as blood oozed out and splattered everywhere dyeing the floor and walls red.

Before Anthony struck, at the last moment he released his time magic holding on her.

Pain rocket her body as her hand was taken from her.

"ARRRHHH"

She screamed at the top of her lungs.

But no matter how she screamed no sound ever left the room as it was contained in those four walls by Anthony.

She used her other hand to try and reduce the gushing blood that was flooding out, but it was useless.

She gritted her teeth for a few seconds before raising her complete hand that held her space ring to bring out a healing potion.

But of course it didn't work in Anthony's presence.

She almost fell into hypovolemic shock as she couldn't stop the blood.

Her skin paled, her eyes dizzy, her body weak.

But Ava held on for the children.

Anthony watched her suffering with an impassive face.

Then he began to speak again.

"Your plan was quiet good I have to say, but you were too hasty, you should access if your opponent is even a hundred times faster and stronger than you"

Anthony spoke emotionlessly.

"Today would serve as a lesson, if you encounter an unbeaten opponent, just run, just like how you have your cards your enemies have theirs"

"A better option was to evacuate the children the moment I stepped in here, but if I was a weaker person, you would have succeeded"

"But the world doesn't work on ifs"

Anthony last words echoed as he stood up and walked out of Ava's office unbothered.

As he walked out and a bit further, the children crowded him.

"Big brother, are you done discussing with aunt Ava"

"Big brother where is aunt Ava"

"Big brother when will you show us your magic"

They were simply too happy to witness something they had never seen.

"Calm down, I will show you something impressive"

Anthony said, then he looked at a child and asked.

"What do you want to see first"

The child's eyes instantly brightened.

"Big brother I want to see some magic, I would awaken four years from now"

The child said as she waited for Anthony's display.

'Might as well show off then'

Anthony thought with a smile.

Then he raised his hand exaggeratedly and snapped his fingers.

Space moved at his command as it bent around all them and they were all instantly teleported out of their current location and to the training room Anthony had seen earlier.

As the children saw that they seemed to have changed locations, they were stunned.

"Wooahh....Big brother teleported us to the training ground"

"Sister what does teleported mean"

"Big brother how did you do it"

"Teach us big brother"

Anthony shook his head and said while patting their heads.

"When you awaken and become strong like me, you should be able to do it"

The children instantly became motivated.

"Big brother show us the weapon now, you have shown magic already"

One of the children said.

Anthony nooded, then opened his system to buy a wooden sword and a wooden scarecrow like structure.

He placed the structure in the middle, then held his wooden sword on his hand and said.

"Stand back and watch carefully"

Then Anthony started swinging at the structure with the highest speed that the children could follow for their age with their eyes and brain.

Anthony used wind magic to make it look like wind waves were being created as he struck and retrieved his sword.

He even controlled sound and made it echo for more effect.

The children watching the increase in wind pressure and the wind that brush against their face could only drown in the display as the sound made by the connection of the wooden sword and the structure.

The children marveled at such display.

Then with another exaggerated movement, Anthony swung his wooden sword and cleaved the structure in perfect half, and it was sent out in two different directions.

Immediately Anthony cleaved it in half, the door opened and Ava walked in with a neutral face while being in optimal state.

Anthony had released his control over her space ring the moment he left the office, it seemed that Ava was just found out late and could only arrive at this moment after she just healed herself.

But nobody paid her any mind as the children were finally seeing what they could only speak and fantasies about.

And Anthony was too engrossed in his 'hero' and 'big brother' role at the moment.

"Woo...Big brother how cool"

But before any them could speak, Anthony switched to magic again as he displayed fire, water, earth and wind element.

He played with the children for some time before he checked his time and saw he had been too engrossed in his role that he wasted over an hour here.

"I have to go kids"

Anthony said to them after his display.

"Big brother why don't you stay here with us"

One of them said.

"Big brother has to save the world from bad guys so that you can train safely in the future"

"But do not worry, I will be back soon, but I don't know when since there are a lot of bad guys in the world"

Anthony said in a reply, then walked out with Ava trailing behind him.

When they arrived at the gate, Anthony stopped then turned to Ava and gave her a bank card while saying.

"Some quarks are in here, I'm only giving you this because of the children, also only you can use this card and no one else"

"Don't ask or check how much is in it, just spend till it finishes, also just think about the card whenever you want to use it and it will appear in your hand"

"The day you die or close the orphanage, or stop caring for the children from the bottom of your heart, the card will disappear together with any hard cash you've withdrawn or kept"

Ava just looked at the bank card.

Hesitant to accept it.

But she later accepted it.

She looked at Anthony and asked.

"Will you be returning"

"Maybe"

Anthony replied and instantly vanished from her sight.

Ava stood there for a while, before shaking her head and headed back inside.

But she had a slight smile on her face.

Although she hated receiving help because at the end of the day nothing was free.

Someone might come to seek payment for helping her later thereby causing problems for the children and orphanage.

She felt a lot of pressure by supporting the children, but with this card the pressure would be reduced drastically.
