Helios Rising Heroes - With the Star of My Dreams
ARCANA: The Star - Leonard Wright Jr. Card Story
Marion: I’m headed off to a meeting now, and once I’m done there I’ll join your training, so go train in the gym for now.
Gast: Got it.
Marion: I don’t think I need to tell you this but….don’t slack off, okay?
Gast: Hey, d’ya really think I’d be the type to skip? I’ll do it properly
Marion: …..?
Junior: …!
Gast: What’s up…?
Marion: No I…..just thought I felt someone staring.
Marion: Well, I didn’t feel any kind of bloodlust or anything though.
Gast: ……
----------------------------------------------------
Junior: A-ah… That was a close one….they almost caught onto me….
Junior: (...--NOT, I'm trying to get advice from Marion, why am I chickening out now?!?!)
Junior: (I finally got to admit to Marion that I admire him! All that’s left is to ask him to teach me how to use Overflow!)
Junior: (Compared to that time, this is no biggie! Pull yourself together!)
Junior: [Inhales]
Junior: [chanting] Marion, please teach me how to use Overflow too….Marion, please teach me how to use Overflow too…
Junior: Alright!
Gast: Ooh, I see, so that’s what this was about.
Junior: Pya–.!?
Junior: Ga-Gast!? No way, just now, did you hear—
Gast: Just now? Ahhh
Gast: “Marion, please teach me how to use Overflow too”.
Gast: Heard your grumblin’, loud n’clear
Junior: Gya—!!
Gast: …Y’know, I did call out to ya first, but I guess you really didn’t hear me, huh
Junior: Uuh…..
Gast: Sorry, Marion said he felt some eyes on him, so I got a little worried.
Gast: When I looked around, I found you monologuing to yourself
Junior: A-agh
Gast: So? What was that about?
Junior: …..I heard Akira and Ren both got “Overflow” training from Marion.
Junior: So I wanted to ask him to teach me too but….y’see…a lotta stuff kinda came up….
Gast: Why now? Didn’t you mention recently that you’d done a training course to handle “Overflow”?
Gast: ….I mean, thanks to that power, you saved my ass back then.*
Junior: That’s it, it’s because I finished those sessions, I wanted to receive proper training….
Gast: ……….
Gast: Should I help you out?
Junior: Eh?
Gast: I mean I kind of get how ya feel. Plus you did help me out a bunch dealing with my dad. So I’ll help you out on this one
Gast: After the meeting he’s at right now, he’ll join my training, so why not ask then?
Junior: Thank you, Gast! I owe ya!!!
Gast: ……...
Junior: Ah, but….
Gast: Don’t sweat it. I’ll try to set the mood up, but you’re in charge of sending the message.
Junior: A-ah…. Got it…
Gast: I’ll do what I can to follow up for ya, so do your best.
Junior: ………..
----------------------------------------------------
Marion: ………
Junior: …….h,
Junior: He’s here!! Marion’s heading over!!
Gast: Yeah duh,....though, he looks like he might be in a bit of a bad mood…?
Junior: Eh, Marion’s in a bad mood…?
Gast: …..Alright. I’ll scope the situation a lil’.
Gast: Y-yo, Marion, good job on finishin’ that meeting. How’d it go….?
Marion: …..It’s nothing much.
Marion: Victor, that asshole, shared some info from the research department.
Gast: …..And?
Marion: At one point he kept throwing me looks while stressing that “Heroes have a physical exam scheduled.”
Marion: And then he kept emphasizing that it’d involve a blood draw!
Gast: A-ah….?
Gast: (Yikes…..I don’t really get what he’s angry about, but he’s in a real bad mood)
Gast: Hey, Junior, Marion seems to be in a really bad mood ….so maybe tread a lil’ carefully out there.
Junior: Pi–....!
Junior: (Calm down, calm down….but how am I supposed to say it….!?)
Marion: …Oi, what the hell have you two been mumbling to yourselves over there.
Junior: Piya!? N-n-n-nothing…. M-ma-ma-mma-ma—!
Gast: Calm down, Junior. You can’t get your point across like that, take a deep breath
Junior: Hu–haah—!
Marion: …..? What the-
Gast: Haha….y’see Junior, seems to have a small favor to ask of ya.
Gast: Seems like it’s something that, out of everyone in Helios, only you can fulfill, Marion, so I had him wait here for you.
Marion: ….Something only I can do?
Junior: !!!!!!
Gast: Oof…felt like your neck might pop right off with that headbang.
Marion: Yeah I don’t get it, but if it’s something only I can do, I’ll at least hear you out.
Junior: ……..
Junior: P…….
Marion: P……?
Junior: —Please teach me how to use “Overflow”!
Marion: Me? Teach you?
Junior: R-ren and Akira also learned from you right? Gast also said you were the best at using it…..
Marion: ….I guess it’s true I’ve taught “Overflow” users from other sectors before. But—
Junior: …..?
Marion: I’ve heard you already know how to use it?
Junior: T-that’s—
Marion: Plus, what about your own mentors? Keith can also use “Overflow” and he’d definitely know you better.
Marion: Or if it’s a matter of managing the skill, wouldn’t it be better to ask the just-returned Leonard Wright? You have similar abilities, after all.
Junior: Uuh…….
Gast: Ah—Marion. You’re right, but—
Junior: I–!
Marion & Gast: !
Junior: I wanted to ask Marion specifically…
Gast: Junior, you…..
Junior: Because I want to be as strong as Marion!! So I want to learn from you!!
Junior: So that’s why, please!!!!
Marion: ………..
Marion: Hmm.
Junior: !!
Marion: If you’re going that far, I’ll consider it.
Marion: But my schedule isn’t exactly clear. And you still have missions to fulfill for the Anti-Eclipse Unit, don’t you?
Marion: So if you’re free while I’m training Gast and Ren, join in. If that’s enough, I’ll take a look.
Junior: …Y-YES—!!!
Gast: Ain’t that great, Junior. Though you better—
Marion: My training will be tough. If you don’t correct according to my feedback, you’ll get the lash.
Gast: ….take note of that? ^^
Junior: Marion’s gonna train me! I can be like Marion…..!!
Gast: –Ey, I guess he didn’t hear any of that huh. Ah well, as long as he’s happy, I suppose it’s fine.
