Yes, the top five of the SAO Rankings were killed, along with countless high-ranking superheroes. The Midoriyama Duo really had to step up to the plate and put a stop to the incident. They were able to do it, capturing Kronos Schiltz in a perfect tandem fight where Ayumu tanked all his hits while Tatsuki whittled down his hp. It was like an end-game epic boss fight where the stakes are high on the player\'s team.

Thanks to the hard work and sacrifice of all the superheroes back then, peace once again thrived in the land of Japan, and now, society is finally returning to its former state of balance.

But with this recent incident where Superpower Boosters were involved, it\'s bound to snowball into an even greater event. While the masses weren\'t told about the specifics of the incident, every single high-ranking superhero was briefed about it. They were told about the hidden details of the recent incident and were reminded to be wary, that any slight suspicion should be taken with seriousness. Zeus\'s betrayal was unavoidable, and he already explained his case to the SAO, that his wife and sons were kidnapped and threatened. Of course, that was a valid reason since most would do the same if they were in the same situation. Zeus was a high-ranking superhero, all right, but against one of the most formidable supervillains, he has no chance of winning. Also, his wife and sons were kidnapped, and everything was plotted by none other than Creaker himself. Back then, Zeus recognized the intruder\'s superpower, and he immediately knew whom he was dealing with. Because of that, he didn\'t retaliate further.

A wild manhunt mission was ordered to the most trusted superheroes, the Top Ten, and they were given the task to be on the lookout for Creaker who recently escaped prison. Zeus couldn\'t face the public anymore, and his sons and wife were nowhere to be found. There was nothing he could do but mourn.

Back to the Midoriyama Household, the Midoriyamas and the Yukinos sat around the table, enjoying the breakfast that was prepared by Ayumu. Shiroi was surprised to see that Emma lived on the same roof as Satoshi and she gave him a suspicious stare. Panicked, Satoshi mouthed \'I\'ll explain later\' before they started eating.

"I couldn\'t believe you were able to do that. So like, not only can you summon powerful familiars, you can also merge with them and have their superpower?" Yukino Yukine, Shiroi\'s father, excitedly asked as he ate a sunny-side-up with one bite.

"I couldn\'t believe it either when I saw it. Fortunately, the two of us reached the scene first, otherwise, we wouldn\'t be able to explain what happened."

"Yeah," Ayumu chimed in. "Satoshi, may I ask what happened? I saw you from afar, did you lose control over your superpower?"

Before Satoshi could answer, his dad answered in his stead. "Yeah, no doubt. The normal Satoshi wouldn\'t have been able to defeat two dozen boosted villains— that or it\'s just adrenaline doing its trick."

"No, Dad, I really did lose control back there," Satoshi answered. "I felt my body moving on its own, and no matter how hard I tried to rein it in, it just wouldn\'t listen. My familiars were also driven to the limit as well. Had you not stopped us, dad, my two familiars would\'ve died after depleting all their energy."

Silence befell the table but Satoshi still kept eating. Doing so would ease the tension after all, and he didn\'t want his breakfast with Shiroi to be ruined. In response, the others resumed eating as well, trying to find an opportune time when they\'d be able to bring up another topic.

"Ehrmm," Tatsuki cleared his throat. "Yukine, do you remember back then, when we were up against the Silver Spoon Gang?"

"Yes, how could I even forget that fight, two against a hundred and one, right?" Yukine chuckled. "Ah, that\'s right! Listen here, Satoshi. Did you know, your father used to lose control of himself whenever a fight gets out of hand. Right now, it doesn\'t happen much but way back then, he would always pull through and win against all odds, after losing control, of course."

"Just like you, Satoshi," Tatsuki continued what Yukine was saying. "And ask any superhero out there, they\'ve experienced losing control at least once in their life as a superhero. It\'s normal, but just like everything involving your body, you can control it."

Apparently, Tatsuki could sense that Satoshi felt rather dejected about losing control over himself. As someone who is proficient in physical combat, he has always trained himself control, and yet, that control betrayed him for the first time in his life. Of course, he\'d feel dejected, it\'s as if his very being turned against him. No matter what the reason is, Satoshi knew all too well that it was his own shortcomings that resulted in that.

"What should I do?" He asked, swallowing his pride. Dex had already told him what to do, but his instructions were unclear since it only involved using his superpowers more.

"As the saying goes, go beyond pl— I\'m kidding. Ehrmm! As the saying goes, you cannot control the wind, but you can guide your way using it. The same works on superpowers." Tatsuki pointed out. "Come with me,"
