The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

"You're leaving?"

"Yeah." Dina answered Eve sitting across from her in the back of their class while Mark sat by himself pouting at the door; after finding out that Dina and Eve had become friends he had tried persuading her many times to at least try getting them alone together, but each time he tried Eve warned him that he'd likely lose his head and then reject his plea, she refused to even keep the two of them in the same space and was adamant about him keeping his distance.

What he didn't know was that Dina was the one likely to attack him if he'd touched or approached her inappropriately, she remembered vividly how she had fractured a man's hand after he touched her back on their vacation, and then explained that if she hadn't done at least this much Sol would have probably killed him for real.

Sol protected his women like a fierce dragon, and he was possessive over them too, some might say far more possessive than any normal man would ever be, and his women were loyal to a fault, in their eyes only he existed, she saw genuine love in how they treated each other.

Mark was an outsider that would be violently rejected if he even attempted anything.

"How long are you going to be gone for this time?" Eve rested both hands on the desk and stared at her with her brows furrowed. "You said the last time you left turned into a ten-year stay, and you're going back to wherever that place is again, why would you even go there you said it was a miserable experience that nearly killed you multiple times!"

"It's also where I was able to confess my feelings and become one with the love of my life." Dina smiled, causing Mark who was observing from afar to gasp in shock as this was the most beautiful he had ever seen her, on the rare occasion that she smirked when amused he had always caught it, and when Arla who they all assumed was her sister came she smiled a little and showed a much more active and social side of herself, but whatever she was talking about this time made her glow unlike anything he had ever seen before.

"Wow..." Mark covered his mouth and balled his fist, taking steps of approach, but upon Dina noticing him and Eve watching her tense up his friend looked around and glared at him.

Do you have any idea when you'll be back, at least?" Eve asked and Dina shook her head and shrugged. "What about calls then, will you be able to do at least that much?" She questioned her friend frustrated and Dina huffed and smiled at her. "Do you think it's funny?"

"No, I'm not trying to make fun of you, Eve, It's just a little warming that you're this worried about me." Dina admitted what she was thinking and saw the girl roll her eyes.

"I know we haven't been friends for a long time, Dina, but I'm genuinely tewakingnover this, I'm still getting to know you and it just feels like you're saying goodbye forever." She explained her thoughts and Dina sighed through her nostrils and glanced out the window at the birds passing, the calm weather, and one random person flying by out of control.

Considering the stakes, an invasion of hostile entities bent on killing or stealing Ikaris away with Sol as their only shield, if he failed she would sacrifice herself protecting Ikaris as well as Arla and most likely Sara.

"It really might be though, Eve, the world is dangerous now everything we're doing is to ensure your safety, it means I can't contact you since we'll be making a lot of new enemies, but if this works out there's nothing stopping me from coming back, I don't want to miss graduation.

"God you're worried about something like that at a time like this?" Eve slapped the desk. "If you think you might die then... just dont-"

"I'll stop you there." Dina looked at her seriously. "Eve, as you've said it really hasn't been that long, I respect your opinion as someone who doesn't harbour their thoughts and is forward in her intentions.

I think I've made it clear before that my duties to my family and the world at large come before my own safety, I'm not the average girl who runs away from danger, we might appear normal in some sense because of how we treat each other in a public space but we are far from it." She folded her fist and slapped her palm causing the winds outside to start howling as a slight pink glow came from the highlights of her hair and her eyes.

"What we do, nobody else can do it, the things we have seen and witnessed would make the average man shit themselves and die of strokes, the people we've gone up against are demons, destroyers, beings that could easily destroy the world, in the face kf threats like this, something as meagre as personal safety is an afterthought, of vourse indont want to die, but if it comes to it i would gladly sacrifice my everything to save you all, fhats mt job as..."

"...as a hero, I get it." Eve sighed and reached across the desk, taking her fist and gently unfurling it. "You never told me exactly what it was but Uriyu is a blabber mouth, he wouldn't shut up about how awesome you all were, and called you heroes every chance he got, and little Gia too...

I don't know exactly what you do and the way you talk about it makes me want to hide in my closet at home, but is it really okay to throw your life away for a cause like that?"

"I'm not throwing my life away," Dina pulled her hand from Eve's grasp and pat her folded fist. "I'm fighting so you all get to live in peace; we took down the global Atlas organisation and forced Order to resign and dismantle in a single day of forming, do you really think there's anything we can't handle?"

"I keep forgetting you did that because of how absurd it sounds..." Eve smiled at the reassurance. "If even they didn't stand a chance then whoever comes next will definitely get their asses kicked.

"Exactly."

"Dina!" Arla came rushing through the door, pausing when she saw her sitting casually around her desk. "Wh- you are alright!?" She snapped and rested her hand on the doorframe.

"Did something happen?" Dina stood abruptly.

"My sen...sors picked up irregularities here, Master sent me ahead to check on you as soon as it happened." She approached the two and stood pointing to the window. "Calm down."

"Oh," Dina suppressed her mana resulting in the winds and rain outside ceasing as easily as they started. "Sorry, I didn't even notice."

"What the heck just..." Eve stared confused, but ruled against asking and getting gaslit by them again.

Moments after Arla had entered Sol himself arrived, stepping through the door wearing a black long-sleeved turtleneck and brand pants as well as a hat and mask to hide his face as he approached, but all in vain as the moment Dina saw him she ran out of her seat and grabbed him in a hug, his appearance didn't really help either since with the mystery behind his appearance he had entered like some kind of supermodel.

"Master!"

The auditorium of nearly fifty students sitting here and there in the hundreds of seats went dead silent while more students silently poured in.

"You're a lot like Arla in this regard, you know, do you two have to greet me like his every time?" Sol looked down at her smiling as she pulled off his cap and pulled his forehead onto hers. "Now you've got everyone looking at me."

"I would have kissed you if you weren't wearing the mask." Dina chuckled, putting his cap on her head.

"She is effortlessly the most popular girl on campus, it is impossible to hide yourself if you're with her either way." Eve greeted him with a customary bow. "Good afternoon, Sir."

"Honestly, we're the same age you don't need to keep doing that every time we see each other." Sol rested his hand on Dina's head and pat Eve's shoulder. "Anyways, if doesn't seem like anything's wrong either, what happened with the storm outside? It was almost the size of a small hurricane." Sol looked down at Dina who winced when she heard that detail.

"Apparently Dina was simply... In her feels." Arla pointed out approaching Sol and getting a headpat from him as well.

"Oh." Sol cheerfully clapped and then looked at Eve again. "How are your studies comi-"

"Hey, you." A student approached and stood behind Sol. "What business do you have here on our campus grounds?"

"Last I checked this was a public space, fuck off Duran." Eve walked around Sol and tried pushing the guy away but he easily brushed her to the side and poked Sol's shoulder, he was tall and more muscular than even bruce and Kris were.

"Seriously, you don't want to do this-" Eve grabbed his hand and tried pulling him away, but the man pushed her aside again causing Mark who was on his way to catch her before she hit the ground.

"Answer me pipsqueak." He stared down at the back of Sol's head. "What are you doing touching and hugging my girl?" Duran asked.

He was going to ignore the ignorant fool, he had every intention of saying his goodbyes to Dina and leaving with Arla after confirming that everything was okay, but Sol very slowly looked at the finger pressed against his shirt and then looked around at the man.

"Excuse me...?"

"Oh... No." Eve held her mouth seeing Dina ball her fists and Arla narrowing her eyes.
