Chapter 10

Snek woke the next morning.

He gave off a yawn and a stretch before he turned down and saw Drax out like a light. However it was strange, he knew Drax didn't appear this full before he went to bed last night. "Did he go hunting without me?" he muttered.

Drax then woke, he gave a yawn and a stretch of his own before turning to his father. "Morning dad."

Snek however stared down at him oddly. "Did you hunt last night?" he demanded.

His son nodded. "I got really hungry. Goliath happened to have woken up and took me out to get something to eat. I tried to wake you, but you were out cold."

"Damn… I'm sorry."

"It's okay dad. I got something, it was enough to tie me over, but now I want something filling!"

"You defiantly are my kid." He muttered. "Okay, let's get some coffee in me first then we will patrol."

Drax was excited as he quickly slithered out of the room. Snek smirked and shook his head to it all. "How come he's the only one excited about this?" he asked himself.

He rose and followed suit. Most of the family was up, Snek went for his coffee as Garou leaned back. "Forgot to mention, we got new dragons," he said.

"New dragons?"

"Pac has joined the M Class, Hunter has left S Class and has since joined our ranks too. He got frustrated with the rank system and figured it was time to join the family. However..." there was a devious grin on the face of Garou. "Who knew though there was a special clause in the S Class should a hero vacate their role."

Snek was curious now. "Oh?"

Hunter cleared his throat. "Should a Class S hero vacate their position, they can appoint a replacement of their own choosing. However said replacement must possess a quality the original had, HOWEVER, if this replacement bests that quality, acceptance is automatic. No farther action is require on the association nor test needed."

"Nerd," snickered Garou.

"Shut up dad." Hunter snapped back.

Snek laughed. "I see you learned from Amai Mask in reading everything inside and out that has to do with the Heroes Association."

Hunter nodded. "I chose Saitama."

"Shocker." Said Snek as he drank his coffee. "So, when do they inform him?"

"Actually, I have to do that. I have to inform him of the offer, if he accepts, we have to go to the association and prove he is worthy to replace me. Which he is, after all, he's a lot stronger than me."

"I already volunteered to show the association how powerful he is, I don't want Hunter going up against him without knowing what he is really up against!" said Garou. "After the kids of course."

"If that's the case dad, I'll take him on. I've been sparring with Genos, perhaps next time around, I will practice with Saitama, he's seems interested in going a round against me. At least, I think he is… hard to tell with that guy."

"DDDAAADDD!" protested Drax. He was grabbing his arm and pulling him. "Come on dad! I'm getting hungry again!"

With a roll of his eyes, Snek pounded down his coffee and announced he would be back in a while. Drax's smile grew as he slithered up Snek and took hold of his shoulders in a piggyback like way. "We'll be back." Snek sighed.

"No rats this time!" insisted Drax.
