Air Hero

Hero's vehicle

“Is this the place?”

Kalina sent Max an address, and it didn't take long for Max to arrive there.

“Hyper garage. The signboard is correct.”

The place that Max visited looked like an ordinary car dealer from the front. Not to mention that the car that they sell isn’t even the latest model. Max, however, never doubted the place that Kalina’s referred to him.

Like the wright gear and costume shop, the shop looked normal, but there’s a hidden door to access the actual workshop. Max believed that this one must be the same. Finding the entrance to the dealer, Max entered the building.

“Welcome to Hyper garage! My name is Elliot, and I will be your agent for today. How can I help you?”

Entering the building, it looked clean, and a man in his early thirties wearing a neat suit greeted Max professionally.

“Ah, I would like to buy a motorcycle.”

“Can I know who referred you to this place?”

“My big sister, Kalina, is the one who tells me about this place.”

“Oh, I haven’t heard anything from her for a while. It’s been a long time since she was active as a hero. I heard that she become a teacher now.”

“Yes. That’s correct.”

“Alright, since you’re Kalina’s little brother, I will give you some discount later. Okay, please sit down over here.”

Max then sits down at the reception table while Elliot is sitting across from him. There is a screen in front of Max, and Elliot is the one controlling it.

“Here are some of the examples of the motorcycles that we make. An ordinary one costs around $250,000, while a custom-made one can go anywhere with the depth of the wallet as the limit. Sadly, we couldn’t bring you to the workshop to look around as many sensitive technologies are confidential. So what you see here is only some secondhand vehicle that we use as a cover.”

It wasn’t like Max isn’t disappointed to not be able to visit the garage, but what Elliot said makes sense. However, Max’s purpose in visiting this place is to buy a vehicle, not sightseeing, so he focused again on the things that Elliot is showing him.

On the screen, there are many kinds of motorcycles being shown to Max. Starting from two-wheeled one until four-wheeled one, just like ATV.

“May I know which one you prefer? Two-wheeled one? Or four-wheeled one?”

“To be honest, I don’t know yet since I never ride a motorcycle before.”

“Ah, don’t worry. Riding a motorcycle is like riding a bicycle. It’s easy, and once you learn about it, you won’t be able to forget. Of course, since you’re a beginner, a four-wheeled one will be better, but it’s more expensive. May I know what’s your budget?”

“It’s around $200,000-300,000.”

“Then it’s better to order a two-wheeled one. Do you have special requirements for the motorcycle? I mean, is there a maximum speed you want to have or the materials for the motorcycle, whether you’ll be using it in battle or not.”

“Ah, I don’t have any special requirements aside from the tires that should be durable. Big sis said I could have one which won’t experience a flat tire. I don’t think that I will be using it on battle either. It’s just for moving around from one district to another, so I don’t think I need it to be very fast, just need the engine to be reliable.”

While Max is explaining his needs, Elliot is doing something with the computer. He clicked here and there while inputting Max’s specification.

“Okay, please wait a moment.”

After hearing what Max have to say, Elliot focused on the computer. Max can see the motorcycle that is shown on the screen is starting to change.

First off, the tires that seemed to be made from rubber earlier changed into something metallic and futuristic. The size of the wheels also enlarged four times from regular ones, and it’s rimless.

“As you can see, I’m adjusting the motorcycle per your preferences. This is one of the newest technology used on the wheels. This way, the motorcycle won’t fall over, and it will never have a problem of having a flat tire.”

Elliot is explaining to Max every single adjustment that he has made to the base shape of the motorcycle. By now, after several changes, the motorcycle looked like something befitting of heroes, and Max was delighted with it.

The wheels of the motorcycle still become the main attraction since it was rimless and big. The stability promises never to fall over is something that Max likes considering he has never ridden a bike before. The color of the bike itself will be sky blue and looked very catchy.

“The motorcycle will come with a 1500cc engine, and it is an electric one. You won’t have to worry to runs out of fuel since one charge is enough for a 600km journey. It will come with a charger, and you just need to plug it every time you finished with it since the battery won’t be overloaded and have a long lifetime. The color will be sky blue, like your costume, and the wheel will never suffer from a flat tire. The body of the motorcycle could protect you from bullets and blast explosion since it is made from a mixture of titanium and steel. Normally, this kind of vehicle will cost $350,000++, but since I have promised to give you a discount, it will be $299,999. Would you like to pay the deposit first or full payment?”

“Full payment, please.”

There’s nothing to nitpick about the specification or the design of the motorcycle. Max didn’t hesitate to pay it entirely as he is very satisfied with it. He can already imagine himself riding it and looked very cool as he arrived at the crime scene.

“The building process will take around one month to complete. After that, we will have a test drive, and we can make some final adjustments. Usually, we’re doing the test drive on the district 7 circuit, and you can bring it home with you if you’re satisfied.”

“Okay, just call me later when the bike is ready.”

“Meanwhile, I suggest you to get a driving license first.”

“Ah, I almost forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me.”

“After all, we’re a legal shop. We won’t be able to let you drive the motorcycle home before you got a license for it.”

“Don’t worry. I will have it ready in one month.”
