Freaks' Squeele Vol. 5

A titanic battle against a team of super-good guys, a deadly curse, tango lessons, and a descent into Hell . . . Florent Maudoux’s madcap hero college series continues, and things get even crazier!

Chance, Xiong Mao, and Shadow certainly didn’t expect this when they signed up for Hero University! And to think they’re only first-year students . . . At a time when the rivalry between Saint-Ange’s school and the Facility of Extracurricular Academic Heroism (FEAH) has never been stronger, they’ll not only have to fight to stay alive but also do everything they can to boost their popularity! Especially since, in the eyes of the world, it seems like they’re the bad guys in the story . . .

At FEAH, students Chance, Xiong Mao, and Shadow will discover the joys of university life, the ruthless competition between students, sadistic professors, and the stress of exams. At this university, special individuals learn how to manage their powers as well as their public image, both necessary to obtain a superhero license . . . Whether through the use of supernatural magic or special genetic features, the students have a lot of history to overcome, both personal and social.
