Hey guys, if you were expecting another chapter I'm sorry to disappoint. I realised I don't really have chapter where Izuku does jobs except for chapter 1. So this book will be about Izuku during his mercenary days. Enjoy.
Somewhere in the Mustafu, Japan, two men were walking down the streets with hoods over their heads. The youngest of the two spoke out.
"Why are we even wearing hoods? There's nobody around here."
His name was Izuku Midoriya, he had escaped from his orphanage a week ago and saved the 18 year old he was currently with.
"Precautions, Midoriya. These are just in case. Over there in the alley." He points to an abandoned alley between a post off and antique shop.
Few days ago, Izuku saved Satoshi's life and when he found out he was a gun for hire (he prefer that instead of assassin or mercenary because it sounded more professional) he had convinced him to let him be one.
They strolled into the alley and found a door that had guards who look like homeless people protecting it. Satoshi whispered something into one of the guard's ears and they were quickly searched for any wires or tracking devices. Once they finished they were let throughed.
Izuku's realised that the door actually led to a supposedly abandoned mall. Satoshi explained that it was bought by the G.F.H to act as a hideout. Inside was a haven for assassins, they could rent rooms, eat and replenish supplies as well as find contracts.
Izuku was surprised at how clean it was, on the outside it looked like a crumbling building but here, it looks like a mansion. They passed shops filled with stuff from combat armour and guns to normal things like restaurants and lounges.
"But you need to be careful, there are rules to follow." Satoshi said in a serious and slightly worried voice.
"Rules?"
Satoshi pulled a small book out from his pocket "The Asesino Codex, it's a set of rules that was created since 1790. It was created by the Assassin Guild which was renamed the G.F.H in 1913."
"Jeez, that sounds like an overused plot device."
Satoshi shrugged "Yeah but the Codex is the law here. Break a rule and you're dead. It's really serious."
As soon as he said that a man ran pass them and was gunned down by people in black uniforms.
"Those guys are the Enforcers. They're like the modern day Gestapo. [apologies if any of you dislike Nazies, this is only a analogy, they aren't actually Nazies.]
Izuku flipped through the book, memorising some pages with the help of his Photographic Reflexes [remember, the P.R can also function as Photographic Memory.]
"So what's the main stuff? Like basic rules and such."
Satoshi scratch the back of his head and though for a moment "Well obviously you can't talk about the G.F.H. Then you can't do any business in the Mall. Sorta like in John Wick."
Izuku looks confused for a bit "John Wick?"
Satoshi looks stunned for a while "Come on, John Wick? It's a popular movie. How can you not heard of it?"
"I don't watch a lot of movies."
Satoshi claps his hand on Izuku's back "After this I'm taking you to my apartment and we're gonna do a movie marathon."
Suddenly, Satoshi was shoulder checked by a man with a purple suit.
"Go fuck yourself Giran." He said flipping the guy off. He merely responded with a growl and continued smoking a cigarette.
"That was Giran, he's a broker around here. Helps put out contracts and such. He's also a major asshole."
Izuku looks and saw multiple assassin and mercenaries brushing through and buying stuff. It was like a normal mall, if normal malls sell gun and such.
They walked to a reception desk and were introduced to a woman wearing a red suit. Satoshi did some talking and after a short while, handed Izuku a form to fill.
"What's this for?" He asked
"It's your CV, brokers will hand those to potential employers in order for them to decide on someone." Satoshi answered.
This sounds to him a lot like finding a job in real life but he filled it out anyways, his age, abilities, quirks (he put down Quirkless) and other stuff. But he got stuck at one part.
"Alias?"
"It's a nickname, something to call you by. Can't use your real name here or else the employers will find and kill you if you failed a mission."
Few minutes later he was getting frustrated and wrote down a random name. Ah well, not like it matters.
He hands the form back to the receptionist who began typing things out. "Alright you're now registered in G.F.H data banks..." she pauses at his alias "Green Hood?"
Satoshi gave him a look that says 'Are you kidding me?'
Izuku shrugs and soon they were walking to another store. Thsi one fill with weapons.
"You're gonna need one of these. An weapon is a symbol of status to people like us." He pulls a FN SCAR and tested out the grip and weight. "Of course you can be weaponless, lots use quirks and all instead." He grins and points it at Izuku "But these are still used because they are soemtimes more useful, reliable and damaging than some quirks."
Izuku looks through the selection of guns and pulled a Glock 17 from the stacks.
"Good choice, lets grab some other stuff."
After that, they bought other things like a simple bulletproof vest, 2 flash grenades, 1 smoke and a pair of fingerless gloves.
"I'll pay for these for now, you'll have to pay me back next time. Got it?"
Izuku nodded and inspected the gun "So when do I do my first job?"
"Well look for some open contracts for now. Those are good for Greenies like you."
Next they went to a area with loads of boards and people looking at papers attached to them.
"Now let's find us a contract."
They went to the 'Open Contract' area and searched, but most of the contracts were either too hard or already completed.
Izuku's eyes landed on a contract on the left side of the board, near the border. It was a warehouse raid, the contractor wanted someone to steal crates of drugs from an enemy dealer. The contract had included the location and info about the warehouse. The pay was good too, 3,000,000 Yen.
"Hey Satoshi! I found a-"
Before he could finish, a hand snatched the paper away from the board. Izuku looked at the person and saw a buff man in his late fourties.
"Well what do we have here? Little kid wants to play mercenary. That's adorable."
The man was about to leave but Izuku wasn't having it. He hates being pushed around by bigger people, and even if this guy was bigger than him, he had more skills.
"I saw that first dickhead!"
The man sneers and said "Piss off lad, this is for big boys. Go play in a sand-"
He never finished because he was soon pinned to the ground with his arm twisted.
"I. Saw. It. First." Izuku repeated in a voice with no room for argument.
A guard walks up and dissolved the argument.
"You know the rules, no fighting in the Mall. Take it outside. And it's the rules that anyone who saw the contract first has the option to take it."
The man grumbles, hands over the contract and walks away, caressing his arm.
Satoshi pulled Izuku away and whisper to him. "What are you doing?! Didn't you listen?! You're lucky that wasn't a serious breach in rules or you'll be lying on the ground with two holes in your body."
Izuku shrugs and showed the contract "On the bright side, we have a job now. Let's go, it's happening tonight."
Satoshi sighs and follows him, this kid was going to be trouble.
That is all for this chapter. As you can see, Izuku doesn't make jokes yet, he has yet to learn the pop culture references. Sorry if it was boring, next chapter will have action in it. Thsi was just explaining how assassins and mercenaries work in the AU. Hope you enjoy, please leave a review.
