A few days have passed. Mirai got permission to Investigate the Youmu. To aid in that effort, Aizawa and the other heroes pulled some strings, and Mirai managed to get her provisional license early. She was now hunting for Information regarding the Youmu.
Mirai's cloak billowed In the wind, as she walked through an alleyway. A message from Aizawa caught her attention. Pulling her phone out, her brow furrowed.
"We've been reviewing the footage of the fight, It seems someone was watching it." The message read. Attached was a grainy photo, which showed what seemed to be a person standing In some rubble.
Mirai gave a short reply and continued.
...
In the following days, the Heroes picked up more leads, the new Info pointed to a small gang having come Into contact with the suspect.
"What do you know about this person?" Mirai asked, holding up the grainy photo. The gang looked perplexed.
"We don't know anything about him." The leader said, Mirai nodded and put away her phone. "Odd, I didn't mention gender." Mirai then formed a blunt Kunai and stabbed the man In the chest.
The man was knocked back. The other gang members quickly encircled her. Mirai sighed, and formed a dull sword. "Damn, Kill the girl!" The gang all attacked at once.
Mirai dodged a punch from one, then parried another. She then quickly spun, knocking the gang members back.
"What are you doing? Get up!" The leader yelled, at his now unconscious gang. Mirai raised her blade to the leader.
"Alright fine! I know who he is, I'll tell you all I know!" the leader then gave Information, and Mirai was on her way.
…
A few hours passed, Mirai had finished relaying the Info to Aizawa.
"What do you think? He seems to be behind this In some way." Mirai said In a hushed voice as she walked through a bare alleyway.
"It seems like that's the same guy, based on the description. Proceed with caution, we don't want this guy to cause any more trouble." Aizawa replied.
As the call ended, Mirai sighed once more.
Just who is this guy? She thought to herself, as the city lights began to turn on.
…
A few days later… The License exams are on their final day, as the exams are reaching their climax Mirai closes In on her target.
Mirai raises her phone to her ear.
"Aizawa, It's me. I think I've tracked him down, should I engage?" Mirai asked as she could see the man Inside the abandoned Warehouse.
"Yes. Take him In if possible." With confirmation from Aizawa Mirai began to confront the man.
The wall was blown away. The man jumped and looked over to the newly created entrance. Mirai walked calmly, her hero costume hiding her face from the man.
The man stood wearing an unbuttoned Black Coat. accompanying his coat he wore boots and black jeans. The man had brown hair and black unnerving eyes. The man looked young, possibly just as old as Mirai.
"Huh…" The man eked out as he seemingly cowered In fear. Mirai approached the man. "Enough, you're under arrest." The man stepped away clutching his stomach.
"Ha… Haha Haha Haha!" The man began laughing. Mirai eyed the man with caution.
"Are you a hero?." The man looked back with sadistic eyes, no longer clutching his stomach, his hands slowly moved to his pocket. "What's your name?" He prodded as he cocked his head to the side.
Mirai shouted to the man "My name Isn't Important to you, Hands up, you're under arrest." Mirai formed her sword and held It out in front of her.
"Or what?" the man slid his hands Into his pocket. The man continued to maintain eye contact. "I'll answer one question of yours, then I'm ending this." The man said with an odd amount of confidence.
"Who-" The man suddenly cut off Mirai "Ah, you should know who I am before right… well… My name Is… Mazoku Gesshoku, a pleasure to see you!" The man gave an exaggerated bow. "Now, what's your name?"
Mirai gave no response, the man gave an exaggerated frown. "No fun." Suddenly the wall behind Mirai was blown to pieces. Mirai turned to face the threat, her face becoming slightly pale as she stared It down.
"N-Nomu." She said as the grey skinny creature approached her. The man laughed," Sorry, but that's half right."
Turning her gaze to the man," What do you mean?" She exclaimed. The man began to walk off Into the shadows," Wait!" Mirai shouted, launching herself towards the man.
A sudden strike knocked Mirai Into the nearby wall. Mirai stood up and stared at the Nomu, Mirai could see a thick black Aura emitting from the Nomu.
"That's… Impossible…" Mirai stared the Nomu down, the Aura then shot forward. Leaping from the wall, Mirai cut down the Tendril, The Nomu suddenly shot forwards throwing a right hook, Narrowly missing Mirai.
This is just like that Youmu I fought a few days ago.
Mirai's thoughts were Interrupted by a barrage of both fists and tendrils. Mirai quickly formed a shield, after nearly three dozen hits In a few seconds, It broke under the pressure knocking Mirai back.
Standing up once more, Mirai caught her breath.
Multiple quirks as well as the abilities of a Youmu! I might not be able to win this. Mirai's thoughts raced as the Nomu sprung forward once more.
"Damn It all!" Mirai sprung to meet It head-on. The Nomu kicked at her, ducking under it, reinforcing her leg with blood Mirai swept the Nomu off Its feet with her sword. In a second she bloodied the floor and sprung away.
As the Nomu got up, It was skewered by multiple spikes. Skidding to a stop Mirai shot forwards once more, building up strength for the final blow.
In a few seconds, her sword collided with the Nomu's neck, after a moment her sword snapped. Mirai was forced to roll to minimize Injury. Catching her breath she looked back towards the Nomu.
The Nomu broke free of the spikes and turned to face her.
"Did it harden Its skin like All for One… no this is different." Mirai took quick notice of the Nomu's dark aura.
The Nomu's tendrils shot out once again. Mirai winced as she dodged as many as she could. Missing her footing, One struck her cutting her on the waist.
"Enough!" Mirai lept backward quickly taking off her ring, before launching herself off nearby crates. She flung her sword, splitting off Dozens of droplets, before leaping to the floor and charging from a new angle.
The Nomu launched tendrils again, but they were Intercepted by the droplets. The Nomu then swung at Mirai, who met the punch head-on.
With an audible clang, the fist collided with a gauntlet made of blood, which surrounded Mirai's whole hand, Mirai had caught the Nomu's punch. As her arm shook from the effort, the Gauntlets palm erupted with spikes, and Mirai pumped her blood Into the Nomu.
After what seemed like hours, The Nomu collapsed. Catching her breath, Mirai slid her ring back on. Her head was spinning, and her heart was beating so loud she could hear It. After giving Aizawa a call about the Nomu, she began slowly making her way back to UA.
