Annonnymous: Silverfang and Garou will appear in this story
MCKERTIS: I'm sorry if whatever this 'playlist' is annoying you. But if I have to guess, it has something to do with the opening sequence in the first chapter, right? Right. I'll try to refrain from doing that in the future. Your criticism is much appreciated, but please, do tone your insults down a bit. You haven't even read the rest of the chapter to determine whether my fic is a "shit-tier list" or not.
Anyway, enjoy the chapter.
King's Household..
King was sitting on the corner of his room, comforting the girl that was by his side, who was still crying. The ice cream seller sat besides him, not knowing what to say, not knowing what to do either.
Izumi's tears soaked the floor, which caused King's heart to shatter. Yagi...why'd you do that man? You know you're outmatched..the pro-heroes themselves were struggling against those hordes of monsters!
King himself was distressed too, seeing how his friend acted accordingly to his impulsive tendencies. He then had one thing in his mind right now: I hope dad doesn't wake up for a bit... it'd be awkward to explain..
King was also distressed about other things, the fact that the pro-heroes wasn't enough to handle the monsters, and the fact that there are over millions of monsters surrounding his school, according to the news report.
Who else could stand to them? No one. He only had one figure in his mind that hasn't shown themselves up in the battlefield: The famous and controversial 'vigilante whom disappears'. The vigilante is known to end his fights with only a single blow from his fist, only to disappear as the fight is over.
For King, he had a close encounter with the vigilante a year ago...
A year ago...
A blue-hooded teen, King, fell to his butt as multiple civilians were running away from the scene. A monster has emerged, and the pro-heroes were on their way to stop it.
But he was too cowardly to even move an inch from his original place, too scared to even think to run.Suddenly, the monster lunged at him, "DIEEEE!!" it screamed, as it used it's claw to slash King apart.
King barely dodged it, instead of hitting his body, the slash hit his right eye, as three claws made their mark on his eye as a wound.
King screamed in pain, "AGHHH..!!! No! No! PLEASE, NO!" He closed his eyes, rubbing his wound in panic, "IT HURTS! IT HURTS!" He cried wimply on the ground, closing his eyes as fear began to overtake him, "NO! NO!" Of course, nobody helped him. Everyone is scared of him, and he was isolated and ostracized by everyone.
How could he expect someone to come and help him other than the pro-heroes?
But then, it all changed when he heard that soft and kind voice from above him.
"Hey, hey, it's all fine now." A voice that looked like it came from a teen reassured, putting his hand on his shoulders.
King retaliated, mistakingly seeing this as a trick from the monster to lure him in, "NO, GET AWAY FROM ME! HELP!" He screamed, still closing his eyes, the blood on his right eye still fresh.The teen said again, "Calm yourself, dude, I'm not the monster."
King was still crying. That's right. He's so cowardly, so wimpy, that he didn't even know why everyone on his school feared him. "Just open your eyes, slowly. Breathe and relax." The voice calmly spoke again.
King slowly opened his eyes, only to see a blurry figure with a white cape on his back. The figure was a middle-schooler, wearing a usual school uniform, whilst wearing a black mask that were usually used by robbers, with a white cape on his back. The monster was also defeated behind him.
King couldn't help but notice that the teen was heavily injured, though he didn't seem to mind it very much. The teen then asked, "That must've hurt. You okay? Wait, don't answer that, of course you're not okay." The teen sighed, "You should've run. Panicking does nothing in your favour, dude. You could've died." He calmly reprimanded him.
"S- sorry..." King apologized, "I guess I was a coward.." The teen laughed lightly, patting King on his shoulder, "Don't get so tensed up. I'm not mad or anything, just trying to give you a friendly advise. What's your name, by the way?"
King didn't want to tell him his name, as it was too embarrassing.. "Um...I...uh.." King was interrupted when the teen who saved him laughed amusedly, "Nah, it's fine if you're too shocked to even talk right now."
"Why did you help me...?" King suddenly asked. The teen, or for better words, the vigilante, stared at him for a second, before replying, "The pro-heroes were late to arrive. If I didn't help, you could've died. Honestly, I was planning to leave this aside, but you needed help, so I helped."
King then responded, "T- Thank you...I owe you my life, honestly.."
The young vigilante replied, "It's no problem, and hey, if we ever meet again, maybe we could be friends!" King was surprised by his answer. A friend? He only had one. Everyone was afraid of him.
"Ah crap, I think I need to go." The vigilante suddenly stood up, before walking away, "See you later then, mysterious kid."
The teen then spoke again, tilting his head to his behind slightly, "The ambulance is on their way to you. The wounds on your right eye is no joke."
The teen then walked away, still oblivious to his own wounds much to King's confusion, "Wait! You're still injured! I can-"
The teen shook his head, "No need. Besides, I have to go. If I stay here, I'm dead." He replied, before continuing, "Be careful out there, don't hesitate to run the next time a monster appears, okay?" He then waved his hands as he ran away from the scene.
Later on...
King was in front of the recipient, reaching for his wallet to pay the hospital for treating him. His dad was a heavy sleeper, so he couldn't come to see him. He sighed as he realised that he didn't have enough money.
But then, the recipient spoke politely, "Oh, I forgot to mention one thing but.." She then pulled out a small package filled with yen's, "This is for you, right? Some mysterious kid came to us and told us that he's paying for the 'eye-scarred hooded kid'. He didn't mention a name though, but as far as I know, you're the only one with an eye scar at the moment."
King stared at the recipient for a moment, before tears started to leak out of his eyes. The vigilante went out of his way to...to pay for him? After getting himself injured to beat a monster for him? Why? Why did he do that?
"K- kid??" The recipient asked in panic, "You okay?! Why are you crying?"
King immediately shook his head, before smiling, "No, no, I'm fine, it's just..I feel touched that someone would pay for my hospital bills.."
"So it is you." The recipient smiled, "Consider yourself lucky then. I don't know who that is, but my advise, you better get quick and thank him in person."
King then nodded, before walking away. King's eyes were filled with tears as he walked. Whoever he is, wherever he is, he will find him someday to thank him in person..
A news report caught his attention, and papers has been made. He read some of it, only to read that 'The vigilante whom disappears strikes again in earlier's monster attack'.
"So he's been doing this for a while..." King muttered, before walking away again. He will find him one day.
The Present...
As he dived deeper into his memories, King realised one thing...
Both the vigilante and Yagi shares a few similarities, the kindness, the heroic vibe, all of it, they share a lot in common. Could it be...?
The TV suddenly caught his attention. Amidst the conflict, where even the top ranked pro-heroes were reaching to death's doorstep, a blur appeared faster than the eye could perceive.
It was Yagi, standing in front of the number three ranked hero, Superalloy Darkshine. The boy lifted his hands in the air, before giving everyone a thumbs up.
The words that King can muster from the live footage, was, "Don't worry, it's all fine now! Why?
BECAUSE I AM HERE!"
It's all fine now.
It's all fine now.
It's all fine now.
Hey, hey, it's all fine now!
King suddenly felt tears leaking out of his eyes as he realised something.
"Yagi.. you're..." He sobbed in amidst of his sentence, confusing the old man in his right side, though Izumi remained oblivious, as she was grieving in her own thoughts.
"You're him...?" King sobbed lightly when he saw Yagi preparing himself to fight the monsters.
The Hospital...
Shimura Nana stared in horror when the television in the room she occupied shows the image of the kid that she reprimanded for his vigilantism.
"I- is that HIM?!" Nana screamed, her voice startling her best friend, who was sitting besides the bed she's in, "Nana?"
"That's him! That's Toshi!" Nana shouted again. Bamboozled, Sorahiko turned his gaze to the television, and had the same look on his face as Nana did.
"Problem child..." Sorahiko muttered darkly. He then turned to his injured but recovering best friend, "I know what you're thinking. Don't."
"Sorahiko, I know you're worried about me and I appreciate your concern, but the kid-" Nana was interrupted when Sorahiko spoke, "I'll do it. I'll go there and try to get the dumbass out of danger's way." And with that, Sorahiko stormed out of the room.
Nana was about to call him out, but stopped when she realises Sorahiko wasn't there anymore. She sighed, "Jeez, Toshi...aside from being a good kid, you're a crazy one too.."
Mustafa Private Middle School...
Flashy Flash tried to comprehend the situation as he laid in the ground, completely exhausted. The kid, no, whoever that is, he instantly murdered dozens of subterraneans only by going through them.
He turned his gaze on to the teen, who was standing in front of Superalloy Darkshine and Ganryu, and he noticed that there was a lack of fear on his face, and instead, he only see anger.
Flashy Flash felt himself smiling. The teen has potential. If polished enough, whatever quirk he has, it can land him on the top of the hero society.
But he can't help but be worried a bit. He was just a kid, an inexperienced, unlicensed kid who were likely just participated in the U.A exam yesterday. He forced himself to stand, to save the kid, but his body wouldn't let him to.
Damn it! If I can't save that kid, I might as well quit being a hero! Come on, body, COME ON!! Flashy Flash screamed inside of his mind.
He has decided that he would become the teacher, the excellent tutor to this teen. But that wouldn't happen if he can't save him! All that talent would go to the trashcan for nothing!
He tried to scream as his eyes threatened to shut, his consciousness on the verge of leaving him, "OI, KID! GET OUT OF HERE! LET US HANDLE THIS!" He warned.
The teen, however, only turned his head to face the ninja hero with a smile on his face.
Why is he smiling?
Before he can speak even further, his consciousness failed him. His head fell limp into the ground, his pupil drifting upward, his eyelids shut down.
What he saw last was the smiling teen, and the little bit of words he can muster, "You did a great job. Nice fight."
Toshinori faced the Subterranean King again when the hero he was speaking to fell limp to the ground.
"So I take it that you're the boss." Toshinori spoke again, "You really did a number on these guys, and kinda pissed me off too." He shot a deadlier glare at the gigantic creature, as if steam was coming out of his body.
How could he not be angry? The giant asshole put his friends, and his city, in danger.
The Subterranean King only laughed at the pitiful 'child's attempt at intimidation.
"I don't know what you're trying to do, brat, but it'd be best if you go and run like the insect you are! Don't you see who's standing right in front of you!? That's right! It is I, the Subterranean King, who brought these feeble warriors to their feet! And you, what could you possibly hope to gain by fighting me?! To change the tide?! To-" The Subterranean King was interrupted when a fist made an impact to his abdomen, sending him flying away from the scene, earning a shocked look from Superalloy Darkshine, who was standing behind him.
Yagi stared in disappointment, "Is that it? Man, I really hoped he would be of a challenge, considering his bigger size than the previous subterraneans I fought, but ah well...at least I can save the city easily."
He then turned his attention back to Superalloy Darkshine, who was still in shock at what just transpired in front of him, "I know you may think I'm crazy and all, but I'm the only one who has a chance to beat all of these guys up, so uh..." He then scratched his head, "I don't mean to order you around, but you best get both him and the other hero out of here before-"
An impact was felt behind him, and yet, Toshinori didn't feel pain. Not at all. He looked behind only to see a fist directed at him again, before Yagi decided to hold the creature's fist back with his palm.
The creature tried to pull it's hand back, but to no avail. The mere 'child' in front of it was holding it's hand back with an empty look.
"Man, I forgot you guys could be brutal at times." Toshinori remarked as he pushed the creature's hand back, breaking it's bone as it screamed in agony.
He then used it's hand to spin it around before throwing it to the sky, "Say hello to God on your way up there." Toshinori commented, before turning his head back to Superalloy Darkshine again, much to the subterraneans frustration.
"How are you...that strong? What kind of quirk do you have..?" Superalloy Darkshine asked again, his body shaking at the sight of the teen in front of him.
"I just trained hard, that's all." Toshinori replied simply, "Look, how about you listen to me and get out of here while you still can? The other heroes are injured and they need your help."
"But you need my help too-" Darkshine was interrupted when Toshinori shook his head, "It'll be over in a second, I promise." He then turned his head around, walking away from Darkshine, "I'll take care of the rest."
Darkshine was about to ask what his name was, but suddenly, Toshinori jumped away, into the direction of the helicopters who were recording the fight as a footage for the news.
Toshinori each destroyed the cameras that were pointed at him, startling the cameramen, who were not aware of his presence due to his overwhelming speed, before he landed on the ground again, cracking his knuckles.
The other creatures, however, was suddenly terrified by the display of the youngster's power. The speed he shown was insane, and the shockwave he made when he landed on the ground was great enough to send a shiver to their spine.
"I'm ready when you are." Toshinori challenged them, cracking his neck as he did.
He looked back, only to see that Superalloy Darkshine was gone, along with the other two heroes. He cocked his head to the front, smiling.
Superalloy Darkshine was running at insane speed as he carried both Flashy Flash and Ganryu.
What am I doing, what am I doing, how could I abandon a child to his plight, to his death, how could I?! HOW COULD I?!
But he was scared, unbelievably scared when he was shown the true power of the Subterranean King. Almost as if he was a fly facing against a greater life form. Him? Superalloy Darkshine, who trained all of his life, who made use of his muscle-building quirk, who searched in all of his life for a worthy foe, was utterly destroyed and defeated by the Subterranean King.
A worthy foe? A foe that could match up to my strength? I don't think that's what I wanted...Facing the Subterranean King earlier, what I wanted all along was a 'satisfying victory'!
He felt insecurities built inside of him. The insecurities told him that he is not a hero, that he just wanted to feel leisure of the glory of his strength, that he had no resolve for justice, the proof being that he abandoned the kid earlier, all because he had lost to the Subterranean King.
Should I go back? I probably shouldn't, I'm not a hero after all..I just left without saying anything..my dignity as a hero is destroyed..everyone saw me, did they not?! The camera's were there! How could I go back there?! The shame, the humiliation, it'd be too much...
In the middle of the ghosted city, he placed both the unconscious bodies of his fellow heroes on the side, before sitting near a building, pondering.
I shouldn't go back... I'm done for.. I really am... I quit as a hero.. I don't deserve the title... I never did..
But then, he felt his eyes lighten up when the screen on various buildings turned on, before revealing the words that shocked him to the core,
Ganryu, Flashy Flash, and Superalloy Darkshine saved the city from the vicious Subterraneans!

WHAT?!?!
Earlier...
CONSECUTIVE NORMAL PUNCHES
Toshinori's barrages of fist absolutely demolishes the creatures in front of him, blowing their bodies apart.
He lost count of the subterraneans that he killed. Probably over more than...a hundred thousand? Well, doesn't matter.
He took his time to look above, only to see the helicopters gone from the scene.
Probably trying to find a new camera...
When he felt something is moving to his direction from his right side, he threw a punch, not even a full punch, just a punch that you would give your friend, a playful punch, to his right side, causing a big gust of wind storming to the creature's side, overwhelming it, before sending it flying away along with the other dozens of subterraneans.
But then, Toshinori felt an aura coming from afar as he abolished most of the creatures with a single blow from his fist. The Subterranean King slowly walked to his direction, apparently survived Toshinori's punch.
"STAY BACK, CHILDREN! THIS ONE IS MINE!" The Subterranean King ordered the other subterraneans.
Huh, that's a surprise..
"I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU APES GETTING IN MY WAY!!! I'LL SLAUGHTER YOU AND TEAR YOU TO PIECES!!!" The booming voice declared, as he suddenly appeared in front of Toshinori, before thrusting one of his blade forward, to which Yagi blocked with only a swat of his arm.
The Subterranean King's emotion were oozing with pure rage, "I'LL KILL YOU, SURFACE DWELLER!!" As he thrusted the four of his blades repeatedly at the speed that no eye could see.
Toshinori reacted with even greater speed, swatting each of the strikes away with only both of his arms. As he deflected each attacks away, the Subterranean King resorted to slamming each of his blades into the ground, causing many craters to be formed in his wake.
Yagi avoided each of the attacks effortlessly, before the Subterranean King finished with a final slam with four of his blades, but Toshinori yanked away from the attack, before appearing behind the creature's back, tapping his neck lightly, "Yo, I'm behind you." He taunted. He loved taunting villains, especially hard-headed villains like this one.
The Subterranean King let out a loud roar, before hard flicking his arm into his behind, the impact sending Yagi flying away.
As Yagi landed on the ground, smokes from the ground began to envelope him.
"HAH! You're done for, human! How does it feel like? The taste of my FULL POWER!?" The Subterranean King yelled, his smirk growing wider.
However, the smoke cleared, revealing an unharmed Yagi with an expressionless look. He stared at him, before saying, "I didn't know you were good at tickling people, man."
The Subterranean King's confident look instantly turned into contempt, "WHAT?! TICKLE?! YOU! I WILL-"
Yagi appeared suddenly behind the King, his fist cocked back.
The Subterranean King looked to his back, before seeing absolute terror from behind. Toshinori's fist were very close to hitting him, and all that he saw, was
DEATH.
He then punched the Subterranean King away, blowing him apart, as his body exploded into the air, blood threatened to fall into the ground. The large amount of wind caused by Toshinori's attack also affected the subterraneans in front of him, blowing them apart too.
"Checkmate." Yagi muttered as he landed on the ground. But then, the unexpected happens. He looked back, only to see that the destroyed body of the Subterranean King are putting itself back to it's former self, completely restoring it, "YOU!" The Subterranean King roared, "You seem stronger than all of the previous weaklings that I have faced! You have potential! Join me in my conquest, and I will offer you a second seat next to my throne when I rule this world! You see, I-"
"Not interested. Get some hobbies, you can't just rule the world because you're bored. Even scammers wouldn't think of that." Yagi interrupted, his face is as expressionless as always.
"W- wha-? ARE YOU DECLINING MY OFFER, LITTLE HUMAN?! DO YOU KNOW THAT I, THE SUBTERRANEAN KING, AM-" The Subterranean King were blown apart once again by a fist coming to his face.
"Just stay down already." Toshinori then concentrated himself, before, "KILLER MOVE, SERIOUS SERIES, SERIOUS CONSECUTIVE SIDESTEP SMASHES!!" His body began creating afterimages after another, circling the now headless creature, who was seconds away from restoring his head from the supposed damage.
The afterimages cocked their fist, before launching it to the front, all the attacks focused only to the Subterranean King who was at the center. The result was devastating, as the body of the Subterranean King were vaporised by the attack, as well as the gigantic shockwave caused by the attack sent across the city, pushing all the other subterraneans away, possibly killing some of them.
Miriko stared at the scene in fear. The odd teen, who arrived earlier, completely outclassed the pro-heroes with his mysterious quirk, defeating these subterraneans that he thought were stronger than anyone else in the world like they were nothing!
How?! This fool, whoever he is...I can't just let him continue! I have to do something!
He growled in exasperation. He was supposed to be the one with all the power in the world! And to turn the world upside down with it for all the things it caused to him! But this nobody, this no-name kid that he never heard of before, he ruined everything..
He'll pay! HE'LL PAY!!
Miriko took a step forward, slowly approaching the place where Toshinori is standing after he killed the Subterranean King like he was nothing..
He's going to suffer.
Yagi's fist were enveloped by a steam after vaporising the Subterranean King with his move. He then stood straighter than before, cracking his knuckles, before turning to the other subterraneans, who backed away in fear, their thoughts clouded by the fact that they're going to die by a measly kid.
"You guys want to give up and stop eating people," Toshinori then continued with a dark look on his face, "Or get smashed like your leader did?"
Many of the subterraneans whimpered at the ultimatum that Toshinori gave. Run, or die. They wanted to run so much, but something in their mind prevented them from doing so. They didn't want to ruin their leader's honor by fleeing, both of their leaders.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Yagi, "Oi, tuft-hair," The voice was harsh, but completely adorned with anger. Yagi turned his back, only to see a brown-haired slanted-eyed kid, shooting him with a deadly glare.
Yagi, however, ignored his insult, and is only concerned by the mysterious kid's safety considering the horde of monsters that were standing in front of them, before saying, "You should get out of here before things gets bad." He suggested.
"Is that a threat?" Miriko smirked, crossing his arms. Yagi was bewildered by his question, before replying, "Uh, what? How is that a th-"
"It doesn't matter." Miriko interrupted, earning a small 'Eh?' from Yagi, "What matters is, I'm here to advise you to do something 'cooler' with that astounding quirk of yours."
"I don't have a-" Yagi was interrupted once again, and it's honestly getting on his nerves by now.
"I have a list of things for you to do, first: Punch yourself repeatedly in the face until it's beyond repair, because that is how worthless you are. Second, find a knife and eat it, let your digestive system digest it until it's done, see how painful it is! Third, find a helicopter, and find a suitable building for you to jump off of. And when you do, make sure you land on the helicopter's rotor blades so your body gets destroyed. In other words, make it your life goal for you to die the most painful death you can muster!" Miriko finished with a wide smirk.
It has to work. He's just a teen, an inexperienced one! Every single one of them has a weak mental capacity!
But then, his hopes were shattered when Toshinori spoke, "So you're like one of those trolls from the internet who tells people to kill themselves for the hell of it?" He blankly stated, "Find a hobby or something. Telling people to kill themselves for absolutely no reason at all will do nothing but harm, both to you and the victim."
Miriko took a step back, his eyes widening.
Huh?
HUH?!
HUH?!?!?!
"H- how?!" Miriko let out a shocked expression as he yelled. Yagi only stared at him, bamboozled, "How what?"
Miriko didn't answer, but instead, he clenched his fist, gritting his teeth. How did this teen...HOW?! HOOOOWWWW?!
Yagi, however, seeing the looks on his face, turned his gaze to the subterraneans, and then, back to the suspicious kid who told him to kill himself. He rubbed his chin, before putting the pieces together.
"Aha! I get it, I get it," Toshinori then pointed at the kid, "Might be some crazy stuff to assume, but you don't happen to be the leader of these man-eating lab experiments, aren't you?"
Miriko widened his eyes in fear. All of his trump cards are now gone. The Subterranean King are now dead, and his minions are too afraid to even take an action! All because of a blond-haired, normal-looking, nobody teen!
"And if I had to guess, all that mumbo jumbo stuff about me killing myself," Toshinori then pointed at him, "Was just an attempt to influence me with your quirk, right? And somehow, it doesn't work, correct? I mean, judging by your looks right now, that could be the only explanation. No one gets upset over stuff like this, not even the trolls on the internet, well, unless they're really bent on seeing the victim of their bullying to kill themselves, which is unlikely."
Miriko didn't explain anything, nor is he bothered to open his mouth to even let out a few exchange of words. He only fell to his knees in despair.
Toshinori approached him, looking down to him, "You know, something must've hurt you that bad if you really are that persistent to see everyone in this city die."
Miriko didn't respond, and only looked to the ground. "What was it?" Toshinori asked again, his stern voice can be clearly heard.
"Why...should I tell you?" Miriko asked again.
"I dunno, why not?" Toshinori retorted, "Just wanna know why you did what you did." Miriko sighed, before replying, "You won't understand! YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND! I've suffered for the entirety of my life BEING TREATED AS A VILLAIN! And I thought, if everyone really hates me that much, should I return the fucking favour?! So I BECAME A VILLAIN! LIKE THEY SO DESPERATELY WANTED! I had all that power to crush EVERYONE that I have ever hated, but you, YOU RUINED EVERYTHING! I could've.."
He began tearing up as he put both of his hands into the ground, "Now I have nothing..you ruined them all, you bastard, you piece of shit! I have nothing now, I'm back to what I used to be...a defenceless brat.."
Toshinori sighed, before replying, "So that's the reason you tried to kill everyone in the city? Man, you sure do have a childish motive. Instead of proving the ones who calls you a villain, you go right ahead and turn yourself into a scum, proving them right. You just did what we call a 'self-defeat'."
Miriko didn't respond.
"Though I get it from your point of view. Mind control quirks are considered 'villainous' these days, and I have to admit that the constant monitors from the government towards those who have it are just too much. The government is basically invading their privacy, which sucks a lot." Toshinori spoke again, before crouching to the kid, "But that doesn't excuse the murders you committed. Think about the parents that you stole from numerous kids in this city. Think about how heartbroken they are."
Miriko, once again, didn't respond. "Just because you've been bullied, doesn't mean you have the right to decide whether people live or not. The hardship you've faced is nothing compared to the amount of people you murdered today." Toshinori explained.
Miriko only chuckled lightly, "Why should I even care about that? They don't even care about me. Not even the pro-heroes cared about me. They just walk away and pretend that I don't exist."
Yagi only sighed as a response, before standing up, "Well, I guess you wouldn't understand in just a single conversation, but y'know, after all of these, I hope you'll in time understand that what you did was wrong."
"Of course you would say that, you have no idea how I feel!" Miriko spat back, gritting his teeth.
"Actually, I do." Yagi retorted, "I was bullied once, like you. But I went ahead and proved them wrong, like you should've done." He then turned his back, walking away from the kid to finish what he started, "We'll talk later after this is done."
Miriko suddenly felt the urge to ask, "Why did they bully you then?!"
Toshinori stopped, before saying, "I'm quirkless." This caused Miriko to gasp in disbelief. QUIRKLESS?! HIM?! AFTER WHAT HE JUST DID?!
"But I made it my own personal goal to ignite the hopes of those who have been bullied, like you. I believe that quirks doesn't define the person that holds them. What defines them, is they themselves." Yagi finished explained, before rushing to the front, appearing in front of the subterraneans instantaneously.
What happened next was slaughter upon slaughter. Yagi single-handedly destroyed the subterraneans, blowing them apart one by one with insane speeds.
Mirko then stared at the ground, before chuckling to himself,
Maybe I need to change my ways...
As minutes passed, Toshinori stopped right when the last of the subterraneans were killed, their corpses fell limp to the ground.
They have a lot to do with this mess..
As he stopped, he looked to the sky, only to see that the helicopter from before is broadcasting the fight once again.
Oh shit.
Before he gets caught on live TV, he sped up to where Miriko is, before grabbing onto him, sprinting away from the battlefield in an instant. Unbeknownst to him, a certain yellow-caped hero was looking for him...
With no heroes in sight, the news media made their final decision,
GANRYU, FLASHY FLASH, AND SUPERALLOY DARKSHINE SAVED THE CITY FROM THE VICIOUS SUBTERRANEANS!!!
That's all for today's chapter! I hope you enjoyed it! (To be honest, if I have to admit, this might be my worst chapter yet, but I'll improve in the next one!) Stay tuned for the next chapter!
TO BE CONTINUED!
