After his preparations were completed, Izuku then headed to the meeting room to gather with the other raid teams. This invading team consists of 6 people, each with their class, team leaders, tankers, healers, warriors, mages, and assassins.
Izuku arrived at the meeting room, 4 people had already gathered there.
" Sorry I'm late "
One of the men in the room stood up and approached him. He is a big man with a lot of muscles, brown hair, and a scar on his left eye.
" it's okay, we are still waiting for the leader to come, you must be that rumored trainee, I am Daichi Isamu, B-rank tanker, nice to meet you "
" Nice to meet you too, my name is Izuku, E-rank assassin, please help everyone "
" Hey, hey, isn't he just a kid, we already have a troublesome teenager over here and now they want us to babysit a child? "
A tall blond man with a sword around his waist approached him and looked down on Izuku. He squinted his eyes at him, indicating that he didn't like him.
" hey, who are you calling the troublesome, old man "
A teen boy with white hair and his body covered with bandages to cover his burn marks. He looked at the blond man with a disapproving look.
" Leave him alone, besides that he's quite cute isn't it, by the way, I'm Kiyoko Manami, B-rank healer, and the blonde over there was Katsuhito Masao, C-rank swordsman, and the white-haired boy there is Todoroki Touya, a mage, he is also E rank just like you. Nice to meet you boy "
A beautiful woman with blue hair and green eyes stood behind him. She smiled at Izuku and tried to hug him, but Izuku immediately avoided her.
" aw..., please let this elder sister hug you just once... "
" Stop it, he's clearly uncomfortable with it"
Izuku turned his head to see a red-haired man with gray eyes carrying a big sword on his back.
" seems to have all gotten acquainted with each other, I am Ichirou Hiroto, A-rank swordsman, the leader of this raid this time, it's nice to meet you guys "
After Ichirou arrives and introduces himself, they begin a briefing for the raid. Starting from basic information such as dungeon grade, the monsters in it, and the battle formations they will use.
Ichirou is very good at giving directions since he was a veteran Hunter. He has been a Hunter for 5 years and he is also an A-rank hunter.
Hunter's rank is determined based on their rank and ability. But for the team leader, it also includes how they manage the team. There are currently about 30 A-rank, 100 B-rank, 350 C-rank, and more than a thousand D-ranks and E-ranks actively serving as Hunters throughout Japan. There is also an S-rank among the Hunters, but there are too few of them. Japan only had 5, and Sugimoto Reiji is also one of them.
Each Hunter on duty is divided into several raid teams. There are currently more than 200 active teams. This team is not always permanent, members can change at any time, and as long as Hunters can fight, they can be deployed at any time.
Just like the current team, this team is intended to train beginners like Izuku and Touya to get used to the battles inside the dungeon. They have indeed received training, but what happens on the field is often different from training, so they need a companion to ensure the new Hunter's safety.
They had finished the briefing and were currently heading towards the gate. The location of gate is near an abandoned building in Yokohama.
The gate's rank is a D-rank, suitable for training beginners. The monsters faced are also only wolf kind of monsters, just like the ones Izuku faced when entering the instant Dungeon.
" are you nervous Izuku-Kun?"
Kiyoko approached him from behind. She put her face closer, Izuku was quite surprised and quickly retreated.
" not really, it's just that it's been a long time since I get into the gate "
" tsk, arrogant brat "
Katsuhito walked past him and soon entered the gate. Others began to follow him inside.
Inside the dungeon, it looked like a cave that brought back unpleasant memories for Izuku. The picture of the huge statue he encountered when he first entered the dungeon was still vivid in his head. He shook his head to erase those pictures, refocusing on the raid in front of him.
They kept going, eventually, they met the first group of enemies. Just like before, Izuku faced a group of wolves, but now he is not alone, he came as a group.
The wolves start attacking them, Ichirou, Katsuhiko, and Daichi guard the first line, Izuku guards the back line, and Todoroki burns the rest with fire, while Kiyoko supports them with buff magic. They finished it pretty quickly, they kept walking in and facing more monsters the more they left.
They finally reached the boss room, the boss monster was a Dire Wolf with an army of other wolves in it. The formation they used was still the same, but this time they let Izuku and Todoroki take care of the boss alone while the rest of the team took care of the rest of the wolf. Although Katsuhiko opposes it, he eventually agrees because he can't argue with Ichirou.
Izuku rushes toward the boss, while Todoroki supports him from behind, he burns every wolf that will pounce on Izuku. Izuku attacks the boss's ankle with [Rasaka's Fang, leaving a paralyzing and bleeding effect on him.
Dire Wolf fell to his knees, Izuku continued to attack using his sprint skills to increase his attack speed. Dire Wolf's body was covered in scars and began to bleed, Izuku then cut off his head to finish the fight.
A familiar ringing and a notice appeared in front of him.
ring~
[The dungeon boss has been killed.]
[You leveled up]
[You leveled up]
He smiled when he saw the notification in front of him. It's been a long time since he fought monsters, he just did his daily exercises so that his level improved quite slowly. He then checked his status.

He smiled knowing that his level had improved, he looked around and found his other teammates had finished with the wolf army. They gathered after collecting the wolf mana crystals.
" good job everyone, now let's leave here before the gate closes "
They all came out of the dungeon, they were greeted by the Bureau's agents as soon as they came out. Ichirou is approached by agents to complete the report, while members of his raid head near the car to rest and clean up their equipment.
Kiyoko then approached Izuku who was cleaning the blood stains from his dagger. She sat down beside him and struck up a conversation with him.
" so Izuku-kun how is your first raid? "
" not so bad, it's easier thanks to everyone's help "
" is that so, then what about the little party after this to celebrate your first raid? "
" is it okay? then what about the others? "
" of course, they have to come, it's a celebration after all "
Ichirou and Daichi then join the conversation with them after finishing their business with the Bureau's agent.
" Sounds fun, I know my good yakiniku restaurant near the Bureau office "
" then what about you two? are you guys coming? "
Kiyoko then turned her gaze to Todoroki and Katsuhiko. Katsuhiko just ignored her and left, while Todoroki was about to leave but was stopped by Kiyoko.
" where do you think you're leaving young man?!, this is a celebration for you too, so you have to come no matter what!! "
With Todoroki being dragged by Kiyoko, they head to the restaurant Daichi recommended to them. There are not many people at this time in the restaurant, they are sitting at a table for 6 people waiting for orders.
While waiting, they started sharing conversations about themselves, mostly asking about Izuku and Todoroki since they were new. Both Izuku and Todoroki are still willing to answer some questions, mostly Izuku, but when it comes to personal questions, Izuku just smiles at them, and Todoroki just shuts up.
Izuku tries not to reveal his personal life as much as possible. He just didn't want people to remember him as part of his former family.
They kept talking until finally Kiyoko got drunk and started sticking to Izuku. When she was about to start making a fuss, Daichi knocked her unconscious and decided to take her home to the apartment where she lived. They decide to go home after Ichirou escorts Todoroki and Izuku to the Bureau's dormitory.
Ichirou then leaves them in front of the dormitory, leaving Izuku alone with Todoroki. The atmosphere between the two of them was awkward, Izuku tried to dilute the atmosphere by starting a conversation.
" so Todoroki-San you also live in a dormitory too?"
" None of your business "
Todoroki then walked away to the dormitory leaving Izuku alone. Izuku just stared at Todoroki as he went further.
' grumpy man '
Izuku then moved from where he was standing and decided to stop by the library. Izuku quite often goes to the library to study or to be alone. There are still many things he doesn't know about this world, also to fulfill his hobby of analyzing things.
Izuku arrived at the library, and the librarian recognized him and greeted him as soon as she sees him. She is one of the staff working in the Bureau. Her name is Tomomi Yuri, she has short brown hair, clear green eyes, and thick glasses.
" you came again today too, Izuku-Kun?"
" ah!, yes Tomomi-San, how was your day?"
" same as usual, how about you? I heard that you are going to do your first raid today, so how was it? "
Izuku smiled at Tomomi and then replied.
" nothing special, thanks to everyone's help the raid is much easier "
" is that so, it's good to hear it.
oh!, by the way, the book you asked for me has been saved for you, wait a minute I will grab it right away "
Tomomi looked for something in his desk drawer and took a few books and handed them to Izuku.
" thank you Tomomi-San, I appreciate it "
" are you welcome, but you are amazing, not many people are willing to read books these days, is there any reason?"
" This is just part of my hobby, can I borrow a place here?"
" sure, sure, use as much as you like "
" thank you Tomomi-san "
Izuku headed to one of the chairs by the window. There are not many people in the library, so he can enjoy and focus on his work.
Izuku opened a few pages and read it, he borrowed a book containing information about monsters. Izuku also took a few books from the shelf containing the same topic.
Izuku often did personal research on monsters during his training and he still does it today. Izuku also had time to make a paper on mustard which was appreciated by the coaches.
Izuku often studies monsters, ranging from their types, characteristics, habits, strengths, and weaknesses. In addition, he also learned about the strategy and attack patterns in the raid, as well as the rules of the Hunter. Izuku wrote it down in the notebook he always carried with him to collect information.
There were so many things he didn't know about gates, Hunters, and monsters. He wanted to know why they were all in the first place and the reason why mana was different from quirkless even though the use could be said to be similar.
Izuku tried to find the answer, but he only found it vague. He has some theories, but still has no evidence to prove his theory. He can only continue to study and continue to enter the gate to find the truth. One day, he will expose the truth about this power.
Izuku spent his time in the library until the library clock closed, he went to the front desk to borrow some books to take to his room in the dormitory.
" excuse me Tomomi-San, can I borrow these books to take home?"
" sure, but be sure to return it after 3 days okay!? "
" well, thank you Tomomi-san "
" you are welcome, see you again Izuku-Kun "
On the way to the dormitory, he met Todoroki who was sitting alone on the park bench in the dormitory. His face looked blankly at the sky, he looked like he was lost in thought. Izuku decided to approach him and greet him.
" Todoroki-San?! "
Todoroki saw who was calling him, he clicked his tongue when he saw Izuku, then took his gaze off him.
" tsk, what do you want? "
" what are you doing here? "
" None of your business "
Izuku looked at Todoroki, he then tried to ask the question that was in his head when he heard his name.
" Todoroki-San, are you perhaps the son of the no. 2 hero, Endeavor? "
Todoroki widened his eyes when he heard the name. He then grabbed Izuku by the collar, pulling it roughly.
" you, where did you hear it?! "
" j-just guessed, when I heard your surname, it was the same name as the name Endeavor "
Todoroki let go of his grip letting Izuku fall.
" tch, sharp boy, so what? are you going to make fun of me? "
" no, I'm just curious, but why did you become Hunter Todoroki-San "
" Why should I tell you "
" did I go too far? I'm sorry for that because we're on the same team so I thought it would be better if we become good friends.
Again sorry to bother you, I'll excuse me, see you later"
Izuku then turned towards his dormitory, leaving Todoroki behind. Todoroki looked at Izuku's increasingly distant back.
' tsk, he's just a kid, what does he know '
._
