The door opened, a man entered the room and saw the people inside had been freed from their ties, children were holding on to one of the women and the other was discussing with a green-haired boy.

He then gathered his comrades, each of them carrying a weapon. It makes the children begin to panic and cry, the woman tried her best to calm them down but it was in vain because they were too scared.

The Villains who entered first were irritated by the sound of the children's crying, he pointed the gun he was carrying at them and began to threaten them.

" Shut up!, you useless brat, shut up or I'll shoot you! "

The woman felt responsible, she stepped forward and hid Izuku behind her back. She felt that she couldn't leave a child to face all this alone no matter how brave or calm he was, in her eyes, he was just a child that she had to protect.

Izuku widened his eyes after seeing the woman's actions. He was surprised because a stranger is willing to protect him. He rarely got protection before, not even from his parents. He has always depended on himself and rarely accepts the help of others. That's why he had to become stronger to do that.

He couldn't help but smile, it's not a bad feeling to have someone to protect you. He then looked at the Villains who kidnapped them, judging from the equipment and posture, they were almost equivalent to D-rank Hunters, besides it seemed that they already had fighting experience. It will take a while but it is not difficult to beat them. The problem is how to explain it afterward.

Izuku sighed and decided to take a more subtle approach. He quietly opened the phone that he had stored in his inventory and started recording every conversation they had. Izuku was about to open his mouth but the woman who was protecting him interrupted him first.

" Who are you? why are you kidnapping us? "

The villain looked at her and they started laughing as if the woman was asking stupid questions.

" Why should I answer that stupid question of yours, in a moment you will all be sold on the other side of the ocean as slaves, so pray while you can because no one will save you, neither the police nor those useless Heroes "

" You- "

The woman was about to curse the villain, but Izuku held back her hand. Izuku then whispered to her to cooperate with the Villains by following their words for a while until the police arrived. She then nodded in accepting Izuku's suggestion.

The Villains saw this and smiled with satisfaction at the sight of them obeying. He looked at the woman with a lustful look, he then licked his lips as he looked at her up and down.

" Well. I guess it's okay if the goods have a little damage "

The woman suddenly gasped and felt cold all over her spine. She looked at the villain with a look of contempt, she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly.

Izuku realized this was going to be the worst, even so, he was still trying to restrain himself. But the woman can't help being angry. The villain grabbed her hand and pulled her closer, they laughed as they watched the woman struggling to get her hand off.

Izuku couldn't stand it anymore and throw a punch right in the Villain's face, making him fly out of the room. Everyone in the room was shocked to see this, a child was able to send an adult man fly with just one punch.

The other Villains came back to their senses and immediately caught up with their boss who was kicked out of the room. The villain boss was lying on the floor with a broken nose and blood splattered on his face and clothes. He groaned as he struggled to get up.

" Boss!... are you all right? "

His subordinates surrounded him to see if their boss was okay. The Villain boss was furious and immediately ordered his subordinates to capture Izuku and others.

" WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU B*ST*RD!... QUICKLY CATCH THAT BOY!... "

The women and children increased their alertness and held each other's hands. The woman who had been protecting Izuku before hardened her face feeling the danger approaching.

Feeling responsible for the situation that befell them, Izuku decided to come forward to face the Villains alone. The woman prevented him from moving forward, but Izuku let go of her hand and nodded his head, telling her to believe in him.

Izuku stepped up to deal with them, his only purpose was to protect them. Izuku rushed to the Villains, defeating them one by one. They couldn't keep up with his movements and just stood there unable to do anything.

The villain's boss gets even angrier when he sees his subordinates beaten without being able to put up a fight. He looked around, his eyes caught a group of children hugging each other with a woman holding them. He then rushed towards one of the kids, got rid of the woman holding them, and caught one of them.

" Hey what are you doing?!, Let him go! "

" Shut up you b*tch! "

Hearing the sound from behind, Izuku looked back to see the Villain boss holding a little boy in his arms. Izuku tried to approach them but stopped halfway through because the villain boss pointed a knife at the child's neck.

" Don't dare to move!, or I kill this boy "

Izuku became doubtful whether he should attack or not, he didn't want the child to be injured. The villain smiled at Izuku's hesitation, he pulled the child away from them.

" Don't come close!, your green hair, raise your hand and come here quickly before I slice this boy's neck! "

The villain boss pointed at Izuku with a gun in his left hand, telling him to come slowly. Izuku followed his orders, slowly approaching the boss with his hands raised in the air.

The grinning villain boss threw the child to Izuku. Izuku reflexively caught the child and hugged him. An electronic voice sounded and an emergency quest suddenly appeared in front of him.

[An emergency search has been activated]

[Emergency Quest- Annihilation]
Some individuals have murderous intent toward the 'Player' at close range. Kill them and ensure your safety. If this quest is not completed, your heart will stop
Number of Individuals Killed: 1
Number of Individuals Killed: 0

Izuku widened his eyes as he looked at the contents of the quest. Time suddenly seemed to slow down, his head filled with the question 'Why'. The system told him to kill with the guarantee of his own life.

He may have seen countless deaths and has killed countless monsters, but he has never once killed a human being.

For Hunter, the situation of killing or being killed is common. Hunters who enter the dungeon continue to do this to survive in the dungeon. Izuku also experienced the same thing, he kept killing many monsters to become strong with the help of the system. He knew that one day he might also kill humans, he had imagined this so many times that sometimes doubts arose in his heart.

Izuku realized that the system was using him for some reason so he decided that he would also use the system, no...

He would devour the system.

Feeling the flow of time returning to normal, his head suddenly became empty and the light disappeared from his eyes. He released his grip on the child in his protection, picked up the wooden fragments next to him, then turned around and stabbed the villain Boss in the neck.

Blood splattered from the stab wounds left by Izuku, splattering on his clothes, face, and hands. Izuku's expression darkened. He dropped the wood he was holding and looked at blood-stained oh his hands.

' in the end what I'm afraid the most has finally happened '

' in the end, I killed a man '

All who saw the scene were shocked, a child was able to kill a man without blinking. The child who was near Izuku started crying loudly, he was terrified and run away from Izuku toward the woman who was with Izuku before. The woman immediately hugged the child, trying to calm him down. She looked at Izuku in horror then took a step back when their eyes met. Izuku turned his face away and turn his back to them.

" I'll find a rope to tie up other Villains, can you help calm down the children, the police will be here soon, so you will be fine "

He stared at the body of the villain boss, looking at his expression of death, Izuku recalled what kind of world he was living in. He was once again reminded that only the strong could survive, and the weak would be eliminated. He thanked him secretly for reminding him and swear to never forget this.

Izuku then walked away looking for a leash but was stopped by the woman.

" w-wait, what about you? "

" I... "

Before he could finish his words, the sound of sirens along with the blue-red light of the police car came from the front of the building. Policemen in heavily armed black uniforms broke in. They immediately caught the villains who were lying on the floor and secured the victims.

A policeman approaches Izuku but stops in shock at the sight of the villain boss's body lying lifeless in blood and Izuku's bloody appearance. He hesitated for a moment but immediately shook his head and walked toward Izuku.

" a-are you, all right? "

Izuku just nodded weakly even though his hands were tightly clenched into fists.

" let's take you to a safe place "

Izuku just obeyed following the police out of the building. Outside the building, there were several policemen standing guard with ambulances to carry the injured. Izuku was taken to the ambulance to check his condition. After making sure he was okay, he was allowed to leave. But when he was about to head to the side, Izuku was stopped by one of the policemen.

" Hey, you! "

Izuku looked at him, he saw two people approaching him after talking to the woman who had been protecting him earlier. One is a man with short black hair and the other is a cat man.

" Can we talk for a bit "

" yes "

" I just talked to the woman, she said you were the one who called the police here, can you follow us to the police station for further reports? "

" Sure "

Izuku has only given a dry answer since the beginning. He followed the police to the police station without saying a word. He remained silent until they arrived at the office. Izuku was asked to wait in the waiting room, while the police analyzed the footage on Izuku's phone.

" Hey kid, do you have a guardian to call? "

Izuku was silent for a while thinking about who to contact. He could have contacted Sugimoto but he had helped Izuku too much. Although Sugimoto is technically his guardian, Izuku doesn't want to disturb him any further, he becomes hesitant to contact him or not.

" what's the matter? do you hesitate to contact your guardians? "

Izuku just glanced at him silently and then nodded slowly. The police knew what was going on in Izuku's head, he only advised him to contact his guardian, promising that he would burden him.

Izuku just obeyed and decided to contact Sugimoto. After waiting for about 15 minutes, Sugimoto finally arrived at the police station and approached Izuku who was in the waiting room.

" You really can't sit still, right? "

" I'm sorry for the trouble I caused "

" it's okay, besides, how could you be kidnapped in the first place "

" Sorry, I guess I'm just too careless when going out by myself "

" Okay, just don't do that anymore "

" yes, I'm sorry "

Sugimoto then patted his head to say that it was okay. Outside the lounge, the police were waiting, and then knocked on the door to ask Izuku a few questions.

" Excuse me, can I talk to the child for a while? "

Sugimoto looked at Izuku, Izuku then nodded in agreement. The police then entered the room and Sugimoto left, leaving room for the police to talk to Izuku.

" Hello, your name is Izuku right?, my name is Tsukauchi Naomasa, can you cooperate and answer some of my questions "

" yes "

" Then I'll start... "

The interrogation lasts about an hour, Tsukauchi asked Izuku many questions regarding his personal information and about what happened before and during the kidnapping. Izuku just explained what was necessary and ignored the unimportant information. He only explained in a dry tone because he still felt bitter after taking someone's life.

Tsukauchi noticed this during his conversation with Izuku. He felt sorry for him for being forced to do that because of his circumstances, but he didn't believe a 9-year-old child could kill an adult without blinking.

Even so, Tsukauchi still has to do something about him, he can't let it go so easily, it would be against the laws of society. He must also take care of this child, ensure that his psychology is okay and prevent him from becoming a villain in the future.

Tsukauchi also had a conversation with Izuku's guardian, he was one of the government agents, and it turned out that they had some circumstances that they could not explain. He tried to dig but the information was somehow blocked by the top.

After requesting evidence and contacts belonging to Izuku and Sugimoto, he let them go home under 4 months house arrest sentence for Izuku and an investigation for Sugimoto. He can't give any more punishment in the future because he is still a child and he is still protected by the law. Tsukauchi can only give him detention, for the time being, Izuku's case will be re-processed through trial, or after an order from the leader.
