FFirst off, many thanks to those who reviewed this fic, I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the current story arc picks up where the last chapter left, in which the villain of this arc is now a free man, and is plotting revenge on Naegi.
He is hell-bent on getting een while at the same time having an ulterior motive on why he is after the Luckster.
Well, read on and enjoy!
A week later, the scene shifts to Fuhito Kirigiri's house, and there you can see Kyoko Kirigiri is sipping tea while looking at the laptop as she is checking on files from the police that shows a list of unsolved cases, and she is considering in lending her talents in helping the police, as she wanted to test her abilities as a detective, but then her grandfather came and talked to his granddaughter, his face filled with worry and told her the situation, in which she gave a rare reaction which showed a hint of emotional surprise as he told her that Aru Pachinko, AKA the Godfather, was granted parole, and he is now a free man.
"What was that, grandfather?"
"The man you sent to jail several months ago…he is free."
"How…?"
"He was given a parole…for good behavior."
"At such a short time…?"
"I don't know how…but he may have fooled the prison officials…"
"Damn…"
"Calm down, Kyoko…"
Kirigiri clenched her fists as she could not believe that the Parole Commitee granted a dangerous mafia head a parole given the charges levied against him and sensed that something is amiss, and she is planning to head to Tokyo Prison to get answers there, but Fuhito advised her to keep her cool and said he will do the investigation and she should focus on staying vigilant as he has a feeling that Aru plans to get even with her, but then she realized that Naegi maybe targeted given that he is the one who stopped Pachinko, and she would have to inform Naegi about this as soon as possible.
"You need to stay cool, Kyoko."
"…"
"For now focus on Hope's Peak."
"…yes…"
"And you must tell Naegi-kun about this as well. After all, he is the reason why Pachinko landed in jail in the first place."
"Yes, you're right."
"and you need to ach your back as well."
"Of course."
After a lengthy discussion, Kirigiri finished her breakfast and is ready to go, and Fuhito went to get his car keys as he will escort her to Hope' Peak Academy so he wouldn't have to worry about her traveling by herself as he would anticipate Pachinko ambushing her. The two then left the house and drives away, and they are wondering what Pachinko inte d to do next now that he is a free man.
Believe It Or Not by Joey Scarbury
(Opening Song from The Greatest American Hero)
Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself;
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
Should've been somebody else.
Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.
Just like the light of new day,
It hit me from out of the blue;
Breakin' me out of the spell I was in,
Makin' all of my wishes come true.
Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.
Ch. 105: Naegi Makoto no kari
At a hideout somewhere in Tokyo, Pachinko is there and his right-hand man arrived with new recruits, and each of them appeared to be adept in using guns, and they appeared to be intimidating, though there is a slight hint of being inept, but their intimidating appearance and their rather muscular built seemed to overshadow the slight error, and Pachinko decided to accept them, and there his trusted hacker came and told his boss that he is able to figure out where Kirigiri frequently went - Hope's Peak Academy, and said that he can come up with a plan to sneak in there and find her.
"Here it is, boss…Hope's Peak Academy…"
"…"
"And I found her."
"Kyoko Kirigiri?"
"Yup. Here she is."
"Good."
"And I found which section she is in."
"Alright."
Pachinko is quite impressed at the hacker's resourcefulness, but he then stated that he wanted to know where to find Naegi, and there the hacker revealed that he managed to find Naegi, saying that he also studies at Hope's Peak Academy, and Pachinko's eyes widened, seeing that this is his chance to make him pay for the humiliation he got that led him to being imprisoned for the past six months, and there he asked his right-hand man if the weapons are ready, which he said that they are.
"You have weapons?"
"We have them, boss."
"Machine guns?"
"Here."
"RPG?"
"Here."
"Missile launchers?"
"Here."
Pachinko's right-hand man then asks the hacker if he has the picture of this Naegi, but then Pachinko saw a manga, which he picked it up, and it turns out that the manga is about Captain Gonzo, and seeing the main character, he mistook it as Naegi due to the character resembling Naegi and told his men that this is what Naegi looked like, and the goons blinked their eyes at what they saw, asking Pachinko if he is the one they wanted to find.
Of course, Pachinko said so, mainly due to his obssessive fixation on the SHSL Luckster.
"That's him?"
"That's the guy you want us to find?"
"A manga character?"
"Are you sure, boss?"
"Er…boss…that's a manga…"
"Are you sure about what you're saying, boss?"
"A guy from the manga?"
"Is this really the guy you're after…?"
Pachinko insisted that the Captain Gonzo character is Naegi and gave the goons orders to find him and brought him here whether he is alive or dead, and the goons just nodded and leaves, and Pachinko is livid, yet excited, that he would finally get the chance to make Naegi pay, and his right-hand man asks his boss in curiosity on why is he fixated in finding Naegi, and there he said that Naegi is the reason why he got imprisoned, and he intends to make him pay for the humiliation he suffered, and the right-hand man scratched his head in confusion seeing Pachinko getting obsessed in getting revenge on a mere high school boy, but nevertheless decided to support him all the way.

Much later, the scene shifts to Hope's Peak Academy, where Naegi is there chatting with Maizono, and they are discussing the normal topics which they are enjoying each others' companies, and while no one else is around yet, Kirigiri arrived and found Naegi, and there she approached him and told him the latest situation, and he stood up in surprise upon hearing this as he could not believe that such a dangerous criminal would be given and granted a parole, and the two talked about how this happened while Maizono listens to the topic in curiosity.
She was a bit worried about the topic she is listening about.
"Pachinko was given a parole?"
"Calm down, Naegi-kun."
"But…how…?"
"I don't know how. I just got the news from my grandfather."
"But.. the charges…the evidences…there is no way that he…"
"I believe he used something to fool the parole committee…"
"…"
"…"
Their discussion was cut short when the teacher came and the rest of the students arrived and everyone took their seats and classes began, and there things went well and the first portion of the day went on until lunchtime came, and during lunch, Naegi is eating at his seat with Maizono joining him and there she asks what is he going to do if he encounter Pachinko, which he appeared hesitant to answer but then said that if Pachinko makes an attempt on his life he may have to fight him, yet she asks how would he send the crook back to jail and he said it would depend on the evidences presented.
"That…depends."
"Eh?"
"If I manage to show proof that Pachinko is trying to murder me…then his parole would be revoke and won't get out of jail."
"But…if what Kirigiri-san said is true…that criminal might…"
"That's why I'll be careful…"
"However…you need to bring that SUIT with you…"
"I know."
"Naegi-kun…"
By then, the academy vice-principal came and approached Naegi telling him he has an errand to carry out which he obliges, and gives Naegi some money and Naegi leaves the academy and is going to do an errand, and as Naegi leaves the academy, he did not notice that a car is parked nearby, and the occupants were two goons and Pachinko himself, and the goons were in disbelief to see Naegi running, asking their boss if he is the one they are going to hunt.
"That's him?"
"That's the kid you're talking about?"
"Yup! That's him!"
"I can't believe it…"
"The kid looked wimpier that the guy on the manga…"
"Don't be fooled. He's the brat who sent me to jail."
"Eh?"
"How?"
"Shut up and follow him."
Pachinko insisted that Naegi is the target and said that he is the SUPER GUY, and told his men that he will prove that it was Naegi who send him to jail six months ago and motions the driver to go after him, and the car drives away and followed Naegi discreetly and their trip reached a bookstore several blocks away from the academy, and there Pachinko is bidding his time on when to spring out and get Naegi, and while inside the bookstore the transaction between the book seller and Naegi is ongoing.
"Here you are."
"Thanks. Here's the payment."
"Thanks, kid."
"Sure, sir."
"Better hold on to them."
"I will. Got to go."
"See you, kid…and thanks."
"Yeah."
As the transaction ended, Naegi began to gather the books he bought and is ready to leave, but the book seller called him back and asks him if there are any requirements in getting scouted at Hope's Peak Academy, saying he has a daughter who is currently a first year in high school, and he is wondering if she could be enligible to enroll at the academy, and Naegi answered the book seller's questions, which helped the book seller a lot.
"A talent, you say?"
"Yes, sir."
"Hmm…"
"If your daughter has something she is good at, and if the scout noticed it, it might give them consideration to invite her to enroll at Hope's Peak."
"Really?"
"Yes, sir."
"I see. Thanks."
"Sure."
After that, Naegi took his leave, and is walking back the streets en route to Hope's Peak Academy, and there he is walking beside a female senior citizen and the woman began chatting with Naegi seeing him as a nice boy and Naegi began reciprocating the compliments, until a snatcher came past them and grabbed the woman's purse and ran off, and Naegi is pissed at this and dropped the books to go after the snatcher, and there Pachinko saw this and told the driver to go after Naegi, saying this is the chance to prove that Naegi is the SUPER GUY.
"There he goes! After him!"
"Uh…okay."
"Do we kill him?"
"Not yet! We're going to prove that the kid is the SUPER GUY!"
"Huh?"
"What?"
"You heard me! Drive faster!"
"Uh…okay…"
The other two goons glanced at each other and sweat-dropped seeing that their boss is acting rather obsessive towards Naegi, and they began to make wild guesses, and they begin to wonder if Pachinko developed a fetish towards younger boys and even assume that their boss has becone a homosexual which Pachinko heard it and aimed his gun at the two, dismissing the claims and threatening them if they make another wild accusation towards him.
"What was that?"
"EEEKK!"
"WHOA!"
"I'm not gay, you hear?!"
"Y-yes…"
"W-we got it!"
"I'm after that kid because he sent me to jail and I want revenge on him! And I will prove that he's the SUPER GUY! GET IT?!"
"Y-yes, we got it!"
"Ease with the gun, boss!"
Pachinko then told the driver not to lose sight of Naegi as the chase between Naegi and the snatcher is ongoing and he is sure that Naegi woukd reveal himself as the SUPER GUY so as to prove to his men that the SUPER GUY is real and then he will get his revenge on the Luckster, then at Kirigiri, so as to get JUSTICE for the humiliation he got six months ago.
To Be Continued... .
