Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the climax of this arc commences as Pachinko continue his attempts to catch Naegi red-handed in order to prove that his target is the SUPER GUY…and now he has gotten his wish…as he holds Class 78 hostage.
See how Naegi would try to contain the situation before his secret gets compromised…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
As Class 78 are waiting for the next teacher to arrive, they have no idea that danger is about to commence, in which Pachinko and his goons, disguised as janitors, are poised to enter the classroom, and there he told the goons what to do, such as guard the doors and make sure none of the students make an attempt to escape.
The goons nodded and said this will be a piece of cake.
"Sure."
"No problem."
"Leave this to us."
"This will be easy."
"A piece of cake."
"It'll be a snap."
"Ha-ha."
"So simple."
Nodding, Pachinko told his men to make their move, and there the goons opened the door and went inside the classroom, and once Pachinko is inside, the men confronted Class 78, and some of the students blinked their eyes at seeing so many janitors coming in, but Kirigiri stared wide-eyed as she can see through Pachinko's disguise, but before she could act, Pachinko's goons brought out their guns and aimed at the students while the others locked the door, and Asahina panicked while Ohgami urged her to calm down.
"EEEKKK!"
"Asahina!"
"We're going to die! We're going to die!"
"Calm down, Asahina!"
"I don't want to die! I'm too young to die!"
"Calm down! We won't die! Believe me!"
"Someone help us!"
"Calm yourself!"
There Pachinko took off the janitor cap and walked around, where he made a demand, asking where Makoto Naegi is, and if they bring him out, he will let everyone go. Kirigiri stayed silent as she knew that Naegi is the target, but she is also aware that Naegi's secret could be exposed if things get out of hand, and she began to think of something that would give Naegi the warning about Pachinko being here inside the classroom.
As Pachinko and his men are focused on the rest of the class, they failed to notice that Fujisaki hid himself beside a thick-shaped cabinet, as he was at that time staring at the window a while ago, and upon seeing the commotion, he hid himself. It turns out that Fujisaki is among the few who was told about Pachinko, and after hearing Pachinko's demands, he realized that the mob boss wants Naegi out of revenge, and feared that this would put the SHSL Luckster at risk as this would mean Naegi might be forced to expose himself as the SUPER GUY.
Fujisaki began to send an emergency text message to Naegi in order to alert him of the danger, then sends an emergency message to Jin Kirigiri in order to let him know that Class 78 is being held hostage.
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. 112: Hitojichi kiki
Moments later, Naegi is passing by the locker area, and he decided to get something at his bag. While in front of the locker, he is getting something when his smartphone vibrated, and upon reading it, he became alarmed and worried at the situation, and he realized that Pachinko is after him and wondered how he managed to sneak inside the academy.
He thought carefully he saw the RED Suit inside his bag, and he pondered on whether to wear it or not, as he realized that he might be forced to expose himself and the secret would be leaked, yet he is conflicted as time is running out and he has to think of a way to lure Pachinko away from his classmates so that he can find a spot to safely use the RED SUIT without exposing his secret.
By then, Kizakura passes by and noticed Naegi looking distressed, and he asked the boy if there is a problem, offering to help him if there is one, and the SHSL Luckster had to fend off Kizakura as he has to hide the RED SUIT out of prying eyes.
"Oh, um…"
"It's okay. I can help."
"Th-thanks…but I'm fine."
"Really…?"
"Yes."
"Hmm…you looked nervous. Are you sure you don't have any problems?"
"No problem. Reallt."
"Sure…?"
Naegi laughed nervously and said that he is okay and that there is no problem, and assured to him that all is fine and there is no trouble, though Kizakura adjusted his hat and he could tell that Naegi is really troubled, and he asked if the boy is being bullied, which Naegi denied, but deep inside he needed to get away and think of a way to get Pachinko to leave his classmates alone and confront him and his goons in private in order to preserve the secret, and had to come up with some alibis just to get Kizakura to leave him alone.
"It's fine. I was just thinking of which place to go this weekend…"
"And why is that…?"
"Well…I was thinking of taking Maizono-san out there…"
"For a date…?"
"Y-yeah…that…"
"Hmm…this must be your first time going on a date, hmm…?"
"Yes…that…"
"…"

Inside the classroom, Pachinko is asking the students where Naegi is, in which Asahina asked why, and what grudge does Pachinko have against Naegi. Yamada can tell the reason why, and wanting to help his classmates and to divert their attention, Yamada grabbed his gear, putting on the pilot leather cap and goggles, and the long, red cape which he now assumes the guise of the manga character, Captain Chaos, and he stood up, startling the goons as he said that Captain Chaos has arrived.
"HA-HA-HA! CAPTAIN CHAOS HAS ARRIVED! EVIL-DOERS…BEWARE! YOUR LIFE WILL BE CHAOTIC!"
Pachinko's men are inept, as they assume that Yamada is the SUPER GUY due to him wearing a cape, they immediately aimed their guns at the SHSL Doujin Writer and called Pachinko, proclaiming that they have captured the SUPER GUY.
"Boss!"
"We got him!"
"We got the super guy!"
"He's right here!"
"He's easy to catch!"
"Look…he couldn't resist!"
"We're the best!"
"We'll be famous!"
Pachinko looked around and stared in irritation, as he recognized Yamada as the wrong victim, and he berated his men for getting the wrong target, and the inept goons justified that they have the SUPER GUY, pointing out that Yamada is wearing a cape and a MASK, which are some of the known characteristics of a SUPER GUY.
"But, boss…"
"He's the SUPER GUY…"
"See?"
"He's wearing a mask…"
"And a cape!"
"That's the characteristics of a SUPER GUY, right?"
"I'm sure he's the one…"
"So you should be happy…"
Pachinko yelled at his goons and told him that Yamada is not the SUPER GUY but Naegi, and when the goons asked what Naegi looked like, Pachinko looked around and saw the Captain Gonzo manga on a chair and he grabbed it, and showed the main character's portrait, and said that this is what Naegi looked like, which the goons began to understand.
Naegi's classmates stared in surprise, and Asahina mumbled aloud, saying that Pachinko is CRAZY for mistaking Naegi for the manga character, and Pachinko heard it and aimed his gun and poked it on her nose, causing her to scream as Pachinko told her that he is not crazy.
"What was that?"
"EEEKKK!"
"You want to die?"
"N-n-no…"
"Then don't call me crazy! I'm not crazy, you got that?"
"…"
"You hear me? I'm not crazy!"
"…"
Ohwada stood up and told Pachinko to leave Asahina alone, but the goons aimed their guns at him, as Pachinko told the SHSL Outlaw Biker to sit down and told Class 78 that he is not crazy and maintained that Naegi is the SUPER GUY, and said that he will prove it today, and assured that Naegi will be exposed and the world will stop calling him crazy.
Yamada then offered Pachinko a Captain Chaos manga, saying that it is a popular title, but Pachinko fired his gun, boring holes on the manga, and Yamada shrieked, as Pachinko told the SHSL Doujin Writer to shut up and sit down, or else he will be the next to be shot down.
Kirigiri stared intently and thinks of a way to get help and alert the school officials about the situation, but then Celestia whispered to Kirigiri, saying that there is a way to get out of this mess, which the SHSL Detective asked what Celestia has in mind, and the SHSL Gambler smirked as she grabbed Kirigiri and moments later Celestia had Kirigiri stood up, as she is dressed as Wonder Woman.
The rest of Class 78 stared wide-eyed at seeing Kirigiri in a cosplay, and the inept goons took the bait, as they aimed their guns at her and told Pachinko that they got the SUPER GUY, and they presented to their boss in triumph.
It didn't go well, however, and Pachinko yelled at his men, telling them that they are after the SUPER GUY, and not a SUPER BITCH.
"You idiots!"
"Huh?"
"What?"
"Eh?"
"I said the SUPER GUY, NOT A SUPER BITCH! Take a look at that!"
"But we're sure this one is…"
"Yeah, this one we're a costume and…"
"Huh? Where's the cape…?"
Pachinko then blinked as he recognized Kirigiri through the costume and his mood lightened a bit, as he also bear a grudge towards the SHSL Detective, and said that she too will feel his wrath, along with Naegi, and said now all he need is to wait for Naegi to arrive so he can prove to everyone that Aru Pachinko is not crazy.
Kirigiri glared at Pachinko and said that he is just wasting his time and tells him to surrender, which Pachinko said that it won't happen, as he reiterated that Makoto Naegi must be exposed as the SUPER GUY so that his name will be cleared and become a celebrity not only in Japan, but also the rest of the world.
Ishimaru finds it absurd and stood up, telling Pachinko that this is madness, saying that the mob boss is confusing Naegi over the manga character because they are visually similar, but Pachinko aimed his gun at the SHSL Hall Monitor and reiterated that Naegi is really the SUPER GUY and he will prove it and said to Ishimaru that he will soon eat his own words.
"Are you saying that I'm crazy too…?"
"…"
"I say it again…Makoto Naegi is the SUPER GUY…and that's the fact."
"Naegi-kun is just an ordinary boy. You really mistook him for a manga character who is only a work of fiction…"
"And what if I prove you wrong?"
"Are you…"
"In a matter of minutes, you'll eat your own words…as I will prove it you that Makoto Naegi is the SUPER GUY…make no mistake."
"You…"
As Pachinko and Ishimaru are arguing, Pachinko's goons sweat-dropped and they appeared to be having second thoughts, as they wondered if what they are doing is worth it, as they doubt that Naegi is the one Pachinko is after and wondered if Naegi as the SUPER GUY is for real, as they only went along after being promised of being paid huge.
Suddenly, something emerged from the side of the cabinet, where everyone inside the classroom blinked their eyes at what they are seeing. It was Naegi, who is wearing the RED SUIT, and Pachinko stared in glee and excitement, and told everyone that there is the proof.
Suddenly the goons opened fire and shoots Naegi on the chest, which Asahina and Maizono shrieked in horror, but to everyone's surprise, Naegi stood there, then began to fly, where he did a flying splash and took down two of the goons, and the other goons stared wide-eyed, believing that Pachinko is telling the truth, that Naegi is the SUPER GUY.
"N-No way…"
"Did you…see that…?"
"He is not affected by the bullets…"
"And he just flew…in the air…"
"He must be real…"
"Then boss is right…after all…"
"He's the SUPER GUY…"
"For real…"
As Naegi gets up, the other goons aimed their guns at the boy's head, and said they got him, which Pachinko laughed in triumph, as he felt that he is vindicated now that he has witnesses that can prove that the SUPER GUY exists, and is about to make his presence known at the academy when he noticed something, such as Naegi being TOO SHORT, and saw some kind of shoulder strap on the boy's shoulders, and there he became suspicious.
He suddenly yanked the hair, revealing it to be a wig, and the boy turns out to be Fujisaki himself, and he flips the cape aside and it shows that Fujisaki is wearing a jet pack. Then he noticed that the chest area of the suit bore holes, and he lifts it, which shows that Fujisaki is wearing a bulletproof vest, and Pachinko became livid upon realizing that he is deceived, and aimed his gun at Fujisaki.
As the rest of clas 78 became worried, Pachinko demanded to know where the REAL Naegi is, and Fujisaki offered to lead him and his goons to where the Luckster is, and made it appear that he will help Pachinko become a media sensation in proving the SUPER GUY'S existence, which Pachinko unknowingly became enticed.
"Really?"
"Yes."
"And you're not tricking me?"
"You said you wanted to prove to everyone that the SUPER GUY is real, am I correct?"
"You got that right!"
"And as proof, here…"
"Huh?"
"Naegi-san's message "
To prove his point, Fujisaki showed to Pachinko his smartphone where Naegi's messages are shown, and upon reading it, Pachinko learned that Naegi wants to arrange a meeting with Pachinko so that the mob boss can have the chance to settle their dispute and willingly let him prove the SUPER GUY'S existence to the press.
What Pachinko did not know is that moments ago, Fujisaki sent text messages to Naegi about the situation, and the Luckster, secretly putting on the RED SUIT before putting on his regular clothing, instructed Fujisaki to stall Pachinko and goad him and his goons to leave Class 78 alone and bring them to the basement parking area so that he can trap the goons and trick Pachinko into making the witnesses believe the Pachinko is insane.
In his excitement, Pachinko agreed, yet he decided to bring Kirigiri along, then he recognized Maizono due to having read a previous news article about her being linked to Naegi, and irrationally believe her to be the LOIS LANE version of the Captain Gonzo manga, and he tells her that she is coming along, saying that a LOIS Lane is needed to draw out the SUPER GUY. Maizono refused at first, but after calling him crazy, Pachinko threatened her with a gun which eventually made her comply.
"Hmm…you do just fine. Okay, LOIS LANE…get up."
"LOIS LANE…?"
"Yeah. If there's a SUPER GUY, then there's LOIS LANE. You've seen it in the SUPERMAN movies. So come along and…"
"No way! I'm not coming with a CRAZY GUY who is delusional into thinking that Naegi is a SUPERMAN-like character."
"You want to die?"
"EEEKKK!"
"I told you I'm not crazy. So come along or else. Got it?"
"…"
Fujisaki urged his classmates not to do anything and assured to them that everything is under control, and soon Class 78 is left alone, and the classmates are wondering what to do as they feared for their classmates' safeties.
-x-
At the basement parking area, Pachinko and his goons arrived, and Pachinko is getting impatient as he demanded from Fujisaki where Naegi is, and the SHSL Programmer said that Naegi will be here any moment now and urges the mob boss to be a little patient, but Pachinko said he is running out of patience and threatened to shoot his hostages, but then Naegi arrived.
Pachinko grinned as he finally faces off with his hated target and asks him if he is here as the SUPER GUY, which Naegi nodded and asked if he really wanted this, which Pachinko nodded, and sighing, Naegi began to remove his regular clothes and revealed the RED SUIT and cape, which the goons sighed, as Naegi's attire is identical to Fujisaki's, but what they did not know is that the RED SUIT that Naegi is wearing is the genuine one, and they whispered to one another, wondering if Pachinko is really LOSING IT or not.
"Geez…"
"I feel like regretting this…"
"Me too…"
"Maybe the boss is crazy after all…"
"Right. Maybe we should quit…"
"And he hasn't paid us yet…"
"I want to back out from this…"
"Me too…less the cops deem us CRAZY…"
Fearing other witnesses coming, Naegi decided to make it simple and told the goons that the cops are coming, pointing to a direction, and as the goons looked away, Naegi then went behind a van and pushes it towards the goon, pinning them to a wall which is enough to trap them while not harming them. There Pachinko is all by himself and aimed his gun at him, and tells Naegi that he will expose him to the world so everyone will believe him and that he is not crazy.
Sighing, Naegi grabbed Pachinko, went towards an elevator and forcefully opened the door, grabbed the mob boss and he jumped hard, where he and Pachinko flew high enough, reaching the 6th floor, before descending downward, causing the mob boss to shriek in fear, but Naegi cushioned the landing and soon they got back to the basement floor, then he closes the elevator door.
There Kirigiri, Fujisaki and Maizono told Naegi that the cops are approaching and Naegi immediately removed the red suit and puts on his civilian clothes, while putting the red suit inside a backpack, and as the police arrived, Inspector Takaki Ishimaru asked what happened, and there Kirigiri made an elaborate alibi just to preserve Naegi's secret.
However, Pachinko insisted that it was the SUPER GUY'S fault and pointed it towards Naegi, but Takaki told Pachinko to knock it off as there is no such thing, and in desperation, a visibly distressed mob boss grabbed Naegi and lifted his shirt, and he is surprised to see that Naegi is not wearing the red suit, and there Fujisaki told Takaki that Pachinko mistook Naegi for the manga character that Komaru created, and that Pachinko would go after anyone who is wearing a cosplay of the manga character, as shown that the mob boss mistook Fujisaki for the SUPER GUY he is portraying while at a part-time work. Of course this is also an alibi to preserve Naegi's secret.
Takaki then stared at Pachinko, who is slowly losing his mind as he is unwilling to let this end and insisted that Naegi is the SUPER GUY, and there Takaki told his fellow officer to have Pachinko undergo psychiatric evaluation, and there the mob boss screamed and said he is not crazy, which Takaki said the doctors will decide on that.
"Take him to a psychiatric ward…"
"No!"
"Huh?"
"I'm not crazy, I say!"
"Let the doctors decided on that."
"I reiterate that I'm not crazy! Makoto Naegi is the SUPER GUY! He even flew inside the elevator shaft! I got witnesses! Ask those kids! They saw it!"
"Oh brother…just take the suspect away!"
"I said wait! I'm telling the truth!"
As Pachinko is taken away, Takaki checked on Pachinko's goons, and there he made a bargain with them, which in exchange for reduced sentences and bail, they are made to swear to change their ways and not associate themselves with Pachinko, which the goons accepted as they said that Pachinko forced them to do this and are now convinced that he is crazy.
As the goons are taken away, Jin Kirigiri and the rest of Class 78 came and are glad to see Naegi, Maizono, Kyoko and Fujiaki are okay, and there Celestia asked Kyoko how does it feel to be a HERO, as the SHSL Detective is still wearing the Wonder Woman costume.
KA-BLAG!
Kyoko smacked Celestia on the head as she walked away, steam billowing from her head as she is pissed at what the SHSL Gambler did, and Jin followed his daughter, asking what just happened, yet she is still pissed to respond.
Fujisaki and Maizono made an elaborate alibi to the rest of Class 78 so that they would not suspect anything about Naegi, thus preserving the SHSL Luckster's secret, and everything went well with only minor incident.
Soon the incident is under wraps and thankfully it did not become a huge issue as no one is harmed and nothing serious happened.
-x-
A week later, the scene shifts at the Tokyo Mental Hospital, where Aru Pachinko is inside a room filled with cushioned walls, and he is staring at the ceiling, holding a bible and is PRAYING, saying a lot of things as if he is a saint. He is now deemed mentally unstable and he would spend the rest of his days there until he is MENTALLY HEALED, but until then, he would stay here.
He is at loss as he failed in exposing Naegi as the SUPER GUY and prayed to Kami-sama for GUIDANCE on how to expose Naegi and get redemption and vindication.
By then, a male nurse opened the door and told Pachinko that he has a new roommate, and Pachinko stared wide-eyed at seeing who came in.
"HA-HA-HA!"
"…"
"I'M THE SUPER GUY!"
"Y-you…"
"I'M THE SUPER-DUPER SUPER GUY! I HAVE SUPER DUPER POWERS! I CAN FFFFLLLLLYYY!"
"No way! Why are you here?"
"HA-HA-HA! THE SUPER GUY HAS RETURN!"
"Stay away!"
It was the escaped mental patient, who is cosplaying as Captain Gonzo, and immediately he went after Pachinko, DISPLAYING HIS SUPER POWERS and there Pachinko screamed in terror and shouted for help, but fell on deaf ears as the nurse left, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Pachinko is being manhandled, and he went back to his office to continue his work.
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, as Pachinko has finally made his move, and made a bold one as he and his goons infiltrate Hope's Peak Academy…and has found the classroom where Naegi is studying.
Thanks to his LUCK, Naegi is not among the hostages, yet he would get a big shock once he finds out what is going on, yet managed to keep Kizakura out of his hair while thinking of a way to save his classmates…
Thanks to Fujisaki's quick thinking, he and Naegi managed to subdue Pachinko and his men, preserving Naegi's secret in the process, and now the mob boss is sentenced to a mental hospital, and gets a new roommate in the form of the escaped mental patient wearing a poor imitation of the RED SUIT…
