It was a few weeks later when school officially started. Usually I would have been bored out of my mind with the usual patrols but I kept busy with my studying. Oh and of course more importantly the making of my new suit. It turns out I wasn't the only student allowed into the school early. In fact most of the support department was there early. The teacher Power loader said it was to take advantage of the time they would get without distractions. Speaking of power loader he was pretty cool. I mean he looks like a construction vehicle in human form. While he gave his students plenty of freedom with their work we still need to report what we were making at least and to let him know if there was a chance of something blowing up. Before I could start working I met the principle and I still have a hard time believing one of the worlds smartest creature is that furry little animal.
While working I didn't so much interacting with the other students, I though it was because these people weren't social but I could hear them talking about my hero status behind my back. I mostly talked to Power Loader over ideas of how to fit some tech into my suit. The other person I got to know was a support student named Mei Hatsume. Her quirk was the ability to zoom into things without needing binoculars. I realized quickly that of the people in this world she had something that made her special. One was the fact that she never wanted to be a pro hero, which is a surprise since apparently almost everyone applies to try for the job. Not her though, while she has major drive and the energy to make kids jealous she instead applies her heart to inventing, hoping to become a world class entrepreneur with her babies spread all over the world. Which leads to the second thing that makes her special, the fact she treats her stuff as her kids. Sure everyone there is careful and protective with their inventions but sometimes I hear her talking to inventions. One time she she was cleaning the oil off some rocket boots she made but while doing so she was asking in a sad voice why it wasn't working like she wanted and asked it what it wanted so that it would work, like it would respond.
At first I kept to myself only reporting to Power Loader some of the things I was putting into my suit, I didn't have to report how they were made to the school I was just asked to keep a copy of the schematics so that if necessary they can copy or make their own version if needed. Then me and power loader would switch ideas on our projects. Other than those moments of interacting with the teacher I still didn't interact with anyone much. Things changed after I helped Mei with a problem she was having with her rocket boots. Apparently her main problem with them was that the blast and heat needed to push the wearer was damaging the boots making them useless after a few blasts or hovering a few minutes. I gave her some ideas using my memories of iron man as reference. After it worked she started to open up some more.
To me.
And no one else.
She continued to ignore everyone else but now she would go to my work bench and look at what I was making, trying to add her own ideas to my suit. While some were great and others weren't my style most of her ideas would require me to wear something bulky to hold the tech. I turned down her ideas saying that I need to keep my suit slim, since I needed the freedom of movement. She didn't mind and even wrote down the ideas I turned down because of the lack of space in the suit. After that every once in a while she would shoot some ideas the I would either turn down completely or write down in the notebook. Mostly though she would ask for my input every once in awhile for an invention of hers. It took a few days for me to realize she moved her workspace next to mine. I like to think we actually became pretty good friends.
During the time I was waiting for school to start and building my suit I lived with three different families so that the social workers could decide which would be better for me to live with. It was decided that I would live with a classmate that had room to spare in their home so they could be a good influence on my stay here.
The first person I stayed with was my least favorite. It was with Shoto Todoroki who wasn't the problem. At least not directly, nice the entire time of my visit he steered clear of me, although his sister said that it was normal for him to keep away anywhere another person was. His sister balanced him not being there by being really nice. I know they have a brother but he wasn't around much since he was out a lot. I actually liked hanging out at their home. No the deal breaker was their father who was apparently the second highest ranking hero in japan. Well let's just say if he's your idol then this is diffidently one of those don't meet your idol people. The entire stay there I was warned to stay out of his and Shoto way and saying how they were gonna be the best, doing his best to bloat about his high status. I was happy those hours away from them working on my suit.
Next I was with the family of Tenya Lida, the the strict guy who turns out comes from a linage of heroes. While it wasn't the military base I though it was gonna be his dad did make sure to note that he would be strict on rules if any were broken. It was mostly common manners and being respectful. Other than that I can say I had fun here. I mean I roomed with Tenya since it was last minute and they didn't have a room ready for me(I used a sleeping bag on the floor). He would mostly ask me how I got such a high score and how it felt to get first place. Of course he also asked about my powers. I found out about his and I gave some basic info about mine, mostly about the super strength and wall crawling. One day while Tenya was studying I was alone with his parents while I listened to some stories from their time as heroes. He told me how proud he was of his sons, one a successful hero and the other on the way. He told me about how high Tenya values his brother and his idea as a hero. It was this conversation that led to him asking who I looked up to. I told him the man was my personal hero, that not many people even knows he existed but he didn't want fame or money. He wanted to do his job and make sure to stand up to his responsibility. They could guess that the person I was talking about wasn't alive anymore from the way I was describing him but I said it was alright stating it took a while but I came to terms with his death.
It was nice talking about uncle Ben and hearing someone say he deserves the respect in my tone for raising such a great man. I even spent some time with Tenya's older brother, asking how he handled so many sidekicks and asking how that works. Apparently how he described it was when a new hero isn't sure about going solo they can be the backup of a veteran hero, to help gain experience from a pro but also they can decide when to stop. He apparently had more from the years but some moved on to other agencies or gained the confidence to stop relying on him. It was nice here, I could definitely see myself staying here for a while.
The final home I stayed at belonged to the family of Momo Yaoyorozu.I can't pronounce it. Either way I said house but no the family is rich so of course they live in a mansion with the land being longer than a football field. Momo failed to hide her excitement over having a guest over while I was a little nervous over staying over a girls place. When she introduced me to her parents she let me know that they came from over seas just to meet me, which led to me apologizing about taking time away from their business. They waved it away with a smile, letting me know they wanted to meet a future classmate of their daughter. While talking a maid walked up to them letting them know about a phone call from a business partner. Me and Momo were waved away with Momo declaring to show me around the mansion. She showed me the pool then took me outside to the outdoor pool. The three game rooms they had with different styles. One with video games, one with pool and other table games like table tennis. the last one was my favorite, an old school arcade room with games from before my time as a gamer. Afterword she showed me her favorite part, the library. When we arrived I realized it was actually 3 since 2 were giant rooms filled to the brim and the other almost 3/4ths full.
We spent the rest of the time that day in the library just talking about what we read. I read more scientific books and theories while Momo reads different items and their uses in life. She explained while he always liked reading, she fell in love with the subject when she discovered her quirk. She loved reading of an amazing item or invention and trying to learn how it works so that when needed she can create it with her quirk. The next day I spent with her parents while Momo followed her scheduled study time. At first I was alone with her mother while her father did a video meeting, so we talked about different ways people not heroes can help the public. I could tell she was nervous about the topic about non heroes. When asked about it she admitted that she mostly helps her husband by moral support, saying how when she was younger she tried to become a hero like her daughter but failed to graduate. I told her that she didn't need to tell me more but she wanted an outsiders opinion. She then went to explain how her quirk is mime. As long as she doesn't talk anything she mimes becomes physical but still invisible. The strength of the item determined by her will and focus. She then explained that she stopped trying to be a hero when a villain attacked her agency leading to the death of multiple heroes. It shook her so bad everything she makes now has little durability. After a moment of silence I asked her what she wanted my opinion on, she asked with tears if she was wrong to give up. I told her that I don't think she gave up, that she just found a different way to help people. To help people doesn't always mean to swing a fist or weapon. She cleaned her tears and excused herself when her husband came into view, giving her thanks and saying that she was gonna clean herself up.
After that I spent some time with the dad, him asking about my background and how I viewed people like him. When I asked to be more specific he said rich people. He said it was easy to tell I was middle class or lower. Not knowing he he was trying to make me mad I said I didn't really care so long as they don't hurt or be mean to people he relaxed a bit, inviting me to shoot some guns. We went in front of the house where some people were setting up a machine with plates to shoot. As expected I wasn't a good shot but he did give me some basic advice. Momo's dad was a great shot, it being obvious that he's been doing this for years. While doing this he started to tell me about his short time as a hero. He built his own agency using funds from his parents and worked as a hero for 3 years after graduating. He felt that even though heroes saved life's during big events they couldn't do much other than clean up heavy messes. So he stopped being a hero and took over the family business providing support to many who need it. After that we switch to me talking what I hope to do as a hero, how I'm liking things in Japan and a few other things. After a few hours of shooting and talking Momo came to tell us dinner was almost ready. Before we went in her father told her we would be a minute, turning to face me with a serious face. He did some digging and found out some basics of what I could do. What made him want to meet me was the video he was able to get from a security camera showing my fight against the villain Muscular. He said he would be proud to house me over my time in school, asking that if I stay the only thing he wants is for me to keep his daughter safe and be a good friend to her. Giving him my word we headed inside with his hand guiding me inside. Me feeling good about this place.
As for how me going to UA during my time staying there was different. Because of how far they live I was driven there by a butler and every time I came came back Momo would hound me with questions about the school and the work I was doing. Her parents were staying at the mansion until it was decided where I would stay but I still didn't see them much. To busy with work that followed them from across the seas. I even got to know the staff and hanged out with them. I expected them to have negative views on their employers but they actually liked them. I enjoyed my week there and think I became pretty good friends with the family and the workers. The rest of the wait for school to start I stayed at my old motel and continued to get to school by train. I was told that my new living situation would be told during ,y first day of school. So the rest of the time waiting I could focus on finishing the suit.
Thankfully the weekend before school started I was finally able to finish my suit, although I did have to show Power Loader the finished product and what it could do. After he was satisfied he had me fill out a report on the suit that would normally be done be the costume agency making them. I asked if I was allowed to come back to make some other ideas I had but was told not likely since I would be kept busy working out and training. He even pulled me aside before I left and said he would be happy to have me there but the hero class isn't really that well like among the other departments.
I understood almost immediately what he meant. It wasn't just because of jealously over another persons quirk but because they are considered more important than you no matter what you do. I couldn't help but remember harry, how he started to act when his dad would treat me nicely, something he said he was never treated with and that caused him to treat me differently as time moved on. I forced myself out of my head focusing myself back into making sure I get to school on time. It was finally the first day and thankfully my suit was accepted, although I am kinda sad I had to give it up for the school to put it in safe keeping with the other students suits. So I put on the uniform for the school and headed out to school knowing it would be the last time I would be at the motel. I was told social services would pick up anything I left behind and take it to my temporary guardians.
When I arrived to class 1-A I could see trough the huge open door that I was the last to arrive but thankfully not late. In front of the door was Izuku and the girl who could control gravity. I forgot if she ever gave her name. In front of them was Tenya watching them interact along with the rest of the class. Looking around the room it was the first time I saw such a high amount of variation in a single place. Some people looked textbook human, while some simply gained an extra limb or had features resembling another creature. I'd say the biggest transformation would be the students that don't even resemble humans anymore. One looked more like a pink alien and the other had a ravens head. In the back I could see Momo wave hello at me, while Shoto gave me a nod hello and continued to watch the interaction between Izuku and the girl. I really gotta learn everyone's names. When Tenya finally noticed me he waved his hands about to say something until he noticed something behind me. Turning around to see what scared his I saw what I thought was a human size caterpillar but in reality it was just in a sleeping bag. "If your just gonna block the door and talk while making friends you can go ahead and head home now."
Once Ochacko heard his voice she stopped talking looking back and just now noticing me and Mr. Aizawa with the other two guys just as speechless seeing their teacher like that. Using this chance to talk he congratulated us for reaching the hero course while unzipping himself out of the suit. While the others were freaking out over what they were seeing I was wondering what he was doing with the phone he pulled out. It turns out he was timing how long it would take for us to stop talking, saying he wasn't satisfied with the 8 seconds it took. I decided it was best to head to my seat while the others kept standing at the front of the class. introduced himself and got a massive gasp from the class when stated he was our teacher. Completely ignoring us he pulled out a gym uniform from his sleeping bag ordering the men and women to head to the changing rooms to get into the uniforms.
After everyone was changed and ready led us outside to an open field. After he made sure nobody was left behind he stated that we were having a quirk assessment test. When Ochacko complained about missing the entrance ceremony Aizawa replied that we didn't have time to waste on pointless ceremonies, that because of AU's special status they don't have the same rules as other schools meaning that he does things his own way. He explained the point of this is to show the differences in our abilities despite the countries efforts to show otherwise by making us do tests without our quirks. I could understand since it's what I did at my old school, but I held back to hide my secret powers. Since I didn't have powers at first bigger kids like flash were the top dog and could easily be the bully. That changes though when powers are brought in. Then it's a questions of who's quirk hurts more. I could even agree with his thoughts about the ceremony since I lost so much time being able to practice with my powers to keep up with my regular life. Not gonna lie little jealous they mostly focus on their hero part. "peter, you got the high score on the entrance exam. What was your farthest distance through with a softball without powers?"
I answered I didn't know since my old school didn't make me do that. He simply hummed and turned his attention to Baku. " Bakugo you came in second how far was your softball throw?"
He answered at about 67 meters, where Aizawa then instructed him to through the ball he was holding but this time to use his quirk. The only rule being he couldn't leave the circle. At the end of his swing Baku made the ball explode giving it a major boost and sent it into the clouds away from view for a few seconds. When the ball landed a few ways away Aizawa looked at his phone when a beeped was made then showed it to us, telling us we needed to know the limits of our abilities. The phone read that the ball was thrown 705.2 meters. Definitely a high score. Everyone was looking at his score with awe, wanting their own turn talking about their chance to use quirks without getting in trouble.
listened to them talking, interrupting them by balling them idiots for viewing this as fun. With a smile on his face ho said that we would be taking 8 tests and that last place would be sent home. When they tried to argue he simply said that while the school was here to make heroes to do so would mean they would need the potential to become one. No one could argue when he held the power to send any one of us home when he wants if he sees something wrong with us.
Looking around I realized the only student that looked calm was Momo. As we walked towards the first testing area I slowed down enough to end up next to Momo. "Hey Momo, why don't you looked freaked out about the test like the rest?"
She looked at me with a smile on her face and said with a calm voice " I doubt they would actually do that. I mean sure maybe further down the line if we couldn't keep up with the course but for now I'm sure this is just the teacher wanting to personally see what we can do. Besides even if I am wrong I believe in my training to pass me through any test this school has."
I nodded my head agreeing with her logic but still couldn't get the memories of meeting Aizawa outside of school out of my head. He's very direct, obviously wouldn't be a fan of my jokes, much less making up a lie like this. So I looked around the class trying to determine which out of them were less likely to pass. Sadly it's as teach said earlier, I can't guess their abilities.
When we arrived to a small track with a machine with a camera set up Aizawa explained we would start with a 50 meter dash. Tenya went up first with the girl who's quirk was similar to mine except she had a frogs abilities, thankfully she preferred to be called Tsu. While getting in position Tenya pulled his pants high enough to let his engine parts out of his leg. He cruised right through at high speed, while not the fastest I have seen him go while training. Tsu finished right behind him by like a second. Next up was Ochaco who as I found out here doesn't control gravity but gets rid of the affect of gravity in whatever she touches for a limited amount of time(she has to release unless she'll puke). running with her was Mashiro Ojiro whose ability was an extra limb in the form of a tail(gotta say out of the ones I know so far this one is underwhelming- apparently it's barely stronger than his arm and what him dangerous is his martial arts training.) Mash was first thanks to his better physical prowess while Ochaco followed behind a few seconds. Next was Yuga Aoyama who had a giant belt across his stomach and Mina Ashido the girl who looked full alien. When the robot signaled to start Yuga jumped into the air and from the belt came out a bright laser that I swear had sparkles in it. The force was strong enough to push him into the finish line, or at least most of the way. Half way there the beam stopped and he fell to the floor with Mina sliding right past him as she was sliding on some slime she was letting out through her feet. After he got back up he repeated he earlier action and blasted himself past the line. As if the fall never happened he turned to the class with a smile on his face and I think there is something wrong with me because he was literally sparkling as he said "firing my beam for more than a second gives me a Tummy ache."
Next was Izuku and Baku. Baku started of running normally until he put his hands behind his back using his explosions to push him to near flying speeds, finishing with one of the highest scores. Izuku gave it his all but it was obvious he didn't use his quirk to speed himself up. After everyone else went ahead and either was able to use their quirk to speed up or just ran at a normal pace. When it was my turn I barely missed the 4 second mark.
On the next I accidentally broke the grip machine when going all out. The only other people who did above average was Mezo Shoji the only guy wearing a mask and with multiple limbs. The other being Rikido Sato who is 2nd to me in terms of strength. Next was the standing long jump where I came in second to Baku since whenever he would lose momentum he would set of another explosion to push him back up. The 4th test was a side to side jump. I think I did okay seeing as I didn't really know how to incorporate my strengths into it. The star of this event was the little pervert Minoru Mineta. Seeing him go side to side like that made me want to hurl.
On the 5th test we were back to the ball through, although so far no one has been able to beat Baku's score. When Ochaco went up to pitch I realized that she could literally make it not come down until she was satisfied with it's distance. In the circle she made the ball glow for a second then through it, except instead of heading strait forward it instead was flying towards the clouds. After a few minutes Aizawa showed us his phone witch had the infinite symbol on it. Hope it wasn't expensive or being borrowed. Up next was Izuku who was obviously freaking out over his average scores in the other tests. I wanted to give him encouragement but what do I say when I don't even know what the problem is. While that was going on Tenya was voicing his worry about Izuku being kicked out. Baku argued that it should have been obvious that a quirkless loser wouldn't match up. Tenya tried to tell him that Izuku does have one but Baku kept interrupting him. Turning back to Izuku I now saw he had a look of determination on. Izuku got into throwing position, swung and threw the ball. With that serious look he had I was expecting it to go far but it only went 46 meters. It was obvious something was wrong since I could tell he was finally gonna use his quirk. Looking around to see the others reaction I realized what stood out the most was whose hair and scarf were now floating and he had a strange look in his eye.
Izuku was stunned not knowing what caused his quirk to fail. "I erased your quirk. The judges of the exam weren't rational enough when it came to the decision to enroll you. Someone like you should never have been aloud to enroll into this school."
Izuku looked at his teacher with fear until he made a realization saying out loud the hero name of . I knew his hero name but never actually knew his quirk, guess that makes him one of the most dangerous people for a villain to face since most don't use weapons just their quirks. After all even with a gun would you really want to take your chance with a guy who can throw cars. Listening to my classmates he's a less known hero who stays away from social media.
Turning back to Izuku's conversation Aizawa was grilling him by making valid points about him being more of a liability after the first hit. Using his scarf(I gotta find out how he controls it) he forced Izuku right in front of him, telling him that he has no chance of being a hero with his power. I don't know If it was an act of kindness or not but he let Izuku go and walked away. "I returned your quirk, make your throw and get in line."
Izuku stood int the circle, I couldn't tell what he was thinking but if what I heard was true either way he might fail. Looking at his scores for the last few test he didn't do bad enough to be last in them but when compared to others tests he's still in the back of the class. Truthfully the only student worse than him was Mineta who got an insane score thanks to the side jump.
Firming his resolve Izuku got into throwing position and threw the ball. What caught my attention is at the last second I saw his finger start to give off a bright light at the last second sending it off flying with the force rivaling Baku's explosion. I checked my phone and saw he was now second place beating Baku's score by .1 barely beating his bully. Turing back to our teacher he held his finger into a fist trying to stop himself from showing pain. " ? Look I'm still standing. I can still fight."
Aizawa just looked at him with one of his eyes covered with his hair although with his single eye wasn't the look of anger over being challenge but of something else. I think I saw all might back their stalking Izuku. I'll have to call social services later.
While I was deciding how creepy it was being watched by a beloved public figure my classmates were talking about the throw and how it caused him injury. The only one silent was surprisingly Baku. It was strange to see how quickly he switched form shock into anger, running toward Izuku with his hand ready to attack. "Deku you better tell me how you did that!"
Knowing if I ran I wouldn't get to Baku in time I jumped over him instead spreading my hands out making a human shield in front of a freaked out Izuku, or should I call him Deku? Baku didn't slow down even with another blocking his path. When he did stop it was because he was caught by Aizawa's scarf wrapping around his torso and head. When he tried to fight his way off of it he realized his quirk was taken away. "Stop fighting and making me have to use my quirk. It gives me dry eyes."
Talk about sucky downside to a great power. When Baku was finally released he asked why the scarf was so strong. "Because it's a special capture weapon made of carbon fiber and special metal alloy that is near impossible to escape of break out. Now stop wasting my time and get back in line. Parker it's your turn. Baku didn't move from his position obviously still mad over Izuku's quirk. Izuku was still scared of Baku so he went around him giving a small thanks that I simply nodded to. When he reached Ochaco she worried over his broken finger insisting to look it over. The whole time they were talking Baku was glaring at him then switch his look over to me. He got into my face trying to intimidate me. "I warned you not to get in my way didn't? So why did you do something stupid knowing that it might get you killed. You think I can't get you here? I'll kill you both if I have to. Just remember who's top dog here."
While he was looking at me waiting for me to probably cower in fear all I could do was remember back at midtown always being bullied by flash. Remembering because I had to be Peter Parker and not spider-man I always had to cower at the bully, always had to back off never being able to put my foot down. Well here I don't have to be one or the other I can be both I no longer have my two worlds divided. So I said nothing just stood there and held my ground, each second I can see pissing him of more.
With his threat made he walked back into line, the people near him giving him space. I grabbed the ball given to me by the machine and started to remember when uncle Ben would force me out the house, one time to show me how to throw a baseball. With that happy memory in mind I got into staring position like instructed and threw with the force I would use to pick a car. Not full strength but more than enough to get a good score. Unlike a few others whose balls made a wide arc when thrown mine went strait for a while. When it did finally land I got the send highest score at 810.6.
They were freaking out over my score while Aizawa simply congratulated me before sending me back in line before calling up Mezo the guy with the mask and multiple limbs. When I got in line I asked Momo about him and she said he has complete control over his extra limbs physical abilities, even able to give him superhuman strength because of it. I think the reason I'm so curious is because he reminds me so much about a favorite anime character of mine.
After all the other students got a chance to throw we did sit up,seated to touch(which I was great at because of my great flexibility) and last being a long distance run. Tenya took the bacon home with that one with Baku falling into the middle at the final stretch, I think since he reached his limit of explosions. After all was said and done I was feeling a little tired although Izuku was on the ground taking huge breaths. Truthfully I was surprised not more students were tired like him since not all of them look that much better of fitness wise. We all gathered in front of Aizawa ready to hear the results. Since he didn't feel like calling on us individually he simply showed the score board. True we can look at our scores on our phone but they just say how we did, while Aizawa actually ranked us. It started with the top students with me holding the top spot above Momo. Slowly it started to scroll down until it reached the last student, Izuku. I looked at him and say I that I literally saw his heart break right there.
Without a care in the world Aizawa claimed he was lying about expelling the last place student stating with a smile on his face that was to get us to put it our all into the test. Many students dropped their jaw in disbelief over having been scared to death, while Momo thought it was a great idea to let them know she knew it was a lie the whole time.
Aizawa called it the end of class, to head back and and grab our stuff and head home. "Oh and Parker come with me. You have some business to finish. As for you Midoriya take this note to the school nurse she'll fix you up. Everyone well need to be 100 percent tomorrow so rest up. Let's go Parker."
While heading back to the office I realized that All Might has already left. When we arrived to the office Nezu was drinking tea with Momo's father who was staring at the principle with wonder. Noticing us both gave a smile with Nezu inviting us to sit as we talk. Thankfully there wasn't much to discuss since all the paperwork was finished and all my stuff was already sent to the mansion. Apparently Momo's father simply wanted to be the one to take me home since he never gets the chance to do it with his daughter. When I asked if she was gonna ride with us he responded "No I wanted to make it a surprise that we won you." When I asked what he meant he said he would explain on the drive home. Thankfully we were aloud to leave after the principle reminded us of our responsibilities. Mine being a good student and a good figure for the community while Momo's father is just responsible in general for me.
On the drive home he explained that a few days ago all the families I stayed with were interviewed to have me stay with them. Apparently Endeavor didn't even show up so it was between Momo's family and Lida's family. Apparently it actually led to both fathers arguing over witch is better for me to stay with. They had to be separated because of it. Thankfully yesterday he received the call letting him know that I would be staying with his family. When we arrived he let me know that his time with me let him put a lot of trust in me witch is why he's wanted me to stay with his family so badly. He worries his daughter isn't ready for the real world since she was blocked from society only experiencing the world through news and books. So he asks that I be her friend and to take care of her. When I promised he added an extra warning that if I was found in her room I would be dropped of a an unknown island naked and be hunted down by supers. With his scary look I didn't ask if he was serious, not wanting to push my Parker luck. Thankfully we arrived to the front where a servant was waiting to take the car to the garage while we headed inside to the place that would be my temporary home.
Thanks for reading so far, when we reached the scores I was originally gonna change it for Mineta to be last place but when I thought about it both him and Deku had one even that they did great in. Difference being he still tied to Bakugo and lost to Ochako while Mineta I'm sure stood alone at the top of the side to side test.
As for why I don't feel like the vigilante manga fits in at least in the beginning part is that they are going against the law looking for the dealers of a drug and trying to stop it. My problem being for some reason there seems to be a low number of heroes around stopping crime. I know the problem isn't the number of heroes or the fact they don't check around. They prove this in the main show when Tenya went to look for revenge and his hero teacher explained that it's pretty much mandatory for any pro hero to do rounds in different parts not just to look for crimes but to prevent them as well with their presence. And that's without them having a specific goal of looking for a certain villain or drug. If they hear of a drug that can be a Quirk steroid you know they will crack down even harder on it. I just see little reason for a vigilante to be needed when the world is overwhelmed with heroes.
If the vigilante series took place after the main series I think it would make more sense since the public wouldn't be as trusting of registered heroes and their numbers would be down. That's my thoughts. Hope you enjoyed next chapter we get to the fights!
