Butei Heroes and Returns

Chapter 3

There won't be a ton of mystery here, but Izuku is going to investigate his teacher more. As I set up, there is something wrong with Will Earp. And you'll see how far that goes before long. As well as some mysteries about Izuku being set up too. Though if you noticed in the last chapter, I hinted at one. So on with the show.

(No POV)

As Izuku was turning 14 years old, he had begun more specialized training with Butei High. The lead of which was Earp's assault classes that he made all of the students go though. He currently had them in a maze-like area for a special set of tests he wanted to put them through before they could go to their other classes later in the day.

"Even if you kids do go into other disciplines, it never hurts to have a strong base in combat skills and tactics. So." As he was saying this in the training ground, the gunman opened the chamber of his guns and loaded them.

"I'd start running now," he said with a smile while pointing his pistols at the students. Most of the students had basic 9mm guns and knives to arm themselves. As it was a standard part of their uniform that they always need a gun and a blade on school grounds. But that wasn't doing any of them much good against Earp.

Not for lack of trying. After a few days of dodging the man, some were fed up and tried to take him out themselves. "You sadistic psycho! We're taking you down!" some shouted as they took aim and fired on their instructor.

Who rolled his eyes while ducking down. Most of the bullets clashed above him or accidentally hit those who had allied to take him out. "Good attempt, but you guys need to think about how you'll attack. Not just go in guns blazing. Still, you showed guts." Earp said before telling them they didn't have to participate in training anymore.

Izuku was wide eyed hearing this but quickly put together what the reasoning could be. "He wants us to fight back, even if it's impossible. Though I wonder what the best way to handled him would be?" Izuku thought aloud while Ayame dodged by running along some barriers.

While the green teen had taken the time to improve his baseline shooting skills, he'd also been taking some Inquesta classes. Ayame though had started to learn the basics of ninjutsu from a descendent of the Fuga clan. "While my family were experts in subterfuge, sabotage, and poison, the Shiranui clan were experts in assassination, battlefield disruption, and seduction."

The one who had been explaining this to her was Fuga Koten. A smaller man but nonetheless skilled. He had a habit of blending into the shadows so well, no one ever knew he was there. Even with his neon green hair. With a few experienced Butei as an exception.

He had taken to instructing Ayame on the basics of ninjutsu within the SSR department. "You have to figure out how to link to the rest of your family's techniques on your own. I cannot help you in that matter," he said in a stern tone. The girl grumbled thinking about what the man had said while they were dodging bullets from Earp.

"We won't be winning like this. But, maybe there's a way to turn the tide." Izuku thought aloud. Until his thought were disrupted by Ayame missing her step and falling right towards him. Both shouted until Izuku got a his face buried in Ayame's large chest. And that sent both of them over the edge.

Ayame screaming and blushing while backing up, and Izuku rapidly entering Hysteria Mode. As the girl was backing up, she put herself right in line of sight with Earp. Who smirked while aiming his gun at her.

As the bullet was being fired, Izuku saw it happening in slow motion. Rapidly drawing his pistol and shooting the bullets out of the air. William's eyes were wide at that and his smirk grew bigger. "Well now. Things are about to get interesting."

He aimed in Ayame's direction again, but Izuku moved quickly and scooped her up in a bridal carry. This made the young kunoichi's face go scarlet, but she didn't mind the feeling or rescue. Especially while looking up at Izuku's sharp face while in Hysteria Mode.

Once they were a decent distance away, Izuku stopped and advised the girl to stay out of harm's way. "We don't need you getting messy in this," Izuku said with a wink. And while she was tempted to do as he asked, she grabbed his hand before he left. "I'm…. I'm not running from this. If you plan to fight, I'll fight with you."

Izuku's eyes widened slightly before closing them. He turned back to Ayame and put his other hand atop hers. "If you truly wish that, then I will keep you safe as best I can. While we try to stop our teacher," the boy's smiling face making Ayame blush again. She nodded before asking if he had an idea.

With Hysteria Mode active, Izuku could put together a perfect plan to try and stop Earp. Who currently had knocked out a few more of the students with bullet and fist in the training area. "C'mon! You kids can do better than this."

"Perhaps you don't have enough of a challenger sensei." Izuku said while stepping from behind a wall. His eyes narrowed while smirking at William and gently moved toward his handgun in the holster. The man immediately knew what was going on with Izuku and fired as fast as he could at the boy.

But Izuku was just as fast and shot the bullets that would do the most damage out of the air before charging his teacher. Earp cursed as he was out of ammo currently and Izuku was shooting at him. He rolled to the side and tried to reload his pistols. Ayame though wasn't making it easy for him as she dropped some small explosives and smoke bombs from above.

Earp grit his teeth before seeing Izuku taking aim with his gun. Earp dropped his guns and quickly drew his very large knife, the Jack of Diamonds, with his right hand. (If you want a comparison, it's like the size of Mick Dundee's knife) The blade seemed to have a blood red wave along the steel and edge as he drew it. And then deflected or cut the bullets Izuku shot at him.

'I need to be in Hysteria Mode to do that. He can do it with just skill alone. But it still leaves him open.' Izuku think before dropping his pistol and pulling his own blade out to at least distract the instructor. And in the moment he moved fast enough to catch Earp's hand and point his blade at the man.

Who was surprised but recovered by saying, "don't think you've won just because you stopped my main hand." Ayame then appeared and had a blade at his back before saying, "we know. That's why we made sure you can't back away." William looked back at the girl slightly before eyeing up Izuku.

He smiled before saying, "well done on getting me to check. But I haven't exactly fallen yet." Izuku smirks at the man and notes that this was a clear checkmate scenario. "Oh really? Then I guess you accounted for this too?" Earp says before slightly opening his coat with his left hand. And showing a very long barreled pistol hidden along his side.

Izuku was surprised by that but still felt it wasn't enough to change the situation before them. That was until Earp raised and eyebrow and pulled the trigger on the gun. It shot downward and opened what appeared to be a portal beneath his feet. And removing him from the situation Izuku and Ayame had put him in.

"Great job you two. You managed to best me for the most part and stop my offense. But you only did that with the info you had on hand." The two heard above them and then saw a fiery shot hit next to their feet. Looking up to see the man sitting on a section of the maze and aiming the long pistol at them.

He chuckled before telling the two they had passed and could continue with their other classes. Izuku groaned a bit before picking up his weapon and slightly coming down from Hysteria Mode. Ayame pouted a bit before following Izuku.

Earp's smile persisted before thinking to himself, 'you really could be the newest H. But that's still something of a toss-up. We'll see how well you take to your other classes.' Izuku shook his head while washing up and coming out of Hysteria Mode. "Still feels odd when it happens. And I really don't want to think about what others will say if they see that."

With the test done, Izuku didn't have to keep going back unless it was for actual Assault classes. So, he could focus on Inquesta and following up on something important that had been bugging him. Something he relayed to Ayame after they met up to go to their classes.

"Earp-sensei's skills and various abilities. It feels like he's learned from every section. You know what I mean?" Izuku said while looking at his pistol and thinking about what kind of gun he wanted to use. Ayame hummed and noted, "he did say he'd learned from SSR. And if that gun what anything to go off of, it makes sense. And he's also an Amdo expert because of how he made those guns of his."

Before they could continue to compare, the two had to split up to their preferred courses. Or at least Izuku's was. And he enjoyed the analysis and data collection work that Inquesta courses could show him. Ayame though was being pulled into the course she didn't want to do.

"C'mon little lady~. You can't hide those assets~. Especially if you truly are a kunoichi of the Shiranui clan~." The one using this teasing was the lead teacher of the CVR course, Raim Corazon. She wore a business suit like look, but it was clearly designed to draw eyes to her assets. As her shirt was open enough to see quite a bit of cleavage, and her skirt was short enough to really show off the black garter belt stockings that matched her hair.

Her amethyst eyes practically sparkled upon seeing Ayame in the Research department again. While the girl wanted to go to the SSR to keep training, Fuga stopped her and helped Raim to take Ayame into the CVR section. "Thank you for the help Ko-kun~. Perhaps I could give you a reward later~," she said while pulling at her shirt a bit.

The man raised his eyebrow and refused before walking away. Though not fast enough as Ayame noticed the man went scarlet. She tried to sneak away, but Corazon caught her and quickly pulled the girl into a section to change the girl's clothes multiple times.

Starting with a school uniform look that was more revealing. Then a number of fetish focused looks (some more revealing or uncomfortable (S&M) for the girl). And finishing by putting the girl into the same kind of outfit her ancestor would have worn in combat. Her's being purple to the historic red color. "No! I don't want to wear any of this!" Ayame said while ducking into the corner of the changing room.

Raim sighed before putting a gentle hand on her shoulder. "You hate the idea of just being seen as a sex object or similar. Because plenty of people had told you that was your only worth. And now that you're here, you wanted the ability to deny or reject that through skill alone."

Ayame sniffled while looking up at the woman. She had a sympathetic gaze before wrapping the girl in a hug. "Believe me I know how that feels. I was told the same as quirks became more common. But there will always be those who look at you for just you. I know you already have that."

The seduction teacher gently patted Ayame's head while pressing the girl into her breasts. At first, she was certain that this was just another technique to appeal to men or women. But she started to feel herself melting into the embrace of the teacher.

"There is strength in turning that against those who put you down though. If you could use your seductive appearance to trick a villain into revealing more or take them off guard so you can finish them. That is an even greater way of proving them wrong."

Ayame's eyes still had some tears, but she looked to Corazon with some hope and admiration. Rubbing her eyes before asking if they could take the appearance aspect slower. "I'm uh…. I'm really not ready for that." Raim agreed but also wanted to work on charming Izuku more. "Hysteria Mode needs a trigger after all~!" And thus, Ayame slightly regretted agreeing.

But it would work for her and him as Ayame found when she met up with Izuku. The boy had gotten top marks during his Inquesta class and on a pop quiz the instructor tossed their way. So, he took the moment to follow up on what he had been suspicious of. Checking online and in the library for what he might be thinking of.

"Uh. Need some help?" Ayame asked while walking up to Izuku. Who turned to see her in a school uniform that seemed to push up Ayame's breasts as well as showing a lot of her cleavage. Her skirt was also shorter, and she was wearing long stockings underneath.

Izuku dropped the pencil he had been using to take notes upon seeing her. Especially because she no longer had her glasses and her hair framed her face more. His blushed bright red before turning away and saying a quiet thank you. "Um ah…. Sure. Could you help me find the yearbooks?"

Ayame nodded gently before checking a few of the reference sections. "So, what is it that you're trying to figure out?" she asked after finding one or two yearbooks. 'Do they hide some of these for tests or what?' she also thought after finding two yearbooks in different sections.

"There's something off about Earp sensei. We've been here about a year and a few things have started to seem odd with him." Izuku says before listing a number of them. The first was what they noticed on their break during the Colt training. How he started shaking and quickly tried to deflect what was going on.

Then there was the little bit he noticed in the exchange between the nurse and Medica instructor Romano. "I only caught a bit, but I saw her mention treatments. Like something's wrong with him. But the biggest one is something very subtle most would miss. Its how much respect everyone has for him."

Ayame looked at Izuku funny before asking what he meant. The boy noting that a transfer like theirs would need more than just their abilities and family history. Earp himself seemed to garner a lot of respect from all of the teachers. "And it's not just because of his arrest rate and combat skills. There's something else here. Which I think I might have just found."

Izuku was looking at one of the yearbooks Ayame had grabbed and noticed the man in the background of a few pictures. He then went to look for a few different yearbooks and compared it with the two Ayame had brought.

And once he did, the girl saw what had been bothering him. "This was Corazon-sensei's year, but Earp-sensei isn't in the class. Nor Fuma-sensei or any of the others. I'd have thought he was the same age as them."

"It's more than that Ayame. Check this out." Izuku said before opening another book and it showed Earp was again not a student. In fact, through all of the books they had found and checked, William Wyatt Earp was not a student for a span of over 20 years. "And he doesn't look any different between each of these decades. He hasn't aged in all that time." Ayame noted while putting together what had been bugging Izuku.

He hummed while noting there was more to this, and their chance would come up soon. "It's been almost a year since we had that talk. And we'll have some of our chances for answers before long." Ayame looked at him with some worry but agreed to follow his lead.

Izuku waits for a few days while keeping an eye on Earp as he was covering World History for the general classes. "So, as you can see. With the Rhode Island New State Statue, things have become quite different from how we Butei used to operate. Originally, we operated akin to heroes and police. But a number of things happened to… shift priorities."

Earp's right arm started shaking a bit as he was writing on the chalkboard. He then gripped his hand and then shoulder before having to lean on the blackboard. "Uh…. Read chapters 6 and 7. We'll review the details later this week for the test. If you'll excuse me."

The green teen's eyes narrowed at this and waited a few seconds for the teacher to leave. Signaling Ayame to follow him. She gulped before slipping behind him. "We're really doing this? When he's clearly not feeling well?"

"It's the best time to confront him. He can't avoid it if we have obvious evidence, and he can't dodge the question." Izuku says while sticking to the walls and corners while tailing their teacher. The man initially stopped at a restroom to wash his face and gather himself.

But it was also where he could vent a bit by punching the mirror in frustration. 'Damn. I wish there was a better way to deal with this,' he thought before readying to meet with Romano. Izuku started forward to see if something else was happening when Earp started to leave the restroom.

Izuku cursed in his mind at the thought of being caught. But then Ayame quickly appeared and hid the two in a locker. Pressing herself up close to him while they waited for Earp to leave. He pulled out his phone and called the Medica instructor and asked her to meet at the usual section.

Izuku narrowed his eyes at this and asked if Ayame had a good way to get out of the locker. "Um. Yeah. Hang on. There we go," she said while trying to move around with her breasts restraining her in the confined space.

The boy noted something very important though. 'She's not wearing a bra and her uniform is coming off!' he thought while trying to calm down. "Almost… got it!" Ayame announced before opening the locker. But then the two stumbled out after she unlatched the door.

Izuku fell on top of her while also realizing that the button on her uniform had come undone. And he currently had a very large handful of her bare breasts in his right hand. While also seeing her very pink nipples right in front of his face.

Ayame was about to scream when Izuku put his left over her mouth and asked her to trust him and stay calm. Though this was also fueled by his own growing arousal slowly moving into Hysteria Mode. And while she didn't want to admit it, Ayame was also feeling aroused by the situation they found themselves in. Especially him covering her mouth like he was.

Once she calmed down, Izuku had reached his peak and was in Hysteria Mode again. He gently removed his hands and carefully pulled Ayame's shirt up to cover herself. "I'm guessing you didn't mean for that to happen. Though I think it might have been a fun accident for both of us~." HM Izuku said with a wink.

The girl didn't deny it and then suddenly found herself with Izuku's blazer around her shoulders. "It's not much, but it might help you feel more comfortable. Now. Let's go after Earp-sensei." Izuku's words rang in Ayame, and she felt like she absolutely had to follow him. Taking his hand and thanking the boy.

The two quickly made their way toward the Medica section and found William. Who was again leaning on the wall while making his way somewhere. He was then met by Sister Romano. She caught him before saying, "let's get you in there. Don't worry. I've got you."

William nodded and thanked the medic while being taken to what seemed like a dead-end hallway. Only for said dead-end to turn and lead somewhere else. Izuku's accelerated mind could make out what happened and found a hidden keypad.

"I didn't see the code though. And I'm not sure I want to make a lot of guesses," he thinks aloud upon seeing the ten-digit pad. Ayame hums before saying, "then we just need to see what the last keys pushed were." She pulls out a compact and uses a bit of the powder to reveal the fingerprints.

Izuku smiles and nods before looking at the numbers highlighted. Realizing what they were after running through a number of possibilities. "The year Butei High was attacked. Few would know it after all." Izuku says before putting in the key code. Which makes the wall turn slightly and allow the students through.

Once on the other side of the wall, they could see an impressive set up of equipment. As well as hearing Earp groaning in muffled pain. They hurry over and see the man laying down on a special bed to let him float a bit. While Sana while using a variety of equipment to work on his back and arm. His very scarred back and arm.

They don't bring attention to themselves for a while, as it was clear this was something their teacher needed. The man seemingly passing out after a few more adjustments and actions taken by the head of the Medica department. "Dio, Ti preghiamo di aiutare quest'uomo a riprendersi e a trovare la pace. Amen."

After saying this, Izuku and Ayame make themselves known. "I suppose it isn't too surprising someone eventually questioned the matter. Even less so for you young man. Perhaps you are a Holmes."

Izuku raised his eyebrow at that before asking his teacher what was wrong with Earp. She sighed before saying, "it is a matter that would be best if he explained it. But suffice to say, he's something of a reflection of what the life of a Butei can lead to." The two look at the man who saved them and introduce them to the world of Armed Detectives.

As well as the scars that covered his back and parts of his arm. "This damage…. Looks pretty old. Not only that, but from what I pieced together you have to work on him once a year right?"

"Indeed. It used to be worse for him. I actually took up learning and trying to figure out other ways of treatment to help him. He was my teacher after all." Sana said while looking at the man with admiration.

And this confirmed some of what Izuku suspected. But waiting to get his answers from William Earp himself. 'Who are you really sir? And how did you end up in this state?' were the two questions Izuku wanted to ask once the man had awoken.

So yeah, I borrowed from the Wynona Earp series with the Peacemaker, and I know it was supposed to lose power after she finished what her family had been cursed to do. But it was too good of an asset and weapon to not have some usability. Plus, this works in the story of Willaim Earp as well.

I'll do more with Izuku and Ayame as the story goes on, but I wanted to show more of their relationship with the one who saved them. It's no different from giving some more background with All Might in the canon for Izuku. As well as developing their relationship a bit more.

Also, the whole test Earp was putting them through was one to test their resolve. If they didn't have it in them to stand up to him, they wouldn't be able to do that against criminals. So, he kept putting them through it each day until they stood up to them. Please review!
