My apologies for the late update. Throughout the 2nd half of November I was struck with an eye infection which stalled me from typing the chapters, resulting in bed rest for over a week, and upon recovery I had to work on the office stuff, thus it took me just now to upload the new chapter.

Well, I guess it's okay as I thought of having this as a Christmas present to you readers.

With all that and said…here it is…many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I am really happy and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter, and here

Well, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 4: Kōgeki o ukete iru toshi

A few days later, Jin Kirigiri is talking to the Steering Committee of Hope's Peak Superhero Academy, and is entertaining the idea of inviting Makoto Naegi to enroll here, believing that the young boy has the potential to become a SUPERHERO, after learning about Naegi's role in foiling the robber's attempt at escaping with the stolen jewels via a bus.

Jin pointed out that this warrants that Naegi deserves a chance to become a hero in the eyes of the masses, and can be a good role model that would promote Hope's Peak Superhero Academy and boost the academy's image.

However, the committee members unanimously shot down the idea, having deemed Naegi as too plain to be considered in having him enroll here, after getting the picture of Naegi and are rather disgusted at his appearance. They told Jin that having Naegi in Hope's Peak would result in a scandal of sorts, and branded him as an embarrassment.

"Rejected."

"Not allowed."

"We won't let him."

"He is undesirable."

"But why? You saw it...he stopped a jewel thief and..."

"He's too plain."

"Too generic."

"He's a brat. Period."

Jin, however, would not give up, as he believe that Naegi has the potential, but the Steering Committee members would not budge, and reiterated that Naegi is not suitable nor deserving to be approached for invitation, and made it clear that Naegi has no right to be invited to enroll at Hope's Peak, and they went far as threatening to have Jin suffer a severe sanction if he persists in bringing Naegi in.

"Listen up."

"A warning."

"If you persist..."

"We kick you out."

"You can't be serious!"

"We are."

"We can."

"And it's final. What will it be? That Naegi brat or your job?"

Jin gritted his teeth seeing the arrogance of the Steering Committee as they stood up and leave, but before leaving, the Steering Committee members made it clear that Makoto Naegi will be blacklisted from enrolling Hope's Peak Superhero Academy regardless of the situation and it will be final.

Jin protested as he pointed out that Naegi has not yet set foot here, but the committee members mockingly stated that it makes no difference and thus Naegi remained barred permanently. Jin pleaded to give Naegi a chance, but the Committee members gave their anonymous vote.

"Rejected."

"Not allowed."

"We won't let him."

"He is undesirable."

"But why? You saw it...he stopped a jewel thief and..."

"He's too plain."

"Too generic."

"He's a brat. Period."

As the Committee members left, Jin was livid, as he never expected to see them so arrogant and full of themselves. Kizakura adjusted his hat as he watches on, feeling bad that Naegi is being bullied despite not setting foot here and yet he was blatantly rejected on the grounds of his personal appearance and not his talents.

He showed Jin his sympathy and said that the Steering Committee will get what's coming to them and one day they're going to eat their words and get humiliated in the end, which Jin nodded, as he wished he could do something to break this kind of cycle.

"Oi...cheer up, Jin. Those idiots will soon get it."

"Yeah."

"At least they are now feeling threatened because they did not expect to see someone's potential coming from an ordinary boy."

"You're right, Kizakura."

"Well then..."

"Hmm...?"

"Let's wait and see."

"Very well."

Somewhere at an unspecified laboratory within Tokyo, Professor Idabashi is observing the teen boy who has become a cyborg, who is identified as Kibo, and there he is pleased that Kibo is able to master the functionalities of the cybernetic components within his body, as most of it are now mechanical, yet there are portions that remained human.

Kibo was able to pull off moves that are of superhuman levels, such as speed and strength, which makes him a formidable fighter. Aside from those, his cybernetic body possesses other things that can contribute to his speed and strength, such as being equipped with jet pack, scanners and small but powerful bullets along with some small missiles.

There Idabashi tells Kibo that he is given a second chance at life and that he must use them to do good and perform HEROIC deeds, which Kibo nodded, as he wants to hunt down the one that killed his family as well as to protect those who might become future victims.

"Remember this, Kibo..."

"Yes."

"Use your powers to protect and defend the innocent..."

"Yes, professor."

"Do not give in to temptation."

"Yes, professor."

"And never let success get to your head."

"I understand, professor.. I will not let myself get carried away."

Idabashi nodded, seeing that Kibo has not been corrupted by his new-found powers, remaining as the kind-hearted boy from before, and hoped that he stays that way as Kibo has the potential to become a hero in the eyes of the public.

The professor then told Kibo that this lab will be his headquarters where he can monitor things as well as becoming the place where he can undergo maintenance and repairs, reminding him that there might be troublemakers who may be stronger than him, which Kibo nodded understandibly, assuring the professor that he won't let his acquired powers get to his head.

The professor nodded as he is glad to see that Kibo remained humble and level-headed.

"That's good to hear, Kibo."

"Yes, professor."

"Always maintain your sense of humility."

"I will."

"Be ready and be on guard. The city might come under attack any time, any place."

"I will, professor."

"Good. That means you are ready."

"I am, professor."

Two weeks later, a situation took place as the Naegi family encountered some financial trouble, and the parents had to work hard to make ends meet, and there a relative of theirs offered a vacant house for any of their children to live, and seeing the situation, Makoto offered to move out of the house and relocate at the vacant house that their relative is offering.

The Naegi parents are unwilling at first, but were persuaded when their son said that this is for the best and that he can come back here once their family problem is solved, which the parents reluctantly accepted.

"Makoto..."

"Son..."

"It's okay, mom...dad..."

"We're sorry..."

"We did not want to..."

"Don't worry. I'll be fine."

"..."

"..."

Komaru is also saddened yet she understood the reason why, and three days later, Makoto moved out and went to another area within Tokyo, where he moved in at the vacant house, which was a one-story house. His relative assured to him that the electrical and water bills are already being shouldered and all he has to do is find a part-time job.

Makoto moved in and unloaded his belonging, and he appeared to be fine seeing that the house he is staying is quite the same as his parents' home. He wondered what would happen next now that he is living alone, and is now bracing to adjust to his new neighborhood.

A week later, the city of Tokyo was relatively peaceful, however, crime rate was steadily rising as pickpockets, robbers, muggers and any kinds of troublemakers are slowly getting bolder, threatening the peace, and that is where the students of Hope's Peak Superhero Academy steps in, dressed in costumes and with their assigned talents, they quickly went into action and took down the troublemakers, earning praise from the citizens and immediately appreciated their presence.

"Hurray!"

"They did it!"

"The heroes of Hope's Peak saved the day!"

"Thank goodness!"

"We're saved!"

"We have nothing to worry about..."

"Glad they are here..."

"Yeah..."

The recent activities put the academy in good light and publicity, which raised the public's morale and the academy became the talk of the town, as they are the subject on the news and social media.

However, a week later, a problem came as human-sized object, which resembled a mechanical teddy bear, arrived, and while this attracted some citizens as they find it cute-looking. However, they noticed that it sported wings that resembled a hornet and has a sting on its backside area, which some of them got spooked, having a bad feeling about this.

"H-hey..."

"What is that...?"

"A teddy bear...?"

"It got wings..."

"A stinger...?"

"Is this some kind of a joke...?"

"I got a bad feeling about this..."

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the chest area of the teddy bear opened, which turns out that it was a robot, and all of the sudden hundreds of hornets came out flying and began to attack the citizens, stinging them. Thus caused a panic and resulted in a stampede, which the toll, death and injuries, began to climb, as the hornet stings possesses very venomous contents that resulted in the victims' death in a matter of 75 seconds, where their bodies slowly withered away.

Many screamed in terror at what they saw and began to run for their lives. The streets are now filled with chaos as the victims began to shove one another just to escape the swarm, and they forget their own morale as they think about staying alive at the moment.

"EEEKKK!"

"KKKYYYAAAHHH!"

"GGYYYAAHH!"

"WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?"

"A SWARM!"

"A MONSTER!"

"SOMEONE SAVE ME!"

"CALL THE COPS!"

At the laboratory, Professor Idabashi was working on something when the alarm blared and he checked the monitor, where he was able to pinpoint the source of the alarm, and saw the culprit that is sowing fear and chaos within the city. He used the computers to identify the attacker, and concluded that it was a mechanical monster which the computers identified as Hōnetto-kuma, due to the mechanical teddy bear sporting the motif of a hornet.

He called Kibo and showed him the situation within the city and tells him now is the time to use his acquired powers to protect the city and its citizens and take down the bear that is causing the chaos, which Kibo nodded in approval, and is ready to roll out and face the attacker head on.

"Kibo!"

"Yes?"

"It's time!"

"Is the city...?"

"Correct...Tokyo is under attack!"

"I better go..."

"Be careful, Kibo."

"I will."
