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 Midoriya is in danger as Stain is determined to kill him despite that they are doing an app game...
Will he be able to survive?
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 3: Nama ka shi no tōsō
After a minute of running, Midoriya finally found a police outpost and head there, and a policeman who is on duty saw an exhausted and panting Midoriya, who just knelt down in exhaustion, and out of curiosity, the policeman began approaching him, and asked what is wrong, and there the teen boy frantically told the policeman his situation, and the policeman glanced at Midoriya, seeing that he does not look like he is making it up as he remained kneeling down to catch his breath.
Then he saw the approaching Stain, running towards the outpost, and seeing Stain's attire matching the description that Midoriya gave, the policeman sensed that there is truth to this and drew out his gun, and aimed at the approaching attacker and warned him to stay where he is or he will be forced to shoot, which Stain said nothing as he came to a stop.
"You!"
"…"
"Stop right there!"
"…"
"I mean it!"
"…"
"Stay where you are or I'll shoot!"
"…"
However, Stain threw the knife straight and the blade hits the policeman on his throat, causing him to stagger back, and Stain went forward, held the knife by its hilt and slashes the policeman's throat to the point of nearly decapitating him, and the unintended victim fell to the ground, lying in a pool of blood, dead.
Midoriya stared wide-eyed in horror at what he just saw, as two person are killed due to getting caught in this senseless crossfire and he shouted at Stain, demanding to know why he is doing this and why must he kill, reasoning that there has to be another way to settle this without any need of violent action, which Stain just stared at his prey in a silent, yet indifferent tone.
"S-stop!"
"…"
"Don't!"
"…"
"There has to be something we can settle! Just don't kill me!"
"…"
"Please!"
"…"
Suddenly, Stain was struck on the back, which turn out to be an arrow, and then he is kicked from behind and the attacker fell towards a table, momentarily subduing him. Midoriya then saw who just saved him, and it turns out to be Yu Kikuchi, a schoolmate from Midoriya's school, and there Yu tells Midoriya to get up and follow him, saying that he is in a middle of a killing game due to the app he just activated.
A confused Midoriya asked what does the app have to do with this and why Stain wanted to attack him, but Yu tells him to run and keep on running until the clock on the app runs out, and if that happens, he will win and survive the battle.
"Just do as I say, Midoriya! That way you'll survive!"
"Seriously?"
"Yes!"
"What with this app and how come I'm dragged into this?"
"I'll explain later! Right now we need to get out of here and keep you safe!"
"Eh?"
"Don't argue! Just come with me!"
"Yu-san…"
As Midoriya is processing the words that Yu told him, Stain got up and faced Yu, where he turned invisible and this spooked Midoriya to the core, as he never thought something like this would happen, and there Yug told Midoriya that those who are PLAYING the app gained a character-specific ability called a QUIRK.
Yu told Midoriya that Stain's Quirk is invisibility, and then revealed that he also gained his own Quirk, as it lets him SEE Stain's invisibility, and shoots the crossbow arrow at the target, hitting him. However, it only hit Stain's forearm as he used it to shield himself and there Stain uses the chance to get close to Yu, which Midoriya's schoolmate gritted his teeth as he couldn't get a clear shot due to the enemy being too close, and he is forced to use the crossbow as a shield to deflect the knife attack, managing to deflect it.
However, Stain was feigning as he tricked Yu to lower his guard and stabbed him on the stomach, mortally wounding him, and there Stain kicked Yu back as he shifts his focus back on the terrified Midoriya, as the boy stared in horror at what he just saw, and now he is at loss of words as to how and why this is happening.
"N-no…"
"…"
"How…?"
"…"
"Why is this happening…?"
"…"
"This is a nightmare!"
"…"
However, Yu used his willpower to grab an arrow and jabbed Madarai near his groin, and as the attacker staggered back, Midoriya went to Yu and helped him up, telling him that he needs to take him to a hospital right away, but Yu shook his head and tells Midoriya to use this chance to escape, and keep hiding until time runs out. That way Midoriya can WIN THE GAME ROUND by TIME OVER.
This baffled Midoriya and insisted that Yu be taken to a hospital right away.
"No way!"
"But, Midoriya…"
"I'm not leaving you!"
"Never mind me…"
"I'm taking you to the nearest hospital!"
"Look, Midoriya…"
"Come on!"
"…"
As Midoriya carries a bleeding Yu away, he wondered aloud how and why Stain turned invisible, with Yu explaining that what Stain did is due to his Quirk, and stated to Midoriya that right now he is in the middle of Darwin's Game, hence there is no point trying to escape other than defeating his opponent in order to win and survive.
Midoriya became baffled as he noticed that they are nearing a two-story parking lot, and there he decided to head there and hide in an effort to lose their pursuer. Once there they hid at the second level and attempted to call an ambulance, but Yu told him it is useless, as they are still currently playing the game, and the only connection to the OUTSIDE WORLD is the app itself, which made Midoriya more baffled and confused.
"What?"
"You heard me, Midoriya…"
"You got to be joking…"
"I'm…not…"
"I'm sure I can call for help!"
"Don't…waste…"
"Hold on, I'm dialing the operator…"
"…"
Unwilling to believe it, Midoriya dialed 1-1-9, and attempted to call the operator for assistance, but to his surprise, a recording spoke stating that "THE NUMBER YOU DIALLED IS CURRENTLY OUT OF SERVICE".
Midoriya stared in disbelief and repeatedly dialed the number, and got the same recording response.
"THE NUMBER YOU DIALLED IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE…"
"What the…?"
"THE NUMBER YOU DIALLED IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE…"
"Hey! I'm calling…!"
"THE NUMBER YOU DIALLED IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE …"
"Is this the same thing?"
"THE NUMBER YOU DIALLED IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE"
"Answer me, damn you!"
Midoriya repeated the attempt and got the same response, and he is now becoming desperate as Yu is slowly dying, and there he told Midoriya to focus on keeping eye on the attacker and on the time on his smartphone, saying that timing is the key and if the time within this round runs out, Midoriya can win and survive by time over, and tells him to keep hiding for the time being.
"Midoriya…listen…"
"…"
"Keep hiding…and evade Stain…"
"But…"
"Trust me…that's the only…way…to survive…this round…"
"Yu…"
"You musn't…end up…like what…happened…to Astro…"
"Astro? You mean he also ended up in this kind of situation?"
Suddenly he received a text message, and Midoriya read it, which he became even more baffled after reading the message, which says "IF YOU WANT, I CAN HELP YOU OUT, IZUKU MIDORIYA". Midoriya blinked his eyes as the name of the sender is shown, whose name is only stated as CAMIE, and he slowly begin to wonder if this message is connected to the Darwin's Game app, given that he doesn't know anyone by that name and never met this person before.

The scene shifts at a rooftop, where a teenage girl is standing, glancing at the smartphone she is reading, and the girl is wearing what appeared to be a school uniform for high school, while wearing a military-like cap, and there she glanced at her surroundings, where several men are sprawled on the floor, dazed, as they were in a state of disbelief at being taken down by a girl, as it is revealed that the men intended to RAPE her, but for some reason they themselves got beaten up.
"Ohh..."
"Ow..."
"That stings..."
"What happened...?"
"Where am I...?"
"Where's the bitch...?"
"I want to rape her..."
"Oppai..."
The teen girl, sporting straight, fawn-colored hair that reaches just below her shoulders and large, dark brown eyes. She has noticeably full, plump and glossy lips as well as a quite curvaceous figure.
In her school uniform, Camie has the same traditional white-collared shirt and dark skirt every female High school students wear.
After that, the teen girl smirked as she took her leave, as she made sure that the men are incapacitated and not pose a threat to her.
