Well, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 3: Chainataun rantō
Elsewhere, another group of people are seen walking by the marketplace of Chinatown, where they turn out to be teenagers, and are shopping for ingredients to make a very delicious Chinese cuisine. Some of the merchants stared in awe as they recognized the three teenagers passing by them and were all smiles the moment they recognize the passing teens.
The teenagers in question turn out to be students of UA High, and they are identified as:
- Hiryu Rin
- Pony Tsunotori
- Neito Monoma
It turns out that Hiryu is Chinese and that he is a frequent customer in Chinatown, and when his status as a UA High Academy student is publicly known, the Chinese merchants took pride and whenever Hiryu comes by they would offer him a discount, which Hiryu politely decline, though there are times when he accepted the discount on certain occasions.
Hiryu happened to invite Pony to tag along as he wants to cook a very delicious Chinese food, and she accepted as she wanted to try a Chinese food due to her being a foreigner studying in Japan, as well as she spend most of her time eating Japanese food that she wanted to try a Chinese food for a change, to see how delicious they are.
Along the way, Monoma passed by and saw the two and asked if he can tag along, which Hiryu said it is fine, and the trio would go from stall to stall, asking if they have a certain ingredient, and the merchants kindly said they do not have that certain ingredient, which Hiryu said it is okay and thanked them for telling him.
"Well...about that..."
"Yes?"
"I'm afraid I do not have that particular ingredient."
"..."
"I'm sorry."
"I see..."
"My apologies if..."
"No, it is alright."
However, one of the merchants said that he happened to heard of a shop where the ingredient that Genos seek, and gave him directions on where to go, and advised Hiryu to head there as soon as possible due to the ingredient is a rare commodity and gets sold out very quickly.
Hiryu thanked the merchant and he tells Pony and Monoma that they better get there before they miss out that ingredient. Pony asked Hiryu if he really need that ingredient, which he nodded saying that the ingredient he seek is the main component to make a very delicious Chinese food that his great, great-grandfather passed onto him.
"Rin-kun...do you really need to get that particular ingredient?"
"Yes, Pony. I need it."
"Surely there are other..."
"No...the one ingredient that I seek is the one thing I need in order to complete the recipe, otherwise the food I intend to cook will not materialize."
"I see."
"I have the directions...let us head there right away."
"Okay."
"Good."
After that, the trio left, and the merchants waved at Hiryu, pleased to see that a fellow Chinese is a UA High student, and are even hoping that once he graduates, Hiryu would become the first Chinese-born pro-hero.
As Hiryu, Pony and Monoma are leaving, they did not notice that a few League of Villains members, who appeared to be new recruits, are seen nearby, and they seemed to regard Hiryu's group as threats for some reason. The unseen villains appeared to resemble Chinese mafia gangsters, and they learned about what Hiryu and his friends are up to, and intend to beat them to the punch as the mafia men are also after the coveted ingredients.
"You hear that, boss?"
"They're also after that ingredient we seek."
"I hear it, boys."
"We need to get there before those brats do."
"Yeah, and maybe beat them up."
"I know a shortcut...and I got an idea. Follow me, boys."
"Yes, boss."
"Yes, boss.
As the mafia gang began taking their leave, the scene shifts at the entrance of the Chinatown stall, where a new shopper came, and the Chinese merchants were taken aback at seeing the new shopper, as he is seen wearing yellow pants, a long-sleeved yellow shirt with an upper zipper, red gloves, red boots, a long white cape, and he is bald.
The shopper is revealed to be a hero identified only as Saitama, and he came here by coincidence as he is looking for a market that sells food, vegetables and/or ingredients that has a bargained price, and he is on his way back to his apartment when he happened to pass by Yokohama, and upon seeing the stalls, Saitama to see if he could find food and ingredients for a cheap price.
The Chinese merchants began whispering among themselves in Cantonese, as they never encountered a costumed individual before, and wondered if he is a graduate of UA High or if he is a Pro-Hero, as they felt that Saitama's bald look makes him look like a hero-wannabe.
"Hey…"
"Look at that…"
"Is he a pro-hero?"
"He's bald…"
"Must be a fan…"
"Be careful…he could be a bum pretending to be a hero…and he might attempt to swindle us…"
"He sure looked stupid…"
"Are all Japanese are like that?"
Because the merchants spoke in Cantonese, Saitama did not understand what they are saying, but he did not seemed to mind as he continued to check out the stalls, and some of the merchants decided to show their items in an effort to entice him to buy them.
"Come over here!"
"We sell any items suited for any season! Spring...summer...Christmas...you name it!"
"They are cheap to buy!"
"We offer good luck charms!"
"Good for summer and Christmas!"
"Have a look!"
"I am sure you will like it!"
"Free trial here!"
Saitama politely declines and asked if there is a nearby market that sells vegetables and other ingredients, which they said that there are many if he go forward and take a turn to the first corner, where there is a mini-market that sells vegetables and spices.
Saitama politely thanked them as he went on his way, and the merchants glanced at Saitama, their opinions divided as they never seen an individual who looked…odd…and plain silly after seeing him in costume, and they wondered if Saitama is either a pro-hero or a rookie villain who may or may not be connected to the League of Villains.
"Did you see that?"
"He looked...odd..."
"More like a mercenary…especially with that BALD look…"
"And what's with that getup? Is he supposed to be a superhero…?"
"I never seen him before...not even on the news."
"Must be one of those Leagues that I heard..."
"But that guy looked like a kind man…though he looked quite…stupid…"
"Maybe a good guy...?"
"Suppose he is merely..."
Saitama went on his way as he is heading to the mini-market to find the vegetables he is seeking to buy.

Moments later, the scene shifts to a place within Chinatown, where a shop is located, and you can see an elderly shopkeeper is running the shop, assisted by his young granddaughter, and it turns out that they are holding a very rare ingredient that the three Class 1-B students and Genos seek to buy, however, the shopkeeper is unsure whether to sell it as it is only one item and is very rare, and he is pondering on holding on to it for now and try to buy more.
His granddaughter, aged 7, tells him to keep it for now since it would be best to buy more so that if the items becomes a sought-after, he would have more supplies to sell, which the elderly man agreed, and decided to keep it, but then the mafia men arrived and found the item they seek, and attempted to bribe the elderly man, which he refused.
"Hey, how about a deal…we can give you money…"
"Huh?"
"Just give us that ingredient and you'll be rich…"
"Sorry, but I can't…"
"Why not?"
"That's the only one left…if you can wait for about two weeks, I might have enough supply…"
"We'll take it…"
"Sorry, but no."
Seeing that they would not budge, the mafia leader's goons grabbed and slit the child's throat which slowly killed her, and the other goons slit the throat of the elderly man, killing him, and there the men took the item they seek and are ready to bolt out, but then one of the goons uses a binocular and saw Genos approaching the shop, and not far are the three Class 1-B students, whom the gang recognized as the UA Academy students due to them wearing the UA school uniforms.
As the mafia leader is told about it, an idea came to his head after seeing Genos, noting that his cybernetic looks would come in handy, and he told his goons what to do, and the goons nodded after being told of the plan, and they agreed to it seeing that they can get away with it.
"I see…"
"So that's it…"
"That's a good idea."
"I know, right? Now go do your cue!"
"Yes, boss!"
"Yes, boss!"
"Yes, boss!"
"Yes, boss!"
Several seconds later, Genos is approaching the shop when the mafia goons ran off, shoving past him as they made a run for it, and as Genos wondered what is going on, he checked the shop and found the two dead bodies, and there the mafia leader passes himself off as an eyewitness and told Genos that the men who ran off murdered the victims, and this caused Genos to become alarmed.
Genos then instructed the mafia leader to call for an ambulance while he chases the escaping culprits, which the mafia leader nodded in response.
"Go call 119!"
"Y-yeah…"
"Tell the operator the location and get some medics!"
"Y-yeah…"
"Try to give first aid to the victims if possible!"
"Y-yeah…"
"And if someone comes in, tell them what happened!"
"Y-yeah…"
Not far, the mafia goons approached the three Class 1-B students and told the about a murder and implicated Genos as they gave a description of what he looked like and claimed that Genos is a mechanical murderer who is the newest weapon of Tomura Shigaraki, saying that he is loaded with bladed weapons that killed the shopkeeper and his granddaughter, and Hiryu became alarmed at what he just heard, and asked where the killer is since Shigaraki's name is mentioned.
The mafia goons pointed out towards the shop, where Genos emerged, and upon seeing Genos, which the mafia goons described his appearance, Hiryu believed that Genos is the culprit and tells Pony and Monoma to get ready as they are going to take down the murderer.
Pony nodded and she is getting ready, but Monoma foolishly stated that his is his chance to shine and put class 1-A to shame, but Hiryu berated Monoma for that and tells him to focus on the perceived villains, which Monoma nodded sheepishly.
"Monoma!"
"What?"
"Just focus on the villain!"
"Er…"
"Never mind about 1-A!"
"Eh-hee-hee.."
"Just concentrate on that guy!"
"Y-yes, sir!"
At the shop, the mafia leader pointed to Genos the three Class 1-B students, saying that their uniforms (UA Academy uniforms, that is) are the uniforms of terrorists and are about to carry out bomb explosions of sorts, which Genos asked if he is sure, seeing that the trio appeared to be teenagers, but the mafia leader told him not to be deceived by their looks, as the trio are in league with the mafia goons who killed the two victims.
As Genos ponder on whether this is the truth or not as he glances at the approaching teens, the mafia goon sneaked away and escaped via nearby window, and then removed his blazer and puts on a white-colored one, then removed his hat and approached the approaching Class 1-B students, passing off again as a passing eyewitness and told them he witnessed a double murder and pointed at Genos.
As Genos momentarily glanced at the bodies to see if the victims can still be saved, he did not notice the mafia leader talking to Hiryu's group, and the scene shows that Hiryu, Pony and Monoma approached the shop and were shocked at what they saw, and assumed that Genos murdered them, and the trio gets ready to fight him. Genos saw Pony's appearance, assuming her to be a MONSTER, and his assumption was justified as Pony jumped and did a horse kick which sends him reeling, and Hiryu tells Monoma to try copying Genos' power, unaware that Genos is a cyborg who possesses no Quirk.
Monoma smirked as he would get the chance to shine for glory.
"Monoma!"
"Yeah?"
"Get that guy…and see if he has a Quirk that you might use against him…"
"Sure!"
"Go!"
"Here I come!"
"…"
"…"
Monoma did so and touched him, and he tried to use it, only to find out that nothing happened, and he tells Hiryu that Genos has no Quirk, and assumed that he is a robot after feeling his metal skin, which made Hiryu become cautious.
"He has no Quirk?"
"Yeah…and I can feel metal on his skin!"
"…"
"Must be a robot!"
"Looks like it…"
"What now?"
"Let's see what Pony can do…"
"Okay…"
Genos, by then, caught Pony and punched her on her gut, sending her careening outside the shop, where it started to attract attention, and there Hiryu felt that they are going to need help as he believe that Genos could be the League of Villains' TRUMP CARD, and ordered Monoma to run and get help, which Monoma asked if he is sure.
Hiryu sternly said yes, and Monoma reluctantly nodded as he began to ran off, and as Genos is about to chase Monoma, assuming that he is in league with the mafia goons, Hiryu blocked him, and both individuals are facing off, unaware that they are being tricked into attacking each other.
"Stop right there!"
"…"
"Where do you think you're going?"
"I should be the one asking you that."
"You're not getting away."
"And neither will you."
"You're going down!"
"I don't think so."

Meanwhile, the scene shifts at a safehouse, where a recently paroled small-time crook is talking to someone. The crook still has bandages on his head and is wanting revenge, but he knew that he could not do so, and resorted in hiring an assassin to do the work for him. By then the assassin arrived as he is contacted by the crook, offering him large sum of money in exchange for his services.
The assassin looked on as he is expecting that his assigned target would be the one he is looking for. He is identified only as Speed O'Sound Sonic, and he is a ninja. Sonic said he is willing to take out a target provided that he/she is quite a challenge.
There the crook showed the pictures of Sonic's intended targets, which Sonic raised an eyebrow upon seeing the pictures of the targets which turn out to be:
- Shoto Todoroki
- Katsuki Bakugo
- Izuku Midoriya
Sonic asked why is he assigned to assassinate a trio of kids, but the crook reasoned that the trio teens defeated his gang, and that the trio are difficult to deal with, and said that he approached Sonic after getting a video of the ninja possessing enough skills to deal with the trio, and showed Sonic the footage of the UA Academy Sports Festival, where Sonic saw his targets' powers:
- Todoroki possessing cryokinesis
- Bakugo has explosive attacks
- Izuku appeared to have power punches and nothing more
The crook then gave Sonic a check amounting to 1 million Yen as a down payment, and promised to give the other down payment upon completion. Sonic thought about it for a moment, and eventually accepted, seeing that the trio teens looked like a challenge, and opted to use them as guinea pigs to try out his new moves before facing his true intended target: Saitama.
"So…will you accept?"
"Very well. I'll take it."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Good."
"Just make sure you keep your promise."
"I will."
"Good."
