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, another character from One Punch Man appears, and this character would make his presence known…which might get him into conflict with another teacher from UA High…
Meanwhile, a FAMILIAR VILLAIN makes an appearance here and is set to target Midoriya for a reason…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 14: Yoki shinai inu no tatakai
Shibuya.
The scene shows that the city is business as usual and that the people here are busybody, doing things like walking, driving and selling items, and it was a lively area where business is thriving, and as of now everything appeared peaceful as there are no signs of any criminal activity. For now the pro heroes and UA teachers Sekijiro Dan (aka Vlad King) and Ryo Inui (aka Hound Dog), were looking for a restaurant to eat, and so far they haven't found one due to the numerous restaurants they passed were filled with customers.
Inui sighed in annoyance that he did not expect that restaurants in Shibuya would be this jampacked at this time, though Dan assured to his fellow teacher and pro hero that they will find one soon and they can eat all they want.
"Easy, Inui…"
"Jeez…we've been walking around in circles for the past half-hour…"
"It can't be helped. The place is full of people."
"…"
"Be a bit patient. We'll soon find a restaurant that's not yet full…"
"Really…?"
"Really."
"Hmph."
Inui sighed as he said he'll bear with it and they continued walking around, that is…a few minutes later, the two teachers happened to stumble onto something, which is due to Inui's Quirk caught what appeared to be a scent of an illegal drug that is being carried nearby, which Dan asked if he is sure, and Inui discreetly said that he is sure, and pinpointed the source from a man in a business suit carrying a rather thick briefcase, and said that there is no doubt that the drugs he sensed through his Quirk came from there.
"Vlad King…over there. That guy."
"Him?"
"Yeah. His suitcase is carrying illegal drugs."
"You sure?"
"No doubt about it. I can SMELL it…"
"Let's wait and see. If he shows it and we caught him in the act, then we will strike."
"Fine."
"…"
In a matter of seconds, a group of persons, which are from rival Yakuza groups, approached the man, and both UA teachers realized that an exchange involving drugs are taking place, and as the two UA teachers are about to strike, something unexpected happened, as a person, dressed in a white dog costume, pounced on the group, beating them up whilst exposing the drugs.
Both Inui and Dan blinked their eyes at what they just saw, and wondered if the person is a pro hero or a vigilante, as this was the first time seeing someone taking down a drug-running group in a getup like that. In an unconventional way.
"Hey…"
"What the…?"
"Is that what I think it is…?"
"…"
"He seems to be…imitating you…"
"For real…?"
"Yeah…he's dressed like a dog…"
"…"
The person who beat up the crooks, appeared to be eccentric as he fights like a dog rather than a person, and he turns out to be a pro hero, identified only as Watchdog Man. Watchdog Man made sure that the yakuza group and the man carrying the drugs won't go anywhere, and soon police arrived and found the evidence, where the policemen carried the suspects and took them away.
Watchdog Man then went on top of a monument and sat there, which makes it look like a shrine of the famed dog, Hachiko. Vlad King and Hound Dog sweat-dropped as they wondered if Watchdog Man is really a pro hero or a person having a LOOSE SCREW, as they felt that a normal person would not do something like THAT, such as imitating Hachiko.
"Watchdog Man…"
"Is he really a pro hero…?"
"Looks like it…"
"But why that getup?"
"Well…he seemed to be a bit…"
"I bet he's a whacko…"
"But he seemed to resemble you, Inui…"
"Knock it off, Dan…uhh…"
Suddenly, Hound Dog clutched his ears as if something is trying to control him, and he crouches as he tries to fight it off, and Vlad King appeared worried and asked his fellow UA teacher what is wrong, and Hound Dog managed to tell him what he is feeling before he slowly loses control of himself, which made the homeroom teacher of Class 1-B becoming worried.
"Inui! What's wrong?"
"S-something…controlling…me…"
"Hang in there!"
"…"
"Inui!"
"C-can't…"
"Pull yourself together!"
"…"
Suddenly, Hound Dog began to act feral and started to attack Vlad King, and there the Class 1-B teacher is forced to defend himself while trying to reach out to Hound Dog, but then he shouted at the pedestrians to get back, warning that Hound Dog is being controlled by someone, which alerted the rest of the crowd to back away while watching Vlad King attempting to restrain Hound Dog.
"Whoa!"
"Get back!"
"What's going on?"
"Isn't that the pro hero Hound Dog?"
"Why is he attacking Vlad King?"
"Something's not right…"
"Someone call the police…"
"Call a pro hero!"
Suddenly, Watchdog Man came down and took on Hound Dog, and the two heroes assume dog-like stances, and Vlad King became worried at the turn of events and attempted to dissuade Watchdog Man from fighting, saying that Hound Dog is not feeling well, though Watchdog Man did not seem to listen to him as his sight is focused on Hound Dog.
"H-hey…"
"…"
"Don't worry…I got this…"
"…"
"My friend is not feeling well…"
"…"
"Are you listening…?"
"…"
Suddenly, Hound Dog charges forward, prompting Watchdog Man to do the same and the two pro heroes began fighting, like real dogs which seemed to move from one spot to another, and Vlad King is unsure where to intervene, seeing that the two heroes are fighting ferociously like wild dogs, in which the Class 1-B homeroom teacher is conflicted on what to do.
The public watched in awe and worry, as they are astounded to see two pro heroes fighting each other, and they wondered what is going on, and some began recording the scene with their smartphones, commenting that this is a fun way to watch, and it would be a trending topic to the social media regarding two pro heroes whose motif are based on dogs.
"Wow…"
"This is interesting…"
"Two pro heroes looking like dogs…"
"This is going to be a trending topic…"
"The social media users are gonna be nuts when they see this…"
"Let's do a selfie…"
"Don't get too close…"
"Picture!"

Elsewhere, the scene shows that Izuku Midoriya is doing a window-shopping at a nearby mall, and then came across a surplus shop that sells vegetables and fruits at discounted prices, and as Midoriya looks on, he saw Minoru Mineta peering about, in which he is wearing his hero costume and there Midoriya asked Mineta why is he wearing his costume.
Mineta revealed that a food company wanted to use his image as a way to advertise their newest products, and said the company requested that he appear in his hero costume, and when he did, he is paid well, giving him a paycheck worth three months of salary.
"Really, Mineta-san?"
"Yup."
"The company must have saw some financial potential in you…"
"Yep. Being a UA student sure is advantageous…I even get paid for doing advertising work…"
"Guess you are feeling happy now."
"Yeah. Now I got an allowance for the next three months…"
"Ha-ha…"
"Ha-ha…"
By then, pro hero Saitama passes by, also wearing his hero costume, and he recognized Midoriya and greeted him, asking how are things and if he is studying at Silverfang's dojo, in which Midoriya said that he recommended his classmates to study at Silverfang's dojo and the dojo is slowly being filled with martial arts enthusiasts, and told him that he (Midoriya) only spent a month there and left, reasoning that he was busy with the work studies and all.
Mineta stared at Saitama, as he has heard of him through Midoriya, though he is quite taken aback at seeing him in person, and mentally commented that Saitama had a rather odd look and doesn't look like a serious pro hero, but then he whispered to Midoriya and asked if what he said is true about Saitama being SUPER STRONG.
"Hey, Midoriya…"
"Yes, Mineta?"
"That bald-looking guy…"
"What about it?"
"Is it true that you said that he's really strong?"
"Sort of…I saw him withstood some blows…"
"So he's strong as All Might…"
"I suppose…"
Saitama noticed Mineta and mistook him for Midoriya's LITTLE RELATIVE and patted him on the head, asking which elementary school he is studying, commenting that he seemed to be a kindergarten student, not to mention he finds Mineta's costume odd-looking, as he mistook the small tights for a DIAPER, which he commented about it, causing Mineta to stare in annoyance and felt quite insulted, and he told him that he is in high school and at present he is 16 years old. Saitama blinked his eyes as he did not expect this and said that Mineta looked more like a toddler given the diaper-looking ornament on Mineta's hero costume.
Mineta stared wide-eyed and began to verbally lash at Saiitama, but Midoriya held him back and urged him to calm down, saying that Saitama said that based on what he saw and that he cannot be blamed if he sees Mineta looking like a kid due to his size and hero costume, but Mineta refuses and demanded that Saitama apologize for the insult.
"I refuse! That baldy really ticked me off!"
"Calm down, Mineta!"
"I can't calm down! He insulted me!"
"It was an honest opinion! He didn't really mean it!"
"For me it is!"
"Calm down, Mineta!"
"I can't! I never been so humiliated in my whole life!"
"Just calm down!"
Saitama stared in a rather innocent way seeing that Mineta is taking the statement too personal, as he did not know that Mineta is really a high school student as he assumed the UA student being in elementary due to his height, and Midoriya tried hard to calm his classmate down as he said that Saitama did not really mean it and urged him to forget what the bald-looking pro hero said.
Suddenly, one of the customers came running, saying that he saw a news report about the feared villain, All-for-One has escaped and is heading this way, which the customers stared in terror, since they are aware that All Might is retired and can no longer fight.
"Everyone! Run for your lives!"
"Huh?"
"Why?"
"All For One has escaped! He's going to attack!"
"What?"
"No way!"
"This is bad!"
"I'm out of here!"
Suddenly, All-For-One barged through the wall, and he looked around until finding Midoriya, as he is intending to target the boy due to him possessing the Quirk One-for-All, and he tells Midoriya that he will be taking the Quirk as the boy has no right wielding it.
Midoriya pushes Mineta back as a way to protect him as he did not want his classmate to get dragged in, and to prevent All-for-One from targeting him to steal his classmate's Quirk should the villain discover Mineta's Quirk function, and he tells Mineta to go run and get help from pro heroes.
Mineta asked Midoriya if he is sure, which Midoriya nodded and told his classmate to go and get help.
"Just go!"
"Are you sure, Midoriya? You're going to face that guy?"
"Yes!"
"But…"
"I'll manage! Just go and get help!"
"But…you against…"
"Trust me on this, Mineta! Just go and get help!"
"…"
"…"
Saitama watches on as Midoriya activates his Quirk and is ready to use Shoot Style Full Cowling, ready to defend himself and the customers inside the mall, though All-For-One just grinned as he said that once he takes Midroiya's Quirk, he will be ready to resume his BUSINESS and settle an old score with All Might and resume his tutoring with the League of Villains.
Midoriya, however, rebukes him and said he will not let the villain do as he wants.
"You won't!"
"Really, boy?"
"You won't take anyone's Quirk ever again!"
"Ha-ha…so brave, yet foolish."
"I will stop you!"
"You'll be an easy prey…and once I take your Quirk…I'll kill you and present your head as trophy to All Might…"
"Just you try it!"
"Stupid boy…"
