Ch. 19: Hagane no karada part 2

At Heroes Association HQ, the scene shows that the executives are having a meeting where they discussed about the recent events, and among them is the unexpected resignation of the disguised Shoto Todoroki, as the executives feel that it was such a waste that the disguised Todoroki spend only a few weeks at the Association yet he quickly rose to A-rank because of his rather impressive showing.

The executives are baffled when the disguised Todoroki claimed that his reasons for resigning from the Association is due to BEING UNHAPPY and wished to RETIRE, and executives attempted to offer him something to make him reconsider, but the executives failed and were compelled to grant it and now they are figuring out how to fill the void left by the disguised Todoroki.

"This is quite a situation we have."

"Indeed. That boy had great potential and promise. Heck, he would have attain S-Class in a few months from now…"

"Why would he wish to resign?"

"Perhaps he doesn't like his current status…"

"Maybe he finds it difficult to his liking and pace about working at the Heroes Association…"

"Stop daydreaming! We need to find a way to fill the void! The boy's ice powers were too valuable to us…"

"Relax. We still have lots of heroes to fill the…"

"We only have a few in S-Class to B-Class! And the ones in C-class are totally expendable!"

As the executives are bickering over this, they have no idea that the disguised Todoroki managed to discover something that led to his decision to resign after having seen enough what goes on within the Heroes Association .

At the Todoroki residence, Shoto arrived and is greeted by his siblings Fuyumi and Naoto, and they asked how did it go at the Heroes Association, as the siblings are the only ones aware that Shoto went undercover there, seeing that their brother intend to see and experience what's it like working at the Heroes Association.

There Shoto told Fuyumi and Naoto about the experience he felt, and while the pay is good, he saw some form of discrimination there, such as the treatment of heroes under the rankings system where heroes sorted onto the C-Class has to make a quota, and failure results in getting expelled and their names removed from the registry.

Shoto also cited that those heroes under the S-Class and A-Class category can make their residence at the Heroes Association HQ while the B and C-Class heroes cannot, which made Fuyumi and Naoto feel annoyed at such standards.

"Eh? Seriously?"

"What the hell? What kind of system is that?"

"That's terrible!"

"Good thing you quit, Shoto. That kind of environment is just like how our dad run things here!"

"Naoto…don't use dad as…"

"But it's true, sis!"

"Calm down, Naoto…"

"But…"

Shoto nodded in agreement, stating that the one who originally formed the Association seemed to neglect this and wondered if he is still connected or not, feeling that the executives are now the ones running it and pulling the strings.

There the Todoroki siblings discussed more and Fuyumi and Naoto also learned from Shoto that heroes sorted into S-Class and A-Class developed a superiority complex and oftentimes bragged their status while looking down on heroes who are on the B-Class and C-Class.

The siblings told Shoto that he did the right thing in quitting Heroes Association while early, and urged him to stick with UA High, which he nodded and urged his siblings to keep this discussion a secret, which the two assured that no one will find out.

"Nee-chan…nii-san…please kept this discussion a secret."

"Of course, Shoto."

"Sure. No problem."

"And please keep this from dad. I don't want him to find out about this."

"Sure."

"You got it."

"Thanks"

"You're welcome."

"No problem."

Elsewhere, the scene shifts at a bank, where three UA students are currently lining up to talk to a customer teller so that they would inquire about opening a savings account due to Kirishima and Tetsutetsu receiving wages from their hero work study, though Bakugo is just tagging along and whined about the long line.

Kirishima smiled and urged his classmate to bear with it and promised that everything will go smoothly and after that they will stroll at the nearest mall, which Bakugo reluctantly grunted, saying as long as the air conditioner inside the bank is functioning and it doesn't make things unbearably hot.

"Come on, Bakugo, be a man and endure the HEAT."

"Hmph."

"After this we'll go to the mall. The air conditioner is good."

"Really?"

"Yup."

"Fine."

"Just be a little patient."

"Whatever, shitty-hair."

Suddenly a large group of bank robbers barged in, and are armed with high-powered firearms, which they demonstrated by shooting down the guards, riddling them with large bullets that killed them on the spot and had the customers surrounded.

They then shot one of the tellers, hitting her on the head, in which an EXPLOSIVE BULLET is used and the teller's head EXPLODED, and the robbers warned the hostages and bank staff members not to set off the silent alarm. This caused customers to scream in terror.

"EEEEEKKKK!"

"KKKKYYYYAAAHHH!"

"HELP!"

"CALL THE SECURITY!"

"SOMEONE SAVE ME!"

"CALL RAMBO!"

"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"

"I'M OUT OF HERE!"

Bakugo is poised to get into action but Kirishima and Tetsutetsu urged him to stay back as they noted that the bullets the robbers using are designed to kill a victim in one shot. The two said they will deal with the robbers as their Quirks will allow them to withstand the bullets, much to Bakugo's reluctance.

"Bakugo…better stay back."

"Those bullets look like they can shatter one's internal organs."

"…"

"It's like an instant kill whoever gets hit."

"Our quirks can handle the bullets."

"Hmph."

"Tell you what. Once we distract them, then you can blow up their guns."

"You okay with that?"

"Fine."

As Kirishima and Tetsutetsu activated their Quirks, they are ready to face the bank robbers, but the person spoke as he discarded the trench coat and hat, revealing himself as pro hero Superalloy Darkshine, and the two UA students stared in awe seeing his body shining like metal, which appeared to be bronze as the pro hero tells the two youngsters that he will take care of things here.

"You boys stay back."

"What the…"

"Whoa…"

"I'll deal with those bank robbers."

"No way…"

"Talk about HEAVY METAL…"

"Leave it to me, and everyone will be saved."

"Is he for real…?"

"Can't tell…"

Darkshine then stepped forward as he confronted the bank robbers and warned them about the consequences if they do not surrender, which the robbers aimed their weapons at him, as they do not fear anyone, be it the law enforcers, civilians or pro hero.

However they were put off by Darkshine's appearance, seeing that he is only clad in his short tights, making look like a human trophy and asked him if he has a death wish or something.

"What the heck?"

"Is he for real?"

"What is he?"

"He looks like a bronze statue…"

"Or a human trophy.."

"Whatever. It looks like he wants to die…"

"Yeah, we can test our guns on him…"

"Ha-ha…"

Darkshine smirked while flexing his body, which made Kirishima and Tetsutetsu sweat-dropped, wondering if this guy is showing off or if he is aware of what is happening here, but then they heard some of the customers squealing, as they recognized Darkshone as a pro hero, and both Tetsutetsu and Kirishima stared in surprise at hearing this, shocked by the fact that a tan-skinned, muscular person clad only in a short tights is a pro hero.

"Eh? You hear that, Kirishima?"

"That guy's a pro hero?"

"Why is he only in a speedo?"

"Don't know if he's an exhibitionist or something…"

"Maybe he thinks he's Apollo or something…you know?"

"I wonder."

"What's his power is like?"

"Probably similar to yours, Tetsutetsu…"

Bakugo himself appeared doubtful that someone like Darkshine is a pro hero, and if he is, why the getup? There some of the bank customers who recognize Darkshine cheered him on and urges him to take out the bank robbers and show them their places.

"DARKSHINE!"

"SAVE US!"

"STOP THOSE ROBBERS!"

"MAKE THEM SORRY!"

"BEAT THEM UP!"

"HURRY! STOP THEM!"

"USE YOUR POWERS!"

"YOU CAN OPEN AN ACCOUNT IN THIS BANK!"

The bank robbers stared in surprise as they slowly recognized Darkshine and began to falter, but the leader told them not to get spooked as they have weapons and that the explosive bullets will take care of the pro hero in no time.

The robbers nodded as their confidence returned as they believe that their weapons can match against any pro heroes and tells Darkshine that he will be an example of what would happen if anyone tries to get in their way.

"He's right!"

"We got power guns!"

"That's right! We can waste him!"

"Teach these assholes a lesson!"

"Ha-ha!"

"Now I'm pumped!"

"Let's set an example…"

"Good idea!"

Bakugo noticed that some of the robbers are aiming their weapons on the bank customers, and tells Kirishima and Tetsutetsu to get going and distract the robbers while he will sneak closer to the rest of the robbers and destroy their weapons, which Kirishima asked if he is sure, worried that he might get shot, but Bakugo told his classmate not to worry, and tells him and Tetsutetsu to use their Quirks to deflect the bullets, and the trio UA students nodded in agreement.

"Just shut up and do it!"

"You sure?"

"Really, Bakugo?"

"I'm serious. Block their ammo and I'll deal with the rest."

"Okay."

"You got it."

"Good."

"Be careful."

"And stay safe."

The three UA students went into action as Kirishima and Tetsutetsu activated their Quirks (Hardening and Steel respectively), and the robbers were taken aback at seeing this, and realized that the two are students from UA High, and the leader of the robbers told his men to open fire at the two, urging them to disregard the fact that they are kids and treat them as disposable hostages.

"Shoot them down! Kill them! They're just disposable brats!"

"RIGHT!"

"YOU GOT IT!"

"WASTE THESE MOTHERFUCKERS!"

"MAKE THEM BLEED ON THEIR DIAPERS!"

"MURDER THEM!"

"DIE!"

"HA-HA!"

The robbers opened fire and the explosive bullets struck the two teens, bur their Quirks somewhat deflected the bullets yet the impact caused Kirishima to stager back, which prompted Tetsutetsu to take the brunt and managed to hold the bullets back, and this prompt Darkshine to provide assistance, using his body to deflect the bullets.

The two UA students were amazed at seeing Darkshine's body withstanding the bullets as if he is made of armor…specifically BRONZE.

"Ease up, kids. Leave it to me."

"Whoa…"

"His body held off the bullets…"

"This is something only a pro hero can do. You can't…"

"We can sir."

"We got our provisional hero license…so…"

"Really…?"

"Yeah."

"Let's work together, sir."

To Be Continued...

Hope you liked this chapter, and while the situation in the bank has begun and tension filled the building, the three UA students appeared to be hard-pressed until Darkshine provided assistance, and a team-up is in the work though it ended in a cliffhanger…

Todoroki resurfaces, and is now back to being a UA student after a few weeks of undergoing undercover at Heroes Association, having seen how things were being run and he did not like it. Fortunately no one from the Heroes Association figure out his identity after Shoto uses an assumed disguise and all…
