And more hints on foreshadowing Stain's appearance…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 20: Hagane no karada part 3
Elsewhere, Izuku Midoriya is walking by the streets as he is having a day-off and decided to take a stroll as he needed to relax, having trained himself at the gym within UA High, and as he passed by an electronics store, a TV on display showed a sudden news flash about Hero Killer Stain managing to escape, and this made Midoriya feel surprised.
The shopkeeper saw the news, and having recognized Midoriya, he advised him to be careful as the Hero Killer is no joke and that he doesn't choose any targets and will go attack anymore he deem a FAKER, whether they are teenagers or not.
"You ought to be careful, kid."
"Y-yeah…"
"This ain't a joke. The Hero Killer means business."
"I know."
"With All Might retired, it's up to Endeavor to stop him."
"Yeah. I know the feeling."
"Better be careful and not wander off."
"I will."
Midoriya recalled his last encounter with Stain and wondered what would happen if they crossed paths again and what if Stain decides to target him should he deem Midoriya a FAKER again.

Elsewhere, the scene shows that Stain has managed to elude his pursuers and just acquired bladed weapons of his own and now planning to resume his CRUSADE and rid society of FAKE HEROES and make his statement known.
"This time…I will fix this messed up society…"
Meanwhile news of Stain's escape has been reported and many of the citizens are apprehensive yet some are confident that heroes will bring him down and deem the Hero Killer a HOPELESS ATTENTION-SEEKER and hoped that he gets his comeuppance.
"Stain got away again?"
"What's he up to?"
"Hope the heroes get him again…"
"Endeavor will do it."
"How about that cyborg hero?"
"Genos?"
"Hey…the bald guy with the cape! He can knock the Hero Killer with ONE PUNCH!"
"Seriously?"

At Heroes Association HQ, the executives are having a meeting after getting info about the Hero Killer, and while they initially deem him just ANOTHER small-timer, they changed their minds after they received additional information about what Stain is capable of, and soon they realize that the financial backers of Heroes Association might become Stain's target, thus if that happens Heroes Association might be compromised if Stain kills the financial backers.
There they discussed about what to do and made suggestions that they send pro heroes to hunt down Stain, and among those candidates mentioned include:
S-Class:
- Atomic Samurai
- Metal Bat
- Zombie Man
- Pig God
- Tatsumaki
- Silver Fang
- Genos
- Puri-Puri Prisoner
Majority of the executives agree to the suggestion though other executive members suggested to utilize pro heroes in the A-Class category, which includes:
- Kamen Amai Mask
- Heavy Tank Loincloth
- Blue Fire
- MagicTrick Man
- Death Gatling
- Stinger
- Lightning Genji
- Lightning Max
- Golden Ball
- Spring Mustachio
- Chain 'n Toad
- Snake Fist Sneck
- Heavy Kong
Another executive then suggested utilizing pro heroes under the B-Class category, which includes the following:
- Fubuki
- Wild Horn
- Saitama
- Jet Nice Guy
The executives began to debate as they have preferences on which category of heroes to be used as they are worried that pro heroes of other industries might overshadow Heroes Association should other heroes, such as Endeavor and Hawks, catch Stain, and if that happens it may make Heroes Association look bad, which the executives agree on the topic.
"We need to step up our activities to increase our reputation…"
"Yes…we can't let other pro heroes hog the spotlight…"
"Indeed."
"If we manage to take down this Stain…we would look more favorable to the public…"
"Not only that…our financial backers would be impressed if we manage to take down the Hero Killer…and this would entice more businessmen to back our organization financially…"
"Then we must pool our resources and pitch ideas which pro hero are we going to send in hunting down Stain…"
"Right."
"I'm listening…"

Meanwhile, the scene shifts at the bank, where 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."
Nodding, Darkshine and Tetsutetsu began to work together as they used their bodies to deflect the bullets, which allowed Kirishima to get closer and began to knock down some of the robbers while Bakugo got close and use his Explosion Quirk to cause the weapons to explode, disarming the robbers and this caused the others to buck under pressure.
But the leader urged his cohorts to stand their ground as he grabbed a pregnant woman and aimed his rifle inside the woman's mouth, threatening to shoot her to death if the heroes do not stand down, which Bakugo sneered at the bluff and said he won't be fooled, but Kirishima urged his classmate to calm down and tells him not to act recklessly as the pregnant woman's baby and life are at stake.
"Ease up, Bakugo!"
"Grr…"
"We can't risk getting the pregnant woman getting hurt!"
"Damn it…"
"We need a plan…"
"Got any idea, Kirishima?"
"…"
"We can't move like this…!"
Things became tense as the robbers gain the upper hand as the leader of the robbers have a good hold on the hostage which forced the three UA students and Darkshine to stand still, and he ordered his men to shoot the three heroes to death as a display on who is in charge and to show everyone what happens if anyone dare defy him.
The henchmen roared in approval as they prepare their weapons to shoot down the three teenagers to death and then shoot down Darkshine.
"Shoot them down!"
"Yes, boss!"
"Got it!"
"Let's ace these motherfuckers!"
"Show them their places!"
"Ha-ha!"
"Bye-bye, heroes!"
"See you on the other side!"
As Bakugo, Kirishima and Tetsutetsu gritted their teeth as they couldn't do anything, an unexpected situation took place as someone barges in and catches the robbers' attention, which turn out to be Genos, as he happened to be passing by, and after hearing of the situation he uses his cybernetic eyes and got the gist, and this prompted him to charge inside the bank.
There he uses his weapons to disable the robbers' weapons and this allowed Darkshine and the three UA students to charge and take down the robbers and soon the police came in and captured them, and moments later both Darkshine and Genos are given praise, whilst Bakugo is displeased that he, Kirishima and Tetsutetsu are being overlooked, and overshadowed.
Kirishima tried to cheer his classmate up and assured that one day their talents and heroics will be recognized by the public, which Tetsutetsu agreed, though Bakugo is still displeased with what just happened.
"Cheer up, Bakugo."
"Yeah. We saved the day."
"And still we weren't recognized for stopping the bank robbers…"
"We'll get the praise we deserve…"
"Yeah, just be patient."
"Hmph."
"Come on…"
"Be happy…"
Meanwhile, Darkshine thanked Genos for the assist, which the cyborg said it is nothing and applauded Darkshine for managing to hold off the robbers. Darkshine then admitted that he got assistance from teenagers who are students at a hero school which somewhat piqued Genos' curiosity.
"Students…as heroes…"
"Yeah…that's what they say…"
"Hmm…I heard of it…there are several schools that teaches students to become future pro heroes…"
"Me too."
"Well…there are a lot of them…Shiketsu…UA…"
"I'll do a research on it…"
"Whatever. We better go."
"Fine."
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, and while the situation in the bank has finally stabilized, things ended not so good as the three UA students were seemingly ignored as the public seemed to pay more attention to the adult pro heroes…
Midoriya is facing a situation when news showed that Stain escaped, and there's a possibility that Stain and Midoriya might cross path again…
Speaking of Stain, the executives at Heroes Association appeared interested in hunting down the Hero Killer, mainly because they feared that he might target the Association's financial backers, and if that happens the Association would lose financial support, hence they are now planning to assign which pro hero they would send in finding Stain…
