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, the current story arc commences as some of the characters of MHA meets up with another support character of One Punch Man, where they seemed to have a similar talents, and now they are slated for an UNPLEASANT encounter…

In this case, Mei Hatsume will get the chance to SHINE in this story arc…

And more hints on foreshadowing Stain's appearance…

Well then, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 21: Bijinesu kyōsō o sapōto part 1

The scene shifts at a secret hideout, where the person identified only as Dr. Bofoi, is having a meeting with one of the businessmen who is into the support items industry, and while he is wealthy to a degree, he is starting to lose potential clients and is desperate to get a certain SOMEONE out of his way whom he is deeming a threat, and there he begged to Dr. Bofoi to help him as this potential threat is causing him to lose his source of income.

Bofoi is at first not interested and asked his client why would he approached him for such a shallow request, and there the businessman revealed the person he deem a threat to his livelihood – Mei Hatsume!

Bofoi stared at the monitor looking at the photo of Hatsume and asked his client why is he so shaken up over a teenage girl but the client told Bofoi what he knows about Hatsume and the fact about her skills as an inventor and her marketing skills over support items.

"I tell you…Hatsume is someone not to be taken lightly!"

"Really…?"

"Yes! she's a threat to me!"

"Surely you can…"

"I tell you…she's not some ordinary bitch who can tinker with items!"

"…"

"I'll show you! Here…"

"…"

Bofoi stared at Hatsume's image shown on his huge monitor, and sensed that he has seen her somewhere before and he tells the client that he will call him back as he will study his options on whether to help him or not, which the client asked if Bofoi is sure.

"Really, Bofoi?"

"…"

"Can you really…?"

"Give me time to think things through…"

"But…"

"I will call you back."

"W-wait…"

"…"

After that Bofoi ended the call and went to his monitor and did a research on Hatsume on the internet and soon found a search bar on YouTube where Hatsume is shown on the UA Sports Festival where she passed the preliminary rounds and the Calvary battle and made it to the semi-finals where she FOUGHT Tenya Iida, and there Bofoi rubbed his chin after seeing what Hatsume did there, quite impressed at the support items she made while doing an INFOMERCIAL.

Bofoi then searched the internet to see which companies that Hatsume is planning to meet and how to sabotage her, as well as developing a fascination to plunder her inventions to see if hers are superior to his or not.

At the streets of Roppongi, a trio of businessmen are seen walking, and apparently drunk after a drinking session whilst romancing some prostitutes as they were having a good time, whilst the prostitutes are asking favors so as to get some source of extra money.

The trio businessmen can be heard bragging that the Heroes Association are a better institution than the Public Safety Commission, and that the S-Class heroes can do a better job than what top-tier heroes do, as they looked down on top heroes Endeavor and Hawks.

"Hah…the Heroes Association is a better institution than those we seen…"

"Yeah…"

"At least we have TOP heroes…unlike that muscled pyromaniac and that birdbrain…"

"Heh-heh…throw a bucket of water and Endeavor is extinguished…"

"Pluck a feather and Hawks is FRIED CHICKEN…!"

"Them as the current number one and number two…hah!"

"Big deal!"

"They're just garbage!"

"Indeed!"

When the prostitutes asked what are their opinions on the retired All Might, the drunken businessmen bursts into laughter, saying that All Might is nothing but a windbag as a HOLE punctured his body and now just a SKELETON who would make a good skeleton puppet for display at biology classes as well as a mascot for Halloween.

"I say he's perfect for a horror movie!"

"Or a perfect costume for a Halloween party!"

"I bet our children would love that!"

"Yeah!"

"All Might is obsolete now!"

"I can kick him on the balls right now!"

"Slap his face!"

"He's an old hag on a respirator!"

"Throw an oxygen tank on him, he'll be wheezing for mercy! Ha-ha-ha!"

The prostitutes, surprisingly, we're disgusted at the men's answer. The women have a certain degree of respect for All Might after sacrificing himself to defeat a powerful villain like All For One, and the prostitutes slapped the three men and left.

Despite this the drunken fool's felt that as long as they financially support the Heroes Association they are UNTOUCHABLE. They laughed as they decided to go look for another group of prostitutes.

However, someone stood in their path, and despite being drunk the men have some presence of mind and they began to tremble in fear as they recognized who stood in front of them.

"Wh-what the…?"

"N-no way…!"

"It's him…!"

"Uh-oh…"

"Geez!"

"Not him!"

"You got to be kidding me…!"

"Uh…"

"Guys…we should…!"

It was Hero Killer Stain, and he is disgusted at how they show no respect to the retired All Might and he drew his blades, asking them if they have any last words before they receive a lesson in life, and promised to make it painful.

"Any last words before I make mincemeat out of you fools…?"

The trio took out their smartphone to call the Heroes Association for help, but ended up arguing on which hero they should summon, as they have preferences, such as ones from B-Class, A-Class and S-Class.

"Quick! Call the Heroes Association! Get a pro hero here!"

"I'll call for Mumen Rider!"

"You idiot! He won't last for two seconds!"

"Get Pineapple Man!"

"Think harder, idiot! B-Class heroes are useless like the C-Class heroes!"

"The Fubuki Group! Fubuki! She can handle him!"

"Try Amai Mask! He's A-Class' top guy!"

"No can do! Call Silverfang! He can do it! He's an S-Class!"

Infuriated at the lowliness of the businessmen who financially support the Heroes Association, Stain uses his knives and attacked the trio, severely wounding them and said that those in the so-called Heroes Association are mere FAKERS and would never measure up to All Might, and then he left, where the trio moaned in painting while calling for help.

"Ow…"

"H-help…"

"M-mommy…"

"H-help me…"

"S-save me…"

"A-anyone…"

"C-call the…"

"Ow…"

"I'm gonna die…"

A few minutes later some passerby passed by and are shocked at seeing the men's BLOODY states and they immediately called the ambulance to get help.

A few days later, the scene shifts at UA Academy where Hatsume is at Power Loader's workshop, as she is working on her newest sets of BABIES, and there Power Loader came and told her that a company is requesting her presence as they are interested in purchasing her invented support items as well as wanting to make a business deal with her.

Hatsume stared in an overly, jovial manner as she felt that her BABIES are finally being recognized, though Power Loader said that he is going to ask Nezu to have her excused from classes, and Hatsume said she is grateful.

"Yes! Thank you!"

"Easy, Hatsume…"

"At last! My BABIES are finally getting the recognition they deserve…!"

"But try not to spook your potential clients…"

"Sure! Sure!"

"As long as you do that…I hope that…"

"No problem, Power Loader!"

"Okay, I'll go see the principal…wait for my call…"

After an hour, Power Loader told Hatsume that she is given permission, but she would have to be accompanied by select representatives from the Business Course to ensure that her demonstration would go smoothly, which she said she doesn't mind it as long as she can make a good impression to her potential clients.

Power Loader just nodded and tells her to contact the company so they can set up a date for the demonstration, which she grinned as she took out her smartphone and thanked Power Loader for his help in making things possible.

"Yes! Thank you!"

"Easy, Hatsume…don't get overly excited…"

"At last! My BABIES are finally getting the recognition they deserve…! After some time…they are getting the attention they deserve…!"

"But try not to spook your potential clients…and make sure your inventions don't BLOW UP on their faces…"

"Sure! Sure!"

"As long as you do that…I hope that…"

"No problem, Power Loader! Ha-ha!"

"Okay, good luck…"

-x-

Later, the time now is 17:00, and you can see Hatsume leaving UA Academy, where she is seen talking with her schoolmates from the Business Course as they coached her on how to impress the members of the companies they are slated to meet, and there she assured to them that everything will go smoothly without problems.

The three Business Course classmates whispered amongst themselves as they feel nervous after seeing some of her inventions go haywire and almost caused a scene, yet they are staking at this and hoped that she would do well.

"You think…?"

"I'm dreading this…"

"Me too…"

"Well, we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed…"

"Yeah."

"And hoped that her meeting will be successful…"

"Right! UA Academy's reputation is on the line…"

"And hopefully she doesn't screw up this time…"

By then Izuku Midoriya passed by and Hatsume called him as she gives him the support items he requested and he thanked her for that, which she said it is nothing as she takes pride in PERFECTING HER BABIES.

"Thanks, Hatsume-san!"

"Sure! No problem!"

"They are going to be a big help to me!"

"I know!"

"Still, I owe you one on this!"

"It's fine! They're my BABIES after all!"

"Uh…"

"Ha-ha!"

Not far, someone is watching them, and the line of sight is focused on Hatsume giving Midoriya instructions on how to operate the support items, looking interested in it, and the scene zoomed towards the watcher, who is hiding from a distance.

It turns out to be the pro hero, Metal Knight, and he is seemingly observing Hatsume as he is watching her every move, and it is slowly revealed that Metal Knight sent some mini-drones that are equipped with scramblers to render itself invisible to UA Academy's sensors, and somehow obtained footage of the support items she stored at Power Loader's workshop.

And there Metal Knight also overheard the discussion about Hatsume meeting with a company who wish to invest in Hatsume's inventions and it appeared that Metal Knight has an unrevealed motive towards the support course student.

"So…that's Hatsume…I will follow her and see what she is made of…"

To Be Continued...

Hope you liked this chapter, and while not much action is shown, other than a brief display from Stain, things are much normal except that Hatsume takes the spotlight for this arc…and her potential ENCOUNTER with one of the MOST WARY and UNTRUSTED heroes in the form of Dr. Bofoi, who seemed to have taken an interest with Hatsume after getting a request from one of Hatsume's unseen business rival.

And now pro hero Metal Knight is seen stalking Hatsume and is planning on observing her every move before taking action…

Preview:

A possible clash between Hatsume and Metal Knight is on the horizon as Hatsume finally meets with her potential clients as she began displaying her BABIES to support company representatives, whilst Metal Knight observes before taking action…

See you in 6-8 weeks (probably around mid-September or October)…

Reviews are welcomed, but needed…
