Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 64: Hadena muryō no subete part 3
The scene shifts at the gates of Heights Alliance, where the four members of the Heavenly Ninja Party appeared, and while their approach was a peaceful one, which Hado glanced in an innocent way, Midoriya glanced at them as he noticed the Heavenly Ninja Party members' attire, the sight of their attire made him recall something as he started to remember encountering a ninja a few months ago, but is unable to recall who, as it has been several months since he last encountered Speed-o'-Sound Sonic.
Hado glanced at the members of the Heavenly Ninja Party and she asked Midoriya if they are his fans, which Midoriya honestly deny, stating that he has never seen any of them before.
"Huh? You mean they're not your admirers…?"
"No, Hado-senpai…I never met them before…"
"Huh…?"
"This is the first time I encountered them…"
"Seriously…?"
"Yes. Seriously."
"…"
"…"
There Illusory Phantom approached Midoriya and tells him that he would like to have a word with him, and said that they are a NEWLY-FORMED pro heroes who just started, and said that he and his comrades would like to speak with Midoriya, surprising the younger boy upon hearing this, unaware that it was actually a ruse from the Heavenly Ninja Party members.
"You…wish to…speak to me…?"
"Yes."
"And you're all pro heroes…?"
"Indeed."
"Then…"
"We have something we would like to offer you…as a fellow pro hero…"
"But…I'm still a student…and I'm not yet legally a…"
"That can be arranged…"
However, Disorderly Chaos, Murderous Slaughter and Vibrating Tremor told Hado that this is STRICTLY between them and Midoriya, hence she should go, surprising and baffling the Big Three member as she didn't expect that she'd be turned away just like that.
"Lady. Please leave."
"This is strictly business between him and us."
"And you're not involved."
"What was that…?"
"Leave now."
"This doesn't concern you."
"And you're not important."
"Ne-ne…hold on…"
Hearing what the three members of the Heavenly Ninja Party said to Hado, and disliking the tone and the way they spoke to her, Midoriya gently held her hand and told them that Hado stays and that she deserves to hear what they are about to say, reasoning that, for SECURITY REASONS, he rather have a witness here than listening to strangers alone, which the four Heavenly Ninja Party members glanced at each other and realized that they may have botched their chance by being rude towards Hado.
"This is bad…"
"That wench got in the way…"
"Now we can't ambush and assassinate that boy…"
"Wait…perhaps we can still carry out the assignment. We should invite the girl as well. Once we lure them away from here…you three will deal with the boy, while I will discreetly kill the girl…then I'll join you in killing the boy."
"Hmm that's a bit risky…"
"Maybe it might work…we'll pretend that we will apologize to the girl then we invite her along with the boy…then we separate them…"
"Sounds good."
"Then it's settled…"
As the Heavenly Ninja Party members are in agreement, they faced the two teens and there Illusory Phantom APOLOGIZED to Hado for the RUDE manner and invited her to come with Midoriya, saying that they have a proposal in regards to working as a LEGITIMATE pro hero, which the three other members of the Heavenly Ninja Party members smiled while nodding.
This somewhat worked as Midoriya and Hado appeared to have been swayed, but then Illusory Phantom sensed that a UA teacher is approaching and his ninja senses tell him that it is not safe to stay here and attract and arouse unwanted attention and there he told Midoriya that they will speak to him and Hado another time, and there Disorderly Chaos, Murderous Slaughter and Vibrating Tremor sensed the approaching UA Academy teacher and the four ninjas casually left as if nothing happened.
It turns out that despite appearing to be swayed by what the Heavenly Ninja Party members said a moment ago, Midoriya maintained a cautious look and asked Hado if she is okay, which she nodded and asked what just happened, in which Midoriya said that he felt something is off, and that he didn't like the tone of their manners when they rudely told her to leave, and even though they apologize to her, Midoriya has doubts about what they said, and he maintained a cautious stand as he intend to decline their offer before the four Heavenly Ninja Party members abruptly left, and Hado smiled at seeing what a gentleman Midoriya is, but then she said that regarding his PROPOSAL a while ago which Midoriya realized it, and wondered if Hado would accept or turn him down.
As Hado is about to give her reply, the UA teacher arrived, who turn out to be Midnight and there she asked Midoriya and Hado what are they doing outside the dorm area, and there Hado told Midnight about four persons dressed like ninjas and said that they are pro heroes and wanted to speak to Midoriya, but also explain about their rude behavior and how Midoriya defended her, which Midnight stared at Hado in a serious manner as she sensed that something unprecedented took place.
"Did you say four men claiming to be pro heroes…?"
"Yup."
"Really…? They say that they're pro heroes…?"
"That's right."
"Were they armed?"
"Hmm they only carried swords…just like the ones you saw on anime…like Demon Slayer and Rurouni Kenshin…"
"Hmm…okay…now listen up…"
"?"
Midnight then asked Midoriya and Hado to describe the Heavenly Ninja Party members which the two students gave a description and after listing it down, Midnight told the two teens that the strangers who spoke to them are likely villains as she stated that there is no registered pro heroes with the name Heavenly Ninja Party, and based on what Hado said, there is a possibility that the Heavenly Ninja Party members are targeting Midoriya for an unspecified reason, and the four strangers abruptly departing is likely due to sensing that she is heading here.
There Midnight told Midoriya and Hado to stay inside the dorms and not come out unless the situation calls for it and that they would be permitted to use their Quirks if the circumstances forces them to fight back in self-defense, which the two teens nodded in response.
"Okay. You two stay put at your dorms. Don't come out unless the situation calls for it."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"And in the event that your lives are in peril…you have permission to use your Quirk."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Understood?"
"Okay."
"Okay."
After that Midnight left as she heads back to UA Academy to inform Nezu of what she discovered, and Hado head off to the 3rd year dorms, Midoriya was left alone, and as Midoriya is about to go inside Speed-o'Sound Sonic showed up, surprising Midoriya as he finally recall who the ninja he fought several weeks ago, and there Sonic told Midoriya that he is lucky that Midnight showed up, and that he turned down the Heavenly Ninja Party members' offer to speak to Midoriya alone.
As Midoriya is baffled, Sonic told him about the Heavenly Ninja Party members, their history and their activities, surprising the 9th user of the One For All Quirk upon hearing that the Heavenly Ninja Party members are actually assassins and there Sonic told Midoriya that he overheard the Heavenly Ninja Party members' discussion, which he discovered that they were hired by someone to assassinate Midoriya himself, shocking the younger boy upon hearing this revelation.
"Huh? Someone…wants me…dead…?"
"Yeah. At least that's what I heard about…"
"Why…who would want to…?"
"Unfortunately I was unable to discern who hired them to plan an assassination assignment on you…"
"…"
"A while ago the Heavenly Ninja Party members tried to get that girl to leave. That's because they intend to kill you so that there won't be any witnesses around. And when you refused to have that girl leave, they decided to kill her alongside you so that there won't be any witnesses around…"
"That…can't be…"
"Sorry, kid…that's the truth…"
When a still-skeptical Midoriya asked if Sonic is telling the truth, the latter said that it is up to Midoriya to take his word or not, but strongly advises the younger boy not to travel alone as he made it clear that the Heavenly Ninja Party members are a group that is not to be taken lightly and that they are no pushover when it comes to assassination assignments, and there Sonic advised Midoriya to tell the school officials about what he told him, saying that the Heavenly Ninja Party members have already sneaked around UA Academy an hour ago and managed to conceal their presence from the UA Academy security robots, thus they are aware that only a handful of UA students are here and that majority of the UA teachers are currently on leave.
"Huh? They…already…infiltrated UA…?"
"Yeah. At least only on the outside…"
"Why…how did they…?"
"Hmph. Listen up, kid…robots are no match for REAL ninjas. That's the reality of it. The Heavenly Ninja Party members are so skilled that they are able to mask their presence…hence they are aware that few students are attending and that other teachers are out of the country at this time. Hence the Heavenly Ninja Party members decided to use this chance to try assassinating you, so my advise to you is to keep your guard up and try not to travel by yourself."
"…"
After that Sonic took his leave, which Midoriya was in a state of disbelief at what he just learned and wondered why Sonic would went out of his way to warn him after he tried to assassinate him several months ago, yet he was compelled to do something and took out his smartphone and called Nezu, and informed him of what took place moments ago.
-x-
Later, at the principal's office, Nezu was watching the CCTV footage where he, Midnight, Aizawa and Power Loader saw that the four members of the Heavenly Ninja Party were at the various rooftop areas within the campus, which Power Loader was surprised that the four intruders managed to get past the security robots that were patrolling the campus areas.
Then the three teachers and the principal saw the footage where the Heavenly Ninja Party members approached Midoriya right outside Heights Alliance, and there the CCTV footage was able to record the conversation where Nezu, Aizawa, Midnight and Power Loader heard the Heavenly Ninja Party members lied to Midoriya by claiming to be pro heroes working for the Hero Public Safety Commission, and there Aizawa was relieved to hear that Midoriya did not take the bait.
Power Loader then commented that Midoriya became cautious when the Heavenly Ninja Party members wanted to speak to Midoriya alone and rudely tried to get Hado to leave, which Midoriya took offense and said that Hado stays with him, but the Heavenly Ninja Party members abruptly departed as they somewhat sensed that Midnight was heading their way.
"Hmm…that was a close call. Had Midnight not showed up the intruders might have found the chance to assassinate Midoriya."
"Yeah, thank goodness."
"But still I can't believe that those intruders were able to outwit the security robots…"
"That's because they appeared to be ACTUAL ninjas."
"Still…this is a good development. Now we can make some adjustments and strengthen our security…and perhaps add more security robots and have them guard Heights Alliance."
"Yeah."
"Indeed."
"Good idea."
However, the four saw the next footage where Speed-o'Sound Sonic appeared, and upon listening to the recorded conversation, Aizawa became concerned after Sonic explained to Midoriya about the Heavenly Ninja Party members' history and the such, as well as revealing that the Heavenly Ninja Party members were hired to assassinate Midoriya, and there Aizawa told Power Loader that he should increase the security by updating the programming of the security robots and have some stand guard at Heights Alliance.
Midnight agreed and volunteered to stay at Heights Alliance to act as guardian for Midoriya as he, Ashido and Aoyama are the only students there as the rest are currently at overseas due participating in the World Heroes mission, which Nezu agreed as her Somnambulist Quirk might come in handy should the Heavenly Ninja Party members try to make another attempt to assassinate Midoriya.
"Midnight…perhaps it is a good idea that you get to be a guardian to the three Class 1-A students at this time. They're the only ones here as the rest of their classmates are at overseas."
"Okay."
"And your Quirk might come in handy."
"Ah, I see what you mean."
"Yes. Your Somnambulist Quirk might help in capturing those ninjas should they decided to infiltrate Heights Alliance and make an attempt to Midoriya's life…"
"Okay, leave it to me."
"Okay, and I'll handle the rest."
"Okay."
As Nezu replayed the footage, they saw that, before the Ninja Party members appear, Midoriya and Hado were embracing before exchanging romantic kisses, and there Midnight cooed as she gets to see a ROMANTIC MOMENT between the two teens, but Aizawa told her to stop acting like a romance fangirl and she should focus on increasing the security at Heights Alliance, but Nezu urged Aizawa to calm down as he will address the situation and told the three teachers to do their usual thing, which they nodded in acknowledgement.
"Okay, let's not panic and we should do our best in protecting the students."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"So let's give it our all and show everyone that UA Academy is a school where students would be safe"
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
But as Nezu checked the current footage he saw Midoriya standing outside of the dorm looking like he is concerned about something until Hado showed up and seemingly tried to cheer him up, and there the two embraced before sharing a ROMANTIC KISS, causing Midnight to embrace herself and cooed again like a romantic fangirl, which irked Aizawa and uses his capture cloth and COMICALLY strangles Midnight while telling her to behave.
"Enough already."
"GGGGAAAAHHHKKKK!"
"And I mean it. Stop clowning around as we got work to do."
"GGGGAAAAHHHKKKK!"
"So stop acting like a crazed fan and get to work. We need to increase the security as those assassins might come back and try to kill Midoriya."
"GGGGAAAAHHHKKKK!"
"Got that?"
"GGGGAAAAHHHKKKK!"
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, as things got a tense, FLASHY moment as Midoriya and Hado were confronted by the Heavenly Ninja Party as they pretended to be pro heroes just to get him to lower his guard as they are plotting to recruit him, but would also assassinate him if he turns down their offer.
Fortunately Midoriya didn't bite the bait as he became cautious when they tried to get Hado to leave, and that the four intruders left when Midnight came.
