Day 2 of Internship.
Izuku and Gran Torino headed out towards Shibuya, where they will hunt for Villains.
Izuku was shocked by Gran Torino's decision. "What?! Already?"
"Like I said, fighting only me will leave you ill prepared against other types of opponents! In this phase, you'll be putting yourself against different sorts!"
Izuku doesn't have much of a choice than to obey Gran Torino's arrangements.
"The population's going down around here, so the crime rate is low. The reason why many Hero agencies are within big city's because they have plenty of villains to deal with. The denser the population, the higher the crime rate. So in a place like shibuya, minor crimes are just common." was Gran Torino's reason by choosing Shibuya.
Izuku and Gran Torino arrived at shibuya late at night. They both immediately patrolled around the area, searching for possible crimes.
Just an hour later, while patrolling, Izuku and Gran Torino heard a scream.
They entered a nearby alley where they heard the scream. After arriving, both of them looked around and saw a woman being pressed down by 3 men.
Izuku, without Gran Torino's Instruction, immediately sprang into action.
'Full cowling: 10%!'
He instantly arrived before the trio and kicked the man who was touching the woman.
*Bam!* Because of their positioning, the man, who Izuku kicked, collided with another guy as both of them was blown away.
The remaining guy couldn't react in time and was chopped on the neck by Izuku, rendering him unconscious.
The two other guys got up and saw this happen, they instinctively backed away and ran.
But how could Izuku let them escape? He pounced forward. The ground beneath him cracked from the force, and he instantly arrived at the end of the alley, Cutting off the duo's escape path.
"Get out of the way!" "Let us go, or else..!" The duo's voice overlapped with each other as they tried to threaten Izuku with their knives.
Izuku didn't reply and disappeared from the duo's vision. He reappeared at their back and chopped at their neck in order to render them unconscious.
After doing that, he dragged both of them towards the other assailant, where Gran Torino was already waiting.
The woman, whom Izuku saved, ran towards him and thanked him while bowing profusely.
"T-there's no need to thank me, ma'am. I'm just doing my job." Izuku said. He already embarrassed talking to her. much less see her bow towards him repeatedly.
The three assailants was soon tied up. Gran Torino called the police and reported what happened.
The police soon arrived and apprehended the three assailants, the woman also came with them to file a report.
Both Izuku and Gran Torino continued their patrol. And after going back to Gran Torino's home early in the morning, they caught a total of 7 people.
Three came from the people who were trying to rape a woman. Two were caught breaking inside a closed store. And another two for snatching.
Both of them rested until noon and Gran Torino continued training Izuku after that.
Afternoon came once again, Gran Torino, together with Izuku, was once again heading towards Shibuya to catch criminals.
But before the two of them could get out of the house, Hazuki's voice called them.
"Wait. I'll go with you today." Hazuki said, adorning his simple Hero Costume.
"Really? That's great!" Izuku enthusiastically said.
"Why the change of mind, kid? Aren't you uninterested yesterday?" Gran Torino suddenly asked. He was an intelligent old man after all, so he definitely noticed Hazuki's odd behavior.
"It's more boring to stay alone here in your house." Hazuki replied.
The three of them boarded the taxi and headed towards the station.
The sun just set and the trio was now on the bullet train heading towards Shibuya.
That was when a commotion rose up inside the train.
"Look, that building just exploded!"
"Where? Y-yeah! There's smoke coming from it!"
The train's announcement also resounded at this moment.
"Passengers please remain seated. We're making an emergency stop.."
Right after the announcement ended, the left side of the train was suddenly smashed open. And a pro-hero could be seen smashed through it.
A figure could be seen trying to enter the train through the destroyed haul.
"Nomu?!" Izuku was startled by the appearance of the Villain.
"Stay there kid!" Gran Torino said towards Izuku.
Gran Torino immediately acted and tackled the nomu down towards the buildings below.
"Izuku, you're free to act however you'd like! Just make sure to inform pro-heroes around if anything bad happens!" After saying that, Hazuki followed Gran Torino and jumped down.
Hazuki used geppo to travel through the air faster and chased after Gran Torino.
Izuku look outside from the hole in the side of the train.
'What is happening..? This is Hosu city isn't it ?!' Izuku was alarmed after he saw a building on fire from a distance.
'Iida-kun!' Izuku immediately jumped down from the train, which was emergency stopped.
'Hazuki-kun, please protect Gran Torino!'
Izuku jumped down from the Railway and landed on the nearest Tall building.
After that, he traveled down and ran towards the origin of scream's.
Izuku arrived and was instantly alarmed. 'Oh no.. What is this..?'
A fire hydrant was destroyed and Izuku heard a voice.
"Manual, put out the fire!"
"Where did Iida go in a time like this?" Manual muttered, But it was heard by Izuku.
'Iida went somewhere? At a time like this?'
'Wait... Iida-kun.. Nomu's.. Hosu city.. Hero Killer..!' Izuku was shocked as he thought about a possibility about Iida's disappearance.
Izuku immediately ran. He searched through the secluded area, away from the scenes.
A few minutes later, Izuku turned left in a dark alley, he saw Iida. Iida was laying face down with a blade aimed directly at his neck fro above.
Izuku didn't hesitate and immediately used Full cowling 15%. He leaped towards Hero Killer Stain and punched him in the face.
Stain, who couldn't guard due to the speed at which Izuku arrived, was blown a few meters away.
-----------------------------------------------
Hazuki followed Gran Torino steadily. He also made two Shadow Clones and have them follow Izuku.
In case something bad happens, the shadow clones would spring into action.
Gran Torino arrived at where he pushed the Nomu. The Nomu was already approaching a few civilians, so he kicked it to try and temporarily immobilize it by making it fall down.
The civilians ran away, but the Nomu was going after them.
"Gran Torino, get away from him!"
Hazuki also arrived at this time, he landed before the Nomu and looked at it with disgust evident in his eyes. He knew the origin of these Nomu's. They were humans experimented by All for One.
He left the one at U.S.J intact because they need that Nomu for information regarding All for One. This time these Nomu's were useless, so he wouldn't spare them and Incinerate them.
"Amaterasu!"
As soon as the Black flames appeared, intense heat was felt by the nearby people.
Even Gran Torino was no exception. 'These Black Flames are so Hot! Just by being nearby it, I can feel myself sweating intensely only to be evaporated by the same heat...'
The Nomu, who was Amaterasu's target, was slowly being eaten away by the black flames. But Hazuki stopped right after the Nomu's head has disintegrated.
"Go and evacuate now, Hurry!" Hazuki said towards the nearby civilians.
Gran Torino also approached Hazuki and asked him. "What is that? You have different abilities?"
But Hazuki couldn't answer him as a voice sounded from behind them.
"You're that kid from U.A sport festival, aren't you? Is that the reported Villain?" Endeavor asked.
"Yes, and that is the villain indeed." Hazuki said as he looked at Endeavor.
"Honored elder, I don't have an Idea who you are but, please leave this to us." Endeavor said towards Gran Torino.
"Kid, can you still fight?" Endeavor asked Hazuki.
"Of course." Hazuki replied.
"Good, then come with me. I'll take responsibility." Endeavor said. 'If this kid's capable, then I don't mind recruiting him for my agency.'
Gran Torino didn't pay much attention to Endeavor's words and followed them to the center of commotion.
Endeavor and Hazuki then ran towards the street where they saw the rising flames. Pro-heroes were teaming up against two Nomu, but they can't do anything about them.
The Nomu smashed the ground causing it destruction. Dust flew in all directions and the Pro-heroes vision was blocked.
They covered their eyes as they searched for the Nomu. Manual noticed it behind his colleague and shouted. "Run away!!"
The Nomu had it's arms pulled back preparing for a powerful punch towards the Pro-hero.
*Bang!* The Nomu released it's punch. But what it struck was a Humanoid exoskeleton.
The Pro-heroes around were relieved to see their colleague survive. But they were alarmed after seeing her savior. 'A kid? Oh no!'
"Get away from there, kid!" A pro-hero shouted.
Hazuki didn't obey and swatted the Nomu away.
The Nomu was blown away and skidded through the ground, bringing destruction everywhere.
"Miss, please get away from here. Pro-hero Endeavor is also here." Hazuki said, then pointed at the back, towards Endeavor.
The Pro-heroes around also heard what Hazuki stated. They looked around and saw Endeavor standing there with arms wrapped around each other in front of his chest.
"Kid, let me see your ability. Finish that Villain." Endeavor said.
The pro-heroes were shocked. 'Endeavor was letting that kid fight the Monster by himself?!'
"Sir, isn't this inappropriate? Based on his appearance, he should still be a student..." A pro-hero tried to persuade Endeavor.
"Don't worry about him, I will back him up If he's in any danger. Those of you who's quirk is ineffective against the villain, go towards Enkou street district 4. A villain might be there." Endeavor said.
The pro-heroes immediately moved towards the said address.
Hazuki was covered by a purple-colored Humanoid exoskeleton. It only had a single arm and its body was covered with muscles.
He arrived in front of the Nomu and grabbed him with the Susanoo's arm.
"Amaterasu!" Hazuki once again used amaterasu against the Nomu.
The Nomu's head disintegrated and its body fell.
While Hazuki was doing all these, A flying Nomu took a pro-hero and soared to the skies.
"I won't let you!" Endeavor said as he chased after the flying Nomu.
Endeavor made a fireball in his hands and threw it at the flying Nomu.
But it was too high and the fireball quite slow, the flying nomu dodged. It turned to the right carrying the pro-hero with its claws.
Hazuki, who noticed this, jumped from building to building deftly until he reached the Nomu.
Kusanagi sword was already in his hand as he sliced the Nomu's head.
Before the female pro-hero could fall, Hazuki's susanoo caught her.
"Tch, you're good kid. Come work for me after you graduate." Endeavor said after seeing Hazuki dealing with both of the Nomu.
"No thanks, Endeavor-san." Hazuki said as he placed the woman down.
"Endeavor-san, please call your sidekicks and have them evacuate this lady. I'll go to Enkou street, district 4, my friends might be there!" Hazuki said as he jumped to the top of the building and ran towards Izuku's location.
-----------------------------------------------------
After Stain was blown away, Izuku positioned himself in front of Iida and sent his location to everyone.
Stain got up unsteadily with blood at the corner of his lips, that's because the force behind Izuku's strike was too powerful.
"Mi... Midoriya..?"
"I came to save you, Iida-kun!"
"Why are you here..?"
"I heard it from the TV, most of Hero Killer's victims are found in secluded area's. So I moved away from the center of commotion and searched the alleyways near the Normal Hero Agency." Izuku explained how he found Iida.
"Can you move? Let's go to a bigger street. We need help from the pro's." He added while keeping guard against Stain.
"I.. I can't move my body. After he slashed me.. It might be his quirk.." Iida said.
"It's the same as what they predicted on TV!" Then Izuku looked towards stain and caught a glimpse of a figure, weakling leaning against a wall.
Due to the darkness Izuku didn't notice until now.
'There's also someone here! If it's only Iida-kun, then I could've carried him by my shoulders...'
"Midoriya... Don't get involved! This has nothing to do with you!" Iida said.
"What are you saying..?"
"Your friend came to save you, isn't that great?"
"But I have a duty to kill him. If we clashed, of course, the weaker will be culled. Now what will you do?" Stain said coldly.
Izuku was intimidated by Stain's words. He also looked towards Stain's eyes, 'He had the eyes of a killer.' Izuku was enveloped by fear even more.
But he steeled himself, if he gave in then all of them would die. He hoped Hazuki would come soon, he was the nearest after all.
"I'll try to drive the Hero killer away if I can." Izuku informed Iida.
"Stop it! Run away! I already told you, didn't I? This has nothing to do with you!" Iida shouted, he was thinking. 'If Midoriya-kun died because of me..!'
"If you say it like that, then heroes can't do anything! Th..there are a lot of things I want to say. But I'll say it later."
Izuku assumed a fighting stance and looked ahead while saying. "It's like All might said: Meddling when you don't need to is the essence of being a hero!"
Then he charged at Stain.
Stain, who saw this, also charged at Izuku and swiped his blade. When suddenly, Izuku appeared in front of him and punched him in the gut.
"Gaha!" Stain's gut was unguarded, and due to that, nothing absorbed the force behind Izuku's punch. He experienced excruciating pain and was blown away.
Izuku, who saw Hero Killer get blown away, appeared beside the pro-hero, Native, and carried him as they approached Iida.
He tried to carry both of them but was Interrupted by Iida's voice.
"Midoriya-kun.... Stain is approaching..! Run away!" he said.
Izuku turned around to see Stain leaping towards him.
Stain was now holding a blade and knife in each hand. He jumped then slashed towards Izuku in a downward motion.
Izuku sidestepped, he avoided Stain's strike and wanted to counter-attack.
That was when he noticed Stain's left hand, with the knife, also slashing towards his shoulder.
Izuku retreated to avoid getting injured, and also to avoid getting immobilized by Stain's quirk.
Stain kept chasing and slashing towards Izuku, trying to at least draw blood from him to Immobilize Izuku.
But Izuku moved agilely and dodged Stain's slashes. That's when a flying knife was suddenly ejected from Stain Wrist guard, it grazed Izuku's face.
Izuku, who felt stinging pain from his cheeks, was distracted. That was when Stain grabbed Izuku's collar and pulled him closer. Stain licked the wound on Izuku's face.
Suddenly, Izuku felt numb. He was paralyzed and couldn't move his limbs.
"After blowing me away, you immediately tried to retreat while carrying those two. And while fighting me, you were trying to lead me away from them. People like you are rare, you are worth letting live. You are different from these guys." Stain said as he walked towards Iida.
"N-no..!" Even speaking was difficult for Izuku, who was immobilized.
Stain arrived in front of Iida and aimed the Blade on Iida's neck. It would pierce Iida's neck once it fell.
"Stop it!" Izuku shouted as he saw Stain aiming his blade at Iida's neck.
Stain suddenly jumped as a flame pillar suddenly attacked him.
"One after another. There are a lot of people getting in my way today."
"Midoriya, you need to give more detail in times like this. You made me late." Todoroki said.
"T-todoroki-kun, you too?" Iida said through gritted teeth.
"Why are you here..?" Izuku said. What he expected to come the fastest was Hazuki, they are in the same city after all.
But Todoroki was the first one to arrive, that's why he was confused.
"Why? That's my line. You just sent me your location, so It took me a few seconds to figure out what you meant. You are not one to send that for no reason."
"Don't worry the pro's are already on the way." Todoroki said as he engaged Stain in a fight.
He also used his right side to make an elevating Ice wall under Izuku and the other's, making them slide over behind him.
"I won't let you kill these people, Hero killer!" Todoroki said.
Izuku warned Todoroki about Stain's quirk. He must avoid getting slashed by Stain at all costs.
Todoroki was distracted. Suddenly a knife flew over and grazed his face.
Todoroki barely dodged by tilting his head sideways, but that also created an opening for Stain.
Stain arrived in front of Todoroki and sliced with his knife.
"You have great friends, Ingenium!"
What his knife struck was Todoroki's Ice wall.
Stain suddenly looked up, and Todoroki instinctively also looked up.
The Hero killer's blade was rotating mid-air.
Todoroki was pulled by Stain from the collar and tried to lick his facial wound.
Todoroki's left side suddenly flared, and Stain retreated to avoid getting struck.
'That was close..!'
Todoroki and Stain were still fighting when suddenly, Izuku realized he can already move.
'Huh?'
"To obstruct your field of vision against an opponent faster than you, what a foolish plan." Stain said as he slashed the Ice wall made by Todoroki.
Stain threw two knives, and it embedded itself on Todoroki's left arm. After hitting Todoroki, Stain jumped and slashed downwards to the pro-hero, Native.
Izuku jumped and kicked Stain on the face, blowing him away.
"I don't know what happened, but I can move properly now!"
"You've already bled too much Todoroki-kun! I'll distract him, so you support me from behind!" Izuku said.
Stain already got up the moment Izuku ended his sentence.
"That's a pretty big risk but, okay. The two of us will protect them!" Todoroki answered.
'So it's two against one, huh? It won't be easy. That powerful kid is already troublesome, and with that fire-kid backing him would be even ...!' Stain thought.
While Izuku and Todoroki was fighting Stain. Iida was crying as he was staring at the both of them, risking their lives just to save him.
'What kind of hero am I? Protected by my friends. Having them bleed for me. Hero Killer: Stain, in order to teach him a lesson I used my brother's name. I only saw what was in front of me.. I couldn't see anything except myself!'
'It's just as you say Hero Killer. I am different from them. I'm immature. I can't hold a candle to them. If I don't stand right now.. I'll never ever be able.. to catch up to them and Brother!'
Izuku jumped around Stain, imitating how Gran Torino confused him with speed.
He stepped on the wall and jumped towards Stain from behind.
Stain noticed Izuku's presence behind him and looked back.
'Now!' Izuku thought as he used Geppo then Soru.
He disappeared from Stain's vision and appeared in from of him.
Izuku raised the upper limit of his Full cowling on his arm to 20% and gave Stain an Upper-cut.
*Bang!* Stain's body flew up and Iida suddenly appeared above Stain. Iida's engine was glowing blue, indicating he's using ReciproBurst.
Iida delivered a powerful kick downwards, embedding Stain's figure on the ground.
After using geppo and soru simultaneously, Izuku's body was already aching. His leg was unsteady and trembling while his arm was slightly painful due to releasing 20% of his power.
Todoroki came towards Izuku and supported him up. He has already checked upon Stain's physical state. The man has already fainted.
"Are you okay, Iida-kun?" Izuku asked after seeing Iida standing not far away from Stain's figure.
"Todoroki-kun, Midoriya-kun, I'm very sorry! You were injured because of me, I'm truly sorry! I couldn't... see anything.. through my anger..." Iida was crying while he was saying this.
"I'm sorry too. Even though you were feeling so cornered, I didn't notice at all. Even though were friends..." Izuku replied after seeing Iida, crying because of remorse.
"Pull yourself together, Iida. Next time, you should at least say something if you're feeling troubled." Todoroki said with a straight face. Even though he was worried about Iida, he couldn't just express it so easily.
*Bang!* The ground near them cracked and someone was standing there.
It was Hazuki.
"Why did you only arrive now, Hazuki-kun?! I was expecting you to help me first!" Izuku complained.
"Haha, don't be mad Izuku. I've been watching you since you arrived here." Hazuki said.
"What?! You've been here the whole time and you didn't help me at all?! Why would you even do that?!" Izuku was shocked. 'We've been fighting for our lives and you're only watching us?!'
"Of course, I would interfere If you all are really in danger. I wanted you all to experience fighting against a villain. You would improve more in the face of danger, that's why I didn't interfere." Hazuki explained.
"Even so.. Watching us fight against a villain that could possibly kill us.. was just cold." Izuku complained.
"Huh, calm down Izuku. Think carefully about what you received here." Hazuki vaguely said.
"Huh? We learned how.. to deal with a villain?" Izuku dumbly said.
Hazuki laughed and said. "Even though your answer's right. That's just a part of it."
Izuku who heard Hazuki's words, started to think about it more thoroughly.
Hazuki stopped laughing and coughed lightly.
"Firstly, you learnt how to combat a villain. Second, you learnt how to cooperate with each other, which eventually built trust between you three. And lastly, you learnt how to rely on each other. People can't just live by themselves. They need companions that they can rely on in times of need." Hazuki explained.
"Isn't that right, Iida-kun? Your friends will always be there even without you asking for it, so you should trust them and rely on them sometimes." Hazuki said towards Iida then patted his shoulder.
"Yeah! I'm sorry too, Hazuki-kun. Because of my anger, I couldn't see anything other than vengeance." Iida bowed towards Hazuki.
After that, they tied up Stain and dragged him outside of the alley. They waited for the Pro-heroes to arrive and help them deal with Stain.
Gran Torino suddenly appeared, shocking Izuku. "G-gran Torino? W-why are you here..?"
"I told you to stay seated in the train, didn't I?!" Gran Torino said as he kicked Izuku's face.
"And you too Hazuki! After dealing with those Nomu's, you suddenly disappeared. Why didn't you let me know you're going after this brat?" Gran Torino scolded Hazuki's actions.
"It's a secret." Hazuki said mysteriously.
"Secret my ass!" Gran Torino was angered by Hazuki's nonchalant attitude. 'Toshinori's successor might be in danger, and you didn't even let me know?!'
"Who's that?" Todoroki asked.
"The hero I'm interning with, Gran Torino. But why?"
"Of course I've been searching for you! When I came back to the train, they said you ran away." Gran Torino said.
"Still, I'm glad that you're okay. And Hazuki you're sleeping outside of the house for the rest of the week!"
The police and Pro-heroes soon arrived and apprehended Stain.
Iida, Todoroki and Izuku were sent to the hospital to receive treatment.
