Chereads / Reincarnated in my Hero Academia / Chapter 4 - Do you know today’s date?

Chapter 4 - Do you know today’s date?

Now that it was time to start. Kei quickly started to make his move.

The reason it had taken Kei so long to make his true escape, was because of his parents underlings. His parents had far too many people under them and it had taken Kei a long time to figure out each and everyone of their quirks.

The thing that had worried Kei the most at that time was the thought of several of his parents underlings having a tracking quirk. After all, if even one of them had such a quirk then he could just forget about trying to run away.

Luckily for Kei none of them had such a quirk. The next problem Kei thought of was how good their tracking skills were. Even if they didn't have a quirk user that could track him, if there were some that had trained themselves to hunt prey it would drastically lower the chances of his escape plan.

know thy enemy, know thy self. This was the reason Kei had waited to make his real move. If he was ignorant of what his enemies were capable of then his chance of success would be low to say the least.

'Good thing none of them are good enough to call themselves skilled' thought Kei before continuing his thoughts 'If one of them did have such great tracking skills, how far could I get before I was found' thought Kei

Kei already had an idea about that and the answer was something he didn't like.

'As long as I don't make a mistake getting out of this factory. Everything else after that will be much easier' thought Kei

If Kei made a mistake such as making too much noise and or running into someone the odds of him escaping was as good as over. Yes, done before he even finished the first phase of this three step plan would be a punch in the gut to Kei. This was why Kei kept awareness of his surroundings, making sure he didn't crash into the things he hid behind or make sure no one was looking in his direction when moving from spot to spot.

The entire process from the office he called a room to the exit, had taken Kei seven whole minutes. Although much of that time was because Kei was keeping a close eye on his surroundings, the main reason he took so long was that he had to make a detour to get something from a certain room. Once Kei had gotten that certain something, making way to the exit was the next thing to do.

Once Kei reached the exit he was looking for, he sneaked a peak to make sure no one was outside. Once he saw that it was clear to go. He made his way out like a bat out of hell.

Once outside Kei saw multiple factories all around him. This was something he already knew from all those fake attempts. The first thing he realized when he saw that there were so many abandoned factories around him, was that each and every one was modeled the same way as the one he had been living in.

Keis next course of action was to go through these factories so that he would not be spotted outside so easily.

'I just need to go through these factories as fast and far as I can' thought Kei to himself before continuing 'I only have five minutes to make as much distance from them as I can'

Five minutes, that was the amount of time he had given himself. After those five minutes were up, he would then move on to phase two of his plan.

As the thought of reaching phase two swirled in keis mind he couldn't help but grip the item he had taken a detour to get.

'If I am right, then this is my real salvation to guarantee my escape' thought Kei as time was quickly passing by, as he continued to run through the second abandoned factory

Just as he exited that second factory building he could see a street beyond two more buildings in the distance. When Kei saw that he couldn't help but be happy.

"Shit, where did that brat go"

In his moment of bliss, a couple of voices could be heard far in the distance behind him.

'Crap, it hasn't even been five minutes yet' thought Kei as he started to panick

Kei quickly found a spot to hide himself in. As he hid, he started to concentrate on the voices in the distance

"Dammit, why didn't that asshole Circuit come with us to find that kid like he usually does" spoke one of the voices

"Why bother taking him with us. He would only slow us down" said the other voice before continuing to speak "besides that brat didn't take the bosses phone with him so there is no need to worry about him calling for help"

"I guess your right" said the first voice before recalling something "but how do you know he came this way?"

"I don't, it is just a guess" said the second voice

"Hey, hey, don't just guess. What if he really went in a different direction and ends of finding someone that can help him" spoke the first voice in a panic

"Really Brute, you don't live up to your name do you" said the second voice as he continued to talk "do you really think we are the only ones looking for him. We were just the first to be ordered is all"

The first voice, Brute, couldn't help but feel embarrassed "your right, it would be weird if the bosses really just sent us two to look for him. Especially when we don't even know which way he went"

"Alright stop talking and focus on searching"spoke the second voice

When Kei who had managed to hide himself next to the third building, heard that that it was only the two of them, he couldn't help but feel relieved of the fact that circuit and hack were not there with them.

When Kei saw them head in a different direction going away from where he was he started to move again. Kei was passing by the third building he realized the five minutes were up. It was time to initiate phase two. Kei looked at the item in his hand.

'If my theory is wrong then I'm screwed' thought Kei as he looked at the phone in his hand

Yes, the phone, but not just any phone. This phone that he took did not belong to his parents, but rather one of their underlings.

The reason Kei kept taking his parents phone was simple. When he finally made his real escape and they saw he didn't take their phone. They would have no reason to send those two after him. But of course this was a gamble. If his parents still chose to send even on of them. Then all that planning was for nothing.

Now the reason he choose to take this one certain underlings phone was simple. In the time that Kei had looked around the factory he noticed that a certain underling never carried her phone with her.

When Kei realized this he would, from time to time make way to that underlings quarters and noticed in the weeks that followed that she always kept her phone in her room and never took it out with her. Kei felt it odd that someone would have a smartphone but never take it anywhere with them.

But those questions that were still swirling in his mind didn't matter right now. All he had to do was make that call right now.

Kei started to dial a number. The person he was calling was someone he knew he could trust.

As the final number was pressed and he pressed call. Kei could hear the ringing, all that was left was for that man to answer the call.

Finally a voice could be heard

[Detective Tsukauchi Naomasa speaking, to whom am I speaking to]

'It went through' thought Kei

Keis hands couldn't help but shake. How long had he dreamed that someone that could help him would answer his call.

Many emotions were running through Kei at the moment.

[Is anyone there. if this is a prank, then I'm hanging up now]

"Wait, don't hang up"

[huh?, a kid]

[listen kid, I'm very busy right now, if you have an emergency, call 110 to have police officers go to your aid]

"Listen to me, I know where Chaos Dragon and Mad Titans hide out is"

[And how would you know that?] asked Tsukauchi in a questioning tone

"Because I'm there right now" responded Kei

[what, how are you even there?]

"The reason is simple, I'm their son" said cake before continuing " now listen I don't have much time, I need you to call All Might and all Other Heroes you can trust and help me"

[Kid, why call me shouldn't you have called the hero association instead?]

"You think I haven't tried? I've called the police, Hero association, anywhere I thought could help me out of here" said Kei before continuing to explain "I can't call any of them because there are people there that are dirty and will let my parents know I called"

[kid, you are telling me that there is corruption going on in these places]

"Yes" said Kei

Kei didn't have much time for a long chat and told Tsukauchi everything from where the base was located and how many villains were there. As Kei was telling Tsukauchi the information so he could get help. Kei was almost at the last factory building before reaching the road.

It was then that he heard a voice behind him

"We finally found you, you little shit" said the voice

When Kei realized he had been found, he turned his head and saw Brute along with the other man that were searching for him.

'So it's Brute and Grudge' thought Kei

"Hey, I'm out of time to talk" said Kei to tsukauchi before continuing "please do as I told you and send help my way"

After saying those words, Kei ended the call and threw the phone toward grudge

"Thank Scorch for leaving her phone in her room" said Kei to Grudge "I wouldn't have gotten help to come if she hadn't"

"Brute, go quick and let the bosses know that the brat managed to let the heroes know where we are" said Grudge

"What about you" said asked Brute

"Me, I'm going to beat this little bastard to death" responded Grudge "now go"

Brute quickly followed Grudges order and made his back to base to warn the bosses on the arrival of the heroes

"You know if I don't kill you, your parents will" said Grudge to Kei in a sinister tone

"We both know it would only be a matter of time for them to kill me if I stayed there" responded Kei to Grudges words

"Well I don't think there is anything left to say now" said Grudge as he got in a fighting stance, now ready to attack

Kei had looked at the time on the smartphone before he put it away. When he saw the time he couldn't help but smile with joy.

The reason Kei was smiling was simple. It was because he could now initiate phase three of his plan.

"Honestly I'm glad that it's you that stayed behind" said Kei

"Oh, you think because it's me you stand a chance to escape?" Said Grudge

"Well if you had found me a bit earlier then I wouldn't think that" responded Kei

"Haha, you really know how to make a joke" said Grudge as he started walking toward Kei

"So tell me, why do you think you stand a chance now?" Asked Grudge as he was only a few feet from Kei now

Kei smiled and asked a question of his own "Do you know today's date?"

"What?" Asked Grudge in a confused voice not understanding why Kei would ask such a question

Kei responded with a large grin "it's September ninth"

As Kei said that he clenched his right hand into a fist

"MY SEVENTH BIRTHDAY"

BOOM!
