Chereads / Surgeon in My Hero Academia / Chapter 24 - Late as always

Chapter 24 - Late as always

Lasagna made me notice, in the previous chapter, that shouting the name of your attack is not smart. But in fact, I wrote their attacks more to make it stylish, but if it bothers you, I'll change that: "[...]" to that: '[...]'.

"This one is out, two more to go!" Katsu said, turning toward the now enraged man.

"Son of a bit-" Before the man could finish his insult, a loud voice echoed across the whole building.

The man everyone thought was trapped, screamed, his head out of the jelly. "Thunder Strike!"

After his voice was heard, a loud noise was heard coming from the ceiling, a few seconds later, white lighting fell where he was standing, the jelly which was trapping until then, got disintegrated on the spot. Although Genta was able to protect himself from lightning, he was still affected by a little electricity having spread through the ground, leaving him in a state of temporary paralysis.

"You little shits, you had fun playing with me huh?!" The man said, surrounded by lightning bolts, his grip tightening around his sword.

"I will kill you all now!" He yelled once again, raising his hand gripping his sword, thunder visibly pouring from his hand toward it. The sword was heating at a frightening speed, lightning bolts jolting from it.

"Gungnir!" He yelled, his sword used as a spear, flew towards Suzuki at a speed almost impossible for the human eye to follow.

Suzuki's face was still stoic, not an inch of fear in his expression, he couldn't see the flying sword-spear, but he could react to it.

'[Shambles]' he thought, a smile, slowly taking place on his face.

The sword which was threatening his life suddenly got replaced by a candy, which was previously thrown by Suzuki toward the thunder-man. In an instant, the sword dug a hole in the heart of the man, finishing his course embedded in the ground. The future-dead man was standing still, not realizing what happened in an instant.

"H-h-how?" He asked, his figure falling, his eyes still directed toward Suzuki.

"This information is useless for a corpse." Suzuki said, putting the deadly lollipop in his mouth.

In a muffled sound, the man's body collapsed on the ground, dead, pierced by his own attack.

"Genta, go see if the other guy who was hit by Katsu is still alive." Suzuki said, turning toward the guy who was attacking Katsu not caring about the injuries he receives, blinded by his rage. "I will go help Katsu."

"Okay." Genta said before running toward the hole that the man's body created.

Putting his hand on the hilt of the sword still immersed on the ground, Suzuki removed it, being careful not to damage it furthermore. The point of the sword was visibly bent, probably due to the heat exerted as well as the speed at which it flew, but it was still a blade very sharp, which means that Suzuki could still use it.

"Katsu, immobilize him!" Suzuki yelled, dashing toward where the two were fighting.

Katsu, who's upper body clothes were damaged to the point where he could be considered as shirtless, immediately switch from his defensive stance to a more aggressive one, locking the still unknown man's arms, behind his body.

"Gottcha!" Katsu said, his grin enlarging seeing that the guy was struggling to move.

"Aaargh! Chain's Armor!" He yelled, seeing the approaching figure of Suzuki. Chains materialized on his body, totally protecting his whole body. He surely was thinking that he was going to cut him with the sword, he was true, the only problem was that Suzuki's strikes didn't care about the defense of the target.

'[Amputate]'

In a swift move, all four limbs of the man were detached from his body, without any blood flowing from the severed places.

"What?! My defense is supposed to be unbreachable!" He said, incredulous seeing all his limbs on the ground.

"In front of me, toughness is meaningless." Suzuki said, looking at the dismembered man on the ground, his limbs still moving.

'Shit we got annihilated, they tricked us! They are way too strong!' He thought, realizing that they completely lost to them, one of them was dead, the other's situation was unknown and he was scattered on the ground, literally.

"He is still alive, but he seems to have lost consciousness." Genta's voice was heard, followed by him on his shoulder a guy who seems at the door of death.

"Poor man, you didn't hold back, Katsu." Suzuki said, inspecting the state of the man.

"Not my fault, I never thought he was so weak."

"Well, if he is still alive he still has his use. Let's go, we spent enough time here." Suzuki said, turning toward the exit.

"How are we going to pick this guy's body?" Katsu asked, looking at the man's detached limbs on the ground.

"Don't worry, we will take care of this mess." A voice was heard at the entrance.

The three young men's eyes fell upon a man, with two men heavily armed, followed by four other people which were equipped with stretched and body bags.

The man who spoke had reptilian eyes and a smile on his face. He was neatly dressed and walked toward their direction.

"You did a good job here, as expected from Jotaro's students."

"Mister Hiroo, your unit is still as fast that the first time we saw you."

"Hehe, indeed Suzuki. My information network is developed when I heard that you guys were about to be attacked by this group of assassins, I immediately came to help you deal with the mess you were about to create." Hiroo said, his hands showing where they fought.

"Well, they tried to kill us, it is only normal that they got crushed by us." Katsu replied, a proud expression on his face.

"These guys are probably affiliated with the 'Jaegers', the fact that you arrested two of them is really good, we can gain a lot of information." He said, looking at his subordinates taking what was left of the 'dangerous team'.

"If there is nothing left for us to do, we will go back. It was a tiring day." Genta said, a yawn escaping from his mouth.

"Yes sure, you can use one of the helicopters, it will be faster than your car after all." Hiroo said toward the departing men.

"Mh!" A man with burning hair and beard was standing in front of the policemen, looking at the three men exiting the mansion.

At his side, a policeman was shaking behind Endeavor, seeing his frown.

"So-sorry Endeavor, w-we didn't know about the government being involved, otherwise we wouldn't have called you for no-nothing." He said, heavily being intimated by him.

"..." he didn't reply anything but kept his glare at the three men.

"Hey, guys! Look that Endeavor the number two hero of Japan!" Katsu said at his two friends, pointing his finger at the hero's figure.

"Oh! that's right! Did he come to arrest the guys who attacked us?" Genta asked, looking at Endeavor at his turn.

"Whatever the reason is, he was late, like every hero. Let's go back quickly, I want to sleep." Suzuki said, not sparing a glance at Endeavor, who heard everything he said and was quite furious.

In the helicopter, Suzuki looked at the leaving Endeavor, a frown on his handsome face.

'Endeavor... the rumor I heard about him and his family are... not really pleasant.'

-*-*-*-*-*-*-

Unknowingly to our trio, a man was looking at them during the whole fight, covered in a swirling black mist. The same man disappeared in the mist once the fight was over, whispering something.

"Master was right, the 'Zenith' is dangerous.'
