In a certain alleyway in city district of Naruhata,
"Hehe..."
Ichika was smiling smugly towards Aizawa Shota who was the Erasure Hero: Eraserhead.
"Hahahahaha!"
Beside Eraserhead was Ms. Joke who was laughing the whole time and she was his partner for the next patrol duty.
"Good luck, you two. Have fun! Pfffffft! Fu fu fu..."
Ichika can't stop himself from laughing and Eraserhead looks irritated.
"Falcon really knows what to do." Ms. Joke spoke then Ichika gave her a thumbs up.
"Of course, I'm such a considerate president."
"We are on hero duty, not a date." Eraserhead retorted with calm tone.
Ichika took several step back then he yelled,
"Shazam!"
Lightning descended down from the sky and hit him, turning him back to his younger form which is wearing a civilian clothes.
Eraserhead frowned when he tried to use his erasure quirk on him but it didn't have any effects and he was still able to use his ability.
"This guy's power is really strange."
"Isn't his ability the same as yours? Erasing the quirk of his opponents by touching them?"
"Yeah, but his strength is abnormal and he has other abilities. Even bullets can't penetrate his skin."
"No wonder All Might wants him to be the next Symbol of Peace."
"You should know why he refuses to take that title."
"Yeah." Ms. Joke nodded at him.
"Alright, I'll leave the rest to you guys. It's easier to find the main culprit if I disguise myself as a civilian. Bounty hunter is my former job and hunting someone is my specialty. I am Captain Falcon after all. Ha-Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
"You don't have to copy your Father's weird laugh." Eraserhead replied.
"Yeah. Be careful, Falcon." Ms. Joke waved at him.
Ichika walks out of the alleyway, leaving just the two of them.
"Why is he wearing weights? Those looks so damn heavy."
"Don't mind him. Let's start patrolling."
"Okay, Eraser."

Now, Ichika in his younger form was walking down the streets as a civilian while looking around for anyone suspicious individuals.
"Hehe... I like this form more. No one will recognize me or people flocked on me as a famous singer."
"Huh?" 2x
Ichika met with someone very familiar face.
"Ara! Isn't that you, Ichika-kun? You're all grown up!"
"Eh? Inko-san?!"
"Hehehe... I never thought we meet each other coincidentally. How's your school?"
Ichika smiled at her with his index and middle finger together.
"Hehe... the same as ever, standing alone on top of the ranks."
"Oh, you're really amazing as ever, Ichika-kun. I really hoping that my daughter and Katsuki would learn from you."
"You shouldn't compare them to me because they are different person. Everyone of us has their own skills and talent. I also have my own ups and down, you know?"
"Eh, like what?"
"Hmmm..."
Ichika can't think of anything weakness of himself but he only knows one thing.
"My luck sucks."
"You still think you're unlucky?"
"Yeah, I just stepped a on a dog excrement this morning."
"..."
Inko can't say anything because she knows that it happens often to him.
"I-I see... Nothing really changes..."
When Inko says her goodbye and left, Ichika went to a separate direction when he saw a TV showing some news channel. He halted on his step and read what the news all about.
[Breaking News: Crime Rate increases by 4% this month despite Pro Heroes effort.]
Ichika was completely shock, seeing the news and clenched his fist in frustration.
All Might is still around. Ichika himself volunteered to become a Pro Hero and help him. All the Pro Heroes are working together to defeat Villains from all parts of the country. Despite of all that, crime rate is still rising and people are suffering from it.
He just thought now that things might be better if he didn't interfere on anything. He did it to protect the future from the villains and reduce the casualties causes by them but things are getting worse. He has strength and power to defeat any villain he face but the villains are ignoring his abilities and continue doing crimes.
He knows that crime can't be ended because some person who just had a very bad day, they have the chance to turn into a villain and there's no end to it especially in the hero society. But it can't be helped already because what's done has done already and he can't change it unless he has the time stone.
The problem he has right now is the rising crime rate and how to lessen it for the public. To think this through, he used the space stone and teleported to a random place since his patrol duty is already finished. He arrived on a certain alleyway then he walks out to the streets. While in deep thought, he suddenly halted on his steps and looked up into the sky.
"Kyah!"
Someone bumped on him behind and fell down. He quickly glanced behind and it was relatively petite, fair-skinned girl with pretty face.
The girl has slightly inward-tilting bright yellow eyes with thin slits, somewhat resembling those of a cat and her shoulder-length hair which is a pale, dirty ash-blonde color and where they're fastened, a straight fringe and two chin-length side bangs to frame her face. Her outfit consists of a plain seifuku with a Kansai collar, both the skirt and the shirt dark blue with a double white trim, which is paired with a red ribbon around her collar. Her blazer was also blue but lighter.
Ichika's eyes widened in surprise when he immediately recognize her and the two of them meet each other's gaze.
"You're..."
"Huh?"
The girl's face turns red and became embarrassed. She quickly turns away.
Seeing her groceries scattered on the ground, Ichika quickly realized it and apologized to her.
"Oh, sorry about that! I was thinking too deep and I didn't realize the people around me."
"No, it's okay..."
Ichika helped her picked up the items and put it back inside the bag.
When the two of them stood up together,
"Are you okay? Are you hurt or something?"
Ichika checked her knees if she has any graze or wound. He sighed in relief when he didn't find anything.
"I guess, you're fine--Huh?"
He noticed that she's breathing heavily and her body is trembling.
"Are you really okay? Please respond--"
The girl dropped her groceries and jumped onto him, grabbing his collar then she exposed his neck. She opened her wide mouth which is also rather feline, as both her upper and lower canines are more pointed and longer than the rest of her teeth, giving her a vampiric appearance.
Ichika was aware of her condition, so he decided not to fight back and let her bite him in the neck. He felt a stinging pain and he can feel his blood being suck.
Tears fell continuously on the girl's eyes while having ecstatic smile from drinking his blood.
When the bystanders saw him bleeding on the shoulder and they're about to scream, Ichika raised his left hand, telling them that he's fine then he waited for the girl to finish. He still feels fine even his blood is being drain and it's strange to him because right now, he is in younger form. He just thought that it's one of Captain Falcon's ability and he didn't mind too much about it since there's something more important to think about.
He sighed, remembering that he still has to solve the trigger incident.
"Such misfortune..." he muttered while looking bored.
