Third-person perspective.
Kirin and Nora make their way to the pub. They realize they are both minors and cannot enter, but to catch this Tiwari, Kirin, and Nora need to enter this pub. Kirin checks for any disguise in the shop, and it seems that luck is on their side today. One of the items on sale just happens to be fake IDs. He buys two for 50 points each, and they are of very high quality.
After reaching the pub, they notice it is quite a normal place.
They only have to wait for about 15 more minutes, and the guy they are looking for arrives.
The man sitting at the table behind them says, 'Tiwari, you are finally here. So, let's hear it. What are you selling this time?' Tiwari replies, 'Bikes were taken from fools without proper authority, so the only ones that would look for us are the police. Do you think you're afraid of them?' and they start making the deal.
Before they can continue, Kirin knocks out the guy with one punch, the one who came to meet Tiwari. Tiwari exclaims, 'Hey, hey, what do you think you're doing? You'd better not make any trouble with me, or the Hornet gang is going to get you.' Kirin responds, 'That won't be a problem. We are looking for your gang.' Before Tiwari can even scream or shout at them, Kirin grabs him by the throat and pulls him out of the pub into an alley.
Tiwari shouts, 'You don't know who you're messing with. They will get you,' etc. Kirin slaps him, and one of his teeth falls out with blood. Nora says, 'If you don't tell us where the gang is, we are going to beat you up.' Tiwari spits on the ground and answers that he's not afraid. So, Kirin starts to beat him up. It isn't even my third hit when he starts crying and says he'll tell them everything.
They explain where the gang is located and how many members are currently there.

Even more motivation for taking down this group. Now, to decide how to take them down. Kirin asks Nora if they are supposed to investigate or take care of the problem as well. Nora explains that it depends on whether they can handle it on their own, but they still have to report to the authorities. Ami, being a three-star hero, has enough authority over all this matter. After some discussion, Nora agrees to let Kirin handle the gang alone.
The main reason I don't want them to see me fighting is quite simple. Most of them haven't seen me fight, Rain and Kuora aside, and even they didn't see me going full power. I am trying to maintain an air of mystery around me and slowly increase my power to make good impressions. Like in Shonen Mangas, they give a proper explanation for the protagonist's power-up.
I think until I reach my transcendent or maybe high mortal, I'll hide my strength. All the six women I know about; three of them definitely like strong men, so that is one of my reasons as well.
Now I take a back alley and navigate to the warehouse where the gang would be located with all their members.
As I reach the warehouse, I notice it's one of those cliché warehouses from movies and shows where gangs gather, while a protagonist comes and picks something like that. Why has no one checked this place yet? At this point, it's like hiding in plain sight.
Third-person perspective:
It's an abandoned warehouse, about 15 meters tall with a giant rusted gate. It's open, and there's a drum set on fire surrounded by the Hornet gang, laughing and messing around. In the back of all of them sits a big fat man, and around him are three big men. They seem to be discussing heroes matching with their gangs recently.
'I swear, once we make enough money, we can get back at that woman. What does she think she's doing, messing around with our dance and beating us up just because she's a hero? It doesn't mean she can mess with me,' one of them says. 'Yes, Boss, when we have enough money, we can trade with the Four Flames,' another one adds. 'That's right, Boss, and soon we would take over this area. After that, we'll make an example out of that woman...'
Kirin's mind goes blank; it's like his instincts are screaming. He feels an uncontrollable amount of bloodlust, but he can't understand where it's coming from. All the gangsters within the vicinity of the warehouse quiet down, shivers run down their spines. It takes him almost a minute to realize that it's his own heart, for some reason. When he hears the name Four Flames, he remembers the organization responsible for the death of his parents in this world. Now, even here, he feels rage. He never had parents in his previous life, but even here, he doesn't manage to get the love of his parents, and all because of those Flames.
He's covered in a dark aura, and he dashes towards them without a second thought. He reaches the three goons by the drum, kicks the drum, and makes it fly, distracting the goons as they watch. Three fast jabs to the chin knock them down. None of them has noticed because they're still focused on the drum. He takes down another with a dropkick. There were 44 goons initially, and now, four are down in a second. It happened in seconds of silence after the drum fell, and they all rush towards him like a pack of wild animals with bats and chains in hand. The fat leader, upon his makeshift throne, was shouting to get him.
As they all run towards him, he dashes towards them, jumps, and lands in their midst, taking out multiple of them at once. With great fury, Kirin shouts and starts to punch. After a minute of struggle, most of them have fallen, but because of his blind rage, Kirin tries to defend himself because of how quietly he had arrived; most of them had not prepared weapons. Almost all of them fall with a punch. Now he had taken a lot of beatings from their bats and metal poles, but finally, after so many hits, all of them were down, except for those three big men and their fat leader. Finally, the pain catches up to him, and he gets out of the frenzy; his breathing is heavy.
'Well, well, what do we have here? A hero? But you picked the wrong fight. You are completely beaten up, and we have a surprise up our sleeves. You want to know what that is?' the fat leader says. Kirin responds, 'Don't care.' The fat leader pulls out a small cylindrical device that looks like an adrenaline pen. It's glowing orange. 'I had to pay a pretty penny for this, more than all of these bozos combined,' the fat leader says. The other three also pull out similar devices, but they're glowing less orange. They suddenly inject themselves with it. There veins bulge out, there is done red and and their body changes shape the first three the big guys they start expanding becoming more muscular this can take the tone of Grey. The leader has skin yellow, he becomes and insanely fat and humungous monstrocity of 3 m tall.
He uses of observation on them immediately.

Kirin was caught off-guard by all that information. He looks towards the four huge figures and take several steps back.
Kirin (pov).
This is going to be a tough fight without thinking this through or planning at to a lot of damage they are physically fast stronger than me and I cannot kill them. Oh God is that it I had been having a great luck and everything going my way for last couple of days. Shit I am so going to be hospitalized after this there was my plan I was going to show myself as a superpower for mystery figure and impress the girls but beaten up and bloody worrier is also like by the girls a dependable figure.
I pull out my red oni mass and where it for combat. The first three mindlessly charged towards me it is easy to dodge them because they are mindless even though being faster than me the problem was the fat one was not mindless and there is only so far skills can take you expecially since have their legotten the whole of this body.
2 minutes of struggle of barely dodging all of their combined attacks finally I see a pattern to their attacks but the clock is taking I have 27 more minutes to defeat them before the other three also retain there intelligence.
I keep on dodging and looking for weak spots that I could exploit here's what I have observed about the.
Because of their increase size they have become far more clumsy and sloppy and prone to falling. There's senses have become dull and have far bigger blind spot to exploit.
Now now I just have to keep on dodging them find there weak spots and take them out I cannot any energy and take any chances each one of them has to be taken out in a precious hit.
It just said to capture the alive.
The fat one was far much slower I was able to drag the three gray skined abomination out of the warehouse I am hands my fist with Mana and continuously punch the face of the first one at the same spot again and again cracks start to form I jump up and use the telephone pole as a platform form a muay thai elbow strike to the face knocking him out but I take massive damage to my elbow I cannot use that I'll go again. I knew that was going to happen that why use my all poems that of my fist or leg to hit.
I can use my katana and dispatch them easily but I did not have much practice with it as well as its skill I have not fully master it if I slice of there limbs how am I going to keep the my life expecially with the truck they have taken their blood flow has increase they would innovatively die if I cut off their limbs. Because of the pain I slow down a little and the fat one headquarter with the now I am surrounded by two grey opominations attacking me relentlessly and this fat monstrocity as well.
The fat leader looks irritated cause they had been fighting for six entire minutes and one of his captains had already fall and down now he she is a pile of boxes and drums on the side. He now walks up to the pile starts to lift boxes and other stuff and chucks them at me. The truly feels like a boss fight.
I am losing blood, stamina and strength even with the boost from the mask I can barely hold on but my desire to fight was growing bigger and bigger without even not sing I started to laugh. " What are you laughing about" said the fat leader.
I just laugh I started to get visions of all kinds of war and conflict and all of sudden memory of my last life the previous one. I remember fighting in a ring day after day that was my life one repeated cycle of violence I have pushed myself a hundred times over before but this was no different. My body fat like screaming it needed rest but I kept on dodging hitting them on their weak spot where they couldn't see deflecting and dodging all the barrels and boxes the fat leader was throwing. With one heavy hit to the throat and knockout my second grey one.
From constant punching on their stone hard skin my best book completely covered in blood my fingers were completely fractured.
I start laughing harder and headbutt the final grey abomination and knock it out with my forehead bleeding profusely I just grin.
It visibly unnerves the fat leader.
