Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 Steel Wire Array

Wearing a hood, Midoriya Izuku's casual clothes had a hood that covered his green hair to avoid being recognized.

After saving the girl, Midoriya quickly ran away with her. Facing the enemy head-on was unwise; saving the girl and running was the best choice.

"Bang!"

A traffic light pole was thrown like a spear and landed in front of Midoriya. He turned back, sweating, and saw the werewolf still in a throwing stance. It was clearly his work!

"What... what do you want?!"

Midoriya spoke nervously, but he forced himself to face the enemy. That throw was clearly a warning!

"Prey, my prey!!"

The werewolf howled at Midoriya, looking crazed. Midoriya knew the enemy was even more dangerous!

"Go back to your mom!"

Midoriya gently told the girl as he put her down, then faced the bloodthirsty werewolf. He couldn't back down!

"At least let the child escape!"

Midoriya's only thought was to let the girl escape. If the werewolf wouldn't let its prey go, Midoriya decided to become the prey.

But that didn't mean he would give up. Prey could also be a hunter.

Midoriya's heart pounded, not from fear, but from excitement! He wanted to be a hero so badly, and that's why he worked so hard! He had never shown his skills to anyone, and reason and reality never allowed him to act impulsively, but now! 

Midoriya thought, "Just this once, let me be reckless!"

He reached out his hands, wearing black gloves he always carried for modifications and research. They proved useful at this critical moment.

Based on the "Spider Gloves" prototype, Midoriya designed and Hatsume Mei created new equipment, the "Reaper Gloves."

"Blood! Flesh!!"

At this moment, the werewolf couldn't hold back his boiling beastly nature and lunged at Midoriya Izuku. He just wanted to tear the person in front of him into pieces and enjoy it!

"Here it comes!!"

Staring intently at the werewolf's movements, Midoriya Izuku was scared but not panicked. A steel wire shot out from the glove on his right hand, wrapping around a streetlight. The strong retraction pulled him away from his original spot.

The werewolf, missing his target, wouldn't let his prey escape and crazily charged straight at Midoriya Izuku!

Watching the werewolf's actions, Midoriya Izuku's brain worked quickly. His left hand aimed at another streetlight across the road, and another steel wire shot out, pulling him away again.

As Midoriya escaped, he left a steel wire wrapped around the original streetlight with his right hand. When he reached another streetlight, he immediately cut the steel wire from his right hand and wrapped it around the new pole.

When the werewolf chased after Midoriya Izuku, his leg got caught in the steel wire, causing him to fall hard to the ground.

But the werewolf quickly got up, grabbed the steel wire, and pulled up two streetlights from the ground. He angrily threw the wire and the streetlights aside, smashing a car in the process.

The steel wire of the "Reaper Gloves" was made of special material. A thin wire could even pull a car. For strength and toughness, Midoriya gave up the stickiness of spider silk. As Hatsume Mei said, she couldn't make something as sticky, strong, and tough as Spider-Man's web.

Abandoning flashy functions, Midoriya chose more practical effects and trained accordingly.

Now, hiding far away, Midoriya Izuku quickly planned how to deal with the werewolf in front of him.

"Big body, great strength, unclear mind..."

While Midoriya was planning, the werewolf saw the prey that had tripped him and immediately charged at Midoriya again!

Without a word, Midoriya escaped again. Skillfully using the "Reaper Gloves," he led the werewolf around like walking a dog.

In the street, with the steel wire pulling him, Midoriya Izuku had excellent mobility. The werewolf was always a bit behind and couldn't catch Midoriya Izuku.

The endless chase without catching his prey seemed to annoy the werewolf.

He stopped, grabbed a car parked by the roadside with his claws, and threw it directly at Midoriya Izuku!

"Bloody mess!!"

The werewolf didn't care about anything else. He just wanted to see his prey's blood and flesh. The car flew straight at Midoriya Izuku. If it hit him, he would be seriously injured if not dead!

Things didn't go as expected!

The car, thrown by the werewolf, stopped in front of Midoriya Izuku. After moving forward a bit, it seemed to be stopped by an invisible force. Then the whole car was bounced back by the invisible force, hitting the werewolf and knocking him over.

"Finally set it up!!" Midoriya said excitedly. The move he had trained so hard for was finally used in real action for the first time!

In front of Midoriya Izuku, a fine steel wire formed a net. It was this wire net that protected him and sent the car thrown by the werewolf back.

While being chased by the werewolf, every time Midoriya Izuku moved, he left a steel wire at a place that could bear weight. Without retrieving them, these wires quietly stayed on the ground. With multiple points of force, they eventually formed a large net.

This fighting style could be used for both attack and defense, and the werewolf got caught in the steel wire net that Midoriya had set up!

Midoriya Izuku had spent a long time training this fighting style. Although it was a bit immature and lacking, he still gave this move a name!

"Steel Wire Technique: Spider Web"

The werewolf, now trapped in the steel wire net, didn't know what was happening due to his lack of reason. He just fiercely lunged at his prey!

"First, like this!"

Facing the werewolf's attack, Midoriya Izuku didn't panic. He pressed down with his right middle finger, and a steel wire rose under the werewolf's feet, tripping him and making him fall to the ground again.

"Lose mobility!"

At the same time, Midoriya pressed down with his left thumb and ring finger, and two steel wires rose beside the werewolf, wrapping around his legs. As the werewolf tried to get up, the wires tightened, pulling his legs together.

With his legs tightly bound, the werewolf couldn't move. He snarled at Midoriya Izuku, waving his claws wildly!

"Lose attack ability!"

Midoriya pressed down with his right thumb and pinky, and the steel wires rose again, wrapping around the werewolf's claws. The more the enemy struggled, the tighter the wires became!

"Blood! Flesh!!"

The werewolf roared unwillingly. His prey was right in front of him, and he wouldn't stop. He struggled with all his might!

The steel wires cut into his flesh, and blood spurted from his arms and legs. Midoriya Izuku became nervous and panicked.

Steel wires, being so thin, were like knives to some extent. Fearing that the enemy might lose his limbs because of him, Midoriya Izuku quickly took action.

He moved his right and left hands continuously, and the pre-set wires wrapped around the werewolf from all angles!

He tied the werewolf's claws and body together, wrapped his thighs and calves again, and completely bound the enemy like a spider spinning a web.

With the web set up through Midoriya's long-term training and brain calculations, the werewolf couldn't break free. The more he struggled, the tighter the wires became. Midoriya used fire hydrants, guardrails, and other strong points as pulleys, and the werewolf was now tied up and unable to move.

Because the wires were tightly bound to his body and the points of force, the werewolf couldn't even struggle anymore! 

Wiping away non-existent sweat, Midoriya Izuku finally stopped. 

The "Death Gloves" cut the wires, and he tied the strings to the roadside railings. That should do it.

"But... did I succeed!?"

Izuku stood there in a daze. He looked at the werewolf, now tightly bound, and couldn't believe that he had really subdued this monster-like enemy.

Seeing that the werewolf couldn't move at all, the passersby cheered and clapped. Midoriya Izuku snapped out of it and quickly turned to leave.

Run quickly! With his hood on, Midoriya Izuku escaped the scene in a few steps. He couldn't be seen or recorded. If his mom, Midoriya Inko, found out he did something so dangerous, she would cry her heart out!
