37: Heroic Debut

Heroic Debut

You should have seen the faces of the cops when I brought them the killer, wrapped in a gift ribbon. Well, his red scarf looked like a gift ribbon, yeah. There were also ambulances with what looked like a field hospital where the slightly wounded were treated. I had to yell at Iida to stay there. The guy was just eager to fight, despite the fact that Brand cut his legs and arms, and the right grabber was not just cut, but generally shredded into meat. The doctors were shocked. The guy's injuries are really serious.

And yet, we dealt with it quickly. I was in a hurry, so maybe the doctors and the police thought I was too nervous, and they didn't hold me up too much.

And then you needed my help.

I catch Rumi on the fly. Just now, she'd kicked the mutant a little too hard, the blows raining down like a machine gun. And, all the power of these blows was absorbed by the monster, after which it returned everything back. Some kind of tricky quirk, repelling enemy attacks with the ability to accumulate a charge. But since Usagiyama was more or less intact, it doesn't seem like full damage is being returned.

"Well done, Miruko. I nodded.

"Thunder! What about the address? - The girl immediately clarified when I put her on the ground.

"It was a Hero Killer. It's already defused.

"I see. And these creatures aren't as strong as you said.

The rabbit looked away.

At the same time, a new mutant flew down another street. More precisely, half of the mutant. Black burned legs and a completely incinerated torso. Behind the firebrand, a flaming Prospector flew by like a projectile and with a powerful blow incinerated what was left of the monster. Hell, he wasn't in the mood. Yes, and with his reputation, killing a villain is not terrible at all, although, as a rule, he usually restrains himself.

By the way, there were also his assistants. Smaller-caliber heroes working for the Prospector's agency. They tried not to fight monsters anymore, but to cover ordinary people and help them evacuate from the danger zone.

"A prospector," I said, wincing in spite of myself.

"Ha, you don't seem to like him. Rumi snorted.

- There is such a thing. I nodded. – I don't think he likes me very much either."

Indeed, as soon as Angie noticed me, his face twisted. I wave at him.

With an unintelligible growl, the miner exploded in a fiery storm, charging at the mutant that Miruko had only recently fought.

"Hey, that was mine. The rabbit grumbled in displeasure. "What the hell, Prospector?"

Angie continued to fight villains and create jobs for the emergency services. Its heat melted the asphalt, and the roads fell into disrepair. The mutant covered himself with his hands and, apparently, his absorption is also not absolute. With a fierce blow, hero number two burned through both of the monster's arms and nearly incinerated the poor man's head. But even though it took damage, the monster absorbed the fire burst and returned it back to the prospector. And how he did it! It was like spitting a clot of plasma in the hero's face.

"RAAAAH! Todoroki roared.

He clearly didn't like it.

And the monster, meanwhile, almost instantly grew scorched limbs. However, they were no longer quite hands, but some kind of ugly tentacles. In addition, the monster's muscles bulged, clearly preparing to attack.

- There's nothing to do, let's do it. - I nod to the rabbit.

- It deflects blows…

"Then we need to immobilize him.

With one accord, we both rushed towards the enemy at the same time. Nomu's onslaught forced the Prospector to retreat. And Angie, by the way, was clearly on edge. He was flushed and panting. Using your own fire drains him a lot, plus spitting reflected flames in his face. It doesn't look like he's been burned too badly, but it's like he's being boiled alive right now…

"Get some rest, old man! Miruko gloated as she broke free of the monster.

And with a couple of deft punches, she knocked him to the ground. Her kicks were not so much strong as technical. Even after absorbing the damage, Nomu-chan couldn't keep his balance.

"It's me now!"

I slammed down on top of the mutant, pinning his throat with my knee. The monster immediately tried to grab me with its appendages, which served as its arms, but I intercepted them and began to twist them. Don't hit him so that he can absorb at least part of my attack, but break out his limbs. Slow, but effective. The claws of his feet clicked on my back. He's a smart bastard, but it's no use.

- Hshshaaa…

Opening its mouth, Nomu began to release a tentacle from its mouth. It grew with new appendages and increased in size. Although this is a common occurrence for me, there aren't many creatures in the world with such an extensive set of quirks. Although sometimes one quirk gives you multiple abilities at once, it doesn't seem like this is one of those cases.

"I'll drive this shit back to you!"

Releasing one of the monster's broken arms, I grabbed its "tongue".

The monster twitched harder and started to squeal, but it didn't bother me. Squeezing the dangerous appendage, I hammered it into the mutant's mouth as promised.

"Don't spread your tentacles here. Keep them to yourself!

Soon, however, our tactics worked. The monster began to choke. His attempts to escape became more desperate, but at the same time, he was losing the last of his strength. Meanwhile, a fire broke out behind me. The Prospector jumped up and attacked another Noma, the gray winged monster. It can't fly, but it can use its flames to accelerate and make quick leaps, even in the air. In general, is it correct to call them Nomu? How do they relate to the black monster that the villains used against Allmight? By the way, these three were actually weaker than that guy. And just as smart, yeah.

"Looks like he's passed out." Usagiyama said.

My opponent actually stopped moving. But he's still alive, so I stopped choking him. Great, they took one alive.

"Raah!

The prospector hit with all his might, but the flying mutant quickly gained altitude and evaded the attack. Honestly, this hot guy is starting to remind me of Bakugou.

"You're not leaving. Rumi jumped up.

Thanks to her super-strong legs, she could jump up and down in a way that the Prospector with his fiery acceleration could not have dreamed of. Catching up with the flyer, she damaged its wings with a powerful blow, and then clamped the monster's neck in a chokehold. I didn't rush to help, because the girl was doing quite well herself. After beating the monster in mid-flight, she planted her feet on it and forcefully pushed it down. The thing crashed into the road, smashing through the asphalt.

"Weakling. The Prospector muttered, firing another powerful barrage of fire at the wounded monster.

In fact, that's why we only have one prisoner left, and the other two mutants were destroyed by the Prospector. And, that's all, there were no more monsters in the area.

I looked back at my unconscious opponent and sighed sadly. Again, there is a lack of strong handcuffs or a steel rope that could bind the monster.

Usagiyama landed softly next to me. "It looks like everything.

Then the defeated monster regained consciousness. And, damn it, just as swept up! Screeching like a wounded beast, it charged at Rumi. The monster's mangled arms had grown even thicker and more tentacle-like.

The thunder wave knocked him away before Miruko could kick him.

Naturally, it absorbed some of this wave and immediately gave it back out. But, I was already in front of him and, taking the blow myself, just ignored him.

- Just finish him off already! The Prospector complained.

Even so, I still didn't consider killing acceptable. At least with my level of strength.

But it is also a little inconvenient to hold it constantly…

Screams.

There were shouts from the field headquarters where I had left Iida with the Indian. Where the Brand is still there.

"Miruko!

I slammed the Nome's face into the asphalt and quickly twisted its tentacled arms, but I didn't stop at breaking bones, I just tore off those nasty appendages. Leaving the monster in such a state in the care of my mentor, I rushed to solve old problems.

Shots rang out.

Someone from the police used a gunshot.

"Damn fakes!

It was him.

Branded, with a broken leg and bloody hands. He tore them out of their makeshift handcuffs, shredding their skin and flesh. He was clutching a knife in each hand, and it seems like he can't let go of it anymore, otherwise with the injuries to his hands, he wouldn't be able to hold anything at all. One policeman shot him in the shoulder, but the killer kept walking slowly.

He exuded something similar to my heroic aura, only the Brand's aura exuded a killing intent. But, it wasn't an aura, in the sense that I have, it was something else, like charisma. But so powerful that other police officers simply did not dare to shoot, retreating from the criminal. The Prospector's partners present couldn't bring themselves to attack the killer. And even I froze for some reason…

But, he's cool. He's free and can still do something with such wounds…

"Heroes, this word will be cleared! You're going to die! Pathetic impostors! - Sharply pulled the Brand to one of the heroes.

The guy from the Prospector's office. The sight of the Brand made him numb. The hero couldn't even back down as he stared in horror at the approaching death. And, it's a good thing that Iida has already been taken to the hospital, since he might already be dead if the Brand decided to finish off the teenager first.

My imagination conjured up an image of a Muscle tearing peaceful people apart.

I felt the same way then, only ten times weaker.

But now, it was the memory of that incident that made me jump out of my seat. The aura of heroism enveloped my body in a golden blanket, and now it was so strong that it could be seen. The numbness subsided instantly. Indeed, this thing gives strength for feats…

"Not on my fucking shift!" I snapped to keep my spirits up before facing the Brand.

He was already too badly injured, so I didn't hit him, and tried to disarm him as carefully as possible.

"Don't bother me! The assassin snarled, slashing at me with his knives.

Even the suit didn't scratch, but it did make a few bright sparks.

"Kill me or get out of the way!" He was already wheezing.

The assassin's mouth was dripping with saliva, and his eyes were dark.

"No, you're not leaving. He held out the Brand. – You're not Omnipotent, but you're not fake.

"Just give up already. I sighed. "It's over, Chizome Akagure.

His identity wasn't exactly a secret. I found the real name of the Brand long ago, when I first started looking for information about it after the festival.

And, further, I was surprised myself that my words had an effect. The assassin's gaze shifted, scanning the surroundings. Although he was a little deranged right now, he still didn't stop acting sensibly. And he knew perfectly well that as long as I was standing here in front of him, he didn't stand a chance.

"Heh-hah-hah-hah..." It seems that his sinister laughter caused the surrounding people to flinch, and someone even fell down, unable to continue standing on their feet. - Yes, congratulations to you Thunder, you won.

Spreading his arms out to the sides, he wheezed painfully and let go of the knives.

They fell, hitting the asphalt with a resounding thud.

I remember that heroism also affects charisma. Maybe that's the whole point? Or did the killer really realize that there was nothing he could do right now, so he decided to give up? Then, maybe in the future, he will still have the opportunity to escape and continue building a better world without fake heroes.

Many people present breathed a sigh of relief.

"You did the right thing. This time. I decided to say something that wasn't too quiet.

Brand said nothing.

But, on the other hand, the police came to their senses. We were quickly surrounded by at least five uniformed men. However, they did not dare to put handcuffs on what was left of the killer's hands, just grabbed him by the shoulders and led him away. But it still needs to be patched up, otherwise it will bend, if not from bleeding, then from infection.

That is all…

"You're doing great, Thunder. A rabbit came up to me.

"Thank you, Miruko. I nodded at her.

The police were right behind her, dragging the captive mutant with them. The police have the means to detain such unique individuals. The same crate that black Noma was previously shackled with during the rescue park incident. Only, unlike the other guy, this mutant didn't look like a vegetable, but kept screeching and struggling, though to no avail. Is he really different, or does he just remember his orders, because I didn't punch that one in the head.

"I see you beat the hell out of this guy." Rumi remarked as she looked at the captive assassin.

"All the shit?" I chuckled, remembering what she'd said earlier about students.

- We should have knocked everything out altogether. He deserved it.

Obviously, she is very offended with the Hero Killer for interrupting us at the most interesting point.

The girl, meanwhile, held out her fist to me, and I tapped it lightly with my fist, accepting the gesture of moral support.

"Yes... shhh... how much can I do?" Rabbit hissed, shaking her brush.

"I'm sorry.

"Shut up."

I had a feeling of deja vu.

A Prospector appeared in the distance. He walked towards the police, completely ignoring Rumi and me. The officers of the law, of course, were delighted with his appearance and immediately bombarded the peasant with questions. In fact, I was already thinking that I could relax and forget about this guy. Yeah, sure. Rumi and I went to the side, but we didn't leave, the rabbit also needs to report. Bloody bureaucracy.

And so, when Miruko went to the police after the Prospector, he turned his attention to me.

"Where are they?" "What is it?" he asked harshly as he abruptly approached me.

Does he know where Fuyumi and Shouto are staying?

"It looks like it's better, where the grass is greener and the honey is sweeter." Where we are not.

The prospector blinked in disbelief.

"Are you kidding me, boy?

A mighty hero's hand was laid on my shoulder. Seriously? He knows how strong I am, but he couldn't resist making this stupid gesture? His attempts to show strength by pressing on my collarbone were even a little pathetic. Well, if you understand the whole point of what is happening. From the outside, this is not so noticeable.

"Take your hand away, please, Prospector-san.

I didn't remove it.

I had to take his forearm and give it a little squeeze, then pull her away. The miner's whole face twisted with pain, and his fingers opened of their own accord.

"I'm asking you not to bother them, you've already crippled them enough. And, I really don't know where they live now. But even if I did, I wouldn't tell you.

Maybe not physically, but I meant psychological trauma.

"What do you know?

"That's enough. And maybe your kids are afraid of you, but I'm not. If you don't stop, I'll just tell everyone about your crimes. The public will not like the fact that the eternal second number mocks his children, subjecting them to torture. The police, too…

"You're not going to get away with this." The man almost growled.

Honestly, I was running out of patience. I just want to punch him in the face, but with a quarter of my strength! True, it would be fatal, but how angry he makes me.

"Get lost, or I give you my word, I'll destroy you." I hissed, barely able to contain myself.

I think I'll have steam coming out of my ears in a little more time. It's easier for a prospector, his facial hair is already on fire, so when steam comes out of his ears, it's not even noticeable, almost.

Alas, but this guy is not the one who can be scared off by such phrases. He only bulged his eyes more, turning even redder. Something bad might have happened if Miruko hadn't come between us.

"All right, calm down, both of you!

With a roar, the Prospector spun around, sending out a jet of powerful flame, cutting a whole trench in the asphalt. It even seemed to help him blow off some steam. He was clearly in no hurry to continue the conversation in the presence of the big-eared heroine.0

"Thunder, you calm down too. The rabbit frowned as she looked at me.

"Yeah, I'm sorry, but that asshole…

"Izuku."

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

"That's all, I'm calm.

The heroine bit her lip.

"Is that true?"

- what?

"What you just said. Does a prospector do something to his children? "No wonder she heard it, with her ears like that.

"Look, Rumi, you don't want to get involved in this.

"If this is true, it should be reported.

"Rumi, if he doesn't calm down, I promise I'll deal with him, but don't make a big fuss, it'll hit the kids too…

Yes, Shouto definitely doesn't need passers-by to stare at him and express their sympathy. He needs to earn a reputation as a hero, and not become an unfortunate victim in the eyes of the public. Moreover, it is not a fact that people will take the side of children. The media can twist this story in any way.

"Okay..." the rabbit conceded. "But what an asshole he is!

- Rumi…

We exchanged glances and grinned in unison.

"I've dealt with the police, you were acting with my permission, everything is official.

"Very well. Now to the office?

"No," the rabbit said, shaking her head. – I still have a report to write, so you can go home for now."

So, no fucking tonight…

Of course, I could have insisted, because she likes it, but I don't want to get in between Rumi and her work.

"Tomorrow morning?"

"No, come straight to the night shift. The rabbit smiled a little slyly. – You need some time to rest."

Not that it would be, but you need to pay attention to your mother, too. So, I did not refuse.

"Okay, but I still need to pick up my clothes.

"Hmm?"

Rumi arched an eyebrow and thought a little, but after a few seconds, she jumped up behind me and hugged me tightly.

- Let's go!

Mentally rolling my eyes, I jumped up.

I'm not a riding animal! But, how nice it is when such a cool female body is pressed up against you, these elastic breasts, her cool legs…

By the way, there were journalists at the field headquarters. They didn't have time to film our departure, but my encounter with the Brand will probably soon be made public. It looks like I'll soon be even more popular than before. Before that, recordings of my "exploits" made by random passers-by appeared only in the fan group. Well, almost, a couple of cases, after all, leaked on television. But now it was, like, my debut as an official hero, even if still as an intern, under the supervision of a pro.

Anyway…

It's too early to relax.

Although we caught the Brand, other villains were clearly involved in the situation.

Human facepalm with its teleporter.

Where do they get these monsters from?

I really don't like this…
