"Why are we celebrating?"

The night has arrived and I didn't understand why Fuyumi made some cakes before inviting us. Although I would understand if she did this when I wear my Hamon warrior clothes. I was just dressed normally, not like a stripper, and not to mention, I had just beaten their dad… which honestly felt good.

"Well… it's good to see him getting organized and beaten by not some villain. This at least should teach him something." Fuyumi Todoroki poured some juice in my cup.

"What kind of things." I was polite not to refuse it and asked.

"Humbleness. Karma. Not everyone can be trained by him." She leaned in my direction reached with her hand to my face and grabbed my cheeks with both hands. It felt weird honestly, but it felt like she was spoiling me. "Shoto really knows how to pick up good friends."

"Ahem." I faked a cough. Although she may treat me like a young man, her chest was in front of my face. And it was full. I wanted her to be aware of that.

"Don't be shy, here, and drink more." She took her hands back.

"Whatever." I shrugged my shoulder.

Shoto talked, "should we invite big brother to celebrate as well."

'What a weird family,' I thought.

Fuyumi smiled in my direction and said. "I know what you are thinking of."

"Really?" I raised an eyebrow. Ironically, I asked. "Do you have a Quirk that let you read minds?"

If so, then I should avoid her. I already had dark secrets on one phone, which was destroyed, so let alone the rest of my head.

Fuyumi laughed and swept a tear. She was in a good mood, obviously. "No… just some Ice-type Quirk."

"No fire?" I asked, seeing that a part of her white hair has some red hair spikes, which made me assume that she is like her brother.

"I can just keep my body warm and resist coldness." She sighed, "But I know what you have been thinking of. This family, they must be crazy to celebrate when an outsider beat their father."

"Well…" I scratched my chin as I didn't want to admit it.

Fuyumi put her hands beside her h.i.p.s, leaned back, and said. "You are right if you thought so. Father wasn't the best kind of dads you would think of.

"He was serious and pushed my brother to train so hard. He was so ambitious to become the number one hero. His ambition was more important than even his kids, who he may have seen as a bridge to achieve his dream, ignoring theirs." She was to get emotional in the last part. Now I could understand why Shoto would frown each time he looks at Enji.

Fuyumi continued "But seeing him taking some of his medicine should be a wakeup call, I hope."

"More like a pain call, I hope." Shoto interfered and shared his opinion, his voice as calm as always.

I didn't know how I should reply to that, so I just kept silent.

The door got opened all of the sudden and we turned.

Enji was standing there, some bruises were hidden, and he was glaring at our direction. Shoto glanced at him, and Fuyumi stopped smiling. "Father, you got some bruises. You should be resting or go to the hospital–"

"Shut up," he said, crossing his arms and posing. "I'm not weak to need a rest after some punches."

"Oh…" Fuyumi, although she seemed to be happy that he got beaten, was somehow concerned about his health. This girl seemed to be sweet in her actions. "But you should go to the hospital at least."

"I'm fine, I know my body better than anyone. If something like that would hurt me, I wouldn't hold back in the first place." He glared at me when he said that.

That was a lie obviously as I had felt it when a rib of his was broken. But seeing how hard he's denying it, I didn't expose his act. Maybe he wanted to go to the hospital secretly.

Enji then looked at the two of us, "if you're done eating, follow me. Tonight, there is a patrol." Then he left the room.

Shoto yawned. I excused myself and said I have to wait for some time before my costume dries since Fuyumi had washed it.

Now I think of it, wouldn't it better if I have a backup costume or something to change between? I went late than everyone else.

Once I said goodbye to the cute girl inside the house, I got out with my costume. I caught up fast to Enji's agency when I used Star Platinum to move with. And I found him waiting outside of his company, with Shoto.

They were ready and serious.

"You finally got here." Endeavour said.

"Ah."

"Let's move. The patrol of tonight starts now."

At night, it was very different from the day. Here, it's more dangerous.

Most of the villains, the smarter and the stronger ones would be active at night usually.

If a hero wanted to make a career for himself, then, night patrolling was more effective than working at day.

We were walking between the streets. Many villains made an appearance. Some tried to rob a random lady. Some girl tried to **** a man. Yep. Your gender doesn't matter, only strength. Someone tried to kill someone. Although they were rare occasions they happen, they were happening in each corner in the world.

Endeavour cracked his fists. He seemed to be in a very bad mood. When he met these villains, they got some 2nd and 3rd-degree burns. He was seriously pissed off.

Weird, I didn't know that his mood was this bad. Hadn't he laughed when I was done from beating him? I thought he was happy.

Enji glanced at me, then walked forward. "Fighting outside is different from fighting in a closed place. No holding back is necessary. The only thing to worry about are civilians… buildings could be ignored in some cases."

Shoto nodded. I put my hand inside my pockets and observed the city at night. Usually, I would be home by this time, or training in a bathtub. Having no school tomorrow would surely ruin my sleeping schedule. I guess I would sleep late tonight.

Enji suddenly stopped when his phone rang. He picked it up and answered. "Yes, what! A beast made an appearance and now is attacking. Nomu, you are saying. I'm on my way."

I raised an eyebrow when I heard that a Nomu had attacked.

If this meant one thing, it would mean that the League of Villains was here.

"Send me the location."

Enji turned off the call and looked at his phone. Then he put it back inside his costumed pocket and turned to us.

"I'll leave for now. You can tour around, mess or whatever." He cracked his fists. "I need to beat something."

Since a Nomu was here, their master should be here. And they shouldn't be able to escape this time if we crossed paths.

If I remember, I had made a hole in Kurogiri neck and body. He should be dead, so it would be easier to catch the Nomu. I didn't feel so much sorry for him. Although it surely tasted bad in the mouth to kill, I felt that it was the right thing to do.

Enji legs shone as he started to fly up using his flames. And he vanished from our sight.

"What do you want to do?"

"Nothing," I said.

But then, suddenly, I felt some eyes were on me. There was that bloodl.u.s.t behind them. I didn't know how I got that feeling, but it was my sixth sense, and I trusted it so much. Quickly, I turned my head back and stared. There were only some buildings and narrow paths in my way.

"Is there anything," Shoto asked as he turned his head back.

"Nothing at all. Let's move, somewhere."
