Well, well, well. Who would have ever expected that Tomura would be salty enough to chase after me all way down here? I did actually. After the Sports Festival, I'd become a bit paranoid that I had been surprised that he hadn't shown up during my work as an intern.

After inquiring about information from Muscular, I had known that there is a Nomu here. They are planning to kill All Might and kidnapping me.

Tomura wasn't here with the villains. Muscular didn't know where he was since he's here just for blood and taking lives.

Muscular had redemption. This time, Instead of taking lives, he had given a one… most of it.

Reiko was insisting on coming with me, as she said that she wouldn't be safer if she ran away back to the camp, as there are villains down there.

And here we didn't start dating officially.

Somehow, the villains' attack this time felt romantic. At least, as it was still at the beginning. Now, it's time to attack back.

I went in the direction where Muscular had pointed to earlier – the Nomu's direction.

I was wondering now how many Nomu's does Tomura have. The League of Villains wasn't that big organisation, and they wouldn't be something without the Nomus which they are unleashing occasionally.

Just giving the strength of their leader, Tomura Shigaraki, I could clearly think that there is someone behind him. I had to figure out where he, Tomura, is, so I may end this for once and all.

For the last months, I had been getting stronger just for this moment.

"What are you thinking of."

"Beating someone or something."

I answered Reiko's questions, as we were walking between the trees.

After walking for a while, we stopped upon hearing the sounds of impacts. The area around was surprisingly hot. There was a faint trace of smoke. When we walked further, the girl slightly behind me, we could see some blue flames dancing in the air.

Pixie-Bob's earth golems were attacking them.

However, in the middle, a skinny guy, who had spiky black hair, a body that looked to have most of it burned, was shooting blue flames from his hand. His jaw seemed to have a burning mark, and it was attached to his jaw.

The golems didn't have a chance against him, as he could burn them easily.

Heat, I never liked that.

Anyway. There was another person. A man with opened suite, brown hair, and his eyes was covered by sunglasses. He was holding a bazooka like a weapon on his shoulder, and killing the earth beasts.

Behind them was the original target.

The Nomu.

This one looked to be wild, muscled, and in the height of a normal person. The Nomu had slightly dark purple skin. And of course. He had no skull protecting his brain.

I think the Nomus don't have skulls. There must be something about their brains. As they don't seem to be smart, given the experience I had on them from the past. Brain. Could it be their weakness?

The black-haired blue flames shooting guy put his hand down as he destroyed the last golem. He turned in our direction and raised his eyebrows, looking to be sleepy and amused.

"We have a company here, indeed. And look who."

The other man nodded. "Indeed. Isn't he, the guy who captured Stain? Bru–"

He didn't notice the rock that was as big as his head and was floating behind him.

Before he could complete his words, Reiko waved her hand down slightly, and the rock hit the man's head from the back.

*Bang*

He fell down, unconscious, with blood following from his head.

When I looked at Reiko, she didn't have a lively expression. Wow, she is a wild one despite the timid attitude of her!

"I tried my best not to hit too hard. He won't die."

"It would be a headache if you did."

I swept my forehead.

Killing villains was up to the court in this society of super Quirks.

To keep the good image of heroism, the heroes have to capture the villains.

Then, there is the judgement.

The court would either decide if they go to jail, do public service, or get executed, depending on their crime level.

"Tsk."

The dark-haired man clicked his tongue when he saw his friend on the ground. He raised his hand and aimed it at us.

"It's not moralistic to attack while others are talking."

His hands flicked with a blue flash as a blue fire flew toward us.

"It's not proper to use fire in summer. It's already hot enough." I said. Star Platinum appeared in front of us. Facing the blue flame, he sucked it with his super-breath. With the fire spreading rate, it wasn't something hard to stop.

"Tsk." The dark-haired guy clicked his tongue, looked at me, and said. "Lee. Last name, Angel."

The fire spreading rate from his hand increased.

The stand kept sucking it. It was being compressed in the stand's stomach.

I mocked, as I thought he was trying some cheap trick. "What did Shigaraki told you. Keep your eggs safe."

"How did you know he did?" The guy put his hand down.

"He didn't lie to you, though."

"I know you." The dark-haired man.

"Really, I must be famous then," I said.

"I knew you, your mother, a long time ago. Never thought I would see you, or you were even going to born."

I flinched eyelid flinched as I said. "You never came in the family reunions."

Reiko waved her hand and sent a group of rocks at him. But with his flames, he burned the objects.

"I wasn't invited." He glared directly at me, his eyes half-closed. "And besides, you're an offspring of a whore who should've just eaten after her morning pills."

I understand. This was just a battle of insults, and I should've just found a stronger comeback.

But!

Did he just insult my Julia!

My eyes were opened widely.

My chest felt so tight all of the sudden.

"Ha…Ha…"

My heart was beating faster and faster. Blood was reaching my eyes, and I was bitting so hard that my jaw was starting to hurt while glaring at the guy with red eyes.

(O)

Dabi was looking at Lee. He was thinking of the woman who he had visiting his father's company years ago.

He had discovered that she may be the reason for the bad state of his family, so he had approached that woman and told her everything as to how Enji has a family and all.

He had never expected that she was pregnant as well.

No wonder his family's life had gone shit after her being introduced.

Now, Dabi didn't think that he would see the son of the bitch here.

(O)

"YARO!" Lee screamed all of the sudden.

Reiko turned her eyes.

It's for the first time she sees such an expression on Lee's face.

Lee was the type of guys who is usually calm, sarcastic, and sometimes angry. But he barely shows those emotions on his face, and most of the times he's stoic.

But now, Lee seems to enter a berserk state.

She looked forward; the black-haired man had a smirk on his face.

"The truth hu–" The dark-haired man was about to talk. But he didn't complete his words.

In no time, literally, Lee appeared in front of the flames man, surprising him.

Reiko as well was surprised. What's with this speed? It likes, it happened in no time. She never knew that Lee was this fast!

"What's going to hurt is your face when I'm done with you."

Lee held the dark-haired man from his throat, pressing his fingers. He lifted the man from his neck.

Reiko raised her hand.

Lee isn't angry. He went berserk!

If that the case, it would be bad if he killed the guy – he seemed to be going to.

The dark-haired man still has that smirk.

Blue flames started to spread from his body, and red sparks were spreading from Lee's hands, who didn't take his hand back in face of the fire.

Reiko feared that the guy would burn Lee's hand.

"Well, how about you turn to ashes. Maybe someone would cry."

Flames were spreading from all of his body, ready to burn.

However, the sparks on Lee's hand suddenly danced around the guy's body, and flames were turned off.

"Hey, what's going on?" Dabi questioned.

"Meet your maker." Lee increased the pressure on the man's throat.

The man tried to kick and fight it.

But Lee seemed to be very strong, not to lift him with one hand, but to squeeze him as well without bothering.

"Aghhh…" the dark-haired man couldn't say a word.

The Nomu at the side was about to dash and help Dabi, but something invisible hit him flying away.

"Lee, you're going to kill him," Reiko said. She feared that Lee may enter trouble to kill without his hero license. "Be careful?"

"No, I'm not. I'm going to make him lose consciousness." Lee didn't seem to care.

"Anything else would be an accident." He said the last part as he increased the strength he pressed on his neck.

Reiko blinked. Anything else would be an accident? Or would seems to be an accident.

Dabi started to dissolve in Lee's hand, leaving only clay falling on his hand.

Lee and Reiko opened their eyes widely. A doppelganger. He wasn't a real person. Yet, he almost burned Lee with him.

Reiko sighed in relief, as Lee didn't make a law crime. Surely, Lee was so triggered when the guy insulted his mom.

"DAMN HIM!"

In anger, Lee punched a nearby tree next to him. The tree was seriously big. However, once Lee's fist landed there, the wood exploded and flew in every direction.

'Never knew he was physically strong as well.' Reiko thought as she saw how strong Lee is, which attracted her eyes to his muscles.

Lee took some deep breaths. He was trying to calm down. He then looked around. "He pissed me off!"

Yanagi went to Lee and patted his back. She said. "Lee, it's not over. Don't lose your calm."

"Yes, the original one must be around." Lee looked around, almost forgetting about the Nomu he had just knocked off.

"Lee, I know. But, shouldn't you care about the Nomu at first." Reiko Yanagi waved her hand and moved the body of the man who was lying on the ground.

Now, there is that Nomu.

"Good, I need to beat something." Lee cracked his neck.
