What a pain. Not only there is a Nomu outside there, can be harvested, but I felt some bloodl.u.s.t directed at me.

When I had turned my head, there was nothing back. After frowning, I walked randomly with Shoto, while thinking about what's going on.

Whatever. The news about the Nomu sounded a bit good?

I was stronger than the last time and should deal with the Nomu easily.

But unfortunately, Endeavour was called to take care of the Nomu.

Although I could drain the Nomu publicly, I can't face the outcomes if I showed such dangerous technique like taking life force.

Even if people were convinced that I am a hero, the press would do their job and show how possibly dangerous I am to humans. I have enough concern to deal with in my life already. concerns like, Mt Lady, who would call later. And Itsuka, who's doing modelling and marketing by now, I think.

Anyway, back to the topic. When I think about it, a Nomu here means that his master should be. Tomura Shigaraki, or whosever behind him.

He surely became a pain in the ass when the Festivals happened.

Maybe that's the source of that bloodl.u.s.t I had felt. It should be, as only the league of villains sees me as an enemy.

I will maybe pay him a visit in that case.

"Lee…"

As I was walking with Shoto, he suddenly stopped and called.

"Yes." I was pulled from the trails of my thoughts and answered.

"You look serious all of the sudden." Shoto half-closed his eyes. "Is it the Nomu?"

Well, he may think that it is the reason, as I have a past with four of them. And he was right, partially.

"No, not all." I inhaled slightly and said. "We should be fine for now. What would you do until Endeavour comes back?"

"I want to eat some ice-cream."

"I'll make some coffee." I was still frowning, my eyes on the side, as I said that.

That tickling feeling like someone is tracking me was hitting me again. I believe in my sense and smirked. If Shigaraki or his subordinate is watching me, shouldn't he have another Nomu in his arsenal?

It would be a good chance if I confronted whosever following behind my back. It would save me from future troubles if I could beat them now.

I pretended that I didn't feel anything and walked on my way.

We were now standing in front of a shop. Shoto was licking his ice-cream while I had a cup of hot coffee.

"Shoto, call me when your old man is done from his job." I gave him my back and started walking.

"Where are you going?" He put a hand on my arm and asked.

I understand, he may feel lonely or whatever.

But I'm going to deal with pro villains.

It would be better if I don't drag him.

I reached my pocket and brought my phone. "I'm going to call my girlfriend. Do you want to come? You may learn how to talk to girls." I was sarcastic in the last part.

Shoto retrieved his hand, frowned and said, "Don't take a long time."

I shook my hand and walked between the high buildings of this city.

Although it was night, the sheer number of the lights had annihilated the darkness. But there is one place, where the light couldn't reach, there was the unknown, where people usually don't look.

I picked up my phone as I walked between the narrow paths. Between the buildings. I remembered that I have to call Kendo since this was the longest duration we hadn't met.

Anyway, I walked and was texting. Occasionally, I was having that feeling of being watched. But I ignored it and focused on texting. This should make the villain feel safe. Itsuka texted me with some happy emoji. I was smiling and walking between the dark paths.

Would it be a risky move as I was possibly walking toward an army of villains with Quirks that may even have the ability to harm me?

It would be, only if they had the time.

*Ding*

'Nice.'

I thought when Itsuka sent me a pic. Apparently, she's done working and now was resting in the house of the heroine. She and Momo were sitting together, while the later had her stripper clothes, and waving her hand – I'm the last one to judge her.

I put the phone in my pocket and walk forward.

Time to get serious. But I had a bad feeling as I felt my hand on my phone. I just prayed "Please, don't get broken this time." I remembered that something bad would happen to my phone each time I confront a villain. Experience, you can say.

Looking in front of me, there was one narrow path left leading to the source of the feeling that was directed to me. I cracked my back, stretched my muscles, adjusted my position, and went to the action centre.

I expected to meet Shigaraki or any subordinate that had been watching.

"Argh…"

"Leave me."

I heard a couple of voices. One was of a woman screaming, and another of a man groaning. I suddenly remembered what All Might told me once.

'Always hear that womanly scream 40% of times lead to pervert, 50% to villains, and 10% to nothing serious like insects.'

I quickly moved and entered between 4 buildings to end up in a tight yard. I didn't expect to see this.

There was nothing related to the League of Villains. Instead, there was a crazy-looking man.

His hair was spiky and aimed up. His red eyes, covered by a red bandana, were shining as he looked at the woman beneath him, while he was lifting his katana. His red scarf floated, as he showed his intent to kill.

The woman was blonde with brown eyes and a lean body, good shape, while the man on the side was a black-haired guy. I somehow remembered to see these two. They worked maybe as sidekicks in Enji's place, or as heroes who has a rent in that building.

The skinny man with a sword suddenly stopped and clicked his tongue before turning to my direction. I felt that I heard about him somewhere. Where, where… right. There was a guy who hunts hero all of the time. They call him, the hero killer S something.

"Were you the person who was observing me earlier?"

"Tsk…" He clicked his tongue. "I was, U.A student." He admitted it.

"But I didn't expect these two would follow me." He pointed to the guy and the girl, who couldn't even move and were waiting for their death.

The woman, who was lying on the ground, pointed to me and said with a weak voice. "Run. He's strong. You're the kid who was walking with Endeavour. Call him. You can't deal with this guy. Don't let him touch you with his blades."
