Chapter 156 - CH 125: BACKSTORY THAT EVERYONE KNOWS (1/2)

[Now, we will take a break for lunch, before we start the afternoon FESTIVITIES!!!!]

After Present mic's announcement, the recess sounded, people began to slowly stream out of the stadium and began to walk toward the different stands outside.

The sports festival was truly a festival in all the senses of the word. As such, a jovial atmosphere filled the road as people walked and laughed together.

Though, this atmosphere wasn't present everywhere. A little farther than most, three people huddled with a serious expression on their faces. They were two young men and one young woman.

One of the men, wearing a white blouse and having a rather tired expression on his face yawned as he said,

”Oh sister of mine, the answer won't change no matter how many times you ask. I am sure of it. My eyes would never deceive me.”

The sister in question, a crimson-haired girl, groaned a little as she pinched her brows,

”We searched for him high and low, but to think that he would be walking so openly.”

”Hahaha, we shouldn't have been surprised. All those years ago before we designed the armor, we already knew that he was either super short or super young. Now I guess we have the answer.” laughed a blonde young man with spiky hair.

If Kuroha was here, he would have immediately recognized the three. After all, they were Asa, Hina, and her brother Mujitsu. The three bounty hunters.

Today was supposed to be a relaxing day for them. Go watch some wimpy kids fight, eat a little, look at the popular heroes up close, and then go back home. This totally changed after seeing the teleportation and blood quirk.

No quirk was truly unique. There were also many quirks that looked the same even if the effects were slightly different. The same applied to blood and teleportation type quirk. But, the two together? They only knew one. Junketsu, now more known as the Crimson Devil.

Mujitsu sighed a little, he never thought that he would discover Junketsu, no, Hayate Kuroha's identity so easily. He turned and faced his sister with a smile as he said

”What do we do? The bounty on him *Ouf*”

His sister interrupted him with a punch in the gut.

”Don't even joke about that. No way we are gonna sell him out. I approve of everything he did that day. Those bastards should have died even more painfully.”

As she said that, a fierce light burned in her eyes. She really hated criminals.

”Still, the guild leader asked for us to find him.”

Asa expressed his concern. The bounty hunters were a system created by a large organization in America. Each branch was called a guild and was under the supervision of a guild leader or guild master. The guild leader of Japan was a man called Kenzo Eryu. A rather powerful and frightening man.

”Don't worry about Guild leader. We don't have to give Junketsu's true identity. The leader just wants him to become officially a bounty hunter. This should avoid some hassle. Anyway, we shouldn't be discussing this now. Let's go home and contact him after the festival.”

”Hum? Sister of mine, I thought you were excited about watching the festival. Why go back now?”

”The right question is rather, why should we stay? Since Junketsu is present, then the result is already evident.”

”True. Those students are really unlucky.”

On those words, the three of them left the vicinity.

----- Interlude end

Meanwhile, the situation in the stadium itself, more precisely in the VIP lounge was rather fiery, to say the least.

After what happened in Saitama, Nezu had judged wise to invite the top 10 heroes in the off chance that those villains were stupid enough to launch an attack. He also got the service of a teleporter, who surprisingly was the sidekick of Hawk and as such was sure that even if an attack happened somewhere else, the heroes would be able to rush there.

”Endeavor. I especially paid for a chair resistant to fire for you. I swear that if you lose control and still burn them, I will make you pay for them.”

Right now, Endeavor was like a ticking time bomb. Though for Nezu, his bloodshot eyes as he looked at his sons getting beat by the nephew of All Might was rather interesting.

”Humph!!”

Endeavor reigned in his flames and simply got up before leaving the room. Still, despite the loud sound from the door being closed violently, no one particularly reacted. Well only All Might, in his muscular form, also got up and followed him.

'*Sigh*, All Might, you don't understand that with his current mindset, any words of advice from you will only be seen as the arrogance of the winner.'

Electing to not care about it anymore, he swiped the room with a look. This room was created thanks to the donation from the Yaoyorozu and the Gin families. It was rather luxurious and comfortable. They also expressed the intention to appear later in the day to assist in the final segment of the festival.

It was without a doubt good news in appearance. But, he couldn't help but become filled with unease. The Yaoyorozu had a reason to come and assist, but what about the Gin? He had only seen the holy maiden once, and since then he did everything to avoid her. After all, he was an animal before anything else. The first time he saw her, he nearly passed out because of how much his instincts were screaming at him to flee. The worst was that she wasn't even doing it intentionally.

'This year is truly hard on my heart. I feel like I recently lost some of my lifespans.'

”Sup!! What did I miss?”

The moment he heard the all familiar voice of the bunny hero, his nose was immediately assailed by a strong odor. Seeing as how the dragon hero, Ryuko Tatsuma furrowed her brow, he was sure that it wasn't his imagination.

'She...Mated?'

He wore an incredulous expression as he watched Rumi walk nonchalantly in her hero costume before sitting next to Ryuko.

What truly surprised him wasn't her mating. Rumi was a grown woman. She was free to do as she wished. The reason he was so surprised was that, on one hand, the odor was so strong that she must have mated for hours, and second, he recognized the odor the one she mated with.

'This boy is truly full of surprise.'

”So, what did you want to talk about? If we don't hurry, the cafeteria will probably get really crowded. I don't know for you, but my blood quirk is rather high in calorie consumption.”

Shoto Todoroki stood in the alley as he looked at the guy who so easily defeated him. Even now, he still couldn't understand how he lost so easily. He put his hand in his pocket as he began to speak,

”You totally overpowered me. So much that even though I tried to, I had no time to break my pledge.”

During the second part, he fought mainly against Izuku. Still, this didn't stop them from completely losing once they faced Kuroha.

”Tell me, Kuroha... Who are you?”
