"You are...!"
Even if his face was a bit hard to see, when the woman saw his back, she couldn't help but exclaim since this back was so familiar!
"You! You! You are All-Might's inheritor!"
Yet, while the woman was startled, the villain, who was in pain after being beaten down by Isao, was even more shocked!
Unlike the woman who needed time to remember who Isao was, this villain remembered him directly!
Even if Isao's appearance wasn't clear, his back was remembered by everyone, and more importantly, as he saved someone, showing his heroic action, this quickly triggered the depth of their memories, making them quickly remember who he was.
Yet, this villain's memory appeared to be on a different level since he was a "Hero Killer"!
Chizome Akaguro.
It was his name, and like most fanboys, he loved the hero so much to the point that it could be called a sickness!
In his eyes, those heroes that appeared in public weren't heroes at all!
Instead, they were nothing but a faker who just dressed as a hero!
Others might not accept his view, but it didn't matter since no one shook his belief!
In his mind, a hero should be a pure existence!
Someone who shouldn't just help others just because of money. Instead, they had done all of their actions because it was their beliefs!
Money! Money! Money!
This thing had dirtied the concept of a hero!
Yet, even if he tried to tell everyone, no one listened to him, so that was why he was going to make everything pure with his own hands!
How?
It was by killing those fakers!
Yes, by killing those fakers, hopefully, everyone would realize that working as a hero for money was wrong!
Yet, while those young people might appreciate his actions, those who had become adults naturally couldn't accept his idea since it was impossible to live without money!
However, Chizome didn't care about that. In his mind, they were fakers, just someone who deceived everyone that they were a hero!
Yes, he knew that killing people was wrong, and he also knew that there was a more peaceful way to do all of this, but no, the truth was that no one listened to him, and that was why he was going to use the blood of their fakers to fix everything.
Nevertheless, even if he was wrong, he knew that sooner or later, he would be caught by a hero, the only one who could catch him as a true hero!
Like All-Might!
Meanwhile, Isao wasn't a hero; he was just a young man, yet he was the inheritor of All-Might!
When Isao appeared, Chizome knew that he had to see whether this guy was a true hero or not; after all, being a symbol of peace meant that Isao would become the number one hero, but if Isao's mind wasn't pure, then what was the point?
If Isao wasn't pure, then Chizome would use this young man's blood to tell society that even if Isao was All Might's inheritor, he wasn't afraid and immune against him!
Instead, if Isao wasn't pure, then it would be good for Chizome since he could use Isao's blood to remind every hero not to become a fake hero!
Still, inwardly, Chizone had a hope that Isao was the real deal since, to be honest, he was also Isao's fan ~!
So, while his body was hurt after being beaten by Isao, his mouth moved and asked, "Hey, why did you become a hero?"
Yet—
"Are you fine?" Isao never looked at Chizome and looked at the woman, who was kind of familiar for some reason. Her features were unique, and she was beautiful, but unfortunately, she wasn't a mature or a married woman, so his interest wasn't high, especially since he had been with many beautiful women in the world of "Danmachi," whose beauty couldn't be matched by the majority of women.
But then again, due to the existence of "Quirk," the women in this world were quite special since by using their "Quirks," they could make their days quite fun, like how Nana, who did a flying play, Mitsuki, who could do a wet play, or Rei, who had a natural cold body.
Isao knew that he was a bit perverted, but he liked to stay in this world even if it was a little troublesome.
"Ah, um, I am fine. Thank you for saving me..."
Ryukyu, or Ryuko Tatsuma, had never thought that she would be saved by a civilian. Even if Isao was the inheritor of All Might, he was still a young man, and she felt ashamed to show how she would succumb to the terror of the villain, begging and crying like that.
"It's fine. Everything is fine."
When Ryuko was sad, she felt his gentle touch, holding her hands softly and telling her that everything was going to be okay. "Um..." She knew that she was quite pathetic to show this side of hers, but then again, she was almost killed. She might be a hero and a top one at that, yet a hero was just a profession, after all, and who among those heroes could confidently say that they were ready to die?
Instead of thinking about why one became a hero, it was better not to think too much and just do their best since being a hero in this world was nothing but just a profession.
After all, having a stable job wasn't an easy thing in today's economy, and all the heroes were just working hard to live day by day.
If they didn't ask for money, then how could they live?
Using a charity?
Don't be kidding!
Chozame never cared about that since he thought everyone could live like him, staying in the slump, never taking a bath, and just eating scraps from the trash. He had never cared about all of that and just forced his selfish beliefs onto others!
"HEY, ANSWER ME!"
So, when Chizome was ignored by Isao, he became furious, and even if he was beaten, he forcefully moved his body and raised his blade to give this little bastard a lesson!
"Watch out!"
Ryuko, who was held by Isao, was startled and quickly reminded Isao when Chizome tried to give him a sneak attack.
Isao didn't even need to turn, but then, he had to say, he was quite disappointed by the "Hero Killer."
Was this a "Hero Killer"?
Why did it feel like this guy was nothing but bullying the weak?
If Chizome dared, then why didn't this guy attack All-Might instead of attacking a small fry?
As Isao thought so, he just beat up Chizome until this guy was broken completely.
As for killing this guy, Isao felt that it wasn't necessary since he didn't have a hobby of killing others, and he wasn't a psychopath. More importantly, Ryuko was by his side, so he knew that he had to be law-bidding even if it didn't matter, even if Ryuko saw him killing Chizome.
'Ah...'
Chizome tried to wake up and even stood up, showing his determination, but in front of overwhelming power, he could only lie down.
On the other hand, Ryuko was dumbfounded by Isao's power and stared at him in a daze.
"By the way, I know that what I did was illegal, so please say that you were the one who took care of him, okay?"
"Ah, um..."
Watching this gentle smile, Ryuko fell into a daze, unable to think of anything except for him inside her mind, but what she didn't expect was that their relationship would be far deeper than she had intended to be since not only Isao would touch her best friend and disciple, but all of them would be living together and have a relationship that far deeper than one could imagine.
Yet, she would be more than happy to do it~!
