43 Chapter 43: A True Hero

For a hero, what is considered righteous? Is it defeating villains? Is it saving the world from cruelty? Or is it simply helping the civilians? Perhaps, it's all of the above.

If that's true, then what is considered wickedness? Is it killing the heroes? The innocent? Or is it creating chaos to make people suffer? Once again, perhaps it is all of the above.

For Kazumi, it's none of the above. After all, righteousness and wickedness are created by the viewpoints of the people. They're created by people who haven't experienced the real world. And there's also the fact that everyone looks at things differently.

Kazumi sighed as she stood on top of a building. The slight breeze blew her white hair back as her eyes sparkled in the afternoon sky. Righteousness and things like that were too difficult to think about, just do the things you believe in.

As her eyes wandered through the city, her mind started to think of Yua Himiko and how they were the same. She knew that Yua wasn't someone reincarnated in this world, but she was someone who knew more than the average person did.

"By the way, I like you, I really do. You can count that as a confession but remember. I don't wish to be your enemy, I only wish for us to work together. We'll meet again soon, don't forget about me."

That sentence was stuck in Kazumi's mind, she had no idea what Yua was thinking when she said it. Though one thing was for sure, Yua's confession did not make her heart skip a beat.

Kazumi shook her head to get rid of the unnecessary thoughts.

"Now then, let's just check on how the city is doing." Kazumi muttered as she jumped off the building and put on her blindfold.

The next thing she realized was that she shouldn't have jumped off the building. Of all the things she had to land in front of, she landed in front of a large television that displayed Momo, Uwabami, and Itsuka showing off for the brand "Uneri."

Kazumi nearly fell over in shock, considering Momo's personality, she didn't think she was going to do something that again. Kazumi thought that the cheerleading event was the last of it, but she thought wrong.

"Yep, I'll never get used to it." Kazumi muttered as she started walking through the city. Suddenly, things started to become even worse.

The three figures Kazumi saw on the large TV walked out of the building and appeared right before her. She didn't have enough time to run when Itsuka had called her out.

"Yo! Kazumi!" Itsuka called out as she walked over to Kazumi.

"Hey, Itsuka." Kazumi said as she greeted the others as well.

"Kazumi, was it?" Kazumi heard Uwabami say. "Could you be Gojo Kazumi that has been on the news lately?"

"Haha...that's me."

"I'm Uwabami, it's nice to meet you Kazumi."

"I already knew who you were, but it's nice to meet you too."

"Oh?" Uwabami was surprised. "You know who I am?"

"Of course, I'm pretty sure you're more popular than me. You've made quite a few appearances on the TV back at my home."

Uwabami chuckled. "I see, well, the three of us have to patrol the area. Would you like to come along?"

Kazumi glanced at Momo before turning back to Uwabami. "I'd gladly accept, but I have to decline. There's somewhere I have to be."

"I see, then take care. We're already late."

Kazumi nodded before the three jogged off to patrol the city. She watched Momo as she followed the others, she wondered what Momo was feeling when she was doing the advertisement.

She was sure it wasn't a good feeling.

With that said, Kazumi started to make her way to where Midnight was.

Meanwhile inside the school...

"Sensei!" All Might said through the phone. "Is something wrong?"

"Your disciple, I got my license revoked for six months because of him." Gran Torino replied over the phone.

"I'm sorry! It's because of my misteaching that things turned out this way!"

"I don't care about my license, there's something else that I want to talk about. But first, are you in a private spot?"

All Might glance around and saw that there wasn't anyone near him.

"Yes, there's nobody but me here right now."

"Alright, I called to talk to you about Gojo Kazumi and what happened before the Hero Killer's death."

All Might frowned, he knew what Gran Torino was talking about. It was when everything turned dark and when everything returned to normal, Stain's corpse was on the ground.

"I see, please continue."

"Although I couldn't see anything when it happened, I was able to feel it. The energy or aura that I felt was abnormal. It was something that I've never felt before."

"Was there anything unique about the energy?"

"Yes, it was evil, ominous, wicked, corrupt, and revolting. It may be the scariest energy I've felt in my entire lifetime."

"...are you sure? Heroes were said to emit an aura or energy that made people feel safe or better. But Kazumi..."

"I know, this is something we have to ask her. In the worst-case scenario, we might have to keep watch on her at all times."

"I don't think we should do that considering she's still a kid."

"I know, but despite her age, she's had the mentality of an adult, and she seems like she knows the path she wants to take." Gran Torino said with a sigh.

"I think we should question her before we do anything rash. We've seen her abilities and she might be as strong as us or even stronger. Her talent is limitless."

"Alright, that's all I wanted to talk to you about. When all of you are back in school, have her come to my private office. We'll talk there."

"Alright. See you then." All Might replied as he hung up the phone. He stared off into the distance and let out a sigh. "Kazumi...I pray that you won't become someone the people hate."

"Achoo! Is someone talking about me?"
