2 I want to ask a question

Brando opened his eyes slowly and he stood up hurriedly. He remembered the thing that happened before he fainted and worried that he had entered a jail or juvenile reformatory but it seemed wasn't the case since he was in a normal room. His body was still hurt but he didn't want to stay in this place any longer. He walked out from his room and saw the old man that he had fought before.

"Oh, you have woken up? Your durability is very high," the old man smiled.

Brando frowned and ignored him. He wanted to get out of this place since he didn't want to stay in this place, also that smile was a bit annoying.

"Where are you going?" The old man called.

"Anywhere as long as it is not here," Brando said.

"You don't have anywhere to go right? I have called your orphanage and said that you have run away from that place," the old man said.

Brando frowned and looked at him, "I will sue you for a violation of privacy."

The old man smiled, "You're only five years old, how did you know such a thing?"

"That's not your business," Brando answered and walked out until he heard his voice.

"How about staying here?"

"Ha? Are you out of your mind, old man?" Brando looked at him as if an idiot.

"If I let you out, I'm sure that you will become a villain soon or later," the old man said.

"Me? Villains?" Brando snorted. He thought that villain wasn't a good profession it was better for him to become a scientist or businessman and lived comfortably. He didn't want to live at the bottom of society hiding in the dark.

"Hmm, you don't want to become a villain?" The old man asked when he saw his reaction.

"I'm too lazy to talk, bye, old man," Brando said and walked out but he was stopped again by him, "What's wrong?"

"I'm going to adopt you," the old man said.

"....."

Brando stunned for seconds and sighed, "You want to adopt me?"

The old man snorted, "You're young, you need someone to educate you."

"I don't want to be educated," Brando said.

"I will take you to jail," the old man said.

"....."

"Don't force me, old man," Brando said.

"Isn't it good that you stay here? You have a roof to sleep on, something to eat, and I will let you go to school," the old man said.

"...."

Brando thought that it wasn't bad but he couldn't help but felt suspicious, "What do you want?"

"Nothing, I just thought you were very interesting, little devil," the old man said.

"What a coincidence? I also think you're a very interesting old man," Brando said. He didn't have anywhere to go and he didn't think that this old man wanted to harm him. His plan was to have someone to adopt him and it was good that he didn't have to search for it again.

Brando looked at him while listening to his story.

"So you're a hero?" Brando said.

"Yes, my hero's name is Gran Torino, my real name is Sorahiko, what's your name?" Sorahiko asked.

"Brando, it's just Brando," Brando said.

"You're a half?" Sorahiko asked.

"I have never seen them," Brando yawned.

"...."

Sorahiko had never seen such a kid before, "So why are you running from the orphanage?"

"Hmm? There was nothing special about it, they thought I was a freak and then I was out," Brando said.

"...."

"You're not sad?" Sorahiko asked.

"Nothing, I know that I will be richer and stronger in the future, the gentleman's revenge, ten years is not late," Brando said.

"....."

"You're going to have revenge?" Sorahiko asked.

"No way, that's too troublesome," Brando said.

"...."

"You're playing with me!!!!" Sorahiko was annoyed.

"Yes," Brando nodded and smiled, "You're smart."

"...."

Sorahiko sighed and said, "I will help you with the school later."

"Thank you," Brando nodded and asked, "Where should I sleep?"

"Hmm, you can sleep in that room earlier," Sorahiko said.

"Do you have anything that I can eat?" Brando asked.

"There is food in the fridge, can you cook?" Sorahiko asked.

"I can," Brando nodded and walked to the kitchen to cook something since he was quite hungry.

"Hmm," Sorahiko was a bit surprised since he thought that this kid would be very hard to handle but this kid was strangely quiet. He looked at him and asked, "So you're stealing because you don't have money?"

"Yeah, do you think that everything can be solved with stealing? I'm lucky to meet you, if it's other people then I will enter the juvenile reformatory right now," Brando answered.

Sorahiko smiled, "You sure saying something nice." He looked at his tail and asked, "You transform back your tail?"

"I'm still learning before I can't even turn into a normal appearance," Brando answered.

"...."

Sorahiko understood why this kid ran away from the orphan.

Brando cooked a simple omelet and brought it to the living room while eating it quietly.

"..."

"What? Do you want some?" Brando asked.

"No," Sorahiko shook his head, "You're quite different from what I have seen before, I have thought that you should be more aggressive and angry most of the time."

"That's true, but if you're my benefactor now, I don't really think there's a reason why I should be angry at you," Brando said.

"..."

"You know what? "You're not as cute as a kid," Sorahiko said and added, "Can you be more childish?"

"The environment forces me," Brando answered.

"...."

Sorahiko wanted to say something but he couldn't.

Brando thought for a bit and asked, "I have been wanting to meet a professional hero, can I ask you a question?"

"Hmm? What is it? I will answer whatever you want to know," Sorahiko smiled when he thought that this kind had an interest in hero activity with his quirk he knew that it wouldn't be long before he could be a pro hero.

"How much is the salary of a professional hero? Is it based on the contribution or is there another system? Is there any insurance in this job? Do you get a pension?...." Brando kept asking a lot of questions regarding this job to him since he was curious why someone wanted to work in this dangerous job.

"....."

Sorahiko twitched his lips when he heard his question, 'This kid isn't cute!'
