7 Business as usual

As I reached home my hand started hurting more and more, I used a lot of force when hitting that villain with Ama no Murakumo, my grip strength was tested to its limits, I didn't realize at that time due to adrenaline, thankfully it wasn't anything serious.

However I most likely busted some of his organs with it, I'm quite sure that the only reason he could keep moving was because of adrenaline and insanity. I changed out of my suit and put it in a bag I had hidden in an alleyway near the orphanage.

I reached the common area I turned on the tv, I didn't feel like sleeping and I wanted to see the news.

On the news I could already see the title, murder stopped by a local vigilante, what I didn't expect however was to see footage of the fight, I had been careless, in my rush to save that man's life I failed to check my surroundings.

Dread and regret slowly started filling me, I had been too careless, my face was in plain view, although covered by my glasses and fake beard it would still be obvious to anyone who knew me.

The camera was at an angle, it didn't manage to catch the knife going through me, at least some of my abilities still remained unknown.

Thankfully I didn't have any friends, the only person that knows my face well enough to make the connection is the old lady, but she didn't really watch the news. Regardless of that, I needed to find a new place to live as soon as I could.

I started calming down, I needed rest after such a long day, I didn't want to ruin my schedule. After sleeping the night through I woke up and got dressed for my workout, I picked up my bag and went straight to the beach, I always keep my vigilante costume with me.

Soon something I dislike will start, the summer holiday was almost over, soon enough I will have to go to school, it seemed like time wasted to me, but I couldn't ignore it, I still wanted to get an education and integrate into society.

I had thought of becoming a hero but I am undecided, I still have time to decide my future. I don't like to rush things, I haven't been enjoying myself a lot lately, always training and beating villains.

I should put some time aside to play some games and read manga, the past year I needed to get accustomed to my new power, now I can relax a bit.

Although I said that, I will still make my training harder. I need to reach a point that I am satisfied with, I wanted to be in peak physical condition.

__________ POV Narration__________

The chief of police Kenji Tsuragamae was sitting at his desk looking at the reports about the recent vigilante that sprung up in Musutafu, he was concerned that his recent spike in popularity might encourage others to do more reckless actions.

From the camera footage, he had seen the vigilante "Yellow Flash" lived up to his name, he had thought the villains were just exaggerating when recounting their experience with him.

Although he couldn't understand why the villain didn't move out of the way for that attack. He assumed he was wearing a protective vest underneath his suit. There was no other blood at the scene beside the victims and the villains.

However now, with the surfacing of this short but somewhat eventful battle, all doubt was thrown out the window, his blinding speed displayed for the world to see.

The Yellow Flash was quickly rising in popularity in the eyes of the general public and notoriety in the eyes of the heroes and police force. He needed to do something about this before it was too late.

He decided to call one of his younger detectives Naomasa Tsukauchi. He wanted to give him a chance to prove himself, after all, he was quite new to the police force in this area.

"Naomasa, I have something for you to look into."

He immediately stated, not wanting to waste any more time than necessary.

"Yes, sir!"

Naomasa stated firmly.

"I trust you have been watching the news lately, I want you to find the identity of the vigilante titled 'Yellow Flash'."

The chief waited for a moment, then continued.

"I will have the appropriate documents sent to you, you are to look for any similarities in quirk and appearance in our databases."

"What should I do after finding it, sir?"

Naomasa was quite confident in his skill, he knew that, as long as the man was registered, it was just a matter of time before he was found. His quirk was quite unique after all.

"When you discover his identity you will just give me a report..."

He paused, thinking a bit. After that, he ended the phone call and called someone to give Naomasa the required information to start his investigation.

'I will need to contact some heroes to apprehend him.' He said to himself, while he trusted the capabilities of his subordinates he knew that catching this person was going to be tricky, even for most Pro Heroes.

And so he sat there contemplating the best team for detaining such vigilante.
