5 Vigilante

The next morning as I watched the news I could see the salary-man from last night getting interviewed at the hospital, he tried to describe me as best as he could, but it was too dark so he couldn't give any facial features.

The police called my actions dangerous and reckless, they took this as an isolated case and started building a file for vigilantism. As I was sitting on the couch in the free area of the orphanage I closed the tv and prepared to go out and train.

Being considered a vigilante didn't bother me, I don't think they can get any information on me from last night's encounter. Going towards the park I started jogging, you would think that after my past lives experience with parks I wouldn't set foot in one ever again, but I didn't have anywhere else to go,

I could use the cover of some trees to practice my quirk and I used the metal bars in the playground for pull-ups. After that I went to the beach to practice my light beams into the ocean, It was less destructive this way.

I've been trying to replicate Yasakani no Magatama, an attack Kizaru used, crossing my arms in front of me and using both hands to fire a torrent of deadly light particles, I couldn't do it as well as him, obviously, I needed to get more proficient in using the devil fruit. Using my weak version of it already left me gasping for air.

Other moves I tried to replicate are Ama no Murakumo, I couldn't solidify my light enough to turn it into a sharp blade, I could at most make it into a pointed stick, and Amaterasu, blinding my enemies with a beam of light, I needed to work on my aim for that one, observation haki helped a lot.

The only ability I can replicate without falling to my knees and gasping for air is Yata no Kagami, sending a beam of light forward, reflecting it off of surfaces and then transforming into the light to get to where I want, the movement looked almost instant.

Finishing my quirk training I use Yata no Kagami to climb up a building and start running, from building to building, practising parkour and observing the alleyways bellow me.

After a while I smelled something burning, looking around I managed to catch smoke rising from an apartment building nearby. Without thinking much I dashed in that direction, reaching the building opposite to the one on fire.

Looking down I could see people panicking and calling authorities to deal with the fire, I quickly decided to check the building using my haki. Having died in a fire before I didn't want others to go through that.

I could feel a person trapped in a bathroom inside an apartment. Using Yata no Kagami I dashed into the building navigating the beam of light to reach the bathroom door using my haki.

The inside was filled with smoke, I quickly ripped the sleeves of my tracksuit using one to cover my mouth and nose and preparing one for the person inside.

Opening the door I could see a small girl, her eyes are large and round, their irises a warm brown, her hair is shoulder-length and about the same colour as her eyes, bobbed and curved inwards at the ends.

This was, if I remember correctly, Ochaco Uraraka, a much younger version of her anyway. I couldn't really sit there for long, I could sense her fear even through the thick smoke filling the room.

I quickly used the sleeve to cover her face and dashed out of the house through a window. I couldn't use Yata no Kagami so I grasped the side of the building, using Ama no Murakumo I dug into the building, although I couldn't sharpen it I could still use it as a pointed stick, piercing it into the building and letting it kill most of my momentum.

When reaching the ground I gently placed Ochaco down, I could see her parents in the distance, with bags in hand, they were most likely out buying groceries when this was happening. When they saw the fire they quickly dropped all their bags and dashed towards their daughter.

I quickly turned into a beam of light and ran off, although getting to know a part of the main cast seemed nice, sticking around would be troublesome.

As I reached a dumpster I quickly threw away my ripped tracksuit and got rid of my makeshift facemask. Heading home I was somewhat tired and extremely on edge, hoping I won't get recognized.

__________POV Narration__________

The only thing the people that ran out of the apartments could see was smoke. Most people were panicking, calling ambulances and firefighters, all of them were hoping for a hero to appear.

Their prayers were answered when the most appropriate hero for this situation turned up almost instantly, Backdraft was most likely already in the area. He quickly started putting out the spreading fires.

He caught with the corner of his eye, a flash of light, a beam heading into the building. It disappeared in a second, no one else seemed to have noticed it.

Then he heard a window break, he saw a young man holding an even younger girl jumping through a window, he prepared to attempt to catch them on a stream of water, hoping he could soften their fall.

Thankfully there was no need, as the young man materialised what seemed to be a sword of pure light and slowed down his own descent by thrusting it into the building.

Backdraft quickly concentrated on the fires, hoping to suppress them. After a while, he managed to do so. But the young man was gone, the girl was in the hands of what he presumed were her parents, crying and coughing.

He wanted to thank the young man, what he did couldn't really be considered illegal, just reckless, the most that could happen was a fine and a few days of voluntary work. He hoped the police wouldn't be too hard on the young man when they caught him.
