37 Chapter 21

Kai Chisaki looked at the news, Muscular was defeated. That wasn't good for his business. The official credit went to the number two hero, while some sources said otherwise.

"Another Fire incident." Kai said, looking lazily at the T.V. "Am I cursed by fire or something."

He stood up, shaking his head. He wanted Muscular to be his first one to promote the new version of Trigger. But he was defeated, even though the number two hero took him down. The price of trigger wouldn't increase at this rate.

He needed to do something more grand. He dialed in some contacts of the Naruhata City. "Yes, bring up the date…" There was a response, before he spoke again. "And I need more puppets, running. Also watch out for Stendhal, if possible kill him."

.

The next day,

"So, take care. I guess." Hawks smiled standing up from Toya's bed. "It would be awesome to team up. You cover the ground while I cover the sky. So, get well soon."

With that Hawks left the room. Toya smiled as his friend went away. Keigo was a genuine person.

Even though he was one year older then him, after joining the association, Toya and he became very good friends. Good enough to even cover his miss-ups.

And now he would be willing to team up with a private licensed hero. Kegio Takami or mostly known as Hawks was already 24th position in the hero ranking.

And the general public don't like hero that come with private license. It means your dear old dady bought your way to a hero. Huh, he wished.

Speaking of his father, he always hated his flames. Flames hurt him, his family and everyone else. Even when fighting ruthless villains, Toya if he had the option he wouldn't use his flames. Knocking them out with kicks and punches. He would trade his fire for her mother's ice any day.

But now he didn't know being a hero was made up for him. He still couldn't believe yesterday night.

Flashback to the previous night,

Toya's bed was being escorted by the same nurse. Sara was her name, the one with the lighting-fingernails. It was a good reason that she believed him when he said that he had the regen quirk, but now he wasn't sure. How was he going to explain it to professional doctor. Even the system didn't have much to say.

His bed stood by the hospital chamber, as the nurse went into the room to check on the doctor. He would need some X-Ray done as well, before meeting with Recovery girl. But someone had saw him and recognized him.

But Toya was in his own musing to notice it. After the X-Ray was done, he was notified that Recovery girl was off duty today for some personal reason. The nurse excused herself once again, as she went to get the reports of the X-Ray.

'Score. I live another day.' Toya cheered in his mind. The bed was in the hallway, now but if he was in his room, he would definitively jumped while cheering.

He was so into it that, he didn't notice three people that had come near him.

"Um… Mr. Fireuser."

Toya looked at them. "Yeah, kid." And curse his luck, it was the Water Hose heroes with their kid. Why did he have to response to this.

The kid grasped, "S-So I was right. You were the cool hero." The kid said with sparkling eyes.

Toya furiously shook his head, and tried to bury himself in the bed, wrap himself in blanket.

Seeing his reaction, the mother caught on. And stopped the kid. "Kota, say your thanks." She said in a whisper. "Our Mr. Hero doesn't like much attention."

"Oh, sorry then." The kid, Kota also whispered taking out a marker from his pocket. "Can I have your autograph? I don't have my notebook, but you can sign it on my shirt."

Seeing the enthusiasm and sparkle in the kid's eyes Toya took the pen. "Ah… I am not an official hero yet." It made the kid sad. "A Govt. Agent for now… but I will get my license in a few months." He quickly corrected himself.

And for some reason it made the kid even more enthusiastic. "T-Then I will be the one who get's your first autograph right?"

Toya smiled, "Yeah…"

"What's your name." The kid said.

"Toya."

"Um… No, your hero name."

"Oh, Dabi I guess."

"Then Dabi-san, I want both as auto-graph."

That made him chuckle, "A greedy one, aren't you. What's your name anyways" But he complied, give the autograph.

"Kota Ijumi. And growing up I want to be a hero just like you." The boys smile made Toya remember about Eri. She was at his age, if not a bit older.

"You know, you are much younger then I expected… but you have my gratitude, if you didn't step in we wouldn't have made it..." Gray nodded to his wife. With that the mother Makino took Kota away. "You did the right thing. Don't worry, I know a few friends in the local news, they will hide it."

"Really?" Toya asked. "T-Then, would you please do it. It's the second time, you helped me this day. Thanks again."

The man smiled giving him a pat on the shoulder. "We need more people like you, willing to risk it all, for the right thing." The last part the hero said to himself, but it made Toya's heart twist.

Toya wished he was half the person they were thinking he was.

Flashback end.
