Chapter 32: Never Break the Range

"Ha~" Itsuka Kendo let a long sigh. She turned her head to the window and was thinking about Lee. He hadn't shown up, even at the class that was looked up by many… Where is he?

It was Midnight's class and the guys didn't seem to want to skip this class, she knew. But Lee wasn't like the rest of them. He may get late, but not get absent without saying anything.

'Is he okay…' she wondered as she wasn't paying attention. Was Lee getting bored? Was he sick? Did something happen in his way to the school?

She had such kind of ideas since ever the second class started.

They were scary thoughts. As his girlfriend, she must know what is with him, so she can help. She must be reliable.

Looking up at the teacher of the Arts and Modern History, Itsuka felt that she should check up her phone. Maybe Lee had sent her a message, or she should text him.

Waiting for the moment that Midnight turned to write something on the board, Kendo reached her bag and grabbed her phone.

As soon as she saw there was a text, send from Lee's number, she smiled in relief.

However, the opening of the letter was weird. It was Lee being sarcastic as usual. Then, the message got serious.

"What!" crying in shock, Itsuka didn't believe what she had read. She shivered for a second. Lee, you better be pranking me.

It wasn't hard for the class to notice her as she sat on the first line.

Midnight almost jumped when she heard the cry. Turning, she saw Itsuka holding her phone in class. That was a disrespectful move.

However, seeing that Kendo's eyes were opened wide, she knew something serious may have happened. Maybe her parents, or home, it could be anything.

"What's going on?" Midnight decided to be a helpful teacher. Swaying her curves, which can drive any man crazy, gently, she reached Itsuka's seat and patted her.

"Sensei…" Itsuka turned her phone to Midnight to read.

Raising her glasses and leaning forward, Midnight started to read.

The massage clearly explained that Lee had heard some people are going to break to UA. Some guy can create a portal, with his Quirk. And he may have heard something about All Might.

The R rated heroin's face flinched. She then made a serious face. "Don't raise your voice." She hissed

"Is he fine?" Itsuka asked, obviously meaning Lee. Her face was concerned like she seemed to be close to him. Ara… something is happening in her class. But that wasn't Midnight's focus now.

"Since he said he is fine at the beginning of the letter." Midnight didn't dare to take Lee's letter as a joke. Well, if it appeared to be, Lee would be punished of course. However, if he said the truth and they ignored it, then the outcomes aren't to look for.

Itsuka just nodded. She hoped that Lee is fine. But that damn guy, how dare he to forget to tell her where he is. She needed to go and check on him now. That letter of his gave her a scar. If anyone dared to hurt him, she'll squash them with her fist.

"All Might… his schedule… very soon…"

Midnight walked toward her desk, picked up a couple of papers for the classes All Might is teaching at.

A1, that's it.

Turning toward the students who had confused faces, the heroine teacher raised her hand and flicked her fingers

"Alright, guys. You are dismissed."

Midnight then picked up a whip and ran out of the door.

"Oh…"

"Come on."

"We just got to the good part."

The boys and only the boys seemed to be upset by this changing.

***

Lee, with his Stand power, was jumping high. If anyone watched him, they may think that he was flying. To him, he was trying to make things easier for himself. A simple plan, experiment, to get stronger.

Of course, Lee has faith in his Stand and Hamon. Otherwise, he may just wait for someone to arrive.

Swiftly, he crossed the long distance. Some villains were in his way, and they were frozen, and Lee felt cold. Well, whoever had done that has a good Quirk, he thought.

Very soon, Lee reached the main Plaza, where he had left

Nomu seemed to be very fine, no injury trace or broken bone.

Aizawa was swiftly moving his eyes while looking between the remaining villains.

Although the other minor villains weren't here, the hands-masked leader, the fog demon-like, and the beast, Nomu, seemed to be enough to put burden at Aizawa.

Lee, who was in the air, noticed the big dark-skinned creature. All the damage he had done from earlier seemed to be healed.

'Did he regenerate? Isn't impossible for one man to have more than a Quirk… No time to think logically here. All I have to do is to blast him, and ask questions later.'

"Nomu!" Tomura Shigaraki, the one with hand mask, yelled.

The beast dashed toward Aizawa who was panting. Raising his eyes, Eraser Head seemed to accept his fate. Even if he erased the Quirk, or Quirks, of Nomu, he would still surpass him with strength and speed, giving its size.

Against such a person, even with his Quirk, Eraser Head was like a Quirkless person. However, at the last moment, Aizawa saw hope, as Lee was about to land on the ground.

'This brat…'

Aizawa did his last attempt as he glanced at Nomu. Argh, why his dry eyes are bothering him. But his Quirk didn't allow him to blink.

Lee, as soon as he landed on the ground, between the eyes of Shigaraki and the fog man, Kurogiri, he made Star Platinum lift a big rock.

With one hand planted to the ground, Star Platinum shot a rock toward Nomu.

"I won't let you."

Tomura, seeing that Lee was on his knees and that his force-field or whatever quirk was focusing on shooting something at Nomu, decided to get rid of this troublesome kid.

He needed only one touch. One-touch, and Lee would be turned to dust.

The rock flew from Lee and went to Nomu in blinding speed.

"Ha~"

Aizawa let a heavy sigh, as Nomu got hit on the back of his neck, and fell. Luckily, he cancelled his Quirks at the right moments. Now, he needed to focus on Nomu and not allow him to heal.

As for Tomura who moved to attack Lee, Aizawa decided to risk it. Well, Lee had dealt with villains attacking from every direction. He should be able to kick the ass of that guy.

"Turn to dust…"

Tomura chilly voice resounded as his naked hand approached Lee's face.

Just one touch and the boy would be –

"Good Grief."

Tomura found his hand stoping, not making its way toward Lee.

Star Platinum lifted Tomura from both hands.

"Oy, I can't move." Tomura felt like someone was holding his hands.

Lee turned his face. Despite being handsome, the expression he had shown was like of predator.

"You are the leader." Lee said, chilly, "this is for pissing me off."

Lee's muscles clenched as he made a fist, channelled Hamon on its top. T

The moment Tomura's hands were free from Star Platinum's, Lee gave him one heavy punch that sent him a few meters back.

"Prk… Prk…" Nomu let weird voices, as he tried to heal his injury, but he couldn't due Aizawa suppressing his quirks.

"And this…" Lee made Star Platinum lift another rock, a bigger one that he was going to throw on Tomura. "for getting me wet."

However, that moment, at the moment of blindness with rage, the dark fog villain vanished.

Dark fog appeared in front of Lee, who just gave the Stand the command to throw a rock.

Tomura's vanished from Lee's sight, as he ordered Star Platinum to throw the rock. But, something very dark occupied his vision.

Not only so, but he felt a gentle hand, on his back, pushing him forward slightly

Hands from back pushed him gently.

"Tomura!" Kurogiri yelled as he created a portal between Tomura and the rock.

He had originally thought that Lee's power, whatever it was, would make the rock fall once he teleported him.

Lee had all of the sudden found himself at the same place Kurogiri stood at earlier.

he was just a few meters away from his original spot.

'No way…'

He felt strange, so strange as he saw Star Platinum throwing that rock.

'What the… this feeling.'

There was something fixed for every stand user, a fixed rule that couldn't be broken.

That was range.

Now, Lee had broken the natural range of Star Platinum, as he was approximate, seven meters away from him.

He put a hand on his heart, as he felt the pain coming from there.

*Tchk* *Tchk*

He heard a cracking voice coming, from two sources. The first one was him, and the second was from his Stand.

"AAAA."

Feeling huge pain, Lee screamed.

His bones suddenly cracked and broke. Each nerve in his body was screaming.

Pa

Lee fell on his back, wounds appearing on his skin, screams of pain leaving his mouth.

"Lee!" Aizawa yelled as he turned and saw Lee jumping back, blood flying out of his mouth, wounds appearing on his body.

***

The pain is overwhelming.

My bones and flesh, I felt them hurt and shattering.

This is the worse injury I had experienced in my life.

'Come on, don't lose consciousness.'

"AGggg."

Stop screaming. I tried as hard as I can to lift my hand.

I know it happened all of the sudden, but I needed to make this last stand.

If I lose my conscious now, I would die now, I knew.

I needed to use that trick.

But my hand felt so heavy to lift. My bones were broken that I barely could move any muscle.

Come on Lee… You got this name when you sucked your first nipple.

Don't make the one who gave it to you sad.

Clenching my fist, with hard, I extended my Ripple.

"Arghh." As I tried to breathe, blood gashed out of the nose and my mouth. Star Platinum seemed to have cracks on his body as well.

'Hamo…'

I needed to breathe and heal myself.

Lifting my fist, I spat the blood and looked at my little finger.

One breath, come on.

One breath was all that I needed now.
