Chapter 23 A rough night.

--Good evening for those who are tuning in, I will be brief, Monstrous Villains have appeared all over the city! The heroes are fighting against them and together with them the eccentric vigilante Night Skull! Just a few moments ago, a hundred monsters whose only common characteristics are their exposed brains and avian faces... They are informing me that these villains are called "NOMUS". Over a hundred of these Nomus are attacking the city!

***

A few days before.

--Iida...there is a call for you.

--Yes, sensei.

Iida Tenya was called by Eraeser-sensei, the hall quickly boiled over with the assumptions and gossip on my part, I felt an annoying feeling of premonition… Did I forget something? Tomura, the yakuza guy, All For One…did I forget anyone?

"Oi, Yuuji... Are you feeling alright?"

--Huh?

Shoto shook me by the shoulder seeing me lost in thought.

It's nothing, I was just thinking about something...

--I see and how are things with Fuyumi?

--Neither bad nor good~

--Refused…

--It's not just that the old man prevents me from getting the hotel reservation~

--You're missing several steps there, Yuuji.

Shoto had a pulsating vein on his forehead at the mention of the word hotel.

--It's not what you think, it's just that the hotel has the best restaurant in town, just a coffee costs 50,000 yen and they supposedly have the best paella in the world~

--I see... as nee-san likes it, did you want to take her there?

--Exactly~ and in case things went well~ why not~ go further~

*tack*

--Do not block.

Ignoring the terrified stares of our companions, Shoto attacked me with a sharp block of ice which I blocked with another block of ice.

--Just kidding~ I'll go step by step~

--Fuck you.

I teased Shoto as the unscrupulous glares grew heavier and sharper, at least until the news of the "Defeat" of Iida's brother, the hero Ingenium at the hands of the "Hero Killer Stein" came.

--... (That was it! Damn I forgot about that guy!)

Resisting the urge to punch myself in the face for my mental lapse, I began to delve into my memories of events related to this time.

***

One hours before.

--...Shoto and the others are drowning in internships~ old Endeavor is with Fuyumi at the art auction~...while I'm here talking to my shadow waiting for the party to start~

According to my poor and dim recollection, the league of villains aka Tomura-chan~ should make a large-scale attack on the city with a good number of Nomus at the same time Mr. Square is engaged in a potentially Sociopathic Homicidal Spree, Seaweed Hair As a good protagonist, he will be dragged to the heart of the matter, which makes my job easier.

--Oh~ An idiot~!

Singing before the appearance of generic A thug to get me out of my boredom, I dropped down from the fire escape and hit the poor idiot with the heel of my boot.

--Guys~ guys~ I already told you~ don't steal in my territory~

Laughing happily, I stepped on the thug's ribs a little while the guy I was trying to rob took his wallet before running off without even saying thanks, a very rude guy.

--I-I-I'm-sorry-please-forgive me...

--No whining~ luckily your merciful Daddy Skull~ is in a good mood today~ so take your pick~ Arm or Leg?

Pick up the poor guy by the neck before tossing him like a garbage bag into the dumpster.

*BLAAAAANG*

--B-br-arm!

--Good Answer~

*CRACK*

-- AAAH !!!

--Shut up and get lost~

I kick the guy out of the alley and check my phone, class 1-A's chat group is quite active tonight, several are at their internships and others at home, technically I should be locked up in Endevour's agency but thanks Because of my good relationship with the general secretary (he knows he can't beat me), I can come and go as I please.

*TRING*

--And we begin~

Chat 1-A

// Deku : Iida-kun, where are you?

//Iida Tenya : I found it !!!

// Deku: Calm down.

//Todoroki Shoto : … I'll help

//Uraraka Ochako : Iida-kun you should calm down.

// Froopy : Todoroki, Iida calm down.

// Ymir : I'm in~ where's the party~

//Kaminari Denki : Oi, Yuuji... these guys are hunting Stein, it's not a party.

// Ymir : And that's the kind of party I like~ Pass the address~

//Deku : You too Kurogane !!!

//Iida Tenya : Here… Link.

//Todoroki Shoto : on his way.

// Ymir : leaving~

//Uraraka Ochako : Are you really going to do this?

// Ymir: Yeah~

//Todoroki Shoto : Correct.

***

--Okay, time to---

*BOOOOOOOM*

--Begin?

--URYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGG !!! _

Before I could even turn around, a gray pterodactyl-like monster slammed into me.

--UGRYAAAAG!

--Shut your mouth.

Pinning my arm already covered in razor-sharp armor of ice, I ripped and slashed at the monster's long neck, splashing myself in its blood.

--Fuck it was a Nomu!

*BOOOM*

"Shit, it's the Nomus horde!" I forgot about them!

Without waiting or thinking anymore, I reaffirmed my mask and jumped into the street preparing myself for a long night.

***

--As you can see, the vigilante Night Skull together with the professional heroes are holding back and defeating the Nomus.

--Careful!

--KYAAAAA!

*CRASH*

--The journalists, behind the yellow line~

--Mr. Night Skull... One word! Why are you a vigilante fighting alongside the heroes? Aren't you afraid they'll capture you too? Is it true that—

--I'm~ working here~ miss~

I spoke with a sarcastic tone while getting out of the rubble, a gray gorilla type Nomu threw me but at least I came out better than Kamui Woods and Hammer, those two got their asses kicked and Mt.Lady can't do anything since we don't have enough space for his huge and oversized figure.

--I-I'm sorry...

--Quiet~ answering you quickly. If I'm a vigilante, if I'm working with the heroes because I'm one of the good guys and if you think you can catch me, try it~ By the way~ Behind the line I'm working on!

I ran towards the Nomu charging at full speed covering only my knuckles in a thin and ridiculously thick layer of ice, turning my fists into a meat grinder.

*SMAHS*

With a single crushing blow I smashed and ripped open the Nomu's chest, killing him instantly. They're just mindless monsters… why keep them alive~? I continued on my way while smashing and killing as many gray Nomu as I could find.

--And there you have it, vigilante Night Skull, claiming to be one of the good guys and daring the heroes to catch him.

***

--Night Skull! Stop!

--Hey~ Kamui, are you feeling good, that thump must have hurt?

"Yes, it did hurt but you have to stop, you kill too much, I know you're a good guy but…"

--Leave the words Kamui, Skull you are a homicidal they may be monsters but they are still people.

The wounded heroes Kamui Woods, Hammer, Mt.Lady along with a small batch of fill-in heroes, surrounded me just as I finished finishing off a black Nomu... those unfortunate blacks regenerate like weeds, but nothing to nail my two hands to in your chest and freezing them from the inside out at the molecular level doesn't fix it.

--So...they want to catch me~?

I spoke while taking out a pair of combat daggers which I have not used, taking one in each hand I prepared to leave the encirclement.

--Night Skull! Surrender!

--Sorry cutie~ but you're not my type~

--Him!

--Come to daddy~ (Avalon release 35%)

Being flooded by the Avalon's vitality and energy I kicked the ground launching myself into the air and landed a clean high kick on the delicate chin of Mt.Lady who was still in the midst of her transformation.

--Mt.Lady !!! _

--Don't be careless~

Appearing behind Kamui Woods who defended himself from my daggers with his wood but ended up using that wood as a foothold to turn and land an ax kick on his helmet pinning it to the ground. With Mt.Lady and Kamui out of the fight Hammer and the rest of the Minions-type heroes moved out of the way.

--Hey, Hammer isn't personal~ but I'm kind of busy~

I walked over to Hammer and punched him sharply in the stomach, his eyes rolled back into white and he passed out.

--Let's see~

Ignoring the scared looks from the Minions and the audience, I took out my phone and checked the situation of our vengeful Mr. Square and Shoto.

***

// Ymir : I'm hitting Nomus~ I'm on my way~

//Iida Tenya : We have his trail.

//Todoroki Shoto : He is taking advantage of the chaos to hunt more heroes.

// Ymir : Great~ I'm on my way~

// Deku : Kurogane, don't you think you enjoy it too much?

// Ymir : I'll enjoy it like you can't imagine~

//Kaminari Denki : Nice Reference.

--It seems that I still have time and it's not that far from the agency...

I ran towards one of the alleys near the Endeavor agency and changed my clothes, I went back into the agency and put on my hero outfit, there are still an infinity of gray Nomus and several black ones but they are already being taken care of, except for some bastard pterodactyls that stay in the air.

--Oi, secretary-nee-san~

--What does Kurogane-sama need?

--Tell the old man to take care of that flock of grays~

He could see a series of torrents of flame and Endeavor himself flying in pursuit.

--Understood... but can you fly?

--I can't fly~ but he can~

I left the agency and exhaled an icy air.

--Ice Modeling, Frozen Dragon Peterhausen!

An ice dragon was created in the blink of an eye, leaping onto the throne attached to his back and greeted the astonished secretary before departing. With a simple flutter, the huge figure rose into the air, don't ask me how many laws of physics and aerodynamics I'm breaking right now because I don't know, I just know that making this beautiful and evil lizard consumes an infinity of energy and concentration , but its great.

--Come on, eat them all~

*ROOOOOAR*

***

--What the fuck is that?

--DRAGON!

--It's devouring the Nomus!

--Is there anyone on him? There's someone riding the dragon!

*ROOOAR*

***

--Old man and your heart~?

I greeted hero number 2 with a smile as he landed on my beast's back.

--Damn Brat, now you have a dragon?

--I'm looking for Shoto~ and I stopped by to say hello~

--Hmp...Where's Shoto~?

--If I knew, I wouldn't be looking for it~

I shrugged as I made Peterhausen do a loop in the sky, ripping through its fair share of vermin.

--... (This brat is getting stronger every time...)

--Well~ I'm at my limit~ see ya~ Endeavour~

I removed the ice structure and it vanished into thin air, dropping the two of us into the void. Endeavor stayed afloat in his jet boots while I simply glided to the ground in my trench coat, disappearing between the buildings.

--Tsk… that brat and his tricks.
