Aftermath

The man who has caused the release of the exploding villains can be seen observing the chaos from a rooftop on a rather tall building.

Though different from what he expected, he didn't even achieve to see the biggest of the exploding villains detonate itself. Instead, it was frozen by some brat that he has no information about, quickly making him scrunch up his face in anger.

Part of him expected All Might to come to solve the problem or an overwhelming amount of heroes, but never in his wildest dreams did he expect teens to resolve the problems.

Now he is looking at a scene where all the 60,000 potential casualties are being evacuated safely down from the Sky Egg, while everyone helped each other by distributing food, water, and spare clothes.

The man who is known as Number 6 by his Masters is now greatly annoyed at the scene he is looking at, "What's with this soft and feel-good mood? It's a bit too soon to celebrate dontcha think!?"

"You think you have me beat, but only because I was holding back yet! Let's see your smiling faces now when you're all dead!", Number 6 exclaimed as he began punching in commands in a speedy manner on his phone.

"LET'S SEE YOU HANDLE THIS!"

-AT THE SCENE-

The trio who was originally waiting for their ride decided to help around since it was taking longer than expected, probably due to traffic.

Kaga even managed to strike up a convo with her future teacher, "Eyebags-san! You're here as well...rather late to the party don't you think?"

Aizawa only raised an eyebrow at his given nickname, "And you're rather early to every problem...", he simply responded back to how he ran into her once when she dealt with the Instant Villain horde near Naruhata Mall...and now this.

"Fufu~ Shouldn't we three already be getting Hero licenses? We did SAVE 60,000 people y'know", Kaga joked about instantly getting Hero Licenses.

"With your family's connections, I'm pretty sure you can get one instantly", Aizawa said as he handed out bottled water to those in need and reminded them to get medical help if needed.

Kaga hearing this instantly shook her head, "Those aren't my achievements, no? This event right here can be considered mine, Captain Celebrity's, Shoto's, and Himiko's! But the connections of my family? Nope...will never claim an instant pass with that!"

"Never expected that from you", he said with his usual monotone lack of sleep tone of voice.

*SLRP!*

*WORMP*

*SLARP*

Before Kaga could think of a comeback, the sounds of flesh smacking one another could be heard from her sensitive ears, Kaga instantly thought of the exploding villains that were merging.

"SHOTO, HIMIKO, ICE!", Kaga ordered both Shoto and Himiko and they swiftly followed, since they have come to trust her senses, Aizawa, on the other hand, was confused but still readied himself nonetheless since the command sounded serious.

With Kaga's order, Shoto immediately transferred into his 'Human Glacier' mode, basically the opposite of his full-body fire, but both are still taxing for his body.

Himiko on the other hand just readied the right side of her body, since there was still some juice left from Shoto's quirk after consuming the blood pills.

*RUMBLE*

And right on time, a mound of flesh exploded in growth as it gathered the scattered flesh from all deceased exploding villains, making it look like a deformed alien with huge bulges of meat hanging on any angle.

But the trio not giving it any time to grow any further began blasting ice towards it, with the sudden drop in temperature, the movement of the growing monster slowed down heavily.

The Heroes watching on the side immediately came out of their stupor and went into action by readying their attacks but not before getting a stern warning from Kaga, "If you Heroes could actually think, normal physical attacks do nothing since it can regenerate! You'll only scatter its flesh!"

With Kaga's words, some of the more physically oriented Heroes decided to help out in evacuating the nearby citizens who were near the fleshy monstrosity by carrying them.

Soon enough, a crystallized flesh mound can be seen in the middle of the area, with its inside and outside both frozen solid.

To totally destroy it, with Kaga's masterful manipulation of ice, she imagined the frozen structure to crumble into tiny little grains. With the ice following her will, it started to vibrate wildly until it started to shatter into tiny little pieces.

At first, everyone began to despair and think of negative thoughts since if one of the small ones can do so much damage, just imagining the damage of one that is already significantly taller than the Dragoon Hero: Ryukyu can do.

Truth be told if any punch were to burst one of the "bulging" flesh, they would soon find out that numerous tiny ones were actually being made inside of it, ready to be set free and cause havoc.

Kaga was now thanking her Sensei for beating the living crap out of her since she managed to gain some form of Danger Instinct, and it's now showing its fruits!

(All she knows is, it's dangerous near her, that's all. Basically like an animal's)

Kaga who was now looking at the cold dusted remains of the monster couldn't help but feel that they were being watched since she already knows that these monsters are mindless, which means it must be following something to act accordingly.

Kaga who did not like this feeling began boosting all the blood within her body, she then started observing the building's rooftop, and if her accelerated brain. Everything was just so slow-moving, giving her enough time to search for whoever she deems suspicious.

After landing her site in the direction of where a smoking building was, she began focusing on the general area there since she guessed that those exploding villains came from there...so the villain watching must also come from there.

'It's also where Mr. Aizawa's helicopter came from, so I'm most likely correct...and the reason they came here is to give chase.', Kaga deduced so she felt even more confident in searching in this direction.

And bingo! Kaga soon spotted a man looking at their spot with a pair of binoculars, "Now...look who spotted who~", she muttered to herself, but to others who were looking at her they'd probably only hear gibberish as she was essentially moving fast.

Immediately running towards the man's location by jumping across from rooftop to rooftop and not caring whether she was seen...since she was after all...confident in her tracking abilities.

As she neared the man who was probably too slow to realize the danger that was approaching him was already wondering why the fox girl suddenly blurred out of existence...the weird thing was it felt like HE was the one being stared at.

The moment he removed the binoculars away from his eyes, he was greeted with a fist coming right for his face.

*CRACK!*

Number 6, who wasn't suspecting anything couldn't even react to the punch as he was just too surprised, or hasn't come to realize that his quirk [Overclock] activated forcefully due to his fight or flight response...resulting in accelerating his thought perception dozens of times over.

What does this mean? It just means that even with Number 6's fast thought acceleration, the speed of the punch in front of him hasn't stopped midair like usual. Instead, this punch came in like a fast one!

With Kaga's unbeatable speed, her punch caved into the skull of the man, cracking everything in its way. With everything still slowed down, she proceeded to maim the guy's legs and arms and then freezing them for good measure.

The moment she unboosted her body, she grabbed the ankle of the clueless man, whose body was being forced in the opposite direction from Kaga after the imperceptible impact she just caused.

(Basically punch forward, but she grabbed his ankle so that he wouldn't be blown off)

When the man came to it, he was greatly alarmed by the sudden pain he was experiencing right now. His instinct told him to run to make space and to observe the situation...but the thing is...he can't!

With Kaga finally now having a clear view of the man, she straight away recognized him as Number Six, one of the main antagonist in the series, a fast one too!

"Wh-WHO ARE YOU!?", he stammered, clearly not used to people surprising him, especially with the use of his 'own' speed quirk.

Kaga ignored his plea of wanting to find out who she was and decided to just ignore it, "Someone...faster than you~", she said and proceeded to punching the living lights out of the man.

With the man unconscious, she layered him in a cocoon of ice and quickly stored him in her storage space in stopped time. Of course, as she did this, she surrounded herself in a concentrated blizzard, obscuring the view of her action. 'Can never be too careful.', she thought.

*Breeze*

When the wind blew downward she was able to catch a smell of a person, looking to where the smell orginated from, she saw a masked figure with a sniper rifle looking at her weirdly.

'Seems familiar, but let's just make sure'

Not wanting to leave any trace, she boosted herself once again and rushed to the man. When she was just right behind the man she instantly recognized the person with his bandana like mask, a large trenchcoat, and cargo pants.

'Isn't this that Vigilante master of The Crawler?', she thought and proceeded to tap the guy's shoulder, surprisingly the guy wasn't startled or at least had a violent reaction.

"What does the missy want?", he said in a gruff voice, clearly expecting for her to appear near him right after he just witnessed her take down his target.

"How about we strike a deal, Mr. O'clock or Knuckleduster-san, which do you prefer?", she said in a calm voice since she knew that as long as you're not suspicious the man before her won't try and send a brass knuckle towards the person's face.

"Surprisingly you know such information, but I'm listening.", the gruffy man said but was still wary and was ready to press the explosives that he planted on this roof that was prepared for his target if things went south.

"You provide me information with whoever you're trying catch or any villain activity that will target the Asakura Family, while we return to you your quirk...without any government body knowing...but that depends on your ability to keep it a secret from them."

Kaga said her deal, which was a solid one, with whoever this Knuckleduster guy is trying to catch he is bound to stumble upon information. In short, Kaga is treating the man as a web like security.

Knuckleduster was quite surprised about the deal, since ever since he became a vigilante he has relied on experience, tactic, and plans to defeat people with quirks.

"I have no reason to refuse, where do we meet?"

"Just visit our family's residence, I'm pretty sure you know where that is, and with that I'm off!", said Kaga and immediately went to return to her best friends.

For what seemed like dozens of minutes, in the real world it was actually only two minutes at best, and most of that time was spent on conversing!

"Wasn't she just here?"

"I don't know...probably in the next chapter she'll appear"
