Chapter 43: Targets

~Tatsumi POV~

Hmm…

After yesterday we all decided to take our time to collect the info about the internet as we tried to talk of who should go after who first as we made all the comments of who we want to go after a group or by ourselves.

Till a while, we all finally agreed to fight as a group in case something wrong goes down but will fight the heroes by ourselves considering there are 4 of us and the remaining 9 left. Plus, we all tried to see how we would fair against actually trained heroes as warmups.

Of course, we aren't going to be arrogant about our targets as we want to test ourselves how we match up since the first quest.

I have to admit though Saeko, Hinata, and I wanted to test ourselves, Ruby wanted to fight together as a team. But when we talked to her that we technically are taking care of their backups known as sidekicks she easily agreed.

So, in agreement, we took our time to get used to our situation as we began to take a few days to get used to this world but we also took this chance to see their quirks to know what to exactly expect in case of actual danger as well as study their habits before we make any moves.

The first one would be Saeko against the 2nd Pro Hero Endeavor in a one-on-one fight and with her stand [Silver Chariot] to help her out against his fire it should be a walk in the park for her as well gain some battle experience in the process.

[Hellflame]: Enji's Quirk allows him to produce and manipulate large amounts of extremely intense fire at will. He appears to be immune to other flames and can easily control the shape and temperature of the blaze as well. Using too much of his power will overheat Endeavor's body, causing a depletion of stamina, and an impairment of his physical functions.

The second one would be Ruby against the 9th Pro Hero Lady Nagant while her aim at a sniper is good against Ruby's speed, I'm afraid that she's outmatched against Ruby in that regard, but it would keep Ruby on her toes as well.

[Rifle]: Kaina's also known as Lady Nagant Quirk allows her to extend a rifle from her right elbow. She can extend a tendril from her rifle that she can curl up to form a scope.

She can also create various types of bullets, such as hollow-point bullets and curving bullets, from her hair by twisting and molding her bi-colored locks like Epoxy putty and hardening it to be as strong as any ammo. The range of her rifle fire is 3 kilometers.

The third one would be Hinata going against the 3rd Hero Hawks as her [Byakuan] she will have an easier time tracking him down as well as pinpoint his body even if his flying himself up in the air so long as Hinata can find him using her Chakra and pressure points his body it will be her win. Plus, Hinata has Fire Jutsu on her side so it's going to be an easy counter.

[Fierce Wings]: Hawk's Quirk grants him a pair of large, bright red, feathery wings on his back. These wings allow him to fly, and he can telekinetically control the movement and nature of each feather with ease, enabling him to harden them into a blade-like state and/or shoot them as projectiles, as well as control their speed and trajectory.

As for me, I chose to go against Miriko actually to see how exactly I can stack up against her and quite possibly convince her to our group. We talked about who to join but it seems to us that we all decided to see she can join.

[Rabbit]: Rumi's Quirk gives her the attributes and abilities of a rabbit. This grants her incredible leg strength, allowing her to jump and kick with extreme force; she can even destroy large chunks of the ground by thumping her foot. She also has excellent hearing thanks to her rabbit-like ears and possesses animal instincts that alert her to nearby danger.

We all talked about who and see who was most suitable for us to join our group after a while of debating it came down to her mostly because what I knew of my personality is practically the same as this version.

Rumi is tough and speaks her mind, even if it causes confrontation, and she respects those who do the same. Rumi seems to believe that heroes who join teams are cowards, as they could just be relying on their teammates' strength rather than their own.

Rumi embraces life-threatening situations with a bright grin and is constantly searching for the next big adrenaline kick, smiling in the face of danger.

She does not back down, even when she is overpowered by stronger enemies, claiming to only get warmed up. Rumi also appears to take every day of her life with no regrets, admitting she'd risk her life for the greater good.

But if she were to disagree then we cut our losses and look for someone else.

We took this to currently reread all of the info about our opponents as all decided to take this chance to observe our targets as well as figure out the correct time to attack.

As we are all inside the building we all began to talk to each other as we try to figure out the best plan of attack as we all discussed what to do as Saeko was the first to begin, "Ok everyone we pretty much have our targets but now comes the big question. How exactly are we going to force them to our fight exactly?"

That's a good question on how to get our targets by themselves…

Thinking of it there is one place I know that happens to have all the heroes in one place as I spoke out in my mind to them, "Well… there is maybe one chance to get them all in one place."

As I spoke out my mind Ruby then talked to me about which location as she said innocently enough, "Wait really? There is a place for us to get the chance to fight them all in one go?"

Nodding my head I open up the laptop and began going to the news of what happened during the USJ Incident as we see how that turned up because our interference has done.

~Third POV~

A few days have passed since the U.S.J. attack and a public announcement was made to keep the people at peace.

The U.A. Highschool had to cancel for a few days to prepare for a public announcement as well as do damage control especially cover for All Might now being treated in a private hospital room in U.A. Highschool for him to recover.

During the morning as a crowd of people were at the front of the high school with Nezu at the front of them along with other students as well.

The reporters and other members of the citizens were in disbelief of what has happened to the student's experience but more so what happened to the son of the 2nd Pro Hero. Nezu shook his head in discomfort as seeing a large number of reporters arrived only knowing the hell storm of a backlash is going to happen to the school public image.

Nezu seeing that the people aren't going to be calm he began to say his piece of what happened in a sad tone, "I know all of you have some questions and I the principal of U.A. will answer as many as I possibly can."

An ordinary reporter was the first to ask the question to Nezu in a curious tone, "Good, morning Nezu, from the sources we have gathered we have found that U.A. was attacked by villains during their training? What do you say about this?"

The reporter held in his smile as he and everyone else wanted to know what happened along with others hoping to get a big scop of what happened. Nezu seeing this already began to respond to the reporter of the question in a calm voice, "Yes, somehow the villains knew where they are training would be held and attacked us. They had a space quirk among them, so they were easily able to bypass the security measures of training grounds. We were completely caught off guard as our teachers were busy defending the students."

Next, another reporter asked to ask about the questions of the villains in question, "Then Mr. Nezu do you have any information about these criminals that done this?"

Nezu nodded his head as he glances at the people's camera showing his expressions to be normal as he began to talk in his usual cheerful manner, "Yes… they are called the League of Villains as they tried to attack our new generation of heroes. They also revealed the fact that they came after All Might to kill but instead, they only managed to annoy him."

That was a clear lie from Nezu as he was told beforehand to keep everything peaceful as possible as it came from the government to keep the hero society standing not wanting villains to act up when they learn that All Might is currently out of commission.

That satisfied one of their questions, but another reporter asked with a serious tone to the principal rodent, "In that case Mr. Nezu what about what happened to the second hero son Shoto Todoroki? From our sources, they say his currently in a coma unconscious from the sudden attack to the head causing a skull fracture damaging his brain in the process."

As the question was asked Nezu answered the question without skipping a beat of the response, "I'm afraid that despite that most of the citizens came out unscathed two of our students didn't Toru Hagakure was lucky to not receive any serious injuries but Shoto wasn't as lucky. Currently, we only have words a group of four did it and one has a transformation quirk acting like a lion as such we are already searching for the individuals."

Everyone, of the reporters, nodded at this but then another reporter asked another question as the reporter spoke, "I see but Principal Nezu sir how did the second pro hero Endeavor react to the sudden attack of his son?"

Sighing from the question Nezu once again replied to the reporters as he says in a serious tone to the reporter, "When the Pro Hero Endeavor heard the news how he reacted in his own words was this. I'll personally make sure to capture the bastard who has done this to my son."

That sent a shiver down to the reporters' spines as someone wanting to anger the number two hero and confidence of their second hero have a chance to capture the culprit. Knowing that trusting the hero's flashy quirks they can always put their faith in their powers and strengths.

The crowds sympathize with the hero wanting to take revenge for his son as the next reporter asked, "Mr. Nezu what about the sports festival how are you going to do it?"

Nodding to the reporter question Nezu responded to him with a kind tone as well as excitement as he spoke, "The U.A. sports festival will still occur in the next week, but this time our defenses would be increased as the top 10 ranked heroes have agreed to defend the place along with their sidekicks. That's how serious we are taking this threat in case any villain had any funny ideas. U.A. Highschool will not bend to villains' threats as we will take it seriously defending our students."

The reporters were surprised by such a statement having the majority of the top 10 ranked heroes with them as well as their sidekick. That was serious firepower for this event not even the most idiot villains would not do to attack.

The people cheered for the support as they continued to support the heroes.

Meanwhile, the Group Chat members viewing the video all looked at Tatsumi with some concern as Saeko was the first to speak with a soft smile, "Well looks like you have an angry admirer Tatsumi? You must feel really lucky."

Instead of being worried Tatsumi merely smiles at this as he responds to the members on how to capture Endeavor by surprise as he spoke, "Oh this makes this easier for us. All we need to do is use me as bait and lure him in alone to take on and while we're at it let's raid his agency for his technology. And since he wants me and is looking so, I'll save him the trouble. Saeko ready to fight?"

The response she gives was a smile as the other group chat members nodded their heads in agreement to help out if needed as they prepare to raid the Endeavor Agency.
