(Later that night)

-John's house-

[John's P.O.V]

I scoured through the internet for information on low-tier districts, Looking for websites or documents That detailed what took place and/or who was in charge. Whether a gang took over or an elite-tier or a high-tier.

I finally came across a certain site with a few names on it, a particular one caught my eye.

Gale?

Why does that name seem so familiar, I feel like I heard it before... Oh yes I almost forgot, That was my old Name.

So... Gale, a 3.4 mid-tier.

Wait, 3.4? That's pretty strong for a mid-tier. And his ability's name is rods

Ok so I assume it can make rods of varying sizes with varying lengths and varying thickness. They're not so much since he's a mid-tier. And he's probably buffed up by amplifiers which would boost his overall level to a decent 5. 1

So it's safe to assume that he's a high tier, is similar to Lennon in fighting style except he would dodge more with few means of defending himself using his ability. He might even try to come in close quarters combat with a bigger shaft.

Why am I even preparing again? I'm almost double this dudes level even when he is amplified. I am outside of harm's way unless I am dampened which is unlikely unless I'm jumped by multiple Ember agents at once which is also almost impossible after all they mostly work alone and certainly won't catch a newbie on their first night.

Right?

Anyway, let's move out.

I activated time manipulation and bolted out of the house with my costume inside of a bag.

I was running towards to city's train station as this Gale person was a decent distance from here.

----------------------------------------

-Wellston train station-

[Narrator's P.O.V]

John didn't have to wait too long as the train quickly arrived within three minutes of him being at the train station.

'Let's see... Oh there it is; Kucas district. It's not close by any means with it being twenty stops away,' John thought.

'Well what did I expect, it's a low-tier district.'

Time passed quickly for the ambitious god-tier, with him using his phone as a distraction from the hour long journey.

"Kucas district, Kucas district," the speaker sounded.

"Finally, I'm here," John chuckled, mumbling to himself.

"Took this train long enough," the teenager finished before proceeding to bolt out of the station.

Running across the street with only the lights emanating from the lampposts to guide him on the road.

And then comming to a halt quickly afterwards.

After searching for a relatively dark alley, John switched his clothes to his costume before leaving to continue his little stroll.

He was now in the center of the low-tier district.

Quickly approaching the door of a house where you could see light coming out of the windows, John decided it would be best to knock to gather information on his target's whereabouts.

'Here goes nothing.'

*Ring**Ring*

"..."

'No answer? I guess it wouldn't be very smart to open the door at this time considering how weak they are,' He thought to himself.

Despite receiving no answer, he tried again.

After still not getting any reply despite his efforts, he decided to switch houses.

'Poor guys were probably afraid of me,' he pitied them, but that was the reason why he came to save them in the first place.

*Ring**Ring*

It was only after ringing the bell a second time, that the occupants finally

spoke.

"Please leave us alone! We don't have anything else left to give you people-"

"Wait, don't misunderstand! I'm not here to take anything from you, I just need some information on where Gale and his goons are and if you don't know, can you at least point me to someone who might?" The raven haired teen clarified.

"I'm sorry, we don't have what you are looking for! Only Gale and the members of his gang know! I'm really sorry!!"She yelled back with fear permeating the sound of her voice.

'Wow, what a waste of time, next house it is then.'

"Hey you, what are you doing here?! You're supposed to be back at your house so we can collect the protection fee!" A voice sounded from behind the god-tier.

A group of adults consisting of multiple men and women was what greeted his eyes as he turned to face them.

"A Pikachu mask? You look absolutely ridiculous!" A female member mocked the newcomer.

"He's probably not from around here Jim, that's probably why he doesn't know about the curfew." Another theorized.

"Your friend is correct, I'm not from around here. I assume you're Gale's underlings. If you are, can you please show me where he is. I'd appreciate if you do," The channel master informed them politely.

Unfortunately, this only seemed to anger them.

"Are you serious?! You come here out of nowhere telling us to bring you to our leader as if you own the place. Do you have a death wish or something?!" The tallest in the group yelled in outrage.

"Whoa chill there man, why are you so mad? I don't want to fight you. Just tell me where he is and I'll be on my way. Otherwise, I'll have to take that information by force."

Hearing this, they all laughed before activating their abilities and charging at John who sighed helplessly before responding in kind.

'Ignorance is bliss,' John chuckled to himself.

"I don't know who you are but you're going to regret talking to us like that!" A blue haired woman yelled before shooting missile projectiles towards him whilst the rest attacked too.

John didn't even bother copying their powers and simply let them hit him using his base ability's 7.0 defense to tank all the attacks without suffering a single scratch.

Seeing their attacks have no effect on the Pikachu wearing vigilante, one off the men recoiled in shock.

"Is he a high-tier like Gale? We didn't even scratch him!"

"I'm going to ask again... and this time I will be much less kind." John warned.

"...Where is Gale?"
