A challenger has approached!.

Rui dodges the first attempt to capture him – a tackle – rather easily. Just a sidestep left the man flying away from him. But when 20 other people surround you at once, you have got to take things seriously.

The blood in his veins flow faster, leading to his eyes comprehension being much better. He blocks a punch and returns two back to the opponent. A duck from a chain and he sends a sweeping kick to the shin.

Bodies start flopping one after another while Rui quickly dismantles them one by one. All attempts by the heroes to stop him was all for naught, as they hadn't even come close to touching him.

Rui senses a powerful strike coming in from behind. He twists his body only to find that the balled-up fist is just inches away from his face. He can tell this punch will do tremendous damage if it connects.

He swaps position with a nearby pole, and when he sees the effect that punch had on the pole, he instead saw a depression in the stadium.

'So powerful! It may not have killed me but that was still pretty damn powerful,' he admits.

Looking at the figure, it was a muscular man wearing a spandex. The spandex had bright colors, such as yellow and red. The tight fitting made the muscles pop, leading into an intimidating pressure. The man turned to face Rui. His face was serious, almost mad.

"What brings you into this school, boy?" he asked.

"Just here to watch the festival. Not here to cause trouble sir," Rui retorted.

"Well it has got to stop. You are in U.A High, my school," the man says as he launches off to face Rui.

Rui grins as he launched off to meet the man, but he is a bit faster. Rui got the first punch in to the face, and then twists his body to avoid one to his torso. Rui got more punches in while dodging the punches to his body.

But he got careless. Once that man got a lucky punch to his chest, Rui coughed out blood. That distracted him for a while which allowed the man to give a quick barrage of punches. Punch after punch, the crowd who were seeing the battle from a safe distance, began cheering louder and louder. The crowd was thinking the hero was about to win, and it did seem like it. The villain was getting pummeled incessantly and there seem to be no end.

That moment, Rui remembered what Garou had hammered in his mind time and time again.

'As a child, heroes always were always winning and I didn't know why. The villains always had to lose, even if they worked harder and smarter than everyone else. That is why I despise heroes. They also make the citizens work less harder. Always depending on them.' (A/N: I have no idea what exactly his ideology is, I got the gist of it I think)

Rui gets even more heated as he hears more and more people cheering. Their cheers disgust him to the point of madness.

He catches both of his fist which surprised the crowd.

"Annoying fuck," Rui spat.

He bends both fists, cracking the wrist bones which sends the hero kneeling before him. Rui sends a kick to the chin and the man floats a bit. Rui pulls the man close to him and lets go of the hands.

He used his strongest martial arts yet, the Strongest Fist. It channels all energy and power in the body into one single point, the fist to maximize the damage output on the opponent. Though it can only be used once, as it leaves the user extremely tired.

As the man comes flies closer to him, he unleashes his punch which sends the man flying. The man crashes into the seats but doesn't stop there. He got sent past the seats and into the carpark outside where he drives himself into the cement ground.

Exhausted, Rui has no intent to continue any sort of fight. He escapes by leaping of the stadium and disappearing into thin air.

———————————

"All Might after his battle with the vigilante, now dubbed Hero Hunter, is reported to be in a coma, our sources say." The report sends questions of uncertainty into the innocent minds of Japan. What will happen to Japan's security? Is there anyone who can fill in the enormous hole in everyone's heart?

However, this news hit harder than most for three particular children.

In the Midoriya household, Izuku watches the news and tears start to flow out uncontrollably. The man who he idolized for years had been defeated and forced into a coma. His mentor is gone. The one who was supposed to lead him into the world of heroes is gone. How is he supposed to go on?

In the Bakugou household, Katsuki stared at the screen in disbelief. The man who he was supposed to surpass is in the hospital for an unspecified amount of time. The man who defeated him as well, he doesn't seem that much older than him. He would have to do something about it. He doesn't know what, but he should do something.

In the Todoroki household, Shoto much like Katsuki, stared at the screen in disbelief. However, he was in disbelief in the sense that there was someone stronger than All Might. That boy who looked young enough to be in high school had seemingly fought on par and bested him with medium difficulty. What did that mean for him? For his father? Will that mean his father had someone new to overtake now? The gap seems monstrous though.
