CHAPTER START---
Throughout Japan, while cities and regions all have proper names, some areas are more commonly -atleast among Pro Heroes and villains-, referred to as territories of the most prominent Hero Agency in the area.
Saitama Tokyo is commonly referred to as Endeavor's region, and Minato Tokyo is quickly becoming known as Horizon's Domain.
This smaller district on the other side of Japan didn't have many large villain attacks but was a main transit hub for smuggling and other illegal acts. Not as many fights, but the perfect place for Sir Nighteye's agency.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
This is how an agency with only four members has dominated this district and has made it known as Sir Nighteye's territory. Japan's leading investigation Hero Agency, currently only being challenged by Horizon.
And currently under the mid-day sun, Sir Nighteye's golden boy, Mirio Togata in full Hero Costume as Japan's 4th most popular Hero Course student, Lemillion, was on patrol.
His smile seemed infectious as he walked through the street, politely greeting everyone he walked past and turning down offers of small treats from the nearby shops.
Offers made by the same people he's been protecting for the past two years at Sir Nighteye's Hero Agency.
"Lemillion, you should come by later before heading back to the agency, I just made fresh Mochi!" one of the men yelled out from across the street. "You can take some back for everyone!"
Lemillion turns and gives a polite wave and smile, "if I finish patrol nearby I'll be sure to swing by!"
Beside him, Deku, in full Hero Costume, Sir Nighteye's 4th member, but only as a work studies student looked up to Lemillion. "Are people around here always giving you free stuff? I didn't expect everyone to be so...friendly."
"We're Heroes after all, we protect them. And in a small place like this it's good to know the people you're saving, don't you think?"
"Oh, I guess I never really thought about these slower days we'd have as Pros."
"Oh yeah, most days are like this around here, if you want more action you'd have to go work in Tokyo...well maybe not Minato or Saitama Tokyo, Endeavor and Horizon don't really let anyone else get a chance to work."
"Yeah, Gran Torino mentioned that more populated areas have more crime," Deku looks a bit sad at the memory of his dead mentor. "But Sir Nighteye is all about investigation right, so I should focus on learning some of that while I'm here."
"Exactly, just focus on one thing at a time, the Work Studies is partly about learning how to run your own agency after all. Lots of heroes can teach you how to punch villains, but...and I don't mean to sound mean, but most of them can't run an investigation up to even my level, much less to the level of Sir, if any."
"Yeah, All Might said I'm similar to him in a way, maybe that's how."
"Hmm, All Might told you that?" Lemillion gives him a strange look. "Do you guys talk a lot?"
Hard choices now to save a million lives later.
But Overhaul only needs to pinch the bottom of his glove for Eri to get the hint, and she immediately gets away from Deku as if nothing happened and stands beside Overhaul.
"Good, now apologize to the heroes for causing trouble."
"I'm sorry," Eri gives a polite bow.
"So am I," Overhaul says as he gets ready to leave. "Have a wonderful day heroes."
As they both turn to walk into the alley, before they even get off the sidewalk.
Deku's mind races back to this exact situation. To the train he was on with Gran Torino. To his instincts screaming at him that Iida needed his help. To Gran Torino pinning him down and preventing him from leaving...to his friend dying because he chose to do nothing.
'Never again! I'll save EVERYONE!'
ONE FOR ALL: FULL COWLING- 10%!
Deku leaps forward before Lemillion could react, sweeps Overhaul's legs out from under him and snatches Eri up, then leaps a few meters away.
The girl is instantly holding onto Deku for dear life as she mutters a soft, "thank you," under her breath, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Lemillion's eyes go wide as Overhaul tries to pick himself up off the ground. People around the street all stop to look at the commotion.
Overhaul notices this and stays on the floor, raising a hand to point at Deku.
Lemillion makes most of his body permeable, ready to engage and back up his friend now that they're in this situation.
But Overhaul doesn't engage, he's a charming leader of an underground gang. He can't go around flaunting his Quirk and fighting heroes in the street. He can't risk revealing his operation or worse, his ties with Shigaraki.
He can't risk the government sending its big guns after him, living in this mostly quiet district with only one weak agency was perfect for his operation.
So as a master of understanding the law and public perception, he turns on the charm.
"HELP, HE'S TAKING MY DAUGHTER!"
And just like that, all the fight got knocked out of Deku and Lemillion, and moments later two other nearby Pro Heroes were on the scene to investigate the misconduct of these provisional license holders...
