BNHA: Accelerator The Strongest Hero

After the police and other heroes arrived and took away the incapacitated Takashi Hatsuya, Accelerator received a call from Endeavor at home.

"You did pretty well overall this time."

"I think so too."

"But regarding the handling of the criminal, I must seriously tell you that in society's view, your actions today were slightly over the line."

"Stop with the empty talk. It's just illegal, there's a clear difference from crossing the line. I've been respecting societal norms." 

(A/N: The one-size-fits-all approach to Quirk usage has many issues. Before serialization, probably no one delved too deep into it. Non-heroes using Quirks are seen as powerful thugs, which is too one-sided. What about self-defense and acting bravely for a just cause? So here, I treat superpowers like firearms, as in Academy City. The essence of professional heroes in my English version is Quirk police who can legally use firearms. Dangerous Quirks are registered and strictly monitored.)

"If my actions really crossed the line, wouldn't you have acted already? Endeavor."

Upon hearing Accelerator's words, Endeavor seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

"Hmph, you're not wrong."

"But you should know that if I weren't your guardian, and the young lady from the Shokuhou family hadn't helped you clean up, you'd already be on the police department's special danger watchlist."

"I get it. Anyway, lists like that probably have my name all over them. I don't care about these things."

He truly didn't care about such surveillance, but Accelerator would only care about the impact on Endeavor and Shokuhou from the police department and society.

"However, considering your activity in the two incidents, both I and the Shokuhou family unanimously recommend you to the U.A. High School. Of course, a recommendation doesn't mean there's no assessment."

"And as a slight punishment for crossing the line this time, you have to attend a course at a public school we've arranged for a while. Then, within half a year, you need to get a public recommendation from that school, and you can legitimately participate in the U.A. High School recommendation assessment."

"Hey, I didn't agree to become a professional hero, did I?"

Accelerator interrupted Endeavor's words, strangely, there didn't seem to be any particular resistance in his emotions.

"In daily training, although I didn't specifically use Quirk, I'm very clear that you have a power that's different from ours at the essence of Quirk. There should be more ways to alleviate the burden you're unwilling to speak of. We're just giving you a more correct choice on top of your existing ones. As for how to choose, that's something you need to consider."

".....How redundant."

One step, one footprint, accumulated, can slowly repay the big mistakes made in the past, slowly repay the huge debt, huh? What are you hesitating about, Accelerator?

"Alright, I'll go, okay? As you wish."

Endeavor's rare laughter came from the other end of the phone, Accelerator found the sound really grating and immediately hung up.

Since that battle, Accelerator, who had come to this world after experiencing a certain event after crossing over, had integrated new beliefs from this world into his originally dilapidated concepts. But even so, it still couldn't change the pride deep in Accelerator's bones.

He didn't think he would lose to anyone in this world in a pure power showdown, but for professional heroes, Accelerator had great respect and admiration, because he couldn't be sure if he could make the same correct choices if he were in their shoes.

He wanted to observe those of his age who aimed to be heroes up close, to deepen his understanding of the concept of heroes in his heart, to understand the original heroes, to analyze them, to parse the key points.

Identify the problem, define the problem scope, organize the problem, analyze the problem core, solve the problem difficulty, solve the problem, this is the modern rational thinking mode advocated by Academy City, Accelerator is undoubtedly the king of using this thinking mode. When encountering problems like beliefs that can't be easily understood, solving them through observation, analysis, and practice is the most intuitive and effective method.

So, this is one of the reasons why Accelerator agreed to Endeavor, not just because the people of this world, like Endeavor and Shokuhou, showed him unprecedented goodwill.

It's more about Accelerator wanting to understand, if everyone in the world has their own position, then where is his place in this different world, and what kind of position he will have.

Thinking about these things, he walked out of the house for a stroll to the convenience store, and bought some sports drinks on the way. The stock in the fridge was not enough, and the high-intensity daily routine would consume these things.

Endeavor has completely handed over the necessities of food and cooking to Saten Ruiko.

When he got home, it was already 7:30 in the evening, and Accelerator saw that Saten Ruiko was already busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, so he simply lay on the sofa and started browsing the news.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Saten Ruiko efficiently completed the dinner for two.

Ruiko served the dinner on the table and then sat down across from Accelerator.

The two of them put their palms together and said,

"Let's eat."

Dinner is very different from lunch. The main course of the evening meal is rice steamed in a wooden barrel, just like at noon. Under the light, the grains of rice are shining.

The main dish of fried chicken nuggets, according to Accelerator's lunch suggestion, his portion was added in full, while Ruiko's portion was a normal amount. The skin of the fried chicken nuggets was fried golden brown, and it was as delicious inside and out as it looked.

The skin of the fried chicken nuggets was golden, crispy and refreshing, the chicken inside was tender and elastic, and it also contained a small amount of chicken juice, which made the taste even better. Paired with fresh vegetables cut into bite-sized pieces after disinfection, and a thoughtful Thai sauce, there was no feeling of greasiness from eating fried chicken nuggets, and he could eat one piece after another to get such a satisfying experience.

"I have to say, your cooking skills are really good."

"The fried chicken nuggets are delicious, they go really well with rice!"

"Thank you, as long as you like it~"

Accelerator's love for meat is deep, possibly also related to brain demand. He likes the atmosphere of silently eating at the table without talking. This kind of time is a comfortable space for him.

Not to mention Endeavor, this girl named Saten Ruiko, who clearly showed a desire to chat with him when she first met him and in the kitchen, but not at the table. For this part-time cook, Accelerator is very satisfied, and the little thoughts in his heart at noon have long flown away.

After dinner, Saten Ruiko put the used bowls and chopsticks in the dishwasher, and then started to marinate the meat that will be used tomorrow.

"Um....Accelerator-kun, thank you for saving me today."

"???"

Accelerator was a bit surprised, after all, if he didn't pay attention to observe in the air at that time, he generally wouldn't be able to see him. He didn't expect Saten Ruiko to be more perceptive than ordinary people.

"You actually knew it was me?"

"Hehe, my eyesight is pretty good, at that time there were no other people around me, and you were the only one in the air in the distance, so of course I thought so."

"Lucky I didn't think wrong, otherwise it would be awkward."

"Speaking of which, how did that toy teddy bear get into your hands, Takashi Hatsuya?"

"Oh, actually, it's like this. After I finished my part-time job here, I was preparing to go home."

"On the way, I saw someone bullying and extorting others, and my phone was out of power, and I was a Quirkless... But the situation was urgent at that time, and I didn't care so much, I rushed out pretending to be a hero and luckily scared them away. Fortunately, this is Endeavor's area, otherwise it would be a big problem."

"Huh, I didn't expect you to be quite brave."

"Hehe, not at all~ I was actually very scared at that time."

He can't feel what Saten Ruiko was feeling when she encountered it, but he can imagine what it would be like for a girl, or a powerless person, to face such evil.

"So, that toy bear was actually a thank-you gift?"

"Um, you could say that... I didn't realize it was such a dangerous thing..."

Upon hearing the words "thank-you gift," Saten Ruiko expression seemed somewhat hesitant and scared.

"Not every time someone will save you, you know? Will you still stand up for strangers you don't know next time? Even if you might face unimaginable danger at the time? Wouldn't it be better to leave it all to the heroes?"

"But in that kind of situation, I can't think too much..."

"Of course, I would be scared of danger, but I won't regret it? I would still go, after all, that's all I can do."

"You're really amazing."

"Hehe, not at all~"

Hearing the praise from the person who saved her life, Saten Ruiko touched her head with her right hand and showed a shy but extremely cute smile. Seeing her, Accelerator felt something touched in his heart.

This world, just like his original world, is not lacking in those selfish, despicable, and shameless villains, but also has people who dare to reason with the evil deeds created by these villains, dare to face the imperfect world, stand up and strive to change the world.

Not limited to heroes, even the powerless girls around him have courage beyond ordinary people like heroes. Apart from the excellent qualities of the girl herself, one cannot ignore the deep influence of All Might on this world.

Those who are near vermilion get stained red, and those who are near ink get stained black. Even he who came to this world is no exception. The extreme evil and extreme good of human nature only account for one-tenth of the total population, and the remaining 80% of human beings accept the concept that is influenced by the so-called three views.

Accelerator actually very much wants to meet that legendary strongest hero, to see the All Might who supports the backbone of humanity in the boundless darkness, he wants to see what the other extreme of goodness is like face to face.
