Chapter 4: Sadist
I don't really consider myself a righteous man. I do things that I want to do, avoid those I don't want to involve myself in, and finish what I start.
I seem to have developed a certain type of hatred towards some villains.
The one on my list, whom I have to stop at all cost, is soon going to make his appearance.
That guy with his sadistic nature. How many lives has he ruined by now? I will make sure to stop him.
A well-crowded street, bustling with energy. The criminals waiting in the dark.
In an alley far from the crowd, a huge figure could be seen with a very sinister smile.
Muscular, the guy who killed kota's parents 2 years before the canon started.
I have been searching for him to stop that from happening. I did think about asking Uncle Might's help in this, but quickly discarded the idea. All Might would grab a lot of attention, which might make the villain go back to his hiding.
Yes, I did say Uncle Might. We have been family friends since my mom healed him. She does check up on him from time to time to monitor his condition.
All Might was kind enough to include both of us in his little secret of One For All. Not that I didn't know about it, but still, it was heartwarming to hear it from him. To know that he trusts us to share something so important.
I did had my initial spar with him, which I had asked for, and as you might have guessed, he completely bodied me. I was still lacking in a lot of things, from techniques to experience.
What I truly lacked was real life combat experiences. In some ways, my dad would try not to hurt me, which didn't help much in gaining real-life experiences.
And I did try to heal his injuries. The accelerated healing part did help a lot, but the lost organs were out of my reach. I don't have the power of creation of all things or something like that which could magically bring back someone even from death's clutches.
He was still very thankful for whatever I did though. Having the backing of the best hero sure is reassuring.
Now, here I am standing on the rooftop, about to do something quite foolish.
Since I have never met Muscular in my life, I don't know his body signature. The best way to track him down right now would be to follow the Water Hose heros.
They were my best bet at finding him. Since, it was around this point in timeline that they got butchered by him, it would be best to follow them from a distance.
Fighting an A-rated villian like Muscular is still very dangerous, even for someone like me.
But I have no other option. I have to stop him today.
I slowly move closer to the alleway, trailing behind them.
I can sense two presence in that direction. One is a strong one at that. It must be him.
Muscular's Pov:
The people in the street looks too happy. I can't wait to start tearning apart everything in my way.
I will finish this kid first.
"Stop right there."
Tch, it's those puny heros again.
"What do we have here, two heros coming to uphail justice".
"We won't let you hurt him." A man in red jacket like suit came forward and thew water on me.
"You guys should wait for your turn. I will be done with this kid in a minute."
After that, I saw a blue ball-like thing closing in on me.
....…
"Rasengan !"
Waaahm
The rasengen collided with his left arm, causing him to wrench in pain.
"You guys should take that kid and move somewhere safe."
As I picked up the civilian, I made sure to accelerate his healing and slowly placed him with the Water Hose heros.
"You can't take him on alone. He is a very dangerous villian."
"I will be fine. Worry about the kid first."
They were reluctant to go, but after seeing the kid's condition, they started heading back, saying they would bring help.
"You made a grave mistake attacking me like that."
As Muscular started wrapping his quirk around himself, I quickly entered Sage Mode again.
We dashed towards eachother in a single line. Our hands moved forward, going for a straight punch.
Clash
A tremor could be heard when our fists collided. We both backed off from eachother due to the impact.
I had to use the proper amount of strength since we are in a cramped area between two buildings.
Ugh, this is not the best place to have picked up a fight with him. No complaining now. Even if I did fight him in a bigger space, it would have been in the open streets, which is a big no for me since I don't have my provisional hero's license.
We exchange a few more blows. I wanted to see how far my durability would take me in Sage Mode. I can easily tank hits from him but I am not sure for how long.
"Tch, a weak guy like you has no place coming at me."
"Weak? You must be mistaken about something.
This is not a fight, Muscular.
This will be a complete one-sided beatdown.
You will be sorry to have been born in this world."
His face twisted into an even uglier shape than before.
He must be pissed.
"Show me your blood, hero."
He lunged at me, with an even faster speed than before.
I started gathering more nature energy towards me. This might be the first time since crossing over that I am taking in this amount of energy within me.
Visible tattoo-like markings spread across my body.
"Sage Arts: Full body Armour".
These markings reminds me of Hashriama's sage mode. It has similar visual effects to that. Is this the complete sage mode? Hashirama was said to have had a perfect sage mode. There is also the Sage of Six Path's Sage Mode, which could even kick away something like the Truth-Seeking Orbs with ease. There must be more forms of sage mode that I still don't know of. I don't know how far my quirk would take me.
Chakra is supposed to increase with accordance to age. Since Sage Chakra is similar, it might follow the same pattern.
"What, he feels different now."
"Sage Arts: Ultimate Strike".
Bang
Muscular went crashing into the wall, causing debris to fall all over the place.
I can still feel life from him.
"That caught me by surprise, I didn't think you were physically strong too."
He seems to have concentrated all of his muscle fiber at the last second.
"I will make sure to tear all of the limbs from your body."
Before he could say anything more, I delivered a downward rounhouse kick towards him.
This time the surrounding damages was minimal. He is still awake though.
This is even better.
"Sage Arts: 100 consecutive strikes".
Muscular tried his best to defend against all of my attacks, but his muscle fibres weren't strong enough to withstand them.
"You are merely just a bug.
I have marked your life energy. If I ever feel your presence again, I will squash you like an ant".
He is barely breathing right now.
I pulled his hair and smashed his head knocking him out cold.
As I looked around, I sense a lot of presence drawing closer to me.
The police must have surrounded the area by now.
I don't want my identity to be exposed. I am not even in a hero course yet.
If I am caught, I will surely be detained for unauthorized quirk useage.
I have to find a way to escape without being seen.
