章 513: 513. Iroh's Day Out
It turned out, nobody came to save Tomura. Alexander put that matter aside and started focusing on the world at hand. He was currently busy traveling the world and fixing many hero organizations. There was corruption, ignorance, and unaccountability no matter where he went so it was a lot of work.
The world respected him so he had to act with the same level of action. If Alexander knew that he'd become so busy, he would have never announced his return.
While this was happening, news of a new hero spread around Japan.
It was said that this hero looked old, noble, and was most of the time seen drinking tea. The crazy thing was, this hero never raises his fist, he always defeats his enemy by talking to them and sharing tea and no, he didn't poison them.
His words somehow change the hearts of the villains and it convinces them to become good. A small cult also appeared out of nowhere that called him their guru. Later it was found out that this cult was formed by villains who had a change of heart after meeting this strange hero.
...
Iroh had come out of Phixheim as he was a successful entrepreneur of tea now. He didn't have to worry about mending the fields because he had hired the phoenixes for that.
He wanted to travel the world now. So, he went out with his tea kettle and dressed in his oriental dress. He walked around randomly without any destination.
He had just started his journey when he saw a man entering a shop with his arms that looked like a gun.
Iroh decided to go in and see what the problem was.
"GIVE ME THE MONEY! NOW!"
*Bells*
The robber saw someone enter the shop with a shocked face. ~Why is he not scared?~ He wondered.
"What are you doing, young man?" Iroh asked nicely.
"Can't you see, I am robbing this shop. You too, give me your money." The robber pointed his other gun-hand at Iroh.
Iroh gave him his wallet. Then he took out 2 gold coins from another pocket.
"Young man, do you have a mother?" Iroh asked.
"Of course I do, everyone has a mother." The robber answered with an annoyed face.
"Then here, take this. Buy your mother a few good gifts. Tell her that you found a good job. She won't be able to take it if you told her you're a robber now. She would feel that the little sweet boy she dotted on turned bad because she didn't focus on you more.
"But worry not, I'm sure she will still love you. Mothers are the strangest creatures, they can't hate their children. Young man, take the money but do not kill. That cashier also has a mother, she will cry if she sees his lifeless body. Can you make a mother cry?" Iroh asked in his old and wise voice.
The robber's legs shook a little. He looked at the cashier's crying face. Then he imagined his own mother crying for him, seeing his own dead body. His arms started shaking and tears welled up in his eyes.
He started questioning every single choice he made in his life. He looked at Iroh who was simply smiling and looking like a man of god.
"Would you like a cup of tea?" Iroh asked gently.
The robber nodded and received a cup. He drank it slowly. The warm tea reminded him of the warmth of his mother's hug whenever he would go home. She would cook him tasty meals no matter what the money condition was at home. She would compromise with her own life but take care of him.
~What the hell am I doing with my life?~ He thought.
"Tell me, why do you do this work?" Iroh inquired nicely.
The robber gulped and answered, "I... I come from a poor family. I wanted to get into the U.A. but they rejected my application as I wouldn't be able to afford the different kinds of fees there. I decide I will make them realize their mistake of refusing me."
"So you wanted to be a hero. Young man, a hero is not made by studying in a special school and getting a license. A hero is made from a firm will and a desire to help others. If you just want a job, you can still find many uses of your power and make money. You just need to think." Iroh advised him. He also poured a cup for the cashier who was scared a moment ago but now was relaxed.
The robber was interested, "W-What can my quirk do? It's just guns. They can only harm others."
"Hahaha, that is where you are wrong." Iroh laughed. His laugh didn't mock him but just made the robber feel like he was naive in front of this wise man.
"Can you please tell me?" The robber asked pleadingly.
"Tell me your name first," Iroh asked.
"Oh, my name is Jim."
"Okay, Jim. Let me tell you something. There are countless jobs out there. You need to find a job where you can utilize your quirk. You can join the army, become a carpenter by changing bullets with nails. You can become a bodyguard too. Being a hero is not the only way to make a good living.
"Think about those who don't have a very useful quirk. For example, imagine if you had the ability to make lights from your eyes like a bulb. You would still have been an ordinary worker then.
"But, now what you have is a good Quirk. Utilize it well." Iroh suggested him.
"Opportunities are not something that you look for. Opportunities are always there, you just have to jump and grab it." Iroh quoted.
Jim the robber looked at Iroh gratefully. His eyes showed a resolve now. He now knew what he must do.
"Thank you, I will make my mom proud this time. I will give her the life she deserves. I vow to never commit a crime." Jim said.
"Haha, I hope you will remember these vows. But, I wish that you will help someone in your life too. At least one person, help him/her if they are in trouble." Iroh said and walked away.
The cashier was so into his talks that he didn't even call the police. He looked at the robber carefully and said, "I hope you will keep your promise to that old man."
Jim nodded, "I will. Here, take my card. If you ever find yourself in trouble, call me."
The cashier was shocked to see the professional business card of a robber.
...
Iroh walked the road from there. Soon a car stopped on the side.
"Old man, do you need a lift?" The female driver asked. She was alone in her car and was bored. She wasn't worried about giving someone a lift because her quirk made her confident that she could deal with any problem.
Iroh nodded, "Thank you, young lady, I appreciate it. What is your name?"
"I'm Anna. Where are you headed?" She asked.
"I'm Iroh and I am headed to Wherever my destiny takes me. Do you mind if I drink tea?" He asked.
"No, please, go ahead."
Soon, Iroh had a cup in his hand and he started singing.
♫The world is moving fast,
Time won't forever last.
Grab a tea and enjoy the world moving past.♫
♫Do what your heart says.
So you don't regret later.
I am traveling with this child but I just met her.
...♫
The woman sitting beside him didn't say anything. She just kept on driving while listening to his soul-soothing songs. The fresh aroma of tea made her feel as if she was in heaven.
