章 6: Chapter 6 – Patrolling
The next day, at nine in the evening, I met Knuckle Duster at the meeting spot we had agreed on the day before.
It took quite a bit of effort to convince my parents to let me go with Knuckle Duster on patrol. It was normal, they were pretty worried, but I managed to convince them by saying that I would be safe, we weren't going after any dangerous villains and I would be using quirks that could in no way possible be associated to me.
I had no "proper" costume yet, but I was wearing an all-black outfit made of a material that could absorb shock to a certain extent and that was very light. I was also wearing a mask to protect my identity, what we were going to do wasn't legal, after all.
Knuckle Duster was also there, with his "costume" which was basically normal clothes, a long trenchcoat and a mask that covered the top of his head.
"You're here, kiddo. We're going to do Vigilante work, but I have some things to explain before. It won't be very exciting, in fact, we���re going to stand on rooftops most of the night. We'll stop at four in the morning. Before taking action against any thugs or villains we might see, I want you to tell me and verify if their quirks are powerful and tell me your plan. Also, we will go together for a while before separating. Any questions?"
I nodded as I had no questions nor was I surprised by what he said, I was expecting all of this.
We started climbing on rooftops and patrolling, searching for anything suspicious or any crimes. I was happy Knuckle Duster had trained me in climbing and parkour, otherwise this would've been significantly harder.
Yes, he didn't only train me to fight. He had also taught me stealth, climbing, parkour, how to fall correctly, and anything else I might need.
This first few minutes were… uneventful. We weren't in a bad district, so there were not a lot of crimes, but, somewhere around the one-hour mark, we heard someone shouting.
"Some f*cker stole my bag! If I catch you, I'm gonna…"
And not long after we saw a man running in a back alley with a bag that was obviously not his in his hands. We quickly followed him and I checked his quirk and quirk levels.
Deafening Scream (534): Allows user to scream extremely loudly, temporarily deafening people nearby.
It was just a very powered down version of Present Mic's quirk, so it shouldn't cause me any problems.
I quickly formed a plan and told it to Knuckle Duster before jumping toward the villain. It was a simple plan, I was going to jump in front of him, talk for a second or two to distract while I prepare a Five Fingers Death Punch and launch it on his head, probably knocking him out.
As I landed in front of him, I said, doing my best imitation of a hero wannabe.
"Stop right there villain! You won't take another step."
"Hahaha, he started laughing, What could…."
He didn't have the finish was he was saying, as he was promptly knocked out by five steel fingers hitting him, hard, at the back of his head. Yep, that went as planned. He was probably trying to say something like "What could a brat like you do to me? Return to your mom before you get hurt."
I realized that I had forgotten to use Voice Change when I apprehended him… Well, it's too late. Anyway, I had hit him pretty hard on the head, so he probably wouldn't remember that much from our encounter.
I took the bag from his hands and returned it to its true owner, who thanked me a lot. As for the criminal, it wasn't worth it to send him to the police, they would probably let him out after a night in prison, so I drew him a mustache with a sharpie and let him spend the night here, in a back alley. I hope that he would learn his lesson.
The rest of the night was pretty much like this, I stopped a few muggings, thefts and arrested one drug dealer. I threw the most the criminals having done the most severs crimes in front of a police station with a quick description of what they had done and my new trademark, I mustache drawn in sharpie.
Random Inspector's POV
Another night of work, another coffee to keep me going… And oh…There's a new vigilante out there apparently, a couple of street thugs were dropped in the police station at night. At least this one seems to have a sense of humor, he drew mustaches on the people he captured.
Let's see, the villains said that a young person who looked around 10 or 11 years old dressed in black dropped in front of them and spoke, in a deep voice, saying they were going to stop them and then the villains felt something hit them in the back of the head before they lost consciousness and woke up in front of the police station.
Maybe a team? The kid to distract and another one the defeat the villains. Or a telekinesis quirk of sorts, that could be possible. The kid probably has a voice changing device or quirk if they are a team to escape being recognized. Threat level…I'd say low to medium, nothing too dangerous… Honestly, it's not really worth it to start an investigation as long as he doesn't do anything more than stop street thugs…
Raiko's POV
The next day (the same day, but later in fact), I was at school thinking about the previous night. It honestly felt good saving people and it was pretty easy. I always used the same strategy as with the first one; drop in front of them, talk to them to distract them and knock them out. A foolproof strategy! I know that the same strategy won't work against a real villain, because they have too much situational awareness and because I probably won't be able to knock them out that easily, but I could always use hand-to-hand combat if it goes to sh*t. And I have Knuckle Duster backing me in the worst case scenario.
As I continued to complete my quiz, I thought about my plans for the future. I intended enter High School soon, but I couldn't go into U.A. because I would be way too young, you need to be 15 to enter. Instead, I was going to rush through highschool, and enter University at eleven or twleve, get a degree in Quirk Analysis before 15 and then apply to U.A. but as a Quirk Analysis professor while being a student in the hero course at the same time. Honestly, Nezu, the principal shouldn't have a reason the refuse me, as, by that time, I would be one of the most qualified Quirk Analyst available for the job, I hope.
Ah yes, I also needed to learn how to hack, because my mom wouldn't tell me or didn't know who the villain group that kidnapped me were. It was also a generally very useful skill to have. Although the villain group didn't try to kidnap me or do anything to my family after their failed kidnapping attempt, I still wanted my vengeance. Maybe they were scared of my parent's contacts and influence, as over the years, the only had became more proeminent in their fields, or, most likely, they had found another healer. They had probably chose to extort another person with a healing quirk.
I handed back the quiz and, as always, I would probably have perfect marks, not that it was surprising anymore. People were already used to my "genius", I was eight years old and in the same class as the thirteen-year-old and most people forgot I my age since I looked like a ten or eleven years old. The combination of all my intelligence quirks and the fact that I didn't need to sleep was really unfair, not that I was one the complain.
School was mostly peaceful, I often helped students who were having difficulty at school. Though there were a few dumb people that tried to bully me when I started skipping grades like crazy. They thought I was going to be an easy prey because I was more than three years younger than them. After I kicked their asses a few times, they stopped bothering me, I wasn't going to let myself be bullied. It's not like they didn't deserve it. I also stopped bullies whenever I saw some, because… Well, because they were bullies and I could easily defeat them.

TheOnlyRaiko
TheOnlyRaiko Those are the MC’s plan for the future. Will everything work out for him, who knows? Well, I know but you don’t.
As you can see, MC is a decent person and genuinely wants to help people. He won’t be an anti-hero because it’s just not him. Although he would often choose his and his family’s safety over others, but that’s normal. He won’t risk his life like a dumb person, and he’ll always have a realist plan.
Also yes, the MC is a pretty resentful person, but, I mean, the villains did try to use him as blackmail material, so I would probably try to get my revenge too if I had the means.
