บท 129: Chapter 128: Rope-Man

"Get away! Why don't you get out of the way!!"

Boom!

"Ahhhhh!"

With tears streaming down his rocky face, the large stone man charged forward, his immense strength smashing through the jewelry stall and sending the girl behind it flying.

"I'm sorry… I'm sorry… I can't stop, I can't slow down… My daughter… My daughter is waiting for me… I need to save her…" he cried out in anguish.

At that moment, one of the pursuing Heroes finally caught up.

"Rope Binding!"

Whoosh!

Thick ropes launched from the Hero's body like serpents, swiftly coiling around the stone man's legs and yanking him off balance. The impact sent him crashing to the ground with a loud thud.

The ropes didn't stop there, continuing to twist and wrap around the stone man's entire body until he was completely immobilized, resembling a giant, rocky mummy.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

The remaining two Heroes caught up moments later, surrounding the restrained stone man. Scattered across the ground were broken jewelry pieces, glinting under the sunlight.

"Everyone, please step back! We'll handle the situation!" the rope Hero called out to the crowd. Turning to one of his partners, he gave an order.

"Contact the police and have them come to pick him up."

"Understood!"

Watching from the side, Kaminari narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. "Ah, looks like they're from a pro Hero office," he muttered. "But I've never heard of this guy before... definitely not one of the top ten Heroes."

That wasn't surprising—aside from his teachers and the top-ranking Heroes, Kaminari wasn't too familiar with others in the field. Not that it mattered, someone nearby always seemed eager to share information.

"It's the Rope Hero, ROPE-MAN!" a man with glasses announced proudly to his girlfriend. "And the one next to him is his partner, Phantom. Not sure about the third one, maybe he's new?"

Kaminari's thoughts shifted as his eyes landed on the jewelry stall girl who had been knocked over earlier. She was lying on the ground, unconscious and worryingly still.

Something about the scene made his stomach churn. Was that… blood pooling beneath her?

"Hey…" Kaminari started to speak, intending to alert the Heroes, but before he could, the stone man on the ground began to move.

"Let… let me go!" the stone man bellowed, his voice filled with rage and desperation. The crowd instinctively backed away, fear etched on their faces.

"Tch." ROPE-MAN sneered, clearly unimpressed. "No one's ever broken free from my alloy ropes before. Stop struggling."

Crack.

The sound of splitting fibers cut through the air, wiping the smirk off ROPE-MAN's face.

"Impossible!" he shouted, wide-eyed.

"ROAR!!"

With a deafening yell, the stone man flexed his powerful body, shattering the ropes binding him as if they were nothing more than paper.

"My daughter is waiting for me!!" he cried, staggering to his feet. He reached down and, to everyone's horror, grabbed the unconscious jewelry stall girl with his left hand, lifting her off the ground.

"Ahhhh!"

A scream pierced the air, not from the girl he held, but from another young girl nearby, clutching her father tightly. Tears streamed down her face as she pointed at the scene.

Blood began dripping from the body of the unconscious girl, staining the ground beneath her. A dark red puddle marked the spot where she had been lying moments earlier.

The sight caused a collective gasp from the crowd. Even the Heroes froze momentarily in shock.

"What… what happened?!" the stone man stammered, staring at the blood trickling down his captive's body. His face twisted in disbelief. "I just bumped her! How is there so much blood?!"

"It's the jewelry," Kaminari said quietly, his tone grim. His sharp eyes caught the shards of crystal-like fragments glinting in the bloody puddle.

"You smashed the jewelry stall first, then knocked her down with too much force. The shards must have cut her when she hit the ground."

The realization settled over the crowd like a heavy blanket. The girl had been critically injured by the very merchandise she was trying to protect.

"Let her go!" ROPE-MAN barked, his voice more urgent now. "She needs immediate medical attention!"

"Ah? Yes, yes, I'll let her go…" The stone man's hands trembled, but then he froze, his expression hardening. "No! I can't let her go!"

The crowd gasped again, murmurs spreading like wildfire.

"I won't hurt her—I'll take her to the hospital myself!" the stone man declared, his voice frantic. "Don't try to stop me!"

"Impossible!" ROPE-MAN snapped. His expression hardened as he raised his ropes again. "You're a criminal. There's no way we can let you leave!"

"I know I broke the law!" the stone man shouted, his voice cracking under the weight of his emotions. "But I need this money for my daughter's surgery! Please, just let me save her!"

Tears streamed down his face as he cried, "I've tried everything! I begged the doctors, I pleaded with the police, I even went to the rich neighborhoods to ask for help! No one would lend me the money—no one!"

The raw pain in his voice silenced the crowd. Even Kaminari stood rooted in place, lost in thought. For a brief moment, he imagined himself in the stone man's shoes. What would he do if his parents were in danger and he had no other options?

"Please, Heroes, I'm begging you!" the stone man continued, his cries growing louder. "My daughter is in the city hospital right now. I swear I'll turn myself in after paying for her surgery! Just let me take this girl there—please!"

The girl in his hand was deathly pale, the blood loss clearly taking its toll.

"No!" ROPE-MAN shouted, cutting through the stone man's pleas. His tone was cold, unyielding. "Put her down and surrender now! That's your only option!"

"And let me remind you," he added, "the money you stole is considered illegal gains. The hospital won't accept it."

The stone man's face twisted in despair.

Kyoka's fists clenched at her sides. She glared at ROPE-MAN, her voice sharp with anger. "That girl's dying! Isn't it the Hero's job to save lives first?!"

She turned to the stone man, her voice softening. "Just let him take her to the hospital! He can't escape anyway, arrest him after she's safe!"

She could still hear Aizawa-sensei's voice in her mind: "The priority is to protect and rescue those in danger before dealing with the criminal."

"Stay out of this, kid!" ROPE-MAN barked, turning on Kyoka. "You don't know what you're talking about. A Hero's job is to arrest villains and maintain order!"

บท 130: Chapter 129: Clever Kyoka

"Can you stop arguing and just do your job? Arrest him and save that girl, she's dying!"

Kaminari, clearly frustrated, took two steps forward, placing himself between Kyoka and ROPE-MAN. His tone was firm but controlled, making it clear he was done with the back-and-forth.

"You!"

ROPE-MAN turned to Kaminari, his face twisting in irritation. But before he could retort, the stone man, who had been watching their exchange, erupted with a furious shout.

"Stay back!"

"Don't come any closer! If any of you try to stop me, I'll… I'll strangle her!"

The stone man's face was a mask of desperation, his massive hands trembling as they gripped the unconscious girl. His frantic gaze darted between the Heroes, his resolve slowly cracking under the weight of his own guilt and despair.

"Damn it…"

ROPE-MAN's expression darkened. He wanted to act, to subdue the stone man and save the hostage but he hesitated. His ropes weren't fast enough to stop the man before he could harm the girl.

Kaminari's fists clenched tightly by his sides. This wasn't like the time he'd rescued the elderly man. This wasn't a simple save; it required him to directly attack someone. And with so many people watching some of whom clearly recognized him, he knew that every action he took would be under heavy scrutiny.

The repercussions of his decisions wouldn't be the same as for an ordinary person. A misstep could tarnish his reputation as a rising Hero.

"Kaminari, look!"

Kyoka's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. She raised her phone, the screen glowing with a live video call.

"Midnight-sensei?!" Kaminari exclaimed when he saw the familiar figure on the display. Midnight appeared to be rushing somewhere, her surroundings a blur of movement.

"Kaminari Denki!"

Kyoka had turned the volume all the way up, so everyone present, Heroes, civilians, and even the stone man could hear the conversation.

"In the name of the Pro Hero Midnight, I hereby authorize you to use your Quirk in this situation!"

Her voice was clear and commanding, leaving no room for hesitation.

"Repeat: I, Midnight, as a Pro Hero, authorize you to engage in combat to save the hostage!"

"Save her immediately, she doesn't have much time!"

The moment Midnight's declaration ended, Kaminari felt the weight on his shoulders lighten. A small smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he glanced at Kyoka, who was holding up the phone with a determined expression.

"Good work, Kyoka."

"You… You're connected to Midnight-senpai?!" ROPE-MAN stammered in disbelief, his confidence wavering.

The younger Hero standing beside him, who seemed fresh out of an ordinary university's Hero program, leaned in and whispered, "Midnight is a Hero course teacher. That means… he's a UA student!"

The crowd, many of whom had already recognized Kaminari, began murmuring excitedly.

"Tap, tap, tap…"

Ignoring the growing whispers, Kaminari reached out to gently pat Kyoka's head before stepping forward. His expression was unreadable, his movements calm but deliberate.

"Stay back! This is your final warning! If you come any closer, I'll crush her!" the stone man shouted, his voice thick with desperation.

To emphasize his threat, he began to tighten his grip around the girl's neck. The sight made ROPE-MAN pale, his panic evident as he tried to intervene.

"Wait! Don't do anything rash—"

Crack!

A blinding flash of golden light cut him off mid-sentence, forcing everyone to shield their eyes.

The intensity of the light left the stone man momentarily dazed. But as his vision returned, so did his rage.

"I told you not to push me!" he roared, his voice shaking with anger. "I begged you to understand! You still want to stop me?! You're forcing me!"

The desperation in his tone turned to fury as he shouted, "If this is how it's going to be… then I'll take her with me! You leave me no choice!!"

His hand began to squeeze tighter, his knuckles cracking under the pressure. But before he could finish his grim declaration, something unexpected happened.

Boom!

The stone man's right leg suddenly buckled, sending him crashing to the ground with such force that the stone slabs beneath him shattered.

"What… what's happening to me?!" he gasped, his voice laced with confusion and fear.

No matter how hard he tried, his body refused to respond properly. Every attempt to stand ended with him collapsing again, his movements clumsy and uncoordinated.

Kaminari, who had already retrieved the injured girl, carefully laid her down on the ground. The golden electricity that had enveloped his body faded as he returned to his normal state.

His voice was calm but firm as he addressed the fallen man. "I understand you're desperate. I know you feel like you've run out of options. But no matter how dire your situation is, you can't justify putting someone else's life at risk."

Kaminari glanced briefly at the stone man, then turned his attention back to the girl, checking her condition with a grim expression.

"You're lucky she's still alive," he said softly, though there was no warmth in his tone.

The girl's blood loss was severe, and the wound wasn't clotting. Kaminari's frown deepened as he realized how critical her condition was.

"If this keeps up, she won't make it to the hospital in time," he muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, the surrounding Heroes and onlookers finally began to process what had happened. ROPE-MAN, in particular, was stunned.

"What… what did he do?" ROPE-MAN whispered, his mind racing. "How did he take down that guy so quickly?"

As Kaminari continued to assess the girl's injuries, he suddenly made a decision. Golden electricity began to flicker around his hands.

"What's he doing?!" ROPE-MAN shouted, his voice filled with alarm as he saw Kaminari channeling electricity into the injured girl.

The sight sent the older Hero into a panic. Thinking Kaminari was harming the girl, he raised his rope and launched it at him.

"Stop this right now!"

Snap!

Kaminari's hand moved with lightning speed, swatting the rope aside effortlessly.

"Don't interfere!" Kaminari snapped, his voice colder than before.

The golden electricity intensified, wrapping around the girl's body in a controlled current. The crowd gasped, unsure of what to make of the sight.

"Relax!" Kyoka shouted, stepping forward to address the onlookers. "Kaminari's using his electricity to stimulate her body. It's a temporary boost to help her hold on until we get her proper treatment!"

The explanation seemed to calm the murmuring crowd, but ROPE-MAN, now sprawled on the ground from the shock of Kaminari's counter, looked both humiliated and furious.

"You could've told me that earlier!" he groaned, twitching slightly as residual sparks danced along his body.

Kaminari ignored him entirely, his focus locked on saving the girl's life.
