บท 35: Chapter 35: Recommendation exams (IV)
"Help!"
A voice suddenly interrupted their 'conversation'. Everyone looked at where the sound came from, and realised it was from under a bunch of rubble.
"Um..." Everyone was speechless. Suddenly, all their fighting spirit dissipated into thin air.
Shoto heard him and instantly froze the rubble above the voice and shattered it. "Do you need help or can you walk by yourself?" He asked in his still emotionless voice.
From the shattered rubble, a man in his mid-thirties came out. He was wearing the typical Japanese men's clothing when they go to work, but his white suit had a lot of dust and grime on it. He had an average face where one could see everywhere, and had squared-lens glasses.
"Thank you heroes. I thought I would be trapped there forever." He bowed down and walked towards Shoto and held out his hand. Shoto saw his actions and walked forward as well, thinking that he wanted to shake his hand.
However, as soon as he got close enough, the spectacled man instantly took out a rope and bounded Shoto.
"WHAT??!!" Everyone who was seeing this scene was shocked. The person who was most shocked was undoubtedly Shoto himself. Apart from the fact that he was instantly bound up without time to resist, he couldn't freeze the rope as well.
'It seems that the villain came well-prepared...' He thought to himself as he found himself used as a hostage.
"So please make space for me kids, otherwise I would be forced to do something unwise to this kid here." The villain smiled viciously as his previously meek behaviour disappeared and replaced by an overbearing behaviour.
Most of the examinees haven't met a villain face to face before, much less face against one. They were all shivering with fright from the bloodlust that he was producing. No one could move a single step. They all felt that if they took a step forward, that would be the end of their life.
The villain saw this and smiled even widely. "Good job kids. Now to do my delivery and get some sentences off my name. Damn, being in jail sure is boring..." He continued talking as he walked past them, not even sparing them a glance while Shoto, who was bundled up tightly, sat on his shoulder like a potato sack.
He saw Shoto not even trying to struggle at all, and became confused. Not that he was complaining, but most students would at least try to wiggle their way out even if they can't do anything else. 'But this student sure is special.'
"Hey brat, why are you not struggling? It's no fun to see a sedated student, you know?" He continued asking Shoto, who just kept his silence.
He turned around, and was about to ask another question to the rest of the students who were frozen on the spot, only to meet face to face with a laser beam.
BOOOM!
His left arm and leg was instantly destroyed, leaving him only with his torso intact. Shoto, who was on his right shoulder instantly kicked him off balance, and hopped off and went towards the group of students.
"Damn students. It seems that you had already made a plan beforehand." He chuckled as he tried sitting up right. It was as though he didn't feel any pain from losing his left arm and leg at all. "Pretty cruel of you students. I thought they taught you not to cause any permanent injuries on villains? If I was a normal villain I would have died from the blood loss by now."
Some of the students didn't care about his speech and just tied him up. They already saw his limbs regenerating, so they had to do it faster, otherwise he would have the chance to retaliate.
Most of the others however, were vomiting on the ground as they saw severed limbs and bloody scenes for the first time in their lives. "Never see blood before? You students are still too green, how would you be able to be pro heroes in the future?" The man just snickered at them before standing. His leg had fully regenerated by now, leaving him only with his left arm slowly growing.
"Damn you villain! We haven't even been taught by UA yet! And how old are we? Of course we have never seen someone just laugh while his limbs were lasered off!" One of the students who had just finished gagging shouted.
"Pfft...says the one who lasered me in the first place." The man didn't care for them and just started walking away. Nobody dared to stop him. The reason why they only managed to tie him up in the first place was because he had dropped his guard and lost his limbs. It was already a relief for them that he didn't try to capture them again.
"Good luck with your next challenge..." The man waved as he walked away.
"Huh...what challenge a-" The laser boy was about to ask when a huge shadow covered them.
They slowly turned their heads to look at what seemed to be a giant. It stood at a height of 15 stories high, and stopped right before them. The first impression to them was that it looked like a giant rabbit, with huge rabbit ears standing upright.
"Y-You are kidding, r-right?" CF A stuttered as he looked up in horror. He couldn't even see the top of its head, and only knew that it had rabbit ears due to his shadow,"H-How are we s-supposed to fight a-against that?"
"I-I bet that e-even the normal robot is s-smaller than thus..." a random girl spoke up.
"Why are all of you just standing there?? RUN!!!" Another passerby shouted at them before running off towards the exit. They looked around them, and found many of the participants running away from the rabbit.
Everyone instantly snapped out of it and started running away. All except one.
Shoto looked up excitedly. This 'final boss' was different. It was much stronger than normal. If he wanted to prove to the partner of his mother that he could reach the top without using his left, this would be the first step he needed to take.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" A person who saw Shoto just stand there while not doing anything, and screamed at him. Even if they were all competitors currently, he still didn't want to see anyone get injured from being stepped on by a giant rabbit.
Shoto just looked at him and said,"Don't worry. I will destroy this giant easily."
