章節 30: Making A Name (V)
"If I didn't know any better then I would have thought that this city was completely normal" I commented as I stared at the people milling around from the window. Once again, I had a towel wrapped around my waist to protect my dignity, even though I had lost my previous towel during the fight. Thankfully, Ito got me a brand new one or I would have been forced to ride the car in my dragon form.
"Well, it is a normal city… At least, mostly" Ito answered with a shrug, earning a curious look from me. What the hell is he trying to say? He was the one who told me that Jaku City is the city of crime and now he is saying that this place is mostly normal? I mean, what the fuck?! "You see these people-" Ito pointed at the people walking by the sidewalk. They looked like any other 9-5 workers.
"-Most of these people are blissfully unaware of what actually goes on in this fucking city and the gangs try really hard not to get them involved in any of their shit, but considering how fucked this city truly is, it is impossible to prevent them from getting involved. Hence, the higher crime rate" Ito finished dismissively. "The gangs know how to toe the lie since none of them wants to bring any of the top-rankers on top of their heads" Ito added after a moment of silence.
I see… What he said makes sense. After all, even if the gangs were paying the Hero Public Safety Commission to look the other way, it wasn't like the HPSC could stop someone like All-Might or Endeavour from coming here if they wished…
"So, what can you tell me about your friend?" I asked, deciding to change the topic. I think I have learnt enough about the city for now to get me going.
"His name is Lang Min. He is half Chinese and half Japanese and his Quirk is called Vertigo. His Quirk is fucking weird, you need to be careful… His Quirk allows him to affect the sight of a person. He can flip your sense of sight. Like if you see him going right, he is going left. It might sound simple, but it's much more complicated than that…" Ito sighed as he ran his hand through his hair in frustration.
"Is that how he managed to kick your ass the last time?" I asked as I could already guess why Ito wasn't a fan of this Lang Min character.
Ito scowled unhappily at my question but didn't deny my accusation, which meant I was right. "Do you have a plan to beat him?" Ito asked, and I simply hummed with a contemplative look on my face.
"What else can you tell me about his Quirk?" I asked as I could already think of a few ways to beat Lang Min. Firstly, I could simply take him out before he could activate his Quirk, or I could use my sense of smell to hunt him since his Quirk could only affect a person's sense of sight.
"Not much except for the fact that just like me he needs to have a clear sight of his target for his Quirk to work" Ito explained with a thoughtful look on his face as he was doing his best to remember everything he could about Lang Min. "That's all I think… Yep, that's all I can remember" Ito finished with a shrug while nodding his head at the same time. So, he needs to be able to see the target to activate his Quirk?
That's good to know… I just need to scratch out his eyes to keep him from activating his Quirk, but why am I so callous about this? I just thought about scratching someone's eyes out and I didn't even feel a hint of revulsion at the idea… After tonight, I might need to check my limits. Just the idea of blinding someone permanently for the rest of their lives should have been sickening, but he was completely fine with it…
I released a deep sigh and decided to think about something else… I have read so many fanfics where the MC would be born in the MHA world. Then they would spend their early childhood training before joining the UA… Then they would go on to become the most badass hero in the training with girls and women falling for him left and right before he could even graduate, and if the fanfic wasn't dropped before they finally graduated from UA, then they would also go on to become the #1 Pro-Hero in the world.
Unfortunately, my luck was not that good… I was born an orphan and even though my Quirk was OP, I still got screwed over… Maybe, I ended up using all of my luck over my Quirk. Regardless of the reason, I was noticed by a group of lunatics and then they decided to come up with an elaborate plan to recruit me. My life would be good if I had joined them, but only in the short term.
I am familiar with people like Rikiya… They would have sacrificed me without a second thought or he could have captured me just to brainwash me when he realized that I wasn't buying his shit… I could have agreed to join him and slip away at the earliest opportunity, but I did not know anything about his Quirk or the Quirks of any of his associates. I was worried that he could have brainwashed me with a simple verbal agreement.
Well, what's done was done… I had already made my choice and now I needed to see it through. I might end up regretting my choice in the future, but that was beside the point…
"We are here!" Ito announced, breaking me out of my musings. He slowly drove the car into one of the alleys and stopped the car. "That's his place" He pointed at one of the three-storey buildings on the other side of the street. I rolled my shoulders as I climbed out of the car. I turned around to ask him if he was going to come with me or wait here, considering he had some personal business with Lang Min, but before I could say anything, I felt my world was flipped over.
I stumbled on my feet as the whole world started to spin around me… I heard some tyre screeching in the background, but I was way too delirious to pay it any mind. Then all of a sudden, everything around me exploded and my world drowned in pain…
