Chapter 70: Chapter 68: Improving strengths.
Dabi clicked his tongue and looked at the scene in front of him in wonder.
Currently, the previous arrogant Grand Commander of Meta Liberation Front, Re-Destro was prostration himself on the ground in front of Mechamaru, looking very subservient.
Seeing Re-Destro rubbing his hands together like a fraudent salesman, made him smile.
It was crazy how fast Re-Destro's attitude changed, as soon as he mentioned Mechamaru in front of him.
----
Back at the hospital.
"Here~say ah~"
Kurokai blinked and ate the piece of apple Hero Pixie-Bob was holding using a toothpick.
Seeing him eat, Pixie-Bob smiled and picked up another piece, but this time instead of using the toothpick, she grabbed it with her hand.
"Ah~"
Kurokai blankly looked at her hand, then looked up at her smiling face.
He refused to believe there wasn't something wrong with her.
As if asking for confirmation he mechanically turned his head to the side.
There Hero Miriko sat on a seat not far away, looking at the two of them with interest.
Their gaze collided.
Mariko smirked and raised a finger and a hole, then she brought the finger closer to the hole....
She was making a universal gesture.
It seems she was indeed a rabbit, always in heat.
While Kurokai was looking at her make the gesture in interest, Pixie-Bob's hand suddenly appeared beside his cheek and gently changed the direction of his face, making him face her.
"Focus on the food, don't look away."
Pixie-Bob said with a strict look on her face and brought a piece of apple in front of his mouth.
Focus on you or the food?
Kurokai couldn't believe it.
It seems his popular phase was finally here.
The only problem was, it came at the wrong time.
With the mixture of emotions going through his mind, along with the different plans he was thinking about, although he didn't show it, his mood was affected deeply.
Opening his mouth, Kurokai allowed Pixie-Bob to feed him.
Hero Pixie-Bob smiled sweetly again and picked up another piece.
Her sudden change in attitude can only be attributed to him reviving her.
That combined with the mid-life crises thing people talk about?
He couldn't help but wonder how she would feel if she were to find out her savior and killer were the same person.
Will she cry?
Will she despair?
Or will she rush forth to kill him?
Kurokai ate another piece of apple, looking silently at her happy smile.
Only time will tell.
Kurokai's focus shifted for a moment.
And as if noticing it, Pixie-Bob raised her hand and lightly tapped his nose.
It seems she was slowly becoming more and more bold with her gestures.
Though it seems she was still being careful.
Pixie-Bob looked at Kurokai with a hesitant expression, as if afraid of scaring him away, while at the same time unwilling to really back down.
In fact, Kurokai didn't mind it, if anything he even enjoyed it.
Who would ever refuse a beautiful woman trying to take care of them?
If his mood wasn't so complicated right now then he might have directly pulled her in a hug to test the waters.
But still, it wouldn't hurt to make her day better.
Kurokai smiled and looked at Pixie-Bob saying in a sincere voice.
"Thank you."
Looking at his smiling face, a small blush appeared on Pixie-Bob's face, waving her hand she replied in a more lighthearted voice.
"It's nothing! It's nothing!"
Although she said that, the quickly rising corners of her mouth couldn't be concealed.
Perhaps thinking the distance between them had decreased, her body language along with her voice became more casual, appearing more carefree.
Meanwhile, Hero Miriko on the side was starting to feel irritated looking at them, so she opened up her mobile and started surfing the internet.
Not long after three people who had gone out before, came back.
They were Eraser Head, Best Jeanist, and Hikari Sento.
After entering the room, Eraser Head noded at Kurokai, then stepped to the side, allowing Hikari to step forward.
It seems by now Hikari's previous angry attitude has died down, she has returned back to her usual meek personality.
With a hesitant look on her face, Hikari stepped in front of the confused Hero Miriko and then suddenly bowed to her.
"I apologize for what I said earlier....."
Due to a variety of factors, mainly centered around her son's well-being, her mind stopped working straight, giving rise to all of the bad statements she said to Miriko.
There were many things that shouldn't have been said, especially since Kurokai chose the path himself, and no one forced him.
At the time she just wanted to release all of the pent-up emotions inside her, and she ended up doing it on Hero Miriko.
It was no good, especially since heroes put their lives on the line to keep them safe.
Hikari Sento bowed again.
"It's alright, though it is a fact that we lost after doing our best....."
Miriko smiled, her eyes carrying a hint of sadness.
Aizawa lowered his head, Best Jeanist clenched his fist.
Pixie-Bob who was sitting on Kurokai's bed also bit down on her lower lip.
It was a fact, the heroes lost.
Resulting in the deaths of thousands.
A costly defeat.
As the mood in the room was becoming gloomy, Aizawa suddenly turned his head to look at Pixie-Bob.
"I have talked with the principal, and he has agreed to your employment."
Everyone looked at her in confusion.
Pixie-Bob saw their gazes, then lowered her head and said in a sad tone.
"I decided to stop being a hero."
Pixie-Bob shook her head, after dying once she felt she had done enough.
She no longer wishes to go through it again, that is if there even will be a second chance.
Suddenly Pixie-Bob smiled and said in a motivated voice.
"Mehehehe I plan to teach the younger generation! I'll be going to Ua!"
Pixie-Bob sneakily glanced at Kurokai as she spoke, trying to see his reaction.
Kurokai gave her an encouraging thumbs up.
Pixie-Bob felt her heart warm up.
Eraser Head noded at Pixie-Bob then turned to face Kurokai.
"Kurokai do you wish to quit Ua?"
Silence enveloped the room.
It was the same as asking him to give up on his Hero journey, to change to another profession.
Kurokai looked at Eraser Head, seeing his calm eyes, it didn't seem he was lying.
He was surprised the heroes were willing to allow a medic like him to leave.
Hikari Sento bit down on her lip but didn't say anything, allowing Kurokai to make his own decision.
Hero Best Jeanist and Miriko looked at him silently, and although they didn't say anything, their attentive eyes showed more than enough emotions.
Kurokai looked at Eraser Head and then waved his hand.
"You already know the answer so why bother asking? I won't quit."
Hero Miriko and Best Jeanist smiled at the same time.
Only Hikari Sento lowered her head in disappointment.
Eraser Head nodded his head, then suddenly took out a white envelope, handing it to the confused Kurokai.
As Kurkai looked at the letter in curiosity, Eraser Head said in a plain voice.
"Government has recognized your feats after repeatedly helping the heroes and they see no need for you to pass any test, as there is no longer a need to prove anything..."
Kurokai looked at the white card with his face and information.
Suddenly he noticed a printing mistake.
"From today onwards, 'Tornado Of benevolence' will be the new ranked 35th hero."
Tornado Of benevolence, the new ranked 35th hero.
Kurokai instantly objected.
"Teacher this is not my Hero name!"
He felt as if there was a hidden conspiracy.
Eraser Head blinked at him, then said in a low voice.
"If you want you can continue going to Ua or take on your post as a hero....."
"Don't try and change the subject!"
Kurokai slammed his fist.
"I demand to see my layer!"
Eraser Head looked at him, then shook his head.
"It's the decision of the higher-ups, they wanted to use you as a new rising star to somewhat subside the public's dissatisfaction."
"But that doesn't answer my question!"
"..Benevolence has a more positive vibe than terror, it will have a better impact on media, also they said you can change it back after a year if you wish."
Hero Pixie-Bob looked at the two of them and then said to Kurokai.
"I think Tornado Of Benevolence
is quite good...."
'....it suits you too."
She said the next part in her mind.
Kurokai glanced at her, then looked down at his hero card.
Ignoring the changed title, his gaze couldn't help but land on the rank.
35th.
Kurokai suddenly turned to Eraser Head.
"Teacher, what's your rank again?"
A bad premonition hit Eraser Head.
".....I don't have one, since I left my job as a pro."
"Oh."
Kurokai suddenly turned to Miriko.
"I remember your hero rank was 5th?"
"Yeah? What of it?"
"So if I beat you will I be the new number 5?"
Miriko stopped, then suddenly a ferocious look appeared on her face.
"You're welcome anytime!"
Aizawa and Best Jeanist looked at each other, then slapped both of their head at the same time.
"That's not how a hero rank works."x2
Kurokai and Miriko rubbed their heads in pain.
Aizawa wanted to say something when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
It was Ex Hero Pixie-Bob.
She was looking at him with a dissatisfied expression.
"Aizawa how can you hit your student like that?"
Pixie-Bob said, gently rubbing Kurokai's head.
Aizawa was taken aback.
Seeing her expression he couldn't help but doubt himself for a moment, wondering if what he did was really wrong.
But then his gaze landed on Kurokai's smirking expression.
So it was you after all!
But what the hell was going on?
Just how did Kurokai influence Pixie-Bob so quickly?
Aizawa felt a headache coming over, looking at her protective face he couldn't help but think the future seemed a little bleak.
----
Three days later Kurokai was released from the hospital.
And what greeted him first were the faces of some of his eager classmates who had been waiting for a long time.
Except for three or four students, everyone else was there.
As soon as he exited they surrounded him in a hurry.
"Are you alright Kurokai-kun?"
Momo asked with a worried look on her face.
"You saved a lot of people! It's amazing!"
Kirishima said loudly, with a smile on his face.
The others also nodded their heads.
"You were amazing Kurokai.", Jiro said with a smile on her face.
Kurokai nodded at her, although he couldn't understand the words of a flat-chested woman, her well wishes were gratefully received.
"You're quirk is amazing! Not only are you strong but you can also heal!", Ashida said in a slightly jealous voice, but then quickly smiled feeling grateful for his help.
Asui slowly went forward and stopped before him, looking up at him with her big eyes.
"...does it still hurt?"
Kurokai waved his hand and smiled.
"Nope, I feel perfectly fine now."
That was a lie, the brain injury wasn't something that could heal so soon.
It will take time.
That's why he didn't intend to make any big move like last time until Shigaraki awakens.
The need for a crazy strong body was self-evident.
Kurokai looked around but he couldn't find Midoriya or Todoroki.
----
Inside Ua's training room.
Two figures can be seen moving rapidly colliding against each other head-on at a crazy speed.
They were Midoriya and All Might, training crazily.
Suddenly as their fists kept colliding, a change happened to Midoriya.
Several black tentacles like things extended from his body, out of control causing destruction everywhere.
"Arh!!"
All Might hurriedly moved back and looked at the screaming Midoriya in confusion.
----
Inside another training room, Bakugo kept using his quirk again and again, blasting with his full power.
His face pale dur to overexertion, but he kept going regardless under Teacher Cementos guide.
----
Fumikage Tokoyami sat silently inside a dark room, the scenes of destruction he saw that day kept passing through his mind.
The shadow underneath his feet kept moving.
Suddenly it started extending.
But this time, its range was completely different from anything he has done before.
----
Inside the villain's headquarters.
Toga, Twice, Mr. Compass, Spinner, and Magne were going against each other in a free for all, using all of their strength to fight.
Unbothered by their methods, since they knew Mechamaru who was watching could heal them if injured.
Mechamaru silently looked at Twice who was being beaten ganged up by everyone, being beaten one-sidedly.
Behind Mechamaru stood Re-Destro, his face pasted with his business-like smile.
