Chapter 26: Hero Killer: Stain…

[POV Reo]

"Uhmm... so what now?" After finally calming down my nerves, when Rumi broke the sudden and unexpected news, I was able to ask her the most important question at this moment.

"Nothing! We came to know that you have another Quirk and that's it, but I am going to increase your training routine so that it could match up with your boosted body" Rumi said. After resting for some time we resumed our training.

Now that she had pointed out, I have to agree that I lasted a few minutes longer than I had done yesterday. This same thing happened when I was training for the Aegis Shield. I practiced for a few hours and gained one more minute, it didn't seem odd at that moment but now I think that it was rather odd to suddenly gain massive improvements in just a few hours.

I will say that I am quite happy with Rumi's attitude. It didn't seem like she would blab about my 2nd Quirk to anyone. But if it is a Quirk like Rumi had guessed, the machine should have shown it too, right? But it didn't show up there, so could it be that I had awakened this Quirk at a later date. I know that this Quirk wasn't given to me by God and it could have been my own Quirk...

Hah...!! I don't have the resources to find that now. I could apply for another Quirk test with Rumi's help but I don't want to draw any more attention. I have no problem showing off my powers or Quirk, I am just worried for my parents, just for my dad since he works away from home. If villains could find out about the schedule of the most secure school in all Japan, then gathering a student's information won't be that hard for them.

Finally, our training for today was over and Rumi allowed me to go back. But before I went off she stopped me.

"Tomorrow I will show you how to fight hand to hand and then take you to the city with me for the rounds. We might find some villain and I will be able to show you how Pro-Heroes work" Rumi said to me.

"Ok, good night Rumi. Take care" I said while waving at her and walked away from her house. I was again dead tired today because Rumi romped up my training routine. After returning home I followed the same routine as yesterday and after dinner, I went to cuddle with Momo. Again we talked about how we spend our day and I told her about my 2nd Quirk.

"So, Rumi thinks that you have another Quirk?" Momo asked me again for confirmation.

"Yes, she is quite sure that bodies of normal humans or humans with Quirk like mine don't react like my body does" I told her.

"Well, it would certainly explain your regularly increasing stamina" she said and giggled.

While speaking like this we went to sleep but the next day wasn't exactly like the previous day.

I was woken up by a flash of light, I somehow opened my eyes and saw Momo's mom standing in front of the bed while holding her mobile. I froze and subconsciously started shaking Momo. Momo rubbed her eyes and looked at me. She gave me a kiss but that resulted in another flash. This seemed to bring Momo out of her sleepiness.

She froze too who she saw her mom clicking pictures of us. Momo's face immediately turned bright red. "What are you doing here mom?!" Momo screamed looking completely embarrassed.

"Ooh... I was getting pictures for your photo album. Ah... my daughter grew up so fast" Momo's mom said like it was the most normal thing to  do. While speaking she placed her hand on her cheek and started to dream about her small girl has grown up. Wow... rich people are truly odd. After that, she didn't even pay us any mind and walked out of the room still dreaming.

"Your mom must really love you..." that is all I was able to say before Momo disappeared into the bathroom. For a moment I thought that she teleported. Well... after that I sneaked back into my house. Nothing like that happened in my house thankfully.

After breakfast, both Momo and I were headed towards our own destination. After almost two hours I finally reached Rumi's house. Rumi, like she said yesterday, showed me some hand-to-hand moves which were generally used to surprise enemies who would think that I would be sitting duck without my Quirk. She showed me a lot of moves, like any other good teacher or trainer. From what I remember from the manga, she should have been a battle maniac but it didn't seem to be like that.

We practiced the moves for sometime until Rumi's phone started to ring. She accepted the call, it was from the Hero Association and she was informed that there was an attack on Hosu and she was being called there.

"Come on let's go there, maybe you could help or even learn some stuff" Rumi said. Woah... so the Hosu incident was already happening.

I immediately made a huge iron surfboard like I had made in the first event of the tournament. I extended my hand towards Rumi, who hesitantly took my hand and climbed on the board. Her feet were immediately strapped by iron. "This will be much fatser than any other means" I told her to which she nodded. She pulled out her phone and marked Hosu on her map.

Soon, the board rose up above the forest and with a sudden acceleration we flew towards Hosu, Rumi was standing behind me so the sudden acceleration made her grab my waist which I didn't mind in the slightest. I kept increasing the speed but it didn't bother Rumi anymore but she didn't remove her hand from my waist.

Because of the helmet, I wasn't having any problem, but Rumi was somewhat bothered, that is why I had to somewhat lower my speed. After just 16 minutes of flight at breakneck speed, we finally reached Hosu. Since we were in the air we were able to look around quickly. Like in the canon there were three Nomus, but I wasn't able to find Stain or that 'man-child'.

"Take me to that monster" Rumi pointed towards a Nomu that Heroes were trying to stop but they weren't strong enough. It wasn't the flying Nomu or the muscular Nomu. It was the middle one, she asked to drop on a building nearby which I did. I removed the iron straps from her feet and she landed on the roof.

"You wait here and watch for now, I know you could help me deal with that monster but if you do, then the police will try to charge you with illegal use of Quirk" Rumi said and jumped off the roof towards the Nomu. She saw that I was about to protest but she stopped me. Damn... she is right. Police in this world are exactly the same as the people in the ministry of improper use of magic by minors in Harry Potter world. Even if it was to stop villains they would just charge a case and be done with it.

Then, how I am supposed to fight Stain? Well... I could just say he attacked me and I defended myself. Yeah... that would work and even other Pro-Heroes would also support me.

I looked towards Rumi who seemed to have the time of her day while fighting the Nomu. She was fighting it with a huge grin on her face. I fucking take it back... she is definitely a battle maniac. Then I closed my eyes and started to look for metal objects which resembled a sword. Only after a few seconds, I found the only sword in that area. The board immediately turned in that direction and flew towards it. I reached over a dark alley where I landed.

"You came to the wrong place at the wrong time, kid" a cold voice was heard from the alley.

"I know you, you are that metal kid. Now, run off to where you came from and bring some fake Heroes with you if you want to be useful" the cold voice was again heard but this time Stain walked out of the shadows while talking to me. I have to say, he has that scare factor. Even if he is not releasing his aura I could clearly feel his bloodlust. My flasks immediately opened and started to leak iron sand.

"I am not someone who wastes his time speaking unnecessary things" this was only thing I said before the iron sand rushed in his direction and some iron sand made a boundary around so that he can't get to me. The iron sand kept coming out of my body plates. Stain was fast... not fast like Rumi but his instincts were like wild animals. Before even I launched an attack he would notice it.

But that wasn't enough, he started to gain scratches and gashes on his body as I kept attacking due to my active role in attacking he was unable to even launch an attack towards me. I saw that he tried to make some distance between us but I collapsed the wall behind him stopping his retreat. I raised my hand and the walls beside me cracked and I pulled out metal rods from them. I placed those rods above us so that I could stop him from jumping away.

Stain was getting more and more frustrated, at this moment I was honestly playing with him. He had already started to release his bloodlust, even if it was scary it didn't bother me much. Stain knew that he couldn't win against me and decided to run away from me, he slashed his blade at the metal rods so he could make a gap and run away but this gave me all the time I needed to land a hit. I sent another volley of iron sand at him and was finally able to catch both of his legs.

I immediately closed my palm crushing both of his legs. Stain let out a blood-curdling scream before dropping to the ground.

"You are not a Hero... not at all, you must be purged" He said while throwing knives at me. The knives stopped as soon as left his hand.

"You are stupid to even think that metal would ever harm me". That was all I said before punching him with a fist of iron sand to knock him out.

"Now, I would have to dump him on the police and tell some half-truths." I thought while stroking my chin...
