Surrender?
Murderer?
Looking at the 'monster' under his feet, Lancer was truly dumbfounded. What did he do wrong? Or what world was he in?
But now he seemed to need to run away first.
He was not a fool. When he found that the people in bizarre costumes had him subtly surrounded, they didn't attack directly but instead spread out, and he guessed that the opponents were probably waiting for reinforcements. After all, he couldn't think of any other explanation besides that.
Wielding his ice spear, he leaped up from the corpse of the 'monster', and threw the long spear at the ground in front of everyone!
"Be careful!! Spread out!!"
Lancer throw had already demonstrated his 'strength' to everyone when he knocked down the 'transformative quirk criminal'. The people who arrived now were just 'ordinary Pro Heroes' who were close to the scene. They had no problem dealing with some simple emergencies, but they were powerless against a person like Lancer who was 'extremely vicious'. Therefore, the leader directly ordered them to dodge.
But this order seemed to be meaningless.
"Pa~!"
After the ice spear hit the ground, it spread out, and the ice fog directly obscured everyone's vision. It was not until a hero who reacted blew away the ice fog that they found that the masked Lancer had long since disappeared.
——————
The news of the death of this 'quirk criminal' quickly caused a heated discussion on the internet.
However, most of these people were just simply curious about who the 'murderer' was.
There was no doubt about the other party's strength. Although the 'Hero Rankings' were based on popularity and recognition and did not represent strength, 'Mt. Lady' was qualified to squeeze into the rankings, and as a rookie, her strength was still recognized.
It was a little unbelievable that an enemy who had temporarily suppressed such a rookie was defeated by another person in three moves.
There were almost nothing but insults about the fact that the other party killed someone on the internet, but people did acknowledge his strength. But it was precisely because of the acknowledgment of his strength that it caused a greater uproar.
First, the 'official' or the Hero Association issued a public statement that the person was not a Pro Hero registered with the Hero Association. Second, almost all Pro Heroes who were strong and could use ice had an 'alibi', which was enough to prove that the attacker was a civilian.
"Click~!"
As the TV was turned off, a 'mouse' in a small suit, but it had a more widely known identity——————the principal of Hero Academy, Nezu.
"Everyone, what do you think about this matter?"
At this time, the expressions of the other teachers sitting or standing in the principal's office were not very good. As teachers of the Hero Academy, in addition to teaching students how to develop their strength, the most important thing was to teach them the rules of Pro Heroes. Therefore, they didn't have much affection for this person who broke the rules.
"Principal, the only information we have about that person now is a small piece of footage taken by someone on a mobile phone at the scene, and we can't see it clearly at all. You ask us what we think, besides thinking that he did something wrong, we have no other thoughts, after all, the information is incomplete."
The first person to speak was Brand King, the homeroom teacher of Class B. His ability was to manipulate blood, which seemed terrifying, but he was actually a very serious and rule-abiding person.
"Do you all think so too?"
Everyone looked at each other and then nodded, after all, there was too little information. They only knew that this person suddenly appeared and killed a 'quirk criminal' and knew nothing else.
The principal was not surprised by this. He then turned his gaze to a blond man in a suit that was almost bursting at the seams.
"All Might, what about you?"
Hearing the principal's question, his wrinkled brow still didn't relax, but he still expressed his opinion.
"I feel very strange. Saying that he is a 'criminal' is obviously wrong. With his strength, he was fully capable of causing more destruction before the support team arrived, but he didn't do so. The last blow was a feint, just to create an ice fog to escape."
"Could it be that he was afraid of the arrival of the support team? I remember that among the supporters this time was the No. 2 ranked Endeavor."
"This... I can't be sure either. I'm just saying it's a possibility."
"Go on, All Might, we're just discussing now."
"Yes, Principal. Then I'll continue. Regardless of whether the other party retreated because of the support team, it's certain that even if he retreated, he could have caused more destruction, but he obviously didn't do so. In addition, according to the interview reports, that person seemed to have taken action when 'Mt. Lady' was controlled by the 'quirk criminal'. Although it sounds a little strange, I feel like he was trying to save someone..."
Speaking of which, All Might stopped talking, because the meaning that followed was already very obvious.
'Since he was trying to save someone, why would he kill someone? Although Pro Heroes have become an indispensable part of ordinary people's lives in this society, they still don't belong to the 'government department'. They can arrest criminals, but the final judgment and execution power are in the hands of the government department.'
This was the basic common sense of every Pro Hero... no, it should be said that it was the basic common sense of every person living in today's society.
"According to your statement, All Might, how do I feel like this 'attacker' came out of ancient times, or even another world?"
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere at the scene was a little tense, but 'Present Mic' couldn't help but crack a joke to lighten the mood.
"Mic, what are you kidding about?"
"Haha~ I'm just saying whatever comes to mind. Didn't the principal say we could discuss freely?"
As a Pro Hero whose quirk was related to 'sound', his work at the school, in addition to teaching, was all things related to 'broadcasting'. Before becoming a teacher, he was also a very famous 'host' and 'musician'. Creating a lively atmosphere was almost an instinct for him.
And there was no doubt that this joke-like remark did indeed make the atmosphere begin to lively up, but there was one person who was chewing on what Present Mic had said.
'Ancient times? Another world? This is unlikely, but the way the other party acted is indeed a bit like it... like people from that period...'
The 'that period' that All Might was referring to was when 'quirks' first appeared in the world. Unlike now, where being 'quirkless' is almost a rare species, 'quirks' were truly rare in that period. At that time, there were no perfect rules and regulations to standardize 'quirks'. The 'Pro Heroes' of that period were not yet called 'Pro Heroes'. When they fought criminals, because of the shortage of personnel, they were almost merciless in their actions.
Of course, as the number of 'quirks' later became more and more, and with the deliberate guidance of the government, this situation also gradually disappeared, and was even a 'dark history' that most people didn't know about. The reason All Might knew about this was because of his 'fated rival' and the 'destiny' he carried.
'Maybe, I should go and check the information in that area...'
