The matter of "ghost" was recently All Might's biggest concern, as the other party was too bizarre. His initial suspect was Lancer, but the other party had several alibis. What was more troublesome was that the other party's whereabouts were a mystery. He was like a true ghost, and no trace could be found. Every time he received a report of the other party's whereabouts and rushed to the scene, the other party had already disappeared.
All Might even once suspected that the other party might be "All For One," as the other party's situation was too bizarre. But after thinking about it, it was unlikely. After all, "All For One" was a person with a complete tyrant personality, and he would never do such "trivial things."
Just as he was trying to find clues about the other party, a piece of news made him almost crush the table next to him.
"'ghost' attacked the association headquarters?! Is he crazy?!"
The previous attack on the "Metropolitan Police Department" was equivalent to a slap in the face of the Japanese government in this world, but the actual danger was not too great. After all, in this "age of heroes," the status of the police had been weakened too much. In the minds of most ordinary people, the so-called police had become a presence that cleaned up the mess for heroes. After all, most incidents were now handled by heroes. If they didn't hold law enforcement power in their hands, they might even be directly replaced.
It can be said that although they were called a national violent institution, their ability was only that. They were more responsible for finding Lancer whereabouts, and the actual arrest was left to the pro heroes. It can be said that whether the pro heroes would help depended entirely on the individual. Some who were very responsible would naturally respond positively, but the vast majority of pro heroes were still doing their own things.
But attacking the Pro Hero Association headquarters was different. This was a direct slap in the face. Any pro hero who had a little bit of honor would not be able to ignore it. The other pro heroes who received the call with All Might had almost the same thoughts as All Might, and of course, their choices were exactly the same.
Everyone rushed toward the headquarters without hesitation. Some of the pro heroes who were good at speed had already arrived outside the Hero Association, but...
"What... what the heck is this?!"
The Hero Association, which was originally full of modern atmosphere, had now become an ancient Western-style castle.
Many of the pro heroes who appeared here looked baffled. Many people even suspected that there was something wrong with their eyes. After looking at the surrounding reference objects, they had to admit that this was indeed their headquarters, but...
"President, what exactly happened here?"
The first to arrive at the scene was "Edgeshot," whose agency was nearby. As the current No. 5 pro hero, he had a high degree of say within the Hero Association. With him taking the lead, everyone naturally looked at the slightly hunched old man with a cane. His expression was extremely grim at this time.
"'ghost' suddenly appeared outside the association and forced his way in. Then he started to drive out the staff inside the headquarters, but after we just left the association, the headquarters started to become 'strange'..."
The so-called strangeness was naturally the fact that it had almost become a castle at this time, but what others cared more about were the staff who had not yet evacuated, as the president said.
"President! I'll go in and take a look first!"
After a moment of silence, Edgeshot also said these words with determined eyes, and the old man who was about to stop him could only nod helplessly in the end. As the president of the Hero Association, he knew countless heroes, and whenever they showed this kind of expression, he knew that his advice was no longer useful.
"Please be careful."
"Yes, President!"
After getting the other party's approval, Edgeshot pushed open the big door without hesitation, and everyone's hearts instantly clenched.
But a few seconds later, the big door was pushed open again, and many people's hearts almost jumped out of their throats.
"It seems that the door is normal."
Edgeshot, who stuck his head out from inside the door, simply said a sentence and then closed the door again.
The onlookers felt as if they were being played with, but at the same time, they also breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, it was good that this bizarre-looking castle wasn't like in a story where you couldn't get out once you went in.
However, Edgeshot was not relieved at all, as he had noticed the bizarreness of this place after going deeper.
First, the decorations. He touched them, and they were all "real"?
'According to the president, they only left here a few minutes ago. To turn the association headquarters into this, who exactly is 'ghost'?'
He was already very careful, but now he completely gave up the idea of solving this matter. After all, an unknown enemy is the most terrifying. He carefully and cautiously explored the castle and tried to draw a map.
But just as he pushed open a door...
"Clank~ Clank~"
The strange friction sound made him instinctively dodge, but what was strange to him was that the enemy didn't attack?
After secretly peeking through the crack in the door again, his eyes widened.
Several huge skeletons wearing armor and holding bone weapons were wandering inside the room at this time, and in the corner of the room lay a boy who seemed to have lost consciousness.
'Is it one of the people the president said didn't escape? Or is this a trap set by 'ghost'?'
It would be abnormal for a normal person not to be wary of a stranger in a bizarre environment, but after hesitating for a while, he still activated his "quirk" without hesitation.
Whether it was a trap or not, as a hero, he could not turn a blind eye to a possible victim!
'Paperize!'
Although "Edgeshot" always liked to dress up as a ninja, he actually had little to do with ninjas. This was just his personal hobby. His quirk was "Paperize," which was to be able to stretch his body like paper. It sounds strange, right? But in reality, with his training, this ability had been honed into an extremely bug-like ability.
This not only allowed him to attack from unexpected angles, but it was also hard to guard against. With his training, the speed of his stretching could even reach the speed of sound at its limit.
Most of his enemies were completely restrained by his body before they could even react, completely losing their ability to resist.
The enemy this time was a little bizarre, so he didn't directly restrain them as he usually would, but instead pulled out the short sword that was tucked into his waist.
'If the opponent isn't human, then it doesn't matter.'
"Slash~!"
The short sword, with a sound of air being broken, slashed fiercely toward the skeleton that was holding the giant bone sword. Then...
"Crack~!"
The short sword effortlessly cut off two of the skeleton's ribs, but...
"Crack~ Crack~!"
The skeleton that discovered the attacker ran over with its bone weapon, and Edgeshot looked baffled, as if he didn't understand what had happened.
