"Make way!"
On the periphery of the flames, the Pro Heroes arrived late. Seeing the massive fire ahead, they instantly felt a headache coming on.
"I'll go in first to save people." After Kamui Woods finished speaking, he didn't wait for the other Pro Heroes to reply and rushed into the sea of fire first, beginning to search for survivors.
Many reporters rushed over upon hearing the news, joining the passersby to instantly block the area so tightly that not even water could trickle through.
"Can you tell us the specific situation?" The muscular Death Arms walked up to a police officer at the side and asked.
"According to witnesses at the scene, one child was taken as a hostage, and another child is currently conducting a rescue."
"That's simply reckless!" Hearing that the rescuer was a child, Death Arms felt helpless. "Who created these flames? And the child taken as a hostage..."
"Someone is coming out!"
The voice of the crowd abruptly interrupted the conversation between Death Arms and the police officer. Not far away, a young man wearing casual clothes with black hair and black eyes slowly walked out of the sea of fire, without a trace of panic on his face.
"Officer, that's the child who was taken hostage."
"Did the kid who rushed in earlier actually manage to save him?"
"That's not right. Only he came out. Where is the kid who did the saving?"
...
Seeing Orion, Death Arms hurriedly stepped forward, squatted down halfway, looked at him with concern, and asked, "How are you? Are you injured anywhere?"
"No. There is someone inside, the one who saved me just now." Orion shook his head gently, then raised his hand to point at the sea of fire behind him.
"Don't worry, I will definitely get him out." Death Arms looked at Orion with a righteous expression. "Go to a safe place first, I will..."
"Look, the kid who saved him is coming out too!"
"Uh?" Death Arms' words were interrupted by the crowd again. He looked up somewhat stiffly, staring in disbelief at Bakugō Katsuki, who walked out of the sea of fire almost unscathed.
"He actually managed to take down the criminal single-handedly without a scratch?" Death Arms looked at Bakugō Katsuki, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
This child would absolutely have a boundless future. If he could be recruited after graduation to join his agency, he would definitely be a great asset.
Seeing Bakugō Katsuki and confirming that the criminal had been defeated, the reporters who wanted to grab the headline news immediately swarmed up, instantly breaking through the police cordon.
A ten-year-old child defeating a criminal that even Pro Heroes found difficult to deal with was definitely front-page headline material.
Looking at the large group of reporters in front of him, several cross-popping veins appeared on Bakugō Katsuki's forehead. "Tsk, don't get it wrong. I didn't defeat the criminal."
"You didn't defeat him?" Hearing Bakugō Katsuki's words, most of the reporters slowed down, looking at him with confusion.
"Then who defeated him?"
Bakugō Katsuki didn't answer the reporters. He turned his gaze toward Orion, who was standing beside Death Arms.
The reporters followed Bakugō Katsuki's gaze and naturally noticed the black-haired, black-eyed Orion as well.
"You mean to say this young man defeated the criminal?" One of the female reporters looked at Orion, then at Bakugō Katsuki. "But wasn't he the hostage?"
"Go ask him yourself." Bakugō Katsuki curled his lips and turned his head away, extremely annoyed, because he didn't know what had happened back then either.
Anyway, the criminal suddenly fainted. It was inexplicable.
"Kacchan!" At this moment, a green-haired youth squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty. He rushed in front of Bakugō Katsuki in a few steps, looking at him with concern. "Are you okay?"
After all, the target of that Sludge Villain earlier was him. If he hadn't kept chasing All Might, this Sludge Villain wouldn't have taken the opportunity to escape and cause trouble here.
"Damn Deku, what are you doing here?" Bakugō Katsuki glared fiercely at Midoriya Izuku, then looked at Orion, who was surrounded by reporters, with a look of displeasure. "Tsk."
...
"Student, may I ask your name? What is your Quirk? Where do you go to school?"
"You are so amazing, have you considered going to U.A.?"
"May I ask..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Orion got a headache from these reporters. He kept backing away but couldn't escape the reporters' encirclement.
Every time he took a step back, those reporters took a step forward, forming a vicious cycle.
As for Death Arms, he had long been submerged by the reporters, his whereabouts unknown.
"Stop!" Orion took a deep breath, secretly condensed Chakra, and shouted loudly, "I didn't defeat the criminal, that blond guy did!"
"Huh?" Hearing Orion's words, the female reporter from before was a bit confused. "But he said you defeated him."
"You all saw it too, his Quirk is much more powerful than mine. So, it's only possible that he defeated the criminal, not me." Facing these annoying reporters, Orion spouted nonsense with a straight face.
"But..."
Now, all the reporters were confused. Under normal circumstances, encountering this kind of situation, shouldn't they be fighting for credit?
After all, in the near future, these children would also worry about employment. Encountering such an event and performing well meant invitations from various agencies would naturally be sent to their homes.
It was common to see people shirking responsibility, but this was truly the first time they had seen someone shirking credit.
