Chapter 7: Heroic Praise with Aid

After seeing the kids successfully beat the Sludge Villain, the Pro Heroes finally intervened, stuffing the fainted Villain in some sort of reinforced containment unit to keep him from escaping. 

Although, most people at the scene doubt that he would even escape due to the damage dealt upon him. 

The crowd, who were watching the action from a safe distance, erupted in cheers. Cameras flashed as reporters took in all the info! Scoop, scoop, what a big scoop!

A bunch of highschoolers did what none of the Heroes could do and defeated the Villain, working together to restrain him with the combined efforts of their quirks. 

"Just smile and wave, boys." Yuki waved his arm, grinning as the crowd cheered louder, "Smile and wave."

Tsubasa and Kirito glanced around in excitement. They love us…. They actually loved us!

Katsuki was smirking, no doubt proud of the fact that he managed to get back at the Villain for kidnapping him!

"Gosh, I hate all this attention…" Momo sighed with a 'helpless' look, combing her hair back, she 'accidentally' turned to the side, posing, showing off her cute figure to the crowd. 

Response, were camera flashes from the reporter. 

Izuku was smiling widely, his hands shaking in excitement. He looked around, and seeing all the smiles aiming at him, he couldn't help, but feel happy as well. They actually did it. They not only rescued Katsuki, but they also took down a Villain!

His first Villain! Izuku was ecstatic!

On the side, some Pro Heroes faces twitched when they got a personal close-up of the Villain.

White eyes, foam coming out from the mouth, bruises forming around the body, scorch marks from that explosive boy's quirk… 

Knowing that the Villain, who made them struggle for a long time and created a lot of problems for both them and the Police, was actually reduced to this point by a bunch of kids, seemed almost surreal. 

Death Arms, known for his strong punches, was unable to deal any damage when his fists made contact with the Villain's sludge-filled body. 

Backdraft, knowing that he wasn't capable of fighting such a Villain, made the choice to stand aside and assist the police in making sure nobody passes the safe zone. He also utilized his quirk to extinguish as many flames as he could in the area.

Kamui Woods was in a rather difficult position himself at the time. He couldn't use his quirk since the flames caused by Katsuki's explosion could ignite his wood, and could have made the situation even worse, so until a better Hero showed up, he decided to save the citizens trapped in the burning buildings nearby. 

Mount Lady, due to needing at least two lanes to handle her thickness, was unable to confront the Villain in the narrow alleyway unless she deactivated her quirk, but if she were to do so, her strength will not be as strong as it was when it was active. 

In general, besides waiting for someone with a more suitable quirk, the Heroes were helpless, and then they watched a bunch of kids control the Villain and then beat the ever living hell out of him with brutal efficiency as a team. 

This matter… stung their pride a bit. A bunch of kids doing the job that not even they could do at all, honestly hurts.

But still, they broke the rules… This issue needs to be addressed. 

"And now…" Death Arms turned to the kids with a stern face. "What should we do about all of you?"

The Heroes also turned with serious faces. 

Tsubasa and Kirito, who were waving excitedly at the cheering crowd, gulped when they saw the Pro Heroes walking in their direction. 

Tsubasa looked at them, and then looked away. "If I run now, what are the chances I can escape?"

"Very, very, low." Kirito said. "And besides, we practically risked our lives coming here to save Katsuki, also Izuku was included! Dude, if we get in trouble for saving people then the law is just a broken mess." 

Oh no… Izuku flinched. He already knew what was coming. 

Interfering in a Hero's work, ignoring the safety protocols made by the Police, using quirks without a proper Hero License in public to confront a villain…

It did not look good for them. T-They're gonna get arrested-no, wait, can they arrest minors for vigilantism? B-But we saved kacchan, no, that still doesn't change the fact that we interrupted the Heroes line of duty.

Opposite of Izuku, Katsuki was already scowling at the approaching Heroes, his hands shoved into the pockets of his pants. If these extras think that they could lecture him especially when they stood aside while he was busy fighting for his life, they can expect an explosion to come up in their faces!

The calmest ones in the situation was naturally Yuki Aoi, and his clone, Momo Nishimiya. 

Momo looked at the Heroes with a knowing look, smoothing out her skirt, she rested her broom against her shoulder. "Time to face the music."

"Welp." Yuki slapped his knees. "Life was fun while it lasted." he turned to the others with a grin. 

"Guys, if we end up in the same cell at jail, I call top bunk!"

"Please act more serious!"" Tsubasa and Izuku wept. 

Stopping right before the kids, Death Arms crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking quite imposing. "Do you kids understand what you just did?" 

"Beat up the Villain while you guys did nothing, but shit!" Katsuki scowled at the Heroes. 

At this, the Heroes winced at that. 

"But still, you! With the green hair!" Kamui Woods pointed at Izuku, who flinched. "Are you a moron? Do you have a death wish! Didn't your parents ever teach you to avoid danger ESPECIALLY when a Villain is involved!"

"I-I'm sorry…" Izuku lowered his head with guilt. 

"Kamui Woods is right! There was absolutely no reason for you to put yourself in danger like that!" Death Arms said with a frown. 

"B-But… I had to do something. Kacchan is my friend, and…" Izuku looked up, meeting Death Arm's eyes with a helpless gaze. "You all didn't move in to save him. It looked to me that he was about to suffocate in the sludge due to lack of oxygen." 

Yuki covered his mouth, looking at Izuku as if a parent just saw their child accomplish something great. 

Was that a burn? That definitely classifies as a burn, right?!

Seeing how silent the Heroes were, Yuki and Momo secretly 'oohed' in their hearts. 

Looking at Death Arm's face, Backdraft decided to speak up. "Even so, young man, and this goes for the rest of you as well. Charging in like that, even if it is to help a friend, you could've gotten yourselves hurt or even worse, killed!"

"It's reckless behavior! That's what it was!" Mount Lady walked up with her arms underneath her well endowed chest, causing them to bounce lightly. "Even though you guys managed to take down the Villain, you also broke the law by using your quirk in public without a license!" 

Mount Lady shook angrily, causing her breast to bounce even more. 

Yuki. Tsubasa, Kirito, and even freakin' Izuku Midoriya, followed their movements, before looking away with a blush. 

Momo's lips thinned, she turned to Katsuki, just to see his eyes drift downwards for a few seconds before going back up!

Momo: "..." she couldn't believe what she just saw, Katsuki didn't even seem like that kind of guy, but she saw it! 

Playing into character, Momo rolled her eyes at Katsuki with a huff. "Pervert."

"Huh?" Katsuki had question marks. 

Seeing the way Momo turned, made Katsuki suspicious. Knowing her after all these years, Katsuki knew she was pissed off. But what about? Was it him? He didn't do shit this time! Hell, he was the victim here!

On the border between anger and confusion, Katsuki just grumbled and began glaring at the Heroes. 

Seeing how the group looked away made the Heroes think they were feeling guilty. 

Death Arms sighed. "Each and every one of you did a good thing. A very good thing, I'll admit. But next time, you should leave this to the Heroes. We just don't want any casualties to happen in a situation in which we can prevent them from happening in the first place."

To the Heroes surprise, the stern puncher spoke with a much softer voice. "Alright, listen up. What you kids did, I get it. I really do."

This had Yuki's group blink, caught off guard by the shift in tone. 

Yuki raised an eyebrow, but still kept quiet, to listen to what the Macho Man had to say. 

"I know that feeling, wanting to rush out and save someone dear to you. We've all experienced that before. But you have to understand that there are rules you need to follow." Death Arms lowered his arms, releasing his fists with a sigh. "And yeah, you pulled it off…"

Death Arms closely scrutinized Yuki. "I don't know what your quirk is, boy, but you made good use of it, and seeing how you lead the charge, I guess that you're the leader of thi-"

"HE'S NOT THE LEADER!" Katsuki denied loudly causing every single person there to jump in fright from the sudden action. "AND EVEN IF THERE WAS A LEADER, THE LEADER IS OBVIOUSLY, ME! I'VE ALWAYS BEEN THE LEADER AND NOT FREAKIN YUK-I'll be quiet." 

Katsuki looked obedient just after Momo slapped the broom handle against his head.

Momo pulled the broom away with a twitching eye. Damn, do you have to yell so loudly? You actually scared me!

"I'm so sorry about that." Yuki apologized in a sincere tone, "He was dropped on the head as a baby, and became a bit autistic. That's why he yells all the time."

"O-Oh. Is that so?" Death Arms looked at Katsuki with pity. "My apologies for not understanding your situation." 

The Heroes also copied Death Arms. 

Mount Lady: "My apologies."

Backdraft: "My apologies."

Kamui Woods: "My apologies." 

It was no wonder why he was so loud, even when struggling in the Sludge, the amount of yelling and curses he used seemed quite excessive even for someone who was in danger. 

Dropped as a baby and becoming autistic? And this young man was also taken captive by a Villain. 

Such a sad, sad child. He has their condolences. 

Tsubasa, Izuku, and Kirito's faces looked hilarious from Yuki's point of view. 

Yuki, you…

On the side, Katsuki's chest heaved up and down, his furious face makes even the devil look like an innocent toddler. 

Momo rubbed Katsuki on the back, whispering calming words into his ear, successfully causing him to back down, not before sending one last glare at Yuki, muttering about that he'll get back at him someday. 

"But here's the thing." Death Arms coughed, his gaze hardened. "The outcome of today could have been entirely different in the way you took action! It could have been worse! And we..." he gestured to his comrades. "We do not rush blindly into action. We train, assess the threat, minimize the risk as best as we can for not just ourselves, but for everyone around us-"

"Boring! I didn't just get a fresh cut today in order to hear some talk-no-jutsu from a gym bro! Sir, {Actually, you think we're amazing and should be praised}." Yuki interrupted Death Arm's speech with no regret. 

And just like that, the Heroes' faces switched up!

Death Arms grumpy face melted into a beaming smile. "You know what? You kids were incredible out there! Such quick thinking! Such a brave and bold approach!"

The serious Kamui Woods clapped enthusiastically, the sound of wood clashing whenever he clapped. "The coordination you all showed when fighting that nasty Villain was astronomical! Future top Heroes, every one of you!"

Backdraft pumped his fist into the air, with such glee that people would have thought he had won the biggest lottery out there. "I've never seen such raw talent in rookies before! You truly are the MVP's!"

Mount Lady smiled happily, "If only I was younger…!"

At this, Yuki snapped his neck towards Mount Lady in stunned silence. 

If only you were younger??? What do you mean?! 

Yuki, ignoring the sussy hero, lifted his hand out with a sad look on. "We're so tired and injured during our battle with that dastardly Villain. If only, {Some Heroes, can aid us}." 

Yuki glanced off into the distance. His short bowl-haircut, silver hair flowing in the wind. His brown eyes told a story. A story… that needed to be heard. "Nonchalantly staring off into the distance~ Yuki waits for some assistance~ Clouds drift by, flows like my rhymes~ Yoooo~" he rapped. 

"..." a snort was heard from the group, they even had their eyes wide open. Katsuki, Izuku, Tsubasa and Kirito never expected Yuki to use his quirk on the Pro Heroes.

What a mad man! As expected from the class's bully! But, what do you mean by aid?

Momo blinked. 

Are you really gonna-. Momo's question was answered when the Pro Heroes, guided by Yuki's words and thoughts, took out their wallets and started handing Yuki their cash.

Momo looked to her side, and sure enough, all of the boys had their jaws dropped. 

She grinned, gosh, was she such a troll or what?

"Soooo~" Yuki started, safely securing the money in his pants. "Are we free to go?"

"Yup. Villain is captured and the area is being closed off by the Police. You can all go no-" before Death Arms could finish, Yuki hurriedly pushed his group to run. 

Seeing the group of kids running away, Death Arms looked at his comrades with a grin, "What a bunch of nic-" and then he fell silent, now regaining control of his body. 

The other Heroes' smile dropped slowly.

"... What just happened?" Backdraft asked.

"I…" Kamui Woods held his head in confusion. "I don't know."

Next to the men, Mount Lady was blushing, what the hell was she thinking! And quickly looking into her wallet, she was pissed! She was actually robbed! 

She'll remember this! 

…o0o…

"BWAHAHAHAHA!" Yuki laughed as he ran. 

"I, Hahahaha, can't believe you did that!" Tsubasa laughed out loud, his chubby frame bouncing as he ran. 

"Forget about that, did you hear Mount Lady? What was she planning on saying?!" Kirito grinned, as they ran down the street together. 

Izuku was in tears. "WE'RE SERIOUSLY BREAKING THE RULES!"

"Hahaha!" Momo's sweet voice filled the air, smiling to the point of showering her dimples. 

"Hahahaha!" Katsuki let out a genuine smile. 

As much as he hated Yuki sometimes, he had to admit… 

Out of all the kids in class, Yuki…

… was the most special!

Special, for an idiot! Hahahaha!

…o0o…

As the group ran, they unknowingly passed by a skinny blond man, who almost resembled a skeleton.

This man stared in the direction the kids ran, his eyes falling on Yuki, then locking in on the back of the boy who claimed to be quirkless. 

"Izuku Midoriya, huh." 

The man's eyes shined when remembering what the young boy did just to save his friend from the hands of a Villain. 

This boy, he… he decided!
