Chapter 72

I was wearing my Hamon Warrior outfit while walking down the streets with Enji and Shoto.

As it seems, Endeavour had taken us in a patrol after his secretary had told him something.

The most annoying, yet strict order was not to interfere and fight. After all, the law prohibited to engage in a fight with villains without a license. Unless, of course, you had to. Anyway, I had decided to watch carefully and learn, if there is something to learn.

Soon, we reached a narrow large street, with a bank, shops, parks, and all that you could guess in a modern street.

People around were cheerfully flattering and chatting.

When I turned my head, I saw some ladies pointing to me. Yeah, right, my Hamon warrior outfit is attractive for sure. Since I'm not unsecured about my body, I walked confidently, while hearing some whistles.

'I guess this would be life in case I became a hero.' I lifted my head and walked proudly. In case I got into the spot of light, I'll pose then.

Endeavour suddenly stopped.

"Alright. Be careful. There are reports from a civilian about some criminals hiding there." He was looking left and right, frowning as he kept walking. Well… so, this why his secretary had called him and I had to get out to patrol now, without even having to wait to change my clothes.

Turning his head, Shoto clicked his tongue and frowned.

"Remember, you're only allowed to watch. Do not engage on your own and only report if you see something." He was looking at me when he said that.

"Good grief." I pushed the scarf to my place.

"Humph." The half fire ice guy harrumphed.

After a couple of sighs, Endeavour, I, and Shoto were about to separate, as we're to walk around to spot if we noticed anything weird.

I noticed a shop and asked Shoto if he wants anything before he shook his head in refuse. I got some Ice Cream and walked around.

However, as it seems, the prediction of Endeavour seemed to be right.

Just after a few licks of the vanilla ice-cream, we heard a bell ringing.

It came from the direction of the bank.

There were they: a group of five guys and two girls getting out while having money in bags and pushing everyone.

I was about to get closer but Shoto said, "Leave it for him. His sidekicks would be here. Besides, it's not wise to interfere without a license or his permission to fight."

I gave Shoto one glance before walking forward. "I'm just getting a closer look."

Very soon, police cars arrived and cornered the bank.

The villains didn't seem to be a group of people that can be stopped by normal means as they had their way of pushing the cars and making them fly away.

Luckily for the police, Endeavour came and stood in their lead while looking at the villains.

Once the robbers saw the second hero in the ranking, they took some near hostages.

This left the flames hero no choice but calling some sidekicks from his agency. He then used fire to wrap it around the villains, who seemed to be afraid and trapped.

As I was watching from far, I stepped back, so my ice-cream wouldn't be affected by the heat.

'Hostages situation…' I watched, though, and learned how to deal effectively.

'The best way is to stop the world and kick them.'

Anyway, it continued quickly.

The sidekicks arrived here soon, and I checked them.

Endeavour surely had some hot sidekicks working for him – female ones. They cornered the villains and managed to get the hostages back. But just after that, they engaged in a battle where the robbers went all out against them while using tricky Quirks.

This seems to be on the verge of ending very soon, I had to move. I gave my back and walked on the street. Picking up my phone and giving my back to the events, I called Julia and had a small chat, before asking Itsuka about her day, which she answered, horrible as she had learned how to apply makeup. After I sent her some laughing emoji, she told me that Momo says hi. I didn't expect that she is with her as well.

After remembering the USJ incident and the festival, where Momo's chest was on my neck, I rolled my eyes and told Itsuka to take care of herself and turned off the phone.

"Done texting."

"Yes."

Shoto was with me, as he didn't seem to be interested in watching his old man doing the work.

"Move out of my way!"

We heard a voice and stopped.

Turning, there was a bulky man with his fingers being blades.

He had his hand on the neck of one black-haired woman, who had cat ears, short neck-length brown hair, bright blue eyes, and hourglass shape.

He was holding her, running, and pushing the people away. Very soon, he stopped in front of us.

"Hero!" he gasped unconsciously and stopped in front of us. "move out of my way, or I'll kill her."

I get it. Because of our costumes, he seemed to consider our pros.

The catgirl groaned in pain.

"And you, whatever you are, stripper, move away."

A deep frown was drawn on my face when I made eye contact with him. I'm not a stripper you.

The robber didn't look human completely, as there were some blades in his eyebrows, elbow, and even his fingers.

"Listen,' I stared at him. "Not everyone has a body to ashamed of, like you." Then I pressed on my muscles as if I were mocking him back.

"Hey, move out of my way!" he yelled as he turned his face to look back.

Shoto was raising his hand, looking at his eyes, before lowering it. He didn't seem to have what it take it to do something against a villain who has a hostage;

"Help me… please." The cat-woman said in a cute voice. Did I mention that I have a weakness for kitties and consider them cute? This made me view the robber as a subhuman.

"Shut up!" He tightened his sharp fingers next to her neck.

I looked behind him to Endeavour, who was still busy with the others. He won't arrive here, and the robber doesn't seem to have the patience to wait for him.

I then at the villain, who seemed to lose patience and was so nervous.

'Time freeze, now' I said in my mind.

Everything has stopped from making a move.

Shoto was still looking at the villain and the catgirl was still looking afraid. The villain was still on his place, frozen, looking hostile and afraid.

Using the 8.5 seconds I have now, I made Star Platinum take the hostage up and put her next to me.

Then, he gave him a strong punch, which wasn't enough to kill, so I wouldn't get in a legal headache and scratched my hair.

"Time flows again." When I said that, the time moved again.

The mutant guy suddenly flew tens of meters back until he landed in front of the bank.

"Kya…" The catgirl who was now next to me screamed and jumped unconsciously, to embrace me.

She stopped screaming and started panting. "Where am I ~nya~."

"You can leave me," I said, coldly. I scratched her cat ear to make her aware that she isn't with the villain.

Although, another part of me did that for a selfish desire, as I have always wanted to do that secretly.

She realised that she was hugging me, and then left me, before bowing down.

"Thank you sure."

I was looking at her chest, which jiggled up and down as she repeated that move. I shook my head when she stared up and seemed to check me. When our eyes met, she blushed.

I frowned, as I knew where this would lead.

I turned and waved my hand, "Whatever. Go back home."

I have enough trouble with women these days and I don't want to make more mess.

"Thank you. What's your hero name?"

"Bruce Lee." Somehow, I found it funny to declare that.

"Can I have your phone numbernya~?" She said, in a cute tone.

"Sorry," I shrugged my shoulder. "I'm not having it."

"This is bad, nya~ I can give you mine."

Then an officer came and took her.

He asked me if I was fine, and I nodded.

I acted like I had done nothing while my hand was in my pocket, touching something made of gold.

Since I was aware that I won't take credit for this, I had decided to take a small benefit when I had stopped the time earlier.

The robber had some jewellers in his pocket, so I had taken something. It would be good to gift it to a girl.

It's my payment, I'm not doing a charity.

"What was that?" Shoto came closer to me and asked.

"What you've seen," I replied.

"I'm not trying to scold you or anything. The girl just teleported next to you while the guy flew back all of the sudden. It was like everything that happened in one instant." He was frowning so badly.

I looked down to him, smiled, and patted his arm. "I was fast using my Quirk. Maybe I'm faster than your eye can see."

"You're strong. I see." He lowered his head and clenched his fist.

"I know." I didn't deny it.

Soon, Endeavour came after dealing with the rest, stared at Shoto, before staring at me.

"Did you take action?" He asked, with deep facial expression.

"Did you see anything?" I asked back.

There was nothing to see. That's why I had stopped time instead of dealing with him using my Quirk.

I shrugged my shoulder. Shoto was on my side as he said the same.

"Not important anyway, since the police didn't see anything." Came Enji's reply.

"This patrol is over," he said. "You can have the rest of the day. Shoto, show him where he stays."
