Two more

"A game?"

"That's right!" Hokusai smiled and said, "If you can win this game, we will let all of you go, but if you can't, then sorry."

Sorry.

This word should have a good meaning, but when it came from Hokusai, it came with a different meaning.

The heroes, who were trapped at stake, wanted to say something, telling Mineta to stop since this game definitely wasn't simple.

However, did he have a choice now?

"What should I do?" Mineta looked at Hokusai with a piercing gaze.

"Whoa! Whoa! What a scary gaze. I am so scared that I might kill all of them now."

"..."

Hokusai smiled and said, "Calm down, okay? It's just a game. Nothing so serious."

"Don't waste my time."

"Geez, impatient, aren't we? But that's true. I am sure that everyone is curious about our game." Hokusai looked at Mineta and raised his three fingers. "Three times."

"Three times?"

"If you can stand up after we attack you three times, then we will let you and everyone here go." Hokusai smiled and said, "It's easy, right?"

"....."

Everyone was lost for words.

Attacking him three times?

If Mineta's opponent was just a small punk, it didn't matter how many of them, but the one that would attack him was Hokusai!

All-For-One also planned to join too, without a doubt.

"That's an interesting game, Hokusai-kun."

"Thank you, Sensei. I am also proud of how smart I am."

The two talked happily as if the dilemma of the boy in front of them didn't matter.

"Of course, we're not a devil, so we will be fair."

"Fair?"

"Yes." Hokusai nodded and said, "When we attack you, you can use your Quirk to protect yourself. It's fair, right?"

"......"

"Huh? Is that okay?"

"Then, it is easy, right?"

Almost everyone knew about Mineta's Quirk.

As long as Mineta used his Quirk, everything would be easy.

"Stupid! Did you forget about the law of this country?"

"Law?"

"What do you mean?"

While many were confused, many also realized Hokusai's plan.

Hokusai's rules might seem fair since he let Mineta use his Quirk to protect themselves when he was attacked.

It was fair, right?

However, many forgot about the rules of this country.

"The act of using one's Quirk in public without a license is illegal, even if they use it to save lives or stop criminals. Quirks are seen as too dangerous for untrained civilians without a license to use them, as there is a significant risk of unintentionally hurting someone or damaging property."

In other words, as long as Mineta used his Quirk, he would be labeled as a villain.

"Go on. You can use your Quirk," Hokusai said with a smile.

"Yeah, we're okay with it." All-for-one nodded.

The two of them weren't in a hurry and played with Mineta.

However, many started to think how ridiculous this rule was.

One was about to be killed, yet one wasn't allowed to use their Quirk?

Many wanted to curse the government at this moment.

However, the government also wasn't going to be silent and quickly sent the police, who were nearby, to send a message to Mineta.

"Um-um..."

"Yes?"

Hokusai looked at the tv anchor curiously.

"I think that someone is allowed to use their Quirk in case of self-defense."

Yes, in case of self-defense, when one is about to be beaten or killed, one is allowed to use their Quirk.

"That's a good argument, but you're wrong about one thing."

Hokusai smiled and said, "We're playing a game. We're not hurting him, and you agree to be part of this game, right, Mineta-kun?"

"......"

Game?

Was this a game?

"Even without a Quirk, it is easy for me to win this game," Mineta said calmly.

"Whoa! What amazing confidence. If you're confident, how about we start the game right away? I am sure that everyone is impatient." Hokusai looked at the rest and said, "Come on. Let's move away first. Let's not stay here. Also, Mineta-kun, you stay there."

While they were confused, they followed his words. Yet, when they were far away, they quickly realized what Hokusai planned to do.

"Come on! Let's start the game! All-Might! Let's do it!"

Suddenly, the black All-Might, who had been silent and didn't follow everyone, moved. His eyes gleamed into the rainbow color, and pressure surged in every direction.

Everyone, who watched this scene, felt their goosebumps rise as their legs were weak.

"No!"

His girlfriends, classmates, and many people who knew him wanted to stop this, but it was impossible since they were too far away, and everything just happened too quickly.

The black All-Might concentrated all of his power into his fist before delivering an incredibly powerful punch and smashing his target into the ground.

"United States of Smash!"

Everyone was familiar with this technique since All-Might had used this technique once, but he was still beaten by the combination of All-For-One, Hokusai, and the black All-Might.

However, this time, it was different.

This time, the one who sent this attack was the black All-Might, and the target was Mineta!

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!*

It was as if a missile had dropped on this city and razed everything to nothing.

The wind pressure created by this move also left a massive crater in the ground and spawned a twister strong enough to carry nearby buildings.

Everyone was thrown away.

Fortunately, All-For-One quickly moved by creating a barrier-like Quirk, protecting all of them from the impact of this move.

"Whoa, whoa. Isn't it a bit too much?" All-For-One asked with a laugh.

"No, I think this isn't enough," Hokusai said quietly.

"Oh?" All-For-One's expression also changed.

"It's okay. It's just a game."

"Haha... that's right. It's just a game."

As the two were talking, no one else could say anything, and they just watched as Mineta was swallowed by this fist.

No one said anything, and no one thought he could stay alive.

Ryukyu became crazy, and she kept moving around, screaming, even if her mouth was wrapped. Her eyes were red and were in tears as she stared at Hokusai and All-For-One as if she wanted to kill all of them.

The rest also weren't much better, and they were all furious, watching how Hokusai and All-For-One played with Mineta.

However, no one expected this result.

When the dust disappeared, they saw Mineta's figure.

He stood there with his spine straight and folded his arms. He wasn't thrown, passed away, or even dying, but it was clear that his injuries were so severe that one could see many brushes and blood on his body. They could even see that his chest had sunk, which made them unable to see this scene straight.

All of them were crying to see this scene, wondering why they had to torture Mineta like this.

However, when one thought that this was over, he looked at Hokusai with a piercing gaze, which was enough to send a chill to everyone who saw his eyes.

"Two more," Mineta said calmly.

"?!"

All-For-One shuddered for a while, and while he might not have realized, he had a cold sweat on his entire body.

'Kill.'

This thought quickly emerged in his mind since he didn't want to fail any longer.
