Shie Hassaikai (III)…

[POV Reo]

"Look...!! What do we have here" Rumi said already in her battle maniac mode and jumped towards Kendo Rappa. Kendo Rappa and Hekiji Tengai were completely surprised to see us appear by ripping out the whole wall. Kendo Rappa was caught unguarded and Rumi landed a solid punch on his face.

Punching is not Rumi's strong point and I know that, she also knows that, that is why Kendo Rappa only took a step back after getting hit by Rumi. Rumi rushed towards Kendo Rappa and kicked towards him but suddenly a yellow-colored barrier appeared between Rumi and Kendo Rappa.

"It isn't nice to interrupt someone while you should be caring about yourself" I said to Hekiji Tangai, I knew his Quirk was about making barriers. Rumi also looked displeased that someone interrupted her fight. Kendo Rappa was also the same, he is also a battle maniac same as Rumi, and he is also a hand-to-hand fighter.

Hearing my voice Hekiji Tengai's eyes grew wide which were closed until now and immediately jumped away and made a barrier between him and me. Looks like he knows me.

"We need to retreat, Rappa, we can't fight Mirko and Itsuki Reo, they are out of our capabilities" Hejiki Tengai tried to reason with Kendo Rappa but he seemed to have other ideas.

"If you want you can run away but I have finally encountered another warrior like me who also seeks battle. Rabbit Hero Mirko you deserve my respect..." Kendo Rappa went on giving off a speech about how he met another warrior but Rumi cut him off.

"Yeah, enough of that. Now let's fight!" Rumi exclaimed in joy and rushed towards Kendo Rappa.

"You took the words right out of my mouth" Kendo Rappa said while dodging Rumi's kick.

I turned my eyes back towards Hejiki Tengai who was still thinking about what he should do. The barrier he made between us was still here.

"It's too late for you to run" I said and manipulated the blood inside his body slightly. Hejiki spat out blood from his mouth and fell on his knees while his barrier dissipated. From what I remember from anime, he isn't like other villains and hates fighting so I would let him go with some broken bones.

The wall beside me ripped apart and the iron rods inside the wall floated towards me. I morphed the iron rods into iron sand which engulfed Hejiki Tengai. The iron sand wrapped around his both hands and only after putting a slight pressure two distinct crack sounds were heard along with Hejiki Tengai screams. I walked up to him and kicked him in the face knocking him out.

I kept standing by the side of the unconscious body of Hejiki Tengai while searching around for other Heroes and villains. As I had mentioned previously, it's too easy for me to differentiate between students and adults but I can't differentiate among adults.

My concentration was suddenly broken by the maniacal laughter of Rumi, she must be having too much fun now. I turned around and saw Rumi landing a barrage of high-powered kicks on Kendo Rappa whose body was soaked in his blood. Even in this condition, Kendo Rappa didn't back down and attacked Rumi with his flurry of punches, Rumi dodged all of them still laughing like a maniac.

Now that I think of it their fighting styles are completely different. Kendo Rappa uses punches while Rumi uses kicks. Though Rumi is on a completely different level when compared to Kendo Rappa, which could be clearly seen here. Kendo Rappa is strong but Rumi isn't the 5th ranked hero just for show.

Rumi finally landed a kick on Kendo Rappa's head which finally dropped Kendo Rappa on the floor completely unconscious.

"Hah...!! That was so much fun, he was really good. One of the best I have ever fought" Rumi said while walking towards me.

"I am glad that you were able to let loose" I spoke to Rumi with a gentle smile on my face. Rumi's eyes finally turned to now unconscious Hejiki Tengai.

"What happened to him?" Rumi asked me pointing at Hejiki Tengai.

"I knocked him out after breaking his arms" I told Rumi who just nodded her head in understanding. That is one of the reasons I like her... even though she knows a lot about me she is completely fine with it like nothing.

"Let's go then, let's go and look for others" Rumi spoke still excited.

"Yeah sure" I said and we started walking through the corridor. Both of us stayed silent, I looked at Rumi who seemed to be bothered by something.

"What's on your mind?" I asked Rumi who blushed slightly. I didn't even know that she could blush. This seemed to be quite unnatural on her but not unwelcome.

"Would you like to go on a date with me? Of course, if both of your girlfriends are fine with it" Rumi spoke back in her usual attitude. Wow... her mood and attitude changes real fast. I have already spoken with Momo that I would try to get Rumi and Nemuri also knows that, so I don't need to get confirmation from them.

"Sure, I would love to" I said to Rumi and this made her smile. This wasn't her usual smile that she showed the others. This was much more gentler and beautiful. Her smile made a smile appear on my own face.

"But are you sure that you don't need to ask Momo or Nemuri? I don't want to make problems for you" Rumi spoke while she still had the smile on her face.

"You don't need to worry about that. To tell you honestly I also liked you, I had decided to ask you during the Hero Work Studies but this came up. I have already told Momo and Nemuri that I like you and they are completely fine with it" I told the truth to Rumi, I don't think that I needed to hide this. It's true that I had thought to ask her out after Shie Hassaikai's raid. Rumi seemed to be faster than me.

Hearing me Rumi just nodded her head she was about something more but I cut her off. We were finally near some life signatures.

"We are here... get ready!" I said to her, Rumi immediately got back in her usual hero mode though I could still feel her lust for battle.

I ripped apart the wall and entered a completely destroyed room, Suneater was sitting on the floor leaning on the wall while three villains identified as Toya Setsuno, Yu Hojo, and Soramitsu Tabe were laying on the floor completely beaten up.

"You did great Suneater, do you need help?" Rumi asked Suneater.

Suneater raised up his head and looked at us and immediately became too scared to talk to us even though Rumi complimented him. Rumi usually doesn't give compliments but when she does it means that she is really impressed.

I gathered all the metal debris inside the room and morphed them to form metal ropes. The ropes wrapped around the limbs of the defeated villains, even though I wanted to cripple them but their current physical condition wasn't good at all.

"Just nod your head if you are fine" I heard Rumi speak, she was still trying to get an answer out of Suneater. Suneater finally nodded his head.

"Will you be fine?" Rumi again asked.

Suneater again nodded his head, both Rumi and I finally decided to leave the room after we were sure that Suneater was completely fine and was only resting. Wow... that guy needs serious help.

Suddenly the room around us started to warp again but I grabbed Rumi's hand tightly so we don't get separated. Even though I can hold my own and Rumi can also do the same but I still enjoy her company. I was thinking all this and didn't notice the slight blush on Rumi's face. Like I had thought both Rumi and I ended up in some other area.

From what I remember from the canon a guy named Mimic is doing all this after taking a Trigger. I closed my eyes and completely concentrated on finding Mimic, this is honestly getting annoying so I decided to take him out.

After only a few seconds I founded Mimic merged with the wall. I immediately used my power and expanded his blood inside his own body. I don't know how much painful it was but I didn't care, after a few seconds he died, as the blood flow inside his body stopped. I finally opened my eyes and released a sigh... it was too tiring.

"What did you do?" I heard Rumi's voice from my side. Now... what should I tell her. Should I tell her that I killed someone or hide it from her? It's obvious that I have to kill some people in all the worlds I would travel to, so there is no reason to hide. If she hates me after this then that is also fine. If she leaves me now, that would be much better that neither of us are too much invested with each other.

"I killed someone" I spoke slowly waiting for her reaction. At first, she was shocked but then calmed herself down.

"Who did you kill?" Rumi asked me back in her serious hero demeanor.

"The one who had been warping around" I told Rumi. As I had already said that I killed someone so I told her honestly. Rumi heard me and nodded her head.

"Good! That was getting really annoying" Rumi said and began walking leaving me behind. Did she just accept it just like that? Damn... she is odd... but that is also a reason I like her.

"You are the best Rumi" I told Rumi whose face gained a smug look.

"I know, now let's go" Rumi said urging me to follow her. Does she know that she is walking the wrong way?

"That's the wrong way... now follow me" I told Rumi who immediately turned around and started to walk by my side...
