Ayanokouji: Free Life

Chapter 38: Forest Ambush

 As we walked back, Itsuka once again brought up the event that happened to us regarding the sniper. 

Itsuka: So what are we going to do with him?

She pointed at the sniper's unconscious body that I was carrying with me.

Me: I plan to report this to Mr. Aizawa. You don't need to worry about it. 

Itsuka: Oh, great! But seriously, why was that guy here?

Me: Don't know. It could be that he was after a specific student. 

Itsuka: How do you know?

Me: It's simple. Why else would he be in an area of desolate woods with creatures roaming about, unless you had a target you were staking out. 

Itsuka: Then is it one of us?

Me: No. It could be someone else since he could not have predicted us coming to that specific location. And it looked like he had been staking it for some time. 

Itsuka: Damn, so this creeper was stalking this place for longer. 

She put her hand into a fist as I went into the sniper's shirt and took out the insignia he wore and destroyed it into pieces. I don't plan on anyone here finding the true purpose of his arrival. 

Itsuka: Huh, what was that, Ayanokouji?

Me: I saw an insect walk on his shirt as I took it off. 

Itsuka: Oh, ok!

After walking some distance I faced her. 

Me: I'll go on ahead. You should try and find a task. I'll meet up with you later. 

 I waived goodbye as she seemed like she was going to say something. But I already left in a hurry with a full-grown man tucked within my arms. 

...

I punched in my phone Mr. Aizawa's number as I called him.

Mr. Aizawa: Hello? Who is this?

Me: It's me, Ayanokouji. 

Mr. Aizawa: Huh? Shouldn't you be working on your quirk training right now?

Me: We have ourselves an intruder. 

It was quiet for a moment as he returned on the phone. 

Mr. Aizawa: Meet me out back behind the lodge and make sure no one sees you. 

Me: Alright, sensei. 

I ended the call as I continued walking until I finally reached a shallow part of the forest where I found a path leading to the lodge. This might have took a half an hour since the forest was so packed and dense. As I was approaching, I saw there was people in the front so I stealthily crouched and went through a bit of shrub until I reached the back of the lodge. There, already, was Mr. Aizawa who was waiting there. 

I walked up to him as he saw the man I was carrying. 

Mr. Aizawa: I take it that's the intruder?

Me: Yes, a sniper more specifically. 

Mr. Aizawa: A sniper?

Me: Yes. He shot bullets that seemed very real, enough to injure Itsuka who was with me. 

Mr. Aizawa: So she knows. 

Me: Correct. However, I believe she will not tell anyone regarding this so rest assured.
