"You emit a murderous intent."

Izuku said, "That's cool. I wonder if I can make someone piss their pants with the killer intent."

The cave shook again and it was stronger than before, Izuku then looked at Yoo Jin and he was frozen from fear, cast his eyes down at Izuku's gaze. Then Yoo said, "P-please l-let me live..."

Izuku thought, 'Why is he scared by me...?' Izuku looked around and realized and said, "Oh, no you didn't do anything to me."

Yoo said, "If you spare me, I'll turn over all the income from this Dungeon to you. Of course, the money would belong to you. It's the 'fair price' for killing Hwang Dongseok's party and saving my life"

Izuku said, "That sounds good." Izuku thought, 'It's a fair price.'

Yoo Jin's face brightened. The young man felt a little awe at what he perceived to be Izuku's ironclad conviction. But then, Izuku's face became cold again, "But how would I be able to trust you? That you would tell what actually happed in the dungeon." He just wanted to make sure the events of this Raid would not cause him troubles in the future.

Yoo said, "How could I betray the man that saved my life multiple times?"

Izuku said, "You could always ignore the promise and go around blabbing your mouth off."

Well, it wouldn't really hurt him in the long run. Killing Hwang Dongseok's party was 100% in self-defense. It was eight armed men versus just him, and they were the ones who attacked first. With the world's laws having changed in the advent of Heroes, he would definitely be found not guilty in all of this. Still, he wanted to avoid all that if he could. For that, he needed Yoo's cooperation, "I wouldn't dare do such a cowardly thing! Especially to the savior of my life!"

Izuku said, "Alright, I trust you... But, if you destroy it... I'll be the last face you see." Yoo's face turned pale and nodded.

Izuku said, "Good, let's get out of here then. Okay. Go grab their magic cores. We're leaving the Dungeon."

Yoo bowed 90 degrees and said, "Thank you very much, Midoriya-Sama"

So they picked up everything and left...

The investigator this time was a strict-looking middle-aged woman said, "Your names?"

Izuku said, "Midoriya Izuku."

Yoo said, "I'm Yoo Jin."

A Hero's death in a Dungeon was unfortunately a common occurrence, so the aftermath investigations were more or less routine. It was just a matter of keeping proper record of everything that had happened. It would all go smooth... as long as nothing suspicious was noted.

The lady said, "...Hmm, you're telling me all the C-rank Heroes died, but you two, a D-rank and an E-rank, got out safely?"

The investigator pushed her glasses up and asked, her eyes narrow and thought, 'In a normal Raid, the first to die are the weak ones...'
