The Shadow Monarch Izuku Midoriya

Ch 22: Death of Prisoners Part 1

"Talk"

'Thought'

[System]

Izuku said, "When I woke up it was just there..."

Song said, "It wouldn't have been right for such a young person to become a cripple. Thank goodness for that."

Izuku looked at Song's arm and Song said, "Don't worry about this. It's normal for a Hunter my age to get into an accident in a Raid. I was just lucky that I got this far before having one."

Song said, "Should we go somewhere quieter." Izuku nodded as people were looking at them and they felt uncomfortable from there gazes.

While walking Song noticed something and thought, 'Midoriya's footsteps I can't hear them!' Even though he was walking right next to him he couldn't hear them or sense his presence.

Song turned around and said, "Midoriya, I have to thank you."

This man was old enough to be his father bowed to him and Izuku tried to stop him but Song continued to lower his head and said, "Eleven people died because of me. Thanks to you, six of us were able to live. As my responsibility was the heaviest in that place, I thank you on behalf of everyone else."

Izuku felt the man's sincerity and said, "Song-san please raise your head."

Song raised his head and heard his phone rang and said, "Sorry, I have to pick it up."

Izuku said, "Go ahead."

As the call ended Song's face hardened and said, "I have to go sorry."

Izuku heard the whole thing due to his natural good sense of hearing and also raising the sense stat.

Izuku said, "It was the association, right?"

Song said, "You heard all that?"

Izuku said, "I'll go with you too."

The two arrived at the location and saw police there and they asked for identification.

As Izuku walked over to the gate he saw 2 men and it was the two that abandoned him and Kim said, "Eh, Midoriya..."

Izuku looked at him with cold eyes without saying anything Kim's body shuddered as his arms were covered with goosebumps. Izuku then sent a bit of killing intent with that and so Kim got  the message and avoided him.

Song tapped Izuku on the shoulder and said, "Midoriya, there she comes."

Izuku looked behind him and saw Juhee and she said, "Midoriya!"

Izuku said, "Hey, Juhee" As she hugged him as tears rolled down her cheeks and said, "Are you alright? Your leg! "

She looked at Izuku's face and legs and said, "Ah, I woke up and..."

A loud voice said, "Ah, young love! Hot hot hot!"

A prisoner walked by as he said it and a man in a suit said, "Shut your mouth."

The prisoner winked at Juhee and looked away and the man in a suit lead 3 more people and the association worker said, "You're finally here."

The man said, "There was a little traffic on the way."

The worker gave the man some papers and he started to sign them one by one.

Kim walked to him and said, "Prisoners on work-release? You're telling us to raid with criminals?"

Izuku thought, 'Not like your one.'

The association worker bowed and said, "I really have to apologize. The number of Hunters in our area had decreased too drastically. The association said we had no choice for the time being. Thankfully, a Hero from the Hero Surveillance Department will be accompanying you, so you shouldn't have to worry."

Kim said, "Will this man also be with us?"

The women said, "Yes, all prisoners are C-rank but he's a B-rank."

It was a basic theory that you needed at least 10 C-rank Hunters to defeat a single B-ranker. If such a B-ranker was offering to not only watch the prisoners but also help with the Raid, there was nothing to complain about.

Izuku thought something seems off for some reason he felt killing intent from one of the 5.

The man walked over to the heroes and said, "I'm Kang Taeshik of the Hero Surveillance department. I'm sure you've already heard the situation. I'll be keeping a close eye on them, so don't worry about those bastards."

Kang asked, "Who'll be leading the raid today?" Song raised his hand and Kang nodded and Song went in front and all the heroes entered the gate

The Dungeon this time was filled with goblins. Faced against the weakest humanoid type magic beasts, the Raid was a lot easier than expected. Izuku tried to hold back but his power difference was noticeable and Juhee asked, "Have you been learning somewhere?"

Izuku said, "I've been uh, running, yeah running every day." Juhee was confused was confused but it wasn't exactly a lie...

Izuku thought, 'I'm not getting any experience points...'

[The enemy's level was too low. You've gained no experience points.]

The goblins were just too weak as they ventured deep into the dungeon they came across 3 different paths and Taeshik said, "The Dungeon's difficulty is rather low. Shall we split up here?"

Song said, "Agreed."

Izuku focused his eyes to sense th spiritual pressure and felt that the left path had the boss and said, "Song-san let's go left,"

Song said, "Alright." So Izuku, Juhee, and Song went on the left path and Taeshik and the prisoners went on the middle path and the remaining two went on the right.

Izuku saw goblins as they walked down the path for a one minute and Izuku heard a scream just as they saw the goblins but it wasn't a goblin scream... It was a human's scream!

Izuku looked at Juhee and then Song said, "Let's check it out." So they ran back as he held back as he remained at the speed of the two. They heard more screams as they saw a pool of blood and Taeshik was kneeling on the ground covered with blood and said, "Watch out those bastards are still out there."

He then sat on the ground using his hands as support. Juhee ran toward him and light came out of her hands and at the moment Taeshik had his hand stretched with magic power at Juhee's throat.
