The Shadow Monarch Izuku Midoriya

Ch 25: Private Raid Part 1

"Talk"

'Thought'

[System]

Izuku walked out of his house as he finished his daily quests as he received a call from Yoo...

He saw a van and saw Yoo's face from the driver's window. Izuku waved and Yoo did too and Izuku got on the passenger side and sat down.

After some time, they arrived at a vacant lot. Yoo said, "here we are." There were 8 Heroes waiting in the promised location. The Gate that stood behind them was big even for a C-rank Gate. The waiting Heroes approached Izuku and Yoo Jin who got out of their van. None of them were... normal.

Some of them appeared to have trouble moving, others looked like patients, while some even gave off the impression of an alcoholic. There was even an underage girl, whose age would mean that she would not be accepted by the association or the Guilds; she appeared to be a student around the age of Izumi and Izuku asked, "Is it okay to bring that one?"

Yoo said, "I went ahead and got some legal counsel. There isn't any legal reason why she can't join us. It's just going to be a big problem if she gets hurt."

Yoo Jin stepped forward, "My name is Yoo Jin. I will be this Raid's leader. And this person is Hero Midoriya Izuku. He's the only other person who will enter the Dungeon with me. The rest of you can just wait near the Gate until we return."

One of the Heroes cautiously raised a hand, "Er... So if we just wait out here, you'll pay us three million?" There was no need for the rest of them to hunt. There wasn't even a need for them to enter the Dungeon. Yet they would be paid 3 million per Raid. For just filling the headcount for the association's records, this was an incredible compensation. But because of the large reward for doing so little, many of the Heroes were cautious.

Yoo said, "Yes, that is the promise. There is one condition. You must not speak of what you see here to anyone. There will be a non-disclosure clause attached to your contracts. Upon breaking that contract, you will be required to pay ten times your pay as penalty."

Instead of asking the duo questions, the Heroes just whispered among themselves about the situation.

Someone said, "Wait, could just two people even do anything in a C-rank Dungeon?"

Another whispered, "They don't seem that strong..."

Then another said, "If they were good enough to clear a C-rank Gate with just the two of them, why wouldn't they be working for a large Guild?"

Then someone said, "Yep, you're right..."

They were all suspicious, but not one of them wanted to back out. The reason was obvious. The conditions were too good. Even Izuku had accepted similar conditions for 2 million before. Compared to the Hwang Dongseok incident, the pair had decided to add an additional 1 million to the contract for the non-disclosure clause.

They've wasted enough time explaining everything. Looking at the time, Izuku approached Yoo Jin, "We should get going."

"Understood, Midoriya-sama."

Yoo Jin replied politely, then grabbed everyone's attention with a clap and said, "Well, I think we're done explaining the details. We won't be forcing anyone to sign. Is there anyone who wants to backout at this point?"

Izuku said, "take off that shit off please."

Yoo pouted and said, "Can I keep the helmet."

Izuku said, "Sure, as long as you don't slow me down."
