The Shadow Monarch Izuku Midoriya

Ch 48: Celebratory Dinner

"Talk"

'Thought'

[System]

Few hours later...

Izuku exited his house while yawning. When he opened his eyes after a brief nap, it was already the promised time.

"Good morning, Midoriya-sama!" A familiar voice filled with energy greeted him. Yoo Jin was already waiting for him.

The van was parked nearby. After a one day break for Yoo, their morning exchanges had resumed as normal.

Yoo Jin discovered something. Izuku was holding something cylindrical in his hand. The young man asked curiously, "Midoriya-sama, what's that?"

Izuku smiled widely, "I'm going to use it in the Dungeon today."

Holy... Yoo Jin's stomach fluttered, 'Is it a weapon to be used in the Dungeon?'

Midoriya always showed off something crazy in Dungeons. Just what kind of a terrifying weapon was he holding now? Yoo Jin already began to feel anxious.

Yoo Jin gathered his courage then raised his head, "Let us go."

At the same hour...

Howaitotaiga Guild's Meeting Room.

"And that's pretty much all I saw." Heejin finished recounting the events of the Red Gate. Before she began, Taiga had asked if she needed some rest out of concern, but the woman insisted that they complete the investigation. 

Ahn Sangmin broke the silence, "Was all that really true?"

Heejin said, "You can contact Myunghwan and Gijoong. They'll tell you the same story."

The two C-rankers had returned to their homes, stating that they wanted to see their families. Heejin could confidently say that their statements would not differ from hers, 'All I did was explain what I experienced in person.'

How the forest that man disappeared off to rang with screams of ice bears, or how that man was doing push-ups while everyone else was sleeping. She didn't dare to include any hearsay from the other teammates, only what she had seen with her own two eyes.

Sangmin made a strange noise with his mouth. Knocking out an A-rank Hunter in one hit. Freely using spatial magic. Wielding over 20 summons. Each one of them alone would be an unbelievable thing. And the man in question had done it all. But the most shocking fact was, "So he solo cleared a high-level Dungeon."

Taiga uttered after a long period of silence. It was because he was an S-ranker that he was able to say, "That is an incredible feat."

Although the man had fought with summons, those summons were not comrades but Hero Izuku Midoriya's skill. It was the same as solo clearing the Dungeon.

Taiga said, "No matter how high one's rank is, it is difficult for a Hunter to solo clear a high-level Dungeon." A Red Gate on top of that.

What if he himself was there? Could he solo clear a B-rank Red Gate? It was possible for Hero Izuku Midoriya, who wielded not one or two but dozens of summons. Ahn Sangmin spoke with amazement, "With this, it is clear that he's an Awakened Being with special powers."

Taiga agreed, "Among Heroes, those that can use summoning are rare. And to think that he's a Hero that can wield multiple summons..."

Having worked as an S-rank Hero, Taiga had met and conversed with many different Heroes. Not one of them ever spoke of a Hero wielding that many summons, "An Awakened Being with a special power in a different dimension than the average special power..."
