I am so late for this update!

Central Tower... Lowest Level...

The elevator dinged and Haru was led into a small lobby in the tower's private levels by his two guards. One led the way while the other followed behind.

"Keep moving," the guard walking behind jabbed his rifle butt against the redheaded teen's back, trying to shove him forward.

To the villain's displeasure, Haru not only didn't stumble but instead stopped to give him a deadpan look from over his shoulder.

"Apart from that being painfully cliche, there is seriously no point in doing that," Haru pointed out, clearly showing he thought the man was an idiot, "I can only go as fast as the guy in front of me, so if you have an issue with my speed, take it up with him."

The villain walking in front turned around, sighing in annoyance, "Oi, stop messing with the hostage," he ordered, seemingly glaring at his comrade from under his mask. He motioned his gun at Haru, signaling him to walk ahead of him, "Just don't cause trouble and you'll be back home when the job's done."

Haru raised an eyebrow, "I could ask what job, but I'll have to assume you're too smart to answer," he shrugged, "Can't speak for your friend."

The first villain gritted his teeth, his forearm mutating into a glass spike, "Care to repeat that?"

He pointed the spike in the Haru's direction only to find the boy's leg hooked around his arm in lock hold.

"I'm sorry. Did I stutter?" Haru queried in the blandest of tones, "I don't like sharp objects pointed at my face," he unwrapped his leg from around the villain's arm and tilted his head at the other villain pointing his gun at him, "I'm sure shooting me won't benefit you, so can we continue our little journey before I lose more brain cells?"

The second villain looked at him for a moment before nodding, lowering his weapon.

Haru had just learned two things.

First, the villain with the glass spike Quirk was only pretending to be angry and was just testing the skills of his captive. The Uzumaki Clan's sensory ability really was a cheat power against deceptions like this.

Secondly, the other villain was seemingly aware of his ability. The calm facade wasn't just a front, the man was familiar with him.

Whatever was going on, it was clear he was on this group's radar. The question was who was behind them. He may have been on the news in Japan for his involvement at Hosu, but foreigners only knew about him from the Sports Festival. Also, the leader, Wolfram, mentioned having known about him beforehand.

There were only two possibilities he could be aware of.

The League of Villains.

Or...

A sudden throbbing in his head made him grimace in discomfort. Damn it! His eyes narrowed. This hasn't happened in a while. The seal is gone, so... What is causing this? Another throb broke off his thinking.

His line of thought was broken by a nudge to his back, ushering him towards a capsule-like space in the wall alongside the villains. The doors slid shut and the vehicle lurched, revealing itself to be a monorail pod of an underground railway. From the looks of the tech, this must have been a personal space for incognito visits from prominent people to the labs in the central tower.
