At the police station, Tsukauchi was holding his head. His head was spinning thinking about the case he was working on. His desk was full of documents and quite messy. Tsukaichi is working on a case where a Villain commits a robbery as well as a murderer and manages to escape through a mysterious impenetrable portal.

At first, they thought it was the Villain's quirk, but after investigation, it turned out not to be,  the Villain's quirk is related to speed. They assumed the Villain had an ally, but based on his criminal record, he committed all his crimes alone.

Police are currently being confused with a portal used by criminals to escape. The portal did not disappear even after a few days, and since no one could enter, the investigation stalled.

Tsukauchi has put all his efforts into this case, but he still doesn't know what is going on. He also asked some Heroes to help but still no improvement.

Amidst the confusion, he suddenly remembered a story he had heard not long ago, about a gate connecting to another world full of monsters. At first, he didn't believe it and thought it was just a story, but now that he found something similar, he started to think about it again.

This is just an assumption, but he is sure there must be some clue. He then pulled out his cell phone, making a call to the person who told the story.

Somewhere in the city of Hosu, in an abandoned building several people gathered in front of a kind of blue portal that was about to close. Among those people, Izuku is one of them. He had just completed a dungeon raid with his team where Izuku was their leader.

A year has passed since his sentence is over, Izuku is now 12 years old and has reached the A rank within a year. His daily life hasn't changed much, he was still raiding dungeons as usual and on vacation, he went to the Demon Castel Dungeon or visited Fuyumi and Shoto.

Many are against Izuku rising to A-rank, but thanks to the performance he showed during the tests and the record of the results of his raids, he was able to pass it. Izuku once again recorded his name in Hunter history as the fastest to reach the A-rank in a year.

The new team he led had no choice but to admit this fact after seeing his performance during the raid. Thanks to him, they were able to get out unscathed.

Izuku was cleaning up his equipment after finishing making a report to the bureau agent. Suddenly he heard his phone ring. He took out his phone to see who was calling him.

" Hello, Tsukauchi-san? "

" hello Izuku, sorry if I bothered you, are you busy? "

"no, not at all "

" well, can we meet, I have something to ask you"

" Sure, where should I meet you?"

" Just say where you are at the moment, I'll pick you up"

" I am currently in Hosu city "

" what are you doing there? "

" Work "

" Alright, I'll meet you there "

After hanging up the phone, Izuku saw his team say that he had some business to deal with so that they could go first, which they all agreed to because of the fatigue they felt after two consecutive raids.

Izuku goes to a nearby park after sending his teammates home, waiting for Tsukauchi to pick him up. 10 minutes goes by, and Tsukauchi finally arrived, they then looked for a quiet café to chat with.

They arrived at a coffee shop that had only a few people including employees, suitable for holding private meetings here.

After finishing the order, Tsukauchi took a few pictures and showed them to Izuku. It was a photo of a blue portal that looked familiar to Izuku. Izuku widened his eyes as soon as he saw it.
