Chapter 38

This wasn't how you imagined things would be. It has only been three days, yet all you do is chase after Hawks, trying to catch up to him. To do something .

"There's a bar in Kantina that has some rowdy patrons, so I'm going there next. I'll leave the paperwork for you!" And off he goes.

"Tsukuyomi!" One of Hawks' sidekicks said. "Us sidekicks will take care of this guy."

"Because Hawks is too fast." The other one said.

"I'm going after him."

"Tsukuyomi," You grabbed his arm as he was about to leave. He has been chasing after Hawks all day and all we have done is clean-up the incidents he resolved. "I'm just as frustrated as you but it's pointless. He's too fast to be reached, even with my wings. And I'm supposed to be really fast. Let's just take care of this dude and go for the paperwork."

He looked you dead in the eye like he was thinking whether to listen to you or himself. "I'm going." He won.

"Wait! Ugh..." You pinched your nose. "Why do guys never listen?"

"He's real eager, huh?"

Who can blame him? He came here for a reason and he has barely done anything useful. You were hoping to learn some things from Hawks, too, since you have the same quirk but it seems he is too busy to even talk to you sometimes.

Apparently, it's the first time Hawks made offers after the sports festival. If he doesn't intend to teach you a single thing, why bother scouting any students at all?

Something is off.

Going back to the agency, you both had a chance to talk to him in the lobby.

"I can't let things get worse while I wait for you guys, right?"

"If you can already handle things with two sidekicks on patrol," You said, standing hand-crossed with your back laying on the back of the sofa he was sitting on. "Why did you ask for us?"

"Because we're birds." He said in all seriousness, holding one of his feathers in his fingers.

"Say sike right now." You said, blinking in disbelief. He frowned his eyebrows as if not understanding what you just said. "Right, you're too old to know this."

"Ouch, kid, I'm only 22." He touched his chest, acting hurt.

"Because we're birds?" Tokoyami said. "Is that a joke?"

"No, I'm 20% serious."

"I'm two seconds away from getting kicked out of this agency."

"Okay, please don't do anything," Tokoyami rushed to your side and held your arms, trying to calm you down. "Yet."

Trying to calm you down is pointless, though, because all you need is one more stupid thing to come out of his mouth and you're out. You never imagined Hawks would be like this. You portrayed him so differently. He's too cocky for his own good.

He still hasn't answered your question, though. If he doesn't need anyone's help, why did he offer for you two? If your instinct is right, then there is only one thing you can think of...

"50% of it was because I wanted to talk with someone from class 1-A," Information. "About those thugs from the League of Villains who attacked you guys. And if I was going through the trouble, then I thought I'd get someone good who could keep up with me. So from the top finishers at the U.A. sports festival, I chose the girl who we, somehow, share the same quirk and the bird-like boy who seemed like he'd be good."

"So you wanted something, after all." You said, glaring at him.

"Guilty as charged," He raised his hands up as if surrendering. "Will you tell me about the attack on USJ?" You scoffed loudly, shook your arms to get out of Tokoyami's grasp and headed for the exit. "Ang- Err, Y/n wait."
