Soo... I may or may not be in a gang (MHA X TKR)

Ch 24: A Gentle-Man

A couple of weeks before Ch 23

"My good sir! In good spirits, I sure would hope so!" A knife glimmers in the hand of the man talking away from a camera "Today, I'm conducting a robbery!" 

"I've seen you before, you're all over the internet," says  the store clerk shaking

"I apologize, but I don't have time to chat, quickly before the heroes, please place the money inside the briefcase! Also if possible, place the thousand yen bills in stacks of ten before throwing them in that would be splendid!"

"Halt! Drop your weapon!" shouted two heroes showing up at the door of the grocery store,"

"Ah..." mumbled the man under his breath, two more heroes came into view, "La brava," he says raising his voice

"I know gentle," says a girl with a camera

"Here is a cut," the video of the man cuts out, and when it comes back the heroes are on the ground and he's walking away from the store, the store seems strangely distorted and he's walking away calmly "Let's go la brava!"

"What about the money gentle?"

"The money is not the point, after all, what matters are the views, as The Gentle Criminal I will etch my name into the face of the world one crime at a time."

 Back to the present, the day of the cultural festival

Izuku was on his way back from buying the new rope for the show when he bumped into a tall man "Careful!" the man was wearing a mask, a long coat, and a hat, accompanied by a short woman with roughly the same attire.

"Goodness! What a fright, you almost made me lose the aftertaste of the gold tips imperial! Let's go Luh... Honey!"

"Sorry, I'm a bit on edge lately, have a nice day," Izuku apologizes, looking down the path he sees a house and deduces what it must be from his previous interaction with Yaoyorozu "So that house must be some type of tea shop, I had no idea."

"Do my ears betray me? Only those who know the name Gold-Tips Imperial would be able to make such a deduction, Impressive for someone so young,"

"Yeah, a friend made it for me some time ago,"

"Hoho, what a high class friend you have," the man's eyes twitch in recognition "what a... great friend you have,"

"Yes... I'm really lucky..." suddenly Izuku's brain starts making connections, the man's voice was similar to a online villain he had seen around the internet, plus he remembers what he has said in one of the videos, that he chooses the brand of the tea on how big his next job is, a high class tea is a big job. The man begins walking away hurriedly, "Wait," the man turns to look, "You're the man with the routine aren't you?" Izuku sets down his bags, 'If he gets to UA an alarm will go off in the spot and Eri's day will be ruined'

"Who would you mean by that?"

"I saw your video,"

"Hmm... Love-Lovers, turn the camera this way," says the Gentle Criminal revealing his face.

Deku was being held down by a giant iron beam as he watched the Gentle criminal turn around to walk away "HEY! I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T HURT THE INNOCENT?!"

"Oh? But I don't, I knew you would catch it, and even if you didn't and were a failure of a hero I rubberized the air underneath the beam, it would've never hit the man."

"QUIT FUCKING WITH ME! I'M SO TIRED OF YOUR SHIT! I'M SO TIRED OF EVERYONE'S SHIT!" Izuku then placed the beam right next to him, watching it safely touch the ground "I'm not holding back anymore," Izuku's body skipped right into 10% as he charged Gentle using airforce from the flicks of his fingers, almost immediately Izuku was in front of the criminal, charging a punch that hit the man square on the nose sending him flying towards the ground, Izuku began falling towards him when suddenly Gentle's angle completely changes and he's sent rocketing forward towards the school, Izuku wastes no time in running after him, waiting for a moment where he could reach him. He didn't have to wait long as he launched himself once again reaching Gentle and grappling him to the ground, Gentle began fighting back. 

"Let go kid, you're displaying quite the un-herolike behavior, and right in front of the camera, what would a future agency think?" said Gentle, as he got freed of Izuku once again. He grabbed on to La Brava and took hold of a tree, flexing it back and using it as a springboard launching him right into the UA forest, 

"Goddamn it, he's good at escaping, but he's right, quitting smoking isn't really an excuse for my behavior," Izuku walks towards the tree gentle used, bend's it back as well and gets ready to stand on it " Let's try this again." Izuzku launches himself after the criminal following his trajectory changes with his eyes, noticing where the world around him changes to his favor Izuku memorized it all, every turn, every change of density, even the specific spot where the momentum in Gentle's hair changed directions, Izuku's hair began crackling as lightning crackled through his eyes and his pupils bounced around his scelera like some sort of sped up DvD logo. "Gotcha," Izuku's gloves went extended out once more, following Mei's design properly and perfectly, he aimed his arm towards what seemed to be open air and flicked his finger, suddenly the distortion on the air became obvious as the gust of wind generated by the gauntlets bounced around thin air hitting Gentle square in the jaw and knocking him down to the green grass of UA, Izuku lands with a roll besides Gentle, quickly sweeping La Brava to keep her on the ground as well, pinning both of them down with his arms. "You're done, please stay down and don't resists, I'll be delivering you to the police, please cooperate"

"... I'm in love with you," mumble La Brava and suddenly the Gentle criminal exploded with energy. Izuku suddenly got slapped as he smashed into a tree, 

"I apologize, young man, I don't like solving problems with brute force, so I tend to cut away when it comes to this, Just stay there sleeping for a while," Gentle's open palm flies towards Izuku's neck going for the knockout. Suddenly his hand is slapped away

"I've fought a lot of people, stronger and faster than you, don't assume I'm done, because I haven't lost yet," said Izuku flicking both of his fingers, at the same time that fireworks go off announcing the start of the festival. Gentle gets launched back and scrambles on the grass. "I'm asking you to please give up!" 

"Gentle I'm so sorry! My love wasn't enough!" shouts La Brava as she follows the heat of battle with her eyes,

"Who can say, that they weren't enough!?" shouts Gentle gritting his teeth, "GENTLY SANDWICH" he raises his arms and brings them down creating a lot of layers of air that crash onto Izuku, "Sandwiches are supposed to be light, and refined foods... Piling too many layers isn't really my taste. But I still want to accomplish my dream, the fading dream from my middle school days! To have my name go down in history, repeated by generations so that one day there is someone out there who looks into my life and is inspired by it, and wants to live by the code and rules that I follow. This dream is not my own anymore, and today I'm taking the first steps to make it come true, and you expect me to give up just because you're stronger? You're a student of UA right? Then this feeling of being consumed by your dream. I will force you to understand it too!" suddenly Izuku sprung from underneath the layers of rubberized air, and climbed around gentle headbutting him then grabbing him by the collar as Gentle's nose began to bleed

"Then why..." Izuku punched Gentle in the nose "Why if you understand all that, Why the culture festival?" he drops down and brings Gentle's face to his knee "Why must you trample the feelings of everyone in UA! If it's for your dream you're willing to rob the smile of someone who's never smiled!"

"That's just what it means to fulfill your dream!" shouts Gentle from the ground as he rebounds his elbow and socks Izuku in his eye "If you don't have a heart then go ahead and laugh at me! I don't care that's what's important to me!" Izuku jumps back rubs his eye and then rushes Gentle again,

"I'm not laughing..." he mumbles as he dodges a punch from Gentle "GENTLE CRIMINAL!" screamed the young hero as he plunged his fist into the criminal's stomach, as Gentle folded he let out a chuckle

"YOU!" shouted the criminal as his hands fell he reached and began grappling with Izuku "Why do you aspire to be a hero!?"

"Same as you Gentle!" shouted Izuku as he struggled, "I have a dream that isn't just my own! An unattainable dream that deep down I had already given up on! But the people who cared never laughed! I want to prove to each one who believed in me that they were right! I want to be a man that shows a brighter future! For those that have suffered, for those that are forced to live a dangerous life, for those that aren't treated like the rest!" as Izuku shouted those last words Gentle smiled, his arms finally gave out, and as the power up from La Brava's quirk faded away Gentle lost. As the security team made up of the teachers of UA approached the place where the events had unfolded, Izuku was launched away by Gentle's quirk.
