Conqueror of the Crows

Episode 9

Next Day at Suzuran

Izuku sat down while looking at the sky, Neito was playing in his phone, Hitoshi yawned and lie down, and Komagata was talking with Nishiya.

"So, it's true that Housen's head returned yesterday." Nishiya said.

"Yeah. I heard that they're taking Raoh's Faction again from their lost last time." Komagata said.

"What are you gonna do about it, Takiya? Aren't you friends with Raoh?" Nishiya turns to him.

"We're not friends. We're just in the same school. He wouldn't ask for our help if the time comes." Izuku said.

"You guys work as a team after Kamasaka and Ebara. Not to mention, the strongest among the other Suzuran students are you and Raoh." Hitoshi comments.

"That's right." Neito smiles while turning off his phone. "I heard that some Housen students are lurking around our area.".

"This early? We just had a battle against Ebara. Did they intentionally plan it after the fight?" Hitoshi questions.

"It's like they want what's left in Raoh. They want to tire him after a battle, so they can strike first." Nishiya said.

"If that's to be true, then aren't they plying dirty?" Komagata asked.

"There's no such thing is a clean war." Izuku said and turns to Raoh who was staring at their area. He turns away and speaks, "But, this is Housen, so they might have some honor in them. It's one of the Four Kings, after all.".

"Four Kings of Toarushi, huh?" Komagata mutters.

"Kurotaki Alliance, TFOA, Housen, and Suzuran. It's to bring balance to Toarushi, but things change when time passes by. It's not the same like the past." Nishiya said.

"I wonder who's the current head of the Kurotaki Alliance...? Who do you think?" Neito thinks.

"Who knows. I guess we'll have to find out when we get to face them." Hitoshi said.

Izuku stands up and walks down.

"Where are you going?" Hitoshi asked.

"I'm going for a walk. If the rumors were true, then I have to be ready." Izuku said as he walks away.

"He might conquer Suzuran at an early age." Nishiya smirks.

"You got that right." Komagata said.

With Izuku

He was walking at the supermarket.

"When did I arrive here?" Izuku questions himself as someone kicks him as he falls to a table. Izuku apologizes to the panicked old lady and turns to see Housen's head. "It's not something like the Housen head to start a fight with me.".

"Don't flatter yourself. I wanted to see Cross KO's Ace in person." Sachio said.

"And your first impression was to kick me surprisingly?" Izuku questions before he dodges a kick as he stands up. He dodges two swings from Sachio and catches the straight punch with his right hand. "You got a strong fist.".

Sachio pulls out his fist, "If you're planning on helping Raoh, I won't hesitate to take you down with him.".

Izuku tsked, "Like he'll asked for my help.".

"Just don't get in the way. Either way, we'll crush you and your two friends." Sachio turns to leave.

Izuku rubs his back while he sneers at Sachio, "Talk about a hypocrite. Saying not to get in the way when he did the first strike.".
