Sir Nighteye has been getting pretty wary as of late. They've been investigating Shie Hasakai for a while now, but recently their patterns have changed.

Comimg outside, he fixed his glasses. However, his eyes quickly moved to a distressed Bubble Girl.

Sir Nighteye:What happened?

Bubble Girl:...I just got two calls. Both teams encountered Chisaki.

This was quite the situation, indeed. As such, Sir Nighteye prioritized regrouping.

Mirio:My apologies, we screwed up. I didn't expect to have a bump around the corner into each other development.

Y/N:Funny, we encountered them when we were on break.

Sir Nighteye:Break?

Y/N:You never said we can't take breaks on the job.

Sir Nighteye:You're right. It seens that was an oversight on my side...You can't take breaks while scouting.

Y/N:Tch!

Kumagawa:[We also got ourselves a souvenire.]

Saying that, Kumagawa's hand moved quickly and threw an object straight at Sir Nighteye. The pro hero reacted just as quick, catching what turned out to be an wallet.

Sir Nighteye:...This is Chisaki's?

Y/N:Yeah, maybe he has some contact infos ir something stored there that can help us.

Sir Nighteye:And you managed to snatch it away without him noticing? Good job...Hm, he doesn't seem to have any mobey in here, though.

Kumagawa:[Is it possible he only had enough mobey there as an underpayed dad that tried to make ends meet to make his daughter happy? That yakuza, he's a smart one.]

Well, that wasn't completly two. There was a lot of money there, but the two spend it all on food, clothes and games.

They had come to regard that as a generous donation from Chisaki himself. Maybe yakuzas weren't so bad.

Sir Nighteye:In any case, I'm glad all four of you are safe. If he became suspicious of you, things might have gotten dangerous.

Izuku:He didn't seem that dangerous to me...

Y/N:Midoriya, he's an yakuza boss. Being dangerous is kind of in the job description.

Sir Nighteye:The other day, a band of thieves were in the middle of making their escape and triggered an truck accident involving many people. Those people dragged into it were none other than Chisaki and Eight Percepts. However, this turned to zero casualities. Apparently, the thieves were captured after feeling an intense pain and losing consciousness. Not only that, all the chronic ilnesses the thieves had, from rheumatism to cavities, were also healed. This was thought to be the result of Chisaki's quirk. Because there being no injury, Chisaki couldn't be charged with anything.

That was a strange thing indeed. Izuku began to think of the possibilities that entails.

Does Chisaki posses a quirk so multifuctionale? Or is he like Kumagawa, someone born with multiple quirks?

Kumagawa stared at the back of Izuku's head as the freckled boy muttered to himself. The minus could guess what he was thinking, which was greatly amusing.

Really, he didn't think he was gonna keep this quirk charade when all of this started. Hell, he didn't think he was gonna stay in UA for that long either.

In the early days of this little hero game he thought of abandoning the school and becoming his own third party in this hero and villain society. Najimi always said he was making a great final boss.

Such a thing would have surely reached the ears of everyone at Hakoniwa. Maybe they would have gotten involved as well somehow, such fun that would have been.

That's why he began this little game to begin with, to have fun. Why hasn't he done so.

As those thoughts entered his head, Kumagawa's gaze subcounsciously shifted to Y/N. Ah, right, there was his reason.

Y/N:Why are you staring at me like that?

Kumagawa:[Your crown's a bit off.]

Y/N:Oh, shit! So embarassing...

Kumagawa chuckled, enjoying the cute sight of Y/N trying to fix her crown. At the same moment, Bubble Girl began speaking as well.

Bubble Girl:But all the money were missing as well. All of it vanished just like that. The police reached the conclusion that no crime has occured, but...We at tge Nighteye Offices found all that very suspicious. Which is why we started a full scale stake out. I don't have the slightest idea what Chisaki might be thinking, but one thing's for sure. He's a guy who gets things done when push comes to shove.

Mirio:...Ah, that's right, Sir!

Mirio suddenly remembered something important. Or rather, someone.

Mirio:You might call it an fortunate error, but...We got new informations! Chisaki has a daughter! He called her Eri. Her arms and legs were covered in bandages.

Izuku:...She was extremly frightened...I have no idea what hee cirmustances are, but...She was crying for help...If somehow we could get her under custody...

Sir Nighteye:Don't start getting arrogant ideas into your head...

Izuku:...What?

Kumagawa:[Naive that's way too naive of you, Izuku-chan. Chisaki Kai is the big boss of Yakuza. He's a pro of the criminal world. An expert at covering his tracks. You really think taking the custody of that girl will be so easy? From what I observed, he's a very pragmatic man. He must keep her around for a reason not yet clear to us. You really think you could do it just by throwing your moral weight around? Besides...]

His thoughts went back to Shibuki. It was not only because of scars that he compared her to Eri.

Kumagawa:[Do you know how many abusive households are there? Even without crminal background or backing? Do you truly think you can just save them all? There are so many who say those same words. Yet, no obe came to save them...]

Just like Shibuki, no one came to save her wgen she was a child. He wonders if she has gone through with her promise of murdering her parents.

Y/N began to rub his shoulder affectionally while the orhers keept silent. It seems Izuku has hit some nerve of Kumagawa's.

Sir Nighteye:...Kumagawa is absolutely correct. Rushing like that in such a situation is useless, you're only gonna give them more leverage. You must predict your opponent's next move. You can't possibly save everyone with will alone. This world isn't so easy. The truly intelligent villains concel themselves in the darkness. You must bide your time. You'd do well to remember that. Let's go, Bubble.

Bubble Girl:Ah...Yes, Sir!

Sir Nighteye and Bubble Girl departed first, leaving the kids to themselves. Kumagawa managed to calm down a while back, not unlike him to have sudden mood changes, and began whispering with Y/N among themselves.

Kumagawa:[I mean, you know...]

Y/N:Yeah, guess we got him wrong...

Kumagawa:[Humility can be the greatest condesncence...]

Y/N:And he doesn't even realize...Annoying...

Izuku:Um...What are you guys talking about?

Y/N:Huh? Ah, nothing. We just kind of get why Bakugo wants to blow up your face now.
