Sonic had just escaped from an imminent danger. He's not sure what kind of danger, but he knows it'd likely end his life.

For the first time in his life, something scared Sonic. Something he hasn't even encountered directly made his body subcounsciously shudder and ran away.

Yet, there was something strange. There was something awfully familiar about this felling, like he felt it before.

He began thinking about it ojce he stopped running. You could call it even a meditative state, as he was both naked and in the middle of the rain.

Genos:Who are you? Why haven't you evacuated yet?

But Sonic's thoughts were cut short by Genos's approach. Genos had no idea who he was, he simply thought of Sonic as a civillian and a possible pervert.

Sonic:You...A hero? Don't bother trying to defend the Deep Sea King.

Genos:Deep Sea King?

Sonic:Not even in a group you heroes couldn't face that thing. Jerks who play at justice can't be expected to face off a truly tough opponent. You can't protect anything!

Genos:You...

Kohina:Ah! It the non-Shiranui ninja mister!

Kohina peeked out from behind the umbrella, pointing at Sonic. Sonic didn't notice her before because the umbrella hid her small body perfectly.

Sonic:Wait...I know you. Your name is...Kohina, right? Where's your father?

Kohina:We split up with papa! Papa can deal with any fish that comes his way, but this guy gets broken up a lot. He's papa's student, so I came with to look after him.

Sonic:I see...Heh, rejoice, hero. If that guy is around, you might have a chance after all.

With that Sonic became a blur. Genos's optics grew shocked as he saw the man dissapear in a burst of speed he only saw from Kumagawa, but he had more important things to worry about.

Genos:So that was Speed O' Sound Sonic...

Kohina:Yep!

The ninja was annoying, but he may have a point. Genos made a quick scan of the closest points of interes, only for his fears to be proven true.

Genos:...The Disaster Evacuation Center!

Kohina:I wonder where papa is now...

Kumagawa walked on the sidewalk of the city, rain continuied to fall as it soaked up.his clothes and wet his hair. Although he didn't look bother by that.

Kumagawa:[Puri-chan left as well. And I thought I finally found someone to keep me company. Man, what a letdown...Wait, since when am I so bothered by my own loneliness? Is that what my character development came to? Is that how soft this Kumagawa Misogi truly became? Well, guess it's not all bad...]

As Kumagawa lamented his changes over the years his ears picked up the sound of muffled shouts. Turning his eyes towards the source, he found and object left on the pavement.

Kumagawa:[...A flip phone? Genos-chan uses one as well, but I thought that was just because he's a country boy. Why would someone use a flip phone in this age? Is it some kind of returning fashion in this city?]

Inside the Headquarters of the Hero Association, the social workers had their hands full with this new threat. One of them was shouting on a call with a hero, but got no replies from the hero whatsoever.

This man had black spiky hair and brown eyes, also possesing black facial hair. His name was Busho.

Busho:Hey! Are you listening, Mumen Rider!? You're absolutely no match for this! You may be class C, Rank 1, but this guy took down class S heroes! We'll assemble a team, so stay out of this!

Busho:Hey! Are you listening, Mumen Rider!? You're absolutely no match for this! You may be class C, Rank 1, but this guy took down class S heroes! We'll assemble a team, so stay out of this!

Kumagawa:[Ah, that's a shame. I'm really bad at that, you know? So it defeated multiple Class S heroes? Wow! So among these mobs, there is a Demon King!]

Busho:H...Huh? What are you talking about...No, who even are you!? Where's Mumen Rider!?

Kumagawa:[No idea. I found this phone on the pavement.]

Busho:Tch, that guy...

Kumagawa:[You're really having a hard time, huh? Well, that's not surprising. With all this happening you office slaves must work ypur backs off!]

Busho:That's...One way to put it...

Kumagawa:[Anyway, where's all the fun at? I'm hero as well. Well, as a job, that is. Kumagawa Misogi? Rings any bell?]

Busho:Kumagawa Misogi...

Busho's mind quickly made the connections. One of the three new Class S heroes, if he's not wrong his hero name given by the public is...

Busho:Kumagawa Misogi...Mr. Screw!

Kumagawa:[Eh? That's what they've been calling me? So lame! Naked Apron-senpai was much better, even though now I have a larger pool of interests...Anyway, can you tell me where it is already? The rain making my hair get into my eyes, it's annoying.]

Yes, he's mostly known for fighting with screws he seems to be able to summon from nowhere. He also is the possesor of the new record for the physical test and aced the written test, as well as being major player in the elimination of the meteor that almost destroyed City Z.

From the reports he's also eccentric and seems to only move at his whims, although these two traits are quite common for Class S heroes for some reason. Though he's the only Class S hero, and hero in general, that has an unique speech pattern.

Even among Class S, he's a peculiar one. Still, his abilities were unquestionable, having even the hero Bang vouch for him.

Busho:...Understood. I'll rely the coordinations to you right now. Also, if you see a hero wearing an helmet and googles with a bycicle, that's Mumen Rider. If he's still alive, please try to save him. His heart is in the right place, but he's way too reckless.

Kumagawa:[I see...Oh, one more thing.]

Busho:Yes?

Kumagawa:[Is your last name Hitoyoshi? If not, do you have any relatives with the name Hitoyoshi?]

Busho momentarily paused after hearing Kumagawa's question. Where did that come from?

Busho:Um...No, why are you asking?

Kumagawa:[Ah, don't worry, don't worry. You just remind me of an old friend.]

Busho:I...Thank you, I guess?
