Resistance of the Strong

A/N: If you haven't read the Impossible Murder Case chapter, I recommend reading it. It will make this chapter make more sense.

(Also, I updated chapter 6... again. I promise, this is the last edit. XD)

Akademi High, a prestigious high-school with a surprising amount of mystery behind it. Why were the police not allowed to investigate the school? Why did every teacher have to know basic self-defence in order to be able to teach there? Why did they always refuse media coverage, despite their popularity?

Ever since walking into Goddess' secret office back at the resort, Child Emperor had been asking himself these questions. He was going to figure out what she was investigating, and why she was suspicious of Ayano Aishi. To start his research, he needed to learn everything he could about their school, Akademi High.

Metal Knight had tried to talk him out of the investigation, saying it would get him into trouble, but Child Emperor insisted. If there was something going on, he wanted to find out what it was before anyone got hurt.

During this investigation, he found himself rather curious about Traveller. He knew that when she was a teenager, she had attended the school. The school had been built by Saikou Corp, a company she was affiliated with at some point. Around seven years after graduating, she became the hero everyone knew. Well, that was until she mysteriously disappeared ten years ago. No one had seen her since, or knew anything about her whereabouts. Not even the Hero Association. The only people that might've known where she was were Goddess and Blast, both of whom were not around either.

Another strange thing to come out of the school was the incident where a hacker tried to infiltrate the Hero Association database, but he stopped that from happening. He wondered if that hacker was still around.

The young hero followed another lead, learning about the history of Akademi. The school had been founded at least thirty years ago, from what he was reading. Apparently, there was a murder that took place around twenty-five years ago. Child Emperor remembered the newspaper clipping he'd seen on that pinboard back in Goddess' office. The one where a teenage girl named Ryoba Aishi had been accused of being a killer, but was found innocent.

Ryoba Aishi... she had to be Ayano's mother. If Ayano was truly behind something more sinister, then perhaps her mother was too.

Child Emperor read more about the Ryoba Aishi incident. The girl had been targeted by a journalist who believed she had killed another student. However, the girl proved her innocence, and made the journalist look like a villain.

Maybe she was innocent after all? But Goddess wouldn't investigate Ayano for no reason, Child Emperor knew that. It didn't help that the internet wasn't telling him much information. He realised if he really wanted to learn the truth, he'd have to go to Akademi himself.

He sighed. He knew the Association wanted him to go out and fight the Monster Association and that Hero Killer, but he had to take care of this first.

After all, Ayano Aishi might be just as dangerous as the Monster Association themselves, he thought.

It was not everyday an S Class hero rocked up at Akademi.

Sure, Goddess, the 2nd highest ranked hero, attended the school, but she currently wasn't around. And besides, aside from her, none of the other S Class heroes made an appearance there. Until today.

"Hey, look, it's Child Emperor!" some girls giggled, watching as the youngest hero made his way through the school. A lollipop was sticking out of his mouth as he glanced at a device in his hand.

"What's he doing here?" another girl asked. Her friends shrugged.

The office is this way, Child Emperor thought, going into the main building. Students eyes him as he passed, but he ignored them. He walked over to the office of the headmaster, Kocho Shuyona. It was a nice, spacious room, with an expensive wooden desk. A middle-aged man was sitting at the desk, a Saikou laptop in front of him. He looked weary and tired. The man looked up, reaching for a taser when he saw Child Emperor.
