-Sometime After Hosu Incident-

The Underworlds Hell.

    At least that's what the many locals had referred to it as.

    It had been basically Hell on Earth for any normal person if they dared to travel to such a place. Though for the criminals that dwelled there, it had been a safe haven for them. Where they were outside of the city laws, away from the Pros, and most importantly... They were far away from the Symbol of Peace.

That was only one of the huge benefits to staying there. 

The other had been, in simpler terms... There were no rules in the Underworlds Hell.

It had been basically anarchy, and those brave enough to stay were mostly the targets for many criminals that dwelled as most would consider it to be a game.

And for most, the hunting game was going to get more interesting.

In one of the many rundown taverns that still stood, a small crowd had been gathered around the television, as they saw something interesting on the news. They were all shocked to see what exactly had been on the small visible screen.

"--And while the newly named Hosu incident has been contained by authorities and Pros, the citizens and neighboring district can't help but express their concerns." The Newscaster said, "Reports tell us that Chizome Akaguro AKA--The Hero Killer Stain and UA student as well as third place winner of the recent Sports Festival--Reina Nouki are the suspects involved in the incident. And while the Hero Killer has been detained by authorities, Reina Nouki is currently unavailable for questioning. Until we can learn more, all citizens can't help but ask one thing... Is this the same girl we saw in the Sports Festival... Or is she a wolf in sheep's clothing? Only time will tell..."

The crowd had mixed feelings about this kind of thing as they were quick to voice their own opinions when they saw the footage of Hosu.

"Holy hell! That girl caused that much damage!?"

"She's just a kid, and she has that kind of a Quirk on her!?"

"That little brat, I knew she wasn't right the moment she set foot on that stage!"

"That's a bit harsh, I mean she's still a kid you know?"

"Even so, she's like a devil in disguise."

"Hey, you don't think she's gonna come here, do you?"

"You serious!? She's a little girl, she wouldn't last more then a day in the Underworlds Hell! Let the other bastards have fun with her!"

"Man come on, have some class."

A man with black hair wearing a hood to hide his face had been sitting furthest from the bar as he listened to the crowd's conversation as well as what had been on the TV. The only thing that seemed to stand out about the man was his wrists. They looked to be burned and had metal staples.

His eyes, of the color turquoise, looked at the image of the girl on the screen as the newscasters continued to talk about her.

"They're right." He said to himself, "Kid like her... Won't last more then a day, even with that Quirk she has."

He placed a cigarette between his lips, getting it lit with a snap of his fingers; from his fingers he produced that of a small blue flame. With but a sigh he created a small gray cloud as he had a certain look on his face.
