The Ninjas

Out of all the things in the Monster Association, the last thing Flashy Flash expected to see was the A Class hero Yan-chan and some random highschool boy, sitting on the bridge behind him.

The girl was staring up at him, her expression blank. The boy's face was obscured with hair. Flashy Flash knew that the boy wasn't a hero, so he wasn't entirely sure why he was there. When Flashy Flash had first seen Ayano at the S Class meeting during the alien invasion, he hadn't paid her much mind. He wasn't sure why she was there, but why was he to pry into that? It did not matter.

What did matter though was how popular she had become all of a sudden. She went from being at the bottom of Class B to the top of Class A in only a month. No matter what you thought of her, you had to admit that was very impressive. Or very fishy. She was either a fraud... or exceptionally strong. She reminded Flashy Flash of Goddess, in a weird way. Not that he had seen that girl for a while. Class S certainly felt different without her.

Flashy Flash scowled, returning his attention to the fight. He turned to face the two monsters standing before him: Hellfire Flame and Gale Wind.

"One thing stands in our way of world domination," Gale Wind boomed. "And it's not the heroes, it's the best warriors from the village!"

They charged towards Flashy Flash, even faster than before. Flashy Flash used his swords to defend himself.

"We can't allow more people with ninja techniques running about!" the monsters yelled.

Ninja village? Ayano thought. There are more ninjas? An entire village of them?

"The village has no monopoly on ninjutsu," Flashy Flash huffed.

"But even the others can't compare!" the monsters screamed. "And, in the history of our village, our 37th is held widely to be the strongest! You now face the top two of the golden generation, former leader of the 44th Generation! I wonder how long you will hold out?!"

They charged towards Flashy Flash, their techniques even faster than before. Ayano could barely see their movements.

"Why are you two still here?" Flashy Flash grumbled, giving Ayano a glance over his shoulder. "Leave, idiots!"

"No, we can't let her leave," Hellfire Flame cackled.

"Right," Gale Wind giggled. "We were told to bring her in! I suppose that's the least we can do for the Monster Association in return for their services! If she still refuses, we'll kill her and her male accomplice too!"

Ayano forced herself to stand, grabbing Taro's arm.

He is correct, he thought. I should leave.

But at the same time... this was an S Class hero all by himself, getting wounded down by two Dragon-level monsters.

Or was he? Suddenly, the hero managed to shove them back. The two coughed, bodies shaking from the impact. They sat on the other side of the broken bridge. Mild scratches were on Flashy Flash's face, but he kept his stern gaze.

"Gale Wind," the hero sighed, wiping his face. "Hellfire Flame. It goes without saying, but I have full knowledge of all your techniques. I've trained more than anyone else, so it's little wonder. The more formidable the warrior, the more faithful they are to their basic style. No matter how fast you may be, if I know the style of your attacks, I can easily deal with them."

Despite that lecture, the monsters didn't seem done yet.

"Heh," Gale Wind chuckled.

"Is that so?" Hellfire Flame asked. "Fine then."
