Chapter 32 (Part 1)- Them, Two Years Later and Their Facade

*3rd PoV*

Two years later...

In the city of Tokyo, two years after the Forest Incident, the hero society was deprived of its heroic value. Aside from the many allegations spurred from the heroes' incompetence, there was also a surge increase of villain encounters.

The streets were no longer truly 'safe' even when the heroes were around. Heck, if you ever stayed out of home for more than an hour, you would either get caught in a fight between heroes and villains or get mugged by a villain yourself.

This was all stemmed from the fact that All Might was no longer on duty, and from the public announcement regarding the existence of All For One.

As of UA's condition right now, their prestigious title was non-existent anymore. On the bright side, they were still teaching and accepting students despite their tainted record of training a villain spy, as well as losing a student to the villain's grasp who was ironically the daughter of the now number one hero Endeavor.

All in all, the hero side of today's history is hanging on a loose thread.

Many people are even discouraged to become heroes since all they ever do is fight dangerous villains and get paid less than the minimum wage. And popularity was nothing more than exposure to get targeted by...him. Even the rescue and infiltration oriented heroes were having a tough time because of the league's interference.

At this point, no one knows which side has the upper hand anymore. But if things continue to go on like this, then the new era of heroism and villainy would take a much darker tone.

Hero 1: "Get that bastard! It's another teen villain!"

Villain: "S-Shit!"

In the city, there were two heroes chasing after a young villain who was carrying what appears to be a suitcase filled with something valuable.

Villain: "Leave me alone!" He fires a hail of stones at the heroes, but it was futile since one of them easily blocked the attack with his quirk. 'Fuck! I have to lose them or at this rate, I'll be imprisoned!'

He turns at a corner, skidding through the alleys infested with dirty sewage water and unkempt garbage waste. As he continues to dodge some attempts from the heroes to knock him out, he then swiftly turns at another corner only to find himself at a dead end.

Villain: "Crap!" He turns around attempting to run, only for his path to be blocked by the heroes. "Tch!"

Hero 1: "Hand over that briefcase you villain scum!" He readies out his rock shield.

Hero 2: "A youngun like you deserves to be punished by the law!" She whips out her electric whip.

Villain: "As if!" He smirked. "I almost risked getting caught just trying to steal this away from that architect! But with this, if I hand these blueprints over to the League of Villains, my villain career would be etched in stone!"

Hero 2: "You plan to hand those over to them?! Are you insane?!" She roars at him.

Villain: "At least it's better than putting it in the hands of incompetent heroes like you!" He fires rock bullets at the two.

Though the attack was stopped by the rock shield from the hero, then the other hero quickly whipped out her electric quick which managed to shock the teen villain who failed to roll away.
