"Listen, Midoriya! Although Kamen Rider Faiz's defense has been raised to its maximum, the best defense has always been to knock your opponent down first. So don't be afraid when fighting the enemy, just beat them to a pulp!"
"Hmm...I understand, Akaya-sensei."
Although his words were full of violent tendencies, Izuku Midoriya knew that Akaya-sensei was right. Enemies were not people you could talk to peacefully; if you weren't careful, they might kill you.
Having witnessed the ferocity of the League of Villains' spider enemies and seen people die before his eyes, Izuku Midoriya now knows very well what he is planning to do, just as his mother said... to become a hero and save many, many people.
Therefore, we must help All Might now to lure out the terrible enemy organization, the League of Villains, otherwise innocent people may be harmed in the future.
"Young Midoriya, no... from now on I'll just call you 'Kamen Rider Faiz,' that's your hero codename, understand?"
"Understood. I will transform into 'Kamen Rider Faiz' to assist you, All Might."
"Very good, from now on we must follow the instructions carefully."
Seeing that the two were already in the zone, Akaya Kaiun didn't say much. He simply turned around, waved, and left, leaving behind his last words.
"Good luck to you all. I hope the League of Villains will take the bait..."
These farewell words, with their two layers of meaning, will perhaps only be understood by Izuku Midoriya and All Might much later.
------------
"Hey! Bakugo, have you heard? There's a new Pro Hero that's appeared recently."
"what?"
Katsuki Bakugo, who seemed completely uninterested, observed that new heroes emerge frequently in this hero society. After all, anyone with even a modicum of ambition aspires to become a hero. In Japan, numerous hero schools graduate every year, highlighting the intense competition within the professional hero industry.
Every year, a large number of new heroes emerge, but Bakugo has no interest in getting to know those unknown and incompetent guys. In Bakugo's eyes, the only hero he cares about is All Might.
Unlike Bakugo, most middle school students who are still in school are very interested in hero gossip, just like ordinary people are obsessed with idols. After all, who doesn't want to be a hero admired by thousands?
Knowing that Bakugo Katsuyuki was no longer interested, but unable to resist the enthusiasm of this group of gossips to tell him the hot news, Bakugo, with a very annoyed and irritated expression, heard his classmates talking non-stop.
"The new hero's name is 'Kamen Rider Faiz.' I heard he helped the police catch a gang of robbers, and he single-handedly defeated three enemies—he's amazing!"
"However, Kamen Rider Faiz's hero uniform is a fully enclosed armor, so we don't know what he actually looks like, and we don't even know what his 'Quirk' is."
..........
The classmate telling Bakugo gossip about heroes was speaking quite loudly, and the whole classroom could hear it. However, since it was break time, no one thought it was inappropriate. After all, other students also enjoyed listening to these popular gossip stories. These words also reached Izuku Midoriya's ears.
"So, he became famous overnight...."
"Kamen Rider Faiz" is naturally Izuku Midoriya. All Might had him cooperate with Officer Takunai in some hero activities to make a name for himself, in order to lure out the League of Villains hiding in the shadows.
It must be said that the power of "Kamen Rider Faiz" is actually very strong. Even though Akaya Kaion reduced the belt's output power and turned it into defense, Midoriya Izuku could still easily take down three enemies in a 1v3 battle without any difficulty.
However, this also shows that the strength of the "League of Villains'" enemies is far inferior to that of other enemies. Kamen Rider Faiz, who can easily defeat ordinary enemies, could only barely win when fighting the Spider Monster by using his ultimate move. Izuku Midoriya can understand even more why All Might is so worried about the danger of the "League of Villains".
As an ordinary middle school student who can defeat the League of Villains, the key equipment he uses, the Rider Belt, has already been targeted by the enemy. As long as he spreads the reputation of "Kamen Rider Faiz" now, the League of Villains will definitely find out, and then there will be a great chance to lure the enemy into a trap.
However, All Might still had some strange questions. He heard from Izuku Midoriya that there was another enemy at the time. Why did he let Izuku Midoriya go? Logically speaking, Izuku Midoriya, who had already lost his ability to fight after transforming, should have been completely powerless to resist.
Izuku Midoriya was also concerned about this situation, but when the issue was discussed recently, Kaiu Akaya added:
"Who knew the 'Knight Belt' would run out of energy and be unable to transform? After all, his comrades probably wouldn't dare to be careless after just being kicked down. Of course, this is just my personal speculation. Who knows what the League of Villains is really thinking?"
"What Akaya-sensei said is quite right... Perhaps that man thought I still had the ability to protect myself, so he was cautious and did not make a move."
"That makes sense. Only Midoriya himself knew that the Kid Rider Belt was unusable due to depleted energy. It's normal that the enemy didn't know either and chose to retreat."
The two, easily misled by Akaya Kaiun's words, were caught off guard when a certain malicious mastermind spoke up in a serious tone:
"Now that 'Kamen Rider Faiz' has made a name for himself, All Might, can you guarantee that you'll protect this kid when the League of Villains takes the bait?"
"Of course! I am All Might..."
"Really...? Why do I sense you're a little guilty?"
"real....."
Stared at by Akaya Kaion's overly stern gaze, All Might could only turn his head away. He was indeed a little unsure of himself, after all, the League of Villains was backed by the man called "all for one".
Without continuing the idle chatter with All Might, Akaya Kaiun certainly knew what would happen next... After all, he himself was the mastermind, so now...
"Izuku, continue."
"Teacher Akaya?"
Seeing Akaya Kaion toss him a flip phone, Midoriya Izuku hurriedly caught it. He was a little confused as to why Akaya-sensei would give him a flip phone... Wasn't that thing obsolete after smartphones?
"Only with this can the Rider Belt system be fully activated. It can be considered the key to transforming into 'Kamen Rider Faiz,' and the activation code is '555.'"
"Ugh?!"
Suddenly feeling both confused and impressed, Izuku Midoriya noticed a slot on his original Rider Belt, which was just the right size to hold the flip phone.
"This flip phone, the 'Faiz Phone,' is the core of the Rider Belt. Only with it can you use various special moves and other transformation forms. Of course, none of the above have been developed yet, so don't even think about transforming into your final form in one go."
"Well....."
Midoriya Izuku's beautiful dream was shattered in an instant, and Akaya Kaiun slowly began to explain the precautions.
"If Kamen Rider Faiz takes extreme damage, he will automatically break out of his transformation state. So don't think that just because he has strong defense now, you can use reckless tactics. You will die a terrible death if you do that."
"Also, the Rider Belt can actually be used by anyone, so be careful not to let it fall into the hands of the enemy. However, with the flip phone as the transformation key, you'll need to enter the transformation code '555' to activate it in the future to transform into 'Kamen Rider Faiz,' which can be considered a small security lock."
.........
After being given a long list of instructions, Izuku Midoriya felt a little dizzy. It wasn't that he hadn't memorized them properly; it was just that his head felt throbbing because he had memorized them all.
"One last thing: fight well. Although you're only a temporary one right now... you're still a 'hero' now."
"Understood! Thank you so much, Akaya-sensei."
There's no need to say more; what follows is a fierce battle that could happen at any moment, as the League of Villains is about to attack.
------------
"Damn it! You damn brat."
Tarantula clearly remembers how the Spider Monster, who threw a tantrum in the League of Villains' bar stronghold, was defeated by a middle school student. It was only because he used that strange belt to transform that he became so powerful; otherwise, Tarantula could have easily crushed him.
Now, with the appearance of "Kamen Rider Faiz" appearing on the TV news, Tarantula immediately recognized this guy as the brat who defeated him, and is now even more furious... If this weren't the League of Villains' stronghold bar, Tarantula might have already smashed bottles in a rage.
Shigaraki Tomura and Kurokiri watched coldly from the sidelines, saying nothing. They watched "Tarantula's" excessive behavior like clowns, except that this clown was not funny.
"Tarantula, I heard the mission I assigned you failed?"
"You've arrived, Chief."
Akaya Kaiun emerged from the shadows of the bar, and Shigaraki Tomura and Kurokiri greeted him immediately, while Tarantula was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Sir...sir..."
"I don't need useless people who can't complete the mission. Do you have anything to say?"
Akaya Kaiun, though smiling and speaking calmly, was heard by Tarantula as a whisper of death.
"It's all that brat's fault! He has this weird belt and transforms into something like 'Kamen Rider Faiz,' I've never heard of that before... It must be some new gadget the heroes came up with, no doubt about it!!"
The tarantula, frantically making up excuses, was now seething with hatred for Izuku Midoriya. If it weren't for this troublesome brat, he wouldn't be in this situation. If he had the chance, he would definitely kill that bastard next time.
"Miao, I'd like to hear your opinion?"
Turning his gaze to Shigaraki Tomura, Akaya Kaiun had arranged for him to follow Tarantula and carry out his orders last time, so Shigaraki Tomura knew exactly what to do.
"Chief, I'm very interested in what that kid has."
"I see, I understand."
Akaya Kaiun turned his gaze back to the tarantula, and the spider monster froze, feeling as if his heart was about to stop.
"Since that's the case, I'll give you another chance."
"Go deal with that kid and get back what the grudge is interested in, is that alright?"
"No problem! Sir, I will definitely tear that brat to pieces!!"
With a heavy weight lifted from his heart, the tarantula kowtowed in gratitude to the lord before him for giving him the chance to take revenge. However, he failed to notice that everyone present was looking at him with the same eyes one would use to look at a dead man.
Tarantula, who was preparing to seek revenge on Midoriya Izuku, left the bar after this discarded pawn. Only then did Akaya Kaiun sit down at the bar and skillfully order a mixed drink from Kurogiri.
"Miao, now you may ask your questions. I imagine you have many questions on your mind, right?"
"No... I will carry out any order from you, Chief, without any doubt."
"While I am pleased with your loyalty, this is not acceptable."
Shigaraki Tomura is a person of great importance. He knows All For One, and he naturally knows Akaya Kaiun as well. Therefore, this leader of the League of Villains certainly has his own personal plans.
Do you know how to gain the trust of others?
""trust"?"
"That's right, whether as an enemy or a hero, 'trust' is a very important thing."
Holding the mixed sake prepared by the black mist in his hand, Akaya Kaiun took a sip and then gave Shigaraki Tomura a simple example:
"For example, you trust Teacher 'All For One' very much, right?"
"Hmm...that's why I'm willing to pledge my loyalty to you, Chief. You healed my teacher's illness, and you're someone I can 'trust'."
"Hahaha! That's right. Your 'trust' in me is based on the fact that I healed our teacher, so now you should understand why so many people worship All Might, right?"
This statement struck a nerve with Shigaraki Tomura. Like many others, he idolized All Might when he was young, but when his family was killed by enemies, no hero came. It was All For One who saved him... That's why Shigaraki Tomura hates the existence of heroes so much now.
This irrational hatred is twisted, but All For One deliberately cultivated Shigaraki Tomura into his current state because that man wanted to use him to take revenge on All Might. However, Izuku Midoriya had no such intention. He planned to properly train Shigaraki Tomura, as this person still had great use to him.
"Because All Might saved many people, everyone trusted the 'Symbol of Peace,' which is precisely the drawback of a hero society. 'Trust' is something... can be changed."
“I have a proposal now.”
After downing the wine in his glass in one gulp, Akaya Kaiun looked at Shigaraki Tomura before him and revealed a terrifying smile.
"Can you replace All Might and become the person everyone 'trusts'?"
Chapter 11 Being foul-mouthed is fun for a moment, but being foul-mouthed all the time is even more fun.
Hidden in the shadows, the League of Villains remained silent. Faced with this potentially huge danger, All Might and the police leadership adopted a sting operation, having Izuku Midoriya transform into "Kamen Rider Faiz" in an attempt to lure out the League of Villains. The plan was fraught with danger and uncertainty, but it was the only viable option at the moment.
All Might is worried about the true mastermind behind the League of Villains, the man known as "all for one," whose nemesis, whom he thought he had killed, is still alive... and now that he has returned, he definitely has a big plan to harm the whole society.
The League of Villains' current actions are already a harbinger of trouble. All for One is gradually bringing together the enemy organizations of the entire dark world, and whatever he plans to do is clearly not going to be a good thing.
The police investigation was useless; the existence of the League of Villains was as difficult to find as a stone in the ocean. All Might had also asked other related hero agencies to investigate, but they had no way to find any clues or locations of this enemy organization.
Now, the goal is to find a way to get the League of Villains to show themselves, and Izuku Midoriya happens to become the key figure in this endeavor. Thus, the extremely unreliable and dangerous plan proceeds.
With the help of Officer Takunai, the reputation of "Kamen Rider Faiz" has spread. While Izuku Midoriya is carrying out his rookie hero activities, All Might is also lurking nearby, ready to go and support him at any time, just in case the League of Villains appears.
The police use earpieces to communicate during their missions, and Izuku Midoriya can report the situation to All Might at any time. To avoid alerting the enemy, the plan is carried out by All Might alone in secret. It would be pointless to involve too many police officers and heroes, since no one can compare to the strength of the No. 1 hero.
In addition, in order to successfully lure out the League of Villains, the police station deliberately promoted "Kamen Rider Faiz," such as "a robber is on the run in that city, and 'Kamen Rider Faiz' has assisted the police in chasing down the enemy," and so on.
Although the hook and bait are too obvious, if the League of Villains cannot be lured out when they are prepared, then Izuku Midoriya's situation will be very dangerous. Therefore, for now, we can only act in this planned way for a period of time.
However, if he can't lure the League of Villains into a trap this way, All Might will have to try his best to ask Nighteye for help, hoping that his old partner can help this time... but the chances are probably slim.
Actually, All Might had already approached Nighteye once before, but the bespectacled man righteously refused All Might's request. Not for any particular reason... but because All Might was begging him, he would never agree.
Nighteye once used his "precognition" quirk to see All Might's death. He tried to dissuade All Might from continuing his hero activities but was refused, and the two parted ways after that.
That being said, Nighteye was still a loyal fan of All Might, and having heard of the League of Villains, he was already on guard. He realized that All Might's request for him must be unusual, so he refused without hesitation, without even considering it.
Nighteye is a very shrewd man, and he knows about All Might and All For One. When All Might's body was overwhelmed, this most loyal supporter of All Might had already helped the No. 1 hero cultivate a perfect successor, "Miriamori Togata". It's just a pity that All Might and Mirio have not yet met.
Nighteye deeply regrets using his "foresight" quirk to see All Might's death, hoping he can retire soon and be relieved of his burdens. He is now doing everything he can to avoid this terrible future.
When All Might's request to Nighteye was rejected, the man, sensing something was wrong, contacted Inspector Takunai. As someone in the know, Nighteye easily learned the truth from his police friend. So now Nighteye is determined not to let All Might go to his death.
Nighteye knew that All Might wanted to take advantage of the current battle with "All For One" to completely defeat that nemesis, so he asked Nighteye to use his "foresight" quirk to find the enemy. ... But now, without even thinking about it, Nighteye would never agree.
Even if the existence of "All For One" would bring a huge crisis to this hero society, Nighteye would not let All Might fight that man again. The last life-or-death battle had already crippled half of the No. 1 hero's body. If All Might were to fight All For One again this time... Nighteye was terrified that the future he saw, the future scene of All Might's death, would become a reality.
It is precisely because the person most likely to find the "all for one" clue would never help him that All Might resorted to such an unreliable plan out of various circumstances, which is why the real world is always so frustrating.
All Might is worried that the existence of All For One and the League of Villains will harm the hero society, while Nighteye is only worried about All Might's safety. When their concerns clash, it naturally ends in an unpleasant parting.
That's exactly why Nighteye and All Might parted ways; perhaps that's just reality.
