You know how to take a punch, wanna be a hero ?

/warning : mention of blood and injuries./

"I'm going to apply for the U.A. academy."

Kyoko nearly choked on her sobas. This was by far the last thing she expected. Kaji's words had had a strong impact on him : proving that his life was better than this. Now that was a plan !

" What, you think I can't do it ? Heisuke said indignantly with an anger he had learned to control. I've been reading up on the entrance exam and I can tell you that I've got a good chance!... Now it's the written exam that I'm not sure about," he muttered into his noodles. But I can do it! I'm no numb. "

Kaji was about to open his mouth but Kyoko elbowed him lightly in the ribs.

" You're right! I think you'll be able to succeed ! she said with an encouraging smile. As for the written exam, we can help you study if you want ! - Catch up on two years of unschooling? Kaji asked with a raised eyebrow. - I can learn fast. I can prove to them that I'm not a bully! said the teenager with conviction. "

Surely, the words of Kaji and the night he had agreed to defend him in court still echoed in his head. He wanted to prove that he was better than Muscular, the villain he had inherited so much physically.

Kyoko smirked. Kaji disapproved not as his former lawyer, but for a more personal reason. He finished his meal in silence while Heisuke and Kyoko were already discussing a plan for intense study sessions. Once they had finished, Heisuke went back to his apartment where he lived alone, a list of books to borrow in his pocket.

Shortly after his trial where he had been given a period of supervision-assigned to Kyoko-he had found himself liking, the one he had started out calling a "thirty years old bitch" before discovering that she was ten years younger than he thought.

For the first time in a long time, Heisuke smiled not out of pride after pulling off a bad move, but out of pride in his decision to finally do something that wasn't like him, and he vowed to do everything in his power to prove that he wasn't a bad guy. Suddenly, a clatter garbage cans caught his attention. It wasn't as if he lived in a very recommendable neighborhood, so he didn't get alarmed, used to this atmosphere. Out of curiosity, however, he glanced down the street.

Four hooligans were hiding a fifth one who was pressed up against the wall.

Out of breath, he was quickly put back on his feet by two of his assailants holding him by the arms. Heisuke could see a smirk on his lips. His face had taken some beating for a while, it seemed to him (for he knew what a beating looked like), but still had not escaped. The future U.A. wannabe student smiled in the same way as the victim and shoved his hands into his pockets.

" Hey you ! said the victime. Are you planning to step in and be a hero someday or are you staying here to watch the show? "

The four thugs all turned to Heisuke. He grumbled for a moment and ran his hand through his hair. The smart guy had to open his mouth.

" No, I'm just looking," said the future hero. I belive in you, you can take it. One does not meet that every day. Please continue. - Dirty bastard. "

His insult was followed by an amused laugh and another round of punches.

" Shut up! You could at least have the decency to let yourself be beaten up without saying anything. Tie him up guys. And you there! pointed out the taller one threateningly. Don't you dare interfere. "

Heisuke raised his hands in the air and stepped back as if to pretend he didn't care and didn't want to be involved in all this. The group of thugs then tied the boy to the gate behind him and began to rain down a torrent of blows again and again.

After a good ten minutes, the group just stopped. They believed he had learned his lesson.

"Well, he'll be lucky to walk tomorrow. - So true, Yamato! That'll teach him," laughed another. "

The young idiots laughed out loud and left their victim tied up. They didn't seem to see Heisuke, not even when they passed within a few centimeters of him while leaving the alley. Gradually, the poor guy regained consciousness. He saw Heisuke walking towards him without saying anything, his hands still in his pockets.

"Hey. Are you dead? he asked in a flat tone. - No... just resting my eyes..."

Heisuke nodded slowly and grabbed the chains that were holding him up. With a sharp gesture, he ripped them off and the lynch victim fell sharply on his butt without complaint, not really impressed by Naoko's superhuman strength.

"You know how to take a beating, asshole. - Thanks, I work hard every day! And my name is Shin, not asshole. - Great for you, Shin asshole. How would you like to be a hero? "

Without warning, the beaten man now bearing the name Shin burst out laughing before bringing his hand to his stomach where a few ribs must have suffered.

" That's a good one! To become a hero ! I'm the one who just got beaten up but you're clearly the one who's gone crazy. Why would I become a hero ? - You might get beat up but at least you can get paid for it. - You'd make a terrible recruiter. - So ?! Make up your mind ! I don't have all day ! "

Again, Shin laughed until it hurt. He let out a long sigh to get rid of the pain and replied:

"Okay. Anyway, it's not like I had anything planned. - What's your quirk?"

Shin then looked at Heisuke like a bewildered person. There was an awkward silence between the two teenagers. The blond boy was serious and had a jaded face. For the third and last time, Shin laughed until he ended up with his head on the pavement. Heisuke looked at Shin and rolled his eyes in despair. Then he heard the all too familiar sound of a dagger flying at his face. Caught off guard, he had just enough time to move back a few inches, but it was totally useless. The next thing he knew, the knife Shin had thrown was stuck in the wall behind him. Shin had raised two fingers in his direction, his eternal proud and teasing smile floating on his face.

" I manipulate the trajectory of the objects I throw and I excel at it. Of course, the jerks who just beat me up were smarter than I expected and they figured me out during a competition in a high-class establishment! He said with a raised eyebrow. - You say that like the bar across the street is fancy, but the rats come in through the front door. - High-class establishment," Shin argued. What do you think? I'm already thinking of a name. - Impress me. "

Shin wore his best smile, a broken tooth and a bloody nose. He pulled on his jacket and opened his arms wide like a showman before announcing.

"TARGET. - Kaji and Kyoko are going to kill me. "
