- You... you're a kid in a suit too, aren't you? You still have a chance to leave.
- Go? I?
I even pointed my finger at myself.
- Man, did you hit your head? So far, you're the only one who's been getting hit in the head... or maybe I hit you too hard?
I shook my head thoughtfully.
- Yeah, no, I didn't hit you hard enough not to tear your head off and turn it into a bloody mess.....
I looked at the villain thoughtfully, noticing how the Indian was writhing and how Ingenium was grimacing.
- Listen, what's your scarf for? Red so your enemies can't see you bleeding? Well, like the Spartans used to do, they say my blood is not visible to the enemy and they are afraid thinking that you are safe and sound... but it looks faggy on you....
- You! You're a fake!
The man lunged towards me and in the process he pulled another medium length blade from its sheath behind his back.
I didn't risk taking the blade on the block. Not that I doubted my suit, but why take any unnecessary risks?
Left...right....
I poked the man lightly in the ribs with my fingers and gave him a kick that made him run two steps further, and I caught him with my web and yanked him back in my direction, preventing him from lunging toward Iida, who was closer to him than I was. And Shadow was an easier target since he was paralysed.
- Look, you're no good at all...
I shook my head defiantly.
- ...all you can do is waggle your irons around pointlessly....
- You! You're no hero! That's no way for a hero to behave! Fake! I'll kill you!
He threw several knives at me, and at the same time he rushed towards me, pulling out another pair of knives, which he now held in both hands. I activate my blades and beat back the villain's knives with them, while I watch as he abruptly changed his direction of movement and pushed himself off the wall of the building and tried to attack me from above.
Well, it's not interesting, Rumi will kill him just like that....
Dash!
I slip under him while he's still in the air, and in the process, I grab the web at his feet.
I'm already jumping up high and pushing off the wall and pulling the villain with me. I chain him so that he would hang head down at the height of five floors and glue his hands together, and then I make some ties from the web, which will not allow him to swing and do anything.
- So that's it...
I find myself standing in front of him head down in a canonical Spider-Man pose....
- Yeah... what a bunch of villains... they can't even defeat a student who hasn't finished his first year...
I shake my head and after thinking I start wrapping this villain in a cocoon.
- I see my help is no longer needed here....
I glance at Shoto, who has entered the alley.
- No...
I shrugged.
- And who, this loser is anyway?
- Blur...
Iida finally managed to start moving and assumed a sitting position.
- Okay. Sit there and don't move....
I'll jump down and start examining his wounds.
- You say it's the Blur? The villain who kills heroes?
- Yeah.
Iida grinned sadly.
- The same one who almost killed my brother and only by luck did he survive. But he'll never be a hero again. And I couldn't do anything about it... Even the Indian couldn't stand up to him, and you....
- I defeated him easily.
- Yeah.
- Well, you'd expect nothing less from Spider.
- Yes, Shoto...
I grinned.
- You could also beat him, although your speed isn't very fast and you'd be in trouble. But not a very big one.
- I see...
After finishing examining Tenyi, I quickly covered his wounds with webbing.
- It won't help for long...
At that moment, my instincts kicked in and I went into a roll, pulling Iida behind me, but the danger was not over and soon I was grabbed by the back of my neck and pulled upwards.
Abruptly throwing my arm out towards the building and blowing a web.
- Tz!
A strong jerk and I start to fall, but I manage to let the web from the other hand, then dodging in the air and let the web in the already unfolded Noma.
Snap!
The creature realised that something was wrong and tried to move upwards, so it started to play with me to pull the Spider... but I was strong and patient, so after waiting for the moment I sharply pull the web and Nomu loses stability, starting to fall.
Chance!
With a jerk of my hand I pull the monster to me by the web, and then I fired a few shots with darts charged with electricity. The beast roared and at that moment it was hit by Shoto's fire, which scorched its wings and it finally collapsed to the ground.
- Tsk...
Once I was next to her, I quickly fixed her with the webbing.
-Thank you, Shoto.
- You're welcome, we're doing the same thing...''
I nodded and returned to Iida.
- Can you walk?
- Yes...
I helped him up and together we left the alley.
- Hey!
I attracted the attention of the nearest police officers.
- Help me!
They came running towards me.
- He needs to go to the hospital, and there's a villain hanging from a spider web in that alley that's kind of the Blur, and Nomu....
- That's--
- Yeah, good for you, and I'm gonna go give first aid to the Indian, because worrying about that idiot, I somehow forgot about him...
- It's okay.
A voice came from the alley.
- ...I'm already able to move on my own.
The Indian came out of the alley.
And I put him in the hands of the policemen.
A ringing phone caught my attention... Rumi...
- This is Miruko.
- Spider, where the hell are you?!
- Yes here...
I looked around lost and quickly gave the address from the nearest house.
- Wait for me there! I'll be there soon!
Sighing I contacted my companions through the phone and followed what was happening. The number of riots was gradually decreasing. That's good... So we can really wait for Rumi in peace....
- Um... I'm sorry...
- Yes?
I turned towards the policeman.
- Could you help me remove the Blur?
- Sure...
I grinned and made my way to the alley where I helped the criminal down to the ground and handed him over to the police, still completely wrapped in the web. I walked to the wall where the glider was sticking out.
- Hmm... you're okay...
I used one hand to gently pull the glider out of the wall.
- Where are you?!
Miruko's loud shriek interrupted my inspection of the glider, after which I put it on the ground and carefully stood on it and flew up.
- Yeah, I'm here, I'm, I'm here!
I slowly flew out of the alley.
- The glider was being picked up by...
- You!
She came at me furiously, but I was already taller than her, and now I was also hovering on a glider... anyway her rage looked a bit funny.
- Yeah?
- I was worried! What the hell are you doing out in the middle of nowhere without telling me?! I thought you'd be working in the suburbs, but you!
- Miruko, I was helping people.
She glared at me with a frown.
- You... okay, I'll explain everything to you at training... Let's fly, you can take me home.
- Okay.
I shrugged and Rumi went round me and jumped on my back. But this time her arms and legs clamped down on me a little harder. She wasn't screaming with delight either.
The flight was quiet...
- Rumi...
Once at her house, I switched off the hero suit and jumped off the glider and approached her.
- You bastard! You haven't finished your training yet and--
- Rumi, I know I'm not experienced, but if I don't do anything, I won't get any experience, and my suit can allow me to take some attacks on my chest, so to speak. So I was safer than you...
Touching her cheek with my fingertips.
- You're the one I was worried about...
- You...
She looked at me and took a sharp step forward and stood on her toes and touched her lips to mine.
- ...Tsuyu and I talked and she's fine with me.
She sighed.
- I'm not sure if I want THAT kind of relationship yet, and you made me worried today... but you did a good job.....
She gave me an embarrassed smile.
- I see...
Enclosing Rumi in a tight hug.
- I was worried too and I'm glad you're alright.
- Mm-hmm...
I let go of her, but she hugs me tightly, not letting me pull away.
- Can I stay like this a little longer?
- Can I...
I grinned and hugged Bunny again, stroking her head and back.
- Hmph...
She snorted after about five minutes and gently released herself from the hug.
- ...That's enough of that. Tomorrow, to report by six o'clock. There will be full contact training.
- Got it.
- And bring some vegetables!
- Okay.
- And juice!
- You got it.
- Why are you agreeing to everything? What are you, some kind of subservient?!
- No, it's just that everything you just said was more than predictable. And it's not hard to do.
- Is it?
She gave me a glare and then nodded.
- Get out of here.
Her ears were perked up, indicating she was a little excited. But what exactly caused her emotional excitement? The fight?
Quite possibly.
Our revelations?
Also possible.
The upcoming full-contact training?
All at once?
More than possible.
I climbed into the glider and flew upwards, knowing full well that tomorrow morning I would report to Rumi and get the shit beaten out of me.
Taking out my phone I dialled Tsuyu's number.
- Kwa?
- How are you?
- Safe and sound, the Cats didn't let me in the fight, now we're helping to clear the rubble and look for the wounded.
- Do you need my help?
- Kwa... Tiger, Spider's asking if he needs help.
- Any help will be accepted!
- I'll be right there.
- Yeah. How are you?
- I'm fine, so is Rumi...
- Well, we'll talk when we meet, if we have time.
