Chapter 45 - Yakuza Raid meeting

The day Aizawa and I were called into Nighteye's agency, I got a whole bunch of goodies from the Gacha.

[Gift from beyond the veil, 1x Random Gold Ticket] (BBWulf)

[Gift from beyond the veil, 1x Random Silver Ticket] (Dravik_Sin)

[Gift from beyond the veil, 1x Random Gold Ticket] (Boltbit77)

With how things were looking, these might come in handy. Spin 'em.

[Spinning, spinning, spinning, done!]

[No Strangers]

|Uncommon Trait|

To Love, apparently, they are a stranger to it. People don't seem to mind open displays of affection as long as you aren't too overt.

Sasha should like this one.

[Inventory]

|Rare Ability|

You have access to an inventory subspace that you can store inanimate targets inside in a static state. By default, you can store 100 tons inside of it; the maximum weight of what your inventory can hold scales with your physical stats. To store something inside the inventory, you must will it inside while touching the target. Any stored target can be taken out of storage within a distance of at most 1 meter from your body.

This would be very useful. In the past few days, I'd been preparing plenty of chems to use during the raid. If I could avoid Nighteye dying, I would, but I also had a few other things that would be useful. Now for the last one.

[Durable]

|Common Trait|

You are fairly tough, granting you a slight increase to your defense and letting you take more punishment.

Nice, always good to have something else helping me.

As we filed into the meeting room, I waved at Momo, Nejire, Ochaco, Tsuyu, and Ryukyu. I also spotted Kirishima and Tamaki, or Suneater, with their work study hero, Fat Gum. They seemed to be the only ones happy to see me, however.

A good portion of the police present seemed conflicted at me being there, the heroes didn't seem pleased either. Rock Lock is flat out glaring at me, Bubble Girl looks vaguely uncomfortable with me being here, and Nighteye is doing his best to ignore me.

Reading the room, I stay silent throughout the briefing. I make sure I'm paying attention, though, to know what group I'm in, Nighteye's squad. I have to force myself not to burn the TV displaying Overhaul when Nighteye goes over what he knows about him.

"This is their leader, a man named Kai Chisake. He is the current leader of the Shie Hassaikai and the main target. He holds a quirk named Overhaul. We don't know exactly what it does, but he is using it to create quirk-erasing bullets from this girl," Nighteye said before showing a sketch of Eri.

I silently raise my hand, "Yes?" Nighteye sounds like he'd rather not talk to me, but he powers through.

"Overhaul requires direct tough to use his quirk. Do not let him touch you; he will kill you." I say simply as Nighteye nods, putting that info away as I went silent once more. I didn't say much for the rest of the meeting, even when Rock Lock made some very pointed comments against the other students being present and me.

When it was all said and done, I linked up with the other students, and we got something to eat. Tamaki tried to get out of it, but Nejire literally dragged him behind her as we piled in to eat.

Most of the talking was done by Nejire and Kirishima. The two of them just couldn't get all the words they wanted out at once, sharing stories and what they've been up to during their work study so far.

Izuku and Mirio joined us as well, having been held back by Nighteye for something. I ended up scooting closer to Momo so that Izuku could squeeze in beside me. "Hey Micah, I've been wondering." Kirishima then turned his attention to me.

"What have you been up to these past few days? I know you can't really do this since you have your license, but you have been doing things, right?" I nodded, I explained how I 'found' a girl who'd been abandoned by her family for having a different quirk, as well as the sentient-ish bear.

"Oh, I've also been making new types of drugs and weapons with Mei." That got a few laughs, but Izuku and Ochaco knew who Mei Hatsume was and were rightly concerned. Our food chose that moment to arrive, and we pivoted to eat, saving me from more talking.

As we ate, I got a string of texts from Sasha, so I chatted with her as we ate. As I did all this, I also thought about what I'd be working on next once I got back to U.A. With the sheer amount of things there for me to make, I had to focus on what really mattered.

For now, I really wanted to update my hero costume, enter the Riot Gear. I'd been thinking of various ways to improve upon it, and with Mei, I'd be able to do so. Of course, I was going for the Elite Riot Gear.

It had better defensive capabilities, as well as being tear and bullet-resistant. Pair that with the built-in IF vision, gas mask/ filtration system, and an antenna for comms, and this suit will be a great upgrade. Not to mention the rule of cool effect!

The only thing I can think of for now is needing to make it flameproof as well, since I use immense amounts of fire, though I could start using water and ice more frequently. I actually got so caught up in thinking about the suit that Momo had to shake me to get my attention.

"What?" I looked up to find everyone staring at me. "I wanted to know if you were planning on killing Overhaul, like you did All For One." A voice said, I turned to see Sir Nighteye staring down at me.

I already don't like this guy because he's a know-it-all, but this is not helping, man! "That depends on how injured the girl is. I don't like people who abuse children." Nighteye huffed.

"That isn't an answer; I might as well take you off the team. You're obviously going to get in the way." He said, turning to leave. "You've seen your death, have you not?" Nighteye froze, as did Izuku and Mirio.

"You aren't the only one who can see. I'm the one who warned Nezu of the coming storm; you think I didn't see this? I don't care what you think, I am going to keep things going the way they're supposed to.

But I don't expect you to understand. You've spent so much time trying to change what you felt was the only outcome that you haven't stopped to consider that it may be what causes it. 

I will be present when we attack. If I get my hands on Overhaul, he'll feel the pain he had inflicted upon Eri tenfold, and if you want to die a martyr, then I won't stop you."

I then got up and left, not wanting to deal with any questions that Momo and the other certainly had. I just wanted to work on my Riot Gear, man!
