I have become stronger, but also shorter [comprehensive]

On the same day that all members of the enemy alliance were arrested, Stein, the hero killer, was also arrested and brought to justice.

However, compared with the former, his advanced place is the hospital.

The hero killer is good at assassination, and his ability to face-to-face confrontation is indeed not strong.However, when the police arrived after the incident and dug Stein out of the rubble at the scene, everyone was stunned.

Stein is still alive, there is no doubt about that.

Although it seemed that he had smashed through countless walls and destroyed layers of public property before he was able to land, the human body would literally fall apart even if he did not die on the spot after undergoing such an astonishing impact.

But the result was not as tragic as expected—or it should be said that Stein was not injured too badly unexpectedly.

The moment he flew out, he should have fainted immediately.

It wasn't actually Stein's back that blasted the solid wall through, but... a mysterious airflow that came from nowhere.

According to the remnants of the scene, it is entirely possible to draw this surprising conclusion.

Stein did not receive the most direct bombardment, he just lost consciousness in the initial impact of the airflow.When I went to the hospital for examination, except for some skin trauma, there was nothing serious.

As for Stein's dull eyes after waking up, he seems to have suffered the sequelae of a rather heavy psychological shock - that said, the police have not yet investigated the truth yet.

Speaking of which, there were three people who were attacked by the hero killer this time.

One is a professional hero who failed to rescue the first hostage, and the other two are students of Xiongying High School, only half-grown boys.

At the beginning, when the police heard that the students were attacked by Stein first and had a conflict with Stein, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

This is not only a violation of the rules not to use personality without authorization, but also puts oneself in danger and must be taught severely.

Forget about education first.

What the police want to ask is who is the mysterious person who knocked down the hero killer with the punch—according to the investigation, Stein was really blown away by the wind of the punch.

If he was a professional hero, he would definitely stay at the scene to cooperate with the follow-up investigation, and he would not disappear without leaving any information.

However, if the other party is not a professional hero, who is it?

The police are eager to know the whole story, so they hope that the teenagers of Xiongying High School can give key clues.

"It's very ordinary, very common, like just passing by that alley."

"We don't know each other, but it seems that he is a hero out of interest."

——In the end, all the answers I got were confusing!

The teenagers bit their tongues, and no matter how they asked, they said that they didn't see any obvious characteristics in that hero.

There are various reasons, the light is too dark, the mood is too tense, the incident is resolved too quickly and I don't react, etc.All in all, just refuse to cooperate.

They made it clear that they had something to hide. After all, they were still young and not good at lying.

But the insiders don't tell, and the police can't force them to ask, they can only shift the target.

Unexpectedly, however, strange things appeared like this.

The hero who was at the scene at the time and should have seen the whole process of the incident received treatment, and when he was questioned by the police, he looked dazed.

"I remember Stein, and those children... Hey, was there anyone else there?"

The hero hugged his head and tried hard to think about it, but he couldn't remember it. Only some unknown words popped out sporadically: "It's so bright...no, so light...eh? Strange..."

He doesn't even know what "good light" and "good light" are, let alone others.

So far, two clues have been broken. Stein, who is still awake, cannot provide clues for the time being. The police were forced to help, and then extracted the surveillance video diagonally facing the entrance of the dark alley.

Extraction and monitoring should have been placed at the very beginning, but the predicament we faced this time was special, so it was special here.

During the time period of the incident, the surveillance video became inexplicably intermittent, and the picture was even blurred, which was not useful at all.

The police did not give up, and opened the video frame by frame, but the result was the same.

It's so weird.

Could it have something to do with the personality that the unknown hero possessed?

No matter how you guess at this time, the truth you want to seek can only be put on hold for the time being, and there is no way to be unwilling.

At this time, the investigators have not connected the mysterious disappearance of the surveillance video with the street robbery that happened in another city a long time ago.

What these two incidents have in common is that the surveillance videos at the scene of the incident coincided with each other, and all of them disappeared the most critical part.

As long as the commonalities are connected together, it is easy to detect some differences.

However, that was a long time later.

Time goes back to the present, which has not yet reached such a distant time.

Tenya Iida was injured, so he ended his internship in the workplace early and lay down in the hospital for a few days

Logically speaking, a wounded man like him who escaped from the threat of a terrible enemy should receive warm care like the sun shining on the earth.

Ah, warmth probably only exists in dreams.

The reality is quite the opposite of the dream.

The poor and unfortunate Iida-kun, along with his troubled brother Lugu-kun, was severely criticized by the police uncle and the school leaders. Although he just scared them, he was not blamed in the end, but the psychological pressure was there.

The point is, it's not over yet.

Before Iida-kun and Lugu-kun could wait for the kind care from their classmates, the top of their heads was suppressed by an iron fist, countless gold stars popped out in front of them, and they were almost thrown under the bed.

"Ouch!"

"Ah! It hurts!"

"Do you still know how to cry out for pain? Isn't it very brave to fight one-on-one with the enemy. What to be afraid of, what to hide, sit up straight for me, and stand upright for me standing!"

The supreme and unshakable absolute overlord, both in terms of deterrence and status, finally came in frost.

He couldn't help saying, first hammered the three disobedient little ghosts, let them have a long memory——

"...Eh, eh? Why did Mr. Hong get hammered along with us?"

"Uh, I don't know either."

Hong Jiaodong, who was hammered, was also very confused, not knowing why he provoked the teacher by standing aside properly.

Moreover, he still doesn't know how Eric hit his head.Could it be, jump--

"Humph!"

The big brother's disdainful snort shattered the imagination of the ignorant teenagers, and made them deeply realize that it is impossible for the big brother to do such a shameless thing as jumping up and hitting someone on the head.

Definitely, there is another way!

——It's quite interesting.

How could Eric not be able to guess what was going on in the minds of the little brats, and seeing that their expressions changed temporarily, showing awe, he didn't bother to learn about them anymore.

"Do you think that you can get carried away because you have made great progress now than before? Especially you, the square-framed glasses guy, if you want revenge, you have to recognize your own level."

"And you, green boy, who gave you the courage to go up and single out? If you hadn't sent that message, are you still afraid that you won't die fast enough?"

He folded his hands and trained the two younger brothers so that they couldn't lift their heads, so they could only bow their heads and accept the blow with shame on their faces.

You can't show any dissatisfaction, because once you show the slightest bit, the end will definitely not be good...

Ok?

and many more?

The reprimanded parties suddenly reacted, and they heard a clear name for themselves from Brother Eric.

Eric had a habit that was by no means good.

He can hardly call people by their first names (that's the treatment that Saitama can only enjoy), and he should be happy to get a "you" and "that who" with a not bad attitude.

Surrounded by enthusiastic girls, when he was too annoyed, he would just yell "boring women!" fiercely.This is true for women who are favored, not to mention boys who are automatically downgraded.

Once upon a time, Brother Eric's younger brothers gathered together and thought about when they would be officially recognized by the elder brother, at least they would have a name in the elder brother's mouth...

Etc., etc.

Now, the dream has come true?

Before it was too late, Lugu Deku and the two were ecstatic, and when cold water was poured, it fell in an uproar, dousing their heads.

The one who poured this cold water happened to be their trusted partner, Mr. Hong whose name was not pronounced just now!

"A guy with square glasses? A green kid? Oh, I see, I'm talking about rice—ah!"

Bang Jiaodong represented Sudden's words before he was struck on the forehead at a speed that could not capture the movement at all.

Words that should not be said disappear automatically.

Mr. Hong covered his forehead that seemed to be smoking, and fell into contemplation of what he did wrong.

However, apart from being a little blunt and almost directly revealing the truth that the teacher is a super famous waste, he is actually not wrong.

With this beating, the unreasonable teacher took away all the previous mistakes that were just conditioned reflexes to hammer the honest apprentice and the kid together.

As for the reason why he doesn't like to call people by names, is it because he has been giving nicknames to little ghosts in his heart...

Hmm, no comment.

It is impossible to explain, and it is absolutely impossible to apologize.

"Let's talk first."

The topic was forcibly pulled back like this.

Eric didn't look around, just raised his foot, and sat on the highest chair next to the hospital bed.

He ignored the ups and downs in the hearts of the little devils at the moment, and directly asked his own question: "What do you gain from seeing that hero killer?"

"reward……"

Iida Tenya got stuck first.

Hearing those four words, the young man subconsciously tightened his hand on the hospital bed, his five fingers sank deep into the soft mattress, and his expression was also stained with a haze that could not dissipate for the time being.

"Recognized the huge gap between me and Stein, and also, being impulsive, dragged my companions into trouble—"

"Boom!"

He got knocked again.

"I didn't ask you to say this!"

"...Wait, what are you going to say?"

Big brother's mind is always so difficult to fathom.

Iida Tenya really couldn't figure it out, so he had to look at Izuku Midoriya who was keen to observe for help.

Lvgu Chujiu's secret path was not good, and he didn't notice anything else. He only vaguely felt that something unexpected happened to him, and in a hurry, he turned his eyes to the wise and reliable Hong Jiaodong who continued to ask for help after being asked for help.

The reliable Mr. Hong was really confused, and expressed with calm eyes that he didn't know what the correct answer was.

Unsurprisingly, the entire army was wiped out.

"I'm so stupid that I'm almost speechless."

As usual, after expressing his dislike for them, Eric said bluntly: "Facing an enemy who is almost threatening your life, you don't have any experience? I don't want to listen to those who blame themselves for not doing it well. There is no problem." , Just say, what do you think, what do you understand?"

Because they have so many shortcomings that it is troublesome to talk about, so they simply skipped the "loss" and entered the topic of "gain"...?

Very Eric.

After the teenagers reacted, they fell into silence.

This question is mainly aimed at Tenya Iida and Izuku Midoriya. Tomo Kokoro only stayed there for a short time, so he may not have realized this kind of thing.

The ward was quiet for a while, and they took a long time to think, but Eric was not in a hurry.

He and his stupid apprentice stared at the time with a straight face, and then heard two voices almost at the same time:

"Hero Killer—"

"Olmet—"

Two very different names collide first.

It was Tenya Iida who mentioned the hero killer, but Izuku Midoriya blurted out the name of the No.1 hero.When the two bumped into each other, they couldn't help being dazed, and then showed a little embarrassment.

"you first."

Eric ordered one person first.

"……Um."

Iida Tenya let out a breath first.

Although it was Eric who asked him at this time, rather than the police and teachers who had met several times before, his nervousness at the moment was obviously several times higher than before.

Usually everyone chatted and laughed together, Eric's attitude seemed to be the same as now, but the situation was different after all.

The boy's gaze seemed calm, but the face of the person being watched was faintly reflected in the golden pupils, which immediately made people feel extremely serious.

They will not be afraid of him, but they will deeply feel that what they are facing is not a classmate, but an elder who is indeed more mature and much older than them.

On the other hand, even if it is very strict, it will bring a calmness that calms people's hearts.

This feeling... I can't tell if it's an illusion or not.

"Stein has ruined the lives of many heroes, including my brother. His crimes cannot be washed away! My hatred for him will not change, but calm down, I have to admit...that guy's statement, Part of it seems to be true."

"Heroes, why do we exist, and what are we who have come this far with the belief of becoming heroes..."

Iida Tenya has not been able to figure this out.

"Ol Might—I'm sorry, I remembered what Mr. Saitama said at that time..."

And Midoriya Izuku seemed even more tangled than the monitor.

"Not everyone can become a hero like Olmert——what does this sentence mean? To become Olmert, strength is crucial, but I think it's more than that. I should have realized, yes, because Olmert is our spiritual pillar, he worked too hard, we simply..."

Incoherent.

Izuku Midoriya probably tried his best to express the complete meaning, but he didn't think it through himself, and the influence of fear that he hadn't noticed made his mind a mess.

Iida Tenya and Midoriya Izuku seem to be entangled with two things behind the two people, but the root of it can be traced. In fact, the essence is almost the same, and they are all closely related to the existence of "hero" - or "profession". .

The ward became quiet again. While the two teenagers were thinking, the other two did not interrupt them.

Eric just listened.

He didn't intend to comment on their "harvest" at first, that was not his task, and it was more appropriate for someone else to comment than him.

However, when Hong Jiaodong opened his mouth and said something after a while, Eric responded after a long time.

"Personally, I think Saitama-san is very similar to Olmert."

Hong Jiaodong said so firmly.

If other people heard this and found that he was comparing an unknown "passer-by" with Olmert, they would think him crazy.

The other two brats, who nodded one after another as if awakened, probably went crazy too.

"We may not be able to understand All Might, but Mr. Saitama certainly can. Because, like All Might, he is—"

A hero born to be a "hero".

"So, there are generally only two outcomes for such a person."

"Huh? Eric?"

Eric interjected at this moment, with a cold tone: "One is exhausted, and the other is pissed off. Why are you looking at me so surprised? Am I wrong? The truth is as simple as that."

These words were so sharp that the teenagers were dumbfounded for a while, and they dared not tell for a moment, who were the exhausted and angry ones——

"Well, then what?"

"No, you all know what you have done to yourself."

Eric's sharp eyes swept over again, causing the hearts of the little ghosts headed by Izuku Midoriya to jump suddenly, and cold sweat was faintly oozing out.

--not good!

——No way, could it be that Eric found out...

——Mr. Saitama said that he betrayed us because he was too happy? !

The three little ghosts all shut up, their eyes wandering.

Eric: "Huh?"

The little ghosts couldn't help but really started to break out in a cold sweat.

Eric's eyes became more serious: "Oh?"

At this point, the brats were so obvious that Eric would be an idiot if he hadn't found out that they were up to something.

"Heh, let's continue pretending. You are really brave enough."

He actually didn't know anything beforehand, but he just wanted to take advantage of this situation, pretending that he knew everything, and oppressed the poor boy with cold eyes and sneers:

"I originally planned to give you a chance to confess and be lenient, but if you don't want it yourself, there is nothing you can do."

Every time he said a word, the expressions of the teenagers who were shrouded in ominous premonition changed.

The temperature plummeted.

The demon king's eyes seemed to turn into an unfathomable vortex, trying to swallow them who made painful choices just to survive!

At the moment Eric said the next paragraph: "Don't think I don't know, no, Saitama—"

"Don't care about Mr. Lugu! He only forced himself for us..."

"Don't worry, Green Valley, since you have sacrificed for us, now we have to bear the responsibility together."

"Woooooh! Iida-kun, Hong-kun, you--"

Eric who suddenly witnessed the sincere friendship of the teenagers who never gave up and never gave up: "???"

Let's put aside the villain script, anyway, he has always played this kind of role.

The point is.

In fact, he just tentatively mentioned the name of his friend, and the disturbance caused was huge, completely unexpected!

Here, the friendship was sublimated to another height in an instant, and the three little ghosts acted resolutely and bravely in the face of all difficulties and obstacles:

"Mr. Saitama is more handsome than you, Eric. This sentence is indeed what we struggled to say under the circumstances that no matter how we choose, we are asking for our own death!"

Eric: "...???"

"Sorry, because it's really too difficult to judge!"

"As far as appearance is concerned, both of the candidates are not very handsome..."

"Wow, Mr. Hong, what are you talking about? Hahaha, Mr. Hong didn't say anything just now!"

"..."

"Eric, you must believe that if you want to compete with Mr. Saitama one day, all of us in Class A will stand by your side—"

Eric: "..."

It was so sudden.

Brother Eric's face was completely shattered.

He remembered a lot.

For example, that night, Saitama’s good friend who brought Hong Jiao Dong back was surprisingly happy, and looked at him from time to time with “ah, I’m so happy, but Eric can’t be too obvious or it will make him sad”.

Ask him what's the matter, don't say anything, then continue to look at him with strange eyes, self-consciously happy...

original.

"It's because of you three little ghosts!!!"

boom!

The earth was shaken by the violent fists falling on the heads of three innocent teenagers at this moment, and the earth shook.

Snapped!

This is also the sound of someone's palm being pressed heavily on the head of some untouchable big man.

"E-li-k!"

Hair and bandages are flying together, facial expressions are completely covered by black shadows, and the devil teacher Mr. Aizawa in an angry state appears!

As expected, he was able to move his hand, and he slapped down the raised hair on the silver-haired boy's head, and rotated his palm while gnashing his teeth.

"You kid is no better than them! Now, the whole world knows that you repaired two-thirds of the brains alone, and stole all of Andeva's limelight!"

There was also an extra shadow in Eric's eyes: "Tsk."

He must have known about Aizawa Shouta—there was another person who waited outside the door for a long time and listened to their words.

At this moment, he felt uncomfortable and let Aizawa-sensei mess up his softest silver hair, probably because he knew that he had caused trouble to many people, but he couldn't face himself, so he could only keep a dark face and not speak.

Aizawa Shouta also achieved (physically) the terrifying achievement of teaching the strongest man to nothing.

"Stinky boy, hide it for me after listening to the education later, don't be found by the group of media outside!"

"The group of guys who are so weak that I can't even look down on them, how could they find me!"

"Yeah, I'm weaker than you too, but I still caught you now!"

"……cut."

The feng shui took turns, the domineering elder brother Eric had just finished hammering the younger brother, but was suppressed by the head teacher who took advantage of it, and he could only feel aggrieved in his heart.

It was very noisy inside.

The door of the ward kept making noises, so the man who had been standing behind the door for an unknown amount of time couldn't ignore any words.

Olmert came with Aizawa Shouta.

He didn't intend to go in at all, he just wanted to wait a little longer and talk to Izuku Midoriya directly in another place.But I didn't expect that I would hear exactly that...

"..."

——Speaking of which, is it really 'just right'?

The man's drooping withered fingers twitched slightly, thinking that he would pull a dry, wry smile on his face, but in fact, it wasn't that ugly.

"Forgot to tell you guys, I'm still not going to be a 'hero'."

Eric didn't seem to notice the person outside the door, he just said his own confirmed decision.

"There are so many rules and regulations, and there are so many troubles, it is not suitable for me at all."

"but."

The boy smiled slightly.

"While the interest is still alive, I might try—mind my own business."

The author has something to say: the information currently unlocked

Name: Eric (???)

age:? ? ?

It seems that I have been a king, had a mysterious female subordinate, accepted apprentices, lived for a long time, and lost important people

[The level of naming is quite, very, very, very bad - so bad that it is horrible]
