Title: Underhanded...
….
After All Might's retirement, the whole world paid attention to the strongest Hero taking off his mantle. Surprisingly there were no haters on this, nor were there any unjust insults. Even the sketchy news reporters didn't do any fake news reports on this. All Might's influence was just that big, he is the man everyone grew up watching as the Hero… a couple of generations grew up as he was the Number One Hero.
As this was all happening, at the same time, countless more new rising stars shone ever brighter in the Hero industry.
The Hero who never gives up, Deku, with the Nighteye Agency, he is someone who has had some spotlight put on him due to his involvement in the Hero Killer incident, which also attracted people to see what he is up to due to being recognized by the Hero Killer.
But even with all that, Deku is still only the least popular amongst the new rookie Heroes.
There were many others like the Unbreakable Hero, Adamant, someone, who is under Fat Gum's tutelage and has still made a name for himself as one of the top rookies. Though his Quirk isn't flashy, his fight with a sword-generating villain had put him in the spotlight since there is even a video of it.
But of course, these two were nothing in popularity in comparison to Shoto, the Hero who is studying under Endeavor and has even been confirmed to be his son. There are predictions that he will grow to become even stronger than his father.
The Best Geanist Agency has been relatively quiet, of course until Explosion Hero: King Explosion got involved. With his violent instinct of solving the trouble, he expertly took over by showing his strength, and now Best Jeanist's sidekicks have all recognized him as strong enough to follow him and have him try to fill Best Jeanist's shoes while he is away.
Lemillion also has done some amazing work and has shown his power and skills to be atop many pro heroes and people were speculating when he will create his own Hero Agency.
But even amongst them, there was one who shined the brightest. The Flash Hero, like the others, he also was new to the Hero scene and a student to boot. But his accomplishments were the highest, he even helped All Might fight against All For One. Some even say that All Might himself chose him as his successor, though no confirmation has been officially made from the man himself.
…
At this time in the outskirts of Tokyo, some thugs were robbing a convenience store when…
"Old man! Give us all your-"
FWOSH!
Suddenly, the next thing that happens is that they are all tied up and knocked out. A business card with the Flash symbol on it being neatly left on the ground is the only key to what happened.
In an instant, everything was over and even the old shopkeeper didn't see what happened.
...
Kaminari who was at his top speed looked at the world around him which had slowed down and even seemed to have lost its color. He walks around, a little annoyed at what is happening. Today he has only been able to solve 58 cases of people in need and needed some more so he ran all over to Tokyo.
He is simply too fast and handles things too easily, so there aren't enough criminals to go around. Though he is still doing good, crime rates drop once the villains know a Hero like Kaminari is around. They aren't stupid enough to try and test their luck.
Though most villains are hot-headed, the successful ones are usually calm and never fight any heroes.
…
Half an hour later and in an undisclosed location underground, a yakuza boss looks at the young man in front of him.
"S -Sir Kaminari, why do I have the pleasure of m -meeting you?" Asks the Yakuza boss, his usually slicked back hair looks disheveled. 'This little shit! I gave him all of my rival gangs’ information and he wants more?!! He has been as an intern Hero for less than a week and he already took out all of the local gangs that I know of.'
Kaminari sighs. "Listen here Bob."
'My name is not Bob!! Have you ever heard of a Japanese man with such a name?! At least act as you remember it, you bastard!!' Yells the man internally, but on the outside, he only has a sincere smile on his face.
"Anyway, Bob, do you have any more information in any gang? I took out the ones on Tokyo too." Says Kaminari, taking out a bottle of some strange juice.
"Uhh… let me think about it some more." Says the Yakuza Boss. 'Shit!! I don't know any other gang around here, but if I say that, I am sure that this guy will take me to the police immediately. Since All Might is gone I thought that I could finally at least let my business see the light of day, but a monster like this had to come along.'
"Of course my lovely subject." Says Kaminari smirking at the man and walking away.
The Yakuza Boss feels a sense of relief once he hears that. 'At least I have some time now. Maybe I should just run away?'
"Think about it long and hard while in prison."
*Bzzzzzt*
Electricity dances through the Yakuza's body, knocking him out instantly.
'Sheesh, talk about useless. He only gave me ten gangs around the city. The last guy gave me twenty.' Complains Kaminari. 'Anyway, I should go and find another Yakuza Boss to get information out of. This way is more effective, scumbags know each other so this is at least useful.'
Kaminari also left a small unnoticeable amount of electricity at the Yakuza's heart. This energy will wear out the man's heart and he will have a heart attack while in jail.
The last thing Kaminari wants is to let his enemies live and gather together, so it's better to kill them off like this, especially the ones who seem like the dangerous scheming type and know some things about him that are better-kept secret.
In the end, though, Kaminari keeps the whole thing under wraps as he goes towards the other gang members outside and knocks them out.
After that, he calls the emergency number, leaves his card behind, and lets the police handle the rest.
But Kaminari sighs as he blitzes outside looking at the world around him that it can’t keep up with him any longer.
‘I should go back.’ He thinks and by using the satellite image, he figures the best route to use and determines a signal.
Fwish!
In an instant, his body shines brightly and the next second he is on top of Mirko’s Hero Agency. He is surrounded by a body armor of iron sand that melts off him due to the high heat. ‘Friction is annoying, and my fleshy body keeps me from gouging as fast as I can.’
He pulls out his phone and sees that three seconds had passed. ‘Good, but not good enough. Lightning is sound 100,000 km/s… I am not even 2% of that speed. A man is only as great as his ambition, so mine must be great too. I must never be satisfied with what I have, only then can someone improve.’
Kaminari sighs, wishing to one day at least reach the Speed of Lightning. By then, he knows that he will truly be the strongest Hero… no, by then he will become the strongest Quirk user to exist.
As he thinks that he goes off the roof top. ‘Well, I better go and try some special edition ice cream that Mirko bought. I wanna be strong, but I also want to enjoy this life of mine.’
