Shoto Todoroki felt that Chiffon was sometimes far too unserious. He could clearly make a living on his strength alone, so what was wrong with acting a little colder?
But Shoto Todoroki truly did not like talking. Or rather, he did not like talking to people he was unfamiliar with.
"Please get All Might to come out already. He should be inside, right?" the female reporter pressed aggressively.
"I told you, he isn't working today." Present Mic was speechless.
Then the reporter said, "As long as he comes out and says something, we'll leave."
Shota Aizawa raised a hand to stop them. "People like you will want a second sentence once you get the first."
Present Mic suddenly leaned close to Shota Aizawa's ear and said, "This is illegal trespassing. They're practically enemies already. Can I send them flying?"
"Don't do that, Mic." Shota Aizawa said with one eye half-open. "If you do, they'll definitely embellish the story in their reports. Let's wait for the police."
Shota Aizawa and Present Mic could only handle the reporters at the entrance. After all, they were civilians, and they could not just do whatever they wanted to them.
After Tenya Iida calmed the panicked students, the police arrived in time and dispersed the reporters and civilians.
At the school gate, after the crowd had dispersed.
"How could ordinary media reporters possibly pull off something like this?" The principal stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the ruins of the Hero Barrier. "Someone must be egging them on. Either evil people have infiltrated their ranks, or someone intends to declare war on us."
Midnight and the others fell silent. They too felt that someone had ordered this, or that it was the work of evil people.
Chiffon knew that a storm was about to arrive. The League of Villains had come.
With that in mind, after school, he decided to earn some extra cash just to be safe.
Dressed in a black cloak, Chiffon glided between buildings, sweeping his gaze over the city's corners and the blind spots of surveillance cameras.
"If you know what's good for you, hand over the money. Otherwise, you know what'll happen." In an alley, a red-haired young man held a knife to a bespectacled man's throat and snarled.
"What you're doing is wrong. Misusing your Quirk on ordinary people will get you wanted by the heroes." Although the bespectacled man was nervous, he did not stammer much, and even seemed to hold the upper hand.
"Heroes?" The red-haired young man muttered, then laughed. "Don't be stupid. You expect them to save you? By the time I get the money, I'll already be gone. Who could catch me?"
"I can." A voice came from above as a black shadow suddenly descended from the sky.
"Who are you?" the red-haired young man asked warily. The other person was dressed entirely in black, and even the outline of his face could not be seen. His disguise was excellent.
"Who am I?" Chiffon actually thought seriously for a moment before saying, "I am Legend of the Night. I operate in the darkness, and I exist to deal with people like you."
"You're sick in the head!" the red-haired young man roared. He kicked the bespectacled man away and lunged at Chiffon.
His Quirk doubled his body's strength before concentrating it in a specific part of his body. In other words, the force behind one punch could equal that of two, or even three, grown men combined.
Facing the incoming punch, Chiffon did not move at all. The red-haired man suddenly shattered all the teeth in his mouth and was sent flying several meters away.
"Had enough?" Chiffon walked over to the red-haired man and asked.
"Wh-what did you do?" The red-haired man stared at Chiffon in terror. He had been charging just fine, but it was as if he had crashed into a car and been knocked flying.
What was terrifying was that he had not even seen this guy make a move.
"I asked you a question. Had enough or not?" Chiffon slapped the red-haired young man across the face, knocking out his last tooth.
"Ugh..." The red-haired young man cried in pain. He had never been beaten like this in his life. It was unbearably humiliating.
The bespectacled man beside them had not run away. Instead, he stood there dumbfounded. This Legend of the Night was too powerful. He had not even seen how the man attacked before the red-haired young man was already lying on the ground, vomiting blood.
"I'll ask you one more time. Had enough?" Chiffon stood up.
"Yes... yes. I've had enough." The red-haired young man burst into painful tears, crying like a child.
Salvation Points +50 obtained. Person saved: Murata Yuan.
When Chiffon saw the message, he turned to the bespectacled man. "Call the police and hand him over to them." With that, he shot into the sky like Superman in a black robe.
"So cool," the bespectacled man said admiringly.
Similar incidents continued happening. That night alone, Chiffon earned a full 700 Salvation Points. At the same time, the name Legend of the Night spread among the public. Before long, all the Professional Heroes knew of such a person. He operated exclusively at night, dealt specifically with street thugs and Quirk users who abused their powers, was extremely strong, and wore a black cloak.
Although Legend of the Night was praised by the public, he was seen as beneath notice by the Professional Heroes. Since Legend of the Night was not a Professional Hero, he had to hide his identity and refused to reveal who he was.
Hero agencies had to deal with people like that. No matter how the public viewed Legend of the Night, or how many people he had helped, as long as he did not have a hero license, he had to be taken away for investigation.
After returning home, Chiffon took a hot shower as usual, ordered takeout, and only then began the lottery draw.
System item obtained—Qi Cultivation Pill System item obtained—Heart Chocolate
Chiffon was in a pretty good mood when he saw the first item, but the second gave him a headache. Heart Chocolate? Was this system store running a snack shop?
Chiffon really wanted to ask the system why its rewards were either food or everyday necessities. It even had a Black Dress for women. What the hell was going on?
I'll give the Heart Chocolate to Sister Sakura. Chiffon planned to give it to Inoue Sakura, who usually took care of him.
Next, Chiffon swallowed the Qi Cultivation Pill and began meditating. Even without Qi Cultivation Pills, he cultivated on the rooftop every day. The results were average, but something was better than nothing. The most important thing in anything was persistence. Only persistence brought rewards.
The Qi Cultivation Pill was also extremely potent, forming a stream of heat within Chiffon's body that surged through his limbs and bones.
The next morning, Chiffon opened his eyes. His cultivation had reached the Qi Cultivation Second Layer.
Then Chiffon bought a Quirk Enhancement Pill from the store and raised Thunder God's Arrival to LV3.
Thunder God's Arrival LV3/100/300 Air Manipulation LV3/150/300 Spatial Storage: Black Dress, Quirk Replenisher, Heart Chocolate, Yellow Man Toothpaste.
Because Chiffon had used Air Manipulation rather frequently recently, it had gained some experience.
With everything prepared, Chiffon felt confident about facing the League of Villains' attack. Perhaps he could even help All Might through his difficult period.
