Isana
"Hey, Jilan, what exactly does he mean by 'rabbit'?" Ueno tugged at Jilan's clothes, a little scared. "I've killed a lot of rabbits in my experiments before. Is he here for revenge?"
"Why kill a rabbit when they're so cute?" Tsukimi Machi suddenly blurted out.
"..." Nakiri hesitated for a moment before saying, "Rabbits are, after all, a type of food. Even Hisako and I have killed them before."
Tsukimi Machi wore an expression of utter Decay, seemingly never expecting that her companions were all rabbit-killing maniacs.
"But I don't think the 'rabbit' he mentioned is a real rabbit; it's probably a metaphor," Nakiri analyzed. "Since it doesn't mean 'gay,' it must be a metaphor for someone called 'rabbit.' Has any of us ever met someone who uses 'rabbit' as a metaphor?"
"Are you referring to Mirko, the rabbit hero on the leaderboard? I've crossed paths with her before," Ueno hesitantly. "I once crafted cushioning boots for her. Could this person be looking for revenge?"
Nakiri nodded. "Very likely. After all, Mirko is an extremely powerful Pro Hero. He might be looking for someone who has had contact with her, trying to find a weakness in her."
Ueno was almost in tears. "Erina, don't scare me! The last time I met Mirko was two years ago. There's no way I could smell like a rabbit!"
"That's not necessarily true. What if you haven't showered in two years?"
"You shameless woman, don't talk nonsense in front of Jilan! I wash every day!"
"Okay, I admit I saw you taking a shower... There was nothing there, right?"
"What are you saying? Personal attacks are prohibited!" Ueno blushed and wanted to fight Nakiri, completely forgetting about the suspicious man who was closing in on him.
When the whale tail appeared, Jilan had a bad feeling. His eyes were serious, and he didn't join the girls' private discussion. He sensed a similarity between this man and someone else, and he was quite certain that the other person was looking for him...
The man was almost at Jilan's table, and because of his promise, the audience acted as if they were waiting for a leader's inspection, and no one dared to make a move.
Most of the people on the field had received some education and training and knew what to do when the enemy had the upper hand. No one was foolish enough to attack the other party when it was clear that they did not come with malicious intent.
The man, whose face was partially covered by a mask, lingered in front of a table for a long time before finally shaking his head. "No, the smell is already quite strong, but it's not you."
The man approached Jilan and her group's table. "... So, which one of you is it? My nose isn't very good, and this is the limit of my analysis. If no one steps forward, I'll assume you've all been in contact with the rabbit."
Ueno calmed down, stopped arguing with Nakiri, and was certain that the other person had come to ask her for the weakness of "Rabbit Hero Mirko." So she straightened her small body and stood up, mustered her courage, and said loudly, "You don't need to look anymore, I am the person you are looking for! You just want to know the other person's weakness, so just ask me, don't make things difficult for others!"
"Oh, so you're the one who's been in contact with rabbits?" The man turned his gaze to Ueno.
At that moment, Ueno saw himself as a righteous and heroic figure, fearlessly glaring at the other man. "What are you looking at? If you want to kill me, then do it... Ugh, Jilan, you're covering my mouth again! This time I'm a key figure; you can't stop me from speaking!"
Jilan Jiyu covered Ueno's mouth and whispered, "No, it has nothing to do with you. He came to see me."
Jilan tossed Ueno into Ibara Shiozaki's arms and looked at the man opposite her. "If I'm not mistaken, you're looking for the headmaster, right?"
"Director... Hahaha, so you really do know that rabbit!" the man laughed.
"... Eh, isn't the rabbit Mirko?" Ueno blinked in confusion. He had initially thought the other person was looking for him, which would at least allow him to appear cool in front of everyone...
Ueno suddenly became sullen.
After laughing, the man stared intently at Jilan: "Tell me, is that rabbit still running his zoo that never gets any customers?!"
"So what if I am?" Jilan, unsure of the man's intentions towards the headmaster, cautiously asked, "Who are you? Are you his enemy or friend?"
"I forgot to introduce myself. You can call me Isana. As for our relationship..." Isana's lips curled into a slight smile, "We used to be two unrelated rivals, but now, we are mortal enemies."
Mortal enemies!
Even Jilan Jiyu was surprised to hear this term. How could the headmaster, who lived in her own world and entertained herself all day, have a mortal enemy? After the initial surprise, Jilan's heart sank. Since they could be called mortal enemies, then Isana's strength should be about the same as the headmaster's.
Jilan had witnessed the principal's speed and strength; there were few people in the entire world who could rival him, and even Iida's full power was far inferior.
"You should be a rational person, you wouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, would you?" Jilan stared at Isana, forcing herself to calm down. "This matter has nothing to do with anyone else. If you want revenge on the headmaster, I can tell you his location, and I can be your hostage. I won't resist at all."
Isana said coldly, "It seems you're much more pragmatic than that seal, but... this time I won't let that rabbit rescue the person!"
The moment Jilan heard those words, the golden Hamon he had prepared beforehand had already wrapped around his hands, and he blasted them towards Isana's face, unleashing the most powerful Sunlight Yellow Hamon Overdrive!
This is international waters; there are no rules against using Quirk.
Seeing Jilan and Isana make their move, the other passengers quickly ducked down, covered their heads with their hands, and hid under the tables. Even Nakiri and Ueno were pulled in front of him by Ibara Shiozaki using Vines to wrap around their waists, and without hesitation, Ibaraki used Vines to form a sphere that enveloped them.
A golden light, accompanied by a deafening roar, filled the room, turning it a blinding white like a flashbang, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
As the light gradually faded, a daring guest peeked out from under the table. Instead of looking at the food scraps scattered on the floor, he immediately looked towards the spot where the fight had taken place.
He hoped the boy's attack would defeat the intruder, but to his despair, the wet, black-haired man remained standing still, not moving an inch. In front of him, a huge whale tail acted like an indestructible shield, blocking the boy's attack and his figure.
Jilan's face was extremely grim. He had used all his strength in this attack, but it was completely blocked by the opponent's fish tail, causing no damage whatsoever. Jilan had anticipated this situation, but what troubled him was that the opponent was a superhuman, and his Quirk Killer Queen, had no effect on him!
This person is definitely not someone I can handle right now! Jilan was absolutely certain of this.
