Kai surveyed the surroundings. Seems like no one noticed me. Good. I don't want to gather attention.
He left the alleyway and started walking on the side way. The night was cold but he managed to stay warmth by generating heat from the left side.
Now, what should I do? I don't have anything to prove my identity. If the police catch me, I will be in serious trouble.
At the very least, I don't want to enter the scene, especially SHIELD's eyes.
Oh yeah. I forget.
" Tell me how I can gain Gacha." He muttered.
[ The system granted Weekly one pull. And every time, the host managed to influence something, you will gain Gacha.]
" No quest?" Kai asked.
[ The system values the host's freedom.]
[ Gacha can also be found in the world.]
" I see." Kai nodded and let out a sigh. I need to find a place to sleep. Money to feed. Clothes to wear.
I need strength as well. To do that, I need to save people. Follow's Shoto's passion, to increase syn rate. Current, capabilities was too low.
Kai grabbed the space beside him and pulled out a card.
Obvious Disguise Glasses.
He turned the card into items and wore it. Now, let's find somewhere I can be a hero.
Kai walked in the street, he asked people. He was looking for Hell's kitchen. From his knowledge, that neighborhood was a place for street tier people.
He knew Daredevil paroled this part. Kai stared at the red light, stranding.
Eventually, someone pushed him to the side.
" Watch your way, loser."
Kai grabbed his arm and smiled faintly. Guess, I am getting cold feet huh?
He continued passing through the street. The surrounding was slowly turning into a gritty atmosphere. People sitting in front of the house, smoking with their guns hung on their belts.
Kids snatching from others and fighting with each other.
Kai was originally what you would call a nerd. He stayed in his room and practiced his drawing days and nights. He consumed media and news. He saw this type of scene many times from the television.
Fiction or reality.
But seeing closely was something else.
Kai heard someone yelling, pleadin for help. People around him didn't move. They acted as if the voice didn't register as a help from human being.
They were cold. They didn't want to risk their life to the stranger. Life here had taught that.
Fuck it. Kai cursed to himself and ran toward the source.
" Look like we got ourselves a hero." A kid pointed at him and laughed. The rest of his friends followed suit.
Kai ignored the laughter and turned to the alleyway. The call was far away. He had to run for about two minutes to reach.
He saw three people beating up a man. Two grabbed hold, trying not to lose the man. While the other threw a punch.
The punch was never ending. Each landed onto the man's face, chest. Kicked at the nuts.
Kai saw a flash of murderous gazes from the three men. He hesitated. What should I do?
Obviously save him! But what if they carried guns? I don't have the ability to face them.
" What are you looking at? You want some?Get lost." One of the men snorted and spit in his direction.
Kai froze. He feared for his life. He avoided the gaze and was about to turn around.
Then he saw a glance of the injured man, his eyes saying something.
It did something to Kai's heart.
Kai cursed at himself and walked toward the men. He said, " Let..him go."
He stuttered the first word but slowly his mind calmed down. Maybe it was the effect of enhanced reflex. ( It was not enhanced reflex.)
" The Fuck you say? Yo, Adrin. Do you hear the shit he just spilled?" The man in the middle asked. He cracked his hands and approached Kai.
Kai didn't back down and advanced as well.
His eyes went into focus mode, it was like he was memorized by the world. Kai noticed the twitch in the man's right hand.
He titled his head to the left side. The punch passed beside him, narrowly avoiding hitting his face.
There was no luck.
Kai wanted to grab the man's face but the height difference didn't allow it. Instead he managed to choke the man's throat with his right hand.
He used his Quirk Half Cold.
The man gasped for air and fell to the ground. His throat was covered by cold ice.
One down. Two left. The possibility of guns being involved drops. No! It increased.
Kai dashed forward.
" What did you do? Hey Gioe, Get up."
" Shit. A Mutant?"
One of the two men immediately took out their guns and aimed at Kai. Kai extended his left hand and blasted a small fireball.
He knew the output of his flame was low but it was enough for distraction.
He then crouched down to the ground and generated an ice ball and threw it at the men.
Bang! Bang!
Bullets passed through the fireball.
Nice! Kai placed his right hand on the ground and create a field of thin sice to make the ground slippy. The effect was quick.
The men dodged the fireball and slipped across to the side. Kai melted the ice around him, dashed forward and landed a devastating kick to one of the men's faces.
Two down. He counted.
He quickly beat the remaining one. After defeating the foes, he walked to the injured man.
" Are you okay?"
The man's face was stunned. He smiled faintly and opened his mouth. Suddenly, he caught a glance to Kai's back and shouted.
" Behind you, young man."
Kai turned around.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ah! The shot was fired from the first man he defeated. The man emptied his gun, laughing.
If I dodge to the side, bullets would enter into my shoulder. Can I block the bullets with my ice? Or melt.
No. Not strong enough. Otherwise, the ice from that man's throat wouldn't melt so fast. I used Soul Flicker.
It is entering cool down mode.
Think! Ah, I have a slime body. But it is in my system. I have to activate it.
Trains of thought spread through his mind. Before he could finish his thought, Kai's hands were grabbing the card.
As he was about to command to activate it.
A manhole cover blocked his vision and shielded all the bullets. Kai activated the card and was dumbfounded by the sudden change in event.
He then heard the sound of viciously beating.
The manhole cover collided with the wall.
He looked at the man and found that he was dropped to the ground, face covered with blood. In that man's place, he saw a strange man covered in shadow.
The man slowly stepped forward, resting his weapon on the shoulder. He titled his head and faced the surroundings. Around that time, moonlight fell into the alleyway.
Clad with deep crimson from head to toe, the new comer was like a living silhouette of menace. A mask of the same red hue color covered the upper layer of his face. Two small horns emerged from his brow.
He placed his billy club beside the thighs.
Kai was stunned. He didn't expect to meet with him this early. He just arrived at this place a few hours ago.
The man sensed Kai's heartbeat and was puzzled.
" Do you know me?" He asked.
" Of course, everyone knew you. You are Daredevil, the devil's of Hell's kitchen. Right?" Kai glanced at the injured man for confirmation.
The injured man was confused and admitted. " I don't know him."
" Huh?" Kai exclaimed. Ah, so it is like that. fuck my life.
Daredevil climbed the nearby stairs with a fast speed. He moved in the acrobatics movement. It was fluid. Each action perfectly transferred into another.
Before he could reach the top, he looked down and said, " Come here. I have questions."
Kai sighed.
