Multiverse: Our Abilities Are Normal! Chapter 114 The Villains! (Patreon)

Unforeseen Simulation Joint, aka, USJ. 

It is a training facility located in the U.A. University, and its purpose is to train Hero students for disaster rescue.

The profession of a hero wasn't just to make one fight the villains, but also to rescue people during a crisis or a disaster. 

No, in many cases, helping people was far more important than defeating the villains, but even so, it didn't mean that rescuing people was easy, as there were many things that the hero needed to watch out for, or else, instead of rescuing the victims, they would hurt them more instead. 

Still, whether it was villains, disasters, run amok superpowers, discrimination due to their abilities, and many others, Sato had to say that living in this world, one needed an extra effort and courage, or else, it was simply impossible. 

This was also the reason why, when Sato thought about what the villains were about to do, he felt like... it wasn't a bad idea. 

This world... how he had to say it, was like a building, and this building was broken, especially when the Quirk emerged. Still, instead of building it again from zero, it just mended or fixed the broken parts, focusing on the majority, ignoring the minority. 

Yes, this method worked, but at what cost? 

Despite everything appearing to be peaceful and comfortable, Sato knew that there was a lot of unseen pain and sadness that was used as a sacrifice for everything. 

Still, Sato was more or less someone who wasn't affected, nor was he part of someone who was sacrificed, yet he knew everything, and he knew the pain was, and everything, yet, he did nothing, as it didn't affect his life. 

Was it wrong of him? 

Probably, but even if he had become so strong, it didn't mean that he was omnipotent, and to create a world where everyone could smile, without anyone being hurt... was just simply impossible. 

Still—

"By the way, can I call you Sato, Suzuki-kun?" 

"Sure." 

Receiving his permission, Tsuyu Asui smiled. "You can also call me Tsuyu-chan." 

"Okay, Tsuyu-chan." 

"Still, can I ask you something?" 

"Yes?" 

"Why did you wear a dog mask?" 

"......" Sato. 

As everyone was on the bus on their way to the USJ, they talked to each other and, naturally, they wanted to talk to Sato, who was the strongest, the class representative, and one with a quality simply above them. 

Yup, they had thought of him better than them, and this was also the reason why they asked why he wore such a dog mask. 

"Yes, yes!" Mina Ashido nodded. "You are so handsome, after all." 

"It will be easier for you to become popular without that mask, or if you want to wear a mask, you should choose one that doesn't hide your face." 

Strong and good-looking. 

Those were the keys to becoming a popular hero. 

Cruel, but that was the reality, and to be the best hero, it was necessary to be popular, so they didn't understand why Sato wanted to wear a mask despite his good-looking face. 

If he were ugly or had a mutant-type of power that made his face hideous, they would understand, but he was fine. 

"Hmm..." Sato thought for a while and said, "Because I don't want to rely on it." 

"......" Everyone. 

"...isn't it such a shame?" 

"Well, it's fine since I am not seeking to become the strongest hero." 

"......" Everyone. 

"R-Really?" 

"Yup." Sato nodded. "I chose to be a hero because this is the profession that can grant me the best future, after all." 

"........" 

"Unexpected?" 

"N-No! That's rational!" 

"You are right. In this type of economy, being a hero is the fastest way to make money." 

"Well... the truth is I am the same." 

Everyone wanted to be seen as cool, so they made their reason to become a hero because they wanted to save people, yet as they had such a conversation, it stunned Midoriya, never expecting that many had a different purpose than him to become a hero, since for him, being a hero, was his everything, and he would do anything to become one. 

'Which is why I have to master this ability as my own.' 

Yet, Uraraka, who heard Sato's words, smiled, as she knew that there was a far deeper reason why he wore such a mask. 

Regardless, soon, they arrived at the USJ, and were welcomed by—

"Hello, my name is Thirteen! Nice to meet you all!" 

"It's Thirteen, the Space Hero!" 

"I have always loved the Thirteen!" 

"Really?" Sato looked at Uraraka with doubt. 

"Yes!" Uraraka nodded, but then she realized something, and quickly said, "But, I love you more!" 

"..........." Sato. 

"..........." Everyone. 

"Ahem!" Thirteen coughed shyly and awkwardly as she looked at Uraraka enviously. "Anyway, let me explain about this place!" 

Floods, wrecks, landslides, fires, and all other types of disasters existed in this place, which enabled them to train in all types of environments, so that when the real situation happened, they wouldn't be confused or panicked, and be able to fully save those who were in need. 

Still, at this moment, everyone was in a crisis as they had just experienced a broken love. 

Yup, with this, it was confirmed that Sato and Uraraka were dating. 

"Sensei, can I rest? My heart is hurting!" 

"..........." Aizawa took a deep breath, feeling exhausted. "No." 

"........." 

How cruel! 

Yet, Thirteen continued to explain about her experience, including her Quirk. "You all should have known my Quirk, right?" 

"Yes!" Midoriya, who had the knowledge of most heroes, quickly nodded. "It's the Blackhole, right? It's a powerful Quirk!" 

"It is, but it is also a dangerous Quirk since if I let my guard down, I might rip or kill someone." 

"..........." Everyone. 

They were all at a loss, feeling completely overwhelmed, never expecting such an answer from Thirteen, yet they also couldn't deny it since her Quirk was really that dangerous. 

"But, you have saved a lot of people, Thirteen," Sato said. 

Thirteen, under her hero costume that had the shape of a spacesuit, smiled softly and said, "Thank you, and that's why we're here, since I want to show all of you that your Quirk doesn't exist just to defeat the villains, but also to save people who are in need of help." 

"Thirteen-sensei!" 

Everyone was moved, but all of a sudden, a twister of black smoke emerged at the entrance of the USJ. 

"Sensei, is that part of the lesson?" Sato asked with doubt. 

However, Thirteen and Aizawa were also confused, as they had never planned to make such a surprise, but as they saw a group of people with far from kind and gentle expressions come out from that black smoke, their expressions quickly became tense and ugly. 

"DON'T MOVE! THOSE ARE THE VILLAINS!" 

"Now, where is All-Might, huh?" 

Facing this group of villains that was led by a young man with a hand shaped like a mask, Aizawa and Thirteen showed a fighting posture, ready to protect their students with all of their might!
