"Well, that was tiring." I sighed.

"You're doing a great job so far." Said Maskmana.

We were sitting outside of the centre.

"Thanks Maskmana. It's just my luck that the citizens here are all nice."

"Well, I can't deny that. But that was a great start. After this, you might meet various type of people. You just need to be ready to deal with them."

"I understand."

"Take a rest for now. I will be with the other heroes, dealing with the construction."

I nodded as I did the salute I just learnt. Maskmana looked a bit surprise but quickly recovered and did the salute too. Then, he started leaving the centre with some agents from the agency.

'Guess I'm on my own now. Nah, it's alright. I'm sure nothing's bad is gonna happen.' I thought.

'I talked too soon.' I sighed.

"Isami where are you?!"

Currently, I was in the middle of the destroyed buildings, trying to find Isami, one of the orphans. How can I end up like this? Well....

Flashback...

I was just chilling before Miss Rose came to me in panic. Saying that one of the kids, AKA Isami, was gone and probably was outside, trying to find someone named Ayumi.

"Ayumi is Isami's twin sister. They got separated with eachother when the earthquake happened. Due to having a tracking quirk, he always wanted to find her by himself." explained Miss Rose.

"If that so then wouldn't that be great? He can track where Ayumi's are, then track the centre's location and bring both of them back here, right?"

"Only if that was the case. His quirk has a range limit which will give him a bit problem to track her whereabouts. He will be wondering around the city while using his quirk to find her. If he exhausted himself, he might collapsed! Not to mention, I'm worried if he ever encountered a villain." said Miss Rose.

"Did you tell the heroes about Ayumi?"

"I did but until now, the heroes didn't find her. Until, Isami kinda loss his trust on heroes and decided to take actions himself."

'Well... like Maskmana said... civilian trust is very important for a reason.' I thought.

I sighed and and gave her my assurance smile.

"Don't worry. I will try my best to help you find him and Ayumi. Also-"

I looked around, try to find any hero that could help me but there was none.

'Where in the galaxy are the other heroes when I need them the most? Were everyone busy dealing with the rubbles or what?' I thought.

Then, I turned my attention back on Miss Rose.

"If a hero with a mask ask you about me, tell him everything you know, okay?" I said. Better left a message for her to deliver it to Maskmana. Why not just call him? My phone is in the car and the car is locked. You see how much bad luck I had so far?

And here I am, wandering around the destroyed city, not knowing where to start searching for Isami. I tend to look at my watch to see the time, just to found nothing on my wrist.

'Right... I gave my watch to Mr. Amato to be repaired. But then again, my watch doesn't even show the time like a normal watch. It just shows seven symbols that are the same like my pins and my elemental. I wonder if it's just a consequence or it had another meaning.' I thought.

Meanwhile, with Isami...

"Ayumi! Ayumi it's me, Isami! Where are you?" shouted Isami.

"If only my quirk doesn't have a limit, I'm sure I can find her sooner." said Isami.

He was wandering at the destroyed orphanage, trying to find Ayumi, his twin. Aumi is just a kid like him, of course she wouldn't ran too far from the orphanage, right?

Unknowingly to him, someone had been watching him from a far.

"Ehehehe, this will be fun~"

"Isami! Isami, where are you? Everyone is worried about you."

I was at the fallen buildings area. For the past 10 minutes, I still didn't see Isami.

Suddenly, I heard some noises nearby. I slowly went to the noise direction.

'It could be Isami but there's also possibility that it came from a villain.' I thought.

When I'm getting closer, I could see a little girl holding a metal pipe. Her face was full of bruises and her dress was a bit ripped.

"Who are you?!" asked the girl, letting her guards up while pointing the metal pipe towards me.

"M-My name is Boboiboy a-and I'm a hero!" I got startled and quickly answered the girl's question.

"Hero? Are you really a hero?" the girl asked again, a slight suspicion was plastered on her face.

"Well, a hero in training actually. I'm on my internship. By the way, who are you, little girl? Why are you here all alone?"

Feeling like I was telling the truth, she low down the pipe and answered my question.

"My name is Ayumi and I got lost after the earthquake."

That clicked me.

"Ayumi? As in Ayumi, Isami's twin sister?" I asked.

"Y-Yes. That's me!" She looked at with surprise, probably wondering how I knew her and of course, Isami.

This bring a smile on my face. The missing Ayumi has been found. Now, for the main objective I went out here.

"Ayumi, I don't want to leave you here all alone, so I guess you will be following me."

Ayumi looked at me questionly.

"Why? Where are we going?"

"You see... Isami went out here all alone to find you. He could be injured if he keeps on wandering out here all alone." I explained.

"Isami is out here!? What if he encountered that villain!?" Ayumi said in panic which caught my attention. I asked her what did she meant about the villain.

"There is a villain out here. I encountered her once but I managed to escape. If the villain found him, Isami will get hurt!"

Ok, this is not the time to panic but if the things Ayumi said is true, then we're in a big trouble.

"How are we supposed to find him? He could be anywhere!" I started to panic while still trying to think of a solution.

It's not like we have tracking quirk like Isami. Then, I felt Ayumi was pulling my vest a little.

"Um... if this help... I can increase your senses abilities..." Ayumi said.

Increase senses?

"You mean... you can increase my hearing and eyesight abilities so that I could hear and see everythings even though it was miles away?"

"Precisely! I can also increase your speed, quirk and others."

"Won't it cost you any downside?" I asked.

"Well, it will work for 5 minutes straight and will also drain my energy but it was nothing to worry about."

"Alright then."

Ayumi's eyes started glowing in bright yellow, as well as my body. To my surprise, I could hear many people murmured something which I believed those are from the people at the safety centre but man... that was like 3 km away from us. After that, I could hear someone's scream, more specifically, Isami's scream! About one kilometer, I could see Isami was running away from a girl with blond hair. She was wearing a school uniform with a bit messy two bun hairstyle.

"Ayumi? Does that villain you mentioned has blond hair?" I asked.

"Yes!"

Okay this is not good. We need to save Isami fast.

Thanks to Ayumi's quirk, my running speed was increased and I brought Ayumi with me. We hide behind a huge debris, out of the villain's sight. When I saw Isami, I quickly grabbed him and hide him from the villain. Once the villain ran passed us, I sighed in relief.

"Who ar-" I quickly covered Isami's mouth with my hand.

"Sshhh... it's me, Boboiboy. And look who I found while trying to find you." I whispered while moving aside to reveal Ayumi to Isami.

"Ayum- ouch!"

I got startled when Ayumi instantly hit Isami's head while Isami was about to hug her.

"What do you think you're doing idiot?! You could have been killed by that villain!" Ayumi whispered angrily.

"I just want to find you..." Isami started tearing up before Ayumi decided to hug him.

"Thanks anyway... if it weren't for you, Boboiboy won't find me. What would I do without you, brother?"

I smiled looking at their interaction. Interaction between siblings and twins.

"I promise I will protect all of you. You are like the siblings I never have."

"But... we're just-"

"Don't even start it. You are a living being now. A soul that have emotions and can feel pain. I have seen all of you as one, so does it even matter what the others say? They don't know you."

"Thank you... Ori..."

On that few seconds, I saw a piece of my memories. Seven people were standing in front of me. All of them were wearing a cap, almost similar as mine but with different positions and style.

'Who are they? Why their faces are all the same? No... why their faces... are identical as me?'

Before I could think of any possibilities, I heard foot steps coming closer to our spots. I took a peak from the rubbles while the twins were cuddling eachother, afraid of the outcome.

I could see the villain was wondering around the area to find Isami.

"Oh little kid~ Where are you?~ Are we playing hide and seek now? Does that means we're friends now?! Okayyy~ I will find you~ After that, maybe you can let me see a little bit blood on your face. Oh, or~ you can let me have a bit of your blood! That sure sounds fun!" the villain said excitedly while continue her searching.

'Blood? What is she? A vampire? But aren't vampire got burned when they were exposed to sunlight though? Anyway, we need to get out from here since I don't think fighting her is a wise choice.' I thought.

I looked back towards the twins and told them to get out from here before the villain found us. However, the moment we were about to take the first step, the villain already find us.

"There you are. Oh? So you have a twin~ That's why you have same faces but different genders. I thought just because you want to hide from me, you cut your hair and change your clothes. Hihi~ but that doesn't matter though. I can have more friends!" said the villain with a big yet creepy smile on her face, for my opinion. Her smile alone managed to send shivers down my spine.

I quickly stood in front of the kids, trying to protect them from the villain.

"Oh? And who might you be?" she asked me.

"Boboiboy. A hero."

"Heeee, a hero? Demo (But), there's something missing if you claimed yourself to be a hero~" she said while analysing me from head to toe.

"What is it?" I asked nervously, still keeping my guards up.

"You see. A hero usually have... THIS!"

Suddenly, she let out a knife and tried to attack me. I quickly dodged but my left hand got cut and was bleeding.

"Argh!"

"Boboiboy!" shouted the kids in worry.

My blood was dripping down on the ground while I was trying hard to endure the pain.

"That's it! A hero should have that colour with them. Look at those blood~. Maybe I can add yours in my blood collection! So that maybe one day, I can be just like you~" she said while a big smile was plastered on her face.

I tried to summon my lightning sword, but to my surprise, nothing happened. I tried to let out my other elements but the result is still the same.

What now? Why can't I use my quirk?
