Y/n's eyes lazily opened as he was staring at the night sky.

Y/n:...My...body-

Garou: Shut up, if you talk to much you'll bleed out and die...

Y/n looked to the side and saw Garou who was heavily injured.

Y/n: You got beaten to a pulp I see...

Garou: I could've beaten them if it wasn't for me always saving you the whole fight!

Y/n: You saved me?

Garou:...Yeah-

Y/n: I saved you as well so don't think I'm indebted to-

Blood spat out of Y/n's mouth as Garou got up and walked away.

Garou: You should hurry to the hospital if I were you...

Y/n:...Wh-Where are you going...

Garou: I'm going to pay those monsters a visit. I'm not going to let them beat me up and get away with it.

Y/n got up slowly as he started limping.

Garou: Hey, did you here what I said?

Y/n caught his breath as he sighed and looked at Garou.

Y/n: I'll come with you...

Garou: Forget it. You'll only hold me back, plus in a few seconds you'll-

Garou was cut off as Y/n fell to the ground.

Garou:...You'll lose too many blood....

Timeskip

Y/n was at the Hero Association Hospital, sitting up, fully awake with bandages all over his body, except his face.

Y/n: How the hell did I get here?

Y/n looked at the food that was given to him by the nurse.

(A/n: She's canon now in this book since there were no canon nurses to begin with😁)

Beautiful Nurse: A man carried you here. He too was injured, but he declined any sign that he wasn't injured.

Suiryu: It seems the news were true...

Suiryu popped up from behind the Beautiful Nurse as she moved away, shocked to see him.

Beautiful Nurse: Mr. Suiryu!?

Suiryu: Hello...

Suiryu walked up to Y/n's hospital bed.

Y/n: Where did you get so much injuries?

Suiryu: I ran into monsters who said they were from something called the Monster Association, but I defeated them.

Y/n: You could do great as a hero. Why don't you become one?

Suiryu: I do martial arts. I won't have enough time to do hero stuff. I want to complete my arsenal of martial arts.

Y/n: Then...do you want me to teach you a few tricks?

Suiryu: I would appreciate it, but I doubt you could do anything considering your arm...

Y/n: This is nothing...

Y/n slowly got up as the Beautiful Nurse ran to his aid.

Beautiful Nurse: Mr Ashura. You shouldn't move around too much. If you do your wounds will open again.

Y/n: It's-

Suddenly Y/n's stomach started grumbling causing him to sit back down and look at his food.

Y/n: This is for me right?

Beautiful Nurse: Eh? Y-Yes-

Y/n without using thinking twice quickly grabbed the chopsticks and started eating the 4 ramen up in just a few seconds

When he was finished he drank the juice slowly but still taking big gulps and finished it.

Y/n: Thank you for the food...

Y/n got back up as he took off his bandages. All his injuries that he got from the two Demon Level Threat monsters was fully healed except the arm.

Beautiful Nurse: Wh-What-

Y/n: Then I guess I'll be on my way...

Suiryu: Wh-Where are you going?

Y/n: To look for the Monster Association hideout.

Suiryu: Are you going alone?

Y/n: I would if I was in my best condition, but since I'm not fully healed, I'll have to ask the Hero Association-

Child Emperor: What's happened to your arm?

Suddenly Child Emperor walked inside the room as Stinger also popped up from behind.

Suiryu looked at the two and back to Y/n.

Suiryu: Are they your friends?

Y/n: We are acquainted with each other.

Stinger: It seems you made it back in one peace.

Y/n: Are you really making fun of me right now?

Stinger: What do you mean?

Y/n sighed as he faced the two showing that his arm was missing.

Child Emperor:...What happened?

Stinger: Was it the Hero Hunter and that other two monsters?

Child Emperor: The Hero Hunter!? You guys met him?

Y/n: Well it was only for a brief second, bit I've snatched this from his clothing.

Child Emperor took out a juice box from his backpack and began to drink it.

Child Emperor: Can you two leave us alone please?

Beautiful Nurse: Of course!

Suiryu and the Nurse walked out of the room and closed the door behind them.

Y/n: So can you track him down?

Child Emperor: Do I look like a dog to-

Child Emperor stopped talking as he realised something.

Child Emperor: We actually do have someone who can track him down...

Stinger: Good idea, we can track him down so we can finally put him away.

Y/n: No...

Child Emperor: It's highly likely the Hero Hunter knows where the Monster's Hideout is.

Stinger: Wait a minute! So if it really is true then...

Y/n: Yeah...We can stop the Monster Association and destroy their plans...

Y/n, Child Emperor and Stinger were looking at each other having a big smile plastered all over their faces.

Y/n: But I'm more curious who you said who could track down the Hero Hunter.

Child Emperor: Haven't you figured it out yet? I'm talking about Watchdog Man

Timeskip

The group had made it to City Q, the most active monster sightings ever.

Y/n: So where is he?

Child Emperor: Right there...

Child Emperor pointed over to a young man dressing as a dog.

Y/n:...Is he not...embarrassed?

Suddenly Watchdog Man looked at them and quickly jumped off the stone pillar it was sitting on

Child Emperor: Watchdog Man, we need your help with something.

Watchdog Man:...The Hero Hunter?
