BNHA: Accelerator The Strongest Hero

Among the crowd, hidden enemies opened fire.

With the sound of gunfire, people instinctively fled.

Their target was Fat Gum.

In the face of the penetrating bullets, the thick layers of fat on his body had limited effect, and his large frame made him an easy target, especially at such close range.

The initial speed of the bullets was fast; even though Fat Gum noticed the anomaly immediately, the enemies were shooting from behind him.

[Damn, there's no time!]

He realized that even if a miracle happened and he could somehow burst forth with enough speed to dodge the bullets, the enemies wouldn't care.

Because bullets don't have eyes and can't turn; Fat Gum only had two choices in the line of fire.

Get shot himself or let the innocent people in front of him get hit.

It seemed that from the very beginning, the enemies hadn't left any option for no one to get hurt.

Just as things were about to go terribly wrong, Tamaki Amajiki, positioned behind Fat Gum, concentrated all his strength into his transformed chicken-foot-like legs, shifting most of his weight to one side. 

Like a volleyball player saving a ball, he extended his arms, transformed into shell-like blades, just in time to block the path of the incoming bullets with his [Manifest: Shell Blade].

While the [Shell Blade] was quite hard, it still couldn't withstand bullets traveling at supersonic speeds.

The moment the two collided, the pure white shell shattered violently under the impact of the real bullets.

Bright red blood and countless fragments of the shell splattered onto the ground, and Tamaki Amajiki fell to the ground, overwhelmed by the pain and the vibrations from the impact.

If it weren't for the enemy's surprise attack, even bullets wouldn't be able to trouble Tamaki or the chubby hero.

Tamaki had once used his [Shell Armor] in training to easily withstand gunfire, but this time was different. The enemy cleverly mixed in with the crowd.

"A hero got shot!"

The ordinary people scattered, while the chubby hero stood in front of his junior, ready to face the enemy who had just fired.

"Are you okay?"

Tamaki Amajiki seemed to have recovered from the pain and quickly replied.

"I'm fine; it's just a little blood. It's not as painful as I thought."

The enemy, dressed in a black suit, didn't take the chance to escape with the crowd. Instead, he watched the hero duo with a sinister grin and commented slowly.

"Not bad, heroes."

"It seems this prototype weapon still has many issues."

Seeing the enemy's act, Tamaki reached out, intending to use [Reproduce: Octopus Tentacle] to catch him off guard.

However, only a weak-looking tentacle about three centimeters long formed at the tip of his fingers.

[Quirk, I can't my quirk?!]

Faced with such a strange situation, Tamaki shouted to the chubby hero.

"Senpai! Be careful! I can't use my [Quirk] right now!"

Hearing this, even the chubby hero felt a chill run down his spine.

[Erasure] and [Nullification] are the kinds of special counter-type Quirks that are feared on both sides.

The enemy, with slicked-back black hair and a black suit, laughed and said, 

"Hahaha, does being careful help?"

"Hahaha, it's so satisfying to see you both looking so tense!"

"My useless [Quirk] used to be able to only create blades less than ten centimeters long, like a pathetic craft knife. Meanwhile, you so-called heroes have innate [Quirks] that can easily smash walls and even withstand bullets."

"Hahaha, I still remember how fierce you were when you rid the world of evil, recklessly destroying the bases we worked hard to build. Did you ever think you'd end up needing your subordinates to protect you one day?!"

"At that time, I was forced into a disgusting place, stuck in a garbage bin full of slop and industrial fertilizer for three whole days! Not even a rat would be interested in that dump!"

As the enemy watched the chubby hero looking for openings, he continued to laugh maniacally.

"Whatever. People like you who can become heroes and have many choices will never understand the world we lowly ones live in."

"Back then, my power was weak compared to the heroes, so my will didn't matter."

"But now, the young master has given us new power!"

"It's time to take back what you heroes owe us!"

As he spoke, the enemy fired several shots at Fat Gum.

Amidst the flying bullets, Fat Gum calmly held his breath.

The distance between him and the enemy was about several dozen meters. Estimating in a straight line, it would take about ten steps at full sprint.

His massive body, like a living battering ram, compressed slightly, lowering his center of gravity about forty-five degrees.

With a mighty roar, he charged at the enemy with unstoppable force, causing nearby debris from the battle to shake with each of his powerful strides.

He was as intimidating as a speeding tank.

Instead of doing nothing or being unable to get close to the enemy, he decided to go all out, crossing his arms in front of him and intensely focusing his energy, reinforcing the fat in his arms to the limit.

"Let's see if you can take it from me, enemy!"

"Don't think I'll go down easily!"

The sound of gunfire was relentless as Fat Gum dodged several shots, taking a few hits to close the distance to the enemy.

Even the enemy was caught off guard by Fat Gum's approach, charging like a large truck speeding over a hundred kilometers per hour.

If he got hit directly, even a defensive Quirk wouldn't hold up, especially since this enemy's Quirk was more focused on offense.

In the next moment, something unexpected happened.

Countless long and sharp blades suddenly shot out from the enemy's body, resembling a beast's jagged teeth when it opens its mouth wide.
