The Hunter Amongst Villains - Endeavour's Test Draft

Well, I have nothing else to say. Here is a taste of Endeavour. Ironically, I am introducing him in the latest chapter as well, only this time Garou had no way of knowing that Endeavour was a child abuser without some inside knowledge. If Garou knew Endeavour was a piece of scum, then consider Endeavour's retirement be very very early on in the story.

Endeavor’s Test

A few hours had passed since Garou ordered Kamui to pass on his message to Nezu. Needless to say… Nezu expected this. He knew that Garou has a high standard for heroes. A very high standard, one forged from the shards of his shattered faith in heroes since young.

He quickly made the call to Endeavor as soon as possible, calling Endeavor to meet him in his office now. It took Endeavor two more hours to arrive at UA, at the Principal’s Office. He did not know that Nezu lured him here to inform about his greatest trial.

“…Endeavor… are you aware of our… partnership with the retired Hero Hunter?” Nezu asked the current Number One Hero, sitting across the desk.

“Yes. I am. I have to say, I don’t really approve.”

Endeavour sat in the chair, with his hands steepled.

“…Garou shares the same sentiment with your position. Only… much more outraged. I already expected this. Endeavor, your mistakes have come back to haunt you.” Nezu informed, deciding to take this slow.

The Flame Hero began rubbing one point of his arm where Garou had brutally shattered. It only reminded him of his swift, soul-crushing defeat.

“Are you following where I am going with this?” Nezu gently asked.

Endeavour nodded solemnly. He knew that one day, he must face Garou. He would have to be ‘tested’ eventually, given how he learned of Class 1-A’s trial.

“The Hunter has a high standard for heroes… and the revelation that you, a famous hero, had partook in domestic abuse, infuriates him. He cannot accept you as a hero. It’s only by our partnership that he is not at your office assaulting you right now. Do you have any regrets from your mistakes?” Nezu asked Endeavor as he clasped his mouse paws together.

The Number One Hero looked up at Nezu, his brow set and his lips pursed.

“Everything I did, was to overcome All Might. I wished for my son to succeed me and overtake All Might as the Number One Hero. Not to be arbitrarily given the position I had worked so hard to get.”

“…Garou will not see it that way. He sees it as nothing more than simple abuse. He heard it coming from Todoroki’s point of view… and your son does not share your sentiments at that time. Never once did he not call you a failure… His hatred for those who take advantage of the weak, especially children, is very apparent.” Nezu replies.

Endeavour gave a light chuckle at that, despite the serious and dire atmosphere.

“If he hadn’t styled himself as the ‘Hero-Hunter’, maybe he could be the next Number One hero.”

He of course didn’t mean this. There was no way Garou would accept such a position. And there was no way Endeavour would actually give it away so easily.

“Maybe… but he is willing to raise the heroes we do have if pushed in the right direction… Garou is waiting for you at Gamma Gym. He wasted no time getting here. He already arrived hours ago, and is waiting for you in that room with great patience. Also…” Nezu informed. 

“He demanded your test to be watched. By the students of Class 1-A… and more if possible to my discretion. Endeavor, Garou wants to publicly execute your image as a hero.” Nezu informed.

“Will my son be there?”

“I doubt that he won’t… Garou’s tests has a great impression on Class 1-A and 1-B.” Nezu answered.

Endeavour nodded tersely. He was mentally preparing himself for his battle. His last encounter had left quite an imprint on him. 

“…it is time. He awaits you… I wish you fortune in passing his test, Endeavor. His tests are not like anything we could ever prepare.” Nezu informed sternly.

The top classes of UA were gathered here for this day. Along with the teachers as well, Cementoss, Midnight, Vlad, Ectoplasm, Mic, Aizawa, Power Loader, etc. 

All were gathered, top classes of the support department, general education department, and the heroics department, here on seats prepared by Cementoss himself, spectator seats made of concrete.

And in the center of the Gamma Gym was Garou, in his Monster Form, meditating as he sat cross-legged on the concrete floor, waiting with indomitable patience of a predator.

There was no talking in the gym. It was complete silence as they watched Garou. He didn’t even move, but that was enough to make everyone anxious. This was first time that a few people had seen Garou’s monstrous form. And it was just as terrifying as they had thought.

The skeletal form of All Might sat there, also watching Garou, with a mix of anxiety and sympathy in his eyes. He knew that Endeavour’s test would be merciless. His grip on his armrests only increased. For things to have come to this...

Then the doors opened, revealing Endeavor in his uniform, his face solemn as if he had made his peace. As if he was prepared to face death himself.

“You’re late.” Garou spoke out the first time in hours. Startling the audience with his crisp, calm tone.

Endeavour immediately locked eyes with Garou. The tension racketed up drastically as everyone could tell that violence was inevitable.

“I apologize. I just had to prepare. I know I can’t face you without preparation beforehand.”

“I almost thought you would flee in fear.” Garou said as he slowly rose up to his feet from his meditative pose.

“Endeavor. The world’s now number one hero, and number one failure. Your test starts now.” Garou spoke as he slowly took his fighting stance, one that made Endeavor’s past wounds pulse with pain upon remembering the stance he took before ending him.

Endeavour rose his hands in a combat stance in response to Garou. He clenched and unclenched his fists in preparation. Slight shivers travelled up and down his body.

“For once, allow me to make the first move .”

Flame blazed from one of Endeavour’s hands. The flames warped and twisted into the form of a long spear. Pitching his arm back, he took aim at Garou, and threw with all his might. The air scorched as the fiery spear travelled along.

“Weak and sloppy.” Garou replied as he casually back slapped the weapon’s trajectory as it flew past his head and to the wall behind him, melting a scar behind as a result.

“Your technique is horrendous. I know a hero who wields a spear, and his skill and power far surpassed yours. You attempted his moves, but your version is much inferior.” Garou replied regarding Stinger.

“...”

Endeavour furrowed his eyebrows slightly. Suddenly, he pointed both of his palms towards his opponent.

“I’ll just have to keep trying then!”

Two massive plumes of fire roared out of his palms, filling the area. The audience had to raise their hands to protect their faces from the intense heat generated.

“That’s your answer?” Garou chastised as the flames died down, revealing himself untouched along with the area around him. The floor around him was unscathed by the heat.

“Another Hero I met. A cyborg. He wields incinerator cannons, weapons that fires gouts of flame from the palms of his hands. Your flamethrower is much, much weaker than his.” Garou continued lecturing as he remained still, almost unmoving. The man before him even used that cyborg’s move.

Endeavour’s hands only clenched harder at seeing Garou’s unharmed state. But he wasn’t surprised. He had expected his attacks to be ineffective. Even so, he refused to go down in such a pitiful way as last time.

*BOOM*

As if expecting this, Garou immediately appeared before Endeavour, lodging his fist into the older man’s gut.

Enji flew back quite the distance, his feet skidding across the concrete trying to bleed out his velocity. He was coughing heavily, with large rips on his hero costume. He wiped away some blood coming from his mouth.

The crowd gasped upon seeing his sudden flight without warning. Even from afar, their eyes still could not track Garou’s speed. A first sight for many upon witnessing his power in the flesh.

“Aren’t you going to give up?” Garou asked, his tone both mocking and condescending.

“Revert to that pitiful man that gave up overcoming All Might with his own hands?” Garou’s words struck a spot where Endeavor cannot let go.

Enji roared back to his feet, defiantly resisting Garou’s mocking words.

“I never gave up! I always strived for my goal!”

“Then why did you force your son to achieve something YOU are supposed to claim? Admit it. You gave up.” Garou snarled as his fear aura started leaking.

Endeavour cast a glance over at the audience to look for his son. He saw him, sat in the 1-A area, looking on impassively.

“Just like All Might, I can’t be the Number One hero forever. My son is strong. Strong enough to be the next.”

“Excuses!” Garou shouted as appeared before him again, punching Endeavor’s chin with a savage uppercut.

The crowd watched as Endeavor was knocked up and implanted into the ceiling in a split second. It was so fast they almost missed it.

Garou waited as he let gravity do it's work, pulling Endeavor down from the ceiling to the hard cold ground. The sound of his body making contact with the floor made the students wince, as if they felt his pain.

“You did it not for that reason. You did it for yourself. To prove that you are not INFERIOR to All Might! You never did it for the greater good! Don’t pretend that you are not after all the hypocrisy I’ve witnessed! And don’t you dare use the greater good to cover your failings!” Garou roared with rage, his voice now more demon than human.

The grounded form of Endeavour squirmed on the ground in pain for a moment, before slowly rising back up. He staggered and stumbled, but barely rose back up. Blood freely trickled down from his head, streaming down his forehead.

He rose both of his hands up slightly so the palms were facing the roof. A gout of blue flame seethed out from both his hands. He thrust both of his hands towards Garou desperately.

“Where are you aiming at?” Garou asked Endeavor from behind, before he could unleash his fire.

Without giving him a chance, the human monster kicked Endeavor’s shin, sending him flying into the wall again without mercy this time.

“Don’t make me repeat myself. Why did you force your son to achieve YOUR goals? Don’t make it sound like you’re passing your legacy onto him.” Garou asked again, his tone bearing traces of killing intent. It did not go unnoticed by the audience however.

“This is too much…” Izuku murmured as he winced from Garou launched Endeavor to another side of the wall, leaving another Endeavor-shaped crater as Endeavor pulled himself out of the wall with sheer will. He was aware of the consequences of getting onto Garou’s dark side, but still… 

“Man, Garou really hates your dad, Todoroki…” Sero commented in hopes of lightening the atmosphere.

The son of Endeavor remained silent as he watched Garou tortures his father. The scene mirrored his own childhood abuse, igniting painful memories from his past. How his father would ruthlessly abuse his mother and himself for his own desires. Ever since, Todoroki admittedly wished for his father to suffer just as he did… but now after seeing his father being tortured on a scale far greater than his…

“...no one deserves this…” Todoroki uttered, his hands clenching on his armrest. What he was watching was so much worse than what the class had gone through. Fighting Garou’s disciple was completely different to fighting the man himself. And his father was fighting Garou by himself. Todoroki’s teeth clenched as he continued to watch his father receive pummeling after pummeling.

Bakugou sat there next to Kirishima with a stern mien. He had his eyes locked on the form Garou was in. Was this the form that Deku had actually resisted? He turned his head to see Deku nervously writing in one of his usual books, only this time without muttering to himself for once. Turning back to the fight, Bakugou scoffed. Still, he could barely suppress a slight shiver.

Nearby the teachers, the three top students in U.A watched the furious one-sided battle. Mirio remained still as he carefully watched every single move. It was impossible to even see some of Garou’s movements. In some instances, he’d seem to flicker and appear somewhere else. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Tamaki’s eyes darting around the ‘arena’. Not doubt he was not only nervous about this many people, but about the idea of being ‘tested’ by Garou. From his other eye, he could see Hado craning her neck over people to get a better view.

They watched as in that instant, Endeavour was smacked on his left cheek, then his right cheek, and then an uppercut to his chin nearly knocking the white out of Endeavor’s eyes as his injuries swollen red. Blood leaked from Endeavor’s lips and nose as he gritted his teeth, and steeled himself for another blow to his gut.

At that moment, Endeavor finally grasped Garou’s next attack, about to grab both of his arms and attempt to burn him. However, instead his chin was greeted by a high jump kick at that moment, knocking him up as he flipped in the air before landing back down face flat to the hard, cold concrete.

What was apparent however, was that sometimes when Garou moved, his steps leaves heavy indenting cracks in the ground, as if the very earth itself could not handle the Human Monster’s presence in his assault. And his stances, the way he angled his arms and legs in highly complex stances of martial forms on a level that was only possible in the movies, made it that none can read Garou’s movements.

Midnight turned to All Might next to her with a worried expression on her face.

“At this rate, we’re going to need to step in. This might be going too far.”

All Might kept his stern look as he couldn’t tear his eyes away from Endeavour’s ‘trial’.

“We can’t step in. Even if we managed to halt young Garou’s assault, it would only be a matter of time before this were to happen again.”

“Tell me, Endeavor. What made you gave up? Despair that you will never be strong? Is it that great for you to fall so low?” Garou asked the beaten Endeavor as he took his time absorbing his work.

Enji was sprawled out of the ground, lying in a large, bloody crater. His body was racked with pain and every single one fiber of his body demanded him to lie down and embrace the darkness. But he fiercely resisted the urge to lie down.

“Are you already ready to give up?” Garou taunted as he looked down on his beaten foe.

Endeavour rose himself onto his hands and knees as he attempted to push himself to his feet. His heavy, laboured breaths seemed to fill the room.

“Haaah… I knew… that..I-I could never… beat A-All Might.”

His sudden acceptance shocked the audience. Especially Todoroki. The idea of his father accepting that kind of thing was beyond him. He never seemed to apologise.

“But… there is someone… haah… who could.”

He raised one of his hands sluggishly and pointed a finger towards the audience.

“That’s my son. Shouto.”

Garou turned his head to see the boy with the burned scar over his left eye.

“I noticed. But just so you know, my definition of strength differs from yours. What I heard is nothing more than excuses. You can become so much more if you put your mind to it.” Garou said something that Endeavour, and the audience never expected to hear.

“I can think of many ways you can improve yourself. I know techniques and methods that can push you beyond your limits and achieve new levels. I deem you a failure because you waste your potential.” Garou’s further explained.

Endeavour was now on his feet, hunched over slightly. His panting had ceased.

“It wasn’t about strength. I could never be like All Might. His presence made the people around him smile. He was the beacon of light.”

“Be like him? Really? Ahahahahaha! Impossible!” Garou then laughed at Endeavour as if finding his answer pathetic.

“Depending on your next answer I will send you to hell. Was it worth it? Damning your family for your selfishness?” Garou asked, his tone dangerously low.

“...” no words came to Endeavor’s mind. None could form in his throat. A question that he could not answer… as he is afraid of the truth.

As Endeavour stood still, attempting to come up with something, anything to say, a voice rang out from the audience. He turned his head to see his son stood up, staring at him.

“Are you going to stand there and say nothing? What happened to your spirit, you damned old man?! The bastard I know wouldn’t be this timid!”

A moment of silence passed as the entire room waited for what would happen next. A chuckle broke the silence. As some people looked around to see where the source was, they noticed it was Endeavour, still hunched over, chuckling.

“Of course! You’re right!”

Enji pulled himself up and stood up straight. His uniform was badly ripped and he was covered in blood and bruises.

“I am not All Might! But I am still the Number One Hero!” He roared with burning spirit.

Hearing this, All Might rose from his chair as he looked on. 

“…you didn’t answer my question.” Garou reminded him as he waited for Endeavor’s response. The light around the room dimmed, even Enji’s flames, as Garou’s aura intensified threateningly for his answer, the sheer pressure reaching even the spectators as they shivered.

Endeavour’s spirit seemed to falter for just a moment, before he steeled himself.

“…no. It was not.” Endeavour answered.

Garou’s aura intensified even more from it, threatening to douse Enji’s reignited spirit. Taking a deep breath, Endeavor gazed into Garou’s black holes for eyes.

“…you were right. I gave up… I desired to surpass All Might, but the more I trained, the more I realized the gap between us… it was painfully clear that the difference between us is like night and day.” Endeavor started confessing himself to Garou, as the Human Monster calmly listened with palpable patience.

Enji hung his head in shame as he thought on his past. His treatment of his children was a black spot. His thoughtless obsession with reaching the number one spot had driven him to inexcusable acts.

“…I’ve done bad things. Yes… and I admit, I did it believing it was for the greater good. That all will be well in the end if I could raise Shouto to become the greatest hero no matter the cost. But…” 

“The main reason I hate you. You represent every hero I hate reeking of hypocrisy. You treat Justice as an excuse to sin. You abused your standing as a hero.” Garou finished his sentence for him.

Endeavour clenched his fists. He closed his eyes solemnly.

“I did. I was an inexcusable hero.”

He cast a gaze over to the standing Shouto.

“And a terrible father.”

“Good. You finally see it. Congratulations. You now understood that you are one of the reasons I hate Justice.” Garou then snarled.

“And now I will send you to hell along with your regrets.” Garou stated his ultimatum, his crisp voice spelling doom for all to hear.

“Enji!” As if to protest against Garou’s decision, a deep, masculine voice erupted from the stands. It was All Might, in his almost forgotten Muscle Form standing up from his seats.

“Don’t let yourself lose! You’re the Number One Hero, bearing the torch of our world’s hopes and dreams! We are counting you! The world is counting on you! Don’t let them down in their time of need, Endeavour!” All Might roared with heroic spirit.

Garou looked over to the skeleton turned macho as he cocked his head. Blood suddenly spurted out of All Might’s mouth as he shrunk back down to his normal form.

‘...Really?’ Garou planned to fail Endeavor. After sending him to the hospital. The reason why he wanted them to watch was so he could break Endeavour’s image. Though… 

“You can do it! Pass his test, Endeavor!” The courageous coward followed, rising off his seat afterwards with arms pumped high.

‘Why are they cheering for him?’ His actions had the opposite effect.

Endeavour looked on at the crowd. His turbulent emotions prevented him from acting, as he just stood there, hearing the cheering and the cries for him. Class 1-A, Class 1-B, the teachers… 

“Endeavor! Win!” Tooru cheered.

“Don’t lose, Endeavor!” Kaminari roared.

“We’re counting on you!” Izuka cheered.

“Endeavor, show him the pride of us Heroes!” Midnight followed.

He could even hear his own son shouting and cheering for him. 

“You better not lose, old man! I’ve got a ton of things to say to you for all you’ve put me and my siblings through! And you owe so many apologies to mom! I refuse to take you to her if you lose!” Shouto shouted at Endeavor with spirit, one that he never saw in him before.

A smile crept across Enji’s face. He raised his head and focused on Garou. His arms hung at his sides, with his fists clenched. Endeavor knew he could not win. However, he knew he must not give in as well. His entire being was on the line, and he won’t let himself fall to Garou’s plans. No matter what.

“…” Garou remained silent as he listened in to the cheers, while watching Endeavour gathering every drop of his power to stand his ground, his eyes burning with newfound will. One that Garou always desired in heroes.

‘Damn you, skeleton.’ Garou lightly cursed the former number one hero for cheating. He briefly cast a glare at retired hero before he returned his focus on Endeavour.

“…I planned to fail you.” Garou broke his silence with his confession.

“In the most painful ways imaginable.”

The cheering slowed down as the audience heard this morbid revelation, their blood apprehensively growing cold with fear.

“You represent everything I hate about heroes. The arrogance. The conceit. The blindness to one's own hypocrisy. I had the intention to break every bone in your body, boil your blood with pain, and leave you in the hospital for years at most…” Garou confessed his plans to potentially end Endeavour’s career. His most brutal plan yet.

Silence now reigned in the Gamma Gym as everyone was hanging on Garou’s every word. They remained stood up, but all was quiet. The tension in the air was palpable.

“…I planned to break your image as a hero as well. I want to leave you with nothing but regrets. And make you suffer for your ineptitude. Leaving you all alone in your misery.” Garou’s merciless words continued fueling the dreaded unease in their hearts.

The man who defeated All Might was about to break the next Number One Hero. And they don’t know what they should do about it.

“But. By some goddamn miracle, and cheats, you actually redeemed yourself and found the one thing that I required for you to pass my test.” Garou scoffed as he reverted back to his human form.

“And I must respect my codes.”

Everyone sank back into their chair as they all released a sigh of relief. Endeavour almost fell to the floor in exhaustion and relief. The voice of All Might broke the relieved silence.

“Well. It appears that the test is over.”

He turned to Endeavour.

“Well done, Enji.”

*OAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

Then the class cheered. Roars of praise erupted from the crowd, banishing the silence with the song of hope. Garou clicked his tongue when he heard that. It was supposed to be more spiteful. They were supposed to hate him.

The Flame Hero kneeled on the ground, exhausted. His costume was battered and torn. Bruises decorated his body from head to toe, with large patches of coagulated blood all over him. He raised his head to look at the ceiling, reflecting on everything that transpired. 

He had been so obsessed. His goal had blinded him to the reality. He could have never overtaken All Might with such a mindset. 

As he thought on this, he looked over at the man responsible for all of this. Garou was stood there, listening to the cheers and yells of the onlookers.

“H-how?”

Enji could only speak a single word to the Hero-Hunter. He was still too overwhelmed by everything he had undergone.

“Yeah. How they still see you as a hero is beyond me.” Garou replied with his casual surreal humor.

“This oversight on my part is half the reason you passed.” Garou added as he starts to walk away.

Enji pulled himself to his feet as attempted to follow Garou for a few steps.

“How did I pass? I had thought you had me judged beforehand.”

“...there is one thing I value most in heroes.” Garou stopped as he turned his head back to Endeavour.

“And you seemed to have grasped the thing that will lead you to greater heights.” Garou informed.

Endeavour stopped his approach as he watched Garou’s back, the man walking towards the exit.

“W-What was it?”

“Will.” Garou replied.

“The will to move forward no matter what. Remember that feeling. The drive to defy your limits.” Garou then continued walking.

“Never forget that feeling.” He warned as he reached the doors, exiting the gym as he left Endeavor to his thoughts.

Over amongst the crowd, All Might looked after Garou as he left the gym. He turned, and began to make his own way to the nearby door. He slipped past person after person as he went after Garou.

Garou continued walking, his thoughts on what happened. Why did they cheer for him? What is it about Endeavour that they value?

Then he stopped upon sensing a presence. A familiar one.

“You’ve come to ask me about the test, skeleton?”

The thin form of All Might stepped out from behind a corner, a pleasant smile on his bony face. 

“So, young Garou, you had to concede this time didn’t you?”

His voice held no resentment, only pride. Pride not only at his fellow hero, but at the young man before him.

“……you noticed.” Garou clicked his tongue.

All Might stepped slightly closer.

“What made you choose for Enji to pass? It wasn’t the cheering was it?”

His smile grew more as he jokingly asked.

“.…that was half the reason. The other half Endeavor grasping what I value in heroes the most.” Garou replied hesitantly.

“And what would that be?”

All Might felt like he already knew the answer, but he knew he had to ask.

“The same thing that drove me to become this strong, though still in its infancy.” Garou replied.

“Will.” 

The former Number One Hero nodded. He understood what Garou meant. Most of those who passed Garou’s ‘tests’ had that in common. That they were determined and driven. They were willful. Just like young Izuku.

“It's far from ideal though… they wouldn't be able to continuously fight with their lives on the line. And they're too fragile to overcome the obstacles to reach my level.” Garou added.

All Might rose one hand to his mouth as he chuckled. 

“I don’t think we could manage with more people of your level.”

“You can though.” Garou replied.

“You are lucky my landlord made sure of it.” He said with his usual humor as he pointed to himself.

“What a fierce woman. To be able to get you to do all of this.”

All Might gestured around at the school. It was true. Garou would most likely not even be here if it wasn’t for that landlady.

“Heh. She is strong in her own right…” Garou then dropped his smile as he switched the conversation.

“.......why did they cheer for him?” Garou asked regarding the turn of events.

All Might’s smile faded slightly as he looked at the suddenly more serious Garou.

“We could all feel it. His conviction. You had managed to bring something out of Endeavour. It made him more… human.”

Everyone in the seats could have felt the intensity of Endeavour’s determination and will as he resisted.

“He was supposed to break down into despair… I never intended for him to pass.” Garou had no mercy for those who fell. Yet… somehow, they managed to change his mind. When they suddenly erupted into cheers, Garou felt… overwhelmed with their hope, a different kind of hope than the kind he knew back home. An alien feeling he could not understand.

The skeletal Hero’s trademark smile only grew as he heard this. The fact that Garou had changed his mind to such an extent was only a good thing.

“Well, you’ve surprised us enough my boy! I think it was long past due that we surprised you.”

Hearing this, Garou scoffed.

“Maybe.......I don't understand one thing… their… hope. It was something I never experienced before.”

All Might took one look of sympathy as he approached Garou. He stood before Garou, and lay a comforting hand on his shoulder.

“For such a young man to have not experienced hope, is truly a tragic tale. I am glad you felt such feelings here.”

“...there is no room for hope back then. I could not hope. Only press on.” Garou replied.

“...I hate your world to be honest. The concept of Quirks is a plague infecting the meaning of heroes. It went against everything I stand for.”

Removing the hand, All Might continued to look at the troubled young man before him.

“Yet, despite it all… it held the key for me to understand what it means to be a hero as well. For me to find my own path other than becoming the Symbol Of Fear.” He added.

“I’m glad. I’m glad you’ve found such a path.”

The skeletal hero beamed with pride. Garou’s acknowledgement of understanding what a hero is truly made his heart swell with joy.

“It is still pending though. I am not like you all.” Garou rebuffed as he continued.

“Today, I started a massacre of small fry villains. They thought they could hunt me. And I proved them wrong with their bodies.” Garou’s tone then turned dark and threatening when he mentioned them.

All Might grimaced upon hearing that. It was a scene painted from hell itself. He heard from Kamui about Garou’s actions, his excessive self-defense. 

“I just hope you never turn down the path of villainy.”

“You are dreaming if you think I’ll sink that low.” Garou scoffed.

Garou then started walking further away.

“Now if you excuse me… I need to eat. I've skipped lunch just for Endeavor.”
