Himiko drove the cart to the laundry room, just as they entered it, the alarm began to sound throughout the building.
Getting out of the cart Akira spoke.
"Well now is where our challenge against the clock begins, we must be quick to get to the reception before they finish organizing and close the whole building."
Akira approached the ventilation shaft located in the corner of the wall and with a kick broke the hatch.
Due to their small bodies, the space was perfect for them to get in and move around, so Himiko deactivated her transformation and returned to her girl body so she could get into the conduit.
Leading the way Akira entered the conduit and Himiko followed him. Because they had no way of obtaining the specific plans of the building Akira had to be guided by his senses, taking advantage of his improved hearing, they moved towards the direction in which he felt the most noise, using this method they soon reached the first obstacle.
Because they were on the 4th floor and were looking to descend to the 1st floor, the only available path was a free fall towards a dark background.
Thanks to his vision Akira could identify that it was a conduit that would take them directly to the first floor, the problem is that they were around 20 meters to the bottom and although their bodies after turning vampires had been strengthened and had regeneration to heal their wounds, a height this great would simply kill them or seriously injure them.
"Himiko, we have to go down this conduit, it is our shortcut to quickly reach the reception" Akira spoke to Himiko who was behind him.
"But Akira, how are we going to get down here, it's too high and we don't have ropes" asked Himiko doubtfully.
"Hehehehe, for that ropes if we have our quirk, we simply have to go down little by little leaning on our sharp nails nailing them into the walls of the conduit.
After all, these walls are not very thick and with our claws, we can easily grip "showing his elongated nails Akira grabbed the side of the conduit and you were able to cling by digging into it with relative ease.
With this done Akira began to descend step by step and Himiko who had been looking at him began to imitate him, also descending with the support of her nails.
After 5 minutes of descent, they managed to reach the bottom.
"Fowuuu ~ yes it's high. With this, we are already a few minutes from reaching the reception" looking up Akira realized how tall he was.
Without being distracted further, he focused his attention on his ears identifying where the greatest noise and movement of the wind was, after a few seconds he identified a duct that turned to the right, this one, unlike the others, had a greater air current and noise, showing that it was heading towards the reception where there would be more noise from the streets outside and wind due to the outside. Without further delay, Akira led Himiko down that path, after about 2 minutes of crawling through the conduits they arrived in front of a hatch.
Through the small gaps, they could see the reception of the building, which, unlike the first time he came, was now inhabited by 7 guards insight, and who knows how many more were on their way.
"Well Himiko, this is the moment ... it is now or never ... This is our chance to escape, to be free, so do not hesitate to attack, but above all do not stop, the main priority is to escape, we cannot let us hold back and we end up surrounded by all the guards in the building. At my signal, we left and ran towards the exit."
"Aki, once we're out, will people help us?" Himiko asked.
"Hahh, I don't know. The truth is that I prefer not to trust them, after all, that they allow institutes like this to exist it shows how discriminated against are the people who have 'villain quirks' so the best thing is that we escape without trusting anyone and in the future we will see if people can be trusted" Akira answered him as best he could.
In fact, his point of view had changed a lot since he reincarnated, the world of manga is beautiful and heroic, but underneath all that publicity of heroism lies greater darkness.
In this world, although there is no discrimination by gender or skin, very strong discrimination against villain quirks has been created, so much so as to allow institutes like this one, which only disguises themselves as a help hospital, when in reality they can do inhuman things.
The worst thing is that nobody cares, they ignore it and stay away to not get involved, all due to the fear that the word villain generates.
"Hmmm, ok Aki, I don't care about others, as long as I'm with you I don't care about anything else" nodding Himiko turned into a vampire, turning her eyes red and sharpening her claws to cut everything in her path.
Akira also showed his claws and his red eyes were glowing more and more.
"1….2 ... and… 3" Akira pushed the gate and went out to the reception, drawing everyone's attention, then Himiko left and without waiting for the guards to understand the situation they began to run, the distance to the exit door was about 10 meters, which would not be difficult to navigate if it were not for the guards reacting and starting to attack them reducing their speed of advance, they had to stop and dodge by jumping backward due to several bullets of a substance sticky mud, which was thrown at them inadvertently risking being trapped or worse turning out to be a corrosive acid they decided to avoid it.

Without having time to regroup Akira found himself looking at a fist that was heading towards him, he made another jump backward avoiding the blow and after looking at the attacker he discovered that it was the Asian guard who could reach out his arms, so knowing his next would movement was able to tilt his head back thus avoiding the punch again, taking advantage of the guard's surprise, Akira ran towards him quickly and threw a blow to the side of the guard's face, the guard surprised by his speed only had enough time to take cover his face with his arm, receiving the impact of the fist he flew out 1 meter, leaving him temporarily inactive.
Akira did not continue attacking but instead looking for Himiko, he found her fighting against another guard who, although he was holding her, could not approach her due to his sharp claws, which could slice him at any moment.
Looking at this he breathed a sigh of relief 'heck, even though we are strong we have no experience fighting, I didn't think about it, I thought that it had enough strength could easily escape. If we continue like this, we will not last 10 seconds.'
Analyzing the situation, Akira thought about what would be the best option to escape and after seeing that the guards would attack him again, only this time there would be several at the same time, he stopped doubting.
"HIMIKO! I'm going to open the way, you cover my back" shouting Akira approached Himiko and began to advance towards the exit, the guards intercepted his advance and began to throw blows at him, a guard on the right launched a kick towards him his legs, a guard in front used an electric club to hit him aimed at his head and finally the guard on the left began to form again those sticky mud balls that had been thrown at them before.
Akira made a decision in a blink of an eye and thus grabbed the leg of the guard on the right with his hands and redirected the club allowing it to hit him on the shoulder that, although he electrocuted him after all the torture sessions he believed he had obtained some kind of immunity towards electricity.
As if he were catching a baseball bat, he lifted the guard on the right and threw it towards the guard on the left, knocking down the 2 guards in a show of great force that surprised the guard with the club, who saw that the blow he had hit on the shoulder had already healed.
Widening his eyes in surprise, he couldn't avoid the kick aimed at his chest that sent him flying backward, leaving him on the ground. Akira kept moving while looking at the back, where he looked at Himiko who was taking some hits but still managed to keep away the 3 guards who had tried to attack from behind him. Akira leaped towards them and gave a flying kick to the guard closest to Himiko making room for her to group with him.
"Come on, we have to run fast or we-"
Without him being able to finish speaking, Akira saw a large number of guards arrive that surrounded them.
"Shit, we were too slow."
*Clap* *clap* *clap*
"Surprising, I must say that I did not expect that they were pretending until now and even more that they will try to escape, hahahaha, but even so, it is time to finish this game and for them to return to their rooms, tomorrow awaits a very long and special their treatment session, so that they learn what happens if they do something wrong, especially daring to use those disgusting quirks" the one who spoke was Dr. Tenichi who had arrived with the other guards.
Akira hearing it, could imagine what would await the two of them once they are arrested.
"Since you're taking us to the corner, I'd rather die trying to escape here than suffer that torment again" with that said, his eyes showed a predatory glint making the guards retreat momentarily.
Akira looks at Himiko and after seeing her nod and realizing that she would follow him no matter what, he lunged towards the guards completely abandoning his defense, fully focusing on attacking as he blazed his way through the guards.
"Quickly defeat them without hurting them, they are important to my research" Dr. Tenichi ordered his guards when he saw Akira advance.
Using nails and teeth, he throws blows to all sides, receiving several blows to his body at the same time, but taking advantage of his regeneration he continued to advance while his claws continued to cut those who will cross, his arms completely stained with the blood of others, his body bruised, with several cuts and wounds continues to advance, stopping just inches from the door.
Because he could feel with their connection that Himiko couldn't hold out much longer because even though he was leading the way receiving most of the blows and attacks, Himiko was still receiving blows from the rear, and right at this moment she received the blow of the guard who had wished I was resting today.
Smith came from the rear and threw a punch at Himiko which when reinforced with his bone-hardening quirk made him incredibly hard and caused Himiko to almost pass out when he hit her stomach leaving her lying on the floor unable to move due to lack of air.
Akira obviously wouldn't abandon Himiko, so he turned around and confronted Smith, despite being hurt from the constant fighting, Akira was thinking clearly.
'Hufff, obviously I'm not going to be able to beat him, his quirk is strong, he has more experience fighting and more importantly, I don't have time to do it' making a decision, he watched as Smith approached him.
Akira saw how a fist was quickly heading to his face, so he ducked, but a knee kick awaited him that he had to block with his 2 arms, due to the strong impact Akira felt his bones splinter, his muscles were torn, but he still managed to stay in place.
Ignoring the pain he formed a blade with his hand which he brandished towards Smith's waist, this leaping back trying to dodge the blow, but at that moment Akira withdrew and grabbed Himiko who was still recovering.
"TENICHI !, DAMN OLD MAN, SON OF A BITCH, THE NEXT TIME WE SEE YOU WILL BE YOUR END!"
'Tsk, I didn't want to resort to this, since it's just a theory of mine, but I guess it's the last ace up my sleeve I have available, this move is an imitation of Deku's control over One For All, along with a technique very special movement, I hope it works'
Akira began to pump his legs with large amounts of blood, swelling and turning red, with bulging veins.
Stomping on the ground making it break into a spider web and disappear from where he was, reappearing meters away from his Original location, outside the institute and the fence of guards that had them surrounded, with another stomp it disappears again and appears even further away, thus it continues to move and in a few seconds it has disappeared from the sight of all those present.
The guards and even more so Dr. Tenichi are surprised by the turn of events.
"W-what kind of moves were those, was that a quirk, can he teleport?" Asked a random guard.
"No, it was more like he was moving at incredible speeds, that must have been super speed" comments a different guard.
'H-how ... How is it possible, his quirk should only be able to improve his strength, it should not allow him to do something like that, it's not only that, the claws he had, in addition to the regenerative factor, are things that were not said In his report, that damn old her Nyoko didn't give me all the information.
No, no, it's not that, it's just that the quirk registration machine did not identify these abilities, damn, now we lost our 2 best test subjects, I can't lose them, I must get them back' Dr. Tenichi was furious due to the loss of such important subjects, for the future that he sought to build. So without giving up he yelled at all the assembled guards.
"WHAT THEY'RE DOING, THERE ARE STOPPED, LOOK FOR THEM DAMN USELESS, DON'T LET THEM ESCAPE, I DON'T THINK THEY CAN USE THAT SPEED FOR A LONG TIME."
With that, the guards that could still move started up and began to move in search of the 2 fugitive children.
