Hey, I am back for the umpteenth time... Glad to be back, to be honest. I got lots of time since I got fired, so I'm going back to writing (it's a passion after all), but I don't know if you, readers, would really like this story to continue. I mean, it's almost 5 years old now.
I don't want to delete this fic and repost it; it's a bit like cheating. Anyway, if you'd like to see more, please let me know. You have no idea how much your comments motivate authors.
Now, to the chapter!

"Oi! C'mon! Put yer back into it!"
"Can you chill…?"
"We're here to train! So, ya train! Harder! HARDER!"
At least she'd stopped aiming for his balls. That was progress.
Lately Rumi had been a walking hormonal ticking bomb… furious, horny, and stronger than ever, for better and for worse. One good fuck and she'd level out again. Until then, Felix had a narrow window where she was basically supercharged.
He had a few weeks left to milk that for all it was worth.
"Yer kicks are weaker and slower than a month ago…" Rumi sighed with a hint of worry. "Ya good?"
"Just overworked. You know how it is."
"... There's really nothin' we can do to help? I mean... four jobs at once is..."
"I'll live. You should worry about yourself. You struggle to control yourself since I gave you the chastity thingy, right? Heard you put two villains in the hospital the other day. News is painting you as a nasty scumbag."
"Tch! As if I give a shit what those desk-riding journo-bitches think!" She grumbled, stopping the exchange of blows with Felix. "All they do is sit on their asses and tell others what they should do or not do. Fuck 'em."
"Eh." Felix smirked… Her accent always thickened when she was pissed. "Shouldn't have brought it up, huh?"
"Those two assholes deserved worse than a hospital stay…"
"Assholes, huh. You're still saying that about me sometimes."
"Yeah." She stepped closer, ears twitching. "Funny, innit? Why am I still saying that about ya, huh? Really, what a damn fuckin' mystery… Asshole. ASSHOLE. ASSHOLE!"
"A bit of respect, Miss Usagiyama." He chortled, flicking her bunny tail. "You're speaking to a guy that's a medic, a nurse intern, a spy, and a gigolo. My fourth job has been forced upon me, however... Since I need to be there to fuck your brain out, or else you'll have another temper tantr—"
"Don't ya even dare say ANOTHER word!" Throwing him to the ground, she blocked his neck with her thighs and started "suffocating" him. "Since when a FUCKIN' gigolo forgets to fuck his bitch for more than two FUCKIN' weeks, HUH?! EXPLAIN!"
"Gck—! Y-Yeah… Indeed. Too bad you have a chasti—"
"You fuckin' asshole…!"
"It had to be done for the better good—"
"Shaddap!"
"Hey… Calm down—!"
"FIGHT ME OR FUCK ME!"
"Geez… Your pheromones are enticing and all, but you know, I'm more inclined to fuck someone more… feminine—!"
"NOW YA HAD IT COMIN'!"
Using a good deal of her strength, she put him in a triangle choke with her legs as he resisted with both hands.
Given her state, even his toned body and hormones had trouble overthrowing hers. Only meta-hormones had an effect, but her horny mind fought against it. Or, more so, her metabolism was so full of luteinizing hormones, estradiol, and testosterone that it was almost on par with his.
Stealing these hormones was perfect. Given it's basically animal hormones—in high concentration—throwing that into another woman will do wonders if it's ever needed.
And it will be needed. He already knew that. No way the HPSC will ever go gentle into that good night.
Until he fuck her brain out, he'll stockpile Rumi's hormones. He knew that storing them in his glands for too long could turn them into the glands of a horny rabbit, but hey...
Still, he had to fight her back—even if none of them fought seriously.
Adrenaline and endorphin numbed her pain, so he slammed her into the wall and then the mat. Now on the ground, Rumi snapped him into a triangle choke, smothering his face against her abs.
"C'mon! Tap out!"
"…"
Fighting against her legs was pointless, so he shoved her knee aside and twisted her hips with his free elbow.
That gave him just enough space to slip his left arm free and lightly jab her throat. She flinched, her hold loosening a bit… Seeing this, he scrambled to his feet despite still being choked. Sliding an arm under her thigh, he broke free, hoisted her up, and slammed her onto the mat.
"—Fuck!!"
Using her own meta-hormone boost, Felix pounced on her and locked her neck in a chokehold.
Even after nearly a minute without air, Rumi struggled and managed to put her feet to the ground despite being shorter, and used what breath she had left to jump as hard as she could with Felix still clinging to her. Her leap hammered both their heads into the metal ceiling, bending it, before they crashed four meters back onto the mat.
The impact of their bodies echoed inside the training room.
"Ugh..."
"Fuckin' hell..."
Frowning, Rumi jumped back to her feet, ready to kick Felix once again—
However, a few pepper bubbles appeared before them and popped. No way to escape sneezing and coughing.
"Enough," Kaoruko called, waving away the pepper scent. "You two are insane."
"Darn ya," Rumi grumbled, looking at Kaoruko with teary eyes. "Don't pepper-bubble me, dammit…"
"Want aphrodisiac ones instead?"
"Hahaha! Yeah, I'm sure she would prefer these ones, given how much of a freak she is—"
"SHADDAP!"
"Anyway…" Kaoruko smiled as she stretched her body. "Thanks for the spar. Training with you lunatics actually works."
"It's intense training, so of course, you're gonna progress faster."
"A bit too intense sometimes... Seriously… Are you two alright? You hit your heads pretty hard."
"I'm good." Felix and Rumi answered in unison before looking at each other with a smile. "Damn."
"Well, you don't stretch?"
"We're goin' to. Felix's gonna gimme a hand."
"I don't think I will—"
"Ya're gonna give me a hand."
"Alright, alright, chill."
Mirko and Bubble Girl. Their progress was remarkable. His hormonal boosts were better than before he was jailed. Plus, having heroines to work with allowed him to cross-boost them, enhancing their overall results.

From what he remembered, Rumi was also boosted by her own set of passive skills, if you can call it that, like [Bunny Zoomie] and [Insatiable Desire], two things that allowed her to fight even harder, especially if horny and sex-hungry.
Kaoruko lacked her quirk awakening for this to happen. He might need to fuck her brain out, too, for it to happen, but he doubted he could trigger this type of mutation this easily by just releasing tons of feel-good and sex hormones.
"So, it's been a month now," Kaoruko said while inserting a ticket into the vending machine to get everyone a drink. "How is it? Working at UA?"
"More fun than expected. Chill, even."
"Oh. By the way, how was the school festival? I got invited by Nighteye's trainee, but I had to meet with Wash..."
"Don't remember much. Spent it in the infirmary with Recovery Girl. One support-course kid blew up half a lab. Fourteen injured. It was because of… Bibimi or something."
"Classic support course... Destroying stuff," Rumi scoffed, drinking her carrot juice. "Always unaware of their surroundings."
"I do remember someone, though. A chick with long blue hair dressed in a tight white dress."
"Ugh…!" Rumi clicked her tongue as Kaoruko sighed and rolled her eyes. "Of course, ya remember that!"
"Yeah… Of course he does. I'm not even surprised anymore. Two chicks just ain't enough for this man."
"Darn him, stupid arsehole only thinks with his dick."
"Come on, now. You're one to talk."
"Shaddap!"
"Well, Felix isn't completely wrong... You're even worse than him sometimes..."
"Oi! Ya're supposed to be on my side!"
"She sucked my cock and fucked me in front of you, right? Is she really on your side?"
"F-Felix!"
"This fuckin' asshole...! Hit him! HIT HIM!"
"N-No... I don't wanna be cock-blocked, too..."
"Pussy! Ya're a pussy!"
"Whatever you say, Miss Mirko, you're still the only one who's grounded and can't fuck~."
"I already told ya to keep callin' me Rumi, dumbass!"
"After careful consideration, I don't think I will."
"Whateva…!" She muttered, walking away and talking to Kaoruko. "Let's take a shower, 'n let's get movin'…"
"Yup, let's do that," Kaoru answered, waving at Felix. "Go take a shower. You stink."
"Aight."
—Better getting clean and proper since I have to go there, too...
There. "There" was a place he never even thought he would end up; still, here he was.
It was unhoped for, but his efforts slowly paid off. However, to come here, you had to be either a hero or a guest; it applied to journalists or even politicians. It was an elitist gathering that only allowed those who were ready to work through the filter of Japan's hero society.
The place was huge. It was a press conference room with a large inner balcony overlooking the stage, where a lectern stood right in the middle.
It was basically a kind of indoor, modern amphitheater.
Hundreds of chairs were set up for heroes and their associates, while journalists, politicians, and business partners had to stand on the balcony. In the middle of it all, a red carpet splits the room in half from the main entrance to the stage.
On either side, bleachers filled with citizens who had paid to be there were there to watch the show and meet their favorite hero, while down below, the heroes settled in, sat, or chatted amongst themselves before the ceremony began.
"Well…" Kaoruko sighed as she pulled back her drenched umbrella. "I expected some rain, but we really got caught in a downpour."
"It's like taking a second shower."
"Right?" Kaoruko hummed with a playful smug. "I wouldn't be surprised if you'd like to see me shower naked in the rain."
"Wouldn't say no to fucking you while you do that."
"Of course. What was I expecting?"
"Hey, it wasn't my idea." Felix chuckled as he forced her head under his armpit. "Don't make me out to be a pervert."
"Ya're a pervert…! Damn pervert… I hate ya… I hate ya so much… Fuckin' hate ya… Curse ya… Damn ya…"
"…You good?"
"Y'know damn well why A'm like that! Remove it now!"
"No."
"Ya'll see…" Boiling, eyes half-crazed, Mirko clenched her fist so hard her knuckles popped. "Swear… beat… ya… up…"
"Yeah…?"
"Calm down, Rumi…" Kaoruko muttered, caressing her back. "Anyway… I've never been there since Nighteyes only gave invitations to other heroes further down the ranking, not to a sidekick… This feels like some kind of gala."
"W-Whateva… So, who gave ya an invitation, then?"
"Wash."
"So ya finally got what ya wanted, huh." Mirko sighed with an amiable smile before frowning at Felix. "Poor, despicable, and unwanted Mirko couldn't even invite anyone…"
"Ah…? I thought you invited Felix?"
"Nah, ain't me. A only found out yesterday when I checked my registration."
"I got invited by Recovery Girl."
"So that's why…" Kaoruko nodded, raising an eyebrow. "But… you weren't authorized to bring someone with you? That's weird…"
"That damn Commission removed this right from me two weeks ago without telling me…!"
"What…? But it's…"
They removed some of her rights as a hero… Well, it was in the contract she signed when she lost to Felix months ago, but still, something's fishy. She had signed for a month, not several. Then, it's highly likely they forced her into another deal.
As Mt. Lady said, governments can easily muzzle their "dogs."
—The impunity of illegality concealed behind the facade of legality… Damn, these guys are more corrupt than I am. I really need to up my game.
Walking toward Felix, a tall hero got his attention, stopping his musing.
"Ah… I suppose I should have expected to meet you here, Endeavor."
"Indeed. Even if I hate these events, this is something the top three heroes are forced to attend." He said monotonously, his arms crossed. "However, I didn't come to talk about our lives."
"…Yeah?"
"Given the performance of my sidekicks this last month after they worked with you, I'm now ready to work with you. The next time you come to my agency, we can talk about your paycheck."
Leaving without further ado, Endeavor joined the other heroes and blended into the crowd, but before Felix could even think about it, Kaoruko bumped his shoulder.
"Congratulations, no? You look a bit gloomy for someone who's gonna work a bit with the n°2."
"Could be a trap."
"A trap, huh…"
No more Hawks, no more dangerous forced labor, like when they wanted him to fight in the Underground Masquerade, no more annoying missions, just… boosting people. He could almost believe he was living something akin to an everyday life, but nah… beware of sleeping dogs.
Plus, they clearly opposed him working at UA, so their silence was rather strange.
Even if Recovery Girl had them in a chokehold, he was sure it wasn't enough to dissuade them…
—I'd rather not brood over that today… I'm due a bit of peace now and then, don't I?
After a moment's thought, Felix decided to do exactly what his girls were already doing. He grabbed a cocktail, then another, then another, and another…
After all, he needed a plausible alibi. At this point, even beers were welcome.
And since he couldn't actually get drunk, it was all okay.
That said, before he could start looking for the person he was really waiting for, someone else caught his eye: Mt. Lady. Kamui Woods was right beside her. The moment Felix approached, the guy turned away, giving him a deliberate cold shoulder.
"Hey, hey. How's it going— Ah…?"
Kamui didn't even glance back… he simply walked off.
Mt. Lady was less dramatic. She met Felix's eyes with a blank expression, lifted her champagne glass in a tin and silent salute, then turned and followed Kamui without a single word.
"Eh… What a lovely couple."
Sadly for them, a second later, the ringtone telling every hero to join their seats echoed, prompting them to come back and walk past him, avoiding his gaze. He was even a bit embarrassed for them, so he didn't taunt them.
—I'm not going to rock the boat for now… Better to join the girls sooner rather than later, anyway. Don't wanna look suspicious.
By the time everyone had sat down, he also had time to join Kaoruko and Rumi, who made room for him between them, though Kaoruko was more occupied talking with Wash. Today, she was more Bubble Girl than Kaoruko. This was one of her dreams, so he was happy for her.
Still, once everyone had settled down, everything came to a halt. Not even the crowd on the balcony made a noise, making the atmosphere heavy.
And the reason this Hero Billboard Chart JP was different and stranger than others was because of—
"Oi! Y'all, before you even think of acting like nothing happened, don't you think you should first address the Hawks' allegations?! We all know you're going to try to muddy the waters and talk about it as little as possible!"
"Yeah, he's right, it's a fiasco! Why hasn't he been arrested yet?!"
None of the heroes could see who was shouting, but it came from the balcony just behind them, on the journalists' wing.
"I will ask you to sit down." The President answered sternly behind the lectern. "I do believe there is already a press conference in a few days to address this issue, but as we already disclosed, there is no need to fret as our teams have already located him—"
"Bullshit!" Even without a microphone, the voice of this guy echoed all around. "You know nothing about his whereabouts! It is an open secret! Just use whatever means to fix this problem! It's an international disgrace! We're even mocked by weaker countries!"
"Your indignation is misplaced. It does not relate to the poor girls who were abused, but to your patriotism. This is the real disgrace. Now, please sit down."
The President's reply unleashed a wave of irritation throughout the entire room, but everyone decided to stay put for now. Some people had paid to be here, and all of that was also on TV.
"We cannot use underhanded tactics. The real disgrace would be to use the same methods as villains. Using perversity and corruption would be a stain on everyone's honor."
Scoffing quietly after hearing that, Felix hid his face in his hand, shaking his head, which made Mirko look at him and sent her into deep thought. Using perversity and corruption is dishonorable, huh?
As the President continues her speech, the atmosphere gradually goes back to normal, more relaxed and convivial. Probably ten or so minutes like that, until at the end of her sp—
"Kya—!" Looking at Felix, Mirko gritted her teeth, eyes half-horny. "Y-Ya…!"
"What? Don't tell me you're gonna lose to one of my "dumb toys"?"
"As if!"
"Such bravado, Miss Mirko." Clicking on something inside his pocket, the vibration speed of what she had between her legs increased. "Let's see how you get on."
"Y-Ya w-won't defeat m-me with this…"
"Haha! Oh yeah? Well, anyway… Looks like they're gonna call the top ten on stage now."
"Dammit…!"
Mirko squirmed in her seat, hips wiggling as she fought against the pink vibrator clamped firmly against her vulva and the second one buried deep inside her pussy.
Truth be told, she was holding up impressively well for someone whose body was screaming for sex, especially with her animalistic rut-driven needs. Felix was genuinely surprised at her resistance. He knew firsthand how brutal it was to stay in control when every instinct demanded release, so he respected her willpower… but it didn't mean he'd take pity on her.
This was payback for every time she'd kicked his balls… and also a way to have her do what he wants.
"In first place, All Might! Unbeatable for so many years now!"
Neither of them was really listening to the President. Mirko was far too busy trying not to moan, and Felix was waiting for something else entirely.
"In second place, Endeavor, as always!"
Part of him wondered why either of them had even shown up if what they actually wanted wasn't going to happen tonight.
"In third place, Best Jeanist! Fourth place, Edgeshot! And in fifth place, Yoroi Musha!"
Felix didn't bother clapping with the crowd. He felt like something would happen soon… Mirko seemed to feel it too. Rabbit instincts, maybe.
"Now, past the top five, we have some newcomers! In sixth, Crust, the Shield Hero."
Newcomers, huh? Wait…
"Then, in seventh, Shishida, the Lion Hero! Following, we have Gang Orca and Ryukyu!"
Wait… Wait, wait, wait, wait!
"And rounding out the top ten for the first time ever… the Rabbit Hero, Mirko!"
Rumi's face instantly paled. Heads swiveled. Applause erupted… No, no, no…! This is bad…! Sweat beaded across her forehead in seconds, her confident grin replaced by a twitching, panicked grimace.
"All top-ten nominees, please come to the stage."
She couldn't speak. Her legs trembled and she never felt this wet… She had never, not once, expected to crack the top ten this year. A few months ago the estimates had her at 14th… She'd even slipped to 16th after nearly killing two robbers.
Still, some analysts had predicted eleventh at best.
But then Hawks got stripped of his license… and the dominoes fell.
No… Since that estimate, Hawks had been ousted… and because of that… she had moved up one spot.
"F-Felix…" She whispered, forcing herself to stand like nothing was wrong. "T-Turn 'em off… please…"
"…No, but I'm gonna put them at minimum speed."
"Grrr… Ya damn—!"
Containing an insult, she sighed. She closed her eyes, feeling the vibration slow down… It was basically a maddening type of foreplay for her, but… the slower movements were enough for her to think straight. Shoulders squared, she walked toward the red carpet and headed for the stage. Fortunately, even if her hero costume was skimpy, the chastity device was thin and well hidden.
Still, to someone who knew how she normally was, it was clear she walked weirdly.
While all this was happening, the signal he had been waiting for manifested…
A message on his phone. It buzzed.
"With the new top 10 heroes by our side, we have already planned a lot of new things. As you already know—"
Felix didn't care much for what the President had to say. He was only here because he owed Kaoruko a favor after she'd smoothed the way for him to have his way with Mei.
And yeah, he just recently managed to find another use for his presence here, so he wasn't here to listen to some sleep-inducing hero speech.
The microphone traveled down the line of heroes. The instant it reached Mirko's trembling fingers and she started speaking, Felix slid his hand into his pocket and cranked both vibrators to full blast.
Instantly, poor Rumi's eyes widened… Her thighs twitched, desperate to press together… but once again, that willpower allowed her to lock her knew and somehow managed to stay upright. Her voice cracked mid-sentence, which drew the attention of absolutely everyone. No one ever saw her like that.
—Sorry, Rumi… but your little moment of weakness is the perfect smokescreen…
He wasn't too particularly proud, but thanks to her embarrassment, he had a window of opportunity.
"Hey…" Kaoruko whispered beside him, nudging his arm. "Where do you think you're going?"
"Gotta take a leak."
"Ah…" She rolled her eyes. "I told you to ease up on the beer."
"And I never listen. You know that by now."
"Stubborn ass."
"Part of my charm."
"That's not the part I love." She sighed, arms folding… still, the corner of her mouth perked up. "So cocky sometimes."
"Yep, that's me."
"The toilets are up there." Kaoruko jerked her chin toward the restrooms and turned back to her conversation with Wash, who shot Felix a quick, curious glance.
"Thanks."
Well, then. Showtime.
Felix slipped out of the row and walked away. Once under the balcony, it was basically impossible to see him from the stage. Too many people sitting around, and also a bit too dark. Knowing he was pretty secure here despite the few CCTV cameras, he still took the phone Mei made for him and pressed a small button before finally reaching the men's room.
Pushing the door open, he walked in, waiting for something, until he heard three little knocks.
"Tremblay is here."
"Goodness me! I was almost starting to fall asleep."
"Sorry, I was waiting for good timing."
A click from the far stall.
The door swung open, revealing a grinning woman with lilac hair and pale blue skin: Chitose Kizuki, better known as Curious, the journalist whose personal information Manami had hacked.
The lady leaned forward, showing her cleavage with an eager and curious expression.
"So, Mr. Tremblay… shall we finally talk business?"
