The wealthier suburb of Mustufu was comparatively quiet compared to the bustling streets of downtown. It was mostly residential, a place where people were only there for a reason. Patrolling heroes, residence or civilians heading to or from the centre of the city. A lot of the houses were second homes, left empty most of the year. It was quiet and secluded. The perfect place for a shakedown.
The banker's house was large, a sprawling mansion among others like it. It was lavish, obviously owned by someone who could flaunt a lot of cash. Gauss smirked as he looked up at it, standing before the locked gates and flanked by two yakuza lackies. He cracked his neck from one side to the other, and reached out a hand.
"Okay. Let's do this!"
The gate, now magnetised, was torn from the wall. Gauss walked towards the house, slowly and purposefully, tossing the metal bars to one side. The front door was no obstacle either, as he thrust his metal arm right through.
Anyone watching from outside would see him and his lackies enter... then a yell of horror quickly cut off followed.

A peaceful day for a peaceful soul. The lackadaisical Hihoshi lived for these moments where there was nothing but herself and the quiet breeze of nature. U.A. was a place of learning and had its own quiet places. To Hihoshi, however,there was an even quieter spot; away from distractions. The first thing that came to mind was knowing when and where her classes were starting and how they were just a stone's throw away. Secondly, some of the students stood out and caught her attention way too easily such as Miyuki and Umi. Hard not to notice a fella smiling all the time and a gal as big as Umi? She could watch them both all day! Aw heck. Even thinking about them was a distraction.
Enough to pull away and hear a yell that was cut off short. She rose up from her reclined position on a relatively close knoll and turned her head to a place her long ears picked up the noise.
She paused. Don't those big fancy places have a gate in front of it? She looked slightly to the side. Ayup. There it was. Busted right off. Mmmmm someone was busting in. Maybe they forgot their keys? Password? She snorted lightly. Don't be dumb, girl. It's a rich folk place. They have stuff to steal. They're getting robbed. She slipped her hands into her overalls as she kicked herself up off the ground and slid down the knoll.
As she touched the bottom, she lightly trotted over to the entrance. Would Eichiro approve? Students weren't really ones to fight but her brother would definitely give her an earful if she turned her back to a crime like this.
Hihoshi smiled lightly, showing a bit of her teeth as a shrill, attention-getting whistle pierced through the air. She used this particular whistle alot when herding and it was rather hard to ignore.
"Awright, you burglars. Clear out and empty yer pockets! Don'tcha know stealin's just downright criminal?"
She issued her rather reserved warning with a smile and flick of her tail.

The whistle did a good job in attracting the attention of the two henchmen. Their hands went to the guns by their side, but a command stopped them from reacting. They held their position, flanking the front door to the house, as Gauss emerged again. A much smaller man was gripped in his metal hand. He cocked his head as he stared down at the young girl before him.
"Eh? What's this little pony doing here? Do you fancy yourself a hero, huh, kid?"
He lifted the man with ease off the ground, grinning at Hihoshi as he did so. He shrugged his shoulders, as if this was a perfectly normal situation.
"I ain't here to burgle anything. This guy? He's the baddie in this situation. Owes my boss a lotta money... so if ya don't like burglars or criminals, you should just let me do my job and... deal with him in my own way."

The student cocked her head as he spoke, nodding accordingly. She yawned then looked to the forced open gates in on the ground then to the walls they were once attached to. "Owing money and not paying back isn't good, you got that right." she clicked her tongue and gestured to the damages done to the gate. "Breaking and entering though...that's not right either. Two wrongs don't make a right and now who's gonna pay for this poor gate? It didn't hurt nobody." she frowns and sighs. "Peaceful negotiations are always options, ya know? Innocent gates can be left out. And bodily harm too." she adds with a shrug.
She sizes up the lackies and the man clearly leading them. Looking positively relaxed, not at all shaken, the aspiring hero remains where she stands. "How about we discuss this like civilized folk?"

Gauss cocked his head to one side, as if he was listening to an unheard voice in his ear. He tossed the man to one of his goons, who took him in a rough armlock. Then Gauss grinned, taking a step towards Hihoshi.
"Are ya proposin' that you take this loser's place, huh? This ain't the time for kids to play heroics!"
With a graceful, flowing movement, Gauss drew his katana. Long and graceful, it shone in the sunlight. The edge danced dangerously sharp. This was no toy, but a tool of blood and death.
"I ain't here to get lectured by some wannabe Hero. Ya wanna step in? Fine. Don't come cryin' to yer momma when things get ugly."
