Chapter 44: Heroes and Awakening
__________ POV Beru__________
As I stood around Shigaraki and waited, a few of the heroes came towards me. That and, a strange white rat looking fellow.
Is he a rat though? Or is he a bear? Hmmm...
"Am I a mouse? A dog? A Bear? The answer is..." He came closer to introduce himself to me.
Who thinks he looks like a dog though? I can't really see the resemblance at all.
"I am Nezu, the principal." He raised his hands dramatically. Umm, that didn't really answer any of the questions that he put or that were on my mind. But whatever, I'll roll with it.
"I'm Beru~ Certified insect man and couch potato~" I can't really think of a more formal way to introduce myself, to be honest.
He just looked at me for a bit, the smile on his face not disappearing at all. The rest of the teachers gave the two of us a blank stare.
A weird-looking guy, I think he's just a square or something. Raised the ground around All Might and started creating a barrier between him and the students.
I guess he needs to make his way out of here without the student's noticing something's wrong? I mean, they are all somewhat fixated on me and the teachers now anyway.
"That's a strange introduction! Nice to finally meet you though!" Like you're one to talk. Hmmm, maybe I should also start introducing myself as he does?
'Am I an ant? A man? A T-Rex? The answer is... I am Beru!' Hmm, something's missing. I guess it's not exactly correct since I didn't use that dinosaur quirk at all since I got it.
I just forgot about it honestly. And the novelty of it kinda vanished at some point...
"Great to meet you~" I bent down a bit and shook his small hand... paw? I'll go with paw.
"Well then... Mind telling us what exactly you are waiting for here? I believe we should know such things." He finally got to the point. Technically, the fight might happen on his turf.
He should evacuate the place properly in advance.
"Waiting for Shigaraki over here to either get teleported away or for All for One to come here.~" The first scenario is the most likely to happen.
This is why I've seeped some portal mist into his stomach. I can teleport wherever All for One takes him, I just need to manipulate it properly.
"All for One... I wasn't expecting to hear that name here." He said in a sombre tone. He looked quite serious all of a sudden.
I guess he is somewhat famous. Or used to be anyway. He's been inactive for a long time now, at least from what I've observed.
I also never heard anyone on the streets talking about him. Which is strange, but I guess he was more of a 'behind the scenes' type.
"This 'All for One' fellow... Does he have multiple quirks?" He asked cautiously. Some of the teachers were also having similar reactions to his.
"Yea~ He's pretty strong~ I can take care of him though~," I said in a confident tone.
"So, he was the one that captured you?" Asked the bondage lady, I just nodded my head a few times.
"Me and a few other kids~ One of them being the 'Nomu' that I was fighting before you all showed up~," I said with a simple tone.
I do have some time on my hands before All for One realises something is wrong and teleports his successor away.
"What's a Nomu? If you don't mind me asking..." The one talking this time is the Scarf hero with yellow goggles.
"Engineered monsters with multiple quirks~ I am also one, kind of~" I won't really go into detail about my situation though. I don't see any point in doing so.
I spoke some more to the teachers and the principal. The students were already taken outside for a paramedic crew to check for any injuries.
Toga was also checked upon by them and healed for a few minor injuries. Healing quirks look damn fine not gonna lie.
Then I stared at the ground, as I noticed some white substance come out of Shigaraki's mouth.
Shigaraki vomited a lot of that white substance, it swallowed him up and teleported him away. This is the most likely situation not gonna lie.
Good thing I prepared for this. I guess I should follow after him too.
"That would be my queue to leave~ Can you take care of Toga for a bit~," I said as I raised Toga by the shoulders and put her in front of me.
She looked a bit confused as she was being manhandled, but she'll get over it.
I could teleport her somewhere, but I don't want her causing any trouble. What if she goes around stabbing people or something?
I mean, I wouldn't care all that much, but I do want to live legally at some point. And since she's already attached to me, I'll have to make her live legally as well.
If possible anyway. She seems to be quite bloodthirsty in nature. (kinda like me)
Otherwise, I guess I'll just flee the country or something. I'm not going to jail anyway, I'm still a minor and have been ever since the beginning of my 'career'.
Legally, there isn't really all that much I can do in order to defend myself. The public will defend me as soon as my identity comes out.
Especially the mutant quirk community. They are probably going to riot in the streets if I face any jail time.
"Do you need any assistance? The person you are about to face is extremely dan-" Nezu's nice, but I have to turn him down.
"That's nice of you~ But I've been preparing for this day for years~ I don't need any assistance now~," I said as I waved at the heroes a bit.
"But the fight will most likely happen in Hosu City~ I recommend you sound the alarms for that~," I said as a black mist rose around me and slowly engulfed me.
"Hey! What about me!? I can take care of myself!" As expected, Toga also wants to come, but she's not really strong enough to help.
Rather, she'd be more of a burden than anything... I'll avoid telling her that though. It would be a bit mean of me.
"Don't worry~ It won't take me long~," I said as I disappeared from the high school grounds. The heroes looked a bit hesitant to let me come here alone.
But I didn't give them much time to talk about it. I mean, most of them would only become casualties if they come.
I arrived in a dimly lit room. Shigaraki was on the ground behind me, still not conscious.
All for One was sitting on a chair, his back turned to me. He's wearing a strange mask with tubes running all over it.
He's... Weak? Why is he so pathetic? He looks so much weaker than he was before... Maybe it's just my imagination?
"It took me a while to realize... That you were up to no good. But it was already far too late. It seems I must take care of you myself." He slowly got up.
Does he think he's intimidating to me or something? I mean, I would take this a lot more seriously if he was not in 'this' state.
"EvErYone ThaT yOu ReliEd On iS DEAD!~ Do YoU ThInK yoU cAn bEaT mE?~" I said in a distorted voice. I am not expecting to intimidate this guy with it. But I feel that it's the most appropriate.
This is also the voice I had when I told him that he would die a few years back.
All for One just let off a burst of maniacal laughter. "HAHAHA! Do you truly think any of that matters? So what if they've died?"
I think I can guess the cause of his confidence...
"I will just gain new subordinates. But you, you on the other hand will have to die here!"
He still thinks I'm a bit weaker than All Might... He thinks he can so easily get rid of me.
I guess the next moments are going to serve as a rude awakening for him~.
