If you see any mistakes, feel free to write. I'll fix it.

--------------------------

Toga Himiko was a girl with a rather twisted character. She had a friendly, lively, cheerful, and bright personality, but she also loved things very much. One of them, and the largest, was blood.

Drinking blood was a passion and pleasure for the Toga. The sickening iron taste of blood to others was as good to her as the tastiest juice, and the intense taste of blood was more satisfying than the tastiest food.

Everyone found this feature disgusting and avoided her as much as possible. Even her family pressured her to be more "normal" because she liked the taste of blood. As a child, Toga clearly remembered how disgusted and strange they were when she told her parents that the blood of the bird she had found tasted good.

Despite all this, Toga couldn't let go of the delicious taste of blood. Her family or other people couldn't understand how delicious the blood was.

Still, Toga tried to be more "normal". After that day, she hid her desire to drink blood from everyone, even from her family. She did so well that some of the students at the school described her as a "cheerful and well-behaved" girl.

One day there was a fight at school. A young man named Saito and a young man whose name Toga does not remember had a big fight. Due to the violence of the fight, both sides were quite battered, but Saito was battered more because he was weaker than his opponent.

At that moment, Toga's heart pounded violently. Her emotions were high, and she couldn't take her eyes off Saito. Toga's suppressed emotions, her pure heart who had never felt anything like this before, though it was her falling in love with Saito at first sight.

That was not the case. She simply suppressed and restrained her hunger and desire for blood so much that when she finally saw so much blood all at once, her heart started beating fast like a lover seeing her lover again, and her body was burning with desire.

However, Toga, who was not educated about such issues and was not close enough to talk to her family about them, considered these feelings as love and began to develop a distorted sense of love.

The sense of love that Toga develops made her fall in love with men who were completely worn out, covered in blood, and beaten instead of masculine, heroic and brave like normal girls or who were funny, candid, and could make her heart beat violently.

After falling in love with Saito for a while, she couldn't contain herself any longer and cut a wound on him with a utility knife and drank his blood with a straw. She was then involved in several murders and became a wanted criminal.

After becoming a criminal, she lived a life of fugitive and one day met Stain. His condition that day could not be compared to Saito's. The blood on him stuck to him like a second piece of skin. The wounds on his body were so bad that his skin was forcibly peeled off, revealing the bone underneath.

That day Toga fell in love once again. She was burning with the desire to kill him and drink his blood. In the past, his obsessive and twisted love has grown even more and has evolved into a desire to "become" the person she loves.

She was in love until that night. She was looking forward to the day she met Stain, the day she stabbed and killed him, the day she would drink his blood to the last drop.

But everything had changed that day. Toga's feelings had changed.

She hadn't been interested in Blake at first. To her, Blake was nothing more than a hero to kill, more handsome than the others. At least that's what she thought at first.

One punch, the thing that turned her whole world upside down and completely changed her feelings was just one punch.

When Blake was surrounded by them, he took a step forward and punched Muscular in the chest, dodging each of their successive attacks. It was a plain fist, and there didn't seem to be any strength behind it, but when the fist touched Muscular's chest, a dent appeared in his chest.

Blood gushed from Muscular's mouth, painting the ground and Blake's arm red. Rather than being caused by a dented fist in Muscular's chest, it looked like it had been made with a hammer. It would have been very difficult for them to believe it if they had not seen it with their own eyes.

The punch may have been thrown at the Muscular, but each of them felt the impact. Toga's mind in particular was shaken with the punch.

Toga was shocked at that moment. The image she admired was revealed with a single punch. A beaten, bruised, bloody image similar to that of the two men she had fallen in love with had been uncovered by Blake with a punch.

Another punch and Dabi landed. Another and Mustard were on the ground. Then another one and the other fell. Those who rose back from the ground were being lowered by another punch.

The blood continued to float into the air like thousands of tiny birds. Like ants headbutting a rock, the team of villains vainly try to beat Blake, but they fall to the ground at the end of a punch.

Toga just stood there, watching what was going on. Her heart was pounding violently with each of his fists. Blake was becoming irresistible and tempting in her eyes, her desire to drink his blood increasing.

It was just a punch that could reveal the image she loved. It was a bloody sight, but the blood did not belong to Blake. Those who were beaten were Blake's enemies. Toga's twisted love logic changed once again, and she fell in love with Blake.

Blake could reveal everything she loved. He did it anyway, albeit in a slightly different way, and in that case, it was "normal" for Toga to fall in love with him.

When it was finally her turn, she had given herself up to Blake without resistance. He could have killed her, almost certain to do so with his cold personality. But he didn't care. If he dies, so be it.

Did She love him enough to die at Blake's hands? No, Toga had just met him, and no matter how twisted her logic of love was, not even she could reach such a level. Then why? For her purposes.

Toga had a bad habit of wanting to kill those she loved. She didn't know exactly why, but according to her, it was very romantic to kill the person she loved, to pierce it with her knife and die at her hands. [EN: Yanderes are scary.]

But she couldn't do that. Even if she met Killer Stain, she would run at him with her knife and try to kill him, but she couldn't do that to Blake because Blake had the power to kill her with a single punch.

Toga could have been a girl with a twisted personality, an irrational mindset, and momentary movements, but she wasn't too stupid to see the truth in front of her. She knew Blake could take her out with one punch.

So she decided to take a different approach. Instead of attacking directly, as she normally does, she decided to use a tactic she had learned in the past and achieve her goal differently.

She remembered from her classmates at school how much their lovers loved them when they were obedient and did what they wanted. When they were good and obedient, the other party did their best to pamper them.

Toga would do just that. Well and obediently she would listen to Blake's words and, when the time came, he would give her his blood with his hands. Maybe even let her kill him. It would be great if that happened.

It's the perfect plan. At least that's what Toga thought.

"You're starting to attract girls just by your presence." Momo sneered, covering her mouth with her hand and chuckling. What she had just heard made Momo see the limits of his charm.

The duo listened to Toga's distorted thoughts past for 15 minutes. Toga had told them in all its nakedness about her distorted thoughts and the disgusting things she had done in her life, without hiding a single thing because Blake had asked her to tell him.

While Blake remained emotionless, Momo was disgusted by what she heard. She knew she couldn't blame young Toga, probably because her Quirk had altered and distorted her senses of taste that had all started. What a pleasure and desire to drink juice was to them, blood was to the Toga, and no one could blame her for that.

The effect of Quirks on the person and their effects on the person's psychological or daily life movements were not fully explored even at the time they were found. Scientists and experts on Quirk have started researching them, but without a real experiment, it was not possible to conclude.

But they couldn't do that either. Experimenting on humans was marked as taboo by the hero's, and there was a possibility that pro-heroes would intervene if they did.

As a result of all this, it became difficult to know how Quirks affect the person, their psychology, and their actions.

Momo thought that Toga's desire to drink blood was due to his Quirk. At least, in the beginning, it was, but as the Toga grew and his logic developed, it turned from a desire and instinct rather to a conscious act.

That's where Momo's disgust stemmed from. Along with the feeling of disgust, there was great hostility and anger towards the Toga. Her heart was pumping fire like a hot stove as she thought of the innocent people Toga had brutally killed.

Still, she restrained herself and continued to joke with Blake. She knew Blake wasn't thinking with his lower body, he hadn't taken the Toga with him just because she was a bit pretty and cute. He probably had a plan for it. When he finished his plan, he would cast her aside or send her to prison.

"Looks like someone's asking for punishment tonight." Blake moved his arm around Momo's waist slightly and cupped her hips, his fingers digging into her soft skin. It made Momo's cheeks turn red and wobble.

"I'll want it."

"Shut up."

"Ok~".

Toga happily waved her hand and offered as walked behind the two of them. But she was silenced by Blake's words.

Although Toga was brutally silenced by Blake, she didn't seem to care. She folded her hands behind her back and began to watch as she bounced.

Blake sighed tiredly.

In the end, he decided to take Toga with him. Leaving it alone could cause undesirable things to happen. There was a possibility that the Toga could kill or injure the students.

He knew this wouldn't happen to Blake, but Momo didn't. She was worried that Toga would hurt her friends. Blake couldn't just tell Momo about Lilith, reincarnation, and stuff. He didn't want Momo to question her identity problem or her creation. He took the girl with him so that Momo wouldn't worry.

He was going to send her to prison when he was done here.

Step by step they walked to the end of the path. The hurried voices and shouts pierced the howling of the wind and reached the trio's ears. The sound of the groundbreaking apart could be heard, the sound of stones splashing around echoed. Few people were fighting mercilessly.

Blake, Momo, and Toga finally got off the trail and came to where the teachers were fighting.

Pixie-Bob was lying unconscious on the floor, covered in blood. Blood was constantly flowing from her head, causing a shallow pool of blood to form on the ground. Right next to her was the weapon owned by one of the villains fighting, which injured Pixie-Bob.

Mandalay and Tiger were in a fight with the villain. Their fierce battle was balanced enough to end in a single mistake by anyone. If they hesitated or made mistakes, they could be taken down or killed.

"At least let me get my weapon-" Magne was fighting a fierce fistfight with Tiger. He could only block his attacks as he focused on his combat-style weapon, but still blocked all of Tiger's punches.

He knew that as long as he had his weapon, he could end this war. He understood his opponent's power level and could take him down with a solid attack. All he had to do was reach for his weapon.

After he took it down, he would help Spinner and meet up with the others.

Magne did not think well about this operation at first. Blake's actions that night had affected him the most, and he had planted a great fear in him. He didn't want to go into an operation involving him.

Dabi's plan had barely convinced him. However, he was still reluctant. He was worried that Blake would come out on one side and hunt him down. Fortunately, nothing like this had happened.

As time passed, he regained his self-confidence and the will to fight. And after 15 minutes, he was back to his old self. Fear had taken hold in his heart, but he knew that Blake would not be involved, or at least not mess with him, and he was acting like he used to.

While he was fighting the man, he was looking for an opportunity to get his weapon. He blocked the comeback by aligning both arms in front of him and took a sideways glance to confirm that his gun was there.

But when he did, he saw Blake and two other girls. He accidentally made eye contact with Blake.

Blake's indifferent expression began to look like a devil's smile to him. He hadn't moved since entering the area, but in Magne's eyes, he seemed to be raising his fist and intending to punch him.

No! He didn't want to taste that punch again. He should have gotten out of here.

"Ahhhhh" With a big roar, he surprised his opponent and weakened his attack. He punched the man in the chest, took a few steps back, and started to run. At the same time, he took something out of his pocket and threw it into the air.

It was a firework-like item, similar in use. Since there was no such thing in the operation, Dabi would understand his intentions and take it as a signal that Blake had attacked.

"Stupid, what are you doing!?" Spinner swung his sword to slit Mandalay's throat. When the woman jumped back, he turned to Magne and shouted.

However, Magne was not in a position to listen to him. He continued to scream in fear and disappeared into the trees. Magne clicked his tongue, gave a reluctant glance at Tiger and Mandalay, jumped up, and followed Magne.

Blake glanced at Magne, who had run after him, and Spinner, who had been running after him. He thought for a while before following them.

"You are strong enough to beat anyone here, you are free to do what you want. If something happens, get self-confidence immediately. I have something to do." Blake quickly kissed Momo's lips. He took the Toga with him and began sprinting at high speed through the woodland before following behind Magnet and Spinner.

"Ok." Momo started running to where Mandalay and the others were.

Fireworks lit up the night sky, attracting everyone's attention. Students 1-A and 1-B could not understand what this meant. Did one of his opponents have a Quirk that made him spawn Fireworks?

This gesture, which seemed meaningless to the students, had meaning for the LOV. Blake was on the move.

The group did not have a common signal that could inform each other. They were not in a position to prepare anything, as their plans changed shape at the last moment. So if Blake took action, they would try to notify the others as best they could.

This signal belonged to Magne. Before starting the operation, he had made it clear to everyone that he was going to shoot the fireworks he took from his car.

L.O.V members immediately dropped what they were doing and turned to Dabi's location to come together.

For the most part, they achieved their goal. Compress had captured their targets. They needed to get out of their current situation and unite, and they could leave from here.

Nearly poking a hole in Yosetsu's chest, Nomu stopped at the command and began rushing to Dabi's position. Behind him was Yosetsu, who dropped to the ground in bewilderment and sat on his butt.

While the L.O.V members came together, 1-A students, who got rid of their surprise, started to come together. Especially, Midoriya, whose arms have a purple hue and are unusable, squeezed himself and followed Compress with the help of his friends.

Compress had taken his friends captive, and he couldn't just leave him alone and let him do what he wanted. He had to save Bakugo and the others.

Blake was following Magne and Spinner in the middle of all this. Magne was screaming, staggering, and stumbling now and then. He ignored Spinner, who yelled at him to stand behind him and started running to Dabi's territory.

As for how he knew that he guessed he was there because of the blue flame.

And his thought was correct, Dhabi was located a few meters north of the area where the blue flames were located. If they changed course a little, they could meet him.

Blake didn't need them anymore. He suddenly increased his speed. The dark trees glowed with a faint white light.

Time seemed to slow down, Magne and Spinner running in slow motion. Their steps were snail-like and their mouths moved slowly. Blake suddenly appeared next to them and the next second, he opened them up and headed towards the area where Dabi was.

Dabi was the reason he followed them.

It didn't take long for Blake to arrive at the location of Dabi and the others. He climbed into the branch of a tree, and after placing the Toga next to him, began to watch what was going on.

Toga wanted to say something but stopped when she saw Blake's serious expression. If she was obedient and quiet here, she could earn credit from him. So she didn't say anything and started watching things like Blake.

In the area under the tree, Dabi and the L.O.V group were aligned in a circle, looking around and seemed to be waiting for something. Nomu stood motionless before them, showing no sign of life. But the fact that he was right in front of them showed that he was protecting them.

Several students had gathered in front of the group, and more were still gathering.

Midoriya jumped Shoji's back. He looked terrible. His arms were covered in bandages and he was covered in bruises. His gaze was unclear, he almost looked like he was about to pass out. Despite all this, he kept himself going and looked fearlessly at L.O.V. members.

"Give back Bakugo… and the others..." Midoriya forced him clenched teeth loose and spoke. The pain he felt in his arms was unbearable. She was holding back from fainting. His senses were slowly numbing, he was losing sensation in his arms.

"Come and get it." Compress ran the two balls between his fingers. His mocking voice fueled the anger of the students. To anger them even more, he shook the blue beads so they could see.

Vhoş!!

With a gust of wind, angry flames appeared and illuminated the area. A wave of crescent-shaped flames headed for Compress's arm. The brutal attack was intended to sever the arm of the enemy in a way that the heroes of this world would not do.

But before it could do that, another wave of flame engulfed the orange flames and destroyed it in a small explosion. The temperature rose suddenly, the heat of the environment became difficult to even for breathing.

The attack did not stop, the crescent-shaped flames split into two parts in an instant, circling the blue flames and attacking Dhabi from both sides.

Vhoşş!!

As if the blue flames had been pierced from above and below, it expanded into two pillars and engulfed the orange flames, destroying them.

Criling!

The ice tinkled, the cold air carried by the wind, piercing through the warmth. Transparent crystalline ice swept through the ground, piercing Dhabi's flames and heading towards Compress.

The mobility of the ice was worse than the flames. One could see the difference in control at a glance.

Dabi's expression did not change. He lowered his hand to the ground. The blue flames came out of his hands in waves and moved across the floor, forcibly melting the ice. The hot-cold cooler vapors that emerged from the melting of the ice slowly rose and covered the area. Blocked the view of students and L.O.V.

Dabi took a step back and waited for the next attack. He expected Blake's attack but never thought that the students would attack instead.

If they attacked, they could easily defeat them. The Nomu next to them was not there for nothing. But if they did, they would be unprepared for any attack from Blake.

If they were somehow caught in his lightning attack and were flagged, Blake would be able to follow them and find their headquarters. Knowing that there is no indefinite-term Quirk in this world, he thought that the last day's attack was over and the mark was gone. If they didn't get a new one, they could leave.

So instead of actively attacking, he decided to stop.

But at that moment...

The vapors that covered the space were as white as small clouds. No one could see a step ahead, thanks to the vapors so dense that they could be touched. Dabi even had trouble seeing Nomu's back a few feet away.

But the palpably dense clouds were pierced by a hand and headed towards Dabi like an eagle's claw on its target. A pair of black hole-like cold eyes stared at him behind the hand that was getting closer and bigger in his vision. His gaze pierced the vapors and met hers.

The clawed hand wrapped around Dabi's face before giving him a chance to think, and he slammed his head into the ground.

Crack!

It was not known whether the sound came from the ground or Dabi's head, but with a big cracking sound, Dabi's head was hit on the ground and cracks began to spread like a spider web on the floor. Dabi's vision fluctuated, a few words out of her mouth before she passed out.

"There was... no lightning... you shouldn't have teleported..."

''Hm? Who told you I was teleported by lightning?" Blake shrugged and replied as the gazes of those around him fell on him. His demeanor showed Dabi that they had been wrong from the start. Blake's Quirk had to be something bigger.

He bent down and ran his finger into the collar of Dabi's dress. He lifted her slightly and took one last look around her before leaving.

The bad guys were looking right at him and Dabi, but they didn't seem to have any intention of attacking. Even though they didn't understand how he suddenly came out, they just stood there without making any movement and waited for him to leave, by any chance.

Nomu, on the other hand, took no action. Nomu was taking orders directly from Dabi, causing him to be unable to do anything but just stand there because he fainted.

After Blake took one last glance at them, his body slowly began to disintegrate in the air. The next second he disappeared. It was as if he had disappeared in an instant. Only a dent in the ground remained of him.

Seeing his move, the villain was glad they didn't attack. Dabi's thoughts were completely wrong, and Blake didn't need lightning to teleport. If they attacked him, they would be taken down before they even knew what was going on.

At the same time, the newcomers finally understood what they were up against and why others were in such a bad mood.

L.O.V did not break the circle and they waited for the others to arrive. Magne and Spinner arrived after a few minutes and joined the group, filling in the gaps in the circle. They had noticed Dabi's absence, but since they were no different than strangers on a team, they didn't question why he wasn't there or what had happened to him.

Each of them was waiting for one person, and they hoped that it would come soon. In this way, they could get out of this forest where that demon was found as soon as possible and relax.

Amid their waiting, the vapors began to slowly dissipate, and their vision began to improve. When the Disciples and the Villains were able to see each other again, a third group had appeared.

The group consisted of two people. One of them was the unconscious Dabi and the other was Blake. The first was lying unconscious on the floor, with no obvious wounds. The other was leaning against a tree, with one leg on the ground and the other leaning against a tree. The two sides were looking at him, enjoying the moment with his eyes closed.

"…" Blake opened his eyes, staring at him. He looked at the two groups in turn. His gaze was fixed, without any fuss or worry.

''Go on. Don't mind me. I only took this man with me for one person, and I'm not going to mess with you. You can keep choking each other-"

Before he could finish his words, a saw appeared in front of his face. Then Nomu appeared with mint green skin. His eyes, filled with madness, narrowed slightly, a raspy growl burst from his mouth. The growling was like the cry of a human and the roar of an animal.

''Watch out''

The students screamed in pain. They tried to get Blake to withdraw, pay attention, and get their word heard by saying various things. But it was too late to do that. Nomu's speed was faster than they had thought, and before they could even open his mouth, his saw had landed on Blake's shoulder.

Nomu might have been a brainless creature, but he was smart enough to recognize his master. Seeing Dabi captured finally triggered the inscribed ''Protect Your Master" command, leading him to kill Blake to get him back.

While everyone thought he was done, Blake moved at a speed no one could follow with his eyes. Everyone could see he was moving, but they couldn't see exactly what he was doing.

BANG!

With a loud punch, Nomu was sent back. The saw in his hand had shattered, blood and teeth sprouting uncontrollably from his mouth. Half of his face was smashed. He flew back several meters and began somersaults when he touched the ground.

It did somersaults when it touched the ground, and flew for meters when it bounced. It crashed into the tree at the end of the area, causing it to split in two, plunge into the darkness of the forest, and disappeared.

''I forgot to tell you. No one can touch this man until she gets here and makes a decision." Blake clenched his fist. His fist was pointing at the sky, signaling that he had just punched. His muscles were tense and his veins were exposed.
