章節 3: Useless

While walking back home, I received a message.

It was from Giran, probably has some execution for me to do, although I am done for today. I opened this thing and looked through the messages, as I was reached by guy himself. It kind of remainder me of this strange TV's in this ... never mind.

[Hey Six !

I am aware of you working for this yakuza boy, however, I need you to do me a favor. You see, my newest customer ordered me to recruit villains and thugs, they apparently plan on getting rid of numer 1 hero. If they succeed, it would be the best outcome. However ...

Their leader is not very capable person. Because of this, I think that their goal will fail. Thus, to prevent this, I want you to go with them. What do you think ?]

... he did exceed his usual word count, it also seems to be quite serious. Number one hero is this guy from billboards around the city. I also pieced together some facts, and came to conclusion that this duo that I spotted on the beach this one day and everyday I was there, one of them was current number one hero, All might. Other was this vegetable boy. I hate vegetables.

I decided on asking him two fundamental questions.

[What do I get ?]

I typed back. One thing that I learned from people around me, is that no one does anything for free. They always have some business in mind, be it heroes, villains, civilians. I knew it way before, I was still stupid falling for an obvious trap, back on the Maw. But it couldn't be helped, at least I survived that hell.

He was quite quick in answering, probably standing on a phone.

[I will just owe you one. We can talk about it after your done, other questions ?]

Well, yes. The most important one.

[Will there be good food ?]

I asked. I was trying to get someone on tastiness level of this giant lady, however no one tasted as good. Normal food was becoming bland, I needed someone tasty. And if it is number one hero, he may taste good.

[Hahaha, I did expect this question. The most brilliant hero hatchlings, all in one place.]

[You did not answer the question.]

[Yes, yes. There will be lots of food, and you are allowed to do with this students anything, as long as it helps their mission.]

Hero hatchlings ? Are they tasty ? If number one hero would be tasty, how tasty would they be ?

I decided to contact my boss, ask him about his say in this. He was a brain of this yakuza organization, I will know if it is good or not.

He seemed little surprised at first, but then he firmly ordered for me to join in. I only hummed in agreement while writing back.

[Count me in.]

Now I need to wait for time of attack. If food will be good then all is okay, but if it's not ... I will eat certain someone.

...

The gathering place, time of attack.

I made my way towards the place of gathering, which appears to be one of more familiar alleyways. I probably hunted someone in here, but even then, I don't really remember. All of the alleyways look the same.

Before me, enormous amount of people, villains and thugs presumably, stood in place. I was supposed to be someone important in here, thus I forced my way ahead of all of them. Many were startled at first, but didn't do anything. But, well, there will always be this one guy.

"What, are you lost you little baby ?"

He asked in mocking voice. I was fairly short, but not on a level of a baby. I wanted to get past him and continue forward. I heard that if you await the meal for long time without eating anything, it will taste way better.

Guy, clearly annoyed, wanted to swing on me. He nearly landed a hit, seems like he has some strengthening quirk. However ... still too slow.

"Ahhhhhh !!"

He screamed in pain, no longer finding his arm on his original position. Bleeding non stop, all while surrounding watched in horror. Not his injury, but what I have done.

It was currently in my mouth, chewing and ripping the meat apart. Blood splattering around, flowing on clothes of normal villains.

I came up with rating system for a taste of meat, scaling from one to ten, all based on huge lady's taste.

This one would get 0/10. As bland as every typical villain out there. I sped up and in seconds, nothing was left of arm from earlier. I still glanced back into the direction of now crying villain, he would never get his arm back, just because of one stupid mistake. how sad.

I made my way onto the front of the group, thugs and villains now opening a way before me. How polite.

I then stood in place and waited. Hunger inside me jumping excitedly for new tastes, blocking any way of going back.

After waiting for few minutes, a purple foggy circle appeared. From it emerged three silhouettes, one was a normal man with grey hair and weird hands on his face. Other ones were not resembling human, one being a moving gathering of fog, other being made of muscles, guy seemed like a though one.

"Kurogiri ... is it all of them ?"

Asked a grey man, sounding somewhat bored.

"It is all of them, Tomura Shigaraki. We can start the attack."

"Then let's go, there is final boss to beat."

Was said before the same circles opened before all of us. First went in Shigaraki guy, then bulky man. I moved towards one of the portals, no one willing to follow my tracks. Oh well, more for me.

I entered the portal and found myself ... somewhere else.

...

I found myself in a Rocky Mountains, surrounded by, well, rocks. Beside me, few other villains popped out. They aren't really scared of me, symbolizing superiority complex or just being dumb. They were informed of students drop place, not even informing me. tsk.

I quietly followed behind, waiting for the villains to die or for them to kill students. Unless they eat the same as me, then I will just kill them all.

They started preparing ambush, setting around supposed location.

I stayed on the front motionless, observing and waiting for a moment they appear.

My plan was to take one with me and enjoy the taste without anyone interrupting. That would be a perfect scenario

In this moment, a three people dressed in weird costumes appeared.

Two of them were girls, one wearing overly revealing costume, seemingly wanting to be eaten, and the other dressing like someone from 'hard rock' band, or something like that.

There was also one boy, walking around shaking. He didn't seem anything like hero that I have seen on TV.

I rushed in, aiming for the punk girl, grabbing her by the neck and rushing out. I would left the rest of students to thugs in there. Spreading students really limited their cooperation advantage, while allowing thugs to take out more dangerous student.

Once I met the wall, I pushed her into it and grabbed her hand. Some muscles were present in it, although she seems way less aggressive than one would be. Maybe she thinks that I saved her ? How dumb, no one does things without a purpose.

I bit into her arm.

"Arghhhh!!"

She tried to muffle a scream, although she wasn't able. Terror now visible in her eyes, I bit further into the muscles, ripping and tearing apart. Her screams intensified as I continued on feeding. If I was to rate it, it would be on a scale of 6/10. It had the same texture, however a taste was way inferior. It is like comparing a good dish to an exclusive delicious dish.

I was to continue, but I remembered a thing that one guy from TV was saying, something about cultivating a fruit for it to be as beautiful and then eat it ... I don't know about cultivating things, however I would appreciate for her to become way more delicious. I also had to go and take a bite of number one hero. As such, I left her alone for now. Taking a bite for a go, I took off towards the center of a building. She has already fainted anyway.

I really hope for you to become more delicious.

...

Kyoka PoV

I-It was supposed to be a normal lesson.

After villains appeared on main grounds and we were sent away by a guy with a fog quirk, I found myself with my friends in the mountain zone. I wanted to get into fighting position, only to be grabbed by a neck and dragged out of the villain fighting zone. Faces of my classmates were schooled and the villains around me had ... a sympathetic expression ?

Culprit appeared to be a girl, about 13 years old. She had short black hair, covering her eyes, in a cute way one can say. She wore a rain coat, which was weird as a weather was sunny. I wanted to ask her what she was doing this, but then she grabbed my hand and inspected it. I then started to piece together, a sympathetic faces of villains, girl being strong enough to carry me out by a neck and her being here. Before I could try to fight back, she did something that I would not expect.

She bit into my arm, and ripped a good chunk of my flesh with her jaws. I tried to hold it in, but pain was just too much. I struggled with all my might to get out of her grip. All of it was in the end meaningless though, she just continued to go up, starting to close up on my shoulder.

I felt so, weak. I had no power at all. I felt like golden fish on display. I couldn't do anything by myself. Useless.

I stopped resisting, expecting for her to bit into my shoulder.

But ultimately, she stopped there. Throwing me on the ground, she started walking away, all while humming some song. I just laid there, feeling useless, crying. Pain was unbearable.

I started feeling light headed, after some time succumbing to the embrace of darkness, all while remembering one word.

Useless.
