Chapter 32

(POV Hayato)

Anna gradually stopped crying before finally falling asleep. I laid her on the floor.

Then I got up and turned around. Each person looked at me with a different gaze. Some with disgust, others with fear, others with anger, others with understanding ...

That was to be expected after what I just did. The reactions must be of the same kind in Japan.

"What you have just seen will be the way I will handle things from now on. So if you want to leave you can go." I said calmly.

The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear the wind blowing weakly.

"Why… why did you do that?" Izuku asked, his face turned down, his fists clenched.

I looked at him in confusion.

"What do you mean by " why "? We are forced to kill them. If it's not them, it will be us. I just took the initiative. "

Izuku looked up with an angry look.

"Why did you cheat on them? You abused their trust, you deceived them. They were only looking to save their friend. And you used their humanity ... We could have fought each other fairly to decide the winner! "

I turned my gaze to the still-warm corpses then said

"If we had fought fair as you say, a lot of us would have died. If I am fighting it's for Japan to be the last standing. I wouldn't take any risks. We don't know anything about them. The method I used was the ideal solution for me. And nothing you say will change the fact that we haven't lost anyone today. "

Izuku turned around and started to walk away

"I don't care about what you say. A smiling ... reliable ... incredible hero ... that's what I want to be! That's why I give it my all! For everyone! I can't stand the way you do things. Goodbye Hayato. "

I turned my gaze to the others

"You are free to go too if you want. But I advise you to go with your partner "

People started to leave one by one.

After 5 min, there were only Shigaraki's group left, Aizawa (+ his pair Inspector Naomasa) Todoroki, Bakugo, Fumikage, and Alicia.

At least there are still the strongest. This is a good thing. With fewer people, we will be able to be much more mobile and stealthy.

Now that this is done, I turned to those who remained.

"If I stay with you, it's only because I think we will have the best chance of winning that way. But there is one thing I want to know. Why were you smiling" Aizawa asked with a sharp gaze.

I thought about his question for a few moments

"Um… There are many reasons, but the main one would be that anger makes humans blind. Whether this is a good thing or not remains to be seen. But in most cases, an opponent controlled by their anger will be much easier to defeat. " Did I say

Then I looked up at the sky before continuing calmly.

"And the easiest way to anger someone is just to attack the most important thing they care about. In our case, mocking the bond that unites them infuriated Alexander. I repeat, if I am fighting it's for survival and nothing else. Because whatever dreams you have and however happy your existence may have been, it won't matter in the face of death. "

After hearing my words, they fell silent. Then they started to return to our base camp.

...

Once alone, I sat down on the floor.

*sigh*

"No matter what I say to justify myself, then I was a real bastard". I whispered

This was my first murder. I really made an incredible entry into the profession of murderers. But strangely enough, killing someone did me less effect than I expected. I felt a little nauseous seeing all those bits of brain splashed all over the place, but after a few breaths, I was already feeling better.

Annihilate the UK team, I don't care. However, I did involve a child in all of this.

I know for a fact that if I hadn't done all of this, she might have committed suicide, tried to run away, or even refused to cooperate with us.

While I don't like the variables in my shots, handling a child who doesn't even have the strength to stand up for himself yet really disgusts me. It reminds me too much of my previous family.

...

I sat there thinking for a long time. When I came back to my senses, the sun was already starting to set. The sky was tinged with a beautiful orange-red color

* Urgh *

I turned my head when I heard a noise next to me. I saw Anna waking up. She sat down and looked at me in silence.

" What's the matter? If you have something to say, say it »I said She wrapped her arms around her knees before saying weakly

"Everyone is dead ... except me"

"Yeah… I killed everyone except you. You regret ?" I answered

She shook her head

" Nope. If I die, there will be no one to take care of Ako. "

"Ako? Is that your little brother?" I asked

"No, I don't have a family. Ako is the name of an abandoned puppy that I take care of "

An orphan eh?

I stopped thinking about it and stood up.

"Let's go, it's going to be dark soon. It's not very safe to stay here."I said, holding out my hand to her.

...

We walked in silence for about 20 minutes before arriving at the camp. The rest of my group had already arrived (group A).

Izuku's (Group B), on the other hand, does not seem to have returned. Looks like they chose to go somewhere else.

We sat around a fire in silence.

Fumikage then broke the silence

"What are we going to do from now on?" He asked looking at me.

I had already thought about this

"The most important thing in this 'game' is not to eliminate the other teams but rather to survive. So we're going to hide and gather as much information as possible about the other teams. By the time we're done, there will be a lot fewer teams. We can then start the hunt. "
