Enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So Principal Nezu,"

Midoriya shuddered. The hand that he held his phone in trembled.

"Please kill yourself."

Genesis' voice echoed in the stadium where the private sports festival was being held.

After all the news of a Pro hero being captured and shown on live camera was a never-before scene in history.

And the cause of this was none other than his enemy.

"Genesis..."

...

A few minutes back in time.

Just as the Private Sports Festival was about to begin Present Mic's phone started ringing.

As all the gazes gathered on him he blushed in embarrassment when suddenly every Pro Hero's phone buzzed.

Puzzlement was apparent in everyone's faces but it turned deathly silent once they read a certain headline.

[Pro Hero, Dragon Hero, now in the hands of the young but dangerous villain, Genesis!]

Chaos spread in the stadium and every hero stood up in shock.

Because with the headline was an attached picture.

It was the brutalised Ryuko...

And even though the picture was blurred it wasn't hard to guess what state she would be in in the hands of such a ruthless villain.

It was already a blessing if she survived!

"Emergency Announcement! I Repeat, Emergency Announcement!"

An indifferent voice rang out in the stadium.

"The Private Sports Festival Will Be Postponed."

"The students are to head back to the dorms immediately!"

"I Repeat, The students are to head back to the dorms immediately!"

The students were stunned and every single person in Class 1-A had a single thought.

'Why have our lives turned so chaotic?'

But when they saw the picture they were immediately attracted to it.

Funnily or sadly enough, when everyone was looking towards the blurred picture of Ryuko, Class 1-A's eyes were fixed on the young man with icy blue hair and blood-red eyes contrasting it.

They hated it.

They despised his posture and expression that depicted confidence which was borderline arrogance.

Especially Midoriya.

His breathing grew rapid and he clenched his fist.

Soon Genesis started speaking.

While the Heroes had started moving and rushing the students' eyes were fixated on their mobiles.

Then came the scene of Genesis crumbling Ryuko to dust and a few students screamed in horror.

Unlike Class 1-A, the rest of the students still didn't experience the 'First touch with evil'.

So seeing a Hero that they once admired now disappear was soon to become a nightmare.

Because... Because this devil was after them... After U.A!

...

It only took two minutes for Genesis to finish and Momo frowned. She wasn't shocked that he just killed Ryuko.

She would be surprised if he didn't.

Those eyes she had seen in the U.S.J didn't, no, couldn't belong to any human.

"This doesn't excuse your actions..." She muttered to herself and looked at the others.

She noticed that none of her classmates had any positive change in expressions and heaved a sigh of relief.

She was scared that such a backstory would make people's brains muddled.

'But I still wonder...' She turned her gaze to the building where Nezu was sitting. 'How much of what he said was true?'

For all she knew Genesis could be speaking the truth.

Had their cute and harmless principal really murdered someone in cold blood?

She thought silently as they were being escorted back to their dorms.

But...

What she did not notice was that she herself was becoming 'muddle-headed'.

Unfortunately for her, this was exactly what Tomura wanted her and the others to believe.

Now even if Nezu countered this move of his the seed of doubt would remain and fester.

The growth of this seed would all depend on Tomura's mood.

It was as if he was holding Nezu in his palm, just like the little rat he was.

...

Suddenly the focus of the live camera shifted from Tomura to an unknown direction.

If one looked closely they would see a yellow-red dot flying towards them, jumping from building to building at sound-breaking speeds.

Tomura noticed this and followed their line of sight and quickly frowned.

'All Might...'

Tomura's vision was already brilliant and after the body cleansing, his eyesight was one of its kind.

He had to admit, the unadulterated rage on All Might's face sent shivers down his spine.

This was the publicly admitted number one hero of Japan. Even if his current strength was just the shell of his past it was not something Tomura could underestimate.

Tomura could confidently say that the current All Might could not kill him.

How could All Might's experience and skills compare to the former top assassin who even fellow assassins feared?

Not to mention the various quirks he had.

Just Hyper Regeneration would ensure his life.

But being captured was a different case altogether. If by chance-god forbids-should he get knocked out he could only imagine the difficulty it would be to escape.

Even his 'Sensei' would find it hard to save him if the Heroes and Authorities were determined to not let Tomura escape.

But if he cou- ah he was getting lost in thoughts.

All Might was closing in.

He looked at his current speed and estimated as his heart rate increased.

'11 Seconds.'

He quickly snapped his hands and Kurogiri tensed up.

Tomura looked toward the crowd and quickly spoke up as he was being enveloped by purple mist.

"Before I leave do you guys want to listen to a fun fact?"

8 seconds left.

"Principal Nezu is not human who mutated due to his quirk."

5 seconds left.

A creepy grin spread across his face as he glanced at the camera for one last time.

3 seconds left.

"Principal Nezu is a rat! A lab rat that coincidentally gained a quirk that boosted his intelligence."

1 second left.

Suddenly he was completely covered with purple mist and Ryuko's relatives and parents had their heads decapitated by Kurogiri's quirk.

Swish!

Rumble!

Heavy pressure filled the surroundings as the wind pressure skyrocketed. All Might's fist passed through the fading mist and the building Tomura once stood upon rumbled.

But what made his face turn even gloomier was the last of Tomura's lingering words.

"It would be a shame if so many HUMANS had to die because of a RA-"

Before those words finished the shockwaves from All Might's punch eradicated his voice.

The lingering force behind his punch was enough to cause the helicopter in the distance to shake fiercely.

A minute passed in silence and All Might subconsciously looked at the people below.

Gone was the look of relief and worship that he received whenever he showed up.

What replaced it was deep-seated fear and... Doubt.

For the first time ever the Number One Hero, All Might, The symbol of peace and justice, was given looks of questioning.

And all because of two people.

"All For One... Genesis..." All Might had never expected himself to speak in such a cold voice.

But now he had made his mind up.

Everything had spiraled out of control.

Midoriya was nowhere near enough to deal with these evil and cunning villains.

"Before I disappear I will capture at least one of you, mark my words..."

"And if necessary..."

He glanced at the six corpses beside him.

So much blood... Even his suit was now stained with blood.

The blood of an innocent family...

"Kill."

Once in the past, his mistake had cost the life of a young and beautiful family.

That incident had changed him.

Now once again his mistake had caused so much fear and panic.

This incident had changed him once again...

But no one knew if it was for the better or the worse.

Only time would tell...

Soon the other heroes, police, and ambulance arrived and started moving and consoling the innocent civilians out.

An incident that would shake the whole of Japan had occurred.

Chaos was inevitable.

***

The Observing Hall Of the U.A was filled with deafening silence.

There was a large window glass and looking down from it one could see a large stadium.

Sitting at the middle-end seat was Nezu, who was staring at the T.V in silence.

"So Principal Nezu, Please kill yourself."

"It would be a shame if so many HUMANS died for a RAT!"

These words lingered in his mind. Constantly echoing and corroding his heart.

The illusion he had built for himself was shattered.

The illusion that he could mingle with humans, be a part of them and live peacefully.

The past he had tried to not recall and bury in his heart had been laid bare to countless people.

He looked down and observed the expressions of the students.

When he looked at Class 1-A there was a hint of relief in his eyes but how could his optimism last?

He looked at the others and immediately his turned to one filled with disgust and coldness.

An expression he had never shown anyone.

His true self.

He should feel surprised, shocked that there was actually some sympathy and questioning in the students' eyes.

Yet his heart was calm.

Now that he looked again, most of the sympathy came from the female students.

He snickered in his heart.

His phone was constantly buzzing. He didn't need to guess that it might be filled with death threats.

The internet was such a place.

Especially Genesis' last words.

The fact that he was not a human being exposed would be a bomb of a disaster for him.

He paused the broadcast that was being replayed.

It was the scene of Genesis gently smiling at the camera.

The same gentle smile he adorned while asking Nezu to kill himself.

The tea beside Nezu had already turned cold.

Soon the silence of the room was disturbed by Nezu's laugh.

A hollow laugh filled with hints of madness.

"Is that how you want to play this? Very well."

Nezu knew that if he didn't get serious his life would truly end.

Even if he didn't succumb to the pressure there would heroes would soon start aiming to kill him once Genesis truly went wild.

Do you know the worst part?

Killing him would be 'righteous' and 'just'.

Humans were just like this. As long as there was a sufficient reason then nothing was 'wrong', 'evil', or 'cruel'.

Especially to creatures that weren't of their kind.

"Hahaha, I will play along with this little game of yours, Genesis. Just protecting Midoriya's mother enraged you enough to target me like this then it would even more joyful to ruin even more of your plans."

"Unfortunately, it is most likely that you might be the one with the last laugh but... Not so easily."

A deranged smile appeared on his cute little face just for a second before disappearing.

With a calm look, he exited the room and headed toward his office.

He ignored the variety of gazes on him.

Suspicion, blame, disgust, wariness, and pity.

Such emotions were everywhere now.

If anyone greeted him he would reply just like in the past and move on.

It was as if nothing had happened.

...

Nezu's office wasn't large or luxurious.

A cabinet.

A table and desk.

Two couches facing each other with a coffee table in between.

And finally, a button to call the secretary for tea.

Nezu walked toward his desk and pulled the drawer open.

He immediately pulled out a file.

After glancing through it he silently muttered to himself.

"Nana Shimura... Kotaro Shimura... and Tenko Shimura."

Nezu picked up the telephone by his side.

"Ah Hello, yes. Could you arrange a press conference?" He glanced at the file, "I have some interesting stuff to share."
