4 Four

Everyone stared at Bakugou, eye-wided.

"And why are you chasing an extra when you have the real deal here!" Bakugou's hands started to spark.

"HAH! Your little friend was the one WHO KILLED ONE OF US!"

Chiyo looked at the ground,

"No I didn't…" he murmured, but the class didn't hear him.

The woman launched herself towards them but Todoroki was fast enough to create a wall of fire, Deku quickly took the chance to go towards her and punched her but she kicked him and tried to slash him on the stomach which Deku fortunately dodged.

The villain behind them had also started to attack them.

Bakugou blew himself up and threw explosions at the back of the villain, but with a body as huge as his the explosions did the bare minimum. He suddenly ran towards them, ready to punch Jiro and Bakugou to the ground. But just in time, Ida used his boosters to run towards his friends and snatched them before the impact of the hammer could touch them.

"Let me go, you four glasses!!" Bakugou kicked Ida.

"Where's Kirishima?"

Everyone was busy fighting but didn't notice that one of their classmates was missing.

"Here, you rats!"

Kirishima was in the hands of the female villain, her sword against his throat.

"What? But she's in front of—" the villain in front of them had suddenly turned into sand.

"Shoji, take the boy to safe grounds." Deku said.

Shoji grabbed Chiyo and was about to go when a villain similar to the bigger villain suddenly popped out of nowhere and slammed the ground.

They were all surrounded by three villains. One had a hostage and two of them were twice bigger than all of them.

Deku, filled with rage and anxiousness, was ready to attack,

"If you move I'll slice this kid's throat!" The villain laughed.

Kirishima looked around and saw that none of them had an open spot to escape or to even attack one of the big ones, so he tried to harden.

"Nice try! But you're drugged~" the woman whispered into Kirishima's ear.

"Guys! Attack them! I can handle it." Kirishima screamed.

"Can you really?" The woman started to slice his cheek, making Kirishima hiss.

The classmates started to shout for her to stop, while the others who stood in silence, were enraged.

"What do you want?" Todoroki asked, trying to hold back.

The woman sighed in teasing manner,

"I wonder~ what do I want hmmm… that kid." She pointed to Chiyo.

"He killed one of our friends so, we'll kill him and one of his friends too, deal?" The woman smiled, while side eyeing poor Kirishima.

"They are not my friends!" Chiyo got off from Shoji's arms, he didn't try to push him in a rude manner, but he wanted to make it clear that he was not related to them at all.

"Sureeee~" the woman rolled her eyes, not believing any of it.

"You think we'll believe the nonsense that comes from your mouth!" Ida shouted.

Chiyo's vision started to blurred and disoriented to a scene that he didn't wish to see.

Kirishima's head was being decapitated, the woman was cutting his neck messily, her way of working the sword wasn't perfect, it was so rough that she had to pull the head of the skin attached to the body by force, blood spurting everywhere.

His body falling down to the ground with a thud.

'If you don't do something, that kid is going to die, and it will be your fault again.'

Chiyo started to tremble, he looked at all the students and saw them all with their fists clenched in anger, their faces filled with worry.

He looked at the ground and saw the feet of the big villain beside him, he looked up and glared at his eyes.

He mouthed something quietly.

"So, what are you little 'heroes' going to do? HEHEHEHE—what?" The woman suddenly confused, stared at the side.

Everyone saw the big villain walking towards the woman and Kirishima all of the sudden, and with her being confused and flabbergasted, it was obvious this wasn't in their plan.

"Hey! I'm talki—"

The huge villain threw Kirishima to the side and grabbed the woman's head with a single hand. Lifting her up to the air and slamming her against the concrete floor multiple times. Her skull being crushed while her skin peeled off and stuck to the ground, blood splattering all the man's hand and ground.

Class A-1 and Chiyo watched in horror as the deceased woman was tossed.

The other villain too watched in horror and confusion, staring at his comrade who ran to him and ripped his hammer away with his inhuman strength. Hitting him with his own hammer and deforming his face just as he did to the woman. Stopping after he died.

"Wha— wh… wh-what just happened?" Jiro trembled after the scene that was displayed.

The huge villain, with the hammer still in hand, turned around and stared at the class.

Todoroki and Midoriya thought that he was ready to attack, so they got in positions.

But the man started to hit himself on the face likewise.

Uraraka's face went pale and felt like vomiting but was able to hold it in, unfortunately Aoyama could not hold it in.

Kirishima, still on the ground, could not stand after what he had witnessed. Everyone else froze in place and could not even flinch.

Chiyo was more confused, holding his head and feeling dizzy.

Before everything went black, a thought suddenly appeared…

'Good choice. Nobody will find out…'

———

He was in a dark place. A very dark place.

The ground was filled with water.

While drops were heard all around.

He stared at emptiness.

Then suddenly a light was lit, in the middle where he stood.

Like a theater.

He didn't have shoes or socks, feeling the coldness of the water.

But he stared at his reflection.

Or that's what he thought, he couldn't see anything. He didn't have a face.

He moved an inch and finally saw his mouth, which whispered something.

"**** **…"

'…what…'

"*ak* **! WAKE UP!"

Chiyo suddenly woke up gasping for air and started to hyperventilate, feeling a delicate hand holding his and someone rubbing his back to soothe him.

"There there, breathe in. Breath out. Now follow me, breathe." An elderly voice said.

Chiyo followed what the voice said while trying to regain his focus too.

When his view became clearer he could see that he was in some hospital, and the woman beside him was an old lady who wore a bun with a syringe stuck onto it. But right behind her he could see three other people.

A man with dark circles and a ragged scarf around his neck, a blonde man who had a way wide smile on his face, an orca, a little mouse, and a man that had a fire moustache.

'…ehehe a fire moustache.'

… .

'Wait…'

"ENDEAVOR?!"

Chiyo's sudden outburst surprised everyone in the room. He felt more awake than he had felt in his whole entire life.

"Mr. Kaneko, please refrain yourself. Especially in front of heroes too." Recovery Girl scolded the young man.

"… ah sorry."

Chiyo's eyes wandered between Recovery Girl and the heroes behind.

'They didn't find out right?! They…no.'

The more he thought, the more anxious he got. Biting his lip and scrunching the bed sheets while looking down.

"Hm. He is in perfect condition, though mentally… I'm not so sure." The old lady wrote notes down while talking to the man.

"Well, I'll be going out. Go easy on him."

Chiyo got more nervous as he watched the lady walk out of the room, leaving him and the others alone.

They stood in silence for a few seconds before the little mouse spoke.

"Mr. Kaneko, I'm sure you're in distress after all the events. We have also called your mother and she came in such a hurry, but due to her job she had to leave." The little rodent (?) said.

Chiyo stared at them dumbfounded.

"…my mom came?… Ah! Thank you!" Chiyo gave a slight bow towards the animal.

"Thank you Mr…"

"Principal Nezu." The rodent finally introduced himself.

"Yes. Thank you, Principal Nezu."

Chiyo was expecting for them to question him about his whereabouts on the day of the 'Teleport' incident, but it seemed as though that wasn't their intention and that calmed him down.

But he was still confused on why they were here.

"Umm may I ask why… are you here?" Chiyo shyly asked.

With that said, All Might smiled wider than before and stood proudly.

"Well young Kaneko! We're here to find out what happened to the three villains!"

"We're here to question you." Endeavor said with a stern face.

"But that'll be when you get released, as we don't want any disclosures. Though the police will come today to ask you some questions related to the crime." Gang Orca added.

"Ah! I see… thank you f–for the information." Chiyo bowed once again, then he looked at Principal Nezu and the man with shaggy hair.

"Actually we've been in contact with your teacher and your mom regarding your academic skills and quirk. And after the students' testimonies regarding you, I've been thinking. Mr. Kaneko…" Principal Nezu neared the side of his bed.

"I believe you have what it takes to be a hero." He said with a smile.

"M–me?! … but my quirk is only talking to plants?! How?!" Chiyo leaned forward in shock.

One of the best hero schools in Japan had just offered him to attend and be a student at their school, without even taking the exam or having done anything at all.

"Young Kaneko! I know this is sudden, but I ask

are goin— no, you are a hero!" All mMight gave him a thumbs up.

"BOh! But woulswould you look at the time! AI have other meetings to atteattend so I'll be leaving!" Then he suddenly ran out of the room in a rush, leaving Chiyo in more confusion.

The top hero had also approved of him?!

"…. But— I didn't take the exam and I don't…" Chiyo was at a loss for words.

"So you don't deny wanting to go?" Endeavor asked.

"What?"

"You're not denying wanting to go to U. A. Academy. This is a big chance for a kid like you. You'd don't have to take any exams, getting a free pass from the principal himself. Take the chance." He sounded angry, but didn't seem to be concerned at all either.

After saying that he left the room, and Gang Orca followed after.

Chiyo stared at the door for a short amount of time and went back to staring at his hands.

"I don't think my quirk is fit for a hero…" He awkwardly laughed at the end.

Then the man in rags finally spoke.

"We saw records of your quirk, and it seems like not only can you speak to plants but can also tell them what to do. That seems to me like a very useful quirk, especially in the hero area." The man said.

"I agree with Aizawa."

They both stared at Chiyo, waiting for a response. While he fidgeted around with his fingers.

"…but mom—"

"You mom already knows about this. She said it is your decision."

Nezu's eyes were full of confidence and affirmativeness, overwhelming Chiyo.

"So, what will it be?"
