42 Interrogatory

As I looked at their bodies lying on the floor, I said in a surprised tone

" Oh? You are still alive? … Surprising. "

But seeing that no one else was coming, it seems they were the only survivors. Looking at them, I suddenly frown then my face takes on a mocking expression seconds later.

The numbers didn't match. They were four. But Izuku had the same number as Shigaraki. So without Izuku they are three.

Which means that one of them had to kill two people on their team to survive. I got up to turn their bodies around to see their numbers.

"So it's Momo heh" I whispered

I wonder what her parents thought when they saw their daughter kill two of her comrades in cold blood just to survive.

I then went to wake Anna up to take care of them. But not until I have tied them tightly.

...

-After 20 minutes-

(POV Izuku)

* Urgh *

I'm tired ... But strangely my body doesn't hurt anymore. Throughout this time, the pain was constantly present. So now that I'm not in pain anymore, I feel really good.

But instantly, I remembered my mission.

I opened my eyes and tried to jump up but couldn't move at all. I was tied up.

I started to panic. Did the enemy capture us before we could reach Hayato? Will they torture us?

I slowly lifted my head to examine my surroundings. But before I saw anything a gun was pointed at my forehead

"If you move, your head explodes" said the person holding the gun.

There were 10 people gathered in front of me. Each wore a simple white mask. The one pointing the gun at me was sitting in a camping chair. He seems to be the leader.

I am scared. How I got into this situation. All Might help me.

"I'll ask simple questions. I want simple answers. OK ?" Asked the leader.

I nodded.

" Very well. First of all, who are you? " He asked

"I am Izuku Midoriya"

" Which team ?" He added

"Japanese team. "

He was silent for a moment before asking

"Do you have any proof? "

"I speak Japanese fluently." I replied

"Alright, now tell me what you're doing here."

I hesitated to answer that question, after all, I don't know if I'm going to put Hayato's group in danger if I answer.

But seeing that I was not responding, he only pointed his gun at Ochacco who was still unconscious.

"If you don't want to answer, I'll just start torturing her in front of you." He said in a calm, emotionless voice.

Mom… I'm scared. I started to panic.

Hell, it shouldn't have been like this! All Might had finally recognized me as his successor. I had successfully integrated UA. Everything seemed to be going well. How I ended up in this situation!

Shit! Shit! Shit!

Tears started to fall from my eyes. I must at least protect those who are still alive.

I took a deep breath and then replied

"I'm looking for the other part of my team. We are separated. "

" Oh? And why are you looking for them?" He asked

"My group was almost completely wiped out. We are the only survivors." I replied, looking down in guilt.

Hearing this, the man withdrew his pistol and sat back in his chair before removing his mask while saying

"Well you don't look good Izuku"

What? … Hayato?

...

(POV Hayato)

Seeing his blank gaze I really wanted to burst out laughing but I held back.

"At least now I know I can't trust you to keep a secret. »I said

" What … ?" He mumbled blankly

Then after a few moments, he realized what was going on and screamed on the verge of tears

" Why do you do that ?!! Do you like to see us suffer? "

"Not really, I just wanted to confirm that you are not someone with a quirk of transformation and if I can trust you as a comrade in arms. And it seems like a simple threat is enough to get you talking, "I said flatly.

My team members also had absolutely no reaction. After several weeks in this game, they have long lost their naivety. They are not at their first murders. They have all become excellent warriors. Especially Aizawa who is really terrifying as an enemy.

Seeing that Izuku didn't know what to answer, I asked him

"So why are you looking for us? I thought you wanted to be a "smiling hero" or something like that. Don't tell me you've changed your mind? "

Izuku then said softly

"Dead… Everyone is dead. "

" Explain yourself. How did they die? Who killed them? When did they die "I asked for more details. He then started to explain in a trembling voice

"When we separated from you, we went into hiding to avoid the fighting. But less than a day went by that we found ourselves caught in the middle of a giant blue forest fire. It surrounded us on all sides. I thought we were all going to die but luckily Ochacco was able to get us out of the surrounding forest fire. "

"Oh, that must have been awful. You were lucky. We ended up in this fire too. We only got away with luck." I replied, trying to stop myself from laughing.

Izuku nodded, saying

"Yes, we were lucky that day. But it was the next day that the nightmare began. In the morning, we woke up to find Mineta's body impaled against a tree. After that it was Tsuyu, then Kaminari, then Sero… every day someone else died. No matter what we did, someone would inevitably die. In addition to the fights against the teams that we couldn't dodge, we got knocked out one by one. Now it's just the four of us. "

Well for a surprise.

I expected them all to die in a short time, but not that way. I can explain this in two ways.

The first would be that the person stalking them has a quirk that can absolutely kill but can only use it once a day. Or maybe it's just someone very intelligent who decided to play with his prey.

The second solution seems more likely to me. I turned to Izuku and asked him

" So? Why did you come looking for us? Don't tell me you're gonna think we're gonna help you? "

Izuku looked stunned by my words

"B-But we're on the same tea-" he stammered

"No Izuku. My team is standing right next to me. You and the other three of you are traitors. I have no reason to help you. In addition, there is a great chance that you have brought your enemies back to us. So give me a good reason to not abandon you to your fate. "

* clap, clap, clap *

"These are rather harsh words that you say there, don't you think?" Said a person as he walked out of the forest while clapping.

It was a man. I couldn't really tell how old he was since he wore some sort of veil that desert fighters wear.

He was dressed in military camouflage clothing with all kinds of weapons on his body.

He didn't look impressive but I instantly deployed my domain.

This man gave me a feeling of danger.
