An Alarming Day

Author Note: Hi! Here is another chapter that turned out longer than I was expecting, thus had to be cut short. Or, so I say, but it is 7,000 words, lol.

This chapter marks the divergence point for canon and gives a few hints of what's coming.

For time reference – this chapter is set two days away from USJ.

In case you haven't noticed already, this will be a very plot-heavy story. Though, I won't be throwing in conflict after conflict, because that's stupid.

The world-building is going to take a damn while, since there is thousands of years worth of experience for the MC that I have to expand on gradually, and an altered history/explanations for this version of the MHA verse that needs to be explained in great detail (I won't be doing it all at once, cause who tf likes info dumps).

Either way, I promise that a lot of exciting stuff will happen soon enough, so you won't be let down even if you get your hopes up.

Like I said in the first chapter, this is going to be a LONG story.

P.S:- Yes, the title is an intended pun.

-----

Early morning, the sun shone brightly as residents of Musutafu awoke. In a certain mansion, Sora Hado gradually opened his eyes.

'Hm?' There was someone beside him. Looking over, he spotted a tuft of smooth hair belonging to a girl that appeared to be no older than five.

Sora felt like yawning as he teleported out of the bed, directly into the bath connected to his room. With his constitution and powers, a shower/bath was unnecessary, however, it is something he enjoyed doing regardless.

Twenty minutes later, Sora exited the bath with nothing but a cyan towel wrapped around his waist. Eri was still asleep, so he refrained from making any noises as he prepared for the day. Truth be told, today was a day that he was looking forward to quite a bit. Not only had he just obtained something that's akin to a 'starter pack' in the form of nineteen extremely useful quirks, but he would be obtaining one of his most important allies today.

In the previous cycle, he had come to find out just how much potential this individual had. It was regrettable that she was his enemy then, with no hope of conversion. Well, it was mostly his fault, considering that he slaughtered half her classmates and her family in front of her. (Wait, did he have a habit for doing this?)

Anyway… The person in question was Momo Yaoyorozu. Now, don't get it wrong, Momo already had quite the potential even prior to the events of the previous cycle. If she were to join him wholeheartedly, then his work would be divided by as much as half.

Sora continued to deliberate on what method was best to approach his target as he made his way to the kitchen. There, he came across Nejire who was being tailed by Angie.

"Sora!" Nejire was full of energy despite having woken up no longer than thirty minutes ago as she jumped over to him gleefully.

"Good morning, sis," Sora smiled as he calmly said.

"Let's go to school together today!"

Right… Despite the two of them both going to the same school, they haven't had the opportunity to go together the past few days. The reason for that being Nejire's status as one of "The Big Three" requiring her to be at school earlier than most other students.

"Sure," was all Sora said as he guided her to the dining table. Then, he made his way to the kitchen counter alongside Angie.

Aside from bathing, Sora tended to like cooking as well. So, it had become a habit for him to cook meals together with the maid.

A short while later, breakfast was prepared and set on the dining table as the three sat down and began eating.

"Hey, hey, did you get new quirks?" Nejire asked curiously as she ate.

"Yes. Last night, Sebastian-"

"You called, My Lord," a voice interrupted Sora's as a devilishly handsome butler appeared right behind his seat.

"Seriously?" Was all Sora could say in exasperation. "Anyway, he finished his mission and got me the quirks needed."

"So? What did you get? How many did you get? Have they been transformed by Envy yet?"

"I've gotten nineteen quirks. Yes, they've already been modified."

The quirks Sora had gotten last night were ones that were handpicked from all over the globe. The weakest one was a B-Class (after Envy's modification), which says a lot, considering that only thirty six B-Class quirks exist among Japan's entire population.

The quirk classification system is one that factors in a multitude of variables before giving a quirk an overall rank. What factors? Well: Versatility, offense, defense, utility, support, drawback severity, and limitations.

So, what were the quirks that Sora got? Four B-Classes, five A-Classes, four S-Classes, five SS-Classes, and one SSS-Class. They were as follows, from the weakest to the strongest:

I) Starlight (B-Class): During the night, the user can absorb the energy of stars. The user doesn't need to eat or drink as long as the energy will provide every required nutrients for the body. For some reason, doesn't work with the sun.

II) Synthesia (B-Class): Mass-manipulate the emotions of those nearby. Mostly has a calming and inhibitory effect. Limited to fifty meters. (Sora's domain negates the limited range.)

III) Network (B-Class): Forms a connection with those physically touched by the user within the past five hours. Limited to ten connections and a range of one hundred meters. (Sora's domain negates the limited range.)

IV) Message (B-Class): A simple communication quirk that lets the user contact anyone, whenever and wherever. The connection is limited to one way, so the one being contacted can't respond. Unlimited range.

V) Quantum Pocket (A-Class): Literally the equivalent of a video game inventory. The size of the inventory is proportional to the user's 'senses'. (Sora's domain counts as a 'sense'.)

VI) Empathy (A-Class): The user can project any emotion they understand into their target. Can also amplify emotions being felt by an individual. Restricted to targets within sight. (Sora's domain negates the restriction.)

VII) Reflect (A-Class): Every physical attack against the user gets reflected by up to 80%. Doesn't work on attacks that are fatal to the user. (Sora's constitution negates the limit.)

VIII) Biofluency (A-Class): The user can modify their body as they wish. Extremely complicated usage and requires great understanding of the human body.

IX) Clairvoyance (A-Class): The user develops a birds-eye view for around a thousand meters. (Sora's domain increases the range.)

X) Chronosphere (S-Class): Creation of invisible spheres that can have a maximum radius of three meters. Time can be modified within the spheres depending on the user's understanding of time. Up to five spheres can exist at once.

XI) Paladin (S-Class): The user exudes a powerful healing aura that not only heals allies, but renders them virtually immortal. Extremely dangerous quirk that sips away at the user's vitality. Has a maximum range of ten meters. (Sora's domain negates the range limit.)

XII) Tinkering (S-Class): A utility-type quirk that allows the user to modify other quirks to a certain extent. Usage of this quirk can cause the user to develop brain cancer.

XIII) Elemental Synthesis (S-Class): The user gains complete control over the four elements: Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. The user can combine two or three elements. The user can't form any of the elements, but can only control them if they're already there. Downside: The user's body gains no immunity to the elements. Has a range of fifty meters. (Sora's domain negates the range limit.)

Echo (SS-Class {Previously A-Class}): The user can amplify sounds every five meters for up to fifty meters. Each amplification drains a part of the user's vitality. Extra application: Resonance; precise usage of the quirk allows the user to double the effect while still consuming the same amount of vitality. Maximum potential: An experienced user can easily produce magnitude nine earthquakes. (Sora's domain negates the range, increasing its power by about sixty-two times.)

Lucky (SS-Class): Probability manipulation. Usage efficiency and effectiveness depends on the user's understanding of time, reality, and existence. Over usage can result in memory loss. Extra effects: Balance; for every instance in which luck is increased, there will be a future instance in which its equally decreased.

Dreamer (SS-Class {Previously B-Class}): The user can form dreamscapes and pull others into them, in which mental damage can be done. When in the dreamscape, time is sped up by a huge margin. Restrictions: The user and the target both need to be asleep and within a range of ten meters from each other. (Sora's domain negates the range limit.)

Fertilizer (SS-Class {Previously C-Class}): Plant control with range limited to user's senses. (Sora's domain counts as 'sense'.)

Siren (SS-Class {Previously A-Class}): Any sound generated by the user can result in those that hear it to lose consciousness or sanity temporarily. Effective for one hour at most. Range is dependent on how far the sound reaches.

Altering (SSS-Class): Extremely dangerous quirk that reduces the user's lifespan by five years with each usage. Allows the user to perform an action with their intent at a time that has already passed, thus changing the future. Only the user and those with time-warping immunity can remember the time before the changes. Range: Up to one hundred years into the past.

All in all, these quirks were the those that would benefit Sora most in the coming years. Not only were they powerful on their own, but when combined, they could produce awe-inspiring results. For instance, if Siren were to be used along with Echo, it could easily lead to the fall of an entire country within ten seconds.

Most of the quirks are enhanced in two ways: The sin of Envy in Sora, as well as his 'domain'.

The sin of Envy empowers anything Sora 'owns', and somewhat reduces if not completely removes limitations and drawbacks. As for the domain – that was something that Sora had right from The First Cycle. Back then, however, it was only five meters in range. Sora learned that every ten years, his range would increase by one meter. Now, during Canon, that didn't seem like much. But, Sora found out in the next cycle that he kept the increased range. Not only that, but when he began to practice speeding up his nerves, his domain grew twice as fast. As a result, he now had a domain of more than three thousand meters.

However, the effectiveness of his domain waned with around every meter, so despite the maximum being above three thousand, he could only make effective use of two thousand before it deteriorated so much that it would be unusable. Though, that only applied to him 'sensing' things, not the extended range it added to most quirks.

"Some of those sound new," Nejire said once Sora was done listing the quirks he attained.

"That's most likely because they are."

During the previous cycle, Sora placed quite a bit of emphasis on early-cycle preparation. For that reason, he put in extensive research into a lot of things that would prove to be useful. Mind you, that's five years worth of research beginning from his tenth birthday, where he could actually make use of the knowledge. Though, with his newly gained quirk, Altering, he could finally do the one thing that he hasn't been able to do right from the first cycle – making changes beyond his tenth birthday.

Altering is an extremely powerful quirk; one that would normally be classified as an EX-Class if it weren't for the drawback. Five years is no joke to an ordinary human, after all.

"Do you have any special activities for today?" Sora asks as an idea passes through his mind.

"No…?" Nejire responded a little hesitantly, probably attempting to recall if there was anything.

"Good. Come to the cafeteria once the first break's bell rings."

"Got it!"

"Sebastian?" Sora turned to face the silent butler.

"Yes, My Lord?"

"Would you like to have some fun?"

"If that would please you, then I'd be delighted, My Lord."

"Yeah, yeah…"

And so, the Sora and Nejire set off for school immediately after breakfast. Usually, the former would simply teleport while the latter would take the train. Usually, as in, the past few days. In the previous cycles, most of the time, Nejire would be the only one to head to school.

Despite what most would come to expect, Sora only went to UA for a few cycles. While UA did get caught up in usually most of the 'main' trouble, either the institution itself or by extension due to a few meddlesome students, all the trouble could be handled outside of it. Since school itself takes up a lot of precious time, Sora simply decided to not attend it. Not like he hadn't for a few cycles already. In fact, by attending UA in this cycle, Sora has effectively taken on a passive role in which he deals with whatever that comes. Regardless, the troubles that UA ends up being linked to are minimal compared to what's coming later on. The sheer scale of the later troubles make every event UA and its students that ever gets caught up in seem marginal at best.

Still, while that might be the case, he does have Mythos under his command to deal with certain matters that don't necessarily require his direct attention during the time he is in UA. Also, prepare for 'later' while at it.

---

Upon arriving at UA's entrance, Sora and Nejire immediately noticed a large crowd of what appeared to be reporters along with their cameramen and crew.

"This again…" Nejire muttered with a frown. She clearly remembered the reason behind the reporters crowding the entrance – All Might's presence at UA getting leaked. However, even that was just a pretext for the true reason. A certain villain using the reporters as a distraction to sneakily make his way inside UA and steal information.

"Hm… I was expecting Tenko to make his move tomorrow. How odd." Sora said thoughtfully. Then, he smiled. It was unfortunate that he would have to scrap his earlier plan, but now he could do something even better. It was time for a prank! For those that knew him, well… 'Prank' would very well be the last word they would use to describe his shenanigans.

On the even brighter side, he could make use of this opportunity to get closer to Momo as he was planning to initially. If everything played out the way he expected it to, then that day was going to be a phenomenally fruitful one.

And so, not bothering to make their way through the crowd, the siblings take off into the air and float above the crowd. Quite a few cameras are pointed at them as a number of people shout about "public usage of quirks without a license", but that doesn't matter to them. Not only did the Hado family have full autonomy when it came to quirk usage, it also could disregard numerous other similar restrictive laws not only in Japan, but twenty-two other countries.

Should the reporters attempt to write an article about them, it would be shutdown by their higher ups who are already under Mythos. In fact, there wasn't a single prominent news source in Japan that wasn't being controlled by Mythos since a year ago. It was for that reason that when Rumi came to pick Sora up from school, not a single article was released about the matter. Normally, there would've been at least three news channels defaming the rabbit hero for hugging a high schooler in public.

Sora was a sucker for showing affection to those he cared about regardless of when and where, so he nipped any potential future troubles in the bud. The last thing he wanted was for his lovers to suffer due to the public's view of them. If only they were like him when it came to such matters, but alas, that benefit was reserved for someone who had only seen it all. Compared to Sora's dozens, the rest had only been through a few cycles.

"Well then," Sora said as they landed, "don't forget to be in the cafeteria, all right?"

"Got it!" Nejire responded cheerfully as she moved closer to him.

Knowing what she wanted, Sora smiled at her before leaning in and giving her a quick peck on the lips. Nejire is only partially pleased as she closes the distance between their lips once more, this time having it remain that way for at least ten seconds.

Once they're done feeding dog food to the nearby students, who were gawking at the stunningly attractive duo, Nejire happily sets off, while Sora turns to face a dumbfounded Kyoka standing a few meters away.

"Good morning?" He greeted casually.

"Ah, mornin'." Kyoka awkwardly responded. "Your girl?"

"Yeah. My big sister."

Kyoka nodded before she froze. He said she was his sister. But they were kissing on the lips. Like, she knew kissing on the lips among family members was common in a few countries, but this was Japan! Not only that, but the kiss seemed far from one between family members and more like one between lovers. Naturally, she couldn't say anything about the matter, as she only knew her classmate for a few days. It would be extremely tactless of her to be judging when she barely knew anything. Still, she couldn't say nothing after having asked.

"She seems… energetic." Was the best she could think of.

"She is. You should see her at night."

What was THAT supposed to mean!? Was he making a sex joke? Or, did he mean it casually?? If only she could ask him without feeling like burying her head from shame.

"I see…"

"We should probably head to class. Care to join me?"

Kyoka's distraught is blown away by the sight of Sora's extended hand. Was he offering to hold hands as they walked to class together? Normally, Kyoka wouldn't even hesitate to brush it off. But, this was no ordinary situation. The hottest and most awe inspiring guy in their class was friendlily offering his hand! Kyoka was inclined to take it, but just before she could, she heard a voice behind her.

"Jiro and Hado?"

Turning around, Kyoka finds herself facing the graceful beauty of their class, Momo. Her sight then shifts to the entrance behind Momo. To her shock, she happens upon the sight of a wide line having been cleared for students by men dressed in black. Right. Momo was rich. Still, for her to do this… Wait, did she even know that the entrance was going to be crowded, or did she have that many men following her around? Such questions swirled within Kyoka's mind as she stood there wordlessly.

Seeing that Kyoka wasn't going to say anything, Momo shifted her attention to Sora, who had already retracted his arm to his side. "Good morning, Momo."

There it was once again. The way he oh so familiarly called her by her first name. She had noticed that it was something he did for everyone he has mentioned or called so far, but still…

"Good morning."

Now, Sora was in a bit of a pickle. Should he offer his hand to both of them? Realistically speaking, there would be an extremely low chance of them both going along with it, especially since Momo was involved. As one might come to expect, she was one that held that her public image in high regard. Somehow, that didn't apply to being 'a little' skimpily dressed.

Still, he couldn't let this opportunity go to waste. If charming them was not an option, then piquing their curiosity would do just fine.

And so, Sora made quick use of his quirk. What Momo saw ended up stunning her for a few seconds. An ore appeared out of thin air right in front of Sora, and remained floating in place as it rotated. The ore was a beautiful shade of blue that glistened under the sunlight.

"Can you tell what chemical elements make up this stone?" Sora questioned with a grin.

Sensing the challenge in his question, Momo moves closer and begins examining the ore carefully. It was unlike anything she had seen before. Somehow, the ore appeared to exhibit a mix of properties between that of jade and titanium. She had regular contact with such materials due to her family's riches, but the floating ore was something new entirely.

"What is it and where have you obtained it from? How did it appear like so?"

How long had it been since her curiosity had taken a hold of her so badly? It was only to be expected, since a mixture she was unfamiliar with could end up being extremely useful for her quirk. At this point, Kyoka had broken out of her daze and was examining the ore alongside Momo.

"Cool stuff," Kyoka remarked as she poked the ore.

"Thanks. It's a rock from another planet that's inhabited by a species known as Erlorns. They weren't very welcoming of outsiders, so the planet… exploded as a result of a galactic conflict. At least, the resources remained floating about in space for anyone to nab."

Huh??? Did Sora just casually speak about aliens? They not only exist, but an entire planet of aliens just ended up exploding? What the hell was 'galactic conflict'? Was he even telling the truth? He couldn't be pulling their legs… right?

'It sure as hell sounds like he's messing with us.' Kyoka voiced in her mind.

"Is this some form of tasteless joke?" Momo frowned.

"I know it sounds surprising, but everything I said is the truth. If you don't believe me, I can teleport us right to where I got the stone at this very moment. There should be a few spaceship debris floating about as well."

Now, the two were conflicted. Was he actually telling the truth? Why was it that with every interaction, this classmate of theirs became increasingly extraordinary?

"That can be done at another time," Momo finally managed to say after collecting her thoughts, "we will be late to class if we dally here any further."

"Fair point," Sora said as he waved his arm, resulting in the floating ore to vanish. "Tell me if you're interested in outer space. I can take you on a journey at any time."

Momo only nodded politely while Kyoka doubtfully voiced her thoughts. "You mean, you're actually not joking? That thing was from an alien planet?"

"As Momo said earlier, that would be a tasteless joke at best. Such jokes aren't my thing."

"If you say so…" Yeah, she couldn't get herself to believe him with absolute certainty. Truth be told, she felt a little scared of the possibility of aliens existing and entire planets getting exploded. She was just a first-year high school student that had tens of years to live!

The thing is, she would be right. Everything Sora had just claimed was pure bullshit. While it was true that the ore didn't belong to their planet, the story about an alien planet getting blown up and him having retrieving the ore from space was some grade A fantasy. What if the two of them accepted his offer about taking them there earlier? Well, he would simply teleport them along with himself to where one of Phoenix's carrier ships crashed into an asteroid belt. Said carrier was made of the material Sora had shown the two. Incidentally, the ore was often called 'mythril' from where it originated. The particular piece Sora exhibited was refined Magick Mythril. It had special properties that was used around a hundred years later as the core material for weapons and tools commonly referred to as Quirk Tools.

That aside, the three students of 1A began walking through campus side by side, conversing about various topics such as the reason behind the crowded school entrance, Momo's rich family, Sora's surprisingly similarly rich background, and such matters.

-----

The bell signifying the start of the first break rang. It took no time for UA's hallways to get crowded as students made their way to the cafeteria.

Of the groups that were heading there, one stood out quite a bit. Sora, who was walking alongside four of his female classmates. To his left were Mina and Tooru, while to his right were Momo and Kyoka. The latter two were tagging along due to them still having a few questions about the morning. Kyoka wanted to know more about Sora's personal life. For instance, whether he had lived in a foreign country for a while or not. He did mention that he spoke a lot of languages, after all.

On the other hand, Momo was more curious about the unusual ore that Sora showed her. When they were walking to class, he claimed that he could easily make her create it through teaching her about some elements that she didn't know existed. Though she was slightly doubtful about there being 'new' elements, it somewhat made sense considering Sora's claim of the ore being of alien origin.

"By the way, is it just me, or was Mr. Aizawa glaring at Hado much more than unusual?" Kyoka inquired.

"Yeah, you noticed that too!?" Mina voiced.

"I may have pulled a small prank on him." Sora simply said, and refused to elaborate no matter how much the girls pestered him. Momo was the only one to remain relatively silent during the walk.

It didn't take long for the group to arrive in the cafeteria. Once again, their arrival was noticed by almost all students, many of which were staring at Sora. His classmates were already used to the attention, since this practically occurred every single time Sora set foot into the cafeteria. While they might not have come with him, that didn't mean they didn't on their own.

All of a sudden, there was a bolt of blue(?) as a figure rushed toward Sora. The next thing Sora's classmates knew was that Sora was being embraced by a beautiful student with similarly colored hair. It took a moment for Momo to deduce that the girl was related to him due to the similarities in their hair and face.

"Sora~!" The girl said in a muffled tone as she nuzzled her face into his chest.

"Geez, one would think I don't shower you with love at home," Sora muttered exasperatedly as he brushed his hand through her long hair.

"But still~" Yeah, this one was supposedly Sora's older sister, yet she appeared to be the younger one when one looked at the duo from the side.

Such was the case when it came to his classmates as they looked on with slight wonder.

"Come on, let's grab a tray, fill it up, and get seated."

With that, the group took a seat after informing Sora of what they wished to eat. The latter simply used a form of what most assumed to be telekinesis to prepare multiple trays at once and place them on the table. The entire proceed took no longer than ten seconds.

"All right, everyone." Sora grabbed their attention before they could dig in to the food. "Meet my older sister, Nejire Hado."

Out of all of them, Momo felt like the girl looked somewhat familiar. Had they met before?

"Hello~!" Nejire greeted with a bright smile. If she hadn't experienced a multitude of Dives, she would be showering them with questions in regards to their appearance, family, and quirk. However, that didn't mean she wouldn't ask any questions.

"Are you all going to be my sisters?"

It was good thing that they weren't eating, or else two out of four of the girls would've highly likely spat out the food. They were originally planning to introduce themselves to her, but that was cut short.

While the other three didn't know what to say, Tooru simply chimed in to proclaim, "I'm in!"

Her reaction stunned the other girls. Tooru knew what Nejire was referring to, right?

"Great!" Was Nejire's response as she welcomed her happily. That further made the mood awkward for the rest as they struggled to come up with a response. In Mina's case, it would be a lie to say that she wasn't interested in Sora. Then, there was Kyoka who thought back to everything she had seen of Sora, making her realize she was probably interested in him. Not romantically… yet(?).

As for Momo? She had one question in mind.

"How many sisters do you have?"

At that, Nejire took a short while to think of an answer. "If we're counting Tooru, then… ten?"

'TEN!?' The girls collectively thought. Was Sora forming a harem or something!?

"I should take this chance to state that those she refers to as 'sister' aren't necessarily my lovers. They could be those I've come to be protective of due to past events."

At that, they calmed down, somewhat. Kyoka couldn't help but ask, "Then, how many lovers do you have?"

"Three are in UA, is all I'm going to say."

Each of those present had a differing reaction. The one that stood out most was Nejire's as she simply beamed a smile. That, however, was something Kyoka found suspicious as she recalled that morning's kiss.

"Is your sister…?" Kyoka could finally get herself to ask as her curiosity won over.

"Nejire? Why, she's my lover, yes."

…

…

Now, THAT, was unexpected. At least, that was the case for Tooru, Mina, and Momo. Kyoka was already suspicious, so all that did was confirm her suspicions. Once again, she wasn't going to judge! Maybe, they weren't blood related? One quick look at them side by side wrote off that notion. Then… perhaps they were distant cousins that somehow ended up as siblings? Unlikely…

"Isn't that bad…?" Momo questioned with a light frown. She was referring to Quirkology – a branch of human evolution biology that studied quirks and the inherence patterns. One thing that was quickly noted was that incest fueled mutations that resulted in never seen before quirks – and not in a good way.

"I assume you're referring to quirk mutations?" Sora asked calmly.

"Yes."

"Then, you can set your worries aside. EX-Class quirks are exceptional even when it comes to that. Due to the nature of the studies on EX-Class quirks, there isn't much data for the public, but this is the one thing that I can assure you on."

Momo was satisfied with the response. At least, it didn't seem like their relationship was an illogically destructive one. Cases of 'too in love to care about consequences' were all too common when it came to human relationships, unfortunately.

"But, still," Mina interjected, "she's your sister… How does it even happen? Like, falling for each other and all that? How old were you when this began?"

Both Sora and Nejire refused to answer such questions as they only smiled politely. What Mina was asking fell into very personal information, but that wasn't the reason they didn't answer. It was because the explanation would be too long and… bizarre. Such was often the case when you regressed through time.

Mina appeared to realize that the questions were uncalled for, considering she had only known Sora for a few days and had just met Nejire. Thus, she lowered her head and dug into her food somewhat awkwardly.

In an attempt to uplift the mood, Tooru quickly thought of a subject. Then, she knew exactly what to say.

"By the way, whose the mother of your daughter?"

Mina immediately began coughing on the spoonful she just ate, while Momo and Kyoka stared at Sora with wide eyes. Daughter? Sora was a father already? Wasn't he fifteen or sixteen like them!?

"I believe I already explained the circumstances behind my daughter's biological parents." Sora stated with one brow raised.

"I mean, if she calls you 'Papa', then who does she call 'Mama'?"

"Is this your way of checking who my other lovers might be?" Sora questioned wryly.

"Ehe~"

Sora deliberated for a moment before shrugging and saying, "You will soon come to find this one out on your own anyway, so I might as well say it – Kaina."

"Who?" Tooru immediately questioned curiously.

"Nope. That's all I'm going to say."

"No fair!" Mina remarked.

"Such is the way of the world." Sora stated sagely. Ah, crap, he was acting like an old man again. Thankfully, the rest took it as him doing it jokingly as Tooru and Momo giggled.

It was a this moment that an alarm rang loudly. The students became visibly restless as many got up from their seats in order to hastily exit the cafeteria.

"What's going on?" Tooru asked nervously.

"This alarm is one that's supposed to ring when there is an intruder on campus."

"An intruder!?" Tooru now sounded much more dismayed.

"Calm down, it's nothing much." Sora's voice clearly reached each of the girls despite the chaos surrounding them. "Would you guys like to see a villain?"

Huh? Was he suggesting that they go observe the intruder?

"My butler should already have him cornered by now."

Now, the girls didn't know what to make of his statement. Firstly, Sora apparently had a butler that was currently in UA. Second, his butler was probably quite powerful based on Sora's confidence. So, they simply agreed to go along with him.

---

Tenko Shimura hated everything. But, there were a few things which he hated far more than the rest. One of which was All Might. That idealistic moron that stood above, looking down on everyone from his disgusting throne.

Never would Tenko have thought that there would come a day he would hate someone more than All Might. Then, Sora happened.

A simple stealth mission turned into a problematic side quest when a cheat NPC appeared and ruined his progress. Everything was going just fine before he was assaulted by a butler and tied up.

"We shall wait for My Lord's arrival." Was all he said before turning silent.

Tenko tried his best to break free from whatever was used to tie his arms up behind him, but he failed. Even his quirk failed to do anything, for some reason.

It didn't take long before the door leading to the teacher's lounge opened as the one Tenko could only assume to be the butler's 'lord' entered. Behind him, five curious girls tagged along. Once the girls set their eyes on Tenko, who was tied up on the ground, they grimaced.

A villain – that was the best description that could be used for his appearance. He had disheveled blue hair, a face that was littered with scars, and piercing red eyes.

"Yo, Tenko!" The NPC muttered with a disgustingly bright smile. "How has your dad been doing?"

Tenko froze. What the hell did this NPC just say?

"My dad?" He couldn't help but voice. "And, who the hell is Tenko?"

"Oh, yeah. You are going by the name Tomura right now. My bad." Sora muttered a lackluster apology that seemed mocking in nature. "Also, your dad – All for One? Has he been doing well?"

Okay, this guy was definitely no NPC. A player two? A BOSS? Tenko wondered in his mind as he deliberated on how Sora knew about him and Sensei. He felt a great urge to itch his neck, but couldn't due to his hands being tied. That goddamn butler! (A/N:- It feels equally weird to write sensei or teacher, so I just chose to stick with the former.)

Speaking of which, said butler was curiously observing the girls behind Sora. "My Lord, this is quite the company you have."

Sebastian's voice startled the girls as they turned to face the source, only to be met with the sight of the devilish butler who was standing with his arms crossed behind his back.

"The butler…" Kyoka muttered as she observed him from head to toe. The butler appeared to be a foreigner, yet spoke perfect Japanese.

"They're my classmates," Sora explained (not that he needed to).

Tenko was getting annoyed. What was up with this stupid side-quest? It was way more troublesome than it was supposed to be. The worst part of it all was that he was caught by a rich kid's butler of all personnel.

"Hm… From the look in your eyes, it seems that you've not given up, huh?" Sora questioned as he crouched and placed his palm on Tenko's head. The latter visibly cringed as he shook his body and head in an attempt to get Sora's hand off.

"Now, now, calm down. I might consider letting you go if you entertain me well enough."

What? It wasn't just Tenko that doubted his ears, but the girls too. Why would Sora let go of a captured intruder?? Wait, maybe he was only saying this to obtain information form the intruder?

Such thoughts were immediately dismissed when they saw a small object take form in front of Sora. It was an All Might figurine that was about twenty centimeters in length. What stood out most about the figurine was the ridiculously oversized butt. It was obviously done comically.

"…" Tenko was speechless as he observed the figurine. Where did that come from and what did he plan to do with it?

"If you kiss this thing's bum ten times, I will let you go."

At that, Tenko realized Sora probably knew much more than he thought earlier. For some reason, he knew about his hate for All Might. Not only that, but he was mocking him for it.

"I'll kill you…" Tenko hissed as he struggled to get his arms free.

"That's not happened," Sora simply said as he shook the All Might figurine. "You only have one chance of getting out of here. Do as I say."

Of course, he won't. He would rather have his lips sewn together than kiss that disgusting object.

"If you're hoping for Kurogiri to rescue you, then I'm not so sorry to say that won't be happening either."

…

…

No. He won't do it. They might as well capture him.

"Fine, this may be too much." Sora sighed. "How about this: You shout 'All for One is my bitch.' at the top of your lungs."

What the fuck is wrong with this guy? Tenko felt like there was something wrong with his brain to be making these weird requests. However, this time, he considered it. Sensei would understand if he said something like that to escape from some stupid heroes.

And so, after some internal debate, Tenko decided to do it. He feigned enthusiasm before smiling and saying, "All for One is my bitch."

"Good boy." Sora smiled as he ruffled Tenko's hair.

Fuck this piece of shit garbage hero. All Might? To hell with him as long as this rich kid existed. Tenko would make sure to make his life hell if he got out of here.

"I guess we're done here." Sora stated before waving his hand. The next thing Tenko knew was that he was no longer in the teacher's lounge, but outside of UA. Whatever it was that had bound his hands together was gone.

"Why did you let him go?" Momo was glaring at Sora.

"Why don't you tell me why?" Sora seemed unperturbed.

At that, Momo began to think. Why would Sora let a possible villain go? Wouldn't it be best to hand him over to school and thus by extension the police for detainment?

"Let's just say there is so much more to gain by doing this." Sora explained. "You heard me mention 'All for One', right? That's a villain that All Might would throw away his entire career to catch. I simply used Tenko as bait."

That was only small part of it, naturally. Sora's actions were never so linear. Everything he did served multiple purposes. Now, what benefits were there for Sora for doing what he did today?

His main objectives were the following: Find out about where the League of Villains stayed in this cycle, get a certain quirk hoarder's attention, and teach the heroes to be a precious lesson.

Two of those objectives were self-explanatory, but the lesson was a tad bit complicated. See, hero students, especially first-years, tended to be idealistic and naive. Their line of thought when it came to heroism was extremely limited. If one were to ask them what a good hero was, they would simply say something along the following lines:

- A hero that quickly detains villains and hands them to the government to deal with.

- A hero that saves those stuck in rubble, fire, and other hazards as a result of villains wrecking havoc.

- A hero that gives hope to the people in the face of adversity.

While none of those appear to be wrong, but if one where to rationalize heroism, they would come to realize that it's much more than that. For instance, there are times when letting a villain go is better than detaining them. Or, when a hero is caught up between saving more lives at the expense of a few deaths. Then there is the whole issue with 'hope' being that it stemmed from exploiting ignorance. The world was far from being all rainbows and sunshine, but 'hope' colored it as such – at least, claiming that such a future was possible, when it never will be. In layman terms, 'hope' is a beautiful word for a complicated white lie.

Sora has already been dealing with these issues. For instance, back during the 'special test', he had heroes choose who is the better one before the other was dealt with. Then, he had a group decide among themselves who was the least worthy and punishing them for it 'for the greater good', which was saving the rest of their classmates.

It was the small things that accumulated over time to make up one's sense of reality. For now, Sora was in no rush, so he made do with this much.

"Oh, dear." A voice suddenly caused everyone to look over toward the door. There, standing atop Shota's shoulder was a small white creature in a tuxedo. It had a small scar crossing its right eye. As for Shota, he stood there with a few bandages on him. Fucking Satan…

"Finally decided to meet me?" Sora questioned as he approached the duo. He had already sensed Shota and Nezu as they approached the lounge.

"Why, yes, I had to make sure to look presentable at least."

"You don't look any different than usual."

"That might be the case, but the same can't be said for the school."

Oho? Had the rat done a bit of preparation since he had told him he would be coming to UA?

"I'm guessing there are some surprises for me?" Sora grinned.

"Indeed…"

The girls observed the exchange curiously. Who was the tiny creature? Only one of them had an idea – Momo. She was welcomed into UA by the principal due to being one of the accepted recommended students.

Said principal was now speaking with Sora like an a friend or equal. She had already expected something like this, based on how Sora was selected as their overseer, but it was still an odd sight.

Apart from Sora and Nejire, no one else had noticed that Sebastian was no longer present.

In a dimly lit room, a man sat. The man had wretched flesh where his eyes were supposed to be, and a tube was attached to his mouth and nose. It was obvious that he was quite ill.

A sudden noise rang through the silent room, earning the man's attention. He brought the device forth and checked for whatever may have caused it to ring.

"All for One is my bitch!" Came a familiar voice from the device, which was one of the many phones he used for his fake identities. On the screen, he could see (somehow) Tomura on the ground with his arms behind him.

Captioned at the bottom of the video in front of a black text box were the words "Since he's my bitch, then you'd be my bitch's bitch?"

The man chuckled. It appeared that someone didn't know their place and had gotten daring. Well then...
