Chapter 129: Something Big Coming

[Hours Ago]

"Would you like us to do something else, ma'am?" The spa worker bent 90 degrees and waited for an answer. Normally, in these situations, she would correct her posture, look into the eyes of the person and wait.

However, the person on the other end was preventing her from doing so. It was clear that she was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. No model, Miss Country, or any woman could say that she was more beautiful or had better body lines than this woman.

Everything about the woman was beautiful, the embodiment of the word "beautiful". Her beautiful ocean-blue eyes bore the gaze of the succubus that engulfed one's soul, the pride and arrogance of the queen, and the brilliance of a pair of stars. It even glowed a bit, which gave her an air of mystery and unusualness.

Her body had the golden ratio. At first, his two big, lively breasts could make any woman jealous. Even she, as a woman, wanted to squeeze them and know how it made them feel. There was no extra fat in her waist, it made one want to wrap it. Her hips were perfectly circular, and her legs were like perfect columns that couldn't be put into words.

Not only that, the woman's body seemed to have been thought through to the smallest detail. Fingers, toes, neck, collarbone, fingernails, every bit of her, would depress women and prevent them from ever being proud of themselves again, and impress men to the point that they're not attracted to any other woman but her.

Despite all this, the woman was not looking at her. Despite the bad situations described above, human beings are creatures who are interested in and love the beautiful and handsome, and she was one of them, and even if she knew that all this would happen, she wanted to watch the woman until she was satisfied.

But she wasn't doing that. The first reason was the authoritarian air that the woman exuded. It prevented her from raising her neck and looking at her.

The second was the wrinkle... on the woman's face.

"No, you can go. Tell him the manager can come." She saw the woman wave her hand. She continued to stand, bent at ninety degrees and spoke.

''Thank you very much for choosing us. Enjoy your spa and other stuff, have a nice day.''

The door closed, and after a few seconds, it opened again. A clean-dressed, 40-45-year-old man, obviously the boss, walked in. But he didn't have the boss attitude. On the contrary, he had a more modest attitude than the officer who came out. From the moment he entered, he had been careful not to even look at her toes.

"Teka-sama, thank you so much for choosing us. Bring you some of our best medicine-''

''Shut up.''

"Yes, ma'am." The man showed no sign of displeasure, even as he was forcefully silenced by the woman. He walked towards the woman with a pleasant smile, still not looking at her face.

He took out a heart rate monitor, took out a few more instruments to stick around her neck and veins, and began to measure all of Teka's possible values.

"Sigh* Do you really need all this every time?"

"!!?" The man's body visibly trembled, he knew the tigress was looking at him. He could feel it. He told himself over and over not to look at her or it would be the last thing he did and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Y-Yes, there is. You could be pregnant, ate something that upsets your stomach, or simply have your values ​​fluctuate, which could cause an adverse drug reaction and undesirable consequences. I can't take responsibility for this.''

"Hahh… Anyway, just do whatever you have to do." The woman nodded and left him as he was. The man nodded like a chicken pecking bait and gave more than 100% to what he was doing.

This woman was Teka, and after what she had seen this morning, she had decided to stop by a place she hadn't been in for a long time.

What Teka Todoroki was most proud of was neither her money, her power, her companies, nor her success. Even her family, which occupied a large part of her life, was not what she was most proud of. It was in second place.

The thing she was most proud of was her genes. The genes she inherited from her family were her greatest pride.

Not only had they given her great potential since her birth, but they had also given Teka her looks and personality, which was something else she was proud of.

They had also bestowed upon her great youth. Despite reaching this age, Teka owed her youthful and fiery appearance to her genes. Her genes had kept her alive and well up to this time, possibly holding the title of being the oldest living human but the youngest.

But genes weren't everything. Genes would age, just like cells. No matter how perfect the gene, it could not stand the test of time and prevent old age. Unless you're a speedster or something like that.

And instead of relying on her genes, Teka found another solution. Even the thought of having wrinkles, saggy flesh and breasts, a hunched back, and diseases was so humiliating and disgusting to her. She would rather die than be that kind of person.

This solution was a drug similar to Trigger.

This drug was highly preferred by the wealthy and unlike Trigger, it was not leaked. It was known only to the wealthy by tacit and written agreement. Even Hawks, who has a past with the government and the wealthy, was unaware of this drug.

The case of the drug was quite simple. This drug, taken every two years, stopped aging. It was a drug that slowed the aging of cells as much as possible, and she had been taking this drug since she was in her thirties. Yoshino was also taking this medicine with her, and that was the reason why they looked so young despite their old age.

Normally, She should have used this medicine a month ago, but She did not have time to take the medicine because of the overlapping events. Thanks to her genes, her aging was as late as possible.

But when she got up this morning, she found wrinkles under her eyes and on her cheeks. Her breasts, the parts of her she was most proud of, though she never said it, didn't look so alive anymore. She was starting to feel a few bone pains.

Teka had set aside her rest plans for today and came here. She wanted to use this drug as soon as possible.

"Ighh... I'll be the same as before, right?" Teka was staring at herself, or rather at her wrinkles, on the black screen of her phone. She flipped the phone, pulled the corner of her eyes with her hand, and tried to wipe away the wrinkles for a moment.

''Yes, ma'am. With the urgent message you sent us, I brought you the best. This will bring you back to your oldself." The man spoke proudly. The medicine in the bag lying on the floor beside him was his pride. They had the only ones on the market, and that was the reason why his Spa rose among the wealthy.

This time Teka did not interrupt the man's boasting. She let out a sigh of relief and lost interest in the man. She was still staring at her wrinkles and sagging breasts.

She tilted her phone screen forward and exhaled. The man stopped what he was doing and did not dare to make any movement. He thought he was doing something wrong.

Teka was not in the mood to answer him. She opened her phone and started browsing. Looking at her wrinkles and other problems, she was depressed.

She started surfing the internet. She needed to focus on something else. If she stared at her wrinkles any more, the man next to her could pass out and it would take longer.

She read the news, toured the sites, and studied company stocks and opinions about her company.

While surfing the internet, she saw that a message had arrived. She looked at who wrote it. It was a number she didn't know.

When she saw that it was an unknown number, she couldn't care less.

Ding!

However, the other party was a little too insistent. Messages notifications were coming one after another, as a busy person, she would constantly receive notifications on her phone. That's why she couldn't see what was written in the messages.

Just as she was about to think it was an obsessive fan and ignore it, one of its messages popped into her view.

{Are you sure you want to ignore me? Don't regret it later}

This message appeared for a moment and then disappeared amongst other notifications. Teka's eyebrows curved inward. The phone pervert or fan this time was too arrogant. Usually, the fans who texted her, the owners, or the company guys who came to partner with her companies would do various things to get her attention.

She had even seen someone shoot a half-hour video in the Dogeza position.

But in the midst of all this, this person was very arrogant. Teka clicked her tongue, ignored the message, and continued surfing the web.

{Apparently, you won't answer me}

{Well, let's try a different method.}

Teka's expression darkened even more. It was the first time that an unnecessary person had gotten on her nerves this much. She frowned hard enough to increase the wrinkles on her forehead and tapped the message to block the person.

"!!" Teka's movements stopped abruptly. Her mind, which did not shake even in the worst situations, trembled, her pupils trembling violently. Her hair turned yellow in an instant, and the temperature of the room sharply increased.

A primitive, barbaric air emanated from Teka and filled the room. Measuring Teka's lifetime value, the man's eyes turned white, and he passed out as foaming bubbles poured out of his mouth.

{How about a meeting? Come to Abu&Wei.}

Next to Shoto, who was sleeping innocently in the dark room with his eyes closed, was the caption below a photograph of a grinning teenager with ash-colored hair, inappropriate wrinkles, and a hideous smile from ear to ear.

Teka grabbed the heart rate monitor on her left arm, the various vital-value-measuring needle tubes, and the cables of the instruments and forcibly removed them. Needles stuck in her veins tore her blood vessels, but she didn't mind.

Her wrinkles and signs of aging were there, but she didn't care anymore. She got up from her seat. She stomped on the ground hard, the rough sound of her heels echoing across the room and outside. She opened the door and went out.

...

"Sensei..." A drowsy voice was heard in the middle of Abu&Wei's elegant atmosphere. The person seemed to be stretching the word on purpose. There was a weariness in the voice, hostility towards life, and most importantly, a childish excitement as if he had found a new amusement.

"Is the Tigress going to come?" In the middle of her speech, a frenzied scratching sound began to be heard. It was an obsession, perhaps pointing to a problem.

''She will. A Tiger like her will come to smash anything that stretches her claws on her cub." Another voice was heard. It was a more mature sound, laryngeal, and was accompanied by several deep breaths, which indicated that he was suffering from respiratory problems.

Abu&Wei, which generally carries a luxurious and heartwarming elegance, was a bit crowded and complicated this time. It was dark and featured various villains, to be precise, Kurogiri, Spinner, and his team.

The old bartender stood tied up on the side. He was soiled, his clothes were wrinkled, and he had scars on his face. However, with an upright stance, he did not compromise his grace.

The boy at the table drinking and scratching his neck was Tomura Shigaraki. He was talking to A.F.O on the other side of the television in front of him and sipping his drink.

''It should come soon...''

Click!

The door opened and the two of them stopped talking. Their gaze turned to the door.

The face of the person entering was shadowed by darkness. Reflecting behind her, in the bright light of the setting sun, all that was visible was a pair of eyes staring at the band and the man on the other side of the screen set above the bar table.

There was no emotion in her eyes or face. She looked inside with eerie numbness, her gaze resting on the bartender for a few seconds. The index finger of her right hand twitched slightly from her resting hands on either side. For a moment her veins were seen and hardened, the next second they disappeared into her flesh.

She withdrew her gaze from the bartender and walked in, staring at her. Accompanied by the harsh click of her heels, she walked over to Tomura and sat down. She put her hands on the bar table and called out.

"Uncle, Give me the usual."

'' It's coming right away."

The ropes that tied the man sitting on the ground suddenly fell. Before the men next to him noticed, he disappeared from where he was and landed in front of the two of them. With a towel in one hand and a glass in the other, he began to prepare Teka's drink.

Teka, Tomura, and the man on the screen did not speak. A few minutes passed, and the drink was prepared. The man placed the drink in front of Teka with a gentle smile.

"Thanks." Teka grasped the glass with two fingers and held it up to drink. But she didn't drink, she stared at the drink for a moment.

She was now realizing that she hadn't been drinking as much lately. Not counting the drinks she had with Blake and the girls on happy and celebratory days, she didn't drink, even when she felt sad and suffocated as she used to.

In the past, when she was on good terms with Yoshino, when she felt bad, she would hug him and try to get out of her mood. And it was quite successful. But ever since her relationship with him deteriorated, she had devoted herself to drinking.

Recently, however, she had only had a few drinks with Blake, except for the celebration, and hadn't drunk it other than that.

Because it wasn't necessary. If she was in a bad mood, the girls and Blake would quit what they are doing and take care of her. If something went wrong, the whole family would mobilize to fix it. If she was happy, they would celebrate the moment.

"Gulp*" Her expression softened as she thought about it, now she wanted to have this drink on these feelings. She began to turn the glass in her hand, the clear and beautifully colored liquid swirling in the glass. She brought it close to her lips and sipped.

"After your threat, you think I won't kill your dear student?" Contrary to her happy mood, she took a sip of the drink, then pulled the glass from her lips and spoke. Her expression did not change, she continued to stare at the glass with delicate emotion.

Teka turned the glass, and after it had made a full circle, the dim light reflected her face and emotionless blue eyes.

Personally speaking, she could have killed someone. Not the innocent, but she didn't think she would hesitate to kill her enemy. Unlike her son Endeavor, her husband Yoshino, and other heroes, she saw the realities of humanity with her own eyes and knew how bad they could be for a few things.

However, she had never killed anyone in her life. By the time this reasoning came to pass, she was already married to Yoshino. And she knew how Yoshino was against taking the life of a creature.

Yoshino was not someone who lived through the "hero" fantasy. But at his core, he was a hero and a man who adored heroes and their rules. The killing was something he never wanted to see.

Aware of this, Teka had left all her enemies alive despite her awareness and was content with taking what they had.

She knew that a cornered dog could be very dangerous. But what if she pulled out that dog's claws and teeth, could that dog still hurt her? Maybe it could, but she had made sure her enemies couldn't and sent them to the bottom to make sure they wouldn't come across again.

As expected of a royal queen, she had stepped on the people and was not ashamed of it. Yet she buried her deepest thoughts, which contradicted her husband's thoughts.

But this man dared to touch her grandson. If he touched the most valuable of her, she would take the most valuable of him, and even A.F.O couldn't stop it.

"You can, but you won't. You don't touch your grandson until you know his situation. Otherwise, you know that bad things could happen to your grandchild, maybe even die." The irritating voice had an irritating joy. His words carried great joy and delight, and his words were lengthy, showing that Teka was very pleased with this state of affairs and was not afraid of him.

Teka's movement stopped. An eyebrow rose, and her fingers are clenched and relaxed. She sighed lightly and asked.

''Where is he? If you want to discuss something with me, show him first and put him in a safe place. If anything happens to him, I'll come for your head." Teka took a sip of her drink. A wisp of yellow light appeared at the roots of her hair. The temperature of the environment increased dramatically, the table in front of Teka, the glass in her hand, and even the computer screen made of heat-resistant materials began to melt.

''Calm down. I know that. Look at this." The image on the screen changed. Teka's eyes moved to the side and she glanced sideways at the screen.

The image on the screen has changed to the building where other students are staying. The image zoomed in and showed the inside of a glass. On the other side of the glass, Shoto was sleeping in his bed.

Teka let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He took another sip of his wine with a sense of relief.

''Tell me, what do you want?'

''...'' There was no response from the other side. The image on the screen changed again, revealing the A.F.O. attached to a bunch of gadgets. A.F.O's condition wasn't so good after his battle with All Might, but still, as he stared at her, his lips curved up in delight, on his face that was devoid of any other parts.

"Teka Todoroki, we have been at war with you for a long time financially and effectively. Unlike stupid heroes and my irreconcilable enemy, One For All, I enjoy my battle with you.

"There are no unnecessary ideals and thoughts in our war. No humanity right or stupid heroic teachings. I can feel that I am fighting someone equal to me."

"But you're getting in my way." His smile faded in an instant. His face, which lacked the parts it was supposed to be, became expressionless, his expression on the dark screen becoming eerie.

Teka continued to drink her drink indifferently. The villain stood on the sidelines, with their distinctive stances, waiting for the two to finish their conversation. Tomura, on the other hand, was frantically scratching his neck with both hands due to Teka's indifferent demeanor. His unstable pupils were trembling, gleaming with wild emotions.

"Should I be afraid?" Teka tilted her head, her lava hair falling over her shoulders. Her eyes narrowed slightly, challenging A.F.O with her words and gaze.

''Of course not. No need to fear. You know what? Other than you, I didn't think there was anyone who would get in my way."

"Because those as strong as us were immersed in their world. Pink Lavender is lost, as usual, the Harem King continues to enjoy with his women. Rabid Hound, on the other hand, is burning with greed for power, and according to the latest information, he is still desperately trying to increase his influence and power."

"Only you, Teka Todoroki, only your side, and thoughts are not clear. I can't tell which side you belong to, I don't even know your strength, and it bothers me."

"That's why I "called" you here today." A.F.O. emphasized the word ''Call''. Teka's shoulders trembled slightly, but there was no smile on her face. A.F.O had used a rather interesting method to summon her here.

"Teka Todoroki, I want to end this long war between us both. I want to fight you, just like I did with All Might."

Teka stopped her movement, placed the glass on the table, and looked at A.F.O with an emotionless expression. The bartender stopped his movements and looked shocked at Teka and A.F.O on the screen.

He opened his mouth to say something. He should have stopped her. A.F.O's power and influence were known all over the world, and Teka could not fight him alone.

Teka raised her hand, the bartender swallowing his words. Teka continued to stare at A.F.O. She placed her hand on the bar table and began tapping it with her index finger. After thinking about the man's words for a while, she spoke.

"Location and time."

A.F.O was silent for a few seconds, a grim smile forming on his organless face. He tilted his head back, his smile looking bigger.

"I have already decided. I think you'll like it too." A.F.O clasped his hands together and leaned forward. The cords of instruments glued, tied, and wrapped around his arms and body became even tenser. He waved to the few people who were trying to stop him, throwing them to the edge of the room. The cries of pain echoed, and there was no more sound.

"There is only one month left to the new year. Let's fight at the dawn of the new year, on the night of the 31st of December. Only one of us will see the new year and will enter the new year without the other party. What do you think?''

"Agreed." Teka agreed instantly. The bartender's body tensed, reaching for her hand to stop Teka, but Teka withdrew his hand, preventing him from doing so.

''Good. It was decided then. Kurogiri.''

At A.F.O's behest, as if prepared well in advance, Kurogiri took a few steps forward and respectfully but alertly approached Teka. With both hands, he handed Teka a piece of paper.

Without looking at Kurogiri or the paper, Teka stretched her left hand back and took the paper with two-finger, over her shoulder, and stood up. She headed for the exit.

She reached Tomura in one step. Tomura's crazy eyes were fixed on the woman. He was scratching his neck with both hands, his eyes with red veins, hidden by his hair, looking at her as if he wanted to eat her alive.

BAM!!

Things changed in an instant. Enraged Tomura was sent back and broke through the wall and flew into the empty street. The flight was so swift as if he had been thrown with great force.

Clank!

Teka stepped forward as if nothing had happened. Her posture had not changed, and her gait had not stopped. Even when Tomura flew backward, she was in the middle of her stride and kept walking undisturbed.

"Don't ever come near my grandson again," Teka said these words before leaving the group and Tomura alone. She went out the door, turned left, and left. She left the confused villain behind.

"Go get him and return to headquarters. Don't touch this guy either. We don't need to provoke the Tigress any further."

"HA!" The villains responded harshly to A.F.O's words and rushed to Tomura. Kurogiri came out the door, looking over Teka's back as he ran to Tomura.

Somehow he seemed to see in her the white-haired man he had seen months before. He couldn't understand how two different people could be so alike. They were like two halves of an apple.

**

''Ah...''

"Don't shout, Tomura. You deserved this. You shouldn't have stepped on the tail of a tigress, especially that Tigress."

At one of the Evil League's main bases, Tomura was screaming and yelling as he stared at his newly acquired wounds. His teacher, A.F.O, was trying to calm his erratic mood so that he wouldn't do anything to provoke the Tigress.

"I want you to be calm, Tomura. Don't let your anger get in my way." He emphasized the word "my way" in particular. His fight with the Teka was going to be a turning point for him, and he wouldn't let go, even if Tomura got in his way.

He didn't know of Teka's strength, but his senses told him that he would be an even greater enemy than All Might. He had to be prepared, set aside Tomura, who had a gritted expression, and called out to Kurogiri.

"Kurogiri!"

"Yes?" A purple portal appeared next to Tomura. Kurogiri in a suit came out of the portal.

''Prepare All Nomu's. I want each one to be ready by 1 month later. I specifically want you to get Gigan out.'' A.F.O's orders came one after another. Kurogiri made sure he had each one in mind.

"And I will give you a list. Find people with Quirks on this list." A.F.O's face disappeared from the screen. A list appeared with various Quirk names written on top of the black screen.

"I'll do it right away."

"Also, release the Nine in the few days before our battle. I don't want 1-A, who always gets in our way, ruining this job either. Let them take care of him."

''Yes, sir!''

"Finally, start arranging the villain from each city. I don't want anyone to interrupt our war. We're going to make a big noise that day."

''Yes, sir!''

Kurogiri bowed ninety degrees after receiving the orders. He didn't change his posture, his body was pulled into the purple portal that appeared below him. All that was left of the room was Tomura and A.F.O on the other side of the screen.

Neither of them spoke. They were lost in their thoughts. They were both contemplating what to do in the imminent mess.

Dark clouds began to gather over Japan. The dark clouds were as dark as the future of Japan, even of the world. The winds that were the forerunner of the storm began to blow. Some birds turned their heads to the dark clouds, flapping their wings, heading south where they felt safer.

Something was approaching, something that would affect not only Japan but the whole world.
