Chapter 2: Thugs

[Congratulations! You have received 'Ice-Make' of Gray Fullbuster from Fairy Tale!

Note— An icy skill for an icy heart!]

[Congratulations! You have received Cytokinetic Affinity!

Note— You're lucky!]

Looking at the two spins Akihiro frowned.

Lucky?

Not even a child would believe that.

"Ice Magic... It's not bad." After thinking about it he decided to not complain. It was way better than just releasing fog.

"It seems a bit underwhelming considering all the types of abilities the characters here have but it should be a good killing tool. I can use this."

Akihiro knew that Ice Make itself was a very good ability. Fairytale was a high-level world which My Hero Academia couldn't compare to. Gray Fullbuster himself could probably wipe out everyone in this world.

The only reason for 'Probably' was because Akihiro hadn't finished My Hero Academia. His knowledge was incomplete and thus there might be some characters that had unreasonable Quirks that defied logic.

In fact, Shigaraki's Quirk in itself was quite a bit of a cheat.

Shaking his head Akihiro decided to act quickly. It was better to wrap things up before things proceeded to the point where he would have no idea what was happening.

After unlocking his phone he quickly searched for a few news articles regarding the Unforeseen Joint Simulation which made him realise that Tomura Shigaraki had yet to attack it.

Since it has been years he obviously wouldn't remember any dates. Only key incidents like this could allow him to accurately determine how much the plot had progressed. 

Speaking of key incidents, wasn't Bakugo getting attacked by the slime a famous incident because of Midoriya blindly rushing in to save his friend and All Might coming to save them?

Akihiro quickly changed his query and the results made his face turn grim.

There were a few articles from ten months ago.

"Midoriya trains with All Might and takes the U.A Entrance Exam... When was the latest Entrance Exam?"

[U.A Entrance Exam! Spectacular Results!]

A week ago.

That was the date of the release of the article.

"He's already inside U.A.... This makes things difficult." Akihiro was hoping for Midoriya to not have met All Might so he could easily take care of the Quirkless Kid.

But things had turned south, his luck hadn't worked in favour of him.

"But there's still a chance..." His eyes shone as he let out a chilly breath while staring at the shards of ice gathering on top of his palm, "Let's see if it works."

...

"Oye, hands against the wall!" A rough voice sounded and three men gathered around a vulnerable young man.

He looked as if he had just come back from work. 

"What do you g-guys want?" The vulnerable young man muttered and took a few steps back in apprehension.

The leader of the thugs was a bulky man looking to be in his late thirties. He had a stubble and his eyes portrayed his exhaustion.

Feeling irritated he grabbed the young vulnerable man by his tie, "You want me to rip your clothes apart and do the searching myself huh? No one's going to come save you in the dark alleyway. Number 3, get on with it."

Number 3 nodded and raised his hand.

The temperature in the surroundings dropped and a beam of ice shot out from the hand of Number 3 which covered the vulnerable young man's mouth and cuffed his limbs against the wall.

The bulky leader felt a chill go down his spine but he didn't make any comments.

The vulnerable young man groaned in anger and helplessness as the bulky leader stole his wallet.

"Wow, you're loaded. Who the fuck moves around with this much cash in their wallet? You're asking to be robbed!" The bulky man slapped the vulnerable young man leaving a deep red imprint on his face.

"Dumb fuck!"

The young man started sobbing and yet the gang of three ruffians seemed to not mind him.

"It's a good haul. I gotta hand it to ye Number 3, your Quirk makes work so simple. Otherwise, we'd have to figure out what Quirk he has beforehand."

"It's nothing boss." Number 3 replied with a smile and the Boss felt his pride return.

So what if the new recruit had a strong Quirk? Didn't he still have to listen to him?

"Boss! Boss! I counted it, we got around 20,000 yen! This guy's probably making banks if he's walking around with this kind of money!" Number 2 was a skinny tall man with a sharp chin.

He looked at the cuffed young man with a greedy look.

"Really now? Kekeke." The Boss's eyes shone but he eventually shook his head. He walked up to the cuffed young man and patted his face with a mocking look in his eyes, "Consider yourself lucky, lad. Pray we don't see you again. Hey, Number 3 the ice melts on its own right?"

Number 3, Fujimoto Akihiro, nodded, "Yes, in an hour or so he'll be free."

"Great, let's go and party tonight. Apparently, a big deal is being offered by some bigshot and I've decided that we'll also take part in it."

"Oh?" Akihiro nodded with interest and followed the two ruffians as they left. As for the cuffed young man... He lied. Unless someone broke the ice it wouldn't disappear.

He didn't think much of it since someone should be able to find the young man.

And if they don't...

...

Akihiro silently stood amongst the dozen villains around him in the basement of a random building.

There was loud chatter around him.

He looked at the nervous Boss and Number 2, "What's wrong?"

The Boss looked at Number 3 incredulously.

"You're asking me what's wrong? Are you fucking retarded? We're attacking U.A! Fucking U.A! This was a trap!" Boss angrily clenched his fists, "I'm sorry I dragged you guys into this. I shouldn't have let my greed take over."

"I-It's fine Boss... But can't we leave?" Number 2 muttered, he and the Boss had been apparently working together for over a year now and thus regarded each other as brothers.

"We can't! That crazy guy with the hand on his face is too powerful! Just look at what happened earlier, the guy was directly blown into mist! We can't escape. At worst we'll have to face some jail time, it's better than dying."

"You're smart Boss." Akihiro praised him and Boss felt his mood improve.

"What's yer name Number 3? I thought you would've blamed me but I guess you truly treat us like brothers. I'm sorry for doubting your intentions for joining us earlier."

"Akihiro, Fujimoto Akihiro." He smiled and continued, "Don't mention it, Boss. You've been quite the help."

"Really...?"

The Boss muttered feeling confused but at the same time, purple mist surged at the front.

The main villains had arrived.
