Chapter 70
Title: Deal...
….
It doesn't take long for my patience to break, this clone's personality feels like it is made to get under my skin. But also acted very familiar.
"How about this? I will manage your public image, and you can just sit back and enjoy the benefits without doing anything." He pleads with me. But I can see the greedy look in his eyes and he is probably thinking about just how much money he can make this way.
How the hell did he grow to be so greedy with money? He isn't even one year old. "Promise me that you won't try and do backhanded deals and I will let you."
I can see his face cringe at that. Yep, he is definitely a sketchy businessman. I trust him about as much as I would trust any clone... meaning zero...
...
...
…
In the end, we agree on somewhat of a deal. I told him that I will see if he is trustworthy from now on. If he does anything even slightly sketchy, then our deal will be over. Plus I allowed him to keep the shop, though I won't give him any paper with legal power that says I actually allowed it.
Also, he promised me that he would help me with the candy and would supply me with as much as I wanted during the Cultural Festival. I am gonna abuse the hell out of that… I wonder how many students in U.A like candy? Definitely puting him in debt for that one, he did promise me as much candy as I want, he better be careful with those words. He also knows that I would kill him if he broke his word, let's see how he handles this.
....
…
Once the next day comes, I don't spend too much time preparing for anything and instead go towards Akira's shop… and once I see him… the shop had a 'CLOSED' sign in front of it.
Huh? Didn't he talk some big talk yesterday about how he will… ohhh… that little shit… he did something. I already can guess what, but that doesn't mean that I have to like it.
"Ah!! Look there!! It is my (suspected) long-lost brother!!" Yells out Akira as a crowd suddenly appears from the alleys and surrounds me. Now that everyone is concentrated on me, my disguise is useless now.
That fucker, he tried to trick me to come here. He must really be tired of living.
Still, though, I put a smile on my face for them all. "Hey everyone, I am glad Akira invited me here. I had some free time so I thought I would drop by to not disappoint my fans."
….
I had to spend almost a full hour with them, taking photos and signing books. Thankfully, though there were a lot of people, Akira is still someone unknown who just said that a Hero would be at his shop, so not many believed him.
After that whole ordeal, Akira is alone with me in his shop and the clone is shamelessly bowing in front of the original with his head touching the floor. "Please forgive me!!"
Yeah… he is annoyingly too much like a younger me. Someone who thought that asking for forgiveness is easier than asking for permission. Ah, only now I realize just how annoying I must have been in the younger years of my first life.
"Okay, I will forgive you." I accept his apology as I look around the shop. "Now, I will take everything around here."
He pulls his head from the floor and looks at me uncomfortably. "Uhhh… actually the candy here is expensive and even the earning I had today wouldn't cover for the sweets in here."
I look at him strangely. "How is that my problem again?"
And just like that, crocodile teats flow out of his eyes like rivers. "Please don't be so cruel!! You wouldn't even be able to carry that much sweets."
I take out my phone, go online and order a moving truck. "Just took care of the carrying problem."
I can feel his electricity try to hack into my phone to stop the order. But I casually swipe the electric wave away.
…
Thirty minutes later and Akira is crying on the ground of his now empty shop. "I worked so hard for this! It is so unfair! Why can't clones have good things? This is clone discrimination!!"
Okay, he is annoying and I can't stand him another minute so I just get the hell out of there. I leave him another warning too. "Next time you do something like this I will sue you for defamation of character."
I don't hear his answer as I have the truck driver drive towards U.A. Over all, quite a nice thing he did for me.
….
Once I arrive there, Aizawa comes to greet me. "What is this?"
I act like I don't notice the annoyed look on his face.
"This is candy, all perfect-"
"Get it out of here." His answer is instantaneous.
"Okay… but how about we have the students get some sweets or we give away some for free at our concert?" I suggest.
*sigh* In the end he shrugs. "Well, whatever, just that you are not allowed to bring outsiders into U.A anymore."
The unspoken mention here was that Eri is the exception to this. But only the U.A students can participate, and since the USJ Attack, a lot of people have been breathing down Principal Nezu's neck. So any incident here will ruin the festival, and it will be closed down.
I mustn't allow that to happen, even if I have to fight Gentle Criminal by myself.
….
Still though, in the end, Eri comes here and watches the concert that our class does. I make special effects with my lightning, while Momo deals with the confetti and creating it.
Everyone was organized in the class as they were all involved… and me and Momo ending up in the same zone of work… it was all a coincidence on my part. So the little fun that we had behind the scenes wasn't anything that was "intentional" on my part.
Yes, maybe if I tell this lie to myself it will stop me from spilling out the beans to anyone or giving a hint of it.
"That was so fun!" Exclaims Eri as she looks at me.
....
....
…
…
And just like so, November came around.
"U.A is in charge of looking after her now." Says Aizawa casually as he looks at me.
Nejire is fixing Eri's hair into pigtails. "Kya~ she looks so cute right now~"
Mirio has a happy look on his face when he hears this announcement.
"Anyway, go to the dorms now. Class 1-A will also have some visitors." Says Aizawa, obviously annoyed by the loud sounds.
….
Later on in the dorms were the Wild Wild Pussycats, with Kota being there too. The latter which had turned into an Izuku fan.
I just smile at this politely. They talked mostly about the rankings and how the new ranking table will become public soon. But their ranking had gone from 31st to the 400th. This was due to one of their members losing her Quirk and them not solving any disturbances due to them being hospitalized. Though they still have high popularity polls. Hero ranks are decided by cases solved, which All Might has dominated till recently.
I just turn on the TV to see the rankings and I am surprised by what I see.
The Hero Ranks...
Number 10 - Ryukyu
Number 9 - Yoroi Musha
Number 8 - Wash
Number 7 - Kamui Woods
Number 6 - Crust
Number 5 - Edgeshot
Number 4 - Best Jeanist
Number 3 - Mirko
Number 2 - Hawks
Number 1 - Endeavor
I zone out the others and wait till Mirko's turn comes to speak on TV. "Yo, so I decided to make a team now. I know, hypocritical of me to do something like that when I said that only weaklings have Hero Teams and sidekicks. Well, I want to prove something to a certain someone, so I gotta become a Top Hero to show him that I can be an amazing hero too."
Wow… this is a little unexpected change, she would have been the Rank 5 Hero, but now she is Number 3. She has gotten better and even has a Hero Agency.
….
-Doctor Garaki POV-
I look at the Nomu in front of me. The strongest one that I have made up to date. The dark lab capsules around me don't bother me at all as I can perfectly see its figure.
Usually, Nomus couldn't even understand anything. But now…
"This time I will be expecting results… High End." I call out to him and the Nomu looks directly at me.
"Le -L -Leave it to me…" Says the Nomu in broken speech.
Ahhh… how amazing. "Go on my Best Nomu!!"
BOOOOM!!!
Suddenly an explosion happens and I look towards the experimental Nomus. I see that it is the yellow one, it is very buff with dark lighting-like tattoos on him. I used some of the last original DNA I had from that monstrous student. I was creating the ultimate weapon against him, but the 1st one failed… let's see the 2nd one.
"THE BEST!!!" Yells out the Nomu suddenly. Looking at High End. "Are you the best? The Number One?"
What?!! Its speech is so clear!! Amazing!! I have outdone myself.
"O -Of… course…" High End speaks on broken speech, welcoming the challenge.
*bzzzzt*
BOOOOM!!!
The next thing I see is the High End's head on the ground, being held down by the other Nomu's foot. "AM I THE BEST NOW!!!"
Just its shout alone shakes the building.
"Yes… yes you are… your name shall now be The Best." I relented, feeling both fear and excitement. Never expected this Nomu to leave its confinement. Some trigger word must have been used, something that the original instinctively wanted... what a frightening will, able to even influence a clone Nomu.
….
A/N: Yep… this Nomu litterally beat the High End in less than a second. It has quite some Quirks in his body, added with Kaminari's Electrification.
