Chapter 159: Kaina Tsutsumi's Past, The Embarrassing Truth Of The MHA World

Not everything in this chapter is from the manga. I sprinkled my own story and special events in my ff in between. Don't get confused.

Don't forget to read the end of the chapter note

-----------------------

Kaina Tsutsumi.

Also known as Lady Nagant. Former hero, HPSC Agent, and assassin.

Everyone knew she was a notorious criminal. She was one of the notorious criminals residing in Tartarus. She was sentenced to life imprisonment and lived with the most notorious criminals. Everyone knew about her so-called crimes. Humanity and heroes put her in the same place as the other villain and were afraid of her.

But no one knew about her past and the shameful past of the MHA world.

As a young girl, Kaina adored heroes like any child. Although not at Midoriya's level, she also adored heroes. She loved watching them and seeing them in action. As a child, her eyes sparkled when she watched the heroes at work.

When she was old enough to go to school, she eagerly went to school and did her best to be a hero. At QYM, she always showed enthusiasm, her grades were among the best in the class, and the way she used her Quirk was the best in the class.

She was a cheerful, lively, excited, hyperactive child. She had a childhood expected of the same peers.

However, this world ruthlessly ripped her purity and childhood from her. It had taken that innocent girl's desire to be a hero from her, and completely shattered her view of heroes, making them hostile and hating them.

Everything happened when she was 11 years old, at the peak of her childhood. She had a big dream of finishing middle school, then going to U.A. to become a shining hero. Her heart burned with childish confidence and ignorance, and the idea of ​​being the best hero haunted her.

She was so naive when she thought about it now. In the suffocating darkness of reality, it could hardly be broken.

One day, The head of the Hero Public Safety Commission visited the school. This kind of thing would happen all the time. Hero Public Security, U.A., agencies, these, and similar organizations constantly visited middle schools and tried to recruit fresh blood with great potential.

This was one of those days. Kaina had been training her Quirk that day without realizing that the headmaster and the head of the Hero Public Safety Commission were watching her from afar. Quirk, who was on a different level from her peers, and the way she used it, shocked the President.

''It's a good seedling. I am sure that She will have a very bright place in heroic society in the future, a huge pillar in protecting the safety of humanity." These words were said by her that day as he approached her step by step.

Kaina from the past had looked at them in surprise in the middle of practice, then delighted at their words. She was so naive... she was so innocent, she would have popped that man's head off like a watermelon without thinking if she had the current mind.

Deceived by her words that day with a desire to become a great Pro-hero, she believed her honeyed and rosy bullshit and followed her instead of going to the U.A.

According to her, there was no difference between the U.A. and the Hero Safety Commission. She needed to raise great heroes in an institution that was so intertwined with each other. And for her, whose aim was a great hero, it didn't matter where she was going.

How naive... so naive, so inexperienced, so deceptive...

What happened after that was relatively calm. Like the calm before the storm, all she did was educate herself until she was 18-20 years old. She trained for years until she became truly skilled with the Rifle Bizarre, becoming not only a popular hero but also the best marksman in all of Japan. Her shooting dexterity and precision were admired and envied by Snipe and other heroes with long-range Quirks.

So much so that even the current Hawks couldn't pour water on her. One shot of her 18-year-old self could finish off Hawks and tire out a monster like All Might if she pushed herself now.

A quick bit of info: Kaina's Quirk ''Rifle'', allowed her to extend a rifle from her right elbow. Her hair could curl into her bullet. It might look like a simple Quirk, and it was, but the way Kaina used it and her marksmanship made it intimidating.

Well, let's continue our story.

At that age, she was living the heyday of her life. People loved her, and children passing by were admiring her. She was saving lives and helping people.

She had become the hero of her dreams. She no longer needed to admire a hero and her actions on television. It was her turn to be watched and admired. She succeeded, and she fulfilled her dreams.

She had become a hero. A good one.

But they had to take it away from him. Those bastards needed to ruthlessly take the dreams to come true of that girl who always looked at the heroes with starry eyes and a wide smile on her face. And they did.

It started with just a few terrorists at first. She had killed terrorists who could cause massive deaths. Terrorists who hijacked trains killed those who invaded cities or caused great destruction.

She had killed them all. She was shocked at first when she did this. But whenever she was shocked or tried to back off, the Head of the Security Office would come to her and comfort her.

'You don't have to be like this. Do not be disgusted, shaken, or afraid. They are the villain and they want to cause a lot of death. Remember that if you hadn't done that and by the way, someone had escaped, more innocent blood would have been spilled than you had spilled."

"You did nothing wrong, they deserved to die.''

'' You are a hero."

"A hero."

She believed the sweet words, these honeyed words that even the most stupid person would not believe. She had convinced herself that she had done nothing wrong and that the people she had killed deserved it. She had done nothing wrong. All she wanted was to protect innocent people who might die. She didn't want to kill them but had forced her to the point where she killed them.

She had no other choice. She was a hero. was the hero everyone admired, the kids were crazy about her, and they wanted to be like her. As such, she had to protect them. She couldn't let them die. And for that, the villain had to die.

She was one of the heroines adored by a girl with a sea of ​​stars in her eyes, in a cute school uniform, with a bag slung over her shoulder, to a certain giant screen. She was the reason for that girl's wide smile.

She was a hero.

"Nagant, a certain group is planning a terrorist attack on the heroes. Positions XXXX, clear them...''

A hero.

"A team of heroes who helped the Evil League quickly gained a lot of money and fame. You have to finish them. We cannot allow such rotten apples to be in the hero society. Finish them."

Hero...

"Some villains somehow found the locations of heroes #1, #2, and #3. You need to finish them off before starting the operation."

What started with killing terrorists in the first place had grown into an avalanche-like snowball that dropped from a snowy hill and could no longer stop it. To preserve the image of the paper-thin heroic society, she had become a completely different person from the hero image she had dreamed of and wanted to be.

This wasn't the worst. Killing people wasn't the worst of things, being used to shy away from the heroism she dreamed of, and to preserve the semblance of her heroic society.

Worst of all, the heroes she admired were just a rosy dream.

Illegal money laundering, manslaughter, corruption, that sort of thing, if the villain did it, she would be sent to clean them. However, if these were done by the heroes, they were ignored, on the contrary, they did their best to justify them and hide their actions.

The heroic society she admired, wanted to be one of them and sacrificed her youth for this cause consisted of a handful of vigilante hooligans.

And she, the girl with a true hero's heart, was nothing more than a cog in the system used by these vile heroes to maintain their image and trust in the eyes of the people.

She was so tired. She didn't want to play this so-called heroism anymore, she didn't want to kill people to pursue a rosy dream. Yet she continued to do so. Because...

She had no other purpose. If she didn't continue, her lifeless, cold body could be found in an alley.

She still didn't know why she didn't kill herself. Living in such a society would bring nothing but pain and it had no meaning.

But for some reason, she couldn't take her own life, and even now she didn't know why. Maybe deep down she thought that one day this would be over and everything would be alright. Perhaps she believed that as long as she killed enough, roots would wither. Which didn't happen, the more she killed, the more they spawned like cockroaches.

She continued to live with a dead, cold, corpse heart, killing people every day, killing more and killing more.

She obeyed every order given by the president. She obeyed, with an empty expression, with an equally empty heart, she obeyed the command. She obeyed every order given by the president.

Until that day.

The stress of the people she kept killing and forgetting the number of people constantly accumulated in her heart and body. On the one hand, she was struggling to fulfill her duty as a Pro Hero.

All this stress and burden had pushed her to the limit and brought her to the verge of breaking. She needed one last push to break through.

One last push.

And that happened with the kids running towards her that day.

The children ran towards her, saying they wanted to shake hands with her. Innocent, uncontaminated by the darkness of the world, their expressions glowing with excitement had become a bit of light in her hardened heart. At first, she wanted to go home and throw herself into bed and continue to work after a few minutes of sleep, but when she saw their excited expressions, she accepted their request with a wry smile.

She extended her hand to them. She could see the faces of the large group of children gleaming. It was as if the worlds were theirs thanks to this handshake.

Their expressions and demeanor reminded her of a girl she knew. This girl with purple-pink hair was a huge hero fan. There was nothing she wouldn't do to shake hands with someone. She's brave as she was naive, she had the potential to be a hero as much as she admired.

She could see the silhouette of this girl next to the boy she intended to shake hands with. With an expression similar to the child in front of her, she was admiring the hero, that is, her idol.

She held out her hand to them, blinking slightly. When she opened her eyes, her hands were covered with blood. Fresh blood, the color of intense crimson, covered her entire arm. It did not fall to the ground or flow. It hung in her hand as if it would never get out of hand.

She suddenly withdrew her hand. She heard a small cracking sound. She felt something break inside her. Her emotions were leaving her body, and the stress and guilt that had settled in her mind since she started her killing spree were completely gone. She had crossed the border. Her eyes were widened and her pupils were trembling. She turned her gaze to the imaginary girl.

The imaginary girl watching him with the children had a big crack. This crack, which started in her forehead, extended to her chin, then to her throat, then to her chest, and finally to her toes. She couldn't help but watch as she crumbled to dust, second by second.

She understood at that moment... There was nothing left of Kaina.

Kaina was dead. An empty spirit now resided within the body of the Kaina.

After this incident, she killed the head of the Hero Public Safety Commission. That day, the president was asked to kill two perverted heroes. If it was the Ancient Kaina, she wouldn't question it and would do it for the sake of community safety, then suffer.

However, the Kaina was just an empty shell. She said whatever came to mind and questioned the wishes of the president. Why was she doing this? Was it really for the benefit of society? Would show only good and truly benefit society? Wasn't that brainwashing?

And as a result of questioning her, she was threatened by the President. Unable to take it any longer, Kaina pierced a hole in his head.

She was then arrested and sent to Tartarus. But no one knew about them. Because the Hero Public Safety Commission would never leak their rebellions and inner turmoils to protect their image, they would settle it silently.

Normally they would do this by killing. However, Kaina was too powerful for them, so they decided to send her under lockdown. The reason was that she killed a hero friend during the argument.

That was one of the shames of the MHA world and the story of the empty shell called Kaina.

**

"My name is Kaina Tsutsumi." Kaina introduced herself in a blank and monotonous tone. She watched the girls with a neutral expression, the little traces of emotion she was showing quickly disappearing.

"As for what happened, I met Blake in prison. I followed him because I had no purpose." Kaina shrugged. She didn't care what the other party thought, indeed she had followed Blake for no other purpose.

At first, she wanted to follow A.F.O. She decided to put an end to this fragile formation with A.F.O when she realized that this heroic society, which according to her was covered with a pink streak and had taken away her dreams, youth, and hopes, was still unchanged.

She didn't want any more sickening lies or mind washing. A society led by A.F.O. would be more transparent and real. At least no one would be used by others for the sake of their dreams, or have their precious dreams ruthlessly shattered.

There was a time when she wanted to destroy the hero society. But this required A.F.O. In terms of intelligence, tactical acumen, strength, foresight, and leadership, she couldn't have made this dream come true without him.

As for A.F.O's disciple, she hadn't met him but could tell from the rumors that he was just a kid. No matter how strong he was, she would not cooperate with him as long as the child inside him was there.

Yes, cooperation, not subordinate. She wasn't even planning to become A.F.O's subordinate. At best, she could be independent, acting for a common purpose with him.

However, A.F.O was killed by Blake. Her goal was over before she even started, and instead of achieving her goal of following Tomura, she gave up on this goal as it was a complete headache, and followed Blake aimlessly.

"You have no purpose... Will you stay here then?" Rumi tilted her head and asked. The tips of her ears rose and fell. She knew that Blake would make sure of everything before she brought someone home, that shouldn't be a problem now that Kaina was here.

Still, she did not want a foreign woman to stay at home. This was Blake and her rabbit's nest. The girls were another female rabbit she accepted. However, this woman had not become a rabbit in her home.

Teka, Fuyumi, Nemuri, Ryukyu, Rei, and even the perverted Toga were all they knew. Although they saw very little of the latter, they had interacted with her a couple of times while she was at home, or talked to her as they wiped her drool. Even though they didn't know her, they were closer than Kaina. There was no problem in hosting them for a while.

But Kaina was a stranger to them. As the female rabbit of her nest, she would not allow Kaina to just enter her nest.

''I will not do such a thing. I was going to stay here for a few hours and then leave. But since you don't want me, I'll go now." Rumi's words aside, she didn't want to stand in the same place with a handful of heroes. They thought that their eyes were blinded by the rosy streak of heroism, that they lived in fantasy worlds like other heroes.

She thought that as such, they would probably be happy to have a villain like her gone. They'll even show happy expressions behind her as she leaves, perhaps some wanting to get her back into Tartarus. She wasn't sure, she didn't want to be.

All she wanted was to get away from these sickening heroes as soon as possible. She turned her body to the side, averted her eyes from the woman, and intended to turn around.

'You don't have to go. If you want to be our guest, you can be our guest whenever you want as someone Blake brought home. I just don't want you to stay home. Until...' Rumi stopped in the middle of her words, her gaze gleaming with a mysterious light. She grinned knowingly, turned around, and walked to the sofa to drink the juice.

Kaina was taken aback, her widened eyes fixed on the woman's back as she was getting further and further away. This feeling came from the bottom of her heart. She hadn't thought that Rumi would just leave a villain like her.

Blake was also a villain, but love may have been the reason Rumi ignored it. Toga, on the other hand, was favored because it was someone they knew before. However, it was very strange that they were ignoring a villain who was completely unfamiliar to them.

"Is it okay if you let go of a villain like me? I mean... you're like a mighty hero... will you just leave me...?" The words came out against his will. His long-empty heart itched with curiosity at the answer to that emotion.

Was it okay for her to let her go? Wasn't she supposed to grab her and shove her back into Tartarus? Not only did she let her out with a wave, but she was also inviting her. HeShe couldn't understand why she was doing this. Wasn't she like the other hero? Why was she acting differently from them?

Did she want to invite her in to keep her in sight and gain some control over her movements? If so, her actions would have made more sense to her.

Rumi stopped her steps. She lifted her head and looked over her shoulder at her. A clear confusion hung on the woman's face. She was watching her intently, squinting, as if trying to find her true purpose.

One corner of Rumi's lip curled up, forming a charismatic smile. She didn't answer her questions, looked at her with a mysterious expression that would confuse her even more, then turned around and started walking.

Her moves worked. A greater confusion arose in Kaina's mind. She turned to the others to get an answer or the reactions she should have had.

"What did Teka-san prepare?"

"I think mom made carrot juice. We are eating very unhealthy things right now, consuming some healthy things will also benefit us."

''It's not our fault. Who told Blake to cook such delicious food? Just putting the plate in front of me is enough to give my full attention to my plate.''

''The Right (5X)''

''Carrot Juice (2X)''

Fuyumi, Momo, Nemuri, Ryukyu, and Rei were nodding their heads in tacit agreement, blaming Blake for the greasy food that had entered their bodies and was women's worst enemy. Eri and Rumi, on the other hand, swallowed deeply when they heard the delicious carrot juice. They wiped the thin spittle from the corners of their cheeks at the same time. Their gaze fell on glasses of carrot juice.

They had completely lost interest in her. Paying no attention to Kaina, they entered the hall and settled into the armchairs, grabbing glasses of juice. Once seated, they reached for the juice tray.

They each took one. Teka had made one in Nejire, but since Nejire went upstairs with Blake, her glass went to Toga. Everyone got their due and started drinking.

Kaiana was ignored by everyone, or rather did not act as she expected and they started drinking their drinks. For a moment she didn't know what to do. Should she go? Or should she leave after hanging out here for a few hours?

She stepped forward hesitantly, her arms resting comfortably at her sides. She looked at the girls out of the corner of her eyes. They were still casually drinking juice and talking to each other with bright smiles.

After a few hesitant steps, she came to the single seat, which was the only available place. She slowly sat down in the chair, looking at the girls with her eyebrows raised the entire time, waiting for a reaction.

Unfortunately, she did not get the reaction she expected. Except for Teka, none of them reacted to her sitting. Teka's brows were furrowed, and she was looking sharply at Toga and her, who was watching TV with a juice glass in her hand, with an expression that made her look angry.

But even Teka's expression was not for the reasons she thought. Her expression was very natural, just a harsh expression towards strangers. Moreover, with so many girls in need of her protection around her, she was taking an extra stern demeanor.

Their conversation went on like this. Time passed quickly between Rei, Ryukyu, Fuyumi, Teka, and Eri seated in the large seat, Momo in the single seat, and Rumi, who sat in front of the table with her legs under the table, speech. They didn't say anything to Kaina, who had been watching them in silence the whole time or come up with a statement that they found her presence disturbing.

Their conversation continued until the three women could stand it no longer. After about 30 minutes, Rumi, Fuyumi, and Nemuri got up at the same time and waved to the girls, and ran upstairs. They were competing with each other to get up first.

The girls waved to them with wry smiles, watching the girls' little contest climb the stairs to the top. They weren't stupid, they were adults enough to know what they were doing. They were aware of what was happening up there and what the girls were competing for.

Rei, Momo, and Ryukyu looked after them eagerly. They wanted to do such things with the man they loved, but for some reason, they couldn't. They sighed, stood up, and after saying goodbye, dispersed to their rooms.

Teka turned her head to the left, looking at the girls walking up the stairs. Then she turned forward and looked at the girl sitting on her lap, sipping her juice.

"Do you want to sleep with me today?" She spoke in a light tone. She put her hand on her head and started stroking her dirty white hair.

"Gulp*" Eri stopped watching TV, swallowed the juice she poured into her cheeks, and looked up. She looked into Teka's eyes and shook her head.

''Very well.'' She wrapped her arms around Eri's waist and stood up. Eri quickly drank all the juice from the glass. Teka grasped the glass cup in the girl's hand with her fingertips, bent down, and set it on the table.

She kept her bent position, looking at Kaina out of the corner of her eyes. From the very beginning, Kaina had not said a word, just watching them blankly.

Like all girls, she felt Kaina's gaze on her. As Kaina watched them silently the entire time, she seemed to be searching for something in their expressions. It's something they should have but couldn't find in them.

She wasn't sure what was going on and didn't care, she could think whatever she wanted as long as she didn't have harmful thoughts toward them.

She removed her gaze from Kaina and looked at Toga.

Toga had already finished her drink. She was watching TV, her chin resting on her knees, her legs wrapped in both arms. She was shaking her head from side to side, causing her two fluffy buns to dangle.

Unlike Kaina, Toga spoke a little. But she had spoken to Eri, not to them. She even had a small argument with the girl about the show on TV. Strangely, she hadn't said anything crazy the entire time, keeping up with Eri easily.

Thanks to her personality, she quickly became friends with Eri. So much so that the girl hanging in Teka's arms knew they were going to bed, so she waved to Toga and spoke in a tired tone.

"Good night, Toga-nee-chan. Yavnnnn**…" Eri yawned sweetly. She continued to speak with a sleepy smile. She rubbed her closed eyes with one hand and waved to the Toga with the other.

"Bye-Bye, Eri-chan." Toga turned her head to her, resting her cheek on her knees. She grinned broadly, exposing her four sharp canines. She raised both hands and waved at the girl. According to the expressions, she showed all day, her current smile was very healthy and normal.

Eri unconsciously smiled, closed her eyes, rested her cheek on Teka's arm, and let sleep take over her.

"If you two don't have anywhere to go, you can stay here tonight. What happens in the future will be decided by Blake. However, you are not allowed to go upstairs or do strange things." After her words, she did not wait for the two of them to reply and headed upstairs. With each step, Eri was tossed up and down, her two majestic breasts pressing against the girl's head, acting as a pillow.

She came to the front of the stairs and kept going up. So as not to wake Eri, who was dozing in her arms, she slowly walked up the stairs and reached the end. He started walking to the end of the corridor.

When she got to the front of the room where Blake and the girls were, she stopped for a moment and looked at the door. The door was closed, and the inside of the room was covered with soundproofing in order not to disturb the others in the house during these and similar nights.

However, it was very obvious what was happening inside the room. Teka stood there for a moment, then turned her gaze forward and walked into the room at the end of the hall.

The two remaining in the hall remained silent as the last person left. The two of them were not looking at each other, they were living their moments. A few minutes passed just like that. Toga suddenly threw herself on the couch, turned around, and went to sleep.

She had no plans to go. She had planned to follow Blake all along. If the girls kicked her out of the house, she would wait for him on the street or the roof and follow him everywhere. Since they saw no problem in her staying, she wouldn't be kind and would fall asleep.

Kaina took a brief look at the sleeping girl. She leaned back, breathing slightly. She raised her head and watched the ceiling, her purple eyes covered with complex emotions.

Her eyes slowly closed, it didn't take long for sleep to take over her. Darkness enveloped her mind, and her thoughts dulled. She fell asleep sitting on the couch.
