Chapter 90
Title: Chances...
….
Hearing some random scary-looking man in dark medieval armor call out to him, the chubby man feels extremely nervous. The man radiated a sense of danger no matter how you looked at him, plus the deep voice coming from the armor made everyone feel chills down their spine.
"Yo man~ don't you remember me Shinshin?" The Armoured Man calls out and this makes the Chubby Guy (Shinshin) nervous, he doesn't remember anyone like this, but in the end, he answers.
"Yeah… I remember you…" Shinshin doesn't, but he still answers like he does, feeling social pressure to act like he knows the man.
"Hahaha, I am glad, though I usually am not in armor. I don't want these guys to know my real face." The Armoured Man whispers jokingly, showing another side of him that contrasts his dangerous-looking appearance.
The villains around look at the Armoured Man, but once they see him getting along with one of his 'fellow' villains their suspicions of him go away.
When Kaminari sees this, he ignores the pedo he was talking about and just walks towards the house.
"H -Hey, where are you going?" Asks Shinshin, finally at least he isn't being orchestrated even amongst villains. 'Just like back in highschool… finally someone is talking with me. I will at least make one friend in this life.'
He follows Kaminari towards the baths of the building, but once he goes to the bathrooms Kaminari was in, only the latter comes out and with blood on his hand. "Tch, annoying trash."
The blood evaporates from his armor, erasing any evidence that it was him. Though he didn't mind anyway as everyone here is villains, no one would care for a couple of corpses showing up. It is expected to happen as a lot of hot headed villains roamed about.
He walks along the hallways and maps the whole building and for any possible escape ways. Kaminari touches one of the walls and runs through some electricity pulse, immediately through some iron in the walls, he knows that it was made to withstand impacts. But due to this he figures the whole layer of the building and even finds the secret routes.
There are countless Quirks with different observation methods and they can't block every one of them. So it doesn't matter how many countermeasures they make.
Still though, after he gets a good measure of the place, Kaminari inputs a map in his system, and a map of the whole establishment appears in his scouter.
He casually walks along the hallways which are branded in red carpets and many paintings of different medieval wars in Japan. By getting all of this information, Kaminari can determine that the owner is a fan of Japanese Battles and war in general, especially the ones between figures of the divine.
Something that normal people would consider useless, but to Kaminari it is different since one can tell a lot about a person from their hobbies. Since this person has a lot of paintings of wars related to religion, he most likely believes in God and thinks people like that are potentially dangerous due to not being afraid of death due to their belief in Heaven. That can be either good or bad for Kaminari, as some find comfort in that and some gain some… dangerous qualities due to it.
If the owner was an atheist person then he would be seen as a different kind of danger due to being afraid of death and most likely is a scheming person who would want to be as far away as he could from danger. Also, they are someone who would question everything and are not easily tricked. Though the coward factor can sometimes be big and it will make them a non-threat.
If asked between the two, Kaminari wouldn't know who to choose as both sides have dangerous qualities. Someimes they also aren't like the norm of their group either, as both sudes have exceptions.
Still, as these thoughts run around Kaminari's mind, he walks in a relaxed manner, everyone that he meets doesn't seem to look at him with suspicion or anything as he seemingly belongs here.
'Hm?' That was the first thing that made Kaminari suspicious. He is an armor-wearing man, one of the only ones in here, and yet they treat him normally.
But he doesn't look into this anymore and instead goes towards the hidden door. In front of it is a giant man with a sheep mask on him, he has green hair and even though he is wearing a business suit, his muscles are visible.
Still, Kaminari approaches the man with a calm vibe as if he belonged to the place.
But the man doesn't even look at him as he says. "Here is a forbidden entrance. Go and socialize with the other villains, make some connections, that is what this place is about."
Kaminari narrows his eyes at that. "Why are you explaining it in a way that makes me seem like a newbie here?"
The man smiles. "Because you are, no veteran villain needs to wear masks and hide his identity."
"You mean dumb villains who show their face?" Retorts Kaminari, acting annoyed at what the man in front of him said.
"Pahahaha!" The man laughs out loud at that. "I guess you are kinda right on that one."
"Well, they say to never judge a book by its cover." Said Kaminari in a joking manner, getting closer to the big guy.
This causes the sheep-masked man to stop his chuckles and look straight at Kaminari. "Oy, kid, trust me on this one. If I was you, I wouldn't try that."
'Hm? Did he just figure out my age?' Kaminari stops in his tracks and looks up at the man. "Yes, you are right, one never should judge a book by its cover."
That was all Kaminari needed for him to piece together that even though the man looked like a fighter due to his physique, his Quirk is one of information gathering. The thing that gave it away was how he knew Kaminari's age even though in his armor he has a deep voice.
But to someone like Kaminari, any type of information given to him is a clue to his Quirk. 'This guy's Quirk must also have some other qualities to it. Hmmm… when he talked to me in the beginning he could have said that I just leave. But he guided me to have a conversation, so he most likely has a Quirk condition that the more he talks to someone the more info he can get… nice quirk...'
With that in mind, Kaminari decided to continue the conversation. "Okay, okay, I was just joking."
"Heh, you better," says the Sheep-Masked man. "Anyway, I have a couple of tricks for you on how to build some connections here."
"Oh, and what are they?" Asked Kaminari while he leaned on the wall opposite the Sheep-Masked man.
"Well, since this is one of the biggest Villain Gatherings in Japan, this place houses not only villains but you can also find someone to make you cool Support Gear. Though it will be quite pricey, so it's better if you start getting some… you know…" he seems a little uncomfortable and whispers, "Assassination Jobs. You could take some usual trafficking, but the pay is sh*t in comparison."
"Is that so?" Kaminari is quite intrigued by this. 'It seems like even villains have an order to them.'
"Yes, after all, if someone dies in an 'accident' of a Villain Attack. No one will even question it." The man's explanation brings Kaminari's mind to a halt.
'Wait… didn't my parents in this world die of a Villain Attack!' He was a little shocked at the discovery. He doesn't care about this, but it would make a good Publicity Stunt. This would make him the tragic Hero and make people sympathize with him. 'I don't even care who killed my parents in this world, but this could be useful information.'
A smirk appeared on Kaminari's face behind his helmet. '...maybe these villains could be useful after all.'

A/N: The MC now has a glimpse of what goes behind the scenes and that not all villains are not just thugs who know how to destroy. Some use it as a business and that can be useful to him.
