I was meeting with my stepmother in an isolated area at the park where trees surrounded us to hear what we had to speak about. I was told to wear something fancy for unknown reason, so I decided to wear a black off the shoulder dress: the sleeves were ¾ length and the miniskirt flared outward. The shoes I wore was a pair of silver ankle strapped heels, the jewelries I wore was a diamond choker and dangling earrings. I had my black hair tied up in a high ponytail to show off the jewelries on my skin. My makeup was simple since I wasn't attending to a special event, and I'd rather have my red eyes stand out.
I sat properly on the wooden picnic table, legs crossed over- very ladylike of me to do. I inhaled sharply, patiently waiting for my stepmother to wind was breezy where I sat, but something came to mind, the air didn't feel right. It felt heavy like something sinister was going to happen. It wasn't a pleasant feeling to be in.
As I was about to stand up to leave since my stepmother was taking her damn time to get here, she fashionably appeared late in front of me. "Mizuki, sweetie," my stepmother sweetly said, having no filter of hating me behind her devilious eyes.
I wasn't scared of her.
She came and sat down across from me with a forceful smile, "You've heard that the League of Villains were going to ambush USJ. Us, as the League of Villains want to kill All Might," she explained to me in brief details, sparing me a whole lecture about it.
"Is that why you called me? Then why am I wearing something nice and fancy?" I stared at her blankly. I didn't want to wear an expensive dress to get it dirty and ripped. I loved this dress as much I loved not being involved with the League of Villain.
"Now now, Mizuki, there's a catch, there will be little training heroes who will be there as well. Why not kill them, Mizuki? That's what you're good at anyways, sucking the blood out of people." She loved to tick me off so badly. I wanted to strangle her with my bare hands.
I slammed my hands against the wooden table as I stood up to get to USJ. I heard her chuckled, thinking that she got through me easily, but I'm not doing what she thought I was going to do. I closed my right hand into a fist and placed it over my heart. I swore to myself not to do anything bad, after all my father is a strong villain...who forced a non-villainous woman to bare his child, creating me because I was going to be a weapon to kill all heroes in the world. But I sought not to follow my path of evil, and objected my father's words, making me independent and strong as I left my family to live in the light than the dark.
I walked all the way to USJ in my painful heels where the fight has already begun long ago. Stepping inside the place to see the enemies fallen, I was surprised by the newbie heroes. They were quite strong from where they stood and fought. They weren't weak as I thought they would be.
"H-hey, you shouldn't be here…! It's dangerous." The girl in pink warned me, but I didn't care. I was going in.
I moved past her, down to where I saw the leader of the League, four newbies, and the All Might. As I walked down the staircase to get to them, there were bodies scattered everywhere, but they weren't dead; they were unconscious. I kept going, passing by two students who were carrying a teacher as they took their teacher up to the top of the stairs for safety reasons. They looked at me as if I was crazy to be here in the battle zone. I didn't know them and they didn't know me, and it was better for them to keep walking because their teacher was a priority.
I was close to the central plaza: "How annoying they are to ambushed them…." I sighed in both annoyance and tiresome. It was really repetitive how villains were desperate to kill All Might in so many ways and moments that I couldn't even stand to be at home.
I passed by three boys and I noticed the fourth one was going to get himself disintegrated by hands man, but I could tell that the green headed boy's body was failing on him when he was about to attack the leader.
I will fight against my fate. "Stop!" I quickly commanded, as I pushed my hand out to blow the villain away from the green head.
Everyone was in awe since I came out of nowhere, and this was a desperate time in need. U.A. didn't want to have a big article saying that they couldn't protect a student from a villain attack. I was about to walk close to the villain, but he was getting shot at out of nowhere. Turning around to observe what was happening, other heroes were getting involved. I felt pity for the green head since he risked his life to fight someone over his level. I give him props for doing that.
As I curious to get close to the boy, a piercing pain ripped my flesh opened from behind as it poked through the front part of me. I gasped in confusion more than terror, face contorting to my emotion. "You disgrace!" she harshly, but loudly whispered in my ear. Oh, it was her. "I thought that I could've given you a second chance to redeem yourself, but I guess," she twisted the dagger blood in me, making red liquid spill out from my mouth as the green head stared in horror. So many things went wrong, especially in front of the green head who was completely useless because he couldn't move an inch of his body.
"You're wrong. I'm not my father!" I objected and gripped the dagger made out of blood, absorbing the material into my skin. I then spun around to look at her, inflicting pain onto her as she slowly crumbled before me, holding her head in her bloody hands. "Don't underestimate me, and don't even think you can call me by my name in a sweet but deadly tone because you're married to him. FYI, you're not my mother. On the behalf of my real mother's death, I will stray away the path of evil. Go ahead and tell him," I released her from the pain inducement and stared at her as she disappeared from my sight.
The thought of the green head watching me, I turned and crouched down to meet the green head whose eyes were dull and lifeless from what he saw. "I'm not dead," I reassured him, since he looked tensed. His face somewhat relaxed from hearing my words. "Let me take a look of your legs," I said, carefully examining it. His legs looked broken and purple. This boy's ability lit up a fire in me because everyone would know how to use their quirk, but it looked like for him, he doesn't know how to use it. So in return of having some humane, I used my blood that was spilling out from me to heal his legs. I could sense him fretting by my action, so I again had to reassure him, "Don't worry, I'm healing your injury..."
"Thank you," he sincerely smiled with a light blush appearing on his face.
"I must go now." I pushed myself back to my feet and wiped off the dust on my kneecaps. When I turned around to head off, I was met with a neck snap.
Beep beep beep
My eyes shot wide open, the first thing that I saw was a white ceiling. Rotating my head around, I saw a monitor beeping on my left, and on the right I saw a desk where no one was sitting. I felt something in my left arm, wondering what it was I looked and I saw a needle injected in me. I didn't know where I was or how I got here. I was utterly lost and tired. Forcing my body to sit right up, I started to plan my escape from this place. All I could think of was me leaving. I was thinking about jumping out of the window, but that would've been too risky and dangerous; and plan two was to walk out of the room, but would've been more riskier because I don't know where I am.
I decided on plan one. I peeled off the sheets and yanked the needle out, then I proceeded to walk to the window and think about my fall. Where I was located was pretty high, maybe three stories high. "I can't do it…" I stared at what was beyond my ways if I did jump. Their gate had high security alarm, and if I casually walked there or try to be stealthy, I was going to trigger it. "This is great. Plan two," I sighed. I looked down to see that I was still wearing my black dress but it was ruined. I felt even sadder because of it. "Where the hell am I?" I questioned, not knowing where exactly I was at.
As I didn't know where I was located, I started to search for any clues of where I may be, starting by this room I was in. By the looks of it, this room must be a nurse room because I saw a lot of first aid shit lying around in the cabinets. Moving toward to the desk, I saw a paperwork saying: U.A. High school. "The school where heroes are made…" I murmured quietly.
Heading to the door, turning the doorknob quietly, I pulled the door back and peeked my head out to see an empty hall. "Hmm…" Once my foot stepped out of the office, a noise rang and a bunch of students came bursting out. While rushing herds were wild, I was dragged away at sea by these students. I was violently getting pushed back and forth like the waves at the beach. "Oh my god…!" there was no way out of this hall as more students started to come in even though it was already packed.
Someone grabbed me by the arm and pulled me out of the crowd. Curiously enough, I turned around to see who it was. "You don't belong here. Oh, you were the girl who saved Midoriya," the red-white colored haired boy said to me.
After he was done saying what he wanted to say, I had something important to ask him. "Why am I here?" he stared for a good second before walking away from me, but I wasn't done with him so I grabbed onto him, hoping he'll give me a valid answer. However, I instantly let go of him as I felt his icy cold skin freezing my hand from the smallest touch.
"Young lady!" now in front of me was All Might. "You were the one who saved my student." There was some gratitude in his voice as he smiled down at me.
I stared at him, I wasn't intimidated by All Might because I had other things to fear about than him. "Yeah, I was. Why am I here? " I could finally get my answers from him now that there was someone who actually knew why I was brought here.
His bold eyes darted around the area, noticing that it wasn't a good place to talk, he suggested something, "Let's talk in private since we're out in the open." I followed him to his office.
I sat across from All Might as we sipped our tea that he made. "The student you saved told me about what he heard from you. He said something about you straying away from evil and not being just like your father. So if I'm correct, your father is a villain."
I was feeling a bit antsy about this because I didn't asked to be interrogated at all. All I wanted to do was to go home, but I can't because I'm stuck here. "Cut to the chase, All Might. Why didn't you guys just leave me when I was unconscious? Or bring me to the police? Wouldn't that be easier for you guys?" I sipped my cup of tea, giving him short glances.
"I had a hunch of who you are, and from what I heard from my student was that you want to be good. You have potential to be good, to be a hero, and to be freed from your evildoing..."
"You don't need to put on an act to lie to me, All Might. I'll tell you what I know," I could see it in his eyes. He just wanted to pull out some information from me about the League of Villains. "My stepmother told me about how the League of Villains want to kill you, and how you're growing weak or whatever. So actually she thought I was going to kill you when I arrived at that training place. She thought she could give me a second chance to redeem myself from disownment since I ran away from home because I hated my life and my father. I hate everything about that man." It sounded like I have daddy issues to his ears, but it was true. I hate to even resemble like my father in the future.
"So they've already caught up…" He muttered, before my eyes, I saw smoke rising from him.
"Woah, you're smoking," I bewilderedly watched, not knowing what to do. All Might quickly got up and tried to push me out the door, but I wouldn't budge until I saw what was happening to him. "I'm not leaving if you're bursting into smoke!" I pushed him back because I was concerned about this.
"Please, you should just—"
Poof!
Huge gust of smoke appeared in my face and I started to cough and swipe the air away until it got cleared. "..." I was speechless. I guess the things that I heard were true after all. All Might looked weaker and skinnier. He looked way different from before. "So this is what you were hiding from the public, huh?" I muttered quietly, looking away from him.
"..." All Might didn't say a word. He didn't know what to say or how to make me be quiet. I knew he didn't like how this was going.
I made my way to the door, but before opening it, I had to assure him about what I saw. "I don't care about the League, they can find out by themselves. So we are done then?" I asked, really wanting to leave this place since I've been here for far too long in my book.
"No, not yet. Your quirk…."
"What about it?" I leaned against the door. I really don't know why he found it so interesting.
"It's something that I haven't seen before in the school or in Pro Heroes... but only from one person that I fought with. Can I ask you could join the school?" He clasped his hands together, staring at me, wanting me to say 'yes'. "I know you want to have a better future so I'm offering this, to start new and away from the evil path you were born in. Enroll to this school to bring out your full potential and brighter future."
I inhaled, thinking about it. All Might was giving me an offer that I didn't know what to choose. I'm scared either way; saying yes or no. There would be a big difference if I do select my answers correctly.
"If you join, you can prove to them that you're not the villain they think you are because you're his daughter."
I had to think even more. It's a lot to take in really. "I guess…. I will accept, but don't I have to take an exam or something since this is a prestigious school? Because it feels like I'm cheating to others who has worked their hardest to make it here if I don't do anything to prove that I am worthy to be from a villain daughter to a hero," I stated a realization to him, making him think about it twice.
"I'll call in the other teachers." All Might took out the school phone.
I moved back to the couch and slumped back, contemplating random things. The phone call took so long that I had to keep on waiting and waiting. If me taking this path, then I will show my father that I am my own person, not a puppet for their own desires he couldn't do on his own.
The next thing I knew, I was in another room filled with pro heroes teachers. I thought the room would be more civil as one person talked each time, but I was wrong. From left to right, they were all speaking at once. No one was focusing on one person because they were all busy voicing out their opinions. A sigh escaped my lips, "I'm so done…" I stared at the empty cup of water in my hands.
"We have come to a decision!" someone announced, gathering our attention. "She will not do the written test, but she'll do the other test to see how she'll fight in combat." Then all of the teachers somehow agreed their plan.
I actually thought that I wouldn't get in because of my background. "Wait, what do you mean fight? What am I fighting with? Or who?" I fixed my composure in my seat.
"Robots," Now I understood.
"Ah, okay, I see. So you're just testing my strength and how my skills work in battle and if my quirk could save civilians?" I looked at all of the teachers in the room.
"You've answered your own question." One of the teacher spoke up.
"After knowing some parts of your background, what's your quirk?"
"Blood manipulation. Blood manipulation came from my father, and I don't even know if my biological mother had a quirk or not since she was killed; murdered by my father when I was about eight," I didn't care talking crap about my father. He wasn't even a good person to me at all. I felt no love from him, only stress. Stress, stress, stress. It was exhausting in general.
"Pardon to ask but, do you really hate your father that much, making you turn good?" A teacher questioned.
"Yes, I do. You can totally tell by my voice and the way I put myself out there to say bad things about him. I know I'll have to fight him soon, that's what he gets for having a rebellious daughter. But if he hadn't killed my mother, then I bet I'll be a villain just like him; or my mother would tell me how bad of a father he is, convincing me to be good than bad." I didn't mean to get all depressing about my past, but it just happened whenever someone ask me about my past. "Aside from that, I'm in then?"
"Yes, you are!" All Might spoke in English to me.
I got up and bowed to the teachers. "Thank you. Is there any other information to know?"
"Aizawa, she's going to be your new student in 1-A. I know the classroom is supposed to be even with twenty students, but this we can bend the rules a bit," The principle said. "Everyone's dismissed."
I followed behind Aizawa, he started a conversation with me, telling me that he's my homeroom teacher and he expect things out from me. Now it totally clicked after staring at Aizawa. He looked very familiar to someone I saw before. "Ohhh, you must be that one teacher who was injured at USJ and your students were carrying you." He nodded at my realization.
We've arrived to class 1-A: Aizawa slid the door opened and announced, "Class, we have a new student that will be here today. She will introduce herself to you guys and the rest of the time is yours after that." He didn't really care what he was saying because his eyes were only casting tiredness.
I remembered that I wasn't wearing their uniform until now. I should've asked but it was fine. I'll get one soon. "Hello, my name is Mizuki Akagawa." I bowed, then questions came at me.
"Weren't you that girl from the USJ?" It was that girl who dressed in pink when I entered USJ.
"Yeah, I was. If you remembered the dress, then sure." I nodded.
"Why aren't you wearing the uniform if you're a student here?" The glasses dude bluntly spoke out furiously.
"Because it just happened to be my lucky day that I was asked to join this school by none other than All Might." I didn't wanted to brag about how it happened, but it did because nowadays people like details.
Then the class started whispering about what I told them. All their talking was getting me annoyed because I was never accepted by who I was. I had a big reputation because of my family.
Scanning the whole classroom out of boredom, I saw the red-white haired dude from earlier. "Oh, it's him… That rude boy." Everyone was close with each other and I was an outsider who joined.
I made my way to the window and stared at the scenery, I was then interrupted by someone speaking to me. "Mizuki, you were the one that saved and healed me. Thank you!" the person forcely bowed in spite that I didn't really do that much to get thanked for.
"I was merely doing what was right," I awkwardly said with a gratitude smile.
