"Toshinori-san we need to talk." The other heroes were confused on how and why I knew All Might's real name and Toshi started to panic.
"Young Kuro please address me as All Might, it would be-" I stopped him before he could finish. "It's fine Toshinori, these people will be your colleagues in a few years, they will learn about you and I eventually so there is no harm in letting them know early, you can trust them." The pros were alert now, I just spoke to All Might as if I knew him personally, and I spoke about Midnight as if I knew that she was planning to be teachers at U.A in a few years.
"And how would you know about that little man, moreover, why do you say that All Might will be our colleague in a few years? He hasn't said anything about becoming a teacher to anyone."
Midnight inquired, a bit more curious now.
"Let's just say that I have my ways and leave it at that. Anyway Toshinori-san this is important and we don't have much time to talk before the next fight ends." He looked unsure so I gave him a bit of incentive. "It's about Nana." His eyes widen and he instantly walks up to me, recovery girl was shocked to hear that I knew that name but she stayed quiet for now, I gave her a nod of gratitude as Toshi and I walked to a more secluded area.
"Ok now that we're alone we can start, I won't be repeating myself for the sake of secrecy so listen carefully, you can never know if All for One has his spies around." He nods giving me his full attention. "First and foremost I am here to give you details on a few up and coming villains that will make their appearance in the next 10 years. One of them just so happens to be Nana Shimura's grandson." Toshi's face was grim and his jaw visibly dropped at this.
"W-what? How! Why would Nana's own grandson be a villain? And how do you know this?!" He was getting angry now, I should probably cut the drama and hurry this up.
"How I know this is irrelevant, just know that my information is accurate. Shimura Tomura, or Shigaraki as he's known now is the grandchild of Shimura Nana, when he developed his quirk he was unable to control it. His quirk allows him to disintegrate anything that his hands touch. You can imagine where this is going." From his grave face he obviously did, these accidents must be more common than I thought.
"He killed his entire family, from there it is no surprise that he was left in a less than stable mental state. That made him a perfect target for All for One, as of right now Tomura is his protege, he plans to use him as a psychological weapon against you and as his successor should anything happen."
"That sounds like him, but even so, if you knew about this, why didn't you try to tell me before? Or stop them yourself? You're obviously powerful and knowledgeable enough, and I'd bet anything that you're still holding back!"
"Regardless of my abilities I'm still only 6 years old, Toshinori-san. Please remember that, besides I find it very unlikely that I could survive a fight with you, let alone someone as versatile as All for One, if I made a single mistake I would die immediately, I won't allow that. Don't forget I'm no hero, even if I'm applying to be one, but I am useful so I think it balances itself out." He begrudgingly agreed to my logic, and he was a little put out by my admission to not wanting to be a hero.
"There's nothing wrong with wanting to help people, I just don't like the bureaucracy involved in it. This society would label me a vigilante, I prefer the term reluctant hero. Anyway, there are still a few more villains that you should be made aware of. I don't know all of they're real names but I know they're villain names and they're appearance." I went on to describe the vanguard unit to him in detail. I only really called out Himiko by name since I never paid attention to the names of the other members. I told him that Himiko, and Twice might not be beyond saving since she was 16 when she joined and psychosis takes time and serious mental damage to form, and Twice went insane only a few years before the start of the show so they had time.
"That's everything for now. Feel free to drop by my house after the tournament is finished. I'll have an excuse prepared and Izuku-outoto would love to meet you. Karima-nee knows the truth about me and is my second in command for all intents and purposes so it would be best if she was part of these conversations." He looked unsure of that but relented in the end.
"I'll see what I can do, before you go is there any other earth shattering news that you want to spring on me?" Well he asked for it so I guess I should.
A shit eating grin appears on my face as I say. "I can teleport." And with that I'm gone right back at my seat behind all of the soon to be class 1A kids. In the stadium Izuku just got punched in the stomach full force by Shoji. "Ooh that's gonna leave a mark."
"!" The rest of the audience jumped at my voice as I pretty much appear out of nowhere. Jiro in particular is freaking out.
"How did you get here without me hearing you?!" Oh that's why, makes sense she probably isn't used to being snuck up on.
I just stick my tongue out slightly to tease her. Messing with super powered kids is fun.
Anyway it seems like that last punch took Izuku out, Shoji walked up to pick him up and he carried him to me instead of Recovery Girl. "I assume you would want to heal your brother yourself Kuro-san. Sorry about roughing him up so much, he was hard to put down nothing short of a full power punch to the solar plexus did anything to slow him down."
I smirk. "That's Izuku-kun for ya. He has determination no one can deny that. And it's fine, if anything he would be insulted if you didn't give him your all. I'll heal him up and he should be awake in a few minutes." He left after that and went to sit with the rest of the kids. Wasn't he supposed to be the youngest of the group? Even at 7 years old the kid is nearly 5 feet tall.
Manual walked up to the field and spoke to the stands. "The final round of this tournament will be a five way free for all. All remaining participants will come down and fight it out with each other."
Oh good I'm getting pretty close to my limit for today, even with my enhanced endurance using my godly form along with my other costly abilities tires me out significantly. Especially after the massive output of teleportation and time stopping spells that I had to use yesterday.
We all entered the arena together. All of the combatants looked at me nervously, knowing that I was the biggest threat. As Manual started the fight I just sat down on a nearby bolder and smiled at them. "I'm gonna be honest, today tired me out quite a bit. So I'm not gonna go out of my way to stop you. You can fight amongst each other if you want. Or you can come at me all at once if you prefer. Either way is fine with me." I said, the others gave me a predatory look, while Karumi looked me dead in the eye. I nodded to her saying that it was fine. The moment I did so she charged at me head on.
"I see you made your choice Karumi-nee." She sinks into a nearby shadow mid step and appears above me, from the shadow of a nearby pillar almost instantly. I saw that coming though so I already prepared an electric barrier ahead of time which shocked the mid air. This only left her stunned for a few seconds but it was enough for me to deliver a powerful kick to her stomach which propelled her into the wall leaving small cracks.
The others weren't idle while this happened. Shoji charged at me with his arms stretched out hoping to grab me in a full body hug. Ochako was attempting the same thing but she used the nearby rocks as cover to try and sneak by while Shoji tried to distract me. At the same time Tokoyami just sent his Dark Shadow in a straight line towards me trying to get me to move.
Using my light manipulation, since it was the cheapest option mana wise I sent out a huge flash of light in all directions which blinded everyone and effectively dispersed dark shadow. I then rushed towards Tokoyami grabbing him by the neck with both hands while charging up some electric magic, shocking him into unconsciousness. Dark Shadow was too much of a wild card to leave out on the field.
While the Shoji and Ochaco were recovering, Karumi managed to stand back up and appear behind me using her shadow walk ability. She created a shadow spear and tried to pierce me. It connected and took a nice gash out of my right side. I responded with a full powered kick to the head. Karumi may be durable compared to most people. But my kicks had the force of a small motorcycle behind them most of the time so she went down after that.
The other two seeing the state that their impromptu teammates were in decided to surrender. I just gave them a nod and went to heal the unconscious fighters. "You guys weren't bad. While Karumi-nee provided an opening you went in without much hesitation. But Tokoyami-kun made one grave error. He forgot about my light manipulation which completely counters his own quirk. Shoji-san and Ochako-chan did well and reacted quickly but were a bit too reckless with their charge. Finally Karumi-nee was too predictable. That is more my own fault than hers considering that we train together so it's not much of a problem." Everyone looked at me with grateful, if slightly annoyed expressions after that. I guess playing the boy genius would eventually get on the nerves of a few people.
After the fight was over Manual announced the placements according to our performance. Unsurprisingly I came in first place from my utter annihilation of the event. Karumi and Momo were surprisingly tied for second place from their battle instincts and the versatility of their quirks. Izuku, Tokoyami, and Shoji came in third for their powerful quirks, physical ability, and sheer tenacity. The rest were given honorary mentions for each of their fights. Thankfully no one did poorly enough to have "failed" The event even if there was only one real winner.
"That was a marvelous show everyone. Please take the rest of the week to rest and relax as the scores are calculated from by the teachers at this fine establishment. I must say that this is the best group of young hero hopefuls that I have seen in some time and I expect great things from all of you." Nezu finished his speech with a little flourish which frankly looked adorable coming from the little animal. After that was said most of us went home to rest from our long day. Not before we exchanged phone numbers of course. Events like these usually lead to a lot of early friendships as well as early rivalries after all.
'Today was a good day.' I said as I got into our mothers car, taking a well earned nap as we finally went home. I knew that it was going to be a stressful weak for myself regardless of what the small mouse/bear/dog suggested and I was gonna take all the rest I could get while I still could.
