Chapter 2 Beginning of a friendship
In the city of Mustafa, where it is afternoon, a hooded little boy with an ugly face, one hand in his pocket, is walking and looking at his smartphone in his hand.
(A few days ago: "Here, Tomura, I entered the address of the green boy you're interested in," says All for One, and fingers his cell phone. "Why should I care about the hero nerd? I hate heroes." says Tomura and looks at the address anyway "On the other hand, I feel something familiar about him. Maybe I'll visit him sometime."Tomura walks away and Doctor Ujiko asks: "Why does the boy look familiar to him? The two have actually never met." All for One replies, "It has to do with his repressed memories. Probably the little boy's plight has something to do with his past. Doesn't matter to me either. It makes it easier to get Tomura to meet with him.")
While looking at his smartphone, he walks through a playground. Then he sees a little boy being bullied by a blond boy with explosive hands and his buddies, and Izuku, whom he's looking for, stands protectively in front of the boys. Izuku threatens, trembling, "I'm warning you Kat-chan, don't come near." The blonde stays calm and says: "What do you want to do, Deku. Paralyze us with your quirks that are useless." and keeps getting closer.
Tomura, who sees everything, goes there. The three of them and Izuku notice him and are immediately shocked, except for Bakugo, when they see his face. One of Kat-chan's friends says, "Hey Bakugo, let's go away. The big one scares us." However, Bakugo says, "What cowards you are. All Might would never run away from a guy like that, they would take him down." Tomura has heard the name of All Might and says with him with a menacing aura and murderous face: "You want to mess with me. I've pulverized dangerous guys."
Bakugo is now feeling the fear too, saying: "You were lucky there, Deku. If we see you again, we'll fuck you up" and walks away with his friends.
Izuku looks at Tomura and says, "Thanks for helping us." Tomura replies, "Don't thank me, I didn't mean to help you. Actually, I wanted to see how you would solve that, but when the blonde said All Might and that he could finish me, I had a desire to pulverize him."
Izuku thanks him anyway and asks: "Tell me, do you want to come to my house? My mother would be happy if I brought someone with me." Tomura wanted to say no but remembered wanting to find out why this boy intrigued him and agreed.
While walking home, Izuku asks, "Aren't you the All Might hater from the hospital? What are you doing here?" He replies: "Good question! I don't know myself. Something about you made me curious. Maybe the situation I heard." "Where you were listening at the door." Tomura thought, 'Actually, I was listening in the room. But I won't tell him that' and nodded.
"When I saw you earlier with the three boys, I wanted to see how you resolved this situation. After all, you wanted to be a superhero," says Tomura and then asks: "Who was the blonde with the explosions? It sounded like you knew each other." Izuku is dejected and says, "You mean Kat-chan. His name is Katsuki Bakugo. I admire him for his superiority, even though he's such a brawler. I kept running after him, but eventually he started pushing me away and I don't know why. I didn't do anything wrong."
Tomura wonders and asks, "You admire a bully. You're way too nice to him. I would finish him." "You're right, but I look at all of him. Not just its negative side. Just like you." answer Izuku. "With me?" asks Tomura. Izuku replies, "Well, you may seem like a villain, but I know you're actually a nice person. Just because you hate All Might and the heroes and have a scary face doesn't mean you're a villain to me." Tomura looks away, embarrassed, says: "I'm a nice person! You are wrong. I'm worse than that Bakugo." He always getting quiet.
Izuku remembers something: "We didn't even introduce ourselves. I'm Izuku Midoriya." Tomura remembers what All for One said to him: "Tomura, if you ever want to visit the boy, don't greet him with the names I gave you. If you ever answer by name, say, "My name is Tenko Shimura." When this name is called, something rings at Tomura.
"Tenko Shimura! I'll remember that," Izuku replies. The two then continue walking until they arrive at the Midoriyas' abode. On the way, the two had argued again about hero things. When they arrive, Izuku rings the bell. His mother opens the door and says, "Hello Izuku. Did you have fun, my little boy. You must have brought someone with you."
"Hey mum! I met Tenko Shimura along the way. He helped me and wanted to invite him. May stay for dinner" replies Izuku. Miss Midoriya howls with happiness and says: "You finally invited someone to dinner. I'm so happy. Of course he can stay. By the way, my name is Inko Midoriya." The two go in.
Tomura takes off his hood. Inko looks at his face in shock and asks, "What happened to your face?" "My face?" asks Tomura, touching his face and saying, "I have no idea what happened to me. I have vaguely memory to it. I know still how my master found me. I remember how my master found me, but I don't remember anything that happened before that except intense pain and anger." and as he did so, his aura became more and more frightening. The Midoriyas were scared for a moment, then Inko asks: "Master? Oh you mean the one who found you and takes care of you!" Tomura nods and Inko doesn't question his guardian's upbringing and his dark past.
The two boys sit down while Inko finishes the meal. Izuku says, "You had a bad childhood, didn't you?" Tenko replies, "Maybe! I don't know what my childhood was like before my master, but your situation reminded something me of that." "My situation!" asks Izuku. "The one with the 'I can't be a superhero' thing. I used to want to be a superhero too, but something went wrong and I've had a hatred of heroes ever since," Tomura replies
Izuku is sad for a moment, then smiles brightly and says, "You once wanted to be a hero like Kat-chan and me. It's great. Hey tell me what kind of hero did you want to be. So I want to be a hero that saves everyone with a smile like All Might. And what is actually your quirk? I'm curious what it is. Probably more suitable than mine." He quickly calms down and apologizes.
Tomura laughed at the situation and replied, "Well 1. I told you I don't remember, so I can't say what kind of hero I wanted to be and 2. my quirk is called decay and it can destroy anything I do touch with my five fingers. And I doubt you can become a hero with destruction." Izuku realizes briefly. "Are you serious when you wanted to pulverize Bakugo" "a little bit!" he replies.
Izuku gets scared for a moment but then says: "Apparently your quirk is no more suitable for being a hero than mine. You know that with my quirk I can enter other people's minds and read their memories. Hey, maybe that way I could retrieve your hidden memory and might even evolve your quirk?"
"I doubt you and I could take the pain behind the memory. Besides, your Quirk is too weak for it. So maybe when we're older but not today." replies Tenko. Izuku then says, "That means if I evolve my Quirk and get older, I could retrieve your memory and make your Quirk hero-ready."
However, angrily, Tomura says, "Listen, I don't want to be a hero. Just because I might have wanted to be a superhero in the past doesn't mean I want to be one someday. Being a superhero sucks! You talk about the lives of people who abandoned a lost child like me. I would pulverize such people."
"What," Izuku replies angrily, "That would make you a villain. Helping people is the most wonderful thing you can do." This debate starts again until Inko comes out of the kitchen and shouts: "Dinner is ready."
Inko sees the two arguing and then says: "You get along well." The two then call out in sync: "I get along with you. Never! We are absolutely opposite." Inko serves the food. "But you know the saying that opposites attract." "But that's not the case with us," they shouted again in sync. The meal begins, with the meal being a bit strained by the boys. After the meal, Tenko says goodbye and Inko says happily at the end: "Come back to us. I would be happy to have Izuku's first friend with us." Tomura and Izuku then yell, "We're not friends." However, Izuku replies: "I would still be happy if you came back. Then I'd have someone to hang out with." Tomura then says goodbye by saying, "I'll definitely be back, if only to clear up our debates." "Ha that would make me happy," Izuku called back.
"I hope he comes back mother," Izuku says, going up to his room, "I'll start training my Quirk to help him out. If I can help my Quirk with someone, if only him, I don't have to be a superhero. It makes me so happy too." Inko sees him going happily to his room and cries even more. 'My Izuku, who is always sad that he cannot be a hero, smiles and is hopeful again. I hope the boy comes back. He makes my son happy'
Little does Izuku know that his new goal will cause a storm that will result in a great awakening for the two of them.
"The boy is really interesting," says Tomura Shigaraki smiling, on his way to master.
