The next day
I've been up thinking about her. Her demeanor, her appearance, but most importantly her quirk. What if she doesn't possess what I need. Then what?
No, I know she is what I'm looking for. I can't believe I'm thinking this hard about something that I will use as a tool. I have what it takes to obtain her. I just need to walk through the front door….
….
Hm?…
As I watch her through the cafe windows, the building fills with smoke.
What's happening? Is it it villain? No a fire?
Before I am able to make my move, the smoke recedes. But that doesn't stop me from determining the cause. I finally run into the cafe…
"What's going on in here?"
After taking in the scene, I notice the woman I shall make my pawn surrounded by ice.
"Oh a hero! I am sorry to startle you, please don't waste your time. I accidentally left something in the oven and it caught fire. But I have it under control," she says.
Ice? I'm surprised that she has something so useful…. Something so perfect for my creation….
"Um …. Sir?"
I'm engulfed by the idea of me producing a prodigy that will fulfill my dream. But when I finally come to, I recognize that she's been standing there, staring at me. Rather than mention the lapse in conversation, I ignore her and proceed to ask her my original question…
"I didn't catch your name."
"Oh! Um it's Reí. I'm truly sorry for alerting you and wasting your time. As an apology, would you like tea? It's on the house."
"No thank you. I did not catch your last name."
"Himura. I'm so sorry, I know utilizing a quirk without a license is an offense. Will I be taken in for questioning? I'm truly sorry. I didn't mean to…"
"No. This situation is minor. I'll be going then."
