Hey guys. First, I want to thank you guys for the follows and favorites, I surely would have stopped if I knew people weren't wanting more chapters. I couldn't get a chapter out sooner because my draft for this chapter wasn't saved and I lost all of it. It was pretty big too, so I was just crushed. I'm pretty sure I contemplated giving up then and there. But, I really didn't want to disappoint you guys. I also have the basic excuses with me like laziness, school stuff, and other things. And it's been over a week since updating, so I felt really bad. And yes, there is going to be U.A. stuff in the next chapters, don't worry. Anyway, hope you enjoy this chapter and be sure to watch for the next one!
I now know why people always hurt others.
It felt very, very satisfying. It felt even better burning the trash in society. That was my goal. To rid the world of greedy scum who take advantage of people. It gives them a chance to feel what I felt. Pain. So much pain.
I was in the middle of torturing a so-called 'hero' strapped to a chair. Some hero. This 'hero' was accused of sexual assault in his agency building. Right in my qualifications of scum. Perfect.
He currently had all of his fingers broken by yours truly. Most of his teeth were harshly pulled out one by one. He was crying and screaming, pleading to be freed. I chuckled.
"You sure you want to go outside in your state? Look at you! You're all bloody and beaten! Hell, you got bruises everywhere! It would ruin your perfect image!
But it was ruined to begin with."
He screamed louder. It was getting boring and very loud and annoying. So I just punched him and knocked him out. It wasn't too hard considering I was much more muscular than when I first started 10 months ago. Dabi really helped me with that. Even though it hurt really bad.
I repeatedly gripped and loosened my fist a couple of times stretching it before hearing something behind me.
A knock came from the torture room's door. As I turned around, I saw Shigaraki leaning on the door frame.
"Jeez, it's barely the morning, Midoriya, and you're already torturing someone. Hurry up and get yourself prepared for school."
Yes, they still let me go to school. The first time they asked me to go, I was really confused but I quickly realised that it was to hide suspiscion of my whereabouts. I didn't complain as attention would be brought on me if I didn't go at the time.
"Yeah, yeah."
I went to my room and put on my uniform and backpack. I said bye to Dabi, Toga, and Kurogiri as I ran down and got outside the building. As I was walking through my old neighborhood to school, I heard someone call my name from behind me.
"Hey, Midoriya!"
I turned around and came across a student in the same uniform as mine.
'I know where this is going.'
I roll my eyes. "What do you want?"
"Hm? Is that a way to talk to someone who can beat you up in seconds?" He says as he walks up to me.
"I have no time for this."
He became mad and took a swing at me but I grabbed his arm and threw him into a wall next to us. I took out my knife and stabbed him. He let out a scream that lasted for a few seconds but soon went quiet and finally silence.
"Now that he's shut up, I guess I got to clean this up." I sighed. "I'm gonna be late though. You know what? I'll just leave him here."
We were on a pretty open sidewalk but thankfully no one was around. But it wouldn't be surprising if someone found his body in a few minutes.
I crouch down and pick up my knife to clean it with an antibiotic wipe. I then feel the ground shake under my feet.
'This feels very familiar.'
"You! Stop right there!" When I turn around to face the No. 1 hero, his eyes widened.
"It's... you... I should have known you were the one murdering people around this area." His surprise instantly turned into a face of rage.
"Oh! All Might! It's been a while, huh? I didn't expect to meet you again! Did I really become infamous around here? I must be doing good work then! Well, see you old ma-"
As I turn around to walk, All Might appears in front of me in a flash and punches me in the gut. I cough as I fall to the floor. I held myself up on my knees and my right hand. I grasp my chest with my left. I couldn't stay awake and was knocked out.
.

I shakily and slowly open my eyes.
'Where... am I? ...Wait!'
My head shot up and I looked around frantically. I was in a grey room with glass to the left of me that showed my reflection. A door was right next to it so I guessed that the glass was a one-way window. I look in front of me and see a table with a chair on the opposite side of me. When I looked down, I was on a chair with my hands in cuffs that were embedded into the table. I struggle and grunt not realising that someone had entered the room.
"Ahem."
I look at the door to see All Might closing it and facing me. He was in his hero costume now. He moves to sit on the chair that was on the other side of the table.
I groaned quietly in annoyance. "Why am I in here? I clearly committed really bad things and yet I'm not in a jail cell."
He sighed. "Young Midoriya. Heh, I never got your name until the officials told me. Anyway, you're not in a cell right now because I still see potential in you. I saw the passion in you from 10 months ago on that roof. I know, I was a little harsh but I just wanted to tell you the truth. I couldn't possibly sugarcoat it. But that's just another excuse."
He laughed wholeheartedly. His laugh used to make me happy. Really happy. But it became something I hated ever since we were on the rooftop.
"Then what are you going to do to me?" I asked gritting my teeth.
"I was going to get around to that." He said once his laughter died down. "We are going to give you two choices. Put yourself in the hands of someone and start yourself anew or... you get charged and go to a prison. I'd much prefer the former." He says seriously.
Obviously, I didn't want to be in a place with disgusting people so I made my choice. It was better anyway.
I leaned back onto my chair and rolled my eyes. "Alright. I'll start over. But it's only because I don't want to spend time in a place with a bunch of scum."
He nodded. "Good, this information will then be kept private from the public." He then stood up.
"You can release him now!"
A few officers came in and unlocked them with a key.
One of the officers looked at me. "We're not going to let this go unnoticed and you are going to face charges. It's only fair."
"Whatever. I'm just glad I actually got a choice." I grumbled. "Also, what happened to the guy that I stabbed earlier."
"You did injure him but he only passed out from blood loss. He's in the hospital right now."
'Damn it.'
I walked out of the room and out of the building with All Might escorting me.
"So... who's this person who's going to take care of me?" I ask directing my question towards All Might.
He laughed. "Hahaha! Why, me, of course! Also... you look... more fit than I last saw you..."
"Huh? You?! And I'm more fit because I actually started working out! Something that you don't need considering you can just flip between a skeleton and bodybuilder in an instant!" I snapped at him.
He chuckled nervously while rubbing the back of his neck.
"I guess I don't need to stay in this form now, huh?"
All Might then points to a fairly normal 2-story house.
"This your place?"
He looks back at me making a thumbs up.
"I can finally get out of my costume too!"
He walks over to the front door unlocking and opening it.
"Kinda expected a mansion. But I guess if you're the number 1 hero, you got to keep a low profile, huh?"
I get inside and look back at All Might who closed the door and deflated.
"Make yourself at home. I'll get changed. And we'll also go out to get some clothes for you tonight. And don't try anything. The police planted a small tracker in your neck to well... track you."
He turned to go upstairs. I looked around and just fell onto the couch.
'Wow. I've lived in three homes in less than a year.'
I sigh and close my eyes. It was only around afternoon but I felt so tired. I couldn't keep myself awake and just... slept.
