I'm back! It took me a while longer to write up this chapter. School and life have kept me very busy! So I really left you all with that cliffhanger haha! But the wait is over! Here is chapter 4! I hope you enjoy this chapter and are enjoying the story so far. Thank you for your support and happy reading!
-At UA: that same morning-
After hearing the news of their classmate's kidnapping last night, it was fair to say that the students of class 1-A had a hard time sleeping that night. As they entered their classroom and noticed the empty seats of Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki, a sense of fear overwhelmed the student's minds as they worried for their classmate's safety. As the bell rang the students took their seats and prepared themselves for a day of academics, despite their growing worries.
"Hello, my wonderful 1-A students!" Mic Present appeared, leading to confusion among the students as they expect Mr. Aizawa to begin their homeroom lesson.
"I apologize sir, but shouldn't Mr. Aizawa be here for our homeroom class? Or was there a change in schedule?" Iida said as he raised his hand.
"Good observation Iida! As you can see, I will be subbing for Aizawa today. He had some important matters he needed to attend to, but he will be back tomorrow so don't worry!" Mic explains with his usual cheerful tone.
"Is this about Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki?" Kaminari asked.
Mic paused, unsure what to say. Eventually, he decides to give them the truth, "as their classmates I suppose you should know what is going on. Yes, Aizawa is attending an important meeting in regard to your classmates. I know it's hard to continue school as if nothing is wrong, but please know that the best heroes and detectives in the country are working to get them back. So, let's stay positive! Okay! On to the lesson for today."
The students of class 1-A hated uncertainty. They hated not knowing where their classmates were or even if they were okay. They were explicitly told to not go searching for them, if they did, they could face dire consequences. So, all that they could do was hope that they were okay, and that the professionals will get them back.
-At Principal Nezu's office – that same morning-
"Thank you Aizawa and All Might for agreeing to meet with me this morning, I know this is short notice, but I have some important developments regarding Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki's kidnapping. As well as some needed matters we need to address" Principal Nezu commented as he began to organize the pile of notes spread out across his desk.
"It's no problem at all, principal Nezu. What did Tsukauchi find?" Aizawa asked, eagerly.
Principal Nezu flipped through a pile of notes that he had in his hands, he pulled out a paper that contained various lab results, and began reading its contents, "first, we got the results from the toxicology lab to determine what type of drugs the syringes contain. According to the results, the syringes contain both a quirk suppressant and a mild sedative that is usually consumed orally. These discoveries bring into mind the villains' intentions, it seems that they are using every means possible to prevent the three students from escaping. By reducing their ability to use their quirks, fight, or devise an escape plan then they can keep them under their ropes."
All Might and Aizawa were clearly shocked by the news, the new development further increased their need to save the three young heroes.
Intently, the two teachers continue to listen to what principal Nezu had to say.
"Secondly, I do have some good news…Tsukauchi and his team were able to identify the identities of the villains."
"Seriously?!" All Might exclaimed, in disbelief.
"Yes! The villains were able to avoid public surveillance, but they couldn't avoid surveillance placed by the owners of the nearby stores. Thanks to them, we identified two individuals."
Principal Nezu brought out his phone and pulled up the photo of the two villains. He let both Aizawa and All Might take a look at the two perpetrators.
"They go by the villain names of Flux and Hex. They both run a lucrative quirk trafficking ring in the broader Japan-region but have extended to other countries as well."
"Do we have any information on their legal names and what their quirks are?" Aizawa interrupted as he continued to analyze the photo.
"We do actually…Flux's real name is Riku Souta and his quirk is Sonic Speed. As the name implies, he can move at almost sonic speed, particularly making it seem like he can teleport. Although, Hex's particular name & quirk is quite intriguing. Her quirk is known as Hypnotism. Through skin and eye contact she can command any living organism to do what she wants. Additionally, she can also add suggestions and trigger words to bring those affected by her quirk back into that susceptible state. As for her name…her name is Mayumi Shinso."
Both All Might and Aizawa's eyes widened after hearing the villain's family name.
"Shinso? Could this Hex woman be related to Hitoshi Shinso?" All Might wondered fearfully.
"I'm not sure, that's why it's imperative that we get this information. So, I've asked his homeroom teacher to send Shinso to my office to discuss who this Hex person is and if she is somehow connected to Shinso." Added Principal Nezu. Then, without warning, a knock was heard from principal Nezu's office.
"Come in!" Principal Nezu called out.
Carefully, Shinso opened the door and noticed that both All Might and Aizawa were also present in the office. Shinso was already feeling uneasy about his summons to the principal's office, he wasn't given information about why he was needed but he was hoping he was not in trouble. But when he saw both his mentor and the former number-one hero staring at him, his fight-and-flight response surged.
"Hello Shinso, I'm glad you came. Go ahead and close the door for me." Principal Nezu insisted calmly.
Shinso closed the door and then slowly approached the adults in front of him, "what's going on? Am I in trouble?"
"No, nothing like that. We just have some important matters we need to discuss with you." Principal Nezu paused, "I'm sure you are aware of the situation involving Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki."
Shinso nodded, he heard about the kidnapping from his homeroom teacher. Even if he wasn't friends with them, he was still worried for their safety.
"Well, the police were able to identify the villains behind the kidnapping. One villain, in particular, caught our attention. Do you know who Hex is? Also known as Mayumi Shinso."
Shinso's eyes widen, "Actually, I do. S-she's my older sister…"
"Your sister?" Aizawa gasped.
"Yes, but I barely know her. When my parents divorced, she moved in with my dad and I moved in with my mom. We stayed connected for a few years after the divorce but by the time we reached middle school, she suddenly stopped talking to me. So, we parted ways. I never bothered to visit her, and she never bothered to visit me…i-is she responsible for all of this?"
"Unfortunately, she is." Aizawa chimed in, "principal Nezu told us that she and her accomplice, Flux, run a lucrative quirk trafficking ring. Also, we were told that her quirk is Hypnotism which is similar to your Brainwashing quirk."
Shinso looked down at his hands as he started to twiddle his thumbs.
"Our quirks are similar, but her quirk is stronger than mine. We both had different intentions on how we wanted to use our quirks growing up. I wanted to help others and prove to people that my quirk was not "villainous", but Mayumi had other plans. She wanted control and power over others, she saw people as mere pawns. As kids, she constantly abused her quirk. Mayumi would frequently put others under her quirk to get what she wanted. So, hearing that she went down the path of villainy doesn't surprise me, unfortunately."
Shinso paused as he gathered his thoughts, the adults in the room listening to him intently.
"My sister is dangerous…I-I fear Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki are in grave danger. Once under the effects of her quirk, she can essentially command them to do ANYTHING she wants. She can make them spill secrets, turn them against their friends, or even have them commit murder. Not only that, but through trigger words she can snap her victims back into her control, she doesn't need that skin and eye contact to activate the quirk again…whatever the villains want, I fear Mayumi will get it from them" Shinso explained, panic evident in his voice.
"Is there any way to break the quirk's effects? Could an external force work? Similar to how Midoriya was able to break free from your brainwashing, Shinso?" Aizawa asked as he analyzed the villain's quirk capabilities.
"Unfortunately, it isn't that easy. Breaking free from her quirk is nearly impossible, trust me, I know. I think the only way to break free from her control is if Mayumi removes the quirk's effects. Yet, I believe your quirk, Mr. Aizawa, may work. But it'll probably only stop Mayumi's ability to make commands or implement her triggers…. but if she already implemented a command on her victims and they are acting upon it, then Erasure probably won't work. I think incapacitating those she has hypnotized is the only way to stop them." Shinso explained somberly.
"Okay, thank you for letting us know Shinso. This information will help us plan how to best deal with her and the other villain." Aizawa directed his attention to principal Nezu, "it seems that Hex is our biggest threat, especially since she has the capability of turning the three against us."
"I agree, I'll advise Tsukauchi about the new development. This information will help us strategize a rescue. Hopefully, we can get a rescue plan formulated in the next few days. When dealing with a trafficking ring, it is imperative that we get them back as soon as possible" Principal Nezu insisted.
"I agree." All Might chimed in after being relatively quiet during the entire conversation.
"And thank you Shinso for the information. Don't worry, we'll keep your relationship with Hex a secret. Also, this development will not affect your transfer application in the hero course, I promise you."
Principal Nezu's words brought a sense of relief to Shinso's consciousness. After revealing his familial connection with the villain, he was scared that his relationship with his sister will affect the likelihood of him becoming a hero. He's always been stereotyped as a villain due to having a "villainous" quirk, but he has worked to prove that his quirk can be used for hero work. He is hoping that word doesn't come out about their relationship. He feared that if the public knew that the villain responsible for the UA student's kidnapping was his sister, he had a suspicion that it'll affect the public perception of his quirk's usability. He trusts that UA will keep it a secret, but how about Mayumi? At this point, all he can hope is that the heroes can apprehend her before she can make their familial relationship a public display.
"Thanks, principal Nezu, I appreciate it," Shinso replied.
"Of course, Shinso. Well, that is all I have for today, I'll make sure to send any new information your way…Mr. Aizawa, would you mind escorting Shinso back to his class?"
"Of course, come on Shinso." As both Shinso and Aizawa made their way out of the office, Shinso looked back toward his principal.
"Please…make sure you stop my sister."
Principal Nezu glanced back at Shinso, "we promise that we will stop her."
With that the two left, closing the door behind them. All Might was also making his way toward the exit, but the principal stopped him in his track.
"Wait All Might, a quick word before you go."
All Might halted and walked back toward the principal's desk.
"About Midoriya, now that we have information about the villain's identities and quirks, I fear that Hex might use her quirk on him to gain information about One for All." Principal Nezu voiced in a serious yet calm manner.
All Might felt a lump starting to form in his throat as his anxiety began to soar, "do they know about One for All?!"
"I don't have any information about that, it's just a fear. But, if Midoriya ends up under Hex's Hypnotism quirk then I am afraid that he will confess about One for All and divulge everything that is known about the quirk…but all we can do is hope that doesn't happen."
"Yeah…all we can do is hope." All Might sadly replied.
Young Midoriya, I'm begging you, for you and your loved one's safety, don't reveal One for All. We're coming. I promise. All Might quietly begged as he left principal Nezu's office.
-Hex's Office-
Hex was aware of Midoriya's strong will, after all, she did watch the UA Sports Festival and witnessed the battle against his little brother. But, unlike his brother, her hold on people's minds could not be broken by a mere physical stimulus. She has trained her quirk to the point where almost nothing could server the mental connection, he knew that Midoriya did not stand a chance against her.
Hex listened intently as Midoriya began to speak, who was unable to resist the command.
"The quirk that I have was not initially mine, originally, I was quirkless. I had zero power and no quirk to call my own. The quirk that was transferred to me is known as One for All; I was given the quirk by the previous user who was All Might. This quirk has been passed on through generations and I am the current user. One for All is a stockpiling quirk meaning that the quirks of the past users get passed on to the next wielder." Midoriya replied in a monotone voice. Midoriya continued to stare at Hex with an expressionless face.
Hex smiled amusingly.
"Interesting. What kind of quirks do you possess with One for All?" Hex asked.
Without resistance, Midoriya replied, "One for All gives me superhuman strength and six additional quirks. I haven't discovered all the other quirks yet, but I can use one of the quirks known as blackwhip and…and…" Midoriya stuttered as he tried to fight Hex's control over him.
N-no…d-don't…you…n-need to…s-stop! Midoriya's consciousness fought as he tried to regain control of his mind.
Hex felt the resistance, "resistance is futile Midoriya, I'm in control here. Now, continue your explanation." Hex urged seriously, as he placed an arm on his shoulder to strengthen the mental hold.
"and…and…s-stop…" Midoriya fought, he tried to break Hex's eye contact but was having a hard time ordering his body to move.
Hmmm, I guess I stand corrected, his will is stronger than I thought. No wonder my worthless brother lost against him. But you won't be able to fight me for long.
The more Midoriya resisted the harder it was to continue fighting. Eventually, the hold was too strong, he gave in and let himself be sucked in into the welcoming trance feeling. Hex noticed the loss and repeated her question.
"See, you don't stand a chance. Now, go ahead and continue with what you were going to say about One for All."
"Yes. One of the quirks which is known as Float is one I've been training for. My friends at UA and All Might have been assisting me with the training that way I'm prepared for when it manifests. When blackwhip manifested, it was out of control but with the training, I'm hoping to have better control of the Float quirk once it appears." Midoriya paused.
"I see. You can stop with the explanation, Midoriya."
Midoriya nodded and sat motionless as he waited for the next order.
"That is all I wanted to know about your quirk. Now, we will begin your actual training, but first I need to give you a few suggestions and triggers…." Hex made sure that the hold on Midoriya's mind was secured, "whenever you hear the phrase "worthless hero" every single hero you see, including your UA colleagues, will be a dangerous villain in your eyes. All sense of morality will leave your mind, the only important thing will be defeating the "hero" by all means possible, even if that involves killing. Nod if you agree."
Midoriya nodded.
"Good, also, whenever Flux or I say the word "Deku" you will go back to this state and you will do whatever Flux or I say without resistance, no other person's order will have an effect on you. Also, whenever you hear us say "Midoriya" you'll no longer be under my influence. Nod if you agree with what I told you." Hex concentrated on Midoriya as she voiced her suggestions.
Midoriya nodded as he took in the suggestions and made them part of his consciousness.
"Wonderful. Let's test it out…Midoriya."
Immediately, Midoriya blinked and came back to his senses. He felt like he woke up from a daydream. He tried to piece together what happened and then his eyes widened as he recalled what occurred.
"What the hell! No! I will not be your puppet—" Midoriya yelled as he quickly stood up.
"Deku," Hex replied calmly.
In an instant, Midoriya's eyes glazed back into their lifeless state as his whole body relaxed. He was once again transported back into the trance-like state.
"Good, the triggers work perfectly," Hex smiled, "now let's begin your training. Follow me." Hex stood up and made her way to the door with Midoriya following right behind her.
"What is taking that nerd so long?! I should be hearing shouting and freaking explosions by now!" Bakugo exclaimed as he angrily paced his cell.
"Maybe Midoriya was able to pull off a stealth escape," Todoroki added as he was also concerned about the eerie silence in the facility.
"Doubt it. That dam nerd knows that pulling a stealth escape would be impossible. He needs to fight, not sneak his way out." Bakugo commented seriously.
"Good point…do you think something happened to him that prevented him from enacting the plan? Could it be Hex?"
"Huh?"
"I've been observing her and she kind of reminds me of someone we've met, the similarities are striking. S-she kind of reminds me of that guy from general studies who fought with us in the hero course battle, Shinso isn't it." Todoroki pondered quietly as moved closer to his barrier, despite Midoriya's cell separating him and Bakugo, he still tried to keep his tone quiet.
"You think that Hex jerk is related to Shinso somehow?" Bakugo questioned to which Todoroki nodded.
"I'm not certain but it's a thought. If my suspicion is correct and knowing that quirks are hereditary, c-could she have a similar quirk to Shinso's? Something that could be stronger than brainwashing?"
"Tsk! Mind control quirks are so dam annoying."
Bakugo looked at how worried Todoroki was, he was concerned about what may be happening to Midoriya.
"Look. Knowing Deku, he won't lose without a fight especially if it means protecting those he cares about. We saw that he was able to break free from Shinso's control in the sports festival so what is to say that he can't do it again? Right now, all we can do is wait. If he does come back then we can be certain that Hex is behind this, and a mind control quirk is at play." Bakugo explained as he tried to ease Todoroki's worries.
"That's very nice of you Bakugo, thank you," Todoroki replied with a smile.
"Shut your face you Icy Hot bastard! I don't need your sentiment!" Bakugo snapped back.
Todoroki let out a soft giggle, "Okay if the worse does come true and both Midoriya and Hex come back, we'll be next to do our so-called "training". We need a plan in case we are dealing with a mind control quirk."
"Well, it's obvious, don't let her use it."
Todoroki looked at him puzzled. Bakugo moved closer to his barrier hoping to not yell out his plan. Even if he hated to admit it, he wished Midoriya was here to help him analyze the situation.
"Idiot! These psychic quirks have some kind of activation mechanism. For example, Shinso's quirk is activated through verbal replies. So, if we prevent Hex from activating her quirk then it won't work on us. That means avoiding eye contact, not replying, and not having her get close to us. I have a feeling that this bastard relies more on her quirk and less on strength so if we avoid her then we have a chance to attack."
"Okay, but there's a chance that's not going to work. Even if we prevent her from using her quirk on us, she could use Midoriya against us and we also have Flux's speed quirk to worry about." Todoroki voiced defensively.
"Ugh! What other choice do we have!? I'm going to do everything I can to get out of this hell hole, you can do whatever you want but I'm saving our asses! I'll beat them up if I need to!" Bakugo yelled.
"I guess you're right, we don't have any other choice, we need to get out of here before it's too late…" Todoroki looked towards Midoriya's empty cell, "let's just hope Midoriya is okay."
Hex and Midoriya entered what looked like a large, abandoned gymnasium where multiple dummies and target practices were spread out throughout the area. In addition, the area looked like it's been modified to represent various terrains with one area having a large pool, another area with an artificially created rocky hill, and the last area being a normally even-leveled training location. Along the walls, an indoor track wrapped around the facility.
Midoriya would have marveled at the facility's ingenuity, but he did not pay attention to what was happening around him. Absent-mindedly he continued to follow Hex. Eventually, she stopped in front of a row of dummies who were staring down at them.
Hex brought out what looked like two thin mental bracelets from her pocket and proceeded to put them on Midoriya's wrists, "these will temporarily bring back your quirk, the quirk suppressors are still in your system but eventually, there will be no need for any drugs to restrain you."
Midoriya just stared in front of him as Hex finished snapping the bracelets on his wrists.
"Okay Deku, do you see those dummies over there?" Hex pointed as Midoriya nodded.
"I want you to destroy them, use all of the quirks in your disposable to eliminate them"
"Yes, ma'am" Midoriya replied as he ran towards the dummies.
With full cowling fully activated he used air force to blow the dummies into the air. Once in mid-air he activated blackwhip and grabbed every single dummy in his whips. He tightened his hold and quickly launched every single dummy violently against the wall, leaving a dent on the site of the impact. Once the dust cleared, Hex ran over to see the damage that was done while Midoriya stood back with a blank expression. She was shocked to see that the dummies were completely destroyed with every limb severed.
Wow, these dummies are meant to represent real people, this kid is no joke. Hex wondered as he looked at Midoriya.
"Good job Deku let's try something else. Activate float for me."
As he heard the command, it was hard for Midoriya to prevent float from manifesting, even One for All was complying. Midoriya jump into the air and focused on making himself weightless. Hex was shocked to see that he never fell back down to the ground, he stayed suspended in the air as if he was floating.
"Wonderful job Deku. Now go to the top of that hill and destroy every dummy you see. Make sure you use the full range of your power without injuring yourself." Hex insisted.
With the help of blackwhip, Midoriya made his way to the hill. With a combination of shoot-style, air-force, smashes, and blackwhip he managed to clear the floor at an unhuman-like speed. Like previously, all the dummies were destroyed beyond recognition.
"Wonderful! Now, I have one more task for you. Bring him in Nathan!"
The same bodyguard as before walked into the gym dragging a middle-aged man who was blindfolded, gagged, and tied up by the wrist. He led him to the middle of the training facility and forcefully led him to his knees as he removed the blindfold and the gag.
"What the heck! Where the hell am I?! What is this place?! Who are you?!" The man asked in a panic. The man was still wearing his hero outfit but was quite tattered.
"This right here Deku is a hero, he is someone that saves others and protects its citizens." Hex began as he approached the scared civilian and added the same bracelets as the one Midoriya had.
"Now, I will be leaving the gym. You two are free to use your quirks whichever way you wish, if you want to escape, go for it…" Hex opened the door to the exit, "but, I'm sure you'll know what to do, Midoriya."
Hex and Nathan exited the gym, with the door locking behind them. Upon hearing his name, he snapped out of his trance and began to scan his surroundings. He was shocked to see the disaster around him, dismembered dummies were scattered throughout the gym.
"D-did I do this." Midoriya wondered as he looked at his hands.
"Hey! What the hell is going on!" The man yelled.
Midoriya quickly glanced down at the man who was still sitting in front of him.
I know him! He is one of the heroes in the district I grew up in! Midoriya exclaimed mentally.
But before he could fanboy on his childhood hero, he had a sudden realization of the predicament they were in and the danger the hero in front of him was in.
"Get away from me! I-I'm dangerous! She's still here if she says anything I could attack you against my will!" Midoriya yelled as he backed away from the hero, making sure he was not following him.
"Wait, kid! What are you saying? Do you mean that lady? What did she do to you?" The hero asked as he stood up and cautiously walked towards him.
"D-don't get near me! Please! It's for your own safety!" Midoriya was terrified, he was scared that Hex would make him do something…something that he'll regret.
"Come on kid! It's okay! Let's get the hell out of here!" The hero exclaimed making sure his voice was calm.
The hero had such a kind aura that surrounded him, this further scared Midoriya as he feared that he was about to harm such a kind-hearted hero.
"No! I'm dangerous! Y-you get out of here! Save yourself!"
"Oh, aren't we a little rowdy." Hex's voice interrupted from the speakers situated around the gym.
Midoriya was hyperventilating, he could not save the hero who was being so kind to him, who was trying to save him. He knew what was about to happen.
"Let's get the show started, go ahead and defeat this worthless hero, Deku"
Once Midoriya heard the trigger a sense of anger and resentment towards the hero flowed through his mind and body. The hero in front of him continued to stare at him worryingly as he noticed the change in Midoriya. All sense of himself was gone, the only thing that was important to Midoriya was accomplishing his mission which was defeating the so-called "hero" in front of him.
"I would run if I were you," Hex spoke as a devilish laugh escaped her mouth.
Midoriya glared at the hero as if he was his prey, he began to activate full-cowling and slowly made his way toward the hero.
"Wow, kid! What are you doing?! Snap out of it…AH!" The hero yelled as Midoriya quickly lunged at him and aimed a shoot-style kick straight to his abdomen.
The hero avoided him, barely. Midoriya was unsatisfied with the miss and angrily growled at the hero as he prepared for his next attack.
"I'm sorry, kid, but I have no choice but to fight. I promise you; I'll get you out of here." The man activated his telekinetic powers and flung a nearby dummy toward Midoriya.
Midoriya skidded to the side and avoided the projectile. Before the hero had a chance to fling another dummy, Midoriya caught him in his blackwhip, wrapping his whips around his neck.
Instead of throwing him against the wall like the other dummies, he strengthened his hold on him and began to suffocate the hero within his blackwhip.
"I…can't…breath…" The hero begged as he tried to claw his way out of the bindings.
He is a villain! All villains must die! Midoriya yelled internally.
Midoriya continued to suffocate the hero with rage in his eyes.
"…. Please…" The hero choked.
Izuku! Stop! His thoughts yelled.
The fog in his mind dissipated for a split second allowing him to reflectively turn off blackwhip, the hero fell to the ground gasping for air.
"Come on Deku don't fail your mission. Destroy him." Hex's voice was heard throughout the gym.
"Yes, ma'am"
Midoriya shot a shoot-style kick straight into the hero's abdomen which violently threw him across the gym, rendering the hero unconscious.
"You may stop, Midoriya" Hex's added before Midoriya landed another attack on the defenseless hero.
Hex's control dissipated. Once out of the control, Midoriya immediately knew what he had just done. He's knees dropped to the ground and began to cry uncontrollably. He couldn't believe what he just did. He almost killed someone…if it weren't for Hex snapping him out of it, he could have ended his life.
"I'm…so…sorry!" Midoriya choked between sobs, "This…is all my fault!"
"Great job Midoriya, that concludes your training." Hex walked back into the gym and stood above Midoriya who was still sobbing from the experience.
"Oh, lighten up Midoriya! I'll make you forget about all of this. You won't remember that this ever happened so no need to get all sentimental."
"Shut the hell up, you monster." Midoriya sneered, avoiding her gaze.
Hex merely smiled, "oh! Thanks for the One for All information, by the way, our vendors will be very pleased to hear about your capabilities."
Midoriya's heart stopped, he almost forgot that he was made to divulge everything about One for All. He knew that nothing good will come out of revealing One for All to these villains.
"No—" That was all Midoriya could utter before Hex interrupted him.
"Alright Deku…go ahead and stand up for me."
Midoriya's eyes glazed over as he once again was sent back into the trance-like landscape. Midoriya did as he was told and effortlessly stood up. Hex grabbed Deku's wrist and began to remove his metal bracelets.
"Listen closely Deku, while you're in this facility, you will not be able to use your quirk unless Flux or I tell you to. Also, you will not be able to escape your cell, any thoughts of escaping will be non-existent. Additionally, you will forget everything that happened, about our talk and about the training. When asked about what happened you will reply that you trained with me at a gym located in the facility. All that you did was work through various fight simulations, punched a few dummies, and spared with me for a bit. Nod if you understand these suggestions."
Midoriya nodded.
"One more thing, I knew about your escape plan, you really thought you were going to escape while we were in our training session. That's so foolish of you, you did not have a chance. Here's another suggestion for you, if asked about why you didn't act upon your plan, just say that the situation was too dangerous." Hex added as she concluded her suggestions.
"Now, follow me, I'll be taking you back to your cell and I'll bring your next friend to train with me," Hex utter as she and Midoriya made their way toward the door.
"Nathan!"
"Yes, ma'am." Nathan appeared from an adjacent door.
"Lock the hero up, make sure you attend to his wounds," Hex commanded.
"Understood, Hex!" Nathan made his way to the unconscious hero as Hex and Midoriya left the gym.
Midoriya's vendor will be very content with the information we acquired; Hex wondered mentally.
"It must be my lucky day, who knew we would find the One for All user and have him under our grasp"
Hex was ecstatic. Before long, he'll have both Todoroki and Bakugo under her spell. She couldn't wait, exciting plans awaited those three at the quirk appetite test, and her role as the trainer will soon pay off.
As they got closer to his cell, a singular tear ran down Midoriya's cheek, even within the fog that enveloped his mind he knew he failed. His friends were about to meet the same fate as his and he couldn't do anything about it.
