Chapter 19
Every guardian of Nazarick knelt before their leader. The supreme being Galadriel Melkor sat on her throne, looking down at her loyal subjects. There was nothing they wouldn't do for her, and Galadriel knew it. But that was not her, at the very least, when it was about something important. Galadriel stared at the guardians who were all paying attention to her.
"Guardians, I thank you all for coming in such a brief notice," Galadriel said, and like always they told her it was not a problem.
"Please my lady, we will always answer your call!" Demiurge said.
Galadriel rolled her eyes. But she smiled at the demon. "I know." She replied.
"First, Mare and Aura, you two have worked hard to cover the surface of Nazarick. For the last year, I could see the improvements in the walls and the surrounding forest. Good job both of you," both elf twins blushed at the words of their lady.
Nazarick had the fortune to appear in the most desolated place on Earth. A place where winter, mountains, and endless forest were mostly unexplored. Siberia, a perfect place to hide the tomb. Mare increased the hills around the tomb. The young elf boy created new rivers and added tress all over the place to confuse whoever managed to get so far. Then there were the many magic traps set up by Mare and Demiurge. Both of them went wild with ideas, and oddly but cute pair if Galadriel could say.
Aura, however, felt left out. There weren't mythical creatures in the world, and she felt sad because of it. Still, Galadriel felt Aura had the perfect ability to use the surrounding animals to their advantage. It only took a few days for Aura to have fun. There weren't mythical beasts, but their normality was cute for Aura.
Aura has now her own farm, with bears, foxes, and more. Creatures, the elf girl used to patrol. The elf girl also used her summons. Creating a perimeter wide and long around Nazarick entrance. The watchful eyes of Albedo, the overseer of the guardians carefully monitored everything. The succubus lover and so-proclaimed first wife wasted no resources to bring security to the tomb. And oddly enough. She became very adept in the ability to think outside of the box. Something Galadriel was glad about to see. It took years, but finally, the guardians were thinking by themselves. Giving ideas and sharing their thoughts with her. It made things easier for Galadriel and leaves any doubt away of her mind. They were loyal to her with no hesitation or doubt.
Galadriel smiled as she saw the twins' elves' joyful expressions. So cute! I want to hug them! Were the thoughts of the supreme one.
"It's nothing my lady!" Aura replied smiling, as Mare nodded happily.
"We are happy to serve you!" Mare said with a blushing face.
"I know, however, you two have been working endlessly for the good of Nazarick. That merit a reward. Please tell me what you two desire the most?" Galadriel asked.
The twins wanted to protest at the idea of getting rewards, but they saw the smiling face of Demiurge as they remembered the last time their lady gave them both compensation. It was one of the topics the guardians talked about many times in their reunions. Sebas was the one who brought up the theory that perhaps their lady showed her love for them in this manner. And they should be grateful.
"Ah, well, could… Could my lady take me to those things called Zoo? I heard there is a big Zoo in Germany!" Aura asked with red cheeks, Galadriel tilted her head at the strange request.
"Mm, a Zoo visit? Why not? It could be fun, and Aura is so cute when she blushes," Galadriel thought.
"Understood, Aura, I will take you to the Zoo," Aura was squealing with joy at the thought of having an entire day with her lady. They could eat those pink clouds they sell and look at the animals. It would be a fun day.
"And what about you, Mare?" The shy elf boy only stared with devotion and love.
"I just want to spend a day with my lady. Could I come with you at the Zoo?" Mare asked shyly.
"It's not a problem at all, Mare. It's that fine with you, Aura?" The oldest of the twins shrugged. She was already happy to spend an entire day with her lady.
"Well, it's decide it then. Now, for now, let's focus in our work," Galadriel said as both twins nodded, already waiting excitedly for the day with their lady.
"Demiurge, I belive we should now change our aim to the heroes of Japan. Our plans in Europe are going smoothly, as many of their agencies are under our company. And so are the heroes there, the popularity of our brand is over the roof, you did well," Galadriel said.
"My lady, please it was only because of your foresight!" Galadriel groaned at the exciting look of the demon.
"Shit, here we go again," Galadriel thought.
"Please, Demiurge, don't lowered yourself so low, after all it was your idea to create an enterprise to assimilate every other company. Now, we are at the stage of our new objectives. We Europe in our control thanks to our influence in the governments and national heroes there. We now need to bring Japan to fold," Galadriel said, hoping the demon would just shut up and take the praise.
"Everything is going as you predicted, my lady!" Galadriel felt like slapping her forehead, but she could only sigh in defeat.
"Now, moving on. I believe you all now know about the League of Villains, and our plans involving them. Lupusregina infiltration was a success. The villains are not aware of her spying on them and thanks to that we have an open window in their operations, besides our Nomu specimen has brought interesting news for us. Demiurge please tell about the results you have for me," Galadriel called Demiurge, who stood up proudly ready to deliver his recent results. The rest of the guardians stared at him, waiting.
"As my lady just said. I will start by saying that, although our focus is to get control of Japan's economic market, and political power. The Villain League is something we shouldn't ignore. They have decades of experience, and information. The Nomu is a proof of their knowledge in Quirks. Something we should investigate and control," Demiurge drawled, making sure everyone heard him.
"What do you mean? What makes this Nomu thing, so important?" Shalltear asked.
"Because it has Quirks, you flat-chested mosquito!" Aura exclaimed.
"What did you call me?!"
"You hear me!"
"Enough both of you," Albedo said, chastising both of them.
"Continue, Demiurge," Albedo replied while sneering at both girls.
"Mm, to answer your question, Shalltear. What I have found it's that, a Nomu is a human corpse they altered to hold multiple Quirks. As far as I could see, the reason the Nomu looked like that, it's because of the amount of genetic mutations it suffered," Galadriel nodded, hearing the words of Demiurge carefully. She expected something like that, but Galadriel still wondered how could they do it.
"Demiurge, could we duplicate it? To create our own Nomu? Could we use our undead to do so?" Galadriel asked, to which Demiurge sighed, ashamed of his inability to replicate such wonder.
"I apologize, my lady. I haven't been able to do such a thing. They must possess a way to implement the Quirk into the body's DNA. I do not know if they were alive before such forceful implementation. They could very well be alive before the operation and die because of it. The human body cannot hold such destruction in their genetic code," Demiurge said, as Galadriel thought about Midoriya. His body was clearly still trying to adjust to his Quirk.
"I see, for what Demiurge says. The Nomu, or well, the person it was before could have been alive in the whole procedure, and only die after the Quirks emerged into his body. That's a sound theory. Midoriya could have been the exception. Or, maybe, it was not as a forceful change on his DNA. Since it gradually adjusted to his system and it was only one Quirk too."
Galadriel mulled over the implications of that. Still, something was missing. Galadriel could almost feel it in the air. There was something more going on. Those strange lights in Midoriya's body. The link between All Might and the leader of the Villain League.
The more the mystery surrounding Midoriya grew. The more Galadriel got interested in the young boy with green hair. Like a puzzle, she needed to solve. Galadriel would find out about it, eventually, of that she was sure. Patience was the only thing she needed.
"Um, well, with Lupusregina there, it's only a matter of time to find out how they did it. Now, this tied out to our next step," Galadriel said.
"It does indeed, my lady. We have everything ready, not only to destabilize the pro-heroes but as well to show the world that there is a new contender," Demiurge said, smiling.
"This would be a bait, not only for the heroes of Japan but, the Villain League," Albedo said, as every guardian put the dots together.
"It does, my dear Albedo. Although I am quite sad to lose my bunny pet, even thought it's only for a while," Galadriel smirked at the thought of the succulent dark-skinned girl she left in her room. Poor Mirko was tired from the previous encounter a few hours ago.
"But she is important for what it's coming. With Mirko and the other guy, we can control the insides of the pro-heroes. But first, we need to bring the attention of the Villain League and for that… My dear guardians, I need you to create your own, villain name and character," Galadriel said.
"And so crate the name of our own villain league. Please let it be a good name," Galadriel said, smiling.
"We will use a name worthy of our evilness, my lady," Albedo said with confidence.
"I know you will," the demon empress said.
Then Galadriel remembered something important. Well, for her. And it was that soon the kids would arrive at her house in Japan. A strange feeling emerged from whiting her. She shrugged it off.
"Ah, but I will leave you all to think of it… Albedo, I will leave it to you. I have to tutor some kids."
Galadriel didn't notice the strange look on Albedo's face. Almost as if she was sneering at thought of some kids stealing away her beloved one. Or perhaps it was something else.
The group of young students stood there with their mouths wide open, seeing the house, no, the mansion before them in awe. They knew the white-haired girl was rich. But watching how rich she was, it was another entire thing differently. The place was enormous, and even Yaoyorozu could see it was way bigger than her own house.
Then the immense doors open and revealed a group of beautiful maids, holding gentle smiles.
"Welcome, our lady is waiting for all of you," every blushed at the sight of those cute maids.
As they enter, they saw Galadriel coming down from the golden staircases. Everyone opened their mouth watching her blue dress with a gorgeous flower ribbon around her waist. They all knew she was beautiful. But watching Galadriel with another outfit that wasn't the school uniform, or her hero outfit. Was strange.
"Sorry for not receiving you. I was busy, I hope there was no problem to get here. My family, created and improved the roads to get here faster," Galadriel said, smiling. They all nodded, numbly.
Yaoyorozu, who was more used to this lifestyle, coughed shyly and bowed deeply.
"Don't worry, miss… Ah, Galadriel. Thank you for the invitation, we are in your care," Yaoyorozu said as a highborn lady would. The rest followed through, nervously.
"You look beautiful, Gali!" Ashido exclaimed.
"Thank you, Pinky," Galadriel replied.
"Please come in, don't stand there. Please serve us some refreshments," Galadriel ordered as she guided the rest of the kids to the living room. To the luxurious living room.
"This place is enormous," Ojiro whispered.
"Yeah, it's quite scary if you think about it. You could get lost here," Sero replied.
"Look at that TV! And… Oh! It's that the new Gaming Station Super X?!" Kaminari yelled, pointing his to the blue console. Galadriel smiled rather smugly at it.
"Of course it is," Galadriel replied.
"But the console will come until next year!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"Fufufu, well, my father knows a friend who knows another friend. They were more than glad to give me an early console," Galadriel's smug face was something new for them. Then they realized that the perfect lady had no problem using her father's influence to get what she wanted. Oddly enough, they were half-right.
Galadriel was a gamer at heart, and playing games was still her big escape.
"Using your dad's influence to get your way. That's not very hero like," Sero teased.
"What else do you do, Galadriel? Do you get discounts everywhere too?" Jiro asked with a smile of her own.
"Well, it's not like I use it to get my way all the time. But sometimes, I can't wait for a new release," Galadriel excused herself, only for the rest to look skeptical. Thankfully, the maids took the focus away from her.
"My lady, we brought the refreshments," the maid said, as every one of them could smell the delicious food before them.
"Thank you, Cixous. Please, enjoy the meal," Galadriel said, as she ate too.
The first bite was enough for them to taste paradise. The delicious food was beyond anything they have tasted before in their life. Yaoyorozu, being a high-born lady too, was in awe at the quality of the food. No wonders why Galadriel eats so much.
Everything came from Nazarick, the meat, cakes, and tea. And watching the kids enjoying the food from Galadriel's home brought a proud smile to the demon empress.
"This is so good!" Sero exclaimed.
"I can't belive there is something as delicious as this," Jiro said with surprise.
"Could I get more?!" Kaminari asked, as one maid poured more tea.
"This is delicious, Galadriel. You have the most amazing chef in the world. Do your family have their own farm?" Yaoyorozu whispered, taking another bite of the food to send from heaven.
"This is so good, Gali!" Ashido said.
"Amazing," Ojiro said.
Watching them enjoying the work of Nazarick chefs made Galadriel happy, especially when they praised her even more. Yaoyorozu asked where did the tea come from since it was the most delicious tea she ever tasted. Galadriel proudly told her it came from Russia. Where she came from. They cultivate it with a secret recipe, passed down from her ancestors. It was not true, but not a lie either. Since it truly came from Nazarick.
The rest of the kids asked questions about her family, and although she told them the manufactured backstory of her family. It thrilled them to hear more about her. No matter if all was a lie.
Galadriel felt happy to hear it. She was proud of Nazarick and everyone there, so to hear some else see how amazing they were. Brought a big smile to her face.
The white-haired girl continued the day teaching the kid's basic stuff. Galadriel felt weird acting as a teacher, but it was not oddly strange. She was used to speaking and explaining things, went it came to numbers and academy stuff. She rather enjoyed it. Galadriel felt pride when Sero could understand how easy classical literature was. When Jiro could solve a rather complex equation.
Ashido did her best to keep up with the rest too, making Galadriel smile.
Ojiro and Kaminari were a challenge, but as the end of the day approached. Even the drooly kid understood more than he thought he would. Yaoyorozu became great at understanding economics, something that brought a smile on the girl with long dark hair.
"Thank you, Galadriel! Really, you're a lifesaver!" Jiro said smiling, as she stretched after a long day of studying. The rest of the kids laugh and smile, and Galadriel for a moment felt out of place.
"You truly are a great friend."
Those words made Galadriel frown. Friends. They see her as their friend. For a moment she thought of her old Nazarick colleagues. Her friends abandoned her. Galadriel didn't know how to feel about it. She saw the smiling faces and sighed.
"They are good kids. A shame, I am what I am."
Galadriel thought bitterly. She would enjoy the feeling of friendship once more. But a part of her wondered how long it would take until her double life caught up with her. Since she knew that if things came to choosing between them and Nazarick. The Tomb would always be first. But Galadriel didn't want to come to that.
"Yeah, friends..."
Galadriel whispered, hoping that day never comes.
The next days went in a blink, and while Galadriel felt that soon all of that was about to change. However, she felt relief that things were going smoothly for her. Then there were the tests she had to take. For a moment she had to remember that she was in school. A superhero's school, but a school none the less.
Then, the practical exam came, and Galadriel was curious to see what it was. Curiosity reward with the view of all of her teachers standing before the students fully geared up. Something was going on with the teachers there. They were all smirking.
Galadriel felt that somehow the practical test was something more complicated.
"Sure are a lot of teachers here…" Jiro said somewhat nervously.
"What you think this is for?" Kirishima whispered to Bakugo, who just ignored him.
"Welcome to the practical test!" The small dog said as he appeared from Eraser's headscarf.
"Principal Nezu?!" The students gasped.
"I hope you guys are ready, since this revision is going to be quite different from the ones before!" Nezu said as both Ashido and Kaminari felt their souls leave their bodies.
"You all need more experiences in battle against flesh-and-blood opponents! So taking this as an opportunity, we decide to face off the students of class A-1 against their teachers!" Said Nezu with joy, as it was the greatest idea ever. But in hindsight, it was a good way for them to get more combat experience. Or so Galadriel thought.
"The teachers!"
"Are they serious?"
"I don't know about it…"
"Yes, now without wasting more time lest start with the pair number one! Miss Yaoyorozu and young Todoroki will face off against Eraser Head," the sleepy teacher somehow looked more alive than before, while Yaoyorozu seemed nervous and Todoroki unfazed. Galadriel thought that both of them make quite the pair. But she knew Yaoyorozu was not the fighting type. Todoroki could create problems if he was not careful with his flames. But then again, his ice could hinder things too.
And Yaoyorozu, for her part, could take the defensive or supportive approach, so Galadriel was curious to see how both of them could defeat Eraser Head.
"Now, the next team is going to be more different. Young Midoriya, and Bakugo would team up with Miss Nazarick… And your opponent would be…"
"Me!" All Might said as he appeared behind them.
"All Might?!" Both Midoriya and Bakugo said.
"Haha, you'll have to work together to win against me! So come at me, the three of you!" All Might said wearing his trademark smirk.
Galadriel smiled at the opportunity presented to her. The day has just turned up to be a good one.
