Chapter 20
The Demon Empress peered at the so-called number one hero, All Might with interest. Galadriel would take this opportunity to study the pro-hero power. She was going to enjoy the moment. To see how far could she go against him by only using her basic skills. The only abilities she has used so far. Besides, she wanted to impress the top hero with her charisma.
That being said, the current situation she was in could be any more annoying. Well, amusing was a pleasant word too. Galadriel sat next to Midoriya, who was blushing deeply. Like a cute blushing bunny or dog, perhaps. Bakugo was at the end of the bus, sneering at them, or her, or a Midoriya. Galadriel didn't know. But if she was correct, Bakugo was angry that she was next to Midoriya. Maybe it was her imagination, she wouldn't know. Teenagers were weird these days.
Galadriel sighed as she leaned back into her seat.
After watching every student going against each teacher, it was the turn of the last three. So they took a small bus and went on their way. Soon, they would reach the training ground.
So meanwhile, they sat on the bus with an awkward silence.
"How long would it be before the guardians think of their villain names? I hope the names are cool or something," Galadriel thought.
Galadriel could see that the number one hero seemed restless, or anxious. A hilarious thing for her to see, since he was supposed to be a pro-hero. The best hero in all of Japan.
"Why not play a word game or something?" The number one hero asked nervously.
None replied. Bakugo kept on sneering at everyone like a rabid hamster, Midoriya was not only restless for the upcoming test, but he was trying hard to not look at Galadriel's thighs. The white-haired girl was using the same navy military outfit from before, but it was now blue. The small skirt truly showed the girl glorious legs, and poor Midoriya was doing his best to not peak the girl's legs. Yet, Galadriel seemed the only one not stressed out, or worried.
So deciding to throw the silences away. She turned her head at All Might and said. "Sure, why not?"
"I will say a word, and you will say another one using the last letter of the word I gave you. And so on, okay? ~ Apple," Galadriel said, as everyone was staring at her in bewilderment or amusement.
All Might smile, feeling the tension leaving the bus slowly.
"Elephant!" The number one hero said proudly.
Galadriel gave a slight nudge to Midoriya, who nervously replied with, "Telephone."
Galadriel glared at Bakugo, as he could only sneer.
"Fuck you, I won't play that stupid ass game! It's for kids! You white-haired albino!" Bakugo said.
"Why can you have fun? Honestly, you are boring," Galadriel mocked.
"I won't play that stupid game! It's over! You can do it all by yourself!" Bakugo replied furiously. But the annoying smiling coming from Galadriel was still on her face.
"So you're a loser then," Galadriel smiled, knowing full well how the bomb kid would react at the word loser. Bakugo vein popped out, and All Might could swear that the kid was going to have a stroke by such a thing.
"Say it… A word with E~!" Galadriel smirked.
Bakugo only glared at her with all the intense feeling of anger he could muster. How much he hated her.
"EAGLE!" Bakugo yelled, furious at the white-haired girl.
"Early~," Galadriel said winking at the bomb kid who was trembling in rage.
"Yogurt!" The number one hero said with a grin on his face.
"T-Team," Midoriya replied, feeling more relaxed than before.
"Micropaleontology, you fuckers!" Bakugo yelled, again.
"Youngling," Galadriel replied easily, however, All Might was feeling left out by such words.
"Eh, generation," he replied.
"Nitroglycerin," Midoriya replied with a smile.
"Noradrenaline, your turn bitch," Bakugo said.
"Echinodermatous."
"What?! That's not a fucking word you white-haired albino!" Bakugo yelled.
"It is a word, my dear Kacchan. Echinoderm is any marine animal of the invertebrate with radiating arrangement of parts. Like starfishes, seas urchins, sea cucumbers, and so on. Echinodermatous is a wider term pertaining of the echinoderms. But you clearly don't know, don't you? My, my, I know more than you. What a surprise."
Galadriel smiled innocently while Bakugo growled.
"Shut up! You are using unusual words to win! You cheater!" Bakugo yelled in anger.
"What? You started it with micropaleontology, if I remember correctly. Really, Kacchan, don't insult yourself. Just say you are not as smart as me. But don't worry, I forgive you. Few people can be as smart as me," Galadriel said, grinning.
"You bitch!" He hissed like a rabid hamster, or perhaps a dog. Galadriel was not sure.
"What have I told you about speaking like that to a lady? Didn't your mother told you to show respect to a woman~?" Galadriel replied with a condescending tone.
"Don't fight, please we need to work together soon," Midoriya said, trying to calm the both of them. But he knew words won't work with Bakugo.
"Shut up, Deku!" Bakugo yelled.
"Don't listen to him, Midoriya. He is jealous of you being next to me," Galadriel with a teasing smile, as she leaned her head on Midoriya's shoulder. An action that brought both anger and frustration to Bakugo for a reason he was not sure about it. But whatever, he couldn't understand. He destroyed.
Midoriya could only blush at such action from the white-haired girl. The smell of her hair, the softness of all. Midoriya was a happy young man.
Galadriel, however, was not sure of why she acted in such away. She felt fine doing it. It was the same feeling of calm and happiness Galadriel experience with the other kids a few days ago. Such a strange thing for the Demon Empress to feel with outsiders of Nazarick. But maybe there was a reason for it. So far, Galadriel couldn't figure out why, but she would ponder about it.
Could it be something more to it? Perhaps it was something she deeply missed from old Yggdrasil days. Maybe it was something she never experienced in her old life. The thrill of acting like a normal girl, the feelings of friendship, and more. Galadriel was sure that perhaps she was enjoying this too much. But she was a demon, a Demon Empress. So, who says she can't indulge herself in any fun she wanted? To experiment with them? To do whatever she wanted? Bringing the world to its knees was part of her nature.
Having the title of Demon Empress was to be forever in the search of conquering. To rule over those who defied her, or over those who were weaker than she. But it was also the feeling of having the power to do whatever she wanted to do. So, Galadriel would do just that.
Galadriel would indulge in the life of a student, with all that it entails. Maybe she would grow bored with it and move on. Perhaps she would kill them if they prove a burden to her plans. Or Galadriel would experiment with them, to create her own Nomus. Galadriel could take those she found interesting, or useful and brainwash them to serve her needs, just like Mirko. Maybe Midoriya could be her first male experience.
It didn't matter at the end of things. Galadriel would do whatever she wanted, and for now, she would enjoy this. The taunting, the serene and cheerful adolescent lifestyle she never had.
"Fucking… Bitch," Bakugo replied with a hiss, low and dangerous, watching the smile face on Midoriya.
Yet, Galadriel was not over with her teasing.
"Come here, Bakugo, put your head on my lap. I will make you feel better," Galadriel said. Her eyes were shining with evil intent as she saw the face of Bakugo.
"Shut up, I don't need you to make me feel better! I can do it myself!" Bakugo said, slowly realizing how it may sound. He wanted to slam his head in the window hard and forget it all.
"Young Bakugo," All Might whispered in a sad voice.
"Kacchan!" Midoriya said with red face.
"Oh, pervert, but understandable. Young men are energetic these years. But I never thought you would be one of those," Galadriel said, faking surprise.
"I kill you," Bakugo's face uniquely combined embarrassment and rage. Humiliation to what he just said, and fury to whom he said it. Bakugo never thought he would find someone more annoying than Deku. But there she was, a girl with white hair and a mischievous smile.
"Alright, I will stop, sorry for the teasing," Galadriel said with a surprising hint of honesty. Bakugo said nothing as he scoffed while looking at the window. Fucking annoying girl! I hate her so much! If she wasn't stronger than me, I would have killed her! Bakugo thought angrily.
"But honestly, Bakugo, take things slowly. The more you push people away, the more lonely you will be. And believe me, you don't want to feel alone. It's a horrible feeling," the honest voice of Galadriel surprised all of them. There was something in her tone, something painful. All Might, the pro-hero was not sure what it was. But he could almost guarantee it was something the girl experienced before.
Bakugo gave a slight glance as he saw those golden eyes and beautiful face. The fact she was so gorgeous, strong, and smart annoyed him. It was at that moment; Bakugo understood he felt a sense of attraction to her. She was everything a hero should be. Strong-minded, powerful, and friendly when she wanted. The white-haired girl was going to be one of the best heroes in the world, without a doubt. She was going to be a stepping stone to Bakugo. But he couldn't shake the feeling of affection and respect.
Bakugo scowled at the thought of that. Fuck, what a pain in the ass! I will beat her, then I will forget about it! He thought, sadly for him it won't happen.
"Shut up," Bakugo only muttered, looking at the window.
All Might however was watching everything silently.
Now I can understand why Aizawa told me that only miss Nazarick could control young Bakugo. Ah! Young love! ~ Young Midoriya, please don't let them steal your crush away! The number one hero thought, praying for his heir to get the girl of his dreams.
It took around five more minutes for them to arrive at their destination.
The training ground was a city, or rather a fake part of a city. The moment they arrived, All Might disappeared, leaving behind only words of encouragement. They would need them, or at least two of them.
Galadriel went into competitive mode. For her, the current training was a pvp moment, a team pvp. Not only she could gather information about All Might power. But she would test her basic abilities. And see where she could go with only [Arcane Sword] [Arcane Shield] or some of the lowest tier spells.
However, while Midoriya could work together with her, the bomb kid was not. Bakugo was not about to let the opportunity to beat All Might go. Yet, Galadriel would not lose because the kid wanted to act all arrogant. If she had to beat some sense into Bakugo, she would.
"Kacchan, we need to first!" Midoriya exclaimed, following Bakugo as he wandered like he owned the place.
"Stop following me!" Bakugo yelled back.
"But we need to think like a team! We need a plan!" Midoriya yelled.
"I only have one plan, and it's beating him! That is my fucking plan!" Bakugo replied.
"I will not let him toy with us! To use those handcuffs to dismiss his power, that's fucking insulting. I'll beat him, you can run all you want, I will not!" Bakugo added, hissing like a snake.
"Kacchan, even with that handicap he is still All Might! We can't hope to defeat him in a fight!" The moment Midoriya approached him, Bakugo only replied with a punch. Midoriya groaned on the floor, while Bakugo's face contorted in fury. There was only so much Bakugo could take, and he was at his limit.
"Stop talking to me! Who do you think you are?!" Bakugo growled.
Midoriya could only stare back, feeling the pain of his cheek growing. Before, he would have been afraid to say anything, but now things were different. Midoriya stood up, refusing to look down like before. Something Bakugo noticed fast and only brought more anger to him.
"We need to work together! It's the only way for us to win!" Midoriya yelled.
"I don't need you to win anything!" Bakugo yelled.
But then, as both of them were screaming at each other like a married old couple. Galadriel had enough of them. She slapped both of them hard. Leaving a mark on each of their cheeks. It stunned Bakugo and Midoriya, they could only stare in bewilderment. Those two annoyed Galadriel to no end sometimes. For her, in a pvp environment, discussions in the open ground were a big no-no.
Galadriel exhaled deeply, glaring at both of them.
"Keep screaming like that, and I will give you both a reason to scream," she said.
But before she could say more, she sensed a powerful wind coming their way. The blast was powerful enough to destroy the buildings around. The road and everything around them were slowly fading away in the impressive storm of air. Even the cars flew away.
As the dust settles down, they heard heavy and intimidating steps. All Might was coming, and the bright smile and shining blue eyes were not as reassuring as before.
"If any of you think of this as another test. Well, you all going to have a bad time, heroes!" He said, making both Bakugo and Midoriya shiver in fear.
"So, give me your best shot! For I'm a villain now!" All Might exclaimed.
Galadriel couldn't help herself but smile. There was a lot to enjoy today. Yet, Bakugo forgot what the white-haired girl said. He would not ask any of them for help. So he threw away any sense of preparation or fear. Bakugo rushed at All Might, like the big fool he was.
"Kacchan!" Midoriya yelled.
"What. An. Idiot." Galadriel hissed.
"Stun Grenade!" Bakugo yelled, as a bright flash of light sparked from his hand.
Bakugo, seeing an opportunity to attack, jumped right into All Might, believing his attack still stunned him. However, it was not the case. The number one hero smiled at the gall of young Bakugo, to do such an open attack. All Might waste no time. Grabbed Bakugo by the face, and smashed right in the ground. The sound of Bakugo crashing brought a smile to Galadriel.
Bakugo needed to learn the hard way. The really hard way.
All Might glare at both Midoriya and Galadriel and smile. In a blink, he kicked Midoriya right in the chest, and Galadriel in the stomach. Both of them let a cry of pain. Well, only Midoriya.
"Ha ha~! It's so funny to be a villain once in a while!" The number one hero said smiling.
"Galadriel, are you alright?" Midoriya asked while he could barely breathe.
Galadriel only smiled. "Don't worry, I am," she replied. The speed of the attack honestly surprised the white-haired girl. Since she was not using any abilities beyond the ones, Galadriel thought it necessary for her whole student act. Galadriel could not see the attack of All Might, so it amazed her.
"How fast can he be? Mm, I would like to see more," Galadriel thought, beaming with anticipation.
"Midoriya, listen to me… Between us, the only one capable of stoping All Might is me. That's why, I would give time for you to take Bakugo and run away."
"What are you saying?! It's All Might, it's too much! Even for you!" Midoriya replied.
"Listen to me, Bakugo, it's a stubborn idiot. He would rather lose than accept help, and you know it. But, in the future, when lives are at risk. This behavior of him would case problems not only for himself, but others. He needs to understand that alone, we are nothing."
"That's why I want you to listen to me, do what I am going to tell you, alright?"
Galadriel wanted to have a few minutes alone with All Might. She wanted to see his power closely. Away from prying eyes, that's why she wanted to push them away. However, whatever she was planning on doing was going to fail. Since Midoriya was not about to let her face All Might alone. Galadriel spoke about the team, but she wanted to face All Might alone.
Midoriya would not allow it.
"No! Let's take Bakugo and run!" Galadriel sighed, annoyed by the green-haired boy. Her plan was getting out of hand. And before she could say something back. The howling of Bakugo stopped her.
"Don't ignore me!" The scream of Bakugo again annoyed her. The crazy bomb hamster wail in anger, as he again jumped at All Might, amusing the top hero. Bakugo attacked with everything he had, explosion after explosion came right out of his hand. Only to be stopped by a powerful punch in the stomach from All Might. The sheer impact made Bakugo puke. There was so much pain running through his body.
Bakugo rolled on the ground, trying to get a hold of his own breath. He would not quit so easily. Bakugo would rather die than accept defeat. No matter what, he would never surrender.
"I get it… This is about Midoriya's incredible growth, right? You feel left out, behind. You're rushing to fast, young Bakugo. There is still room to grow!" The number one hero said, with a hope that Bakugo would listen.
"You need to rely in your teammates, in your friends!"
Bakugo slowly stood up, the willpower to show everyone he was the best. That he wanted to win and be the strongest of all of them. Kept Bakugo going, no matter the pain he was feeling.
"Zip it! If you're saying I gotta rely on their help… Then I'd rather lose!" The number one hero nodded, understanding him but at the same feeling disappointed. The young boy was still too young to understand that you couldn't always win on your own. There was always going to be someone stronger, faster, and smarter than you. All Might know it too well. The wound he suffered that day was a reminder of that. He hoped Bakugo would recognize it sooner, rather than later.
"So be it, as long you have no regrets!" Bakugo stared at the fist of All Might, ready for anything. But the moment he saw it coming, a slap on his face woke him up. It was hard, and it felt worse than the last one.
Galadriel then threw Bakugo away, as Midoriya grab him and raw away. The white-haired girl sneered in annoyance as she followed the boy. Cursing inwardly.
And it was just starting.
