It's still one month to the Hero Billboard Chart JP event held with all the top heroes present.
......................
In a dark room illuminated by a single window, you could see what seems to be a middle-aged man with short white hair and luminous red eyes that are illuminating the darkness in the room.
He has solid and imposing features. However, you couldn't see his entire face because the shadows of the room hid it.
(Picture)
He watched at a screen that is showing a woman fighting some Villains. She had white hair and big Rabbit ears.
Fighting the Villain in High Speed, defeating everyone in a matter of seconds.
All for One POV
"Interesting. That would be a good quirk for my collection. The new Number two, huh."
"I knew you would be interested. I already have the information of her location, so if you want to, you can visit her."
Said an older man with short stature. He is completely bald and has a huge, bushy mustache. He also wears some peculiar googles.
(Picture)
"Alright," I said and stood up.
I got the information from Kyudai Garaki, my follower. He is an eccentric and deranged scientist that is extremely intelligent and useful to me.
I gave him a quirk called Life Force to make his lifespan longer but got his physical mobility restricted as a side effect.
He is my oldest follower and a good pawn for my goals to get the quirk One for All that is currently in possession of All Might 'The Symbol of Peace'.
As I got the information, I took a new creation from Kyudai, a so-called Nomu.
He sees them as his children.
Pretty sick, but who I am to judge.
He is just a useful follower. He can be as weird as he wants to be.
The Nomu has a Warp quirk implanted from me.
With my quirk, it's possible to steal quirks and give them to others.
Of course, I can also use them myself.
I started to get out of the hideout and got a taxi to the mentioned forest where the Rabbit Hero was supposed to live.
The Warp quirk can only transport me to other persons, and I must be sufficiently acquainted with them. So it's just a fail save where I can move away from the Rabbit Hero if anything unexpected happens.
Some minutes later, I already stood in front of the forest and walked to the mentioned house in the scientist's report.
Nobody knows me, so I can just ring the bell and bullshit me out.
So I started to ring the bell at the One Family House and waited for somebody to open it.
I was already readying myself to attack.
But as the door got opened, I saw some shockingly handsome man in front of me looking at me like I was a bug.
That instantly got me angry. Who does he think I am?
As I wanted to attack, he said something shocking me out of my wits for some seconds.
"What the fuck is All for One doing at my house?" he asked, tilting his head in a questioning motion.
Huh. Does he know who I am? Let's check to be sure.
I used one of my quirks that could show the danger level of an individual standing in front of me.
There is Green for easy, Yellow for easy, but don't get your guard down, Orange for medium danger, and Red for danger. The highest that I saw is Orange for All Might. I know the Red color because the person that I stole the quirk from said I was Red.
What completely shocked me was the color of the existence in front of me had.
The color was pitch black. I never saw something like this before.
I felt despair for the first time in my long life.
When I watched this pitch-black aura, I was sure it would haunt me in my future dreams.
He just stood there and waited for an answer. I, of course, used my fail save and instantly vanished from this monster.
I swear, he looked at me like I was an insect that he could crush at any moment. Even when I warped away from this place, I could still feel the impending danger, as if even from this long-distance he could instantly crush me.
Now that I think about it, this aura is the same as on Nana that day.
It cannot be.
Was he the reason I couldn't go for her on that day?
My quirk screamed to me that I shouldn't touch her.
Now I know why my quirk screamed so hard at that day.
He is a complete monster.
A monster, not even me, can afford to offend.
Where does he come from?
Is he the reason for the Rabbit Heroes' rise in the last few years?
No wonder.
I can only hope never to encounter that guy again before I got strong enough.
I now must focus on my plan to fight All Might, so I should ignore them for now.
If I have One for All, I can probably fight him!
POV end
Even with his inflated ego, he the one named the most powerful villain in the history of Japan. At the same time, All Might's arch-nemesis is scared of Noah.
That was the first time that he gave up on something.
He never wanted to meet that monster again.
Deep in his heart, he even knew that his chances weren't that good even after obtaining One for All.
But at the same time, with his inflated ego from the past years of being a supervillain, he thought it would be okay.
That was complete bullshit.
But how would he know that?
......................
Noah POV
Well, I guess All for One wanted to go for Rumi's quirk? But what was with sweat-drenched face at the end? Why did he escape the instant he saw me for more than ten seconds?
Nah, who cares? He will die in the future, so who cares.
In the last month, I forbid Rumi to do her Hero work, which made her upset with me.
At the same time, she knew why I did that, so she wasn't mad that long.
We lived happily here in the house and sometimes went to some restaurants or strolled through the city while shopping.
Constantly gathering the attention of civilians and other heroes that looked at Rumi with respect and at me with curiosity.
There were many Rumors about me in the news and on some fan sites.
But there was nothing confirmed.
The Usagiyama family often got questions about me in their interviews, but they never answered them.
Other Heroes were also asked about me in their interviews.
Until now, only four people are confirmed to know me, and every one of them just said one sentence as they got asked about me.
'He is a monster.'
The four heroes were Aya, Nana, and the two young master's fathers.
Of course, they were asked to specify their statement but ignored it.
So the Rumors of the mysterious husband of Rumi are never-ending.
Since Rumi wasn't active for more than a month, the Rumors about her also got more extensive, and some even said she was injured.
What was complete nonsense because some saw her go shopping with me.
Everywhere we go, some people want to take pictures with Rumi.
The thing that puzzled me was that people even asked me to take a picture with them.
And it was actually more often than with Rumi.
Most of them were girls, and I often got an angry look from Rumi.
I gave everyone that asked a picture with me.
All of them blushing on the picture because the distance to me was too short.
In the end, all of them looked at Rumi with envy what got her completely irritated.
Another interesting thing happened when a little girl, estimated to be nine years old, came to Rumi and me.
The only thing you could see was a green t-shirt and blue pants flying to us.
At the bottom, you could also see some shoes and socks.
We instantly knew who she was.
Toru Hagakure of the future class 1-A with the quirk of invisibility.
"Mirko. I am a big fan of yours could we take a picture together? And if possible, you too. The husband of the number two hero must also be a powerful person!" She said enthusiastically.
"Alright. Make it fast," said Rumi, like always blunt.
She didn't want to be mean to little kids, so she always tries her best to be friendly in front of her little fans, but all of the time, she fails miserably.
"Thanks!!" She said as she got between us as Rumi leaned down and I got to my knees so that we would be seen in the picture.
As she wanted to make the picture, I released some power and uncovered her invisible body.
You could see a small girl with cute short brown hair and peerless white skin that could almost reach my level. She was adorable.
"Huh?" said Rumi and Toru at the same time.
Since she froze, I got to her smartphone and pushed the button to take the picture.
After that, I took Rumi at her hand and said to the girl while waving at her.
"It was a nice meeting Toru. Hopefully, we see each other again in the future." I said to the shocked girl while walking away.
The girl got invisible again as I walked away, but she still had not gotten out of her shock.
She never saw her own face, and now she even has a picture of herself with her favorite hero with her actual face on display.
There were even some tears escaping her eyes out of pure joy.
After that, she thought about Rumi's husband and wondered how strong he must be to do something like that so casually.
At the same time, I just thought that it was nice to meet her.
