I had to do it again, I just had to.
âArenât you excited Iida-kun?â Ochako said, pumping her fists. âThe sports festival is tomorrow!â Ochako said, bouncing a bit with each step she took.
Ever since Aizawa-sensei told them about the festival, she couldnât help but feel excited about it. She even got some extra training into her schedule in hopes of helping her get better with her Quirk. After all, sheâs not only against those in her class, but with the others in her grade.
âAah-yes! Iâll give my best!â Iida said, chopping the air with his hands. Ochako giggled at his habit. Iida had also been pretty excited about the festival as well. As he said earlier in class, this was the perfect time to show off their Quirks. After all, many Pro Heroes come to the festival in hopes of finding new recruits and possible sidekicks for the future. Iidaâs main goal, however, was to show off how much he has grown to his brother who had promised to watch the tournament.
The two keep walking together, talking about the festival tomorrow. However, the two didnât notice the lone figure that was up ahead, sitting on the road railings.
âAmazing! UA students!â The figure said, making Ochako and Iida stop in their tracks. Were they that indulged into their conversation? Iida stood in front of Ochako. Why was he sensing something off about this person? âSorry to frighten you! Itâs just that I recognized that uniform you guys are wearing. You are from U.A, arenât ya? You know, where you train to become a Hero?â The figure said. Iida scanned the guy that looked around their age. Then again, it might be a youth Quirk.
Green curly hair with black highlights, round green eyes, small freckles and wearing an all black outfit. Or at least most of it was black. A small portion of his gray shirt popped from under his black hoodie and the boy was wearing a small white bag. But the thing that was bothering Iida the most has the notebook labeled No.13.
âYes! I guess U.A is pretty popular huh?â Ochako said, walking in front of Iida to get a better look at the boy.
âI think youâre the more popular one.â The boy said, slouching a bit, maintaining his eyes on Ochako. Iida wanted to pull her back, but something told him not to. What was this feeling?
âHuh?â Ochako said, looking at the boy in curiosity.
âIâve heard a lot about you through the sports festival. Arenât you nervous?â The boy asked Ochako, who gave him a huge smile. Iida tightened his grasp on his school bag strap.
When did the announcements of the U.A Sports Festival talk about the students? Usually the public wouldnât know of the studentsâ names until the day of the festival. Maybe things have changed?
âNervous?! Weâre excited! Ready to kick and aim for the top!â Ochako said, making small fists with her hands. âIâm Ochako, U.Aâs student and future top Hero!â
âOhoho! Uravity, I take it?â The boy said, his eyes turning into an emerald shade.
âY-yes!â Ochako confirmed, a small blush adorning her face from the sudden attention. Â Iida pursed his lips.
How did he know her Hero name? They didnât even come up with their names yet. The only one who knew about it was those in the class.
âNice Quirk by the way.â The boy said, making Ochako more flustered.
âUah! I-Itâs not a big deal.â Ochako said, ruffling the back of her head. Iida felt something surround him, suffocating him. They had to go. After all, Ochako never mentioned anything about her Quirk.
âUraraka-san, w-we have classes!â Iida said, earning a small glare from the boy.
âRelax!â Ochako said, placing her hands together happily. âAizawa-sensei is always late anyways!â Iida realized what just happened. Ochako had let her guard down. She was even sitting pretty close to this guys they had just met moments ago.
âIida, right?â The boy said, a shiver ran down Iidaâs spine.
âOh yes, sorry. I never introduced myself. Iâm Tenya, Iida Tenya.â Iida said hesitantly.
âIida, Tenya⊠you know,â the boy said, eyeing Iida. âYou have an incredible Quirk. Kind of reminds me of Ingeniumâs.â Iida couldnât help but notice the atmosphere get a little heavier and filled with a tint of pity.
âThanks, although it isnât unexpected, since heâs my older brother, Tensei.â Iida filled in, quickly asking himself why he bothered with giving the guy that piece of information.
âYour brother? Awesome!â The boy said. Iida couldnât help but hear a bit of false sense of surprise in his voice. âI always wanted to meet a professional Hero like him.â The boy said, clutching the notebook in his hand. âIt would be thrilling to have his autograph.â The boy looked at his book, a smile plastered onto his face. âAlthough to be honest, I wouldnât have the courage to ask him.â
With that the sound of a bell rang in the distance, making Ochako and Iida snap from their conversation. They were late for class. The two hurried off, leaving the boy behind. Soon, a dark purple warp appeared, the boy slipping into it.
âWelcome back. Got to warn him?â A purple mist told the boy, who was busy filling a small glass cup with some juice. He then handed it into the boy. The boy drank the juice, slamming the glass into his hand.
âCourse I did! Who do you take me for?â The boy said with a grin, the mist knowing all to well that to masked the murderous intent within the boy.
âSo I take it youâre going to accompany Stain?â
âOf course! After all,â the boy showed the mist being his notebook with the name Ingenium on a page.
âI need to get more information about Ingenium!â
âARGH!â Ingenium groaned out in pain, collapsing onto the floor, his vision blurring. All in his slight was the red surrounding him and the two figures in front of him. He knew that the one to his left belonged to Stain, the Hero killer.
But he didnât think the boy to his right was a part of the Villain Alliance. He mistook him for another fan who said he also went to the same school as Tenya.
âHero. You donât have the right to call yourself that.â Stain said as he twisted his blade into Tenseiâs leg. âYouâre nothing but fake.â Stain said, taking his blade out. âHey kid, you got the notes you wanted from this?â Stain said, stabbing the back of Ingenium. The boy nodded as he quietly wrote in his notes.
âToo bad I couldnât ask him for his autograph.â The boy said before smiling madly. âThen again, I guess I can ask the next Ingenium for his instead.â
