"I told you not to hurt her, didn't I?" a shadow appeared behind a tree, making you grunt with a hint of annoyance.

Of course it's him, why wouldn't it-?

The girl tried to make a cute pout, "I said I'm sorry-! It was an accident, I swear." She exclaimed, fingers wiping the blood off her knife.

"So red..." She took a swift lick. "And sweet-! I knew it." She returned the gaze to you, shining you the 'brightest' smile you'll ever see.

"I can't wait to taste more!"

You shivered at her words, "I told you, I won't join." You gave the man a straightforward answer, hoping he would give up.

"They all say that at first." He looked unbothered by your refusal. "It's only a matter of time until they realize how twisted heroes really are. The length they'll go just for something stupid." He laughed.

You sighed at his dramatic tone, "You think I don't know that? I'm not stupid, okay?" Your hand putting pressure on the wounded arm holding the knife.

"I know how dark the world can be." You retorted grimly.

His lips morphed into a creepy grin, "Oh, I'm sure you do. All the insults and mockery thrown towards you, what was it again?" he slowly walked towards you.

"Everyone is just going to suffer with your quirk being so useless."

Your body became stiff as you heard the familiar sentence. "H-how...?"

He laughed at your speechless demeanor, the bastard was probably enjoying the situation. "Anything is possible with the proper resources."

"Please, just why are you doing this to me?" you hissed. You were getting tired of the ongoing threats and proposals.

"Why me of all people?"

You couldn't understand why he wanted to recruit you. Just what kind of talent do you possess that intrigued the league so much?

He didn't answer you, "Aren't you just tired of them looking down on you? Don't you just want to prove them wrong?"

"...shut up."

He didn't.

"You do, don't you? Can you really trust them? Those are just false impressions that they're giving you, would they be the same if they saw-

"I said SHUT UP-!" You swung the knife towards him, not letting him go near you. You saw the faint smile he wore as he looked at your trembling hand, you hated that.

"That...that won't happen, I won't let it happen. I'll just..."

"You'll just won't mess up?" He finished the sentence for you. "How long will it last? Humans are imperfect for a reason." He laughed at your excuse.
