the smile behind the mask

ch.4 a puzzle

3rd pov

"Hello Japan! I hope everyone missed me since for a week I gave the heroes to prepare themselves to my game!" As it was showing the same masked villain, all of the heroes were in edge in that moment as the villain was on every jumbotron in Japan.

The villain snapped his finger and the other screen showed the meeting room and all the heroes with nezu, the villain said in a childish manner "oh~ I am sorry that I interfere your little discussion, but as you know, evil never sleep, or was it justice? But how should I know? After all, I am not an imposter playing the role of some hero, am I wrong, principle nezu?" His voice was full of sarcasm and hidden meaning.

Nezu asked seriously "what's your game?" The villain was silent for a while and said "you're no fun today, something got you in edg?" Nezu said "it's non of your business, say what do you want? And make it quick" every hero were surprised that nezu is....mad, as he was the most cooled head one they knew.

The villain chuckled and said "fine, fine, I am here to give a hint or a clue to who I am, do you want to hear it, nezu~?" By his voice, it seemed like he was enjoying it, Japan was surprised that a villain is willing to give his identity so easily, as the heroes were surprised, nezu said "and how should we know that you aren't lying to us?".

The villain said "because you don't have any other options" even if he wore a mask, you could feel the big smile he's making, nezu thought about it and said "fine, what's your game?" The villain said "it's easy, it's only puzzle, here I go, I am the symbol of nature, I am the symbol of death, I am the one who tell people to go, and in east Asia, I am the symbol of the preciousness, in west, I am the symbol of rareness, who am I? You have 5 hours to arrest someone, if I didn't showed up, you got it right, if I showed up, you're wrong, but if you didn't arrest anyone, who knows where will the fireworks will start, see ya!".

When the connection was cut, the hero didn't know what to do or think as the whole Japan didn't know either, when the jumbotrons when off and the heroes was cut off too, nezu said "we have to think quickly, we need to find who he's, and someone call the detective naomasa to come here right now!!" As they all started to find the answer to the puzzle and calling the detective.

While they were searching for an answer, nezu watched the video again, searching for something, aizawa went to him and asked "what do you have in mind? You were watching this video many times and you still watching it, what gives" nezu said "for some reason, I feel like I heard the way of talking before".

Aizawa said "well, I had the feeling too, and I know when I heard it" nezu looked at him and asked "when was it?" Aizawa scratched his head and said to him quietly to not let anyone else hear about it "when we talked to the library assistant" nezu asked "what? No no, he can't be, he's-" aizawa said "powerless? I know, but think about it, that villain never showed his face, his quirk, even his true voice that's always changed it by voice changer, the kid is the same, even if he's quirkless, he never showed his physical power, when we went there for the first time, I didn't feel his presence and he even knew who I was".

When nezu was about to argue, they hawks saying "hey! I think I got something" as all of them looked at him, he continued "the symbol of nature is tree, but not only a tree, a green tree, and the symbol of death is skull and bones, but if it's in a radioactive death which mostly is for nuclear weapons, it's always the symbol of green uranium, and when he said he's who tell people to go, he meant the green traffic light that tell the cars to go, and the green light to tell people to cross the roads, but I don't know about the the preciousness and rareness".

AM facepalmed with most of the heroes, as present mic said "I don't think that's the answer" aizawa said "I am with you" as present mic said "see?" But aizawa said "I don't mean you, I mean hawks, because I already got what he meant by preciousness and rareness, here, look at that, as he went to the computer and showed to them, as he said "in east of Asia, which is us, Chinese and Korean, in old China, Jade was one of the precious stones in that time, and for rareness, in west countries, green diamond count as the most rarest diamond in there, so I think hawks is right, they all have the same relation, they all have the colour green".
