The scene of my classmates replayed in my head. Their laughing, mocking, telling me that I could never be a hero. I stared at Izuku Midoriya, my opponent in the sport's festival as he broke my mind control. What?! How?! I gasped. If he had just taken half of a step, I would have been closer to proving everyone wrong about me. When he broke free of my mind control I realized just how good of a hero he was going to be. It was disgusting. I had never been so envious... so... jealous of anything or anyone in my life. I went home that night and thought hard about myself. Then, it crossed my mind. What if I just became a villain? It is what everyone expected of me after all... Why should I try so hard to impress those who never even believed in me to begin with?
I snuck out of my home that night. I wasn't sure where I was going, but I had to leave. After hours of wandering, I came up to the edge of a forest and stumbled sleepily through patches of roots and foliage.
About another two or so hours later, I came up on a clearing, where an old warehouse was. Its tall, grey concrete walls offered shelter from animals and anything else that may be lurking in the forest, so I decided to head in.
"Who the hell are you?" A deep, husky voice asked when I walked in.
"What-" I replied, too tired to register this question.
"How did you find this place?" The voice asked again. This time, I found where the voice was coming from. A tall man with shaggy dark hair wearing a gas mask stood across from the entrance.
"I was just wandering around.. I didn't know anybody was here."
"What's your name, kid?"
"Shinsou Hitoshi."
The tall man paused for a moment. "You're one of those prissy little heroes-in-training, yeah? I saw you at the sports festival on tv."
"I don't go to UA any more. I'm done being a hero."
I could tell that the man had grinned under his gas mask. "Not a hero?Why's that?"
"People always said that I had a villain's quirk, so I'm tired of exhausting myself, trying to prove everyone wrong. I decided to become a villain to prove them right."
"My name is Arsine, you've most likely heard of me on the news."
"Arsine-? As in, leader of the Arsonists?" I asked.
"Correct. You're standing in our base."
My eyes widened and I suddenly wasn't tired any more. I could feel my heart quicken as I recalled all of the horrible things the Arsonists had done. They were one of Japan's most dangerous crime leagues, wanted for mass murder, terrorism, destruction of property, and, as their name implies; arson. "I-I'm sorry..-" I stuttered, backing away from Arsine.
"Don't be, kid. You could be valuable to us." He said, taking a step towards me.
Part of me wanted to run back home and get as far away from here as possible, while another part of me wanted to stay. I wanted to see what this league had to offer.
