BNHA: Martial Arts God

ARC 2 PROLOGUE

A/N:

Last chapter of the week! And the scheduling is back to 3 chapters a week now. I'll see you guys on the 30th, peace!

"The World's Martial Arts Tournament is in a month, so what're you still doing?"

Kenichi asks with a flabbergasted voice as he looks at the state of the living room upon visiting Gohru. There was food everywhere from junk food like chips to instant ramen bowls on the floor and on the coffee table.

And on the couch were four people resting, three were slamming on their controllers while another was resting on one's lap.

"Light Spirit 4 just came out, and we're trying to clear it, duh?"

A sarcastic voice rang from the couch as the camera pans toward the owner of the voice.

The owner was a man around age 20, who had white hair with a faded haircut. There were multiple burn scars on his face, especially the area under his eyes and his jaw. The man wore baggy clothing, a loose t-shirt along with camo shorts, and was quite muscular with bandages all over his visible arms and legs.

This was Todoroki Toya, who shed his name a few years ago and now goes by the name "Dabi".

3 years ago, before meeting Toga Himiko...

"So did you find him, Giran?"

Gohru asks on the phone as an elderly voice snarks. This was Giran, one of Japan's most influential info breakers that you can find.

"Yeah, yeah. I found the fucking guy. Was so fucking hard to find him..."

"Good. I'll meet you later at 10?"

"Whatever kid. As long as you pay me."

The call cuts as Gohru leans on his couch in the living room, sighing.

'Still, I'm surprised Giran found him.'

He had little past life memories remaining due to them stagnating in his mind. He had already forgotten most of the faces and names of his previous friends and family, only remembering facts and fragments of his memories.

He didn't even really remember most of the plot of BNHA at all now. People may ask, 'Why didn't you write it in a book or something?' That's because shit will go down the fan when someone finds out about it, especially All for One.

'What about putting it in your capsule then?' Same shit, they'll just steal the capsule, and when they learn how to open it, boom, he's dead. Exactly the reason why he was going to burn the manuals in four years' time, just before the main plot begins.

Well, to be fair, it's been almost 9 years since he reincarnated in this world and All for One hasn't been seen at all, so maybe he should have written the plot down, but the past was already in the past. Paranoia was a bitch.

Right now, he only remembers about 60-70% of the plot. He could remember up to the start of the training arc with the Wild Pussy Cats, that was it.

Anyways, in one of the fragmented memories, he could recall a friend of his whose name and face were already forgotten talking about some spoilers of BNHA. That guy really loved spoiling stuff to him, from the Demon Slayer manga to the new chapters of One Piece.

"Dude, you know bout Dabi's backstory? Shit's fucked upppppp!"

He wasn't someone who loved listening to spoilers, but since it was Dabi and he was cool at the time, he entertained his friend as he explained the backstory of Todoroki Touya.

And fucked up indeed. Endeavor really fucked up there. And after reading the background check of Touya from Step 0, he grimaced.

'Shit actually happened the same way. And the fact that he's out right now tells me that he escaped All for One's orphanage already.'

He now had two choices, recruit him and persuade him to kill Endeavor only instead of both him and Shoto, or kill him now so that fewer people die from him.

He wasn't some moral hero that tries to save everyone, but even he has a moral compass to save innocents that weren't related to the fight.

The decision was supposed to be a quick one. Kill one to save 10, kill 10 to save 100. That was the most logical move, but after recalling about his past, he just couldn't pull the trigger.

So he decided to meet with the guy and know him better first before he decides.

Reaching one of Giran's safehouses that he uses as a meeting place, he enters the hideout after going through multiple inspections, making sure that he wasn't armed with a weapon.

Upon opening the door, he was met with the old fucker Giran who was sitting at his usual spot along with a boy about 17 years of age with white hair and scars on his face standing behind the old coot's couch.

Gohru had to hold back his excitement and awe at his favorite Villain of BNHA.

"Been a while, Giran. Looks like your old ass is still kicking."

"Bah! Fuck off, kid."

They greeted each other kindly as he sits down opposite the two.

"Anyways, I found him, so pay up."

As cutthroat as ever. Placing the briefcase that he brought along on the coffee table between the two, Giran flips open the hatches before whistling upon opening the briefcase.

Notes of Yen were stacked perfectly inside the case, which equated to 100,000 Yen. Closing the case, he takes the case before standing up with his cane next to him.

"Alright, a deal was a deal. 10 minutes is all you have before I call the boys to fuck you off."

And with that, he limps away with the case, leaving him and Dabi alone in the living room.

"Sit, Dabi... I'd like to make a deal for you."

You know what they say... Keep your friends close...

And enemies closer.
