Shadow Healer

Chp 20

Chp 20

Staring at the seriously injured man in front of them, they find it very difficult to suppress their need, their sole desire to heal, to help others from manifesting into actions.

Given the chuckles from the old man, they think they know that too.

If it wasn't bothersome, they think they would pout and huff in annoyance... or maybe not, they don't honestly care but as a cat they refuse to let the irritating humans look down on them in any capacity.

"It is a pleasure to finally meet you Shadow Healer, you may call me All for one, or sensei if you prefer, I have heard a lot about you from Tomura and Kurogiri... as well as from other sources, you have caused quite the stir lately in both the villain and hero communities" the old man begins, notable amusement that even they can hear and understand in his voice, making them tilt their head curiously.

They caused a stir? They don't think they have done anything significant though?

Except maybe deciding to be a cat.

"Hah... I had heard you were a very oblivious and confused young man, but I hadn't realised just how much so, you don't realise the pure chaos you have brought to society by removing the pro hero Endeavours quirk, or your subsequent quirk upgrades and changes to the ones that followed" he states with a deep chuckle.

Blinking at that they slowly but surely, only now realise why villains and hero's have been bothering them lately, that... actually makes a lot of sense now that they think about it... not that they care.

More importantly though... they're a man? Or at least humans see them as a male?

Huh.. they should have realised this sooner in all honestly, given they are based off of their host but still... they aren't a male or female, they are a shadow.

Shadows don't have genders... so they aren't certain how to feel about being considered one... or if they even care.

"Why... see we?" They say, not bothering to say a proper sentence, the less words the better.

They think the man raises a brow, though they can't really tell given the scar tissue.

"We? How curious.... I would ask what you meant by that but I doubt you'll indulge in my curiosity" he is very perceptive for a guy with no eyes.

"Tell me Shadow healer... do you know what my quirk is?" He asks casually and they nod since they do indeed know what their quirk is, as well as every single other quirk he holds because of it.

"Ah I see... that at least confirms one of my suspicions" he says more to himself than to them, making them confused since what suspicions could someone have about them?

They are very simple minded and easily read despite their blank face, hardly anything suspicious about them.

"To be honest, I have many questions I wish to ask you, questions I doubt I will ever find or receive all the answers to" he sighs, though it's not a true one, it's more mocking and filled with amusement then any genuine pity at not getting what he wishes.

They can feel it pointedly since they have decided to read his shadow in case they need to move.

"Questions.... No requests" they can't help but ask, curious but also anxious since they really wanna heal him.

It's strange talking to someone with no face, despite knowing of many intelligent life forms that have no face, it's just after 7 years of seeing human faces and expressions it's weird to interact without it as a form of context.

Even knowing they barely understand them.

"Requests? I would be lying if I said I didn't, though none of those are something I believe you would agree to, given all I know of you... though I suppose you meant a request for healing did you not?" He chuckles somewhat darkly but they ignore that.
