"Mischief Managed!"

— Harry Potter

Standing in front of Practice Building F, I was so excited on the inside that I was practically squirming and jumping in my head. I doubt that my excitement showed on my face as I displayed to the CCTV camera's a very poker face, one that I had perfected when I was still just a child. Maybe I had a secret sadistic nature that I hid from everyone, including myself because for some reason I couldn't wait to hurt my opponents. But I wasn't like Bakugo who was all bark and no bite. No, I was going to have a little fun before I'll take the win that was already mine from the start.

Of course, I know you're thinking that I have a bit of a villainous side to me and that I should just stop becoming a hero. But whatever, I'll do what I want and you do you, and continue reading this story because you're too invested in this story to stop. I don't view my future self as a complete hero, an angel in the crowd. I'm not a wolf in sheep's clothing. I view myself more as a gray character, someone who's in between good and evil. Because life without consequences would be too boring.

If I were to be a person who people view as a blinding light, someone who brings warmth to their hearts, then I'd be bored to death. Perhaps this tiny bit of evil was already attached to me when I was born, or maybe it was because of the surroundings I grew up with that I turned into the person I am now. For now, forget what you just read, let's just watch how things play out and just savor the moment because that's all we can do.

Looking up to the building towering over me, "Should I perhaps take my time in beating them or should I finish this as quickly as I can, just like Todo-kun~?" I pondered, "Well, I'm not him nor is he, me. Let's just make this interesting, shall we? Take our time and savor this battle, I am after all the last battle to play out. And I have yet to impress my lovely and darling classmates." I smirked and disapparate into the building after looking through the window and smiling at the trap that was made especially for me

Taking a casual stroll through the trap of purple balls that stuck to the floor, maneuvering my feet to expertly tread through the balls, it was as though I was dancing with how expertly, and elegantly I moved through the trap. If I move too fast then I'll have a hard time noticing the traps until I actually step into them and if I moved too slow then I'd run out of time. Using one of the most useful skills mum and my numerous tutors taught me since I was a child, ballroom dancing had never looked so easy. But in reality, I was nervous and anxious, one wrong step, and I'll become trapped in weird violet balls resulting in a direct loss, so I had to move carefully.

"Fuck it." I said out loud to myself and began to move a bit faster.

I wanted something to happen, it's too boring. Carefully passing through the trap was beginning to get boring. 'I wonder where those villains are or what their plan is? The girl with a weird-styled ponytail is the brains and brawns between both her and the pervert. You'd think she'd send in the pervert to battle me, taking advantage of the trap, though it doesn't seem to be the case... I'm starting to become bored and I was so excited at first...' I rolled my eyes at the situation.
