Chapter 9

Even more days had gone by, and those days turned into weeks. They've gained a few more new people into the league. For example, there's Spinner who hasn't really talked to me though, a guy named Twice. He has a split personality, and he's really nice. I like him. And lastly, there's someone called Magne. She's really nice, actually.

Since last time when Shigaraki released my cuffs and we played video games, it actually happened more often. We played video games again, and he started to release my cuffs without warning me to kill me. But I always see it in his eyes; he would do it without hestiation. I've also got new clothes; if you believe it or not, they were nice enough to buy me clothes.

I was like always sitting on the couch when Shigaraki again explained a new mission. I couldn't do much while being stuck here, so I was actually allowed to listen. "Our goal is Katsuki Bakugo," he said and pointed to the TV screen with Bakugo on there. "Wow, I really don't get why you want that angry boy." I mumbled and listened to the rest of the plan.

After they finished the explanation of the plan, Kurigiri already sent them into the battlefield. Shigaraki, Kurigiri, and I of course stayed back. Shigaraki has put down his hand, and I now see him for the first time ever without. "Will they really be alright all by themselves?" Kurigiri asked as he cleaned the glass. "Yeah." Shigaraki just answered. "It's not my turn to be on stage right now. They're enough by themselves. In other words, the game has changed. Until now, it was a role-play game where we had all equipment but challenged the last boss while still at level 1. I would've thought of it as a simulation game. I should be the player, using all the pieces I can to break through higher ranks. In order to do that, I need to first put craces into the superhuman society. The vanguard action squad of the league of villains. It doesn't matter if those guys succeed or fail. Just the fact that they're there will scare the heroes." He said, and I still examined his face. "But, is that really everything?" I asked, and he turned to look at me. "huh?" "I mean, you just use them, and when you don't need them, toss them aside?" I asked him. "They're just for my personal use." He then said, and I frowned. "We're enemies, and I'm absolutely not allowed to say that as a hero... but as a human... I've known them for a few days now, and even though they're somethimes a little weird, they're nice and caring. You can't fool me " I told him as I thought about the last few weeks. He then suddenly started scratching his throat again. "Shiga..." I said, and he came to a sudden stop.

He only looked at me without saying a word but stopped scratching himself. "Just from human to human. Think about it." I told him, but he didn't answer after that. I then sat on the couch and waited, just waited... Shigaraki kept quiet. And finally it was time. Kurigiri made a portal, and there was first Spinner, Magne, then Toga, Twice, and Compress, and in the end, Dabi entered the bar with him and brought Bakugo. "Kurigiri, cuffs." Shigaraki said.

"Uh, Tomura Shigaraki, we don't have more cuffs than just this pair." Kurigiri said and motioned for my cuffs.

All eyes landed on me, and it was silent for a moment. I looked at Bakugo, and when he saw me, his eyes widen. "Will you lock him up now!?" Dabi asked annoyed, and Shigaraki walked up to me, taking the cuffs away from me. He walked up to Bakugo, and now I was free. I haven't had any cuffs now. Bakugo looked at me for a moment, then I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see Dabi. "Don't try anything. Come on." He said and guided me out of the room, back to my room.

-next morning-

With Dabi next to me, to hold me back from doing anything, we now watched the news about Bakugo being kidnapped. "We must conclude that there is some sort of problem with the management of the UA High. Even if my child wanted to become a hero, I could not possibly enroll-" Shigaraki turned off the TV and looked at Bakugo. "Hehe, I'm really grateful for all the publicity we've been getting. Hey, don't you agree? Bakugo, Katsuki? It's so strange. Why are the heroes being criticized? The way they were dealing with things was just a little off the mark. Is it because it's their job to protect? Everyone makes a mistake or two. Are they supposed to be perfect? Modern-day heroes are so upthight. Don't you think? Bakugo?" Shigaraki asked, and Bakugo held a straight expression.

"Once heroes receive compensation to protect people, they aren't heroes anymore. That's Stains teaching." Spinner said. "The strange system of transforming people's lives into money or glory, the society that sticks to those rules... The citizens who blame the losers rather than encourage them... Our fight is to question: What is a hero? What is justice? Is society truly just? We'll have everyone thinking about it. We're planning on winning. You like winning to, right?" Shigaraki told Bakugo. Basically, almost the same they told me a month ago. "Dabi, release his restraints." Shigaraki then ordered him. "Huh? This guy's going to fight, you know." Dabi said. "It's fine. We need to treat him like an equal. since we're scouting him. Besides, you can tell if you'll win or not if you fight in this situation, right, U.A. student?" Shigaraki asked, and I gulped hard.

"Twice free him," Dabi ordered. "What me? No way!" Twice said. "Do it." Dabi ordered him again. "Man..." he said, but then did as he was told. "I do apologize for using such forceful methods. But please understand that we are not just a mob trying to commit crimes. We didn't kidnap you by accident, you know?" Copress said as Twice was uncoffing him. "Even though our situations differ, everyone here has been restricted and suffered. Because of people, rules, and heroes. I'm sure you also-" He started, but Bakugo then suddenly charged right at him when he was free. Shigaraki's hand fell to the ground, and the room fell silent. "I listened to your endless talking... Idiots can't get to the point, so they're always talking for a long time. Basically, you mean, 'We want to harass people, so please join us,' right?" Bakugo asked. "I want to win like All Might. No matter what anyone says, that will never change!" He yelled, and I saw pure horror on Shigaraki's face. Shigaraki took the hand and put it back onto his face.

"Master, lend me your power." Shigaraki suddenly mumbled.

"A master? I thought you were the boss around here. But you're a sidekick. If you want me to listen, then get on your knees and beg!" Bakugo yelled at us. "Kurigiri, Compress. Make him go to sleep again." Shigaraki orderde. "I can't believe he's such a bad listener. I'm almost impressed." Mr. Compress said as he approached Bakugo.

"Come on! Redhead, we'll fight together!" Bakugo yelled and looked at me. I looked at the league and then my hand. Everything was like in slow motion. I raised my hand and pointed it right at Shigaraki. We locked eyes for a moment, and then when I was about to blast fire right at him...

"I can't...I can't fight them...."
