The Hero's Hymn

Chapter 21

<<Boss, I'm back.>> Seatiel closes the door of the local and walks in, greeted by an excited Toga, <<What an honor to be greeted by a little lady!>> he pats her head a few times, then suddenly grabs her hand and smiles amused, <<I saw your dagger even before I stepped in this room. Toga-chan, you need to be stealthier.>>

<<Huuuuuh? But you have those magical eyes! It's not fair!>>

<<I need to activate that, you know? It's off now. See?>> he bends down to let her see his mismatched eyes, <<If they illuminate like this...>> his irises are surrounded by a bright light, <<It means that the ability is on. I rarely use it, though.>> the light fades away and the man walks towards Kurogiri to ask something to drink.

<<How went your meeting?>> says Shigaraki, <<You did what I've told you?>>

<<Of course.>> the Ryuhi sits next to his new leader and takes the drink offered by the barman, <<You have more puppets to use, let's say... about 50. People nowadays are so easily to broke, it's not even funny. I can see their cracks as clearly as you light them up with a flame, so the meeting went more than well.>>

<<Well done. We have more chances to kill All Might now.>>

<<Boss.>> Seatiel drinks and plays with the ice in the glass, <<As I am your bodyguard, there's someone that protect this freakshow called All Might. But if you order it, I can kill both.>>

<<What are you trying to say?>> remarks Tomura angrily, <<That I can't do it without you?>>

<<Well, you failed once->> the conversation is stopped by a turned on screen, <<Oya?>>

<<If you have something to say, I will listen to you.>> a villainy voice fills the room, <<You seem to be a veteran about wars, I would like to hear your opinion about my previous plan.>>

Seatiel turns the chair to face the screen and speaks again, <<Let me say that the plan to attack the school was pretty lame. Why you guys take so long to kill just one person? It's ridiculous, especially for someone who has the power to steal things and make them his own.>>

<<Mph, such sharp eyes you have, mister.>> a laugh comes out from the speakers, <<Then? What you would do to kill the strongest hero?>>

<<Ah, YOU want to finish him, now I get it. Too easy to read master, it's not good for a leader, but I agree with your ideal; the king must stand upon everything.>> the warrior smirks and adds: <<Anyway, if All Might has the same power of your Noumu, I can kill him blindfolded, what comes in our way, is his guardian. Is on that person that your eyes must stay focused.>>

<<You speak as you know this guardian.>>

<<All Might's guardian is the Fallen Hero, Belial.>> he bites his thumb remembering the fight, <<That girl's strength is on a completely different level, you mere mortals can't even touch her. Just to let you know, the more this issue goes further, the more Belial gets stronger.>>

<<Mere mortals?>>

<<Yeah. We have the same quirk, and you can't even imagine what can I do with this godly powerhouse.>> he comments smiling evilly, <<In our previous fight she held back, I'm excited to see how strong she is, so... Belial is my prey, touch her and you'll have two gods against your little alliance.>>

<<I assume that you will take a good care of our new troublesome obstacle then.>> the boss laughs again and greets everyone: <<I will leave everything to you. Until that day, do your best to defend my pupil.>>
