the thinned version of all might sighed. his eyes shown the clear tiredness. "is he mocking us?"

he looked at his friend with a frown. his usual confident and unhesitant grin disappeared along with his strong aura. only a tired blonde was seen instead of the number one hero. "either way, bakugou katsuki might know something about him."

"why would he give up information like that if he were so secretive. is this a trap?" the blonde hero asked in frustration.

"i know he isn't lying," said the detective. "how ironic for you to say that, true man," replied toshinori with a frown. "that's not funny."

they sighed.

"just contact nezu. we need young bakugou."

"wouldn't make more sense for me to be asking you that. you are a teacher in yuuei," his friend replied to him. all might looked at him with realization, "oh, right."

he took out his phone and skimmed through his phone to find the contact he so desperately needed. finally, he pressed the call button and a satisfying sound of ringing was heard. he soon heard a greetings on the other line. "i need your help urgently, sir." he began to explain the situation to the principal of yuuei.

"i see. very interesting to say the least. before i do anything i would like to ask a favour as well." was the intelligent principal's response. all might swallowed.

oh, no.

"you ready?" asked tsukauchi with a worried expression. although, he might've found this amusing if not for the situation they were in. toshinori sighed once more, "as ready as I'll ever be."

'don't be so down. it will be quite fun.' he heard nezu's voice booming as the device was in his ear. nezu had taken an interest in something and he wanted to know more of it. this being the exact reason all might was attempting another interactions with this boy. the only difference being nezu guiding him through talking to him with the wireless earphone. or whatever you call this device in my ear. "it will be enjoyable to you only," mumbled all might. he turned into his bigger self and a confident grin appeared on his face.

on the outside of the interrogation room that all might was about to enter, there was tsukauchi and a teen. he looked at the image before him in anger, being the only emotion to go off with. truly, he was shocked and confused.

would he show that perplexed look to anyone? no! why would he show a sign of weakness to people he didn't know.

the save thing to do was to show anger. anger at his confusion. "what the- why is he there in a interrogation room. is he a criminal to you!" he exclaimed, eyebrows furrowed. "bakugou, he is a criminal," the said teen's face morphed into shock as the detective spoke, "the same league of villains that attacked your class. we found him in their hideout. he bluntly stated that he was part of it."

katsuki was quick to hide his shock with anger. "what!?"

tsukauchi frowned before looking at the said boy through the glass with a strict look. "judging by your reaction, you clearly know this boy. we brought you here to identify him."

no matter how he grasped this new information he couldn't quite grip on it. he was a villain. that was the same boy from his childhood, sitting their in custody...? the same age as himself. this was a messed up world, indeed. "how... did you know i was somehow related to his background?" he asked with a calm face. even at that, he had a scowl evident in his face. his tone was calm and eyes had shown conflict.

"we... managed to get your name out of him. his quite calm for a captive." he knew it wasn't the exact truth, but it would be embarrassing to admit they were forced to so as a villain said. "oh," was all he could respond with.

he was still trying to process what had gone on.

katsuki narrowed his sharp red eyes at his old friend. he had a calm smile on his face. hid composure calm and relaxed. carefree dare anyone say. "do you know his name? and if you can give additional information that would be helpful."

katsuki gritted his teeth. stupid, deku! your mom was worried sick!

"midoriya izuku."

he watched as midoriya's calm expression turn perplex.

toshinori sat down on the seat opposite of izuku. "a second visit from all might! now i'm blushing," commented a smiling izuku. his smile didn't look like that of a villain, but all might could see the analysing eyes of someone dangerous. that was what made the blonde cautious, other than that he wouldn't of suspected izuku at all.

"answer my questions," all might spoke strictly. his grin didn't falter. izuku tilted his head slightly down as his eyes stayed planted on all might. his smile widened in a unnerving way. "I wonder if your questions will be answered," he said. "you will have to answer."

izuku was rid of the unnerving smile and he smiled innocently once again. he chuckled, "calm down. i was kidding. well... mostly."

'mostly?'

"that meaning?"

"well," he said as he plopped a elbow on the table and a hand in his chin, "the thing about me and the villian league..."

'his giving information? no, it is something else. that would be too easy. I find this boy too cunning to do so.'

all might had to agree with that statement. "... i'm not necessarily buddy-buddy with the league of villains. i'm a observer, not exactly part of their group."

"are you trying to back out of your statement that you are a villain," all might said as his voice went deeper. "quick to jump to conclusions, all might." he chuckled, "no... i can't be a hero or a civilian at this stage. a villain is a nice label for someone like me."

What mind set is this? all might was perplexed at his words. 'all might, tell him to explain what he meant.' he heard nezu instruct. "explain."

"you see, i made a contract when i was acquainted to the league of villains. are rather a set of conditions when i would be there. this made my business and their business separate. they are not a part of my plans. in the same way, i wasn't a part of their plans such as the attack on your school. i'm a mere spectator," he said, he repeated his earlier action. Both of his palms were on either side of his cheek and elbows planted on the table.

as next heard this he couldn't help but feel curious. this boy was very promising, but wasted on a villains life. 'what were the conditions?'

"what were the conditions?"

"should i keep going? how curious of you all might."

all might seemed to break a sweat at the boy's comment. this boy was unnerving at times. he heard a innocent whole-hearted laugh from izuku. it almost made him flinch at how child-like innocent his laugh sounded.

"all right, i'll tell you."
