Trust

Home - 04

Over the years, I took refuge in Shigaraki's home. His home was a gigantic laboratory, with countless rooms, one of them my bedroom. I don't know why this man helped me, why he would take interest in a wandering girl on the streets. But then, I finally found out why.

"Our aim, our intention is not evil. It is only seen as evil in the eyes of the pure. It is truly a wonder how the world classifies the same type of people under different categories. Heroes and villains." Shigaraki said. "But you have the power to change the hierarchy of this world, Kizaki Shimura. There's no such thing as good or evil. There is only those who are brave enough to oblige to the harsh conditions of being yourself. All of us here aren't villains, we just look for something much more than just this world as it is."

Shigaraki took me to see his master, the big brain behind this organization. 

All for one, he was called. Shigaraki explained to me all about his quirk. Stealing abilities, storing them, and amplifying them. 

"What does Shigaraki mean when he says I have the power to change this world?" I asked.

"Because, you are the completed one that will bring honour to us all." All for one replied simply. 

The completed one?

"You already have an excellent quirk capable of destruction beyond my imagination. You are much more capable than Shigaraki. That's why, of course. You are a proper vessel." He said.

Proper vessel?

"I believe... You are worthy to inherit my quirk, to continue this legacy of mine, to crumble everything with your own hands. It is a path you must take, Kizaki Shimura." He said. 

A path... I must take.

That's why, I trained so hard. That's why, I left everything behind. My friends. I had no where to go to. I didn't know what to do with my life anymore. So that's why... I complied to his rules.

"You have to oblige anyways, Kizaki Shimura. You don't want the last ones you love to be killed, do you?" All for one said.

I followed his gaze to the two photographs hanging on the wall. Todoroki...Nari... 

"How strong... Do I have to be?" I asked. It was the first time in years I felt tears running down my face... "I don't want to... See anyone go anymore." I clenched my fists. This emotion of mixed anger and sadness filled my empty heart. 

"Strong enough to withstand my power. You, young woman, are our greatest weapon." All for one said, a sly smile forming on his lips. 

"You will take the path of a hero to gain trust from the public. After, you will take the top and bring forward a new era. Kizaki Shimura, it is in your hands now." All for one said. 

"However... We cannot take risks. In order for you to be exposed to the most prestigious school for heroes, we must change everything in you now, including your memories. When you wake up again, you will not have any memories of this time period in which you spent training here. You will have a new identity, and a new family." All for one said. 

"Kizaki Shimura... Do you... Accept my power?" 

I saw my future that was written so clearly in front of me. Printed into a book that I just had to follow. So simple.

"I do."

"I followed all your instructions. She's now adopted by a couple with a son no older than twelve. The completed one now thinks that she had this quirk from birth, that she aspires to be a hero like her temporary grandmother and that she trained hard with her father and brother. Our organization has been completely erased from her memories, as well as her mother's and father's deaths, and anything in between. The couple will keep us informed on her so we will never lose track of her. And, of course, both parents are on our side. She has now been named Akira Jincaro." The scientist said. 

"Thank you. You are dismissed, Katagri." All for one waved his hand dismissively at the scientist. 

He grinned slyly at his screen. 

"Let's see, Kizaki Shimura. Let me see how well you do." 

At this point, he laughed, a long, hollow laugh. The completed one. The successful experiment weapon. The strongest vessel. 

"Let's see."

Kizaki/Akira's point of view

I woke up to the residual droplets from yesterday's unforgiving thunderstorm dripping outside my bedroom window. "Five minutes more!" I would have mumbled drowsily on any other normal day. However, today, I rejoiced and embraced the glare of the morning sun. Today, I would be embarking on my long-awaited journey. 

"7:06 a.m." my alarm clock said. I slid out of bed, putting on my dress shirt, red tie, skirt and leggings. Because I was feeling especially high today, I put on my dark blue earrings and headband. My earrings were the same shade of dark blue as my royal azure eyes, and my headband contrasted with my hair, a lighter hue than baby blue, almost white. 

"Mum! I'm going to my exam." I called out to my mother. My mother heard my voice and immediately came out of the kitchen. 

"Ah! Akira! Take this before you go!" My mother gave me two pieces of bread. She knew bread was my favourite breakfast meal, after all. 

"Try your best." My mother said warmly. I nodded my head and slipped on my shoes. I walked along the rutted path. My journey from my house to U.A. would take no longer than ten minutes.

I had short, light, baby blue hair, a light blue almost the colour of white. My hair ended in light curls at the base of my neck. My hair contrasted with my eyes, because they were both blue, but were very different shades. My eyes were the colour of royal azure, a deep, dark blue. I would always remember to wear my headband and earrings everywhere I went. They were gifts from my late grandmother, so I treasured them a lot.

 I would be taking my entrance examination for U.A. High today. I had trained hard for it for the past few months, so I wasn't going to let such a golden opportunity slip out of my grasp. 

I finally reached the school building. Today, there were lots of people gathered here to take the examination. 

Sorry, but the harsh truth is that only a small fraction of you guys will make it. That fraction, of course, including me.

(A/N): Kizaki is called Akira now. You guys like the name??

Thank you for reading!!
