Third Person

Shigaraki slams his hand on the bar with a scowl etched on his face.

"You WHAT!?" He growls at the lackey.

The low-level villain cowers from Tomura's anger.

"W-we searched the entire forest. There's no sign of them." He repeats the report, his voice trembling slightly.

Tomura stands, grabbing the man's neck with four fingers.

"You must not have searched hard enough then!" He exclaims, "Maybe I should get rid of you for your incompetence."

Tomura's finger inches closer to the man's neck as he whimpers and begs for forgiveness.

As he's about to place the fifth finger on the lackey's skin, the sound of the television turning on stops him.

"What's made you so upset Tomura?"

"Sensei!" Shigaraki turns to the TV, surprised.

"Well?" The man asks again.

Tomura scowls, "These people are useless! They couldn't find the brats!"

"I see, and why is that?"

Before Tomura can continue, the goon cuts him off.

"We got the wrong information! There was no one there."

"Don't interrupt me!"

"Tomura," The man-child is stopped once more from ending the lackey's life, "It is possible that the tip you received was false."

"But how?! I got the schedule myself." Shigaraki says in annoyance.

AFO falls silent in thought.

'Why would they falsify the schedule? They couldn't have known Tomura would...unless...'

Suddenly, the villain remembers something. That feeling he got many months ago. He thought he had just imagined it but why else would they change their mind like this. He decides to keep this theory to himself. He doesn't have enough proof..yet.

"They could have one thing differently for the sake of safety." He offers to his students.

Tomura grumbles in agreement and lets the goon go. The villain flees immediately, just in case his boss may change his mind.

The man-child growls in frustration, "So how am I supposed to find them then?"

"That girl...the one you just recruited,"

"You mean Toga Himiko?" He asks.

"Yes, she can infiltrate UA as a teacher or student to gather information on where class 1-A really is."

The student looks at his sensei with astonishment, "That's perfect!"

"Oh and remember Tomura, I want Midoriya Izuku, alive."

"Of course Sensei," Shigaraki vows as the screen turns black.

All for One leans back in his chair as he laughs.

"Things are getting very interesting." He murmurs to himself.

In a forest, far away from the bar, Izuku shivers a bad feeling coming over him. He shakes his head focusing on the training.
