A Deadly Feast

The Feast Begins

The sweet aroma of flesh drifted through the air. It's the first time, in along time, I've smelt something so good. I can't wait to eat. I started towards the smell and readied myself for combat. The smell lead me towards the center of a park that seemed barren. Standing in front of the lake was a man dragging the bloody body of a young lady. That lady had a sweet enticing scent. One that drove my hunger to new heights. The man pulled at the body and hefted it onto his shoulders. From behind him, I bit into his shoulder. He jolted away and dropped the body. In a fruitless effort, he grabbed at his shoulder trying to stop the bleeding. In that time, I had swallowed the flesh and wiped at my mouth. He tastes ok, I guess. I lifted him up by his neck and snapped it. His body crumpled to the ground and allowed to feast on the other body uninhibited. Her flesh tasted just like home to me. The thoughts of what my life was only a month ago reminded me of what was to come. My hunger had grown stronger. I used to only eat every four years, and now I need to eat more. My hands shoveled flesh into my salivated mouth. Each bite better than the last. I had gone starving for so long that the flesh of a human remained enticing after the initial hunger subsided. I now understood how the ghouls once felt. This unstoppable hunger that forces me to feed on the weak. It feels so good.

Once finished with eating their bodies, I washed myself in the public bathroom. I had to break the door a couple times, but who cares. After cleaning my hands and mouth, I walked towards the city and to get ready for the UA entrance exam. I need to get into UA and disguise myself among humans. I can't try to be a lone wolf, I'll stand out. If I blend in with powerful people, I won't look too different. Once in town, I bought clothes with the money I took from the murderer I ate. Next I went to a bathhouse and washed myself. Finally to finish off the night, I slept on the ground of a park nearby my old house in Mustafu. The familiarity comforted the restless parts of my mind. Throughout the night my dreams would make me. Each one bloodier than the last. Every dream was me being tortured endlessly. It took multiple tries to fall asleep long enough to feel refreshed.

In the week wait until the Entrance exams, I took a job at a local coffee shop. It's a mutual benefit, seeing as regular human food is disgusting now. Well.... except for coffee. Coffee tastes pretty freaking awesome now. At the shop, Anteiku, one of my coworkers is a girl trying to get into UA as well. Her name is Touka and she is kick ass. When the exams came, I aced the written portion and readied for the practical exam. The robots were easy enough to beat. I didn't have any trouble. Especially since, I didn't want to use my Kagune. My Kagune costs too much energy and hunger. Going into mindless hunger would not help in public. I beat down the robots and helped a couple other examinees when they were in trouble. The highlight I guess was saving some gravity girl from being crushed by a massive robot. She seemed to excited and started rambling on to me. As per usual, I coldly brushed her off.

Days later, I received two letters at Anteiku. UA had sent me two separate letters. Touka kicked the door to the break room open and strutted in. She flashed me a smug smile "Sup idiot, you flunk or not. I crushed that stupid exam. Hero course better prepare to get their ass kicked." She brushed at the imaginary dirt on her shoulders. I waved her off and opened the first letter. A small projector came out and nedzu appeared "Hello Izuku Kaneki. It's great to see you once again. It's plain and simple, you aced both exams. You got the highest written score in a decade and aced the practical exam. Simply put, you are going to be a great edition to the UA Hero course. I attached a separate letter that should be read in private. Thank you and see you on campus, Mr. Kaneki." The footage cut out and left a dumbfounded Touka staring at the back of my head. I wiped at my shoulders and twisted around. With a smug smile I replied "Eh, Touka. What was that you said? I think the hero course needs to prepare for me." She blew out a breath and trudged out of the room muttering under her breath. When the silence settled, I opened the second letter.

Dear Izuku Midoriya,
I'm glass to see you are doing well. I am aware of your recently solved problem and scary past. I understand what it feels like to be treated like an experiment and I am willing to help you through a road of recovery.Psh I don't need recovery. Stupid hero complex. You can't help someone who doesn't need help. I have arranged a dorm on campus specifically for you. It will have its own appliances and bathroom. Bring whatever you need and please show up before the first day of school. We wish you the best at UA.

Sincerely The Principal of UA
Nedzu.
