I stared at the man in front of me. He was likely hoping for me to fly into a rage and attack him, leaving myself open. Even if I did attack him, he wouldn't be able to react in time to counter me.
"So... That's your plan? I was wondering why you were so confident in yourself." I said through gritted teeth. Restraining myself is a bit hard, but if I could find out where Rumi is then I can rescue her quickly.
"If you attack me or try to stop me in any capacity... I will give you an option 'hero'. You will either choose to save the one you love... Or the people you are protecting right now." He said with a devious smile on his face.
I guess I can't really react in any other way now. I was curious about where his confidence came from, but it seems he just thinks he's invincible.
Him attacking Rumi is something he will die for, but now he's also using her as a bargaining chip. Which is just insulting to her as a hero.
It also seems that he has taken her quirk away. Something I don't want to think about right now...
"Thirty seconds... That's all the time you have left to choose. I will attack the students after that. If you intercept me then the person you love most will die!"
He looked so smug while explaining his 'master plan'. Too bad he's nothing but a wrinkly old fuck desperately clinging to his life.
He said he'd wait thirty seconds. Well, all I need is three.
I disappeared in the eyes of the students and the villain. In one second, I circled the country of Japan about 7 times. My perception covering the maximum range I could handle without fainting.
The amount of information entering my head was hard to imagine. It was hard to filter it out. Having a body certainly isn't fun sometimes.
I found Rumi eventually, she was in a random warehouse on the other side of the country. She was still unconscious, her injuries were heavy, but not life-threatening. All for One took care that she wouldn't die so he could use her as a captive.
I the same warehouse, there was two other people. One of them was a reporter that used to be a leader of the Meta Liberation army. Her quirk should be something to do with explosions, can't really remember every detail about her.
She did appear in some of the worlds I observed during my time in the starfield. That's the only reason I still know some of the people around in this world.
Although, I didn't really bother remembering just about everybody. Like the person that was by her side.
He was quite tall, with well-defined muscles. His costume isn't really that reminiscing of a villain's.
He was wearing a purple, skin-tight bodysuit with black arrow-like markings across his chest, around his waist, and down the centre of his thighs. It was a weird costume. He was also wearing a small cape.
I didn't really have time to waste on either of them. I just smashed them into the ground and encased Rumi in a ball of light. I placed All for One's subordinates in front of the camera and melted them together.
I then quickly took off, flying away with Rumi to the nearest hospital.
As much as I want to stay with her. I still needed to run back and kill All for One. Not even three seconds have passed, but he should've realised that I was up to something.
And would you look at that. I was right. When I arrived he was just about to release an air cannon towards the tired students and teachers. They had little ways to dodge that attack.
Me appearing in front of it was not a difficult task. Putting up a giant barrier was also instant. His plan apparently relied on me being a lot slower than I actually am.
He looked at me with a bit of frustration. I guess he hasn't realised just how grave the situation is for him.
"Is that it old guy? Did you have enough fun yet?" I said in a simple tone. Although I didn't put much of an effort into hiding the anger in my expression.
He had the gall to snort in my direction. "It seems that getting rid of you will be a bit harder. You even gave up on your loved ones..." His face showed scorn, I'll let him finish speaking before wiping that smugness off of his face.
"Say, how does it feel? Knowing that the person you love most is dying and you cannot do anything about it?" His smile was really demented. He's likely under the impression that he will still be able to escape regardless of what happens.
Either relying on Kurogiri's Warp Gate or on his other teleportation quirks. Otherwise, he wouldn't even try to pull off this stunt. He's trying to make me suffer as payback for me humiliating and killing him on live television.
He seemed to be waiting for an anguished response from me. But I just smiled. "Why don't you try looking at that live feed for a second time?"
He looked confused for a second. But that confusion instantly turned into panic. He probably wasn't expecting this type of outcome.
"This can't be... You can even warp?" His confusion wasn't gone completely it seems. Although I could see him preparing to warp away.
I appeared in front of him. Not giving him any time to react. Spikes started coming out of my body, easily impaling him.
But that wasn't all. I used that second of shock to grab him by the neck and throw him in the air. The spikes remained lodged in his body, not giving him the opportunity to heal properly.
"I hope you weren't expecting to leave this place alive..." I said in a dark tone. I don't really care whether or not I look like a hero in front of the students anymore. He is going to die. This wasn't debatable.
It's impossible to make him give Rumi her quirk back. Asking that would just make him try to use it against me.
I'll have to ask scientists to make a proper copy of his DNA after his death. I'll try to tell them as much as I know of Kyudai's methods.
It's a sorry attempt at giving Rumi her quirk back, but it's all I've got now.
He seemed to have given up on simply escaping. He stopped in midair and faced me. He looked quite angry, but that little frustration he's feeling is only the beginning.
His fingers turned black and extended in my direction. I just appeared above him, both of his hands fell off, cleanly cut off by the light around them.
I also punched him into the ground, not using much of my speed in the attack. But it was still enough to form a small crater and raise a cloud of dust around him.
I could hear him laugh a bit. "It seems that I am physically stronger than you... My stamina is also much bett-" He was about to continue. But I wasn't planning on listening to his bullcrap.
"Shut up! I'm really not interested in this conversation." He scowled a bit.
"But... Are you sure you are stronger than me?" I asked him in a straightforward manner.
"Hmph, it seems you aren't that perceptive. In a head-on confrontation, I would overpower you easily." He was trying to wind me up, hoping that I would start fighting like All Might.
Well, if that's what he wants.
"Speed is weight!"
I appeared in front of him. Raising my leg to the side.
"Have you ever experienced light-speed kick?" I said with a lazy smile. I replaced my leg with a light construct. I brought my 'leg' into his face at the greatest speed I could.
He was sent flying off. Almost turning into a laser himself. I could see that his head was completely caved in. But he won't die just from that. I'll let him recover a bit.
After all, I've only just begun.
