Chereads / BNHA: Accelerator The Strongest Hero / Chapter 219 - Chapter 218: Intentions

Chapter 219 - Chapter 218: Intentions

The girl's name was Himiko Toga, a blonde, charming, and dangerously cute high schooler. 

She had been a potential criminal but was captured by Shokuhou Misaki's subordinates from Tokiwadai before crossing any legal boundaries. 

Under Shokuhou's **Mental Mastery**, she became a genuine spy. 

Her Quirk, perfect for intelligence warfare, allowed her to transform after drinking others' blood. Getting Midoriya Izuku's blood likely wasn't too hard. 

(*Note: In this story, One for All requires consent from both the current holder and the successor to transfer.*) 

However, why Toga bypassed Shokuhou to meet Accelerator alone was something he couldn't figure out. 

Out of basic respect, Accelerator released his pressure on her for the time being. 

The moment he did, Toga let out a strange, tempting sound. 

"Not being able to make the cool Accelerator bleed is the worst... Physical pain is nothing compared to that." 

Amused by her absurd comment, Accelerator chuckled for real. 

"Ha! A mosquito thinking it can suck blood from a fighter jet. That's the funniest thing I've heard lately." 

Blushing, Toga responded with a wild grin: 

"A moth flying into the flame—it's thrilling, isn't it?" 

"I'm just a girl." 

"Wanting to be like someone you love... that's only natural." 

Accelerator, familiar with people born with "evil" in their hearts, didn't buy into her act. 

He calmly reached out and grabbed her soft cheek. 

His right hand, the most dangerous weapon in existence, could easily crush her delicate skin and bones if he chose to. 

In a cold tone, Accelerator said: 

"Is this what it takes for you to talk properly?" 

Under his brutal grip, Toga barely managed to gasp: 

"Ah... I... I surrender..." 

He threw her to the ground, leaving the blonde girl looking unusually pitiful for a moment. 

"It seems there's no chance against Accelerator-kun... what a shame." 

Accelerator chose to keep watching her "performance" with an icy stare.

He believed that Toga was the kind of person born with a natural "malice," a rare existence. Humans are born with 10% "good" and 10% "bad" people, and the rest are shaped by their experiences. 

Toga was undoubtedly a distorted copycat of the "Hero Killer," and compared to the more purposeful "Hero Killer," her self-centered madness was more of a threat. 

Just as he no longer believed in any truly perfect abilities after his own [Vector Manipulation] was defeated by the [Fantasy Killer], he didn't think there was any such thing as a perfect ability, even after Toga was carefully molded by Shokuhou's [Mind Control]. 

This altered her sense of right and wrong and how she judged things, turning her into someone who truly belonged to the "hypocrisy" side. 

Because of this, he didn't fully trust her. 

Especially since Toga had bypassed Shokuhou Misaki and spoke to him in such an awkward way. 

Accelerator usually tried to understand people's psychology with the utmost malice, except for a few specific individuals. 

Toga was clever. She seemed to instinctively sense his wariness. 

Without the possibility of getting any "closer" to him, she didn't plan to test him further for now. 

Toga's feelings for Accelerator weren't without reason. Besides having taken down her former idol, the "Hero Killer," her style of handling things, combat ability, and appearance made her inexplicably attracted to him. 

Besides, as a subordinate, occasionally stepping out of line was a fun thing to do. 

That's what she had thought, and it was why she acted so boldly. 

For Toga, it was just a matter of reporting the intelligence, which was originally meant for "Queen" Shokuhou Misaki, to her male master, Accelerator, first. 

Shokuhou Misaki had left a lot of room in her [Mind Control] and didn't strictly prioritize such minor details, as long as the information wasn't crucial. 

Toga took advantage of this loophole, simply wanting to see him in person. 

If Accelerator could read minds, he would have no doubt mocked her as a lunatic. 

Toga, with her golden eyes like dragon pupils, stared at him, smiling as she began to report the information word by word. 

"About two hours ago, I discovered that the upcoming science artificial island has connections to criminals." 

"The job is to obtain a high-tech Quirk item from the conglomerate controlling the science island." 

"The specifics of the item haven't been fully disclosed by the client." 

"Right now, there are already a lot of mercenaries and one large team planning to take the job. That's about it." 

After finishing, Toga continued to gaze at him intensely. 

Accelerator sneered and said, 

"Scientists supposed to help professional heroes teaming up with the enemy? This tired old routine has no newness." 

"If these pests are willing to risk their lives, then I'll gladly accept the job and wipe them out." 

Though he said that, in reality, he didn't slack off at all. The soon-to-be-opened artificial tech island was a place known as the holy land of Quirk science from another world, a place for researchers to exchange ideas. 

There would be many people visiting for the exhibition, and although Accelerator had received an invitation from the Hero Association, he had rejected it because he didn't want the trouble. 

Now it seemed like there was no way to avoid this hassle. 

While Accelerator completely dismissed the so-called [Quirk Science] from the other world and the scientists growing wildly under its influence, most researchers were firmly on the side of maintaining order. 

As for the few bad apples, Accelerator wouldn't mind giving them a hand, sending them straight to hell sooner rather than later. 

If spilling blood could make the world a bit more tolerable, he'd consider it too troublesome. 

Of course, for him, dealing with troublesome people like Toga was something he'd rather avoid.
