Eat, eat, eat
Even if technically I'm not bound to eat I can feel my non-existent guts screaming for food
I use a lot of strings in my battle against whoever those guys were, I need to eat before the festival start to even have a chance to survive
While it's true that I still have some left and eating some food could just make the cut to stay on top 10, after the U.S.J attack I realize that I need to be stronger and better, and for that I decided to win this thing
I mean, since I need to stand out to achive a long term plan I have going on it's the best way, but doing it, is another story
Let's explain something about my quirk, while it's true I consume any type of organic matter and stored in my body, this process is not anything simple, it takes a LOT of food and time to full my body to the top
And since I just end up consuming half of my storage in the early morning it could be the case that I run out off threads in the middle of the festival so I cannot take it simple
As I arrive at the UA I can sense the spirit this place have, a lot of people are gathered to see us fight and win this thing, and honestly, I kinda like it being for the first time someone somewhat important
I pass security without any problem and before I get to the event I take a detour to the food stalls and buy everything I can with the money I stole
There I see a white little girl using her beauty to get free things while patrolling, that girl that maked me run like a bitch yesterday
Mount Lady
She is honestly terrifying in the criminal sight, the fact that such tiny petite girl can destroy buildings with not to much effort is something to take note, she is also stunning, after some seconds of me staring at her she takes notice and smirk back at me
I start walking towards her and her smile wides, she gets closer and after some steps we are very close
-Are you lost? Even if it's still some time left you should be here student, hehe-
She starts the conversation with a soft voice, completely opposite of the threatening voice she show me some hours ago, she also dont waste time before touching my arm and my chest, I dont know if she is doing it playing or being serious so I just smile at her
-Oh, yeah, I know, I'm very sorry Miss Mount Lady, I just wanted to have a snack since I'm nervous for everything going on-
-Oh don't worry! You look strong, whats your name kid? I might wanna recruit you for my agency-
She says with bold face, was she even like this at this point in the story? I know I make my face almost perfect to help me in situations like this but, a person can change a lot just for seeing a pretty face?
-Akuma Matsumoto is my name miss, it's a pleasure to have the opportunity to being scouted for such beautiful woman-
-Oh my~ What a shameful you are hehe-
She doesn't seem flustered by my approach, I guess she still sees me as a little kid after all, well, what can i do
-I'm going now, thanks for everything Mount Lady, I promise Im going to win this festival in your honor-
I say as I bow down, I already put all the food I bought inside me so it's just matter of time before the process of making strings is done, I can just keep eating and pray it's enough
-Hoho, call me just Takeyama, I hope that you put a good effort in the event kid, I'm hoping you can prove that big mouth of yours-
After she waves me off laughing, after some little time I get to the change room where I get into my training clothes and go with my class
Everyone is already there, they look at me weird, maybe it's because I'm usually very punctual ?
-Where have you been dude? I thought you wouldn't come-
-Akuma, Akuma! Are you excited?!-
Mina and Kirishima are the first one to talk to me, Mina is as energetic as ever, and Kirishima looks genuinely worried about me
-I got a little side tracked, don't worry much, I'm here,anyways, let's get going, I'm sure we have a lot to do-
I say as I pat Mina head, it's strange, I started doing it just because I liked her hair and wanted to tease her but I notice that she genuinely likes it, when we talk she even gets close to me without even noticing
I guess Pavlov could be proud of me
As we walk I can hear screams of joy, I can feel the tense around our class, since the attack, we are the center of attention, in that time, Denki whisper in my ear
-Dude, aren't you nervous, you still have that bored expression of yours-
-What are you saying, of course I'm nervous, Im not sure how this is about to go on-
-Well, If you ask me, it's like you are never surprised of anything, even back at the U.S.J, you didn't looked scared facing villans for the first time-
-Yeah dude! You are always look like you are ready to face whatever is in the way, like, nothing can surprise you?-
Why do I feel this is going to stab me in the back? Like really, I don't want a monkey wrench that is going to fuck everything off
I look at Denki and the now self-included Jiro while walking and pretending to think by myself
-Well, I think it's thanks to my quirk,after I got it I didn't show that many emotions, maybe the quirk make me be strong minded?-
That is enough for them, both of them are dumb so it's easy for me say anything and convince them of it, they whisper at each other before finally arriving
In front of us it's the 1-B class, they are looking at us with the usual competitive spirit of them, I make my way to the front while Monoma is screaming gibberish at us, at that moment I see what I'm looking for
-Hey-
I say to the girl in front of me, Kendo, the world around us disappears as she look at me with that smile of her that makes me forget how fucked up I am
-Oh! Akuma, whats up?-
-I just wanted to say good luck-
-O-oh...Aren't you like, my enemie?-
-Thats why I'm giving you good luck-
I say as I extend my hand at her, she laughs and accept, we both look at each other one last time before our groups walk at us and start leaving the back stage
-Yeah, good luck, Akuma-kun-
