It was 3 p.m....
X was coming out of his apartment closing the door behind him, still dressed in his black suit but without the tie.
He was heading for the stairs when he passed a trio of young women who were going up with boxes.
"Where is apartment 27?" asked the leader of the group in a grumpy voice, dragging her feet...
"You're complaining when I'm the one carrying all the boxes!" growled a young woman with extremely long red hair, they must have been 1m85 tall....
She was carrying about fifty large boxes thanks to them...
The young woman with slightly short brown hair stared at the red girl with saw-teeth.
"Azula, Akane... calm down!" said the third young woman timidly. She was blonde with big glasses but that didn't take away her charm at all.
"aahhhh! Apartment 27 is here!" cried the blonde with a happy smile.
X noticed that the apartment she was talking about was next to his apartment and that it had the same number as today's chapter....
"How likely was this to happen?" he wondered with a straight face.
"There you go! We've arrived, are you happy?!" the red-haired woman growled.
"Come on girls, have set up our boxes, this is the beginning of our adventure to be the strongest group of heroines in Japan!" cried the brunette woman, raising her fist with determination, ignoring the question of the young woman with red hair who grunted with fury. The blonde laughed nervously, trying to calm her friends.
They then noticed X and greeted him respectfully before entering their apartment.
"very interesting new characters, with such Chara design, I guess they will be quite important... I have the impression that I will appreciate them. .." he thought with a serene smile as he went down the stairs, leaving the building.
And he wasn't wrong... but we will come back to them later...
............
Izuku was returning home, having suffered his share of daily humiliation by bakugo. Tears stung in his eyes but he refused to cry, clutching his analysis notebook number 9 as an emotional refuge.
"Whether it's Kacchan, the other comrades and even mom, no one believes that I can be a hero... Am I really so useless in this world where Quirks dominate?" Izuku wondered, clutching his notebook more forcefully.
He then noticed that in his gloomy reflection, he had found himself in a small alley rather dark and distressing...
Fear knotted his stomach and he decided to turn back as quickly as possible when he noticed very strange noises...
He swallowed but this childish curiosity was stronger than his reason and he rushed deeper into the alley.
That's when he saw something he should never have seen....
A man with blond hair and his clones was furiously beating a man with various objects, it was so brutal that the blood stained the walls and dripped profusely on the floor....
Izuku barely held back a scream of horror and his notebook fell to the ground, causing noises that caught the attention of one of the clones.....
He fixed his entirely white, empty eyes on the area where the green-haired boy had been hiding, which was a dumpster.
Izuku had tears in his eyes, his hands covering his mouth.
Instinctively, he ran away at full speed, grabbing his notebook but one of the clones was already on top of him, kicking him.
Izuku was propelled about ten meters, his knees were scraped, his cheek was very deeply cut because of a large shard of glass on the ground and his head was bleeding.
He got up with the energy of despair and fled under the cold and pitiless gaze of the blond man.
"Go ahead, catch him and kill him... He's seen too much," he said dryly as two clones rushed in pursuit of the green-haired boy.
....
Meanwhile, X was in front of an ATM next to the alley where the deadly hunt was taking place.
He suspected nothing....
"Suspect what?" asked the dark-haired man, readjusting his glasses, suspicious.
Silence answered him...
"I guess I'll have to wait, it's not like a bleeding boy is going to come out of this alley chased by a dozen demonic clones..." X said, playing with his coin between his fingers, his shoulders shrugged...
He inserted the coin and removed the soda can with the X logo on it.
"Nothing better to start the evening" he said with a smile as he wanted to open it.
Suddenly...
A green-haired child came out of the alley, dragging his feet and bloodied...
....
Izuku saw the man in front of the vending machine and suddenly took his hand, much to his astonishment.
"Sir! We must flee, they are after me! Call the heroes!" he cried with tears in his eyes, in a voice filled with terror.
The man looked at him wide-eyed in disbelief and concern before noticing the two clones coming out of the alley and approaching them.
The two clones moved forward slowly, as they multiplied...
...
The clones rushed in, there were now about twenty of them...
"Stand back, little one," says the black-haired man with a serene smile.
Izuku looked at him with wide eyes of surprise and fear, but before he even backed away...
The clones hit the dark-haired man who skillfully dodged...
SNAP!!
Two of the clones were turned into stickers on the wall!
Izuku's eyes widened in disbelief, he had seen for a few seconds reality take on a brighter and more colorful animation, like comic books. The man with black hair had become a man with white hair with a suit of the same color...
"What?!" he said to himself in amazement.
The clones multiplied again and rushed towards the duo fiercely. The man with black hair threw his can into the air, the X logo appeared in close-up thanks to the narrative camera....
SNAP!!
The man snapped his fingers and he became the charming white-haired man with a small, arrogant smile.
He ran his hand over his hair as the clones threw themselves at him...
As if time and space themselves were bending to man's will, he dodged the clones' devastating punches and kicks without any difficulty, his hands in his trouser pockets, the can still suspended in mid-air.
Suddenly, everything went back to normal and the can fell to the ground.
"He dropped his can!" thought Izuku to himself as he went to retrieve it. He picked it up and looked around for his savior and villains.
To his surprise, they were fighting inside the floor and wall, as if it were another dimension.
"Good luck, Mr. X," the green-haired boy said to himself as he watched them.
...
The fight was raging, the clones multiplied each time to harass X from all sides, but for the god of the story it was child's play to dodge them. He snapped his fingers and they found themselves outside this dimension.
X found himself next to izuku and snapped his fingers again, turning some of them into stickers on the floor and walls.
"I see X in action for real! He's as cool as all might!" thought Izuku, looking at Hero X with extreme admiration.
X looked at izuku and laughed sweetly at his enthusiasm.
Suddenly, Izuku's eyes widened in horror as he saw one of the clones shooting bullets at X.
X noticed this and simply smiled, snapping his fingers in slow motion and turning the bullets into onomatopoeias that repelled the clones in an extreme colorimetry animation.
BANG!
THUD!
It turned out that whoever fired the gun was not a clone but the original.
"Fuck! Even you can't do anything against my clone army! We're going to corner you until you die!" cried the original villain as he stood up, creating more than a thousand clones that got into battle stance.
X raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. He thought with a tired sigh that the author had deliberately made this villain stupid so that this chapter would not end in 1400 words.
"Mr. X!" cried Izuku in terror, squeezing X's legs tightly.
"Don't worry kid, hold on to me" he says with a serene smile as he pulls up his glasses.
The clones threw themselves at him and X snapped his fingers, they changed into glitches for a few seconds before ending up on the roof of a building.
"Unbelievable!!" Izuku cried as X held him close. The thousands of clones fell from the sky like a rain of men.
"and it's not over," X smiled smirkingly as he snapped his fingers.
They were now in a kind of space where the solar system was made like children's drawings. Izuku looked at himself in astonishment, surprised to see himself animated like this.
The clones and the original rushed towards him in rage...
"Die!!" The original yelled as X yawned in boredom. He snapped his fingers and all the villains turned into stickers...
Without exception....
...
Everything went back to normal and izuku realized that they were in front of the Musutafu Central Hospital....
He was so surprised that he did not see that the hero X was quietly moving away.
Izuku turned around and ran to number 0 whom he hugged.
X turned around and saw izuku timidly handing him the can.
"You almost forgot that..." he said in a small voice.
X analyzed the little one for a few seconds before smiling kindly and retrieving his can.
"Thank you, little green, you better go so that the doctors can treat your wounds and call your parents" he said with a tender smile.
Izuku nodded and the man was about to teleport when Izuku grabbed a piece of his jacket.
"please Mr. X, I have a question for you..." he said in a trembling voice, with his head down.
X became serious and bent down to match the green-haired boy.
Izuku raised his head and stared into the man's eyes, his green eyes shining with contained tears.
"Can I be a hero, even if I don't have an Quirk?"
To be continued.....
