Chapter Seventeen: Festival prep,Heartbreak

Max left the All for One mansion through his shadow. "In fact I did know,I put the bounty on him. His quirk will never evolve further than what it is. Tokiwa should be able to handle him pretty well,but we need to do something about Max and Kate" All for one said as Shigaraki was confused "aren't they your top assassins,and your strongest assets?" Shigaraki said as All for One laughed "you really think that those children,are our strongest asset? You're sorely mistaken,their impressive no doubt,among the U.A students they are among the strongest there is. And in terms of assassins they are the strongest,but there are many,and I mean many,that can topple them. For example,the bounty hunting world has many that are ready to take their spot. Akaza and Douma,they are the second and third strongest bounty hunters in the world. Akaza of the spirit fist,known for killing the past top seven heroes. His fighting style Destructive Death allows him to use his spirit fist quirk in many different ways. Douma of the frost. Known for freezing over half of a city with his awakening, his ice is different from the regular ice quirk ,if his ice makes contact with any part of you,that part of you is as good as gone. It induces instant hypothermia and frostbite,if inhaled then your lungs will freeze instantly." All for One said as Shigaraki stood up and asked a question "how do you know this?" Shigaraki asked as All for One turned to him "I've fought them before,there was a bounty on my head,and those two came to claim it. I barely survived,Akaza's senses are sharper than anything you can imagine,his attacks are devastatingly strong,and Douma's ice is equally as terrifying. But the one I'll never forget is the current number three assassin Soi Fon. Her quirk is called Suzumebachi,it gives her access to the scariest assaination ability. Two touches of death,she has a stinger-like weapon on her middle finger with a black and yellow arm guard that can defend against many attacks. Her fighting style is mostly speed based,if she tags you in the same place twice with the stinger,100 different venoms and poisons will be injected into your bloodstream causing death instantly. The only downfall of this is that she has to be fast enough to do so,and if she can't hit skin or any exposed body part,then the effect won't activate" All for One said as he put his hand on Shigaraki's shoulder "when we get the chance,we'll snuff him out" All for one said. "Good Morning U.A Highschool,sorry for the sudden closing yesterday,but due to recent events we needed to do some remodeling. For our announcements today we will be having a school festival soon. Feel free to bring things from your culture or heritage,or set up booths. Secondly, we will be having a tournament between all the students to test their abilities. We hope you'll participate and give it your all. Go beyond, Plus Ultra!" Mic said as Tokiwa perked up when he heard this along with the rest of the class "festival,tournament," the class thought as Tokiwa looked back as he saw Izuku muttering to himself "seems like he's excited,they said it's in a week or two so i should try my best to get some more training in,i wonder with who though?" Tokiwa thought as Aizawa walked in the room and began to class. Around three hours later everyone was released for lunch. "Hey Momo,you and Tokiwa have been getting closer and closer,could it be that,i don't know,you like him?" A pink haired girl with pink skin asked as Momo nearly choked on her food after hearing this question "*cough* what,Mina no,well,look it's complicated,i don't like him,but i don't not like him. He's cute,and strong,and very polite,but the only thing i'm worried about is what happens when i get on his bad side" Momo said as she flushed back to when Tokiwa effortlessly killed the five villains that were trying to assault her "girl…ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? I would kill to have a boy who, one,likes me that much,two,would protect me even if it meant killing someone,and thirdly,and I want you to listen closely, is trying their best to impress me" Mina said as Momo thought about it "i know all of this,and your right,but i just can't shake the fact,it sometimes makes me afraid,like if something happened and he was pissed,would he kill me without a second thought like he did those guys" Momo said as Mina motioned for her to stop talking "i'm sometimes afraid to be in the same room as him,and i have so many questions that he needs to answer,maybe its better i let him down easy,that way nobody gets hurt" Momo said as Mina told her to shut up "what?" Momo said as she looked behind her and saw Tokiwa with grains of rice on his face taking his bowl back to the line "oh shit" Momo thought as Tokiwa took a deep breath, put his bowl back to the line, and walked out of the lunch room. "I probably should have expected as much,i knew i should have been more careful but it was in the heat of the moment,and i couldn't think of anything else so" Tokiwa thought as Momo went to try and explain everything "wait,Toki,let me explain" Momo said as Tokiwa stopped walking away "you don't have to explain anything,i'm not upset,or hurt in any way,i may not know the full context,but i can tell when someone is being honest or not. And right there,that was the brutal truth Momo. It's fine,i understand,i'm dangerous,so it'd be in your best interest to keep your distance from me" Tokiwa said as Momo looked down "i,i'm sorry,it's not that your dangerous,it's just,i'm still shaken from everything,i don't truly know how i feel about everything right now,so,please,don't take it the wrong way" Momo said as Tokiwa nodded in silence and walked away. "You totally screwed the pooch on that one" Mina said as Momo sighed "i can tell" Momo said. Tokiwa used his strings and flung himself to the top of the school building and sat there "...damn,i really screwed up." Tokiwa thought as he looked at the sky. Tears started to flow from his eyes as they streamed down his face "why…am I crying? I shouldn't be crying about this,but yet,something in my chest hurts,so much. Pick yourself up and keep moving,you don't have any time to waste here,you'll be fine" Tokiwa thought to himself as he wiped the tears from his face. "Oh great!" Tokiwa said sarcastically as he pulled out a mirror which showed obvious tear marks along his face. Whenever Tokiwa cries or is put in a stressful situation his body reacts by extending the blue lines to where the tear marks are. This allows him to access his strings with more ease. Normally Tokiwa calms himself down and the lines shrink back to their normal length. But right now Tokiwa is experiencing his first heartbreak.so his body is filled with so many emotions that these lines aren't going away anytime soon. "I'll just go back to the dorms for the rest of the day, I can't go back to classes like this. I'll just get the information from the computers tomorrow" Tokiwa said as he glitch teleported back to his dorm room. As soon as Tokiwa got in his room he put his face in his pillow and cried. "Hey, have you seen Toki anywhere?" Izuku asked as the person he asked shook his head no "oh,thanks anyways" Izuku said as the bell rang "i should get to class,he's probably in the bathroom" Izuku thought as the entire school day went by "he's still not here?" Izuku thought as he was getting worried "hey,i think i know where he might be" Max said as he and Kate came out of Izuku's shadow "...did you just crawl out of my shadow?" Izuku asks as Max cracks his neck "yeah,i know,it's creepy,you'll get used to it" Max said as Kate stretched "no it's super cool! I wish I could crawl out of the shadows!" Izuku said as his eyes lit up "huh,well that's a first,but Tokiwa is probably in his dorm room," Max said as he grabbed Izuku and Kate walked into another shadow. Max,Kate, and Izuku then came out of the shadow of one of the rooms in the dorms "woah!" Izuku said as he walked out of the room they were in. Kate's ears perked up as she could hear talking "is that a TV i'm hearing" Kate said as she walked to Tokiwa's room and opened the door. What she saw surprised her,the usual calm,cool,collected Tokiwa. Is watching old TV shows,eating a bucket of Ice cream,sniffling,as he softly cries. "Wow,i've seen a lot of things,but i haven't seen such a drastic change in dmener before" Kate said as Izuku walked in there with a determined look on his face to cheer up his friend "i don't know what's bothering you this much,but,i promise that you'll feel better if you talk to us" Izuku said as he turned the room light on "gah! You could have warned me,actually it doesn't matter anyways,nothing matters anymore" Tokiwa said as Max felt a bit sorry for him "heartbreaks can do that to you i guess," Max thought as Kate explained what happened "i was in his shadow,only because he walks as fast as most people run so it's better transportation,and i heard Momo say some pretty messed up things about him. She said he was dangerous and that she didn't feel safe around him,which i can kinda understand but her friend thought otherwise,but Momo insisted on her feelings,TLDR lover boy feels as if Momo hates him now" Kate said as Izuku thought about it "c'mon Toki,you can't let a heartbreak take you this low" Izuku said as Tokiwa looked at him "easy for you to say,that round faced girl has a massive crush on you,and you have a crush on her too,so it'd be easy for you to get a girlfriend,but when your looked at as dangerous,and unsafe by the person you like,it really hurts" Tokiwa said as he grabbed his blanket and walked to the kitchen "*sniffle* i need some more Ice cream" Tokiwa said as Max stopped him "you'll get sick,lets just calm down and talk" Max said
