chapter 5 "accidental" murder- "accidental" encounter

Those damn bastards, using me like a negotiation piece, waving their guns and cameras around like I'm a circus clown, screaming and acting like I'm a damsel in distress.

"Damn bastard I'm gonna kill you" Devour this bastard [Beelzbub]

in almost an instant black smoke surrounded the robber like hands they began clawing his limbs

"-huh? yo- AHHHHHHHHHHH" his screams were like a melody to my ears, the robber trying to shoot instead got his whole arm cut off and destroyed.

but he kept on struggling, [beelzbub] acting like tentacles restrained his body, I kept ripping his limbs and face apart like a reverse puzzle the police and news looked at the scene in horror, even Tokoyami the edgelord looked at me in fear

stopping [beelzbub] the robber only lost 3 limbs and has his face disfigured. serves you right

looking toward the police officers and the news anchor I said

"Do I need to do your job for you? here you go! I rescued myse-" 

a sudden air pressure pushed me slightly, looking at where it came from.... 2 meters tall, blonde hair, a ridiculous amount of muscle, and a beaming smile....

oh no I'm screwed

"Have no fear! for I am here!" All Might said his signature catchphrase in a superhero pose, soon after his eyes darted along the crowd until they landed on me.. and the almost corpse beside me

************

All Might POV:

(oOoOoO I'm doing POV's now)

jumping from building to building I kept surveying the city, as the symbol of peace I shouldn't just stop incidents when I am alerted of them but also prevent one from happening in the first place, 

[Toshi there's an emergency]

"Nighteye? What happened?" I asked usually, Nighteye acted calm but his tone of voice was clearly worried

[There is an ongoing robbery in Leus Arcade, it turned into a hostage-taking situation]

"Who the hell robs an arcade? no matter I'll head right there!"

[you should hurry the robber is starting to become agitated and he might even kill the hostage]

"tell me more about the situation," I said worriedly, if the hostage dies because I wasn't there to help... I might never forgive myself

[the hostage is still unidentified but it seems to be a young girl, with blue hair. the robber is threatening that he will kill her if the police don't let him go]

"he's taking a child as a hostage? how dare he!" this bastard, threatening innocent lives

jumping with even more force, creating shockwaves I head towards the location.

"there it is!" I go even faster, my heart is beating even faster, and my nervousness even starts showing on my smile, how can I smile when there's an innocent child in danger?

I land in front of the arcade and quickly look for the robber, trying to dispatch him as fast as possibl-

huh?

instead of seeing a scared child being held by a robber, I saw a gruesome scene, a man lay on the floor, half his limbs were missing and his face looked like an animal clawed through it. next to the man I saw the supposed hostage... instead of a scared or terrified expression on the young girl, there was an expression of anger... or annoyance..? what have I stumbled upon?

*********

fuck fuck fuck fuck why is All Might here? this is supposed to be your run-of-the-mill robbery, stopped by a random unknown hero not ALL MIGHT 

"he- hey there missy are you all right?" he asks as if the half-corpse next to me doesn't exist

"I'm a boy." my head being in disarray I can only afford short answers lest I explode

"ah sorry are you alright" 

"yes."

"ahem... well good job enduring the robber's intimidation...?" robber's intimidation? my ass, I had to endure everything else

"Sure... can I go home now" if I could, I would just teleport out of here never to be seen again... well I can but the skill is locked 

All Might looked at me with an expression of pity, don't tell m-

"Unfortunately we'll have to go to the police department, and get your statements, I'm truly sorry but you'll need to endure just a little more"

"Fine... " I have no choice, I hope I won't be charged for whatever happened to that guy, looking at the "disassembled" body... maybe I should learn to control my anger

following behind All Might and a few police officers we quickly reached the police department.

entering the building we were greeted by the sounds of screaming and arguing, looking towards the reception desk I saw my mother having a "friendly conversation" with the clerk, my mom's eyes were filled with tears, I also saw my father sitting on one of the benches, his shirt wet from cold sweat and tears, jeez he might actually have a water quirk with how much water his eyes are producing.

"You are doing nothing while my baby is in danger!"

"with all due respect ms. Tempest ill h-"

"I don't need your respect! you are treating my baby's life like it's a-"

"ahem young miss" All Might's voice interrupted their heated conversation

"You needn't worry, the situation is already solved, and the only thing we need to do is chec-" my mother interrupted him in turn, with speed that even surprised All Might she dashed towards me and embraced me with a hug that could squeeze a star. 

"I'm glad you're okay Rimuu" my mother started bawling her eyes out and I felt all the stress I accumulated this whole day melt like icecream on a sunny day 

"Im okay Mom" Even I started tearing up a little, I was reminded again that my family loves me

even my dad joined this family hug... 

but before we could enjoy our "family reunion" a voice interrupted us,

"While I would've loved to see such a loving family be happy, your son was involved in an incident and thus we are required to document your son's story and compare it to witness yada yada" the voice came from an officer who just exited one of the offices, his relaxed demeanor couldn't hide the sharpness in his eyes.

"and also your son used a quirk outside without having a license which is in fact illegal, but because it was self-defense well skip over it. follow me" the man guided us into a different office, well it looked more like an interrogation room.

meanwhile, All Might thought to himself 'he did that? How brutal'

***********

"so what I am saying, in short, is that your son committed manslaughter while the self-defense argument could apply we still have to punish someone" Those words echoed in my mind.... huh he died.. I couldn't listen to the conversation my mom was having with the officer. I killed a guy... If I'm being honest, I don't feel too much guilt is that normal? 

"We have already reduced his sentence to as short as possible, All Might will be taking some of the blame for being late, The most I could comprise is having him be given an under-surveillance home arrest for 6 months instead of being sent to a uncontrolled quirk management center."

"but my son needs to attend elementary school, how will he learn?" my mom's cold voice replies

"homeschooling or private tutoring, whichever you prefer I believe Rimuru is an intelligent boy so he should have no trouble, right?" the officer said, looking at me for a reply

"... I wasn't listening" I answered bluntly

"pfft.. sorry" My father's chuckle reminds me of his existence

"sigh.. homeschooling it is" Just like that my mother decided not to bother trying to completely null the sentence.

(In case you are wondering All Might still hasn't gotten his injury, All might only received it when Midoriya was 9 years old, there will probably be a time skip as I want to start the UA arc soon)
