Chapter 15

"Your name is Chiffon, right?"

After leaving school, Chiffon headed down a road alone. So far, he was the only one taking this route. Other students used this road too, but none of them were from Hero Class A.

Just then, someone seemed to be speaking to him. Chiffon turned around and saw a boy with half-white, half-red hair. It was Shoto Todoroki.

"Do you need something, Mr. Todoroki?" Chiffon said casually. Only after saying it did he realize it had slipped out naturally. Calling Shoto Todoroki "Mr. Todoroki" at a time like this seemed inappropriate, considering they still weren't familiar with each other.

"Mr. Todoroki?" Shoto Todoroki paused slightly. There was no expression on his cold face, but he found Chiffon's words a little surprising.

He had observed Chiffon these past few days. Chiffon was a strange person—somewhat withdrawn, yet strangely sociable at times. He seemed to know everything about everyone. Most importantly, Chiffon was strong and calm.

Honestly, very few people their age possessed Chiffon's sort of bearing. Shoto Todoroki said evenly, "Your Quirk is strong. Would you try fighting me?"

This time, Chiffon was a little surprised. Shoto Todoroki was the type who seemed cold yet warm, cool yet kind. He had not expected that after only one day as classmates, Todoroki would come looking for him.

After all, Chiffon was not the only strong one. Fumikage Tokoyami and Bakugo Katsuki both had powerful Quirks. Yet Todoroki had not sought them out and had come to him first. Interesting.

"Sorry, Mr. Todoroki, but I'm not interested," Chiffon said tactfully. At present, Shoto Todoroki could only use ice. Lightning could pierce through ice, so Todoroki's Quirk posed no threat to him—unless he could use his fire Quirk now.

Shoto Todoroki had not expected Chiffon to refuse. Going by how things were supposed to unfold, Chiffon should have agreed. After all, strong people liked fighting strong people. Todoroki had become interested in Chiffon precisely because of that.

"Reason." Shoto Todoroki's expression shifted slightly, though he remained calm.

"You want a reason? Because I'm here!" After saying that, Chiffon left. It was not yet time to fight Shoto Todoroki.

Shoto Todoroki: "???"

He could not understand it. That guy had looked so serious—why did he suddenly seem so cringe? Was it just his imagination?

All Shoto Todoroki could do was smile. If Chiffon did not want to fight him, then perhaps he had some hidden reason, simply disliked fighting, or perhaps... he was afraid of him.

After leaving, Chiffon always had to pass through a park. He did not know what the park was called. He only felt that it was quiet.

"Whoosh!"

Chiffon dodged a needle-like object. It nearly pierced his arm.

"Hehe, your reactions are pretty quick."

After retreating several meters, Chiffon finally got a clear look at the person. He immediately said, "Himiko Toga?"

That was right. She looked like a cute high school girl, but her mind was twisted. Because of Stain's words, she admired him, wanted to become him, and even wanted to kill Stain with her own hands. She liked people covered in wounds and flowing with blood, so she was always inclined to stab others. She was a wanted criminal responsible for a series of deaths caused by excessive blood loss.

Her Quirk allowed her to change her appearance by drinking someone else's blood.

But as long as this yandere girl failed to hurt him the first time, she could forget about succeeding again.

"Huh? You know me?" Himiko Toga put on a cute expression, her face full of confusion.

"You almost fooled me," Chiffon said. He did not have a bad impression of this girl. If she were not part of the League of Villains, perhaps she could be changed.

But at this point, Himiko Toga should only be a high school student. The Stain incident had not happened yet, so there was no possibility of him assimilating a group of followers. His ideals had not yet become apparent.

Still, there was no shortage of a few followers. Chiffon did not know whether Himiko Toga had already fallen under the Hero Killer Stain's shadow at this point.

"Tch~ I was planning to have some fun with a U.A. High School student's body. What a buzzkill." Himiko Toga waved her hand and turned to leave. Her miniskirt fluttered in the breeze, revealing a flash of white underneath.

Chiffon felt his heart stir at the sight, but his expression immediately turned serious. "You failed to ambush me and think you can just leave? Do you think I'm that easy to bully?"

"Oh?" Himiko Toga turned back with a meaningful look. "Then what do you want?"

Chiffon smiled. "What do I want?" In the next instant, he used the speed advantage of Thunder God's Arrival. At such close range, he reached her in the blink of an eye.

Chiffon pushed with his right hand, knocking Himiko Toga onto the grass. Startled, she tried to stab him with her syringe, but Chiffon gave her no chance. He directly used lightning to temporarily paralyze her, and she instantly went limp.

"W-What are you going to do?!" Himiko Toga panicked for the first time. She had always been the one hunting prey, but today the roles had been reversed. Besides, this classmate was incredibly fast. His Quirk seemed related to paralysis or electricity.

Chiffon had long understood Himiko Toga. Her Quirk was quite good and allowed her to transform in countless ways, but her own combat ability was lacking. To be honest, she was not good at fighting alone.

As Chiffon pinned Himiko Toga down, his body suddenly grew hot. Unfortunately, this body had not fully matured yet, so the reaction in certain areas was not particularly strong.

Himiko Toga stared at Chiffon with a flushed face. She suddenly felt that this man was far too domineering, and her heartbeat sped up.

"What am I going to do?" Chiffon grinned and said meaningfully, "There usually aren't many people around here, which is why you chose this place to attack me. Likewise, this is my home ground now. The environment here happens to favor me."

Himiko Toga was truly a little scared now. She had observed this place before. The people who came to this park were usually elderly people, or young people lost in love. There really were very few people around at this hour.

If he wanted to do something indecent, she truly had no way to stop him. After all, her body was still numb.

What do I do? What do I do? I'm going to be eaten. Himiko Toga struggled inwardly. She was still a girl—how could she be involved in something like this?

Chiffon found her flushed face amusing. Naturally, he would not do anything to her. Even if he wanted to, his current body would not allow it. He only wanted to tease her a little.

"Smack~"

Just then, something struck Chiffon on the head. Because he was so close to Himiko Toga's lips, he kissed her directly.

"Ah~" Himiko Toga cried out in panic. "My first kiss."

Chiffon hurriedly stood up and glanced at the apple that had fallen nearby. How embarrassing. An apple had actually hit him, and then he vanished in a flash.

It had to be said, her lips were very soft.
