Shigaraki Tomura

"Salvation Points +100."

The system prompt sounded. Chiffon's somewhat exhausted body immediately felt full of vitality. He had never expected to gain 100 Salvation Points from the Sludge Incident. It seemed that sludge had been scared senseless.

Since he had stepped in himself, the points were credited to him.

This meant that from now on, no matter what kind of villain he encountered, as long as he secretly interfered, the Salvation Points gained after they were subdued would be credited to him.

He could draw a prize again now, but he would have to wait until he got home.

All Might stood among the crowd, drenched in rainwater, his expression blank. Strands of heat rose from his body into the sky, forming a white mist.

He knew his time was up.

"Yahoo, everyone's safe and sound, right? Then hurry up and leave. See you!" After saying this, All Might glanced at Midoriya Izuku lying on the ground from the corner of his eye, seeming to make up his mind about something.

His legs suddenly exerted force, and he shot into the sky like a cannonball, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Chiffon did not linger. He turned and was about to leave when he suddenly caught sight of someone very familiar from the corner of his eye. He immediately followed.

The person was wrapped in a black robe, and it was impossible to tell who they were from behind. But someone wearing a black robe in broad daylight, standing in a shadowy corner, was definitely no good person.

Gradually, there were fewer people on the streets. The cloaked figure headed into an alley with little foot traffic, and Chiffon did not dare follow too closely. After all, he was still very weak. At most, he was stronger than those students who were about to enter the Hero Course.

But he was not so sure about people like Bakugo Katsuki, Shoto Todoroki, and Fumikage Tokoyami. He had never fought them before, so he did not know what the outcome of an actual battle would be.

Still, Chiffon knew that no matter how strong those classmates were, they could not be his opponents. After all, he had been trained in the Dao. Even without a Quirk, he could rely on his own strength to fight head-on, not to mention that he possessed the two powerful Quirks, Thunder God's Arrival and Air Manipulation.

Quirks came in many forms. The same Fire Attribute could have different Quirk names. Some were called Flame Bird, some Burning Flame, and others Blazing Descent. Endeavor's Hellflame, for instance, was a classic example of a powerful Fire Attribute Quirk.

It could be said that as long as One For All and All For One remained out of the world's sight, his status was unrivaled.

Unless a Water Attribute Quirk with equally overwhelming power emerged, Endeavor would naturally have to concede defeat.

At last, the cloaked figure turned a corner and entered a pitch-black area. Chiffon did not continue following him. Instead, he stood at the corner and played with his phone.

Though the gap between the houses was dark, some physical features could still be made out. The man in the black robe gradually pulled down his hood, and the first thing Chiffon saw was a white hand gripping his face.

"So it really is him!"

Chiffon recognized him at first glance. That feature was far too easy to identify. Who else could it be but Shigaraki Tomura?

The white hand on his face seemed to hold great significance for him. Shigaraki Tomura seemed to call that hand "Father," though Chiffon had no idea what he meant by it.

"I thought that pile of mud had some skill, but it turned out to be trash. What a disappointment~" Shigaraki Tomura scratched his chin, looking slightly impatient.

"If you had acted earlier, you could have taken the sludge away. Once it had completely devoured that boy with the excellent Quirk, we would have gained another powerful fighter." From the darkness emerged a faint mass of purplish-black mist.

"Forget it. This isn't the time for us to expose ourselves. Kurogiri, take me back." Shigaraki Tomura seemed to have figured it out. Scratch marks still remained on his chin. Whenever he thought or became irritated, he seemed to scratch at it.

Chiffon did not say a word throughout, nor did he dare move. With these two leading figures of the League of Villains here, he, someone who had only recently acquired a Quirk, was no match for them.

Kurogiri seemed to hesitate. If Shigaraki Tomura had acted earlier, he could have teleported all of them away directly. Even if All Might had arrived afterward, it would have been useless. He would not have been able to catch them.

"There is just one strange thing. I sensed an unusual fluctuation at the scene. It seemed to be a kind of Quirk I've never encountered before." Kurogiri gave a quiet reminder and waited for Shigaraki Tomura's response.

"Was there anyone suspicious?" Shigaraki Tomura asked.

"Not for now. Because of All Might, the rain weakened the presence emitted by that Quirk. And the other party's Quirk seems supernatural in nature, making it difficult to determine who it was." Kurogiri analyzed.

"In that case, let's head back first. Maybe it was just a little ant?" Shigaraki Tomura tilted his head back and laughed, spreading his arms toward the sky. "Very soon, this world will hear the name League of Villains and tremble in fear. I can't wait!"

The next moment, Kurogiri swept up Shigaraki Tomura and vanished from the spot. It was as if no one had ever been there, and the silence was terrifying.

Chiffon slipped his phone back into his pocket, turned around, and looked at the pitch-black alley. "League of Villains."

Perhaps they still did not know that subtle changes had already taken place in this world. The greatest variable was neither Midoriya Izuku nor All Might—it was Chiffon!

But for now, he had to keep a low profile. Before he grew stronger, he might truly be nothing more than a little ant, just as Shigaraki Tomura had said.

Since he had not heard any useful information, Chiffon returned the way he had come.

By the time he got home, the Sludge Incident was already being broadcast on the news. The entire sequence of events was covered in great detail, especially the footage of Bakugo Katsuki, which was exceptionally clear.

Chiffon smiled meaningfully. "This might be the incident Bakugo most wants to erase in his entire life. It's practically black history."

It seemed that many people had mocked Bakugo over the incident, but Bakugo's temper did not allow others to gossip about him. Anyone he heard talking about him got beaten to a pulp.

Chiffon leaned against the small sofa and pondered for a while before suddenly saying, "System. Draw."

A roulette wheel appeared in his mind and began spinning rapidly. Chiffon's mood spun along with it.

At last, the pointer stopped. Clear skies after clouds.

"Congratulations, Host. You have obtained one Quirk Enhancement Pill, along with one randomly awarded Qi Cultivation Pill."

"This system is way too considerate, isn't it? Whatever I need, it gives me?" Chiffon happily jumped to his feet. The Quirk Enhancement Pill was exactly what he needed right now. His strength was so low that if he ran into a somewhat powerful villain, he would be done for. Now, after taking this Quirk Enhancement Pill, he should be able to contend with some minor grunts.

The Qi Cultivation Pill was rather strange, though. It was as if the system knew he cultivated the Dao. He had no idea whether the thing was reliable.

"Whatever, I'll take the Quirk Enhancement Pill first." Without another word, Chiffon tossed the Quirk Enhancement Pill into his mouth, then praised it, "Smooth on the tongue, straight down the throat!"
