Satoru Akiyama, age 15, better known as Mato.
He was 1.75cm tall, had spiky, red hair, yellow eyes, always wore a grey scarf, and as long as he could remember, he was part of the League of Villains.
He didn't remember why though; it was like he had always been there.
Mato had a small crush on Himiko Toga, a female member of the League of Villains.
His quirk was manipulating and using darkness at will.
The only one who knew Mato's actual name was All For One, the one who is told to have found him back then.
One day, Mato received a call. He read the name of the person who was calling:
"All For One."
Mato answered the call.
"What is it, All For One?" he asked.
"Come in the basement," said AFO, "I have an announce to make to everyone."
"Got it," said Mato, closing the call.
"What could he possibly want from me..."
Mato arrived in the basement. It was a small cafè in Yokohama.
The boy entered inside and saw Kurogiri, Shigaraki, Dabi, and Toga.
"Sorry, I'm late," said Mato.
"You're not," said Shigaraki, "you're late only if you arrive after AFO."
Mato sat on a chair.
"Why there are only five of us?" he asked, "where is everyone?"
"Dunno," said Dabi, scratching his head.
"I wonder why AFO called all of us here..." muttered Mato, "hey, Kurogiri-san, can you give me some coffee?"
"Of course, Mato-kun," said Kurogiri while cleaning a glass.
"One for me, too," said Dabi.
"You shouldn't drink coffee, Mato-kun~" said Toga, "you're still underage~"
"I know, Himiko-chan..." sighed Mato, "but I suffer from drowsiness, if I don't drink caffeine I risk falling asleep standing up."
"Oh, right," said Shigaraki, "this is the price to pay for having such a strong quirk."
"By the way," said Kurogiri, handling Mato and Dabi their coffees, "it's pretty similar to Oro's quirk, #3 National Hero."
"I don't think so, he can manipulate light," said Mato, "they're not similar."
"one is the opposite of the other," said Dabi, "but maybe, we're imaginating things,"
"Mmhh, Mato-kun..." Toga moaned, wrapping her arms around Mato's shoulders from behind, "can I suck your blood?"
"Why always mine?"
"Because you're the only one who always says yes!"
"Fine, I'll let you suck my blood later..."
"Yay! Thanks, Mato-kun, you're the best!~"
Mato slightly blushed.
Suddenly, All For One entered the room.
"I'm here, at last," he said.
"Why did you call us?" asked Mato.
"I've got a plan," AFO said, "have you heard about All Might's arrival as the new U. A. teacher?"
Everyone nodded.
"Good. There Is just one issue: everyone here is too old to go to U. A. This is where you, Mato, enter the pitch."
Everybody looked at Mato.
"Me?" repeated the boy.
"Yes, you," said AFO, "you're 15, the age required to enter the school. All you need to do is enter that school. You'll tell us your discoveries with time."
"But I'm a villain! I can't enter U. A!"
"Yes, if they don't know."
"Seems like a big deal..." muttered Toga, rolling her head.
"It is," said All For One, "so, whaddya say, Mato: do you accept or not?"
"I..." whispered Mato, "I accept."
"Splendid," said AFO, "There's more, though."
"Once you're in, live under the fake name of Hideki Shirakawa, they don't have to know your real name. With time, I'll give you more instructions, but for now, all you have to do is getting inside that fucking school."
"Hideki Shirakawa... I like how it sounds," said Mato.
"Y'all," said All For One, talking to everyone, "you have to constantly monitorate Mato's situation."
"I only have a question," said Mato, "will I be able to participate to the attacks at the school?"
"Sure," said AFO, "we'll inform you the day before. Mato, don't get attacked to anybody."
"Shigaraki, you're the leader from now on," said All For One. Shigaraki nodded.
"Reunion's over, bye. I'm counting on you, Mato."
________________________________________
Mato was walking alongside Dabi and Toga.
"It's not that I don't want to," he said, "but I'd be bored to death there."
"Do your best, Mato," said Dabi, walking away, "or rather, Hideki Shirakawa."
"Now that we're alone, Mato-kun..." whispered Toga, "what about that blood?"
"Be quick and take it," said Mato.
Toga drank a portion of Mato's blood.
"Thanks a lot, Mato-kun!"
"Anytime, Himiko-chan..."
The two parted ways.
Mato didn't have a home, or even a place where to go: he wandered around the city and slept inside garbage bins.
(Do I really want to do this?) he wondered, while leaping on a roof, (I'll see it as an opportunity to grow up...)
The boy sighed.
(What month is it... February, right? I have two months until school begins... Not that I ever went to school, but... I'll see.)
In the night, Mato reached an alley and leaned on a wall.
(I'm tired... I can't even act like a villain, since I have to go to U. A...)
The boy sat down and tried to sleep.
(If only I had a bed... sleeping wouldn't be a problem. But I guess for the ones like me, it's too much to ask.)
Then, Mato fell asleep.
The next morning, the boy woke up. A pigeon was pecking at his leg. Mato got up and cracked his back.
(I'm starving, I'm going to buy something to eat...)
On his way, he noticed a bunch of people regrouped. Driven by curiosity, Mato approached, and
shortly after, he understood what was going on. In the middle of the city, a Hero was battling a villain.
This hero was tall, muscular, and strong. He had straight, blue hair, brown eyes, and a 'O' on the back of his costume.
"Don't worry, citizens!" he exclaimed, "I may not be All Might, but I can ensure you I'm strong!"
The people started to cheer him.
"It doesn't matter if you're not All Might!"
"Yeah, we love you, Oro!"
"Can you sign my shirt?"
(Oh, that's who it is...) thought Mato, (the famous Oro, #3National Hero... Not that I care, but let's see him in action.)
Chapter 1 - End.
