Chapter 62 - The Plot Unfolds

"Welcome to the League of Villains I guess..." Shigaraki grumbled as he sat back down in frustration, his mood worsened by the two new recruits standing before him.

"Cool! I thought I was about to die ya know!" A fair-skinned girl with a pretty face commented, with a looney smile on her as she looked at Shigaraki. She had yellow cat-like eyes, and her canines made her look like a vampire. Though her seifuku outfit made her look cute instead of menacing.

This was Himiko Toga, and from what the broker, Giran, had told Shigaraki when they first met a couple of minutes ago, was a major suspect in multiple murders involving bloodletting.

'So I have a bloodthirsty vampire, and... whatever that guy is in my team... Great... Just great...' Shigaraki complained internally, glancing at a tall, pale, spiky black haired man standing beside the smiling Toga.

The person had introduced himself as Dabi, informing them it was an alias, hiding his real name. And from what Giran had told him, has caused no notable crimes yet, but alongside with Toga, is somewhat of a follower of Stain's ideals.

Dabi's most striking features were undoubtedly the patches of gnarled, wrinkled, purple skin that covered much of his lower face and neck, all the way down past his collarbone, below his eyes, around his torso, and on his arms. They were all attached to the rest of his skin by multiple crude surgical staples and hoop piercings.

Initially, Shigaraki wasn't pleased with his visitors due to them seemingly being types he despised the most, and had actually ordered Kurogiri to send them away. But the misty man had told him to listen to what they had to say first.

Somehow, they had almost gotten into an altercation, mostly due to Shigaraki's anger issues, but Kurogiri had used his mist to warp Dabi, Toga and Shigaraki's attacks away from each other, being the hero of the day.

After some advising, Shigaraki finally relented, allowing them yo join the League of Villains.

"So like, can we not call it the League of Villains? It's so boring ya know? Let's just call it LOV, like you know, love?" Toga suggested happily, twirling her knife around her fingers. Shigaraki sighed, finding it best to just ignore her. Dabi glanced around the room, noticing a familiar console placed near a flat screen television.

"Man, you got a PS10? Nice. Didn't take you for a gamer." Dabi sat on the couch, activating the console with a press of a button. Hearing the beep, Shigaraki immediately straightened up, turning around.

"Hey! Don't touch... that..." Shigaraki got his words out too late, as Dabi already loaded up GTA 6.

"Oo! Oo! I wanna play!" Toga excitedly joined Dabi on the couch. The black haired man side eyed her, a look of suspicion on his face.

"Do you even know what this game is about?" He asked her. Toga nodded, smiling all the while.

"Yeah, it's the game where you have tons of weapons and kill everyone right?" She stated confidently, having actually never played the game before.

"Uh... technically yeah..." Dabi scratched his head. 'She's definitely the type to invade the military base just for the heck of it.' He thought to himself.

"I got it correct! So let me play!"

"No. Go away."

Things were just getting livelier in the League of Villains.

...

"Let's go! We all passed!" Mina cheered as she and Denki, having defeated Nezu, met with the rest of their classmates, with them also having just finished their respective fights and were now heading towards the medical tent to receive their checkup.

"I am here to congratulate you all!" All Might came out of nowhere, scaring them. Mina laughed at her circumstance before noticing Izuku and Bakugo exiting the medical tent.

"Congrats on passing!" Izuku grinned, giving them a thumbs up. Bakugo sighed.

"You guys weren't that bad... I guess..."

"That's high praise coming from someone like you, Bakugo!" Sero commented.

"The hell is that supposed to mean!" And back to being an angry pomeranian he goes.

"Where's Sukuna? Is he not with you?" Mina inquired, not liking the uncomfortable expressions on All Might and Izuku as soon as she asked that question. Bakugo stayed silent, only sighing in response.

"Get out of my way." Mina immediately pushed Izuku and Bakugo aside, rushing into the medical tent. She gasped, rushing towards the unconscious Sukuna's side at blinding speeds.

"What happened?" She asked Recovery Girl who approached her.

"Quirk overuse. Even if he was fighting All Might, the boy's pride didn't allow him to simply retreat." She explained. Mina's frown only got bigger as she looked down at her boyfriend.

She's never seen him in such a weakened state before. The amount of bandages wrapped around his arms and chest made her sob. Usually, his wounds would be healed by now, but they clearly weren't. She could only imagine what happened on his side of the test.

She immediately glared at All Might who made the bad choice of walking in. Recovery Girl immediately exited after seeing the look on Mina's face, internally apologizing to All Might for leaving him all alone with her.

"ALLLL MIIIIGGGHT!!!!" Class 1-A outside the tent all jumped at Mina's angered scream. The teachers all looked at each other awkwardly. Even Bakugo jumped away from the tent, not wanting to be near ground zero.

"My deepest apologies, Young Ashido!" All Might bowed deeply at her. "Know that I had no intention of seriously injuring young Sukuna. The boy just simply wouldn't give up on fighting me, even though I warned him not to overdo it!" All Might explained.

"That..." Mina was about to shout profanities, but she held herself back.

"That..." She looked down. "That sounds just like Sukuna..." She admitted, knowing full well how her significant other acted like.

"Get out of here..." She whispered. All Might quickly disappeared, leaving her and Sukuna alone. She sighed, sitting on the chair near her lover's bed. She laughed a little, wiping away the tears threatening to flow down her eyes.

"I should've known you'd do something stupid, dummy. We're not even pros yet and I'm already acting like this when you get injured. I'm one crazy girlfriend, huh?..." She shook her head, looking down at her legs silently.

She gasped, feeling a gentle hand cup her cheek. The hand gently raised her head, as Mina looked at Sukuna staring at her, his crimson eyes shining intensely.

"Don't worry too much, Mina. After all, I'm the strongest—Oof!" Sukuna grunge as Mina immediately went in for a hug.

"Oh thank God!" She sighed, burying his face in her chest. Sukuna didn't move for a while, before he accepted his fate, hugging her gently in return.

Mina released the hug after a while, smiling warmly at Sukuna. "I'm glad you're awake. I was about to scream at All Might, you know?" Mina grinned sheepishly.

"Actually, I was already awake when you screamed his name. I didn't know you had it in you, Mina. If I didn't know any better, I'd think you're training to be the next Present Mic."

"Shut uppp!!" Mina blushed in embarrassment, slapping his arm while pouting at him. Sukuna snorted, shaking his head. He looked down at his bandages before he started ripping them off.

"Hey! You're not supposed to... take them off..." Mina found herself at a loss for words, noticing that Sukuna's wounds were healed.

"Wow uh... Wasn't expecting that...Haha..." Mina laughed awkwardly.

"You sure work out a lot..." Mina commented, placing a hand on his abs, staring at them hungrily while she started rubbing them. Sukuna raised an eyebrow at her expression. It looked like she was about to devour him like he was a piece of heat.

"My eyes are up here, you know that?" He teased, but Mina ignored him completely, licking her lips.

"Ahem!" They both looked at the newcomer. It was Aizawa, and he didn't look amused at what they were doing.

"Do I need to remind you two that you're still 15?" Aizawa grumbled, throwing the P.E uniform at Sukuna. Meanwhile, Mina immediately sat back on her seat, face flushed at being caught.

"Get changed and go home. You've caused enough problems for me today. And no Mina, you're not allowed to watch him change."

"Okayyy Dadzawa..." A dissatisfied Mina grumbled, following her teacher out.

"Serves you right for being a pervert." Sukuna taunted with a smirk. Mina glared at him as she walked away.

"Quiet! You were basically asking for it anyways!"
