Chapter 27: CHAPTER 27
Is this a dream?
That's what he'd been muttering ever since he first saw the two-dimensional world of colorful-haired people.
But this time was different.
"Is this a dream?" She asked once again.
Suddenly someone hit his head. "If you're still dreaming then immediately wash your head and change your clothes!. Come on, you have a basketball game today. The honor of our dormitory building is on your shoulders today!. Get ready!, your team members have been bombarding me with chats ever since!."
Leonard, her roommate in the real world. Now standing in front of him.
"Andy, what are you waiting for?!."
Yes, that was his name in the real world. And just now Leonard called him.
"Ah? Yes. Basketball game... now?" He rubbed his forehead. "So it was all a dream?"
"Dream, dream. Look, it's not a dream. Your eyes are open, my eyes are open. How can anyone dream with their eyes open? Let's not talk about dreams anymore. If you're not going to wash your face then come on, at least change your clothes." Leonard threw Andy's clothes from the closet.
He quickly put on his clothes in a daze.
"Come on, hurry up. The match might start without you. We have to hurry!" Leonard pulled Andy's hand and ran.
He looked at the dormitory hallway they passed. This was the hallway of dormitory building B, his university in the real world. This school of his had a tradition that the dormitory students were used to. A basketball game between dorm buildings.
As he remembered, Andy's team from building B did have a match with building A's team.
"Cheer up Andy!."
"Building B is the winner!."
"Give us the win!"
Along the way Andy received words of encouragement and hope from every person the two passed.
"This is reality." I was back.
"Yeah, yeah, stop with the nonsense and get playing!" Leonard pushed Andy into his team's entourage.
Before they knew it, they had reached the indoor court. The crowd filled every bench, cheering on their team. The opposing team was also waiting on the other side of the field.
"We're waiting for you Andy, what took you so long? You didn't forget there was a match today did you?" The team captain scolded Andy.
Andy scratched his head. "Sorry captain, I was too lost in my dreams."
"Mn, never mind, go change your uniform."
"Okay!" Andy quickly changed his clothes. His tall body with perfect abs was exposed to the girls' eyes making them blush.
Andy smiled as he looked at his body. This was indeed his real body in the real world. Not the body of a little boy with red hair. So it was just a dream.
"You have to cheer up Andy! I got a message that your brother is watching too!" Leonard shamelessly shouted from the audience place among the girls.
"Are you Andy's friend?"
"Do you have his number, can I have it?"
Andy immediately heard the girls asking Leonard.
"Hehe, of course I know him. I even share a room with him."
Hm, yeah, that's the kind of person Leonard is. He likes to be surrounded by girls instead of playing basketball with his friends.
Andy lifted his head and looked for someone. Leonard said that his brother was watching. There he was.
On the second floor, leaning against the railing. A man wearing a business suit with a stern, cold face. His brother but with a different mother. James.
Andy thought this was the first time his brother had come to watch his match. He became more excited.
The match started soon. Capitalizing on his height and skill, Andy easily controlled the field. Making his team able to lead the game. The crowd cheered with every point scored. It reminded Andy of a dream he had not long ago.
The festive atmosphere, the screams of the audience that sometimes give goosebumps. A familiar atmosphere.
Suddenly there was a scream in the audience. Some benches were on fire. Everyone panicked and ran away. The fire alarm blared loudly and the game was immediately stopped, everyone had to be evacuated. Like a beehive being destroyed, all the bees flew away.
Andy looked up to find James in the midst of the panic.
"Andy, what are you waiting for? Everyone needs to be evacuated!" Leonard came and pulled him.
"Stop right there, you can't go anymore." Andy froze after hearing this voice. He stiffly turned around.
"What do you mean?!, Everyone gets an evacuation warning!. Why are you preventing us from leaving?!. Who are you?" Leonard snapped at the person in the way.
"I'm not talking to you. Go back Yoshihiro, Sensei is looking for you." Shigaraki Tomura with many hands attached to her body was blocking the exit.
"Look, I found a handsome man. Hihihi." Giggles could be heard from the little girl carrying the knife, Toga. In the girl's hands, James, who Andy had been looking for, could only stand still as a knife was almost stuck to his neck.
"James!" Andy shouted. "Let him go!"
"Sure, if you come back." Shigaraki answered easily. Behind her Kurogiri's black mist appeared and blocked all exits.
"Yo, this is my first debut. And you're telling me to just burn a chair?. Why don't I just roast these people?" From behind the burning fire came a man, Dabi. The man spouted blue flames that burned all the benches surrounding the field.
Now Andy and all the remaining students were trapped in the middle of the hot blue flames.
"Andy, what did that man mean? Who's Yoshihiro, as far as I know there's no Japanese in our dorm." Leonard asked while continuing to stare at Shigaraki and Dabi. The crowd was getting closer to the center.
"He..., they..." Andy panicked and was at a loss for what to say. How could Shigaraki have gotten here? She was just a character in an anime. Then again, that guy also brought his accomplices.
"You know them?" Leonard gave Andy a sharp look.
Andy also stared at Leonard, about to tell him the truth he knew. Leonard suddenly disintegrated into ashes without a sound. Among the falling ashes Andy saw Shigaraki with his hand raised.
Andy's eyes widened with shrinking pupils. "LEONARD!!!! You killed him!!!" Andy stared at the ashes scattered between his shoes. His heart was beating fast and cold sweat was pouring out. Just a few seconds and the Leonard who had just spoken to him was gone.
"That's because you took too long to answer." Shigaraki patted her hands as if feeling dirty. "Even Sensei is getting impatient."
Then All for one appeared from behind Kurogiri's fog. "Why did you leave Yoshihiro, where is your loyalty?. You're not the Yoshihiro I know. Cheater!, give me back Yoshihiro!."
Without further ado All for one used his quirk and made a plasma gun. Shooting all the students behind Andy.
Shuut shuut shuut
"NO!. Stop it!!! You're killing them!!!" Andy frantically shouted. All of his friends were being killed right in front of him, how could he not be scared and panic.
"Why are you panicking so much, it's just the beginning." On All for one's eyeless face suddenly appeared a lump, which then turned into a Sharingan. Not an ordinary Sharingan, but a Mangekyo Sharingan.
All for one's body was then enveloped in orange chakra. The ones that gathered more and more, then formed a seventy meter tall whole body, that was Susanoo.
The roof of the indoor court collapsed because it was unable to prevent Susanoo's huge body. With Susanoo's body, All for one began to trample everything while laughing madly.
Meanwhile Andy kept hysterically yelling for it to stop. He even started to cry.
"Yoshihiro, you only have two choices. Them, or us. If you don't choose us, then I will eliminate them so that you have no choice but to choose us." Shigaraki's hand almost touched James' cheek.
Andy felt instantly tired. On the one hand there was All for one who was destroying his school and possibly his world. While on the other hand there was Shigaraki who insisted on taking him back with James as a threat.
But Andy has already returned to his world. Why are the villains so persistent in pursuing him in a different world?.
"Too long." Shigaraki's hand immediately squeezed James' neck. The last thing Andy saw before James turned into ashes was James' silent words.
James said. "Still life, Andy."
"JAMES!!!! No!!!" Andy immediately fell to his knees when he saw the seconds of James' body disintegrating into ashes.
"Nagato!" Andy looked up slowly at the call.
Susanoo's giant body was suddenly hit by something and fell down. "I'm coming to save you, you have to survive until I get there."
That voice, as if it had heard it before. Who? Andy thought in a daze.
Then there was someone who beat up the other villains after destroying Susanoo All for one. Toga was shocked and Dabi tried to fight back. Shigaraki watched vigilantly with Kurogiri while waiting for an opening. But the men were still defeated and then fled.
The man who fought the villains approached Andy who seemed to collapse at any moment. Yellow hair with his familiar signature smile.
"Nagato?, Nagato!. Can you hear me? Wake up Nagato boy!."
Nagato boy?, Is it All Might?, Is it really?.
....
"Nagato boy! Wake up!!!"
Nagato immediately opened his eyes and breathed deeply as if he was suffocating. His rhinegar activated as soon as he woke up due to the feeling of tension and alertness.
"Nak Nagato, did you have a nightmare?" All Might in skinny mode was holding Nagato's shoulder. Looking at him with a worried gaze.
Dream?
"Are you alright Nagato boy?. Do you need a drink?" All Might offered generously.
"It's okay, I'm okay. It was a dream, it was just a dream." Nagato closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead tiredly.
"Are you sure you're okay? I'll get you a warm drink." All Might got up and went to the kitchen.
What an absurd dream. How could I not be able to distinguish between dreams and reality. And again how did All for one get the Sharingan? Nagato rubbed his head and got up to wash his face.
Nguung!
Nagato immediately stopped moving. It happened again, his right eye suddenly became blurry and lost its focus. This began to happen frequently since his eyes were hit by Bakugo's explosion.
Recovery Girl checked his eyes. But there was no abnormality. Recovery Girl said that it was just momentary blindness due to the bright light when Nagato saw Bakugo's explosion up close.
Recovery Girl also gave Nagato some drops in case his eyes felt uncomfortable once in a while.
Nagato sat back down and took the eye drops from the table. After getting two drops of the medicine, his vision started to clear up again.
Nagato looked around to test his vision. The guest room of the All Might apartment was now like his own room. Various typical boy items filled the originally empty guest room.
There were various shoes and hats. Toys, basketballs, reading books as well as painting equipment, there was even a guitar that Present Mic had lent him at the office back then was also in Nagato's room. But what Nagato liked the most were the various types and kinds of jackets. Which of course were mostly red. Somehow in this world he felt very obsessed with the color red.
All Might returned with a steaming glass in his hand. "Here, drink this first."
Nagato drank the liquid in the glass without asking.
Nagato almost returned the liquid in his mouth back into the glass. But he forced himself to swallow the liquid. Nagato peeked at the contents of the glass, inside was a green liquid.
It turned out to be warm spinach juice without any additions. Pure spinach juice.
It was a good thing Nagato didn't spit it out right away. He never liked any kind of vegetable or fruit juice. But he was very fond of lemon juice, sweet or sugarless. It seemed like in this world his preferences didn't change either.
"Thank you, uncle." Nagato put the glass down immediately after finding out the contents.
"Are you feeling better already? If you take a shower soon. I've made porridge with vegetables for breakfast." All Might walked out of the room.
Nagato sighed when he heard the word vegetable porridge. He was already tired of the bland porridge. But now he added vegetables, one of his biggest enemies.
"Oh yeah, I got some good news for you. Recovery Girl said that from now on you can have a little spice in your porridge. So I've added some salt to the porridge. You don't have to be afraid of eating bland porridge anymore. I know you don't like it." All Might smiled and closed the door.
"You should finish quickly before the porridge gets cold." All Might's voice came from behind the door.
Is it just me or is All Might really being warm like an old man? Nagato blinked in confusion. Maybe it's because he just woke up.
Nagato shook his head and entered the bathroom.
....
All Might stared at the door of Nagato's room before opening the cell phone and calling.
Tut tut tut
After who knows how many times the sound of tut tut tut the call was then connected.
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Can't you say good morning, Aizawa-san?" All Might scratched her cheek.
"Good morning too, hoam... So what's up?. I still have work to do."
"Hm, never mind. I'll just explain at the office later."
"So what? Does this have anything to do with that boy? If it's an emergency, you can say it now."
"It's the reason why I called you so early in the morning. Yes, that... this morning my house shook like an earthquake."
"Huh? So..., so you felt an earthquake?"
"It wasn't as simple as that. Only my apartment shook. The house next to me didn't feel anything at all. And I've already asked the neighbors."
All Might heard the sound of something being pushed from the other side of the phone. "Is this that boy's doing? What did he do this time?"
"Nagato didn't do anything. He was just sleeping. But it seems like Nagato had a nightmare. All the things in my house almost shifted from their places. But the items in Nagato's room weren't affected by the vibrations at all. When I checked earlier his body was very stiff and had cold sweat. His hands were also clenched so tightly, I even had trouble opening them. So I called him to wake up. Then the vibrations stopped once Nagato woke up. But his left eye activated immediately, probably because of tension. I thought Nagato was going to attack me earlier."
"Hm, I can't give you advice without the Headmaster's approval, since it concerns that boy. You're right, just tell me at school later. I'll call a meeting."
Tut
The connection was cut off.
"At least say goodbye, Aizawa-san. Huh." All Might sighed. Aizawa-sensei was indeed a direct type of person. Never did that person mince words.
All Might stared at the door of Nagato's room again. What kind of dream could make Nagato use his quirk in the real world?.
