Chapter 28: We’re out (2)
—
–Nighteye–
“Ssip…” he sipped coffee from the cup while his gaze was fixed on the television.
[“So, All Might. Why did you and Sir Nighteye separate?’] A reporter asked All Might, who seemed very uncomfortable with the question. [“Please, just say something! You’ve been avoiding this topic for almost 2 years!”]
An unintentional sigh left Nighteye’s nostrils as he watched All Might turn down the reporter.
Just recently, Sir Nighteye stopped being All Might’s sidekick.
The news shook the entirety of Japan. What might have happened between these two famous partners for them to go their separate ways?
Not many people knew, but the reason was the aftermath of All Might’s fight with All for One.
Sir Nighteye, with his <Future Sight>, had seen All Might’s ending. He had tried convincing All Might to quit Heroism, but of course – All Might didn’t listen. He, in the end, was the Symbol of Peace.
But we don’t talk about that, do we? Everyone already knows about this. There is another reason for this sudden mention; Sir Nighteye has seen something else.
Destruction.
Devastation.
Cataclysm.
Slaughter.
He saw all these horrors in his visions of the future.
Someone was screaming, someone was crying, someone was giving up with their bodies under the debris of buildings.
There was death and destruction everywhere, nothing made sense – reality itself was distorting.
Amongst all this – within a sea of flames, a silver-haired man was on his knees with a fiery blade coming out of his chest. Beside him, a bunch of women were lying – some of them had their limbs cut off while some were… dead.
The last thing he saw before the vision ended was a black cat the size of a skyscraper starting to rampage around the destroyed world…
The vision ended here.
After this, he wasn’t confident enough to look too far in the future again, just like in canon – albeit this time the trauma was a lot more stronger. So he didn’t get any chance to research this future a bit more.
Ignoring the trauma, many questions popped up in his mind. Who was that silver-haired man? The vision had ‘focused’ on his dying figure, things were shown from his perspective, so he was clearly not just any normal guy caught in the middle of the destruction.
More so – Nighteye was looking into All Might’s future, so the things he was supposed to see should be related to All Might. The vision of destruction came after he saw All Might’s death, so it means he wasn’t seeing All Might’s future anymore… his quirk never acted this way, so why now?
Unsurprisingly, for a smart person like Nighteye, he easily deduced the reason – it was, One for All.
His <Future Sight> wasn’t looking into All Might’s future, but rather into that man’s quirk, One for All’s future.
Was the silver-haired man the next holder of the One for All…?
He could deduct some other possibilities, but this one still seemed most likely since All Might is already looking for a successor.
Unfortunately, “silver-haired man” is a very vague description – he can’t find that person who should be a teenager right now with that much info. The farther into the future Sir Nighteye goes, the more blurry and fractured the future becomes, so he wasn’t even sure of his facial structure.
He wanted to meet that guy right now and try to stop that future from taking place. This was not an All-for-One level threat, this was beyond it.
But that seems impossible with his trauma that is stopping him from seeing too far into the future…
So he would try to make some changes – for real. This is not a city-level danger, nor is it a mere country-level danger – this is a world-level danger. He was hopeless for the last two years, convincing himself that changing the future is impossible. But things are different now.
He has finally decided it is time to start moving – since the silver-haired individual is supposed to lose, what if he changes the future and makes another person get One for All instead?
Sounds impossible from his previous use of his quirk – the future he sees is unchangeable – but that’s what he would try to prove wrong.
The first thing?
He needs to stop being a bitch about All Might. He… needs to talk to All Might and explain this vision of his.
The future must change.
And thus…
In this timeline – that was how the butterfly flapped its wings.

She was panting as she ran through the crowd, avoiding rubbing shoulders with others – especially the males, she kept walking hurriedly while her eyes brushed past the faces around her.
Where did he go?
For God’s sake, they are supposed to return to the mansion before midnight! It’s already night, and now she can’t find him?
He even took Kurai with him, what the hell?
Did he go on one of his mysterious adventures? That’s both probable and improbable knowing his personality.
They were in the middle of the road, he wasn’t supposed to move for his “adventures” right now!
Her eyes brushed past a roadside ramen shop, moving to the right- she stopped.
She turned her gaze back to the ramen shop as she saw a familiar back. She rubbed her temples and walked closer to him.
Touring over a teen-looking figure, she crossed her arms with a frown on her face. “Young master.”
Hearing her, all the customers eating ramen looked at her, some immediately had lit-up eyes.
“Whoa… Is that a cat-girl?”
Some people gasped, but Kimi ignored them all. She instead glared at the white head that turned back to her slowly.
He was wearing a white cheongsam top and a pair of round sunglasses, which he dropped down to his nose-bridge by lowering his head. Light came from the ramen shop and lit his face and eyes.
