Chapter 55 - So if I stand in front of a speeding car...

Author's Note: Hello there everyone! I've been stuggeling for the past few days, debating how I should finish this part of the story as I wanted to give a wonderful conclusion. So as I sat down and wrote for many hours, contemplating I came up with this. i hope you will be satisfied. I already planned for the next so stay excited for more. With that I wish you a lot of fun with the following 2k words :).

H: "I can tell you that I am AfO's enemy. As long as you do not stop me from fighting him I won't attack you. Is that enough?"

With a judging gaze Allmight observed the short and armored individual in front of him.

Allmight: [Either this person is a child or a petite lady with no assets. Regardless I am sure that I can deal with the outcome. Despite that I should continue to observe it carefully.]

Meanwhile Hermann was having a short discussion with his system.

H: [Aren't you a quest giving system? If I have nothing to gain then give me a quest.]

H: [I have the feeling that you are getting lazy. You don't even bother to give specified rewards now.]

H: [So you give the rewards based on my wishes and behavior? How fascinating. Then as a reward I want to specify the lottery ticket]

H: [Then I want to specify a certain category from which possible rewards can be chosen.]

H: [OK.]

Tuning back in to the fight he saw a quite peculiar sight. All three of them simply stood around in the shape of a triangle while trying to figure out how to cope with this situation. Before he continued his internal conversation he made sure to raise his shield even higher while trying to make his movements seem as pacifistic as possible. When he allowed the system to continue their talks it immediately decided to question his intentions behind all of his previous actions.

H: [For the first part you have never even tried to scam me (although the prices on information was awful) and over the last years I have decided that you seem to be reliable enough to not shoot me in the back at every give opportunity. As for the second question see it as me repaying the debt I owe to Allmight for taking me in and training me by killing the strongest known evil since I believe that he wouldn't find anything more valuable than removing such a powerful antagonist.]

H: [Wrong! This is purely a rational decision and I hate owing people something.]

Luckily Hermann wore a helmet that hid most of his actions and expressions which didn't allow the other two combatants to observe his face. To them he seemed as focused as he had always been.

Finally Hermann decided that it was time for him to leave and so he decided AfO with everything he got. After quickly bashing with his shield he followed up with a stab to AfO's lower body who had already jumped back to avoid the shield bash causing both attacks to miss. Hermann slowly began to circled towards the right for what seemed to be an attack aimed at AfO's side. Seeing the opportunity Allmight decided to join by going left around AfO and blocking possible escape routes as well as restrict possibilities to evade Hermann's attacks.

As Allmight had already been a hero for a long time he decided to play a more supportive role which would allow him to conserve energy in case the armored individual might turn against him as well as allowing him to observe their fighting style. Additionally with his experience he could immensely improve their chances of winning.

Delivering a strong punch towards AfO's back he succeeded and managed to force AfO forwards towards Hermann. Stumbling due to the surprising blow from the back he staggered towards Hermann who delivered a strike with the lower rim of the shield which caused AfO to fall to the ground.

H: "You've been hit by!..."

He raised his sword and slashed downwards, decapitating AfO who was still in a state of shock. How could this have happened? Why did he freeze up and stop all of his actions? Why didn't he use his quirks to protect himself? Was he really that afraid of death? With a self-mocking smile on his face AfO died.

H: "...You've been struck by! A smooth criminal!"

Following this he began to laugh like crazy. The absurdity of the situation had just been to hilarious. One of the greatest warriors had just died because someone had pushed him a little. Truly a spectacle. With this action today had become one of his best memories. They had fought for some time and he had been pushed around but his enemy had died simply by practically stumbling into his sword.

Still laughing Hermann began to focus. After all five seconds was all he needed. He closed his eyes and hoped for no interruption. Allmight had looked shocked beyond belief so he didn't he would try anything troublesome.

One second passed.

Two seconds passed without interruptions.

Three seconds passed and Hermann could feel a tingling throughout his body.

Four seconds passed and Hermann felt the sensation increase as well as some pressure through his helmet. Ignoring everything he decided to focus fully the complicated process.

Five seconds passed and Hermann opened his eyes only to see a clear blue sky only lightly sprinkled with white fluffy clouds. The sun still shone directly above him. Strange. His helmet had limited his vision to attacks towards the top. And why did he hold his head towards the shy?

Looking down he saw Allmight holding his helmet in his hands looking at him with a shocked expression. Hermann was curious. What might he feel at this moment. Disappointment? Betrayal? Simply Sadness? Regret? Looking at him expressionlessly Hermann stored his equipment in the inventory and extended his right hand.

H: "Would you please hand back my helmet, father? That would be much appreciated."

H: [System why am I not teleporting?]

H: [Fine. How long?]

Sighing as he lowered his head for a second before looking back at the man who had raised him for many years. Finally Allmight gave back the helmet with a face where the shock of the revelation slowly began to fade only for the helmet to instantly disappear into the inventory once it touched Hermann's hand. Taking a deep breath Hermann decided to make it short as not much time was left.

H: "I guess it's time to say goodbye."

Allmight: "Goodbye? Why would we?"

H: "I have repaid you for your care and all the interesting memories we made."

With that he gestured towards the decapitated head on the floor of the battlefield that had come out roughly unscathed besides a few trenches from air blasts or sliding and a few holes where people had stood before the punched as strong as possible.

H: "Now there is not much time left as I have already completed what I sought out to do. With that I wish you farewell. I would have loved to talk about our ideology but my time has come."

Allmight: "But...how? What? I don't understand! You still are apart of my family! You are my son!"

With a quick chuckle Hermann replied:

H: "Perhaps it is for the best that you do not know. But I can promise you that you will never see me again. And I truly enjoyed my time as your son. It was quite pleasant."

Suddenly he heard something far away coming towards them at a fast pace. It was quite unusual as it seemed to far away to be noticed under normal circ.u.mstances and although he could not perceive with any of his senses he still somehow knew it was coming. A strange melody seemed to accompany it but as it drew closer he began to understand it as it got clearer and louder.

???: "...my mind. There's a flashing in my eyes. Don't you see my commission?"

H: [What is this? Where have I heard this before?]

???: "...The nation has gone running again. ..."

The system seemed afraid as it answered in a shaky voice

???: "…Can't you see now?..."

H: [Why would I be dead? What is this?]

???: "…Illusions,..."

???: "...Right into your mind. ..."

???: "...Deja vu!..."

At this moment various cars, trucks, tanks, vans, bikes, buses, carriages, rickshaws and more come from the roads all around them while planes of all shapes and sizes came dropping from all sides towards them, leaving no room for escape.

H: [Why are they here? What do they want?]

H: [So it didn't kill me previously because I just wasn't worth the effort?]

H: [What about other world wills?]

H: [Yeah I'm truly proud of it. It really outdid itself today]

Suddenly between the wall of vehicles he could make out the shape of the ever annoying kid that watched excitedly and seemed to write something in a small booklet as fast as possible.

H: [Should we scan him?]

H: [Well this is disappointing. Some of those stats are really low even compared to a civilian. And he has almost no skills that would help with fighting. How pathetic.]

H: [Holy...What is this? No wonder he always succeeds somehow. Do all protagonists have luck on that level?]

With that he faded from the world, leaving only crashing vehicles behind. Allmight had strangely evaded most of them but a splinter that shot of the crash site in front of him pierced his stomach on his left side, leaving a deep wound, considering Allmight's natural resistance it was truly a strange occurrence.
