Throne Of Time

"Argh ..."

Suddenly a voice exclaimed at that grunt of pain, "Oh, but what a surprise to see you here and from what I see ... you are not in very good shape, isn't that so Shigaraki-kun ~?"

"Damn ... damn ... damn ..." Shigaraki, once he saw that his plan was not going the right way, immediately escaped through the Kurogiri portal. Only he did not come out entirely unscathed. Aizawa managed to strike several times, and he couldn't do much because the hero canceled his Quirk.

And only now that he's back can he let those grunts of pain out of his face but, he never expected that once he got back to this place that he believes is the safest place, to meet probably the most hateful person he knows, but he doesn't want to pay attention to that provocation thrown at him.

For the moment, he wants to think about this defeat by the students of the U.A. High School, the "brats" who managed to foil his plan ... not to mention that girl, Shigaraki thought, the mere thought of that red and black gothic dress almost doesn't drive him crazy.

That derisive smile of her towards him as he fought against Aizawa … he can't forgive her in the slightest, he just can't.

Besides, All Might too ... the teacher told him that All Might had become weaker, much weaker, but from today's experience, that strength does not seem to have diminished one iota. That force so monstrous that it managed to roll out the Nomu created specifically to face All Might and come out as the winner.

He cannot believe it, yet what he has seen with his own eyes cannot be denied.

"Come on ~ don't ignore me ~" that annoying female voice arrived again in Shigaraki's ears who, only this time raised his red eyes to meet that gloomy fog that seems to belong to his partner Kurogiri.

"What is it ... Nightmare!" he replied in a really, really irritated voice in the direction of the person by the name of Nightmare.

The Kurumi clone seeing that the boy finally answered her, without extending a hand to help him or anything else, continued to look at him from top to bottom in a condescending way. That look that Nightmare was giving him immediately broke the boy's patience and, just as he was about to open his mouth, finally, the person he was about to yell at continued.

"Surely you can't have failed so miserably, there must have been something more, isn't it, Shigaraki-kun ~?"

Shigaraki wants to yell at her, but noticing that the TV placed on the counter lit up, he immediately changed his decision and attitude. In fact, without thinking twice, he said, "Teacher!" together with Kurogiri, who, in the meanwhile, that all of that was happening, remained to observe the relationship between their third member and his future boss.

He did not intervene before to stop Nightmare, because what Shigaraki has to face in the future will be all the looks and behaviors of different subordinates. If a single subordinate and companion almost sends him into a frenzy, let alone in the future, this is also a test to improve the character and anger problems.

"From what I heard right now from Nightmare, your ȧssignment didn't go right at all, did it?"

Shigaraki wants to say something but, he can't find the right words, so, with a dry and guilty answer, he replied, "Yes, we couldn't complete the task ..."

Shigaraki's response does not seem to have affected the voice negatively too much. On the contrary, that tone is more than anything else surprised. After all, all the preparations they made were there, and certainly, they cannot be denied.

"Could you tell me why you failed?" he asked with a certain "expectation."

"The plan ... the plan could have been fine if it weren't for that person ... that damned person practically thwarted the whole plan ... not to mention when you asked me to have reporters invade U.A. by breaking the gate ... even at that moment she intruded ... "

Hearing this "person" being mentioned so often made the voice very curious. Even if Shigaraki has behavioral problems, just like a child, this does not mean that he cannot reason with his mind.

"Teacher ... I think you heard her name ... her name is Kurumi Tokisaki ... it's the same person you asked me to kill with the students ..."

What Shigaraki said this time triggered a certain movement in the voice coming from the TV. In fact, it came again but this time with a little more seriousness, "How did she make you fail!"

Shigaraki does not seem to have expected this change in tone of voice but, always with the usual tone, he replied, "In front of the gates she managed to conjure two firearms out of thin air, not to mention that she managed to notice me without me making any strange movements. While at the U.A., she conjured up a watch that possessed a strange "aura" around it ... it managed to slow down the speed of the Nomu in a frightening way ... "

Hearing this, the voice did not speak, only repeated the keywords that Shigaraki said during his speech, namely, "Ancient clock with a mysterious air and the two firearms" after repeating several times, the voice stopped and, with a little laugh, said, "Interesting!"

While all this was going on, Kurumi's clone did not dare interrupt even for a second. The person that was beyond the screen is not something she can afford to face, probably only the original body with Zafkiel, and the other abilities has the certainty of winning.

After about ten seconds of silence, the voice spoke again, "Kurogiri, can you confirm everything that happened to U.S.J as true?"

Kurogiri seems to have expected this question, immediately without waiting for a second; he answered with a dry "Yes!".

"Well, Nightmare instead ... how did the mission I ȧssigned you a few days ago go?"
