Vetus Memorias.

{POV Ryuu.}

Let's just say being expelled from the school wasn't all that fun as I thought. Sure I was able to start work on the foundation of my empire but. I wasn't able to do the one thing I really wanted to do. I wasn't able to go on any of the dates I had planned to take with Mei or Tsuyu as they were both extremely busy with their own things.

I mean sure seeing the gang and a few new faces for training was awesome.

But I still wanted to spend time with Mei and Tsuyu, but it seems I was left broken hearted instead… So I decided to use my pain and suffering and put it into the others' training.

(Evil Laughter.)

Seeing a nervous Bakugou hanging around Uraraka was fun to watch as he sometimes got distracted by her from time to time, even eating a few solid punches to the face. Plus Uraraka's ability was rather strong in combat, especially when caught off guard. But the best part of seeing them train together was when the others caught them having moments with each other making them blush.

Seeing even Denki and Momo was a surprise as they decided to increase their strength. They even tried to invite a few others but it seemed that they had other plans. I was a little disappointed Deku didn't show up as it would have been a lot of fun to mess with the little shit.

Seeing Denki become fried was rather interesting to watch, especially when we increased the strength of the battery. But what surprised me further was the fact that Denki was actually pretty fucking smart. I found it hard to believe but when it came to anything with electricity or lightning he had me asking questions.

Momo, Momo on the other hand surprised the shit out of me. I've never seen anyone devour that much food and still ask for more with a bright smile. Mother took it as a challenge as she wanted to see how far she could take it. She was defeated in the end which Momo took in stride… then passed out. Besides her eating I was rather impressed with the things she was able to create with her ability… she was like a walking armory.

I also made sure to trade blows with everyone as well to increase their combat experience. But when Denki, Momo, and Uraraka saw this part of the training they started to pale. As they witnessed the reason why everyone else who trained with me was so strong.

Things on the villain side were rather bleak as the only thing I did was train with the Nomu's whenever I wasn't training the others. Stain kept me up to date with anything that was happening in the underworld and anyone who could be a possible ally. While Blackmist had agreed to join me after witnessing Tomura turn another group of potential allies to dust… for the fifth time.

Nezu kept quiet, only showing up a week before the finals for U.A as he gave me a giant book and just told me to read it then left without saying anything else. The damn book was filled with all things related to education as well as his own personal takes and notes on each subject or anything worth note.

I was also finally able to figure out what Mei and Tsuyu were so busy with as Tsuyu was the one who spilled the beans. It seemed that they were having their own specialized training as well as working on the fortress. Mei said she'd make it up to me personally when the fortress was finally complete with a shameless smile that made me a little eager. While Tsuyu said she'd make it up to me soon with a slight blush on her face, as Mei started to tease her.

I just smiled and gently embraced both Mei and Tsuyu before they decided to lock themselves away to prepare for their end of the term finals. I did the same as I took the rest of the week and tried to read the giant ass book Nezu left me.

I was only able to get a quarter of the way through it before the day of the finals came. The damn thing was filled with more shit than I thought. I even had to personally visit Nezu to ask very specific questions. He didn't hide his satisfied grin on his face either as he made sure to rub it in my face whenever he could… smartass. But before I left his office he did ask me to join the exams as a guest but I decided against it as I just received a call from Blackmist.

"Hey man what's up?" I smiled and waved goodbye to Nezu as he did the same. But the moment I left his office I became serious as Blackmist normally never calls as we've only communicated through text.

"Something big come up, or did Tomura do something really stupid?" I asked with a serious voice as I started to head to the normal location.

"Yes, it seems a very high ranking broker has recommended two promising allies. Plus I'd rather not watch Tomura turn them to dust," Blackmist said with a sigh before he started to lightly chuckle. "Plus when are you going to introduce that friend of yours to me Ryuu?"

"Soon, my friend, soon. The fortress is essentially complete as I'm currently waiting for the final addition to the defenses. All I've been told is that it'll be complete soon." I said with a smile as we both continued to talk for a bit before I reached the location bringing me into the bar.

Tomura was already waiting at the bar staring at a picture of Deku with an intense glare. Aw it seems he has a boy crush on, hero boy. I wonder if Deku feels the same.

Blackmist seemed happy as he started to pour me a drink I didn't recognize. Which seemed to bring Tomura back to reality as he turned to look at me with a hate filled gaze as the picture of Deku he was holding started to turn to ash.

"Why the fuck is he here Blackmist!?" Tomura said with rage as he turned to look at Blackmist who ignored him as he was occupied with finishing my drink.

"Well for starters why don't you use that thing in your head. Oh wait you can't," I mocked Tomura as I sat down at the bar as Blackmist finished making the drink. "I'm here so you don't turn potential allies into dust, you child."

I could hear the grinding of Tomura's teeth as I felt his glare. But I was no longer paying attention as I was more interested in the drink in front of me as I couldn't recognize it.

It didn't have a stable color as it seemed to change its color from different angles, and had a mellow smell that didn't burn the nose. But when I lifted the cup it had a surprisingly high density to it. But when it hit my tongue I almost dropped it, as pleasant memories from my past life started to flow through my mind.

"So what do you think? It's my own recipe," Blackmist said with pride in his voice. "I was planning on never opening it as I didn't think I would find a good opportunity to open it."

"It's incredible Blackmist," I smiled as I looked at Blackmist. "It's the best drink I've ever had. Does it have a name?"

Blackmist shook his head and sighed. "Unfortunately it doesn't. I couldn't come up with something suitable."

"Vetus Memorias." I said taking another drink.

"Vetus Memorias? I like it," Blackmist said with a happy voice. "What's it mean?"

"Old memories. Thank you Blackmist, this should only be shared among our friends and family." I said with a smile before turning to look at the still angry and fuming Tomura.

"You'll start to ruin the mood if you continue to glare at me like that Tomura. Besides, it seems as if you should calm down as our guests are about to arrive."

Tomura continued to stare before letting out a growl before sitting at the furthest seat at the bar. I just continued to slowly enjoy my drink with a relaxed smile on my face as the door to the bar opened slowly.

"You've been the talk of the town for days on end. Everybody's buzzing over how something huge is about to begin." A plain looking man smoking a cigarette and glasses said with a relaxed manner as two others entered behind him.

One was an aloof tall pale young man with a lanky build. He was wearing a dark ripped jacket, white shirt, and black pants. Black hair, thin turquoise eyes that were heavily lidded. But the most interesting thing about his appearance was the gnarled, wrinkled, purple skin that covered a good chunk of his body.

"Seeing you in the flesh… you look creepy as hell." He said as he stared at Tomura before barely giving me a glance.

Well he seems to be pleasant company doesn't he.

But when I saw the other person I felt something inside of me that seemed to be drawn toward her. As I was finding it hard not to look.

Who in the Ancient is she and why do I feel so drawn towards her. I've literally just met her! Ancient, just what did you do to me!

She seemed to be quite the opposite as she looked cheerful and very energetic. She had fair skin with a slightly pretty blushing face. Bright yellow eyes that reminded me of a cat. She even seemed to have fangs like a vampire but they fit her completely. She had pale, dirty ash-blonde hair that was styled into two messy buns with wild strands of hair sticking out the back. She was even wearing what seemed to be a high school uniform with an oversized cardigan with long hem and cuffs and pockets with trinkets in one of the pockets.

"Whooooa, so you're buddies of the great Stainy, right hand dude and the guy drinking at the bar!? Tell me you guys are!!" She asked with enthusiasm in her voice before bringing her hands to her face while smiling.

"Let me join, too! Let me join the Villain Alliance!"
