Extra long~

Sera

It's already night and Skinny Might decided it's time to go home.

I will also start my plans tonight.

We are walking side by side and I looked up with my enhanced eyesight, Night Vision, Hawk Eyes, and Cat's Vision.

Even though I haven't found a sensing-type quirk but with these quirks and skills that I got, I was able to somewhat fix my eyesight although it's still a little blurry at least it's better compared to when I first started where I can only see blurry figures.

When I saw Skinny Might is not paying attention to me...

Activated: Camouflage, the art of stealth, thin presence.

It only takes a second and my presence disappeared and only those who pay close attention to me can find me unless they have thermal vision like me or a sensing-type quirk.

I give one last look to Skinny Might's back before turning around and use speed-related skills.

I'm sorry for not saying Goodbye...All Might.

After running for a while and entering a dark alley, Sera stopped and release all her camouflage skills.

She just stands there for a moment and felt a little sad about parting with All Might without saying goodbye. She got attached to the man, of course, not in a romantic way but as a friend or Servant(?) because of how kind he is and she enjoyed his company and how he spoiled her.

She shook her head and starts walking in a certain direction.

With her Night Vision, she doesn't have any problem walking in such a dark place.

She stops when she finally found what she is looking for.

A sleeping girl wearing tattered clothes. She has beautiful red hair, a pretty face, and a well-developed body you will not expect from a 14-year-old girl.

But the most notable thing about her is the fact that she is quirkless.

Quirkless

A person without superpowers or quirk and such person will have a very difficult life when he/she is labeled as Quirkless in this kind of world.

Bullying, Abuse, and Low treatment, people will look at you with disdain and tells you that you are worthless.

Heh~

Sera can't help but laugh at a such way of thinking. They think they are superior to a quirkless person when their quirk can't do anything but extend their fingers and nothing else.

Truly a funny world...

She gets rid of those thoughts and focuses on the girl in front of her.

She didn't wake her up because she needs to do some preparations first.

Sera activates the skill [Quirk: Illusion Maker]

It is a quirk where you can put one person inside of an Illusion. It is a good ability but it has many requirements and limitations such as she can only use it on one person and she needs to be at least one meter from the target or else the illusion will be broken. It is also very fragile and someone can shatter it when they slap themselves.

After doing all of this, she wakes up the red-haired girl.

.

.

.

Her name is Rias Gremory.

But maybe, only Rias now because her family disowned her.

She was happy and cheerful when she was a child and her parents are always kind to her until-

"You're daughter doesn't have any quirk. She is quirkless." That moment Rias felt like her world crumbles when she hears what the doctor says.

And that's only the start of her suffering.

Her parent's attitude changed and she felt a distance appear between them. She doesn't understand why such a thing happened. She thought they were just upset that she is quirkless.

So, she didn't lament being quirkless for so long and she does anything she can to make up for having no quirk.

She studied hard and lessen her playing time. She developed some skills like playing instruments or drawing but the distance between her and her parents didn't disappear.

They always gave her a cold shoulder and only gave her necessity but most of the time ignore her.

Rias didn't give up and thought maybe learning martial arts will do the trick.

She started training but the other students always give harsh treatment when they found out that she is quirkless.

Thankfully, the master of the house is not the same and treats her just like the other students and stops them when he saw her getting bullied.

She was thankful to him and felt sad and always asked herself...

Why?

Why are they being mean to her?

Why her parents didn't love her anymore?

Just because she's quirkless? Or because she can't become a hero like her parents that's why their attitude changes?

Why?

She was sad but she didn't give up and persevered. She pushes forward and continues training.

She endured all the bullying and doesn't fight back because she knows the principal will side with the bullies and her parents will not do anything to save her.

So she endured, and endure, and endure more, and then...

She snaps.

She fights back and beat the bullies so hard that they became crippled.

The Parents are mad about what happened to their daughters and the principal directly kick her out of the school.

And for her parents...

After being beaten, they kick her out of the house and disown her.

And now here she is.

In a dirty alley filled with nothing but trash, a perfect place for someone like her who is worthless and unwanted.

Rias

[Wake up]

Hmm?

Rias felt like someone is shaking her and immediately open her eyes and stands up while getting in a stance.

"Who?!" She shouted and looked around but she didn't anyone or anything.

[Calm down.]

The woman's voice appeared again. It feels 'like she is talking directly in her mind.

"Who are you?! show yourself?!" Rias didn't do what the unknown voice said and become warier.

[I repeat, Calm down. I will not talk if you don't calm down, little girl.]

The voice resounded again in her mind but didn't listen to the woman's voice.

[Sigh~ Just think about it little girl, why do you think I will go to so much trouble when I can just force a quirkless person like you?]

She felt angry when the unknown voice reminded her of being quirkless but she still answered her question.

"Because you're a very suspicious person."

[Yes, and?]

"...And you want something from a quirkless like me."

[Ding~Ding~Ding! Correct hehe~] The woman's voice turned playful and then continues.

[More precisely, I want to create a deal with you.]

"A deal? But I have nothing in me except my body which I will not sell no matter what." Rias said with a firm voice.

She didn't fall that low to willingly sell her body. It is better to die than do such a thing.

[Don't worry little girl, I have no desire for your body.

And the reason why I don't show myself is because it depends on your answer whether I will show myself to you or leave this place like this conversation didn't happen in the first place.] The voice paused waiting for her answer.

She hesitated for a moment but she nodded in the end.

"I would like to hear the deal."

[Great! But before that, I would like to hear about your past.]

"What?why?" Rias frowned when she heard the woman's request.

[I can't tell you the reasons also it's not like you will lose anything, right?

I will give you ten seconds and if you don't answer. I will take that as refusal and leave you alone.]

[1]

[2]

The woman's voice started to count and Rias felt conflicted about whether to tell her or not.

[9]

In the end, she gritted her teeth and agree.

When Rias think about what the woman said, She felt like the voice is right. She will not lose anything when she tells her past.

So, Rias tells her what she has gone through. The attitude of her parents, how they most of the time ignore her, the bullying, the beating, how everyone treated her like she was trash, and how she ended up in this situation.

"...and here I am, thrown away by my own parents without hesitation," Rias said with her eyes full of tears and her hands clenched so hard that it's starting to hurt.

Sera sighed when she hears what Rias had gone through. It's sad how humans treated fellow humans who are different from them. Even some of those who have a transformation quirk is being oppressed just because they don't look "human" at all.

She wants to break the illusion and comfort the crying girl but she steeled herself and waits for her to calm down.

After a while, Rias finally calm down and wipe her tears.

"I-I'm sorry for c-crying like that."

[Don't worry about that little Rias, it's okay to cry to let out your bottled emotions from time to time.] Sera said in a gentle voice.

"T-thank you." Rias felt a little embarrassed and quite touched when she hears the change gentle tone of the voice.

[I will ask you the last question before I tell you the deal and I have you to tell me the truth because I will know if you lie Little Rias.] Sera's voice turned serious and waits for her response.

Rias didn't say anything and just nods her head with a serious expression on her face.

[If you gain a powerful quirk and meet your parents and those who oppress, what will you do?]

Rias was surprised when she heard the question and fell into deep thought.

'What would I do?' She asks herself and the faces of those people who make her suffer flash through her mind.

She gritted her teeth, her eyes sharpened and she spat a single word full of anger.

"Kill!"

Sera was not surprised by her answer. The girl suffered for her whole life unreasonably.

But it's still a question of whether she can end someone's life or not.

[I see, then I will tell now my deal, little Rias.

I will give you a quirk and in return, you will become my subordinate and will follow my orders.

Of course, I will not order you that will go against your will.

So, I will tell you now that some of my orders will be involved killing some evil people. Make sure to think carefully.] Sera said carefully making sure the girl in front of her will not miss a single word.

"Y-you can give me quirk?!" Rias asked in surprise.

[Think carefully.] Sera didn't answer her question.

Rias fell into deep thought hearing her reply.

After a while, The red hair turned serious and answered...

"I accept!"
