18 Timeskip

(Timeskip five years)

(Narration POV)

Highly dangerous and serious planning was underway at Kumo Company. Six people sat at the table. It was silent; everyone was on edge. The atmosphere was tense. Suddenly, a humanoid bug resembling a bee exclaimed, "UNO!" and placed a card on the table.

The person next to her, dressed in a classic Japanese maid uniform, burst into laughter. "Fufufu. Plus two." Next was a humanoid bug resembling a warrior in black armor. He said with a deep voice, "Hmm, plus two."

Beside him, a purple centipede with a human face said, "Plus two," and threw a card on the table. Next to her was a woman who couldn't speak but smiled with stars in her eyes, adding another card, this time plus four. Finally, a humanoid ant dramatically threw a card on the table. "Plus... four."

Humanoid bee, Apito, started screaming, "Naniiiiii!" Next to her, Entoma looked at her with a devilish laughter. "Muhohaha, UNO!" She threw a card on the table.

...

(Entoma POV)

During my five years of confinement, I had nothing to do. Initially, it was good to do nothing, but then it became boring. We watched television for quite some time, but it got old. So our weeks alternated between television, board games, and training.

Once, a board game became too dangerous, and we almost tore each other apart. That game was called Monopoly. 'I fear no man, but that thing. It scares me.' So, we banned it and promised never to play it again.

Today was an exceptional day. Master is coming, and he's granting me freedom again. I waited for a few hours until I received a message from the reception. A big man in a suit with white hair entered and said the secret password indicating the Master. Probably used some ilusion Quirk. Soon, I heard footsteps. Master entered the room. I bowed. "Welcome, Master. I was expecting you." Master just gestured for me to come closer. So, I approached, and he began stroking my head.

"Little one, I need you to come with me alone, without your bugs. I need to introduce you to my successor." I just bowed. "Yes, Master, and when do we leave?"

He snapped his fingers. "Now." A black portal appeared behind him. Master extended his hand. "Let's go." I nodded. Suddenly, I was in Garaki's laboratory. Behind Master stood a man in a suit made of black smoke. "This is Kurogiri; he will be my successor's subordinate." I just looked at him. Kurogiri bowed. "It's an honor, esteemed lady." Master looked at me. "Wait here for a moment. I'll be back with Gigantomachia."

Master looked at Kurogiri, and he created a portal. Master disappeared into it. There was an awkward silence between me and Kurogiri, who remained. I began to ignore him and look around for that senile old man. After a few minutes, I found him behind the computer again.

I slowly approached him and wanted to scare him, but he spoke without turning. "Hello, Entoma, what do you want?" I looked around the walls, sure that there was a camera. I had nothing to do and was quite hungry. I answered with a sweet voice, "Food." My voice surprised him for a moment. But then he immediately started typing. "To the right of the door." I just nodded and took my leave.

In the room, Master was already with Kurogiri and the giant Gigantomachia, who had a radio around his neck. I looked at Gigantomachia and began waving the hand I took from Garaki. "Hello, Gigantomachia, it's been quite a while. When did we last see each other?" Gigantomachia just flashed a toothy smile. "You have a different voice." I just smiled, although it couldn't be seen. "My quirk."

Gigantomachia started looking around. "Where are your bugs?" I just looked at him. "At home." As we agreed, I heard something approaching; it was Garaki on one of his devices. And Garaki looked at Master, who was sitting at the table. I stood behind him. "All For One, how long until Shigaraki arrives here?" Master just smiled. "In a moment."

'This is my chance.' From my sleeve, a complete tea set emerged. 'Of course, these are bugs that have been transformed into this beautiful tea set.'

"Master, would you like some tea?" Master smiled. "Certainly." I looked at Gigantomachia. "Do you want something to drink too?" Gigantomachia just said, "No," and I nodded. Garaki started shouting. "And what about me? You didn't ask me!" I just looked at him. "Do you want to have your head on a plate?" My spider leg emerged from behind and ran down Garaki's neck. Garaki started sweating.

...

After a few seconds, the door opened. We all looked. All For One sat in a chair with tea in his hand. I, Gigantomachia, and Garaki stood behind him, as proper subordinates.

A young man entered the room with blue hair. He had fourteen embalmed hands on his body, all positioned so they're holding onto him on different parts of his body, and wore regular black clothes.

Behind him was Kurogiri. The little dwarf walked slowly as if the place belonged to him. 'I'd like to take him down.' He sat at the table opposite Master. The little one looked at Master. "Master, why did you summon me?"

Master just smiled. "For two reasons. You already know Garaki, but you don't know these two yet. They are my direct subordinates. The big one behind me is Gigantomachia, and the one right next to me is Entoma. As my successor, Garaki joined you, but that doesn't mean these two will join you right away."

"You'll have to convince them to join you. But not now; today, I just showed them to you." Master sipped his tea. I bowed and started replenishing it. As I filled it, I felt someone looking at me. It was the little dwarf; he wanted tea too.

Something crossed my mind. I created a bug mug. But this one was a bit different. I placed it on the side of the dwarf and started filling it. The dwarf took it and wanted to take a sip. But quickly, spikes shot out of the mug, narrowly missing his neck. Drops of blood started flowing. Master looked at me. "Entoma!" I just bowed. "Sorry, Master, a little test." I felt a small bloodlust. I saw the dwarf seething with anger. Every second, he would jump at me. And he kept muttering something about NPC, although I don't even know what that is.

"Tomura, the other reason I called you is that this year All Might will start teaching at UA. Start preparing."

"Yes, Master," the dwarf replied and left.
