Chapter 37
As Kai exited the academy, a sense of intrigue tugged at him.
He had noticed a secretive gathering spot not far from the premises, where he suspected Midoriya and All Might were engaged in a private conversation.
His curiosity got the better of him, prompting him to venture closer to eavesdrop on their interaction.
In the hidden corner, Midoriya's voice quivered with emotion, his frustration and vulnerability evident. Tears welled up in his eyes as he spoke to All Might, his mentor and symbol of hope.
"I can't believe I messed up so badly, All Might. Your power... it slipped through my fingers. I feel so weak and useless,"
he admitted, his voice filled with a mixture of disappointment and self-doubt.
All Might, towering over Midoriya, leaned down to offer his guidance and reassurance.
"Young Midoriya, you mustn't be too hard on yourself. Gaining control over such an immense power takes time and dedication.
Remember, I believe in your potential. I believe that with enough training and perseverance, you will harness One For All to its fullest extent."
Midoriya's shoulders sagged as he struggled to believe in himself.
"But what if I can't do it? What if I let everyone down?"
His voice trembled as he voiced his deepest fears, his eyes glistening with unshed tears.
All Might's expression softened, a mixture of sympathy and determination in his eyes.
All Might's gaze held a mixture of compassion and conviction. "Midoriya, I've seen your potential. You have the heart of a hero, and that matters more than power alone. You can rise above this challenge."
However, Midoriya's resolve wavered. He shook his head, his expression conflicted.
"I appreciate your faith in me, All Might, but I can't keep putting myself and others in danger. I don't want to be responsible for causing harm. Maybe... maybe I'm not meant to have this power."
All Might's demeanor shifted, his encouragement unwavering even in the face of Midoriya's refusal.
"It's not about avoiding challenges, Midoriya. Heroes face adversity head-on, and they learn, grow, and protect. You have the potential to do that, too."
Midoriya's eyes held a mix of frustration and resignation.
"I don't want to rely on luck or others saving me all the time. I need to find another way to contribute."
All Might's gaze softened as he acknowledged Midoriya's concerns.
"I understand your worries, but remember, heroes aren't perfect. They face their fears and flaws, and they use them to become stronger. You're not alone in this journey."
As the conversation drew to a close, Midoriya's stance remained uncertain.
"I need time to think, All Might. This power... it's overwhelming, and I need to decide if I can handle it responsibly."
Leaving the hidden corner, Kai found himself walking along the bustling streets, his thoughts swirling with the weight of the changes he had brought about.
"So I did alter the course of events. It's quite fascinating how meddling with timelines can reshape destinies,"
he mused, his lips curling into a small smirk. His fingers tapped absentmindedly against his thigh as he mulled over the changes of his actions.
As he strolled, the realization hit him that Midoriya might not be attending UA Academy anymore.
"Judging by this turn of events, it's likely that Midoriya won't step foot into UA,"
he muttered to himself. A sense of amusement danced in his golden eyes, an acknowledgment of the control he now wielded over the narrative.
"I feel almost sinister, altering the lives of these characters. But then again, who can blame me? Power is the currency of this vast multiverse,"
he pondered, his voice laced with a mix of contemplation and intrigue.
"In the grand tapestry of this multiverse, every choice, every action, they all weave together to form the narrative,"
he mused, his tone contemplative.
"And yet, my role in this narrative is that of a catalyst, an agent of change."
A mixture of humility and power colored his words.
Kai destination was to his hotel he rented
The hotel stood before Kai, the luxury and opulence that seemed almost unreal. Its towering façade gleamed with polished marble, while shimmering chandeliers adorned the entrance. .
"Well, I did make quite a sum of money appear out of thin air,"
Kai chuckled to himself, a bemused grin playing on his lips as he thought about his impromptu act of financial magic.
Stepping inside, his footsteps were swallowed by plush carpets that cushioned his strides.
the lobby attended by a concierge whose professionalism was matched only by their friendly smile.
Kai couldn't help but appreciate the irony of his situation – a character from various fictional worlds, now enjoying the comfort of a hotel he himself had spawned into existence.
'I wonder if they have a welcome brochure for interdimensional travelers,'
Kai mused with a wry grin, imagining a pamphlet detailing the amenities of the hotel for visitors from alternate realities.
He approached the reception, his gaze meeting the concierge's as a knowing glint sparkled in his eyes.
"Good evening, sir. How may I assist you?" the concierge inquired, the practiced politeness in their voice a reflection of their professionalism.
''Keys for room 651'' i asked
"Very well, here are the keys'' the concierge said while handing me the keys
The suite exceeded his expectations. Every detail, from the ornate furnishings to the panoramic view of the cityscape, exuded sophistication.
"I could get used to this,"
Kai murmured to himself as he stepped further into the suite,
his fingers grazing the silky fabrics of the curtains.
He gazed out at the city lights
Despite the luxury surrounding him, a sense of restlessness gnawed at his mind. He realized that, unlike ordinary humans, he didn't require sleep.
"Well, this is a predicament,"
he muttered, half-amused and half-frustrated. He walked over to the elegantly appointed bedroom, where a plush bed awaited him, looking almost too inviting to resist.
"Should I try to sleep just for the experience?" he pondered aloud, an amused smile tugging at his lips.
With a theatrical sigh, he threw himself onto the bed and closed his eyes, feigning a state of peaceful slumber.
"Ah, the sweet embrace of sleep... or the lack thereof,"
he muttered with a chuckle, opening one eye to peek at the ceiling. He laid there for a moment, basking in the absurdity of his own actions before finally sitting up.
"Well, that was anticlimactic,"
he admitted with a grin, realizing that pretending to sleep was hardly entertaining when he didn't actually need to rest.
He got up and stretched, his movements fluid and relaxed. As he moved around the suite, his gaze shifted to the open suitcase on a nearby table.
Kai leaned over and began to rummage through it, finding a tablet device that he had brought along for entertainment.
"Might as well catch up on some shows or books from my world,"
he mused, settling into a plush armchair with the tablet in hand
