broken immortal

chapter 8

Izuku's pov- one month later
"Okay so I, at this point, feel like there may have been a few mistranslations on my part. I have done some research (reading manga) and I feel like the voice may have been referring to the person replacing my hearts desire and then fulfilling it, so as to remove my desire to die. In many of the manga I have read, they often associate matters of the heart with romantic feelings for another so it could be possible that my view of this was all wrong from the get go." I muttered to myself as I sat on my bed, stroking my chin as I thought about the true context of the voices words.

Before me was a new notebook, different from the one containing my suicide notes. This notebook contained information related to the voice, the red eyed guy, my hearts desire and the true meaning of it all. The first couple of pages were basically diary entries that I wrote down after the last time I met him, but then I started writing down the voice's words and branched off possible meanings for them and looking for a loop hole or if there were any clues on how I could die.

At some point I started compiling all the information I had on the strange figure and basically made a character profile for him (obviously I was missing a hell of a lot of information), there's also like 20 pages where it's just full of drawings of him, at first I just drew him as a silhouette with red eyes but then I started guessing his appearance from the simple and small details I could remember.

I then started thinking about what I truly wanted and made a list of it all. On the surface I just want to die but if I were to peel off the lid what would I see inside. Well inside I would see my trauma, the feeling of no-one being there for me, my anxiety, my depression, my helplessness and my misery. From all that I thought about how it could have been prevented or at least how it might have not affected me as much and came to the conclusion that the key issue was my crippling loneliness. I'm sure that if I had someone with me I wouldn't have suffered as much, or if I cared for someone I may have wanted to live for them, so what i truly desired was for someone to care about me and help me through it all.

I then focused on matters of the heart , though there was one main problem, I was not mindful of the what people associated with the human heart, after all I always just thought of it as a vital organ and nothing more. So in my pursuit of more knowledge I consulted those who I though would be more knowledgeable. I asked some of the people who were around the building, asking literally anybody who passed. Some said that a person's heart would feel warm when you truly cared for another, a small few said a person's heart would react when two people 'do the deed'(?), and others said the heart gives out a feeling that couldn't be explained, there were also a few people who just ignored me.

After finding their words completely pointless and vague I decided to ignore all their words and consult the holy scriptures (my beloved manga). Hence, thanks to them, I came to the word love (which I had to search on Google to figure out what it meant). I then found that all the pieces fit and created a final picture that was the answer to all my hard work and effort. "Clearly he is suppose to love me and I him!" I yelled like a teenage girl as I flopped backwards on my bed hugging a pillow.

As I laughed to myself with excitement, that same old woman from a few months ago entered my room with three men who were double her size behind her. "Hello deary, I hope your ready because its time for you to leave this place." She said in a sweet old voice. "we've found a place for you to stay along with a new high school where I'm sure you'll fit right in." After she finished speaking the men behind her started to collect all the things in my room and pack them away, which was kinda annoying since they were touching all my stuff.

The woman led me to a car parked outside and we both got into the back two seats, we waited as the men packed my things and brought the bags out one by one. As I sat there I contemplated about what would happen to me. I had come to the conclusion that I would either be sent to some rich private boarding school that they could easily watch me in, a simple high school where I'd be reasonably free and they'd just check on me occasionally, or some sort of facility where they would strap me in and dissect me. If it were the latter then I'd have to make a break for it, after all how could I fulfill my hearts desire if I was strapped to some chopping board. I'll kill 'em. If it were the other options I would comply since they're not too bad. Well there was a chance that my assumptions were completely wrong and it's none of the above so I'll have to wait and see.

The men finished loading up the car and we began to make our way towards who knows where, there were three others in the car excluding me: the old woman, a buff guy (probably in case I go berserk or something) and I drive who looks somewhat insignificant, clearly just there for no other reason but to drive.

After 1 hour of driving we came to an abrupt stop towards the top of some hill that was (once again) surrounded by trees. I was sensing a bunch of red flags I mean, it's remote, it's surrounded by forest and I was still being kept in the car as the old woman and the driver got out and talked to someone who was out of view since they were behind the car. The fact that the buff guy was also still in the car with me was even more of a warning as it shows they believe I was a threat.

After at least 10 minutes the driver opened the car door and told me to come out. As I did the buff guy also got out the car and went to go grab my things out the boot. Now that I was out the car I could see the beautiful city view of the bottom of the hill though I got bored of it pretty quickly. The old woman waved for me to go round to the back of the car, I do as she insists and then see who they were talking too. It a cute looking little mouse, bear thing, it looked like a school mascot.

I knelt down next to the creature and kinda poked it's forehead to see how it would react, though it backfired on me quickly as once I felt it's soft fur I stared to pat it on the head. Eventually it spoke saying "welcome to my school, I am the principal!" It spoke in a joyful high-pitched tone and it was all too much for me. I fell backwards as I slowly began to die from the overwhelming cuteness that radiated off of this undiscovered specimen.

When I finally regained my sense of self I realised his words, stood up and stared behind me in the directing of the school. I stood witness to a giant sign that broadcasted the letters 'UA' all across the area. Behind it was a peculiar H shaped building that looked tall enough to be a 5 story flat. "My name is Nezu," the little rat said. "And I welcome you to UA as a student of class 1-A."
I don't have time for this.

Should I go down the route of shiggy manipulating izuku or should I just go straight for izuku going psycho on shiggy? If I can get anyone's opinion on what to do that'd be great🙂👍
