He started from the beginning, recounting his life as an assassin. He was adopted by an assassin who desired to have a successor. That man wasted no time in thrusting Kaminari into the dark world of assassination. He had years of rigorous training under his belt and combat skills that could put nearly anyone to shame.

Kaminari was immune to almost everything. Stabs, broken bones, poisons, starvation, he had them all. In a stroke of ingenuity, he had discovered a way to send a surge of electricity to his pain receptors, effectively shutting them off. He had become immune to the agony that would cripple ordinary men.

He had taken countless lives but his experience had not yet numbed him to the evil he was forced to carry out. Despite his past and the expectations that came with it, he refused to become a monster, unwilling to let those deeds change him. He clung onto whatever compassion remained in an effort not to forget his morality; even when faced with damning outcomes if he failed. Even as bullets flew around him and chaos ensued, a part of him was still searching for redemption hoping there was a way out.

The loneliness had engulfed him over the years and he wanted to find a way to atone for all of his wrongdoings. He finally decided to run awayto flee from the clutches of his tormentor. With years of training and countless stealth missions under his belt, he managed to elude the clutches of the hellish existence he had known. But alas, his freedom was short-lived, for the man had found him once again.

Kaminari was imprisoned in a wretched cellar, a place where unspeakable tortures were inflicted upon him. For eight long years, he had obediently followed the commands of his captor, but now, a fire burned within him. He defied his tormentor, breaking free from his chains, and thus began the epic battle between two assassins.

The fight raged on, and in the end, Kaminari emerged victorious. He had won his freedom from the cruel master who had controlled him for so long.

No longer in someone else's control, Kaminari began to make his escape, knowing that he would never have to return to such a place again.

He journeyed through the night, venturing across unfamiliar terrain, until he eventually found himself in a new city.

His injuries from the battle were so severe that he appeared utterly distraught. He couldn't simply ask any citizen for help or seek refuge in any hotel, as they would surely alert the police. Even going to the hospital was out of the question. Temporarily he hid in the park and bandaged his own wound.

In the next morning, while he was sleeping, Lied found him and the fusion event happened.

Nezu listened intently, his expression grave. "You went through a lot of terrible things that a normal teenager shouldn't...no mustn't have."

Kaminari confessed, his voice trembling "I have both Shax Lied and Kaminari Denki's memories. When I delve into the happy school life part, it feels as though the memories being with those demon friends seemed to have healed me and partially compensated for my childhood." He sniffled "But the more I compare these conflicting memories, the more I question whether I can ever truly experience a normal school life and have genuine friends by my side." Kaminari gazed at Nezu, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "Do I truly deserve a second chance?"

"I know you want to make amends and you think you don't deserve to go to UA to be a hero. If so dedicate that power of yours, become my spear to protect this school and students. It will serve as a form of atonement."

At the end of their conversation, Kaminari felt lighter than he had in a long time. He expressed his gratitude to Nezu for lending an ear and comprehending his story, assuring the principal that he was prepared to face any challenge with a newfound sense of purpose.

"Kaminari please wait for me" - His assistant - Aki rushed behind him. Aki was one of few people knew his secret, he was assigned to manage the blond's work, both idol'schedule, preparation to become a hero-in-training, and his reports.

"You should just go home, your job today is done." Kaminari spoke nonechalantly as he and Aki walked side by side.

"But you know, I don't like the idea of leaving without you. You need someone to watch your back!" Aki said, his eyes filled with determination.

Kaminari just raised eyebrows and said nothing. They continued their walk to the principal's room.

Knock Knock

"Come in"

Kaminari and Aki sat side by side in the sofa in front of the table. He grabbed the tea cup already placed in the table.

"Artichoke tea? It's new but I like its scent." His mouth quirked upward.

"Ah, yes good that you like it too, it will be too bad if you only know to eat those snack and cola."

Denki coughed. He was talking about his unhealthy eating habit from Lied him. He was now able to eat human food and what's the first thing he ate after being fusion? He ate 3 bags of chips and a big size bottle of Coca-cola. Don't blame him. Denki him knew it was not good but Lied him felt it's only fair after a month only drinking human blood and no snack.

"As you already know and prepare, tomorrow is the test day but it seems you don't really care much about it."

He simply shrugged and said, "Nah, I'm confident I can ace that test." Others may think he's an arrogant kid who believes everything will go his way. In reality he knows his capabilities and limits well enough to know he can definitely pass the test.

"Cut the chase." He handed over the report document.

Nezu took and read but his face showed no emotion

He continued to say "It looks like LV is recruiting more members and I heard many villains join them. But with such a short period and such a large increase in numbers, I don't think they are gathering strong people for the league but they are looking for large number of people for a plan, something larger."

""Do you think they prepare going rampage?" Kaminari asked, his eyes narrowing in suspect as he pictured the chaotic scene that could ensue. "With such a large number of people, rebelling against hero agencies would be like walking into a lion's den-- and if it happens in a crowded public area, it'll take far too long and too many resources to quell them. The destruction of both property and lives will be broadcast throughout the nation." Kaminari said with serious expression.

Aki had been quiet but now he suddenly spoke up "That was only your assumption, but what if the place they were going to attack wasn't a public place but UA school - the symbol of heroes and future."

If that turns out to be true it will affect the reputation of not only the school but also the whole heroes.

"But it is very difficult to attack UA, all protection shields are the most advanced technology."

Nezu nodded "But we also cannot rule out that possibility either. Let's just stay alert for a time being. I will also strengthen the security for the school."

He turned to Kaminari "You should just go prepare for tomorrow."

He really hoped nothing bad would go down.

But it seemed as if everything was falling apart.
