This evening, Viktor was going to welcome someone in his bar to discuss a potential alliance.

The person in question was named Shigaraki Tomura. He was a man about twenty years old who had only just emerged in the industry. He just created a group named" The league of villains "and searching workforces for a next attack.

This attack might take place to U.A and would have for goal to eliminate All Might for good. The students would be only bonus.

The preparations to eliminate him would stay secret and won't be revealed to the participants. Only Tomura and his partner were aware of it.



The insides of the bar were lightened by warm and greenish lights, on the stage was a woman, singing with her most beautiful voice. The table were taken by villains with different appearances.

Some were mixing up, others stayed in the same groups. Voices were filling the room and glasses were rising up towards the ceiling.

A man with light blue short hair entered. He had a black long-sleeved V-neck t-shirt and black pants, as well as two red sneakers. On his face was set a hand that covered him almost entirely. There were only a few spaces between the fingers that let us see one of his red eyes.

Entering the room, his gaze searched the stairs. Once he found them, he walked towards it, but a woman stopped him.

" Good evening, you had a meeting ? "

The man scratched his neck.

" Yes. . .
— Good, then you can follow me. "

She started to climb the steps and opened the door. It was the principal room of the floor. On the right there was a door, and on the left the room that had a window giving to the ground-floor.
There were two other doors, one straight ahead and another on the left.

The room was pretty dark but yet, freeing a warm atmosphere.

Viktor was already sitting on one of the sofas, a glass of wine in hand, sipping it calmly with his eyes closed.
He talked in a calm voice : 

" Good evening. "

Indeed, Viktor had excellent hearing and smell due to his quirk and already knew that Tomura was here.

" Mmh. "

Shigaraki stepped ahead and sat on the couch in front of Viktor.

" So, it was to make an alliance, am I wrong ? 

— No, that's why I came.

— Perfect, can I ask why asking me and not somebody else ?

 — You are known and respected.

Viktor crossed his legs.

 — I see, and can I know your goals ?

 — Crush the symbol of peace to nothing. 

In the tone of Shigaraki, all his hate towards all the symbol of peace represented could be heard. It was harsh, bitter, almost like the growl of a wolf, ready to hunt down its prey.

— Interesting. Said Viktor while bringing some carmine liquid to his mouth. But how will you manage to do so ? We are still talking about the number one.

— I'm sorry, but I can't reveal anything.

— It is a shame. What are your ideals ? Why destroying the symbol of peace ? 

— You know, we're living in a society full of inequalities, some injustices, and all of that is the fault of the pro heroes. If I destroy the symbol of peace, I destroy this society.

Viktor started to calmly smile, while closing his eyes.

— Good, I understand better your vision of the world. Know that it isn't shared. It would have been a pleasure to help you, but I am forced to refuse your offer. "

Shigaraki started to scratch himself and got up suddenly. He got ready to get closer to Viktor, but he gave up his instincts.

Either way, Viktor knew.

A sigh could be heard in the room, followed by a groan, then, to footsteps becoming less and less audible.

Tomura was gone.




Despite appearances, Viktor has never been appreciated by a majority of villains. His vision of the world and his peaceful side had earned him this reputation.
However, his bar was a haven of peace and rest for the last minority. They were considered like weak, but, in the inside of the building, they were considered like they always were : 

Human beings.
