In MHA With Star Platinum - Chapter 151
Trying his best to ignore All Might posters at the wall, and the toys that resembled All Might all across the shelves in this office, Lee looked at Night Eye as soon as he entered his office with Yu. Officially, as she was his boss now, she was to entre first. Lee observed the man sitting on the desk, glaring at them behind his glasses. Night Eye was a tall man, 2 meters long. He was so lean and had dark-green hair that was brushed to the side. Night Eye, who was the previous sidekick of All Might, looked with his golden eyes at the two.
“I have expected that you would come here,” he said, standing up to his full height. “You had no appointment requested though.”
Yu was to talk with him. “To be expecting us already, you surely must be an amazing person.”
“You must understand that I am a very busy person.”
Night Eye pointed to the TV and to the desk that was full of papers.
Today, this agency’s owner had predicted two major heists and had already delivered them to the police.
One can just know how important his ability — to see the major events on the TV.
Yu clicked her tongue.
She must get what Lee wants, so she can get back home and get that boost in her Quirk, and then open her agency, collect the money, and become more famous.
Those thoughts in her head didn’t show up on her cold beautiful face.
“I’m a very busy person as well, yet I came.” She replied. “It would be better if you cooperate and let everyone happy. Not to mention, why would you tell us to come.”
“Maybe I am curious, maybe I have few precious seconds to spare,” Night Eye replied.
Lee rolled his eyes, thinking. ‘When is he going to stop bullshiting? I’m the one to come here, he had summoned me, and Yu obviously since she is the responsible one about me. Could it be that I had already requested from him to see the future, and he saw it? Wait a second. Can Night Eye see the future in the future he had seen about himself, and in that future, can he see another future, which already implied that I was here, and he knows the answers to my question… should I ask him.’
“No, I don’t see another future inside the future I see. The info load is beyond my head.” Night Eye switched his eyes at Lee, who raised his eyebrows, as he didn’t expect Night Eye to see through him. “I only see things from a third-person perspective.”
“Oh,” Lee decided to speak up then. Crossing his arms, he said, “then, this had happened already.”
“Some of it, which had already changed, obviously, by me and you interfering in the future.” Night Eye said with a calm sharp tone.
“Mmm. I can’t see the future, I can’t change something I don’t know it will happen.”
“You changed the future, long time ago, you just don’t know.”
“Listen, since you know why we are here, we can skip the formalities. Will you help us or not.” Spoke Yu.
“I only know that you are here to ask for help. Nothing more.” Night Eye patted his glasses. “I didn’t ask about the details, and I’m not intending to give my help.”
“Geez, and you call yourself a hero.”
Lee patted Yu’s shoulder.
He could feel that she was getting angry at the behaviour of the person in front of him.
Yu can be a sweet person with Lee.
However, to someone else, she can become a very scary person.
“You’re not intending…” Lee repeated behind him.
“That’s because the one asking for it isn’t Yu, but you.”
Night eye said, as he reached with his hand to his desk and picked up a stamp.
‘Yu…You. Why did I think of Rush Hour?’ But Lee came back to the topic.
“But, as heroes, you want to capture villains whom are being looked at by the Hero Asociation.” Night Eye said. “You surely want to mess with the future, don’t you?”
“I live in the present, I make the future,” came Lee’s reply.
“Let me see how capable you are,” Night Eye extended his hand, showing the stamp. “I’m seeing each of your movement, for the next three seconds, try to get this from my hand.”
“What, three seconds…” Yu wanted to retort. This is too little time.
“Three, two…” Night Eye activated his Quirk. He knew what is going on in the future, and smirked, as he could see anything going to happen from the third person.
Lee was about to sigh, as Star Platinum was about to take the stamp. However, it slipped back to Night Eye’s sleeves.
“WAANN…” Counting so fast, Night Eye was about to finish the count. With his ability, he could predict where the aura would go and when. With his experience, he can even react to projectiles as fast as the sound.
Night Eye was counting three seconds in a half-second.
Lee half-closed his eyes. This is just a mess. Just because Night Eye got off with the first round, easily, as Star Platinum wasn’t even trying, doesn’t mean that it’s going to be over with the last second.
‘Star Platinum,’ the stand made an appearance and called “The World!”
After he stopped the time, Star Platinum snatched the stamp on got it to his hand. Lee didn’t care about what Night Eye would think once he sees the stamp in his hand. After all, Lee had hidden his time-stopping power for one purpose, to surprise the league when they make an appearance.
The time resumed.
Night Eye had just seen the future. Lee would teleport the stamp to him. Night Eye had decided that he would change its position quickly. However, the future didn’t change.
Lee was standing there and having the stamp.
Night Eye opened his eyes widely. Not even a second between, yet Lee won the challenge. Even with a half-second given to Lee, one was for warning him, Lee had reacted so fast and beat the challenge.
“So, are we going to talk?” Lee said.
“I didn’t say I would.” Night Eye finally smiled. “One thing is left.
Yu cringed when she saw that smile.
Lee, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows.
“What left?”
“A final test.”
“Final test.”
The smile on his face started to appear more like a smirk to Lee. “Yes, the result depends on it.” Night Eye joined his skinny hands. His face became serious, suddenly. Lee and Yu were wondering what’s with this change.
Dead serious, Night Eye said. “Say a joke.”
Yu almost fell. She thought of giving this guy some beating for messing with Lee.
Lee lifted his head, looking at the roof. Just because he wanted to beat the shit out of someone, he is going to pass by this.
Lee could pass by hell and crawl of it.
But, telling a joke.
‘My poor life,’
Nah… he will pass.
‘Maybe I will go back to the city, train, as usual, have s.e.x as usual.’
He thought it’s time to investigate and think about a more creative way to get his objective. After all, it was selfish of him to drag Yu all of the ways here just to say a joke. Maybe he should apologise to her and leave, takes her somewhere nice to have a date and think about what to do after.
“Good Grief.” Lee looked at Night Eye with sleepy eyes and was about to leave.
“Haha. Good Grief, that’s a nice one.” Night Eye laughed like he had heard the funniest joke ever.
Lee blinked twice, so did Yu.
Yu put her hand on Lee’s shoulder, supporting herself not to fall.
Night Eye walked forward and grabbed Lee’s hand to shake it.
Making eye contact, he said, “I always wanted to see the man who changed the future?”
Lee narrowed his eyebrows. He didn’t understand what he meant by the man who changed the future. Lee smiled wryly and didn’t care about the rest. “Oh really? Who had told you about that?”
“All Might.” Night Eye took his hand back and patted his glasses.
Lee understood it now.
“I think he was just praising too much.”
“You are humble aren’t you?” He took his hand back from the handshake.
“Am I?”
Night Eye paused for a second. He then said with a sigh. “I’ll tell you in advance, I have already used my ability on myself today, so, you’ll have to wait for tomorrow.”
Yu bit her lips and clenched her fist, resisting the urge to go bigger and punch Night Eye.
Lee was the same. After all of this, he was to wait for tomorrow! But he forced a smile.
“But I’ll be happy to hear what you have come here for.” Night Eye continued. He went to his desk and pointed to the couch in his office. “You can sit.”
