Although the two of them went to Lancer 'trouble', they also made a deal with the security team before they left. Once the two of them 'lost contact', they would immediately notify the principal and All Might himself. After giving their instructions, the two of them went to the staff dorms together. As expected, many people were resting in the dorms, which made the originally nervous Midnight and Shota Aizawa relax a little. No matter what, if something happened, at least the others could come to their aid!
When the two of them arrived in front of All Might's door, Midnight was the first to act. A strange hypnotic body fragrance, guided by Midnight's command, continuously flowed into All Might's door, while Shota Aizawa was wearing a special small gas mask.
This thing could be said to be standard equipment for working with Midnight. Everyone knew that Midnight's 'quirk' was a large-scale killing skill. Although she herself could control the scent to a certain extent, it was only to a certain extent. As long as you smelled it, it wouldn't distinguish between enemy and friend.
Midnight's body fragrance filled the dorm room. After a few minutes, Shota Aizawa gestured that it was enough, but Midnight shook her head. She had already suffered a loss from this once before, and she decided to at least double the dosage!
After a few more minutes, Midnight finally nodded to Shota Aizawa.
One person was wearing a queen's dress and holding a nine-tailed whip, while the other was in all black with a gas mask on his face and holding a strange bandage. If someone passed by, they might think that the two of them were the 'bad guys', right?
After Midnight opened the door with the spare key, the two of them rushed into the room one after another.
"Welcome!"
With a strange welcome sound, the two of them then felt a hand placed on their faces.
Shota Aizawa's first reaction was to use his 'quirk' because he remembered All Might saying that the man's right arm was made of ice! But what surprised him was that the other party had no reaction at all?
But despite his surprise, he held the 'bandage' with both hands and wrapped it around the other party's hand, while his right foot kicked directly at Lancer side. That was the 'soft spot' in the general sense, because it was very fragile without the protection of the ribs, but what he didn't expect was that when he kicked it, he only felt like he was kicking a steel plate.
Midnight on the other side was even less polite. She swung the nine-tailed whip in her hand at Lancer chest, while her right foot kicked at Lancer 'vital spot'.
But it only kicked a layer of ice.
That layer of ice was directly shattered, which was enough to show how hateful that kick was.
And Lancer, looking at the shattered ice, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He could almost imagine what would happen if he was kicked there. After all, even if his body was strengthened, the strengthening there was very limited, and he didn't think that a certain part of his body could be as hard as solid ice.
"You two, be quiet for a moment."
A freezing air began to emanate from the palms that were holding the two of them, and their mouths were immediately sealed. At the same time, layers of ice fog also began to appear under their feet, until the two of them were completely frozen. Of course, their heads were not sealed, after all, Lancer didn't want to kill anyone.
On the other side, after Shota Aizawa and Midnight entered All Might's room, the security team had been nervously staring at the cameras, but what they didn't expect was that there was no movement at all.
'Could it be that they succeeded?'
But after a few more minutes, there was still no movement. The faces of the security team members in charge of monitoring immediately became ugly. If they had caught the target, it was impossible for them to have no reaction until now. They then decisively began to call for backup.
The first person to receive the message was the 'principal'. In his pajamas, his expression was a little ugly.
Of course, it wasn't because he was angry at Midnight and Shota Aizawa. After all, their handling of the situation was not a problem. It was just that the opponent they encountered this time was a little 'unusual'.
"Where is All Might now?"
"He's almost back. He said he can get back to school within five minutes."
"Okay, then let him handle it directly."
"Yes!"
As an animal with a 'super intelligence' quirk, the 'principal' quickly sorted out everything from what had happened. The one thing that could be confirmed was that Shota Aizawa and Midnight should not be in any life-threatening danger.
If the other party's goal was to ambush All Might, it would be a little too 'amateurish'. In addition, his whereabouts had already been exposed, and the normal situation would be to retreat immediately, but the other party stayed in the room without moving. This could only mean that the other party was planning to 'negotiate' with someone.
As for who that person was? Naturally, it was All Might.
Although he gave the on-site handling rights to All Might, he still tidied himself up and rushed to the security office. He needed to get the first-hand information, especially the other party's 'identity'!
On the other side, Lancer, who was sitting in All Might's room, also had his eyes closed, comprehending the 'knowledge' that his 'master' had sealed in his mind.
When Midnight and Shota Aizawa appeared outside the door before, Lancer had actually already noticed them, but he didn't pay too much attention to them at first. After all, this was the 'dorms'. But he also raised his guard, and finally, when he smelled a strange scent, he realized that something was wrong.
He had also smelled a strange scent at the hotel before, and he originally thought it was an air freshener from the hotel, but now it seemed that it was not a 'coincidence'. He then remained cautious and finally subdued the two of them directly when they rushed in.
However, just as he was comprehending the 'runes', a familiar presence came from outside the door.
"Welcome back."
Lancer greeted All Might as if he were the owner of the room, and All Might's expression was very serious. Of course, when he saw Midnight and Shota Aizawa frozen into ice sculptures, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the two of them looked a little strange, especially Midnight, who was still maintaining a crossed-leg posture, he knew that they should be fine for the time being by the way they were blinking at him.
While he was relieved, he also looked at Lancer, who was sitting in the middle of the room.
"What business do you have with me? Or have you decided to surrender? If that's the case..."
"Sorry, please allow me to seriously refuse that. I don't have that much time to spend in prison."
"Is there something you need to do?"
"You could say that. I plan to challenge you to a match."
"Challenge me to a match?"
Lancer words seemed like a joke to All Might. After all, Lancer had just run away once in the afternoon.
"That's right, a match. Not the 'playing around' from the afternoon, but a real match in the true sense of the word!"
The smile on Lancer face also disappeared, replaced by an extremely serious expression, and this serious expression also infected All Might.
"Are you serious? Although it may not sound good coming from me, I am still..."
"The Symbol of Peace? Yes, I know that. I even know many things that others don't. What I want to say is that I'm serious! If you're not serious, I'm afraid I might accidentally kill you!"
Lancer words were not a joke. Although he had received systematic training from Skaha, it was only basic training. Skaha had not influenced his fighting style. In other words, Lancer spearmanship was essentially his 'real-world combat tactics'.
First, hunting Ghouls, then hunting giant beasts, and finally, fighting on the battlefield.
When Lancer fought, although he was not as aggressive as Cu Chulainn, he was more 'dangerous'! Because his goal was always to 'kill the enemy' not to 'defeat the enemy'.
And at this time, the 'blood energy' that Lancer deliberately exuded from his body made All Might freeze, and even the skin under his clothes got goosebumps.
What kind of feeling was this? It was like being stared at by a bloodthirsty wolf!
The two of them fell silent, and even Shota Aizawa and Midnight, who were frozen on the side, also stopped blinking and stared straight at All Might. Although they couldn't speak, their meaning was very clear, they wanted him to refuse.
But after looking at Lancer for a few seconds, All Might's expression became serious, and he nodded.
"Okay! I accept your challenge! But if I win..."
"Then do as you please. That's your right as the victor!"
Lancer answer made All Might feel relieved and also confirmed one thing again, which was that Lancer was indeed not a simple 'criminal'.
But after the conversation was over, the two, or rather four people, crowded in the room, which seemed a little awkward. But just at this moment...
"Bang!"
With a tapping sound, Lancer placed a strange bottle on the table.
"Now that we've talked about business, why don't we have a drink?"
"?" X 3
Lancer sudden action made All Might and the other two dumbfounded. They didn't seem to understand Lancer behavior.
However, Lancer didn't feel awkward at all.
"What's wrong? Is it strange to drink with an 'enemy'?"
It was indeed very strange.
This was almost what Shota Aizawa and Midnight wanted to say at the same time. At the same time, they used their eyes to signal All Might to refuse, but All Might didn't look at the two of them this time. Instead, he took out four wine glasses from the small cabinet next to him.
"No problem, but it's too boring for just two people to drink. Let's add two more glasses."
"..."
"Snap~"
With a snap of his fingers, the ice on Shota Aizawa and Midnight's bodies began to gradually fall off. But what was strange was that the ice didn't turn into water. Instead, it sublimated directly into water vapor.
Lancer then didn't look at the two of them. Instead, he directly pulled out the cork, and a scent of wine filled the room.
Lancer first filled one of the glasses. The amber-colored liquid, combined with the strange aroma, made the other three people present swallow their saliva.
"This is yours!"
After handing the wine glass to All Might, he filled another glass for himself, and then poured about 1/3 for Midnight and Shota Aizawa.
"I can only give you this much, otherwise there won't be enough wine..."
Saying strange words, Lancer put the cork back in and raised his glass to All Might.
All Might, on the other side, looked at the wine glass in his hand with flickering eyes, and then he let out a light laugh and also raised the wine glass in his hand. He then used his eyes to signal Midnight and Shota Aizawa next to him. The two of them looked at each other and finally chose to trust All Might.
After the four of them clinked their glasses, each of them took a sip.
Lancer drank half a glass with great gusto, and All Might did the same. Only Midnight and Shota Aizawa each took a small sip, but then their eyes widened, and All Might himself had a look of enjoyment on his face.
He felt his body become warm in an instant, and even the original wound on his body seemed to hurt less.
"What a good wine~"
"Of course. This bottle of wine is not cheap~"
Lancer also smiled at All Might's praise.
"Where did you buy it? I'll go buy some myself someday~"
"Haha~ you can't buy this. After all, this is a wine that only true 'warriors' are worthy of drinking!"
All Might just laughed at Lancer words, but the expressions of Midnight and Shota Aizawa on the other side were a little unnatural. After all, Lancer had not intended to give them any at first.
Lancer, who saw the reactions of the three of them, had no intention of explaining. After all, he hadn't said anything wrong. This was indeed the wine from Celtic mythology————————'Odin's Mead from Valhalla'.
That was the name of the bottle of wine that Lancer had just taken out.
As for the source? It was naturally swiped from Cu Chulainn. As for where Cu Chulainn got it? He had calmly pointed at the holes in his body and said nothing more...
This wine was undoubtedly very rare and high-end, but its most important function was not to be delicious.
The four of them drank around the small low table. With All Might and Lancer generous way of drinking, the bottle of wine was finished in less than half an hour, and in the end, he looked at the empty bottle with a face full of regret.
Although he himself was not a greedy person, the taste of the bottle of wine Lancer had just brought out was simply unforgettable...
"Okay, the wine is finished, and you've said what you had to say. So now..."
"Let's have our match!"
Lancer words made All Might freeze for a moment.
"Drinking heartily and having a match after drinking. This is the way of life my senior brother taught me. Although I'm not personally used to living this kind of life every day, it is indeed more suitable now. After all... All Might, don't you feel it yet?"
Lancer words immediately made the atmosphere in the room become tense, and even Shota Aizawa began to suspect that Lancer had poisoned the wine.
But All Might closed his eyes and felt it for a moment. He found that his body was warm, and there was no discomfort at all. He could even say that he felt better than usual!
And Lancer, looking at his confused expression, also showed a strange smile.
"Don't you feel that your wound doesn't hurt as much anymore?"
"!!"
Lancer words immediately made All Might's eyes widen.
'How does he know that?! Or is he just saying it casually?!'
All Might's expression was very surprised, but Lancer was all smiles.
「Odin's Mead from Valhalla
Type: Consumable
Effect: Temporarily eliminates all negative states from the body
Description: In order for the heroes in Valhalla to fight to their heart's content, the god-king Odin specially brewed this fine wine!」
Lancer goal was not to defeat All Might. His goal was to hone himself!
He would not be satisfied with defeating an injured All Might.
