While Albert was asleep he was jolted awake by a few explosions.
"… I guess Bakugo was up."
He didn't expect to sleep far longer than expected.
"Albert." Mélusine says waking Albert up.
"Hm. What is it?" He said with his eyes still closed.
"Your next opponent dropped out. It was that girl who can make things from her fat."
"Ah. Wise choice. The only way she could fight me was though weapons. Something she can't hope to beat me in without great skills."
"Yes so you can sleep a bit longer."
"Thank you for the report."
So Albert returned to sleep.
When next he woke he went to face his next opponent, Todoroki.
"How fun. Seems I am going to have a real challenger." Albert slowly open his eyes.
"That boy is impressive. His ice and fire will make it rather hard, but I'd doubt you will have to worry with him as he hasn't used his fire since that kid who breaks his limbs." Mélusine said.
"Haa… Oh well. I am sure I can find something."
Albert walks through the halls to see the number two hero of Japan, Endeavor, waiting for him. He was as massive as his flames were intense, though that can also be said about his personality.
"You." Endeavor looked at Albert dismissively.
"Hello~" Albert said playfully.
"…" Endeavor twitched a bit. He didn't like his tone.
'He has the same temperament as Handler.' Albert surmised. 'Possibly even worse than his, Handler at least has a playful fake smile on, he doesn't try to hide his dislike of me.'
"I saw you out there kid. Your—"
"Oy! Oy!!"
"!?"
That female voice caught both Endeavor and Albert off guard. Albert turned around to see Mirko walking up to him.
"If you're gonna get ahead and poach him I'll have to stop you there!" Mirko said with a very abrasive attitude as she walked past Albert and to Endeavor's face.
"Hmph! I am not here to poach him. I am merely here to inform him that my boy, Shoto will crush him."
"Haaaah!?" Mirko gets up on his face, as much as she can from her small frame of 5'2 ft (159 cm and it's not including her ears.). "Albert!" she turned to Albert. "What say you huh!"
"We will see." Albert walks past both of them. "That's all I have to say, aside from watch me."
They watched Albert's back as he walked away. He held a presence like a veteran hero.
"He is mine Endeavor, you got that!" Mirko glances up at him.
"Hmph! Maybe I should extend a invination to him after the Sports Festival. Your never one for working with others and if he caught your eye then he must have something special about him."
"Quit the bullshit. I fucking know your only saying that to get under my skin." Mirko then walks away.
Endeavor says nothing and walks away as well.
'Like hell do I have time for him. Shoto is already perfect to surpass All Might. That boy does not hold the power like that other kid does, granted Albert is the more sought after given that he doesn't break his limbs.'
Walking out to the stage he could see a uncertainly in Todoroki's eyes. Eyes with half-hearted convictions.
"My. Did that fight with Midoriya leave you that tired?" Albert said walking to him with his hand out.
Todoroki slowly walked up to him and shook hands.
"Hm." He didn't say much.
"Well you better find something to light those eyes of yours. The second you don't hold back I will send you back to your shitty father."
His comment did bring light to his eyes, an angry light.
"I will end it in one attack." Todoroki said.
Albert felt his hand grow a bit more colder.
"Let's see." Albert lets go and goes back to his position.
Todoroki does the same and after some words from Present Mic the match begun.
"STAAAAAART!!!"
Immediately Todoroki stomped the ground with his right foot.
Thud!!
A wave of ice sprung from it like a tsunami.
Krakle!!!!!
Albert immediately kicked towards the ice. To him this was as fast as brisk walk. He tapped one of the sharp points of the ice and kicked off again, going even faster than before.
Foom!!
"!?" Todoroki was wide-eyed. It was but a mere instant that Albert was far from him but was now about to kick him. "Gr!!"
Todoroki forced his body to get down, no matter what. For a mere second he was grateful of his father's training.
His knees buckled and his torso fell to the ground enough where Albert's kick went over his head, barely grazing the top of his hair.
Swhish~!!
"Impressive." Albert quietly said as he spun his body 360 degrees back to face the face of Todoroki.
"!?" Todoroki's mind raced again this time his heart sunk from fear.
'How!? How far is the distance between me and—!?' He understood his father. He hated how at this moment he understood his father and why he pushed his own son to such levels. 'Was this how you feel when you look at All Might?'
With a stomp Albert slammed Todoroki into the ground.
THUD!!!
"Gasp!?!?" The attack squeezed the air out of Todoroki's lungs, his bones creaked under the force and pressure.
The sound of a meaty thud quieted everyone in the stadium.
"This match is over. Midnight! He is—"
"I-I can still—Squeeze! Ugh!"
Albert pressed his foot firmer into his back.
"You are already at my mercy. You lost."
The tone Albert took was a serious one. Todoroki heard that and understood—accepted his situation. He lost within seconds.
"I… Concede."
"Winner!!" Midnight shouted. "Albert!!!!"
"Uraaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!"
The crowd roared as Albert gets off Todoroki and walks back.
Watching from the audience Endeavor was fuming while Mirko was smirking ear to ear.
"Grr!!!" The fire from Endeavor was rising.
"Hahaha!! What a quick end!!" Laughed Mirko.
Also watching was All Might.
"…How terrifying. The culmination of the Adam Project."
Next to him was the principal of U.A.
"I knew he was strange, but I think I would have preferred a lion over a calamity." Nezu said as he wiped the sweat from his brow with a cloth. "Is he really the final product?" He looked to All Might as if he was still unsure of his words.
"That is what Herod said. His 'son'," He said in quotations. "Is a living, breathing weapon of concentrated, pinpoint destruction."
"And him telling was more of a threat than anything. Now I can't help but worry what they will ask of him."
"Rid yourself of that worry, Nezu. I asked through some of my old contacts, but it seems a job was placed to kill All For One."
"Hmm…" Nezu quickly put everything together. "Then it would seem that is Albert's job then." Nezu's quirk, High Spec, gave him unparalleled intelligence. He is arguably the smartest creature on the planet.
"Then until All For One is found and killed he will remain a normal student."
"You know they will still have him do odd jobs here and there. He is still the U.S.A.'s greatest moneymaker. I have no doubt that our government paid the U.S. to clean up some of their messes."
"Yes… Now with knowing Albert it makes sense how the U.S. grew even more in power and wealth over the recent years."
"I will look more into his actions—"
"No. Do not look any further." All Might said firmly. "Knowing the secret missions the Military Complex does to ensure war around the globe never ends I don't want to see or know what Albert has done to be this skilled."
"…Very well."
Nezu would later look into Albert's past, and much like what All Might said his work has drastically changed the politics of many nations.
After returning to the waiting room Albert sat back down and took a long deep breath.
"Fuu~ One mistake and I would have been frozen."
"I am sure you would have broken free, Albert." Mélusine said.
"It's been a while since my skill Temperature Tolerance began to work. Anyways the Sports Festival is almost over. Do you want something to eat or—"
"I want get more model kits!"
"…Okay. Keep watch and inform me when I am up next." Albert closes his eyes and goes to sleep.
While Albert goes to sleep Mélusine goes out and checks the stadium again.
'Hm♫ Hm♫ Hm♫ Hm♫'
Mélusine was going about without much concern when she felt the presence of a servant. Given the era a Servant had to be close to be felt, albeit this wasn't something Mélusine had to worry. Her connection with Albert strengthened her enough to have some of the capabilities a Servant would have if they were say summoned one to two hundred years ago.
'!?'
Immediately she turned and quickly flew to the presence. She flew out to the food stalls and quickly began to scan the area.
She floated around trying to see if she could find anyone.
'Hmm… They quickly hid themselves. Dammit.'
While she floated around she went past a very energetic pair.
"Uooo!! These food is delicious Mirio sir!" said a teenage, energetic girl with casual attire.
"Hm! Hm! Oh you almost took off your special hairpin Ushiwaka!" Mirio said, a tall young man with a muscular build with blue oval-shaped eyes. "Sir Nighteye had to look for it for quite a while."
