Chapter 54 - 54. U.A. Sport Festival : SkinWalker

Banjo POV

Ah, so nostalgic, this view reminds me of my childhood. The place where my friends and I ran here and there looking for leaves with the most unique shapes.

Well, even though I always lose because I always accidentally burn the leaves I choose—I don't know how that happens; I'm also confused.

I hope I didn't cause a fire here. So I continued my steps. The reason I didn't run here was because there were a lot of fallen leaves that obstructed my view and slowed my steps down too, because I didn't know what was there.

Just imagine if there was a snake nesting under the pile of leaves and I stepped on it; there would be a fight between me and the snake, so I chose to step away.

"Damn, bro, U.A. is not playing around with the events they hold. I don't think this event will be held again in 3-4 years because the budget is fantastic."

I heard the sound of people talking; reflexively, I walked towards the sound, and sure enough, I met Higura with Hachi.

With a smile I approached them and said, "Hey, guys. I didn't expect to see you here; I thought we had taken different routes".

Higura and Hachi looked at me; they seriously stared at me intently. Why did they do this? Is it because in this forest there are other creatures besides us? Damn, bro, I hope U.A. didn't add Skinwalker here.

"Are you sure he's Banjo, Higura? I'm not sure he's acting like Banjo". Higura sighed and said, "I'm not sure either; let's confirm if it's him."

I then explained to them, "Bro, I'm real. Besides, how can you assume that? I've been walking in this forest without finding anything strange other than the fact that there are snakes."

Higura and Hachi looked at me with more suspicion. "Yeah, we've met other creatures in this forest. There's a skinwalker here; we've met that creature."

I was shocked. Was what they said true? For some reason I was skeptical of what they said. Suspiciously, I then asked .

"So, what does a monster look like? I haven't encountered any creatures during my journey from the start until here."

Hachi then said, "Hmm, what is it like? He had a hunched body, with a spine piercing through his back and a hideous face. Just looking at it can give you nightmares."

My suspicions rose again. Hachi wasn't the type of person to be afraid of the situation he was facing. It was possible that what was in front of him wasn't Hachi but this Higura. It wasn't known whether or not it was him.

"Hmmm, I see. Somehow I don't believe it. Are you the only one who saw it, Hachi? You, Higura, did you see it too?"

I saw Higura nod. Higura then said, "Yeah, when I was running there, I accidentally met another student, but when I approached him, the student turned around with his mouth full of raw deer meat. At that moment, I knew that he was not a U.A. student but something terrible because after he realized I was there, he screamed and his body transformed."

Ah, looks like Hachi is the fake one. Thus I thought of a plan to make Higura realize that the Hachi with him was a fake Hachi.

Higura then continued his words, "Then after the creature transformed, I tried to trap it with my vine, but it easily tore it apart. There was no other choice; I ran away."

"Then, how did you meet? Were you also chased by different skinwalkers?" I asked Higura, and Higura answered, "Yes, when I was cornered, Hachi appeared and punched the skinwalker. It got scared and ran away".

"Oh, so that's how it happened? I thought there were no SkinWalkers among us," I said that to make it clear. But Hachi still continued his suspicions: "No, we're not done yet. You're a Skinwalker. We both have solid alibis. What about you?"

I was speechless. I didn't think I would be a suspect. Fuck! I don't want to play Among Us in the real world. Haiss, now how do I explain it? So far I haven't found anything strange on my journey; hell, I just met these two people, Hachi and Higura.

"How can I explain it? Because along the way I didn't see anything strange, so I can't prove that I'm not a Skinwalker."

After that I saw Hachi and Higura looking at each other; I felt something bad was going to happen.

Sure enough, Higura suddenly used her quirk to create veins. I avoided it with difficulty; the terrain was very advantageous to Higura and disadvantageous to me.

'Fuck, I can't use my fire quirk; if I use it even a little bit, it could cause a fire,' I muttered to myself.

Tendrils of veins appeared from the ground trying to catch me, and I dodged them, but Hachi suddenly attacked me too, but he didn't use his quirk, which was weird.

Hachi is arguably dependent on his quirk to do a lot of things, and now that he's not attacking me with his quirk, this doesn't make sense.

While avoiding his attacks, I shouted, "Hey Higura, Hachi is the Skinwalker; he didn't use his quirk when he attacked me; he's the Skinwalker, not me!!"

Instantly Higura fell silent. Hachi, on the other hand, looked at me with a fierce gaze and a savage grin.

'Oh shit, this is bad; I'm fucked up.'

At that moment, Hachi threw himself down, his bones reorganized to form a strange anatomy combining a dog and a human, and his skin began to melt, revealing the monster's true face.

"Why, why, why! Why do you have to destroy what I'm doing? I'm your friend. I'm Hachi." And yup, the creature started to deny the accusations even though he himself revealed his cover.

'Sometimes I wonder if what I see is really a monster or just a robot made by U.A., because the last time I saw something that didn't make sense was real.' I muttered to myself.

I saw Higura shocked, shocked because all this time he was talking to SkinWalker, who was targeting him. Oh man, you don't know what will happen if Higura goes berserk.

Higura quickly attacked the SkinWalker, but the SkinWalker had physical abilities above the average human, at least 5x stronger.

But can he avoid Higura's attack? Of course not; even though Higura looks like he only controls his veins, he can actually manipulate his veins to hijack the roots of other plants in the ground to help him fight.

The skinwalker was caught. Higura angrily said, "Hey Banjo, please burn this barbaric creature."

I, who actually didn't want to do it, could only nod. I gathered air in my lungs, then created a combustion to burn the fluid in my lungs and expel it through my breath.

The fire came out of my mouth, but I put it in my hand first because my fire is dangerous for the surrounding environment.

Just as I was about to burn the Skinwalker, suddenly a small fire appeared in the dark part of the forest. The small fire started to grow bigger, forming the silhouette of a snake and opening its eyes, but it didn't just have two eyes.

It eyes were numerous, and when I looked at the snake, my mind went blank and my body went limp. Higura, who saw me like that, also looked towards the snake. He also felt the same thing.

One thing is for sure, we fucked up.
