Fenrir: The Wolf Overlord

Chapter 20 - Overconfidence

"Aren't you a little too big? Doesn't it inconvenience you?"

All Might spoke out calmly as he looked at the huge figure of wolf before him. In response, Cipher just opened his mouth slightly and breathed out roughly through his sharp teeths.

<I will say this only once. I am not going to hold back.>

Cipher ignored what All Might said and spoke inside his head in a cold tone. He was able to speak to others in their mind due to his telepathic ability.

Putting that aside, after saying what he wanted, Cipher immediately stomped on the floor and rushed towards All Might at his full speed without waiting for a response.

His speed seemed comparable to the speed of this number one hero but he knew very well that he was slower. But his reaction time should be comparable to him and he was planning to exploit that advantage.

After reaching the hero, Cipher directly tried to bite his head off. He didn't care about his defense for now. He was given the first strike and he was going to fully take its advantage as well.

Just like he expected, All Might didn't dodge him. He simply gripped onto two of his large canine teeths and tried to pull him into a power tussle.

Unfortunate for him, Cipher wasn't foolish enough to test out his strength with the strongest hero. The moment his bite force was completely stopped, he directly smashed his large paw onto his c.h.e.s.t and pushed him backwards.

But his offense wasn't over yet. Cipher swiftly lunged at the bastard and tried to strike him for another time.

"Not gonna happen."

All Might steadied himself and punched out towards him. Cipher managed to dodge the punch at the last second. Unfortunately, the invisible force generated by the punch still hit him and sent him flying.

'Thud'

After a few second of flying through the air, Cipher hit the floor beneath him and was dragged for a few more distance. Fortunately, he wasn't seriously hurt. He stood up silently and proceeded to glare at All Might.

'...It wasn't his full strength."

Cipher gritted his teeth as he realized that All Might had held back in his punch. He wanted a fight where no one held back. But it seemed that it wasn't going to be possible.

'No. I will make it possible.'

Cipher thought and let out a short snort. He raised his front claw and motioned for All Might to approach him.

"Your overconfidence will bring you down."

All Might casually exclaimed out and rushed towards him. In response, he simply opened his mouth wide.

'You are the one who is overconfident, bastard.'

"RAAWWWRRRRRR"

Just when All Might reached near him, he let out a blood shrieking roar. But this roar was in no way comparable to his previous roar.

The roar was loud, way too loud that it might probably burst out a normal person's eardrum. Unfortunately, it probably won't work on All Might.

Cipher had already taken that suspicion into account. So, his real intentions behind the roar wasn't to hurt the hero. It was just to make All Might flinch, even for a few seconds. After all, few seconds was all that he needed.

Just like he planned, All Might flinched greatly after receiving the full brunt of his loud roar at close range.

After that, he immediately stopped his roar and mercilessly smashed his paw into the hero's c.h.e.s.t and sent him flying.

But Cipher wasn't satisfied yet. He quickly rushed forward and smashed his paw in the same place two times repeatedly. All Might had tried to protect his c.h.e.s.t at the third time. But alas, he was one step slower.

Still, All Might didn't waver and immediately punched forward. This time, Cipher managed to retreat back on time and he dodged the incoming punch, as well as the force generated by it.

The confrontation was quìck but the end result looked very grim for All Might. He was already pushed upto the wall and was stuck there.

*cough**cough*

All Might covered his mouth and secretly coughed out blood. After gathering his senses, he glared at Cipher with a look saying it all.

'He didn't even hold back when he attacked my c.h.e.s.t.'

Receiving the glare, Cipher simply grinned and showed his sharp teeths. Honestly, he didn't mean to do what he did, but he had to since All Might was not taking this fight seriously.

Another fact was his hatred for the hero. It unknowingly led him to target his c.h.e.s.t time and again, knowing very well that his c.h.e.s.t was the place where he received his injury.

But at the end, Cipher was fully refreshed and satisfied seeing All Might, who was considered to be the strongest hero, trying to protect himself so desperately.

What All Might said before had completely turned back on him.

<It is just like you said, All Might. Your overconfidence will bring you down.>

Hearing his words in his mind, All Might slowly brought his hands down and laughed out bitterly. He didn't find any words to say back.

<You better not underestimate me this time. Come at me with all of your strength.>

Yui was still worried for Cipher when the battle started. She wasn't able to stop him because he showed his unwavering determination and she wanted to respect those thoughts. But seeing the injury on his c.h.e.s.t had increased her worry by a large amount.

"...He is strong..."

But as the battle went on the other side, all of her worry turned into surprise and amazement. Yui knew that his quirk was transformation but it was her first time to see him use it, and moreover fight with it. And his fight had only surprised her till now.

Cipher had only received one indirect impact while he kept on pushing All Might from the very start. There was no way she would be able to keep herself calm. After all, the one he was winning against was the strongest number one hero.

"You are correct. Cipher is strong and experienced as well. He has a lot of potential."

An apathetic voice suddenly sounded from beside her and she was taken by surprise. She slowly turned her head and looked at the person who talked.

"...Do you think.. he will.. win?"

Yui gathered her courage and slowly asked out between her breaths. Aizawa glanced at her with a tired gaze and turned back at the two competing parties.

He could see All Might slowly standing up with a suppressing atmosphere around him. He immediately knew that All Might was serious at this point.

"No. All Might is not the number one hero for no reason."

"...I see.."

Yui responded with a soft and dejected tone. She then gave her full focus back to the battle between Cipher and All Might.

'Do your best, Cipher.'
