Without Veritas providing his own repertoire of Quirks for Teacher to sell, Teacher found himself in a... strenuous, situation. Morgan Rothberg, the mob boss of the "Board of Directors", would finally have the excuse to exact his revenge. While Teacher wasn't averse to wiping out the gang in its entirety, he felt that doing so might have drawbacks to any future attempt to sell to the gangs of Tier Five.
Having a reputation of killing customers when they've stopped buying- it wasn't a reputation that drew in new customers. The fact that the leader of the Board had it in for him was irrelevant.
Not to mention he now knew that the always insufferable All Might was prowling around Tier Five being a general nuisance. He didn't yet want to tangle with the superhero. He needed more resources, needed to gather more strength, and go in with a solid plan. All Might would always win in a battle of brawn- it was when brains were involved that the Hero had to try a little harder.
And so he was brought to his current situation: Waiting near the Gate to the Nexus for fresh talent to appear. If he had a new partner, with new Quirks to sell, the Board wouldn't consider him worth cutting off and wouldn't give in to their need for vengeance against him. And if they weren't trying to kill him, he wouldn't have to kill them.
Sticking to the higher Tiers would also keep him out of All Might's obnoxious spiked hair.
He was sitting on a park bench, wearing a new version of his helmet. Blindness, he decided, was for other people. He had included digital cameras in the 'eyes' of his skull mask, allowing him to see with about the same ability as anyone with natural sight. They even had a 'zoom' function, for instant binoculars!
It was with the zoom vision that he took in the sight of the group that had just entered Coruscant from the Nexus.
Promise! He decided. He liked the look of them, quite a bit. Each of them, he could tell, had the potential to be real Villains, on the small chance any of them weren't already. A nefarious inky brute with shark teeth. A white-and-violet demon. A man with a savage mask and no skin. A woman with natural armor, skeletal wings, and an ethereal glow, not to mention the two bug monsters obviously devoted to her every word. And, rounding off the group, a... more-or-less regular looking young man. But in such company, looks would be deceiving.
Teacher stood, and advanced towards the group.
As he came closer- he felt it. The wave of new Quirks at his disposal, as soon as they entered the range of his Enhanced Senses. The bug-woman in particular, but the man without skin was no slouch either. The ink monster's Quirks were... well, still useful. And to think, there was a live human trapped underneath all that black ooze. A real villain, for sure.
But the other two... no Quirks he could copy at all. Disappointing. But also a chance for opportunity. They might be open to becoming his students and buying Quirks from him, but it wasn't like either of them were powerless. The more human-looking one, in particular, he could tell had enormous potential as a student. He had one of the same abilities as Teacher: He could learn how to copy Quirks as well.
"I hope I'm not interrupting." he greeted, before extending his hand. "My name is 'Rei', but you may call me Teacher." Teacher said with a grin, "And I believe I have a business proposition for you all that you might well find interesting. I'm searching for other powerful Primes with which to do business."
Freeza turned his eyes on the man, "...What kind of business?"
"I deal in superpowers. I buy and sell them, on a commission by commission basis. You lend me your strength, I lend that strength out to others, at a profit, and then distribute that profit back to you." Teacher held out his hand, "Would any of you care for a free sample?" he asked, offering a copy of his Arm Coiling Air Propulsion ability to any takers willing to shake his hand.

Quote:Teacher is absolutely a fan of villains, and should Freeza, Zedd, or Kerrigan offer to recruit him, instead of taking Teacher's offer of employing them, he would definitely agree to follow them, if they asked respectfully. Venom or Serraph he would agree to a partnership with, if they asked.
