Well, the tournament hasn’t even started yet, and there are already problems.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUkPYt5Z6y
Shinso’s team wanted to back out due to them not remembering anything during the human cavalry match. All due to Shinso’s quirk, apparently. One of them was Tetsutesu, who was about to start a fight with Shinso right there.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyOr3rXqoK
It was only thanks to Kendo from class B convincing him to stay in the tournament to pay back Shinso properly that things settled down.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcKgeAXk0i
The whole ordeal actually got Midnight’s loving approval. The integrity and youthful energy were enough for her to approve the withdrawals. Especially since the number was an even 22. Everything was ready to continue.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3kQrE0IRw
That was until someone else tried to pull out, a person who surprised everyone.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhLMnKWbw4
Shiho: “I would also like to withdraw from the tournament.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVo8K3H6bp
Midnight: “Oh, and what’s your reason?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIfya9Tw8F
Shiho: “My quirk is not really suited to combat. I don’t see a point. But I could do it if I were given a gun or something. I’m pretty good with those.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtF88gEwFX
Everyone: “A gun!?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW67UXIkepK
Kirishima: “What is she trying to do, kill us?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOK8is99zP
Mina: “To be fair, this whole festival has been trying to do that.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT6yxV2S1e
Kaoru: “Come on, Shiho, how about just a sword or something? A gun is… a bit far.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryQAbCS21z
Shiho: “I suppose. And think Ms.Creation over there could create one for me. That would be nice.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBsTHEgsGY
Shiho and everyone else look towards Momo, who was still deep in thought.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbsuDcRod4
Momo: “H-Huh?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4hei5Ka4U
Shiho: “I said, could you create a sword for me? That way I can participate in the tournament, and we can have an even number.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSMXt4LNhn
Even though Momo was stuck in her mind for a bit, it didn’t take her long to realize what was happening. She couldn’t really say no; otherwise there would be an awkward odd number.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgVL6RjCiB
But if Shiho can have what is essentially a support item, then so could everyone else. Besides, she knows Mei will use hers.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRAVTBiUr3
Momo: “Of course. If it also means I can create some things for Kyoka as well.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2JkBrh0Qs
Jiro: “H-huh? Y-You don’t have to do that.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4vslNzWGI
Momo: “It’s fine, I want to. You shine the best when you have your own specialized equipment.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyJ2JFvuwF
Jiro: “T-Thanks, Momo.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4qWDo6ZD6
Shiho smiles at the pair before turning back to Midnight.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbuJSvTCHn
Shiho: “So, would that be fine, Midnight?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRGihqAjh2
Midnight: “Such heartwarming friendship! Of course, I approve! It will also allow us to keep an even number, so that’s a plus.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwer97KOYu
With permission granted, Momo created a katana for Shiho. It wasn’t as sharp as it could be but it will still do damage if the opponent is not careful.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgxWzC6nB4
When Momo handed it to Shiho, the young esper’s eyes flashed a light blue.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnu4FvUM5D
Shiho: “Thank you, I’ll be sure to put this to good use.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvEwE00xbl
Momo notices nothing and simply nods before walking towards Jiro. She creates something else Izuku and she have been theorizing about.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFNnwlOVrI
Momo: “Here, Kyoka, Midoriya and I came up with this during our training. Inspired by some old comics, it should help focus your quirk. Like the boots in your hero costume, but not as powerful.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1HQMVwSN9
Jiro is handed what seems like a wrist-mounted blaster with a hole for her earphone jacks.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn3TGEaFim
Jiro: “Heh, Sannomiya is the one who asked for a gun, and yet I’m the one getting it. Still, thanks, Momo.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IcJMl67Wr
Momo: “I know you’ll do great.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolcsLnDtdc
They smile and nod at each other before returning back to the front.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSxKXxIAvy
Midnight: “All right, now that everything is in order, it is time to determine who fights whom through lottery. Once the match ups are decided, the fighters prepare for five to ten minutes while everyone else can view the battle in the reserved stands.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqfyuUPNeK
With the plan set, everyone picked a number randomly from the box in Midnight’s hands. After 10 minutes, the match ups for the first round were decided.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuvEvvFBsG
Midoriya vs Shinso
Todoroki vs Sero
Tae vs Nogami
Ibara vs Denki
Ida vs Hatsume
Ashido vs Jiro
Kirishima vs Tetsutetsu
Bakugo vs Uraraka
Kanto vs Honenuki
Akashi vs Tokoyami
Yaoyorozu vs Sannomiya
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV42GhRHB60
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0YvvzFObW
The reactions were varied.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF5PaPRBax
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE56xNO40f9
Momo looked at Shiho, who smiled back at her. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to give her that sword.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjvPxmOd19
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgloM7oaRzT
Next was Bakugo, who seemed confused at who he was going to fight.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8eJyLjoZB
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaLPDpKGsu
Bakugo: “Uraraka?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnlQkVagtV
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL5fTJqpHM
Uraraka: “EEEEK!”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UcaepyF17
Mei, seeing another opportunity to advertise her babies, approached her opponent.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04e5kgIeV4
Mei: “Are you Ida?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPlKkSbzRZ
Ida: “Hm? I am.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQZ8M77z8F
Mei: “Scooooore!! I’m happy, since actually… ”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFhAbWwuBT
Then there is the young esper, Izuku Midoriya. His eyes narrow at where he is placed in the tournament.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylIM0Wlwhp
Izuku: ‘I’ll face Todoroki in round 2, and if I win… I’ll have to fight Kiri.’
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEufk1eXrFC
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqCB6F8rnV
He shakes his head, banishing any worrying thoughts.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlDKntaYcQ
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4qtbGqnMs
Izuku: ‘I shouldn’t worry about that now! It won’t matter if I lose here! My opponent is thatShinso guy. I have to prep-’
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1k90AjE38
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzyVsgCLWo
Shinso: “It’s you, correct? Midoriya Izuku?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTThAlHZBQ
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSf8ZK5M1F
Izuku: “Huh!? Oh, yeah, that’s me.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLNbj93FYL
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHfYwghKD3
Shinso: “Mmm, good luck. You’ll need it.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX82cr0JjZ
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXjVgXUM9t
As Shinso walks away, Izuku feels something, but he can’t really put his finger on it. Tetsutesu saw the exchange and clicked his tongue in annoyance before joining everyone else.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CfzB1pzoB
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRmCSH6iih
Finally, there was Kiri. She had no doubt her brother would win his matches. She’ll probably win as well. That means they’ll have to fight against each other.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaezPBkaU3
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuQE64gHcb
She breathes out and accepts this fact. She doesn’t want to fight him, but she won’t hold back.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipmLkw45tZ
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wUCq5SNfj
Kiri: ‘It wouldn’t be fair to him. He deserves my best, especially if I want him to give me his.’
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimj2FBNECg
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK5wzpbWEt
She gives one last look at Izuku before joining her class in the stands.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmatlxkf2c

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pnnHgPeQw
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNXM4DL0zE
Izuku takes a breath and steps out into the arena.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCOfaLWRH5
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySQRc11kPu
Izuku: ‘I can’t lose here. All Might and my family are expecting great things from me. I won’t let them down!’
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6oCYvWFVB
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsynCBwiJpx
He walks up to stand in front of Shinso, who rubs his neck in boredom.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAruY2Amif
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6vbKAsNSZ
Present Mic: “MATCH ONE! The vice president of class 1-A, the department of heroics, Izuku Midoriya!! VERSUS!! Sorry, you haven’t done anything really notable or eye-catching yet! Department of general education, Hitoshi Shinso!”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC2eVXpS4e
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdKLpVzioE

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAVUA7TxG0
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGnxKa3ybm
Present Mic: “Feel free to wound!! We have our recovery girl waiting in the wings!! But don’t go too far, nothing potentially lethal, or you’re out! If it goes too far; our Cementoss or the famous Tornado will step in. And trust me, you don’t want that happening!”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgiPUp7d89
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQITqRGcDp
Shinso: “You get it, don’t you, Izuku Midoriya? This is a battle to test your heart. If you have a strong vision for your future, then you can’t worry over how you realize it.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBYOaq93t4
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqfiiEYsNm
For some reason, those words… resonate with Izuku. He has a strong vision for his future. But he does worry about how he’ll realize it.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcCOyVCF3Z
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WVkQ2B4bb
Present Mic: “REAAAADYYYYY?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6alKL7iOaB
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Etyb4v3Oc

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfLxt04h2d
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveSyicmE3G
Izuku’s eyes flash green, his power ready to push Shinso clean off the stage. But Shinso doesn’t look worried; instead he softly laughs.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw4hXtloMx
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZNFprmoTz
Shinso: “I’m not.”

Something was wrong. As soon as his mind touched Midoriya’s, Shinso was taken elsewhere.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nPfaWTTR4
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkkJbHAVQp
It looked like a large, empty street. It’s night, or at least very dark. The white streetlights were the only source of light. Seems normal, but he knew better. He can feel it in the distance.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxNtprgh6g

There are several buildings, large and ominous, shrouded by pitch black. They’re only visible at their peaks; the bases of each stretched infinitely down into the void.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34CX9Wc2Tg

Shinso: “W-Where-”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMxGxhTFib

Something was watching him.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5t2Eqj0Vv
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKeLsSlN4y
His skin bristles as the intense sense of foreboding consumes him. They were hidden in those depths, small specks of pale light that looked like eyes. But that’s not what sends him running in the other direction, desperate for an exit.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuJtr0nfKj

It was that THING!
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpe2MF4tcy
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4h8OR6TR0
It emerges from the black, hovering silently towards Shinso, getting ever closer. Its vestige was indescribable, beyond this world and its petty laws.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4FORXgL7G

No matter how far Shinso runs, it doesn’t change a thing. Destiny still arrives.

Shinso stops, his body not his own, and turns around to bow his head in deference. The only saving grace was that he no longer had to see the creature.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxby8Gf6wS8
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70jzDkWf0s
But that small mercy is swallowed when he feels several tendrils bite into his body with their teeth. His screams of pain are swallowed by the shadows.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0NrYIxhve
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5YheYNLxz
What he could hear was something slithering through his skin and veins. Something foreign was invading his mind, body, and soul.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqsyZF25FK
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodz1lVZsex
That something, when it fully took over, started to melt his body. Cell by cell, it was breaking him down to nothing. When everything is said and done, Shinso will join the prince under the green sun.

Only a second passed. In that second, Izuku lost consciousness, and Shinso’s mind and soul were taken. It wasn’t Izuku’s fault; Shinso shouldn’t have entered the boy’s mind without permission.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqEAhMNBqW
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm25xnnFz5I
But Izuku wouldn’t see it that way, not when the first thing he hears is the bloodcurdling screams.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcVC93w6vp
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdo54rG5J1
Not when he can feel a growing shift within his mind.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9XNjGe3LY

Not when he sees Shinso fall back in abject terror. Eyes wide and sweat dripping down his face.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4Mw9Qpsvu

There was only one thing Shinso could say before losing consciousness.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHEH8LDdBz

Silence fell upon the entire stadium. No soul wasn’t shaken by that unnatural scream. Izuku could feel their fearful eyes on him, demanding answers to their questions.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYRcHswIdn

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b0rJW3oyr
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7cwFK64UC
He watched as Shinsou was taken to Recovery Girl. He was passive as Midnight told him to leave the arena. He was silent when All Might came to take him to his family.

The three friends laugh, trying to lighten the atmosphere. But it didn’t affect Sabrina much. She was still focused on the future.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdVIqYtQs1
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPebyZBsV6
Sabrina: ‘If anyone, it should be me to face him. Especially considering his relationship with that Tae girl…’

Recovery Girl was taking care of Shinso in her office, and the results were… unbelievable. Right now, Aizawa and Vlad were there as well, hoping for some answers when Shinso wakes up. But all they got were more questions.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJJod8VJZC
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDskrx6Fa7x
Vlad: “What do you mean he’s in more than perfect health?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNigjVh8kD
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBUAx6wUOl
Recovery Girl: “I mean, his body is in a better condition than before he stepped foot on that stage. Even now, his body is being optimized by… something. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VtLHjtlUF
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerHFRqzmPM
Vlad: “What kind of quirk could do this? Neither Shinso nor Midoriya has a quirk that can do it.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOxzU33qIB
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiODjdHL2V
Aizawa: “Midoriya’s quirk is versatile, but this… is different.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhEk2V0fdZ
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yltcb1Fdv
Vlad: “With Tornado here, not to mention the Blizzard group, a villain couldn’t have done this.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX48vTLjW5n
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQo0EfqbJZ
Aizawa: “So, we have no idea what happened.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvTE05KDs5
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lmLLhr6BN
Recovery Girl: “No, and I have no idea why the boy isn’t awake. Maybe the process needs to finish.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6YQCjE7q2
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlL5YgxW7m
Vlad: “And what then? What is he becoming?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNl5NWnB5x
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSJsPWFiw8

Back in the villain's base, Apotheosis nearly broke his pen when he saw what happened. He was taking notes on everyone in the festival; it was a goldmine of data.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5naphotcg
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstoKomYDLB
In particular, he found Mei Hatsume and her inventions to be interesting. That was a mind worth molding.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveRyDSvHYe
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUjG4s7o4w
But of course, it was his half-brother that took the real spotlight. And he did it by revealing his ability to mind-fuck his opponent. He still suffers nightmares from when Fubuki pulled that crap.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4vyDvc18A
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr6dWKLfUH
Apotheosis: “Of course he can do that.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHU8mbcyaf
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7noV718vWV
Azrael: “How comes the psychic disruptor?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxZp0EGzdO
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzG0MfJPej
Apotheosis: “… Along. Don’t rush perfection.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1yJroymOK
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7zQufPHOu
Tomura: “We don’t need perfection, strategist! We just need it to be able to take a hit.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sVMARKXnC
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN862jJJbn
Azrael: “Or be portable.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFlvcBuStc
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUk9BaJPOa
Apotheosis: “Yeah, yeah. Where would you two be without me? I’ll get right on it.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmysH7Nx4cT
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZPI2pdMh0
Apotheosis: ‘After I finish the current stage of my big project. If I can finish it, even Tatsumaki will have to bow before me.’

As he fantasizes about the future, the communication TV turns on. The villains expected it to be All For One, but instead it was only silence.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlihi6aWgo
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAbXFlUZiE
Tomura: “What? Is it broken?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn5FakpWMv
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdwnA1vLjQ
Azrael: “Unlikely, unless… ”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdyo99t9Ai
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70oahDvrfE
Apotheosis: “Don’t look at me. I never touched it.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8nRTCCUXA
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kovH6vPor
Just then, a voice came through. It sounded like someone on the verge of a panic attack.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWyAhFKNZI
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk0oGh2fzk
???: “You must kill that boy.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9IeLdMnnN
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbdp7zWjfJ
After a moment, they recognized the voice. Even Kurogiri stopped to look at the screen with confusion.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti9ng6RaVu
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpAqoR94dd
Azrael: “Gyoro Gyoro? What is wrong?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqND1nf7I7W
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCAhaIrkld
Gyoro: “You must kill that boy.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zOghtHSyY
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgA8W2AJEl
Apotheosis: “Yes, we know. It is on the to-do list.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lyj0V14h9
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdkG4poz2o
Gyoro: “No, it will be your top priority from now on.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsye2wXta5
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS72oJJUuje
Tomura narrows his eyes at the TV and lets out a low growl.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpICpBZkqU
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzojGDoQvk
Tomura: “You are not sensei. You don’t get to order us around.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm4wmpKWbP
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXjBa8AXPX
Gyoro: “Fool! This is more important than… ”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETDB9iGGu1
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcuk1RCIpH
The quirk beast took a breath before continuing.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTtgdsAeGQ
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bjqgsX5tn
Gyoro: “Forgive me, I will inform All For One about this soon. I just didn’t think it was… true.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWfn9eGNvX
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTS3rSTrSO
Apotheosis: “What?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbylfilc0q
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHL4ffnXmG
Gyoro: “One of my… creations had the ability to see the future.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkXCPp52zc
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO12CFFN7hD
Apotheosis: “Bull.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHhPIAt8CQ
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSK6KGHDH4
Gyoro: “Believe what you will. But those visions nearly drove her mad. And almost every single one of them revolved around… that boy.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfj2NXx0Sb
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlFAnzHN6J
Tomura: “Him? That kid?!”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVolTTzG6N
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtoedumOwS
Gyoro: “Like you all, he is only a caterpillar. But when he becomes a butterfly, he’ll be the death of us all. The Prince of The Green Sun and his twelve apostles, making this world his footstool.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdluELrBfL
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5t9UFWZH3
Apotheosis: “That’s some… biblical stuff.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KZs4Mhroe
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TWkWfqCkv
Kurogiri: “Are you sure about this?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyL1zyj7Qk
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7IiLAhh67
Gyoro: “Yes. That’s why he must die. Make sure to kill the child he fought as well. To be safe.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdk6vuoymn
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAQ0UTz6JT
Apotheosis: “Well, well, well, in this context, aren’t we the good guys?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1aU73l2Yq
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tQl65EZwu
Apotheosis scoffs at the notion of seeing the future. The future is not set; no one can see it. Not concretely or that far, like what Gyoro is suggesting.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGf2hX8vxe
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc2SGl1gba
But one of them does take this seriously.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHL97vsEl9
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwh5wkyZ2a
Azrael: “I’ll do it.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8Etbd3l5z
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hf0gaC58x
They all look at the very serious looking Azrael.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s5YHEiVpf
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4wFYk7kWy
Apotheosis: “What? You know he’s mine. It should be me who kills him.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLstRfHP5Ik
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRlWqHJHYP
Azrael: “If Gyoro is right, this is too important to mess up. Perfect the psychic disruptor, then I’ll go and kill him. Do I have your permission, Tomura?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W9PsVpNu6
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWkrsKmisI
Tomura: “… Do what you want. I don’t believe Gyoro, but this will mean we will have one less annoying hero to worry about.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4fSPqUhN6
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I7OLMIe2G
Apotheosis: “Seriously! Just because some quirk beast freak spouts some nonsense, you’ll take my vengeance!?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJTL0iks6A
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4QB2iueeB
Azrael: “You’ll still get to do what you want with Blizzard and Tornado. Leave the boy to me, Theo. Trust me.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrkZizUQkN
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbJzzCFrDa
The two have a stare-down, one Apotheosis is losing. Even now, he can’t really argue with Azrael. Not when he seems so hellbent on it.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD32pMNPFyl
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJS3vZ3JKx
Apotheosis: “You better make him suffer and deliver his broken body to Tatsumaki.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0QMoW71OS
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CwVBSNwQX
Azrael: “Don’t worry, I’ll even record it if possible.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCPEjGsuHG
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF9jcuXGE6
Apotheosis: “Good.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzqLehHG9i
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxcJbhXDDf
Gyoro: “So he’ll die?”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYehw2zyy9J
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6f0t2NEVY
Tomura: “Yeah, he’s as good as gone.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLidcIotmsM
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgutezylSj0
Gyoro: “… Good. I… my creation can rest easy. I’m sorry for using up your time.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjnUqVVlWz
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw4b8FbLhO
The TV turns off as Gyoro cuts the connection. The room is left in silence as plans are made. Azrael takes a breath and thinks on the future.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHaoywJfo1
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1umQbPcx8p
Azrael: ‘Before he dies, I need to know… why him? All Might…’
