As a result of the attack, the world came to truly know the League of Villains.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClSuQ3AFdP
Out of the 30 students present, 11 were kidnapped.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpucbEhysP
Five from Class 1-A and six from Class 1-B.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyw1VvfXso
Out of the six pro heroes present, two were kidnapped, three were injured, and one was murdered.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRPm4CB956
Not a single villain was captured, while two quirk beasts were slain.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS5JwavVrd
All of this was told to the news by one of the students who single-handedly saved those still with us.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6av9hlMNuG
A student.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaedXeSFlnL
Not a pro hero.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu1zxiGIRv
That fact alone caused things to spiral.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjRl3TD1gN
“Following last month’s hot topics of the attack on U.A, the Hero Killer case, and the Hosu Incident, now we have the biggest mass-kidnapping case of the decade. People are questioning, “What are the pros doing?” How can we trust them when even their best defenses crumble to common criminals? When a simple child can-”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGjTd5QR26
Before the new anchor could go on, the TV was crushed by a green energy field.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb104suBiR
The conference room was thick with the mixture of anger and depression. And the one that could bring some joy to the mix with a joke is gone, too heartbroken over his friend’s death.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ3WOsv0ee
A death not covered by the media.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24dv1GGzLU
Yes, Aizawa’s passing was covered up to save some face. For these villains to not only kidnap pros and students but to kill one of their best, it was too much of an insult. Add on that a student had to step up to solve the problem.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DCS9TPuUB
How would that make the higher-ups look? So they silenced it and made it look like Aizawa was captured as well.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGp1QWCnBM
Therefore, there was no funeral, not a public one anyway. This left the teachers, alongside Izuku’s sisters, to pick up the pieces.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMNLtPzPA1
But what could they do about the situation but wait? There were no leads. Tatsumaki has been searching for these monsters for months and found nothing. They weren’t going to suddenly run into them now.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTL0SUXJUF
So they sit, contemplate, and boil in their failure. The one with the heaviest guilt, though, wasn’t the sisters; it was All Might.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36GNupjmnl
Fists clenched hard enough to bleed and head hung low, he thinks back to the past.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnY7HRWTkq
All Might: ‘If only I didn’t push him away… ’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCiFZQjc19
Azreal wasn’t the only villain, but it was clear he’s the strongest tool in their arsenal. And All Might was the one to send him straight into the arms of All For One. All those years ago, when he was a kid not that different from Midoriya.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyIobOiX6x
All Might: ‘If I only helped him then… ’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7SvybpEE8
Tatsumaki: “We’re weak.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlfp4m9Q5e
The teachers turn to the strangely calm Tatsumaki. In some ways, that was even more terrifying.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczvwquvEAN
Midnight: “What?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc70nIEVXX
Tatsumaki: “Peace, All Might’s era, made heroes weak. Even… me. Why are we doing summer camps? Why are we doing school festivals and internships as if everything is normal? Nothing about this is normal. We’re at war, and we should be acting like it.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI1FcaqaXY
Nezu: “What would you suggest?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJCUVALvlE
Tatsumaki: “We go to war. We train for it, defend like we are in one, and retaliate without mercy.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1FuHpEuel
Midnight: “That’s unreasonable. You can’t-”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR0VMfUUAh
Tatsumaki: “Why not?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeJhAbonfX
Said with an eeriness and delivered with a stare that shut down any more words from Midnight.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47C42BouTA
Tatsumaki: “Until this is resolved by me or All Might, that is what is required.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWBooL2RHm
Snipe: “So we’re soldiers now?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUOzO8nYgY
Tatsumaki: “In a way, that’s what we always were.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpdknsPB2i
Snipe: “… And here I thought I put that behind me.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKiyWv0pUy
Nezu: “Be that as it may, we still can’t do anything at the moment.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CbPl5Rq8P
Tatsumaki: “There is one thing. Tell me, Nezu, how did they know where to attack? Is Apotheosis that smart or are our defense that weak?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbOgUZnmAQ
Nezu: “What are you suggesting?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkZqZLWkBu
Tatsumaki: “A traitor.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7BueaC38c
The word makes them stiffen. A traitor? Among the pros?
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zyhmgjA1j
Tatsumaki: “Only the teachers and pros involved knew the location.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipAZSIWx3b
Midnight: “Tornado, stop.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEMpkcXUGb
Tatsumaki: “No. If I can’t be out there, then I will do something here.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXsWmDNhyz
Snipe: “And how do you suppose we do that?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnojL8AVNxn
Tatsumaki: “Easy, Fubuki!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWThEcZaoF
Without warning, her little sister entered the room, instantly lowering the temperature within. It is true that their brother has grown strong enough to not only save almost everyone by himself, but also come out without much injury. But the fact he, alongside his friends and Kiri, was placed in harm’s way again doesn’t lessen their anger.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRU1ZVNMYV
Snipe: “What is this?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0AvaGTHM8
Tatsumaki: “My sister has grown much stronger recently and can probably find out if the traitor is in this room. All you have to do is let her read your mind and memories.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKbSeJIjlL
Midnight: “That is a severe breach of privacy.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeka9m0umbv
Tatsumaki: “Not if you have something to hide. I did say we are at war; I wasn’t bluffing.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62mRXgpbDr
The older sister doesn’t see the quick glance of worry Fubuki sends her way. The cold calmness reminds her too much of the past. But considering the circumstances…
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNswf1SmcEX
Fubuki: ‘As long as it doesn’t affect our family… maybe… we need that old Tatsumaki back. At least until this is over.’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhkRPOf9Bd
Not like Tatsu needs to be so overprotective when her siblings are growing in power steadily.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBdIkj3xTB
Nezu: “If it will make you feel better, I consent.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9h6CnSXFy
Tatsumaki: “Good.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbdgMqS0Bl
All Might would have also consented; that way he would be forced to confront his past sins. But before he could, his phone rang.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiNSFIBgEz
All Might: “Sorry, sorry, I have to take this call.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo86vVQTBO8
Tatsumaki: “Fine, we’ll do you last. Not like I suspect you anyway.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEIgEf8Lxt
All Might: “Thank you.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBaYUsElRZ
Stepping out of that tension sauna, All Might sighs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeEZgY6JJ3
All Might: ‘… I couldn’t even protect my own students… or my friend… again, All For One takes someone from me. Some ‘Symbol of Peace’ I am… I have no right to call myself a hero… ’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5pi7iJeS0
Taking a breath, he answers the call to escape the darkness of his own mind.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWjbI7Hkco
All Might: “What is it, Tsukauchi?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx15ZQmURO
Tsukauchi: “I have good news; we may have found the League of Villains’ whereabouts!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNcMqGReQb
The old hero’s eyes shoot up; energy fills his lungs as his body unconsciously prepares for battle.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbgoDQeMkY
Tsukauchi: “A few weeks ago, one of my subordinates was conducting an investigation. We learned of an incident where a man with a patched face was occupying a building… where there were supposedly no tenants.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ879j8Zn4to
Tsukauchi: “The man looked like he was in his 20s; we fished through records of past criminals for notable characters but found nothing. When we checked with the building owner, he mentioned there was a hideout-like bar inside the building. We decided at the time that the incident was unrelated to the investigation at hand.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKZQYQk3yg
Tsukauchi: “But one of the people who attacked the forest lodge matches the man’s description! That’s the current situation; once we verify the details, we’ll bust in there. This is all top secret; I’m only telling you because it’s you! I know you and the rest want in on this.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwbT4t3fYU
For the first time since this all started, All Might smiles.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkMaoQMHPh
All Might: “I’ve got some spectacular friends, thank you.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxyauFVTEh
As he says this, his body grows into his muscle form, ready to take the fight to the enemy.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh0USY2FMF
All Might: “When I find those villains, this is what I’ll say to them: I came here for payback. For Aizawa.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAIVyLAcdP
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLSF6qQlut
Izuku couldn’t stay home. It was too peaceful, too bright. His mind was still sharpened by the events, and he desired to end this once and for all.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hydbBwzoO
No matter how much she pleaded, he could not stay home with his mother. Neither could Kiri; she followed him as she always does.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen6EC69pym
Now, he’s at the nearby hospital to visit those who are awake and those who are not.Sadly, Kendo wasn’t among those awake, finally succumbing to poison gas and falling into a short-term coma.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwDmRGpBUr
Walking through the front door of the hospital, a monument of his failure notices him. The tall and well-kept man with glasses walked toward Izuku. When he was within arm’s reach, he could see the bags under his eyes.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebKs782acy
It was clear he was the father of one of the kidnapped students. But despite this, the man held out his hand.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIAsitSC5Z
Minamoto: “You must be Izuku and Kiri Midoriya. My name is Koichi Minamoto. I wanted to say thank you for saving my daughters Shiho and Aoi.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrdhaaBYWG
Izuku: “B-But I didn’t save-”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmscaPyTUK
Minamoto: “I know… but I’m sure they would all be gone if not for you. So, thank you.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SOqyOYL9P
The boy looked at the offered hand and sighed. It would be better to not reject the man. So he shakes his hand.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSRXbyAov6
Izuku: “I promise, I will get Akashi back.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhmSVRtVe1
Minamoto: “I honestly should be telling you to leave it to the pro heroes. But I have a feeling you won’t stay put. I’m glad my daughter has such great friends. She… didn’t always have such things.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtSzs7fg3d
Kiri: “Adopted?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1c2SKOG0c
Switching the handshake to Kiri, Minamoto continued.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHFhAwtcR7
Minamoto: “Yes, all three of my girls were adopted. It was hard at first, but worth it. So I have no doubt Aoi and Shiho will want to go with you. I’m surprised they, along with Kanto, haven’t torn the city apart looking for her.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhOsVbIMDl
After giving his handshake, the man took a moment before asking for something irresponsible.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW63EIZ23aW
Minamoto: “I-I’m not a hero. I can’t save them, and I can’t stop them when they jump into danger. So if Shiho, Aoi, and Kanto do decide to join you, please… protect them.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgXN3oDctK
The boy further hardens himself and declares the future.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVi0U8pdK6
Izuku: “As long as I’m alive, nothing will happen to them or anyone else.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgOjqPdzMK
Sighing in relief, the man smiles.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2c6Hsv7Qd
Minamoto: “You know, I believe you.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo7HDikmZB
Minamoto gave a small bow and made his way outside. But not before saying something that stirred something in Izuku.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3iGMHhqhZ
Minamoto: “You remind me a lot of All Might. You really make it seem like it will all be okay.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglamDDOVta
The boy turns around too late; the man is gone, but the words linger.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPhQTD11dV
Izuku: ‘Me? Like All Might?’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6DIvOfxlL
He looks at his palm before balling it into a fist.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso9z4cIiOB
Izuku: ‘All the more reason why I can’t fail.’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln97HGf26V
A soft hand covers his, easing the growing tension.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagj6wQ4RRU
Izuku: “Kiri?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDAYAGu5mL
Kiri: “Not alone. Save them together.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiKIhRfH46
Izuku: “… Right. I’m not alone in this.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF8tKUAeLo
With that, the prince scans the whole building and calls everyone who is awake to meet him in a particular room. The one where the Pussy Cats are in.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCMnIV865r
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoWnuHkSvj
Kiri: “Mama Cat… ”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqkbaRJjLt
The duo was the first ones to find and enter the room. Mandalay was the only one awake. To the right of her bed was a badly injured Tiger, and to the left was Pixie-Bob, still out due to a concussion. It’s been a whole day, and still they haven’t stirred.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx6dcQGYuk
The only reason she was awake was because Kota clearly held back. A fact that was possible due to Mandalay being caught off-guard.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGIPxKqjZr
Mandalay: “Kiri… Midoriya… what are you doing here?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdudQp6EWqg
Izuku: “I thought you should hear what we plan to do. Maybe you’d want to join.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq5yl1WRjx
Mandalay hangs her head low and swallows the bile rising. She knows what they plan to do. She should warn them off, to trust the pros, but…
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDKCmjjWW7
Mandalay: “Kota… if it means I can see him again… save him from whatever happened… then I’ll join you. I know you plan on saving everyone.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyl0ggyfKU
Sabrina: “Good.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ1GvBJHok
The two turn to the next to show up, the psychic girls. They… look awful. Clearly, they didn’t take the news well.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjjgVERmAY
Sabrina: “When do we leave, and how do we find them?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvoXs7j1LE
Izuku: “First, we wait for everyone. I didn’t just contact you three.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTjyPtsBkt
Shiho: “The longer we take-”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUoOFle4mC
Izuku: “I know. But rushing won’t help us. Besides, everyone deserves a chance to help.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugxHtrJBGl
Aoi: “But the larger the group-”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIOQS8euoc
Bakugo: “So what!?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvP9bTRWpm
At last, the rest of the students that had the strength to wake up quickly arrived.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaXPR86vRA
Following behind Bakugo were Tokoyami, Tsuyu, Ida, and Todoroki.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKECcKd3t1Z
Bakugo: “You think you can just leave us behind after what happened?! No way! I’m going to kill that scarred bastard myself!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyCHU75NEC
Izuku: ‘You might get your chance.’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUbdz7f8bf
Ida: “So it’s true… ”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQVbJBhv4j
Taking a stand in front of the unreadable Izuku, Ida let his objections become known.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVllxxilny
Ida: “You want to save everyone? After barely getting out of there alive.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve8X2bXeMX
Izuku: “Yes.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36yRfHQmDS
Ida: “Y-You idiot! This is a matter that should be left to the professionals! This is not something students should be messing with! Please, Miss Mandalay, speak some sense into them!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMc7RZF7dd
He pleads with her, but she can only shake her head.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7iHcAKjUr
Mandalay: “Ida… you were there… you saw how… we failed. The only reason why we weren’t also captured was because of Midoriya.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jVnILvfQS
Ida: “That’s even more of a reason to not go! They won’t let him escape again; they’ll be prepared! And if Midoriya is taken out again-”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XIK5A8Eyu
Bakugo: “So what do you suggest, Four Eyes!? Sit around and do nothing!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJTNvgxdJz
Ida: “No, trust in the pros! They’ll figure something out!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tL3kanoZC
Todoroki: “Calm down, both of you. We’re in a hospital.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahDSYMHB8X
The two take a step back and look away from each other before they come to blows.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyMZtBLVIu
Todoroki: “None of this matters if we can’t track them. Midoriya, do you have a plan?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT0gSdtJN0
They look to see the boy nod.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrWUVgdrum
Izuku: “Momo and I have a connection. Like with Kiri, I can sense where she is. It will feel like a general direction the further she is though. I also can only sense her if she isn’t compressed by that strange quirk I saw.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZoHPk5fHC
Tokoyami: “Then-”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS8GSdEg5L
Izuku: “Yes, I sensed her not long after everyone checked into the hospital. And she only moved once, from what I can tell.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDsTiP2gG1
Sabrina: “Then let’s not waste time.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IkJTTelyS
Ida: “Stop messing around! You’re all getting carried away!!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqA8gRA1Cw
Aoi: “What’s your problem! In case you didn’t get it, your friends were kidnapped! Your teacher was killed! Don’t you care!?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgovwTE5fro
Eyes bloodshot, hands red with tension, Ida looked at the girl with barely contained grief and anger.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCODlxqUbci
Ida: “I know… but that’s why we can’t do it. Sensei… is gone… and I… I can’t… I can’t lose anyone else. Please… ”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy9KVxxeL2
Aoi’s eyes soften along with everyone else present. First his brother, then the leg, now this? How much more must the boy lose?
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON6pqavsN6
Izuku: “You won’t lose anyone else, Ida.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcNsLA8372
Ida: “How can you be sure?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe7pDCsBW0
As much as Izuku wants to say otherwise, that he can do it, there are no guarantees. He’ll survive; he’s powerful enough to say that. But what about everyone else?
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfBxQUJc98
The silence was enough of an answer. Ida turns to leave, but not before leaving them with this.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU9nqspwer
Ida: “Please, Midoriya, don’t put yourself and others at unnecessary risk.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKatk5r0ugp
After leaving, the room was silent for a time, letting Ida’s words settle in their minds. After a minute, Tsuyu was the next to speak.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHZuW4RPfv
Tsuyu: “I agree with Ida.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqa1HP1GOo
Tokoyami: “Tsuyu… ”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc1oVKJrRb
Tsuyu: “We’re all still in shock after… what happened. But we could make things worse if we go. More than that, we’re not licensed heroes. No matter how we feel, we’re not allowed to break the law like that. If we start doing so, then eventually we’ll be no different than vil-”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPj8gQD9i9
Izuku: “Then leave.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ463NZEE11a
Suddenly, that feeling came back, and Tsuyu felt like she was in front of a predator. One whose eyes glow with an emerald fury.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD2nnnGsLt
Izuku: “I don’t care what you think or what we decide to do; we are not villains. Do you understand?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttcYh52AqY
Tokoyami: “Midoriya, that’s enough.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBMLDkxlme
Noticing that he is starting to scare her, the boy reigned in his power.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpgG54Khma
Izuku: “I-I’m sorry. I-”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScSQU0VYhM
Not saying anything more, Tsuyu turned to leave. Partly out of fear, but also a desire to escape what is quickly spiraling out of control. Still, the love she has for her friends won out and allowed her to speak once more.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNbRg9AD97
Tsuyu: “P-Please… don’t go. We’ve lost enough.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UKwlBc3Ag
And with that, the room was fully depressed. Enough was enough.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tLWkN35We
Izuku: “… Fine, we won’t go.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3hrYVLipk
Bakugo: “Hah!?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPjrkY7a8P
Kiri: “Izu… ”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSQNTZvCEq
Izuku: “She’s right. We shouldn’t risk anything else.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJRud0LTAc
Pushing past them, the boy left it all behind. He didn’t look back to see some of their knowing looks. An hour later, Izuku was outside and prepared to do it all alone.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hpw8xQzgb
Izuku: ‘There’s no risk if I go alone. I should be the only one that-’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf2ydmg3kB
Sabrina: “We expected as much.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S1pFKwmIz
Out of the darkness of the night emerged the psychic girls along with Bakugo, Todoroki, and Mandalay.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8kWMgOqHT
But it was more than them; Izuku could also sense Kiri on the rooftop in her Valkyrie form.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV80lj3P0Hc
Izuku: “What are you doing here!?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8nCPEJfLo
Mandalay: “They suspected you would try to do it all yourself. And I did say I wanted to try and reach Kota.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQRVJcL0y9
Aoi: “There’s no way you’re leaving us behind.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy19sNvqM0
Bakugo: “I still have to pay those bastards back for what they did! You’re not stopping me, Deku!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H8xyZyuhu
Izuku: “But-”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4DjHXZCqf
The words die on his lips when he sees their determination.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj85Y7TBqdD
Izuku: ‘Nothing I say will change their minds will it? Just like me… I’ll just have to protect them then. At all costs.’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHGuTOT7dY
Izuku: “Fine.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQzXlKS2sY
Izuku: “Kiri, I can sense you too. You can come too. Please, be careful.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgsagGPGra
Kiri: “Nh. Will save Udders. Umbra keeps Treetop company while gone.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9tVo2Su83
Izuku: “Understood.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoy62JXfI3
Izuku: ‘Back to Udders, huh?’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJboo0pkPyg
Mandalay: “Good. Now don’t worry about legal consequences. I’ll take full responsibility. I won’t let anyone come after you all.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITYdgHADrR
Izuku: “… Thank you.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4KCBJgzkn
Shiho: “So, can we go now?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K7Bgm9rJK
Not quite, since out of the hospital came a still smoldering Ida.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1oabBNQty
Ida: “So you’re going?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNofSC90dd5
Izuku: “Yes.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOZ2aN33ht
Ida: “Why… of all people… why you two… ”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqD6RZ9zr9
He says while looking at Izuku and Todoroki.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kIANFKjsx
Ida: “The two of you who saved me when I did something just like this. Why are you two making the same mistake I made!?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI69PZTiyR
Izuku: “This isn’t the same.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiuiWAEx55
Ida: “Isn’t it!? Even with a pro’s assistance and blessing, you’re still going out for vengeance! I can see it your eyes! Same with Bakugo!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tKfxI8FaS
Bakugo: “And what of it!?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1YHDBXwRG
Ida: “You’ll end up just like me if you go with that kind of rashness!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTqjF8yOVi
Aoi: “Well, that’s them. As for the rest of us, we’re not doing this for vengeance. We just want to save our friends.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVcOQvVZ0v
She’s right, but Izuku can also see the truth in Ida’s words. Bakugo clearly wants payback, and so does he. The boy only just now realized how he almost fell into that trap again.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBjWuPfCVF
Izuku: ‘Save first, defeat later. Right… anything else would dishonor Aizawa’s memory and his teachings. We’re heroes, not villains.’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50ogg1lDxQ
Izuku: “You’re right, Ida, I do want vengeance.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD0dJ7YAEi
Mandalay: “Midoriya?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGZ3Lgurzo
Ida: “Then-”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcdzkEzcWE
Izuku: “But I won’t let that cloud my judgment. This is a rescue mission, first and foremost. As much as a part of me wants to, I won’t fight.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEFaqOKOXf
Izuku: ‘Unless I have to.’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJSMhDs6uv
Aoi: “So no combat, huh?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8cYzAxnoU
Todoroki: “We don’t need to confront them head-on to save our friends.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKLRcUFjLs
Shiho: “And that way, we won’t break any rules.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU3GUeFtZg
Mandalay: “Exactly! So, Ida, knowing that, will you join us?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwcv6q1bc6
Ida: “… What about Bakugo?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT76g7vfMO
The group looks at the growling boy, who eventually conceded, shockingly.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSclfK6FbU
Bakugo: “Fine! Let’s just go!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS2eh5h1nu
Sabrina: “Agreed.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPc0GXCvSq
Ida: “… Alright. I’ll join you. To help with making sure none of you do anything to jeopardize the mission!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySVgBm4Rki
Izuku: “Haha, alright. Follow me, everyone, stay close.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZJDxbPIcC
With everything finally settled, the group enters into the night in search of their taken friends.
