Well, the tournament hasn’t even started yet, and there are already problems.

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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAdNRxHXs0
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDMu48iBpq
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl5hJEp7di
That was until someone else tried to pull out, a person who surprised everyone.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAkbBFUTLr
Shiho: “I would also like to withdraw from the tournament.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVjvydpD2W
Midnight: “Oh, and what’s your reason?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ijFlit95Y
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.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTp9fOQktA
Everyone: “A gun!?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFp7jbBGfB
Kirishima: “What is she trying to do, kill us?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj58mH9y1B6
Mina: “To be fair, this whole festival has been trying to do that.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi4DP7O2R9
Kaoru: “Come on, Shiho, how about just a sword or something? A gun is… a bit far.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ576SlR4Mr9
Shiho: “I suppose. And think Ms.Creation over there could create one for me. That would be nice.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIGLAm5YTX
Shiho and everyone else look towards Momo, who was still deep in thought.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4yg2D89D3
Momo: “H-Huh?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUNGAOzc3n
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.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzASGriHxd
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDjCTg4GdR
But if Shiho can have what is essentially a support item, then so could everyone else. Besides, she knows Mei will use hers.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeVSMoSzoG
Momo: “Of course. If it also means I can create some things for Kyoka as well.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjxniYCSyH
Jiro: “H-huh? Y-You don’t have to do that.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZKhbuL966
Momo: “It’s fine, I want to. You shine the best when you have your own specialized equipment.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjymqIcFZkl
Jiro: “T-Thanks, Momo.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u4edDCac6
Shiho smiles at the pair before turning back to Midnight.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoXlo5tCTj
Shiho: “So, would that be fine, Midnight?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlojbdabuF
Midnight: “Such heartwarming friendship! Of course, I approve! It will also allow us to keep an even number, so that’s a plus.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m4VZT3Lty
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2KE6g3pdM
When Momo handed it to Shiho, the young esper’s eyes flashed a light blue.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jaYSpzoq4
Shiho: “Thank you, I’ll be sure to put this to good use.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaScA9KnGqW
Momo notices nothing and simply nods before walking towards Jiro. She creates something else Izuku and she have been theorizing about.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnPe0bZemj
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.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbi0cYziym
Jiro is handed what seems like a wrist-mounted blaster with a hole for her earphone jacks.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ558Caut3WM
Jiro: “Heh, Sannomiya is the one who asked for a gun, and yet I’m the one getting it. Still, thanks, Momo.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5Tn8T3Dhq
Momo: “I know you’ll do great.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFR1Jr6hhU
They smile and nod at each other before returning back to the front.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNrzy1nIgW
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.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxgngqJ0FC
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9kNP5Km8C
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
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZtbrXttHh
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j0nhF6do6
The reactions were varied.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq4IMC6fEC
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU95yeqGRwO
Momo looked at Shiho, who smiled back at her. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to give her that sword.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm2i4Uj0k3
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEPMrsqXMl
Next was Bakugo, who seemed confused at who he was going to fight.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlc0JZUteH
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ975CqozMS1
Bakugo: “Uraraka?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvg0Nd8iTC
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEerzKTQoVS
Uraraka: “EEEEK!”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQkpNlxsS7
Mei, seeing another opportunity to advertise her babies, approached her opponent.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad16HIZeM7
Mei: “Are you Ida?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwJwZ9QneF
Ida: “Hm? I am.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnp7a9ujl6
Mei: “Scooooore!! I’m happy, since actually… ”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYsh84gwpk
Then there is the young esper, Izuku Midoriya. His eyes narrow at where he is placed in the tournament.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8eUe3HVrc
Izuku: ‘I’ll face Todoroki in round 2, and if I win… I’ll have to fight Kiri.’
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCTB2QJRzC
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XjGULbDw8
He shakes his head, banishing any worrying thoughts.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQbSmoKZ5t
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhroXxHkMwG
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-’
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93qFT9wgnq
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYv67n6Svy
Shinso: “It’s you, correct? Midoriya Izuku?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7XnrVOeTC
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuCwl8oC1N
Izuku: “Huh!? Oh, yeah, that’s me.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPDo0GCVV5
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxvmMGdKgr
Shinso: “Mmm, good luck. You’ll need it.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFmTMAcAPS
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTXMkWYQAW
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYmmrjV575
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjcj6cPgEd
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX6SdoUJeP
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte7rcb2gO2
She breathes out and accepts this fact. She doesn’t want to fight him, but she won’t hold back.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fpUtFbhcJ
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPC3OAwVsf
Kiri: ‘It wouldn’t be fair to him. He deserves my best, especially if I want him to give me his.’
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWXn4z19N1
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqawn5yRc5
She gives one last look at Izuku before joining her class in the stands.

Izuku takes a breath and steps out into the arena.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsqC8yypen
Izuku: ‘I can’t lose here. All Might and my family are expecting great things from me. I won’t let them down!’
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOYDY1FIHh
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ4rylQPXB
He walks up to stand in front of Shinso, who rubs his neck in boredom.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozMqeXgUjJ
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyHQbAW5hq

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvMJRLtmhv
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWEnIWS5Nt
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.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh1YQjtlSi
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYptVFhDER
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeXmxafJIk

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1js9lWTgoo
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKxcpJx95O
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1VdWl3yOV

Something was wrong. As soon as his mind touched Midoriya’s, Shinso was taken elsewhere.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyOot95e8A
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyFpCD3CBh
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.

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.

Something was watching him.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN3aldYRYx
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSHYjYFcNa
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.

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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64Ond01J4l
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVEZwAsfVR
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.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGttg16mDW
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTh9YszmuP
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8JdoQieR0
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILWKms5xOe
But Izuku wouldn’t see it that way, not when the first thing he hears is the bloodcurdling screams.

Not when he can feel a growing shift within his mind.

Shiho: “You know, it took all three of us to pull that off.”

The three friends laugh, trying to lighten the atmosphere. But it didn’t affect Sabrina much. She was still focused on the future.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfZwLlpihl
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaHOqlunji
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWQ2f9Gk8U
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxULtCeLAd
Vlad: “What do you mean he’s in more than perfect health?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvBLFJ4f7V
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrpc1ISVNP
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.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eE7ZwYvFx
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZSguSFqto
Vlad: “What kind of quirk could do this? Neither Shinso nor Midoriya has a quirk that can do it.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KjIrGDdcg
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvRhKknyhQ
Aizawa: “Midoriya’s quirk is versatile, but this… is different.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenPqu3nzLy
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHb67s8oeo
Vlad: “With Tornado here, not to mention the Blizzard group, a villain couldn’t have done this.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweGFSGxEeP
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvsQrSqZAX
Aizawa: “So, we have no idea what happened.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0SbCHw2sA
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeNqVkAPQM
Recovery Girl: “No, and I have no idea why the boy isn’t awake. Maybe the process needs to finish.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgaxst6aHf
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlvpPkCtfX
Vlad: “And what then? What is he becoming?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP6CmIhOq9
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUcxazAeqo
Recovery Girl: “… I have no idea.”

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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLhvuKmCeF
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcgiwg4jHS
In particular, he found Mei Hatsume and her inventions to be interesting. That was a mind worth molding.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADqKZWnnIV
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh99gixIaRH
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0x7q3KiWY
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yiJwN0Zyt
Apotheosis: “Of course he can do that.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9OjTQNUpH
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUAxEIJcTt
Azrael: “How comes the psychic disruptor?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg4BGCh6nL
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3R43FbLBm
Apotheosis: “… Along. Don’t rush perfection.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bpAhcyV8E
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6trAw6NFD
Tomura: “We don’t need perfection, strategist! We just need it to be able to take a hit.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1COLS1Jqi
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cSQhYiHVY
Azrael: “Or be portable.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuFLEmo3Op
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbjBGvVrUM
Apotheosis: “Yeah, yeah. Where would you two be without me? I’ll get right on it.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpfsSzerPV
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdskKm8QbM
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5Fbb9Y2Fs
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT6HmiybD7
Tomura: “What? Is it broken?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULuLen6i12
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiX3SxFDrc
Azrael: “Unlikely, unless… ”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEPMQx3iHv
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w50jsj8r2
Apotheosis: “Don’t look at me. I never touched it.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J9G9qSy4L
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKQaWPHwLN
Just then, a voice came through. It sounded like someone on the verge of a panic attack.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJGll5tZEh
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXh61IJShp
???: “You must kill that boy.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDzKz3xkHa
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCLvu2GmMu
After a moment, they recognized the voice. Even Kurogiri stopped to look at the screen with confusion.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQVcxP5peS
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19fKbdFOlQ
Azrael: “Gyoro Gyoro? What is wrong?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8ymy9GoRW
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbWVfj51QS
Gyoro: “You must kill that boy.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAEiPSD4bR
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoxA3QXevY
Apotheosis: “Yes, we know. It is on the to-do list.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ08eknBc2i
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrBf8j9gW7
Gyoro: “No, it will be your top priority from now on.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvb5gwDRUc
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnK9JUE2DW
Tomura narrows his eyes at the TV and lets out a low growl.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VkSaMlC7G
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuPBXKBcZe
Tomura: “You are not sensei. You don’t get to order us around.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFzls5hpEM
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QPitp4teu
Gyoro: “Fool! This is more important than… ”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRVygm8GI5
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImUMblb6FA
The quirk beast took a breath before continuing.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMiyStlhTG
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XhVhbVlNr
Gyoro: “Forgive me, I will inform All For One about this soon. I just didn’t think it was… true.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyY9CB0OtT
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPdbfrujxr
Apotheosis: “What?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KBptsNLVc
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb2BFeZRKe
Gyoro: “One of my… creations had the ability to see the future.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR06quwZFN
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0375DD7UV
Apotheosis: “Bull.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YXooS5b87
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVgIk9OG8o
Gyoro: “Believe what you will. But those visions nearly drove her mad. And almost every single one of them revolved around… that boy.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrMGhHtSUe
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YAgBPPslA
Tomura: “Him? That kid?!”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUoW2bZqKM
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5JzarTv1U
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.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZEkgLaR2D
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYDjLAXpeC
Apotheosis: “That’s some… biblical stuff.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy0KAfbbEy
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nLOPwc32U
Kurogiri: “Are you sure about this?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d0ayKmZjQ
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOgmdYyVRb
Gyoro: “Yes. That’s why he must die. Make sure to kill the child he fought as well. To be safe.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtQRiZXQ39
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXgqJtBc8f
Apotheosis: “Well, well, well, in this context, aren’t we the good guys?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNKs5OFX8k
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj7HeALp36
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcKRtgsgnI
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ftVZKonOF
But one of them does take this seriously.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMJM4fJnhb
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA4diyEgYb
Azrael: “I’ll do it.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVpXRViMaU
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBxrI5Igb0
They all look at the very serious looking Azrael.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP0AGBXvJZ
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtZVBIjdAs
Apotheosis: “What? You know he’s mine. It should be me who kills him.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHGsoeroO6
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4D7iiyaiu
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?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aPMLmpaqc
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDYkke1Yte
Tomura: “… Do what you want. I don’t believe Gyoro, but this will mean we will have one less annoying hero to worry about.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvde8BwnfDd
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc96Wd6CeAm
Apotheosis: “Seriously! Just because some quirk beast freak spouts some nonsense, you’ll take my vengeance!?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnl53TC66x
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3wsCHmCjt
Azrael: “You’ll still get to do what you want with Blizzard and Tornado. Leave the boy to me, Theo. Trust me.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDQeLhTfBc
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7esAlMElNT
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM9pEyQDdg
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh61U6OWukt
Apotheosis: “You better make him suffer and deliver his broken body to Tatsumaki.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJBNR71C6f
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsXuQkDxV1
Azrael: “Don’t worry, I’ll even record it if possible.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdDBKszNyC
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql7xMUS7cw
Apotheosis: “Good.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf55vtPUWJC
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8MPzaNqE6
Gyoro: “So he’ll die?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ekqAQiVXT
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPY6LhYAsr
Tomura: “Yeah, he’s as good as gone.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ1oe2Bt6C
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWWs2drnmH
Gyoro: “… Good. I… my creation can rest easy. I’m sorry for using up your time.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzAOyrv5TO
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sW0HqW5Yu
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQrsNV1pwh
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd2lw9BzYs
Azrael: ‘Before he dies, I need to know… why him? All Might…’
