Well, the tournament hasn’t even started yet, and there are already problems.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4iuJZxNYy
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3OnfJ5JFP
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oBUjYsKjs
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5e2pqJrks
That was until someone else tried to pull out, a person who surprised everyone.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnvsZ7x6QM
Shiho: “I would also like to withdraw from the tournament.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OEkqWTIRO
Midnight: “Oh, and what’s your reason?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMPsRtty8g
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.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDICIBgZpCQ
Everyone: “A gun!?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoAmQo3mTF
Kirishima: “What is she trying to do, kill us?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZuJZcYTGa
Mina: “To be fair, this whole festival has been trying to do that.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwEQXwx55J
Kaoru: “Come on, Shiho, how about just a sword or something? A gun is… a bit far.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmhS72RuuY
Shiho: “I suppose. And think Ms.Creation over there could create one for me. That would be nice.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wPaZPbLO8
Shiho and everyone else look towards Momo, who was still deep in thought.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GxTbkp0rj
Momo: “H-Huh?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9sJFD7hU5
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.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDBF8Ya8JI
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8VQyMaKtT
But if Shiho can have what is essentially a support item, then so could everyone else. Besides, she knows Mei will use hers.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh4bEEtnAC
Momo: “Of course. If it also means I can create some things for Kyoka as well.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0qgAZhFya
Jiro: “H-huh? Y-You don’t have to do that.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvsFPvDcY5
Momo: “It’s fine, I want to. You shine the best when you have your own specialized equipment.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61tlGqnaRs
Jiro: “T-Thanks, Momo.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxD973ifq0
Shiho smiles at the pair before turning back to Midnight.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLWgXtiewC
Shiho: “So, would that be fine, Midnight?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPSLtRu7W2
Midnight: “Such heartwarming friendship! Of course, I approve! It will also allow us to keep an even number, so that’s a plus.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrGoZYIoOr
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7oqLOIGBO
When Momo handed it to Shiho, the young esper’s eyes flashed a light blue.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFAA14lydW
Shiho: “Thank you, I’ll be sure to put this to good use.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDdQwMcc5h
Momo notices nothing and simply nods before walking towards Jiro. She creates something else Izuku and she have been theorizing about.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6CGneFDVQ
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.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡideYUAy0gr
Jiro is handed what seems like a wrist-mounted blaster with a hole for her earphone jacks.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxOaVJhRtj
Jiro: “Heh, Sannomiya is the one who asked for a gun, and yet I’m the one getting it. Still, thanks, Momo.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPekSCEas9
Momo: “I know you’ll do great.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOUxOIYFMN
They smile and nod at each other before returning back to the front.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKMgttfTix
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.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdgIBBsBNG
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkl3a0l2gb
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
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dUvXTJcsH
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf806Cnh8c
The reactions were varied.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAkEQpItL6
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CD96VUHfQ
Momo looked at Shiho, who smiled back at her. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to give her that sword.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOJdavt8uI
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGGH8u8bvi
Next was Bakugo, who seemed confused at who he was going to fight.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1wULWNihS
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcrm8ivoUz
Bakugo: “Uraraka?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdMNSKYTVQ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcmMzAUJQW
Uraraka: “EEEEK!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGeyBOPxpf
Mei, seeing another opportunity to advertise her babies, approached her opponent.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgljynzNip1
Mei: “Are you Ida?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG5xOMhyGn
Ida: “Hm? I am.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11qw62cZKp
Mei: “Scooooore!! I’m happy, since actually… ”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15nMGZ66yH
Then there is the young esper, Izuku Midoriya. His eyes narrow at where he is placed in the tournament.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvcGTzjEWU
Izuku: ‘I’ll face Todoroki in round 2, and if I win… I’ll have to fight Kiri.’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaOKmirXZB
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXSjNjDN4B
He shakes his head, banishing any worrying thoughts.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9wiAlQ154
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OW6QLYUA9
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-’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd335EAmx2
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RCGnTbRTc
Shinso: “It’s you, correct? Midoriya Izuku?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNkGM5pY7s
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOThXwOxB8M
Izuku: “Huh!? Oh, yeah, that’s me.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vsWsb4W0D
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5GBggdPYT
Shinso: “Mmm, good luck. You’ll need it.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycbeLRt47I
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskmtevbXOc
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHRbfTQsnA
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKsD4r4TCs
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zymf1wQ4N
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWh8aB7HbS
She breathes out and accepts this fact. She doesn’t want to fight him, but she won’t hold back.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8ZCSBnmLr
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhFdepaYdv
Kiri: ‘It wouldn’t be fair to him. He deserves my best, especially if I want him to give me his.’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNOYTbPJsj
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDPIPWikF8
She gives one last look at Izuku before joining her class in the stands.

Izuku takes a breath and steps out into the arena.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zV0Oj6Qxs
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eVJLJ8jdC
Izuku: ‘I can’t lose here. All Might and my family are expecting great things from me. I won’t let them down!’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt9WeZQhBj
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqPBPTrv03
He walks up to stand in front of Shinso, who rubs his neck in boredom.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4NYE4nZHU
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCin1jvfgp
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!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnesnM3xAde

34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYyK5B7Jn0
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkJRUAfhY5
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!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWIdlrIbND
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJoYl9h5LW
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.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQCQ9KyBqJ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8WvncaXTJ
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9gPAbYwXJ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW68OT5qtOH
Present Mic: “REAAAADYYYYY?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhzKMP9iN4

34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjxnkHL1H6
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHtszWj5o6
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnSTpGJPvP
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXarcfdxBRW
Shinso: “I’m not.”

Something was wrong. As soon as his mind touched Midoriya’s, Shinso was taken elsewhere.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtoz0jwt01
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR9D7mcLf3
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ7NEJp73Z

Shinso: “W-Where-”

Something was watching him.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N7QCbVUDL
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGzDxCWHDv
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.

34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ikl8vOqWU

It emerges from the black, hovering silently towards Shinso, getting ever closer. Its vestige was indescribable, beyond this world and its petty laws.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpt4sigT3b

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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYQGXBkI6U
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXyeaWdwaa
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOjU19602d

What he could hear was something slithering through his skin and veins. Something foreign was invading his mind, body, and soul.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIO972izaT
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzwsy3J5d8
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHe9zeq1vF
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0OQE0ULma
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdPyv9zmdo

The three friends laugh, trying to lighten the atmosphere. But it didn’t affect Sabrina much. She was still focused on the future.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlukImLqZoc
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5qtn4eUhb
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWz9MLL8uU
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMiYwxrFvG
Vlad: “What do you mean he’s in more than perfect health?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmmBjG0grn
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofFAqzhmhy
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.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVdiQjQxSg
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbF9ccuV5H
Vlad: “What kind of quirk could do this? Neither Shinso nor Midoriya has a quirk that can do it.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ905oFIqFtx
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2ml02MvWu
Aizawa: “Midoriya’s quirk is versatile, but this… is different.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjSUF4Susv
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5goDtUf5d
Vlad: “With Tornado here, not to mention the Blizzard group, a villain couldn’t have done this.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DFJJQESFf
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfllgxwyDNK
Aizawa: “So, we have no idea what happened.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FbTZRYmEL
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNth7s0prce
Recovery Girl: “No, and I have no idea why the boy isn’t awake. Maybe the process needs to finish.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk2wGpHBqk
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARwRHybBAj
Vlad: “And what then? What is he becoming?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4sVTQYsce
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSkEz4vwTs
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlGwdrR2XE
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzaZcC1JLm
In particular, he found Mei Hatsume and her inventions to be interesting. That was a mind worth molding.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb3z4JFkJz
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrjKNWNd0s
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66oXqDgHYu
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mITufsyHr
Apotheosis: “Of course he can do that.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCturxgqWa
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEclw3781Di
Azrael: “How comes the psychic disruptor?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp7tjvschU
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBluY9pWJ3
Apotheosis: “… Along. Don’t rush perfection.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa7eUDQJKA
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpjw5jQkkL
Tomura: “We don’t need perfection, strategist! We just need it to be able to take a hit.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv73XrDgIL
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03mMvckibl
Azrael: “Or be portable.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU7Kza0pRG
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLanK9mK0q
Apotheosis: “Yeah, yeah. Where would you two be without me? I’ll get right on it.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ25FPtcp0
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx2w3OqYGB
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VWktY74i2
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU5jy7Z8en
Tomura: “What? Is it broken?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUJIrkV2wE
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwYR5QxFyf
Azrael: “Unlikely, unless… ”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eOlb71m6x
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFWOtx0QJG
Apotheosis: “Don’t look at me. I never touched it.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXjCv1Lk48
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwEGzdvEzs
Just then, a voice came through. It sounded like someone on the verge of a panic attack.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNYrTvp6x6
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmyv05r0Og
???: “You must kill that boy.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBqX6njfg1
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb69s840GWF
After a moment, they recognized the voice. Even Kurogiri stopped to look at the screen with confusion.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMIqlWVYua
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtfhMirgAx
Azrael: “Gyoro Gyoro? What is wrong?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER8vScYmWC
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslAQgPhvLd
Gyoro: “You must kill that boy.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElijUid00R
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHrQQYxwBM
Apotheosis: “Yes, we know. It is on the to-do list.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6IBJynxM6
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6293XciCR
Gyoro: “No, it will be your top priority from now on.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoAWYNzOqr
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErn1YPwWUx
Tomura narrows his eyes at the TV and lets out a low growl.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5TL9C2Mau
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmheT96ZX5E
Tomura: “You are not sensei. You don’t get to order us around.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8ZtUhWjN5
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh4GBXepkJ
Gyoro: “Fool! This is more important than… ”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKbVKipO7Y
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t0WnNC2Zc
The quirk beast took a breath before continuing.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5oW551oNW
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4OZeV1MC0
Gyoro: “Forgive me, I will inform All For One about this soon. I just didn’t think it was… true.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4FV51uFe2
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRUZawpqJb
Apotheosis: “What?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Eq3u73zUF
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIw1wSHKag
Gyoro: “One of my… creations had the ability to see the future.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2cs0BbxiH
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJuYXbsruS
Apotheosis: “Bull.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsqjhAN3z1
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8PuuOgnQF
Gyoro: “Believe what you will. But those visions nearly drove her mad. And almost every single one of them revolved around… that boy.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhlHUy88QQ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF79tWQtGeg
Tomura: “Him? That kid?!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO2vmhHyuI
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvjADohD3g
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.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUPLOyiF61
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4rdgw0t5P
Apotheosis: “That’s some… biblical stuff.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14wLChFsBV
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjvj4pO20T
Kurogiri: “Are you sure about this?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lIw7JIXzt
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0uTLFLSKp
Gyoro: “Yes. That’s why he must die. Make sure to kill the child he fought as well. To be safe.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRFK0YAOGj
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl1wZUDmrS
Apotheosis: “Well, well, well, in this context, aren’t we the good guys?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4OUW1H8rQ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JFSmGaYnC
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMTfyl8j1T
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdfIQ41j7v
But one of them does take this seriously.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11Z1EXiUYE
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMFE93IKJq
Azrael: “I’ll do it.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb3B3thCnF
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn71n4XP78a
They all look at the very serious looking Azrael.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4UQfn2zKV
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kxgsoGiRP
Apotheosis: “What? You know he’s mine. It should be me who kills him.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInHo01Qcct
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WOltiUbB3
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?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8ytaknmIy
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4sor9ow3i
Tomura: “… Do what you want. I don’t believe Gyoro, but this will mean we will have one less annoying hero to worry about.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y9kPAHC0c
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDrlF1bq8Z
Apotheosis: “Seriously! Just because some quirk beast freak spouts some nonsense, you’ll take my vengeance!?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJtpVvP3tZ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQZJZUXoAL
Azrael: “You’ll still get to do what you want with Blizzard and Tornado. Leave the boy to me, Theo. Trust me.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOewRl3b3h
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAQuKo02bL
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn3zEEAIVT
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxBgFFwQ5K
Apotheosis: “You better make him suffer and deliver his broken body to Tatsumaki.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84Do2Szq2F
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dmWQLrugz
Azrael: “Don’t worry, I’ll even record it if possible.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeMH0v4Vcp
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI95h74lgV1
Apotheosis: “Good.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXSmcW9pkV
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8OMI0uljc
Gyoro: “So he’ll die?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xIbPbiUX8
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZYMVngPI4
Tomura: “Yeah, he’s as good as gone.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuDiCO3mjM
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaySxvhB8zA
Gyoro: “… Good. I… my creation can rest easy. I’m sorry for using up your time.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYnYaVPADk
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ8KfOBThx
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56z069yDDY
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7EQu5ou7k
Azrael: ‘Before he dies, I need to know… why him? All Might…’
