Well, the tournament hasn’t even started yet, and there are already problems.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur5cvJv4bi
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0s28rFqup
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlCHoIkwnM
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYspHM6SsjX
That was until someone else tried to pull out, a person who surprised everyone.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaHRxkuLK4
Shiho: “I would also like to withdraw from the tournament.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVEomUzJx8
Midnight: “Oh, and what’s your reason?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz40BsM8AiW
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.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeDrMNgBdK
Everyone: “A gun!?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy4yYg1G8s
Kirishima: “What is she trying to do, kill us?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgpfoVYPDv
Mina: “To be fair, this whole festival has been trying to do that.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCl1ZShryh
Kaoru: “Come on, Shiho, how about just a sword or something? A gun is… a bit far.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0A4KWdqy2
Shiho: “I suppose. And think Ms.Creation over there could create one for me. That would be nice.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaqJeWdaE8
Shiho and everyone else look towards Momo, who was still deep in thought.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcmLflZBXB
Momo: “H-Huh?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkOb9UWaJN
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.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuJaOSCRgL
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYBjGNYnz6
But if Shiho can have what is essentially a support item, then so could everyone else. Besides, she knows Mei will use hers.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoJrOdHQPL
Momo: “Of course. If it also means I can create some things for Kyoka as well.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwskt7UI8Us
Jiro: “H-huh? Y-You don’t have to do that.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSrrWUNdAy
Momo: “It’s fine, I want to. You shine the best when you have your own specialized equipment.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ3VIG5Xyl
Jiro: “T-Thanks, Momo.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yYFN3ae8q
Shiho smiles at the pair before turning back to Midnight.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJiiONZM1o
Shiho: “So, would that be fine, Midnight?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCezuhiqOq
Midnight: “Such heartwarming friendship! Of course, I approve! It will also allow us to keep an even number, so that’s a plus.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19HzdsUCrn
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36Z0yBpg2K
When Momo handed it to Shiho, the young esper’s eyes flashed a light blue.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxgx2krNRN
Shiho: “Thank you, I’ll be sure to put this to good use.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJLR3PrIxp
Momo notices nothing and simply nods before walking towards Jiro. She creates something else Izuku and she have been theorizing about.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy8wJhEbBG
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.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIVwjeWzGI
Jiro is handed what seems like a wrist-mounted blaster with a hole for her earphone jacks.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQUnKs5X2O
Jiro: “Heh, Sannomiya is the one who asked for a gun, and yet I’m the one getting it. Still, thanks, Momo.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnO8zviajs
Momo: “I know you’ll do great.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJfy8gp1Bv
They smile and nod at each other before returning back to the front.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7dDhWv7kV
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.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIWIMibJoa
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDfFw2JQop
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
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZNtMMJkEq
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CAIMqMw9C
The reactions were varied.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RF8HXqlSb
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmEkQiCowy
Momo looked at Shiho, who smiled back at her. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to give her that sword.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDI4FIMah1
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQMuCnjyYe
Next was Bakugo, who seemed confused at who he was going to fight.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh6Zoa1rE5
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu1OX3zIVU
Bakugo: “Uraraka?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCli8UdsOIw
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiExUVNWkQ
Uraraka: “EEEEK!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmHdhejVrk
Mei, seeing another opportunity to advertise her babies, approached her opponent.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpwOivT0p6
Mei: “Are you Ida?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVpAbfTes7
Ida: “Hm? I am.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNswfKJK2G
Mei: “Scooooore!! I’m happy, since actually… ”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORYFUTUrpX
Then there is the young esper, Izuku Midoriya. His eyes narrow at where he is placed in the tournament.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqluTyM6NBE
Izuku: ‘I’ll face Todoroki in round 2, and if I win… I’ll have to fight Kiri.’
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeOGzo9vLJ
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq9H6SgkOF
He shakes his head, banishing any worrying thoughts.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT5O6l4P5y
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYN3Ze7hEf
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-’
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrGshZCLWN
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mskwrtpyy
Shinso: “It’s you, correct? Midoriya Izuku?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdVzABDkQe
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGahAAiH9Cb
Izuku: “Huh!? Oh, yeah, that’s me.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bf9f5pJUg
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDt9O4kQwN
Shinso: “Mmm, good luck. You’ll need it.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIja0LMgtlF
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YcsKhJ9ou
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8Qp6rAQdp
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYxneFeByI
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ922LCHAiCE
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin1Xxrh6Le
She breathes out and accepts this fact. She doesn’t want to fight him, but she won’t hold back.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiinb58288
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw984piKZ7
Kiri: ‘It wouldn’t be fair to him. He deserves my best, especially if I want him to give me his.’
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9EqCTf5HS
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAAvI705b7
She gives one last look at Izuku before joining her class in the stands.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO353TJco3

Izuku takes a breath and steps out into the arena.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtrSi0KZp3
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZkWejrDH9
Izuku: ‘I can’t lose here. All Might and my family are expecting great things from me. I won’t let them down!’
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzDAkI46gu
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX98LvpCTY
He walks up to stand in front of Shinso, who rubs his neck in boredom.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa42H9Fldt6
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNc6OZIa1y
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!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3fjCTBPdY
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L7888rbYy

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3owJk4EIi3
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w8tpv1Chf
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!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNR3zypBdF
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5bQWke1U5
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.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLsO8Molrq
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BKVLvpgwl
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQWyLtavYH
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmPCaCqgzK
Present Mic: “REAAAADYYYYY?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQsgRku4fp
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7xh50fCcC
Izuku: “I do understand. But the how is just as important. And I’ll prove it now. I’m sorry, but I’m ringing you out.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I84TGNAFK
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8mDjDS7py
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP54PzZsbg
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrEIHdKXWP
Shinso: “I’m not.”

Something was wrong. As soon as his mind touched Midoriya’s, Shinso was taken elsewhere.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuKsDo91Cb
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo6Ww9hx0m
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEKfqA08SE

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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0P9gpM8nS

Shinso: “W-Where-”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWvrRdC3wK

Something was watching him.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPETUEV0mAa
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraEcacyScZ
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNSALVdRtp

It was that THING!
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz6ryftpA3

It emerges from the black, hovering silently towards Shinso, getting ever closer. Its vestige was indescribable, beyond this world and its petty laws.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF4rQzA0aC

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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ56xxuG37
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOuS2797gg
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeJImNFKDA
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxytLCs4daM
What he could hear was something slithering through his skin and veins. Something foreign was invading his mind, body, and soul.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1mFmyJAso
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18EpOAWHFW
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uX09JUCnk
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsowSAiTJL
But Izuku wouldn’t see it that way, not when the first thing he hears is the bloodcurdling screams.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cePihTzUn

Not when he can feel a growing shift within his mind.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8UkR7DzD2

Not when he sees Shinso fall back in abject terror. Eyes wide and sweat dripping down his face.

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

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09gwnqofQD

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SQBtWKwbe
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Iu6PQCUN
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.

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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pgypIIy28
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3QTO7ZIVA
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFn2qG1JjO
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvpQZBWZv0
Vlad: “What do you mean he’s in more than perfect health?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dqd0CkUaQ
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20wUAZ8WN9
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.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDvPfwBteI
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2Maeb87cH
Vlad: “What kind of quirk could do this? Neither Shinso nor Midoriya has a quirk that can do it.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOx2sfqgAm
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuFo55AB0v
Aizawa: “Midoriya’s quirk is versatile, but this… is different.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEHkgPIhml
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJeeEg105r
Vlad: “With Tornado here, not to mention the Blizzard group, a villain couldn’t have done this.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquq0MWSQyg
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BiOuOoNqP
Aizawa: “So, we have no idea what happened.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHHQ29DV3q
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMt2yQvoF5
Recovery Girl: “No, and I have no idea why the boy isn’t awake. Maybe the process needs to finish.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR7STw1l5V
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNkLFl03Xl
Vlad: “And what then? What is he becoming?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUiFsga5pR
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsJio5o4rQ
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCMX7tNel4
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAFLbnf3wT
In particular, he found Mei Hatsume and her inventions to be interesting. That was a mind worth molding.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5FiuPDgkE
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS39aYAlsE
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx0MfaOwAf
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMptAq0GzGX
Apotheosis: “Of course he can do that.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMawdP5ksFQ
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgxt4zPtTe
Azrael: “How comes the psychic disruptor?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT9yKQ38fg
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12cnWoiUCi
Apotheosis: “… Along. Don’t rush perfection.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrlzXrJwEi
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2aCMafw3d
Tomura: “We don’t need perfection, strategist! We just need it to be able to take a hit.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BMeHRwecZ
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ8mgRPfTt
Azrael: “Or be portable.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZdocFW1Ol
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxqXHBYtvH
Apotheosis: “Yeah, yeah. Where would you two be without me? I’ll get right on it.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeYSat8a3b
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOXY4S6Xgy
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeBKIHv3Zb
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwrlIePly7
Tomura: “What? Is it broken?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcsZEczLH5
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFrLBVJ4vR
Azrael: “Unlikely, unless… ”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jDR9tTTEk
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTizW4GoLw
Apotheosis: “Don’t look at me. I never touched it.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwFycjA2lG
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFKAgDlfEj
Just then, a voice came through. It sounded like someone on the verge of a panic attack.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09LMwOhrvT
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDWg4HB2rk
???: “You must kill that boy.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV2JJwnnQh
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNGU6SwGOa
After a moment, they recognized the voice. Even Kurogiri stopped to look at the screen with confusion.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF2gqrmKvm
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rSz7tbQbY
Azrael: “Gyoro Gyoro? What is wrong?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVR4CEpdKR
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI68N2fyJV5
Gyoro: “You must kill that boy.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXDnOtmsBJ
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9on2CJg8z
Apotheosis: “Yes, we know. It is on the to-do list.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgnVS1YOsF
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaupAU6Gjm
Gyoro: “No, it will be your top priority from now on.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5qlwcPpCG
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb1oO7pTC0
Tomura narrows his eyes at the TV and lets out a low growl.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTSF5pm6wJ
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6ASFJEWRm
Tomura: “You are not sensei. You don’t get to order us around.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIpVTs3CuR
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw5cicJcSX
Gyoro: “Fool! This is more important than… ”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJlxNy44zu
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3d0UdcYyM
The quirk beast took a breath before continuing.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTwJmthAyF
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGja95atWgD
Gyoro: “Forgive me, I will inform All For One about this soon. I just didn’t think it was… true.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEUJYqcsiH
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhhM365L7P
Apotheosis: “What?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtL5NUXw0D
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJw1uwWQIC
Gyoro: “One of my… creations had the ability to see the future.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi5GRvXoj6
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8sZt5TUxf
Apotheosis: “Bull.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PVhChMDBI
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmG8nlgves
Gyoro: “Believe what you will. But those visions nearly drove her mad. And almost every single one of them revolved around… that boy.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqebqkkouJ
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLqcJwDCUE
Tomura: “Him? That kid?!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxCIfAg4WS
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoVv6eoHZq
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.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTigwf6DZs
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAB19rC5sj
Apotheosis: “That’s some… biblical stuff.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes2r5TSAIy
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbWW3azqpj
Kurogiri: “Are you sure about this?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJeKixgvee
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKofhVcaEzX
Gyoro: “Yes. That’s why he must die. Make sure to kill the child he fought as well. To be safe.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECRyXQx51J
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBts1mjQY0
Apotheosis: “Well, well, well, in this context, aren’t we the good guys?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvHkTsWbCQ
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApkralTixk
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuOnMSaTg2
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1GEZ1ukT4
But one of them does take this seriously.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCA4KsSTrR
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgX0CdHftJ
Azrael: “I’ll do it.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PDF5ef2VK
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv8Mz549IS
They all look at the very serious looking Azrael.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7z2AERc9S
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhgDnIU0Tz
Apotheosis: “What? You know he’s mine. It should be me who kills him.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7vpQ0nalE
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uY6er5ifO
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?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNEv3drwOB
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iEITLtHpQ
Tomura: “… Do what you want. I don’t believe Gyoro, but this will mean we will have one less annoying hero to worry about.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6IfFJL4hS
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3KHVlxsuN
Apotheosis: “Seriously! Just because some quirk beast freak spouts some nonsense, you’ll take my vengeance!?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM5HCUFL3h
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgXoueAwtn
Azrael: “You’ll still get to do what you want with Blizzard and Tornado. Leave the boy to me, Theo. Trust me.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjetlrA43y
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnRt1U1ABz
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcZkMSHd2A
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IMW4dGlKP
Apotheosis: “You better make him suffer and deliver his broken body to Tatsumaki.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnPWL9QHNx
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQQau3Qfh6
Azrael: “Don’t worry, I’ll even record it if possible.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ3ymm7QSx
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpozbUZdPs
Apotheosis: “Good.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEFGcVJFbw
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHVFfutpMj
Gyoro: “So he’ll die?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1vZxNOeHT
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq1Ht3mnbG
Tomura: “Yeah, he’s as good as gone.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqx3TSGU7O
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PH8P6P2oM
Gyoro: “… Good. I… my creation can rest easy. I’m sorry for using up your time.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJlOl7idTn
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOcIfCfgLS
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2UeOV9gL9
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLgAvul7kH
Azrael: ‘Before he dies, I need to know… why him? All Might…’
