Well, the tournament hasn’t even started yet, and there are already problems.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XAXBJcsFT
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJTaiWeFU4
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxerL73t0oL
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bp1U0YGa5
That was until someone else tried to pull out, a person who surprised everyone.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivZpNhA0mz
Shiho: “I would also like to withdraw from the tournament.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AKliEtEKI
Midnight: “Oh, and what’s your reason?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivGK8ZVYD3
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.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfanX3taEp
Everyone: “A gun!?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdQ5Qc9Hhm
Kirishima: “What is she trying to do, kill us?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y9uCSOM1j
Mina: “To be fair, this whole festival has been trying to do that.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn7B19WhY9
Kaoru: “Come on, Shiho, how about just a sword or something? A gun is… a bit far.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNliTTvvQ7
Shiho: “I suppose. And think Ms.Creation over there could create one for me. That would be nice.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy76QsSUyd
Shiho and everyone else look towards Momo, who was still deep in thought.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHVYpOT5Cx
Momo: “H-Huh?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigv6J1jXOe
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.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFGB0F42J4
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1OVRChg07
But if Shiho can have what is essentially a support item, then so could everyone else. Besides, she knows Mei will use hers.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jLd4ykMXL
Momo: “Of course. If it also means I can create some things for Kyoka as well.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU2g0oMxaN
Jiro: “H-huh? Y-You don’t have to do that.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQxNsGNkFM
Momo: “It’s fine, I want to. You shine the best when you have your own specialized equipment.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX5VHtlNm1
Jiro: “T-Thanks, Momo.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlt3yA5sIl
Shiho smiles at the pair before turning back to Midnight.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cBDpOiyzd
Shiho: “So, would that be fine, Midnight?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTk6yWm6Ej
Midnight: “Such heartwarming friendship! Of course, I approve! It will also allow us to keep an even number, so that’s a plus.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96mHGTYfKE
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdImhHQwJgw
When Momo handed it to Shiho, the young esper’s eyes flashed a light blue.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluGjRj5ewz
Shiho: “Thank you, I’ll be sure to put this to good use.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVdksueL30
Momo notices nothing and simply nods before walking towards Jiro. She creates something else Izuku and she have been theorizing about.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oxgEH2K6M
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.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDAVm6pnoM
Jiro is handed what seems like a wrist-mounted blaster with a hole for her earphone jacks.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqhQR4o1MS
Jiro: “Heh, Sannomiya is the one who asked for a gun, and yet I’m the one getting it. Still, thanks, Momo.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLWmu6M1e4
Momo: “I know you’ll do great.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSIkyyQtgN
They smile and nod at each other before returning back to the front.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQEfAJLPzw
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.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6Q9C0gs27
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmcecjouMh
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
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT2Iu5mPpL
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NGF3zlbOV
The reactions were varied.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlEPtahZsz
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gOvmx6alz
Momo looked at Shiho, who smiled back at her. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to give her that sword.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDC8m30xCL
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yTNuuDSB5
Next was Bakugo, who seemed confused at who he was going to fight.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiwl7yR6U2
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel1dlmoBFc
Bakugo: “Uraraka?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx9GJorpu6
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc40VCIdOPd
Uraraka: “EEEEK!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGHz5VbsUB
Mei, seeing another opportunity to advertise her babies, approached her opponent.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4fWyGqO4z
Mei: “Are you Ida?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabsILoCEk4
Ida: “Hm? I am.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V1OU2X2ji
Mei: “Scooooore!! I’m happy, since actually… ”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P1jV5PiXU
Then there is the young esper, Izuku Midoriya. His eyes narrow at where he is placed in the tournament.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIqn5DhqV0
Izuku: ‘I’ll face Todoroki in round 2, and if I win… I’ll have to fight Kiri.’
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTqT8ji3vt
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqqi1MONt5
He shakes his head, banishing any worrying thoughts.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI94AULAl0
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpev8B9oasV
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-’
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKpnZarGcZ
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6LLerUtlv
Shinso: “It’s you, correct? Midoriya Izuku?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HcSJjQsal
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLId45tjYX
Izuku: “Huh!? Oh, yeah, that’s me.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zRnZG2XV5
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFtFgFAiie
Shinso: “Mmm, good luck. You’ll need it.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZix8oNZFM
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf15AR9QRfM
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrRK0RzZ0J
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WvtNXQ4HV
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZh7GaCoc7
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRytzBOI6I
She breathes out and accepts this fact. She doesn’t want to fight him, but she won’t hold back.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf76lPXWHNS
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUaAlcLPq4
Kiri: ‘It wouldn’t be fair to him. He deserves my best, especially if I want him to give me his.’
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPcwAaHFkY
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fzFomqylb
She gives one last look at Izuku before joining her class in the stands.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItrTbJ0qmC

Izuku takes a breath and steps out into the arena.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D3LPnAS8a
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2UFtVqPe2
Izuku: ‘I can’t lose here. All Might and my family are expecting great things from me. I won’t let them down!’
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphOWSjXf23
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX0gHxdWQm
He walks up to stand in front of Shinso, who rubs his neck in boredom.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmZtw2ID60
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49A2fJ0nLn
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!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgoBnpm68I
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYopbcgw0Y

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5twqhHZo6e
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaz3m0hq7P
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!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7c1yE2RWg
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH21FKJehLV
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.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tLlA9yu7S
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0hK4Rz4Ff
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyoBKQX8RR
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIlJTZDcc1
Present Mic: “REAAAADYYYYY?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1myvpgpXM

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlGGxVcJH9
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9Ixqe4dEi
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvlkAALz0y
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYhrn3vMVY

Something was wrong. As soon as his mind touched Midoriya’s, Shinso was taken elsewhere.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhFaUKnVPq
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p4LKbXMF6
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dhKUjK9jR

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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8bp0j8Bey

Shinso: “W-Where-”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHYay1aCVG
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTXUsMhCkB
Something was watching him.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6vzVH6anI
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUlWXgQdFV
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFNpL81NKp

It was that THING!
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbCHbqvfrE
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkJIOMuKZv
It emerges from the black, hovering silently towards Shinso, getting ever closer. Its vestige was indescribable, beyond this world and its petty laws.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuullIzMBZu

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

Shinso stops, his body not his own, and turns around to bow his head in deference. The only saving grace was that he no longer had to see the creature.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMzxx7Tb35
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hrbr6fvTN
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcCj4xq2Xe
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM1g19p2ET
What he could hear was something slithering through his skin and veins. Something foreign was invading his mind, body, and soul.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQoPUwTttg
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnmXr5Xo8a
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst5zwDKfmh
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCd5gLgSPU
But Izuku wouldn’t see it that way, not when the first thing he hears is the bloodcurdling screams.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gWpPBJEpm
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdx04wJXVa
Not when he can feel a growing shift within his mind.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdvCIapGTc
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf7hC3GKJy
Not when he sees Shinso fall back in abject terror. Eyes wide and sweat dripping down his face.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMOkSV1rVU

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMlkIqcond

Silence fell upon the entire stadium. No soul wasn’t shaken by that unnatural scream. Izuku could feel their fearful eyes on him, demanding answers to their questions.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7gjgZPfVV

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinvPzk5l8u
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNDYJP8age
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjxuDqxSaX
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSyrA04RMp
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JYewVnqsC
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRboByJhs6
Vlad: “What do you mean he’s in more than perfect health?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFtPPaYb4S
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwnU4Yofpe
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.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qr3zK1u1W
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKuBTn0gcD
Vlad: “What kind of quirk could do this? Neither Shinso nor Midoriya has a quirk that can do it.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaJc1WU1W8
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncYPTBKBvc
Aizawa: “Midoriya’s quirk is versatile, but this… is different.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqSH7cbjAg
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwkjIPwuAx
Vlad: “With Tornado here, not to mention the Blizzard group, a villain couldn’t have done this.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8mOKBMT05
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPYTkZ2oZY
Aizawa: “So, we have no idea what happened.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEbDa8RzpO
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22LObAvUmV
Recovery Girl: “No, and I have no idea why the boy isn’t awake. Maybe the process needs to finish.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP83CiMNoZ
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXJriQ41VB
Vlad: “And what then? What is he becoming?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvpHGqQd6I
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqzTVVKmAb
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt5cUt7fc2
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uiVCl8yAZ
In particular, he found Mei Hatsume and her inventions to be interesting. That was a mind worth molding.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1PjTFWfrI
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9s9gdusHu
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4NC9NdUfL
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD39sZV7naB
Apotheosis: “Of course he can do that.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQtBJPhDY8
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpenQayePo
Azrael: “How comes the psychic disruptor?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWAmmlrHwP
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY86DZ073ut
Apotheosis: “… Along. Don’t rush perfection.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVhSQPEnlR
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurBiuyIkmf
Tomura: “We don’t need perfection, strategist! We just need it to be able to take a hit.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4fGBYWX2e
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrt75VBee8
Azrael: “Or be portable.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjebcGzUl5
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUkcoJ5vQV
Apotheosis: “Yeah, yeah. Where would you two be without me? I’ll get right on it.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5EucFaZON
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpxQHFWBLs
Apotheosis: ‘After I finish the current stage of my big project. If I can finish it, even Tatsumaki will have to bow before me.’
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eU85VuFsJ
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybdIpLTlPF
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69wJemc1FG
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6GBc6PZgs
Tomura: “What? Is it broken?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFahyff3OvE
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfJxBYZwAV
Azrael: “Unlikely, unless… ”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXv3zqBA37
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhMIgcJMlU
Apotheosis: “Don’t look at me. I never touched it.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePxeYZA4Ci
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v3oNT3ytX
Just then, a voice came through. It sounded like someone on the verge of a panic attack.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyfnMkhEJb
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZUpIq4nez
???: “You must kill that boy.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTdUdrGCb6
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx1KWQIJNb
After a moment, they recognized the voice. Even Kurogiri stopped to look at the screen with confusion.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMOHoXPbiZ
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS9UeI1LaP
Azrael: “Gyoro Gyoro? What is wrong?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0ScKFdJQu
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorJ3hZYSPt
Gyoro: “You must kill that boy.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggAAjuKJE6
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFlKK6IwFr
Apotheosis: “Yes, we know. It is on the to-do list.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkwMoO9Nue
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hhmnljazo
Gyoro: “No, it will be your top priority from now on.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcBi7MHfpc
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIJ0WtQWnV
Tomura narrows his eyes at the TV and lets out a low growl.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9pi8vFYwH
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS3oJ791yP
Tomura: “You are not sensei. You don’t get to order us around.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bKux93NKM
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmXvimqNV1
Gyoro: “Fool! This is more important than… ”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6kZAyelXu
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qz5xRvsRL
The quirk beast took a breath before continuing.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozOA5wnDRg
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60lU7qMUgi
Gyoro: “Forgive me, I will inform All For One about this soon. I just didn’t think it was… true.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXsNx8DkEK
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pbfCycrI2
Apotheosis: “What?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdr0ytpbdx
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyTyXrXlAF
Gyoro: “One of my… creations had the ability to see the future.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU6XtRmxoO
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEOgb6oY8v
Apotheosis: “Bull.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTMViSNX1O
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3i4T0SVTW
Gyoro: “Believe what you will. But those visions nearly drove her mad. And almost every single one of them revolved around… that boy.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz09Nb1ycM
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSk6ACOUxE
Tomura: “Him? That kid?!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRPqqyGq2P
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthPCX8YIEU
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.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCnx3cnDgn
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63z9XxmyOi
Apotheosis: “That’s some… biblical stuff.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAL3Q7CnI7
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqRiRj91AY
Kurogiri: “Are you sure about this?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC8XjGuSHe
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV08Y4JXqYl
Gyoro: “Yes. That’s why he must die. Make sure to kill the child he fought as well. To be safe.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHBmOhAnra
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBOMGc0Q1P
Apotheosis: “Well, well, well, in this context, aren’t we the good guys?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uqIBEzePW
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6k15r1nYt
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFcYboHWDH
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztXcvge6FQ
But one of them does take this seriously.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghtw9on4Tn
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUHhCnOnA4
Azrael: “I’ll do it.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JbAIUPd52
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNwSZdAY05
They all look at the very serious looking Azrael.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QWArN59Gx
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcPCPbIvIE
Apotheosis: “What? You know he’s mine. It should be me who kills him.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgAYQHZV1w
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPTdTgxpUS
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?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8zWItfcaQ
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSmL3dffye
Tomura: “… Do what you want. I don’t believe Gyoro, but this will mean we will have one less annoying hero to worry about.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ntpbOFQGQ
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo8yjniYQb
Apotheosis: “Seriously! Just because some quirk beast freak spouts some nonsense, you’ll take my vengeance!?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyObGYa4wA
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu4pKVuvMb
Azrael: “You’ll still get to do what you want with Blizzard and Tornado. Leave the boy to me, Theo. Trust me.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE7rhIYwOJ
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmi95fAKop
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeB61UyDhY
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHwRTDldHb
Apotheosis: “You better make him suffer and deliver his broken body to Tatsumaki.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uDzFq57bs
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrBmbEzsJp
Azrael: “Don’t worry, I’ll even record it if possible.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8fdMs9OZ1
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KTvMQg6xi
Apotheosis: “Good.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBuIV7KAsL
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8Xh0K6lTX
Gyoro: “So he’ll die?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoEvuggvxB
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDdwY7FMUY
Tomura: “Yeah, he’s as good as gone.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa0NmLuJhT
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOIorlz6XJ
Gyoro: “… Good. I… my creation can rest easy. I’m sorry for using up your time.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1YUbjsz4l
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkYMpMwugJ
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNnmpyLxuO
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CKDy9HxbV
Azrael: ‘Before he dies, I need to know… why him? All Might…’
