The cleanup was messy and depressing. The amount of destruction the city faced was unprecedented. But that’s not what’s on Momo’s mind right now.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLano5o8kv
First, Edgeshot came and took Stain along with Ida away after telling everyone to stay put for statements.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Iign6zumt
Next, Kaoru came flying in to join everyone. While she gushed about her fight with Valkyrie and Tatsumaki’s feats, Kiri finally arrived and stayed by the unconscious Izuku.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV5sFZvhhQ
That’s when things took a turn. Because Tatsumaki wasn’t happy that Kiri left Izuku alone.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6rGUwSK4c
Everyone stayed a good distance away as Tatsumaki floated over Kiri. The girl’s head was down, and her hands grasped the bottom of her costume tight enough to bend it. For a solid minute, neither spoke a single word. Only when the tornado felt Kiri had enough of the silent treatment did she speak.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO0UF10IVM
Tatsumaki: “What were you doing?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR00AhVyMY
Kiri: “H-Helping… saving lives… ”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdPUkuOSq2
Tatsumaki: “What about your brother’s life? Do you know how close he came to dying?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pFOSG3Yhr
Her eyes widen and she turns to Momo.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouetYbCtGw
Kiri: “T-Trusted… classmate to-”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAbInJtslG
Tatsumaki: “You trusted someone outside our family with Izuku’s safety? What were you thinking?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScEzXGM4rf
She didn’t yell or scream, but every word bit into Kiri, making her tremble with every syllable.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwtB8iV44u
Tatsumaki: “Look at him, Kiri.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iw2b8ZJ1R
She does so. Izuku didn’t look that injured, but he has yet to awaken. And based on what her sister said, he was close to losing his fight.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkjHa4YIXE
Tatsumaki: “If you were there, he wouldn’t be like this. This is your-”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUB96KMWDh
Momo: “Wait, that’s not fair! If Tae didn’t do what she did, the swarm might have gotten worse.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0oji49uE2
Kirishima: “Y-Yeah!”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q4IUs2dMR
The others didn’t really know what Kiri was doing at the time, but they trusted her and Momo, so they nodded.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAK8OPB2TR
The eldest only gives a side glance at the interruption before returning to her main focus.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLitAOfQye
Tatsumaki: “Fine, let’s say they’re right. But you may not be so lucky to have someone else to rely on next time. What will you do then?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahyb3WG71V
Kiri: “Stay with Izu.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58k5YrNcMd
Tatsumaki: “… Good. See that this doesn’t happen again. You must protect each other. I… can’t be there all the time.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBqur6wCDC
With that, the eldest esper took off to help with the cleanup.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF8YZASnzS
Fubuki: “Since she won’t say it, I will. Thank you, Yaoyorozu.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeJLnx1U5G
Kiri: “Onee… ”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4flrAkWN2J
Fubuki finally arrived on the scene, looking a bit better than last time. Still, the signs of battle were present. Unlike Tatsumaki, she walked here instead of flying.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwytxO0tbt8
Momo: “O-Of course! Izuku is my… friend.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3fCC0nOV2
Fubuki fought down the knowing smirk as she made her way to Izuku. He was still on the bed created for Momo, and no doctor dared try to move him. Not when Tatsumaki was on her way to check on him. Besides, they too saw how well he looked. He just needed some rest.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoCrtbvE6G
So with that in mind, Fubuki levitated him off the bed and turned to everyone.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhosz6ZvyAn
Fubuki: “You all did excellently. You survived a surprise crisis none of us were prepared for. But that is the life of a hero. After the police get your statements, make sure to return home. You all earned it.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8wKfXPKrf
Despite the praise, few of them really felt happy enough to receive it. But she was right about one thing; they needed some rest.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTC7O8wVS8
While they wait for the police to come, Momo approaches Kiri, who’s a few paces away from the group. Right now, the ghostly girl was watching Fubuki walking off with her brother with a conflicted gaze.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBez9KD1xcz
Momo: “Tae, are you alright?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb3eZpYowf
Kiri: “… No.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyvDPBtSRR
Momo: “I see… ”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ca8tf6x2U
Kiri: “I… can’t help but think. Was I… wrong? Should I have ignored everything and run to Izu? I left him, and he almost… I guess my feelings really are-”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefUtGHU2mC
Momo: “Stop it.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSovbfKxaC
The girl turns her love rival so they are facing each other. She may regret this later, but she can’t stand seeing her like this.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUfB4eeEHv
Momo: “Tae, I wasn’t sure if you really were capable of love before. At least not for Izuku. But I’m sure now you really do love him.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDXxBrTTbQ
Kiri: “How? I left him… ”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgpAwXV0Nv
Momo: “That’s exactly it. If you were some soulless construct, you wouldn’t have given a single thought to anyone else if Izuku was in danger. But you did; you weighed the options and chose the best path. Even if it meant trusting his safety to someone else. And for that, I can confidently say you’re a real hero, Tae.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1vwehOOoQ
The young girl’s eyes widen at the declaration.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow0P2XXzNq
She wasn’t wrong? Her feelings are real? Even this girl of all people can accept her?
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XbkFxQycs
Not really thinking, Kiri hugged Momo. The girl in question was thrown off guard by the gesture, but Kiri’s next words helped her relax.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNq8KpZsnd
Kiri: “Thank you.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh7yXIirKm
Momo: “… Of course.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwUo3TtQdq
Yaoyorozu returned the hug, and the two stayed like that until Kiri fully realized what she was doing. At that point, she pushes herself off and coughs the embarrassment away.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqaMNAeAQR
Kiri: “I-I’m still calling you Udders.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq4SdK8Rve
Momo: “Hah. I expected as much. So, since we are on equal footing, all I want to say now is this.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx4iIByzdQ
She offers a hand to her rival.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO5mW8LLNp
Momo: “Let the best girl win.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp6rsVp21X
Kiri looks to the offered hand and then to Momo’s smiling face. Deciding to return the smile, she takes the hand and gives it a firm shake.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pTEfIKOGh
Kiri: “Nh.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CGc28LMXh
Despite the darkness of the night, at least there is some good born here. But only for those two.

“I’m sorry… the other leg was too damaged from overuse. We had to… remove it.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqDDZPbMxD
Those words echoed in Ida’s head for hours. His eyes never left his hospital bed and the empty space his legs used to occupy.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZvGnuLbOz
What did his desire for vengeance cost him?
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVO2nKNjdj
Everything.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5LGLwiCSG
Because of his failure, the name Ingenium may die with him. But perhaps… it’s for the best.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliSFgijb5c
Ida: ‘He was right about me… I don’t deserve that title.’
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmGJHEKlyL
As despair claws at his heart and soul, the door to his room slowly opened.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETZOsZt0MO
Uraraka: “Hello…”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u58L3JJ2I
In comes Uraraka, Midoriya, Tae, Todoroki, and Yaoyorozu. Each one had a gift basket. Mostly filled with fruit or candy, no doubt. After sitting down around Ida, they took various positions around the room. Todoroki was the furthest back, not really feeling like he deserved to be here. But after some insistence from Yaoyorozu and Midoriya, he relented.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhMBoj99xK
Izuku: “Sorry, we couldn’t get the whole class. Everything has been… hectic.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoNWwaD7RU
Ida: “Don’t worry about it.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFfGSTpotv
Izuku looks at the missing legs and wonders if he should try and use his quirk. Maybe he can regrow his legs. But if he can’t… he wouldn’t want to give Ida false hope.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi6Thp23ar
Izuku: “If only I was faster… ”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuBe7YTmUJ
Ida: “Don’t.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XoN3o1q0e
The group shrinks under Ida’s fierce glare.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PcxPYSqWM
Ida: “You were more of a hero than I was yesterday. This is my punishment… being… quirkless.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVY6xBYtMw
Izuku: “… What?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eUvuoutWs
Momo: “I see. Without your legs-”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVTsda4xdN
Uraraka: “You’re practically… ”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NuQCtEt6X
Disabled.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVazTwBi7K
Quirkless.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIDbC7vXBJ
Worthless.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpy1UYtkm1
Ida: “I… can no longer be a hero.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUJmrtie1v
Izuku: “You’re wrong.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBej94e1PT
His friends look at him like he’s grown a second head. Only Kiri and Momo understand. They both, unbeknownst to each other, grab a hand and give a comfortable squeeze.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSvE67FK8L
Izuku: “Ida, you will be a hero.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2W02lUriT
Ida: “What are you saying? I’m-”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC1Qg5b74x
Izuku: “So what?! If no one else believes in you, I will! If I can’t master my quirk enough to regrow your legs, then I’ll build you prosthetics. With Momo and maybe that other girl who likes to build support gear, we can do it!”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj5Fp9g25k
Water does trickle out of Ida’s eyes. He wants to believe; he wants to so desperately. But how can one become a hero, a real one, without a quirk? How can he become a hero after what he has done to the name Igenium?
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sxvpFnlOt
But as he looks into Izuku’s glowing eyes, the idea doesn’t seems so insane. Even still, he can not let hope poison him yet. For if it lets him down, Ida will truly break.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc5f66EUay
Ida: “Thank you, but-”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtPEsfBHtl
“Ah, there you all are.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k0puf8SWM
The group turns to see a man with a dog’s head entering the room casually. As if he owned the room.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXna80x0Vf0
Kiri: “Who?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDd7zoCrHK
Momo: “He’s chief of the Hosu police precinct, Mr. Tsuragamae Kenji.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkq2T1DxAU
Izuku: “Why are you here?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJw9HWRhH4
Kenji: “I’m here because two of you fought and brought in the Hero Killer, and the others used quirks unlawfully.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAPRo6DoMn
Izuku: “… Excuse me?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIj04wRYfr
Uraraka: “I don’t like where this is going.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktPdVO4ohP
Kenji: “You must understand. Since the dawning of the quirks, the police have emphasized leadership and protocol. We made it a point not to wield the quirks of individuals as weapons. But then heroes rose up to fill that gap, becoming a profession of equal validity.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUwRQPyy82
The dog turned his attention to Izuku specifically for the next part.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK9bBmDco9
Kenji: “But such individuals can injure or kill very easily. The reason why the public can rest easy and accept heroes is because they adhere strictly to the rules. I hope you understand what I’m trying to saying.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiBmV4JzLg
The second to get it was the first to voice the conclusion.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQUi7AXFKe
Momo: “You’re not saying we’re being… punished, are you?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBimWAsx838
Todoroki: “What?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpURsfSgYt
Izuku: “It is… isn’t it?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CpFxjfpXD
Kenji: “Exactly so. You may be from a family that likes to bend the rules, but that won’t save you this time. You’re all not qualified yet to use your quirks without the supervision of your guardians or supervisors. Even if the opponent is the Hero Killer or quirk beasts.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogwGCb0mu1
Surprisingly, the first to bite back against such words was the quiet one.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IoBgES2Qx
Todoroki: “So are you saying we should have followed the rules and let everyone die!? If Midoriya, Yaoyorozu, and I had, then Ida would be dead!”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ymkgDZvA7
Kenji: “So if the end results turn out all right, you think we should just throw away the rules, is that it?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19RX3iJJ67
Todoroki: “Saving people is what heroes do. It’s their job.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo60Ky7sis
Kiri: “Even vigilantes know that.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDUMkDwP8U
Kenji: “Good grief… your education has been lacking, it would seem.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUM5tNgRAu
Todoroki: “You damn mutt… ”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJGi9dLNtS
Izuku: “Hold on.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRsieZw09a
Todoroki: “Midoriya, you can’t be serious.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC2QKaT84Q
Izuku: “I don’t like it at all, but I want to know what these punishments are first.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj8TAV0viW
Kenji: “Smart. First, we can’t have others thinking what you did is acceptable. So the credit for capturing the Hero Killer will go to Tornado. Unfortunately.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfjgCvuSRQ
Todoroki: “Tch.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylPYtS3aPt
Momo: “I can accept that. We didn’t do what we did for praise.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIOhsPsbrn
Kenji: “The same must be done for the rest of you who fought the quirk beasts. Credit for helping the evacuation will be given to you, but no credit for defeating any quirk beasts. It will go to Edgeshot, Gunhead, and Endeavor.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9pPbT8DIx
Uraraka balled her fist as she remembered what she went through yesterday. But like Yaoyorozu said, she didn’t do it for glory.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nrVLdMVoK
Uraraka: “… Fine. But I want to know why.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8W7HAmF3Z
Kenji: “The public must have complete faith in our pro heroes. Learning that they were unable to handle this situation without needing help from children will endanger that.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IumRcWqST
Ida: “I… suppose that makes sense.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvaRkb3JbA
Izuku: “But what’s the real punishment?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz8glMg6tw
Kenji: “Along with the others who were involved, you all are suspended for a week.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oYcYqHaUm
Everyone: “What!?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB8PnfAfDL
Kenji: “It was going to be worse, but too many pro heroes intervened on your behalf. I also wanted to place Kaoru Akashi under house arrest for aiding the vigilante Valkyrie, but Tornado was very… persuasive.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPvKezzaAn
Izuku: “Do you really have the authority to do that?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ732IbJIbX0
For some reason, hearing that word from the boy’s mouth was… unsettling. The dog felt compelled to answer truthfully.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflJu3cLlBF
Kenji: “Given the right connections, yes.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9RKYSL5IB
Izuku: “… I see.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyON2rVjOnz
If the rose tinted glasses weren’t dirty by now, those words finally did it for Izuku.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOEcgTabkk
Izuku: “Leave.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOXYM1IgGH
Kenji: “… Alright, as long as you all understand.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzy8IdFQz4
With a swift closing of the door, the students were left alone.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Zc77uK9Y
Todoroki: “This is ridiculous.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhVBGvR2si
Uraraka: “But we can’t do much about it.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6ogO2wUJU
Kiri: “Still train.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOSzpQrxqm
Momo: “That’s right. And we should still have a day of internships. They can’t ban us from those.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnaiJ5Zrer
As the group discusses the current situation, Ida retreats into his own mind. Despite Midoriya’s words, he still sees himself as worthless.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dVJmTIp6n
Ida: ‘He looked at everyone… but me. Is this how my life will be from now on?’
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpycaQNxy6Z
It was then that he noticed Midoriya calling him.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFTXLX37mP
Ida: “Y-Yes?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuGSgZHknf
Izuku: “I said that we’ll visit again and to not forget what I said. Don’t give up, Ida; you are not worthless.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhzwVysJV7
Ida: “… Thank you, Midoriya.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ127GGEpwC8
Uraraka: “We’ll let you get some rest. Your family should be here when you wake up.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5ErMTGLJm
Ida: “I see.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaxTo7Dqtp
He doesn’t know if he can bear to face them, but he will try. What else can he do?

All Might: “DNA analysis? On the nomu?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ7v3oi7lf
Within U.A, All Might and Naomasa were sitting across from each other discussing the latest crisis to affect Japan. Current topic: the nomu that survived the Hosu Incident.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R6SXsLb20
Naomasa: “Yes, we’ve found a clue toward finding the mastermind behind this whole crisis and possibly the League of Villains.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KzDFxc3pt
Holding out a picture of some random street thug, he continues.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONcYCG9B5c
Naomasa: “Based on the analysis, this is what he looked like before.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8vHEVcM8l
All Might: “Are you saying-”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoAGW1OBS8
Naomasa: “Yes, all Nomu were once human. They aren’t simple quirk beasts. But it gets worse. We came to uncover that it has the DNA of at least four completely different people mixed in.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ2vPrpgeX
All Might: “Some kind of… experiment… artificial human?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOKdQ6FweA
Naomasa: “Correct, but that’s not the only case. All nomu are mindless monsters. But according to Tornado’s statement, Azrael also had multiple quirks. Weather manipulation, energy beams, dragon summoning, and regeneration.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD3EZmFibm
The old hero begins to sweat; this is sounding too familiar.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZtkNK6K2D
Naomasa: “No known technology can grant quirks like that. No, something like this can only be done by a quirk that can grant quirks.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpvG3d7qAq
All Might: “So… he really did survive… ”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72goIjS4YI
Naomasa: “It would seem so. And the League of Villains is his new pet project.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJofoGaMew
The policeman offers sighs and runs his hand through his hair.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFqkuBiITB
Naomasa: “And because of the Hero Killer, the organization may grow even more.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq9jkQvaxi
The man may not have made the top of the front page, but his message and killing spree still drew attention. Especially the student’s testimonies (publicly attributed to Tatsumaki) about him declaring a successor. The very same person that stood up against Tornado of all people.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkomrYt1P5
Doing something like that will draw liked-mind individuals to the organization he belongs to.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFMrBlir98
All into All For One’s hands.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PhEPKMuE0
All Might: ‘If he’s truly back… then I must tell young Midoriya and Yaoyorozu. But they are banned from school because of what happened. The brightest class I’ve seen in years is fragmented at the worst time.’
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4btXbSpxaw
But what’s the solution? How can they meet up and keep their bonds strong?
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHrp5uBYmg
It was then it clicked for the pro, an invitation he received before this whole crisis. He was going to go alone, but now…
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkIcRQxqhX
All Might: ‘I’m sure the finalists also get invites, don’t they? And if I pull a few other strings…’
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MR7TgvmLo
The man is sure this can work. It will be a nice break from what happened and allow the students to be together again. Heck, it would be the best place for young Ida to heal as well. All Might knows his successor would do all in his power to help his friend; this will make things easier.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMNXhdDqoY
With this in mind, All Might got up.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR3TdFZf3C
All Might: “Thank you for telling me this. If he has returned, we will be ready.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG97iZ0Drq
Naomasa: “I hope so. If last night is any indication, we’re all going to need to be at our best.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkrwRelfe0
All Might: “Even if that means bending some rules?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fu286qrFd
Naomasa: “Ha, when necessary.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecUPMzRFg4
With that, All Might left to make some calls and prepare for the unsanctioned class trip.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqNynPEiuq
All Might: ‘They want to suspend our students for a week? Fine, but we’ll choose where they’ll spend that suspension.’

The good doctor and Azrael watch from a one-way mirror the torture and dismantling of Muscular. He bangs against the glass, bloody and broken, begging for relief.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg5rd3o0qW
Azrael: “You do have a chance to survive and break free. Just keep fighting and give us a show. All you have to do is defeat my specially created Nomu-”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeh4YW2TgT
A creature nearly double the size of Muscular appears out of the darkness. It grabs the man’s head and drags him back into the abyss to be beaten further into a meaty mess.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7n9x18snQ
Azrael: “Fall.”

Dr. Garaki: “Impressive. It’s not as good as my lovely Hi-Ends, but it is unique.”

Apotheosis: “Had to when I heard you upset Tomura.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMucJLS4OFU
Azrael’s evolution and increased… passion annoyed their leader. Being the only one without a clear ideology wasn’t a good feeling, and, like usual, he lashed out.

Not against Azrael, but against the table. Even Tomura wouldn’t harm Azrael after he came back from the fight missing an eye and a leg. Still, things have been a bit tense.

Azrael: “He’ll get over it. He has to if he is to lead this organization in the future.”

Apotheosis: “Yeah, but right now, we’ll just have to wait and see.”

The young villain got off the wall and walked to stand next to his co-workers.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dIOGciHNp
Apotheosis: “Ouch, your new creation is really giving it to the guy. I would say I feel bad, but I’m no liar.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitiQrct4f2
Dr. Garaki: “You could create one too if you decided to accept my invitation to work together.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CCzTXNpfi
Apotheosis: “Sorry, too busy with my own project.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ4vjcDh5x
Azrael: “One you refuse to speak on.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXg6mx9J61
Apotheosis: “… I know, I’m… sorry about locking myself up for so long. I’ll reveal everything to you guys when I get back.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsYuBi1KHG
Azrael: “Leaving again? Where to this time?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDVooatDbj
Apotheosis: “Well, my schoolteacher managed to get me tickets to a wonderful place. The scientists I’ll meet, the tech I’ll steal. A true treat.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoJjMeqBPq
Just then, the door to the torture room opened up, and out stepped Kota. Yes, the creature inside was in fact that boy, transformed by the strange science of Azrael and Garaki.

Azrael: “Well done. Did you have fun?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB7uMU0wth
Kota: “Yes, thank you very much, Azrael!”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKnG1k8vW5
The eldest goes to rub the head of the boy, much to his delight.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq8hfBrBOo
Apotheosis: “Wow, you really brought a kid in. You really changed.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZuGBBtQEl
Kota’s smile turned to a scowl as he pointed at Apotheosis.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqbXWnOx2t
Kota: “Who’s he?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uaiTjKrJZ
Azrael: “Our strategist and friend, Apotheosis.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxUu99QNY7
Apotheosis’ eyes widen at being called “friend” so… blatantly like that. Hiding the oncoming blush, the villain coughed into his hand.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLzlvEWDBm
Apotheosis: “Well, I better get going. I have a lot to pack. Make sure not to kill each other while I’m gone.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCfbCZz9BX
Azrael: “You still haven’t told us where you’re going.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6B0DCAqx3
Before he left out the door, he turned around to reveal his future location.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36RZEwoj4f
Apotheosis: “I-Island.”
