As a result of the attack, the world came to truly know the League of Villains.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94XfTjg0EP
Out of the 30 students present, 11 were kidnapped.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWY47bgEik
Five from Class 1-A and six from Class 1-B.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK0XFfsntg
Out of the six pro heroes present, two were kidnapped, three were injured, and one was murdered.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo50iNQMz7C
Not a single villain was captured, while two quirk beasts were slain.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtsKFHpIfL
All of this was told to the news by one of the students who single-handedly saved those still with us.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86s97qwqzN
A student.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wQTMhTxaZ
Not a pro hero.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1obb5V6Mb
That fact alone caused things to spiral.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8hgts2ovu
“Following last month’s hot topics of the attack on U.A, the Hero Killer case, and the Hosu Incident, now we have the biggest mass-kidnapping case of the decade. People are questioning, “What are the pros doing?” How can we trust them when even their best defenses crumble to common criminals? When a simple child can-”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYWohB9yHn
Before the new anchor could go on, the TV was crushed by a green energy field.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cqC7rCh4h
The conference room was thick with the mixture of anger and depression. And the one that could bring some joy to the mix with a joke is gone, too heartbroken over his friend’s death.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXnbU0cZMB
A death not covered by the media.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01453Z7UuJ
Yes, Aizawa’s passing was covered up to save some face. For these villains to not only kidnap pros and students but to kill one of their best, it was too much of an insult. Add on that a student had to step up to solve the problem.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw2bmVBf2X
How would that make the higher-ups look? So they silenced it and made it look like Aizawa was captured as well.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOjYoWUuso
Therefore, there was no funeral, not a public one anyway. This left the teachers, alongside Izuku’s sisters, to pick up the pieces.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt50uM6nvG
But what could they do about the situation but wait? There were no leads. Tatsumaki has been searching for these monsters for months and found nothing. They weren’t going to suddenly run into them now.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bNE10QOOo
So they sit, contemplate, and boil in their failure. The one with the heaviest guilt, though, wasn’t the sisters; it was All Might.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2c9jSWyWH
Fists clenched hard enough to bleed and head hung low, he thinks back to the past.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27MpCawO1G
All Might: ‘If only I didn’t push him away… ’
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjmuWgTI4v
Azreal wasn’t the only villain, but it was clear he’s the strongest tool in their arsenal. And All Might was the one to send him straight into the arms of All For One. All those years ago, when he was a kid not that different from Midoriya.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH35XkuERe6
All Might: ‘If I only helped him then… ’
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lpKiVrMop
Tatsumaki: “We’re weak.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvmnSGEg2X
The teachers turn to the strangely calm Tatsumaki. In some ways, that was even more terrifying.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps5LoPf4Xz
Midnight: “What?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxbLOXrPF2
Tatsumaki: “Peace, All Might’s era, made heroes weak. Even… me. Why are we doing summer camps? Why are we doing school festivals and internships as if everything is normal? Nothing about this is normal. We’re at war, and we should be acting like it.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVpZsaIHA7
Nezu: “What would you suggest?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs0jEsVfi7
Tatsumaki: “We go to war. We train for it, defend like we are in one, and retaliate without mercy.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61OQmCY985
Midnight: “That’s unreasonable. You can’t-”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKXqPIbB9e
Tatsumaki: “Why not?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0YRqeIYm8
Said with an eeriness and delivered with a stare that shut down any more words from Midnight.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqHK6mWIzG
Tatsumaki: “Until this is resolved by me or All Might, that is what is required.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtprPKdeCVM
Snipe: “So we’re soldiers now?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKKV4aRrLh
Tatsumaki: “In a way, that’s what we always were.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sEzmSNaBQ
Snipe: “… And here I thought I put that behind me.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zBfZab7PO
Nezu: “Be that as it may, we still can’t do anything at the moment.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu06vD7WQXK
Tatsumaki: “There is one thing. Tell me, Nezu, how did they know where to attack? Is Apotheosis that smart or are our defense that weak?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD2aTRRTBh
Nezu: “What are you suggesting?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq3ubMXVSt
Tatsumaki: “A traitor.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ12e5XHUxK
The word makes them stiffen. A traitor? Among the pros?
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQftfef3gK9
Tatsumaki: “Only the teachers and pros involved knew the location.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFapuQQGHf
Midnight: “Tornado, stop.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQCrHNjVjx
Tatsumaki: “No. If I can’t be out there, then I will do something here.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPzgTXWMU8
Snipe: “And how do you suppose we do that?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeMpSvNOxz
Tatsumaki: “Easy, Fubuki!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIctzFeZtI
Without warning, her little sister entered the room, instantly lowering the temperature within. It is true that their brother has grown strong enough to not only save almost everyone by himself, but also come out without much injury. But the fact he, alongside his friends and Kiri, was placed in harm’s way again doesn’t lessen their anger.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjR02GEANW
Snipe: “What is this?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Do0RgwFwj
Tatsumaki: “My sister has grown much stronger recently and can probably find out if the traitor is in this room. All you have to do is let her read your mind and memories.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwHWqHWmQW
Midnight: “That is a severe breach of privacy.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU4jT4vCXZ
Tatsumaki: “Not if you have something to hide. I did say we are at war; I wasn’t bluffing.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLljTnTTUsn
The older sister doesn’t see the quick glance of worry Fubuki sends her way. The cold calmness reminds her too much of the past. But considering the circumstances…
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG3rBWrEpX
Fubuki: ‘As long as it doesn’t affect our family… maybe… we need that old Tatsumaki back. At least until this is over.’
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdAwhieiSe
Not like Tatsu needs to be so overprotective when her siblings are growing in power steadily.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDrbzrZooo
Nezu: “If it will make you feel better, I consent.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqHksjUJBv
Tatsumaki: “Good.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVSds4PF86
All Might would have also consented; that way he would be forced to confront his past sins. But before he could, his phone rang.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiFUqC5gxf
All Might: “Sorry, sorry, I have to take this call.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4sy7N8gDJ
Tatsumaki: “Fine, we’ll do you last. Not like I suspect you anyway.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqmzQeALtd
All Might: “Thank you.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlEIqOSBEK
Stepping out of that tension sauna, All Might sighs.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AkUxCM3Ug
All Might: ‘… I couldn’t even protect my own students… or my friend… again, All For One takes someone from me. Some ‘Symbol of Peace’ I am… I have no right to call myself a hero… ’
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUgegSjAxk
Taking a breath, he answers the call to escape the darkness of his own mind.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBxdp0AryX
All Might: “What is it, Tsukauchi?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H2QpqNH43
Tsukauchi: “I have good news; we may have found the League of Villains’ whereabouts!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FY8BWltrf
The old hero’s eyes shoot up; energy fills his lungs as his body unconsciously prepares for battle.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxfBxR6Tvz
Tsukauchi: “A few weeks ago, one of my subordinates was conducting an investigation. We learned of an incident where a man with a patched face was occupying a building… where there were supposedly no tenants.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77A5ZC0n8F
Tsukauchi: “The man looked like he was in his 20s; we fished through records of past criminals for notable characters but found nothing. When we checked with the building owner, he mentioned there was a hideout-like bar inside the building. We decided at the time that the incident was unrelated to the investigation at hand.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s0aeWTI4F
Tsukauchi: “But one of the people who attacked the forest lodge matches the man’s description! That’s the current situation; once we verify the details, we’ll bust in there. This is all top secret; I’m only telling you because it’s you! I know you and the rest want in on this.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz5ESFbtJE
For the first time since this all started, All Might smiles.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHzRf5DqtT
All Might: “I’ve got some spectacular friends, thank you.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fC3HKbXu1
As he says this, his body grows into his muscle form, ready to take the fight to the enemy.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOkWBif9mM
All Might: “When I find those villains, this is what I’ll say to them: I came here for payback. For Aizawa.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmwi6ZjpR2
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKnfPAyDU0
Izuku couldn’t stay home. It was too peaceful, too bright. His mind was still sharpened by the events, and he desired to end this once and for all.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfjamwtqnC
No matter how much she pleaded, he could not stay home with his mother. Neither could Kiri; she followed him as she always does.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw7shqo4Hu
Now, he’s at the nearby hospital to visit those who are awake and those who are not.Sadly, Kendo wasn’t among those awake, finally succumbing to poison gas and falling into a short-term coma.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwLLn4ZxRd
Walking through the front door of the hospital, a monument of his failure notices him. The tall and well-kept man with glasses walked toward Izuku. When he was within arm’s reach, he could see the bags under his eyes.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlAAOE2XSo
It was clear he was the father of one of the kidnapped students. But despite this, the man held out his hand.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPNSJetK0X
Minamoto: “You must be Izuku and Kiri Midoriya. My name is Koichi Minamoto. I wanted to say thank you for saving my daughters Shiho and Aoi.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyiS57Mn4x
Izuku: “B-But I didn’t save-”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfj15l0ZY0
Minamoto: “I know… but I’m sure they would all be gone if not for you. So, thank you.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMIszKdm0f
The boy looked at the offered hand and sighed. It would be better to not reject the man. So he shakes his hand.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX67zBhNtd
Izuku: “I promise, I will get Akashi back.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9GgDEtXyl
Minamoto: “I honestly should be telling you to leave it to the pro heroes. But I have a feeling you won’t stay put. I’m glad my daughter has such great friends. She… didn’t always have such things.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGfD3Fzy5L
Kiri: “Adopted?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQMdnvdl3x
Switching the handshake to Kiri, Minamoto continued.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVy1VTa0l8
Minamoto: “Yes, all three of my girls were adopted. It was hard at first, but worth it. So I have no doubt Aoi and Shiho will want to go with you. I’m surprised they, along with Kanto, haven’t torn the city apart looking for her.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4N9Kn3ovm
After giving his handshake, the man took a moment before asking for something irresponsible.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQByTs7ov0Y
Minamoto: “I-I’m not a hero. I can’t save them, and I can’t stop them when they jump into danger. So if Shiho, Aoi, and Kanto do decide to join you, please… protect them.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH8i33ZbKC
The boy further hardens himself and declares the future.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGF0IIjRJF
Izuku: “As long as I’m alive, nothing will happen to them or anyone else.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpANG9qCwfL
Sighing in relief, the man smiles.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpeeoY15LE
Minamoto: “You know, I believe you.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX9nbdZirL
Minamoto gave a small bow and made his way outside. But not before saying something that stirred something in Izuku.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3OPSrIvuB
Minamoto: “You remind me a lot of All Might. You really make it seem like it will all be okay.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdMRJufvpb
The boy turns around too late; the man is gone, but the words linger.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapZrWqoPln
Izuku: ‘Me? Like All Might?’
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGA9L2bSNF
He looks at his palm before balling it into a fist.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI57ca6Yme
Izuku: ‘All the more reason why I can’t fail.’
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6PaygrZE2
A soft hand covers his, easing the growing tension.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy5dRFUz66
Izuku: “Kiri?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsTFxAhKhQ
Kiri: “Not alone. Save them together.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNGS3EJGqc
Izuku: “… Right. I’m not alone in this.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yXIhtuTdL
With that, the prince scans the whole building and calls everyone who is awake to meet him in a particular room. The one where the Pussy Cats are in.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvDyeuvBO9
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9CJ9uBlxH
Kiri: “Mama Cat… ”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55Am4QYhST
The duo was the first ones to find and enter the room. Mandalay was the only one awake. To the right of her bed was a badly injured Tiger, and to the left was Pixie-Bob, still out due to a concussion. It’s been a whole day, and still they haven’t stirred.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LpVHSDZLP
The only reason she was awake was because Kota clearly held back. A fact that was possible due to Mandalay being caught off-guard.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7TP3ntIIr
Mandalay: “Kiri… Midoriya… what are you doing here?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoDGDXpTAa
Izuku: “I thought you should hear what we plan to do. Maybe you’d want to join.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYPcARiMEG
Mandalay hangs her head low and swallows the bile rising. She knows what they plan to do. She should warn them off, to trust the pros, but…
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonRySPdLQb
Mandalay: “Kota… if it means I can see him again… save him from whatever happened… then I’ll join you. I know you plan on saving everyone.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX2h41n49j
Sabrina: “Good.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVFLUnR38s
The two turn to the next to show up, the psychic girls. They… look awful. Clearly, they didn’t take the news well.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNr8nBbe1B
Sabrina: “When do we leave, and how do we find them?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKEWZYg6zk
Izuku: “First, we wait for everyone. I didn’t just contact you three.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71dWu8xb3t
Shiho: “The longer we take-”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyUqfwta4W
Izuku: “I know. But rushing won’t help us. Besides, everyone deserves a chance to help.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2xRMV6okV
Aoi: “But the larger the group-”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaIUvLyTei
Bakugo: “So what!?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAr5bdT8Ak
At last, the rest of the students that had the strength to wake up quickly arrived.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XTJqRYdtG
Following behind Bakugo were Tokoyami, Tsuyu, Ida, and Todoroki.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeMAZtkO1z
Bakugo: “You think you can just leave us behind after what happened?! No way! I’m going to kill that scarred bastard myself!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxN51qsl5U
Izuku: ‘You might get your chance.’
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKaXXjUlCh
Ida: “So it’s true… ”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuUb9ZrjvW
Taking a stand in front of the unreadable Izuku, Ida let his objections become known.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cKtmhrPY1
Ida: “You want to save everyone? After barely getting out of there alive.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRYFdgmE0c
Izuku: “Yes.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH0mnd1m4R
Ida: “Y-You idiot! This is a matter that should be left to the professionals! This is not something students should be messing with! Please, Miss Mandalay, speak some sense into them!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl36iGDG6Ph
He pleads with her, but she can only shake her head.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0LMCalsRX
Mandalay: “Ida… you were there… you saw how… we failed. The only reason why we weren’t also captured was because of Midoriya.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyozNIzMogF
Ida: “That’s even more of a reason to not go! They won’t let him escape again; they’ll be prepared! And if Midoriya is taken out again-”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncL3KkUiA3
Bakugo: “So what do you suggest, Four Eyes!? Sit around and do nothing!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0wkeyNIdD
Ida: “No, trust in the pros! They’ll figure something out!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYrxege97L
Todoroki: “Calm down, both of you. We’re in a hospital.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNVIlkowQK
The two take a step back and look away from each other before they come to blows.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dNlVp9iLc
Todoroki: “None of this matters if we can’t track them. Midoriya, do you have a plan?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQT8UVsGrk
They look to see the boy nod.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8Z0NXliMH
Izuku: “Momo and I have a connection. Like with Kiri, I can sense where she is. It will feel like a general direction the further she is though. I also can only sense her if she isn’t compressed by that strange quirk I saw.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjefETbjV5J
Tokoyami: “Then-”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzczxDXRs52
Izuku: “Yes, I sensed her not long after everyone checked into the hospital. And she only moved once, from what I can tell.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H8vMZ0CWz
Sabrina: “Then let’s not waste time.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku5ErlJ9fv
Ida: “Stop messing around! You’re all getting carried away!!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl3wVQiFUW
Aoi: “What’s your problem! In case you didn’t get it, your friends were kidnapped! Your teacher was killed! Don’t you care!?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT668NcSCwY
Eyes bloodshot, hands red with tension, Ida looked at the girl with barely contained grief and anger.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jlpTo0aq7
Ida: “I know… but that’s why we can’t do it. Sensei… is gone… and I… I can’t… I can’t lose anyone else. Please… ”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN3RxcpfkI
Aoi’s eyes soften along with everyone else present. First his brother, then the leg, now this? How much more must the boy lose?
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAf26TGvgA
Izuku: “You won’t lose anyone else, Ida.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr4EF6TR7q
Ida: “How can you be sure?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECSjD65bpq
As much as Izuku wants to say otherwise, that he can do it, there are no guarantees. He’ll survive; he’s powerful enough to say that. But what about everyone else?
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xm1rjwlIZ
The silence was enough of an answer. Ida turns to leave, but not before leaving them with this.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzntoHH169w
Ida: “Please, Midoriya, don’t put yourself and others at unnecessary risk.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXRR06AIqd
After leaving, the room was silent for a time, letting Ida’s words settle in their minds. After a minute, Tsuyu was the next to speak.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eTqJr0oCD
Tsuyu: “I agree with Ida.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEaodbfgGq
Tokoyami: “Tsuyu… ”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5oGFVJES5
Tsuyu: “We’re all still in shock after… what happened. But we could make things worse if we go. More than that, we’re not licensed heroes. No matter how we feel, we’re not allowed to break the law like that. If we start doing so, then eventually we’ll be no different than vil-”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC5bHtWZYP
Izuku: “Then leave.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjpvYVN03z
Suddenly, that feeling came back, and Tsuyu felt like she was in front of a predator. One whose eyes glow with an emerald fury.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ko7seemdj
Izuku: “I don’t care what you think or what we decide to do; we are not villains. Do you understand?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDxzjE93SH
Tokoyami: “Midoriya, that’s enough.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpoEx9k60W
Noticing that he is starting to scare her, the boy reigned in his power.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe0YVpsP9O
Izuku: “I-I’m sorry. I-”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W3femmZSt
Not saying anything more, Tsuyu turned to leave. Partly out of fear, but also a desire to escape what is quickly spiraling out of control. Still, the love she has for her friends won out and allowed her to speak once more.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoLoiIF4Ia
Tsuyu: “P-Please… don’t go. We’ve lost enough.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWo8dpBkPM
And with that, the room was fully depressed. Enough was enough.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozOmmHfVrn
Izuku: “… Fine, we won’t go.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4TFT76Zh6
Bakugo: “Hah!?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDffDM3ITW
Kiri: “Izu… ”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFkoGmZLIY
Izuku: “She’s right. We shouldn’t risk anything else.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo4HonpwC7
Pushing past them, the boy left it all behind. He didn’t look back to see some of their knowing looks. An hour later, Izuku was outside and prepared to do it all alone.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa80BQxOVyO
Izuku: ‘There’s no risk if I go alone. I should be the only one that-’
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ5k26OFoS
Sabrina: “We expected as much.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIi1h5sfug
Out of the darkness of the night emerged the psychic girls along with Bakugo, Todoroki, and Mandalay.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACNqkLaXk0
But it was more than them; Izuku could also sense Kiri on the rooftop in her Valkyrie form.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzjQZDER5Y
Izuku: “What are you doing here!?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBOOJ9Bmdq
Mandalay: “They suspected you would try to do it all yourself. And I did say I wanted to try and reach Kota.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsbjHlEdJd
Aoi: “There’s no way you’re leaving us behind.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcCtaqdXw8
Bakugo: “I still have to pay those bastards back for what they did! You’re not stopping me, Deku!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp6mMR6RCV
Izuku: “But-”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BsvBduKLz
The words die on his lips when he sees their determination.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovaF74ro1h
Izuku: ‘Nothing I say will change their minds will it? Just like me… I’ll just have to protect them then. At all costs.’
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMDXyCDqKe
Izuku: “Fine.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UYR5d4xnt
Izuku: “Kiri, I can sense you too. You can come too. Please, be careful.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sUVH8rtaX
Kiri: “Nh. Will save Udders. Umbra keeps Treetop company while gone.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QjMvT2wAJ
Izuku: “Understood.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig7pjSKnCN
Izuku: ‘Back to Udders, huh?’

Mandalay: “Good. Now don’t worry about legal consequences. I’ll take full responsibility. I won’t let anyone come after you all.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qbz36aWjv
Izuku: “… Thank you.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cxJlPkYoO
Shiho: “So, can we go now?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyZTcZMrJ8
Not quite, since out of the hospital came a still smoldering Ida.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfEWPoJckn
Ida: “So you’re going?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTX3N97GvW
Izuku: “Yes.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7arr9C20d6
Ida: “Why… of all people… why you two… ”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAOcLgSu69
He says while looking at Izuku and Todoroki.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRDApTBReK
Ida: “The two of you who saved me when I did something just like this. Why are you two making the same mistake I made!?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwAaYCRbDn
Izuku: “This isn’t the same.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKr35pYBSF
Ida: “Isn’t it!? Even with a pro’s assistance and blessing, you’re still going out for vengeance! I can see it your eyes! Same with Bakugo!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsp8qbE6e5
Bakugo: “And what of it!?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX69s3vjm4m
Ida: “You’ll end up just like me if you go with that kind of rashness!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWy8CKTOeF
Aoi: “Well, that’s them. As for the rest of us, we’re not doing this for vengeance. We just want to save our friends.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlmOkXhEmk
She’s right, but Izuku can also see the truth in Ida’s words. Bakugo clearly wants payback, and so does he. The boy only just now realized how he almost fell into that trap again.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2Ae1AJEP0
Izuku: ‘Save first, defeat later. Right… anything else would dishonor Aizawa’s memory and his teachings. We’re heroes, not villains.’
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSzunkGeq8
Izuku: “You’re right, Ida, I do want vengeance.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLQqiU9Yy5
Mandalay: “Midoriya?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpdOajjtg7
Ida: “Then-”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO57sVGpNDO
Izuku: “But I won’t let that cloud my judgment. This is a rescue mission, first and foremost. As much as a part of me wants to, I won’t fight.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nJTP7uyAp
Izuku: ‘Unless I have to.’
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBt3MNWVCT
Aoi: “So no combat, huh?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qPR8pZ3lO
Todoroki: “We don’t need to confront them head-on to save our friends.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uGXSXHS3D
Shiho: “And that way, we won’t break any rules.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvIxufegxz
Mandalay: “Exactly! So, Ida, knowing that, will you join us?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqVlOKe5iQ
Ida: “… What about Bakugo?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPVbKnXlt7
The group looks at the growling boy, who eventually conceded, shockingly.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5NAyIca8n
Bakugo: “Fine! Let’s just go!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrkmtqVwk6
Sabrina: “Agreed.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3wyA7h7hz
Ida: “… Alright. I’ll join you. To help with making sure none of you do anything to jeopardize the mission!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxygGnK34CB
Izuku: “Haha, alright. Follow me, everyone, stay close.”

With everything finally settled, the group enters into the night in search of their taken friends.
