In a stunning turn of events, causing an uproar not only here in Japan, but in the home of Heroes itself, America, the unshakable Number 1 All Might has revealed his true form. He has reached the limits of his power and declared he will effectively retire from Heroics!
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC3IgPi7lO
Meanwhile, the No. 5 Hero Best Jeanist and the U.A teachers Eraser Head and Vlad King are still hospitalized, but we are assured they will make a full recovery soon.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1JvDEI8pb
As for the No. 33 Hero, and member of the solidly popular Pussy-Cats, Ragdoll, an anomaly from her abduction has rendered her unable to use her quirk and, as such, suspended operation as well!
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv2CymnnVD
This is in addition to the leader of the group, Mandalay, also retiring from Heroics due to personal reasons. The future of the Pussy-Cats is unknown at this point.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfidNqJtU1
Yes, the newly dubbed “Kamino War” laid a heavy blow on many a Hero, and all in a single night! So what will become of Japan now!? Of Heroes!? That was today’s quick news bite! Stay tuned for the Weather! Back to you, Mr. Kimara…

Nezu turns off yesterday’s news and sighs in his chair. Turning around, he looks at three of his staff.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfZgtNVU59
In the middle was a tired but present All Might. To his left was Midnight and Thirteen outside her suit.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMwPahsEcU
Nezu: “I really hope the media and Mineru don’t regret covering up the deaths. Time won’t make the blow any easier on everyone.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81HJ1S3iBl
Everyone already suspected Vlad King wasn’t going to make it. But many thought Best Jeanist would recover. They were wrong.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dBXs04uD4
All Might: “But to blame it on the doctors… ”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl5Ftnc4gx
The three heroes balled their hands at the upcoming cover-up.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurRWBiE2XN
Nezu: “I understand the logic behind it. Faith in heroes is already at an all-time low. Doesn’t help that the group responsible for this is still at large. So anything to soften the blow is welcome. The deaths will be because of incompetent doctors, not because the Heroes were weak.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVklXUflHVD
Midnight: “Doesn’t mean we have to like it.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVmLa0rg1H
Thirteen: “I don’t think it’s necessary. But it’s out of our hands.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrk3tD2aBj
All Might: “I’m sorry… ”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDOip6PCG1
Nezu: “It’s not your fault. Your defeat of All For One is the only reason we’re not going through a bigger crisis. But if you revealed your connections to Tomura and Azrael, that may have done more damage than good.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYC20voWmb
Yes, the media was interested due to the information they could dig up, but All Might was ‘encouraged’ to keep it to himself. For the sake of the public’s trust.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvUSQCWmWK
Seeing that his words aren’t really helping, Nezu took a breath and smiled. He’ll try another tactic.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom3fObTGQo
Nezu: “You sacrificed your body to save a tremendous number of lives. As a citizen, a hero, and a principal, I could never thank you enough.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Sdz9MgYLv
All Might: “I didn’t do it alone.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8sfgtd10e
Nezu: “Of course, Tornado and Blizzard have helped keep things under control. But the other two negate their efforts, causing sentiments on the Midoriya family to be heated and mixed.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLoXH9kDCf
Midnight: “The media can never be satisfied, can they?”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcK1T8ZZe0
Nezu: “Unfortunately. That, along with your choice to continue working as a teacher in U.A., has also muddled the discourse. They say the fact that you shifted to U.A was a problem to begin with. And now that you can no longer fight, what would happen if the children get dragged into another villain event?”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKstSi2tAc
The principal turned a bit serious as he leaned forward.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCBAiZhJ6A
Nezu: “Everyone is quite anxious. That’s why we need to work our very best to fortify the faith in Heroes. The first step, of course, is bringing Tornado and Blizzard onto the staff.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4riRTbKIu
Midnight: “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m happy that they’ll be joining us.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa95V9LCxKf
Thirteen: “Right. This will get worse before it gets better. We’ll need all the help we can get.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BFIGWsmos
Nezu: “Indeed, and the children won’t be absent from the troubles ahead. So we absolutely must protect and raise them more robustly than ever. As such, we’ll be moving ahead with implementing a strategy that I’ve given more thought. But first… how were the home visitations? Of those who are awake.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplPzU6zukz
Midnight, who focused on Class A, and Thirteen, who focused on Class B, took a moment before answering.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJft483DJNs
Midnight: “Surprising but… ”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90DBqFkOKg
Thirteen: “Mixed.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFE1c87lo3
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi6qVq2grK
To Midnight’s surprise, most of Class A were allowed to come back to school without much trouble. Heck, Bakugo’s mother practically threw the boy back into the battlefield. Not like he was upset by that.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS112FiLoYc
But some needed convincing. The easiest were Uraraka and Shoji. They woke up from the poison not long after the war, and their parents weren’t pleased with the danger they were in.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCuDjigreX
But they both refused to stay out of the fight while their friends were still involved. Seeing their bravery, and making sure the school would do more to protect them, the parents relented.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupFHircW8i
The hardest, though, were Jiro and Momo.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BgYEisPug
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5Zl5yR2kZ
Jiro was standing at the cracked door of the living room, listening to her father speak to Midnight.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp92VVWkpW
“Hrmmmm, gotta say, this ain’t rock at all. Her injuries may not have been anything too serious, but c’mon. You want us to let her go back to school after all of that? Right after our one and only daughter was kidnapped?”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXFmVEEwAw
Midnight: “I don’t blame you for feeling that way, sir. But we’re going to reinforce how we do things, to make sure something like that doesn’t happen again. I know your daughter will make a fine hero if you give her a chance. Please, give her that chance.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBlLboHHZn
Jiro grasps her arm, hearing those words. A fine hero? Her?
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIxfjoIKGO
“Those are just words, Miss. We were the ones who had to help her go to sleep after everything.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDIFEeVVaC
The mother spoke up this time.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ4bGrlMSZ
“She didn’t get much sleep even with our help.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxCP5enVKz
Midnight: “I-I’m… sorry.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah4fEUey1m
“Sorry, won’t fix anything. We sent her there to be a hero, not a soldier.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFEgm3K45S
Yes, this was nothing like she expected. Sure, being a hero does mean she would have dealt with danger. But this is too much, too soon.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaPhqEjeFw
The death of a teacher, kidnapping, and fighting villains that can level city blocks. So yeah, a part of her didn’t want to go back to school.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsFvIhzBIG
But it was just a small part.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARXLd6KESJ
Jiro: “I want to go.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA1iQJ6sfK
Her parents and Midnight turn to see Jiro bursting through the door, eyes full of determination.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQOLOivvAF
“Dear… ”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXXFEXHRMH
“Kyoka… ”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWWiOekr09
Both of her parents look at her, bewildered by the choice. Considering her condition, they were sure she wanted to give up being a hero. But they were wrong.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLKgR5p0kf
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, I’m… still scared. Terrified even. I-I could have d-died so many times. But… a Hero wouldn’t let that stop them. Not when their friends need her. So yes, despite the danger, I still want to be a Hero.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q1x9Lfei5
Midnight smiles at the brave young girl while her parents take a moment to recover from the shock. The father sighed, knowing that he would support his daughter no matter what. Seeing the smile on his wife’s face, he knows she feels the same.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQpHS0EK9X
“Alright, but please be more careful and make sure you always have someone with you.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eOInUfIYJ
Jiro: “Y-Yes, thank you!”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt30ws0JI4m
Midnight: “And we promise she will be given the utmost protection and education. I know she’ll be a great hero.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ojuT41mZy
Jiro’s smile broadened as she fully stepped onto the path of heroism, accepting the good, and the bad.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFxdTH99VP
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rwi0DTVn5
Thanks to Jiro’s own bravery and determination, she was able to rejoin the school. But Momo…
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OA4viq5FA
“No.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzmBylIcoX
Midnight didn’t get a word in. She didn’t even get in the building. Standing outside the gated mansion, she could only take the tongue-lashing from the mother.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JUW1Ng3Oh
“My daughter will not be returning to U.A. I knew deep down it was a mistake for her to pursue heroics. But after this and other revelations, I’m going to have to put my foot down. She’s going to be home-schooled from now on. That is all.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIGgmdDq8Y
That was it, failure. Midnight had no choice but to leave and go to the next student. As for Momo herself, she was confined to her room after her parents retrieved her from the hospital during the night.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp6bHD7Mt9
She did manage to sneak out to see Izuku, but a phone call later, and she had to leave. She didn’t tell her boyfriend about the altercation with her mother. How she tried to explain why she had to be a hero, while unable to move well in her bed due to the injuries.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlb52DkeJJ
She couldn’t tell him how she let it slip about their relationship, and the fact that her mother didn’t approve.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejxbTIAWgp
How could she lay another burden on him? Her only regret now is that she couldn’t say goodbye.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc3NdcMkG5
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLND2IdO5a
Nezu: “I see. It is a shame, but at least most of Class A is intact. At least for now, we don’t know what will happen when the comatose students wake up. So, regarding Class B, I assume it didn’t fare as well.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlPDkwUiGw
Thirteen: “No, no, it didn’t.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFHlobwd2u
It was gutted in comparison.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9zM5THiLJ
Kosei Tsuburaba and Juzo Honenuki weren’t allowed to return at all. Pony Tsunotori and Kinoko Komori, despite still being comatose, were taken out as well by their parents.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA9QV4cRO0
If the other hospitalized students leave, that would be most of Class B gone.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfR7e0qphb
All Might: “I… don’t blame them. I’m surprised so many stayed.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIgO3J3GOv
Nezu: “But this does pose a problem. We have to fill some of the lost positions. Thankfully, there are three that are eager to do so.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3jO6Iab91
Thirteen: “One of them is from the Support Department, though. Wouldn’t it be better for her to stay?”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa0WPScuC1
All Might: “I agree! It would be safer.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21vMOwZ6nd
Nezu: “She insisted, and I’m sure she can offer much to both classes. While giving them a more direct access to the Support Department.”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSJ2S8VYDc
All Might: “I suppose… ”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5lOlBnHKw
All Might: ‘I hope you know what you’re doing, Melissa.’
