Well, the tournament hasn’t even started yet, and there are already problems.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxowIBNawJo
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PYmptk4YL
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIXZiz7JJ2
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldGrMaPfRw
That was until someone else tried to pull out, a person who surprised everyone.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIQqxBLC5c
Shiho: “I would also like to withdraw from the tournament.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZqYf3mBSz
Midnight: “Oh, and what’s your reason?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs05qVektp
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw31NMgthZ
Everyone: “A gun!?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpUmx1cPqt
Kirishima: “What is she trying to do, kill us?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JJVkycQOq
Mina: “To be fair, this whole festival has been trying to do that.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJEJlYXLWl
Kaoru: “Come on, Shiho, how about just a sword or something? A gun is… a bit far.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdq9TqLgcX
Shiho: “I suppose. And think Ms.Creation over there could create one for me. That would be nice.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tr5fFv2ls
Shiho and everyone else look towards Momo, who was still deep in thought.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYIoz2BA4G
Momo: “H-Huh?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09yYbFvkL6
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjw0AACCo1
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ClRoEsRi7
But if Shiho can have what is essentially a support item, then so could everyone else. Besides, she knows Mei will use hers.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuEgrQINKg
Momo: “Of course. If it also means I can create some things for Kyoka as well.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN03KeDINV
Jiro: “H-huh? Y-You don’t have to do that.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcPoh3eVHr
Momo: “It’s fine, I want to. You shine the best when you have your own specialized equipment.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlU4YRY3YT
Jiro: “T-Thanks, Momo.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HO1BXAhFo
Shiho smiles at the pair before turning back to Midnight.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXHVXRGJK7
Shiho: “So, would that be fine, Midnight?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDlDzWprFG
Midnight: “Such heartwarming friendship! Of course, I approve! It will also allow us to keep an even number, so that’s a plus.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi4JBK3ZZ7
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9MnfniDkp
When Momo handed it to Shiho, the young esper’s eyes flashed a light blue.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mUbUVLMLO
Shiho: “Thank you, I’ll be sure to put this to good use.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXZclAQoBM
Momo notices nothing and simply nods before walking towards Jiro. She creates something else Izuku and she have been theorizing about.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUC3m8bNKH
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsYNIiIIe7
Jiro is handed what seems like a wrist-mounted blaster with a hole for her earphone jacks.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllCKTE42SU
Jiro: “Heh, Sannomiya is the one who asked for a gun, and yet I’m the one getting it. Still, thanks, Momo.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD3bxHLXrP
Momo: “I know you’ll do great.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFWnBzFrQx
They smile and nod at each other before returning back to the front.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDWyrhr4gP
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pbvAaTMKC
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIEPsy3zwY
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
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG6Ern8NqG
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEtoZ9Dprv
The reactions were varied.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5pYWmjWB9
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4kGi5Zcnp
Momo looked at Shiho, who smiled back at her. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to give her that sword.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH257BqgX7U
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCVHpd4bCK
Next was Bakugo, who seemed confused at who he was going to fight.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjnK3Td4Co
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhzApkyaOJ
Bakugo: “Uraraka?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkl4A1ciUo
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEolOYkzlZC
Uraraka: “EEEEK!”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH767GmhyW
Mei, seeing another opportunity to advertise her babies, approached her opponent.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnic0RSCUBC
Mei: “Are you Ida?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOADMMqspfu
Ida: “Hm? I am.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreFRjI9kO5
Mei: “Scooooore!! I’m happy, since actually… ”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23jDSn37Kl
Then there is the young esper, Izuku Midoriya. His eyes narrow at where he is placed in the tournament.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSJXe96269
Izuku: ‘I’ll face Todoroki in round 2, and if I win… I’ll have to fight Kiri.’
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTlBNrZS3Q
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVJADOaVhH
He shakes his head, banishing any worrying thoughts.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjvamUWAfj
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWh3bSHgXM
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-’
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqqthNITj3
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgImywZG11h
Shinso: “It’s you, correct? Midoriya Izuku?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHSKkpMzIq
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B2bNtXEOg
Izuku: “Huh!? Oh, yeah, that’s me.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfWwT2PySH
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2FfNv2ttm
Shinso: “Mmm, good luck. You’ll need it.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2KLlyAc5P
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PVOWbU7oy
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyqKPVd4LO
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b2C17dhhG
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGltLEUEqtF
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GrM4qYhv3
She breathes out and accepts this fact. She doesn’t want to fight him, but she won’t hold back.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94hK6WKyaJ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHG5c971ju
Kiri: ‘It wouldn’t be fair to him. He deserves my best, especially if I want him to give me his.’
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPeDeT0sid
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3BqJjSXyX

Izuku takes a breath and steps out into the arena.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OqTAk4TM5
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0sQrpmG6d

He walks up to stand in front of Shinso, who rubs his neck in boredom.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG9vZ1kGQ6
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsjkXkDpsy
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!”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfntJUl8rHl

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg7JzgtHDK
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNtQBe3jem
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!”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMM5W16djt

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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CEjiv0SAw
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPjNmD9l8f
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.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaR3fdaHVn
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSfJ0edGvm
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyIGUR2Mkb
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c8evWf7ov

Something was wrong. As soon as his mind touched Midoriya’s, Shinso was taken elsewhere.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2T4UvGoTs
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq876D8Eqc6
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.

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.

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.

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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjKO9gIQpu
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5swoycAt5f
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.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK2qTLSNtO
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLaKAn2wX5
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGljLEL5nKI

Not when he can feel a growing shift within his mind.

Kaoru: “gah.”

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpRsaGVSYP
The three friends laugh, trying to lighten the atmosphere. But it didn’t affect Sabrina much. She was still focused on the future.

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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoFzcu1rRN
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WYobo8hQC
Vlad: “What do you mean he’s in more than perfect health?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlEmN02qzK
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz0TA0myUs
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lzXx8Etda
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfJGcbBQxa
Vlad: “What kind of quirk could do this? Neither Shinso nor Midoriya has a quirk that can do it.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJZIPXipM3
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHakpYzRhjh
Aizawa: “Midoriya’s quirk is versatile, but this… is different.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PvAB2AqVf
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CQ0OhDSWM
Vlad: “With Tornado here, not to mention the Blizzard group, a villain couldn’t have done this.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBbB9TAnLT
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0TxBUvwrE
Aizawa: “So, we have no idea what happened.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpF8Gg8fJU
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuElzC85J8k
Recovery Girl: “No, and I have no idea why the boy isn’t awake. Maybe the process needs to finish.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz2aM8YfU2
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2tdWaojeM

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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShxrPs5X6l
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMqEUNGOek
In particular, he found Mei Hatsume and her inventions to be interesting. That was a mind worth molding.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN6oNjiH80
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b3yjA34EX
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5750u5pyeU
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5kSPyo6yP
Apotheosis: “Of course he can do that.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uMYF3mgCk

Azrael: “How comes the psychic disruptor?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSEwt7D6BO
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzrEbO96t3
Apotheosis: “… Along. Don’t rush perfection.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLUP9KKHkX
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZUDmeYW54
Tomura: “We don’t need perfection, strategist! We just need it to be able to take a hit.”

Azrael: “Or be portable.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rIp0Vr6UP

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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRM7jihSe7

Tomura: “What? Is it broken?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4Q5g6JskK

Azrael: “Unlikely, unless… ”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjBEicK0qD

Apotheosis: “Don’t look at me. I never touched it.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkspDuLKXU
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkULlJgYhE
Just then, a voice came through. It sounded like someone on the verge of a panic attack.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNF9DOuKQf
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfxmBKlamr
???: “You must kill that boy.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X94Bvykoa
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvPfhAYL3N
After a moment, they recognized the voice. Even Kurogiri stopped to look at the screen with confusion.

Azrael: “Gyoro Gyoro? What is wrong?”

Gyoro: “You must kill that boy.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSNRtaiI1G

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t5EFR7MZ5

Tomura narrows his eyes at the TV and lets out a low growl.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod4zJr3N8J

Gyoro: “Fool! This is more important than… ”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVzNWSrqL3
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGTSho2GXw
The quirk beast took a breath before continuing.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoPuqeurZv
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uev5QEnyi
Gyoro: “Forgive me, I will inform All For One about this soon. I just didn’t think it was… true.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYaZmiq9Lf
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12XNauUbYx
Apotheosis: “What?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6fHGQRe8m
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3ZIqOKBml
Gyoro: “One of my… creations had the ability to see the future.”

Apotheosis: “Bull.”

Gyoro: “Believe what you will. But those visions nearly drove her mad. And almost every single one of them revolved around… that boy.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpbM6HlJyt

Tomura: “Him? That kid?!”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjep4rbWYQT
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83eEddohtd
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JV338XGL0
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiGPHgD7z6
Apotheosis: “That’s some… biblical stuff.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXek73xmI7

Kurogiri: “Are you sure about this?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoOs9obY2Q
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIwGMVxZdc
Gyoro: “Yes. That’s why he must die. Make sure to kill the child he fought as well. To be safe.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDHKWB1BBe
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkMcYbCWsG
Apotheosis: “Well, well, well, in this context, aren’t we the good guys?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce3BxIBItW
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVLs23s3hr
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLlIKjmk1B
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrdd4JqnAq
But one of them does take this seriously.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCz3wFIZRX
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ394VLaZ3S
Azrael: “I’ll do it.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX411vVXyBY
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKLyRh50eN
They all look at the very serious looking Azrael.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcmEe0JGpq
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqyxPFLmLo
Apotheosis: “What? You know he’s mine. It should be me who kills him.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9h6o4ceSd
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH56qEF0Pg
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?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclRh110Qhy
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx6aH3SDJJ
Tomura: “… Do what you want. I don’t believe Gyoro, but this will mean we will have one less annoying hero to worry about.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdBVaJLWfi
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlecdOmVBw8
Apotheosis: “Seriously! Just because some quirk beast freak spouts some nonsense, you’ll take my vengeance!?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3B8VtVAdi
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3oid3kmeV
Azrael: “You’ll still get to do what you want with Blizzard and Tornado. Leave the boy to me, Theo. Trust me.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxCTHev7fY
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7hWozEjEd
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY0AAw6ll5
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY8CQZXh9V
Apotheosis: “You better make him suffer and deliver his broken body to Tatsumaki.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR1b0GBaER
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSSXfkfS8r
Azrael: “Don’t worry, I’ll even record it if possible.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYb8ct9YGL

Apotheosis: “Good.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dupn5yfJw

Gyoro: “So he’ll die?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw2h9sPHgc
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41UFHpV3Ew
Tomura: “Yeah, he’s as good as gone.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74O0MbTTtU
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXS92Dyd2n
Gyoro: “… Good. I… my creation can rest easy. I’m sorry for using up your time.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzcTeh7L6b
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9tkKZ2Ad1
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrTLnfDrsS
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLTR7WhqFM
