As a result of the attack, the world came to truly know the League of Villains.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE8jyMn7Jz
Out of the 30 students present, 11 were kidnapped.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4upf1ZNB34
Five from Class 1-A and six from Class 1-B.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy8j13l1xc
Out of the six pro heroes present, two were kidnapped, three were injured, and one was murdered.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a8Lntkhuz
Not a single villain was captured, while two quirk beasts were slain.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLduyMhWdie
All of this was told to the news by one of the students who single-handedly saved those still with us.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMMNYWFbe7
A student.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxsEc7kvsf
Not a pro hero.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hc1EW5x6C
That fact alone caused things to spiral.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2TJUArFgQ
“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-”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJDW4azFcO
Before the new anchor could go on, the TV was crushed by a green energy field.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKCmqqZnJN
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGf8gwv7gx
A death not covered by the media.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sIHPuiTku
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVemshs88fv
How would that make the higher-ups look? So they silenced it and made it look like Aizawa was captured as well.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcEbSgdrsl
Therefore, there was no funeral, not a public one anyway. This left the teachers, alongside Izuku’s sisters, to pick up the pieces.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWETLae35XH
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8RzgAycFd
So they sit, contemplate, and boil in their failure. The one with the heaviest guilt, though, wasn’t the sisters; it was All Might.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHm0nTP6nI
Fists clenched hard enough to bleed and head hung low, he thinks back to the past.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2985fUEyR
All Might: ‘If only I didn’t push him away… ’
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rJFtW3ait
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv9709ux1B
All Might: ‘If I only helped him then… ’
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1pJTsqlxt
Tatsumaki: “We’re weak.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ12RJl4Cu
The teachers turn to the strangely calm Tatsumaki. In some ways, that was even more terrifying.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgLQILszU6
Midnight: “What?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85CkynRl53
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.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhrQSifFnj
Nezu: “What would you suggest?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IHV0ZEmC5
Tatsumaki: “We go to war. We train for it, defend like we are in one, and retaliate without mercy.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpjqVLsScN
Midnight: “That’s unreasonable. You can’t-”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtkMuShgUw
Tatsumaki: “Why not?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqVF9Z2IJn
Said with an eeriness and delivered with a stare that shut down any more words from Midnight.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HqjwgkpaE
Tatsumaki: “Until this is resolved by me or All Might, that is what is required.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1NodDsivV
Snipe: “So we’re soldiers now?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFPZsyqhsM
Tatsumaki: “In a way, that’s what we always were.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttZTMIarEl
Snipe: “… And here I thought I put that behind me.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p9h3LsgmR
Nezu: “Be that as it may, we still can’t do anything at the moment.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMEdSIaS8Q
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?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMSNz6nXR0
Nezu: “What are you suggesting?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkuyXVV4q0
Tatsumaki: “A traitor.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O8jp5iBa8
The word makes them stiffen. A traitor? Among the pros?
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVmwLKnO95
Tatsumaki: “Only the teachers and pros involved knew the location.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrNCTRSdZL
Midnight: “Tornado, stop.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5df0ojumR
Tatsumaki: “No. If I can’t be out there, then I will do something here.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rCPLA4qKS
Snipe: “And how do you suppose we do that?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsREFdm2SBD
Tatsumaki: “Easy, Fubuki!”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLbwrtjZjo
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM53zx4l1VB
Snipe: “What is this?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpboRItDs2
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.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMczh1628y
Midnight: “That is a severe breach of privacy.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtL3B0kTfp
Tatsumaki: “Not if you have something to hide. I did say we are at war; I wasn’t bluffing.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZIf6VMZ7a
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…
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP60tFDWMo7
Fubuki: ‘As long as it doesn’t affect our family… maybe… we need that old Tatsumaki back. At least until this is over.’
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyoxkQfzoX
Not like Tatsu needs to be so overprotective when her siblings are growing in power steadily.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOZ0oKNcJu
Nezu: “If it will make you feel better, I consent.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH3Pf976q0
Tatsumaki: “Good.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvt7kMEjQ8
All Might would have also consented; that way he would be forced to confront his past sins. But before he could, his phone rang.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHMR3atJJ8
All Might: “Sorry, sorry, I have to take this call.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I6ca2oxVE
Tatsumaki: “Fine, we’ll do you last. Not like I suspect you anyway.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa5roUSTtj
All Might: “Thank you.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ7ZFHAPgW
Stepping out of that tension sauna, All Might sighs.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVVQURQol3
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… ’
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWrFfnIc6N
Taking a breath, he answers the call to escape the darkness of his own mind.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38z6pIUkDN
All Might: “What is it, Tsukauchi?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW7xRSKzkG
Tsukauchi: “I have good news; we may have found the League of Villains’ whereabouts!”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUhMfHsJQr
The old hero’s eyes shoot up; energy fills his lungs as his body unconsciously prepares for battle.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHRhetYv6T
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.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkGZ0MISi8
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.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxbXnsyrnY
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.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMjQewagN9
For the first time since this all started, All Might smiles.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeebi562fJc
All Might: “I’ve got some spectacular friends, thank you.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2uw0Mx609
As he says this, his body grows into his muscle form, ready to take the fight to the enemy.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrLXA6qO0o
All Might: “When I find those villains, this is what I’ll say to them: I came here for payback. For Aizawa.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNioJYwqcp
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdueCR59WdY
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4szjwYJxjm
No matter how much she pleaded, he could not stay home with his mother. Neither could Kiri; she followed him as she always does.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDPbcjAYtF
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZetxe9eES
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejrJVpdt1W
It was clear he was the father of one of the kidnapped students. But despite this, the man held out his hand.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s4YK5Hf6D
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.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqNKQRGg9v
Izuku: “B-But I didn’t save-”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIiZOW4kmJ
Minamoto: “I know… but I’m sure they would all be gone if not for you. So, thank you.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3ZN2AuXCe
The boy looked at the offered hand and sighed. It would be better to not reject the man. So he shakes his hand.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG46QqmS8A
Izuku: “I promise, I will get Akashi back.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV9EIz3z73
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.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtawKH4ZIN
Kiri: “Adopted?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvoBg8dy9r
Switching the handshake to Kiri, Minamoto continued.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjxy3nOEht
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.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ji9gDX7SL
After giving his handshake, the man took a moment before asking for something irresponsible.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77faCbMRhZ
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.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtDb6eJfuG
The boy further hardens himself and declares the future.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkOBY7tsZj
Izuku: “As long as I’m alive, nothing will happen to them or anyone else.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU7KPV0683
Sighing in relief, the man smiles.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNILebmcZxt
Minamoto: “You know, I believe you.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVZoRG3UNV
Minamoto gave a small bow and made his way outside. But not before saying something that stirred something in Izuku.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmD4VLRkqA
Minamoto: “You remind me a lot of All Might. You really make it seem like it will all be okay.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3pT646ISt
The boy turns around too late; the man is gone, but the words linger.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTSHtGNVJk
Izuku: ‘Me? Like All Might?’
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHW4PMpkhD
He looks at his palm before balling it into a fist.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWqvpkr3Bj
Izuku: ‘All the more reason why I can’t fail.’
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGZibS2cuv
A soft hand covers his, easing the growing tension.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3viIbresGM
Izuku: “Kiri?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPp3pqQdh2
Kiri: “Not alone. Save them together.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSxbu1ONuX
Izuku: “… Right. I’m not alone in this.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrZqn9Tzbd
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWVRFl4tDa
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgochp7eh8a
Kiri: “Mama Cat… ”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD9kfrnNan
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQh9JsTeGg
The only reason she was awake was because Kota clearly held back. A fact that was possible due to Mandalay being caught off-guard.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGA0CUNxMU
Mandalay: “Kiri… Midoriya… what are you doing here?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wvcoNsQ80
Izuku: “I thought you should hear what we plan to do. Maybe you’d want to join.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fOhsv5Ma6
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…
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZrx7GHSO8
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.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbJWHyPRNA
Sabrina: “Good.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJetEFtGnp
The two turn to the next to show up, the psychic girls. They… look awful. Clearly, they didn’t take the news well.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCop4MQ7F4
Sabrina: “When do we leave, and how do we find them?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRznV08ZUZ
Izuku: “First, we wait for everyone. I didn’t just contact you three.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrtHBBS3CM
Shiho: “The longer we take-”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgSCMEl21W
Izuku: “I know. But rushing won’t help us. Besides, everyone deserves a chance to help.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXjs8gzBd6
Aoi: “But the larger the group-”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3r5zk0JqK
Bakugo: “So what!?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffD7qIUiyj
At last, the rest of the students that had the strength to wake up quickly arrived.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj76I2HFyM4
Following behind Bakugo were Tokoyami, Tsuyu, Ida, and Todoroki.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWEUbPQtV7
Bakugo: “You think you can just leave us behind after what happened?! No way! I’m going to kill that scarred bastard myself!”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2JYjIytu1
Izuku: ‘You might get your chance.’
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnroZ5GaBrs
Ida: “So it’s true… ”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa6W4EOpXQ
Taking a stand in front of the unreadable Izuku, Ida let his objections become known.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJQH5h0AAu
Ida: “You want to save everyone? After barely getting out of there alive.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBXtf45xRE
Izuku: “Yes.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVf49rcGZN
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!”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutvtY3AUAL
He pleads with her, but she can only shake her head.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ZHOEXEyi
Mandalay: “Ida… you were there… you saw how… we failed. The only reason why we weren’t also captured was because of Midoriya.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkHMV3Yhte
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-”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafEsVkWAwY
Bakugo: “So what do you suggest, Four Eyes!? Sit around and do nothing!”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUXC0nLzij
Ida: “No, trust in the pros! They’ll figure something out!”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlRh3XxyeM
Todoroki: “Calm down, both of you. We’re in a hospital.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH6zINIs1Z
The two take a step back and look away from each other before they come to blows.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr44N82XiJ6
Todoroki: “None of this matters if we can’t track them. Midoriya, do you have a plan?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOfS1xUtIP
They look to see the boy nod.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyouEayWQg
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.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrON7QOBvF
Tokoyami: “Then-”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBkJ7PAwkc
Izuku: “Yes, I sensed her not long after everyone checked into the hospital. And she only moved once, from what I can tell.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgJVcKQgRK
Sabrina: “Then let’s not waste time.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYArtGuFy7
Ida: “Stop messing around! You’re all getting carried away!!”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuEPPqAl7q
Aoi: “What’s your problem! In case you didn’t get it, your friends were kidnapped! Your teacher was killed! Don’t you care!?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU49kWgXum
Eyes bloodshot, hands red with tension, Ida looked at the girl with barely contained grief and anger.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd21cGoJL5I
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… ”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIObbaun2z
Aoi’s eyes soften along with everyone else present. First his brother, then the leg, now this? How much more must the boy lose?
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rDvxTbzII
Izuku: “You won’t lose anyone else, Ida.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVz8RQeYgz
Ida: “How can you be sure?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPyfLhe1HM
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?
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5UjlVl4wk
The silence was enough of an answer. Ida turns to leave, but not before leaving them with this.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVdVWpsmXR
Ida: “Please, Midoriya, don’t put yourself and others at unnecessary risk.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCp0MYHYSY
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONNz7HwHBc
Tsuyu: “I agree with Ida.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VjQ4J5vrS
Tokoyami: “Tsuyu… ”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJobePnfcn
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-”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbZW7UmkEX
Izuku: “Then leave.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwH0XxWUrz
Suddenly, that feeling came back, and Tsuyu felt like she was in front of a predator. One whose eyes glow with an emerald fury.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTjoU6RBSi
Izuku: “I don’t care what you think or what we decide to do; we are not villains. Do you understand?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjxKmXGtqJ
Tokoyami: “Midoriya, that’s enough.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbqUyWtfBr
Noticing that he is starting to scare her, the boy reigned in his power.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ9w1EVzuT
Izuku: “I-I’m sorry. I-”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JD9cMvkZg
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnL4TTCAq5
Tsuyu: “P-Please… don’t go. We’ve lost enough.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8qpxhNJLk
And with that, the room was fully depressed. Enough was enough.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajXIoiUNgk
Izuku: “… Fine, we won’t go.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoOlc23sPp
Bakugo: “Hah!?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwu7Q1Ox9V
Kiri: “Izu… ”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYiC537oL3
Izuku: “She’s right. We shouldn’t risk anything else.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx4QHxid5c
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDQnJ2VMsY
Izuku: ‘There’s no risk if I go alone. I should be the only one that-’
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnpvB5N0Ok
Sabrina: “We expected as much.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nijipbUpO
Out of the darkness of the night emerged the psychic girls along with Bakugo, Todoroki, and Mandalay.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfBszKooN4
But it was more than them; Izuku could also sense Kiri on the rooftop in her Valkyrie form.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwW7oP3pns
Izuku: “What are you doing here!?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dtcm43MdB
Mandalay: “They suspected you would try to do it all yourself. And I did say I wanted to try and reach Kota.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl7ct62nRx
Aoi: “There’s no way you’re leaving us behind.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh3c2gwkDs
Bakugo: “I still have to pay those bastards back for what they did! You’re not stopping me, Deku!”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D9J9f7iDA
Izuku: “But-”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcl2LMmqX0
The words die on his lips when he sees their determination.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy01uWFmQl9
Izuku: ‘Nothing I say will change their minds will it? Just like me… I’ll just have to protect them then. At all costs.’
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa7OnCk2yy
Izuku: “Fine.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzmb76Cqk9
Izuku: “Kiri, I can sense you too. You can come too. Please, be careful.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH1KopQB0Z
Kiri: “Nh. Will save Udders. Umbra keeps Treetop company while gone.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksHntVTU71
Izuku: “Understood.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qM2tXQRZV
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.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k2TYwDb1E
Izuku: “… Thank you.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lzkEKki7h
Shiho: “So, can we go now?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLIsSDsVjX
Not quite, since out of the hospital came a still smoldering Ida.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI7rXL8hXQ
Ida: “So you’re going?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WtNCMAIdK
Izuku: “Yes.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi2EllsVxj
Ida: “Why… of all people… why you two… ”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U0N94bkP5
He says while looking at Izuku and Todoroki.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA2G6M2lkx
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!?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fHi7FJRsp
Izuku: “This isn’t the same.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U19jpHk4u
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!”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS0dEOWZvn
Bakugo: “And what of it!?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaZO9cwZFE
Ida: “You’ll end up just like me if you go with that kind of rashness!”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3wMuWzWa4
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.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSDHdEw1Cj
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFmBb3St0o
Izuku: ‘Save first, defeat later. Right… anything else would dishonor Aizawa’s memory and his teachings. We’re heroes, not villains.’
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTGn1MIsgt
Izuku: “You’re right, Ida, I do want vengeance.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllxQbPx186
Mandalay: “Midoriya?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSMzJeN8Wf
Ida: “Then-”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz34Hk3mOU
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.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRmlVKoGos
Izuku: ‘Unless I have to.’
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh2qwWntXF
Aoi: “So no combat, huh?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkgIZjKiKg
Todoroki: “We don’t need to confront them head-on to save our friends.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpMeIzIEQR
Shiho: “And that way, we won’t break any rules.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3kNCLG91A
Mandalay: “Exactly! So, Ida, knowing that, will you join us?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Txiivgxcm
Ida: “… What about Bakugo?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97dLYlo2dS
The group looks at the growling boy, who eventually conceded, shockingly.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WKjnsyJeu
Bakugo: “Fine! Let’s just go!”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0sbv9y4Bp
Sabrina: “Agreed.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H1F8qn8Xk
Ida: “… Alright. I’ll join you. To help with making sure none of you do anything to jeopardize the mission!”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkHHrrP0mR
Izuku: “Haha, alright. Follow me, everyone, stay close.”

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