Well, the tournament hasn’t even started yet, and there are already problems.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaut7jeq0i
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8enskR6Bc
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIPJ4TOqmw
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb4cjukz6f
That was until someone else tried to pull out, a person who surprised everyone.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5RBMTAxFb
Shiho: “I would also like to withdraw from the tournament.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5JzRd91zk
Midnight: “Oh, and what’s your reason?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa2Dxn6OlP
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.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wilwg7Tnm
Everyone: “A gun!?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGipTXzvQo
Kirishima: “What is she trying to do, kill us?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnZnvCRMtP
Mina: “To be fair, this whole festival has been trying to do that.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs1xCgYv3N
Kaoru: “Come on, Shiho, how about just a sword or something? A gun is… a bit far.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOp3YinI9N
Shiho: “I suppose. And think Ms.Creation over there could create one for me. That would be nice.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOBnbXlqZl
Shiho and everyone else look towards Momo, who was still deep in thought.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaDWq6reqI
Momo: “H-Huh?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmyMKqR9t9
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.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlfQIBGyxd
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZduQZ5uFTT
But if Shiho can have what is essentially a support item, then so could everyone else. Besides, she knows Mei will use hers.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjVgUDgv7q
Momo: “Of course. If it also means I can create some things for Kyoka as well.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nNuBsYL8w
Jiro: “H-huh? Y-You don’t have to do that.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyxfbbjCgm
Momo: “It’s fine, I want to. You shine the best when you have your own specialized equipment.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qNSpI4at3
Jiro: “T-Thanks, Momo.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkSV5NlxLg
Shiho smiles at the pair before turning back to Midnight.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxnGPuWTE4
Shiho: “So, would that be fine, Midnight?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnpbwvZZ0S
Midnight: “Such heartwarming friendship! Of course, I approve! It will also allow us to keep an even number, so that’s a plus.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuqABeQ8Wb
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPcuW1UnlG
When Momo handed it to Shiho, the young esper’s eyes flashed a light blue.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQZNB66JqM
Shiho: “Thank you, I’ll be sure to put this to good use.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1yYxSGDLb
Momo notices nothing and simply nods before walking towards Jiro. She creates something else Izuku and she have been theorizing about.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY4REBNhhl
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.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrNH1HxcH7
Jiro is handed what seems like a wrist-mounted blaster with a hole for her earphone jacks.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3dCBrOSj0
Jiro: “Heh, Sannomiya is the one who asked for a gun, and yet I’m the one getting it. Still, thanks, Momo.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPgeihfSkK
Momo: “I know you’ll do great.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8otGQMEtMr
They smile and nod at each other before returning back to the front.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03C3JkKuqU
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.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU9L2hEu2r
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7g50rlqJU
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
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXp3XXiqNp
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRV9Jqon7O
The reactions were varied.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4dH8h5HrY
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpDqVJjcBf
Momo looked at Shiho, who smiled back at her. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to give her that sword.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugy1jRJbRD
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHd3N1NWOz
Next was Bakugo, who seemed confused at who he was going to fight.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV8ErDRkiF
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2GAv4UTro
Bakugo: “Uraraka?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLHhKbL0EQ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9DBwM0Wd7
Uraraka: “EEEEK!”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXNxPDyDei
Mei, seeing another opportunity to advertise her babies, approached her opponent.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYpGUj8Vxp
Mei: “Are you Ida?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaiMY7XMWT
Ida: “Hm? I am.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFiTFxISNY
Mei: “Scooooore!! I’m happy, since actually… ”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCsk8azEzA
Then there is the young esper, Izuku Midoriya. His eyes narrow at where he is placed in the tournament.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4hIlDBlSd
Izuku: ‘I’ll face Todoroki in round 2, and if I win… I’ll have to fight Kiri.’
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46uBwzjflC
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX3HLuXk9X
He shakes his head, banishing any worrying thoughts.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0SrYmFxVW
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF6gOYHVcy
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-’
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy51PxTr7aZ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6BG3ieo1E
Shinso: “It’s you, correct? Midoriya Izuku?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvqrwOkf1T
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKST7y9Wwj
Izuku: “Huh!? Oh, yeah, that’s me.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHpIa6YEvR
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AvCimdUBW
Shinso: “Mmm, good luck. You’ll need it.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjvhv1fPBa
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnYbz7ZGYo
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzJrGwxwt9
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFHPZ2aYjm
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAiPSyxPvl
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd8s2zdJLf
She breathes out and accepts this fact. She doesn’t want to fight him, but she won’t hold back.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCaJqAKuhG
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89hrdU3L6O
Kiri: ‘It wouldn’t be fair to him. He deserves my best, especially if I want him to give me his.’
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IUDTsN5eo
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6OJSmyQvr
She gives one last look at Izuku before joining her class in the stands.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGu5mMIVZI
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JNO41DDC6
Izuku takes a breath and steps out into the arena.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTjGQM4cph
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry5dPqcZyY
Izuku: ‘I can’t lose here. All Might and my family are expecting great things from me. I won’t let them down!’
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ii7ryCsqE
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaaycd5YZ7
He walks up to stand in front of Shinso, who rubs his neck in boredom.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmVyp8su0Z
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XaZ9QrRz3
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!”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFLbVscEmv
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyAGNy34f1

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm26L3coIZ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8FGsigNgN
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!”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKcbCqaXPF
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE76JNgeHT
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.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkiJcH6NPk
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtawJt3vDEy
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVjMlqWGxt

Present Mic: “REAAAADYYYYY?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXEklyFo5j

Izuku: “I do understand. But the how is just as important. And I’ll prove it now. I’m sorry, but I’m ringing you out.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxVnslG80v
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIae2IF7wV
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsJZUh6tSu
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOnonlyAfO
Shinso: “I’m not.”

Something was wrong. As soon as his mind touched Midoriya’s, Shinso was taken elsewhere.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRdDoW0lqW
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqyPstHLEQ
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWXsdqzGQm
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRL0m9d05O
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgFYx6ERsN

Something was watching him.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfltavX5F9
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcgJQTRA8d
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.

It was that THING!
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6cZeUiMgU

It emerges from the black, hovering silently towards Shinso, getting ever closer. Its vestige was indescribable, beyond this world and its petty laws.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IFVrU4IrI

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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIhNmpii9Q
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJPqMtEKj4
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLiMmnqujQ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTembSheQKT
What he could hear was something slithering through his skin and veins. Something foreign was invading his mind, body, and soul.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0iCRQNtlt
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFOqLCtvA2
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETg0n8AF1E
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS3f3BAfiL

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6LFEV1Q4j

Not when he can feel a growing shift within his mind.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo66Bg35zx

Not when he sees Shinso fall back in abject terror. Eyes wide and sweat dripping down his face.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LHcyaIwxh

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjBF62SSvJ

Silence fell upon the entire stadium. No soul wasn’t shaken by that unnatural scream. Izuku could feel their fearful eyes on him, demanding answers to their questions.

Sabrina: “I wasn’t that scary… was I?”

Kaoru: “gah.”

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

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLxKZTJOg5
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY4zsJIkJZ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzBNdIVtf2
Vlad: “What do you mean he’s in more than perfect health?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AWwcTkHm6
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC75gcZwdZA
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.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6Q0JA3CjM
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS9C09dbrL
Vlad: “What kind of quirk could do this? Neither Shinso nor Midoriya has a quirk that can do it.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYfclrWytI
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VZE6uklaM
Aizawa: “Midoriya’s quirk is versatile, but this… is different.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOu3F8Na3s
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rbPX03qhu
Vlad: “With Tornado here, not to mention the Blizzard group, a villain couldn’t have done this.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97l2LsNNQr
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI7uEoyXt7
Aizawa: “So, we have no idea what happened.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUhSHevzhK
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKWdiAJ2Yn
Recovery Girl: “No, and I have no idea why the boy isn’t awake. Maybe the process needs to finish.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK4Gakn6MA
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy87olcv7O
Vlad: “And what then? What is he becoming?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MC4ehdXjj

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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPBhqyaK0u
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nLCDHO3Ll
In particular, he found Mei Hatsume and her inventions to be interesting. That was a mind worth molding.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxzLHTM5xD
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHLmODIHRA
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyu6ErJNuh
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY0N54sluq
Apotheosis: “Of course he can do that.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxST4K2sFU
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7T1fCDfQ3
Azrael: “How comes the psychic disruptor?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDJeO9pQUx
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTopHUmINp
Apotheosis: “… Along. Don’t rush perfection.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMRwtm1aBJ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXkEpjWZkg
Tomura: “We don’t need perfection, strategist! We just need it to be able to take a hit.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk10GLjVPB
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEWMlp7koK
Azrael: “Or be portable.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCIgNAUJwr
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVPD32hKN8
Apotheosis: “Yeah, yeah. Where would you two be without me? I’ll get right on it.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gzIfbJFGh
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rQ40nVnzz

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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlbmc7sFuP
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5ZxPVWL4d
Tomura: “What? Is it broken?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajIf2UW7Uq

Azrael: “Unlikely, unless… ”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtrMJua4e2
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTGK1yi5Yw
Apotheosis: “Don’t look at me. I never touched it.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h3KjJVQdJ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliGHFUfPWz
Just then, a voice came through. It sounded like someone on the verge of a panic attack.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaxUQi3eEA
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv0NiAjtDf
???: “You must kill that boy.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM3lciiQSq
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb8JAcv3WX
After a moment, they recognized the voice. Even Kurogiri stopped to look at the screen with confusion.

Azrael: “Gyoro Gyoro? What is wrong?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAvXCg2JoD
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYoaqWPefb
Gyoro: “You must kill that boy.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf8wa5G4sS
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa82hX2WyJ
Apotheosis: “Yes, we know. It is on the to-do list.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl73WZWDdrw
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G0K4KYwT9
Gyoro: “No, it will be your top priority from now on.”

Tomura narrows his eyes at the TV and lets out a low growl.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yp2ENoBdl
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyi3Igh9rZ
Tomura: “You are not sensei. You don’t get to order us around.”

Gyoro: “Fool! This is more important than… ”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxk4fr3mad
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk1rU9xVtI
The quirk beast took a breath before continuing.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9fTr17ckP
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUHCJPEAPf
Gyoro: “Forgive me, I will inform All For One about this soon. I just didn’t think it was… true.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsZKaEDzu7
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7T2Vk81wb
Apotheosis: “What?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV5qO4Geml
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7fN2Q3o3m
Gyoro: “One of my… creations had the ability to see the future.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj59wq6F5j
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiP3lvtshf
Apotheosis: “Bull.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXqf7dKIeP
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhlRh9MFx8
Gyoro: “Believe what you will. But those visions nearly drove her mad. And almost every single one of them revolved around… that boy.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfJWUpQinI
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J5KnUlPJm
Tomura: “Him? That kid?!”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpuKf0JfhV
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tC8sStwAa
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.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2vgBeOB5h
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZReeYU07Ed
Apotheosis: “That’s some… biblical stuff.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW7B9Xwxr6
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8katt2Eko
Kurogiri: “Are you sure about this?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OUeyZKXo1
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG2II20BvZ
Gyoro: “Yes. That’s why he must die. Make sure to kill the child he fought as well. To be safe.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aqOqkyp6i
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFEvksfPvj
Apotheosis: “Well, well, well, in this context, aren’t we the good guys?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvps0C7HqM9
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfEA9dgMD5
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3KKQRbm1R
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR4eTts5nE
But one of them does take this seriously.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIsauUlcuT
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8wHTvZur2
Azrael: “I’ll do it.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDY2txzTJc
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvOZCBO2V6
They all look at the very serious looking Azrael.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKdmwdaoVq
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNurEMc7W4M
Apotheosis: “What? You know he’s mine. It should be me who kills him.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJBFXRl7sr
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkfz92P8Jx
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?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiarlJk8Jk
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmrM9Ml1EE
Tomura: “… Do what you want. I don’t believe Gyoro, but this will mean we will have one less annoying hero to worry about.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV7FDXv4om
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uKKgZmAQc
Apotheosis: “Seriously! Just because some quirk beast freak spouts some nonsense, you’ll take my vengeance!?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MTFxk6G1W
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxcQBuJUgh
Azrael: “You’ll still get to do what you want with Blizzard and Tornado. Leave the boy to me, Theo. Trust me.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuCEaoMwuW
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR1ueP84EH
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQoGNhSWnc
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XapSvejxw
Apotheosis: “You better make him suffer and deliver his broken body to Tatsumaki.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebNpjFPHIn
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIzXh4s8JW
Azrael: “Don’t worry, I’ll even record it if possible.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc5No6JNWa
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wUKAKJV2R
Apotheosis: “Good.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFOYcH9mGB
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl890Vgq5IC
Gyoro: “So he’ll die?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D9vkSTrp6
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9awZbLVkZz
Tomura: “Yeah, he’s as good as gone.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStZoHE3KK0
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV9KSTPDse
Gyoro: “… Good. I… my creation can rest easy. I’m sorry for using up your time.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IkaL7NNXc
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Ohdtrmly
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVfIfTZlDW
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CuQ0DhVhx
Azrael: ‘Before he dies, I need to know… why him? All Might…’
