As a result of the attack, the world came to truly know the League of Villains.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABso0H8VGv
Out of the 30 students present, 11 were kidnapped.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHooK7lGHUh
Five from Class 1-A and six from Class 1-B.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv5JSvM8RY
Out of the six pro heroes present, two were kidnapped, three were injured, and one was murdered.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHOTjLMnk2
Not a single villain was captured, while two quirk beasts were slain.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzCmErueT5
All of this was told to the news by one of the students who single-handedly saved those still with us.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabODgG0uVI
A student.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK5I7Y8HH5
Not a pro hero.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f4Nfim6bg
That fact alone caused things to spiral.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbrUNGCX9Y
“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-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe9MKljDfe
Before the new anchor could go on, the TV was crushed by a green energy field.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBHBAze0lz
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9Bpwh7LLm
A death not covered by the media.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT2rWfDclR
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHZLBUGVVr
How would that make the higher-ups look? So they silenced it and made it look like Aizawa was captured as well.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7KxV0Jnnr
Therefore, there was no funeral, not a public one anyway. This left the teachers, alongside Izuku’s sisters, to pick up the pieces.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwDPCMzz2X
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes3S1RkQpj
So they sit, contemplate, and boil in their failure. The one with the heaviest guilt, though, wasn’t the sisters; it was All Might.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ083PS3Ac4X
Fists clenched hard enough to bleed and head hung low, he thinks back to the past.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsShezbm5iw
All Might: ‘If only I didn’t push him away… ’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MneSvtFB8
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pn9f6fmV9
All Might: ‘If I only helped him then… ’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKLm77Q8JC
Tatsumaki: “We’re weak.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAd5nykznT
The teachers turn to the strangely calm Tatsumaki. In some ways, that was even more terrifying.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoDxhq604p
Midnight: “What?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVxjcnYb1O
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6mtxTayCH
Nezu: “What would you suggest?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4FKngmMfc
Tatsumaki: “We go to war. We train for it, defend like we are in one, and retaliate without mercy.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zt5dDuKWP
Midnight: “That’s unreasonable. You can’t-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtflDcyANDz
Tatsumaki: “Why not?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgnRBiIgK0
Said with an eeriness and delivered with a stare that shut down any more words from Midnight.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzB1Xcu4ii
Tatsumaki: “Until this is resolved by me or All Might, that is what is required.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJRTo52SeR
Snipe: “So we’re soldiers now?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0WFI2Aceb
Tatsumaki: “In a way, that’s what we always were.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69r12hCHSh
Snipe: “… And here I thought I put that behind me.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwiMkpM1vk
Nezu: “Be that as it may, we still can’t do anything at the moment.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqUnydaWGs
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?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzad3lxRo8p
Nezu: “What are you suggesting?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Dl6KjsL9
Tatsumaki: “A traitor.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EPe2oCRs4
The word makes them stiffen. A traitor? Among the pros?
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7haCORLKXb
Tatsumaki: “Only the teachers and pros involved knew the location.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC8aw5kg8O
Midnight: “Tornado, stop.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EIgKdRRhM
Tatsumaki: “No. If I can’t be out there, then I will do something here.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK3VQQhqyN
Snipe: “And how do you suppose we do that?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVJMazHs2h
Tatsumaki: “Easy, Fubuki!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJePdxEU19
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrdIY08FqI
Snipe: “What is this?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gBBwv1CEF
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X1m6RsDzu
Midnight: “That is a severe breach of privacy.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg10ooziZEC
Tatsumaki: “Not if you have something to hide. I did say we are at war; I wasn’t bluffing.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx8Mww4CAt
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…
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsMHLWiSQM
Fubuki: ‘As long as it doesn’t affect our family… maybe… we need that old Tatsumaki back. At least until this is over.’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrdf3tiZDK
Not like Tatsu needs to be so overprotective when her siblings are growing in power steadily.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0b4EHiMn5
Nezu: “If it will make you feel better, I consent.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZRFMi5a39
Tatsumaki: “Good.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lgPSW0Gdq
All Might would have also consented; that way he would be forced to confront his past sins. But before he could, his phone rang.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyxCZxnBi4
All Might: “Sorry, sorry, I have to take this call.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodQerRDIQu
Tatsumaki: “Fine, we’ll do you last. Not like I suspect you anyway.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44EYG7hwwO
All Might: “Thank you.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5JQtrAu9B
Stepping out of that tension sauna, All Might sighs.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oNzXE1WRq
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… ’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2Nl0OND0U
Taking a breath, he answers the call to escape the darkness of his own mind.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNMWVES4RC
All Might: “What is it, Tsukauchi?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie8yqrgVbp
Tsukauchi: “I have good news; we may have found the League of Villains’ whereabouts!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwZqOAw4bs
The old hero’s eyes shoot up; energy fills his lungs as his body unconsciously prepares for battle.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscFtouKO1k
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3oQ9QVKDV
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhxVOA8QjA
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIPpOpTHDX
For the first time since this all started, All Might smiles.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXmBwe0RII
All Might: “I’ve got some spectacular friends, thank you.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh00b2hhSJY
As he says this, his body grows into his muscle form, ready to take the fight to the enemy.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUasj7OLxIH
All Might: “When I find those villains, this is what I’ll say to them: I came here for payback. For Aizawa.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZQvh85QFW
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvhb9CKotI
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHGVVCakiC
No matter how much she pleaded, he could not stay home with his mother. Neither could Kiri; she followed him as she always does.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYgofs4Nov
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifVrCPs6LY
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeZCXYIfyR
It was clear he was the father of one of the kidnapped students. But despite this, the man held out his hand.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxzZnLu128
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNiUPNqC9j
Izuku: “B-But I didn’t save-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQb7glbn7P
Minamoto: “I know… but I’m sure they would all be gone if not for you. So, thank you.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsaUGyHZPL
The boy looked at the offered hand and sighed. It would be better to not reject the man. So he shakes his hand.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfwbqex2Oc
Izuku: “I promise, I will get Akashi back.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx21TUTgvkN
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOqkTBNBqn
Kiri: “Adopted?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8wXNMj3LV
Switching the handshake to Kiri, Minamoto continued.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JfbC6m03m
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPABkWWKviU
After giving his handshake, the man took a moment before asking for something irresponsible.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcswQKe7pEN
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwrYoq7Gtm
The boy further hardens himself and declares the future.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqoV7y6KIm
Izuku: “As long as I’m alive, nothing will happen to them or anyone else.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGc3nMxNEw
Sighing in relief, the man smiles.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAe384Dm1k
Minamoto: “You know, I believe you.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs1Dcasqh1
Minamoto gave a small bow and made his way outside. But not before saying something that stirred something in Izuku.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90QXBsP6h7
Minamoto: “You remind me a lot of All Might. You really make it seem like it will all be okay.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApNIQQAojn
The boy turns around too late; the man is gone, but the words linger.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7EM9lpS55
Izuku: ‘Me? Like All Might?’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq49sdZOiba
He looks at his palm before balling it into a fist.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90hz9pkNcq
Izuku: ‘All the more reason why I can’t fail.’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZpMbW3zyb
A soft hand covers his, easing the growing tension.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcPIdWdFrn
Izuku: “Kiri?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXl2SdCIwu
Kiri: “Not alone. Save them together.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7APzeHzINZ
Izuku: “… Right. I’m not alone in this.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeonMFwsow
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4Cma315wG
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1bfsmP73f
Kiri: “Mama Cat… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAynqY1SgAH
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vvshmeyFz
The only reason she was awake was because Kota clearly held back. A fact that was possible due to Mandalay being caught off-guard.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIKurcWbcI
Mandalay: “Kiri… Midoriya… what are you doing here?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZYjESO3C2
Izuku: “I thought you should hear what we plan to do. Maybe you’d want to join.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhS1zGYOU8
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…
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBLoFSttLg
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcC0AzIFGB
Sabrina: “Good.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk2dOsoZHj
The two turn to the next to show up, the psychic girls. They… look awful. Clearly, they didn’t take the news well.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCwjRelnlJ
Sabrina: “When do we leave, and how do we find them?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDod3DZ3wJ
Izuku: “First, we wait for everyone. I didn’t just contact you three.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTbGcBRIFB
Shiho: “The longer we take-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKhCOVUums
Izuku: “I know. But rushing won’t help us. Besides, everyone deserves a chance to help.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04T0471dxq
Aoi: “But the larger the group-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQCyAOMynG
Bakugo: “So what!?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaeDJPmc4z
At last, the rest of the students that had the strength to wake up quickly arrived.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfKzk6IddM
Following behind Bakugo were Tokoyami, Tsuyu, Ida, and Todoroki.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPIeRfUhNV
Bakugo: “You think you can just leave us behind after what happened?! No way! I’m going to kill that scarred bastard myself!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2zXPlyjVr
Izuku: ‘You might get your chance.’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskQdo1rSdu
Ida: “So it’s true… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn21IdyqbfO
Taking a stand in front of the unreadable Izuku, Ida let his objections become known.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO7JEQijgH
Ida: “You want to save everyone? After barely getting out of there alive.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhmn8h3Ony
Izuku: “Yes.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsFyRanqQQ
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!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH8EswoGyw
He pleads with her, but she can only shake her head.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3p9iEiuqq
Mandalay: “Ida… you were there… you saw how… we failed. The only reason why we weren’t also captured was because of Midoriya.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPuBKrUzdD
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-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jHnIYnF9c
Bakugo: “So what do you suggest, Four Eyes!? Sit around and do nothing!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aP1tpAiY2
Ida: “No, trust in the pros! They’ll figure something out!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz8K9hyh7p
Todoroki: “Calm down, both of you. We’re in a hospital.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3pSor4eM8
The two take a step back and look away from each other before they come to blows.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OCGcSjRkd
Todoroki: “None of this matters if we can’t track them. Midoriya, do you have a plan?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qQ7m5h4py
They look to see the boy nod.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uvazl2pOY
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSHNjwBzP5
Tokoyami: “Then-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlnhSg8t5R
Izuku: “Yes, I sensed her not long after everyone checked into the hospital. And she only moved once, from what I can tell.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADT7M23hzC
Sabrina: “Then let’s not waste time.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIbEsE4knh
Ida: “Stop messing around! You’re all getting carried away!!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4jCeR4Wa3
Aoi: “What’s your problem! In case you didn’t get it, your friends were kidnapped! Your teacher was killed! Don’t you care!?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09Z4sO9MkX
Eyes bloodshot, hands red with tension, Ida looked at the girl with barely contained grief and anger.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhG2e9mZ7C
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… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMCembnIpv
Aoi’s eyes soften along with everyone else present. First his brother, then the leg, now this? How much more must the boy lose?
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7Xq3Gc1TX
Izuku: “You won’t lose anyone else, Ida.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF1pnk9i0S
Ida: “How can you be sure?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07f8GbTFzH
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?
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp3cPavCNq
The silence was enough of an answer. Ida turns to leave, but not before leaving them with this.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu71A1CeQR
Ida: “Please, Midoriya, don’t put yourself and others at unnecessary risk.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjNyb9y3iv
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2vAC5hJc0
Tsuyu: “I agree with Ida.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZKlBZikoO
Tokoyami: “Tsuyu… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pXc8JDOyP
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-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTFWaStg4n
Izuku: “Then leave.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qMpvOBEN8
Suddenly, that feeling came back, and Tsuyu felt like she was in front of a predator. One whose eyes glow with an emerald fury.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1vd0FWJTL
Izuku: “I don’t care what you think or what we decide to do; we are not villains. Do you understand?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡualpJMi4NL
Tokoyami: “Midoriya, that’s enough.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWbWa7F50P
Noticing that he is starting to scare her, the boy reigned in his power.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACX8UvA5iW
Izuku: “I-I’m sorry. I-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYzNioz6yu
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBI2k8N7ix
Tsuyu: “P-Please… don’t go. We’ve lost enough.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1zqZDyZdP
And with that, the room was fully depressed. Enough was enough.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9xPUSfiBe
Izuku: “… Fine, we won’t go.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmRMTk7j29
Bakugo: “Hah!?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp0Zamcb9o
Kiri: “Izu… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtXCOsTjAe
Izuku: “She’s right. We shouldn’t risk anything else.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxPIRb79sd
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N5A4JVlOE
Izuku: ‘There’s no risk if I go alone. I should be the only one that-’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQqyW9bZFd
Sabrina: “We expected as much.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwHhDvQDoE
Out of the darkness of the night emerged the psychic girls along with Bakugo, Todoroki, and Mandalay.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi8ChLvF5F
But it was more than them; Izuku could also sense Kiri on the rooftop in her Valkyrie form.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYLu0maS2S
Izuku: “What are you doing here!?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBHVFBMSgO
Mandalay: “They suspected you would try to do it all yourself. And I did say I wanted to try and reach Kota.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFBrAYVO96
Aoi: “There’s no way you’re leaving us behind.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEGCLvqM0m
Bakugo: “I still have to pay those bastards back for what they did! You’re not stopping me, Deku!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuGDGeWdyi
Izuku: “But-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w6bWn2wSS
The words die on his lips when he sees their determination.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTUf3rXfKN
Izuku: ‘Nothing I say will change their minds will it? Just like me… I’ll just have to protect them then. At all costs.’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBkdsvzsaE
Izuku: “Fine.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AxzTOzeQU
Izuku: “Kiri, I can sense you too. You can come too. Please, be careful.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEinLtoHZYm
Kiri: “Nh. Will save Udders. Umbra keeps Treetop company while gone.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP50rdk3xoB
Izuku: “Understood.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGWnaLdwJQ
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zjsg9E3RP
Izuku: “… Thank you.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJWDIc1Xhi
Shiho: “So, can we go now?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3ztmQgIxk
Not quite, since out of the hospital came a still smoldering Ida.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpdLWetFNS
Ida: “So you’re going?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtTfKFbYT5
Izuku: “Yes.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP3V1x5GGr
Ida: “Why… of all people… why you two… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzVOV9x8xb
He says while looking at Izuku and Todoroki.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrxrbmP0Bm
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!?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktd3talLbY
Izuku: “This isn’t the same.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeoHer216J
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!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkd7WBHRk8
Bakugo: “And what of it!?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5ZDmAziGe
Ida: “You’ll end up just like me if you go with that kind of rashness!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpTzzM4wLW
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS5GV1E7MK
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN72Hz6TekN
Izuku: ‘Save first, defeat later. Right… anything else would dishonor Aizawa’s memory and his teachings. We’re heroes, not villains.’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRm1wxJDJA
Izuku: “You’re right, Ida, I do want vengeance.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRaUxiSpGP
Mandalay: “Midoriya?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02e5ENvdzp
Ida: “Then-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvXtaJDKTg
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcHXE5mDHm
Izuku: ‘Unless I have to.’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6awPFeDzU
Aoi: “So no combat, huh?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgy4Xb79K8
Todoroki: “We don’t need to confront them head-on to save our friends.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNJwWi6892
Shiho: “And that way, we won’t break any rules.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fEXIg3dU7
Mandalay: “Exactly! So, Ida, knowing that, will you join us?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62SINtTesu
Ida: “… What about Bakugo?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF2MKhUon3
The group looks at the growling boy, who eventually conceded, shockingly.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqWj8HxvDl
Bakugo: “Fine! Let’s just go!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGZSGddfau
Sabrina: “Agreed.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qo7s6jKFo
Ida: “… Alright. I’ll join you. To help with making sure none of you do anything to jeopardize the mission!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1sxS2WkEB
Izuku: “Haha, alright. Follow me, everyone, stay close.”

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