Chapter 20.

Terror at Hosu.

Mirko's agency.

Momo was changing into her hero costume, she has learned a lot with Mirko, she's not longer that insecure girl she was after losing against Tokoyami in the sport festival. Mirko made her see that losing a fight is not to get depressed, there will be another occasion. In addition to helping her not to depend solely on her quirk, since she helped her train in hand-to-hand combat. Her trainings were brutal and hard, but they gave incredible results. Now she can fight without the need to depend on her creation, in addition to being able to create things more quickly.

She remembered how Mirko helped her to overcome her insecurity, in her… unique way.

Flashback.

Momo had arrived at Mirko's agency. Once she met her, she stared at her for a few seconds.

- "So, you are the UA student. Creati if I remember correctly."-

- "Yes. My name is Momo Yaoyorozu, I'm the Everything Hero: Creati. I'll on your care."-

- "Good. I saw your fight in the sports festival. That was pathetic, but don't worry, with my help you will be kicking butts in no time. Now put your costume on and follow me, your training starts right now."-

After Momo put on her suit, she would meet Mirko in a training room, and they would start training. The "training" can be resumed as a match between the two, however Momo could not use her quirk in combat. This wouldn't last long as Mirko easily defeated Momo.

Momo, being on the ground and very tired, would hardly get up. – "This is impossible."- She muttered.

- "Come on. Get up, this is not over yet."- Said Mirko.

- "What? This is impossible for me. At least let me use my quirk. I can't fight without it."-

- "So, that's it. You give up?"-

- "You don't understand, I can't fight without my quirk."-

- "So, if you are facing someone like Eraserhead, you just seat and wait for someone else to do something?"-

- "N-no. It's not like that, is just… I'm just weak in close combat without my quirk… You saw it in the sports festival."-

- "I see… What a waste of time. In this case we are done. Go see if you can find another hero for your internship. I don't like people like you."-

- "What? People like me?"-

- "That's right, people who give up if situations are not like they want. I bet you entered the UA solely for your looks."-

- "I earned my place in the UA!"-

- "I doubt it, if the only thing you do is cry if you can't do things the way you want."-

Mirko was about to leave, however, something made her turn around, when she turned around, she received a punch in the face from Momo.

- "How dare you! I earned my place in the UA. I'm going to become a great hero. I do not care what I have to face, I will move forward and fulfill my dream. No matter what you say."-

Momo was angry, however she got even more confused when she saw Mirko start laughing.

- "Now we are talking! Now we can continue."-

- "What do you mean?"-

- "You see, your problem is not being weak, first, you depend a lot on your quirk. Second, and more importantly, you have self-esteem problems, you think that you are less than others."-

- "So, everything you said about me ...?"-

- "I lied. I said all that to see if you really had the spirit to stand up to me. As we have seen, you have it, you just need to believe in yourself. When you hit me, I saw your confidence in your eyes, that everything you told me was true. You just needed a boost. Sorry if my methods are somewhat rude, but you see how effective they are."-

Momo was surprised, it was true, she stared at Mirko.

- "Very well. Time to start your training, this time for real. I will help you not to depend solely on your quirk, I will help you to give you more confidence in yourself and of course, I will help you improve your quirk. Are you ready?"-

Momo's expression changed to one of confidence. – "Yes! I'm ready ma'am."-

- "Good. Now follow me. I'll show you around."-

…

Flashback end.

Momo finished changing into her costume when she saw her phone.

- "Should I bring it with me? No, I need to focus on my internship. No distractions."-

She then meets Mirko in the entrance of the agency.

- "You are here. Good."-

- "What are we doing today?"-

- "Well, if you keep sparring with me, you will get used to it. Is time you get some real experience."-

- "So, we are going to patrol?"-

- "Yes, but not here. We are going to Hosu! Lately there has been an increase in crime there. Come on. We are taking the train."-

After this conversation, they headed to the train station.

…

Best Jeanist's agency.

- "I'm going to be honest with you. I thought you would be more disagreeable. You are arrogant and somewhat rude. But I can see a certain amount of respect for others in you. Maybe your fight in the finals showed you that strength isn't everything. I don't know."- Said Best Jeanist to Bakugo.

- "So, is that why you sent me an offer? To lecture me"-

- "Partly yes. On the other hand, I saw that you have talent, you are intelligent, that Explosive Skin of yours is the proof. I'm going to set you on the right path, help you use your virtues instead of your flaws."-

- "Whatever."-

…

Sir Nighteye's agency

Yamikumo and Mirio finished another patrol, nothing important happened. Right now, Yamikumo was checking his phone, he sent some messages to Iida but the later didn't answered.

- "I see you are worried for your friend."-

Yamikumo turned to see Sir Nighteye staring at him. – "I… Yes. Iida… his brother, Ingenium, was attacked by Stain, and I'm worried he would do something stupid."-

- "I see. I knew it. Come with me. I might be able to help."-

Yamikumo followed Sir to his office.

- "I will be direct with you. What you fear will come true."-

- "How do you know that?"-

- "I can see the future, remember?"-

- "Yes, but you can only see the future of someone in front of you."- At that moment, Yamikumo realized that Sir had his quirk activated and was looking at him. – "Wait… That means I'll be there."-

- "Yes. I arranged a cooperative internship with another hero. Luckily that hero was interested in you and better yet, he's going to Hosu. Endeavor is waiting for you in his agency with his intern. Shoto Todoroki, your classmate, right?"-

- "Yes. That means that Todoroki is also part of this."-

- "Correct. Now go. You will know what to do."-

- "Thank you Sir."- He was about to leave but Sir stopped him.

- "Wait. Take these with you."- He gave him some papers.

- "It's a license to use my quirk in an emergency."-

- "You will need it."-

- "Thanks, but there is more than one."-

- "You will know what to do with them. Now go."-

- "Yes."- Said Yamikumo before leaving the agency.

…

A few hours later.

Endeavor's Agency.

- "What are we waiting for?"- Asked Shoto to his father.

- "Don't be impatient Shoto. I managed to get a hero to lend me his intern. One of your classmates will be working with us for a couple of days."-

Shoto raised an eyebrow at this. Who would be so crazy to want to train with his father? Soon, his question was answered when he saw Yamikumo entering the room.

- "Atanagi?"-

- "Yamikumo Atanagi, better yet, Pyrokinesis hero: Fireheart, Welcome to my agency. I am pleased that Nighteye accepted my proposal."-

- "Thank you. This will be an interesting experience. And please, just Fireheart is fine."- Said Yamikumo.

- "I like you. Come on Shoto, Fireheart, it's time to fight some villains."-

As they head to Hosu, Shoto approaches Yamikumo. – "What are you doing here Atanagi?"-

- "Normally I wouldn't say anything. But since you will be part of everything ... Something is about to happen. Something bad. That's why I'm here."-

- "How do you know that? And what's gonna happen?"-

- "Sir Nighteye, the hero I'm interning with, his quirk can see a little of the future. I can't tell you what will happen, if I tell you what happens, it may not happen."-

- "I see. What do we have to do?"-

- "Nothing for the moment. Let's keep the profile low and follow Endeavor, when the moment comes, we'll know what to do."-

- "Very well."-

…

Gran Torino's House.

Izumi fell to the floor. She was sparing with Gran Torino… again, and she was being beated… again.

- "I was so close…"- She said.

- "You're getting better kid. Although you still use the same tactics as always."-

- "It's not that, I just need to keep practicing. Let's continue!"-

- "No. It's time to level up. We are going to fight some villains. Let's go to Shibuya."-

- "W-What? Shibuya? Will we go by train?"-

- "Yes."-

- "That means we will pass through Hosu. Iida-kun worries me a little. I think I'll call you when I pass by."-

…

Hosu City.

Atop a water tower, Stain emerged from a portal.

- "Hosu, it seems more prosperous than I imagined."- Said Shigaraki, who also emerged from the portal.

- "I must purify this city. And I still need more sacrifices to achieve it."- Said Stain.

- "You irritate me more and more."-

- "Until the world realizes the mistake it has made, I will keep popping up to correct it."- Said Stain while jumping away, living Shigaraki and Kurogiri in the tower.

- "We are definitely not compatible at all. That guy irritates me. Kurogiri! Transport the Nomu."- Hearing this, Kurogiri began to transport several Nomu. - "Let's see who destroys more things. I will shatter your convictions and your honor, Hero Killer."-

…

Hosu City.

Train.

Izumi was passing by Hosu, she was checking her phone however the train stopped suddenly. Suddenly, a hero went through the wall of the train and crashed inside. Once his attacker also entered the train, it was revealed that it was a Nomu.

- "Nomu?!"-

- "Kid. Stay in the train!"- Gran Torino said while pushing the Nomu away from the train. Izumi watched through the hole and saw Hosu on fire.

- "What's going on? Why is everything on fire?"-

Hosu City.

Dark Alley.

Stain had the Native hero against the wall. However, he was somewhat angry at the fuss Shigaraki was making.

- "What a fuss. What does that idiot think? I'll take care of that later. For now, I will finish what I have to do."- He said while pulling his Katana. He was about to kill Native but then he felt a presence behind him. He used his katana to block the attack and make his aggressor fall to the floor.

The aggressor turned out to be Iida who had lost his helmet after receiving Stain's attack.

- "You're just a kid in a hero suit. Who are you?"-

- "Blood-colored bandages. Equipped with knives everywhere. Without a doubt, you are Stain, The Hero Killer! I've been looking for you. But I did not imagine that I would find you so soon!"-

- "In your eyes the flame of revenge burns. You better watch your words, being a brat won't save you from becoming my prey."- Said Stain while pointing his Katana towards Iida.

- "Your prey? Are you telling me that you don't consider attacking me? You better listen to me criminal! I am the brother of one of the heroes you attacked."- Said Iida while standing up. – "The brother of one of the greatest and most notable heroes! So, I'll be the one to finish you off! Engrave my name for the rest of your life! INGENIUM!"-

- "I see ... Then die!"- Iida tried to hit Stain with one of his kicks. However, Stain avoided the attack, using one of his boots, which had spikes in them, managed to wound Iida's right arm and then slammed it on the ground. – "So, Ingenium's brother? Let that garbage live to spread the rumors and I will do that with you."- After these words Stain stabbed his Katana into Iida's left shoulder. – "You are just as weak as your brother"-

- "Be quiet! My brother has a fractured spine and half of his body is immobilized! He could no longer be a hero. There was no reason for you to hurt him! I'll kill you!"-

- "You should have saved him first."- Stain said while pointing at Native. – "You shouldn't have thought of yourself. But in helping others. Letting yourself be consumed by hatred only made you selfish. Without a doubt, you are far from being a hero. Now, die."- Stain said while licking his Katana with Iida's blood. Suddenly Iida couldn't move. – "You will be one more offering to correct this society."-

He was about to kill Iida but a punch in his face made his back down. The attacker turned out to be Izumi.

- "I came to save you, Iida-kun!"- She said.

Stain looked at Izumi and was surprised for a moment. –"Kid? No. Is not him but… she has a resemblance to him."-

- "Just as I read. Most of the hero killer's victims were found in hidden alleys in sparsely populated neighborhoods. It was only necessary to search where there are not many heroes to find you."- Izumi said. – "Iida-kun, can you get up? We need to get out of here, heroes need help."-

- "No. I can't move my body since he cut me. Maybe because of his quirk. Still, that doesn't matter, don't interfere in this Midoriya. You have nothing to do with this."-

- "So, they are friends, huh? Did you come to help him? I must inform you that I intend to kill him and you too if you get in the way. So, what will you do?"- Interrupted Stain.

- "I must have brought a professional with me. But that doesn't matter anymore, I must protect Iida and Native until reinforcements arrive."- Izumi thought as she secretly sent her location to all her contacts.

- "Midoriya-san. Get out of here! This has nothing to do with you!"- Screamed Iida.

- "Even if you tell me that. A hero cannot listen to those words! The essence of a hero lies in getting where they don't call him!"- Izumi said while preparing to fight. Unknowingly, her words earned her a smile from Stain.

Both charged against the other, Stain was preparing a cut, however, Izumi expected this. – "Now. One for All Full Cowl 25%"- Using his speed, Izumi managed to pass under Stain's legs, dodge another attack from his Katana by jumping and ... – "Detroit Smash!"- hit him again. After hitting Stain, Izumi fell back to a safe distance. However, Stain licks his Katana and Izumi would be paralyzed. – "My body! He cut me?"- Yet she would realize something. – "Wait… It's not the cut, it's the blood!"-

- "Your power is not enough. I noticed that you were looking to get out of my field of vision and deal a blow at me. Good plan, but still not enough against me. There are many talkers who deserve to die. But you ... it's worth letting you live."- Stain said as he approached Iida. – "But not these guys."- He was about to kill Iida but then, he saw something towards him. Quickly, Stain blocks the object and when it falls to the ground, it turns out to be a Katana, which is nailed to the ground. Seeing the Katana, Satin realized who had arrived.

Next to the Katana, and taking it out of the ground, Yamikumo lands. – "Just in time."-

- "Atanagi-kun. What is he doing here?"- Thought Izumi.

- "You… What are you doing here?"- Asked Stain.

- "Saving my stupid friend from you."- Yamikumo said. – "Izumi is here too… It seems that I have to act as a protective brother."- - "Midoriya… Next time, try to send clearer messages. Luckily we managed to understand it quickly."-

- "We?"-

Without warning, a flare and a blast of ice were launched towards Stain, the latter succeeding in avoiding the attack. The attacker turned out to be Todoroki.

- "Damn it, they don't stop coming."- Thought Stain.

Todoroki stood next to Yamikumo. – "Are you okay?"- He asked to Midoriya and Iida.

- "Yes. We are paralyzed. Is because of his quirk."- Izumi said.

- "Bloodcurdle. That's his quirk. If he drinks your blood, he will paralyze you. The limit is according to blood types."-

- "Blood Types? In that case my blood type is B"- Said Native.

- "Mine's A."- Said Iida.

- "And mine's O"- Said Izumi.

- "In that case. Midoriya, you will be the first to move. Iida, you will be next, Native ... you will take a little longer."- Said Yamikumo.

- "In that case, we have to keep them safe."- Todoroki said as he used his ice to move the paralyzed to safety. – "What do we do now?"-

- "I will face him, of the two of us, I am the best in melee combat. You cover my back, if you see that he is about to cut, I will use your fire to keep him away from me. Don't worry about me, you attack, I'm immune to fire."- Without waiting for an answer, Yamikumo charged against Stain, Katana in hand, Stain did the same.

The Katanas collided; both were pushing against each other. Face to face. – "I'm surprised you are here kid. It's been a while."- Said Stain.

- "Despite being enemies, I'm glad to see you again sensei."- Answered Yamikumo, luckily no one could listen to their conversation.

- "I'm dying to see how much you've improved kid. Do not disappoint me."- After this, Stain with a knee would make Yamikumo release his Katana, and then try to kick him, which would be dodged by Yamikumo when he fell on his back. However, Stain spun in midair and attempted to attack Yamikumo with a knife.

Before the knife hit, Yamikumo would catch the weapon with his two hands, thanks to his suit with added protection he didn't cut his hands. Fighting back with a kick, Yamikumo managed to push Stain back, at the same time keeping the knife.

Getting back to his feet, Yamikumo holds the knife in his Left hand, and using his telekinesis he retrieves his Katana and grabs it with his right hand. Then the fight continues, both with a Katana and a knife in hand, the exchange of attacks continues, each blocking each attack it receives and trying to counter with its own but being blocked.

In one of these exchanges, Stain manages to break Yamikumo's defense, without giving him time to react, he would attack him trying to cut him, however, a flare hits Yamikumo, making Stain retreat. Surprised, Stain hunts down to see the culprit, which was Todoroki.

Yamikumo emerges from the flames without any damage and manages to kick Stain in the face which makes him go back.

- "Why? Go away. I inherited my brother's name. I am the one who must end this monster."- Said Iida.

- "The Ingenium I know never had that expression on their face. I know you're going through a lot but letting yourself be blinded by revenge is not the solution." –

Yamikumo was watching the conversation when suddenly a slight pain in his left arm brought him back to reality. Stain took advantage of Yamikumo lowed his guard to cut him off. Yamikumo's groan of pain attracted everyone's attention.

- "How many times have I told you. Never let your guard down."- Stain said to then lick the knife, paralyzing Yamikumo. At that Shoto launches another blaze of fire, however Stain managed to dodge the attack and disappear from everyone's sight. Appearing right above Iida and preparing the blow to kill him.

- "He's so fast."- Thought Todoroki.

- "Damn it. I need to move!"- Thought Yamikumo while his nose started bleeding a little.

- "No, Iida-kun!"- Though Izumi at the moment she felt her body again.

- "Die."- Stain was about to kill Iida but a couple of fists hit him, one in the head and one in the face. They were Yamikumo and Izumi. The pair of blows made Stain back again, which, recovering quickly, managed to dodge another flare from Todoroki.

- "Atanagi-kun, can you move?" – Asked Izumi, surprised by how quick Yamikumo could move again.

- "No. Make no mistake, I'm still paralyzed. But that doesn't stop me from using my quirk. I am using my telekinesis to move my body, despite being paralyzed."- He said while turning on his Fire Soul state, Izumi stands next to him, Full Cowl activated, and Todoroki stands behind the duo. – "Todoroki, Midoriya. Let's go."-

- "That's new. I see you have improved kid. Even so, three against one, this is getting more and more complicated."-Though Stain.

- "Stop, I ..." – Iida tried to say.

- "If you want us to stop ... GET UP! Set your goal on what you want to become!"- Screamed Todoroki while Izumi and Yamikumo charged against Stain.

Stain was having a difficult time. There was no use cutting Yamikumo, he could move despite the paralysis, besides that his body is too hot to cut him. However, every time he tried to cut the girl, Yamikumo blocked the attack with his own Katana, leaving the girl free to hit Stain. And if that wasn't enough, the third boy's ranged attacks kept him from getting close to the other two for long.

In one of those attacks, he manages to hit Yamikumo in the face, leaving him stunned, placing himself at an angle where the other boy will not be able to attack him, he draws his Katana and tries to attack the girl. However, the cut would be interrupted by Iida, who, after getting rid of the paralysis, with a kick would destroy Stain's Katana. Izumi would take advantage of this to attack Stain and push him back.

- "Sorry guys. I got carried away by my fury and made a mistake, he is right, I am not fit to be a hero. However, I can still do the right thing. Let's go! Together we will be able to defeat him."- Said Iida.

- "Iida, Midoriya, behind me, now! Prepare yourselves."- Yamikumo said to dodge another attack from Stain and then hit him with a kick to the jaw and send him up. Taking advantage of that, Izumi and Iida prepared to attack.

- "If I only have my arm.../If I only have my leg..."- They both thought at the moment to punch/kick Stain. – "It's all I need to beat him!"-

- "Todoroki! Fire!"- Screamed Yamikumo. Then both boys fire one last blaze at Stain. When the flames died, Stain's body fell to the ground unconscious.

- "W-We did it."- That was the only thing that Izumi could say.

- "We have to capture him and get out of here."- Said Todoroki.

- "Let's take his weapons from him just in case."- Said Izumi.

…

- "Are you sure you're okay Atanagi-kun?"- Izumi asked to Yamikumo.

- "Yes, I can move again, and this time I didn't overdo it with the Fire Soul, don't worry."- Answered Yamikumo.

- "Sorry, I'm a professional and I couldn't do anything."- Said Native.

- "Don't worry, you couldn't do anything. Stain is quite difficult to face alone."- Said Yamikumo.

- "You! What are you doing here!"- An angry Gran Torino said.

- "This is the alley?"- Another hero said.

- "Endeavor told us to come here but ... wait, is that the Hero Killer? "- Another hero appeared. While the heroes were guessing what happened, Momo appeared among the heroes and was surprised to see four of her companions.

- "Guys? What are you doing here?"- She asked.

- "Yaoyorozu? Wait, if you are here… that means."- Yamikumo said.

- "YOU!"- Hearing that, Yamikumo's face changed to one of terror. In front of him appeared an angry Mirko. – "What are you doing here?"-

- "I'm also glad to see you Rumi."-

- "Shut up! Don't try to change the subject! You owe me a rematch!"-

- "I know but, I think this is not the right time for that."-

Seeing the situation, Mirko reluctantly turned around. – "Fine. You saved yourself this time. Next time you won't be so lucky."- After that she left to check the situation with the other heroes. Yamikumo sighed in relief.

- "Do you know Mirko?!"- Asked an excited Izumi.

- "I don't wanna talk about it."-

When the situation seemed to relax, a Nomu appeared out of nowhere and managed to grab Izumi and try to take her away. However, Stain manages to free himself, lick the Nomu's blood to paralyze it and then manage to kill it.

- "Hero Killer!"- Endeavor tried to attack him.

- "Todoroki, wait!"- Said Gran Torino. – "Don't do anything stupid."-

- "Endeavor…"- In that, a strong killer instinct could be felt, managing to paralyze everyone except Yamikumo, who had already felt this killer instinct before. However, he preferred to do nothing. – "A fake. It must be purged. Someone must be stained with blood. The word hero must be restored. COME HERE! Try it! The only one who can kill me will be All Might!"- Suddenly, all the killing instinct disappeared. Stain had fallen unconscious.

…

Next Morning.

Hosu Hospital.

- "Now that I think about it. We did something incredible."- Todoroki said. Along with him, in the same room, were Yamikumo and Iida, Iida was the only one in hospital clothes, Todoroki had not been seriously injured so he was already dressed in his normal clothes and Yamikumo did not care so he was already prepared to leave, much to the dislike of the nurses. Izumi was not with them, since being a girl they put her in another room. But she was also ready to go since she hadn't been seriously hurt either.

At that some people entered the room, Gran Torino, along with Izumi, Manual, and a police officer whom Yamikumo recognized.

- "I see you are all still here."- Gran Torino said. – "You have a visit."-

- "Good morning, I'm the Chief of Police, Kenji Tsuragamae. So, you are the ones who defeated the Hero Killer. Woof."- At that, the officer recognized Yamikumo. – "Atanagi? Are you also part of this?"-

- "To the bottom. Good to see you again officer."-

- "Likewise. I will be direct with you. While you all did a good deed, you did it in violation of the law."- Said the officer.

- "I'm going to stop you there."- Interrupted Yamikumo. – "Todoroki."- At the mention of his name, Todoroki took out a piece of paper from his pocket, as did Yamikumo and they showed it to the officer.

- "A permit to use your Quirk in an emergency?"-

- "Yes. Todoroki and I were in a cooperative internship, so the hero I'm interning with gave us this."-

Flashback.

Todoroki and Yamikumo's cell phones had rung. Checking they realized that it was Izumi who had sent their location.

- "Is this…?"- Asked Todoroki.

- "Yes. let's go."- Said Yamikumo.

- "Where are you going?"- Asked Endeavor.

- "Send some heroes in this location. There are people in danger."- Todoroki said and then left with Yamikumo. – "Our friends need us"-

- "Todoroki, take this."- Said Yamikumo while giving Todoroki a paper.

- "A permit to use my Quirk in an emergency?"-

- "You will need it. And since we are in a cooperative internship, the hero I'm interning with can also give you a permission to you too."-

- "I see… Let's go."-

Flashback end.

- "I also have these."- Said Yamikumo giving the officer two more permissions. – "The hero I am interned with contacted Gran Torino and Manual in order to give Midoriya and Iida permission to use their quirks in case of emergency. Right?"- He said blinking at Gran Torino and Manual.

- "Mirai… you genius." – Thought Gran Torino. – "Yes. He's telling the truth."

- "That's correct officer."- Said Manual.

- "I see… In this case, let me congratulate you and thank you for a job well done. Fireheart, Shoto, Deku and Ingenium good work."- Said the officer before leaving.

- "Is that true Gran Torino?"- Asked Izumi.

- "No. You are just lucky."-

…

The next day the news was immediate, highlighting the arrest of the Hero Killer, especially mentioning the four brave students who defeated him.

- "And the Nomu don't matter? It's all about the Hero Killer. And what's worse, that damn brat shows up again. I really want to kill him."- A furious Shigaraki said.

- *Calm down young Tomura. If you really want to kill him, I think I have the right thing to do. Remember I told you I had something planned. In that case...*- A sinister voice said as a door inside the bar opened.

A person who appeared to be 20 years old came out of the door. He was dressed in black pants and black combat boots, a gray T-shirt, and a black raincoat on top. The man is red-haired and wore a mask that covered almost his entire face, the only thing that could be seen was his blood-red left eye. However, the most notable thing was his right arm, which was completely replaced by a robotic arm that resembled a piece of armor.

- *Young Tomura, let me introduce you… to Alpha. *-

Chapter 21.

A new enemy and feelings.

- *I can't believe you defeated Stain! *- Uraraka said through video call. You see, all of Yamikumo's group of friends were talking on video call, so everyone could participate in the conversation.

- *Right, if I hadn't seen it on the news, I wouldn't believe it. It must have been terrifying. *- Said Kaminari.

- *It was. It's not something I want to repeat. At least not now. * - Answered Izumi.

- * When you sent us your location, I was very worried, Midori. I'm glad everything went well. *- Said Mina.

- *Me too. Why is it that whenever something like this happens, you are always a part of it Yami-kun? And what's worse, why do you always end up hurt? *- Asked Kinoko in a worried tone but also somewhat angry.

- "It's part of the job. A hero cannot expect to come out of any combat uninjured."- Answered Yamikumo. However, this answer only made Kinoko angrier.

- * This is my fault. If only I hadn't let my anger control me. This would not have happened. *- Said a regretful Iida.

- *It's okay Iida-kun. We already talked about this. Next time we know you won't make the same mistake again. *- Said Izumi.

- *I'm glad everyone is alright. Anyway, I have to go. It's time to train with Gunhead. Bye* - Uraraka said and then disconnected.

- *Yeah. Me too. See you. *- Kaminari said and then disconnected too. Doing the same, everyone disconnects.

Villains' hideout.

- "So, what is this?"- Asked Shigaraki while looking at Alpha.

- *His name is Alpha. It is made to follow your orders, Tomura Shigaraki. However, unlike the Nomu, he has his own conscience, but don't worry, he will always follow any order from you without question. *-

- "I am honored to finally meet you, Shigaraki-sama. I will be under your orders."- Alpha said as he knelt before Shigaraki.

At this, Shigaraki smiled. – "I already like him."-

- *If you want to test his effectiveness, I have a plan prepared. *-

- "Let's do it, Sensei. You, Alpha, prepare for your test. Let's see if you are good."- Said Shigaraki.

- "I will do whatever you order me to, Shigaraki-sama."-

…

Sir Nighteye agency.

- "You asked for me Sir?"- Asked Yamikumo entering Sir's office. Mirio was also there.

- "Yes. I have something for you two. I just discovered a drug distribution point. A very important one. We are going to stop them."-

- "You are also coming Sir?"- Asked Mirio.

- "Yes. But being something very important we will not be alone. Fat Gum and Ryukyu, along with their interns help us too."-

- "Nejire and Tamaki will be there too? Nice. You can finally meet the rest of the Big Three Atanagi-kun."- Said Mirio.

- "That will be interesting."- Said Yamikumo.

- "There is something else. There are rumors that the Villain League is being a part of this. You have ten minutes to change into your costumes. I'll wait for you in the exit."- Added Sir Nighteye.

After ten minutes, the trio departed to the reunion point and after a couple of hours they arrived, seeing the rest of the heroes and interns already there.

- "You are here. Good. So, he's the UA guy you mentioned. Isn't he a bit young to be involved in this?"- Asked Ryukyu after seeing Yamikumo.

- "Don't worry. I wouldn't have brought him if he wasn't ready."- Answered Ryukyu.

- "So, you're the guy Mirio mentioned. Are you really first year? What's your name? What is your quirk?"- Said a Blue haired girl.

- "Nejire! Focus!"- Said Ryukyu.

- "Right, sorry. My name is Nejire Hado, and that guy's name is Tamaki Amajiki."- Said Nejire pointing at the other guy.

- "H-hello"-

- "Nice to meet you, Hado-san, Amajiki-san. My name Is Yamikumo Atanagi."-

- "You can call me Nejire if you like. No such formality is necessary. Besides, my hero name is Nejire-chan, so you need to call me like that during this mission."-

- "S-Suneater… that's my hero name."- Said a nervous Tamaki.

- "In that case, I'm Fireheart."-

- "Okay. Come here."- Said Fat Gum.

- "We won't get too complicated. We break in through the front door and we'll jail anyone we see."- Said Ryukyu, everyone nodded.

Once in front of the entrance, Fat Gum will use his Quirk to destroy the wall. – "The Heroes are here!"- However the site was empty. There was no one there, at least at the entrance.

- "That's weird. Let's split up, we have to search, the drug must be somewhere."- Said Sir Nighteye.

Each one began to search for some way to find the drugs or some secret entrance where the people or the drugs were hidden. However, something caught Yamikumo's attention, approaching to check and moving away from the rest, purple mist began to surround him. – "Shit!"- After a few seconds, Yamikumo had disappeared.

- "Fireheart!"- Screamed Sir Nighteye. Suddenly, various villains appear from portals of mist above the heroes and interns. – "It's a trap! Lemillion go and search for Fireheart. If he's still in this building, find him."-

Without thinking twice, Mirio dove into the ground in search of his partner.

…

Unknown place.

Yamikumo fell to the floor after emerging from a portal. Quickly getting up, Yamikumo tried to communicate with the rest. – "Sir! Lemillion! Can you hear me?! Hello?!"- All he heard was static.

- *Nobody can hear you. *- Yamikumo turned to see who was talking to him, only to see Shigaraki on a screen. - *Sensei devised this plan to get my revenge against you. *-

- "Why me? It's because I defeated that Nomu of yours at the USJ?"-

- *You are a smart one, aren't you? Yes, but is not only that. Every time my plans fail you always have to show up. I'm tired of seeing your face every time. Don't worry, you're still in the same building so they can find you. They will find your dead body!"- At that, a door opens in front of Yamikumo. – "Let me introduce you to Alpha. Alpha! Kill Him!"-

- "Your wishes are orders Shigaraki-sama."- Alpha said before charging at Yamikumo. Without thinking, Yamikumo did the same. Once close, they both collide fists, Yamikumo's right and Alpha's left.

After a few moments of struggle, Yamikumo moved away and attacked with a kick to Alpha's chest, knocking him back a bit, however, Alpha seemed unaffected by the blow and charged Yamikumo again, this time in an exchange of blows between the two. In one of these exchanges, Alpha manages to hit Yamikumo in the face with his robotic arm, disorienting him and then with a kick send him crashing into the wall.

Slowly getting up, Yamikumo fires a blast of fire at Alpha. Raising his robotic arm, Alpha covers himself from the fire attack, surprising Yamikumo, as the arm protected Alpha from the fire, as well as being unaffected.

- "The arm must be made of some fireproof material. It seems they made him thinking of me."- Yamikumo thought. he quickly drew his Katana and charged at Alpha. Surprisingly, from Alpha's robotic arm a kind of sword came out, using it to fight against Yamikumo's attacks.

After a brief exchange, Yamikumo managed to break through Alpha's defense and land a heavy punch to the face, which despite being muffled by the mask, managed to send Alpha flying. Falling to the ground, Alpha gets up again unfazed by the attack.

At that moment Yamikumo tried to charge again, however he was stopped by having to dodge a projectile aimed at him. After this he had to dodge several more projectiles, some he deflected with his Katana and others he managed to dodge. Using his fire, he managed to create a barrier to protect himself and then took cover behind a box. Looking carefully at the projectiles, the surprise invades him again. – "This thing… I've seen it before…"- Suddenly a memory from two years ago made him identify the object. – "This is one of the Akaze Brothers quirk! This is impossible, neither of them has red hair. Somehow, they got hold of one of the two's quirks and passed it on to this guy. How…?"-However a sound interrupts his thoughts, a robotic arm reached through the box and grabbed him by the neck and, making him go through the box, pulled him.

Alpha.

Quirk: Porcupine.

This quirk allows Alpha to grow thorns and shoot them to any objective like a projectile.

(This quirk previously belonged to one of the Akaze brothers. It is unknown to which of the two it was stolen.)

Alpha had him by the neck, switching hands, using the left to grab Yamikumo by the neck, drawing the sword from his right arm, Alpha was about to stab Yamikumo, however, activating the Fire Soul, Yamikumo succeeded. break free of the grip with a blast of fire from its mouth strong enough to knock Alpha back.

However, Alpha simply brushed the fire off him, undeterred by the burns she received. – "How is it possible that my attacks have no effect? Wait… He has burns from my attacks. Didn't he feel them?"- To confirm his theory, Yamikumo using his speed manages to make a cut on Alpha's right arm, however he ignores the wound and manages to hit him in the stomach with the same arm with the wound, and then finish off with a punch to the face with his robotic arm, which causes Yamikumo to start bleeding from his left cheek. – "So, it's true. He also has Titan's Quirk."-

Alpha.

Second Quirk: Placebo.

This quirk allows Alpha not to feel any kind of damage. It should be noted that despite this quirk, any damage can be done, he only does not feel any type of effect.

(This quirk previously belonged to Titan.)

- "This is gonna be hard. I had faced this before, however now everything is together."- Thought Yamikumo after dodging another thorn. After this, Alpha approaches Yamikumo and a new exchange of blows occurred, however Yamikumo was getting tired quickly, Alpha did not seem to be exhausted. In one of these exchanges, Alpha manages to stab Yamikumo's right leg, luckily the weapon did not touch any nerve or important part of the leg, thanks to this, Yamikumo manages to take out the weapon and with a left kick push Alpha away.

Thanks to the Fire Soul, Yamikumo had no problem moving despite the leg injury.

- "Shit. I need to use more power."- Yamikumo gave a strong stomp and the fire that surrounded his body took the form of a dragon somewhat small due to Yamikumo's exhaustion. After a roar, the fire dragon headed for Alpha but, for his surprise, Alpha used his robotic arm and with a strong punch destroyed the dragon. With shocking speed, Alpha appeared in front of Yamikumo and hit him with his robotic arm, the blow was so strong that it made Yamikumo drop his Katana and even lose the Fire Soul. After the blow, Yamikumo went flying, however, something stopped him. Upon realizing it, he was being held up by four chains, one on each limb of his body. – "Is this…? Morino's quirk."-

Alpha.

Third quirk: Chain.

Alpha can summon a total of 6 metal chains from his back and can control them freely.

(This quirk previously belonged to Ibiki Morino.)

The chains began to move, pulling Yamikumo to stab him, desperately Yamikumo activates the Fire Soul again, this time with greater power and manages to free himself from the chains and then hit Alpha hard in the stomach, the blow was strong enough to ignore Placebo's effect and affect Alpha, making him groan in pain. However, Alpha quickly recovers and hits Yamikumo in the jaw with his left arm. This made Yamikumo bleed from the mouth.

Quickly the exchange of blows resumes, but this time Yamikumo's blows were faster, managing to hit Alpha several times, in one of those he managed to send Alpha flying, but it did not end there, using his Telekinesis, even though his nose Bleeding from the overexertion, Yamikumo used his telekinesis to pull Alpha in, striking him with a blaze from close range.

However, to his surprise, Yamikumo received a punch from Alpha, his robotic arm, the punch hit him on his left cheek. Alpha emerged from the smoke, with his trench coat destroyed and his shirt destroyed on his right side, showing the scar on his right arm, and how it was connected to the robotic prosthesis, in addition to some old burns already healed but remaining as scars.

Yamikumo was very tired, he could hardly stand up and could barely keep his Fire Soul activated. In a last attempt, creating a sphere of fire, he tried to launch it against Alpha, however, the rival appeared in front of him and with a movement of his robotic arm he destroyed the sphere.

Unfortunately, this was the last thing Yamikumo could do, as the Fire Soul left his body and lay motionless, awaiting Alpha's attack. The mentioned took his sword out of his arm again and was about to stab Yamikumo, he would have succeeded if it wasn't for a punch that sent him flying.

From a nearby wall appears Mirio, who had hit Alpha.

- "Fireheart! Are you okay?!"- Asked a worried Mirio after seeing Yamikumo's state.

- "I'll be. Thanks."-

- "Who is this guy?"-

- "I don't know. The only thing I know is that his name is Alpha, is part of the Villain League and he has multiple quirks."-

- "Multiple quirks? Like the Nomu?"-

- "Yes."-

Alpha without any problem gets up, he was about to attack but a purple mist appeared next to him.

- "Alpha, Tomura Shigaraki wants you to come back."- Said Kurogiri.

- "If that's what Shigaraki-sama wants, then you can take me."-

After this, Kurogiri teleported Alpha away.

- "Sir, can you hear me?"- Asked Mirio through the communicator.

- *Yes. They ambushed us but we managed to defeat everyone, it turned out to be a trap. Did you find Fireheart? *-

- "Yes. But he will need medical attention."-

…

Villains' hideout.

Alpha emerged from the portal, only to find a smiling Shigaraki.

- "Hahaha. That was great, Alpha. You are the best!"- Shigaraki started laughing. – "You passed the test. Next time we'll make sure you manage to kill him."-

- "I could have killed him, why did you interrupt me?"-

- "It was not necessary, the other boy who arrived would not let you kill him. Also, we showed that idiot that he is nothing against us. For me this is a victory."-

- "In this case, I am glad to know that I managed to meet your expectations."- Said Alpha with a slight bow.

…

A few hours later.

At the Hospital.

- "I hate hospitals."- Yamikumo was laying in the hospital bed. He wanted to go but Sir Nighteye ordered him to stay in the hospital at least one day. He told the police everything that happened and all about Alpha, after this they left him to rest, but he was bored as hell. But to his surprise someone would recognize him.

- "Yami-kun?"- It was Kinoko, who surprisingly was there.

- "Kinoko? What are you doing here?"-

- "I'm the one who should be asking that. But if you need to know. We brought an injured man to the hospital. Now, what are you doing here?"- She asked in an angry tone.

- "Oh. The Villain League set us up and a guy named Alpha beat the crap out of me. He even stabbed me in the leg. But I'm okay."-

Kinoko was quiet for a few seconds. - "Why…? Why is it that whenever something like this happens, you have to be a part of it, and what's worse, you always end up hurt?!"-

- "Aren't you exaggerating?"-

- "The USJ, the Stain thing, this thing, and don't make me mention the ones before UA"- She scolded.

- "Okay. You are right. But you worry too much. I mean, this is part of the hero work."-

- "I know but that isn't excuse for you to get injured every time! Besides, you are no one to tell me whether to worry or not!"- She said before leaving the place angry.

- "W-wait!"- Yamikumo yelled and then got up from the bed, put on some pants and took off all the things that were connected to him. Solely to follow Kinoko out of the hospital.

- "Wait! Kinoko!"- Yamikumo shouted, managing to reach Kinoko.

- "What?!"-

- "Why are you so angry at me? Did I do something wrong?"-

- "No, it's just… You keep injuring yourself so much, and I keep thinking that one of these days, you won't be able to recover from your wounds or worse yet, be mortally wounded. I care about you."-

- "I understand that but, you care beyond what another one of our friends would do. Why?"- Kinoko didn't say anything, just looked away. - "Come on, help me to understand…"-

- "It's because I like you! I said it, I like you and I can't help but care about you a lot! I just don't know if next time you won't make it out of the hospital, or you'll die. That's why I worry. I do not want to lose you."- Some tears felt from her eyes.

This declaration leaves Yamikumo stunned. He's not going to deny it, he also had feelings towards the brown-haired girl, what he didn't think is that she also felt the same for him. It was right there that he realized, because she cared a lot about him, she made him feel like a fool, he is so smart and he can't realize his friend's feelings, then again, he's not very good at this kind of things either.

Yamikumo was so stunned at the time that he couldn't think of anything else. Grabbing Kinoko by the shoulders, bringing his face closer to hers and finally meeting his lips with hers. This action caught Kinoko by surprise until after a few seconds she returned the kiss. The kiss lasted almost a minute, after separating they were both with big blushes on their faces, Kinoko's being bigger than Yamikumo's.

- "S-So, that means that we are now a…?"-

- "A couple? I think so."- After a few seconds to concentrate, Yamikumo continued. - "I can't promise you that I will never hurt myself again, that's something unreal."- He said as he took Kinoko's hand. – "But I promise I'll do my best, so you don't worry."-

- "…Okay. You better keep that promise!"- After a few seconds of silence, she continued. – "By the way, should we tell others about us?"-

- "Let's keep it a secret for now. You know, to avoid interrogation, possible jealousy from Mineta, and worse, Ashido and her awkward questions."-

- "Point taken. Well… I wish to stay but I have to go. We'll talk later."- After that, Kinoko gives Yamikumo a quick kiss on the cheek and leaves.

- "It's not what I expected, but I can't complain."- Said Yamikumo with a smile in his face.

Chapter 22.

The final exams.

A few days had passed, and the internships ended without any other incident, right now we can see Yamikumo in the train, obviously accompanied by Kinoko, in the way to UA.

- "Hey, Yami-kun, can you tell me again. Why are you wearing glasses?"- Kinoko asked.

- "Oh. These are actually fake glasses, I'm using them to hide myself from the people, what happened in Hosu is still remembered, so this is my disguise until I can go out normally again."-

- "Yeah, I understand that but, you're literally just wearing glasses, otherwise you're still the same."- She said while pinching her nose.

- "Sometimes the simplest is the most effective"- He said.

Suddenly a person approached Yamikumo. – "Excuse me? You look familiar to me; do I know you from somewhere else?"- The guy asked.

- "I don't think so. I'm from UA, maybe you saw me in the festival."- Yamikumo answered.

- "Yeah, you're right. Sorry to bother you."- The guy said before leaving.

Kinoko was speechless. – "I can't believe that worked"-

- "I told you."-

- "In that case…"- Kinoko said before putting on a flirtatious smile. – "That means we can go on a date without anyone bothering us."-

- "Y-Yeah… I think so."- He said. You see. The reason why these two haven't had their first date is that Yamikumo, being one of the students who defeated Stain, is being recognized everywhere, so they are waiting for a moment for things to calm down so they can go out without being bothered. - "L-Look. We have arrived, come on."- He then grabbed Kinoko's hand and get out of the train.

…

1-a classroom.

- "I can't believe you faced Stain! Even better, you defeat him!"- Screamed a surprised Sero.

- "Yeah, that was so manly!"- Said Kirishima.

Everyone was surrounding the four who defeated Stain. Yamikumo and Todoroki were serious, Iida was trying to calm everyone down and Izumi was completely nervous.

As everyone mentions how cool they were, Momo managed to get closer to Yamikumo. - "Atanagi-kun. Can I ask you something? Don't worry, this has nothing to do with Stain."-

- "Sure."-

- "When you recommended me to go with Mirko, which I appreciate, you only mentioned having seen her in action. However, in Hosu she seemed to recognize you, besides getting quite angry with you. I would like to know, where do you actually know her from? – She asked with a suspicious look.

This question made Yamikumo sweat. – "W-Why? Didn't you ask her?"-

- "Yes, but her answer was strange."-

Flashback.

- "Excuse me? Mirko."- Momo said.

- "Yeah, what do you want? Aren't you supposed to be training?"-

- "Yes, sorry but I need to ask you something."-

- "Make it quick."-

- "I noticed that in Hosu you recognized one of my classmates, Atanagi-kun, I was wondering, where do you know him from?"-

- "That little bastard is your classmate?! When I see him, he will pay. This time he will not escape me. I will have my rematch! Now go back to your training."- After this Mirko left to release some tension.

- "… That didn't answer my question…"-

Flashback end.

- "She didn't answer my question. Now can you please answer me?"- She glared at Yamikumo.

- "I-I-I… You see…"- Luckily, for Yamikumo, Aizawa arrived at the classroom, he was accompanied by Shinso.

- "I see that the news has everyone excited, but that does not mean that you can be out of your seats." – Aizawa said and everyone went to their seats, Momo gave a look to Yamikumo that says "This isn't over" then went to her seat. – "Let's see… summer vacation is close but, none of you will be able to rest during these 30 days."- Everyone tensed up for this. – "We will go camping in the woods during the holidays."- After this announcement everyone was excited, however a look from Aizawa made them shut up. – "However, if someone fails the final exams they will stay in school and have remedial classes."-

- "Everyone! Do your best!"- Kirishima shout to motivate everyone.

- "Now, I think you have a hero lesson with All Might. Shinso you are taking it with this class."-

After this everyone got ready and went to the place where All Might was waiting. Everyone was in their hero costume, except for Iida, his costume was being repaired. But without a doubt, the most surprising was Shinso, who was also wearing a suit.

He wears a short-sleeved black shirt, grey shoulder pads, fish net arm sleeves and fingerless gloves. His pants are also black, with purple rings around the bottom, with a mini speaker on each end, and white boots with purple tips. In addition, Hitoshi wears an Artificial Vocal Cords on his face and a Capturing Weapon around his neck.

- "Shinso-kun, that's your hero costume?"- Asked Izumi.

- "Yes. I was inspired by Eraserhead to do it, in addition to also using a capture weapon."-

- "And what is this?"- She said pointing at the device in his neck.

- "It's an Artificial Vocal Cords. With this I can change my voice so no one can guess if I'm talking or not."-

- "So cool!"- Said Izumi, she was about to start muttering but All Might started speaking.

- "Today we are having a rescue lesson. Form three groups of five people and one of six. When I give the distress signal, team members will enter from outside the zone, this will be a competition to see who can rescue me first."-

The group of Sero, Mina, Iida, Ojiro and Izumi was first. I'm not going to bore you with the details, but just so you know, Izumi won the competition (she didn't slip). The rest of the competitions occurred without any incident. Yamikumo, Momo and, surprisingly, Shinso also won their respective competition.

- "Despite only having four winners, they have all improved since entering the academy. Keep it up and get ready for the final exams."- After these words, All Might approached Izumi and whispered to her. – "At break time come see me, you can also bring young Atanagi, it's time for me to tell you more about One for All."-

…

Locker room. Boy's side.

- "Hey, Kaminari"- Mineta whispered to Kaminari. - "Look at this hole. It points directly to the girls' locker room."- This called everyone attention.

- "Hey, I know the girls in our class are pretty, but this is already pushing the limits too far."- Said Kaminari, thanks to him spending a lot of time with Yamikumo and Iida he learned to be decent when it comes to girls.

- "I don't care, I will do what I have to do, and no one will stop me!" – He turned to the hole's direction but the only thing he saw was Yamikumo standing in front of him, Fire Soul activated and with his katana in hand.

- "And what's that supposed to be?"- He asked in a threatening tone. Mineta began to sweat with fear and could not respond. – "Because if what you want is to be on the side of the girls, I can gladly help you become one."- He said while pointing his katana at Mineta's private parts. This nearly gave Mineta a heart attack. Hearing this, the rest of the boys unconsciously covered their own parts.

- "N-no. I was about to report this to the principal so the hole can be sealed."- Mineta said in a scared tone.

- "Good. In that case I'll go with you. I will protect you, there will be many perverts who will try to avoid that."-

- "Y-Yeah, good thinking."-

…

Girl's side.

- "Wow, Atanagi-kun can be really scary when he wants to."- Mina said.

- "Well, at least they'll take care of the hole."- Said Kinoko. However, he noticed Momo who was in her thoughts. – "Yaoyorozu are you okay?"-

This snapped Momo out of her thoughts. - "Oh, yes, I'm just trying to figure out who Atanagi-kun really is."-

This caught every girl's attention. - "Why?"- Kinoko asked.

- "You'll see. When he recommended me to go with Mirko, he told me that he had only seen her in action once but in Hosu, it seemed that Mirko recognized him, it seemed that they had known each other before."- Momo explained.

- "Now that I remember, I asked him if he knew her, but he told me he didn't want to talk about it."- Added Izumi.

- "Oh, that. A couple of years ago they met in a fight. Yami-kun defeated her and since then she wants a rematch."- Explained Kinoko.

- "Atanagi-kun faced Mirko?!"- All the girls screamed.

- "Yes, but it was before Mirko was Mirko. In fact, he never wants to talk about it because he's afraid of Mirko."-

- "Why? I know she is a bit aggressive, but it is not to be so afraid of her."- Asked Momo.

- "Let's say that Yami-kun is the only one who has seen Mirko angry to the limit... and survive."-

After this the rest of the day was normal until the break started.

Breakroom.

- "Sit down."- Toshinori said to Izumi and Yamikumo. – "You have been through a lot of trouble. Sorry for not being around."-

- "You don't have to apologize. You said something about the One for All story."- Said Izumi.

- "I heard the Hero Killer licked your blood. Remember what I told you when I gave you the power?"-

- "Eat this."- Izumi said while doing a perfect imitation of All Might face included.

- "No. Not that!"- Toshinori said. This interaction made Yamikumo laugh a little. – "I told you that no matter what, as long as you have my DNA you will have the One for All"- This worried Izumi.

- "Does that mean the hero killer now has the One for All?!"-

- "No. I guess you forget it. The One for All cannot be transmitted unless the owner wants it. Therefore, it cannot be taken away by force. It is a peculiar quirk, just like its origin. The One for All derives from a singularity that has existed since the beginning of everything. It's All for One. This quirk steals quirks and makes them its own. It can also give quirks to other people. He exists from the beginning of everything. His influence was so great that he managed to take control of all of Japan. That man had a brother. That brother was quirkless. When he found out, he gave his brother a quirk without knowing that in reality he always had a quirk. The power to pass his quirk to another person. So, both singularities merged into one. That is the origin of One for All."-

- "Wait. What happened to that man?"- Asked Izumi.

- "The brother was not able to defeat All for One. Therefore, he decided to entrust One for All to another person and thus the power gradually accumulated. I was the one who managed to beat him. Or at least that's what I thought."-

- "Do you think he may be behind the villain league and the Nomu?"- Asked Yamikumo.

- "Yes. It's a theory but yes."- Said Toshinori.

- "In that case let me confirm it. During my internship I faced villain from the villain league. He had several Quirks, like the Nomu. But what surprised me the most is that I met the owners of the quirks he had. Somehow, he got those quirks. Now it makes sense, that guy, All for One, must have given him those quirks."-

- "I see… One for All was created to defeat All for One. Young Midoriya, you will have to face that evil one day. I know it's hard but..."-

- "I'll give my best. I will prepare for that day. With your help and Atanagi-kun's I can do it."- Said Izumi.

- "I know this doesn't concern me but... if All for One is behind the Villain League it's my problem too. Shigaraki is targeting me too. I will give my all to help!"- Said Yamikumo.

- "Thank you."-

After this conversation the last week of June arrived, there was only one week left for the final exams.

- "I didn't study at all!"- Screamed Mina and Kaminari. – "I couldn't study because of the sports festival and the internships."- Said Kaminari.

- "Mina-san, Kaminari-kun. We have to try harder."- Said Izumi. – "So, we can all go to camp.

- "With you supporting me I will not fail Midori."- Said Mina to Izumi who blushed at this.

- "If you paid more attention in class, you wouldn't fail Kaminari."- Said Yamikumo.

- "It's easy for you to say. You have the number one position with your perfect grades."-

- "Wait. Midori you are smart. Can you help me study?"- Asked Mina to Izumi while making a cute face.

Obviously, that made Izumi blush even more. Not only because of the proximity, but a few weeks ago she had accepted that she felt an attraction towards her pink classmate. - "S-sure."-

- "Thanks Midori."- Mina said while hugging Izumi which reached her limit and almost passed out.

- "That's great idea. Midoriya, can you help me too?"- Asked Kaminari but before Izumi could answer Mina answered for her.

- "No. She's mine. Find your own teacher."- She said in a threatening tone.

- "O-Okay."- He then looked at Yamikumo. – "Atanagi! Help me please."-

- "Sure, but you won't be able to back down."- He said.

- "Sure, how bad could it be."-

…

Cafeteria.

- "Apparently it will be a synthesis of everything seen so far."- Said Kinoko.

- "That's what Aizawa-sensei said. The rest will be basic training."- Said Uraraka.

- "Studying for the exam and keeping our physical condition to perfection...Ouch"- Izumi said but was interrupted by a blow to her head.

- "Oh, excuse me, your head is so big that I hit it."- Said a blond student. – "I heard that four of you managed to beat the Hero Killer. You do not stop causing problems. Maybe one day we will see ourselves involved in a problem where we get hurt. How scary... Ugh."- He said but was interrupted by a chop in his neck by an orange haired girl.

- "It's not funny, they must have been terrified. Sorry class A, this guy is... weird. I heard you didn't know what the practical exam is about. I heard that it will be the same as the entry. A fight against robots. Someone from second year told me."-

- "What are you doing Kendo? You got rid of our advantage."- Said the blond guy.

While the duo of the other class left Kaminari, and Mina sighed in relief.

- "Robots, huh? Someone from third year told me too."- Said Yamikumo remembering when Mirio told him about this.

- "Then why did you never say it!?"-

- "First, you never asked until now. Second, you must also collect information. Third, the UA is famous for its free teaching, they can easily change the exam whenever they want, so don't be overconfident."-

- "Atanagi-kun is right. As UA students we cannot trust the information. Perhaps the teachers ordered people to be give us false information to make us overconfident."-Said Iida.

- "I guess you are right. So, Atanagi, is it alright if we start tomorrow?"-

- "No. Tomorrow Kinoko-san and I have a date so it will have to be the next day."- He said without thinking, when he realized what he said he saw all his friends gaping at the couple. – "Please don't go around saying it."- It was the only thing he managed to say.

- "I knew it!"- Screamed Mina in joy.

…

The days passed quickly for some and very slowly for others, the written exams passed and so the day of the practical exam arrived.

Everyone was in their hero costume, but they were surprised by the number of pro heroes that where there.

- "There's a lot of teachers"- Said Jiro.

- "I found out that some people found out what the exam is about, so we decided to change it."- Said the principal who emerged from Eraserhead's capture weapon. – "You will pair up to fight one of the teachers."-

- "Against the teachers?"-

- "The couples and the rivals are already decided. For example, Todoroki and Yaoyorozu will go against me."- Said Eraserhead. – "Midoriya and Bakugo will face…"- He said but was interrupted by someone.

- "ME!"- Said All Might.

- "All ten teams will start on their respective stages at the same time. The test will be explained to them by the teacher with whom they will fight. Time is precious, so make your way to your buses."-

- "Wait, Shinso-kun isn't with us?"- Izumi asked.

- "No, He is taking the exam with class B, now go to your bus."- Eraserhead answered.

They all got on their respective buses and went to the place of their tests.

The fights are about to start.

…

Kyoka Jiro and Yamikumo Atanagi vs Present Mic.

Jiro was using her quirk to locate Present Mic. – "He is at the exit. It seems that escape will be impossible."-

- "COME ON!"- Present Mic screamed with his quirk.

- "He is very noisy… It seems that he will stay at the exit and will only use ranged attacks. Jiro-san do you think you can counter his attacks?"-

- "I think so, but I don't think I can get over them."-

- "Good, you try to fight back, make him think he's got us cornered."- Yamikumo said while entering to the woods.

- "And where are you going?"-

Yamikumo turned around and showed the handcuffs. - "I'm going to capture it."- After this Yamikumo disappeared into the shadows.

Meanwhile Present Mic was chilling at the exit. – "What are you waiting for?!"- He screamed again. – "You are very noisy."- He suddenly heard. Suddenly he saw Yamikumo next to him while he was handcuffed.

- * The Atanagi-Jiro team passes. * - Said the announcement.

…

Medical station.

Jiro and Yamikumo entered the medical station, no one was there, except for Recovery Girl. – "It seems that we are the first to pass."- Said Yamikumo.

- "Great, I've never been the first at something."- Said an excited Jiro.

- "I recommend that you watch the other fights, you could learn several things."- Said Yamikumo while watching the screens.

…

Kinoko Komori and Mezo Shoji vs Snipe.

Another short fight. Kinoko used her quirk to grow several giant mushrooms and block off the entire stage, making it impossible to see anything but mushrooms, yet, thanks to his quirk, Shoji managed to find Snipe and capture him.

…

Momo Yaoyorozu and Shoto Todoroki vs Eraserhead.

- "Yaoyorozu, I have a plan. Start creating stuff, no matter the size, that way we'll know if Eraserhead is around meanwhile we search for the exit."-

- "That's your plan? Forgive me but this plan is very bad."-

- "Why?"-

- "First, I create things but what happens if Eraserhead decides not to delete my quirk and attack us by surprise? Or if he deletes what? Will you try to face it?"-

- "Well, if you put it that way..."-

- "You better keep quiet and leave the plan to me."- Said Momo when she started creating some things.

Eraserhead was watching the place from the rooftops when he saw Todoroki stepping out an alley… big mistake.

Quickly jumping towards Todoroki, he tried to capture him, Todoroki noticed and tried to use his quirk however Eraserhead had erased it. However, before he could use his capture weapon, something caught his attention, Momo was heading at him with a prepared kick. Using his arm, he quickly covers himself from the blow, which he had to admit had hurt. – "It seems that she learned several things from Mirko."- However this was not over, Todoroki, now out of Eraserhead's vision tried to trap him in his ice, however, with a maneuver he managed to avoid the ice.

That was not all, Momo quickly created a metal rod and began to attack Eraserhead. He had to admit that the girl had improved her skills quite a bit. Her attacks were fiercer and faster, and her combat technique was better. – "Todoroki-kun, now!"- She screamed, then from behind some ice tried to capture Eraserhead.

- "So, this is your plan? Distract me so that Todoroki captures me with his ice."- Quickly jumping backwards, Eraserhead evades the ice. – "Sorry to say it didn't work"-However, upon landing he realized that he landed on a rope, suddenly something that looked like his capture weapon caught him.

Without thinking Todoroki used his fire and the material hardened, trapping Eraserhead.

- * The Todoroki-Yaoyorozu team passes. * - Said the announcement.

- "It worked."- Said Todoroki.

- "I told you. You see Todoroki-kun, sometimes having help is good."- She said while winking at him. Unknowingly this made the boy blush a little.

…

Ochako Uraraka and Yuuga Aoyama vs Thirteen.

Uraraka and Aoyama were clinging to a railing so as not to be sucked into thirteen's technique.

- "This is bad. If we let, go we can die."- Said Aoyama in a worried tone, weirdly enough his face wasn't worried at all.

- "Wait, thirteen will never kill us. That means if I let go... Aoyama-kun get ready, this could go very well or very badly."- Uraraka let go of the railing and headed towards thirteen, when Thirteen saw this, she deactivated her quirk. Smiling, Uraraka used what she learned with Gunhead and with a little help from Aoyama they managed to capture thirteen.

- * The Uraraka-Aoyama team passes. * - Said the announcement.

…

Denki Kaminari and Mina Ashido vs The principal.

Both students were currently climbing to the top of the machine that Nezu was operating, luckily the principal didn't seem to notice.

- "I must admit I'm surprised this plan of yours is working out."- Said Mina to his classmate. – "No offense."-

- "Don't worry, I'm surprised too."- Said Kaminari. – "When I saw the principal start destroying everything, I realized that running away would not be an option. That's why I thought we could use your acid to make our way to where he was without him noticing."-

- "Looks like your classes with Atanagi-kun paid off."-

- "Yeah, they did."-

A few moments later they managed to reach the top and without problems capture the principal.

- * The Kaminari-Ashido team passes. * - Said the announcement. Both friends high-five.

…

Minoru Mineta and Hanta Sero vs Midnight

The battle started with the advantage for Midnight, she quickly managed to put Sero to sleep with her quirk leaving Mineta to flee alone. However, inspired by the rest of his classmates, Mineta manages to gather courage and manages to catch Midnight with his quirk and together with a still sleeping Sero manages to escape.

…

Tsuyu Asui and Fumikage Tokoyami vs Ectoplasm.

Both teenagers worked together incredibly well, their tactic was to use their abilities to escape however Ectoplasm managed to catch them and ruin their plan. Luckily, using Tsuyu's ability to store things in her stomach and Dark Shadow they managed to trick Ectoplasm and capture him.

…

Eijiro Kirishima and Rikido Sato vs Cementoss

The fight was long, but not because the boys gave the teacher a lot of fight, but because the boys tried a direct attack tactic, however Cementoss created several barriers which were destroyed by the boys but said barriers were created faster than what were destroyed. In the end, both boys failed to get past the teacher's defenses and failed the exam.

…

Mashirao Ojiro and Tenya Iida vs Power Loader.

This battle was fast, Power Loader had the field controlled thanks to his quirk, however thanks to his Recipro Burst, Iida manages to throw Ojiro with the necessary force to avoid touching the ground and reach the exit.

…

Izumi Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo vs All Might.

Both Izumi and Bakugo were in front of the entrance to the stage where they would have their test. It would not be easy at all, they were facing the No.1 Hero, The Symbol of Peace, All Might. They both gave each other a quick glance and nodded to finally see the large entrance door to the place that would be their exam. Just this time they put the grudges aside, since the test that awaits them is bigger than a grudge from the past.

The doors were opened and at that moment. Both the green-haired and the blonde shot into the field, each with their combat mode active. Izumi with her Full Cowl and Bakugo with his Explosive Skin.

- "In this exam we are the heroes, and the teachers are the villains, we should remember the skills of All Might to decide whether to flee or fight."- Those were Izumi's words as she ran at high-speed using the Full Cowl.

- "And taking into account that we are facing All Might, the best thing would be to run away... but the best thing would be to fight."- Bakugo said in his Explosive Skin mode, but that caught Izumi's attention – "If we fight with him until In the end, he will surely get tired and we will be able to defeat him." –

Izumi had to admit that was a good idea, but All Might's time in his super mode was three hours, and not even 30 minutes had passed yet. – "But even with an advantage it will be difficult to win. We must work together to at least achieve it."-

- "I hate to admit it, but you're right."- Bakugo said reluctantly.

The two of them had started to increase their speed to get to the exit faster, but in that, a large amount of wind shot towards them. The two tried in vain to protect themselves from such a wind, but even so, it sent them flying and, in the process, destroyed almost the entire area in which they were.

After the wind stopped, they both managed to stand up again to see in front of them All Might approaching slowly. – "If you consider this an exam... - Said the hero at the moment of giving a strong stomp creating another current of wind, not as powerful as the previous one but it was strong – "... You will regret it. I am a villain, heroes. Come with all your might!" –And then he ran towards them.

- "Smash! / Stun Grenade!"- Both students launched their own attacks as they were right in front of All Might, who received both the blow and the explosion. – "That's what we were going to do!" - They exclaimed at the same time when launching the attack, Bakugo tried to give him a direct attack, but All Might caught his face with one hand.

But apparently, he forgot Izumi who appeared on top of him to hit him on the back forcing him to let go of Bakugo. However, Izumi opened her eyes wide when she felt a strong blow to her stomach from All Might, which sent her flying a great distance from the place.

But at that moment, All Might received a heavy blow which was then followed by an explosion. When he turned around, he saw Bakugo without one of his gloves leaving his left arm exposed. Bakugo kept attacking, both with explosions and explosive blows towards the hero who only received the blows but didn't seem affected at all.

- "Will you really try this all the time?" - The Hero said while receiving explosions in his body, to then close his right fist and prepare a strong punch for Bakugo. But right away, Izumi would use her enhanced speed to take Bakugo away from All Might. – "I didn't expect Young Midoriya to recover so quickly -All Might whispered as he put one of his hands behind his head.

Meanwhile with the Duo.

They were both inside an alley leaning against its walls while they took a breath, they knew that fighting All Might would not be easy, but it seems that it was even more complicated than they thought. – "Kachan...really, I can't think of any way to defeat or escape from All Might" - Izumi said as she took a deep breath.

- "Well, I discovered something..." -Bakugo said calling Izumi's attention – "Simple blows like that won't affect him, I understood during that brief fight. So..." –

While with All Might, he was running through the streets of the fake city hoping to find the two young students. – "Where are they?"- He wondered. – "Since they had hidden, that meant they were headed straight for the exit, right?" –

- "WHERE ARE YOU LOOKING?!" - He heard a scream behind him, to turn around and see Bakugo pointing a hand at him. In that he used his arms to cover a direct explosion to his face. At that, Bakugo used his explosions to propel himself into the air as he yelled – "DEKU!" - That scream caught All Might's attention, then he heard someone stop behind him.

That was Izumi, who on her right arm had removed her suit glove and arm guard to put on one of Bakugo's grenades. – "So…we'll give him everything from close range. Our only option is to deal damage and put some distance." - Izumi remembered her partner's idea when moving the grenade and aiming at All Might while she removed the safe lock. – "Sorry sensei" -the girl thought at the moment of shooting. And the blast was released, hitting All Might and making Izumi take a few steps back from the force of the blast.

- "Run nerd!" -in that Bakugo passed over her towards the exit using his explosions to propel him through the air. At that, Izumi activating the Full Cowl again started to make her way towards the exit alongside Bakugo.

Once the smoke caused by the brain blast, All Might was on his knees after receiving such a powerful attack – "They caught me. That was a plan to run away after attacking. A good impromptu plan." - In that, he looked at the destroyed buildings, not by the attack, they were what he destroyed at the beginning of everything – "They also limited the damage to points that I had already destroyed myself. I taught them that in the first combat training." - In that, he coughed a little on his fist when he stood up – "I see. They are both very smart." -

In that, he looked at his fist to see a small trace of blood – "Then..." - In that, he squatted down at the moment one of his blue eyes sparkled – "Your teacher will try hard!" –

Back with the duo.

- "We're almost at the exit" - Izumi said without stopping running. – "It doesn't seem like All Might is following us." -Said the green hair as she turned her head to look back, and there was no trace of All Might – "Is he unconscious?" –

- "Didn't you said that it was impossible to beat him?" -Bakugo said to his partner and then landed next to her and started running. – "When he reaches us, we must defeat him with our best attacks!" –

- "Yes, and then?" -surprisingly, All Might came to them, and got into their conversation taking the pair by surprise. At that moment, Bakugo tried to use his grenade bracelet, but All Might destroyed both gauntlets in one hit.

After this, Bakugo received a strong knee to the chin, which sent him crashing into a building at high speed. And Izumi, was held tightly by her arm, to later be used as a kind of human hammer, which was used to attack Bakugo who had recovered and had gone on the attack again and thus both received a strong blow that hit the ground hard.

- "Overwhelming speed... His stamina and power are the same... It's quite simple... It's real power" -Bakugo thought from the ground clenching his teeth as he tried to get up.

In that, Izumi was forcefully launched by All Might making her roll on the ground – "Trying to escape from me using your maximum power was your idea, but now I have destroyed the gloves of young Bakugo, you have lost." –

- "That's not true!" – The duo exclaimed at that moment Bakugo managed to put one of his hands in the direction of All Might and cause a large explosion which sent All Might flying giving Bakugo the opportunity to stand up.

Izumi at that moment, crouched down to then make a strong jump and be at the same height as All Might in the air, while preparing an attack. – "Detroit Smash!" - And she threw a strong blow that also launched her in the direction of the exit.

But it seems that it wasn't enough because All Might punched the air hard which made it shoot towards Izumi tackling her back. The force was so great that Izumi was thrown away until she hit a bus.

- "The gloves were to be able to use bigger explosions and not depend on my Explosive Skin without taking risks." - Bakugo thought when activating the Explosive Skin again and going straight to All Might – "But I won't be able to beat him, without taking risks" - All Might finally noticed Bakugo who had both of his fists pointing at him, which were completely bright orange. – "DIE!"- In that Bakugo caused a gigantic explosion towards All Might. – "Quick Deku! Run!"-

The green-haired girl only stood up again, but as she did so she felt a stab of pain in her back, it must have been when she received All Might's tackle.

- "Do it fast!"- Bakugo yelled again as he launched a large series of gigantic explosions at All Might who was behind him, but as he launched more and more explosions, he felt an intense amount of pain in his arms.

Ignoring the pain, Izumi started to walk towards the exit – "Even if it hurts, I must go towards the exit. But if I go there, All Might will try to block me. Kachan should take advantage of it..."-

But at that, All Might changed his course to go towards Izumi and try to intercept her, but at that moment, Bakugo shot out in front of All Might to intercept him and attack him again with a blast. But unfortunately, All Might managed to avoid it and incidentally caught Bakugo by the head and then smashed him to the ground.

Bakugo started punching All Might's arm repeatedly. – "Quickly, idiot..." - Said the blond while he kept hitting All Might's arm – "I'll break...even if I end up tearing myself to shreds, I'll do it because I've won...I won't accept that I haven't even managed to beat you." - And then with his teeth he bit All Might's hand causing the hero to have a slight annoyance. – "I won't!" –

Hearing that, Izumi bolted towards All Might while preparing a strong punch. – "I risk going over my limit, but right now it doesn't matter."- Izumi thought before giving All Might a hard blow on the cheek making him move away and then take Bakugo and move a couple of meters away from the Hero.

All Might tried to go towards them, but he let them pass, after all, they weren't going towards the exit as he thought.

After walking a few meters away from All Might, Izumi put Bakugo down.

The explosive blonde was taking deep breaths to be well again – "Why?" - He asked haltingly – "Why did you come back for me?" - And then he directed his gaze towards Izumi revealing to be full of rage – "YOU WERE ALREADY CLOSE TO THE EXIT! WHY THE FUCK DID YOU COME BACK?!" –

- "I'm sorry, Kachan" - The green hair apologized and then smiled – "But my body acted on its own" –

Bakugo's eyes widened after hearing it. And the memory of long ago, when he was saved by Izumi from that villain came suddenly. – "But even so...we were about to win...but you decided to come save me and now we are far from the exit and with All Might in front." –

- "That's why I have an idea." -Said the green-haired girl calling Bakugo's attention – "But to achieve this we must use all our power." –

Suddenly a scream caught All Might's attention to see the two young ones running towards him, running at high speed. All Might at that moment, decided to do the same and charged at them. And when they were face to face… They began a bare-knuckle fight between them, with Izumi and Bakugo coordinating to attack.

In that, Izumi received a strong blow to the stomach from All Might, making her open her eyes wide, but even so, she held All Might's arm tightly and then crouched down, so that at that moment Bakugo knee the face of All Might making him go back a couple of meters.

Izumi forcefully rammed her fist into All Might's stomach, while Bakugo kicked the hero in the face. After receiving that attack, All Might grabbed both of them and forcefully threw them into the air.

- "THROW ME DEKU!" - Bakugo yelled at Izumi.

Izumi at that moment put her two fists together when activating the Full Cowl again and in that, Bakugo put his two feet on the fists. - "NOW!"- Bakugo exclaimed as Izumi used all her strength to launch him at great speed.

And as he was thrown, Bakugo activated the Explosive Skin again and then released a chain of explosions to propel him further and tackle All Might and continue forward. But where he was headed, was toward the exit.

- "Young Bakugo plans to reach the exit and take me with him."- Realizing this, All Might planted both of his feet hard on the ground to try to stop the advance. More however Izumi shot towards him with the Full Cowl active to also tackle All Might and help Bakugo.

And so, both using all their power, they began to move towards the exit again and they were very close to doing so. And so, they clench their teeth hard at the moment of letting all their power float for a few seconds and thus finally, once and for all, reach the exit.

- "Before, she could have passed through the door. But she went to help her partner, and now they have decided to use all their power to defeat me and run away." – Those were the hero's thoughts as he saw the two young students, although they already had left the place, they were still holding him – "It seems that there is no wall to stop them" –

- *The Midoriya-Bakugo tam passes! * - was announced, implying that they had achieved it.

…

The next day.

Aizawa entered to the classroom which was surprisingly quiet. – "Good morning. Now we will talk about the final exam. It's a shame but some of you failed. So, we're all going to camp!"- This cheered everyone up. – "No one failed the theory exam, and only Kirishima, Sato, and Sero failed the practical exam. And that's why the three of you will be taking remedial courses during camp."-

- "Well, at least we are all going to camp."- Said Kirishima.

- "I have an idea"- Said Mina – "Since we rest tomorrow, all of us in class A could go shopping."-

- "That's a great idea"- Said Kaminari.

- "Yes. Hey Bakugo, will you come too?"- Asked Kirishima.

- "Whatever. I just hope it's not boring."- Surprisingly Bakugo accepted.

- "Will you come too Todoroki-kun?"- Asked Momo to Todoroki.

- "On my days off I visit the hospital."- He answered.

- "What a pity, and I wished you to come too." - Momo said with a fake sad face.

- "I-I guess I can go. I can visit the hospital after that."- He said but then saw Yaoyorozu with a victory smile.

- "Wow. Since when Yaomomo became so manipulative?"- Asked Kinoko.

- "It's Mirko's influence"- Said a shaking Yamikumo.

- "I see you're still afraid of Mirko."-

- "You didn't see what I saw."- Said a terrified Yamikumo. – "Damn it. I shouldn't have recommended her to go with Mirko."-

…

Shopping mall.

All of class 1-a arrived at the shopping mall.

- "It is the commercial center of the Kiyashi district."- Said one of them.

- "What do you think if we agree on a time and place to meet so that everyone can buy what they need?"- Said Kirishima.

- "That's a great idea. Come on Midori, let's go shopping!"- Said Mina while grabbing Izumi's hand and dragging her to the shops.

- "W-wait a second… Mina-san"- A blushing Izumi said but followed her friend/crush.

The rest also began to go buy their things. Only Uraraka, Kinoko and Yamikumo remain.

- "So, what do you need? I need some bug spray."- Said Uraraka.

- "Yeah, me too. Are you coming to Yami-kun?"- Asked Kinoko.

- "I'll catch up, I need to check a few things first."- He said with a slight smile in his face. After both girls left his face changed into a serious one. – "You can come out. I know you are there."- He said and then Shigaraki appeared from the crowd, he wasn't wearing those hands.

- "I see that nothing escapes you."- Shigaraki said with a smile.

- "What do you want?"- He said while prepared to fight.

- "Quiet. We don't want an accident to happen."- Said Shigaraki. At that moment Yamikumo felt a presence in the distance, turning around he could see Alpha watching from afar. – "Now act like we're friends. Let's go and take a coffee"-

The duo seated in a near cafeteria.

- "There is not much that matters to me. But there are many things that bother me, All Might, you, but now what bothers me the most is the hero killer."- Said Shigaraki while drinking his coffee.

- "So, you guys never really allied."- Said Yamikumo drinking his tea.

- "The invasion of the UA, the Nomu in Hosu, everything was overshadowed by that guy. Why is no one looking at me? How are we different?"-

- "He had a conviction. Everything he did was for a clear reason. You only destroy on a whim; you have no motivation. All Might motivated the Hero Killer to try to be a hero and society motivated him to be what he is now. You don't have anything."- Yamikumo answered.

After a few seconds, Shigaraki spoke up. – "I see. Now I see everything more clearly. It's all the fault of All Might and this society. All people smile because of that idiot, they refuse to see reality. I will show them how rotten this world is. Destroying the Symbol of Peace and everyone who sympathizes with him. Especially you."- After this Shigaraki gets up and starts to leave. – "I'm glad I talked to you. This will be the only time we see each other peacefully. Next time I'll make sure to kill you."- After this he left. Yamikumo thought about calling the police, but it would be useless. By the time they arrive, Shigaraki will be long gone. So, he decided to continue shopping.

No other major events occurred after that.

…

Izumi was heading back home after shopping a lot of stuff. She was happy, she never did something like this before. But the best thing was that she managed to spend a lot of time with Mina.

Before reaching her house, she met Toshinori. – "All Might… I mean Toshinori-san. What are you doing here?"- She asked.

- "I just came to tell you one thing. You have a week off before camp. Right"-

- "Yes."-

- "You see, I was invited to an event on I-island and was allowed to bring someone with me. So, I decided to bring you with me. If you want, of course."-

- "The I-Island?! Where is the I-Expo taking place?! Of course, I want to go!"-

- "Good. Here is the ticket. Pack your bags and tell your mother, we're leaving in two days."-

- "Yes!"- She said before leaving to her home. – "I can't believe I'm going to the I-Expo!"-

Chapter 673 - 20-22
