Because of the Sports Festival yesterday, U.A. had no classes this morning, giving everyone a break. However, in the afternoon, everyone gathered in Class A again, but the atmosphere in the class was clearly more... enthusiastic?
That's right, that's the word.
Although everyone was a competitor during the Sports Festival, all of that became a thing of the past after it ended. They saw their companions' victories and achievements with a mindset of "blessing." Even the stubborn Bakugo Katsuki was just unwilling to lose. Although he said more than once, "I'll definitely win next time!" he never denied Shoto Todoroki's victory.
However, two people seemed a little strange.
"Yaoyorozu-san, do you know... where sensei is planning to go?"
When Todoroki came over and asked this, Momo Yaoyorozu looked baffled, as if she didn't quite understand what Shoto Todoroki meant.
"When I woke up, sensei was already gone, and there was only a letter next to me. Outside, there was only one breakfast left..."
Shoto Todoroki said and took out a folded letter from his pocket and handed it to Momo Yaoyorozu.
「I have some things to deal with and might be gone for a while.」
It was a very simple sentence, but for some reason, Shoto Todoroki always felt that something was not right. Momo Yaoyorozu also felt a little strange after reading it, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was. However, she thought of one person.
"All Might-sensei might know something."
After class, Momo Yaoyorozu and Shoto Todoroki went to All Might's office together, and at this time, All Might also looked curious.
"Is there something? Lancer? He did come to see me, but..."
All Might's expression was a little awkward at this time. It wasn't that he and Lancer had some unspeakable deal; it was just that the matter Lancer went to deal with didn't seem suitable to tell the two of them.
Seeing All Might's expression, the two of them exchanged glances, and Momo Yaoyorozu, who was better at communicating, also stepped forward.
"All Might-sensei, although we don't know why you are unwilling to say, we just want to know if Lancer-sensei is in any danger?"
"Well, because of the association's rules, I can't tell you the specific situation, but I can tell you that Lancer should not be in any danger this time. He went to complete a commission from the Hero Association."
"Is that so..."
It wasn't until Shoto Todoroki and Momo Yaoyorozu left the room that All Might breathed a sigh of relief.
It has to be said that people like All Might are indeed not very good at lying, but he didn't lie completely. The reason Lancer left was indeed because of a commission from the association, or a "deal."
Although All Might and the principal of U.A. chose to believe Lancer, it must be said that Lancer criminal record was still there, and a recent event, for some reason, brought up Lancer, who had been temporarily suppressed, again.
'Hero Killer'
This was a "quirk criminal" that had recently appeared. Several "pro heroes" had already died at his hands.
In fact, at first, although the Hero Association guessed that someone had attacked those pro heroes, no one expected that these cases were all done by the same person. Then, there is no doubt that in addition to this "Hero Killer," the most recent "quirk criminal" case was also brought up. Lancer was undoubtedly affected, and All Might called Lancer this morning. As for the reason, it was simple: "Do you want to be whitewashed?"
Although the original words were not this, it was close to this meaning. It was obvious that All Might hoped that Lancer could use this case to completely get rid of his current status as a "wanted criminal." As for Lancer true identity?
Whether it was he himself or the other teachers at U.A., they all had a rough guess, but because it was too incredible, they were all selectively forgotten. They even selectively ignored why he appeared here. But everyone had a consensus, and that was to try not to conflict with Lancer. Maybe All Might could subdue Lancer if he went all out, but the problem was, could All Might go all out now?
So, after Lancer showed a certain amount of goodwill, All Might decisively chose to take the "olive branch" that Lancer extended. Now it was time to completely solve all of this!
As for danger?
Although that Hero Killer sounded powerful, it was absolutely impossible for him to surpass All Might. So this seemingly grand mission was actually just an opportunity for Lancer to be whitewashed!
But the question is, will everything go according to their plan?
In fact, when Lancer received a call from All Might early in the morning, he was stunned for two seconds. After all, he had basically never used this phone since he got it. But when the other party asked him if he knew the "Hero Killer," he was stunned for another two seconds.
Did he know him? Of course, he did, so his answer was, "I've never met him."
Lancer answer was very decisive, and All Might didn't seem to have the intention to dig deeper. He directly told him about the "whitewashing" matter, and Lancer also readily agreed. Anyway, it was beneficial to him and had no harm. But then he felt a little strange again.
The character "Hero Killer" was a very eye-catching character in the "plot" in his memory.
Whether it was his ordinary quirk or his display of extremely strong fighting power through his personal strength, the fact that he saved Izuku Midoriya in the end changed him from a simple "villain" to a "character that is hard to define."
If you look at it from the perspective of an "ordinary person," the other party killed people and almost crippled Tenya Iida's older brother, so he was undoubtedly a bad guy. If you look at it from his starting point, he had a "anti-hero" feeling.
So Lancer decided to contact the other party personally.
If he had to say what his biggest takeaway from going to so many worlds was, it would be that you can't generalize everything through the "plot."
Whether it's "good people" or "bad people," they are all living beings. They all have their own joys and sorrows, and they all have their own "causes and effects" when making decisions.
But there was still the biggest problem. Although the Hero Killer had already made a move, his whereabouts had always been a mystery. Although Lancer had taken on the mission to deal with him, he actually didn't know where the other party would appear. Following the "timeline," he didn't know how long he would have to wait, but Lancer knew one of his targets: "Ingenium."
And as expected, it should be very soon!
