Well, the tournament hasn’t even started yet, and there are already problems.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dj7nUoZbj
Shinso’s team wanted to back out due to them not remembering anything during the human cavalry match. All due to Shinso’s quirk, apparently. One of them was Tetsutesu, who was about to start a fight with Shinso right there.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmclIuhL8y
It was only thanks to Kendo from class B convincing him to stay in the tournament to pay back Shinso properly that things settled down.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EGYSx21zr
The whole ordeal actually got Midnight’s loving approval. The integrity and youthful energy were enough for her to approve the withdrawals. Especially since the number was an even 22. Everything was ready to continue.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rn1xAJ9cc
That was until someone else tried to pull out, a person who surprised everyone.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQJKAllSWE
Shiho: “I would also like to withdraw from the tournament.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLFX7ssIzb
Midnight: “Oh, and what’s your reason?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYgPrf8mXz
Shiho: “My quirk is not really suited to combat. I don’t see a point. But I could do it if I were given a gun or something. I’m pretty good with those.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcw84MkxyT
Everyone: “A gun!?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVtZzqKUxZ
Kirishima: “What is she trying to do, kill us?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJVu1CsfF4
Mina: “To be fair, this whole festival has been trying to do that.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ9mAh72VM
Kaoru: “Come on, Shiho, how about just a sword or something? A gun is… a bit far.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVgtwTEi3a
Shiho: “I suppose. And think Ms.Creation over there could create one for me. That would be nice.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRgPJrolFB
Shiho and everyone else look towards Momo, who was still deep in thought.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN38hftx0Jv
Momo: “H-Huh?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0htOLok0dT
Shiho: “I said, could you create a sword for me? That way I can participate in the tournament, and we can have an even number.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvldL4UW4a
Even though Momo was stuck in her mind for a bit, it didn’t take her long to realize what was happening. She couldn’t really say no; otherwise there would be an awkward odd number.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO60Y3Ezq9G
But if Shiho can have what is essentially a support item, then so could everyone else. Besides, she knows Mei will use hers.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZobQdiT46A
Momo: “Of course. If it also means I can create some things for Kyoka as well.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg6fIhwpkZ
Jiro: “H-huh? Y-You don’t have to do that.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6dqU8rKV4
Momo: “It’s fine, I want to. You shine the best when you have your own specialized equipment.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8EdTMsRIi
Jiro: “T-Thanks, Momo.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwxtdyUTMp
Shiho smiles at the pair before turning back to Midnight.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu85U8tNsn
Shiho: “So, would that be fine, Midnight?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAVL8lY9v3
Midnight: “Such heartwarming friendship! Of course, I approve! It will also allow us to keep an even number, so that’s a plus.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMGwxwrPYq
With permission granted, Momo created a katana for Shiho. It wasn’t as sharp as it could be but it will still do damage if the opponent is not careful.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpQAMQgia5
When Momo handed it to Shiho, the young esper’s eyes flashed a light blue.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxDAGXqWPw
Shiho: “Thank you, I’ll be sure to put this to good use.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWdr5bgoRz
Momo notices nothing and simply nods before walking towards Jiro. She creates something else Izuku and she have been theorizing about.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BvVFhr6S2
Momo: “Here, Kyoka, Midoriya and I came up with this during our training. Inspired by some old comics, it should help focus your quirk. Like the boots in your hero costume, but not as powerful.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddvH3PCQRH
Jiro is handed what seems like a wrist-mounted blaster with a hole for her earphone jacks.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCmAqhZ6OQ
Jiro: “Heh, Sannomiya is the one who asked for a gun, and yet I’m the one getting it. Still, thanks, Momo.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaENVO0lxx
Momo: “I know you’ll do great.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhgE110esn
They smile and nod at each other before returning back to the front.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFbnzGIUzt
Midnight: “All right, now that everything is in order, it is time to determine who fights whom through lottery. Once the match ups are decided, the fighters prepare for five to ten minutes while everyone else can view the battle in the reserved stands.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt6eyHq1xz
With the plan set, everyone picked a number randomly from the box in Midnight’s hands. After 10 minutes, the match ups for the first round were decided.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LvXUg6so7
Midoriya vs Shinso
Todoroki vs Sero
Tae vs Nogami
Ibara vs Denki
Ida vs Hatsume
Ashido vs Jiro
Kirishima vs Tetsutetsu
Bakugo vs Uraraka
Kanto vs Honenuki
Akashi vs Tokoyami
Yaoyorozu vs Sannomiya
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPTMbWslZs
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQQr8q8SQ0
The reactions were varied.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMDGRhku2d
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHgbVVR0Ec
Momo looked at Shiho, who smiled back at her. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to give her that sword.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHEsBpSXO2
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UUL7V0hjR
Next was Bakugo, who seemed confused at who he was going to fight.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwQ8HVsoB2
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgrwoROV58
Bakugo: “Uraraka?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxEUFTJLwj
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf70qHzNHqa
Uraraka: “EEEEK!”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFy6J1eHkp
Mei, seeing another opportunity to advertise her babies, approached her opponent.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ481ri7DFmp
Mei: “Are you Ida?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL78LNNTU0
Ida: “Hm? I am.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWNSKIzQAO
Mei: “Scooooore!! I’m happy, since actually… ”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZfzvNwFJ3
Then there is the young esper, Izuku Midoriya. His eyes narrow at where he is placed in the tournament.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNIxXlhFkv
Izuku: ‘I’ll face Todoroki in round 2, and if I win… I’ll have to fight Kiri.’
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pJFZVQ50C
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvCoYrC006
He shakes his head, banishing any worrying thoughts.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIchWqqgvYk
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOzCy32Lfz
Izuku: ‘I shouldn’t worry about that now! It won’t matter if I lose here! My opponent is thatShinso guy. I have to prep-’
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanhlvNB4d2
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuH3sIoWqv
Shinso: “It’s you, correct? Midoriya Izuku?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3a3veD3lV
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk5vBgz6Gl
Izuku: “Huh!? Oh, yeah, that’s me.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKvNplqXMS
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7JoV6aZ5F
Shinso: “Mmm, good luck. You’ll need it.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIajHHk7ha
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MVxUEvRgQ
As Shinso walks away, Izuku feels something, but he can’t really put his finger on it. Tetsutesu saw the exchange and clicked his tongue in annoyance before joining everyone else.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8reyAiTkf
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEcpfp0uMr
Finally, there was Kiri. She had no doubt her brother would win his matches. She’ll probably win as well. That means they’ll have to fight against each other.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAeOpmKcL7
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7Xl6Y4MdK
She breathes out and accepts this fact. She doesn’t want to fight him, but she won’t hold back.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2KzspPLc1
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbMVqqWZ5E
Kiri: ‘It wouldn’t be fair to him. He deserves my best, especially if I want him to give me his.’
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcKBDI5M1W
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdhJYWAMAA
She gives one last look at Izuku before joining her class in the stands.

255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzMjO14CKX
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL3PbfgOA1
Izuku takes a breath and steps out into the arena.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TFzQ3feTd
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4GPoYl6tB
Izuku: ‘I can’t lose here. All Might and my family are expecting great things from me. I won’t let them down!’
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNkaKwkG6w
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcmSda071l
He walks up to stand in front of Shinso, who rubs his neck in boredom.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYKmztIXEJ
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAsMXaRdyR
Present Mic: “MATCH ONE! The vice president of class 1-A, the department of heroics, Izuku Midoriya!! VERSUS!! Sorry, you haven’t done anything really notable or eye-catching yet! Department of general education, Hitoshi Shinso!”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAXM8Ay90U
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOtYyyN3sO

255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XtIBIeDkW
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05KAJLzWFD
Present Mic: “Feel free to wound!! We have our recovery girl waiting in the wings!! But don’t go too far, nothing potentially lethal, or you’re out! If it goes too far; our Cementoss or the famous Tornado will step in. And trust me, you don’t want that happening!”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uO9Lc4ZY0
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo9kogkYL5
Shinso: “You get it, don’t you, Izuku Midoriya? This is a battle to test your heart. If you have a strong vision for your future, then you can’t worry over how you realize it.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpoCTPs9ib
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxjaqJC9rL
For some reason, those words… resonate with Izuku. He has a strong vision for his future. But he does worry about how he’ll realize it.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvIJ5sHqMd
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ142v7vFXGF
Present Mic: “REAAAADYYYYY?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAQCQDAYEa
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU25RLx6Cs
Izuku: “I do understand. But the how is just as important. And I’ll prove it now. I’m sorry, but I’m ringing you out.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmzyNEbI8i
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL0YPXvzSm
Izuku’s eyes flash green, his power ready to push Shinso clean off the stage. But Shinso doesn’t look worried; instead he softly laughs.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIoPDliNGV
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ1pGb0Hsp
Shinso: “I’m not.”

Something was wrong. As soon as his mind touched Midoriya’s, Shinso was taken elsewhere.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8IALxSU44
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZNz81aoK2
It looked like a large, empty street. It’s night, or at least very dark. The white streetlights were the only source of light. Seems normal, but he knew better. He can feel it in the distance.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM0n4BKxvC
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ihj5Od5iV
There are several buildings, large and ominous, shrouded by pitch black. They’re only visible at their peaks; the bases of each stretched infinitely down into the void.

Something was watching him.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsEcupqkJX
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgWHrVDxPU
His skin bristles as the intense sense of foreboding consumes him. They were hidden in those depths, small specks of pale light that looked like eyes. But that’s not what sends him running in the other direction, desperate for an exit.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrVhVVgOGO

255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9Xch6SvdK

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

Shinso stops, his body not his own, and turns around to bow his head in deference. The only saving grace was that he no longer had to see the creature.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyphiu5obO
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmuGWiT9GP
But that small mercy is swallowed when he feels several tendrils bite into his body with their teeth. His screams of pain are swallowed by the shadows.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByTCWof65X
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJSMtzqdAv
What he could hear was something slithering through his skin and veins. Something foreign was invading his mind, body, and soul.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbb3yejdwl
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokbg8liUTy
That something, when it fully took over, started to melt his body. Cell by cell, it was breaking him down to nothing. When everything is said and done, Shinso will join the prince under the green sun.

Only a second passed. In that second, Izuku lost consciousness, and Shinso’s mind and soul were taken. It wasn’t Izuku’s fault; Shinso shouldn’t have entered the boy’s mind without permission.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBRZmaC8Hz
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQL7RKWMUU
But Izuku wouldn’t see it that way, not when the first thing he hears is the bloodcurdling screams.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO2rP7spRD

Not when he can feel a growing shift within his mind.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTdwz3popx

Not when he sees Shinso fall back in abject terror. Eyes wide and sweat dripping down his face.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aq4UJ6t7x

255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC0ACgjiCk

Sabrina: “I wasn’t that scary… was I?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWgQGTdD88

Aoi: “No, but you were pretty… thorny.”

Shiho: “You know, it took all three of us to pull that off.”

Kaoru: “gah.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0565Z1XHa6
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM51vjFUWb
The three friends laugh, trying to lighten the atmosphere. But it didn’t affect Sabrina much. She was still focused on the future.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZlYAc1wZ5
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXninNkS6aG
Sabrina: ‘If anyone, it should be me to face him. Especially considering his relationship with that Tae girl…’

Recovery Girl was taking care of Shinso in her office, and the results were… unbelievable. Right now, Aizawa and Vlad were there as well, hoping for some answers when Shinso wakes up. But all they got were more questions.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD6Le1Tfy7
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdtwvQtThe
Vlad: “What do you mean he’s in more than perfect health?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUVAtVA6SW
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvilEVP0yv
Recovery Girl: “I mean, his body is in a better condition than before he stepped foot on that stage. Even now, his body is being optimized by… something. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO2y2T3LxL
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgmr5KkOZN
Vlad: “What kind of quirk could do this? Neither Shinso nor Midoriya has a quirk that can do it.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqqI5QQg2C
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K2ImY8zun
Aizawa: “Midoriya’s quirk is versatile, but this… is different.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG74dto4zEN
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28i8tC4vpO
Vlad: “With Tornado here, not to mention the Blizzard group, a villain couldn’t have done this.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfptPvjlQbE
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZOVqefDlh
Aizawa: “So, we have no idea what happened.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vLsAtGkjN
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBcjl3X0Wu
Recovery Girl: “No, and I have no idea why the boy isn’t awake. Maybe the process needs to finish.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVIJojknFZ
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX24hwes100
Vlad: “And what then? What is he becoming?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm3VI34nJy
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQFSJQcNKN

Back in the villain's base, Apotheosis nearly broke his pen when he saw what happened. He was taking notes on everyone in the festival; it was a goldmine of data.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxyBzz6tEw
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9ecemr8bm
In particular, he found Mei Hatsume and her inventions to be interesting. That was a mind worth molding.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx7rIAmPEP
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFmhVsGemH
But of course, it was his half-brother that took the real spotlight. And he did it by revealing his ability to mind-fuck his opponent. He still suffers nightmares from when Fubuki pulled that crap.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRJNq9KYV3
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0iOY6TvGv
Apotheosis: “Of course he can do that.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYk5wBBCH1
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0qsbCtldf
Azrael: “How comes the psychic disruptor?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndn5Wxtff1
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnC67n4rBW
Apotheosis: “… Along. Don’t rush perfection.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02sCA8lGZt
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD8bxDwxFX
Tomura: “We don’t need perfection, strategist! We just need it to be able to take a hit.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxWydQ8vka
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B2yNulM3k
Azrael: “Or be portable.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE2sitZolF
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpqeR4rU1p
Apotheosis: “Yeah, yeah. Where would you two be without me? I’ll get right on it.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnRMABv2uu
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk4SKWORr7
Apotheosis: ‘After I finish the current stage of my big project. If I can finish it, even Tatsumaki will have to bow before me.’

As he fantasizes about the future, the communication TV turns on. The villains expected it to be All For One, but instead it was only silence.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB34ms25O1N

Tomura: “What? Is it broken?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX9EpipSTj
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk9zcr8is4
Azrael: “Unlikely, unless… ”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EveDhQaKk
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpsULKwF36
Apotheosis: “Don’t look at me. I never touched it.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWIB4UTfKh
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPSzKGkebo
Just then, a voice came through. It sounded like someone on the verge of a panic attack.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq4SoJ5Fax
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4Glawqmhe
???: “You must kill that boy.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAThzou6zkI
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8h3VK4w6e
After a moment, they recognized the voice. Even Kurogiri stopped to look at the screen with confusion.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52oqjpzPxz
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1O81I0iui
Azrael: “Gyoro Gyoro? What is wrong?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbSYFnXqTS
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1vMAxO97h
Gyoro: “You must kill that boy.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlh1HapSoW
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEOlUeaQUc
Apotheosis: “Yes, we know. It is on the to-do list.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBhoN6t0jw
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwA2sPfLdM
Gyoro: “No, it will be your top priority from now on.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJapjf2vfc
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnqxEMc6Hj
Tomura narrows his eyes at the TV and lets out a low growl.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsqskBinOt
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggxJmQMPIS
Tomura: “You are not sensei. You don’t get to order us around.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPde9qHELh2
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHdHklcEpy
Gyoro: “Fool! This is more important than… ”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECeDkbcEI3
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4M2sGkiuu
The quirk beast took a breath before continuing.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJRnKz8cZT
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HIiGPWGKB
Gyoro: “Forgive me, I will inform All For One about this soon. I just didn’t think it was… true.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUxEXhCHfe
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK7WYXSeLn
Apotheosis: “What?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGdK6m4vzY
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl5BOkEq4x
Gyoro: “One of my… creations had the ability to see the future.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOcZO6ZCbe
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhpArGs3CA
Apotheosis: “Bull.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxuEGzHDh9
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJaz4tMCpQ
Gyoro: “Believe what you will. But those visions nearly drove her mad. And almost every single one of them revolved around… that boy.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxehFLbzMiG
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP8oAf6C30
Tomura: “Him? That kid?!”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYNTMvPIQ9
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2j16WsXK1
Gyoro: “Like you all, he is only a caterpillar. But when he becomes a butterfly, he’ll be the death of us all. The Prince of The Green Sun and his twelve apostles, making this world his footstool.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCt0OKMVn1
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRAJ51q1cF
Apotheosis: “That’s some… biblical stuff.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDcuYci2Ip
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNwg1D1EhC
Kurogiri: “Are you sure about this?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrQG4KqczE
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw8ARDfK9f
Gyoro: “Yes. That’s why he must die. Make sure to kill the child he fought as well. To be safe.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpJlEZSprr
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLnq3zFXa8
Apotheosis: “Well, well, well, in this context, aren’t we the good guys?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8Be69fEr3
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA9EK1HG3H
Apotheosis scoffs at the notion of seeing the future. The future is not set; no one can see it. Not concretely or that far, like what Gyoro is suggesting.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhopoTYlKR
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MpotgYmwB
But one of them does take this seriously.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1gSaTsvv7
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2yw31VG0n
Azrael: “I’ll do it.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UCUCRoqzk
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6bTTecpj4
They all look at the very serious looking Azrael.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKaa8npXVb
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fgy8cncon
Apotheosis: “What? You know he’s mine. It should be me who kills him.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3et1HxOZV
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTp02qQjF7
Azrael: “If Gyoro is right, this is too important to mess up. Perfect the psychic disruptor, then I’ll go and kill him. Do I have your permission, Tomura?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3Ag6gUCmW
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4a4ixO3Zk
Tomura: “… Do what you want. I don’t believe Gyoro, but this will mean we will have one less annoying hero to worry about.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvRFx9NGja
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViBHCIQAk8
Apotheosis: “Seriously! Just because some quirk beast freak spouts some nonsense, you’ll take my vengeance!?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTVuTnApOm
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNUzQ1g3gn
Azrael: “You’ll still get to do what you want with Blizzard and Tornado. Leave the boy to me, Theo. Trust me.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjq61rG4bZ
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlQgevOZ0Y
The two have a stare-down, one Apotheosis is losing. Even now, he can’t really argue with Azrael. Not when he seems so hellbent on it.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIlsqMnS6b
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJXwlw5P73
Apotheosis: “You better make him suffer and deliver his broken body to Tatsumaki.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZezJAOJ6wl
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5IUx8D5hV
Azrael: “Don’t worry, I’ll even record it if possible.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICetu1lGbj
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F0oQxT2MC
Apotheosis: “Good.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEo8a4MkyX
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLJg3vHEuv
Gyoro: “So he’ll die?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouK8L6Vhij
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxs5Gvld1F
Tomura: “Yeah, he’s as good as gone.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuMk4crDd1
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G2IZCXAIG
Gyoro: “… Good. I… my creation can rest easy. I’m sorry for using up your time.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jJ3D63PPm
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGAFwPOFhd
The TV turns off as Gyoro cuts the connection. The room is left in silence as plans are made. Azrael takes a breath and thinks on the future.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8mnAFbpTq
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLSflQbqKK
Azrael: ‘Before he dies, I need to know… why him? All Might…’
