Well, the tournament hasn’t even started yet, and there are already problems.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVNUSLDvu1
Shinso’s team wanted to back out due to them not remembering anything during the human cavalry match. All due to Shinso’s quirk, apparently. One of them was Tetsutesu, who was about to start a fight with Shinso right there.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSqgsGTf7I
It was only thanks to Kendo from class B convincing him to stay in the tournament to pay back Shinso properly that things settled down.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8F5770S0P
The whole ordeal actually got Midnight’s loving approval. The integrity and youthful energy were enough for her to approve the withdrawals. Especially since the number was an even 22. Everything was ready to continue.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUBYExOOHd
That was until someone else tried to pull out, a person who surprised everyone.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwSTwB0Jkb
Shiho: “I would also like to withdraw from the tournament.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LGQglnXiC
Midnight: “Oh, and what’s your reason?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIBy1WXXVl
Shiho: “My quirk is not really suited to combat. I don’t see a point. But I could do it if I were given a gun or something. I’m pretty good with those.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zsZp3XpeP
Everyone: “A gun!?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F3vQVcP6d
Kirishima: “What is she trying to do, kill us?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVGcKNcuNg
Mina: “To be fair, this whole festival has been trying to do that.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdo6xqlQHF
Kaoru: “Come on, Shiho, how about just a sword or something? A gun is… a bit far.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95XFiFzLso
Shiho: “I suppose. And think Ms.Creation over there could create one for me. That would be nice.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rSsWM74fR
Shiho and everyone else look towards Momo, who was still deep in thought.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0BcaYyzLi
Momo: “H-Huh?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzKVikjuc1
Shiho: “I said, could you create a sword for me? That way I can participate in the tournament, and we can have an even number.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VkRYTRodg
Even though Momo was stuck in her mind for a bit, it didn’t take her long to realize what was happening. She couldn’t really say no; otherwise there would be an awkward odd number.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YleXjgb6A
But if Shiho can have what is essentially a support item, then so could everyone else. Besides, she knows Mei will use hers.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQDMv2IoBB
Momo: “Of course. If it also means I can create some things for Kyoka as well.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6bt20a4a1
Jiro: “H-huh? Y-You don’t have to do that.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdP8evZI3e
Momo: “It’s fine, I want to. You shine the best when you have your own specialized equipment.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlqhv5W8sT
Jiro: “T-Thanks, Momo.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGrof12eMt
Shiho smiles at the pair before turning back to Midnight.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFCHOD81O9
Shiho: “So, would that be fine, Midnight?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ3l6FOl7Y
Midnight: “Such heartwarming friendship! Of course, I approve! It will also allow us to keep an even number, so that’s a plus.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ04TAGPz0
With permission granted, Momo created a katana for Shiho. It wasn’t as sharp as it could be but it will still do damage if the opponent is not careful.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCmYPQB3BI
When Momo handed it to Shiho, the young esper’s eyes flashed a light blue.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2do0rcFRk
Shiho: “Thank you, I’ll be sure to put this to good use.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd9GvXmoVD
Momo notices nothing and simply nods before walking towards Jiro. She creates something else Izuku and she have been theorizing about.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlNWbrC8VP
Momo: “Here, Kyoka, Midoriya and I came up with this during our training. Inspired by some old comics, it should help focus your quirk. Like the boots in your hero costume, but not as powerful.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR55G1VMCrD
Jiro is handed what seems like a wrist-mounted blaster with a hole for her earphone jacks.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs1hI6xwWS
Jiro: “Heh, Sannomiya is the one who asked for a gun, and yet I’m the one getting it. Still, thanks, Momo.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrMnnsT0xR
Momo: “I know you’ll do great.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkOiGRlslI
They smile and nod at each other before returning back to the front.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvff7iYDHt
Midnight: “All right, now that everything is in order, it is time to determine who fights whom through lottery. Once the match ups are decided, the fighters prepare for five to ten minutes while everyone else can view the battle in the reserved stands.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FbvsSa3tI
With the plan set, everyone picked a number randomly from the box in Midnight’s hands. After 10 minutes, the match ups for the first round were decided.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKlx6ZUpoV
Midoriya vs Shinso
Todoroki vs Sero
Tae vs Nogami
Ibara vs Denki
Ida vs Hatsume
Ashido vs Jiro
Kirishima vs Tetsutetsu
Bakugo vs Uraraka
Kanto vs Honenuki
Akashi vs Tokoyami
Yaoyorozu vs Sannomiya
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbfewKmGwE
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSzQY0S3Av
The reactions were varied.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn5xDRJy9U
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0qOWLsHEJ
Momo looked at Shiho, who smiled back at her. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to give her that sword.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD9H9p7Gvx
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tMx4vWnNr
Next was Bakugo, who seemed confused at who he was going to fight.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHOluO58gn
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJHKsaIpsl
Bakugo: “Uraraka?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzSpnw1aZC
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMxLkYT11o
Uraraka: “EEEEK!”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhbUxJ0RM6
Mei, seeing another opportunity to advertise her babies, approached her opponent.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROQz1woL4W
Mei: “Are you Ida?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UiiIf9YRd
Ida: “Hm? I am.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8osEifUdi
Mei: “Scooooore!! I’m happy, since actually… ”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnoNvczDX0
Then there is the young esper, Izuku Midoriya. His eyes narrow at where he is placed in the tournament.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDOVVOE14q
Izuku: ‘I’ll face Todoroki in round 2, and if I win… I’ll have to fight Kiri.’
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5vBn7n3ho
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyhxoglgQr
He shakes his head, banishing any worrying thoughts.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gNgiyuqga
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDkwpQYpLa
Izuku: ‘I shouldn’t worry about that now! It won’t matter if I lose here! My opponent is thatShinso guy. I have to prep-’
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPOXsblhhz
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgs1QRbRtd
Shinso: “It’s you, correct? Midoriya Izuku?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21cey7KS9x
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmjcXSJh9s
Izuku: “Huh!? Oh, yeah, that’s me.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDh3ozC66b
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxWcO2gvrE
Shinso: “Mmm, good luck. You’ll need it.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW07uYPxIeJ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSrw6csYGt
As Shinso walks away, Izuku feels something, but he can’t really put his finger on it. Tetsutesu saw the exchange and clicked his tongue in annoyance before joining everyone else.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNXj9M83qW
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacS8nhXhDo
Finally, there was Kiri. She had no doubt her brother would win his matches. She’ll probably win as well. That means they’ll have to fight against each other.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXePePVIaA
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjdonyhtaH
She breathes out and accepts this fact. She doesn’t want to fight him, but she won’t hold back.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcibDDYunV
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuJKhmbzBW
Kiri: ‘It wouldn’t be fair to him. He deserves my best, especially if I want him to give me his.’
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1fjFizEZC
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjArWmonkVW
She gives one last look at Izuku before joining her class in the stands.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKRfNNpUAM

Izuku takes a breath and steps out into the arena.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnLdTt27FT
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6J5zlEoGf
Izuku: ‘I can’t lose here. All Might and my family are expecting great things from me. I won’t let them down!’
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpi1Fu3WmY
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEREvMCRDD
He walks up to stand in front of Shinso, who rubs his neck in boredom.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilOiLfq5hQ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PscXLxudn
Present Mic: “MATCH ONE! The vice president of class 1-A, the department of heroics, Izuku Midoriya!! VERSUS!! Sorry, you haven’t done anything really notable or eye-catching yet! Department of general education, Hitoshi Shinso!”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWb2d3QJYB
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBt7K3ShrS

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW8fcKd4bd
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuvzGFgbZy
Present Mic: “Feel free to wound!! We have our recovery girl waiting in the wings!! But don’t go too far, nothing potentially lethal, or you’re out! If it goes too far; our Cementoss or the famous Tornado will step in. And trust me, you don’t want that happening!”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszKOxE9LQP
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCKmZXEQLh
Shinso: “You get it, don’t you, Izuku Midoriya? This is a battle to test your heart. If you have a strong vision for your future, then you can’t worry over how you realize it.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgga3sXdsk
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dsuWJYFPU
For some reason, those words… resonate with Izuku. He has a strong vision for his future. But he does worry about how he’ll realize it.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfY5aDg6pq

Izuku: “I do understand. But the how is just as important. And I’ll prove it now. I’m sorry, but I’m ringing you out.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR7x67kZcB
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1JboaI9pe
Izuku’s eyes flash green, his power ready to push Shinso clean off the stage. But Shinso doesn’t look worried; instead he softly laughs.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIB8iyq7T9
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY7klxce2q

Something was wrong. As soon as his mind touched Midoriya’s, Shinso was taken elsewhere.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2dn86w3CM
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHnB5sD3EM
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.

There are several buildings, large and ominous, shrouded by pitch black. They’re only visible at their peaks; the bases of each stretched infinitely down into the void.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9lOkQaa18

Something was watching him.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlH4PmE6ij
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHyijIniQA
His skin bristles as the intense sense of foreboding consumes him. They were hidden in those depths, small specks of pale light that looked like eyes. But that’s not what sends him running in the other direction, desperate for an exit.

It 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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZg2r3PBbz
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGYAt0Z3jP
But that small mercy is swallowed when he feels several tendrils bite into his body with their teeth. His screams of pain are swallowed by the shadows.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DcoWJWgpj

What he could hear was something slithering through his skin and veins. Something foreign was invading his mind, body, and soul.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFelUNB3ikO
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuIKFoWwmY
That something, when it fully took over, started to melt his body. Cell by cell, it was breaking him down to nothing. When everything is said and done, Shinso will join the prince under the green sun.

Only a second passed. In that second, Izuku lost consciousness, and Shinso’s mind and soul were taken. It wasn’t Izuku’s fault; Shinso shouldn’t have entered the boy’s mind without permission.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamO0V8zcW6
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsqoQhB9sS

Not when he can feel a growing shift within his mind.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx4LlyBiZo

Shiho: “An accident.”

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvQGcGxXMH

Sabrina: “I wasn’t that scary… was I?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1BlNXOHky
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWpAD5mHGI
Aoi: “No, but you were pretty… thorny.”

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X3bUAftpn
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWQilY7ruO
Shiho: “You know, it took all three of us to pull that off.”

Kaoru: “gah.”

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWqFp0Bs92
The three friends laugh, trying to lighten the atmosphere. But it didn’t affect Sabrina much. She was still focused on the future.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHaBkF4rtu
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0KUR50rTi
Sabrina: ‘If anyone, it should be me to face him. Especially considering his relationship with that Tae girl…’

Recovery Girl was taking care of Shinso in her office, and the results were… unbelievable. Right now, Aizawa and Vlad were there as well, hoping for some answers when Shinso wakes up. But all they got were more questions.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnskhsy3EG
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3OM7byL4Z
Vlad: “What do you mean he’s in more than perfect health?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0F0ODy3eV
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92BWW6rUGN
Recovery Girl: “I mean, his body is in a better condition than before he stepped foot on that stage. Even now, his body is being optimized by… something. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSwuN54aaI
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogzuMOlCDC
Vlad: “What kind of quirk could do this? Neither Shinso nor Midoriya has a quirk that can do it.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxh9KIsZsX
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngkLfAaNJ4
Aizawa: “Midoriya’s quirk is versatile, but this… is different.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6onGB1xbPW
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWWXF7my7q
Vlad: “With Tornado here, not to mention the Blizzard group, a villain couldn’t have done this.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcVfhc16hU
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIFmf39lS9
Aizawa: “So, we have no idea what happened.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt13bSwxSyJ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmiiJukaYE
Recovery Girl: “No, and I have no idea why the boy isn’t awake. Maybe the process needs to finish.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwwfuPcxy8
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8aI5rzTUk
Vlad: “And what then? What is he becoming?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2nSdliJzh
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rz8hmSO0k

Back in the villain's base, Apotheosis nearly broke his pen when he saw what happened. He was taking notes on everyone in the festival; it was a goldmine of data.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1McYs5suT
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R9Y4fJrFf
In particular, he found Mei Hatsume and her inventions to be interesting. That was a mind worth molding.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZTh9OJhoU
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3PoAGtjB5
But of course, it was his half-brother that took the real spotlight. And he did it by revealing his ability to mind-fuck his opponent. He still suffers nightmares from when Fubuki pulled that crap.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwzbCYXskm
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1olkhkb4m
Apotheosis: “Of course he can do that.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MfBAI5HNq
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s6J9ykIRQ
Azrael: “How comes the psychic disruptor?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN3qCNaRhI
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDYbaAEosy
Apotheosis: “… Along. Don’t rush perfection.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrJvyVQxju
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlr8GhqiYo
Tomura: “We don’t need perfection, strategist! We just need it to be able to take a hit.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb8Unka884
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZHzhaiKc7
Azrael: “Or be portable.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClaIqTSh7z
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeINeVjh22
Apotheosis: “Yeah, yeah. Where would you two be without me? I’ll get right on it.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDbfm8nCHL
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHduRIzDZuM
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba8qmY1enH
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwAVtSiEZr
Tomura: “What? Is it broken?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhu6JTNOTU
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeACDmAtYw
Azrael: “Unlikely, unless… ”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23ppDFzhRX
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpjbrmXAe9
Apotheosis: “Don’t look at me. I never touched it.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY8InGNqVv
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j7IbJJFq4
Just then, a voice came through. It sounded like someone on the verge of a panic attack.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Tw9cSrQj
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfo6aT5nw3
???: “You must kill that boy.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VInt5AmDb
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof6PQJNx5X
After a moment, they recognized the voice. Even Kurogiri stopped to look at the screen with confusion.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdqeMiGwUq
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXfjzQfSJB
Azrael: “Gyoro Gyoro? What is wrong?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDgZsTHS6s
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BVXKbXqQQ
Gyoro: “You must kill that boy.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJZdSUnbmi
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53jeOwG5bC
Apotheosis: “Yes, we know. It is on the to-do list.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ096TKhU2qX
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LYHBoFucM
Gyoro: “No, it will be your top priority from now on.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK9CrJkDSe
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11R6Re0m70
Tomura narrows his eyes at the TV and lets out a low growl.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggNgHB2z27
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnocifMLN5o
Tomura: “You are not sensei. You don’t get to order us around.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Lc73bQea
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy977r1rWhl
Gyoro: “Fool! This is more important than… ”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjETP9rGgRm
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPQpxvxMF2
The quirk beast took a breath before continuing.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbcCEIXKSz
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRsQxX2H6v
Gyoro: “Forgive me, I will inform All For One about this soon. I just didn’t think it was… true.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhsVEjArlU
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovDwQcZFOu
Apotheosis: “What?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s9OETuoX0
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulPCcJcb3f
Gyoro: “One of my… creations had the ability to see the future.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP6gKbga7v
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOpqIUWGR7
Apotheosis: “Bull.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaYnsgtKue
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHM0tPTmi2
Gyoro: “Believe what you will. But those visions nearly drove her mad. And almost every single one of them revolved around… that boy.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jnClx2VzA
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG82xskvvf
Tomura: “Him? That kid?!”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQDtbSGhas
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhFdMD6Xlb
Gyoro: “Like you all, he is only a caterpillar. But when he becomes a butterfly, he’ll be the death of us all. The Prince of The Green Sun and his twelve apostles, making this world his footstool.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86XmCmsXRA
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyDaavxsCg
Apotheosis: “That’s some… biblical stuff.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYDkmcS8RC
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93jwksz4ZP
Kurogiri: “Are you sure about this?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh2YP6vQQw
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NfXfT1k9v
Gyoro: “Yes. That’s why he must die. Make sure to kill the child he fought as well. To be safe.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlVaRgzikx
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcswcdQK2s
Apotheosis: “Well, well, well, in this context, aren’t we the good guys?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw6L0mU7JH
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv702hMEtS
Apotheosis scoffs at the notion of seeing the future. The future is not set; no one can see it. Not concretely or that far, like what Gyoro is suggesting.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX2NGc0Ktz
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6RZQyjTo4
But one of them does take this seriously.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaFO9UUD8j
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLkPMrMyVZ
Azrael: “I’ll do it.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AsgRlZ5pa
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9HKmGgYXs
They all look at the very serious looking Azrael.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5xBFmeqeB
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ln0EAswlu
Apotheosis: “What? You know he’s mine. It should be me who kills him.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFez3kfUnFz
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenajSMwPN1
Azrael: “If Gyoro is right, this is too important to mess up. Perfect the psychic disruptor, then I’ll go and kill him. Do I have your permission, Tomura?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwspNVUw1cs
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwduWGSbRey
Tomura: “… Do what you want. I don’t believe Gyoro, but this will mean we will have one less annoying hero to worry about.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpiZOfB0R0
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcDfr7hcM8
Apotheosis: “Seriously! Just because some quirk beast freak spouts some nonsense, you’ll take my vengeance!?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLl9iRKcE6
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4UWCpcM1U
Azrael: “You’ll still get to do what you want with Blizzard and Tornado. Leave the boy to me, Theo. Trust me.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm44PaaG8sU
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6MEPDKUJo
The two have a stare-down, one Apotheosis is losing. Even now, he can’t really argue with Azrael. Not when he seems so hellbent on it.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUdLRqOK39
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ2Xp5LJdm
Apotheosis: “You better make him suffer and deliver his broken body to Tatsumaki.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJvimJugXb
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEJypI8Lpb
Azrael: “Don’t worry, I’ll even record it if possible.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUSlNQ7Tt7
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC5avdg2uI
Apotheosis: “Good.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIsEvd4Jqz
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRiiXnYyh3
Gyoro: “So he’ll die?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cfqAc4uTU
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcJBA5fmHf
Tomura: “Yeah, he’s as good as gone.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD80SUmRHEU
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY88tR1LnU
Gyoro: “… Good. I… my creation can rest easy. I’m sorry for using up your time.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77jHBIP2JB
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aG9HgI5KG
The TV turns off as Gyoro cuts the connection. The room is left in silence as plans are made. Azrael takes a breath and thinks on the future.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6UHAKP2Ho
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1WLgnqMIh
Azrael: ‘Before he dies, I need to know… why him? All Might…’
