"Yuki, what's the situation?" As someone who was talked into becoming a vigilante, Shinsou was too lazy to think of a costume and decided to wear the beanie and fox mask that Shina had originally given Todoroki.

Yuki was the vigilante name of Todoroki, who was symbolized he was the ice quirk user of the duo. While Shinsou's name was Hira, which symbolized he was the fire quirk user. Of course, the name was just a diversion to throw people off. Shinsou couldn't use fire, it just allowed for Todoroki to use both fire and ice quirks without giving away his identity which worked well because Shinsou's quirk was undetectable through sight alone. Together they formed the vigilante duo, Yukihira.

"The target is in the park and has yet to use the Trigger. But he's beginning to get suspicious because the park is clearing out. Hurry it up." Todoroki was wearing his new vigilante costume and was high up from a vantage point, looking down on the park while talking to Shinsou on the phone.

Only the sound of water splashing from a nearby fountain and the leaves rustled whenever the wind blew were heard as Shinsou was getting people to leave the park and get them away from harm.

"Umm…excuse me." Shinsou approached each person within the vicinity of the park.

And the moment someone responded, they were under Shinsou's control. He directed them all civilians away from the park and with all the people following some strange masked person, from an outsiders' perspective it just looked like some strange cult.

"Okay, you're good to go." Shinsou spoke into his phone.

"Well, no matter how aware he is now, it's too late." Todoroki clashed his fire and ice together to shroud the park in a thick mist. Todoroki dropped down from his vantage point and touched the target, instantly freezing him. Todoroki then stripped the target of his Trigger and destroyed it with his flames.

"So we're just going to leave him in that ice? He could freeze to death." Shinsou pointed to the person they had apprehended.

"We're leaving it to the police. We caught the bad guy before he used Trigger. That's all that matters." Todoroki walked ahead of him.

"But Yuki, he didn't use the Trigger. Other than the Trigger we just destroyed, there's no evidence that he did anything wrong."

"I'm not going to stake someone out, just to wait for them to harm someone. There's no evidence that this person was going to cause harm others. But I don't want to wait for that evidence. Him buying that Trigger means he had the intention, which is good enough for me."

"People might need see it that way. We can't be seen as heroic vigilantes if we keep catching people who look like they've done nothing wrong. In fact, I'd argue we're beginning to look like villains. We've been vigilantes for three weeks and in that time, we've only stopped one legitimate threat, that Sight Speed Hideo person…and that was you by yourself! The other 6 people we've stopped have been in possession of Trigger but we destroy that evidence before the police gets their hands on it!"

"I'm hearing you Hira. Gimme your Trigger, we'll plant it on our latest target."

Shinsou or rather Hira, gave Todoroki the trigger that was lingering in his pocket. Todoroki then walked back to their target and placed the Trigger into his pockets.

"Now it just looks like we're framing the guy!" Shinsou facepalmed his mask. "Next time and from now on, just leave the Trigger with them, please."


"Look, these guys made the news again!" Kaminari alerted everyone in the classroom as he scrolled through his phone reading the headlines.

In the photo, featured a hooded figure wearing a tattered up black coat, and a thin face mask. Beside that was another person who was wearing a beanie and fox mask. Together, the two people in the poster posed with one hand on the large piece of ice which encased a person who was assumed to be a villain.

"Yukihira again?" Jirou was shoulder to shoulder with Kaminari reading off his phone which made him turn a shade of red from the contact.

"Yukihira? The fire and ice vigilante duo that's been making waves roaming the streets lately?! Midoriya analyzed the vigilantes and rambled on to himself whilst writing in his notebook, "With their fire and ice quirks they are said to create a thick mist. Allowing them to appear out of nowhere and take away the use of their opponent's sight-"

"There he goes, nerding out again." Bakugou didn't really care for their conversation and turned his head in the other direction.

"Hmmm. Isn't it strange?"

"What is it Iida?" Uraraka asked.

"Those people call themselves vigilantes but were previous targeting random civilians or those in possession of the quirk enhancing drug.

"They might have some vendetta against the drug. They remind me of you. I wonder why that is." Yaoyorozu nudged Todoroki who was calmly sitting by his desk.

"It's because they of their ice quirk and fire quirk. But I don't care about this 'Yukihira' duo. It has nothing to do with me." Todoroki tapped the back of his right hand onto Yaoyorozu's cheek and then whispered in her ear. "Not."

"Ahhhh, cold! Okay, okay! Sorry." Yaoyorozu pushed his hand away and rubbed her cheeks to warm up.

"Back when the quirk outbreak happened, vigilantes were normal. Society had to go undergo changes and the result of that, was the regulation of heroes. As much as it's nice to see people doing good in the world. They're from a time long ago. Now they're just heroes who weren't qualified by hero standards or people that don't wish to abide by the law." Aizawa broke the glorified illusion of vigilantism. "I mean, I'm fine with having a moral code and all but heroes are not above the law."

"It's fine isn't it?" Todoroki got out of his seat and confronted Aizawa . "There are some heroes that follow the law and aren't all what they seem." Todoroki was referring to Endeavor.

Iida added onto what Todoroki said, "And the Hero Killer, Stain, was saying that there are some heroes that only care about glory, money and popularity.

"But at the very least, those heroes are registered, qualified professionals that are allowed to take action!" Aizawa retaliated, continuing this argument with Todoroki.

"And vigilantes provide help for the public. It's like volunteer work." Todoroki rebutted.

"Like The Crawler, right?" Midoriya was well aware of vigilantes and even looked up to some of them.

"Vigilantes are unsanctioned. If they cause trouble, they can choose to not take responsibility for their actions. To maintain order there are heroes and the police force. Vigilantes are neither of those, they're just people who weren't allowed to be heroes!" Aizawa sighed and cracked his neck, "Look Todoroki, I'm not discrediting the importance of the deeds that vigilantes such as Yukihira have done. I just want you to know that there is always a risk factor when it comes to vigilantes. It raises the question of 'why don't they just become certified heroes?' And when you delve down to it-"

"A person has the option to be part of the police force or a certified hero but instead they choose to be a vigilante. A blatant reason would be that think they're above the law…right, Aizawa-sensei?" Midoriya continued on his teacher's train of thought. "And so far, the actions of Yukihira have been pretty reckless, I'd say."

"Midoriya…If I recall. You saved Bakugou from a sludge villain. You weren't a hero. You didn't have a license. Because you couldn't help but stick your nose in to save somebody. You could have been hurt or worse, that in itself is the definition of being reckless. Vigilantes think like that too. They can't help but be heroes in their own way. You don't know their circumstances. Their intentions and actions of goodwill should be enough!" Todoroki lost his cool, he was no longer his typical calm self. Being a vigilante himself, he had a good reason for taking part in the discussion.

"Wow, sounds like as a little kid, when things went sour with your dad, you rejected the idea of being a hero like him and instead, had thoughts of being a vigilante." Kaminari tried to give a reason for why Todoroki was so investing on the topic of vigilantes.

"Maybe he just felt a connection with Yukihira. Ya know, with the fire plus ice quirks and all." Kirishima chimed in.

Todoroki had trapped himself. By vouching for vigilantes there was a growing suspicion from his classmates.

"I…I...It just felt like before the provisional license exam, since we weren't certified, we were all vigilantes in our own way. Hahaha…" Todoroki let out a light chuckle. "That was a terrible lie."

"You know what'd be cool?" Mina skipped right over to Todoroki and stared him straight in the eyes, "If secretly, you teamed up with one of your siblings and were masquerading around as Yukihira! One half is ice! The other is fire! So cool!"

Todoroki's face froze. He broke out in a cold sweat and then robotically turned his head towards Yaoyorozu, who had the same fear filled expression as he did. Silence filled the room and it gave time for everyone think about what Mina had just said.

"But nah! I just don't see it. There's no need for you to become a vigilante. You're basically a shoo-in to be a pro hero!" Mina laughed to herself.

Iida spoke up, "That's right! Class! There's no need to doubt Todoroki. Through and through he has proven to be a hero beyond all else. I will not tolerate this topic any longer."

Aizawa-sensei glanced over at Todoroki, "All Might, you were right. Ever since his suspension, Todoroki has been acting differently."

"It's almost as if he's ready to be expelled."

"And now he's here, defending the vigilantes? This is out of character for him. I don't like it this feeling. I'll keep an eye out in case he is related to this Yukihira character."


At midnight, Todoroki had decided to sneak out of Heights Alliance after receiving a text from Shina. It was late enough in the night that his classmates had already gone to sleep or huddling inside their dorm room. He had to tiptoe as to not alert any of his classmate with his sudden absence. And the moment he left the building, a voice called out to Todoroki.

"What could you be doing this late at night?" Aizawa stood by with his arms crossed like a parent ready to discipline their child.

"I could be asking you the same time. I'd expect you to already be asleep. You love your sleep."

"Don't be cheeky with me Todoroki. Just answer the question."

"Damn. I've been waiting three weeks for Shina to respond back on how Trigger could get smuggled into Yuuei! The day she's finally ready to tell me and Aizawa-sensei is on me like a hawk. If I play it off as a coincidence and go back inside my dorm for the night, then I might lose my chance on obtaining the information. If I go to Shina, then Sensei's going to be suspicious, hell, he might figure everything out on the spot!"

"Well?" Aizawa was getting impatient, he was now tapping his finger as his arms remained cross. Clearly he just wanted to go to sleep but making sure his students didn't misbehave was on a higher priority, he didn't want another incident like when Midoriya and Bakugou fought.

"Uhh…" Todoroki was thinking of which approach to take.

"Am I interrupting something here?"

"Yes, I was in the middle of-"

"Now, you must be incredibly tired, go to sleep."

Aizawa suddenly started headed back to room on another area of the Yuuei campus without a complaint.

"Thank you, Shinsou. I had no idea what to say to him." Todoroki appreciated the effort of Shinsou's good timing.

"You were going to say an unbelievable lie, that's what. Now let's go meet that contact of yours. I've been waiting to hear their answer."

Todoroki took one last look at his teacher who was still forced to follow the command Shinsou had given him. "You're already suspecting me, looks like I'm losing your trust. But you have to trust me that this information is going to be for the greater good. Sorry…Aizawa-sensei."
