HEY HEY HEY ! CHAPTER 29 OOF ! It's finally reaching the point if the story that I had been planning since ... well since chapter 5 to be honest, all this hard work, all these carefully placed little paw that had only one goal, to push all these wonderful characters to act exactly like I wanted ...
Nevermind, but before we get to the reviews corner I would like to thank Chronosign who helped me a lot by 'pre-reviewing' this chapter ! (Since I'm french I have next to 0 knowledge if this word works)

Uh ... *Uses google translate since he is a retard and doesn't remember anything from his spanish classes* ... oh Yes ! I'm glad it made you feel better ! I'm not necessarily giving Katuski a redemption, I hate bullies, trust me I had a long experience with this kind of human trash ... I'm just trying to establish a 'professional' relationship between the two of them.
Also wow, I didn't think I had a spanish community ^o^ hola ! Y Buena lectura.
Now for the last review ... NyaNyaKittyFace I really would like to put yours in the chapter but it's just too long, just you know, I really enjoy this kind of review in which you simply tell me how you felt with each moment of the story.
Thank you all so much !
They reached the compound before most of the other students, Mineta's screams seemed to get closer though.
They were greeted by a woman wearing the uniform of the wild wild pussycats in a red version "Ah, you must be Izuku and Ochaco, I hope you didn't make any undesirable encounter, we tried to keep the action as far away as possible from the civil track."
"We are fine, our friends seemed to have fun thought" answered Ochaco obviously referring to the students that didn't manage to stay focused.
"Oh yes, I have to admit you all are really impressive, we expected that you would have troubles getting to our compound, but instead you worked together and you easily made your way out of the forest. We were preparing lunch for your class and well ... we haven't brought out everything yet" She turned around when a young boy arrived outside the main building, carrying a bucket in his hands "Ah Kota ! You can drop it here we will do the rest, come say hello"
The boy named Kota dropped the bucket near a door and looked at Izuku and Ochaco ... he didn't look happy, Izuku couldn't translate his emotions, he walked toward them and stopped in front of Izuku.
Something was wrong with this kid "Kota, right? Hello! How ar-" As Ochaco was politely debuting a conversation with the young boy suddenly All for One began to scream at Izuku that something really bad was about to happen, a strong intent to hurt was emanating from Kota.
The kid extended his fist behind him and proceeded to launch it straight at Izuku's stomach, once he was done he calmly proceeded to walk away without a word.
"WHAT THE-" Ochaco was on the verge of vomiting considering the absurdity of what just happened, Izuku was fine, not able to breath for half a minute but he was mostly fine.
Mandalay began to yell at Kota but she gave up after a few seconds, she knew it was hopeless to get any sort of remorse from the young boy "I am SO sorry! Are you alright?"
Izuku regained some breath "C-Could have been w-worse I guess" Ochaco helped him to lay down on the ground in order to recover a bit.
"What the hell is this kid's problem?" Asked Ochaco.
Mandalay looked really disturbed and helpless "... Kota- ... Kota hates heroes it's-"
"Mandalay !" Another member of the team arrived, it was Ragdoll "All the students made it !"
"Really, they did ? Well that's fantastic, Hum we-we are coming just- ... gives us a moment, we had a problem with Kota" Ragdoll noticed the way Izuku was laying on the ground and catching back his breath.
"Ah ... I see, you will talk with him later ? Mandalay looked away for a moment, Ragdoll did not push the question further, she kept smiling and looked at the two students "Well, if you feel better you should probably head to the other side of the building with your friends"
"Let's go" Izuku pushed on his arms to get up, Ochaco helped him to stand, she didn't miss the opportunity to scold him.
"Can you just follow Recovery Girl's instructions ?! You just received a really bad punch ! This kid, Kota, is strong for his age" Izuku sat back in the wheelchair.
"I'm fine really, I was just caught off guard, he didn't injure me at all and I'm not going to lay down on the ground until I have finally recovered" the teen forced himself to smile and keep a steady composure despite the fact that Kota probably broke something inside his body. "See ? I'm fine ! Let's go with the others, I'm sure you are hungry too"
Ochaco sighed "... Sort of" Ochaco and Izuku joined the rest of the class, they were a bit surprised since there wasn't any 'food' being presented to them, only ingredients and cooking utensils.
They were tasked with preparing their own food, Ochaco didn't have any trouble since she lived alone in her apartments and as a result she was used to this kind of task, some decided to try to make difficult plates and experiment a bit while the majority opted for something simple ... this last group really wished that the Wild Wild Pussycats had prepared instant noodles bowls.
Izuku wanted to make something on his own but Ochaco insisted that he wasn't in a good physical condition to cook without hurting himself right now, the teen couldn't say if he was happy to have her as a girlfriend or if he was finding her overprotective.
The students then received a short period of rest until Aizawa explained what they would be doing during the afternoon, each of the students had received special training to increase their control over their quirks. So the class moved to an open area, the Wild Wild Pussycats had already brought various equipment based on what the students needed to train.
And as Izuku was still stuck in his wheelchair he could only watch what his comrades were doing, Aizawa was making rotations around all the students so Izuku decided to follow, at some point he get bored, oh how he wished he had brought-
"Here take this" out of nowhere Eraser Head threw a notebook and a pen at Izuku.
"W-w-wait what-why-?"
"I happened to find your 'work' opened on your desk, it's impressive, truly impressive ... there is not much we can do to develop your capacities, I'm gonna be honest with you, your fighting skills are superior to mine, and on a strategical point of view, you are a genius ... you have no quirk to work on, if you were able to walk right now you would probably not be doing much anyway so since you are stuck in this position for God only knows how much more time you might as well do something useful ..." explained the teacher as he kept looking at Ochaco flying through the air and Shoto exercising his control over his quirk.
Izuku opened the notebook, he expected it to be empty but instead it was already filled with notes and- ... he repeated out loudwhat his teacher just told him "...might as well do something usefu- ... are you tricking me into taking notes for you ?"
"It's mine, if you don't want to write anything inside it's not my problem" Izuku sighed, Aizawa knew that the teen had a psychopathic personality so of course after only one minute of total inactivity Izuku was furiously scribbling inside to kill his boredom and feed his desire of quirk analysis.
"Take your time, I haven't managed to fill half of it this year, and I do not have any spare, if you finish it you are paying the next one" Izuku was left to his own business, Aizawa probably got bored of having him following each and every of his movements like a puppy.
Izuku thought a bit more about what he had in his hands at this very moment ... an open window on Eraser Head's mind, he watched his teacher moving away to check on Ochaco who just stopped rolling around inside the plastic ball that was supposed to help her keep a better focus on her quirk.
He went back a few pages before the one he started writing on ... Aizawa's notes, his own notes.
"Training camp, departure at 9AM ... must keep watch over the lazy ones ... meet with Ragdoll and Mandalay as soon as possible to give them details about our doubts, use search to keep an eye on mi-"
Izuku did not read further, he acted as if nothing happened and went back to the page he was writing on ... he knew Aizawa was coming back near him thanks to All for One, the teacher looked over his shoulder and went back to his own activities a few seconds later ...
He was suspected? Why? ... Did he make a mistake at some point?
A few hours later, Dinner time.
Once again the students had to make their own meal, this time Momo and Iida proposed that all of them should work together to make some sort of feast. The class liked the idea a lot and everyone put all their efforts to make it work out ... Izuku couldn't really help so he simply watched from afar.
Until he felt another presence behind him, running away from the compound, he recognized it very quickly since it was in fact Kota, the kid who punched the hell out of him just a few hours ago ...
Everyone was distracted, not even the Wild Wild Pussycats had seen the kid leaving the area ... Izuku began to roll away, no one saw him either, he couldn't see Kota anymore but could clearly feel his presence, the kid wasn't too far away, Kota stopped near a cliff, he was looking at the stars. Izuku couldn't reach him in his wheelchair, he was about to do something stupid but Ochaco was not here to yell at him.
Courageously Izuku stood up and began to walk to Kota's position, he tried to stay unseen but his legs suddenly betrayed him and he ended up falling on the ground, the noise alarmed Kota and of course the young boy immediately saw that he had been followed.
"Get away you-you-" Kota had apparently never thought about how he would react if one of the students decided for a reason or another to follow him, as a result the first idea his mind could produce was to grab small stones and throw them at Izuku while he was still laying on the ground. Compared to the punch it did not hurt him at all, but it was way more humiliating.
"H-hey-hey stop that ! I just wanted to talk !" It was enough to stop the rain of stone.
"Well I do not ! Go back to the compound or-"
"I can't ... in case you didn't notice I wasn't even supposed to stand up, and I probably broke something" Izuku dared to look in Kota's direction, he had lowered his arm and it did not appear that the boy would throw another stone.
Kota moved closer from Izuku and sat next to him "Why did you want to talk with me ?"
"You punched me for a reason, it's not because of me but because of what I represent, but what I would like to know is why you are so sad?" The boy stiffened.
"I'm fine-"
"No you are not" interrupted Izuku, he forced himself in a sitting position and used the cliff to treat his back "I have seen this before, at some point I was just like you, nothing felt right ... I can't let you suffer like I did and I really want to help you, but in order to do that I need to understand your problem."
Kota looked away from Izuku so the teen could not see the boy's reaction, at the same time he spoke "You won't be able to help me or to make me feel better ... but if you want to know, this is all because of my parents."
Kota explained everything, the death of his parents, how he was sheltered by the Wild Wild Pussycats, and why he had such a strong hatred toward heroes ...
Izuku never interrupted him until he felt that Kota was done "... I can't blame you, no one can, do you think your parents really abandoned you?"
"I'm- ... I'm not sure, it's definitely their profession who took them away from me, everyone saying they were true heroes, that the day they died no one else would have made such a sacrifice. It's a joke, an insult, this idea of heroes and villains killing each other, it's this world of heroes that took them away from me, I hate heroes, I hate villains and most of all I hate quirks!"
It was worse than Izuku thought, he hated quirks too before he met All for One, he didn't hate them in general, he believed that some quirks made people that were already bad even worse. But Sensei made him realize that quirks could help humanity but those who had the power during the period they emerged managed to control the way quirks would influence the world by conditioning the citizens into this world of heroes.
"You are wrong, you are wrong to hate, this hate will turn you exactly into what you do not want to become, and then you will be alone, forgotten. You are trying to isolate yourself when what you need the most is someone to love, you probably don't realize how much the Wild Wild Pussycats love you, they are trying to help you, to give you a family, a family you deserve" Kota looked at Izuku with a stunned expression.
"You have to stop pushing them away before it's too late, you need them, they really want to help you, you don't have to hate heroes and villains, you don't have to hate quirks. Sometimes I've also wished that this world was quirkless in the first place ... you are lucky compared to me, you have a quirk, and your parents were and are still great people, no one can use your origins as a way to hate you and make you suffer ... I was just lucky enough to find someone who thought exactly like you and I, someone I could trust, but in your case you need to trust people ... it sounds hard, but this is the right thing to do"
Kota moved a bit closer next to Izuku. "... I don't think you are right, but I will try ... sorry for punching you earlier."
"It's fine, you caught me off guard, at least it gave me something else to worry about for the next hour. I have been living as a quirkless individual for many years, I know exactly how it feels to be alone, weak in a world were simple humans can become gods just because of the way they were born"
Kota had his eyes wide open at this point "You-You are quirkless ?!" It was impossible from his point of view, Izuku couldn't possibly be quirkless, U.A. would never let anyone without power become a hero.
"Yes, you haven't noticed I'm the only one that isn't participating during the training camp ?"
"I haven't been watching a lot ... and you are in a wheelchair so I guess you were simply injured and unable to actually train anything"
"Do not underestimate our teacher, if there is something we 'can' do to become better or to work in general, he will make us do it, even in a wheelchair ... he managed to make me write HIS notes this afternoon" Kota laughed a bit, Izuku was getting somewhere ... "This might sound a bit out of context, I have a sister and she is around your age, the thing is, she never really had any friend, or "normal" relationship with other people, I think you two could be good friends"
"Your sister?" Kota blinked a few times, as far as he could analyse the situation Izuku had no reason to believe he disturbed the kid with this question "... uh, how is she?"
Izuku looked at the sky and sighed "Too pure I'm afraid."
Meanwhile, Forest Compound.
Ochaco had noticed soon enough that Izuku disappeared, and of course she informed Aizawa, and the teacher proceeded to go seek the Wild Wild Pussycats in order to inform them that one of his students, and to be more precise the one in a wheelchair, managed to vanish.
The students were all asked to stay inside the main building and to wait for instructions as not only a student was missing, but also Kota ...
Ochaco waited inside the large cafeteria with the rest of the students, That's- when they also noticed that class 1-B arrived after them, they were supposed to train with them for their remaining time at the forest compound. The students weren't even talking to each other, and the two classes had formed distinct groups at each end of the room, Ochaco needed some fresh air, she stood up and began to leave the room before Tenya interrupted her.
"Where are you going? Aizawa told us to-"
"I'm just going to the bathroom" the tall teen shivered before regaining his composure and then he gestured at Ochaco that it was fine with him and he regained his place with the class.
On her way to the bathroom, Ochaco didn't mean to but she caught a conversation going on between the Wild Wild Pussycats and Eraser Head in their office, she did not want to eavesdrop but when she heard Izuku's name being pronounced she was forced to do so.
"Eraser calm down, what do you mean by 'potential suspect' and 'leaks'? Nezu contacted us personally and gave us instructions to keep this training camp an absolute secret" explained Mandalay as she tried to calm the teacher.
"We made a point on each student in 1-A, we checked all their files, every archive we could find before they arrived at U.A. and Izuku's one was the most suspicious we could find. This kid is quirkless, he has perfect grades, his behavior is equally perfect, no medical error ever recorded, he is just blank! Yet he manages to put on a fight against a Nomu at the U.S.J. and to defeat Stai-" the teacher didn't mean to talk about this event, a very small number of people knew about this case and the Wild Wild Pussycats did not have to.
"He did ?! The hero Killer ?!" Yelled Pixie Bob.
"Stop yelling ! The students do not know about our reunion with Nezu, they do not know what we talked about during the reunion to be precise ... yes it was him, the person who brought down Stain, the thing is, since Izuku finished his internship he began to harass me so that I would let him take All for One as his hero name."
The hero team gasped "... Okay this is more than suspicious, how does he-"
"All Might knows something, but he won't tell us, something happened between him and Izuku while he was at the hospital after his fight with Stain, it's my personal observation but each time All Might is around Izuku, the kid can't maintain his composure near the Symbol of Peace"
"... What about Stain ? Did anyone interrogate him ?" Asked Tora.
"This task was offered to Detective Naomasa, I believe you know him from his reputation and from his relationship with All Might, he had the occasion to converse with Stain a few times since he was arrested"
"Ah yes, the "truth seeker", I understand why he chose to become a police officer instead of a hero, his situation makes his work easier". Commented Mandalay, "And the results ?"
"As far as I know, he is now targeting 'All for One' in general for humiliating him and interrupting his 'crusade' ... this is madness, he refuses to give any detail about the fight and his 'work' during the night when the League attacked."
"And Naomasa did not interrogate Izuku ?" Asked Pixie Bob after a short moment to think about the situation.
"It would not be legal, Kenji Tsuragamae the chief of the police force ... 'asked' Izuku to stay silent on everything related to this event ... this night was a total mess ... but as I said It would be illegal unless we have a very good reason to do so, but we spoke with him and he is ready to slightly break the law if it allows us to discover who is the spy among us, he will arrive tomorrow and give some lessons to the class about their relations and positions with the police, but he will also make short interrogations with each student, alone, if the traitor isn't one of them then-"
Aizawa stopped talking, Ochaco used her quirk on herself to reduce the noise and flew away from the office's door, when Aizawa checked outside the corridor was empty. Ochaco wasn't too far from the door, her teacher didn't close it entirely.
"What about your kid, Kota ? I know you didn't use your quirk on Midoriya, but don't you know where he is Ragdoll ?"
"Hum ? Kota ? I didn't try to contact him because he sometimes spends the whole night out of the compound and if I asked him to come back he would be in danger so I thought I should let him stay in his hideout of the night and-" the eyes of Ragdoll opened even widely them they were before "He is coming back ! He is right at the door" the Wild Wild Pussycats all sprinted toward the door, Ochaco almost thought that she would be seen as the heroes ran next to her, but they were too focused one something else.
She breathed out of relief when she noticed that Aizawa was now right behind her "Care to explain to me why you left the cafeteria ?"
"I-I-w-was going to the bathroom" she answered now breathless, the teacher looked up, Ochaco followed his gaze and by pure luck she was right at the door of the girls bathroom.
"Humph ... go back to-"
"Eraser ! Your student is with Kota !" Yelled Mandalay from the entrance door.
Aizawa could not stop Ochaco from going to the door now, she was fast, he ignored her and joined the other pros.
Izuku was in his wheelchair next to Kota "I'm really sorry, I followed Kota because I wanted to talk with him and uh I-I didn't think it would take so long and when we had to come back it was a bit dark so Kota led me back to the compou-" he heard the sound of someone running through the corridor, Ochaco pushed the door open and jumped from the small staircase at the entrance to hug him almost making the wheelchair fall backward in her excitement.
"You idiot! Do not do that again!" She yelled at him.
Izuku laughed a bit "Am I in trouble, aren't I?" He was asking this question even at the same time, yet the first person to answer was Aizawa.
"Oh you would not believe how bad this week is going to be for you" Aizawa rarely used this aggressive tone, Izuku knew immediately that he wasn't simply in trouble "You disappeared and forced us to enter into an emergency situation, we were on the verge of evacuating all the students, I don't care about what you did, you will stay inside the compound until we go back to U.A. and you will also take part to the night classes so I can keep an eye on you"
Izuku and Ochaco knew from experience that there was no way to negotiate with their teacher, but the Wild Wild Pussycats had their own point of view on the subject "Eraser, you can't just lock up your students inside this place like prisoners, we still get to decide what you are allowed to do on our property" countered Pixie Bob.
Aizawa raised an eyebrow and turned around "Fine then ... I can suspend Izuku Midoriya for a month and send him home, the thing is, in that case he won't be able to pass his license and to finish his year at U.A."
The other pros realized that they probably made the situation worse for Izuku, the teacher just showed them how much power he had over his class, he was the one in control.
"It's fine, I knew what I risked anyway" Izuku rolled back inside but right when he was about to head to the cafeteria as he noticed that the students were all waiting there Aizawa interrupted him.
"You aren't eating either tonight" this time Izuku glared at the teacher, it was just getting stupid, then he headed directly to the room that the Wild Wild Pussycats had assigned him to spend the nights at the compound.
Ochaco did the same, Eraser couldn't punish her for the way she looked at him, she tried to catch up with Izuku.
"... Aizawa, that was cold, especially coming from you" protested Mandalay.
"This kid will get himself killed in the future if he keeps acting that way, always breaking all the rules and trying to do things he simply can't, I'm not trying to make him give up, he needs to know his limits"
The other pros went back inside with Kota "Even your reasons are low and weak ..." added Tora.
Izuku's assigned room.
"Izuku ... can you let me in please ?" Ochaco expected Izuku to be in a bad mood, Aizawa meant it earlier when he said that the second option he had was to suspend Izuku, again.
The door opened, Izuku was standing up again, he gestured for Ochaco to get inside "They might be listening" The room was small, just a bed a a small desk, and a window to let some light inside, even though at this point it was completely dark outside, Izuku invited Ochaco to sit next to him on the bed.
"Yes, I figured that out when I heard Eraser talking to the Pussycats about you, he-"
"He suspects me of being the traitor, I know it too, I read his notes during the training this afternoon ... but he doesn't have anything against me."
"They are gonna call a detective named Naomasa, he was here at the U.S.J. you remember ?"
Izuku shivered not only, he did not simply remember that detective, he was very conscious of the threat that he represented "...They are gonna make him interrogate each and everyone of us until they either find a traitor or they are certain we are all innocent"
"But you aren't a traitor and you have nothing to hi-" Ochaco placed her hand over her mouth, Izuku gulped, of course he had a tone of secrets.
"It's fine, if he simply asks if I'm working directly or indirectly with the League of Villain, I will answer no and he won't say I'm lying, it's as simple as it is, no need to panic ... what did Aizawa say about me though ?" Ochaco synthesized what she heard, Izuku breathed, it was nothing crucial.
10h ago"It's still- ... it's not- damn it I can't even say it's not fair ! That's just the worst punishment he could give you ! You can't stay locked up in here for a full week !"
"It's fine, beside I won't be all alone, Kota and I became friends."
"You mean the kid who punched you as soon as he saw you? "
"Yeah, the very one"
Ochaco was done, Izuku was too stubborn. "Why do you have to be friends with the weirdest people in the world ?"
"Like ... you, Kota and ... you" He didn't have any REAL good friends, Ochaco was his girlfriend, Kota wasn't even two times younger than him and Sensei was- ...
"Fine fine I get it, how did it go then ? You said you talked with him in the forest."
"Oh, we didn't talk for a long time, Kota is a good kid it's just that he is having a difficult period right now, you can't blame him for hating heroes, he just didn't know what he had to do get rid of all his pain, now I think he is going to improve a lot" Izuku layed down on his bed and looked at the ceiling. "By the way, I have seen your exercise with the big ball, I don't think it's going to change anything, you can't just lose the sickness resulting of your quirk by constantly being in a state of sickness"
"It's Ragdoll who suggested this kind of training for me, but I think you are right, I didn't feel any progress at all" Ochaco ended up in the same position as Izuku.
"... Have you ever tried to ... not focus at all ? Your quirk makes you feel sick if you use it on yourself because you basically lose sense of attraction, I think that's a thing with astronauts, you are always very focused on what's happening around you, I do not mean that you should simply not pay attention during combat or hard situations but that you should be more relaxed"
Ochaco listened, she did not answer for long moment until she had a weird idea in her head "It's gonna sound stupid but ... do you want to float with me ?"
Izuku turned his head toward her "Float ? You and me now ? Here ?"
"Yeah, no one will see us ... and ... well since you can't stand on your legs for a long time I thought this would be fun, I'm not forcing you of course"
"I would be more than happy to float with you" Izuku gave his hand to Ochaco, she grabbed it and activated her quirk, both of them slowly began to be lifted from the bed and to float around the room. "What do we do now ?"
"... How about- ... how about you hug me ?"
"You shouldn't even have to ask, I'd be a bad boyfriend" Izuku rubbed the back of his head while Ochaco brought him closer to her.
"I- ... I would like to go further but I think it's a bit too early and-and I don't feel like I'm ready yet"
"D-do-don't worry I-I'm not either a-a hug is fine !" Both of them were getting redder and redder, they didn't notice for how long they had been floating around the room like this, until there was a knock at the door, Ochaco gasped and deactivated her quirk by reflex making both teenagers fall back on the bed.
There was another knock "I-I'm coming just a minute !" He looked at Ochaco and then he looked at the room, a closer, he barely began to point his finger that Ochaco was already trying to hide inside, once she was in position Izuku stood up to open the door, it was Kota.
"Kota ? C-can I help you ?"
"I don't need your help, I just wanted to tell you that- ... that I apologised to Mandalay, Ragdoll, Tora, and Pixie Bob, they-they forgave me, you were right, I made the wrong decision, I almost lost myself and you brought me back on the right way. I still don't like heroes but ... I want to become like my parents, I want to become even better than them"
Izuku smiled "That's the spirit, I'm also happy I managed to help you"
Kota smirked "I won't disturb you any longer. Your dirty hobo of a teacher really went all out on you, oh and by the way, I can't hear anything from outside the room but I could hear someone breathing in your closet, so be careful if the door is open.
Izuku shivered "Y-you won't tell this to anyone will you ?"
"No ... of course not, if you tell me where you got these shoes."
Izuku went "Ehhhh ?" Ochaco also went "Ehhhh ?" And Kota simply chuckled.
"I-I will tell you, so-so go-goodnight Kota !" The kid waved at Izuku and walked away, the teen then swiftly closed the door while Ochaco got out of the closet.
"I-I will go to my room now ! Se-see you tomorrow Izuku !"
"Y-Yeah let's just go to sleep" Izuku held the door open for Ochaco and closed it as soon as she left, Kota wasn't a bad person, right ? Surely he wouldn't say anything about this wonderful moment he spent with Ochaco and even more surely enough he would not spread rumours, right?
Outside the compound.
"Aizawa ! What a pleasure, I was getting bored, how is the camp going so far ?" Asked the principal from the other side of the phone.
"There was a majo- ... there was an incident," explained the teacher. "Izuku Midoriya disappeared for about half an hour with Kota. They came back unharmed to the camp but it's getting more and more suspicious ... I want Naomasa at the camp tomorrow's morning, and I am not going to wait another day. If by the end of their first period of training and he isn't here, I'm bringing back everyone to U.A." Nezu had never heard Aizawa being so scared and concerned.
"... Is something wrong ? Aizawa you need to calm down, there is-"
"The U.S.J. was barely a simulation, our students could only have died if they really wanted to, but since the incident with Stain ... they are holding back, they aren't ready to engage any real fight, we thought it would be a nice cover for them but it's a trap, if the League of villains attacks now I won't be able to guarantee their safety and I do not want to be responsible for their death ... understood ?"
The principal did not make a single sound for a long period "I'm starting to believe you ... I will ask All Might to speak with Naomasa, I will call you back later to give you more details, for now do not let the students wander too far from the main compound, the training site you used yesterday is fine during the day, and one more thing, I have began to look at the files of Izuku's family members ... they aren't fake at all but ... some are missing, I do not remember that he had a sister for example"
"A sister ? ... Me neither ... What about his father ?"
"Complex situation, I'm wondering why he hasn't divorced yet, his work 'overseas' should not even require his physical presence ... stay calm, act as if nothing unusual was about to happen, but speak with the Pussycats, they need to be informed."
"Fine with me" Eraser Head hung up.
Tomorrow, the moment of truth will arrive.
Well not tomorrow like tomorrow but you get the idea, it's finaly all coming together, everything I prepared ... I still have some doubts but I know how I am going to end this (do not worry chapter 30 will not be the final one :P)
It will take some time to make it though, it will be the longest chapter so far, the longest at the time of publication is 12 000 words long to give you an idea.
Well ... let's get to work now.
