Daria marveled at the statues of all the heroes from the countries outside of Japan. Of course Deku's group had gone to check out the hero's from both America and Japan. While she had to drag the Bakusquad to the heroes in France, Italy, and of course Romania. There weren't as many outside of Japan, but there were some legendary ones that had touched people's hearts and lives throughout the years.
Mina's eyes then catch a hero from France, as she points at them. "Oh my gosh! Look how cool she is rocking that outfit!" She points to a small screen that was near each statue showing off the hero's quirk.
The woman had light pink hair like Mina that went all the way down to the ground, but close to the end of it a bushel of it was tied off by these huge gold and silver rings that seemed to have defied gravity. The woman had a simple black bra on with a white coat that wrapped around her torso, and a long black with gold streaked scarf was wrapped around her neck that flowed throughout the air behind her. On her legs she wore thigh length black shorts with fancy royal blue leggings that adorned star patterns, and black with gold high heels that had the same royal blue fluff at the top of her ankles. On her wrists she wore the same rings as what was on the end of her hair. In the video it showed her creating several different colored crystals proceeding to throw them at her opponents.
Daria nods reading the pamphlet that was provided, "Yeah that's the #8 hero in France. She's the 'Crystal Hero:Chrysalis'. Her quirk allows her to form crystals that each have their own tone and power. Each colored crystal represents a mood, and how it affects the person touched by that crystal." She flips a page continuing to read, "Apparently there are certain vitamins and minerals she uses from her own body to produce said crystals, and when she oversteps her absolute limit on those crystals, Anemia will kick in causing her to become nauseated, and eventually pass out. It also says here that the more crystals she produces, the more her own emotions go out of control."
"That is so cool yet terrifying at the same time." Mina gushes about the hero. "I feel me and her could be the best of friends." She points at the hair, "Just look! We share the same hair color!"
"Yeah I can totally see that Mina!" Denki tells her, a grin stretched out across his face. "You'd rock that outfit!" His eyes then catch another hero down the line as he runs up to it pointing at a man that looked like cooled lava with cracks that revealed bright orange of flowing lava throughout his body. He had four arms, with two of them holding literal flames swords swinging them around on the screen.
"Hey this dude is wicked! I bet he could beat Bakugou!" He laughed out causing said angry pomeranian to nearly spring after the other.
The group moves onto the lava dude, this time it was Kirishima that read the information off. "This dude is the #6 hero in France. His title is the 'Lava Hero:Firespouter', his quirk is made up of lava rocks and magma. His internal temperature always runs hot, and he has 2 extra arms attached to his back. He can spew fire and lava, and fight with his swords that are powered by a drop of his blood." Kiri smiles continuing to read from the information. "When he overheats, his internal temperature will plummet to a colder temperature. He'll lose magma, and his skin will start cracking and chipping away into burned out coal. He's vulnerable to cold temperatures, ice quirks, and water quirks."
Bakugou huffs, "Not too tough when you have two quirks that are deadly to yourself, and the cold temperatures don't help. His quirk is impressive but not that impressive. Get one or more individuals with an ice or water quirk, and fight this hero to his absolute limit, it'll kill him."
"Come on man this dude is 51 years old, he's been through some epic battles, and still going strong. I like him, he's pretty damn manly. Plus there aren't many people that have water or ice quirks so I think he's safe." Kirishima tells Bakugou slinging an arm over his shoulder with a cheeky smile.
"You idiot I'm talking about ability users too. We have no idea who has what out there, they could attack him and kill him with ease." Bakugou grounds out, his arms crossed.
Daria then pops up to him, "Hey, hey let's not dwell on that. Let's have a good day, and look at some more heroes." She then spots another hero down the line, pulling both boys with her. "Like this one!"
The group continued to look at other heroes in France to Italy to Romania throughout the 4 hours the class was at the museum. They learned a lot as they all stood by the bus while Aizawa looked bored out of his mind. He cleared his throat, "I hope everyone had a good trip, but this trip wasn't only fun but educational too. With this trip is going to come an assignment." He ignored the many groans that resounded from the class. "I know most of you looked at heroes from other countries and even in Japan, but I want you all to pick one each individually and write a report on them. Do your research. Write from how they came to be a hero, and became ranked or famous. I don't want anything left out."
Deku raised his hand, "Can I do mine on All Might?"
"No, All Might no one can do, seeing as you know him on a personal level Deku, and I know everyone else is pretty close to All Might, so it would be an easy assignment if anyone picked him. I don't want easy or someone you know on that level, I want you to actually do your research and take your time on this assignment instead of taking an easy way out." Aizawa pulls out a clipboard with a pen. "Ok for anyone that has their mind made up, go ahead and tell me so I can keep track of it."
Ochako raised her hand excitedly, "Mr. Aizawa I'm going to do ."
"Good choice. Who else?" The teacher remarked looking over the sea of faces, pen at ready to write.
More students raised their hands. Momo was going for Dragon Hero:Ryukyu. Tokoyami went for Winged Hero:Hawks. Asui went for Sea Rescue Hero:Selkie. Not to Daria's surprise Sato had gone for the Cook Hero:Lunch Rush. Mineta of course had gone for the Mineyama Hero:Mt. Lady, Aizawa had never said that he could not pick a girl.
Mina waves her hand around excitedly, "I'm going for a french hero. The Crystal Hero:Chrysalis!"
Aizawa was surprised, but didn't deny it because at least there was someone that was going outside of Japan for a hero. It would be a change of pace. As he saw Kirishima raise his hand next. He points at him with the pen. "Who are you going for?" He expected him to tell him Crimson Riot, but was shocked by his answer.
"I'm choosing the Lava Hero:Firespouter. He's the #6 hero in France and he looks badass. I was going to go for Crimson Riot, but decided to shake things up." Kirishima said proudly, pounding his fists together with a wide smile.
Daria makes up her mind as she raises her hand. When she gets the teacher's attention does she give him her answer. "I've decided to do the Dream Hero:Camiduer. She's the #4 hero in France, and I really love her style. It's really interesting, she's kind of like Hawks, but in a different way. She's the #4 hero at only 22 years of age. I want to know how she did it!"
Aizawa raised an eyebrow, as he looked at the last three members of the Bakusquad. "Are all of you going to do French heroes? By all means that isn't a bad thing, but it's something different. And would make a good report."
Sero nods, "Well I don't know about the rest of them, but I definitely am! It beats doing a report on someone in Japan just like everyone else." He clears his throat, "I'm going for the #2 hero in France. The Spirit Hero:Spira."
Denki comes next, "Well if it's decided, I'm going for the #5 hero in France. The Speed Hero:Spinza."
Bakugou points at himself, a competitive grin on his face. "Since I'm going to be the number 1 hero one day, I'm choosing the #1 hero in France! The Muscle Hero:Banks!"
That's when things pick up with Aoyama next, he picks a hero from America. The number #2 hero, The Glimmering Hero:Sparklza. It really fit him, and he was excited to get on the project since Sparklza sparkles as much as himself.
Aizawa looks up from the clipboard, "Does anyone else have their mind made up? You don't have to pick right now, just make sure you have an answer for me by the end of the day. Think it through, because this assignment will last for the next 3 weeks, and you can't change who you picked." He waits for anyone else to answer before looking back down at the sheet, "Ok Iida, Ojiro, Koda, Shoji, Jiro, Todoroki, Deku, and Hagakure all of you have till the end of the day to give me your answer. Any questions?"
Deku raises a hand, and Aizawa nods for him to speak. "Can we do a hero that's already been picked?"
"No, you need to pick someone that nobody else has picked so far. Think wisely on your choice. Remember you can do someone outside of Japan if you wish." He looks at the clipboard real quick, "We already have 7 Japanese heroes, 5 French heroes, and 1 American hero picked. If that's all the questions you have for now, let's load up on the bus and go back to the school."
Meanwhile in an alleyway a couple blocks away from the museum and where the bus sat being loaded with students, sat Aton and another member of the league, Dabi. Dabi was the only one available to scout the area, and had to keep Aton from lashing out at every sighting of the girl. He didn't trust the man as far as he could throw him, he didn't think it was a good idea to get involved with a man like him. The man seemed even more unstable than the craziest of lunatics, and would ramble on, preach for hours on end about his ambitions, and his thoughts on different matters. Aton to Dabi was too loud, and would get one of them killed one day.
Aton licked his lips, shaking nervously. "She's right there! We should just attack and grab her! It'll be a quick in and out thing, come on Dani."
"It's Dabi." He growls out at the other man. "If we just attack on a whim now, we'll be swarmed with heroes from all directions then you won't be able to do your end of the bargain." He gets in the man's face, "I'm just going to come out and say this. I'm only helping you because the boss ordered it. I don't care about that girl or what you do with her, the boss only cares about All Might and the successor."
Aton just shook his head, "Well the feeling is mutual my friend. I don't care about anything except that girl and my goals. Once I'm done with this circus of a group you call the League of Villains, I'm going to be richer than you can even imagine! I'm only helping you because your boss agreed to get the girl for me, and that's as far as our connections lie."
Dabi wanted to kill this bastard right here and now, but if he did that then the boss would be pissed. The man best watch out on the shit he spouts from his lips, his bragging would get him killed one of these days.
"Don't go bragging to everyone under the sun, that will get you killed. Rushing in without a plan will get you killed too. We need her alone, with no way to communicate to other people, especially those heroes. If we overwhelm her then she'll be beaten." Dabi looks back at Aton, "I heard through the underground that there are rumors of ability users coming to this city to hunt your ass down." Dabi asked warily, if this man was going to get them mixed up with that bunch he wasn't going to be worth the trouble. "Do you know anything about that? Why would they be hunting you?"
Aton shrugs his shoulders, waving away Dabi's words. "Ah it's no biggie. I just caused some ruckus over in Yokohama, and they got all bent out of shape over it. Nothing to worry about."
Dabi is in disbelief, as he grabs the man by the front of the shirt roughly, "Bent out of shape? You did more than a small scale spree if they are coming into the city they despise! A city where people will riot about their presence here!" He pushes the man away nearly making Aton trip over his own feet. "If you're setting a trap for us you will regret it. That's a promise, deal or no deal."
"Oh so scary. I assure you I didn't intend for them to hunt me down. I wish they weren't hunting me down. I'm not tricking you, I just want the girl and then I'll be out of your hair. Simple as that." He points to the loaded bus at this point that was driving away. "Plus that girl is an ability user. If they haven't figured her out yet, then nobody will blink an eye at the others."
"They'll find out eventually, they always do." Dabi tells him silently seething at the man in front of him, wanting to burn him to a literal crisp. "Come on we're leaving. If I stick around here any longer someone will recognize me. I don't care if you stick around and get yourself caught, or killed, one." He turns on his heel and starts trekking down the darkened alleyway. Aton deciding not to stay by himself follows behind Dabi.
Meanwhile in Yokohama in the ADA main office sits Chuuya, and Akutagawa with Atsushi & Dazai on the other side. At the end of the table sits Fukuzawa, and Mori. A remote was held in the hand of Fukuzawa as he turned on the screen, his secretary dimming down the lights.
"So do you all know why you were called to this meeting?" Mori was the first to ask, his cutting to the four men.
Chuuya shook his head, leaning back in his chair as his arms were crossed. "Is it because of Aton Baton?"
Mori nods, "Yes it is. We have called Soukou and Shin Soukou to go take care of the problem for us. We were going to send more, but that's far too risky. I'm sure you're all aware of who Aton is by now due to the papers you were briefed with yesterday. You four will be heading to Musutafu where the infamous UA high school is located to hunt down and kill Aton. I have no use for such a destructive quirk as his own, I'd prefer if it died with him."
Atsushi raises his hand nervously, "Isn't heading to Musutafu too risky alone? You know how people treat our kind in that city, and during the past years most of the low level ability users that have entered that city disappeared without a trace. We can't risk it."
Chuuya speaks up in a serious tone, looking at Atsushi. "One of the people I consider a kid sister is being targeted by that man. Her oldest sister thought it was for the best to send her to UA high school to protect her against this man, but didn't calculate that he would follow her to the city. She'll be coming over with us if she can, and I have a long time friend coming to UA for extra protection."
"Why does this man want with that girl? And who is going to the school?" Atsushi asked once more curious about this case.
"I don't know what he wants with her, but when I find out I'll crush his body in with the force of gravity. I damn sure know it's nothing good if he's going as far as he is to get her, and I'm not about to let him touch even a hair on her head. Anyone helping him with his goals will get the same treatment, no excuses." He breathes out, "Have you ever heard of the Dream Hero:Camiduer over in France?"
Atsushi nods, "Yeah just a little bit. She's 22 years old and she's the #4 hero at such a young age. She used to be the #5 hero but gained the #4 spot after her former mentor died. I don't see what she has to do with this, isn't she a quirk user?"
Chuuya sighs, leaning back in his chair. "No she isn't. She is an ability user just like all of us in this room."
"How?!" Atsushi asked in complete shock.
"She played her cards right, and is continuing to play her cards right. It takes only a few things to fool those so called heroes, and become a pro hero while being an ability user. Something the quirk users can't stand the sight of. Though she worked hard for her position, most of her background information on her schooling, power, life is faked. That's what Cheraline did for her sister Daria, the one Aton is after did with her background information. She knows someone that can make that stuff look legit after infiltrating and working for the quirk users for years himself. I called her a while ago and she's on her way to Japan right now, even managed to fool the so-called best hero school in the country with a faked letter." He leans forward again, restless. "I have a private jet big enough to fit 10 people inside it that we'll be taking to Musutafu soon. We'll be staying in a 5 star hotel in the outskirts of the city just to be on the safe side. All of it's been paid for personally by me and the port mafia."
"That man Aton has been destroying some of our cities blocks, and killing some ability users, usually the weakest ones, and civilians. He's tried to take down some of the big ability users, but he proved unsuccessful. People are calling for his head, so the ADA got pulled into this from the start." Dazai says looking at Mori, "If I'm correct he's been causing you trouble in your territory, right?"
Mori nods, "He's killed many of the bodyguards and subordinates we have as well. That is the main reason we're sending you four out to destroy this man's very existence. Now I have sent out a letter to the principal of the hero school to let us do our job, and to not interfere."
"Of course the oh so generous and self righteous hero society doesn't want us to kill someone that would be a pain to them too. That man deserves what's coming his way, with him dead it'll be one less trouble magnet we have to continue to deal with for years to come." Chuuya laughs out, "What a joke!"
"Yes that is one issue that they have with us being there. The other reason is that they believe he can be rehabilitated through the prison system. Then the last reason would be this man is a quirk user, so in the eyes of the quirk laws we don't have a right to kill one of their own." Mori explains to Chuuya.
Chuuya slams his fist on the table making the table warb just a hair. "Yet he has the right to kill our kind as he pleases?! What kind of horsehit is this?" Chuuya is seething with anger, nearly gritting his teeth. "He has the right to waltz into this city as he pleases and kill many of our own! Screw them! I'm going over there, and I'll take down anyone that tries to interfere with my goals!" He points at Mori, "Just remember we don't have to abide by those bullshit laws they have in place!"
"That only applies to the Quirk Usage Laws, any other laws when visiting the city we have to abide by, you remember that Chuuya. Don't get yourself killed or captured just for the sake of this girl, or what he's done. Just kill him as discreetly as possible, then sneak back out of the city. Once you're back in Yokohama they can't charge you for anything regarding their laws." Mori retorts back with a stern tone, and a serious glint in his eyes.
Chuuya starts laughing "This is fucking rich. Quirk users think it's completely fine for one of them to kill our kind? Yet when the tables are turned they turn into the biggest hypocrites this world has ever seen! They should take a good long look in the mirror, and realize the world isn't all peaches and cream. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and a life for a life is what I say. Someone kills our kind unjustified and they damn sure are going to get killed in the worst way possible!" He gives his boss a stern gaze, "Are you seriously going to let them run over us like this? The great powerful boss of the port mafia bowing down to the quirk society."
Mori stands up at those words, "You watch your mouth. I don't like them running us over but we can't afford to lose any of your four to the heroes. That would be a big loss to both the port mafia and the ADA. One day soon the quirk users will regret treating us as such, we'll show them the power the ability users. We'll make them respect us, and break free of what laws they have us leashed to outside of this city." He walks around the table, "Now go show them what we can do." He says with a gleeful smile. "I bow down to no one. Especially those low life, hypocritical people they call heroes."
