Chapter 37: The raid begins
The heroes set off to save the Peanut Gallery from Lydia with Mrs. Uraraka as Gravity leading the way. Soon, they reached the building and stormed it, causing the employees to warn Lydia, who then told them to stop them from saving their kids. The Peanut Gallery then gets mad and tries to fight Lydia, causing her to overpower them and tied them all up after a tough battle. Lydia then laughs evilly as she sat down and watched the heroes fought their way up to her. Meanwhile, the U.A. League soon gets separated from their comrades because of a villain with an earthquake quirk as they moved on and reached the elevator. However, instead of getting to the third floor, they suddenly fell to the lower level, much to Lydia's joy because two employees break the chain of the elevator.
When they got off the elevator, they were greeted by Lydia's employees who then ambushed them. The employees are wearing strong armors, making attacking with close range quirks impossible. Endeavor (Mr. Todoroki) and Waverly (Mrs. Hado) then teamed up to get rid of the first wave of employees before figuring out how to get back to the first floor, which is by stairs. Soon, the U.A League reached the first floor, where the second wave is waiting for them. This time, Imegine (Mr. Yaoyorozu), Cow Lady (Mrs. Tsunotori) and Godzillo (Mr. Tokage) can defeat the wave and protected everyone. Soon, everyone set off to the second floor, where more employees are waiting. The employees soon overpower the U.A League until their comrades can locate them and help them defeat the third wave. Meanwhile, Lydia watched with anticipation until Shoto told Lydia that he and his friends hasn't got an explanation for this, causing Lydia to turn her chair around and smile sinisterly at the Peanut Gallery.
Lydia then got up and told the Peanut Gallery through flashback that the reason why she killed her mother is because of her unfair treatment by favoring Juryoku than her, which leads her letting her starve outside while Juryoku gets everything her heart desire. Soon, she meets Rosalina during a sad walk through the rain and gets a staff with the founder stone. Rosalina then show Lydia her mom's true colors as they watch her use her quirk to steal expensive things for Jurokyu and collect rocks for Lydia, causing Lydia to become furious and confront her mom at the house about her hypocrisy about doing the right thing before having enough and killed her mother with her staff with Juryoku watching the whole thing. Lydia and Juryoku then gets into a fight until Lydia threw her sister out and took over the house as she and the Warcraft of Doom discussing a way to destroy the hero society until this day. The Peanut Gallery then become sympathetic before Tensei told Lydia that she must tell her sister about her mom's treatment, which caused Lydia to tell the kids that she'll be a fool to do that. Ochaco then gets angry and broke free from the ropes before telling everyone to go get her mother while she deals with her aunt. After her friends and Zero ran off to the second floor, Ochaco gives her aunt an ultimatum before preparing to fight: either surrender and face the consequences of her action or face her in a fight, causing Lydia to coldly choose fight, which only made Ochaco glared at her Aunt Lydia.
