Huge apologies for the long wait. It's mostly attributed to refining the earlier chapters, so as an apology, I'll be trying harder to release Chapter 7.

Again, sorry for the wait, let's start this now.


Beyond the doors, was a large lobby that gave off a comfortable feeling, with a fireplace near the lounging area and dozens of plants that gave them a rush of fresh air. To the right of the fireplace was an intricate dark-wood door, hiding what was beyond it. Sitting on one of the chairs was Amanoris, smiling as always.

"Nice to meet you again. So, how was it?" He asked as he shifted, his face leaning against his fist.

"It was... a roller coaster of emotions," Izuku said nervously.

Kaminari snorted. "Big understatement."

Uraraka grumbled a little. "Don't like how it all turned out though." She narrowed her eyes at him. "Will they have a happy ending?"

"That would be a spoiler," Amanoris said with a toothy smile, only serving to further irritating the girl.

Then the red-eyed man stood up and clasped his hands, making it seem like he was about to announce something to grab their attention.

"So, there's one last thing that needs to be done." He said as he walked close to the door. He continued as he knocked on it. "Your stay would be boring if this were the only room, especially considering each break will last two hours, so I've prepared several other rooms for you beyond this door. The ones you have been to are the Cinema and now the Lounge. The rest is the Workshop, the Arcade, the Library, the Diner, the Museum, and the Danger Room. I'll explain their purposes along the tour. Is everything clear?" Seeing them all nod he then gestures his head to the door before opening it, letting light filter in.


The tour went smoothly, with Amanoris explaining each room and its functions.

The Workshop, the Arcade, and the Library were interesting, but also just about what they thought it would be like. The Museum wasn't even accessible, much to the annoyance of some, but Amanoris did explain it would be available upon the second break so their complaints ended rather quickly.

The last one, however, was the most unusual, both in appearance and function.

It was an empty white room, with only a single panel beside the entrance. They were understandably confused by the sight, but after showing what it could do, that confusion turned into awe.

It could project whatever amount of creatures or objects, all of which the guests could interact with. Hatsume was basically demanding to know how it works, but Amanoris never answered her, much to the girl's ire.

(02:00:00)

Overall, they each had the rooms they wanted to visit the most, so when the tour was over they immediately headed there.

But as everyone explored the rooms, two certain students didn't have the chance to, already whisked away by their teacher.


(01:55:00)

"What?!" Shota Aizawa whispered loudly, not believing what his ears were hearing.

"Yeah, yeah, I bullied Deku a lot, so what?!" Bakugo growled, his tone becoming more defensive. But a warning glare from the teacher was enough to silence him.

He sighed, kneading his tired eyes.

When he had brought them here, to this currently empty hallway that connected each room, he didn't think what he would hear would be that horrible.

But what he just heard was beyond horrible; more than enough to ruin his life if word were to spread, after all, the Champion of the Sports Festival being tormentor would be too juicy for those media vultures to pass up.

"I-It's okay, sensei, I really don't mind about it anymore," Izuku said nervously, trying to defuse the situation.

But the blond frowned, a low growl resounding from him. 'Fucker, acting all high-and-mighty about it. You've always been like that.' He thought venomously to himself, but he was wise enough not to say that out loud, not in front of a furious teacher.

"...I'm disappointed in you, Bakugo," Aizawa said after a moment of silence.

His head snapped up with wide eyes.

He was disappointed in him...? Just for beating up Deku a bit when before U.A., even when he fully deserves it for lying to him all his life?! He looked down again, hiding the fact he was grinding his teeth in rage.

The teacher continued, eyes narrowed in a glare. "Heroes aren't supposed to use their power just because they are weaker than them. They're meant to use it to protect the weak, not the opposite, Bakugo. I thought you already knew this." He berated with no signs of stopping, making sure to truly express his feeling on the matter.

After what felt like hours to the blond, Aizawa stopped. He sighed, thinking it was already everything. But he couldn't be more wrong.

"Reconcile with each other."

"Eh?" The both of them simultaneously said as they looked up at him, baffled by what they heard.

"I said what I said. Reconcile, or at least forgive each other. Even if you say you don't hold a grudge against him, Midoriya, I know you still have some bitter feelings for him." He said, seeing through him, causing the green-haired boy to look down, unsure of what to answer to that. "And you, Bakugo." He glared at the scowling blond. "You have to take care of your anger issues, and I don't care how long it takes, you apologize to Midoriya here. Got it?" He asked. Seeing the boy silent, he narrowed his eyes and repeated. "Got it?"

Bakugo's fists clenched behind his back and he nodded bitterly. It infuriated him that he had to apologize to Deku of all people, but he said nothing, not angered enough to bark back against his sensei.

Aizawa nodded. He knew that there was almost no chance for them to reconcile, but he at least hoped they could just forgive each other. He wouldn't spread this disappointing bit of information amongst anyone else, he knew Bakugo would likely be ostracized from his class, and as much as he hated what Bakugo did, he didn't think he deserved that.

"When you want to apologize, come to me. I'll see if your apology is genuine or not." He added.

The teacher then left, leaving behind the two former friends to stew in their feelings alone.

"Hmm? What's going on here?" They jumped in surprise, turning to see Mirko.

"O-Oh, no-nothing miss!" Izuku said while standing upright.

"Don't call me miss."

"O-Of course miss– I-I mean, ma'am!"

Mirko stayed silent, eyes twitching in slight annoyance. She grunted. "Don't go brooding here. It's an eyesore, plus you're blocking the road."

Nodding at that, Izuku and Bakugo moved, the former hurrying to the Lounge and the latter to the Danger Room, likely to vent his anger.

Meanwhile, she stood there as she saw them go their separate ways. Her narrowed eyes seemed to focus on Bakugo especially.


(01:40:00)

The Diner

"Hey, where's Mirko goin' off to?" Present Mic asked her.

Nemuri, more known as Midnight, quickly replied. "To the Danger Room. She was here first because she was tired." Her friend looked incredulously at her. "Before she was teleported here and everything, she was in the middle of fighting a pretty strong Villain. Apparently, it winded her a bit."

"Ohh, I see." He hummed, thinking. "You know, after all this and we go back, would Mirko be teleported right back into her fight?" He chuckled. "Imagine if the guy saw her suddenly go back to full strength. Poor dude." At that thought, the two close friends laughed.

They then heard the door click open, revealing itself to be Aizawa. He looked around, seeing every other Hero brought here, with the exclusion of Mirko and Endeavour, but also several Villains grouped up in a corner. Off to the side, he saw Lunch Rush in the kitchen and Kurogiri in the bar.

He tried to ignore their presence as he walked to his colleagues.

"Hey."

"Hey to you too buddy!" Mic greeted back.

"An apple would be fine," Aizawa said to Lunch Rush.

"You can just... think of it."

"Ah..." Immediately, an apple appeared in his hand. He quickly began to eat it.

"What have you been up to?" Midnight asked with a raised eyebrow.

Her curiosity was warranted. After all, he's been gone for 15 minutes and the last time she saw him, he was practically dragging away Midoriya and Bakugo.

He sighed as he sat beside Mic. "Nothing. Just had something to deal with." They were curious what it was, but his tone told them to leave it at that, so they did.

"Hmm... Hey, I've been thinking." Mic murmured.

Vlad scoffed. "No need. I don't want to hear you going off about some new "sick" song you found."

"Hey! They're just not your taste!" He growled. "It's not even related to that anyway. I was just wondering about Arcane. Well, the Undercity, really."

The table went quiet, thinking over what they saw. They didn't expect to feel... anything favourable for a Villain. Sure, they cared for Vi, Powder, Mylo and Claggor, but they were still children to them, so their sentiment was understandable.

But it was what they felt for the other criminals that shocked them. They expected to feel anger, disagreement, everything that they felt each time they encountered a Villain.

However, most of the time while watching, that was the opposite of what they felt.

They felt remorse for what Vander was going through, they understood why Silco and the people of the Undercity wanted to rebel. And most of all, they mourned when Vander died. That was what shocked them the most because almost none of them have ever felt that way for a Villain.

Sure, if they were the ones that killed the Villain, they would feel guilt and shame, but never sadness. Even the thought of feeling grief for a Villain was unimaginable to them before all this. But they just did, so it confused them at first.

It was during the credits that they slowly understood why.

It was because even though they insisted that Vander was a Villain, cruel and all, many of them almost never saw him that way throughout. The realization shocked them; they've been ignoring it ever since they got out of the Cinema, but now, they could fully process what they've come to understand.

"Hmm, should Vander be considered a... Villain?" Mic threw out the question.

"Of course." Vlad huffed, leaning back in his seat. "He's not just a regular run-of-the-mill crook either. He's the leader of a group of criminals."

"But, are they really a criminal group?" All-Might inquired. "They have more than a good enough reason-"

"A good reason isn't going to cut it." Aizawa sighed, rubbing his forehead. "I understand why they would do it, but they've crossed the line when they started to use violence." The former Symbol paused, thinking over what he said.

He understood why they wanted to rebel, really he did, but he also agreed with Aizawa on that note; you shouldn't resort to violence unless there was no other choice. But calling them Villains still felt wrong for him.

Being oppressed by those stronger than you and not being able to do anything about it... it all reminded him of his past, back when he was Toshinori, and not All-Might.

"But surely, he's not a Villain anymore." Midnight defended. "I mean, he's gone to non-violent ways, he even raised orphans himself when he doesn't have to."

Gang Orca nodded, as he murmured in a deep tone. "Redemption. Not everyone can be redeemed, but Vander certainly can." Many others silently agreed with his words.

Vlad scoffed in his lonesome, clearly disagreeing with the Villain-looking Hero, but said nothing.

With the table silent once more, Vlad stood up. "I'm going to check on the students. See if there are any accidents; I still don't trust that Amanoris."

"Huh, I thought that was Aizawa's gimmick." Present Mic said, but he was promptly ignored.

"Me too," All-Might added firmly. He was curious what his successor was up to.

"Don't get lost brat!" Gran Torino yelled at him.

The former Hero laughed nervously, nodding his head to his aged, but tacitly still terrifying teacher.

Rolling his eyes, Vlad left the room with the skinny blond following suit, heading to the Danger Room where they knew most of the students would be.


(01:37:00)

The Danger Room

Grunts and collisions, a dozen students fighting various creatures or weaving through obstacles. Inevitably, the centre of attention was Bakugo, very loudly exploding creatures of pure muscle with, strangely enough, green hair; Mirko, effortlessly kicking through her holographic enemies; then last but not least, was Endeavour, blasting through several dozen at once.

That was the sight Vlad and All-Might walked upon, both a bit taken aback by what some of the other students were fighting.

Like Kaminari battling a giant Pikachu, for one.

"I think my students are alright here." He said, scanning the room. "I'll talk to them and use this chance to toughen them up. I want them to return from this stronger than Aizawa's batch. You?"

"Young Midoriya doesn't seem to be here..." All-Might hummed, not seeing him anywhere. "Maybe he's somewhere else. So I'll go find him."

Nodding at that, Vlad walked to his students, who jumped in surprise upon noticing him. Meanwhile, the former Hero walked out of the room.


(01:30:00)

The Lounge

Surrounding the fireplace, sat several students, either asleep or indulging in their activities. Even though the teachers and their training told them not to let their guard down, most of them couldn't help but relax in the homey environment.

"It's almost unfair how someone like Amanoris could make a place this comfortable." Yaoyorozu sighed, sinking into the sofa.

"Really? How?" Ochaco asked as she gulped down a small piece of cake.

"He just seems... unnerving, in some way." She said worriedly.

"Hmm..." The brunette tapped her chin, face scrunching in thought. "Yeah, he never lets down that smile of his."

"Not that." The pony-tailed student chuckled. "Just that... his eyes seem to look at us like we're experiments, so to say."

She raised an eyebrow. "Maybe you're looking into this too much?"

Yaoyorozu sighed. "Yeah, maybe."

The two girls stayed in silence. Ochaco peacefully watched the fire flickering while the other read a book she took from the Library.

"Hmm... Interesting."

"What is it?" Uraraka leaned closer.

"You remember what I said earlier?"

"Yeah, about how Amanoris made this place." She nodded. "Why?"

"Apparently, according to this book at least, there's a lot of other places like this that Amanoris made. It's all not that far from each other, either." With each word, her eyes widened further.

"We need to tell Aizawa-sensei about this," Uraraka said.

They stood up and walked to the door together, but before they could open it, someone did it for them.

"Hello there." All-Might greeted. Everyone looked in shock. "Have any of you seen Young Midoriya?"

"I-I'm here!" The aforementioned student quickly stood up and walked over to him.

"There you are." Toshinori smiled. "What have you been up to?"

"I-I was just... thinking." He nervously said.

"Oh! About what?"

"Um, something Aizawa-sensei said to me. It's not too serious! Don't worry." He said when his face suddenly got serious.

"Hmm, alright. I believe you. If there's anything you want to talk about, talk to me."

Izuku nodded his head in appreciation. He wanted to talk to him about this, but not right now. He needs to think over it by himself first.

"Pardon, All-Might sir." Yaoyorozu bowed, before moving past him, Uraraka following suit.

"So respectful. Her parents raised her well." Toshinori said with a smile. He's met their parents once and they were very respectful, so he had a guess their daughter would be similar. "Anyway," He turned back to his student. "if you want to train, just tell me, I'd be in the Danger Room. Hope you solve whatever's bugging you, Young Midoriya?" He tried doing his iconic laugh.

Keyword: tried. He coughed after a bit, cheeks burning in embarrassment.

Izuku watched as his figure closed the door behind him. He sighed. He should've told All-Might about his thoughts; he was Quirkless like him once, after all, so he must understand more than anyone here what he's feeling.

But he wasn't yet ready for that.

He knows Aizawa could keep their past to himself. However, as much as he respects him, he can't say the same for All-Might.


(01:00:00)

The Danger Room

Time ticked by fast. Not even feeling it, an hour has already passed.

In the Danger Room, the ones on the Hero Side reluctantly got out. In place, several Villains took their place within.

Amanoris had split the usage of the Danger Room for both sides. The Heroes can only use it for the first hour of the break, while the Villains could use it for the rest of the time. It was all done to avoid conflicts between the two sides in a place that allows the usage of Quirks.

Neither side liked it but accepted it nonetheless.

Now, the Villains used the room. Shigaraki dusted dozens in rapid succession, Dabi fought against several fire-using opponents, Toga sliced and diced countless humanoid enemies, modified to squirt out blood as a human would, and more. All the Villains were within the room, not a single one left outside.

Meanwhile, All For One watched the scene.

He knew strong allies would be extremely useful for his goal. Strong as he is, he can't defeat every single Hero out there at the same time, after all. And what better time to train them than now?

He sighed internally. If only he knew how this room works, he could make a replica back in his world – something that would be astonishingly helpful in raising his army.

He hasn't fully explored the Library, he simply couldn't do that in under two hours without any Quirk to aid him.

Even now, using his countless observation Quirks, he couldn't get a clue on how this place works. The only thing he understood was that it worked on technology, not a Quirk of any kind – though that was far too vague to raise any actual conclusions.

The Villain stayed silent as he watched them fight.

He glanced at the control panel. It was regulating each projection that was being fought. He inspected each one. He's already modified each projection to best push each of the League's members to their limits – also their enjoyment. They should be stronger without him watching over them.

He leaned against the wall, pondering. Before this, while Compress was doing who-knows-what, he overheard an interesting detail – one that could very well drive a promising student to Villainy if spreaded.

The only step left is making that happen. Which was much more difficult for them, since he doubted they would just trust his words.

'What to do...'


(00:30:00)

The Library

Yaoyorozu gulped nervously as her homeroom teacher flipped the pages.

She had given the information she found to her teachers and so, for the past hour, a few of them went through the Library. It is a large place, so they can't feasibly go through all books in under an hour, so they made it that a few would focus on that during each break.

One of the teachers was Aizawa-sensei, and so far, there hasn't been anything significant he found.

"Don't overthink it." Her teacher suddenly spoke, eyes still on the book. "Even if there's nothing else that could be useful, it's not somehow your fault."

She looked down, still unsure.

He sighed at her expression. "You still feel inadequate from the Sports Festival, right?"

Her head snapped up, shocked. She tried to deny it but Aizawa quickly followed up.

"Don't try denying it. You tried hiding it, but you can't fool us – well, maybe All-Might." He said, finally putting down the book. "I'm not Hound Dog, I'm not good at this stuff, but stop that. People make mistakes all the time and if you can't rise from it, you're not ready to be a Hero."

She flinched at his harsh words. Despite the hurt that emerged from it, she knew he was right. Even All-Might has failed several times early in his career, but he pushed and became better from it. But her? Even now, after all the time that has passed, there was still that feeling of inadequacy within her.

Seeing her silent, Aizawa sighed. His mouth opened, wanting to finish it at that, but it closed before he could.

"If it makes you feel better, you have potential. Very much so." He said softly. "Your Quirk added with your intelligence, you could become great in the future."

The girl looked at him in astonishment. She never expected to hear that out of him of all people.

"Th-Thank you, Aizawa-sensei."

The man nodded. "Just... don't intern under Uwabami next time."

She snickered lightly. She knew he was correct. Not to disrespect her, she was still a great Hero, but the Snake Heroine wasn't best suited for her.

"Anyway, you can go now." He allowed. "Remember what I said; *progress.* For the better."

Yaoyorozu looked away and nodded half-heartedly, before stepping out of the Library.

Aizawa's gaze stayed at the door for a moment, before returning to the book in his hands. She needs to deal with this on her own.

All this caused sour memories to resurface. Of when he himself was inadequate; when he was far less skilled. But his motivation pushed through. To not let anyone else die under his watch. That was what kept him going through the years.

He only hoped that Yaoyorozu has such motivation to help her go beyond her limits.

'Ugh. I'm getting sappy.' He thought, shaking his head.


(00:01:00)

The Lounge

By now, everyone has already gathered in the considerably large Lounge.

The students still chatted with each other, wondering about what they would see now. For Uraraka especially, she wanted to see how Powder was now – she at least hoped she didn't change much, even if she knew that wasn't likely with Silco in the mix.

The Heroes simply stayed silent, their eyes constantly trained on the Villains.

As for the aforementioned, they were glaring at the Heroes and Hero students. But despite that, many of them couldn't hide their eagerness.

Soon, the doors creaked open, letting the light filter into the Cinema.


Replies to your reviews~!

Review Section-

Q) Will you do the clips from Wild Drift, such as Tresh, Yordles, etc.?

A) Unfortunately, no. For LoL content, I only want the characters to watch Arcane, as that'll keep it more straightforward for me. Plus, Arcane seems to have a separate canon. Sorry for that.

But side note, after Arcane, I'm making them react to The Batman (2022) on a separate Fic. Would be a pretty fun movie to tackle. So if you're interested in that, be ready.

Q) Make RWBY React to Arcane.

A) Sorry again, no. I only like reading and watching RWBY, not so much writing them. But if anyone is making one, feel free to tell me, I'll even advertise it here if I like it :)

Q) When you show the Enemy music video, will it be included in a chapter or a special?

A) A special. But I've decided to release it at the end of Act 2 since, after watching it, I thought it would be most impactful at that time.

Okay, with everything said and done, selamat tinggal!
