All Might's massive form strode forwards, his ferocious glare fixed upon the villains as he stepped forwards, one purposeful step at a time as the students closest to him - the one's who'd fought Kurogiri after he incapacitated Thirteen - cried out with relief; tears streaming down the faces of Ochaco and Mina.
"Inflicting distress and pain upon my students. That is wholly unacceptable," he stated, softening his expression as he looked over Eraserhead and Thirteen, "students, I had a bad feeling when I couldn't contact Aizawa-kun and redoubled my efforts to get here upon coming across Young Iida who explained the overall situation."
"A-All Might... he's really here." Mina cried, hugging Ochaco who desperately returned the gesture.
"Take deep breaths, Young Ashido," All Might advised, gracing the pink-skinned girl with a smile, "Young Sato, take Aizawa-kun and make your way towards U.A., Recovery Girl and her medical robots are on the way with the rest of the school staff. Young Tokoyami, can you use Dark Shadow to carry Thirteen-san and follow Young Sato."
"Yes, sensei."
At the command of his master, Dark Shadow emerged and gingerly picked Thirteen of the ground, handling her like one would with a partially armed grenade. The two students looked at each other and then hurried out of the U.S.J.
"Young Sero, Shoji, Uraraka and Ashido, please get behind me." All Might ordered, staring down at the villains as the remaining students gathered behind him, Mezo even going as far to protectively wrap his arms around the two female students.
"I can see that you have given your all and I cannot express how proud I am of you all," All Might declared, ripping off his tie and tossing it aside, "however, it's alright now, because I AM HERE!"
"We've been waiting for you to arrive, Hero Trash," Tomura sneered; then swept his arm out like an enthusiastic teacher presenting their class to an attentive class, "as you can see, I've been busy... redecorating and playing with your brats."
Some of the villains that Tomura had gathered to his cause now seemed to be on edge, now that they were seeing the Symbol of Peace in person.
"Holy shit, he's absolutely massive."
"I-I've never seen him in the flesh before... I've broken out into a sweat." Another muttered.
One villain with a mohawk and boxing gloves just scoffed, "Oi, moron, did you forget the mission? We're here to kill this asshole!"
Meanwhile, some of the villains whom Itachi had been fighting earlier, namely Pistol Shrimp, Whip Hands and Green Fire Lady, huddled close to Tomura and huffed.
"Boss," Pistol Shrimp said warily, "you really think we can-"
"Yes!" Tomura snapped, resisting the urge to grab the man by his face and disintegrate him right where he stood, as he pulled the katana out of the Nomu's face and reduced it to dust.
Even with his Nomu, how was he supposed to play ball with the Symbol of Peace now that he lacked a hostage?
Stupid brats. He'd enjoy listening to their screams of anguish as he killed them, and he'd start with that annoying red eyed brat for partially blinding him and nearly bisecting Father's hand.
His one eye crinkled with amusement as his Nomu, fully healed, stood up and let out a low hiss.
"Nomu, kill those kids. Start with the one with black hair and red eyes." Tomura ordered, sadistic glee seeping from his voice as his uninjured eye crinkled with anticipation.
Itachi blinked, eyes widening as the Nomu suddenly materialised above him, fists raised to smash him into the dirt.
His Sharingan watched - painfully recording every little detail, from the contraction of several muscles, to the shrinkage of several pores - as the Nomu threw a powerful haymaker at him.
There was no way he'd be able to dodge. It moved fast enough for his Sharingan to barely keep track of it, but his body. Itachi'd be lucky if he managed to so much as twitch before it killed him.
The world suddenly blurred around him, prompting his stomach to do jumping-jacks in protest.
Itachi jerked backwards as he felt solid ground beneath him, expecting to be smashed into a paste but nothing came.
"Yaoyorozu-kun, are you alright?" Ochaco's voice said from besides him
"..?" Itachi turned to her, his crimson eyes darting back and forth, displaying shock as he suddenly processed that he was sat by everyone who fought with him against the Nomu, but they had all been moved to where All Might had just come from.
The man had been so unimaginably fast that the Sharingan had been unable to track everything around Itachi as he was moved from one place to another.
'Shisui, eat your heart out.'
He heard Katsuki's voice scoff from somewhere above him, "Hey, Trench Face, you look like you shat yourself. And you call yourself the Vice-President, Representative, whatever, of these extras? Heh, what a fucking joke."
"Kacchan!" Izuku voice protested, off to his left.
Itachi sent a glare his way, before smoothing out his face and taking note of the fear in Katsuki's eyes that he resolutely kept off his face, "Perhaps you missed the massive beast about to punch me into the floor?"
"Tch, get off your ass, moron." The blond sniffed, looking over to where All Might stood... or at least, where he had been standing.
Itachi followed his gaze and his Sharingan struggled to keep up with the man as he darted around, appearing to be nothing but a white blur to the untrained and trained eye, taking out various villains with one hit, even dashing past Tomura with enough force for the accompanying burst of air to knock off the hand attached to the villain's face.
The one who could control green flames was blown away by a punch that never connected.
He simply used a straightforward punch to create a burst of wind pressure to put out her flames and blow her away, before turning and lunging at the Pistol Shrimp villain who never got a chance to raise his arms to defend himself, as All Might stuck his right arm straight out, not that it would've worked anyway.
"Pennsylvania Smash!"
The villain's eyes bugged out as All Might's massive arm crashed into his throat and sent him flying through the air, unconscious.
"Got you!"
Two fleshy whips circled around the Symbol of Peace and wrapped around him like a pair of starved boa constrictors, prompting him to turn his head and glare at the offender who flinched as his powerful gaze seemed to punch right through her soul.
"No, you haven't. Oklahoma Smash!"
All Might began to rotate at incredible speeds, forming a miniature tornado as he spun like the world's tallest, most muscular spinning top. The rotary action drew more and more of Whip Hand's whips around his body, not at all restricting his movement and yanking the villain towards him.
He stopped spinning and broke free of the fleshy restraints and raised one hand as Whip Hand flew around him, eyes widening as she realised the situation she'd just gotten herself into.
"Wait-"
"Virginia Smash!"
Whip Hands crumpled to the floor as All Might karate chopped over the head, instantly knocking her out.
Having seen all the villains he'd gathered get knocked out by the Symbol of Peace within a few seconds, Tomura hissed and picked the hand up off the floor and placed it against his face, "No... no... no no no, it's no good. I'm sorry, Father. He hit you will taking out my allies, this... government sponsored machine of violence... and he was so damned fast, but the intelligence about you getting weaker? It's perfectly valid."
"All Might," Izuku cried, "the villain with the exposed brain matter, it has kinetic absorption and regeneration quirks. When I hit it with a smash, it fully absorbed the recoil and prevented me from breaking my arm."
Itachi shifted and stood up, "One more thing, its brain is vulnerable. The kinetic absorption quirk doesn't cover the brain, so I'd go for that if I were you. Furthermore, the villains brought that specifically to-"
Itachi paused as All Might turned him, a bright smile on his face as he presented him with a thumbs up.
"Young Midoriya, Young Yaoyorozu, I thank you both for the information," he said, his voice prompting both to relax, "but now, everything will be fine. Leave me to take of these villains. Young Yaoyorozu, take the rest of the students and find the rest of your class. Can you do that for me/"
Itachi nodded and All Might turned back to his opponents.
Bending his knees, the Symbol of Peace launched himself towards Tomura and crossed his arms.
Tomura didn't even twitch, "Nomu."
"Carolina," All Might swept his arms outwards, unleashing his attack into the Nomu to no effect, the excess kinetic energy of his attack only serving to rip up the ground around the creature, "Smash!"
He quickly backpedalled as it attempted to seize him into a bearhug. All Might readied himself; then as the Nomu lunged at him, delivered two powerful punches into its face that would've taken out anyone else, but the creature didn't even appear to notice the hits.
The Nomu threw a punch, aiming to knock his head clear off, but All Might smacked the arm aside and drove the back of his fist into the Nomu's face, "Washington Smash!"
Tomura giggled as his prized weapon barely reacted to the blow.
All Might evaded another set of punches, frowning as he noticed that his attacks were failing to do any sort of proper damage to his opponent who reared back a fist, but he was much quicker on the ball and lunged forwards, getting within the Nomu'd guard before it could deliver its attack.
"Georgia Smash!" He called, slamming both of his fists into the Nomu's chest, once more to no avail.
Itachi was so engrossed in the fight, he didn't notice his name being called until somebody slapped him across the face.
He scowled, ignoring the stinging of his face as he looked up at Ochaco who looked slightly ashamed by what she'd done, "Sorry, Yaoyorozu-kun, but you're our Class Vice-President. We need you to guide us."
Katsuki scoffed.
Itachi nodded and his scarlet orbs scanned over the students he had on hand besides him: Izuku, Tsuyu, Minoru, Katsuki, Shoto, Mezo, Hanta, Mina, Eijiro - who looked like one massive bruise and in no state to be standing - and Ochaco.
"I'm here too!" A feminine voice suddenly called out, prompting everyone to jump.
"Hagakure-san?" Itachi inquired as the ground shook, courtesy of All Might suplexing the Nomu into the ground.
"Yup!"
"...Are you naked right now?"
"Yup!"
"Where did you even come from?"
Shoto suddenly stumbled as an invisible force hit him, "I was with Todoroki-kun who was indiscriminately freezing everything! That's the second time you've nearly frozen to me death!"
"I apologise for that, if I knew you were there, I would've been more careful." The heterochromatic boy replied flatly as one of the unconscious villains begin to wobble around and his clothes began to shift.
"Hagakure-san, what're you doing?" Itachi asked, sharing a glance with Izuku.
"I need clothes! Do you expect me to run around naked?" Toru snapped, slipping the man's shirt off
Izuku choked on his own spit and his face went as red as Itachi's eyes.
"Where's your hero outfit?"
"I took it off," Toru replied, slipping into the clothes which were really baggy on her invisible form, "I didn't want to be seen by the villains."
Katsuki huffed impatiently, "Can we get a fucking move on already?"
Itachi nodded and looked over the assembled students.
"Ashido-san, please stay here with Kirishima-kun, he's in no condition to go anywhere. Stay with them, Hagakure-san" Itachi started.
"But-"
Eijiro groaned, struggling to stay awake, "Lemme up, I-I can fight."
"No, you can't, and no buts, Hagakure-san," Itachi replied, "Uraraka-san, you go with Shoji-kun, Bakugo-kun and Sero-kun to the Conflagration Zone; Tsuyu-san, Midoriya-kun, Todoroki-kun and Mineta-kun, you'll both accompany me to the Mountain Zone."
The class nodded - with the exception of Katsuki who just glowered over being told what to do - and then Izuku suddenly screamed and ran off into the direction of the fighting.
"All Might!"
Itachi turned to look and see what the issue was.
All Might had smashed the Nomu into the ground, but Kurogiri had used his quirk to prevent it from being immobilized, providing it with another warp gate for it to reach through and grab the Symbol of Peace by his abdomen, preventing him from moving as the two warp gates began to close, threatening to slice the No. 1 Hero in two.
Katsuki launched himself towards them, explosions leaping from his palms and Shoto followed behind him.
'Tch, idiots.'
Itachi frowned and turned to the rest of the class, "Let's go."
The two groups ran off and split up.
Tsuyu hopped along the floor, with Itachi keeping pace besides her, but they both had to slow down when it became clear that Minoru wasn't going to be able to keep up with either of the - his short stature allowing strides befitting that of a toddler.
Feeling someone watching him, the raven-haired student glanced to one side and caught Tsuyu looking at him.
"Is something on your mind, Tsuyu-san?"
The frog-like girl just blinked, her expression never changing, "I believe Todoroki-chan said that he saw a burst of electricity from the cliffs ahead of us. It's obviously Kaminari-chan, but do you think he'll be okay?"
Itachi grunted, "Kaminari-kun is a fool, but he's not stupid. I believe that he'll be able to keep himself out of trouble. And his quirk would make anybody wary of getting close to him."
Behind them, Minoru was whimpering and almost sobbing.
"Gah, I just got out of one fight and you two are dragging me straight into another one." He moaned, all while the while peeking at Tsuyu whenever she lowered herself for a jump.
'Huh, that bodysuit hugs her butt quite nicely when she's-"
"Mineta-chan, I'd appreciate it if you stopped looking at me like I'm a piece of meat," Tsuyu deadpanned, bringing the boy out of his daydreaming as the Mountain Zone loomed up ahead of them, "and nobody is dragging you anywhere."
Itachi nodded imperceptibly, "You were more than welcome to object to me choosing you and staying with Ashido-san, Hagakure-san and Kirishima-kun, Mineta-kun."
Suddenly, a dull 'Poff' was heard as a flare rose into the sky, burning brightly for a few seconds before rapidly dimming and fading from view.
"Who would be carrying a flare on them," Tsuyu inquired, "I saw everybody's outfits when we were coming here and nobody had a flare on them."
"Must be the Class President." Minoru stated.
At the two looks he got, one requesting an explanation and the other daring him to start drooling over the thought of the buxom student, he continued, "Well... Yaoyorozu's quirk is allow her create whatever she wants, right? As long as it's non-living. So clearly, she just created a flare gun to signal for help. Isn't that what stranded people who, at least, if they've prepared beforehand."
Itachi hummed, "That is something my sister would do. You're smarter than you let on, Mineta-kun, but don't think I'd let you get anywhere within 6 feet of her because you're capable of thinking with what's between your ears and not what's between your legs."
The boy's face fell, but another glare shut down whatever argument had been brewing in his throat.
"We're here, but there's no way of actually getting up," Tsuyu announced, staring up at the massive cliffs that stood before them, "I'm going to have to throw you both with my tongue."
And throw them she did.
Itachi found himself wobbling on the edge of one of the cliff, precariously balanced on the edge, and with zero chakra to use to maintain his grip on the rock, he had to muster every ounce of abdominal strength he had to prevent himself from tipping backwards until Tsuyu climbed to the top and helped him obtain a better footing.
"Thank you." He said, glancing aside at Minoru who had gone green from him uncontrolled ascent and descent which saw him land on his backside.
"You're welcome." Tsuyu replied.
Walking through a path with boulders lined on either side, and even a friendly-looking quicksand pit if one wanted to try their hand to slowly sinking to their death, the trio soon came across as rocky clearing which had Momo and Kyoka stood on one side, and opposite them was a villain wearing a hockey mask and holding a braindead Denki hostage.
Minoru very nearly yelled out, but Itachi clamped his hand over the shorter boy's mouth and they took cover behind a rock.
Tsuyu blinked, "What do we do, Kaminari-chan is a hostage."
Itachi removed his hand from Minoru's mouth and frowned, peeking out from behind the rock as the villain taunted his sister and the rocker girl, bringing his electrified hand closer to the boy's face as the latter tried to make a discreet move.
"Don't try anything, girlie," the villain sneered as Denki yay'ed his life away, "I ain't stupid, 'cause only a moron would fall for a little trick like that... and you, brats, behind the rock, come out with your hands up."
Minoru squirmed, "What, he knows we're here? How?"
I don't know, but Kaminari-chan is at his mercy. We should do as he says." Tsuyu said, looking at Itachi for approval.
"Agreed," Itachi deactivated his Sharingan, not willing to take the risk of the villain seeing him with his quirk active and, misunderstanding it to be a threat, shocking the life out of Denki, "no funny business, either of you."
Stepping out from behind the rock, aware that Tsuyu and Minoru were huddled together behind him, Itachi held his hands up in the air as he walked towards the villain who positioned himself so he'd be able to see all five of them from his peripheral vision if necessary.
He walked forwards until the villain pointed a single finger at him.
"That's close enough, brat, stop right there." The man sneered, electricity buzzing around his outstretched finger.
Itachi took one more step, ignoring the horrified yelp of Minoru.
He ceased his advance as a stream of electricity leapt from the man's finger, prompting Momo to let out a scream as his nose was filled with the smell of ozone; the bolt shot past him and impacted against the rock he'd been hiding behind just moments ago, causing it to explode.
'Okay, so he's not bluffing. Now then...'
"Ignore me again, kid. Next time, I won't miss." The villain snarled, eyes narrowing behind his mask.
"I'm curious to know, how did you know we were hiding," Itachi inquired, briefly looking past the man to check up on his sister and Kyoka who besides having dirt on their form, seemed relatively unharmed, "being an electricity user, you lack a sensory quirk. So, I'm curious to know."
'My quirk isn't an option, since he'd probably kill Kaminari-kun if he noticed me using it. My katana has been destroyed by that childish idiot with the hands; density seals are laying about somewhere in the courtyard where I fought those villains with Aizawa-sensei and shuriken will be far too slow. Curse my lack of chakra.' Itachi thought, scowling to himself.
Momo was having a similar dilemma.
'Creation is slow and too flashy to use discreetly. I could create an anaesthetic, but I don't know any formula's off the top of my head and even with a distraction, Kaminari-san is right there. Also, a lightning rod is far too big and would it even work with that villain's hand right next to Kaminari-san's face?'
The villain cocked his head to one side.
"You fucking with me, kid? 'Cause if you are, your friend is dead meat."
The Sharingan-quirk user shook his head, "No, I'm genuinely interested."
The man snorted, shifting his weight from one foot to the other, but began to detail his quirk.
"Fuck me, if you really wanna know," the villain grumbled, rolling his eyes in exasperation, "I can generate bioelectricity. You know, all the electrical signals that travel along our nervous system. It's as simple as that, nothing overly special about it, but I can also sense of the bioelectric signals of other creatures. The girlie with you stands out like a sore thumb amongst all of you; must have something to do with your quirk."
"I see."
'Also, an electricity user threatening another electricity user," Itachi thought, furrowing his brows as a tremendous impact shook the U.S.J., followed by the Nomu flying past them and through the skylight, prompting several nearby lights to explode from the impact, 'won't he just... recharge Kaminari-kun? It's a gambit, a potentially fatal one at that, but it's one I'm willing to take.'
The villain glowered at him, "Is that it? I see. I tell you everything about my quirk and that's all I get?"
"Yaotachi is just a different breed," Kyoka said loudly, a smirk on her face, "unless you could do something like bring the dead back to life or manipulate time, nothing will faze him."
"AH, so you were fucking with me," the villain snapped, holding out his free hand and creating a ball of electricity, "say goodbye to your friend, asshole!"
Almost everyone screamed - the exceptions being Itachi, who was simply too cool to scream, and Tsuyu, who always had her emotions under check - as the villain slammed the ball of electricity into Denki's face, causing his body to jerk as millions of volts coursed through his system and seemingly fried him.
Momo stumbled backwards, falling to her knees as her onyx orbs began to water.
"No..."
Tsuyu's lower lip trembled and Minoru began bawling.
Itachi watched impassively, praying to every god he could think off that his hypothesis had been correct.
Although she looked incredibly distraught, Kyoka, who had one of her jacks inserted into the ground, smirked and tilted her head after a few seconds of listening, especially as she saw the out-of-view thumbs up see received.
"Huh," the villain murmured, slackening his grip of Denki, "you're cold, brat. You didn't even care about your buddy. Man, you'd make a great-"
He flinched, grunting in surprise as Denki jerked to life with a massive shit-eating grin in his face as he slipped his arms up through the gap created by the villain's loose grip and placed his hands against either side of the man's head.
"Wait-"
"I'd be sorry about this, sucker, but I really ain't, and by the way, thanks for the juice," Denki said, smirking as yellow electricity sparked to life beneath his hands; the villain's eyes widened with fear, "Controlled Shock: Defibrillation!"
There was a sharp electrical 'Crack', followed by the man seizing up for a second. As his arms flopped to his sides, allowing Denki to slip out of his grip, the barely conscious villain dropped his knees and then cried out, crumpling like a sack of potatoes as bullets flew through his elbows
The cracking sound of gunfire reverberated into their ears barely a second afterwards as Denki scrambled away from the man.
"Whoa!" Denki whined, all bravado gone as he scrambled over to Itachi who gave him a quick once over.
"Gunfire," Momo immediately crouched as she wiped her tears away, reducing the amount of available area a shooter would've shot at if they could see her, "Where from?"
Kyoka pointed, her eyes narrowing, "At the U.S.J.'s entrance. Look, is that Iida?"
Itachi turned to look and sure enough, Iida was there, stood at the top of the U.S.J stairs which led to the main courtyard and he was flanked by various other teachers, including the likes of Present Mic, Ectoplasm, Midnight and Vlad King.
Vlad King seemed to have a rodent-of-sorts perched on his shoulder and there was another teacher; a man dressed like a cowboy with a steampunk-like gasmask and he was holding a revolver and seemingly firing at random without aiming at anything in particular.
Unbeknownst to Itachi, the man was gunning down any leftover villains within U.S.J.'s simulated environments, incapacitating them with less-than-lethal shots to the hands, arms and legs.
He seemed to have a thing for going for people's knees though.
And as for Tenya, as one might expect of him, despite being on the other side of the building, the bespectacled student was still loud enough for Itachi to hear his announcement.
"I came here as fast as I could with as many teachers as I could gather," Tenya bellowed over Present Mic's screaming which take out several more villains, "I, Tenya Iida, have returned, reporting for duty!"
Denki snickered, "Wow, what a guy. We should start calling him Drill Sergeant Iida."
Momo glanced at the blond boy, still slightly perplexed over how her fellow student hadn't been killed, "Excuse me, Kaminari-kun, but how did you not... well, die when that villain shocked you?"
Kyoka frowned and crossed her arms, also interested.
"Hehe, you were worried about me Yaoyorozu, eh," Denki asked with a cocky smirk, "well, um, the closest guess is that I'm like a battery. If I discharge too much electricity at once, I'll go brain-dead, kind of of like how a circuit with too much electricity following through it will blow the fuse to stop the appliance from being destroyed. However, give me a shock, or replace my fuse, and I'm good to go."
The Creation-quirk user frowned lightly, as if dissatisfied by the answer, but nodded and accepted it.
Kyoka snorted, "I'm surprised he knows what a fuse is."
"And you, Yaoyorozu," Denki cheered, the snide remark going right over his head as he bounded over to Itachi who simply stared at him, "you were awesome, stepping up to the villain like that!"
Itachi blinked, "You saw that?"
"Well, duh," Denki looked offended, "I was brain-dead, but I wasn't deaf or blind."
"Ah."
"Kaminari!" Minoru screaming, rugby tackling the knees of his fellow pervert.
"Eyy, Mineta, I missed you too, buddy!"
"I'd hate to interrupt your little reunion," Itachi deadpanned, "but we have a teacher waiting for us. Please, let's not keep Ectoplasm-sensei waiting."
The students turned to the cloaked pro hero who was stood by the edge of the cliff, waiting for them to approach.
As they walked over to the man, he took the time to look over each and every one of them, scanning their physical states for injuries.
Itachi gave his sister a look and Momo stepped forwards, presenting herself to the teacher who snapped his attention to her, fixing her under his unreadable gaze, "Yaoyorozu Momo, Class President of Class 1-A. Are you injured?"
"No, sir!"
"Regarding your incident at the Entrance Exam... are you in need of immediate sustenance?"
"No, sir!"
Ectoplasm nodded and looked over the others, "And the rest of you?"
The rest of the students shook their heads, thought Itachi felt inclined to inform him of some of the hits he'd taken when fighting the villains.
"Sir," he said, "I'm not injured, but I was struck by the concussive blast of a man with a quirk that made him resemble a pistol shrimp. adrenaline may have allowed me to shrug off the impact, but I will admit that I may be sporting a large bruise."
He ignored the feeling of Momo's eyes falling on him.
"Will you be able to walk unaided?" Ectoplasm inquired.
"Yes, sir."
"Would you like to attend the infirmary for an emergency check-up?"
"No, sir."
"Very well," Ectoplasm then turned around and began to descend down a pathway that literally blended in with the rest of the cliffside, "Please, follow me. We must return you all to U.A. as soon as."
The students followed him down.
At the base of the Mountain Zone, Hound Dog was stood, glaring at everything that moved and tightly holding onto something in his right hand.
The two teachers exchanged a nod.
As Itachi got close, the man stopped, held out a hand and started barking and howling ferociously at him. Itachi just stood there, confused as it why he was being assaulted with dog noises until Ectoplasm put him out of his misery.
"He says, and I quote, 'I believe these are yours? Take them, boy, they're surprisingly heavy'." Ectoplasm translated, eliciting a giggle from Denki despite the stone-cold seriousness of his voice.
Kyoka punched him in the arm as Itachi took the hyper-density seals
"Stop laughing, moron."
Denki kept snickering, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just couldn't take him seriously when he was barking in Yaoyorozu's face like that."
"I'll admit," Momo added with a small smile as they approached the courtyard that had a circular cement construct erected at one part, "it was quite funny."
Itachi disagreed.
A cement block of a teacher smiled and waved at them, "Greetings. It's good to see you all in one piece. Please, move along, definitely nothing to see behind this construct."
The students shrugged and continued past, but Itachi could've sworn he heard Izuku's voice speak from within the construct.
'Who is he talking too and where did All Might go? Surely, he wouldn't have ran off after being the villain with the hands and his weapon.' Itachi thought, wondering if All Might was also hidden within the construct.
Left alone in the U.S.J, barring the teachers who were gathered outside the construct erected by Cementoss, the skinny form of All Might smiled down at Izuku Midoriya who went bright red as his body rapidly began to acknowledge the pain signals coming from his broken legs.
He'd broken his legs trying to save his mentor before Kurogiri could bisect him, but Katsuki had gotten there first, screaming at him to get out the way as the launched an explosion into the villain's bracer, destroying it and causing the gaseous-like form to flare up out of control.
Only the appearance of the another warp gate that materialised while All Might and the Nomu fought, this gate having a black sludge-like appearance, stopped Kurogiri from killing himself as red and black tendrils emerged from the extra gate and pierced Kurogiri's form, stabilizing him in an instant.
"Once more, Young Midoriya, I must thank you." All Might said, smiling down at the broken boy who began to tear up at the praise.
"All Might..."
"Hehehe, stop it with the tears, Young Midoriya," All Might continued as a hole opened up in the wall to his left, allowing several medical robots in, "if it wasn't for you, I'd be dead. You should be proud of yourself."
"I am, but, um... All Might, I have something to tell you?" Izuku said, his tentative voice causing uneasy to build in All Might's stomach.
"Go on."
"I-I, u-u-um, I-I," Izuku found himself stuttering up a storm until a raised hand prompted him to stop and start again, "what I was going to say is that Itachi might know about One For All."
The skinny man stood before him blanched, "What the quirk is or what the quirk's name is?"
"The name." Izuku admitted.
All Might sighed, his bony shoulders sagging, "How?"
"Well, you know how Itachi's Sharingan can read and predict movements?" Izuku started, getting a nod, "I nearly blurted out One For All in-front of him, but stopped when I realised what I was about to say. but I think his quirks ability to read ahead may've provided him with the full name."
"Young Midoriya... how many people know about One For All now?"
The green-haired boy blushed through the pain he was feeling, "Potentially, Yaoyorozu-kun, and while he doesn't believe me, Kacchan."
All Might chuckled, "You're terrible at keeping secrets, Young Midoriya. Barely a week into your school year and 10% of your class might know about One For All. Still, the partial utterance of the name alone may've piqued Yaoyorozu-kun interest, so even if he doesn't push the issue, we may have to sate his curiosity. Tell me, Young Midoriya, do you believe Yaoyorozu-kun will be able to keep a secret?"
Izuku answered without an ounce of hesitation.
"Yes."
A/N: And that's Chapter 14 for you guys. Hope you all enjoyed. Stay in good health and the beginning of the U.A. Sports Festival Arc will be with you soon.
