Chapter 6: Kingsman: The Secret Service: Part 1
Once everyone got seated, The Executive stood before the screen in front of everyone.
"Would you all say that it is the obligation of a hero to save the world were it to be in danger?"
The tall man's question brought to everyone's mind the events of The Avengers, Captain America, and even Johtunheim from Thor to some extent.
"Of course, it's the duty of a hero to protect people from villain attacks. On any scale.", answered All Might. All of the students and other heroes could agree to that.
The villains only scoffed at the claim. Of course that would be the obvious answer were a hero to be put on the spot like that. Especially the once Number 1 to his adoring fans, even if retired.
"So you assume that most world-ending threats stem from villains that must be defeated and subdued? What is your solution towards a threat that cannot be beaten through physical combat alone?"
All Might and the students and other heroes were left confused from the inquiry, wondering by what could've been implied by such a statement.
Daryl then spoke up from his seat.
"What he means is, what are you gonna do against a problem that can't be solved with a punch, kick, or anything else all of you can do? In other words, what are you prepared to do in order to 'save the world?' What are you willing to give and what are you willing to take?"
Hawks was beginning to have an inkling on what the two men were asking them. Even if it wasn't to such a scale, he followed through with every order given to him from the commission. No matter how ugly it got. He knew what would happen if he didn't and it wasn't just civilian lives that came to mind. All he had to do was look back on his old colleague when she wanted out.
The Executive continued.
"In this quirkless world, the heroes and villains face the same question. And yet they follow through their actions with the public never being aware of them."
He then phased through the ground, falling back into his previous seat. This time however, his descent was slower, enough for him to notify the nearby villains of his presence.
"A quirkless world? Ugh, lame!", Bakugo complained, dissatisfied with this particular piece of information. From that wording, it sounded like this was gonna be Redhead and Arrow Guy all over again. Only this time they would be taking center stage. Just great, at least the world in Megamind wasn't completely quirkless.
Yet the audience was intrigued with the idea of both heroes and villains remaining a secret to the public. It was usually villains and vigilantes that decided to remain secluded. They wondered how similar it would be to underground hero work. This is what ran through the minds of Midoriya, Hawks and Aizawa as the film began.
0:00:00-0:00:42
"20th Century Fox…huh another old film company.", noted Aizawa as the company intros scrolled through.
"So does that mean we're gonna be watching different movies from different universes? Instead of stories taking place in the same alternate universe?", asked Midoriya as he got his notebook ready.
"That is both correct and incorrect.", stated The Executive.
"Huh? What does that mean?", asked Sero with a headtilt.
Daryl then elaborated on the tall man's response.
"He means that some of the stories you'll see will eventually take place in the same world or at least one parallel to them. We'll be showing you those consecutively so we'll let you know when we get there. As for the rest of them, they'll be taking place in their own worlds. Some will be nearly identical to the Earth of your past like the MCU, others will be pretty freaking obvious."
The audience was immediately interested in whatever they were going to see in the future, starting with this world. Many wondered how different it would be compared to the others and what made it stand out. Most likely this Kingsman guy would have something to do with it.
Jiro noticed and recognized the opening lyrics to a certain song that began playing.
"Sounds like we're starting off with a bang…", said the earjack girl, approving of the track with a nod.
0:00:42-0:01:47
(Money For Nothing by Dire Straits begins playing)
"So we're starting off in the Middle East in 1997.", said Midoriya as he wrote down the location and date.
"I'm already getting Iron Man vibes from this.", noted Mirio, speaking for everyone of the similarities noticed between the openings of the two films.
"Seems like a raid on a stronghold.", said Naomasa, with the Chisaki raid coming to the minds of those that had been involved.
"Who cares? At least we get to start off with some action instead of some bullshit monologue!", yelled Bakugo as he enjoyed the sight and sound of the building being blown up by some explosions and gunfire. Even if they were small explosions, he wasn't picky.
0:01:47-0:01:56
"Those guys were on the helicopter, are they interrogating this guy?", asked Midoriya, wondering what he knows that could be so important for the whole raid.
"SHUT UP AND WATCH THE MOVIE DEKU!!!", yelled the explosive student, silencing his now nervously sweating classmate.
The heroes were also nervous, but for the bound man. He was being threatened to surrender some crucial information by whoever these tactical forces were.
"Let's hope things don't escalate too badly.", All Might said with slight concern.
0:01:56-0:02:17
Things didn't go in favor of the once Number 1 hero as they quickly escalated.
Everything that happened next happened without any time for anyone to process.
If the two unexpected shots to each of the captives' knees didn't make some audience members flinch, the grenade certainly did.
"He was willing to smother the grenade knowing it'd kill him, that man was a true hero.", stated Spinner, the reptilian villain stil shaken from the event but also reminded of Captain America's similar action during his training.
Only this was clearly not a dummy grenade in use.
The heroes and students were taken aback by how this was starting off, the training wheels certainly had come off now.
0:02:17-0:02:56
"He should've checked the man more thoroughly for the explosive, at least he acknowledges it.", said Aizawa.
"Remember everyone: even if you've apprehended a villain, they won't always allow themselves to be sent to prison. If they're still conscious, be wary for any attempts on their own life, especially if it could cost the lives of others."
"Yes, sensei!", both classes stated, although still a bit rattled from what transpired.
Some villains were glad to see some promised death this early on.
Midoriya began taking note of the names of those mentioned.
Merlin
James/Lancelot
It was then that Kingsman was mentioned.
"Welcome to Kingsman?", the green-haired boy wondered.
Until it finally clicked.
"Kingsman isn't a hero… it must be an organization, like a hero agency!", Midoriya thought out loud, his revelation dawning to the rest the audience that didn't catch on.
"Wait… I thought his name was James. Why'd he call him Lancelot?", asked Mina.
"If Midoriya's claim is true, then James must've just been accepted into Kingsman and given the name.", Iida deduced.
He found it strange since usually codenames or hero names were created much earlier in the process, during the very beginning of the training instead of at the very end. If that was true then, if they were to go by that logic, they would receive or create their own hero names by the time they graduated.
0:02:56-0:03:45
As the scene shifted to London, the atmosphere only got heavier as the unnamed man spoke to the mother and newly made widow.
"That poor woman… to lose your spouse when they gave their lives in the line of duty.", said Recovery Girl, shaking her head with pity.
She, along with the other heroes, had seen many lost to battles with villains. It never got easier and the hardest part had to have been breaking the news to their loved ones.
The Pussycats could never forget the day when Kota's parents were killed by the villain Muscular. Much less having to break the news to the now-orphaned child.
Snipe took his hat down as a token of respect to the fallen hero.
The heroes and students felt crestfallen from the awful news given, yet wondered why the man couldn't elaborate on his death.
"He just died and he's not even gonna tell her what happened to him?", asked a slightly frustrated Nejire.
"The Executive did say they operate in secret.", Amajiki responded to his blond friend.
Nejire still didn't like it, wanting to know for what reason they could have.
Mirio had a slight idea of a reason but didn't want to think of it for now. For now, his attention was on the medal that was being offered.
0:03:45-0:04:27
"And it's Christmas? Of all the times to lose a parent on Christmas?", Uraraka said drearily as she noticed the Christmas tree and decorations in the apartment.
"Egssy, what kind of name is that?", asked Ojiro.
"It could be a nickname of sorts.", Todoroki said flatly.
"Hopefully that kid doesn't swallow that medal or something since it's in memory of his dad and a- OWW!!", Kaminari cried out as Jiro jabbed him with her earjack for the insensitive comment.
"It's the only thing he's got to remember his dad, like hell he's gonna try to eat it.", she said slightly irritated.
Meanwhile Midoriya wrote down the name of the young boy, hoping he'll have some part to play in this story.
0:04:27-0:04:53
(Title Drop)
"Man, these transitions are amazingly smooth!", said Present Mic as the child's snow globe changed to show the title.
"Hmm… I wonder? Perhaps Kingsman is this 'secret service' in the film's title, given the what we know of it to some extent.", Nezu noted.
"Maybe. Also, since seventeen years have passed that boy has probably grown up by now.", Cementos stated after seeing the location and time stamp.
This lead to people speculating in that boy playing a part in this film, perhaps to become a hero by joining Kingsman.
0:04:53-0:05:28
"And now we've got another hostage situation, although I'm guessing these aren't heroes since they've got some professor.", said Midnight.
"At least they're proving to be quite the hosts with their captive.", noted Compress, glad to see they're not complete brutes or savages by offering the man Whiskey.
0:05:28-0:05:44
When someone knocked on the door, the League of Villains got a sense of déjà vu from the situation.
"Don't open that door…", Shigaraki whined with an irritated tone.
"At least ask who it is before you open it. If it's not your boss then start firing.", added Toga as they saw the men take out their guns.
The villains had already learned their lesson from the last time someone knocked on their door when they had a hostage.
0:05:44-0:05:53
"It's James…erm, I mean, Lancelot!", cheered Mina, who was still slightly a bit confused on the man's name.
"At a lone cabin on top of a snowy mountain, it would be a stretch for such a menial request.", noted Iida, taking the quip a tad too literally.
0:05:53-0:06:20
The heroes and students were impressed how Lancelot was capable of defeating the goons, although some were more than willing to do without the blood. Perhaps incapacitating them at least.
"I know he's supposed to be saving this man, but is dispatching those men really necessary?", asked Momo, who also couldn't help but feel like she's heard of the hero's name before.
"Keep in mind, in this quirkless world they'll mostly rely on weapons to battle villains and hired hands. They might not even be technically classified as heroes here. They'll probably do what needs to be done in order to save people.", noted Hawks.
"I guess that's fair…", the Creation student acknowledged, even if she wasn't sure to agree with it.
The students, while remembering agents like Black Widow and Hawkeye, had recalled how at one point in their lives, they'll be put in a position to take the lives of villains to save civilians.
Something they'd rather not think about.
"My, he's so debonair.", said Midnight, already swept off her feet from the suave man.
The villains, save for one who enjoyed the blood in the quick battle, already despised Lancelot's bravado.
0:06:20-0:06:36
"Man, he was able to catch that drink before the guy could've dropped it! That was awesome!", said Kirishima, who felt like he was watching the pinnacle of manliness at work.
"Damn right it was!", Tetsutetsu yelled in agreement.
"Hmmm… he has a point. Not a bad brand, would certainly be a waste.", Kurogiri noted to the brand of whiskey.
"Perhaps he'll be one of Eggsy's teachers, his skills are impressive in terms of stealth.", noted All Might.
0:06:36-0:06:48
"It's not over yet. Seems like there's one more.", said Aizawa, who for the most part was impressed with the man's efficiency.
"Could it be their employer?", said Snipe who noticed another figure knocking at the door.
Everyone was on high alert over the person behind the door…
0:06:48-0:06:58
…so the swift action taken on the agent from behind didn't immediately register to most of the audience.
"Wha-huh? What just happened?", asked Uraraka, worried for Lancelot's well being.
"What the hell was that?", asked Shoji, who usually would've been able to spot an enemy from any direction. So to have a front-row seat to such a sneak attack was slightly disorienting to him.
"I don't know, it was so fast…", said Midoriya, whose concern only grew from seeing a vertical line appear on Lancelot's confused face as his nose began to bleed.
0:06:58-0:07:15
Gasps and screams of horror burst from the heroes and students of the audience as Lancelot "parted" from the film to reveal his assassin. Many covered their mouths, either in shock or to keep from getting sick.
The villains were more delighted to hear such a symphony of fear, despite the fact that some of them were slightly intimidated by the woman's speed and stealth surpassing the hero's.
"Heh, that was quick.", Shigaraki said with a grin spreading on his face. He wondered if this film will go for three heroes dying.
"Sh-sh-she… she cut him in half… in an instant.", stuttered a shaken Midoriya as he wrote down Lancelot's unexpected demise with a trembling hand.
James
Hero Name: Lancelot
Sliced vertically in half by a mystery villainess
"And it was a clean cut too! Like butter!", Sero said unsteadily.
"She's kinda hot… but scary too!", said a trembling Mineta.
"ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING MAN!?! SHE'S GOT SWORDS FOR LEGS!!! SHE COULD CUT YOUR BALLS OFF WITH THEM, AND I DON'T MEAN THE ONES ON YOUR HEAD!!!", yelled Awase towards the purple perv.
Kamakiri wouldn't admit it out loud but he was disturbed that someone armed with something similar to his own Razor Sharp quirk could dispatch someone so easily like that.
He knew how easy it was for him to end up accidentally dismembering someone, but to see such blade-work used on someone like that with murderous intent? It made him shiver.
He remained silent, reassuring himself that he couldn't be too careless with his quirk lest he causes the same bodily harm as that before him.
"Th-th-they appear to be some form of custom-made prosthetics, but what madman would have such weapons manufactured!?!", asked Momo, who had a hand over her chest from her still-racing heart.
"I fear we are about to find out.", Iida responded with dread.
0:07:15-0:07:20
"How the hell is he supposed to hold them, sword-leg lady?! His hands are tied!!!", cried out Mineta.
0:07:20-0:07:36
"Oh… right… sword legs.", the grape student recalled.
"She's using towels to… cover the bodies? Why?", asked Ojiro.
0:07:36-0:07:56
Many were anticipating that the employer of both the goons and the assassin would be behind the door. However, no one was expecting to see a familiar face from this film.
"NICK FURY?!?!", most of the audience cried out in shock.
"W-wh-what's he doing here?!", asked Midoriya.
"How's this even possible?! I thought he was in the MCU!", said a bewildered All Might, scratching his head at the sight.
"Hey! What the hell is going on!?!", yelled Bakugo towards the two suited men.
In response to the ongoing confusion, The Executive stood up and (to the surprise of everyone) floated into the air and drifted to the center of the screen, facing the confused crowd.
"HE CAN FLY TOO?!?", everyone thought to themselves.
(click,click)
After clicking his pen, the movie paused.
"Everyone please remain calm, the man before you is not Nicholas Joseph Fury. He is but a variant of him."
"A…variant?", asked Naomasa.
"An alternate version of yourself from another universe.", noted Daryl from his seat.
"That is correct.", the tall man stated, confirming his colleague's statement. The Executive continued.
"The names, personalities and appearances of variants may differ in numerous ways. Some may be near identical in most aspects while others can be radically different entirely."
"So even though they look the same, they're not the same person but different versions of each other? Is that what I'm picking up?", asked Makoto.
"Your assessment is accurate.", The Executive confirmed.
"Hell, there's a variant of both of them that's an actor named Samuel L. Jackson, who in his universe, portrays those two in their own franchises where both are works of fiction in that reality.", Daryl elaborated.
While that notion was enough to get some people's heads spinning, something else also got some students curious.
"Do we have variants of our own?", asked Midoriya after raising his hand.
After a short moment of silence, The Executive gave his answer.
"Yes, but that is a topic for another time. Let us return to the film.", the tall man said as he shut the conversation down and descended back towards his seat.
0:07:56-0:08:26
"So he's squeamish here, guess that explains the towels.", said Kendo.
"He doesn't like blood? How could he get sick from seeing blood?", Toga asked, honestly baffled by such a concept. Her fellow League members either didn't have the heart to tell her or just didn't care how no one else had as much of an obsession with blood as her.
"He kidnapped him to make him friends? Yeah I'm not getting any good feelings from him here unlike in the MCU.", stated Aizawa, with the other pro-heroes and even some students in tow.
"It appears that he may be the villain of this film.", said Ectoplasm, noting the possibility.
Midoriya also wrote down the Nick Fury Variant's appearance and his deadly assistant in his notebook, marking down the teacher's hunch as well.
"He's got a blade-legged assassin working for him and yet he can't even stand the sight of blood? What kind of lame villain is he?", said Shigaraki, viewing this variant as weak. At least Fury had some balls.
0:08:26-0:09:08
"It's that other man from the opening.", said Todoroki as the scene transitioned.
The green-haired boy already got himself prepared to write down his identity alongside anyone else that would be introduced as the man entered the seemingly average tailor shop with Kingsman on the front.
0:09:08-0:09:16
"His codename is Galahad. And Arthur looks like he might be the one in charge, given his age.", noted Midoriya as he jotted down the names.
Meanwhile Momo sat in thought. She had heard of the names Lancelot and Merlin before but couldn't quite pin it down. It wasn't until she heard the names Arthur and Galahad that finally jogged her memory.
"So that's it! Of course!", announced Yaoyorozu.
"What is, Momo?", asked Tsu.
"Their codenames. They're all named after the Knights of the Roundtable, from the British legends of King Arthur.", said the creation student.
"They're a staple of classic literature, stories taking place in Medieval England surrounding the legend of King Arthur and his closest companions: The Knights of The Roundtable."
"King Arthur, how could I have overlooked such iconic tales of bravery and nobility?! Their stories may as well have set the foundation on what being a hero is meant to be today! I apologize for not recognizing those names sooner!", Iida stated, bowing his head in shame for failing to recall the books he had read as a child.
0:09:16-0:09:32
"What does he mean others? They're the only ones there.", said Kaminari, believing the older man might be seeing things.
Until everyone saw what the two men saw.
"WOAH!!! THOSE GLASSES CAN SHOW SECRET HOLOGRAMS OF PEOPLE!!!", Hatsume cried out with excitement. She could already tell that there were gonna be some incredible babies in this film to make up for the lack of quirks and she was all for it.
"Incredible, it seems like an advanced form of a video call.", noted Melissa. She wondered if such technology was exclusive to the Kingsman.
"And counting the two that are physically in the room and excluding the empty seat, there appears to be 10 members total, just like the Knights of the Roundtable.", said Momo.
At the mention of the former agent, the heroes and students felt gloomy but also slightly glad that they were honoring their fallen friend.
0:09:32-0:09:40
"To Lancelot!", many of the students and heroes called out, joining the toast with drinks of their own.
0:09:40-0:09:56
"They're replacing him already? That was fast.", said Sato, who thought that it might be a bit rushed.
Even if it was, heroes in their world were practically replaced all the time. Whenever someone retired or died during a heated battle with a villain, the next hero wouldn't be that far behind.
0:09:56-0:10:01
"Merlin… was he also a knight Yaoyorozu?", Midoriya asked his classmate.
"No,", Momo responded," Merlin was actually a mage or what's more commonly known as a wizard that aided Arthur throughout his life, being a form of mentor-figure to the boy that would eventually become king of Camelot."
That got the 9th One For All user thinking: since their stories sound so similar to his own, would that make All Might his Merlin? Such an idea of All Might being a wizard put a smile on his face.
0:10:01-0:10:43
That smile faded when it was brought up on what the old Lancelot was investigating.
"My god… and the Fury Variant is responsible for all of that?", All Might asked as he clenched the armrests of his seat.
None of the heroes and students liked what was suspected of the Variant and what could've been his doing.
The villains, while impressed, were also just curious on what he was doing since there were no quirks to be had in this world.
0:10:43-0:11:06
"He's not missing? So what, that Variant guy just let the professor go?", asked Shigaraki, seeing it as a waste of a hostage.
The heroes and students had similar suspicion towards the strange reason for the man's release.
Midoriya made sure to write down the professor's freed status and his profession.
0:11:06-0:11:49
The villains eyed Arthur with discontent, wanting to know what he meant by Eggsy's father not being, "one of us". Even though some had a fair idea already.
"Galahad is right, he was as just as much a hero and Kingsman than any of them!", growled Spinner, furious at the cocky older man for saying otherwise. He didn't know that many willing to take a deadly explosive by smothering it with their own body and sacrifice themselves for others like that.
He did chuckle at what Galahad called him though, along with the whole "weak chin" thing.
0:11:49-0:12:06
"He's all grown up now.", said Midnight as the audience saw the child Eggsy now a young adult.
"Oh he most certainly has…", Pixie-Bob said flirtatiously.
Her fellow Pussycats could only roll their eyes.
"And he still has the medal.", noted Midoriya.
Some of the audience took note of the military portrait on the shelf.
0:12:06-0:13:04
"His mother's new lover is simply deplorable.", Iida said in disgust of the comment of "3 being good company."
The rest of the heroes and students were in the same opinion of the man's crude nature.
"She could do so much better than him.", said Hagakure, pitying the poor woman who was probably left devastated and vulnerable following her husband's death.
0:13:04-0:13:54
"That's exactly what I'm saying!", the invisible girl agreed with Eggsy and his friends as the scene changed to show him at a local pub.
However the mood only seemed to sour further as the terrible man's son and his friends forced Eggsy and his group to leave.
"That's right! You stand up to those jerks!", cheered Kirishima when he saw Eggsy get out of his chair to face the bully…
…only to pat his arm and apologize, leaving immediately after.
"What?! Oh come on! Are they seriously wimping out on teaching those assholes a lesson!?", Bakugo shouted in disappointment.
"Well, I for one am glad that Eggsy is choosing to do the more admirable and responsible action of de-escalating the situation by walking away.", Iida said, beaming with pride towards the young man.
Many of the heroes and U.A. staff were in agreement with the 1A Class Representative over Eggsy's wise decision.
"Tch, teacher's pet…", Bakugo grumbled.
0:13:54-0:14:48
Eggsy immediately fell back into Bakugo's favor and out of Iida and the heroes after revealing what he pulled out of his pocket. Something that he had apparently taken from the bully's pocket.
"Did… did he just…?", Kaminari stuttered, pointing at the screen.
"Hell. Yes.", Bakugo said with a sneer.
As the mischievous trio gathered into the car and began doing donuts, everyone's opinion of Eggsy had changed drastically.
Bakugo was laughing his ass off at seeing the joyride taking place while the bully was left whining about his stolen car and bitching to his dad over the phone.
"This is unacceptable! Does he have no shame!? He's a complete delinquent!!!", Iida shouted, chopping his arm manically in a mechanic fashion. He was already getting flashbacks of the first day in U.A. with Bakugo propping his feet on the desk.
"So he's a liar and a thief, quite the hero we're starting off at.", said Dabi. He and the other villains were enjoying the show.
"Another undisciplined problem child… just great.", said Aizawa, crossing his arms and shaking his head in disapproval with several of the U.A. staff following in the same action.
0:14:48-0:16:00
"And now the police are involved…", Vlad King grumbled, disappointed in Eggsy's actions.
That same disappointment was shared between all of the pro-heroes. Alongside the UA Staff, several students could only look away in shame as the joyride and now turned into a high-speed police chase.
"He's going to get himself and his friends arrested at this rate!", shouted Momo, sharing a similar amount of disapproval as the staff with a dash of concern.
Koda smiled a bit as the boy avoided running over a fox despite his friends' objections, even if it ended the chase. Even if he was a delinquent as his classmate had deemed him, he wasn't completely heartless.
"He's helping his friends get away.", noted Mirio as Eggsy told them to get out of the car and make a run for it.
"Seems only fair. He stole the keys and it was his idea to steal the car; they only joined him when he asked them to, making them only accessories to his crime. Eggsy is the instigator.", Amajiki pointed out to his blond friend, leaving his shy mode to enter hero mode for this instance of insight.
"Well at least this means he'll be turning himself in…", Nejire said with some relief, right before flinching a bit from Eggsy making sure the police would be solely focused on him.
0:16:00-0:16:30
"My, his honor towards his companions is certainly admirable.", said Gentle, respecting the boy's integrity towards his friends.
"Yeah, he was able to help them escape! Truly selfless!", cheered La Brava.
"Even though he got them both involved in this little stunt in the first place?", asked Naomasa, raising an eyebrow towards the villainous duo.
"You do both understand that withholding their identities means that he'll be taking the full brunt of the charges placed upon him, right?", noted the detective, making the two shrink back into their seats.
0:16:30-0:16:55
"That's right, the medal.", said Midoriya, remembering the trinket gifted to Eggsy.
"Didn't Harry say something about how that medal could be used for a favor?", asked Kirishima.
"Yeah, he said there's a number on it to call.", said Shoji.
"And so he's using it as a get-out-of-jail-free card? Wish I had something like that.", said a slightly jealous Toga.
She knows how many times that could've been helpful to her to have on-hand before joining the League. Even if she was always a step ahead of the police, it would've helped her rest easier.
0:16:55-0:17:31
"Hmm… so his real name is Gary Unwin.", Midoriya said to himself as he wrote it down in the boy's page.
"Don't forget the passcode!", said Sero when it looked like Eggsy was about to get hung up on.
"Huh, that was quick, ribbit.", said Tsu after hearing how the phrase had seemingly worked.
"It couldn't have been that easy, could it?", asked Awase.
0:17:31-0:18:05
"I guess it was…", said Kendo as the detective entered the building after taking a certain call and Eggsy leaving the station immediately after.
"Just how powerful are these Kingsman?", wondered the Tsukauchi siblings, astounded by the organization's influence.
The rest of the audience was in a similar state of confusion as the English boy.
0:18:05-0:18:25
"It's Galahad!", exclaimed Uraraka, happy to see Eggsy finally meet his late father's friend.
"And so the two finally meet again…", noted Tokoyami of their little reunion.
"His real name is Harry Hart… okay.", said Midoriya as he updated Galahad's page to include his full name.
0:18:25-0:18:58
Hearing Galahad (now known as Harry) mention Eggsy's father was a somber thought.
"He truly was a brave man.", All Might said with a heavy heart.
Aizawa sighed.
"It's just a shame that his son had chosen to do the things he's done.", the teacher said solemnly.
0:18:58-0:19:54
Hearing Harry list off Eggsy's faults and many mistakes in his life only made the heroes and students feel more disappointed with the boy.
Midoriya soon updated Eggsy's page with having a background in both Gymnastics and training in the Marines.
"He has so much potential, and yet he's squandering it. It's truly disheartening to see someone with such promise go to waste.", Nezu said with pity towards Eggsy.
"Hopefully Galahad can turn Eggsy's life around, or at the very least, encourage him enough to help him make the choice to do so on his own.", Iida said with wishful thinking.
For one Zero Gravity student, hearing Eggsy's retort of being born less fortunate hit her hard. She wanted to become a hero to provide for her parents, but she'd never want to resort to anything like Eggsy has done if she didn't get into UA. That's why she's worked hard to be where she is now and so much more. She has those around her to thank for wanting to be able to become a selfless hero and save lives.
"Yeah, hopefully… ", she said gently, responding to her glasses-wearing classmate and friend.
The villains understood where Eggsy was coming from. As the heroes stood on ivory towers of their own, it was so easy to overlook any of the reasons on how any of them became villains in the first place. All the pros saw from them was another face to punch or kick to fill up their wallets. Like any of them need investigating into. They know that no one would ever bother. Actions speak louder than words after all.
"It's just so easy for heroes and everyone else to sweep under the rug those that don't fit the mold for your perfect little society, it just makes me sick.", growled Shigaraki.
0:19:54-0:20:04
"Great, these guys again.", groaned Mina as some familiar unfriendly faces soon entered the bar.
0:20:04-0:20:27
"I don't think negotiating with them is gonna be all that much help.", said Midnight.
"It's worth a try at least.", said Present Mic.
0:20:27-0:20:43
"Well, it was worth a shot.", said Mirio as the bullies only told Harry to leave.
"At least he's leaving, choosing to remain the bigger man of the situation.", said Amajiki as he slumped into his seat.
"But those guys are so mean… can't they just leave Eggsy alone?", asked Nejire.
"That won't really be easy when both of their parents are dating.", replied Mirio.
"Oh… right.", replied the third-year girl.
"At least he's leaving them be.", said Snipe.
0:20:43-0:20:47
Some people were confused by the off-hand comment. Those that weren't gave gasps and "ooooo's" of shock and revolt by the claim, some holding their hands up to their mouths.
"What's a rent boy?", asked Todoroki.
"I-erm, well… see it, uh…", both of his older siblings tried to explain but found themselves stumbling over their own words. How would one even begin to explain this to their baby brother after all?
None of his classmates were faring better either, with some either being just as aware of the term or having knowledge of it but being too embarrassed to explain what it was.
"Oh for the love of-he was accusing Harry of offering Eggsy money in exchange for sexual favors!!!", Dabi shouted to the half-and-half student.
The Icy-Hot student then grew a similar sense of disgust towards the thugs, much to the delight of the burning villain.
"How deplorable.", said Todoroki.
"And yet it seems like they've got Harry's attention…", noted Kurogiri, noticing Harry's patience having finally worn thin.
0:20:47-0:21:05
"Hmm… 'Manners maketh man', I quite like that phrase. Something for the students to take note of.", Nezu noted with a smile. He surmised that he would get along nicely with the Englishman should it ever be possible for the two to meet.
"It'd be easier said than done, sir.", said Aizawa as he eyed a certain explosive student of his.
Midoriya wrote down the quote on Harry/Galahad's page. Only a few focused on what Harry had said and were more focused on what he was currently doing.
"Why's he locking those locks?", asked Kaminari.
"He's making sure no one gets out or interrupts them.", said Bakugo as a wicked smile grew on his face.
"Interrupts wha-oh.", Kaminari was about to ask until he finally caught on to what was about to go down.
"And so it begins…", said Kurogiri.
0:21:05-0:21:21
The audience were certainly impressed with what Harry did next. Snipe especially, given that the man had no quirk assisting him.
"WOAH! And he was able to do that with just a glance of a mirrored surface! His accuracy is amazing!", exclaimed Midoriya as he, along with everyone else watched the main bully fall.
"Tell me about it! That was totally badass!", cheered Kaminari.
"And it looks like the badassery is just getting started.", said Kirishima, raising a tightened fist.
0:21:21-0:21:25
Once Harry turned around to face the punks, the screen froze and Present Mic read the card in front of him.
Harry Hart! Hero Name: Galahad!
Being a member of the Kingsman, this Well-Mannered Man has inherited the name from his predecessor. But don't think he's a pushover just because he's a gentleman. As a seasoned Kingsman agent, he's well trained in many forms of close-combat and marksmanship, along with being armed with the latest in gadgetry galore. But above all, he's dressed in the finest suits Kingsman has to offer. It's like they say, you've gotta dress for success!
"Oooo, GADGETRY!?! What babies does he have on him!??", Hatsume asked, hoping to see them on display. Melissa and Power Loader also had their interests piqued.
"FIGHT!!!", Bakugo yelled, answering the Englishman's question. He was secretly surprised that a quirkless guy was getting him pumped. Whatever, he's just settling for any kind of action in this quirkless movie, he thought to himself.
"Time to teach these bullies a lesson!", cheered Mina, pumping a fist in the air.
Either way, everyone was soon about to see what a Kingsman can do.
0:21:25-0:22:08
"Redirecting an enemy's attacks towards another opponent, impressive.", said Aizawa with a nod of approval.
"Eww, nasty!", squealed Pixie-Bob, sharing a goon's similar unease at the sight of a knocked-out tooth in front of their face.
As the fight waged on, it was clear that despite the number advantage the thugs had, they were seriously out of their depth when facing someone that was displaying instances of extreme skill and discipline.
And to add on top of the amazement of the heroes and students (most of the villains were not yet impressed, reasoning that they could simply overpower him with their quirks), Harry then revealed his own form of support gear to the audience in the form of his gadgets.
"DID THAT ELECTRIC CABLE ACTUALLY SHOOT OUT OF HIS UMBRELLA!? THAT'S AMAZING!", shouted Hatsume.
"It's a support item disguised as an umbrella! Incredible!", said an astonished Melissa.
"Made to be completely unassuming, not bad.", nodded Power Loader.
"While it seems excellent in capturing and subduing villains, I wonder what else it can do.", said an awestruck Momo.
0:22:08-0:22:40
The next series of events answered the Creation student's question.
"IT CAN BLOCK BULLETS TOO!?!", yelled nearly all of the audience.
"And from the look of the interior, it can show what's in front of you too, giving you an unobstructed view of your assailant! Simply ingenious!", said an amazed Iida.
"All of that from an umbrella of all things?! I could just destroy it with a tou-", Shigaraki was about to continue with how unimpressed he was with the man's skills and gear until the umbrella showed one final surprise.
"IT CAN SHOOT DIFFERENT STUFF TOO?!? SERIOUSLY, HOW'D THEY FIT SO MANY COOL THINGS INSIDE THAT FREAKING UMBRELLA?!?", Mineta yelled in complete shock from what Harry displayed with a mere twist of the handle.
"Given the name and appearance, those looked like stun rounds similar to my own. They're not meant to kill, but they can cause a lot of pain upon impact.", noted Momo.
Many of the students and even some pros applauded and cheered the agent for successfully subduing the rowdy hooligans without causing any fatal harm.
"And his watch can shoot stuff too! No witnesses!", screamed Twice as Harry utilized his watch to prevent the authorities from getting involved.
"So his watch is also a form of support gear. How advanced are the Kingsman's technology compared to ours and Megamind's?", wondered Melissa. She also noticed that both devices (and the glasses to some extent), were specifically made to function without garnering too much attention. Like they couldn't be discerned from any other commonplace umbrella or watch and were to essentially hide in plain sight.
"Was shooting the bartender really necessary?", Ectoplasm asked out loud.
"With Kingsman operating at a level of discretion that not even the world would be aware of their presence and actions, I'd suppose it's just a standard procedure they've secured.", remarked Nezu, recalling The Executive's statement about the world being unaware of either sides' actions.
0:22:40-0:23:06
"And after all of that he's able to just finish his drink like it was nothing! He's a man among men!!!", shouted Tetsutetsu in admiration.
"Damn right he is!", said Kirishima in agreement.
While both had witnessed the antithesis of manliness with Tighten in the previous movie, here the two had seen the pinnacle with Harry.
"Guess he would still be upset over losing a fellow comrade.", noted Thirteen. It was impressive how despite having recently lost a comrade, he had managed to show enough restraint to not cause any fatal harm to anyone.
0:23:06-0:23:12
"Woah-wait, what is he doing?!", asked a panicked Kaminari as Harry turned the watch on Eggsy.
"It's part of that protocol that Principal Nezu mentioned, the Kingsman operate on a level that demands they be kept secret.", said Shoji.
0:23:12-0:23:22
"Come on Harry! Make an exception with Eggsy, please?!", Uraraka pleaded with the gentleman.
"Eggsy does have a point on being capable of keeping secrets and staying quiet.", said Midoriya as the room grew quiet with whether the man would spare the delinquent or not.
0:23:22-0:23:47
Many audience members released the breath they held after the Englishman decided against darting Eggsy.
Although some keen-eyed viewers were curious on why the camera shifted to focus on Harry patting Eggsy's shoulder before leaving.
0:23:47-0:24:04
The audience was surprised to see who was currently on the news.
"What the heck are they doing on celebrity news?!", asked Mineta, still terrified (and slightly turned on) by the Fury Variant and his assistant apparently having their own movie screening.
"Since when do villains get their own movie?", said Kaminari, seemingly forgetting the prior film but just as perplexed.
"So in the world of this film, he's an internet billionaire by the name of Richmond Valentine. We could be looking at another Obadiah Stane situation.", noted Naomasa.
Midoriya quickly updated his page on the secret villain.
Richmond Valentine
Internet Billionaire
"But if he's already a billionaire, what's he kidnapping people for? Isn't that usually done for ransom or something?", asked Uraraka. None of what he was doing was adding up, given he appears to already be popular, rich and successful.
"Whatever he's plotting, it can't be for money.", said Aizawa, already getting a sense of dread from the two.
The name drop of another person also left people confused, although without the sense of urgency that Valentine gave.
"Who's Iggy Azalea?", wondered Sato.
"Pretty sure she was a songwriter and singer from the Pre-Quirk Era. Though I wonder what happened to her.", responded Jiro.
"If I had to guess from the lack of a ransom, Valentine must've gotten to her in the same way as that college professor.", said Makoto, refusing to believe this is just a coincidence.
Hawks didn't like this one bit. It felt too similar to the case he had been on prior to arriving at the theater. If this Valentine guy was anything like Re-Destro and his Detnerat front, then he was not to be trusted.
0:24:04-0:24:28
The confrontation between Eggsy and the stepdad was not any easy thing to sit through for several of the audience members. Many flinched from the way the boy was treated and hated having the inability to do anything about it.
One group of siblings in particular despised the sight more than anyone could imagine, because they not only witnessed it for themselves but also lived it.
Midoriya looked over towards his classmate with concern, knowing what he confessed to him and how this might bring up some bad memories.
"That bastard…", Todoroki said coldly, his fists and teeth both clenched. His older siblings were having similar unpleasant memories resurface from their home life, taking a glance at their baby brother.
"I swear he better get his ass kicked by the end of this movie…", Dabi growled with an intensity that did not go unnoticed by his fellow league members.
Shigaraki responded to the scarred villain, "Kicked? I think you mean killed."
He didn't know why, but seeing something like this made his blood boil more than any hero could. It gave him a sickening sense of familiarity that he wanted gone.
Luckily what was shown on Eggsy's shoulder took the focus off the abuse.
"Wait… is that…?", asked Melissa, adjusting her glasses to get a better look at the device.
0:24:28-0:25:12
"It's Harry!", exclaimed Midoriya, amazed that he'd been listening AND recording the events before them.
"HE LEFT THAT TINY BABY ON HIS SHOULDER SO HE COULD SPY ON HIM!?! THAT'S INCREDIBLE! A TRACKING DEVICE AND MICROPHONE RECORDING DEVICE ALL IN ONE!!!!", yelled an excited Hatsume, who had immediately forgotten all about the earlier witnessed abuse.
"Kingsman must be extremely advanced to have surveillance tech like that!", said an astounded Melissa.
The Todoroki siblings gave a sigh of relief that Harry had intervened when he did, especially when Dean got ahold of a cleaver.
Shigaraki and Dabi took some small amount of pleasure of the stepdad being confused as hell when Harry singled him out.
As for a certain Icyhot student, he was speechless.
Todoroki had never felt more glad to hear a voice before in all his life. The gentleman had been watching over the boy who had kept his anonymity, fulfilling his promise and responding by acting as a guardian angel of sorts. The half-and-half student felt like he had never been more filled with hope from anyone more than he had for Harry Hart at that moment.
He was stunned silent from how the tables had turned, what was once a reliving of a nightmare had now become something that he'd only dreamed of.
Someone that he personally could call a hero. His hero.
"Thank you… Galahad.", said Todoroki, finding his recent rage subsiding and replaced with admiration towards the gentleman.
0:25:12-0:25:17
Right as Eggsy had left to meet Harry, he was met with some unwanted company on multiple sides.
"Ugh-not these guys again.", groaned Ojiro.
0:25:17-0:25:37
Many of the students and teachers were amazed of Eggsy's balance and flexibility on full display.
"Oh man, that was so badass! It's like stairs are just a suggestion to him!", said Kirishima.
"His old coach did say he could've been an Olympic Gymnast.", remarked Midoriya, remembering the boy's skills that had been listed off by Harry earlier in the pub.
"Guess those gymnastics skills never got rusty if this is how he's been putting them to use.", noted Midnight.
"He's gotta have crazy good equilibrium to pull off all that!", said Uraraka, who had been training her own just to better handle her quirk's overuse.
0:25:37-0:25:50
"There it is, Kingsman.", said All Might, wishfully thinking that a brighter future for the boy would be waiting inside the unassuming tailor shop.
0:25:50-0:26:08
"At this point, even I would know this guy's not just some ordinary tailor!!!", said Kaminari, asking himself what kind of tailor would be able to kick ass the way Harry did.
Meanwhile, Twice asked himself if he would've been a tailor that would've kicked ass the way Harry did.
He replied to himself no, no he would not, not even close.
0:26:08-0:26:26
Midoriya got his notebook ready, getting the feeling that Harry was about to go in depth on what Kingsman truly was to Eggsy.
0:26:26-0:26:31
"That's what we all want to know!", shouted Bakugo, wanting to know more about Kingsman just as much as Deku without any of the reserve that that nerd has.
0:26:31-0:27:33
Hearing what Harry sees in the boy before him, the heroes and students couldn't agree more with the Englishman. The students especially felt like Harry was addressing them when speaking of potential and the capability to transform.
"I'm glad that Harry recognizes his potential, but he has a long way to go if he's going to be training him.", Aizawa stated.
All Might was about to respond to his colleague before remembering that it took Midoriya roughly NINE MONTHS before he was ready to even be given One For All, let alone properly use it. His pupil was still learning things now, including some dormant additional quirks from the previous wielders.
The audience couldn't recall most of the movies that Harry listed and the one Eggsy added on. Fortunately Daryl stepped in to explain.
"Basically each of those films has a theme that's essential to the values of the Kingsman. Themes of teamwork, secrecy, appreciation of the true value of a person and learning to be a decent human being."
"Sounds stupid.", said the hand covered villain, much to the surprise of no one.
The students and teachers got really invested when they heard Harry's offer to Eggsy, along with Eggsy's answer.
"So Eggsy's gonna become a hero?", gasped Hagakure.
"He specifically said spy, which is more akin to both Romanoff and Barton. I suppose that in a sense similar to them, then yes he does appear to be beginning to walk down the path of being a hero.", said Iida, scratching his chin and silently praying that he won't remain too brash like Bakugo for long.
0:27:33-0:28:28
"THAT ROOM IS A SECRET ELEVATOR!?!?!", yelled nearly all of the students(and some of UA's staff) at the room as it slowly lowered like a room in haunted-house theme park attraction.
After that, Harry began going in depth about the origins of Kingsman, much to Midoriya's delights as the green-haired boy began scribbling down word after word.
"So they began as actual tailors clothing powerful aristocrats all the way back in the mid-1800s. They've existed for a very long time.", noted Naomasa.
"Yeah, sounds like they go way back. They also amassed quite the fortune over the years to do what they're doing now.", said Makoto.
"When their heirs died in World War 1, these founders chose to use that amassed wealth and connections to powerful figures for the greater good instead of being in content with it. They were truly some noble men.", said Nezu, approving such selfless actions.
Aizawa and All Might, along with the other teachers and students, felt sorrow for the lives lost in World War 1 and the war that followed. They all hoped that they would never experience such a travesty that war can bring in their lifetime, the teachers hoping more for the students' sake.
"And they're staying secret so they won't compromise their moral integrity.", said All Might, knowing how many compromises he had to make during his hero career with such laws, governments, and politics.
"Hmm, does that mean there could be a Kingsman in our world that no one knows about?", asked Tsu. If they were this discreet, then they could've been under everyone's noses all along, including the Hero Public Safety Commission.
Everyone turned to The Executive, who after a moment of silence merely said, "I can neither confirm nor deny these allegations."
"What does that mean?", asked Kaminari, her head slightly tilted in confusion.
"It means he's probably not allowed to say.", stated Aizawa.
"What? Oh come on-pleeeeeease?", asked an overeager Mina, who wanted to be able to know if she could meet one of these cool Kingsman guys for real. She was only met with silence, much to her sighing with disappointment.
"Well, at least they've got quite the taste for fashion.", noted Monoma, approving their apparel and agreeing with Harry's statement of suits being the modern-day armor. Unbeknownst to him, a certain top hat wearing villain shared the same sentiment towards their attire.
The rest of the villains overall didn't like the idea of someone operating on a higher and more secretive position than the heroes. The pros were bad enough already but to have to content with this?! They practically prayed that Kingsman or anything like them didn't exist in their world.
0:28:28-0:28:32
"Yeah, that thing's getting really low.", said Present Mic, who was beginning to get slightly unsettled from the sight of the elevator.
0:28:32-0:29:14
As the elevator came to a stop, the audience grew more curious towards the vehicle before them.
"It seems like one of those old-fashioned vacuum tubes meant to transport mail.", noted Momo.
After a long range shot across many miles, the audience's sights landed on a prestigious manor.
"Whoa! That must be their headquarters!", said an amazed Midoriya.
"It looks almost as impressive as your's, Yaomomo.", said Uraraka to the creation student, who could only look away bashfully from the comment.
0:29:14-0:29:22
"Punctuality is everything, Harry! As a spy and hero, this should be common knowledge for you!", said Iida in a slightly irate tone.
0:29:22-0:29:52
That slight annoyance soon faded from the spectacled youth as he and everyone else took in the sight before them.
"Th-th-they have so… many… vehicles. Cars and planes and stuff.", Uraraka said shakily, appearing like her brain was short-circuiting from the sight before her without the need of Kaminari's quirk. Just HOW MUCH are these Kingsman guys stashing away in their vaults?!?
"They make the collection my family has at home look like child's play!", Momo said incredulously.
"They certainly are prepared for any sort of scenario if they have all these modes of transport.", noted Nezu, understanding the need for such a wide variety.
Upon hearing how Eggsy's father was in the same position as him once, Iida beamed with pride. Just like how his own family came from a long line of noble heroes, he hoped Eggsy would be able to do the same. Even if it meant stepping out of his delinquent ways and rising up to the role.
0:29:52-0:30:10
"Who are all those guys?", asked Kirishima when Eggsy stepped into a room after meeting Merlin. Said room was not empty.
"The competition…", Bakugo said with a sneer.
Just like with UA and the provisional license exam, just because you're able to get in doesn't mean you'll automatically become a hero. Not yet at least.
0:30:10-0:30:28
Many heads from the audience perked up when they heard how Merlin described this "job interview". The students and UA staff knew personally how insane just getting into UA was with the entrance exam.
"How dangerous is he talking here?", asked Kirishima.
"Can't be any worse than almost ending up flattened by a giant robot…", said Jiro, who still remembered when the Zero-pointers arrived during the practical exam.
Nearly all of the students couldn't forget them, especially Midoriya and Uraraka. Neither were left in a good state from them, barely able to survive.
"I mean, this is a quirkless world so it can't be that bad… right, ribbit?", Tsu wondered, slightly nervous.
0:30:28-0:31:10
The earlier unease seemed to quadruple when Merlin brought out, passed around and explained a certain item. A good amount of the students was left shaking from the implications.
"I-I-I kn-know they're supposed to be a secret agency, but isn't that a bit extreme!?", questioned a still-shaking Midoriya. Even UA didn't go so far for the sake of secrecy.
"To not only threaten your own life, but the life of your next of kin for confidentiality as an incentive? I can understand the reasoning behind it, though fortunately UA is public knowledge. We'd have no need for it.", stated Aizawa.
"Even if it would be effective.", the eraser hero added.
"DOES THAT MEAN HE'D CONSIDER IT IF IT WASN'T?!?!", most if not all of the students screamed internally.
"Don't worry, students. I'm positive it's merely a scare tactic in order to motivate the candidates to do their best.", said All Might, trying to reassure everyone.
0:31:10-0:32:00
"She seems nice, unlike those other guys.", said Sero.
Midoriya meanwhile wrote down the names of some of the other candidates.
Roxy
Charlie
Digby
Rufus
"I'm guessing these guys have got those silver spoons that Eggsy was talking about.", said Toga, already despising these guys and their smugness. She would love to meet them in a back alley and see how long smiles lasted once she drew their blood.
After they began asking Eggsy about several locations that he could've come from, many wondered what those were.
Until someone asked if he worked at a fast-food chain and had served him, gaining the ire of a certain gravity student.
"I can't believe I'm agreeing with her but these guys are jerks.", said Uraraka.
There were a few chuckles from the less mature of the audience when Eggsy responded with a rude comment and gesture to match. The more mature only sighed and shook their head.
"Hopefully Kingsman will be able to straighten that out of him.", said Iida.
0:32:00-0:32:21
Midoriya jotted down another candidate after being introduced to Eggsy and Roxy.
Amelia
"Even Roxy is positive that those bags are merely to motivate the candidates.", All Might said, agreeing with Roxy.
"So it's just like when Aizawa threatened to expel one of us back on the first day of class? That's a relief.", sighed Momo.
"I only did that to see the full extent of your quirks. It's fair to say that you've all come a long way since then. If you were to repeat those tests, your results would most likely surpass those previous records.", Aizawa stated.
After reassured by Roxy, some villains couldn't help but agree with Eggsy.
"It is a shame.", said Toga, already imagining one of those guys being zipped up in one of those bags.
"Real shame.", said Shigaraki, already wanting to see a corpse or two.
0:32:21-0:32:35
Fortunately for the decaying villain and those that had similar desires for death, the scene cut to a picture of the former Lancelot. Which was unfortunate for the heroes, students, and all those that didn't want to be reminded of his life cut short.
"AAAUGH!!! THEY KEPT THE BODY!?! WHY?!?!?", cried Midnight.
"Th-th-they probably needed to identify the agent.", said a still-startled Present Mic, unnerved by the sight.
"Heh, not a bad patch job. But I've seen worse.", said Dabi, recounting his own scars.
"At least with his Kingsman status no one can identify him, hence the need for such levels of confidentiality.", said Hawks.
"Who could Valentine be asking to find out about Lancelot?", asked Midoriya.
"An informant perhaps? If he's really a billionaire then having people in those departments shouldn't be an issue. He has the resources.", Momo speculated.
0:32:35-0:32:59
As the villainous variant began to explain his background, it drew a lot of attention and speculation to the audience.
"Climate change? He's talking about the weather, right?", asked Sato.
"Yeah but why's he making it out like it's the end of the world? The weather's supposed to change, like rain and snow and the different seasons and stuff.", said Hagakure, who personally had a soft spot for Spring when so many flowers would be in bloom.
"Actually I think he's talking about Global Warming.", said Melissa.
"That's right.", Momo agreed.
"Global Warming was a speculated phenomenon during the pre-quirk era around the beginning of the 21st century. It was theorized that the carbon emissions from most machines at the time were slowly degrading the ozone layer of the planet, causing our atmosphere to retain more heat and the polar icecaps at the ends of our world to melt. That would inevitably cause mass flooding from rising sea levels.", the Creation student explained.
The atmosphere of the audience itself had suddenly grown heavier, noting of such a disastrous outcome.
"Ok, but we're still here. So what happened?", asked Ojiro.
"Isn't it obvious? Quirks happened.", said Aizawa as the teacher continued.
"After the initial chaos from the emergence of quirks, all technological advancements ceased to focus on reestablishing a form of order and society."
Thirteen then elaborated, "Eventually, the right individuals with the right quirks were able to absolve the planet from that situation, repairing the ozone layer and keeping the icecaps intact."
Nezu finally concluded, "We were fortunate to have been able to solve the issue through the use of quirks. To this day, this has yet to prove to be an actual issue that rarely needs to be addressed, given that most carbon emissions have remained low through both said specific quirks and all industrial activity being focused mostly on the study of quirks, the creation of support gear, and maintaining hero society in general."
While many of the students and other members of the audience were able to gain a somewhat fair grasp of the subject so far, the slower members were left slightly reeling from trying to compute all the info.
"Ughhh… anyone else have a headache from all that?", asked Kaminari.
"I do too…", groaned Mina.
"Three…", piped Tsunitori.
Daryl could only sit back in his seat. "If only they knew they basically traded one problem for another.", he thought to himself, shaking his head in pity.
0:32:35-0:33:33
"It's just like I said, he's not doing this for money.", noted Aizawa as Valentine confirmed his earlier statement.
"We still don't know what he's planning exactly.", said Iida, already wary of this villain's scheme. It felt too similar to the Humarise situation that took him and his classmates around the world some time ago.
"Whatever he's planning, even if it's to save the world like he says, it can't be worth killing and kidnapping people to do it.", said Mirio, the words of The Executive still echoing in his ear.
"Hopefully the Kingsman will be able to learn and stop his scheme before it comes to pass. Whatever it may be.", said All Might.
As the camera began to zoom out of the conversation, Midoriya was slightly disappointed of not learning his "epiphany" right away.
However, some audience members had caught note of the voice and appearance of who Valentine had been speaking to.
"Wait… don't tell me that was…", Momo gasped, her face growing pale from what she had recalled from some archival footage from studying the pre-quirk era.
0:33:33-0:33:42
The audience was stunned silent once the camera zoomed out and the location was revealed.
"Oh no…", All Might said, knowing the building all too well from early on in his career.
Many villains were actually impressed with where Valentine was. The Symbol of Fear specifically, given how he's always had to remain in the shadows for many decades.
"H-h-he was speaking with… the President of the United States.", said a still shaking Melissa.
"A villain being in proximity of a powerful political figure, one would be concerned he'd try to assassinate him. But what if he managed to convince him? What would you heroes be able to do then?", All For One asked, enjoying this turn of events.
"He'd… he'd never go through with whatever Valentine's planning! Right?!", asked Midoriya sternly. Only the One-For-All user got no response from the heroes and students around him who were still in some state of shock.
"Right?", he asked again, knowing that if Valentine could use his influence to keep his plans a secret with help from powerful politicians like presidents and prime ministers, there would be no pro heroes that would be aware of his plan in their world. Let alone even be capable of stopping him.
0:33:42-0:34:04
As the scene switched back to Eggsy and the other candidates, a sense of calm returned to the jilted heroes and students.
"At least Eggsy and the others are still okay.", said Jiro with a sigh of relief.
"For now, keep in mind that this is supposedly the most dangerous job interview.", Tokoyami reminded his classmate.
"Come on man, how bad could this get?", asked Sero.
0:34:04-0:34:28
His question was immediately answered.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?", nearly all of the students screamed out.
"It appears the first test has begun: a trial by fire. Or in this case, water.", said the bird-headed student, eyeing his fellow tape-elbowed classmate that just had to open his big mouth.
"At least Aizawa wouldn't be crazy enough to put this in our dorm rooms.", Kaminari said shakily.
"SHUT UP MAN!!! DON'T GIVE HIM ANY IDEAS!!!!", yelled Mineta.
The two then took a cautious glance at their homeroom teacher, wishing to know what he was thinking and praying to god that he wouldn't have anything like this commissioned to be installed in the dorms.

"Loo Snorkels? Showerheads? What the heck are they talking about?!?", asked Kirishima.
"Well, 'loo' is what they call toilets and bathrooms there so…", said Momo. Her eyes immediately lit up.
"Of course! So that's what they're doing!", she announced.
"I'm afraid I still don't follow.", Iida said regretfully.
"They're going for the air supply within the toilets! How resourceful of them!", said Ectoplasm, praising the youths for already showing their quick thinking.
"With the tubing from the showers by unscrewing the shower-heads, they could access an unlimited air supply by using the tubing to reach the air in its tank!", Melissa elaborated.
"They're going for toilet air? Gross!", said Hagakure, making a slightly sour unseen face.
"Hey, in this case, toilet air is better than no air.", Mina said, to which the invisible girl couldn't deny.
0:34:40-0:34:54
"Yeah, why not go for the door? It's right there.", asked Shishida.
"I don't think that would work. The weight and pressure from all of that water will be pinning that door shut by now. Plus it could be sealed tight since this is supposed to be a test.", Nirengeki said to his furry classmate.
0:34:54-0:35:35
Both 1B classmates and the previous inquiries were proven correct by Eggsy and the candidates. However, many of the students and even some concerned teachers began to wonder how exactly this test is supposed to end.
Until they noticed where Eggsy was heading next.
0:35:35-0:35:55
"Guess he was right on recognizing a two-way mirror.", noted Naomasa.
"Proves that you should always be aware of your surroundings and your environment when out in the field as heroes. Any advantage the field can give you can mean the difference between life and death.", Aizawa told to all of the students.
"Now might be a good time to move, Merlin.", said Compress.
0:35:55-0:36:26
The heroes and students breathed a sigh of relief once Eggsy managed to successfully free everyone.
"Oh thank god that's over. Even though we've got plenty of dangerous tests at UA, isn't attempting to drown people a bit too much!?", said a still-shaking Uraraka.
"It's just some water! Even if I wasn't allowed to use my quirk, I'd just do what Eggsy did and punch the mirror too!", said an unimpressed Bakugo.
"Does that mean you wouldn't know about the toilet snorkels either?", asked Todoroki.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean, IcyHot!?!", the explosive boy yelled back.
0:36:26-0:36:49
Merlin immediately redirected Bakugo's rage away from Todoroki and towards him after what he said next.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY FAILED!?! THEY MADE IT OUT ALIVE YOU BALD BASTARD!!!!", he barked at the man.
Midoriya then gasped as he did a head count.
"Not all of them, Kacchan…", he said aghast.
Others were slowly catching on as they noticed where Merlin was pointing.
0:36:49-0:36:53
The room grew silent as they all witnessed who remained motionless in the room. If there were any question on how entry to Kingsman faired in comparison to UA, there wasn't anymore.
"A-A-Amelia…", Midoriya said weakly as he sadly updated his notebook with a horrified expression.
Amelia
Drowned in the first test for Kingsman
Many of the students and teachers soon couldn't help but ask where exactly Kingsman's morality lied if they were willing to allow something like this to happen.
"Well, it's not one of those three assholes but close enough.", Shigaraki said with a smirk, gaining some burning stares from some of the nearby heroes and students.
0:36:53-0:36:57
"Yeah, you could say that again…", said a pale Present Mic as he recalled the earlier "scare tactic", that Merlin noted.
The Kingsman's earlier claim of this being "the most dangerous job interview" had proven to not be just Merlin being melodramatic. Everyone came to agree: when it came to becoming a Kingsman compared to becoming a pro-hero, Kingsman held dangerously high standards.
Now that everyone knew what was at stake during these next following tests, the heroes and students prayed that Eggsy would be able to pass the oncoming trials in order to aid Kingsman in stopping Valentine's sinister agenda…
…that is if he can manage to survive.
The villains couldn't care less about the boy. Kingsman had proven to be more harsh and hardcore than any pathetic hero school in their world.
All they knew was that they were in for a show, and they couldn't wait to see what will come next.
Author's note:
Hey everyone, sorry for the huge lack of an update.
Nearly a month ago, I had come across what I thought would be a good business opportunity that would earn me extra income. However, participating in it alongside my regular job grew to be very taxing on my time and energy.
After meeting up with an old coworker and friend of mine, they had let me know that the business wasn't worth going forward in; basically being a scam.
So I was able to sever ties with the company before they could start charging me for their "programs". I just didn't enjoy doing whatever they asked of me and it was taking too long before I was able to get any real income out of it aside from a job I'm already getting paid for for going on full shifts.
But with that out of the way, I'm hoping to have more time and energy to spend working on this. It might not be earning me money, but it's giving me a sense of accomplishment and purpose that I haven't felt in years. That's what took this chapter so long to get done. I've also added some tweaks to the past 3 chapters too, just to clean things up.
Anyway, thank you again to those that are sticking through this and any struggles any of you are dealing with. Meeting up with friends can be really helpful so don't be afraid to let others know of what you're going through.
People can really surprise you.
