Toshinori's Choice

Chapter five: Things showing signs of getting heated

Toshinori felt a mix of emotions when Izuku and Shinso's team in the heroes versus villains exercise won, because they were one of the villain teams. Although happy the team his step-son was on had won, it was a villain team, which the Symbol of Peace felt was the alternate timeline haunting him. Toshinori also took note of how Shinso looked a bit unsure of himself after he and Izuku won. It seemed like something was troubling the young brainwasher, and as such Toshinori was planning to look into the matter and make sure Shinso will be alright.

Something else occurred in this current timeline that occurred in the alternate timeline; Bakugo, who was on one of the hero teams, had won his match. He and Todoroki defeated the villain team of Yaoyorozu and Uraraka, although there was some bickering from Bakugo as Todoroki essentially froze the whole building the exercise took place in which made the win easy for him and Bakugo. Bakugo complained that he didn't get to do anything, and Toshinori saw some of Bakugo's rough hints. But they were subdued here, he was basically just complaining about not getting to do anything.

The rest of the matches came and went, and Toshinori was honestly a little worried to see it that the Bakugo-Todoroki hero team was the ONLY hero team that won today; the Asui-Tokoyami villain team beat the Jiro-Ashido hero team, the Kirishima-Iida villain team beat the Aoyama-Koda hero team (on technicality; Aoyama fired a laser from his belly button that struck the bomb although he tried to hit Kirishima), and the Sato-Shoji team beat the Ojiro-Hagakure hero team. It honestly worried Toshinori that it wasn't just Izuku with villainous potential.

Toshinori as he praised the class for the good work they did took time to ask Shinso why he looked concerned, and as it turned out Shinso didn't like it that he was randomized onto a villain team, as it reminded him of how he was taunted in his past for having a 'villainous' quirk. This concerned Toshinori, especially as such actions should have been prevented by the campaign he started up to prevent bullying and discrimination. Toshinori apologized to Shinso for having unintentionally made him feel like he had been pigeonholed into a role due to his quirk.

"I think that Shinso ought to see Hound Dog to go over these issues," Aizawa said, "It's obvious that what happened struck a nerve for him, and far be it from me to let any of my students not feel comfortable or safe enough to learn." Toshinori nodded in approval of the underground hero wanting to tackle issues to keep his students from feeling unsafe or uncomfortable in class; it's part of why he made the harsh move to expel Mineta, because Mineta's presence and his lewd, perverted ways were making the girls feel uncomfortable in class.

Toshinori had a vague feeling that Aizawa was also using the All Might campaign of zero tolerance towards bullying and discrimination as an excuse to kick Mineta out because he wanted to make room in Class 1-A for Shinso, but he ignored that vague feeling. The main point was that Aizawa, although firm and stern, was also a fair man who wanted what was best for his students, didn't want them to feel unsafe or uncomfortable in class. Aizawa had, while explaining Mineta's expulsion from UA to Class 1-A, even bowed his head in apology as he apologized to the girls for letting them go through Mineta's treatment towards them.

Later on in the staff lounge after classes were done for the day, Aizawa after he explained what all had happened in class got a thumbs up from Hizashi for how he was tackling the issues Shinso apparently has. Sekijiro also nodded in approval, saying that Aizawa was proving to be a firm and stern but fair and caring man, and that Ryo will be able to help Shinso work through his issues. Toshinori, who sat with the other UA staff members, nodded in agreement, glad to see that the underground hero was being a good teacher and a good man.

Nemuri, however, got a bit annoyed when Aizawa went over which students won and which ones lost in the heroes versus villains exercise; when Toshinori asked why Nemuri was so annoyed with the results, she explained it's because only one girl in the entire class had won her match while the other five all lost theirs. "Nemuri, it was just luck of the draw," Aizawa said as he rolled his eyes, "All students have to be given a fair deal, hence why things were as randomized as possible. Things today were due to pure, random chance."

What the underground hero said reminded Toshinori that he couldn't exactly afford to take chances here in the current timeline. Not if he wanted to avoid the bad future from the alternate timeline as much as possible. As such, he resolved to focus on making sure as much as possible that his step-son was able to continue on with being on the path to become a pro hero; if Izuku in the alternate timeline becoming a villain led to villainy winning, then Izuku in the current timeline becoming a pro hero will lead to heroism winning.

It just made sense.

The following day, Toshinori heard that the press tried getting into UA to interview people, mostly students, about All Might getting a job there as a teacher. Luckily, the teachers were able to keep the press from harassing the students, and even erected the U.A. Barrier, a high-tech security system, to shut the press out in order to grant a measure of peace to the students. The Symbol of Peace had, once again, forgotten that he was rather popular, mostly because he was more focused on things aside from popularity among the people.

Things such as doing good as a pro hero, and being a good step-dad who wanted to raise his step-son right.

Toshinori also heard from Aizawa that he had an election in class to determine the class president and class vice-president and, after the voting, Izuku was voted as class president while Yaoyorozu was voted class vice-president. Toshinori was amused to hear that Izuku was trusted by his peers to the point enough of them voted for him to be class president of Class 1-A. Aizawa cited how Shinso confided in him that he felt Izuku was the best choice given how he sees the best in people and is willing to give them a chance to prove themselves.

Nodding in understanding, Toshinori told Aizawa about the moment he and Izuku met Shinso on the first day of school, and Izuku after learning what Shinso's quirk was listed off a number of ways it could be used in the field of pro heroics, not once ever thinking Shinso was a villain in the making. The underground hero seemed a little bit surprised, but then he relaxed. "...Yeah, Midoriya really is cut from the same cloth as you," Aizawa said, "I can see why so many of his classmates trust him as much as they do. He even got a standing ovation when he won the class president election."

"Ah ha ha, so he's so inspiring others applaud him!" Toshinori said, laughing in sincere, good natured amusement.

Aizawa nodded once in confirmation. "Yeah, Shinso as well as both Uraraka and Iida were among those who stood up and clapped when Izuku was voted as class president. I can't remember the others, although I did scold Bakugo when he said he was glad Yaoyorozu didn't win and become class president." Concerned, Toshinori asked Aizawa why Bakugo expressed being amused that Yaoyorozu wasn't voted class president, and as it turned out Bakugo cited how Yaoyorozu, or 'Ponytail' as he called her, had honestly come off as kind of a bitch with her overly detailed and somewhat critical assessments of everyone during the heroes versus villains exercise.

Toshinori did recall that Yaoyorozu was, in all honesty, a bit firm and harsh with her critiques, going a tad more far with what she felt was wrong than what Toshinori himself had or would have said. But the Symbol of Peace would NEVER straight up call Yaoyorozu a bitch over it; he'd never insult a student like that period. What also concerned Toshinori was that Aizawa had also confirmed that a few of the other Class 1-A students actually agreed with Bakugo calling Yaoyorozu a bitch for her overly critical critiques from the heroes versus villains exercise. Toshinori was relieved to hear that Izuku wasn't one of the students acting iffy towards Yaoyorozu.

But that's getting off subject. The next part that Toshinori heard was that apparently, the press somehow was able to breech the U.A. Barrier anyway and swarm in as they attempted to get a scoop with him. Toshinori remembered this from the previous timeline, and just like it was there, here in the current timeline Toshinori was not even on UA grounds at the time. There was, however, one key difference between the current timeline and the alternate timeline; unlike in the alternate timeline, the Symbol of Peace actually never got it how exactly the press was able to get in.

This time, Toshinori WAS able to get answers as he asked Aizawa about it after hearing that the press siege occurred here. Aizawa, with Hizashi and Nemuri following along behind, showed Toshinori to a large hole in the wall around UA, a hole that ate through even a portion of the U.A. Barrier. "We're guessing that this was the work of a villain," Hizashi said, "Because if it was just a member of the press who did this, they'd try to keep it so that only they could get in, so as to make their exclusive with you they'd hope for even more of an exclusive. The news media are not ones who typically like to share the goods, if you catch my drift."

"When the alarms went off," Aizawa began, "It sent the students into a panic. Luckily they were all able to file out safely, and I got it from Midoriya that Iida had played a major role in leading everyone out in a swift, orderly manner. It'd probably also explain part of why Midoriya wanted to yield his position of class president to Iida."

Toshinori arched a wry eyebrow. "Izuku yield the class president position he won to Young Iida?"

Aizawa nodded once in the affirmative. "Yeah, I'm guessing another big part of why Midoriya did so is because he personally didn't feel comfortable in the position. In fact, he told me he actually voted for Iida to be class president during the initial election." Toshinori was a bit surprised to hear it that Izuku stepped down as class president and had Iida put in place there. Toshinori recalled from the alternate timeline that Iida was eventually made Class 1-A class president, but mainly due to how the one who initially won had been killed in the USJ attack there.

Speaking of, Toshinori recalled that the press siege was a notable event that foreshadowed the USJ attack in the alternate timeline. That being said, Toshinori was already planning to take several precautions to ensure that things here don't see a single innocent death. Toshinori then turned to Aizawa and asked, "Are the students in your class alright, Aizawa? Do you also know how Sekijiro's students are doing?"

"All of the students are fine," Nemuri said, "Some are still a little surprised by what had happened earlier when the press tried to essentially besiege UA, but all of them are going to be okay." The Symbol of Peace let out a relieved sigh, happy to hear it that the children are all fine.

"Oh, and the Iida boy is really knowing how to lead the little listeners in Sho's class and have them be model students," Hizashi said, "One of the first things he did was have the kids who had said Yaoyorozu was being a bitch apologize to her."

"Ah, so he's trying to make them behave themselves," Toshinori said, "How did it go?"

"Not... as well as he had hoped," Aizawa said, "Granted, I agree with Iida that the students who said Yaoyorozu was being bitchy ought to apologize to her for it, but they weren't exactly receptive to the idea, especially as some of them had notable reasons for it." Toshinori then learned that, although some of Class 1-A thought that Yaoyorozu was being a bitch slash came off as one due to her overly critical critiques from the heroes versus villains exercise, that on its own wasn't the entire reason why the complaining students weren't so receptive to Yaoyorozu.

There was Uraraka complaining that Yaoyorozu had essentially blamed her for their loss to Bakugo and Todoroki (completely ignoring the fact that Todoroki had flash-froze everything), and also Shinso who felt Yaoyorozu had stereotyped him (Yaoyorozu said that Shinso's quirk made him a good fit for the villain role he played). Aizawa, in a bid to be fair, ordered everyone who had said Yaoyorozu was being a bitch apologize to her, but then immediately after that had Yaoyorozu apologize to everyone that Aizawa felt was owed the courtesy, such as Uraraka and Shinso. Bakugo did not get an apology as he was generally 'being a butt'.

Iida, as class president, actually agreed that Yaoyorozu also owed some apologies and encouraged the wealthy girl to apologize to those Aizawa felt were owed it. All of the appropriate feathers were smoothed over, and things were able to resume. Toshinori realized that there were issues needing to be worked out here if the students were to work together, especially as there was a chance certain events may happen that will require the hero course students of Class 1-A to work as a team and show that they all can be the heroes the Symbol of Peace feels that they can become.

That night during dinner at the Midoriya-Yagi residence, Izuku regaled Toshinori and Inko with the story of what all had happened at school when the alarm went off. Izuku said that he was impressed with how far Iida had went out there, had put himself on the line, to help the rest of the students calm down and safely file out. Izuku felt that he made the right choice in stepping down as class president and putting Iida in his place, especially since Iida had helped to make Yaoyorozu apologize for her less than palatable attitude.

Toshinori had a look of surprise on his face. "You're one of the students who thought Young Yaoyorozu was, and I quote, 'being a bitch'?"

"I didn't use language that strong, but Yaoyorozu did show a lack of tact in my opinion," Izuku said, "Especially after Ochaco pointed it out to me." After chewing and swallowing a mouthful of food, Izuku said, "Also, I bet that Yaoyorozu was unfairly critical towards Ochaco due to jealousy."

A hint of piqued interest entered Toshinori's eyes. "Jealousy? What makes you think Yaoyorozu is jealous of Uraraka?" Izuku went on to explain what he meant, and Toshinori learned, to his surprise, that Izuku here had developed romantic feelings for Uraraka, based on Izuku saying that Yaoyorozu must be jealous due to Uraraka being cuter than her. In the alternate timeline that Toshinori remembered, Izuku who was a villain there got into a romantic relationship with the villainess Toga, who was ranked just below Spinner in the hierarchy Dabi had set up.

It had disturbed Toshinori in the alternate timeline to see Izuku hook up with a villainess like Toga, made Toshinori wish Izuku had hooked up with a far nicer girl instead. But by the point Toshinori learned Izuku was with Toga romantically, all of the girls in UA's Class 1-A had been killed. Izuku never got to know any of those girls, or any of the Class 1-A students period outside of Bakugo, and that was due to growing up being familiar with Bakugo. But said familiarity there wasn't of a goodly nature, and it was another story for another time.

But here, in the current timeline, Toshinori's step-son instead developed romantic feelings for Uraraka. A good-natured, kindly girl who was hoping to one day become a pro hero. The Symbol of Peace already felt that Uraraka would be leagues better for Izuku than any villainess could ever hope to be. This was yet another change from the alternate timeline that Toshinori wholly approved of. Granted, Toshinori had no idea of UA's policy on students dating one another, he'll have to ask Nezu if he's okay with students dating each other, but Toshinori was more than ready to give Izuku a thumbs-up to proceed with trying to woo Uraraka.

Toshinori felt once more that the future in this current timeline was looking to be bright and hopeful. And with knowledge from the alternate timeline, Toshinori was going to make moves to ensure that the bad future doesn't occur again. It would be especially bad as Toshinori wants his step-son to try to pursue a romantic relationship with the good girl he had fallen for. Izuku deserved to have a good life.

The rest of the first week at UA came and went without further incident, and on the first day of the next school week, Aizawa had Class 1-A get into a bus that he drove to the USJ. Izuku sat down in one of the seats, a seat near a side door on the bus. "Umm, excuse me, Izuku," Uraraka said after she made her way over to where he was sitting, "But would you mind it if I took the seat next to you?"

"Oh, not at all," Izuku replied as he gestured to the seat next to him, as he sat on a seat at the far end of that section of bus seating. Uraraka thanked Izuku for the courtesy before sitting down next to him. Although she said she wanted the seat next to Izuku, due to the considerable size she had going, Uraraka ended up taking up more than one seat. Some of the other students were already seated in the bus, but a few more filed in, and when everyone was seated, the bus got going for the USJ facility so that Class 1-A could have their training exercise.

Seated in front of Izuku and Uraraka on the bench in front of them were Iida, Tsuyu, and Shinso, and it was Tsuyu who started up the conversation. "Oh, Uraraka," Tsuyu began, "I took the picture that you and the other girls requested kero."

"Picture that Uraraka and the other girls requested?" Iida asked, right before Tsuyu took out her phone and pulled up a picture on it. To the piqued interest of the boys sitting with Tsuyu and Uraraka, the photo showed a pair of kids, one a boy with black hair that has bangs covering one of his eyes, and the other a girl in a long green long-sleeved dress, and she wore her hair in twin low pigtails. "Are you familiar with these kids, Asui?" Iida asked.

"They're my little siblings," Tsuyu explained, "My little sister is named Satsuki, and my little brother is named Samidare." As Tsuyu handed the phone to Uraraka so she could see the photo, Tsuyu said, "Uraraka, as well as Ashido, Hakagure, Jiro, and Yaoyorozu, all asked me to take a picture of my little siblings together and show them because I mentioned that I had little siblings and the girls wanted to see what they looked like."

"Aww, they're both adorable," Uraraka gushed, "I bet the other girls will love seeing this as well, Asui!"

"Please, call me Tsuyu," replied the frog girl, "I feel we're good enough friends that I don't mind you referring to me by my first name kero." After she got her phone back from Uraraka, Tsuyu said, "Anyway Midoriya, there's something that's been on my mind about you."

Izuku perked up a bit. "What is it?"

"Your quirk is an awful lot like All Might's," Tsuyu remarked.

Izuku had a surprised look on his face, and it got even more notable when Shinso said, "I can see what you mean, Asui. And I wouldn't be surprised if Midoriya even got some training from All Might. I mean, his dad works for All Might."

"Your father works for All Might, Midoriya?" Iida asked, looking mildly surprised.

The green-haired boy was about to speak up, but Uraraka said, "Oh yeah, Izuku's dad Mr. Yagi is a really great man. Back when I was a young little kid, my family's business was struggling and we were barely able to afford anything, but then Mr. Yagi came in, saw our business, recommended it to All Might, and then All Might did a commercial for it. Because of that, business not only started booming for us, but it has stayed that way ever since. My parents and I owe a lot to not just All Might, but Izuku's dad as well."

Shinso arched a wry eyebrow. "You and your folks used to be struggling financial wise. I kind of find that hard to believe, especially considering that I've heard of your family before, Uraraka, and you guys are the second richest family in Japan, topped only by Yaoyorozu's folks."

"Trust me, my parents and I used to live in a small cheap apartment when I was a little kid," Uraraka said, "But that changed when things picked up for us thanks to All Might and Izuku's dad."

Iida arched a wry eyebrow. "You and your folks are wealthy, Uraraka? I never would have guessed."

"Obviously you haven't heard of how wildly successful they are now kero," Tsuyu said, "And Uraraka's folks aren't stuck up about it. They regularly do charity work, up to and including Uraraka regularly volunteering at a soup kitchen."

"Yeah," Uraraka confirmed, "Before my family's business was revitalized, I often went hungry because we simply couldn't afford enough to eat. After the construction company my parents run was revitalized, we were making more than enough to live comfortably, and my main concern at the time was never being hungry again." Uraraka rubbed her hands over her soft, very considerable belly. "I... guess that I went a bit overboard there. Heh heh." Lowering her hands back down, Uraraka went on, "Nonetheless, it's one of the worst feelings ever to go hungry. It's something that I hate, and I'd never wish it on anyone else. It's why I like to volunteer to help bring food to others, as well as donate to food drives when they're up and running."

Iida nodded in approval. "You're a very kind hearted and charitable minded person, Uraraka. Very praise worthy if you ask me, and such care for others is a sign that one has the right heart to be a pro hero." Izuku nodded in agreement with Iida, as over the many years he has known Ochaco for, ever since they met as little kids that fateful day when Toshinori took Izuku to the park while Ochaco was there, Izuku had always known Ochaco to be concerned and worried for the well being of other folks. Ochaco, as well as her parents, giving back to help others was something out of Ochaco that didn't surprise Izuku at all.

It was one of the many things about Ochaco that made Izuku develop feelings of romantic interest in her.

Eventually, the bus came to a stop outside of the USJ facility, and Iida tried to do things in a neat and orderly manner, only for everyone to just file off the bus casually. As Aizawa was answering a call really quick, Tsuyu showed the rest of the girls in class the photo on her phone that she took of Satsuki and Samidare. "Aww, they're so adorable!" Mina gushed, "I wish that I had a little sibling!"

"Heh, I bet they'd be fun to have around," Jiro said.

"Oh, oh," Hagakure began, "Does your little sister have a favorite pro hero?"

Nodding once in the affirmative, Tsuyu replied, "Yes, actually. Satsuki is a big fan of Mirko, the Rabbit Hero."

Shrugging, Yaoyorozu said, "Huh. I would have guessed a different female pro hero who's more on the cutesy side of things than Mirko who is often described as being a 'wild beauty' type of woman."

"Well you would have guessed wrong," Tsuyu replied.

Yaoyorozu was about to speak up, but got cut off by Aizawa saying, "Alright students, it's time to head on in." Tsuyu put her phone away before everyone headed into the USJ. The students of UA's Class 1-A were all looking forward to a day of training and learning, but they had no idea of what all sort of dangers were laying in wait, hoping to get the jump on them.

...At the same time, those dangers had no idea what laid in store for them.

...

Inside of the USJ, the twenty students under Aizawa stood with the underground hero as they were greeted by Thirteen, one of the pro heroes who is also a member of the UA staff. "Hello kids," Thirteen greeted, "And welcome to the USJ, or Unforeseen Simulation Joint. This is a specialized training facility designed to help you all train to better prep for helping out in disaster zones. Floods, fires, earthquakes, storms-"

"-Hizashi singing at karaoke night," Aizawa added dryly.

Waving a hand dismissively at Aizawa, Thirteen said, "Oh hush you. Now, before we begin, do we have any questions?"

Raising a hand, Shinso said, "Ah yes, Thirteen-sensei. Will giant purple-black swirling portals of mist be one of the dangers we're going to train to deal with?"

Despite wearing a helmet that wholly masked her face, Thirteen still very clearly exuded vibes of confusion. "No, why?"

Pointing at something happening behind Thirteen, Shinso said, "Then explain that."

Thirteen then turned around suddenly and saw that, down on the ground past the base of the stairs, there was a giant purple-black swirling portal of mist, alarming all of the students, as well as both Thirteen and Aizawa. All of a sudden, an army of villains began marching out from the swirling mist portal, with a hand-covered villain leading the charge. Said hand-covered villain was flanked by a monstrous looking brute with a beak-like mouth and an exposed brain. "What the hell?!" Aizawa scowled, "Are we seriously being invaded by villains?!"

Soon, all of the villains had finished marching out, and a quick glance told the underground hero that there were seventy-five to eighty villains; if Thirteen, Aizawa, and all twenty students fought them, the heroes would still be outnumbered more than three to one. The hand-covered villain, obviously the one leading things here, held a hand up in gesture to the heroes, as if he expected them to hand him something. As he glared up at them through the cracks between the fingers covering his face, the hand-covered villain began to speak.

"Hello, hero fools," the hand-covered villain said, "The name's Tomura Shigaraki, and I am the leader of the League of Villains. We came here to pay you guys a visit for but one reason." The now identified Tomura clenched shut the hand he held up, clenching it tight into a fist. "We're here to kill hero society's beloved Symbol of Peace, that boorish oaf All Might."

"They... they wanna kill him..." Izuku muttered quietly under his breath, looking genuinely fearful, "...Oh no..."

Looking up at the heroes, Tomura said, "I got it that All Might would be here, and yet I don't see him. Where the hell is he? I wanna claim his head so I can clear this level and go home alrea-"

*THWOOM*

Tomura was cut off when the doors leading into the USJ were suddenly blown away, being busted with such force that it created a large, masking cloud of dust and smoke. "Ah, here we go," Tomura said, sounding a lot calmer and more amused now, "The big oaf is here so I can sic Nomu on him to-"

*BANG*

Tomura was cut off when a sudden gunshot sounded out, and Tomura's head jerked back as a bullet pierced the forehead and blasting out the other end, killing him before he was even able to finish talking. As the dust settled, Aizawa, Thirteen, and Class 1-A saw it that not only had All Might arrived, but he brought a bunch of the pro hero teachers part of the UA staff with him, including Snipe who was the one that shot and killed Shigaraki. Seeing so many pro heroes show up right when they were about to be attacked by villains brought a great measure of relief to the students.

"Don't let any of the villains escape!" All Might bellowed as he and the others ran in, even getting Aizawa and Thirteen to join in.

Thanks to what he remembered from the alternate timeline, Toshinori was able to prevent any tragedy from happening at the USJ. In the alternate timeline, ten of the twenty Class 1-A students, as well as Aizawa and Thirteen, were all killed before the attack was stopped and the day was saved. But here, there was only one death and it was the villain who led the attack. Additionally, the fodder force villains went down easily and they were all captured, and the Nomu didn't even put up a token level of resistance when it was captured.

Sadly, the mist villain was able to escape, just as he did in the alternate timeline. Hizashi who was among the UA staff brought along had a rather devil-may-care attitude about it, saying that they can just capture the mist villain later. Toshinori, remembering that the mist villain escaping was a sign that the rise of Dabi was going to come, was nowhere near as easy going as the loud pro hero, and made it a priority to look into tracking down and capturing the mist villain. Toshinori even planned to call in a favor to an American pro hero he knew.

But that could come later. With all of the fodder force villains and the Nomu taken away, and the remains of Tomura hauled off, Toshinori while still in his All Might form checked with Aizawa, Thirteen, and the twenty Class 1-A students to make sure they were alright. The twelve lives lost in the alternate timeline's USJ attack were not lost here, and the students all crowded around All Might to thank him. After accepting their thanks and getting them to back off, Toshinori asked, "So Eraserhead, what's the plan to deal with the press when they inevitably come in to get footage for the nightly news?"

"Tell them the truth," Aizawa said, "That things were settled although there was one death. Don't specify that it was a villain who had died, otherwise we may potentially draw attention of the dead villain's villainous allies who will want revenge." There was already one villain out there anyway who knew that Tomura had died at the USJ, and that will lead to the villains seeking revenge. Again, Toshinori planned to make it a priority to track down and apprehend the mist villain, and he was certain of it that he was going to call in help from that American pro hero he knew.

But yeah, Toshinori agreed it was a good idea to not specify who exactly had died at the USJ, so as to try and keep a lid on other villains potentially seeking revenge. There's no way that withholding said information was going to blow up in the heroes' faces.

END, CHAPTER FIVE

Author's notes;

This chapter covers the results of the heroes versus villains exercise here, the class president elections, the U.A. Barrier incident, and the USJ attack. Due to several precautions Toshinori took (that will be expanded upon later), no innocent lives are lost in the current timeline. But there's still always a risk that things can go south, especially if Toshinori isn't careful. Anyway, next chapter will have Sports Festival talk. Yay.
