Chapter 123: True meaning of the Devil Brats

A flashback begins as Handsy began to tell the true origins of the Devil Brats. When Hatsume and his comrades were four years old, they live together at an abandoned factory as Hatsume's grandparents took him in and raise him themselves. All for one then tasked the original Devil Brats to make themselves known in Japan so they can steal one for all from Izuku Midoriya, which caused them to go on a crime spree. Soon, the original Devil Brats went to their first day of kindergarten and got involved in an all-out brawl during recess. Ever since then, the Devil Brats has vowed to become the most dangerous and unforgivable villain organization of Japan. Team Kouna then gives the villains a look of disgust before Hisashi scolded them for sticking to the former legacy of Hatsume and his comrades before lecturing them about how it will not make the world a better place. Suddenly, Nurse Bloodbender shut him up by using her quirk to control him, causing Hisashi's comrades (especially Drake, Gretel and Kouna) to become furious until the professors arrived to challenge the Devil Brats.


Lord Demon then warns the professors not to mess with him now that he has expanded his team to destroy peace and harmony before preparing to take off his gloves, which caused Professor Nelson to immediately take action and told the students to return to their dormitories. The students themselves all then yell out yes sir before grabbing Kouna and Henry, so they won't rush into the fight themselves. However, the villains keep trying to attack them to get both one for all and Esme's brooch, which caused the professors and dean to jump in and protect them as Dean King Mighty himself starts monologuing that ever since he turned his agency into a prestigious school, he wants to not only inspire students to become hardcore pro heroes, but to keep them safe from being killed. A professor then admits that as teachers, it's their job to keep their students safe until they are ready to become true pro heroes, causing the villains to become furious as they work together to fight the teachers until Lord Demon gets an idea and told Gigantomachia Jr. that it's time to use their exclusive move. Meanwhile, Class A113 managed to escape to their dorms, causing Kouna to get mad and ask why they didn't stay and help the professors against the Devil Brats, which also caused Plunderin to tell her that he and everyone else wants to defend Braveworks Academy too. However, not only they are completely outnumbered, but most of the members have overwhelming quirks that could possibly kill them in seconds. Kouna then starts crying as she told everybody that she doesn't care about the consequences of her action or the risk of getting killed, because she just wants to protect those she cares about and everyone in the entire world. everyone then gives her sympathy as she finished it off with tears in her eyes by saying "who will protect the heroes, when they are the ones that needs to be protected".


Soon, Hisashi puts his hand on Kouna's head, causing her to be surprised as he asks her if she really wants to recreate the legacy of the Peanut Gallery and protect everyone in the world, which also caused Kouna to wipe her tears and confirms it. Hisashi then gives the rest of Class A113 a reassuring look before telling his twin sister that she's going to need help from a team of heroes, which includes Class A113 themselves, Class A114, Cadet 1a, and Team Pomegranate. Hisashi then told everyone to follow him to his lab, causing everyone to listen until they reached the laboratory, where Hisashi introduced everyone to Siri Jr. before giving everyone gears to upgrade themselves. Soon, Kouna gives everyone a mischievous smile as she told them to have some fun, which caused everyone to scream "yeah". Class A113 all then rushed back to help the professors fight the Devil Brats afterwards with Class A114 and Cadet 1a by their side.
