Chapter 38.

Reunions.

The next day everyone is in class, however there is one person who did not have a very good time the day before. – "Todoroki! What happened to your face?!"- Todoroki has a few wounds and bandages on his face.

- "It seems that the provisional license remedial course is very hard..."-

- "The class is about to start!"- Iida said. – "Where are Uraraka-san and Tsuyu-chan?!"-

- "They got a permission, Iida."- Momo said.

- "Kirishima isn't here either.."- Jiro said.

- "Can't you really tell me more about what you're doing?"- Kinoko asked Yamikumo.

- "I'm sorry, but what I'm doing now requires discretion and secrecy... so I can't say anything."- Yamikumo said.

- "Hey Midori! How was your internship?"- Mina asked to Izumi.

- "It was ok... I think…"- Izumi said, although the last one was whispered.

So the rest of the day passed normally, except that Izumi seems to be serious and quiet than normal, Yamikumo is also quieter than usual, but he justifies it because of what he is doing in his internship.

Later that night.

The city was quiet, but suddenly two guys, giants, destroy a building while they are fighting each other.

- "A dispute between villains began, two guys with a gigantification quirk."- A police officer said.

In midair, Nejire arrives on the scene. - "Full load. Output: 30"- Nejire said while charges her Wave Motion. – "Wring Wave!"- She then blasts her enemies with two powerful waves from each hand.

Nejire Hado.

Quirk: Wave Motion.

Nejire's Quirk grants her the ability to convert her own vitality into energy and release it in the form of exceptionally powerful spiral shockwaves. Since the energy travels in a spiral, it's not very fast.

Both villains fall to the ground, one of them manages to get up, but... – "Meteor Fafrotskies!"- In a combined move, Tsuyu and Uraraka take down the villain by throwing various debris at him.

- "Nice job."- Ryukyu said upon arrival.

- "Yes! You did great. You two work very well as a team."- Nejire said.

- "Now I understand why Nejire brought you both here."- Ryukyu said. – "You two have skills."-

- "Thank you for accepting us!"- Uraraka and Tsuyu said.

- "You may be students, but while you are here with me we will work to strengthen your skills."- Ryukyu said. – "You may be able to participate in that case."-

- "Case? What case?"-

- "It's a request from All Might's old partner, Sir Nighteye."- Ryukyu said.

Meanwhile, elsewhere…

- "What a sad office you have here..."- Shigaraki said to Chisaki.

- "I don't like having a lot of things."- Chisaki said.

- "You made me ride a subway for 30 minutes... what kind of headquarters is this?"- Shigaraki said.

- "They are precautionary measures; we don't know who may be watching us."- Chisaki said. – "Now, about what we talked about on the phone… Are you going to form an alliance with us?"-

- "That's a very weird way of saying it..."- Shigaraki said as he sat down in the opposite chair. – "We do not answer to anyone, we are going to act as we want, it is 50/50, we are willing to work in partnership." –

- "Is that your only condition?"- Chisaki asked.

- "I have one more... that plan you were talking about... tell me more about that..."- Shigaraki said. – "I know well that..."- Shigaraki put his hand into an inner pocket of a jacket he was wearing.

At that moment, a huge arm shot out of one of Chisaki's minions from what seemed to be its mouth to hold Shigaraki back.

While a death precept appeared behind Shigaraki with a gun pointed at his head.

- "Don't get smart with us." – Said one of the precepts. – "You're getting a little cocky, don't you think?" –This was the leader's assistant, Chronostasis.

- "Who the hell do you think you are, damn brat?!" –said this time the little minion. Which was the general manager, Mimic.

- "You must be more careful who you threaten..."- In that, someone grabs Chronostasis by the neck while a sword is pointed at Mimic's neck. - "Remember that Mr. Compress still is missing an arm."-

Chisaki is slightly surprised to see Alpha appear out of nowhere and manage to grab Chronostasis by the neck with his left hand and aim his sword at Mimic's neck.

- "You brought your bodyguard when you met us... I can do the same."- Shigaraki said.

- "Please release my people..."- Chisaki said.

Shigaraki snaps his fingers and Alpha lets go of Chronostasis and puts away his sword.

- "Chrono, Mimic…he came here to consider a future with us. Let's hear what he has to say. You were in the middle of saying something, weren't you?"- Chisaki said.

At that moment, Shigaraki took something out of his jacket, which when revealed, Overhaul's eyes widened slightly.

A little dart.

- "That plan has to do with this, right?" – Shigaraki asked.

Elsewhere, in Kansai region.

- "Nowadays all the thieves and criminals find themselves involved in many fights!" – Were the words of a professional hero who was a big, rotund man with a big mouth.

His costume consists of a zippered hood, a black mask, gloves, and metallic boots.

This was the BMI Hero: Fat Gum. Who, by the way, was eating a plate of Takoyaki.

- "I can't help it if I'm hungry, you know!" – Fat Gum added to the two people next to him, one of them was Kirishima who smiled enormously at having his internship with a hero like Fat Gum. – "Anyway, the Hero Office here doesn't want, really doesn't want to take up weapons, you came to the right place Red Riot!" –

- "I can't wait more!"- Kirishima exclaimed, bumping his fists excitedly. – "Even though Fourth Kind didn't accept me, I'm grateful to be accepted by you instead!" –

- "If only you had followed Mirio…the way you came after me was so enormously frightening." – Were the words of Amajiki who was the other person next to the hero.

- "Villains! Somebody, help!"- Someone yelled.

Suddenly, four guys run out. Fat Gum manages to catch them. However, one of them uses his quirk to sneak away. – "You won't catch me!"- However, Tamaki catches the villain with his fingers transformed into octopus tentacles. – "An octopus?!"-

Tamaki Amajiki

Quirk: Manifest.

Tamaki's Quirk grants him the ability to manifest the physical characteristics of anything he's eaten; for example, if he eats takoyaki, he can transform his fingers into octopus tentacles. Additionally, anything he manifests is significantly stronger than normal, the more of a substance Tamaki eats, the stronger his manifestation will be.

Tamaki attracts the villain with his tentacles and with his other hand, transformed into a clam, he hits the villain and knocks him out.

- "Good job, Suneater."- Fat Gum said.

- "Awesome!"- Kirishima said.

Suddenly, in the crowd, a guy with a gun, points at Tamaki. – "Watch out!"- Fat Gum said.

The guy fires and the bullet hits Tamaki's shoulder. – "Senpai!"- Kirishima charges at the guy, but he shoots at Kirishimai, the bullet hits him in the head, but it bounces thanks to Kirishima's hardened skin.

- "Suneater, Red Riot!"- Fat Gum said while the subject runs away.

- "Don't worry, I'll catch him!"- Kirishima said as he starts chasing the guy.

- "I'll catch him with my octopus!"- Tamaki said. However, nothing happens. – "My quirk won't activate!"-

Meanwhile, Kirishima followed the guy into an alley, which has no exit at the end of it.

- "You don't have an escape!"- Kirishima said.

- "Shut up!"- The guy said as three blades come out of his arm and tries to attack Kirishima, however these blades have no effect against Kirishima's hardened skin.

Taking advantage of this, Kirishima punches the guy in the face, knocking him down. – "I held back not to hurt you too much, so you'd better give up!"-

- "It's not fair, it's not fair! I have to save my brothers!" - The guy said while injecting himself with something. Suddenly, multiple blades come out of the guy's body, Kirishima tries to dodge them.

- "He got stronger all of a sudden!"- Kirishima thought, after this, she turns to see the civilians who were there. – "Everyone, stand back! Go to a safe place where the blades will not reach you!"-

At that moment, the criminal let out a new scream as more blades came out of his body, which went against Kirishima, hitting him and destroying more parts of his clothing.

But something happened, some of the blades managed to make slight cuts on his body even with his hardening.

- "He managed to cut me, even with my hardening! I won't be able to get close to him like that!" – Kirishima thought as he saw the cuts on his arms and legs.

- "You were also too arrogant, weren't you brat?!" –Shouted the criminal with a smile full of dementia. - "That's what happens when you play on the side of justice!"-

Kirishima just watched as the blades began to close in on him faster and faster.

Immediately, Kirishima was on his feet again. By the time you start to harden your body more and more.

- "Push it!" – His body seemed to start to crack.

- "More! Even more!" – Not only did his body seem to crack, but it already became so hard and sharp in some parts of his body.

- "My whole body and spirit must harden!" – His fingers turned into a kind of claws and his teeth became much sharper.

- "Until it becomes an unbreakable wall!"

The blades colliding with Kirishima, several of the blades bent until finally breaking in half or into pieces.

- "What?!" – exclaimed the criminal surprised by what happened.

The result of training Hardening and the strengthening of his quirk.

Maximum Hardening Level.

Kirishima's entire body was so hardened, that apart from having several cracks on his body, but also various parts of his body were pointed and sharp, such as his fingers, teeth and hair, and his eyes equally sharp.

His appearance was that of an unstoppable beast.

- "Red Riot: Unbreakable!" – Kirishima punched the blades to pieces, then ran towards the criminal who was completely scared. – "Red Gauntlet!"- And he gave a strong punch to the criminal's stomach, managing to defeat him.

- "Incredible! He made it!"- A civilian said.

- "Red Riot!"- Fat Gum arrives on the scene. – "I see you caught him. Good job."-

- "Thanks!"- Kirishima said.

- "Thanks a lot, young man!"- A civilian said.

- "You're amazing, now I'm your fan."- A girl said.

- "You defeated him while keeping us from getting hurt. You did something some heroes wouldn't. You really saved us."- Another civilian said.

- "You will be an amazing hero in the future, I'm sure!"- The first civilian said.

Kirishima smiles at these words. - "Thank you!"-

Next day.

Class 1-A.

- "Look! It's your hero name! You are on the internet!"- Sero told Kirishima as he showed him the news on the phone.

- "Uraraka! Tsuyu! You two are also in the news!"- Mina told them as she also showed the news to Uraraka and Tsuyu.

- "Although our licenses are professional, out there we are all heroes. Good job!" - Iida said. – "But school always comes first for students! Don't fall asleep in class!"-

- "Well said Iida! I'm excited and very ready!"- Kirishima said.

Izumi smiles at the attitude of her classmates, but in her mind Eri still worries her a lot.

Some days after.

Kirishima was coming out of the dorms; Fat Gum has called him to meet at an address. But he wasn't the only one, Izumi, Uraraka and Tsuyu had also left the dorms at the same time. – "Oh, Midoriya, Tsuyu-chan, Uraraka, you guys are going out too!"-

- "Yes, although I was told that it is not necessary to wear my hero costume."- Izumi said.

- "I guess you're also going to the station, right? Let's go together!"- Kirishima said.

Once at the station... – "We all go to the same train? Kirishima, aren't you supposed to go to Kansai?"- Uraraka asked.

- "Yes, but today's meeting place is different."- Kirishima said.

Once on the train...

- "We headed to the same station, what a coincidence, don't you think?"- Kirishima said.

Once out of the station...

- "We even go to the same direction; this is clearly not a coincidence."- Izumi said.

Once arriving at the place, the three were welcomed by three familiar faces.

- "The big three are here too..."- Tsuyu said.

Upon entering the place, they are surprised to see the number of professionals in the place. Among them are Ryukyu, Fat Gum, Eraserhead, Sir Nighteye, among other heroes.

- "What's going on in here?"- Kirishima asked.

- "Gran Torino?!"- Izumi said as she recognized her previous teacher. - "Aizawa-sensei is here too!"-

- "Ryukyu!"- Nejire said. – "What's going on? What are we going to do? What kind of meeting are we going to have?"-

- "You'll know soon. Sir Nighteye, I think it's time to start."- Ryukyu said.

- "Thanks to the information that everyone has provided, I have managed to make a breakthrough in the progress of my investigation."- Sir Nighteye said. – "I have called everyone to this meeting to share the information, and also to discuss the procedure that we will take against the organization called The Eight Precepts of Death. Please, sit down."- After this, everyone starts taking seats at several tables which are arranged in a "U" and in front of everyone Nighteye is sitting.

The room goes silent as Nighteye doesn't say anything.

- "What are we waiting for?"- One of the heroes asked.

- "I'm waiting for my informant to arrive."- Nighteye said.

When Nighteye said that the door of the room opens and a person enters, said person is recognized by some of those present. – "Atanagi-kun?!"- Kirishima, Uraraka, and Tsuyu thought.

Unlike the rest of the UA students present, Yamikumo is wearing his hero outfit.

- "Yamikumo is Sir Nighteye's informant! Wait... that means Yamikumo is the partner that Mirio mentioned!"- Izumi thought.

Yamikumo hands a folder with information and photos to Nighteye and then proceeds to sit next to Mirio.

- "Perfect, now we can start."- Nighteye said. - "For several weeks now, we have been keeping an eye on a certain group of villains called the Eight Precepts of Death. During this time of investigation, there was a rapid increase in contact between members of this organization with people outside of it. But the contact that most caught our attention was the following."- The screen shows how Chisaki was following Twice. – "A few weeks ago, Chisaki, the leader, came into contact with Jin Bubaigawara, a member of the League of Villains known as Twice. Thanks to Fireheart this information was confirmed."-

- "So, chances are the league will get involved as well."- Aizawa said.

Suddenly, a hero interrupts the conversation. - "I have a problem with this meeting."- He said before pointing towards Izumi and her classmates. – "What are they doing here? I know they are UA students, but they are too young to be here."- He then looks at Nighteye. – "Also, you were using a first-year student for a very dangerous job, are you crazy?!"-

- "I have to stop you there. Although they are students, I think they have the experience to be with us."- Fat Gum said. – "Although... I don't know if it was right to use a first-year student for such a dangerous task."-

- "Thanks to Fireheart I have managed to get information faster than expected, if it weren't for him this meeting would not have been taking place yet."- Nighteye said. – "Besides, he hasn't been discovered yet, so I think he's good for the task."-

- "I guess you're right..."- Fat Gum said.

– "Going back to the point. There are reasons to believe that the precepts are involved in the sale of illegal drugs."- Nighteye said.

- "It's true."- Fat Gum said. – "The other day, during the Red Riot's tough battle, Tamaki was shot with something I hadn't seen before."- Fat Gum gets up from his chair. – "A drug that erases quirks."-

This surprises everyone. – "Tamaki! Are you ok?"- Mirio said.

- "Yes, after sleeping I returned to normal."- Tamaki said.

- "After Tamaki was shot, we took him to the hospital to see what happened, and it turns out his quirk was attacked. Luckily, he managed to recover."- Fat Gum said. – "Unfortunately, the guy who shot doesn't say anything and the gun was destroyed, however..."- Fat Gum turns to see Kirishima. – "The guy tried to shoot Kirishima-kun, and thanks to his quirk the bullet managed to bounce, and we managed to get that bullet with all its contents inside."-

- "I did what?"- Kirishima said.

- "As for the content... something terrible came out from within..."- Fat Gum's expression changed to one of disgust. – "The bullet contained blood and human cells."-

This surprises everyone, at this moment, Izumi and Mirio remember the bandages on Eri's body.

- "And what does this have to do with the eight precepts of death?"- A hero asked.

- "The quirk of the boss, Chisaki, villain name Overhaul, grants him the ability to disassemble anything he touches, as well as reassemble it in any configuration he desires, effectively giving him full control over matter."- Sir Nighteye said. – "Chisaki has a daughter, when Midoriya and Mirio found her, her arms and legs were completely bandaged. In other words, he's using his daughter's body to make those bullets."-

- "That bastard... using his daughter like that..."-

- "Do we know anything else about those bullets?"-

- "Yeah... the bullets the guy Kirishima captured used are a prototype version of the ones Chisaki currently has."- Yamikumo said. – "Currently the bullets they have the effect would last longer, however, in theory the new bullets will be able to erase a quirk permanently."-

– "We have investigated everything, we have not left a single stone unturned, and we have managed to discover several locations where the girl may be, however, we cannot attack them all, we have to make sure that the one we attack is the correct one. That's why I'm asking all the heroes here to help me investigate all these locations, let's find their location and finish them off."- Nighteye said.

- "Me and my agency will help in any way we can!"- Ryukyu said.

- "And mine too!"- Fat Gum said.

Thus, everyone began to support Nighteye's plan.

- "Thank you very much. Now I'm going to tell you the details."- Sir Nighteye said.

Minutes later. Rest room.

- "So…..that was what happened…"- Kirishima said after Izumi and Mirio told Yamikumo, Kirishima, Amajiki, Uraraka, Tsuyu and Nejire what happened regarding their encounter with Eri and Chisaki.

- "How frustrating..."- Kirishima said.

- "It's hard to see an injustice in front of you and not be able to do anything..."- Yamikumo said.

- "By the way, Atanagi." – Kirishima said. – "Why didn't you tell us that you were working in the same agency as Midoriya?"-

- "What I was doing required discretion, so I couldn't say anything."- Yamikumo said before looking at Izumi. – "Sorry for not telling you."-

- "It's ok, don't worry."- Izumi said. – "What you were doing was something very important, if it weren't for you we wouldn't have had this meeting to begin with."-

- "Now that we're all a part of this... you understand that we can't mention this to anyone who wasn't present at this meeting, right?"- Yamikumo said.

- "Yes…"-

– "But don't worry... the next time we see Eri... we'll make sure to rescue her!"- Yamikumo said.

- "Yeah!"-

Two days later.

1-A Dorms. Very late at night.

Izumi, Yamikumo, Uraraka, Tsuyu and Kirishima meet in the main room of the dorms. Everyone was asleep except for them. – "Are you ready?"- Yamikumo asked, the others nodded. – "All right, the operation starts now."-

After this, they change into their hero outfits, meet up with the Big Three and Aizawa, and then head to the meeting place.

The operation to rescue Eri has begun.

To be continued.

So yeah. Here we are.

Another chapter finished and yeah.

Oh yeah I'm back from my trip! And I feel refreshed!

The preparations are over, and the raid is about to begin.

I know it didn't change much compared to the canon, but don't worry, from the next chapters things will get more interesting.

Also, we are getting closer to the end of the UA Saga, the arc after this one will be very intense, I can assure you (As I already mentioned, to me the cultural festival is part of the Overhaul arc since they have the same central axis of the story, Eri.).

Nothing more to say I hope you like it.

As always feel free to leave any comment, review, suggestion, or question about the story, of course always with respect.

Leave your comments about the story, if you like it or not, that also helps me to improve my writing.

So yeah. That's all for now.

Bye Bye.
