For months, Katsuki Bakugou and Izuku Midoryia had disappeared along with Ira Akoi, who also disappeared a few months prior. Aizawa had been working to find them but came up dry every time. Soon the new year started up, and he and his class were attacked. Now he has to protect his class and deal with the missing cases.

31. Chapter 30

Emerald appears on the other side of the portal to see Aquamarine sitting at the bar, using one of her quirks to heal Shigaraki. Amythest was leaning on a wall with his mask pulled down and a scowl on his face. Kurogiri was now walking to the bar to clean glasses and pour drinks for everyone. "There you go, Young Master. All healed up," Aquamarine said, putting away the first aid supplies. An eerie quietness filled the room. A tension so thick you could cut it with a knife. No one wanted to speak and break the silence, almost as if a bomb would go off if it did. Eventually, the TV turned on.

"Status report," a voice said. Aquamarine was the first to speak up.

"The Symbol of Peace was definitely weak, like you said, Master. However, we didn't get the chance to kill him, only weaken him more. The rest of the pros managed to arrive before we had the opportunity. Most of our people were defeated and captured. Shigaraki was shot in the hand by Snipe. I healed the wound, but he won't be able to use his hand for a while. We lost the nomu. Finally, we have managed to instill fear in the people of Japan," she said with a straight face.

"Well, no use crying over spilled milk. This endeavor was not a complete loss. Find stronger troops! Take all the time you need. We can't move freely!" the voice in the TV said, "That's why we need a symbol like you. Tomura Shigaraki! Next time, the world will know of the terror you represent!"

"Master is right," Emerald said, "It's not like this was our only shot. We will have other chances to kill All Might. We manage to instill fear in the people of Japan, a crack in their trust in heroes. We can widen that crack until the heroes' foundation crumbles. However, we can only do that with a leader. Shigaraki, you are that leader." Everyone in the room turned to face the pale olive-skinned boy and bowed, "Shigaraki, it's time to lead us."The man-child smiled at this.

"Ok, then, Emerald, Amethyst, and Aquamarine. I want you to train and continue to observe Class 1-A. If I remember correctly, the UA sports festival is coming up. See if any of the participating students are fitting to be a villain. Kuorgiri. Let's go track down Stain. Sensei. Tell the doctor to make more nomus. Our next attack will turn the odds in our favor."
