DeathlyJazzHands55: You might just be onto something my friend.

AshenOne: Thank you for the music tip, I'll definitely be using it! As for the blinding of Aizawa, I am aware of the consequences, but my story will start to deviate from the manga, so the result might be completely different. Perhaps the threat you are warning of will never come to pass...

Also, as for Dabi, he is one of Shigaraki's loyalists. He will be returning in the upcoming Villain War.

Guest: It's funny you should ask, one of them is showing up this chapter.

CoolK: No, if anything people will think he should go into retirement, considering everything he's been through.


"Hello everyone..."

The class could only remain silent as their homeroom teacher, the mentor with a tough love attitude they had all come to adore, stood in front of them with bandages over his eyes. Despite his current condition, despite the fact that he had been rendered powerless, Aizawa stood tall, proud, and without shame.

Like a hero...

"I'm sorry that I can no longer teach at the moment, and I am beyond disappointed that I won't get to see you grow...but it doesn't matter, because I know you will. I have faith in each and every one of you, minus Mineta, and I'm sure you will grow into wonderful hero-"

Aizawa was cut off when his entire class rushed towards him and enveloped him in a big group hug. His mouth hung open, before slowly curving into a smile.

"It won't be class 1A without you!"

"We'll miss you, so much!"

"Thank you Aizawa, for everything!"

At that moment, Shota Aizawa felt complete. Knowing that he had a profound effect on these kids...no, these heroes, it filled the hole in his heart caused by the many tragedies in his life.

"I'll find a way to come back, I promise. I'm still Eraserhead...once I recover, I will resume teaching you all."

"But what about your eyes? You're basically quirkless!"

"My quirk wasn't what got me through, it was skill. I have to adapt, overcome this like a hero should. I am NOT retiring."

Aizawa parted ways with his class, and Jotaro helped him outside. "Do you know why Josuke couldn't heal them?" The crippled hero asked.

"The acid didn't actually harm your eyes...it is more like glue. The stuff is caked on the inside of your eyelids, thus Josuke couldn't revert it without accidentally poking them out. Whatever this acid is...it isn't going anywhere, I'm sorry."

"It's okay Jotaro...thank you for taking care of them. I meant it, when I said I was coming back. I'm still going to be a hero, somehow."

"And I'll be looking forward to the day you do." Jotaro said, clasping his blind friend's hand in his own. "Good luck, Shota."

"You too, Jotaro."

Aizawa got into the car, helped by Present Mic, and raised his head towards UA, almost as if he were looking at it.

"Farewell...for now."


Jotaro sat at his desk and put his head in his hands, groaning.

"Well, you've had a bad day."

"I just became 1A's homeroom teacher...and how the hell did you get in my office?"

"I can turn into string, in case you forgot." Jolyne responded, crossing her legs and glancing at the dolphin poster. "I just slipped under the door...are you sure you can handle this?"

"I have to, for their sake. All of them have been through more than what high schoolers should, especially the ones that are aware of One For All, your brother...I hate that I have to do it, but they need someone they can trust to take Aizawa's place, and I'm the best option."

"Look Dad, you don't have to hold the world on your shoulders..."

"I know, that's why I'm glad you're here, Jolyne."

"Huh?" Jolyne was surprised as her father took her hands, with a worried look on his face. "Now more than ever, it's important for us all to stick together. Josuke isn't doing well right now, this is the third time he failed to save someone...and the old man is concerned. Jolyne...I might need you to stick around, I need all Joestars on deck helping me with this."

Jolyne nodded. It wasn't every day Jotaro Kujo asked for help, so the situation had to be more serious than she thought. "Alright, what do you need me to do?"

"Just watch over the students, especially your brother and his friends. I have a dorm room prepared for you, so you can move right in. I'm sorry to ask this of you, but I...really need help, and I trust YOU more than most."

Jolyne nodded thoughtfully. "I-I understand Dad...a little over a year ago, I never thought I would have a family like this...hell, I thought Johnny had died in a car crash, and it was your fault...now that I have it, I'm going to be there for you all, no matter what."

"Thank you Jolyne...I-I've always cherished you, you know that right?"

"Heh...that is still the most awkward way of saying 'I love you' I've ever heard...but I love you too, Dad."


"WAKE UP SLEEPYHEAD!"

"GUH!" Johnny was yanked out of bed and pulled onto the floor, landing on his ass. "Every time! Come on Jolyne!"

"It's fun. How is my little brother doing today?"

"Eh. Still kind of recuperating from what happened to Aizawa...I'm assuming Dad asked you to be here, right?"

"Yeah, but I'm actually also moving in."

"Mo-...well there goes any privacy I ever had."

"Speaking of invading privacy, any particular reason as to why this is in your room?" Jolyne said, holding up a familiar Deep Dope tank top.

"I was helping her do laundry, get your head out of the gutter." Johnny said, annoyed. "Although I guess that would be asking too much of you...since you practically live there."

Jolyne proceeded to biff Johnny on the forehead. "OI!"

"That's for being a jackass. That being said, I know that you and Jiro are responsible about these types of things, although if you two are serious about keeping your relationship a secret, maybe you shouldn't leave clothes in each other's rooms."

"It's...getting a bit harder to do that." Johnny admitted.

"Leave clothes in each other's rooms? You were doing that on purpose?"

"NO. I mean keeping the secret. There are some people who think that Kyoka is dating Izuku, and pretty much everyone thinks I'm free. Someone is already planning to ask me out, and I think it's starting to weigh down on her...I'm worried about her, I...I think she's having second thoughts..."

"NO I'M NOT!" A muffled shout came from the common room.

" Well, I think you have your answer."

"Yeah, her hearing has been getting better...then there's Gyro. After Aizawa lost his eyes, Gyro has been trying to track down Hol Horse and his stupid acid spitting partner. I think he feels guilty that he didn't take Hol Horse down in their first encounter. Izuku, the poor guy got dragged into the relationship drama by complete accident, all because Kyoka asked him for help with her investigation. My friends are...I'm worried something is happening to them."

"I think I can do something to help...I can help Gyro with the cowboy, you can help Jiro and Midoriya with their situation. If two Kujos put their heads together, we can tame the beast before shit hits the fan."

"Okay...make sure he doesn't do something stupid."

"I would worry more about yourself right now." Jolyne said. "Because I'm hearing someone coming."

"Oh...oh no."

Johnny's door was thrown open, and Kyoka stepped through with a piercing glare on her face. "Second thoughts?"

"Hi...you know you look beautiful today."

"You DARE question my resolve? I'll give YOU second thoughts."

"...I love you, you know that right?"

Kyoka's expression softened. "I love you too..."

She then proceeded to tackle him to the ground and began punching him in the chest. "Which is why I'm going to smack the doubt right out of you!"

"GAH! Jolyne! HELP!"

"Nope, I know better than to mess with a woman scorned, this is your mess to clean up." Jolyne said with a smile as she went out Johnny's door. "OW!"

Jolyne looked back to the scuffle happening behind her, and Kyoka now had Johnny in a headlock...

But they were both laughing.

Yeah...she's a keeper. Jolyne thought to herself as she headed towards her new dorm. I'm glad you found someone who makes you happy Johnny...you deserve it.

Jolyne's phone rang, and her face fell as soon as she saw who it was.

And then...there's Anasui, how ironic can this get?


Mineta walked into the common room, and he immediately stopped when he saw a gorgeous woman with green/black hair sitting on the couch, looking rather bored.

Oh my God... *GULP* Am I in heaven?

"Hey, quit staring at my woman." A voice came from behind him, and Mineta turned to see a tall man with pink hair standing behind him. "Or I will read you apart from the inside out. Got it you little urchin?"

"Listen sir, you're talking to a bona fide hero student, I'm not afrai-"

"OI! MINETA YOU BETTER NOT BE PERVING ON MY SISTER!" A familiar voice bellowed down the hall, and whatever bravery Mineta had immediately went down the toilet. "S-sister? I..uh, just remembered that I have mourning to do, yeah! See ya!" With that, Mineta ran off as fast as his little legs could carry him.

Narciso Anasui turned and smiled. "It's been a while since I have seen your beautiful face, my love."

"Bleh. What are you doing here Anasui?"

"I heard about your mother...I wanted to come see you."

Jolyne looked at him in surprise. "Wow...really?"

"Yes...will you marr-"

"There it is."

"Jolyne, I love you more than anything. I would DIE for you, why won't you return my affection?"

"Because you're being creepy about it, Anasui. I'm not going to marry you, not now, not ever, so stop asking."

Anasui huffed and sat down next to Jolyne. "One of these days, you're going to say yes."

"That, Anasui, is the day I forgive Susan...which is why you're here. She deserved what she got, Anasui...I can only mourn for the woman I thought she was."

Anasui nodded. "I understand. I'm sorry if I stepped on any toes...if you need some space, I'll give it to you." He proceeded to get up.

"NO! I-I mean...it's been so long since I've seen anyone from Green Dolphin...as much as I hate to admit it, it's kind of comforting seeing you here."

Anasui's mouth hung open, before breaking into a big cheesy grin. "You want me to stay?"

Jolyne rolled her eyes. "Yes Anasui, I do. Thank you for coming all the way out here."

"You DO love me!"

"Like a brother."

"Oh COME ON! Speaking of brothers...I don't think I've ever met yours."

"He doesn't like you all that much, kind of like Dad."

"Shit...wait...you told him about me?"

"Oh my God."

"You TALK about me!"

"I'm going to unpack my things now."

"Can I move into your dorm with you?"

"No."

"We're soulmates Jolyne, you just don't realize it."

"Nice seeing you."

Anasui watched as Jolyne walked away, his eyes gleaming. "She was happy to see me...then it's settled, I'm not leaving her side ever again!"

"I can hear you monologuing to yourself back there!"


"We strrike toniight." The hooded figure said, a long tongue protruding from his hold to pick his lips.

"Ew. Why is it you like to attack at night anyway?" Hol Horse responded. He was far from amused with his new partner, but at least he didn't lose this one on the first go.

"I don't like the ssssunnnn."

"O-okay. Listen pal, you're not out of the woods yet. You pulled a real stupid stunt the other day, shooting acid at that teacher. You know they're after us now, right?"

"It...doesn't...matterrrr."

"Doesn't-YOU PUT A TARGET ON OUR BACKS!" Hol Horse said, jabbing a finger into the hooded man's chest. "I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOUR GODDAMN NAME, AND YOU THINK YOU CAN DRAG ME DOWN WITH YOU?! That teacher...we could've just RAN! He was a respected member of their staff, second only to Jotaro fucking Kujo, who, by the way, we don't stand a CHANCE against. You fucked up!"

"The only thiiing that matterrss isss...the chiiildren. I neeed an appetizer befoore the main coursssssse."

"You...you actually want to eat them, don't you? You want to hurt these children."

"And you...don't...?"

Hol Horse's eyes bored into the blackness underneath the hood. "I'm only targeting them because I don't have a choice. I have a code that I live by, and that's to never hurt a woman or a child unless I have to. I already have to break it with Zeppeli and the One For All kid, I don't want anyone else to get hurt when it isn't necessary. If you go after a kid you aren't supposed to, I'll put a bullet in that hood, understand?"

"Codesss are for the weeeak."

"Whatever...let's just get this over with, FOR REAL this time!"


"Hey Jiro? Can we talk?"

Kyoka turned to see Uraraka looking up at her sheepishly. "I take it this is about Midoriya?"

Uraraka nodded. "I just wanted to say...well I...l-like...him too. I don't want to break you guys up or anything, if anything I want to wi-"

"Uraraka, I know you like him, it's like, super obvious."

"R-really?" Uraraka's face fell. "Then..why did you-"

"I don't like him like that, he's like a brother to me. When we were huddled in the corner like that, I was actually asking him for help...with...something secret."

"So, you have a secret and Deku knows it? That's really it?"

"Yeah, that's really it."

"Jiro...I'm not sure if I believe you or not, but you've never really lied to me before, so..."

"Uraraka...I guess there's only one way I can convince you, isn't there?"

"What would tha-"

"I'm in love with JoJo."

"Wait...Ashido was right?!"

"Yeah, but don't tell her! Midoriya knows about this...he's been trying to help me."

"Oh...oh my God, the rumors..."

"They really weren't about me-"

"I know...I...kind of started them."

"You WHAT?!"

"It was an accident!" Uraraka waved her hands in front of her face. "I-I was just thinking about moving on, and I mentioned JoJo as a possibility to Tsu, but someone must've overheard and...oh Jiro I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to make things harder for you!"

Kyoka's mouth hung open. It was Uraraka...out of all people, and it was a complete accident.

"Uh...okay. Just...were you going to ask him out?"

"NO! He's Deku's childhood friend, that would be really shallow of me. I...I really thought you two were...and then I caught you in the corner and...oh no I really caused a mess didn't I?"

"It's okay, really. You didn't do it on purpose, and...I don't think you hurt my chances too much."

"No Jiro...now that I accidentally started the rumors...other girls are going to try and beat me to it, I just caused a war, a war that you're right in the middle of."

Kyoka snorted. "A war? Over a guy? Come on, I don't think that's realistic."

Besides, I technically already won, right?

"Jiro, you need to ask JoJo out before it's too late, because I already know a few people that are gonna try."

"..alright Uraraka, I'll think about it." Kyoka said. "So...no more of this tension between us, right? We're cool?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"Good." Kyoka twirled an earphone jack as she pondered the recent revelation. So, a war huh? Well, I guess it makes sense, Johnny has the Joestar looks. But...I have faith that it will turn out okay, I'm not the possessive type. If some girl comes up, I'm sure he'll turn them down, and if not...

Kyoka looked down at her chest.

"I think he would want to be with someone with a little more...bust." Mineta's words rang through her skull, as she began to rub her arms, feeling self-conscious.

Then at least he'll be happy.

"Kyoka!"

Gyro came running up, with Jolyne and some pink-haired dude behind him. "Hey Gyro, what's up?"

"You need to come with us, and bring the others."


"So this is the USJ..." Hol Horse said glancing around the giant dome-like structure. "I heard they haven't used it since the incident..."

"It wasss sssmart, sssneaking though here."

"As long as we find our way into the dorm building, we should be in the clear." Hol Horse noted, before pointing a finger at his hooded companion. "But remember what I said about hurting non-targets..."

"You'll sssshooot mee."

"You got it." Hol Horse began scaling the side of the cliff area. "Now let's get down to business."

"I couldn't agree more." A voice came from above them.

"Huh?" Hol Horse looked upwards and immediately went pale.

"Midnigght snacckk." The hooded figure said, and a wide smile could be made out from underneath the hood.

Gyro, Johnny, Kyoka, Izuku, Jolyne, Momo, Bakugo, and Anasui all stood above the criminal duo.

"Did you think you could blind our teacher and get away with it? We've got you right where we want you cowboy."
