"Our investigators are trying to come up with any leads on this so called 'league of villains' but it is looking bleak. We have made some progress, but we haven't been able to come up with any information on this 'Shigaraki' character so far. We have looked through our records for men in their twenties or thirties that have registered having a disintegration quirk, but so far, we have come up short, same goes for that warp-gate villain as well. They either aren't citizens or are using aliases, either way this makes them difficult to find" detective Tsukauchi explains to the hero's Infront of him. He is currently in the faculty meeting room of the U.A. high school, the meeting consisting of himself, Vlad King, Snipe, Midnight and All Might, as well as the schools head, Nezu.
"So, we have nothing to go on is what you are saying" Vlad King says with a huff, moving back into his chair slightly, clearly not impressed by the news given by the detective. "We need to track them down, I shot their ringleader but when he recovers I doubt he will hesitate to pull a stunt like this again...what a pain" Snipe continues, clearly annoyed and tired of the situation as well.
"He did seem like the type" All Might said, verbally passing his own thoughts to the group. "Something to discuss All Might?" Nezu asks, giving him the floor of conversation. "Its his actions that surprise me, the attack on the USJ was too bold, no sane adult would attempt it. But the way he monologued about his reasons for attacking, as well as him bragging about Nomu's many quirks, but he never bragged about himself, never explained his own reasons for being there. Plus, when things didn't go his way, he was visibly, upset, like he was about to have a tantrum, like he had never been told no before in his life" All Might explains, leaning back into his chair, scratching his chin as he starts countering his own points to try and find a more definitive answer to his actions. "Then again, the bragging did help draw me into a fight, he may be reckless, but he isn't an idiot" All Might finishes.
"Not too smart though, bragging about said quirks certainly doesn't help maintain an advantage in battle" Nezu counters, others in the room nodding in agreement. "Shigaraki made many bold claims, but did so with a straight face, whatever is in that mind, he is certain of it that's for sure, and with those thoughts are a spoilt behaviour, a man child" All Might says. "A man child with incredible power though" Vlad King warns, not wanting anyone to be underestimating this new rising threat. "Perhaps he never got the quirk concealing children get in elementary school" Midnight suggests. "Maybe he was home schooled" Snipe says with a dry chuckle, the room not sharing in his short joke.
Once the meeting calms, Detective Tsukauchi continues with his report. "72 villains were arrested after the attack, they were all small-time thugs, usually behind alleys and doing petty crime. What has me concerned is that he managed to get them all together, all form a real force, almost a militia of villains, if he has this kind of charisma with the common thug, he could potentially reach out to more big hitters in the criminal world, especially with the rise of hero's and how desperate villains are becoming" he warns. "Makes sense" says Vlad King. "Plenty of people looking for a cause to get behind" says Snipe, pitching in.
"Thanks to you hero's me and my men are able to properly give this the attention it deserves, we will be looking into these actions very closely, devoting ourselves to this case" The detective says, wrapping up his brief.
"What all of you fail to see is the similarity he has with our students, his potential and raw power. Why, it wouldn't surprise me if someone else saw this in him, decided to nurture him, help him fully find his potential and his place in this world, I only fear that he has been told he deserves to be on top of it" Says Nezu, his words echoing through the room as everyone ponders the potential answer to this thought.
Midoriya was now up and about, though one of his arms was still in a cast, the rest of him was mostly in tact, now able to return to lessons just one day after the incident with Bakugo. He was currently heading to the first lesson of the day, before suddenly hearing faint running. He quickly turns around, only to see All Might in his hero form running through the corridor. "MIDORIYA, THERE YOU ARE" All Might says with his classic smile, letting out a laugh before casually wrapping an arm around Midoriya's shoulders. "Come with me for a moment" He says, not giving him much of a choice before rushing him and Midoriya into the resting room used by the faculty, mostly a glorified waiting room with a small kitchen attached to the room, two sofa's in the centre with a table in the middle.
All Might coughed, evaporating into a puff of smoke before returning to his now normal, weakened form, coughing up some blood as he wipes it with a napkin. "As you can see, that's about how long I can hold that form for now. About fifty minutes" he says through his coughs, letting out a tired sigh as he sits down. Midoriya says nothing, knowing that needing to talk to him so suddenly and without warning must mean this is important. However, learning of his idol and teacher's new situation he can't help but blurt out "Only fifty minutes!?"
"Yeah, that's about how long I got in me now, over did it too many times, and that fight with Nomu really narrowed the timer" He explains, moving to the hot water container on the table as he pours himself a glass into a cup with tea in it, allowing it to brew as they talked.
"I'm sorry All Might! Maybe if I acted quicker, or didn't get distracted I could of-" young Midoriya was cut off to hear the blood spewing laughter od All Might. "GAHAHA apologising for things you couldn't be in control of, we really are alike" All Might says with another laugh, cleaning himself up and sliding the tea over to Midoriya. "Have some tea, it'll calm your nerves" he says before continuing. "I brought you here to explain what's going on moving forward, as well as the plans for the sports festival"
All Might spoke for several minutes, explaining the plans for the sports festival and how it is still on, as well as the situation with Bakugo. "-and of course he will have a trial, it is set to be held just before the sports festival, you will be asked to attend to give your point of view of the events" All Might warns, seeing the slow panic creeping into Midoriya. "But we have taken precautions, he will not be there, only being seen via a one-way computer communication, he won't know you are there or that you are speaking, not interaction will take place" He finishes, seeing the boy calm down as he drinks some of the tea in shaking hands. "But onto more exciting news, you will be taking part in the sports festival, any ideas on how you will be able to tackle it?"
Midoriya had to ponder this question, thinking it over again and again in his mind, his main concern was his quirk, only able to use it once before breaking the limb that used it. "I was able to use it without breaking anything during the USJ attack" he mumbled, looking up at All Might. "Perhaps because it was a real person?" he suggests. All Might goes into thought as well, nodding slightly. "Then how did you come out so injured?" All Might then asks, Midoriya blushing out of embarrassment, as well as shame for the reason. "It was to protect Kyoka" he mumbled; All Might just smiling. "So, you can subconsciously not kill someone, that's a good start" he says, standing up and moving to the window in the room, overlooking the city from the hill the school is on.
"My time is running short young Midoriya, soon I will have to put the title of 'worlds number one hero' to bed" he said, turning around. "Thats why this sports festival is so important young Midoriya, the pro hero's- no, the whole world will be watching. I gave my power to you, for you alone to take my place, to be my heir!" he said, even though he looked so weak, he stood proud and strong in front of the young hero. "You will become the new number one, the new All Might, do you still want to protect these people?" he asked, moving his hand to motion to the city backdrop behind him. "I do!" Midoriya said, fixing his posture as his back stood straight. "Then think of this as your debut, your introduction to the world, Izuku Midoriya, I want you to proudly introduce yourself to the world and say!"
"I am here!"
Midoriya's mind was racing, dozens of thoughts going through his mind as he began to think of what he could do to improve so quickly before the sports festival, as well as to show what he can do to impress the world. He then realised that for now he had to get to lesson, fortunately All Might had already cleared with Ectoplasm why you would be late. He arrived at the class, soon opening the door, seeing that the seating plan had changed due to them being one person short now, seeing everyone in different places, but immediately spotting Jiro waving slightly, smiling bright as she points at the empty chair next to her. "Ahhh Midoriya, good, we were just getting to how the sports festival is going to work, please take your seat" Ectoplasm says before looking back to the rest of the class. Midoriya nods, moving through the class, getting plenty of sympathetic smiles and nods as he walked through, soon taking his seat. Jiro smiled, looking at him with affection before slowly looking back to Ectoplasm.
"As I was saying, the sports festival is one of the biggest events in the world and will take involve the management, ordinary, support and hero courses of UA all competing against each other. It will involve you all going through various individual and team based situations before finally coming down to unique one verse one battles to determine the winner of the whole event" Ectoplasm explains, each student showing their own signs of excitement and worry.
The class continued, various questions about the festival being asked, from where it will be held, to how many people will be participating and attending. With the class soon coming to an end, Ectoplasm soon had to address one more topic. "Now, with the removal of Bakugo from our ranks, we have a new student that will be moving up to 1-A with the rest of you, this student will be moving up from 1-B because they were the closest to moving into 1-A with their entry score. similarly, there will be a new student moving into 1-B, however since there are no other hero courses below 1-B, that spot shall remain vacant for the time being, I will be off to collect them now, the lesson is over but please stay until I return with the student for proper greetings" ectoplasm says, soon heading for the door.
The moment ectoplasm leaves all eyes are on Midoriya, everyone quickly standing up and moving over to say hi, as well as see how he is doing. "Midori-bro! Didn't expect to see you up so soon, Recovery girl doing wonders as usual!" Kirishima says with his usual sharp grin, some others nodding. "How you holding up?" Ojiro says with a smile, sitting on one of the nearby desks. Before he could answer Ashido speaks up. "Prettier sure he is doing great thanks to Jiro" she says, some of the class, primarily the girls bursting into giggles. Midoriya looked confused at the comment, before looking at the now very embarrassed and blushing Jiro, groaning into her hands. "...they forced it out of me" She mumbles, Midoriya quickly putting the pieces together.
"Midoriya! You gotta tell me how you did it! How did you manage to bag one so easily?!" Mineta asked, peaking up from the front of Midoriya's desk, practically drooling for the information, Midoriya stumbling over his words before 'seeing' and invisible hand slamming into the top of Mineta's head. "Ignore him" came the voice of Hagakure.
"but without Jest, congratulations you two, we've seen how well you work together in training, makes sense you would work well together here as well" came the motherly voice of Yaoyorozu, most of the class nodding at the sweet, endearing words. Midoriya smiled, before looking over and Jiro who was now also smiling, her blush still showing which he simply found adorable.
"Hey can we sign you're cast?" asked Kaminari, pointing at Midoriya's cast, a pen already in hand. "Nonsense! I will not allow you to graffiti UA property Kaminari!" came the booming voice of Iida. "...its a cast, but he has a point, with Recovery girl it'll be gone by tomorrow" Chimes Sero. The discussion went on before the door opened to the class, revealing Ectoplasm and a student behind him.
"Class, please welcome the new twentieth student of 1-A" said Ectoplasm, stepping to the side.
"Hello, I'm..."
