Applause and cheers ring out as Deku reenters the League of Villains headquarters.
"That was amazing! Five Stars! Encore! Encore!" Nana yells, a large grin on her face.
"Maybe later, Nana, but in the meantime, we still have to finish up the problem," Deku says as he walks towards the bathroom to switch uniforms.
"Shouldn't we wait to do that to make sure Sir Nighteye didn't use his quirk on you?" Kurogiri asks.
"No, he can only use it once a day like my memory viewer, and he already used it before I arrived," Izuku, now sans mask, says.
"So Kamui is likely dead?" Nana asks.
"Yes, most likely," Izuku says. "Is the UA uniform in the bathroom?"
"Yes," Kurogiri says as Izuku rushes into the bathroom and, within a few minutes, is done changing and cleaning his swords.
"Good, now we have a new problem," Izuku says.
"Which is?" Nana asks.
"Nana needs to disintegrate part of my arm," Izuku says.
"What!" Nana shouts.
"I need a reason for why it took me so long to get back, and I need to have some believable injury since I did fight a Nomu that was giving members of the top ten trouble," Izuku says.
"But this feels like a bit much," Nana says as she shifts around uncomfortably.
"I'll be fine as long as it's only a small touch," Izuku says. "Plus, maybe when Recovery Girl heals me, some of these annoying scars will disappear."
"Izuku," Nana says as she walks up to him and puts four fingers on his shoulder. "You're my cousin, I… I don't want to hurt you."
"If you don't hurt me, the heroes will never believe that I defeated a Nomu who was made to challenge the top 10. Then they might get suspicious, then they'll capture me for questioning and put me in a room with a truth seeker, and then… well, let's just say at that point I may be strong, but I'm not strong enough to fight nearly every hero in Japan at once."
"You think they'd have that many?" Nana asks quietly.
"At a minimum, they'd have some people advocating for my innocence like the teachers at UA and Endeavor," Izuku says. "And then they'd have everyone who thinks a quirkless shouldn't be a hero there as well at which point that is most a solid 50 heroes and that's not assuming they guess I'm Deku."
"In which case, nearly every hero they can spare will be there," Nana says.
"Exactly," Izuku says as he holds out his arm.
"Don't hate me for this, okay," Nana says.
"Of course, I won't. It was my idea, the only person I'll hate for this is myself," Izuku says with a smile.
Nana takes a deep breath and then touches Izuku's arm for a quarter of a second disintegrating all the clothes on Izuku's arm as well as a solid chunk of his skin.
Izuku takes a deep breath and nods to Kurogiri, who opens a portal to where he teleported the Nomu before Izuku walks towards it and says to Nana, "I'll see you in a few days." Before disappearing into the portal.
"We're going to need to make a public statement," Endeavor says to Mirko.
"Probably the fact that we caught the hero killer isn't going to be much help when about 30 of us were killed between Deku's massacre and the Nomu's self-destruction," Mirko says.
"I still can't contact Izuku," Mirio says to Sir Nighteye.
"I'm sure he'll turn up eventually," Sir Nighteye says.
"Those Nomu were fighting members of the top 10 with little problem. What's to ensure that they didn't take out Izuku too?" Bubble Girl asks.
"I watched his performance throughout the school year. He already took down a Nomu that was giving All Might trouble with one attack; he's probably fine," Sir Nighteye says.
"I wouldn't go with fine," Izuku says as he lands in front of Sir Nighteye clutching his arm.
"What happened to your arm?" Mirio asks.
"The leader of the League of Villains has a mean quirk," Izuku says.
"She was here?" Sir Nighteye asks.
"On a rooftop about five miles away, I managed to kill the Nomu before it went back into the portal, but she grabbed my arm before she disappeared," Izuku says.
"Recovery Girl, get over here, please," Sir Nighteye calls out.
Recovery Girl rushes over and gives Izuku a kiss which mends most of the damage but causes Izuku to start feeling fatigued.
"Are you feeling better, Izuku?" Sir Nighteye asks.
"If I drink a coffee or two, then yes," Izuku says as he looks around and says in mock surprise. "What the heck happened here."
"4 Nomu plus the League of Villains' newest member, Deku," Endeavor says as he, Mirko, and Shote walk over. "The Nomu managed to kill 30 heroes with a self-destruct feature, and Deku shredded through Rock Lock, Native, and Centipeder while incapacitating Kamui Woods."
"He set him on fire and burned off most of his wood before Shote was able to put him out," Mirko says. "Though it was very impressive taking out a Nomu with seemingly only a few scratches."
"Mostly about trying to hit them without them dodging," Izuku shrugs.
"Ours didn't dodge," Mirko says. "Maybe yours was weaker."
Izuku pulls out his sword, slices toward the sky, splits a cloud about 2 miles above them in two with air pressure, and then looks at Mirko.
"Never mind," Mirko says, looking at the sky.
"I wonder what quirk Deku has," Endeavor mutters as the group walks away. "Whatever it is, it must be powerful to be able to take us all on simultaneously and come out victorious."
"I'm afraid that we will likely have to cancel the rest of the internships," Sir Nighteye says to Izuku and Shote. "The fact that over 30 heroes just got massacred on live TV and it was just revealed very publicly what happened to Mind Touch makes it near impossible to continue the justification of having students in the field."
"I wonder why he didn't kill us," Shote mumbles.
"Hmm," Izuku says.
"Deku, he didn't kill me or Iida. I wonder why," Shote says.
"Certain people have moral compasses that are different than others," Mirko says in an uncharacteristically straightforward tone. "Maybe his limit is killing kids."
"In all fairness, that is most criminal's limit," Izuku says. "There is a reason why pedophiles get murdered the second they go to jail."
"True," Mirko says. "So you should count yourself lucky he considers you kids despite you wearing the hero uniform."
The group enters the hospital and takes Izuku and Shote to tend to their injuries.
"Hey, have you seen this kid," Giran says as he walks up to a fellow dealer.
"What?" the man asks.
"This newsfeed," Giran says.
"Pshh, you know I don't watch that crap," the man says with a scoff.
"I think you'll enjoy this one," Giran says, handing him the phone.
The man takes it and watches it as his eyes widen as he watches the feed.
"So to all you villains hiding out there, from all of us here at the League of Villains. We hope to see you join us for our next performance," Deku finishes in the video before disappearing into the portal.
"You feel it too right," Giran says, causing the man to look at him. "That tingling through your body. All across Japan, every one of us is feeling that tingle too. The monsters and villains that have been hiding for so long finally have a group to rally around. I have a feeling this is going to become very profitable for us."
"Profit is always a good motive," the man says as he raises a glass to Giran. "To profit."
"To profit," Giran says.

Perception: allows the user to sense all of their surroundings and have perfect spatial awareness within a limited range (Now 100 meters/yards)
