Well, the tournament hasn’t even started yet, and there are already problems.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYJzWOEvaM
Shinso’s team wanted to back out due to them not remembering anything during the human cavalry match. All due to Shinso’s quirk, apparently. One of them was Tetsutesu, who was about to start a fight with Shinso right there.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPcynXtRzL
It was only thanks to Kendo from class B convincing him to stay in the tournament to pay back Shinso properly that things settled down.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYX6UQbDW4
The whole ordeal actually got Midnight’s loving approval. The integrity and youthful energy were enough for her to approve the withdrawals. Especially since the number was an even 22. Everything was ready to continue.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOWU696ter
That was until someone else tried to pull out, a person who surprised everyone.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIzHy7bmWG
Shiho: “I would also like to withdraw from the tournament.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWHM7hkWcM
Midnight: “Oh, and what’s your reason?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMqoTN65C4
Shiho: “My quirk is not really suited to combat. I don’t see a point. But I could do it if I were given a gun or something. I’m pretty good with those.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8xYhZVKlu
Everyone: “A gun!?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA1wMTkCAC
Kirishima: “What is she trying to do, kill us?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MPezpvQhr
Mina: “To be fair, this whole festival has been trying to do that.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevscI4rU45
Kaoru: “Come on, Shiho, how about just a sword or something? A gun is… a bit far.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKO7wNJGuT
Shiho: “I suppose. And think Ms.Creation over there could create one for me. That would be nice.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejpkSto22e
Shiho and everyone else look towards Momo, who was still deep in thought.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzrNPk23Mt
Momo: “H-Huh?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjvW8CcgUp
Shiho: “I said, could you create a sword for me? That way I can participate in the tournament, and we can have an even number.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UcvontFHN
Even though Momo was stuck in her mind for a bit, it didn’t take her long to realize what was happening. She couldn’t really say no; otherwise there would be an awkward odd number.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnXzoF6cZp
But if Shiho can have what is essentially a support item, then so could everyone else. Besides, she knows Mei will use hers.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv9oXDbcK9
Momo: “Of course. If it also means I can create some things for Kyoka as well.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAAHmZYi2N
Jiro: “H-huh? Y-You don’t have to do that.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAIatlSolV
Momo: “It’s fine, I want to. You shine the best when you have your own specialized equipment.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLoozEijic
Jiro: “T-Thanks, Momo.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFRncDCZbH
Shiho smiles at the pair before turning back to Midnight.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4Y01C5VAM
Shiho: “So, would that be fine, Midnight?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9FwG6GNNT
Midnight: “Such heartwarming friendship! Of course, I approve! It will also allow us to keep an even number, so that’s a plus.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaM8ZGn3Oe
With permission granted, Momo created a katana for Shiho. It wasn’t as sharp as it could be but it will still do damage if the opponent is not careful.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NXBUGotVJ
When Momo handed it to Shiho, the young esper’s eyes flashed a light blue.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36nJQcveHo
Shiho: “Thank you, I’ll be sure to put this to good use.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo9LJQd1UJ
Momo notices nothing and simply nods before walking towards Jiro. She creates something else Izuku and she have been theorizing about.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgWl0THptt
Momo: “Here, Kyoka, Midoriya and I came up with this during our training. Inspired by some old comics, it should help focus your quirk. Like the boots in your hero costume, but not as powerful.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxpTeBHFex
Jiro is handed what seems like a wrist-mounted blaster with a hole for her earphone jacks.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLgIKxpvfU
Jiro: “Heh, Sannomiya is the one who asked for a gun, and yet I’m the one getting it. Still, thanks, Momo.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9fuzlpxNg
Momo: “I know you’ll do great.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPjH364rs7
They smile and nod at each other before returning back to the front.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM12BsKpWlw
Midnight: “All right, now that everything is in order, it is time to determine who fights whom through lottery. Once the match ups are decided, the fighters prepare for five to ten minutes while everyone else can view the battle in the reserved stands.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB3fUL5jNk
With the plan set, everyone picked a number randomly from the box in Midnight’s hands. After 10 minutes, the match ups for the first round were decided.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q05ChR1qB
Midoriya vs Shinso
Todoroki vs Sero
Tae vs Nogami
Ibara vs Denki
Ida vs Hatsume
Ashido vs Jiro
Kirishima vs Tetsutetsu
Bakugo vs Uraraka
Kanto vs Honenuki
Akashi vs Tokoyami
Yaoyorozu vs Sannomiya
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSl0NKlxb7
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoolHkwogDG
The reactions were varied.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1KmO4eaNq
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYjcy1v5cM
Momo looked at Shiho, who smiled back at her. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to give her that sword.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WEB6Dxuqx
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiBQdtQPkO
Next was Bakugo, who seemed confused at who he was going to fight.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLOQ8SYX1W
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS165OEwFl
Bakugo: “Uraraka?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BXwrzKx1S
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknxsEsxEod
Uraraka: “EEEEK!”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WikpayA0A
Mei, seeing another opportunity to advertise her babies, approached her opponent.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9AX2foWQV
Mei: “Are you Ida?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xvQjb833o
Ida: “Hm? I am.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlolROCVrCJ
Mei: “Scooooore!! I’m happy, since actually… ”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wGP2W5QYM
Then there is the young esper, Izuku Midoriya. His eyes narrow at where he is placed in the tournament.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTeWALxTS6
Izuku: ‘I’ll face Todoroki in round 2, and if I win… I’ll have to fight Kiri.’
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64q0404vy6
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtPfLdxG2Y
He shakes his head, banishing any worrying thoughts.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD4hmHYsEL
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I42YOejbM
Izuku: ‘I shouldn’t worry about that now! It won’t matter if I lose here! My opponent is thatShinso guy. I have to prep-’
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgicBZwQwm
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql0ViH22iT
Shinso: “It’s you, correct? Midoriya Izuku?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHSp8BXygu
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GXWIoKxr5
Izuku: “Huh!? Oh, yeah, that’s me.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAIzw5rjfA
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBDSiLDjVH
Shinso: “Mmm, good luck. You’ll need it.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFT5ORjf1i
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd3sXfTXma
As Shinso walks away, Izuku feels something, but he can’t really put his finger on it. Tetsutesu saw the exchange and clicked his tongue in annoyance before joining everyone else.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94Nh6fuWsY
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThJZK9gICd
Finally, there was Kiri. She had no doubt her brother would win his matches. She’ll probably win as well. That means they’ll have to fight against each other.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzENMwWjSuO
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcVUaUucZ3
She breathes out and accepts this fact. She doesn’t want to fight him, but she won’t hold back.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPdSFJgvjk
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqie2qLMsf
Kiri: ‘It wouldn’t be fair to him. He deserves my best, especially if I want him to give me his.’
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzdCsmoIER
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7pkGqgapq

161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCwis6i1gf
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwCLAyok0A
Izuku takes a breath and steps out into the arena.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C6hkRNnOE
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN3Ym9loYb
Izuku: ‘I can’t lose here. All Might and my family are expecting great things from me. I won’t let them down!’
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMhJ4y5SgW
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZjDWEi89L
He walks up to stand in front of Shinso, who rubs his neck in boredom.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe87EOiHsl
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetqWvlMd4g
Present Mic: “MATCH ONE! The vice president of class 1-A, the department of heroics, Izuku Midoriya!! VERSUS!! Sorry, you haven’t done anything really notable or eye-catching yet! Department of general education, Hitoshi Shinso!”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBAYc5Dakw
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYyKBzCwbQ

161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj7hAXfzm6
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgGDbBJFI5
Present Mic: “Feel free to wound!! We have our recovery girl waiting in the wings!! But don’t go too far, nothing potentially lethal, or you’re out! If it goes too far; our Cementoss or the famous Tornado will step in. And trust me, you don’t want that happening!”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2fjnjh8eG
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvGW5Hg68U
Shinso: “You get it, don’t you, Izuku Midoriya? This is a battle to test your heart. If you have a strong vision for your future, then you can’t worry over how you realize it.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXuvoJlSoD
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLT0fMjuDZ
For some reason, those words… resonate with Izuku. He has a strong vision for his future. But he does worry about how he’ll realize it.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yvpjdWC7Z

161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQVJBzmS0G
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp02s3lHt9

161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqfk5hUoSf
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlUwxq9k90
Izuku’s eyes flash green, his power ready to push Shinso clean off the stage. But Shinso doesn’t look worried; instead he softly laughs.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyhsBC4lG6
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAIpu9acaa

Something was wrong. As soon as his mind touched Midoriya’s, Shinso was taken elsewhere.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGandYzRbxt
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb9lrFdXmk
It looked like a large, empty street. It’s night, or at least very dark. The white streetlights were the only source of light. Seems normal, but he knew better. He can feel it in the distance.

There are several buildings, large and ominous, shrouded by pitch black. They’re only visible at their peaks; the bases of each stretched infinitely down into the void.

Something was watching him.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg2FjMaxHm
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3XZ61KBua
His skin bristles as the intense sense of foreboding consumes him. They were hidden in those depths, small specks of pale light that looked like eyes. But that’s not what sends him running in the other direction, desperate for an exit.

Shinso stops, his body not his own, and turns around to bow his head in deference. The only saving grace was that he no longer had to see the creature.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R9RGrTG21
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UTkNgt90I
But that small mercy is swallowed when he feels several tendrils bite into his body with their teeth. His screams of pain are swallowed by the shadows.

What he could hear was something slithering through his skin and veins. Something foreign was invading his mind, body, and soul.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n7hoYLs6Y
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH28qVOnGrZ
That something, when it fully took over, started to melt his body. Cell by cell, it was breaking him down to nothing. When everything is said and done, Shinso will join the prince under the green sun.

Only a second passed. In that second, Izuku lost consciousness, and Shinso’s mind and soul were taken. It wasn’t Izuku’s fault; Shinso shouldn’t have entered the boy’s mind without permission.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsHKWkczS8

But Izuku wouldn’t see it that way, not when the first thing he hears is the bloodcurdling screams.

Not when he can feel a growing shift within his mind.

Kaoru: “gah.”

The three friends laugh, trying to lighten the atmosphere. But it didn’t affect Sabrina much. She was still focused on the future.

Recovery Girl was taking care of Shinso in her office, and the results were… unbelievable. Right now, Aizawa and Vlad were there as well, hoping for some answers when Shinso wakes up. But all they got were more questions.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99F2GEqBo0
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtH3UUToho
Vlad: “What do you mean he’s in more than perfect health?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhCxmp4Imz
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUdMQ2cikM
Recovery Girl: “I mean, his body is in a better condition than before he stepped foot on that stage. Even now, his body is being optimized by… something. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYAqdYQHrI
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc0tXLKmSh
Vlad: “What kind of quirk could do this? Neither Shinso nor Midoriya has a quirk that can do it.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrWxGIjn0n
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJll2EY0Flu
Aizawa: “Midoriya’s quirk is versatile, but this… is different.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZNhmAGeWU
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFlttKJnt6
Vlad: “With Tornado here, not to mention the Blizzard group, a villain couldn’t have done this.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5txjla4qAQ
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa35nwDWc6
Aizawa: “So, we have no idea what happened.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40RomkE7uF
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQMqcYIHBl
Recovery Girl: “No, and I have no idea why the boy isn’t awake. Maybe the process needs to finish.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeFPfazKDv
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm44ielqiw5
Vlad: “And what then? What is he becoming?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VEdNxj4IK

Back in the villain's base, Apotheosis nearly broke his pen when he saw what happened. He was taking notes on everyone in the festival; it was a goldmine of data.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPVXH0ZQP5
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLSgDsPCDQ
In particular, he found Mei Hatsume and her inventions to be interesting. That was a mind worth molding.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLnE18ex6p
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncO6Pe2E3U
But of course, it was his half-brother that took the real spotlight. And he did it by revealing his ability to mind-fuck his opponent. He still suffers nightmares from when Fubuki pulled that crap.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V48XCiPIe
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVAWMevwUZ
Apotheosis: “Of course he can do that.”

Azrael: “How comes the psychic disruptor?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pZlSf7cAT
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6E2HGbxrB
Apotheosis: “… Along. Don’t rush perfection.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWrRJe8paE
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rQw77DvWI
Tomura: “We don’t need perfection, strategist! We just need it to be able to take a hit.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv3dey7F77
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbbBBnMQNp
Azrael: “Or be portable.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wcMKvTxVq

As he fantasizes about the future, the communication TV turns on. The villains expected it to be All For One, but instead it was only silence.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcQnRhTIom

Tomura: “What? Is it broken?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDyHew2c2e

Azrael: “Unlikely, unless… ”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRJOmyqtHq
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpbvJFAqz8
Apotheosis: “Don’t look at me. I never touched it.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcdNQVjm1V
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUAMvjPT3O
Just then, a voice came through. It sounded like someone on the verge of a panic attack.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIKDeKh6MO
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFKGScwk1L
???: “You must kill that boy.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE5i04IfkN
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQSaB6xn0j
After a moment, they recognized the voice. Even Kurogiri stopped to look at the screen with confusion.

Azrael: “Gyoro Gyoro? What is wrong?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUNbIVoYri

Gyoro: “You must kill that boy.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogvXdNFi5D
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYSLdjbB8j
Apotheosis: “Yes, we know. It is on the to-do list.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdIkExS5D0
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsJMv3MXUn
Gyoro: “No, it will be your top priority from now on.”

Tomura narrows his eyes at the TV and lets out a low growl.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnucs4DGxo8
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks3emo7rkh
Tomura: “You are not sensei. You don’t get to order us around.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYUEjwUoTY

Gyoro: “Fool! This is more important than… ”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6713HXI9I
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GxBrnHtX4
The quirk beast took a breath before continuing.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJon3JZs4o
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PI9OcpOjF
Gyoro: “Forgive me, I will inform All For One about this soon. I just didn’t think it was… true.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBWB91jn4R
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5Fz9mgDnt
Apotheosis: “What?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ998uxHJIBl
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPXoV6wsFv
Gyoro: “One of my… creations had the ability to see the future.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal7tOjXSMx
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxkGhKrrFd
Apotheosis: “Bull.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpAX3V5U3l
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX23Jefvoj
Gyoro: “Believe what you will. But those visions nearly drove her mad. And almost every single one of them revolved around… that boy.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsxvHdnrj3
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtDPet34r8
Tomura: “Him? That kid?!”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGqrslGlu8
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzkD1lvu76
Gyoro: “Like you all, he is only a caterpillar. But when he becomes a butterfly, he’ll be the death of us all. The Prince of The Green Sun and his twelve apostles, making this world his footstool.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz4Yx5B6lN
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P2dUVXBP4
Apotheosis: “That’s some… biblical stuff.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnzJOqKNoW
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hXtoeIEwy
Kurogiri: “Are you sure about this?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKGKPUNM3d
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZeTRoh0I3
Gyoro: “Yes. That’s why he must die. Make sure to kill the child he fought as well. To be safe.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGGCz8Ttnr
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutkmDXjn23
Apotheosis: “Well, well, well, in this context, aren’t we the good guys?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3ns1AxkXP
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjiA9hBO2b
Apotheosis scoffs at the notion of seeing the future. The future is not set; no one can see it. Not concretely or that far, like what Gyoro is suggesting.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrUNlHxmwg
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK76ZnTds3
But one of them does take this seriously.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQzur4VyTT
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLXkqYDMwI
Azrael: “I’ll do it.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmZNd1Axri
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVni56FY9P
They all look at the very serious looking Azrael.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicKuto7pGg
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qOglN4o8n
Apotheosis: “What? You know he’s mine. It should be me who kills him.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jZuNPJ1LQ
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrawmUa1Dvu
Azrael: “If Gyoro is right, this is too important to mess up. Perfect the psychic disruptor, then I’ll go and kill him. Do I have your permission, Tomura?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXrSY0C5f5
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmdU9KzVbD
Tomura: “… Do what you want. I don’t believe Gyoro, but this will mean we will have one less annoying hero to worry about.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu5M1YEds4
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDhbHzNn3U
Apotheosis: “Seriously! Just because some quirk beast freak spouts some nonsense, you’ll take my vengeance!?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjumquYGxb
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlCIeH61Gt
Azrael: “You’ll still get to do what you want with Blizzard and Tornado. Leave the boy to me, Theo. Trust me.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z5GyZfyAK
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmsEnZ740C
The two have a stare-down, one Apotheosis is losing. Even now, he can’t really argue with Azrael. Not when he seems so hellbent on it.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPT7CndBkx
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yLCi5isyl
Apotheosis: “You better make him suffer and deliver his broken body to Tatsumaki.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4rNWcK7rg
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlren4h6D6
Azrael: “Don’t worry, I’ll even record it if possible.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHYiq3WPjf
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UQjkbIl0U
Apotheosis: “Good.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwJViuQ71P
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uue7rBgvB
Gyoro: “So he’ll die?”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkaw29cePt
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA5qEFYqlx
Tomura: “Yeah, he’s as good as gone.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnFua0pVxs
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6hYBII24S
Gyoro: “… Good. I… my creation can rest easy. I’m sorry for using up your time.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nuhfZANbO
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbzXpxWiOH
The TV turns off as Gyoro cuts the connection. The room is left in silence as plans are made. Azrael takes a breath and thinks on the future.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWjOEAYWc5
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkshEUEcqU
