With a look of ecstatic joy on his face, Shigaraki Tomura announced, "The League of Villains' operation has begun... Target: U.A. High School!"

Chapter 22 U.A. High School: USJ

The regular curriculum at U.A. High School includes all the necessary subjects for high school students, such as Chinese, mathematics, and physics. As a future hero, one cannot afford to be poorly educated.

In addition, there are hero basic courses, rescue courses, equipment and prop courses... These are the occasions for students who are preparing to become heroes to learn professional knowledge.

All Might usually teaches the basic hero classes, but because the No. 1 hero is usually very busy, even though he has recovered to his best condition, he is currently only teaching first-year students.

Thanks to Principal Nezu's reasonable arrangements, Allmight has been shuttling between the school and the police for quite some time now, and the matter of the "League of Villains" has made this "symbol of peace" very uneasy.

But recently, there has been no news at all about the "United Front" operation, let alone finding the enemy's stronghold. But the calmer it is, the more ominous it seems... I really don't know what that man is planning.

The equipment and props class is taught by Akaya Kaiun to the students of the Hero Course. He is currently the homeroom teacher of the first-year students in the Support Course and usually has to run back and forth between the two Hero Course classes, which is quite tiring... However, this is just normal work for a teacher.

In addition, Akaya Kaiun's teaching methods are highly praised by the students. His interesting yet reasonable teaching makes it easy for students to understand. Moreover, this teacher is much more approachable than the homeroom teacher, which makes the students in Class A complain about why their homeroom teacher is Aizawa Shota instead of this Akaya teacher.

In just a few days since the start of the semester, Akaya Kaion's reputation among the freshmen has gone from friendly to respected. Today is also the day Akaya Kaion is teaching a class of Hero Course A.

"Different equipment and items have different effects. Today, we'll talk about using equipment and items to enhance your 'personality.'"

Standing on the podium, Akaya Kaion was lecturing to the students of Class A. Bakugo Katsuki, who usually had a bad attitude, was now obediently taking notes. After all, he knew that the root cause of his defeat by Midoriya Izuku was this Akaya teacher. He had lost, and there was no room for excuses.

"If that bastard Fei Jiu can do it, so can I! Just you wait..."

While secretly plotting how to get revenge for the humiliation he had suffered, Bakugo Katsumi unusually acted like a good student in class. However, despite his fierce and irritable appearance, it must be said that Bakugo's academic performance was usually excellent.

"Let me give you a simple example. Mineta Minoru, please stand up."

"Hey! Are you calling me?"

Surprised, Grape stood up from his seat. Although there was little difference between his height and size when he was standing and when he was sitting, the fact that this usually unremarkable student was called out by the teacher still surprised Mineta.

"Your Quirk is like the 'super sticky' grape-like ball on your head; touching it forcefully will generate a corresponding rebound force, making it an excellent Quirk that can be useful in various situations."

"Really! Am I that good!?"

The fact that her own "personality" was not very good, yet received such praise from this Akaya teacher, made Iroha very surprised.

"Yes! Because as a professional hero, the primary objective when encountering enemies is usually to make arrests. A 'Quirk' with excessive destructive power can easily lead to death. For details, see the No. 2 hero, 'Endeavor.' Few enemies defeated by him escaped severe burns and hospitalization. That's not a good thing for a hero."

"Mineta-kun, your 'Super Sticky' Quirk allows you to quickly and easily capture enemies, and it's incredibly useful in various situations. It's a Quirk that's perfect for becoming a hero."

With just a few simple words, he made the students in Class A understand the excellence of Iroha's "Quirk," and incidentally, he made Todoroki Shoto develop a slight liking for him. Akaya Kaiun was indeed a good teacher, and it's no wonder that Aizawa Shota praised him so much.

"However, Mineta-kun, you're currently throwing the 'sticky ball' by hand, which lacks accuracy and range when using your 'Quirk.' You can go to the Support Section later or even make a gun to hold the 'sticky ball,' which will make up for your current shortcomings."

"I understand! Thank you, Akaya-sensei!!"

Inspired and motivated, Mineta Minoru couldn't help but dream of becoming a hero in the future. He never expected to be valued so highly. He felt grateful to Akaya-sensei.

"Students who have questions about their 'personality' can ask now."

"Akatani-sensei! What about me—what about me!!"

Because of Akaya Kaiun's words, the most active members of Class A immediately raised their hands and eagerly asked questions, as they also wanted praise and suggestions for improvement.

............

After the class ended, Akaya Kaiyun couldn't help but wipe away imaginary sweat from his brow. He realized that being a teacher was actually this tiring... This person, who was only there part-time, really wanted to quit, but he would have to wait a while longer.

"Teacher Akaya!"

"What's wrong, Izuku?"

Turning around after hearing the shouts, Akaya Kaiun saw Midoriya Izuku chasing after him out of the classroom. He was a little puzzled... Did this kid want something from him?

"Um... Akaya-sensei, is that the thing you mentioned last time about teaching me how to make a knight's belt...?"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Seeing Izuku Midoriya's somewhat awkward expression, Kaiun Akaya wondered a bit. This kid should be really looking forward to it.

"Actually, All Might told me later that the Kamen Rider System is an incredibly powerful invention. The reason the League of Villains targeted it is because it allows even someone like me, who has no Quirks, to have the power to defeat powerful opponents. It's a great invention that can influence an era."

"Please teach me... I'm just an ordinary person who's been lucky enough to get by, why would you teach me something this amazing..."

Unlike All Might's attitude when he asked Izuku Midoriya to inherit the "One For All" Quirk, Izuku Midoriya is very unconfident about learning how to make Kamen Rider belts. Or rather, this boy is now truly growing up.

Learning to take responsibility is very important. Inheriting "one for all" means bearing the heavy responsibility of becoming a "symbol of peace," and learning to create the Kamen Rider system... is probably an even heavier responsibility than inheriting "one for all."

Lacking confidence! Izuku Midoriya deeply doubted whether he could truly learn to create the Kamen Rider belt. Would he let his teacher, Akaya, down? Could he shoulder the responsibility of mastering this era-changing technology...?

It's good to learn to reflect on the consequences of a series of events, but the lack of self-confidence that Izuku Midoriya has not yet built up does make him afraid and apprehensive. Kaiu Akaya doesn't want to see "himself" cowering like this.

“Izuku…do you know why I taught you the technology to create the Kamen Rider system? Not to Akira or Shinso Hitoshi, but specifically to you.”

"this....."

As Izuku Midoriya hesitated, he saw Kaiu Akaya pointing at him with his right hand and saying seriously:

"Because you are special, only you, Izuku Midoriya, are 'qualified' to master this technology."

"Your courage in standing up during the 'Sludge Incident' demonstrated the qualities of a hero; and it was only after getting to know you that I discovered your 'talent,' which is why I chose to entrust this task to you."

"This powerful force must be given to righteous heroes!"

A surge of passion welled up within him. At this moment, Izuku Midoriya no longer hesitated or feared; he knew the responsibility he had to bear.

"I understand! I will definitely live up to your expectations, Akaya-sensei!!"

He fooled "himself" with just a few words. Was he too easily fooled, dreaming of becoming a hero? Akaya Kaiun found it somewhat amusing, but that was the best way... It was necessary for Midoriya Izuku to master the "power".

------------

Today was an outdoor training session for Class A of the Hero Course. Although it was called an outdoor session... it was actually still within the grounds of U.A. High School. Given that the school grounds were so large that students had to take the school bus to get to other areas, one could only marvel at how incredibly rich U.A. High School is!

USJ, short for "Virtual Disaster Field," is a special teaching facility run by U.A. High School's famous "Space Hero" Number Thirteen. Here, students in the Hero Course learn how to rescue others in various disasters. As a qualified hero, you can't do without learning how to save people.

As the students of Class A, who were taking the bus to USJ, heard Izuku Midoriya muttering things that she couldn't understand at all, and she became curious and asked him about it.

"Midori-kun~ Quack, what have you been muttering about since earlier?"

"Ah... I'm sorry, I'm sorry to have bothered you."

"It's okay~ Quack, I was just a little curious?"

"This... is something new that Akaya-sensei taught me. Because it's quite difficult to understand, I've been thinking about how to do it."

"Croak..."

As expected, she still couldn't understand or comprehend Asabu Tsuyu's explanation, so she decided to change the subject. The girl, who looked somewhat like a frog, pointed at Midoriya's clothes and asked again:

"Midori-kun, don't you have a battle suit? I saw you wearing U.A.'s tracksuit last time."

"This..." Izuku Midoriya touched his clothes; he was still wearing his U.A. high school tracksuit today. He explained:

"Because my main fighting method is transforming into 'Kamen Rider Faiz,' any clothes or decorations will be covered up, so I didn't prepare a battle suit."

"So it means... 'Kamen Rider Faiz' is like your battle suit, Midoriya-kun, right?"

"Yes! You could say that. We owe it all to Akaya-sensei."

"Midori-kun, you really like Akaya-sensei, don't you?"

"Of course! In my mind, Akaya-sensei is about the same as All Might!!"

Izuku Midoriya genuinely admires Kaion Akaya. In the mind of this unsuspecting boy, Kaion Akaya is already on the same level as All Might. But there's nothing that can be done about it... Kaion Akaya has indeed done a lot during this time, so it's understandable that he holds such a position in Midoriya's eyes.

While chatting with Asui Tsuyu, Midoriya Izuku's school bus soon arrived at its destination, the USJ "Hypothetical Disaster Accident Site" which was under the jurisdiction of "Space Hero" Number Thirteen.

This USJ covers a huge area and is divided into six training grounds: "Storm Ground", "Water Ground", "Fire Ground", "Mountain Ground", "Sand Ground" and "Collapse Ground". Here you can experience all kinds of disasters.

Many of the students in Class A who entered USJ exclaimed in amazement. Standing in front of them was a person wearing a spacesuit. This was "Space Hero" Number Thirteen, whose Quirk was "Black Hole." Despite having a Quirk full of immense destructive power, this teacher used it to deal with various disasters. He was truly an admirable hero.

"Hello students! I am number thirteen, the teacher in charge of teaching you emergency response strategies for various disaster situations."

"Of course, there's me too! All-Mighty!! Loo~~"

All Might suddenly appeared in front of the students of Class A from behind, making his rather exaggerated and striking entrance. However, All Might was wearing a suit today instead of his signature battle suit, and his bulging muscles made the suit bulge out.

"Is Allmight here today too!?"

"Of course! As a teacher, I want to witness firsthand how my lovely students handle and cope with all kinds of disasters."

Because there is no time limit in Hero Form after his body is healed, All Might can maintain his No. 1 Hero form indefinitely. Since All Might doesn't have much to do today, he comes to teach Android 13. After all, this rookie teacher still has a lot to learn from the better teachers.

"This is so troublesome... Can you please be quiet, new teacher?"

"I'm sorry... I was too arrogant just now!"

Showing no respect to All Might, Aizawa Shota turned away with disgust as he watched the No. 1 hero bowing his head in apology. This Class A homeroom teacher must have come along too, but Aizawa's serious and earnest personality always clashed with All Might's.

"How shameful, All Might! Bowing down to someone nobody. When are you going to apologize to me?"

"who!?"

Upon hearing an unfamiliar male voice, Aizawa Shota instantly turned his gaze to the center of the UJS arena, where a man in a suit wearing an industrial mask appeared.

"Afo...you bastard, what do you want to do?!"

Without a doubt, All Might recognized who this person was. This was U.A. High School, and there were students from Class A behind him. All Might, who dared not make a move... Did the appearance of this man represent an operation by the League of Villains?

"This is really troublesome... Even if my head has been healed, will I still need a long time to adjust after not seeing sunlight for so long?"

Without answering All Might's question, AFO continued talking to himself, but at this moment, the aura brought by this terrifying man was incredibly frightening. The students of Class A, who were inexperienced in the ways of the world, didn't even dare to breathe.

"Oh no! Akaya-sensei!!"

In a moment of realization, having experienced it firsthand six months ago, Izuku Midoriya immediately understood what the League of Villains wanted to do. The only thing that could make this enemy organization infiltrate U.A. High School was the person who created the Rider Belt system, Kaiu Akaya.

"It has to be said that he is indeed a boy whom Allmight values ​​highly; he is much smarter than Allmight himself."

"Afo, you bastard!!"

It wasn't that he was angry that the man was mocking him. After hearing Izuku Midoriya's reminder, All Might understood the League of Villains' purpose and was immediately filled with immense anger as the No. 1 hero.

"Want to rush back? But you should know very well what my presence here means, All Might!"

"All Might, I'll cooperate with you to subdue the enemy."

Although he didn't know the specifics, Aizawa Shota clearly knew that the man in front of him was not someone to be trifled with. Just as he was about to help All Might take action, the No. 1 Hero reached out to stop him.

"No... Take the children and leave here immediately. Number 13 should also evacuate."

"Wait... My Quirk is 'Elimination,' which should be able to help you."

"No, that won't work..."

All Might's face was extremely pale. He had tried various methods when he fought AFO a long time ago. Aizawa Shota's "Elimination" Quirk might be able to subdue many people, but this man in front of him was not one of them.

"This man... he possesses more than one personality, dozens... no, perhaps hundreds now..."

"What!?"

When All Might uttered those words, everyone present stared at AFO with utter terror. Was this enemy... a monster?!

"I'll stay here to deal with him. You all go back to the teaching building right away, hurry!"

"A wise choice. If you're planning to go back, Allmight, I can't guarantee how many people will survive."

Afo's seemingly joking words were incredibly terrifying to the students of Class A; this enemy was not joking.

Chapter 23 U.A. High School: The League of Villains

Regardless of the current situation, we must obey All Might's orders. The terrifying aura that man exuded when he appeared was enough to make even the No. 1 hero show such an ugly expression. Everyone knows that this enemy, whom All Might calls "AFO," is very powerful.

After realizing he couldn't be of much help, Aizawa Shota nodded and gestured to the Class A students behind him. They shouldn't cause All Might trouble in this situation and should leave as soon as possible to inform the other heroes.

"All Might..."

Having experienced it firsthand six months ago, Izuku Midoriya also learned some things about All For One. Under these circumstances, Midoriya was very worried about whether All Might was in danger, but he couldn't help him at all.

"Midori-kun... hurry to Akaya-sensei's place, I'm very worried..."

"I understand... I'll be there right away!"

All Might must stay here to stop AFO. If this man is allowed to act recklessly, many people will die. He cannot let these children be in danger. Right now, All Might has complete faith in Izuku Midoriya... This boy knows what to do.

Without any hesitation, the students of Class A, led by their two teachers, evacuated from USJ. Afo merely witnessed the entire process without intervening or stopping them; his only task was to leave All Might there.

Seeing the students of Class A leave with Aizawa Shota and Android 13, All Might finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, the No. 1 hero glared angrily at the man before him and roared:

"All for one!!"
