Striving to prevent his thoughts from being overwhelmed by fear, Izuku Midoriya connected all the previous events, including the fact that the Japanese government had sent people to remove all the documents from Akaya-sensei's office.
Although it was just his own speculation, Izuku Midoriya suspected that his teacher, Kaion Akaya, might be involved in secret research with the Japanese government that he couldn't let others know. There was a lot of information in the office laboratory at the time, but all Izuku Midoriya needed to know was the design blueprints for FAIZ.
There wasn't much time to read through all the documents in the office lab, but Izuku Midoriya connected the dots with his intuition, relating them to what he had recently learned from All Might.
The Spider Monster's real name is Tarantula Sango. This enemy with the Quirk "Tarantula" has a file on file with the police. According to the investigation, it was found that this person's appearance has changed a lot from the original, and his strength is also vastly different. After the police took over the body of the enemy who was killed by AFO, the forensic doctor took it for autopsy and found that the enemy's body structure had undergone unknown mutations, which can be said to have exceeded the limits of "Quirk".
The police were completely baffled by the situation. After telling All Might about it, Izuku Midoriya and Mirio Togata relayed information about "Hero Killer" Stain to the higher-ups, and learned about the problem from the No. 1 Hero.
Both Stain and the "Hero Killer" had undergone physical transformations, but this "Hero Killer" lacked the ability to manipulate the degree of his own blood. By comparing these two examples, the heroes learned that the League of Villains possessed unknown means of enhancing others.
Let's make another bold assumption: the pale blue potion that cured All Might's old injury might also have come from the same technology. After all, if there were a way to cure the No. 1 hero, All Might wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble.
The League of Villains possesses extraordinary black technology, and so far, Izuku Midoriya has only experienced and learned about black technology far beyond modern science from his teacher, Kaiu Akaya. There may be a great deal of connection between them.
Without conclusive evidence, Midoriya Izuku could only speculate so much. If the leader of the League of Villains was a high-ranking figure, his concealment of his identity was for a great purpose, and emptying Akaya Kaiun's office was also to completely destroy the evidence.
Despite all his speculations and conjectures, Izuku Midoriya never doubted whether his teacher, Kaiu Akaya, was problematic. In his view, his teacher was at most someone who was being used, since the long period of time they spent together was enough to blind Midoriya with fond memories.
After telling All Might the general situation, Izuku Midoriya didn't have time to rest. He needed to hurry up and complete Faiz's "Burst Form" to prepare for any possible battles that might come.
--------------
The League of Villains, behind the scenes, has been pushing the "Quirk is useless" propaganda to the public. For most onlookers, this is not a big deal, after all, five generations and 100 years have passed since Quirks appeared, and abnormalities have long been commonplace.
However, life is full of disappointments. In this heroic society, most of the unpleasant things we encounter are related to "personality". When people have grievances, they will naturally be used as a target by those with ulterior motives and directed at the professional heroes who have been in the limelight.
"While I also admire these professional heroes who dedicate themselves to society, they are just an unnecessary burden to the world."
In the League of Villains' bar, Akaya Kaiun routinely instilled his thoughts and ideas into Shigaraki Tomura, since it would take some time to transform this person into a useful tool.
"To give an example and analogy, if we compare these professional heroes to the soldiers of a country, but nearly half of a country's population wants to serve in the military, do you think that country can afford to support so many 'soldiers'?"
"Can't I?"
Hearing Shigaraki Tomura's somewhat strange question, Akaya Kaiun felt a bit of a headache, so he explained again in detail:
"In times of emergency, a nation can mobilize all its troops for war and still support enough soldiers to sustain half its population. However, in peacetime, an excessive number of soldiers will only hinder social productivity and development."
The emergence of too many professional heroes and the social chaos caused by the appearance of "Quirks" over the past 100 years have prompted people with a sense of justice to rise up in battle because they did not want to see this situation. These people are the purest heroes.
However, after All Might defeated All For One, the security of Japanese society gradually shifted towards peace, and heroes became a profession that was uniformly planned and managed by the government, much like free and unrestrained civil servants.
They can earn a lot of money and be in the limelight, becoming like celebrities in the new era. This is the job of professional heroes in a heroic society, admired by everyone.
Just like the original ideals advocated by "hero killer" Stein, heroism is a pure title that only people with corresponding qualities can bear. However, many heroes today are people who prioritize money and fame. Although they are doing their heroic work and doing good deeds, their overabundance has disrupted the balance.
The situation with the "Shie Hassaikai" is just as Chisaki detested: nowadays, all the young people in society are running off to become heroes, who would want to join the yakuza and be someone else's lackey? This is also a major factor in the demise of yakuza organizations.
In reality, the demise of these criminal organizations has nothing to do with social stability. Akaya Kaiun even wished for the complete eradication of all criminal forces, but the excessive popularity of professional heroes has led to many problems.
Nowadays, there are very few people involved in organized crime. Do you really expect young people to be willing to work in ordinary, basic industries?
In the end, society today is just like the students in Class A of Heroes. From the very beginning, students and children dream of becoming heroes. Even if they can't become heroes, they still want to find jobs that are close to hero work, such as working at a hero agency, supporting the production and manufacturing of equipment, hero merchandise and movies, etc. The whole society and the world revolve around the word "hero".
A completely distorted social structure, where production and development are entirely misdirected, and where science and technology that should be exploring space and the universe stagnate due to the birth of "individuality," will one day lead to its ultimate destruction.
"In short, there are too many heroes. This is a disease that needs to be cured!"
"I see...."
He said it was no problem, but Shigaraki Tomura still couldn't understand the meaning of Akaya Kaiun's words. However, the leader of the League of Villains naturally had his own methods and intentions. In any case, for now, he should just follow the pro heroes and fight them.
"Alright, it's about time to move on to the next step. If we want to completely destroy this heroic society, we need the people's hearts to be on our side."
“Diao, go and gain people’s trust.”
"Yes, sir!"
Under the orders of Akaya Kaiun, Shigaraki Tomura acted, just as the proverb says:
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."
The existence of nations, societies, and professional heroes is actually based on the people who make up all of this. When people deny and reject heroes, this heroic society falls apart.
Of course, with the existence of All Might, the "Symbol of Peace," it is basically impossible for the League of Villains to achieve this. Although some people have expressed dissatisfaction with professional heroes online and in real life, everyone still trusts and loves heroes very much. Why? Because of that man, the No. 1 strongest hero, All Might.
In today's society, everyone admires All Might. After all, who doesn't like a great hero who has done countless good deeds and whose heroic acts are too numerous to count?
Humanity's worship of heroes and great figures has existed throughout history, and in the modern era, Allmight is such a person, a "symbol of peace" worshipped by the entire nation.
As long as he exists, the hero society will never collapse, and Akaya Kaiun would never consider eliminating All Might; at most, he might plot to trick the No. 1 hero.
So, Shigaraki Tomura came in handy. Let the leader of the League of Villains borrow this secret weapon that AFO had cultivated to deal with All Might.
"Also, I bet Midoriya's 'Burst Mode' is almost fully loaded by now, right? I'm really looking forward to the show."
The malicious Akaya Kaiun tricked two people at once, he couldn't be happier.

Chapter 48 "The League of Villains'" Plans and Operations
How will the League of Villains, an important part of its plan, gain the people's trust by having Shigaraki Tomura, an enemy, do it?
In a society where everyone idolizes heroes, it's a joke for an enemy to gain people's trust. This seemingly impossible plan... is actually quite simple.
The hero society is saturated, literally. The hero society that All Might has been striving for is now nearing the point of saturation and explosion.
"Hero Killer" Stain, if things had gone according to plan, would have encountered Izuku Midoriya and his friends during his hero training, been defeated, and uttered those words that caused turmoil in hero society.
An oversaturated society of heroes, with professional heroes everywhere, and the discontent and contradictions accumulated in people's lives, erupted under the words of "hero killer" Stein. The power contained in mere words is extremely limited; they are merely the spark that ignites social unrest.
While none of this will happen again, an even greater crisis and darkness has descended upon this crumbling society based on a hero system.
Akaya Kaiun's plan is very simple: to have Shigaraki Tomura do the same things he used to do, and establish the dark laws of a hero society.
Enemies can also maintain social peace in their own way. Sometimes, the enemy's cruelty and violence are more oppressive and effective than weak and ineffective laws. Of course, this method has many destabilizing drawbacks, but Akaya Kaiun has other purposes. This is just a necessary step in the plan.
Furthermore, the person chosen to do this must have a tragic past, so that it is easier to gain the sympathy of the masses. Obviously, Shigaraki Tomura is very suitable for this role, and he is the only one who can play the role of the Black Knight this time.
Akaya Kaiun assigned the task, and Shigaraki Tomura diligently carried out the orders of the League of Villains leader, with the assistance of his fellow yakuza members who had joined the organization.
Soon, a video was released, a message of challenge to the heroes and to all the people of Japan, a greeting from the League of Villains.
"My name is Shigaraki Tomura, and I'm a member of the League of Villains. Some of you should recognize me, right?"
The Shigaraki Tomura who appeared in the video did not transform into Kamen Rider Kaixa this time. Instead, he was dressed in his enemy's outfit and had a strange appearance with fourteen hands holding him.
"This is the 'Night Whisper Gathering,' many of you probably know it, right? If not, that's alright, I'll give you an introduction now."
It was an operation ordered by the leader of the League of Villains. In the video, Shigaraki Tomura slowly walked to a man who had been fixed in a high seat by Stain's enhanced "Blood Clotting" quirk. After becoming a monster, the "Hero Killer's" "Blood Clotting" quirk would continue indefinitely unless the person left his vicinity.
The video viewers who knew the inside story, and the heroes who had fought against the enemy organization mentioned by Shigaraki Tomura, were shocked to discover that the man sitting in the high seat with a panicked expression and cold sweat was the leader of the "Nightshade Society".
"This person is the leader of the 'Nightshade Society.' You don't need to know his name, just what he has done."
With a cold and indifferent attitude, Shigaraki Tomura was now reciting his prepared speech like a broken record, as instructed by the BOSS that this was essential for gaining people's trust.
"The 'Nightshade Society,' a notorious underground organization, is involved in large-scale drug trafficking and human smuggling. I've heard that countless people have died at their hands due to their profits; they are truly irredeemable scum."
With a cold expression, Shigaraki Tomura looked at the man in front of him as if he were trash on the roadside, and then raised his right hand into a chop, slicing across the neck of the "Nightshade Society" leader.
It was a look of terror, an unseeing glare in his eyes. This man, bound to his seat by "blood clotting," could only watch helplessly as the venomous snake before him devoured him, just like his henchmen...
His head fell to the ground, but no blood gushed from his neck. The "Collapse" quirk continued to gnaw at the severed wound, a testament to Shigaraki Tomura's efficient, flamboyant, and terrifying method of killing.
Thanks to Akaya Kaiun's guidance, he possesses the extremely destructive "Collapse" quirk. However, Shigaraki Tomura's methods are truly pathetic. The League of Villains boss, unable to bear it any longer, diligently works to improve his subordinates' strength.
The "Honkai" Quirk requires the use of both hands to activate. Akaya Kaiun instructed Shigaraki Tomura to concentrate the ability on the sides of his hands, using them as blades with his hands held upright. Simply using the palms to activate the "Honkai" Quirk results in a large contact area and dispersed power. It is better to concentrate the ability in one place and try to connect more. When you make contact with the opponent, the "Honkai" Quirk will burst out and release a wave that is extraordinary.
Like a laser cutter, Shigaraki Tomura unleashes his "Destruction" Quirk on his hand for a brief one-second burst of power, enough to easily destroy everything in an instant. It's that simple to transform from a goofball into a monster.
The horrific method of killing was intended to intimidate others. Shigaraki Tomura acted on his boss's orders, kicking the severed head aside like a ball before turning his gaze back to the camera recording the entire event.
"From today onwards, the 'League of Villains' will begin purging all illegal organizations. Either join us, or become like the 'Nightshade Society.'"
"Just a friendly warning, don't try to resist, or you'll end up worse off than dead."
This was the first video, and it didn't reveal anything further. With the help of the League of Villains' allies, it quickly went viral on the internet in Japan and around the world. If you were to ask what the hottest news is right now, it would be the League of Villains and Shigaraki Tomura.
The civilians were buzzing with discussion, and the heroes and police were in a state of utter chaos. Basically, the "League of Villains'" operation had exceeded everyone's expectations. It seemed as if the "League of Villains" was declaring war on enemy organizations all over the world... although it did have the resources to do so.
The heroes couldn't stand idly by and watch this happen. After all, it would be too foolish for the Japanese government to just watch a terrifying enemy organization rise up in front of them. At this moment, all the professional heroes in the country, including All Might, were mobilized, and the operation to eliminate the "League of Villains" began.
However, a week has passed and the results are unsatisfactory. The League of Villains' operations are always elusive, and the enemy's headquarters cannot be found. Moreover, due to the existence of the black mist "portal", the pro heroes rushed there after hearing about the situation, only to find nothing.
Even Nighteye's investigative abilities, such as "precognition," were completely ineffective. Fundamentally, they couldn't find a single piece of intelligence about the League of Villains; the mastermind behind it all had shut it all down.
"What the hell is that damned enemy organization up to?!"
"Endeavor, don't get so angry... although I really am."
The No.1 and No.2 heroes, who rarely get together, have been running around a lot lately because of the League of Villains. As a result, apart from the Nomu that stayed behind and wreaked havoc, the valuable League of Villains members have already escaped through the portal. The heroes have a rather helpless feeling of playing cat and mouse.
All Might was particularly helpless about this situation. In the past week, many enemy organizations had been wiped out. The arrival of the heroes and police was just a matter of cleaning up the mess. Many more enemy organizations that feared the League of Villains had probably chosen to pledge allegiance. After all, few of those who went to become enemies had any backbone.
After making an example of someone multiple times, All Might could no longer imagine how many people in Japan had chosen to join the League of Villains. Now, knowing full well that the enemy organization was carrying out a terrible expansion of its power, he was powerless to do anything about it, and a sense of helplessness filled the heart of the "Symbol of Peace".
"All Might, the League of Villains has released a second video!"
"What!?"
Officers No. 1 and No. 2, who were waiting at the police station, heard Officer Takunai's scream and rushed over. The second video released by the League of Villains was unknowingly spread online.
"We meet again. The League of Villains' operations are progressing quite well so far."
"Damn it...it's that kid again!"
Shigaraki Tomura appeared in the video, and Endeavor, who was furious at the sight of him, was also present. If it weren't for that previous video, he wouldn't have been running around aimlessly with All Might. He wondered what tricks those bastards from the League of Villains were up to this time.
"Today, I'm going to tell you a story, a story about why I became an enemy."
Today's plan is to pull off a routine. Although Shigaraki Tomura himself doesn't really like this, he has to comply because it's an order from the "League of Villains" boss.
"When I was a child, like many other children, I liked heroes and admired All Might. But one day, my family suffered an accident. My father and mother were killed by the enemy, and my favorite hero and the All Might I admired did not come to the rescue."
"Of course I don't mean to blame the hero, but from then on, All Might's loud laughter on TV..."
"The words, 'It's all alright now! Why? Because I came!' sounded incredibly jarring to me!"
A sinister smile clearly appeared on his lips. Shigaraki Tomura had never forgotten what happened when he was a child. It wasn't the hero who came to his rescue, but his teacher, All For One, who saved him. And now, the boss had given him the chance to take revenge on the hero and repay all those debts.
"Here I will tell you the goal of the League of Villains: to establish a peaceful society without any crime, because any criminals who appear will be killed by us."
"How about it? Pretty good, right? Hahahaha!"
His expression seemed somewhat crazed, and this was not an act. Shigaraki Tomura genuinely admired his boss and deeply agreed with Akaya Kaiun's plan.
“From that moment on, I realized that so-called heroes and so-called ‘symbols of peace’ are useless, and I am different from those guys who only bring people false peace of mind and hope.”
“I don’t need your worship. As an enemy, I can do what those heroes can’t. I will establish true order and peace.”
"Because from this day forward, all criminals will face only one path: death!"
These extreme words, a joke no different from those of a madman, left All Might and Endeavor completely silent, because this was no joke... The League of Villains, the former AFO that controlled the darkness of Japan, and the unknown BOSS—perhaps the most deadly thing was about to happen.
Since the League of Villains' first video, the turmoil has not subsided. In the second video a week later, after Shigaraki Tomura explained the League of Villains' purpose, the entire hero society was no longer at peace.
Regardless of whether the League of Villains is telling the truth or not, people have begun to seriously question the existence of professional heroes. The controversy surrounding Izuku Midoriya's "Quirklessness" has led to a growing dissatisfaction among many people with heroes.
Just as Shigaraki Tomura said, there are many times when professional heroes cannot get to the scene immediately. There are quite a few people who lose their loved ones due to similar accidents. Although it is impossible to blame the heroes, dissatisfaction and resentment accumulate deep in their hearts.
It wasn't until Shigaraki Tomura's words that this conflict was fully ignited. That's right! That enemy was similar to them. The inaction of professional heroes who couldn't arrive at crucial moments was deeply abhorrent. If that's the case, is there any need for this hero society to exist?
Just as Shigaraki Tomura said, it's like the madman's ravings: as long as there is a society where no one commits crimes, criminals should all die, and this society and the world will surely be peaceful, completely without needing heroes who only enjoy their worship but cannot bring peace.
The brewing situation became increasingly apparent after the League of Villains began its operation, and the storm that would drag the entire hero society into it was approaching.
-----------------
"Boss, you taught the boy to say those things, didn't you? Can you really build a peaceful society without crime?"
Occasionally, Toga Himiko appears to be relatively normal. This JK (high school girl) who recently joined the League of Villains works as a core member and is also a member who knows Akaya Kaigumo's true identity.
Because they watched their own boss completely fool Shigaraki Tomura, even Toga Himeko was surprised that the League of Villains' true objective was not this, since many of the boss's orders were indeed intriguing.
"Civilians must not be harmed, conflicts with professional heroes must not be initiated, and unnecessary casualties are prohibited."
Judging from all the regulations, it seems that everything the leader of the "League of Villains" did was to get his members to act for this plan. After all, there is a saying that "there must be a just cause for action." If innocent civilians are harmed, can it still be called building a peaceful society without any crime?
If the enemy wants to do something legitimate and convince the civilians that they are not doing anything wrong, then they cannot have any blemishes whatsoever; otherwise, they will never be able to nominally defeat those professional heroes.
