I wasn't worried about the retake building, because besides Aizawa, there's another professional hero, the class B class teacher, Sekijiro Kan, and his nickname is King Vlad, meaning king of blood. Based on his nickname, his quirk is blood control, he can freely control his blood, and blood loss is inconsequential to him, unlike a normal person. Sekijiro himself is albino, with a prominent cross-shaped scar on his left cheek, and protruding lower jaw fangs.
On the side, I carried everyone I could find along the way, including Itsuka and Tetsutetsu, who were travelling back to the camp.
Near the main building, there was a skirmish between the Cat team, with the exception of Ragdoll, and two villains.
The first is called Spinner, and his real name is Shuichi Iguchi, his quirk mutation, his body resembling an anthropomorphic iguana, and has all the advantages and disadvantages of lizards. Spinner himself is devoted to Stein's ideals to the bone, and he joined the League to make Chisome's dreams come true, killing Tengu, or me, because I mutilated his idol. Stein himself called me a real hero, but that's a little known fact, and I think Spinner just doesn't care, he's mentally disturbed, because of the constant bullying, because of the unattractive external mutation.
The other...the other...the other, in short the next villain's name is Kenji Hikiishi, he looks like a big pumped up man with a bob haircut, stubble and glasses with a shirt. And he's...she's a woman, ndaa.
Her quirk, gives her partial magnetism, she can magnetically expose anyone and anything within a four metre radius. Notably, gender is also affected by exposure, men are attracted to the south and women to the north, and due to her quirk, Magna is not affected by magnets.
The Cats seem to have managed to deal with the freaks themselves, the one who suffered the most was Pixie-Bob lying unconscious nearby, who had a lot of blood on her temple, but she's still alive.
Really, I forgot that Shigaraki has a living teleporter in his accomplices, the actual tied up tranny and iguana, disappeared in a misty teleporter.
- They disappeared?! - Mandalay's indignation only twisted Spinner into a ram's horn, and literally in an instant, he and the accomplice...accomplice disappeared.
- What the...Ryuko! - Tiger ran to the injured blonde and picked her up in his arms.
- They were teleported by Kurogiri, a League member who can create a mist teleporter. - I appeared at Tiger's side.
- They aren't the only attackers, I telepathically contacted Sterka, he reported that they were attacked by a villain skilled in creating blue flames. - gave information to Mandalay that I already knew.
- At the cliff, me and Kota met a certain villain, he introduced himself as Muscle. - I added my own information as I healed Pixie-Bob's wound.
- Muscle?! Wait, and Kota... he... - the cat in red was scared out of her wits.
- No, I teleported the kid and everyone I found in the woods to Aizawa. - I finished treating Pixie-Bob, after which she wrinkled her nose. - By the way, on the edge of the forest I found Tomoko unconscious and wounded, she was hit by one of Nomu.
- What's wrong with her?! - Tiger was worried, which was a bit comical given his appearance. Mandalay was also worried about her friend, judging by her face.
- It's all right, I fixed her up and moved her to the others.
- It's all wrong, how did they know about this place, even Yuei was silent about it. It smells like a conspiracy.
- Conspiracy. - I finished it for her. - There's no time to think about it, call for help, and I still have things to do, there are still people in the forest.
- A-class headman, we're grateful for saving Kota and Tomoko, but you're still a teenager and we can't let you risk your life. - Mandalay insisted, with Tigre's tacit approval.
- Can you teleport? Maybe fly or run fast? Or maybe you have another way to quickly evacuate injured and frightened students from the danger zone? - I asked, and Mandalay looked away, not knowing what to say, and Tiger coughed awkwardly. - I pushed myself off the ground and flew towards Toga, who had caught up with her allies.
- Toga Himiko, we haven't finished our dialogue. - I landed in front of a group of three people, one of them was Toga.
- Oh, I think he followed me. - she innocently tapped herself on the forehead with the palm of her hand.
- Toga, what have you done?! It's nothing, it could happen to anyone. - said the man to her left, wearing a black and white jumpsuit and mask and red and blue arm bracelets.
This villain's name is Twice, and his quirk is creating clones, notably, a clone can be anyone, and it will also retain the original's habits and quirks. He can't create too many clones, but I think that's a limitation he's put on himself because of his mental breakdown. I think he'll be the most dangerous in the League, as he can literally be an army man.
- Bubaigawara Jin, age thirty-one, suffers from bipolar disorder, a quirk of clone creation. - I gave a verbal assessment of Twice, who twitched when I said his name.
- He knows me! So what's in it for you? - he gave me an ambivalent reaction.
- I saw you at the sports festival, you seem to be very close to the Todoroki family. - Dabi, who had been silent until then, suddenly asked a question.
- Maybe I am, but what's it to you, freak? - I squinted my eyes, because this Dabi reminded me of someone I'd seen before.
- I don't. Oh, yeah, that's right, Shigaraki ordered me to bring you and that girl with the shitty temper...but he didn't specify whether he wanted you dead or alive. - he lit a flame in his hand that grew rapidly in size.
- You talk like you could kill me. If empty threats are all you're capable of, you darned freak, then you're as far from me as the moon is from the Earth. - I grinned, and at that moment, a huge blue fireball flew at me. I did not dodge the ball, and took it on my chest. The fire attack was powerful, clearly more powerful than my past skirmishes with fire freaks, but even so, for me, it was insignificant...but Muscle's blood on me evaporated.
- Alive. - Dabi said, seeing that I wasn't burned or moved.
- You're strong, I admit. Your flames are even more powerful than the Prospector's. - I said, but Dabi wasn't pleased by my praise, especially when he grimaced when I spoke of Todoroki Sr.
- God sweetie, you were so handsome when you were covered in blood...let me make you handsome again? - rushed towards me with a knife in her hand and the face of a true maniac.
- I refrain from such a dubious favour. - I answered, at the same moment that Toga rushed at me, and tried to stab me with the knife, but as soon as the blade touched my skin, it broke off.
- My favourite knife, whimper, whimper. - cried Toga, holding the remaining hilt in her hand.
- I'll deal with you later. - unexpectedly for the blonde, I grabbed her hand, sending her to my domain.
- Where's Toga gone?! Fuck her! - Twice exclaimed, pulling a measuring tape out of his bracelet, as if he were going to use it as a weapon.
- You've got an interesting quirk Jin, I think it's worth investigating. - In an instant, I moved in front of him, and slapped him on the head.
- That feels good! Nice! - He screamed, though it should have hurt him, the bipolar. Catching the screaming Twice by the shoulder, I carried him into the domain.
- I don't need you...no offence, but there are more than enough fire Quirks in the world. - I looked threateningly at Dabi, and immediately grabbed him by the neck, only he was smiling for some reason. - Why are you smiling? - You grabbed the wrong one...' he said...suddenly collapsing in my hands, turning to dirt. Twyce's quirk, creates clones just out of this mud sludge, according to the drone footage Aizawa was attacked by a mud clone of Dabi, but Sotrigolova destroyed him, there was also another clone that attacked Blood King, only this clone escaped. Ideally, after I threw Twice into the domain, the clones should have disappeared, which is what happened to the clone in my hands...but the drone footage showed the escaped Dabi hadn't disintegrated into dirt, which meant he was real...and now not far from Katsuki.
I was about to move towards him when I suddenly noticed someone in the bushes...a single rat.
- You bastard! - I pulled Aoyama out of the bushes...stinging with fear, and next to him lay, Jiro and Hagakure unconscious, poisoned by Mustard's gas. - I spent so much time trying to figure out who it was, and the answer was right at the next desk!
- W-what are you Mizuiro? - Aoyama was scared out of his wits, his whole body shaking.
- Don't play dumb, you fucking rat. - I shook him. - Did you have fun selling out to the League? Betraying your classmates?
The thing is, three days ago, just before everyone got on the buses, I decided to be safe and put bugs on all the teachers, suspicious kids from B-class and from my class, particularly those I didn't fully trust or know. In the circle of trust, I have my girls, Momo and Jiro, Asui because she's all for the law, Kirishima because he's too hard-headed to be a traitor, Kaminari because he's too stupid to be a traitor, Tokoyami because he's too calm and reasonable...and he's also emo...or goth, I've never been able to tell the difference.
So, I put bugs on everyone else, and I was right, just a few minutes ago, I listened to a recording of Aoyama talking to someone on the phone, and recounted the exact location of the camp, who was guarding it, and reported what I was doing at the time.
- I-I didn't want to...I-I couldn't tell him...' he replied with tears gathering under his eyes.
And it looked like I wasn't the only one listening to him, for a metre away from me, the misty gate of Kurogiri appeared, and out of it came a huge clawed paw that struck me, knocking me dozens of metres deep into the thicket of trees I was knocking down with my back.
- What the hell? - I got up, and touching my torso, I saw a small cut wound from the claws, which gradually healed.
- GRA-A-A-A-A! - A two-metre long monster, remotely human-like, with skin torn off, a head like it was made of metal, huge clawed hands, and exactly the same limbs protruding from the forearms, as well as a giant maw with teeth in the chest.
- Let's see how my Infinity tastes. - I pulled out my blade and swung it, creating two cross-to-cross slashes, but they didn't even leave a wound on the body. - Nomu means you'll be stronger than the other monsters...perhaps on par with your U.S.J. kin. - I returned the blade and switched to phantom mode, since in normal form and light amplification, I'm unlikely to be able to destroy it.
- Rrrr! - With a roar, he ran at me, leaning on four limbs, and two additional stretched forward, using like spears, but instead of tips, sharp claws.
- I'm faster! - At a speed above supersonic, I punched through the monster's chest cavity, leaving a large hole in the monster. However, the monster survived, and the hole began to heal quickly. - Damn it, what kind of quirks are you made of?! - I was angry because Nomu didn't even notice the hole in his torso.
Physically, Nomu would be on par with me, and I'd win in speed, but in strength, I'd lose to the monster. The weak point of all Nomu is the head, but this one is different, because they've thought of putting the brains sticking out of the head into a strong, metal-like skull.
- How about that? - I struck my right fist in the air, towards the monster, and with this simple movement, released a colossal power shockwave, which knocked out around and behind Noma huge pieces of earth, side by side tearing out trees and bushes, with roots.
But even that didn't help, the monster didn't move a step, on the contrary, it absorbed the kinetic energy of the shockwave, which made it grow two metres taller and thicker, and its appearance gained more monstrous features, now it didn't even look like a mutant, more like some kind of demon from a piece of gathered flesh.
- GRAAAA!' he roared harder than before, and lunged at me, his claws piercing my stomach through and through.
- I got you, you freak. - I stuck both hands in the area of the monster's neck, and began to rapidly absorb all available energy from him, because of which he began to shrink in size and strength, until I finally drank all the energy from him, leaving a dried corpse, a moment later crumbled to dust. - You were following me through Aoyama, thinking of killing me... you got the wrong guy, I'll kill you myself. - I cancelled the phantom mode, and immediately spit out the blood, the wound on my stomach was healing, but it still didn't feel good.
This Nomu was barely weaker than the one from U.S.J., and it was like it was designed for me. I guess that was the All for One plan, the rest of the task force was supposed to wear me down as much as possible, and then he was supposed to use Nomu, hardly to kill me, more like cripple me, and then he could drag my body back to him...I guess I don't know what the hell is going on in that manipulator's ugly head.
I shifted my gaze to Aoyama, he seemed to be too scared, and passed out from fear. It was dangerous to leave Jiro and Hagakure here, so I used the life energy on the girls to let their bodies work through the poisonous gas in their lungs and then put them on my shoulders, flying to Katsuki's aid. I left Aoyama there, his cronies wouldn't touch Yuga anyway, and I didn't intend to rescue a traitor.
According to the drone cameras, there was no one outside the building, so most likely everyone was inside, because it would be safer, even though the building had big holes left by Dabi. Inside, Aizawa and Blood King and the others were holed up inside, waiting for help, and for good reason, the police and medics were on their way and would arrive in about ten minutes.
- Where's Katsuki? - I asked, appearing in the classroom.
- Mizuiro, you came...you teleported everyone here, didn't you? - Aizawa, whose naked face was oozing with suspicion, asked.
- If you've been listening to me carefully, I'm a telepath and I know exactly what you're thinking as you glare at me. It's not me. In fact, it's Aoyama. - I replied, to which the class teacher's eyes widened in shock.
- What are you talking about? What does Aoyama have to do with this? - Kendo asked.
- You went into battle without direct authorisation. - Sotrigolova frowned, though now I had a little more confidence in me.
- I'm sorry, I wanted to live, and I'm the headmaster, and as the headmaster I have to be responsible for the safety of my classmates. - I made up an excuse as I went along. - About Aoyama...it doesn't matter now. I'll say it again, where's Katsuki?
- What do you mean where? As soon as she got here, she sat over there in the corner and she's still sitting there, frowning. - Mina pointed her finger at the corner where no one was. - Huh? She was just there.
Suddenly, I received a signal from the drone about movement outside, someone moving very fast through the trees, towards Dabi who was running towards me. I instantly teleported outside, and knocked a guy in the air, wearing a cape with boots and gloves, and a mask and hat with a feather. The strange-looking guy, fell with a loud yell, onto the ground with his heel.
- Ouch! What a horror, are all the children in Yuei so ill-mannered? - Mr Compress rubbed his bottom and leaned on his cane.
His real name is Atsuhiro Sako, and he is the great-grandson of the infamous Robin-Good thief, Oji Harima, who in his era, robbed fake heroes. Oji promoted the idea of transformation, and put the loot back on the streets. And his great-grandson, followed in his great-grandfather's footsteps.
His quirk is extremely unusual, he can shrink anything down to the size of a small marble ball, that is, he shrinks the atoms of an object or person, thus shrinking it and condensing it into a convenient little form.
- Give it to Katsuki, and I promise...I won't beat you badly, I'll break your nose at most. - I lied, because I was going to beat the crap out of him.
- You talk a good game, but your bloodshot eyes tell a different story. - He was right when he unclenched his right fist, where there was a small blue ball. - You want it, don't you? Then catch it! - he threw the ball behind his back...and I quickly moved towards him and caught it.
- You were right, I'll beat you half to death.
- Stupid boy.I just distracted you while you fought Nomu, and helped the others, I managed to hand over your girlfriend. - The ball turned into a large rock that fell to the ground with a crash, and Atsuhiro disappeared into Kurogiri's teleport.
The drone spotted Dabi a hundred metres away, almost completely submerged in the misty teleport, dragging Katsuki, who he was holding by the neck.
Transferring close to him, I moved as fast as possible in their direction...and not in time. The last thing I saw was the grinning freak, and my girlfriend...half confused, half pissed off.
