"Security Defense 3 has been breached. All students, please evacuate outdoors immediately."

"What, what is Security Defense?" Tenya Iida asked the person next to him in disbelief.

"Haven't the academy's defenses held for three years? How could there suddenly be a problem?" some of the upperclassmen exchanged worried glances.

The entire cafeteria immediately descended into chaos. Many students, midway through their meals, were jolted by the alarm and scrambled to escape.

"Su Lin-chan, let's go too. It's too dangerous here," Torhu Hagakure exclaimed, jumping up in a panic. "I can't believe U.A.'s defenses would be breached. Is it the work of villains?"

Su Lin calmly shook his head, taking another bite of his curry rice. "Haven't you heard of stampedes? Statistically speaking, rushing out there is far more dangerous than staying put."

"Eh? But..."

"He's right, it's not a big problem," Shoto Todoroki, who had been silent until now, said calmly before returning to his meal.

He's really calm. Su Lin admitted he was somewhat impressed. If he hadn't known the full story, he might have panicked like the other students.

With the arrival of the police, the incident was quickly resolved. The cause turned out to be a group of media reporters who had intruded onto the campus.

Ever since All Might began teaching at U.A., these reporters had been lurking around the academy's entrance daily, trying to extract any tidbits of information from students and teachers.

"These reporters are more troublesome than villains. If we're not careful with our attitude, negative news will spread like wildfire. Even the teachers have to put up with them."

"But reporters alone couldn't have breached the academy's defenses, could they? I still feel a bit uneasy."

Hearing Mina Ashido and Tsuyu Asui discussing nearby, Su Lin rubbed his head.

The main villain boss of U.A., Tomura Shigaraki, wasn't it?

His teacher, who possessed a Quirk called All For One. Not only was its name the opposite of All Might's One.For.All, but the two also had a certain connection. All For One's effect was to steal others' Quirks for his own use, becoming stronger and stronger.

Well, that's not the point. Su Lin couldn't possibly deal with someone of that caliber for now. Besides, if it really came down to a fight, his X-Hair avatar might not be inferior to the opponent.

He endured it all until school was over.

Walking on the road, Su Lin yawned lazily.

Mask, black robe. This choice was indeed wise. By dressing like this, I can safely use my female avatar and also avoid criminal incidents to a certain extent.

Su Lin hadn't encountered villains before; in fact, he'd run into them several times. Each time, he was walking down the street as Yukino and was targeted by villains.

Perhaps girls dressed like this are particularly easy to bully? In any case, she's been taken hostage many times in violent incidents.

Dressed so heavily, I shouldn't be kidnapped this time, right?

To train her Quirk, she maintained the Yukino avatar, wearing a mask as she walked the streets.

Except for the slender stocking-clad legs beneath the black robe, every other part of her was tightly wrapped. And based solely on her legs, one couldn't judge a person's appearance. Not to mention the mask and robe, an ensemble that screamed 'villain,' meant she was unlikely to be targeted by criminals.

However...

"Found you!"

Whoosh—

After a gust of wind, a giant arm grabbed her body and began to sprint in a certain direction.

"What the hell is going on?"

Suddenly lifted into the air, Yukino's head spun. She felt like she was being grabbed by something enormous... with just one arm.

"Don't run, stop right there, you disgusting criminal!"

A woman's voice came from behind.

The one holding Yukino was clearly furious, letting out a low growl: "So what if I'm ugly? So what if I'm not good-looking? Thirty years! Thirty damn years! This damned Quirk has kept me from even finding a girlfriend. How can you heroes understand my pain! Fame, honor... you only think of yourselves, completely disregarding the lives of people like me."

The wind grew stronger, and with the up-and-down motion, Yukino's body struggled to endure.

Wait, wait, wait. Ugly?

What does me being ugly have to do with anything?

Suddenly snapping out of her daze, Yukino began to ponder the question. In her haste, she looked up, squinting her eyes against the wind, and saw the attacker's appearance.

"Okay, really ugly."

Chapter 16: It's Been Very Unsafe Lately

It was like a stitched-together monster made of flesh, covered in pustules. It was disgusting beyond ordinary levels. Even in a society filled with Quirks, someone with such an appearance was extremely rare.

The female hero behind them shouted from afar, "Who cares how you look? I only know that your actions cause pain to others, and that's what we heroes are here to stop."

"Stop?"

The stitched monster let out a cold laugh, and its massive body suddenly stopped. It lifted Yukino up. Unfortunately, due to the rough movement, her mask slipped off halfway, and her arm felt a slight pain.

"She's mine now. There are women everywhere on the street, everyone has a girlfriend, everyone can live happily, why can't I? Why am I the only one constantly mocked for my ugliness? I don't care anymore. I'm taking her home and making her completely mine."

Su Lin's expression froze the moment those words left his mouth.

"What the hell... a lonely old dog who's been single for millennia?"

He hadn't expected to run into such rotten luck.

An eye emerged from the stitched-together mass of flesh, rolling around a few times before focusing on Yukino in its grasp. The moment it saw her, the creature visibly faltered. Beneath its mask was an incredibly fair, pretty face, and under the dark robe, two slender, alluring thighs.

It seemed the monster hadn't anticipated capturing such a pure and beautiful girl, and it began to tremble with excitement.

"So disgusting."

Sensing the undisguised gaze, Yukino gritted her teeth and fiercely kicked out with her leg.

Bang

With a leg strength of over 200 kilograms, the kick landed squarely on its head. The impact force, at least half a ton, sent the monster staggering back several steps.

"Don't you know hostages can fight back?"

She delivered a second kick, forcing the creature to loosen its grip. In the next instant, Mysterious Heroine X appeared behind the monster and punched it, sending it flying into the air.

Then…

Vwoom!

A blade of light shot out, severing its arm from over ten meters away.

Squelch~

"Aaaah!" The stitched monster roared in pain, screaming as it collapsed onto the ground.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Because the use of Quirks by ordinary citizens was prohibited, Su Lin acted in the greatest extent of self-defense as a victim, refraining from killing.

"You..."

Mt. Lady hadn't expected the situation to reverse so quickly. Staring at the girl who had flashed by, she even wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her.

"I'm alright now, thank you Mt. Lady."

Smiling at her, Yukino didn't say anything more and turned to run.

She didn't want to get herself into any more trouble.

"Phew, my clothes actually got torn."

Running several hundred meters away, she looked at the small patch of fair skin exposed on her shoulder and the ripped clothing. The corner of her mouth twitched, and she felt fortunate that she hadn't encountered any greater danger.

That stitched mass of flesh was so huge... she couldn't imagine this guy wanting Yukino as his girlfriend.

Who could tolerate something like that?

"No, no, spit, spit, why am I even thinking about this?"

Worried about encountering more bad people, she quickly ducked into an alley. Seeing that no one was around, she reverted to her true form.

"It really is dangerous for a girl to be out alone. It's safer in my original body. There's absolutely no way I'll meet bad guys like this." He shook his head with a wry smile.

"Hand over your money, or else."

Suddenly, a cold knife was pressed against his neck.

"..."

Su Lin, now the one being threatened, slowly raised his hands.

"Take me to your home."

Su Lin didn't resist, but he was busy thinking about how to dispose of a body while minimizing trouble.

"I really should have asked a hero for help."

A world where Quirks couldn't be used freely, yet was filled with crime, was truly troublesome.

Upon arriving at the bare, empty house, the rough-looking robber stared blankly at the vacant living room and rooms, unable to help but grumble, "This is your home? How are you poorer than me?"

"Yeah, all my worldly possessions are right here," Su Lin replied bitterly.

"..."

After a moment of silence, the robber suddenly put down his knife. "Forget it, this is boring. I didn't expect to run into a pauper when trying to rob someone."

He turned and walked out the door, about to leave, but then suddenly stopped.

Su Lin frowned, preparing to make a move.

Unexpectedly, the robber fumbled in his pocket, pulled out 1000 yen, and slammed it onto the table.

"Damn it, I can't stand to see this. Take this money, find a job, and don't ever do what I do in the future."

With that, he finally left, feeling reassured.

Su Lin picked up the 1000 yen bill with a strange expression, examining it repeatedly until he was sure there were no issues.

So, it was basically confirmed that this money could be spent.

"The world of U.A. High is truly dangerous. Since I arrived in this world, how many times have I encountered crime?" Su Lin couldn't recall anymore.

Leaning back on the bed, he began to ponder his experiences during this time when a screen suddenly popped up before his eyes.

[Main Quest: Completely eliminate the wielder of All For One.]

[Quest Rewards: 1. Unlock permission for a new Avatar. 2. Escape this world.]

"What?"

Nothing had changed since he transmigrated, so he didn't expect the system to suddenly appear now.

"Eliminate All For One?"

That was a super boss capable of injuring All Might. Before transmigrating, Su Lin had just finished watching the third season's plot, where All Might once again defeated All For One, that bald guy, and imprisoned him in some completely sealed prison.

However, such a scene felt more like a flag. Perhaps that guy would escape prison later or cause trouble again through some method.

"This quest seems mandatory, after all, completing it means I can leave this world."

He felt like he finally had a goal to strive for.

But before that, he needed to change X-Hair more often to extend its usage time.

After all, a five-minute combat power might not be enough to completely defeat that tenacious opponent.

Chapter 17: USJ

The next afternoon at 12:50 PM, Shota Aizawa appeared dejectedly in front of the lecture hall.

Perhaps it was due to too many troublesome incidents recently, dealing with reporters first, and then the academy being invaded, his mental state wasn't great, giving off a feeling of increasing weariness.

"Today's Hero Basic Training will be supervised by myself, All Might, and one other teacher, in a three-person format."
