My Avatar is the Heroine

"To deal with freaks like this, plus dozens of Pro Heroes, we really can't win after all. Game over... this time it's already game over. Let's go back."

In truth, the biggest blow came from X-Hair. The Nomu, their ultimate weapon, had been suppressed by a girl of unknown origin—that was even harder to swallow than losing to All Might.

"Going back? Did I hear that right?" Minato-kun asked in disbelief.

"I heard it too." Tsuyu Asui nodded from the water.

"Thank goodness, we're saved." Minato-kun wept tears of joy, hugging Tsuyu tightly, his hand pressing against her chest.

"Crack..."

Tsuyu's expression stiffened, and she shoved Minato straight into the water.

"That feels really unpleasant, Midoriya-chan."

"Yeah." Izuku Midoriya nodded. "We've come this far, and they're retreating so easily. Weren't they trying to kill All Might? If they just go back like this, they'll only make U.A. more vigilant. What's going on... what are those guys thinking?"

Shigaraki really was ready to leave, even planning to pull back the Nomu and stop confronting X-Hair.

But...

The next instant, he suddenly twisted into a grotesque grin:

"Before that, let me just... crush a little bit of that so-called symbol of peace's pride before I go back."

With that, Tomura Shigaraki activated his Quirk, his arm reaching straight for Tsuyu-chan, who had no time to react.

Chapter 21: So Envy-Inducing

"Do you think I'm not here?"

Shota Aizawa's eyes widened as he activated Erasure, stopping Tomura Shigaraki's attack from a distance.

Seizing the moment his movement stalled, Yukino rushed forward and kicked him hard in the waist.

Bam!

"Whoa!"

Tomura Shigaraki rolled several times on the ground, looking somewhat battered.

"What a... troublesome brat."

Amid the faint pain, Shigaraki rubbed his injured spot and muttered irritably. The situation was grim now—the Nomu was held up by X-Hair, and Tenya Iida had already succeeded in running for help. For him, this game was essentially over.

"I'm done playing... done playing. Kurogiri, we're going home."

Having made his decision, Shigaraki scratched the skin on his neck and called out to his subordinate.

"Yes, leaving now."

The mist spread, and an opening to another place began to form. The Nomu, still facing off against X-Hair, slowly retreated to their side, using its body to block the entrance.

"Trying to run?" X-Hair saw this and suddenly remembered her skill, making a decisive choice. "In that case... I'll have to call in an attack from beyond the sky."

She raised her sword, and a strange signal instantly shot into distant space.

Skill: Support Barrage!

Since it leaned toward being game-like, the skill's greatest value wasn't its damage but its unique stun function.

In other words, no matter who it was, anyone hit by a single barrage would fall into a brief state of unconsciousness.

Without the corresponding resistance, this move would land one hundred percent of the time, regardless of your strength—no one could escape it.

A bad premonition suddenly surged in Shota Aizawa's heart. He looked up, feeling like something dangerous had locked onto him.

"Everyone, fall back. I'm using my big move."

Mysterious Heroine X turned and shouted to the students.

"Su Lin, you..."

Izuku Midoriya was about to ask when Shota Aizawa cut in: "Listen to her. Everyone, retreat."

Though strange, the surrounding students obediently moved away.

The next moment, a blinding beam of light descended from the sky, breaking through the building's roof without warning and slamming into Kurogiri's Portal.

Boom~~~

Yukino, closest to the explosion's center, only felt a flash before her eyes as a terrifying shockwave hit, sending her flying instantly.

"Pfft, that hurts."

Crashing hard into a pile of rubble, she rolled dozens of times on the ground before spitting blood, covered in wounds.

"Damn it, I blew myself up."

She was in so much pain she nearly cried.

The fleeing students all felt the heat and scorching wave at their backs. The abnormal airflow made it impossible for them to keep their footing. If they hadn't been far enough from the blast center, probably no one would have survived.

Counting it out, from calling the Support Barrage to the attack landing, the time taken was... 15 seconds.

In that time, Kurogiri had probably already opened a long-distance passage, letting Tomura Shigaraki escape.

"This skill is so slow."

She let out a bitter laugh.

All in all, the villains had been driven off. The remaining rabble could be handled by the students alone. By this point, no support was needed. Shota Aizawa hadn't been injured like in the Original Work either—a perfect outcome.

And as for Yukino's body... nine times out of ten, it was about to get a little stronger again.

Nothing to be done about it. She'd taken that heavy a hit.

Amid the wreckage, the USJ's main door suddenly slammed open with force. A figure brimming with radiance, impossibly muscular, appeared before everyone.

"It's all right now." The voice was deep and powerful. As he strode forward, he ripped open his blue chest strap with an air of dominance.

"Because I am here!"

"..." "..." "???"

"All Might, uh... it's already over. The villains have been driven off." Izuku Midoriya scratched his head awkwardly, addressing All Might as he entered.

"Over?" All Might froze in place. He glanced at the crater in the center—empty. No villains. Every student wore the expression of someone who'd just survived a disaster.

But soon, Izuku noticed Su Lin lying in the rubble, drenched in blood.

"Su Lin!"

His expression shifted slightly, and then he rushed toward her in panic.

"Su Lin, what's wrong?"

"Hm... my consciousness is getting fuzzy. My limbs won't obey me."

As the X-Hair clone dissipated, Su Lin felt a complete, utter weakness wash over her. Maybe the injuries were too severe—her thoughts were grinding to a halt. All she wanted was to close her eyes and sleep.

Vaguely, Izuku Midoriya seemed to enter her field of vision.

"Izuku, you..."

"Su Lin xxxx..."

She couldn't hear anymore.

Time passed—how long, she didn't know. When Su Lin woke again, she was lying on a clean hospital bed.

Her head was still a little dizzy. An old woman's voice drifted at the edge of her hearing.

"This child's recovery ability is too extraordinary. I've never seen a Quirk holder like this. Injured that badly, yet she recovered in just two hours. But All Might, as a teacher, you need to think more about your students. That green-haired boy was one thing, but this time it's a poor girl. Lucky she's tough—anyone else would have collapsed long ago."

"My apologies. That's on me." All Might's tone was guilty.

"All right, enough talk. It looks like she's awake."

As Su Lin opened her eyes, several worried faces came into view.

Tsuyu Asui, Kyoka Jiro, Momo Yaoyorozu...

"You all..."

"Thank goodness, you're finally awake!" A set of clothes bounced in midair, looking extremely excited.

"Su Lin, are you okay?" Ochaco Uraraka gazed at her with concern.

"I'm fine."

Su Lin snapped back to her senses. She tried to push herself up with both hands, only for pitch-black strands of hair to spill down from her head, reaching all the way to her waist.

"Uh... did I forget to switch back?"

Staring at two pale, delicate hands and a slightly swelling chest, she swallowed quietly.

So she'd passed out directly in her clone form?

A few seconds later, she recalled Izuku rushing over before she blacked out. Her face changed instantly. "Who... who carried me here?"

Don't tell me Izuku Midoriya carried her to the infirmary? If so, she'd been felt up to death. Her lower half was in a short skirt and stockings, and her clothes were that thin—way too easy to take advantage of.

"Relax, relax. I brought you here." Torhu Hagakure grinned, reaching out to grab Yukino's calf. "And I checked you over myself. The current Su Lin is one hundred percent a girl."

"You..."

Su Lin lifted her foot, trying to kick her away, but Torhu caught it with both hands.

"A body this soft—I'm super jealous."

Chapter 22: Chance Encounter

"Don't... don't do this."

Su Lin felt a little embarrassed by her current state.

She leaned back against the headboard, her hands weakly propping up her body as one slender leg was lifted by Torhu Hagakure, a flustered expression still on her face.

Even so, being cared for by so many cute girls did fill her heart with a certain satisfaction.

But why did it feel like she was being teased?

So, Torhu Hagakure, this kind of thing is fine when you're alone, but doing it in front of so many people is way too embarrassing, right?

Just as she was feeling utterly speechless, the long-absent system suddenly popped up.

Congratulations, quest completed.

Reward obtained: Random Clone Unlock Quest.

Beginning character draw...

With a flash of golden light, the blue text on the screen changed.

Clone obtained: Haruhi Kasugano.

Unlock Quest: Work 100 hours at a maid café, address at least 10 masters as "big brother," and maintain a complaint rate below 2%.

"..."

A few seconds later...

"Damn you, system, what's with Sister Doma and a maid café? I'd never do such a disgusting quest, even if it killed me."

Understood. Deleting character...

"Pfft, wait, no, don't delete it! I want this character!"

The text on the screen suddenly turned a blood-red deletion color, scaring Su Lin into immediately taking back his words.

Compared to X-Hair's violent training, Sister Doma's quest was at least much simpler in terms of difficulty. Of course, that was on the condition that he could throw away his pathetic sense of shame.
