First encounter, complete defeat!

"It's you?" As his mask fell off, Stain's eyes locked onto Yukino's face, as if he recognized her instantly.

"You know who I am?"

Logically, he shouldn't have recognized her so quickly. After all, Stain shouldn't have been paying much attention to the students of the U.A. Sports Festival.

"One who sacrifices themselves to save others. Two months ago, you took dozens of stabs from a villain to save a helpless child." Stain seemed pleased. "It's good that you're unharmed."

"..."

"Don't get involved in this. You can leave here safely." Stain said excitedly.

"Hmph." Yukino's expression turned cold.

"Stain, do you believe heroes must possess a spirit of sacrifice and shouldn't abuse their power for personal gain? But have you ever considered that everyone has selfish desires? The reason society is stable now is because we satisfy the vanity and survival needs of heroes, thereby maintaining social order. The ideal society you envision, where heroes are completely selfless and imposters are eliminated, is beautiful, but it's just a castle in the sky. Because there are far too few people like All Might."

Yukino shielded Tenya Iida, speaking aloud while thinking about how to undo the blood clotting and engage in combat.

But at this moment, Stain squinted strangely. "Aren't you?"

"Huh?"

"Compared to those greedy imposters tainted by materialism, you, though not a hero, are willing to risk your safety and save those within your reach. You... are more like a hero than them."

His blade pointed at Tenya Iida, and at the other... unfamiliar guy.

"Pfft."

Yukino had prepared for everything, but she never expected to be showered with such insane praise upon their first meeting.

Honestly, she had always thought sacrificing oneself for others was foolish. Although, back then, her body had rushed into battle with the attacker before her mind could even process it.

She had to admit, no matter how much she disliked selfless individuals, she couldn't deny that the morality of this society was indeed desperately protected by a small number of conscientious people, preventing its complete collapse.

Moreover, conscientious people aren't necessarily without selfish desires. Even Yukino only rushed out to save someone after knowing she absolutely wouldn't die.

If she had known she would die, she would never have foolishly stepped forward.

Because she... was also selfish.

Chapter 60: Tomura Shigaraki's Interruption

"Hahahaha... Hero?"

As the people on the scene confronted each other, an untimely laugh, tinged with a hint of laziness, suddenly descended from the building opposite.

Rikka, who had just used steel bars to restrain the attacking man, didn't have time to react before a mass of purple-black mist appeared before her. A hand emerged from it, grabbed Sister Doma, and then quickly retreated more than ten meters away.

"You..."

"Interesting, very interesting, Hero Killer. Let's see how many people will remember you after dawn," Tomura Shigaraki appeared along with Kurogiri, standing on the opposite building. Beside him were two enormous Nomu.

One had terrifying wings, and the other... was the monster used to target All Might during the USJ attack.

"Let me go." Sister Doma looked at Kurogiri beside her with annoyance. She knew these guys must be after her. After the U.A. Sports Festival battle, All For One must have set his sights on Su Lin's Avatar Quirk.

But was that guy really planning to turn into a little girl? And without the system's extraction, even if he obtained such a Quirk, it would be useless, right?

"Sorry, you who are wearing a little girl's skin, I don't know the meaning of tenderness." Kurogiri's tone was cold. Dressed as a hotel employee, he cast a wary gaze at Takanashi Rikka before him.

He just didn't know that Doma was actually calmer than she appeared.

The Avatar could be dismissed at any time, and Sister Doma herself had no combat power. Her ability was support; as long as she was present, she could guarantee a halo bonus for her side.

Since that was the case, she might as well let the enemy capture her openly to lower their guard.

But a pretense of resistance was necessary, otherwise, they might become suspicious. So, Haruhi Kasugano opened her mouth and bit down on Kurogiri's hand.

Crack—

"Ow, that hurt."

Hard as iron, she couldn't bite through it at all.

"Are you a child?" Kurogiri's grip suddenly tightened, deforming her bones. The pain made Sister Doma immediately stop resisting.

"You should have done this earlier. According to the intel, this body of yours isn't very useful, it's just for distracting others, right? On the day of the U.A. Sports Festival, you exploited the target's personality weakness and acted pitiful to make your opponent surrender directly. Too bad that trick is useless against me."

"It's great that you think so."

Sister Doma sneered inwardly. This guy's thought process was truly unconventional. A pitiful Avatar? That made sense... without combat power, what else could it do besides tank damage for the main body and shout "666" from the back?

She knew the enemy she was facing now was very powerful. Not to mention the two Nomu and Kurogiri who could teleport, even the Hero Killer on the ground was more than enough for her to handle.

If All For One were here, I'd pierce him with one Noble Phantasm right now.

With this thought in mind, she immediately heard a prompt from the system: [Temporary Blood Type Change: B?O]

In an instant, Yukino, who was unable to move, regained control of her body.

"Blood type change?"

She tried moving a finger; it was indeed successful.

Without a word, Yukino immediately grabbed Tenya Iida and retreated backward. But her steps had barely moved half a meter when Tenya Iida pushed her away.

"Su Lin, you hurry and leave. This has nothing to do with you."

I really didn't want to drag my companions into this. Tenya Iida's power output was immense, almost causing Yukino, who had let her guard down, to fall.

This simple display seemed to deepen Stain's disgust.

"Let me finish you."

Stain instantly charged forward, swinging his weapon at Tenya Iida. Yukino couldn't afford to worry about anything else and pushed him aside, stepping in front.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop, Takanashi Rikka, who was confronting Tomura Shigaraki, abruptly pulled off her white eyepatch, revealing a golden iris.

"Let my power erupt... shatter your spirit! Banish this world!"

The next moment, Rikka tilted her head back, her body arching, and a beam of scarlet light shot out from the depths of her eye, piercing the sky.

Countless magic circle patterns flickered in and out of existence around the beam, their intricate designs exuding a mysterious beauty.

Simultaneously, in front of Yukino, a sharp curved blade materialized out of thin air and slashed at Stain.

His pupils contracted. He quickly tossed a curved blade into the air, then swung his left hand, easily parrying the attack from the autonomous weapon. He then used the recoil to leap backward, throwing a second blade at Yukino.

Ching—

The blade grazed Yukino's neck, leaving a deep gash.

The blade Stain had thrown into the air now descended towards her head. To avoid being decapitated, Yukino stumbled to the right. Before she could regain her footing, Stain had already leaped up and closed the distance between them.

A red tongue flicked out, aiming for her neck.

"Get lost!"

An autonomous weapon appeared from nowhere, slashing at Stain's tongue and forcing him to retreat rapidly.

"Disgusting, you pervert."

In the original story, Shoto Todoroki's face had almost suffered the same fate from Stain. It was clear that this guy's swordsmanship and physical combat skills were formidable, not only in terms of raw power but also terrifyingly precise. This kind of close-quarters tongue-licking quirk activation was something few people could pull off.

Upstairs, Takanashi Rikka's Evil Eye had finished activating, her combat power instantly increasing tenfold.

Several wind blades detached from her body and flew directly towards Kurogiri.

Sensing danger, Kurogiri quickly teleported himself and Sister Doma into the sky. However, just as they ascended about 20 meters, a magical lightning bolt struck Kurogiri's core, eliciting a piercing scream and forcing him to release Sister Doma.

Seeing the twin-tailed girl falling from the sky, Rikka immediately lunged forward, rolling below, and then spread her arms, catching the falling Sister Doma.

They embraced tightly.

The impact caused Sister Doma to let out a soft groan, and the next moment, she went limp in Rikka's arms, completely drained. Seeing the girl's cute and pitiful state, Rikka swallowed hard and couldn't help but hold her even tighter.

"She's really soft, unusually so."

On the opposite building, Tomura Shigaraki was scratching his neck with a creak-creak sound.

"A new avatar every time, always a new avatar. Teacher... what should I do now?"

Scratching incessantly, his voice was filled with extreme anxiety.

Rikka had managed to injure Kurogiri, which was completely unexpected. Although he had that Nomu from last time, one of them was meant to deal with X-Hair.

ALL FOR ONE had even bestowed several more Quirks upon this already powerful Nomu, completely maxing out its combat potential.

Chapter 61: Getting Angry

"Tomura Shigaraki, do you want to deploy the strongest Nomu?"

Kurogiri's condition was unstable. Despite his bizarre abilities, he was actually quite vulnerable if his weaknesses were targeted. Moreover, the body hidden beneath his mist was quite sensitive; that lightning strike had inflicted nearly fatal damage.

"No need to rush yet." Tomura Shigaraki always felt it was unwise to prematurely use his trump cards.

Although ALL FOR ONE had enhanced the initial Nomu, it was still debatable whether it could defeat X-Hair.

As for All Might, the possibility of his sudden appearance couldn't be ruled out either.

"This is so troublesome, more and more enemies..."

While scratching his neck and observing the situation below, Tomura finally decided to send out the winged Nomu first.

Between the floors, Yukino, now distanced from Stain, touched her neck and found that the wound had already healed more than halfway.

"How disgusting, who licks a girl's body in public?"

Yukino truly felt it would be better if Stain were dead. If he lived, future developments would spiral out of control. She had been diligently trying to avoid disrupting the plot precisely to prevent everything from going haywire later.

And currently, the storyline had already gone slightly awry.

For instance, at this point in time, Izuku Midoriya and Shoto Todoroki should have arrived according to the original work, but in reality... Yukino was still fighting alone.

"With Rikka's cooperation, I should be able to barely contend with Stain. This state of being on the verge of death with just a slight lapse in attention is excellent for honing my skills."

As she thought this, Stain responded, "You shouldn't protect him like that."

"Tch, what's it to you?"

Yukino found him too talkative and decided to take action herself, charging towards him.

Stain raised his weapon and counterattacked Yukino.

With the cooperation of automatic weapons, the two sides fought to a standstill.

Yukino's excellent physical condition allowed her to barely keep up with the Hero Killer's speed.

Even more terrifying was that even if she sustained wounds, she would recover faster than a normal person.

As Izuku Midoriya and Shoto Todoroki arrived, the outnumbered Hero Killer was finally defeated.

Meanwhile, the flying Nomu causing trouble on the rooftop was completely taken down by Takanashi Rikka using various skills, including stun, control, sleep, paralysis, and mental damage.

"Ah, my Nomu, killed just like that! Let's go, I'm done playing, this is boring."

Tomura Shigaraki didn't even seem to have the mood to deploy his strongest Nomu.

"But..." Kurogiri still wanted to persuade him.

"Teacher said, only cowards want to become women for no reason."

"I understand."

Kurogiri had no choice but to open a portal!

Just as Tomura Shigaraki and Kurogiri were about to disappear, Takanashi Rikka suddenly leaped forward, darted to the side, and with lightning speed, kicked Tomura Shigaraki in the head.

"You idiot, take this kick."

Bang!

The portal closed.

The last image was of Shigaraki being kicked over.

"That felt good."

Rikka, who had landed, immediately turned back and picked up Sister Doma, who was already out of strength.

ALL FOR ONE refused his Quirk because he didn't want to become a woman? That was impossible. A guy like him would probably turn into a dog if it meant getting stronger.
