"Speaking of flashy and powerful, it has to be Chiffon, Todoroki, and Bakugo." Eijiro Kirishima was extremely envious of those three classmates. Their moves were flashy, and their damage was explosive.

"Don't compare me to that lightning guy." Bakugo Katsuki said angrily. "And why am I last when you mention us?"

"Bakugo-chan is always losing his temper. It doesn't feel like he'd be very popular," Tsuyu-chan said honestly.

"What did you say, bastard? Of course I will be!" Bakugo Katsuki immediately flew into a rage.

"See?" Tsuyu-chan turned and pointed at Bakugo Katsuki, proving that what she had said was correct. He really did lose his temper easily.

"You've only known each other for a short time, and yet they've already seen through your personality, which is like dog shit boiled in a filthy gutter. That's pretty impressive." Denki Kaminari said without the slightest hint of guilt.

"What kind of words do you even have in your dictionary, bastard? I'll kill you!" Bakugo Katsuki felt like hitting someone. His classmates were driving him insane.

"Kacchan is actually getting bullied. What an unbelievable sight. As expected of U.A. High School." Izuku held his head in disbelief.

"What a vulgar conversation." Momo Yaoyorozu covered her mouth with one hand, but her chest was squeezed together, making Chiffon stare wide-eyed.

Mineta Minoru glared resentfully at Chiffon. That pervert was staring at Momo Yaoyorozu again. He was furious, but he couldn't beat him, so he could only curse Chiffon and hope Momo Yaoyorozu would hate him.

"We're almost there. Settle down, all of you." Shota Aizawa said, unable to bear watching them any longer.

Only then did everyone quiet down.

They finally arrived. Chiffon got off the bus with some unease in his heart. The League of Villains was about to arrive. The enemy forces would reach the battlefield in ten minutes.

"Students, I've been waiting for you."

"Wow, it's Space Hero No. 13! I can't believe we're seeing her here!" everyone said excitedly.

She was Space Hero No. 13, a highly gentlemanly hero who had performed exceptionally well at disaster rescue sites.

"I really like No. 13," Ochaco Uraraka said, covering her face.

Chiffon actually wanted to tell Shota Aizawa about the enemies, but he was afraid he would be mistaken for a spy if he explained it poorly. After all, Kurogiri had teleported over. Without any evidence, speaking up now would easily make people suspicious of him.

Forget it. I'll just let things take their course. Chiffon thought. Since he was here, the battle would naturally be resolved faster. Perhaps the battle would be over before the heroes even arrived. After all, All Might could deal with the Nomu, while he could deal with Shigaraki Tomura.

"Let's head inside quickly." No. 13 pointed toward the training facility.

"We're in your care."

The venue was enormous. Only in such a real environment did Chiffon truly feel its grandeur. The central area was also incredibly vast, divided into several huge sections.

"This is amazing. Is this USJ?" everyone exclaimed in awe.

"Floods, landslides, fires, storms, and so on." No. 13 spread her arms. "This is a training facility I created, designed around every kind of accident and disaster."

Its name was the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, USJ for short.

"No. 13, where is All Might?" Shota Aizawa walked up to her with both hands in his pockets. "Wasn't he supposed to meet us here?"

"Senior, um..." No. 13 said awkwardly. "It seems he pushed his Quirk to its limit on the way to work and is currently resting in the lounge."

"Sorry. I should be able to make a brief appearance around the time you're finishing up." All Might wiped away his sweat in the lounge. "I'm truly very sorry."

Shota Aizawa said somewhat displeasedly, "That's far too unreasonable, hey."

"But it's also a precaution, just in case." Shota Aizawa knew someone had definitely set their sights on All Might. In that sense, this was fine too. "It can't be helped. Let's begin."

"As everyone knows, my Quirk is Black Hole. No matter what it is, I can suck it in and crush it." No. 13 explained her Quirk.

"That's why you can carry out rescues during any disaster, right?" Izuku clearly knew a lot about No. 13. He had taken plenty of notes, with records on heroes both famous and obscure.

"Yes, but this power can also easily kill people." No. 13 analyzed it from multiple angles. Since some Quirks could benefit society, there would naturally be Quirks that could harm society as well. "I think some of your Quirks may be like that too."

At that moment, some of them looked toward Chiffon. Chiffon pretended not to notice. He wasn't taking the blame. If someone had to take it, Todoroki and Bakugo could take it.

"Our superhuman society may seem to have been built through strict qualification-based control over the use of Quirks. But if you take a single wrong step, you can easily kill someone. We all possess Quirks with that kind of extreme potential, and I want you to keep that firmly in mind. I believe that through Teacher Aizawa's physical fitness test, you have already learned about the possibilities contained within your own power."

"Through All Might's combat training against other people, you have also truly experienced how dangerous your power can be when used against someone else. In this class, I want you to change your mindset and properly learn how to use your Quirks to save others. Your powers do not exist to hurt others. They exist to save others. I hope that after this lesson, you will come to understand that."

No. 13 had delivered a great deal of wisdom in one breath, encouraging them to reconsider how they viewed their Quirks. Little stars practically shone in Izuku's eyes.

At that moment, Chiffon suddenly swept his gaze around. The League of Villains had arrived!

The previously bright lights suddenly dimmed. Even the central fountain stopped supplying water. Then, before everyone's eyes, a purple-black vortex suddenly appeared above the pool. Kurogiri had made his entrance!

"Gather together! Don't move around!" Shota Aizawa noticed the abnormality immediately. "No. 13, protect the students."

"What is that?" The students now saw a man with a hand covering his face emerge from the abyss-like purple-black mist. His clothes were strange, and he gave off an air of decay. Then all sorts of bizarre-looking figures appeared behind him. Eijiro Kirishima even thought it had been arranged by the school. "Is this another one of those things where they start without warning, like during the entrance exam!?"

Shigaraki Tomura remained where he stood, looking at the students on the raised platform, but he could not find any sign of All Might.

"Don't move!" Shota Aizawa warned them as he put on his goggles, standard gear for him in battle. "Those are enemies."

Everyone found it unbelievable. How could enemies suddenly appear here? What exactly was going on? Had this been planned all along?

Chiffon stood among the crowd looking relatively calm. Enemies continued stepping out of Kurogiri, each stranger-looking than the last. At that moment, Chiffon felt that something was wrong. There seemed to be far more enemies than there had been in the original story.

Just then, a Nomu lumbered out. Behind it, two more different Nomu stepped through one after another.

"How could this be?!" Chiffon's expression suddenly changed. Three Nomu!?
