"Thirteen. And Eraser Head?" Kurogiri revealed his true form and said with some confusion, "According to the teachers' schedule we obtained a few days ago, All Might should have been here today."

"So those guys really were behind what happened a few days ago?" Shota Aizawa took several steps forward, preparing to face the enemy.

"Where is he?" Shigaraki Tomura suddenly grew restless. "I made a special trip here with so many companions. I even brought three Nomu, yet All Might, the Symbol of Peace, isn't here."

"Maybe if we kill those kids, he'll show up?" Shigaraki Tomura looked toward Hero Class A, while Shota Aizawa stepped in front of the students. His white bindings fluttered in the air as a chilling killing intent instantly spread.

What exactly were Professional Heroes fighting against? What were they confronting? It was an incomparably intense malice.

Chiffon looked at the densely packed enemies below the stairs, his expression turning grave. Under normal circumstances, Shigaraki Tomura and Kurogiri should have come with one Nomu, but things had changed. There were two more Nomu.

Chiffon carefully observed the other two Nomu. They were different from each other. One had wings on its back and looked slender and frail, while the other had green skin and four arms, with a build similar to the original black one.

But even with these changes, Chiffon would not back down. So what if there were two more Nomu? With his current strength, as long as he did not face that black Nomu, he should be fine. Even if he fought Shigaraki Tomura, he was confident he could injure him.

"Enemies!? Are they idiots?" Eijiro Kirishima said in disbelief. "They actually infiltrated a hero school. That's unbelievably stupid."

"No." Chiffon turned to Eijiro Kirishima. "They seem to have planned this. This definitely isn't reckless bravado. And those five standing still over there are the leaders of these people. They're very strong!"

The entire class immediately looked ahead. Sure enough, led by the man with a hand on his face, there was a shifting mass of Kurogiri beside him, a huge creature with its brain exposed, and two others that looked similar. The five of them were clearly the leaders.

What Chiffon said was largely accurate, and Shota Aizawa relaxed slightly. Aside from Thirteen, the only Professional Hero present, everyone else on their side was a student.

But students varied in strength. The key to this battle lay in the students' hands. If they could not save themselves, no one else could save them.

He could hold off some of the enemies, but dealing with all of them was unrealistic—impossible, even.

Under these circumstances, they could only rely on the stronger students to share the pressure. Chiffon was undoubtedly the best choice. Besides Chiffon, students like Shoto Todoroki, Bakugo Katsuki, Fumikage Tokoyami, and Momo Yaoyorozu were all capable of protecting themselves.

As long as they did not directly face the enemy leaders, there should not be any major problems. But there seemed to be far too many enemies, and just thinking about it gave Shota Aizawa a headache.

"Teacher, what about the sensors that alert us to intruders!?" Momo Yaoyorozu stepped forward and asked anxiously.

"Of course we have them," Thirteen answered.

"I don't know whether they only appeared here or throughout the entire school." Even in danger, Shoto Todoroki remained calm. "Either way, since the sensors haven't reacted at all, someone among them probably has a Quirk suited for this."

"They chose this isolated area far from the school buildings and knew when our class would be here for lessons. It sounds absurd, but they aren't stupid. This was an extremely thorough surprise attack planned for some purpose." Shoto Todoroki fixed his gaze on Shigaraki Tomura. This man was definitely the mastermind.

"Thirteen, begin evacuation procedures and try to contact the school." Shota Aizawa walked down the stairs as he spoke. "Those enemies even accounted for disabling the sensors. Someone with an electromagnetic Quirk may be interfering."

"Kaminari, you try using your Quirk to make contact too." Shota Aizawa stopped and turned to Denki Kaminari.

"Yes." Denki Kaminari did not dare delay and immediately did as instructed.

Midoriya Izuku stepped forward worriedly. "What about you, Teacher? Are you planning to fight alone? With that number, even if you erase more Quirks, it won't be enough. Eraser Head's fighting style is to capture enemies after erasing their Quirks. In a head-on battle—"

"If you only have one trick, you can't become a hero." Shota Aizawa said calmly, "I'm leaving them to you, Thirteen."

With that, Shota Aizawa leaped straight down the stairs and charged toward the enemies.

Chiffon looked at the distance below the stairs, pulled an Ultraman mask from inside his clothes with his left hand, and put it on.

"Chiffon?" Tenya Iida froze. Chiffon had actually put on an Ultraman Tiga mask at a time like this. What was he planning to do?

At Tenya Iida's startled cry, everyone looked at Chiffon. That action really was strange, as if he did not want someone to recognize him.

Seriously, of all masks, why choose such a cringe Ultraman Tiga mask?

Still, Chiffon looked pretty cool wearing it.

"Is he making a move?" Shoto Todoroki's gaze sharpened. He had guessed what Chiffon was doing.

"Catch this!"

As Chiffon spoke, he spread his right hand. Amid crackling Lightning, an entirely azure spear appeared. He gripped it fiercely, drew his body into a bow, and shot toward Shigaraki Tomura. "Thunderclap Spear!"

In an instant, the Thunderclap Spear tore through the air and shot toward Shigaraki Tomura.

The Thunderclap Spear was something Chiffon had only recently manifested, a skill imagined through Zeus's abilities. As long as Chiffon wished it, and as long as Thunder God's Arrival reached a higher level, he could freely transform the Thunder Quirk into any form.

That was what made an overwhelmingly powerful Quirk—invincible against ten thousand foes!

The instant Chiffon hurled the Thunderclap Spear, Shigaraki Tomura and Kurogiri noticed it. Shigaraki Tomura's eyes widened slightly as he muttered, "I didn't expect the little brats at U.A. High School to have Quirks like this. Looks like this trip was worth it. All Might isn't here... heh heh, then let's kill them all."

The League of Villains members below reacted rather slowly, but they still saw an azure flash streak toward Shigaraki Tomura.

Shota Aizawa was slightly surprised, then smiled. This year's Hero Class A students really had guts—and strength.

"Nomu," Shigaraki Tomura said flatly, seemingly unconcerned about the glowing object flying toward him.

Receiving Shigaraki Tomura's command, the Nomu flashed forward and blocked his path. It brought its hands together overhead, catching the Thunderclap Spear between its palms. Lightning exploded, but the arcs striking the Nomu seemed to have no effect at all, as if they were merely tickling it.

"As expected, I'm still lacking." Just as Chiffon had predicted, he was still too inexperienced to deal with this black Nomu. He had not attacked because he expected to kill Shigaraki Tomura—he knew he could not kill him yet. He simply wanted to see the gap between himself and the Nomu.

Now it seemed that gap was rather large.
