League of Villains Retreat

The next moment, All Might successfully broke free of the Nomu. Slightly out of breath, he landed beside Chiffon and said with a smile, "Thanks to you, young Chiffon."

After getting to his feet, Chiffon glanced at All Might's wound and asked, "How's the injury on your waist? Can you keep going?"

"No problem!" All Might grinned and looked at Chiffon. "What did you call me when I first arrived?"

Chiffon immediately beamed. "Uncle All Might!"

"Hahaha." All Might laughed somewhat wistfully. "I really am getting old, but I like that name!"

"Of course. Who else could possibly deserve that name?" Chiffon laughed and slapped All Might on the back, making him spit out a mouthful of blood with a "Pfft!"

"Hey, what are you doing?" Bakugo Katsuki stared at Chiffon with wide eyes. "All Might was already exhausted, and you went and did that?"

"It's fine!" All Might said through gritted teeth. Young Chiffon did not know about his physical condition, so he could not blame him. Still, he truly was injured now, and his strength had been greatly diminished.

"Here, take a puff of this." Chiffon handed the Quirk Supplement to All Might.

"Young Chiffon, what is this?" All Might asked in confusion. Why was Chiffon giving him something like this now?

"You'll know after one puff." Chiffon smiled.

Nothing could be read from All Might's face. He took the Quirk Supplement and inhaled once. A few seconds later, his eyes lit up, and his smile blossomed again.

"Young Chiffon, please keep something this precious safe. However, once this is over, I'll need you to come with me to the Police Department." All Might returned the Quirk Supplement to Chiffon with a smile.

"Kurogiri, change of plans." Shigaraki Tomura knew that he could no longer kill All Might today. No matter how strong the Nomu was, it could not defeat an All Might who could recover his stamina. Who knew how many more times that strange red thing could be used? If it could be used several more times, then his ace Nomu would be finished.

The moment Kurogiri received the order, he appeared behind Shigaraki Tomura. "Shigaraki Tomura, what do we do next?"

"Take me and the Nomu back." Shigaraki Tomura fixed his gaze on Chiffon. If that brat could not be used by the League of Villains, then he had to be eliminated—but not now.

There were also Shoto Todoroki, Bakugo Katsuki, and Midoriya Izuku, whose power resembled All Might's. He would deal with them all someday.

"This is bad—they're leaving!" Chiffon's expression changed. If Shigaraki Tomura escaped with the Black Nomu, who knew what variables it would create in the future? They could not be allowed to leave.

"Leave it to me." All Might's legs suddenly exploded with power as he charged toward Shigaraki Tomura. Kurogiri's warp had already opened, and the Nomu immediately stood before Shigaraki Tomura, blocking All Might's punch. The two instantly became locked in combat.

"Let's go first." Kurogiri wanted to take Shigaraki Tomura away directly. After all, Shigaraki Tomura was the most important one here.

"No. We have to bring the Nomu back." Shigaraki Tomura insisted. The Black Nomu was currently their greatest creation. It had taken far too long to cultivate, and it existed specifically to defeat All Might. No matter what, they had to take it with them.

At that moment, Shigaraki Tomura suddenly could not breathe. A trace of terror appeared in his eyes as he looked around, but he could not find who was behind it.

Kurogiri's gaze suddenly sharpened. He saw what seemed to be energy fluctuating in Chiffon's left hand. Was Shigaraki Tomura's condition caused by Chiffon? But wasn't the other boy's Quirk lightning? What kind of move was this?

Shigaraki Tomura began to resist, and a suffocating pain rose in Chiffon's chest. Shigaraki Tomura was simply too strong, and Chiffon was having trouble subduing him. As expected, a Quirk still required a difference in strength to suppress another Quirk. Otherwise, it could only serve as support.

"Nomu!" Shigaraki Tomura gave another command. The Nomu instantly broke away from the fight and rushed toward Kurogiri's warp. How could All Might let him escape? He grabbed the half of the Nomu's body that had already entered Kurogiri, trying to pull him back out.

Kurogiri suddenly spat out blood and activated some kind of ability. The pulling force multiplied several times in an instant, and even All Might could no longer hold onto the Nomu. The moment the Nomu entered Kurogiri, he vanished without a trace.

"They still got away." All Might lowered his head and looked at his hands. He felt as though some of his lost strength had returned. Was it a final burst before death, or was it the effect of young Chiffon's miraculous item?

The League of Villains' first battle came to an end.

What the Professional Heroes faced, what they constantly battled against, was an evil world. For the students, it was an experience that had come too soon.

Other than Thirteen, Shota Aizawa's injuries were not as severe as they had been in the original story. This was all thanks to Chiffon—or rather, to the Quirk Supplement.

After returning this time, the League of Villains would surely regroup. When they came back, their strength would multiply.

By then, the Hero Academy's teachers had arrived as well, only to find that the battle had already ended. They were too late.

"Everyone, it seems you arrived a little late." All Might grinned.

"Where are the enemies?" Snipe asked. He had been ready to show off his skills, only for it all to be over. Still, he spotted students in danger in several areas of the facility. Pointing his left hand toward one location, he pulled the trigger on the gun in his hand, and several bullets flew along that line and struck enemies a thousand meters away.

A perfect shot from a hundred paces away—truly worthy of Snipe.

"The enemies escaped," All Might said somewhat awkwardly. He was the strongest hero, yet he had failed to keep the enemies behind. It was rather embarrassing when put that way.

However, most of the teachers understood All Might. After all, All Might was no longer what he had once been. Although the secrecy had been handled well, some Professional Heroes had still guessed part of the truth.

At that moment, inside a bar in a certain city.

A purple-black vortex appeared, and Kurogiri returned with Shigaraki Tomura and the Nomu. It was a dimly decorated bar without a single customer.

"It hurts so much." Shigaraki Tomura collapsed onto the floor. "Both my hands and feet were shot. A complete defeat. My subordinates were all taken out instantly. If we hadn't even brought the Nomu back, then there'd be no point in the League of Villains existing."

Shigaraki Tomura took a breath, and his gaze suddenly turned sharp. "Those kids are all strong. U.A. High School truly is a place that cultivates heroes. That boy called Chiffon must be captured."

"And the Symbol of Peace is still alive. That isn't what we were told, is it, Sensei?" Shigaraki Tomura suddenly looked toward the television screen. "And that little brat Chiffon seems to know that Sensei exists. He even knows about All For One!"

"I understand. However, you are still being too optimistic. You underestimated them too much. Fortunately, we chose a cheap name like League of Villains for the group. That aside, what about the other two Nomu, the joint works of this old man and Sensei? Were they not recovered?"

"Those two Nomu seem to have been killed by a boy called Chiffon—the little brat Shigaraki Tomura mentioned," Kurogiri replied truthfully.
