The Hero Killer Stain and Uraraka Shige's Convictions

After that, the U.A. High School. Sports Festival came to a successful conclusion.

However, Uraraka Shige is destined not to see that scene... at least not on live television.

Just after Uraraka Shige watched the mounted combat for a while, Kurogiri suddenly received a communication from Shigaraki. As if receiving some instruction, she quickly teleported Shigaraki over and then quickly teleported herself away, leaving the base.

"U.A. High School Sports Festival?"

After Shigaraki sat down, his gaze turned to the television, but after only a few glances, he suddenly became impatient.

"Ah... they don't seem to care about our last invasion at all... and they're just going to carry it out like this..."

That's what he said, but he didn't actually mean for Uraraka Shige turn off the TV.

After all, Uraraka Shige brought her 'father' back, which was very important to her. In addition, Uraraka Shige was able to escape 'USJ' on his own after they left and return to the quarry base in the suburbs, which also proved his own ability.

Therefore, at least in his attitude towards Uraraka Shige, Shigaraki has become somewhat better.

Besides, to be honest, he was somewhat interested in the U.A. High School. Sports Festival. After all, he remembered that when he invaded 'USJ', the group of students who were taking classes there should have been the students of First-Year Class A.

Although this time was different from the original story, Shigaraki did not meet the protagonist of the original story or Midoriya's classmates. However, after their invasion of 'USJ' and their eventual failure, the fact that none of the students in First-Year Class A were harmed remains unchanged.

Therefore, Shigaraki naturally became interested in the students who could hold out against his 'comrades' for a long time, even defeating the 'enemies' of that 'rabble' without suffering any harm themselves.

This live broadcast of the U.A. High School. Sports Festival was a great way for him to understand the power these students possessed.

The reason Shigaraki felt impatient was simply because he felt a little frustrated seeing U.A. High School. hold the Sports Festival as usual, which made him act a bit willfully.

The horse-riding competition being broadcast live on television didn't last long before a winner was decided. As before, Ochaco performed admirably in this segment. Due to her significantly improved 'Quirk' compared to the original story, she reduced the weight of everyone's clothing at the start of the horse-riding battle. Later, she even used her 'Quirk' to snatch two headscarves, adding some points to her team.

Although compared to Midoriya's staggering ten million points, it's nothing at all...

Afterwards, Uraraka Shige and Shigaraki were unable to continue watching the live stream, because right after they saw the horse riding contest conclude, Kurogiri returned to the bar base once again through her 'Quirk'.

Accompanying him was a hunched figure, with a dagger and a knife strapped to his ribs and back respectively. His hair looked extremely messy, and the red scarf and the white cloth strip used to conceal his true identity over his eyes were hastily tied in a knot, with the back half fluttering freely.

Overall, he's someone who seems both somewhat sloppy and quite unrestrained.

But if you look into his eyes, that assessment will instantly change, because through his eyes anyone can understand that this person possesses an extremely strong obsession... or rather, a powerful belief.

This person is none other Stain, the 'Hero Killer' who has been frequently appearing in the news recently.

At the same time, he is exactly the kind of 'thought criminal' that All Might described in the original work, with eyes like burning flames.

"So that's how it is. You're the U.A. High School. raiders. So, you mean you want me to join you?"

Stain stared expressionlessly at Shigaraki. After appearing at this bar, he only needed a moment to observe before recognizing the respective positions of Uraraka Shige, Kurogiri, and Shigaraki within the market.

Shigaraki also turned around and looked at Stain.

"Ah~ please, you villainous senior~"

Shigaraki tilted his head, looking completely nonchalant, as if he didn't take Stain seriously at all.

This is understandable, given that Shigaraki is still completely self-centered. Having experienced a failure with All Might, and before he has grown much, he harbors a deep, almost completely twisted hatred for All Might. Apart from All Might, his teacher 'AFO,' and his 'partners' who help him achieve his goal of eliminating the 'Symbol of Justice,' he can hardly take anyone else seriously.

Therefore, it is not surprising that he treated Stain this way.

Stain's feelings about Shigaraki's attitude were unclear; in any case, his face remained expressionless, showing no reaction whatsoever... Perhaps he truly didn't care about Shigaraki's attitude?

After all, his belief was so firm that he was prepared to dedicate his entire life to it and to strive to realize it.

In this situation, it can be said that he had no other personal thoughts or considerations other than realizing his beliefs.

What was that name again?

Martyrs?

Perhaps this title truly aptly describes this 'Hero Killer'?

Although his beliefs may not be correct, his persistence and steadfastness in upholding them are absolutely commendable.

To be honest, Uraraka Shige is a selfish person, but at the same time, he is also someone who deeply admires others...

What he admires most is precisely this kind of person who has their own principles.

Whether in his past life or this one, he has always firmly believed that the most important thing for a person to live a long life is to have something to hold onto.

Regardless of whether what you insist on is right or wrong, the most important thing is to have something to hold onto. In this way, you won't have come into this world in vain, and you won't have lived a wasted life.

And the luckiest of all was that he was such a person, because the one thing that Uraraka Shige insisted on and firmly believed in never wavered until the moment he died in his previous life, and it remains so to this day.

Therefore, perhaps in some ways, he and Stain some common ground and topics?

For example, how to hold onto beliefs that are not accepted by others until death...
