Shigaraki's idea was simple: Jilan Jiyu was still staying at U.A. High School. because what he had done in Hosu City hadn't been exposed yet. As long as he forcibly dragged him back to the base, pried his mouth open in various ways, or drew a vial of blood from him and had that perverted woman who had recently joined the organization impersonate Jilan and cause trouble, would he still have a chance to stay at U.A. High School.?

When the whole society begins to condemn him, there is only one place he can go: the League of Villains. This way, he can fulfill his teacher's request, psychologically damage U.A. High School All Might, and also reduce some obstacles for the future... killing two birds with one stone!

Shigaraki's idea was brilliant, and if it succeeded, that kind of ending was very likely to occur. However, there was one thing he hadn't considered: he might not actually be Jilan's match.

Thump!

Shigaraki's body slammed heavily against the external air conditioner. He instinctively curled up and couldn't help but gag, coughing.

Jilan withdrew his fist, which was gleaming with golden light, and sighed, "Shigaraki, before you made your move, did you recall one fact? Your Quirk 'Decay' is useless against me."

Several months ago, Jilan had tried to catch his hand with his head, which confirmed that his Quirk was also immune to Hamon. Shigaraki really doesn't learn his lesson.

When fighting Shigaraki, others must dodge his palms, otherwise the skin touched will instantly crack, and if the contact lasts too long or directly touches the head, neck, heart, or other areas, the opponent will turn into dust.

This is a very powerful ability; even Shota Aizawa couldn't avoid getting hurt.

But Jilan had no such concerns. Hamon could make him immune to his abilities and enhance his physical strength, allowing Jilan to avoid being constantly restrained by his palms.

Moreover, Jilan's Killer Queen is far superior to Shigaraki's "Decay." It can detonate the opponent at any time by touching any joint, killing them silently. Shigaraki, on the other hand, needs to touch the opponent's weakness to achieve a one-hit kill.

In every aspect, Jilan completely surpasses Shigaraki.

"I was so excited I almost forgot, you completely outmaneuver me." Shigaraki seemed unfazed by the anger, calmly wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. "The teacher was right after all; only by winning you over can the plan proceed smoothly."

The latter part of Shigaraki's voice was very soft, and Jilan did not hear it.

Jilan clenched his fist, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "Shigaraki, something suddenly occurred to me. If I were to capture you now, wouldn't your League of Villains' plan to target All Might be completely ruined? After all, you're the most crucial link in that chain."

That's right, while Shigaraki was eyeing Jilan was also eyeing him.

Originally, Jilan only wanted to take advantage of seeing Shigaraki to see if she could extract any information from him. But now she thought, if she captured Shigaraki or killed him directly with Killer Queen, wouldn't Dio be forced to take matters into his own hands without a henchman?

There's one thing that Jilan isn't entirely sure about: whether Killer Queen will work on Shigaraki.

As mentioned before, Jilan's Killer Queen is ineffective against people with supernatural abilities.

Quirk are categorized into different types, such as Alien Type, Enhancement Type, and Superpower Type, and also into "single" and "composite" types. Characters like Todoroki and Yaoyorozu belong to the Superpower Type, and Killer Queen is ineffective on them when they are conscious. Jilan guessed that Shigaraki should also belong to the Superpower Type, and cautiously refrained from using it on him.

Shigaraki's physical abilities weren't particularly high; his speed was comparable to Mr. Aizawa's, but he probably hadn't experienced much physical trauma growing up, resulting in poor physical resistance. Just now, he was hit in the stomach by "Hamon Overdrive" and immediately started gagging.

Just as Jilan was about to rush forward and deliver the final blow with "Sunlight Yellow Hamon Overdrive", a dark purple Warp Gate suddenly appeared in front of Jilan, gradually turning into Kurogiri.

Kurogiri bowed to Jilan: "Jilan, we meet again. Please show mercy to Shigaraki."

Kurogiri... As expected, Dio wouldn't let himself be easily defeated by Shigaraki.

Jilan sighed, Hamon dissipated from her hand, indicating that she would not attack again.

"Thank you." Kurogiri turned her back to Jilan without any defenses, then turned to Shigaraki, who was slowly getting up, and said, "Shigaraki, do you know how much trouble you've caused this time? What will happen if the police catch you?"

"Enough with the nagging." Shigaraki seemed impatient with the Kurogiri. "You have no right to stop me from doing what I want. Just focus on your Warp Gate's job and don't let me down at crucial moments."

"Shigaraki, I know you're impatient with those newcomers. Even if they came with the Hero Killer, they were recommended to us by Giran, and they're people your partners with the master's Giran approval." Kurogiri's voice was somewhat heavy. "How can you accomplish the great task the master entrusted to you if you just leave like this?"

"..." Shigaraki paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed. "Don't worry, Kurogiri, I already know how to deal with those newcomers. I'll make good use of the Hero Killer legacy. I have to thank those U.A. High School. students for this. I can already see that despairing future, hahaha!"

Kurogiri stared at Shigaraki, who had suddenly come back to life, and paused for a couple of seconds before saying, "Shigaraki, in short, my master wants to see you now. Come back with me; the police will be able to Search this place soon."

"Ah, it seems we have no choice but to go back." Shigaraki walked up to Jilan, a sickly smile still on his face. "Jilan, do you want to come back with us now, and rebel against this flawed world together?"

Shigaraki and Kurogiri didn't deliberately avoid talking to Jilan; they seemed to have already considered Jilan as one of their own.

They didn't reveal anything substantial, only things that Jilan already knew or guessed. However, Jilan was somewhat Giran had actually returned to the League of Villains with his exceptional skills and audacity; Ji Jilan had assumed he had already gone to sea.

Kurogiri also said to Jilan, "Jilan, I believe the League of Villains is the most suitable place for you, and my master also wishes to meet you."

Dio wants to see me... Jilan shuddered. Although he had just analyzed that Dio probably didn't crave his body, he was still reluctant to face this big boss directly. What if Jilan implanted Flesh Bud in him without saying a word?

"No, at least not now," Jilan Jiyu said calmly. "You can go. I won't tell U.A. High School. or the police anything about you."

Shigaraki scoffed, "Haha, someone like you actually dares to dream of becoming a hero?"

Jilan didn't reply, and Shigaraki, feeling bored, waved at the Kurogiri: "Let's go."

Kurogiri bowed again to Jilan: "Jilan, our League of Villains will always welcome you."

"Hey, why are you all treating me like a villain? Even though I think my disguise was pretty successful, it still makes me uncomfortable to see you all so convinced." Jilan watched the Warp Gate disappear before her eyes and sighed softly. "Being a hero is hard to say, but at the very least... I don't want to be a bad guy."
