The Tickets

Inside the police station, the moon is bright and the stars are few.

"All routes have been blocked and searched, but Shigaraki hasn't been found. It seems the League of Villains' Kurogi, with his Quirk Kurogiri, is helping him. He won't be easily caught." Inspector Tsukauchi handed tea to a slightly hunched blond man in front of him. "Shigaraki's appearance at the shopping mall indicates one thing: the League of Villains' base might be near Shibuya. We, the police, will intensify our search."

"Thank you for your help, officer." The blond man took the teacup, his voice somewhat heavy.

"This is just what we police should do. Besides, as Symbol of Peace, you must have a heavy burden," Inspector Tsukauchi sighed. "According to Midoriya, the League of Villains seems to consider defeating you, the Symbol of Peace, as their top priority. Don't spend all your energy rescuing people every day. Your own safety is the most important thing. After all, the people still have us."

"While we were talking, someone was injured and collapsed somewhere in the world. I wanted to save everyone. Although I was unwilling, I am, after all, just one person, and I can only care about what is happening in front of me."

The blond man, who looked like an old man nearing the end of his life, suddenly had even brighter blue eyes, like flickering blue flames. "Just as Tomura Shigaraki said, a large part of people's ability to smile is because the 'Symbol of Peace' shines like a beacon. Therefore, I should laugh heartily and use my smile to tell the world, 'I have arrived.'"

Inspector Tsukauchi looked up at the chandelier above. "The brighter the light, the larger the shadows. I know you want to save others, but shouldn't you consider leaving U.A. High School.? After all, fighting evil is our adult business; those children have suffered so many undeserved calamities."

The blond man was taken aback. "Leave? But I've only been a teacher for three months."

"Haha, that's why I said this job isn't suitable for you."

Tsukauchi Tsukachi laughed heartily, picked up a dart from the table, and threw it at the blackboard covered with various intelligence reports. "This time, we absolutely have to catch AllForOne!"

"Yes, definitely!"

Minoru Mineta.

"Kaminari, look, this is the job I found for the two of us!" Minoru Mineta opened an email with a smug look on his face.

Kaminari leaned closer to the computer and read the English email with some difficulty, "The luxury cruise ship Voyager, departing from Tokyo Port to the floating city of IIsland, will depart on July 4th. Your application has been approved. Please report to the office with your identification by 5 PM on July 3rd. You will receive brief training to meet the company's requirements."

Below this email are the personal information of Kaminari and Minoru Mineta.

Kaminari read it twice in disbelief, then shook Minoru Mineta's shoulder and shouted, "Hey, when did you do this? I didn't submit a resume!"

Minoru Mineta, basking in Kaminari's excited gaze, tossed his hair with a smug look. "Thank me! I sent out resumes for you and me two weeks ago, and we finally got a reply on the day of the final exams. As expected of U.A. High School., I didn't have high hopes, but when I specifically included our information about the U.A. High School. Hero Course, they decisively chose us!"

Kaminari said with some annoyance, "Is this the part-time job you were talking about that you'd never regret? I've never worked as a waiter before!"

"Idiot, being a waiter isn't the point!" Minoru Mineta jumped up and smacked Kaminari head without any politeness. "I've already contacted the manager of the Voyager, and they said we only need to do things like helping with cleaning and serving dishes. We're U.A. High School. students, we have special privileges! We can move around freely outside of work hours, we just need to help stop some disputes between tourists."

"What does this mean?" Kaminari was a little confused.

Minoru Mineta grinned like a pervert. "This means we can see countless girls in swimsuits, and we can openly look at them under the pretext of worrying about them getting into trouble without being called a pervert or a creep!"

"This is our paradise!" Minoru Mineta thought, his nose bleeding as he conjured the image. "And maybe some girls will even ask me to apply sunscreen and then we'll have some intimate contact, hehehehe."

"Big Sister" Kaminari had already pictured himself resting his head on the lap of a gentle older sister, and a perverted smile crept across his face. "Mineta, you really are my best friend!"

Kaminari couldn't wait for that day to come!

Jilan used a utility knife to cut open the tape, revealing the tightly wrapped box. He removed the foam board, and the first thing he noticed was the woman's hands clasped together in front of her—white and delicate, so beautiful that just looking at them could arouse a desire within him, making it impossible to look away.

Fortunately, Jilan's desire wasn't that strong right now. He shook his head, pulled his attention away from his hands, and began to grope around. Soon, he found a pure black rectangular box under the back of the woman's head.

The box was flat, and Jilan opened it to reveal its contents.

There are three tickets.

The two tickets were for the Voyager, which were anonymous. The person who bought them did not need to show any identification. If someone used the ticket, they only needed to verify their identity on the spot. No one could find out where the ticket came from, and no one would ask such an inappropriate question.

These tickets are often used by people who do not want to reveal their identity online, as well as by wealthy individuals and businessmen who find the process troublesome.

These anonymous tickets are quite expensive, costing three to four times the price of a regular ticket, and they are limited in quantity, meaning they are only available at a price.

There was also a ticket for the press conference, which indicated the time and location, and listed the holder as Mr. Jojo.

It seems Dark Shadow really went all out this time; just how attractive are the exhibits?

According to Jilan's message in an anonymous chat room on the dark web, Dark Shadow invited fifty members to receive the same tickets as herself, and another one hundred and fifty tickets were sold at a high price on the website, and were quickly snapped up.

Jilan was already hesitating about whether or not to attend the press conference.

However, since the other party had given him two boat tickets for free, he couldn't refuse their kindness.

"IIsland" is a huge artificial floating city, home to more than 10,000 academics from all over the world. It is a true "hope for mankind" and has been closed off for a long time, making it an isolated island.

In a few days, the island will host the "IEXPO" expo, allowing visitors to tour this city of the future, see their research findings, and sign commercial contracts with companies.

Countless wealthy individuals and executives of large corporations flock to this place; for them, it is a treasure trove.

Jilan was naturally very interested in this place, after all, it represented the future.
