Impostor

"Jilan, is it alright for you to knock this guy unconscious? Since he was switching shifts with others, someone must have been contacting him, and..." Yaoyorozu hesitated for a moment before saying, "We're students in the Hero Course. Isn't it forbidden to attack someone without a Hero License...?"

"Yaoyorozu, your concerns are valid, but I have considered this. The restroom is at the far end of the building; at his walking speed, it would take him four minutes to get there. Adding the time he spends using the restroom, no one will suspect anything within ten minutes." Hearing Jilan praise him, Yaoyorozu couldn't help but smile with some pleasure, but Jilan continued speaking.

"Yaoyorozu, your idea is correct, but a little too correct." Jilan reached out and took the gun still hanging on the enemy. "You know, the other side is armed. When we could die at any moment, we shouldn't be thinking about the rules, but about how to survive. Midoriya, you and Iida, Todoroki and the others went through the Hero Killer incident, you should know how the government handles this, right?"

Midoriya hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Although our actions violated the rules, if the media finds out about how this was handled, they will publicize it extensively. Under pressure from public opinion, the government will not only erase our punishment but may even award us a medal. But then..."

Jilan continued, "But this would create a misconception in society that 'even non- Pro Hero or police officers can chase down criminals,' leading to more unnecessary sacrifices. To prevent things from turning out this way, you agreed to the police's decision to 'conceal your deeds and cancel your punishment.'"

Iida, Todoroki, and Midoriya all showed signs of wavering. "We didn't discuss this in detail, so why does Jilan know so much about it...!"

"Well, because I've been questioned by the police for the same reason so many times, I'm pretty familiar with this kind of thing." Jilan said casually, glancing at Yaoyorozu, "Also, you forgot one thing, we're now on I-Island where we can freely use our Quirk, there are Pro Hero everywhere here, and before we became Hero Course students, we were just ordinary people innocently caught up in these incidents. It's only natural to rack our brains for ways to survive, right?"

"... I understand." Yaoyorozu was convinced by Jilan and nodded heavily. "Jilan, I will follow your instructions."

Jilan crouched down, removed the magazine from the gun, pulled out a bullet, and examined its structure using the Hamon: "Hmm, it really is a tranquilizer dart. But then again, how could that insider possibly hand over live ammunition to them..."

"Jilan, what are you saying?" Midoriya, somewhat confused.

"It's nothing. I checked the bullets; they're tranquilizer darts, they won't kill anyone. Don't worry, even if the enemy nervously fires at the hostages when we deactivate the alert system, no one will die."

Uraraka made an excited gesture. "This news is really useful! We can act without any worries then!"

"Kaminari, catch!"

Jilan stood up, cocked the gun, and tossed it to Kaminari Ming. Kaminari caught it clumsily, complaining, "Jilan, why did you throw the gun to me? I don't know how to use a gun!"

Minoru Mineta perked up at this, a lewd look on his face, and nudged Kaminari's waist with his elbow. "Who said you can't use it? Don't you often play with guns late at night when it's quiet... Ouch!"

Iida withdrew his hand and said seriously, "Don't make lewd jokes in this serious setting!"

"Wow, I meant Kaminari often plays Rainbow Six Siege at night, and Jilan knows that too. I wasn't making a dirty joke!" Minoru Mineta argued, then suddenly pointed at Iida and shouted, "Oh, I see! You think I'm making a dirty joke, but that's exactly what you're thinking. You're the one making the dirty joke!"

Iida frantically waved his hands. "I didn't! I just...!"

"See, you're feeling guilty!" Minoru Mineta pressed his advantage.

Before Iida could explode in anger, Jiro plugged an earphone into Minoru Mineta's ear to bring him back to his senses. Jiro said with disgust, "Nobody wants to hear you telling dirty jokes right now. Shut up, I can't even hear the Vibrate!"

"I understand..." Minoru Mineta silently shrank back into the corner.

With Minoru Mineta causing trouble, everyone's attention shifted back to Jilan, only to see Jilan taking off the enemy's heavy combat suit. The others looked at him strangely. "Jilan, could it be that you...?"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and come help." Jilan pointed impatiently at the enemy beneath her. "We need someone to disguise themselves, otherwise the enemy will find us."

Kaminari glanced at the gun in his hand, then suddenly realized. "Jilan, do you mean I should disguise myself as this enemy?"

"Otherwise what?"

"Hehe..." Kaminari chuckled twice, hung the gun on his body, and began to help Jilan pull off the man's clothes.

Two minutes later, Kaminari, dressed in full combat gear, picked up his gun and assumed an aiming stance, saying smugly, "How about it? Cool, right?"

"Put on the mask, don't pollute my vision with your stupid face." Jilan put the mask on Kaminari's face and nodded in satisfaction. "You're about the same height as him, so if you don't talk, he shouldn't notice."

Yaoyorozu created ropes to tie up the enemy, who was now only wearing his underwear, and leaned him against the wall, stuffing a strip of cloth into his mouth. Jilan squatted down and glanced at his face, suddenly having a sense of déjà vu.

It seems I've seen him somewhere, just in the last couple of days...

"Jilan, what's wrong?" Midoriya noticed Jilan's movements and asked.

"It's nothing, everything is ready, I think we can proceed with the intrusion," Jilan replied.

Midoriya nodded emphatically, then turned to Melissa: "Melissa, we're going to the control room now. You wait here..."

"No, I want to go with you!" Melissa said unexpectedly to Midoriya. "My father has been kidnapped, and I need to go rescue him!"

"But you have no Quirk..." Midoriya said hesitantly.

Melissa shook her head. "Can any of you restart the security system? I'm a student at the I-Island Research Academy, and I can help with programming. Although I might be a burden to you up to the top level, I still want to help!"

Midoriya paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously. "Then, let's go together to save everyone!"

"But... the control room is on the top floor of this 200-story building. Should we take the stairs?" Jiro asked hesitantly.

"The elevator has been blocked off. This is the only way to get to the upper floors without being seen by them," Melissa explained.

"Ah, that's true. However, I think we should consider the possibility of confronting them head-on." Jilan asked Melissa, "Miss Melissa, do you know which floor has the Quirk equipment? It doesn't need to be at your father's level of scientific expertise; it's fine for you students to practice on."

"I've been to the 50th floor many times; many of my little inventions are stored there." Melissa hesitated after saying this, "Could it be that you want to...?"

Jilan gave a mysterious smile, "Before engaging in battle, it's essential to replenish your equipment; that's common sense in combat."
