Target Found

"I know that 'traitor' is a term that no one here wants to mention. Once this term is mentioned, it means that we have fallen into a crisis of trust, a harbinger of collective collapse." Principal Nezu's small eyes flashed with a glint. "But we must face this problem now. We did not inform the students about this forest training camp beforehand. Apart from Pussycats, only we teachers know the exact location."

"No, I don't believe anyone on our team is the traitor." Midnight glanced around at everyone. "'Symbol of Peace' All Might couldn't possibly be the traitor. We're all old partners who know each other inside and out and have worked together for years. There's absolutely no way anyone could be a traitor to the League of Villains of Villains, a new organization."

"And what about the students?" Mic crossed his arms. "In today's society, if any student has a cell phone, their location can be confirmed simply by using their phone's GPS, without even needing to make a call. If any student is a mole, the League of Villains can still get the news in time."

"I trust my students; there is absolutely no traitor among them," Cementoss said in a deep voice. "They are always the ones fighting the League of Villains, yet we still doubt them—that's utterly absurd. I think All Might and Shota Aizawa feel the same way; we trust every single one of our students."

"Then, can you vouch for them?" Principal Nezu gently. "Or rather, can you be 100% certain that you are not the traitor? A traitor may not necessarily take any action; it's also possible that some of their belongings are being used by the enemy for eavesdropping and tracking, causing them to unknowingly play the role of 'traitor.'"

The teachers present exchanged bewildered glances. If that were the case, then each of them was indeed a suspect. In this society of Quirk, no one could guarantee that they hadn't been monitored by someone using their Quirk.

"In that case, we have more targets to choose from," the Snipe pondered. "Izuku Midoriya encountered Tomura Shigaraki at a shopping mall a few days before summer vacation started. Other classmates were there too. Could it be that they were inadvertently targeted by an enemy at some point?"

"A very good idea." Principal Nezu nodded approvingly. "In any case, none of us can clear ourselves of suspicion as the 'traitor,' but I have faith in you all, although even I am not necessarily innocent. Therefore, I think we shouldn't rush the investigation into the traitor."

Principal Nezu continued, "Considering the safety of the students, I've been thinking about something for a while: building a student dormitory so that all the students in the Hero Course can live there. This would allow us to provide comprehensive protection and also help us identify any potential traitors."

"Student dormitories, that's a good idea." Everyone present agreed with this idea.

However, the Ectoplasm raised its concerns. "After Tokoyami's kidnapping incident, public trust in U.A. High School has plummeted to an unprecedented low. I worry that parents might be hesitant to let their children live at U.A. High School., and may even choose to drop them out."

This was indeed a problem that needed to be considered, and everyone fell silent again.

Just then, All Might pushed the door open from the outside, and his booming voice rang out. "The League of Villains' headquarters has been found. It's time to rescue the boy from Tokoyami."

At this moment, All Might has transformed from a 1.5-meter-tall old man into a 2-meter-tall Superman. His muscles bulge, his signature two strands of golden bangs are swept upwards, and the blue flame pupils in his resolute eyes have become even brighter.

"We can discuss this later. Right now, the most important thing is to rescue Tokoyami," Principal Nezu said resolutely, standing up.

Meeting adjourned.

The next day.

Ward at Hero Specialist Private Hospital.

"So, have you reported that to the police?"

Yaoyorozu sat on the bed, leaning against the pillows, her head wrapped in bandages, and whispered to Jilan, who was peeling an apple.

Jilan paused for a moment, then continued slicing, "Yes, I told him. I went to see Inspector Tsukauchi yesterday. He was surprised that you still had that kind of thing. Based on some clues from the police, they have confirmed the location of the League of Villains' headquarters, and they should be taking action in the next couple of days."

When Momo Yaoyorozu Himiko Toga hostage, she used her last bit of willpower to make a gum-shaped tracking device and attached it to Himiko Toga. She woke up once in the ambulance yesterday and told Jilan about this, and made the tracking device and gave it to Jilan to hand it over to the police.

The locator showed the location as Kamino Ward Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture. After Jilan handed it over to Inspector Tsukauchi, he immediately narrowed down the Search area based on the information from the previous investigation, eventually focusing on a small building with a hidden bar and few tenants.

According to Inspector Tsukauchi, two weeks ago, his officers received a rumor during a search that "a man with a patched face walked into the building." Based on the comparison, they were able to confirm that the man was Dabi from the League of Villains of Villains' Vanguard Action Squad, and that the hidden bar was the League of Villains of Villains' stronghold.

Yaoyorozu hesitated for a Yaoyorozu before speaking, "Jilan, there's something I want to tell you."

"What is it?" Jilan peeled the apple and handed it to Yaoyorozu.

Yaoyorozu held the apple in his hand, but instead of eating it, he said, "Todoroki and Kirishima contacted me; they wanted me to make them an extra tracker."

"Do they want to rescue Tokoyami?" Jilan immediately understood Todoroki and the others' thoughts. "For this operation against the League of Villains, Inspector Tsukauchi has gathered All Might, Endeavor, and several other powerful Pro Hero. They will devise a meticulous plan. Todoroki and Kirishima going there would only cause trouble."

"That's what I think too." Yaoyorozu nodded slightly. "But I understand Todoroki and Kirishima's resentment. Tokoyami was captured by the enemy, but they couldn't do anything. That sense of powerlessness has been driving them to do something."

"It's precisely because you feel powerless that you can't do what you can't do. Did you give them the tracker?" Jilan frowned. "I'm the class monitor, and they didn't tell me about this. Don't they know how serious the consequences of acting on their own are?"

"Not yet." Momo Yaoyorozu smiled at Jilan. "Just as Kirishima and the others said, if you had known about this, you definitely wouldn't have allowed them to go. But actually, you're the one who caused the most trouble, aren't you?"

Jilan paused for a moment. "What do you mean by that?"

Yaoyorozu looked down at the apple in her hand, and Jilan followed her gaze to her delicate hand. She was momentarily captivated, but Jilan quickly restrained herself and looked away.
