Showdown

"Our operation this time is covert. We have evacuated the residents in the vicinity beforehand. The enemy is still in a completely sealed room, unaware of our presence..."

A man engulfed in flames sat on a sofa, arms crossed, and snorted as if annoyed, "Honestly, why should I clean up U.A. High School.'s mess?"

Inspector Tsukauchi, who was speaking, stopped. "I'm sorry, Endeavor, we can't contact other Pro Hero in society in a high-profile manner regarding this matter. You are a graduate of U.A. High School, and also the father of Shoto Todoroki, a student involved in this case. I think it's better to contact you."

"Hehe... You said you didn't want to, but you still obediently came here for the war meeting, didn't you?" The Mount Lady chuckled to the Kamui Woods beside her.

"Hmm?" Endeavor heard the Mount Lady's whispers and shifted his icy gaze. "Newcomer, what did you say?"

"Ew!? How terrifying!" The Mount Lady couldn't help but shudder.

Kamui Woods stood up abruptly, pressed the Mount Lady's head towards Endeavor, and bowed to him himself. "I apologize, senior. She is young and ignorant. I apologize for her inappropriate words and actions!"

"Hmph, I'm not one to argue with juniors." Endeavor said, then frowned and said to Tsukauchi, "I have no objection to you sending Kamui Woods, but this ignorant girl isn't even in the top 100 on the rankings. What can she do here, put on a show?"

"He said he wouldn't hold it against me, but in the blink of an eye he's trying to cause me trouble. What a petty old man..." the Mount Lady thought to herself.

"Endeavor, let me explain."

Tiger, Mandalay, and Ragdoll opened the door. After nodding to Inspector Tsukauchi, Tiger said, "Besides the Pro Hero, many police officers are also involved in this operation. In addition to the enemy base, we will split into two groups to attack another enemy stronghold. They will work with Mount Lady to blockade and destroy the target."

Mount Lady's Quirk is Gigantification, making her even more adept at destroying buildings than Godzilla. Of course, she also incurs a lot of bills for her destruction.

Endeavor's expression softened somewhat. He wasn't unreasonable; as long as the Mount Lady was effective in the operation, he wouldn't target her. Of course, he wasn't targeting any one person, but everyone present. If even one person was slacking off or putting on a show, he would speak out bluntly.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere ease, Inspector Tsukauchi looked around at the various Pro Hero in the room and smiled, "I believe that with everyone here, this operation will be a complete success."

All the Pro Hero are now present in the war council room.

Endeavor, Quirk "Hellflame," is ranked second on the Pro Hero Ranking, representing the pinnacle of Pro Hero.

Kamui Woods Superman and powerful new generation hero Quirk is "Arbor," which allows him to transform various parts of his body into tree branches and rapidly increase their size.

The Mount Lady, Quirk "Gigantification," can transform into a giant tens of meters tall. Although she ranks relatively low overall, she is quite well-known among certain audiences.

The Best Jeanist, Quirk "Fiber Master," can manipulate fibers at will and ranks fourth on the Pro Hero leaderboard.

Edgeshot, with the Quirk "Foldabody," can make his body as thin as paper. Through training, he can stretch his body at supersonic speeds, to the point of cutting through concrete as easily as cutting tofu. He is ranked fifth on the leaderboard.

Gran Torino, Quirk "Jet," can propel himself through the air by Jet air from his feet. He was a teacher at U.A. High School and served as Midoriya's mentor during his Work-Study Program.

Gang Orca, with the quirky Quirk Orcinus, is capable of anything Orcinus can do, consistently ranking among the top three most villainous Pro Hero. He recently gained wider recognition due to a series of GIFs popping up in the lower right corner of web pages.

Tiger, Mandalay, and Ragdoll need no further introduction. They came to rescue Tokoyami and fulfill their promise to Jilan. They are among the few Pro Hero who volunteered to come.

The American Shorthair's Quirk isn't suited for urban environments, and since her injuries hadn't healed, she didn't come.

The last person, undoubtedly number one, the most powerful instigator of this operation, All Might.

All Might stood beside Tsukauchi with his familiar smile, giving Tsukauchi a sense of security that "as long as he's there, this operation is guaranteed to succeed."

"The phone is ringing--"

Suddenly, a cell phone rang. All Might's smile remained unchanged as he pulled his phone from his inner pocket, "Excuse me, everyone, I need to take this call."

"Remember to mute your phone during meetings!" Gran Torino complained. "I've reminded you so many times, but you never change this habit."

"After all, we can't miss an important call," All Might said, waving his hand as he stepped out of the room, his expression instantly turning serious.

"Jilan, how's the situation on your end?"

"All Might, don't worry, I'm following behind Midoriya and the others. We've arrived in Yokohama City, but we're still a distance from Kamino Ward." Jilan Jiyu watched the group enter a clothing store, paused, and then spoke into the phone, "They seem to feel their clothes are more noticeable at night, so they went into a store to buy some. What about you? Are you ready?"

All Might breathed a sigh of relief, "Jilan, it's best to have you with them. This operation is different from usual; we can't let Midoriya others act on their own."

Jilan sighed and said softly, "Yes... after all, we might very well run into AllForOne this time."

Allforone, a taboo title like "Voldemort," hidden in dusty books and circulated as an urban legend, was now being mentioned by Jilan to All Might.

That's right, Jilan confronted All Might.

Let's rewind to half a day earlier, to the interview room at U.A. High School.

"Young Jilan, what brings you to me at this hour?"

At this moment, All Might had already received news that Tsukauchi was heading to Kanagawa Prefecture. He had packed his things and was ready to leave when he received a call from Jilan, who said he wanted to have a meeting with him.

All Might valued his student Jilan highly, vaguely sensing that he had a hidden side, but out of trust for his student, he didn't delve into it, after all, everyone has their own secrets. Although he was anxious, he still set aside some time to receive Jilan.

Jilan took a small sip of tea, looking directly at All Might: "I'll be blunt, has your Quirk weakened? Have you suffered irreversible damage...? Is your successor Izuku Midoriya?"

Yes, Jilan confronted All Might. He had intended to gather more information and obtain more accurate intelligence before taking action, but there was no longer much time for him to meticulously calculate step by step.

According to Occam's Razor, entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily. Instead of making so many guesses, it's more direct to ask the parties involved.

All Might wasn't caught off All Might by Jilan's barrage of questions; he had actually anticipated it. He put down his teacup and sighed softly, "Jilan, when did you find out?"

"All Might, aren't you surprised?" Jilan was surprised. He thought his questions would make All Might panic, but he didn't expect him to be so calm.

"Why should I be surprised?" All Might asked with a smile. "Because I already knew I couldn't hide this kind of thing for long."
