Inspector Tsukauchi

"Name."

"Jilan Jiyu"

"Identity."

"Students of 1-Class A, Hero Course U.A. High School"

Jilan Jiyu are currently being questioned at the police station. Since the police already knew what had happened that day, questioning Jilan was just a routine matter.

Every student in Class A was questioned yesterday. In addition to inquiring about what happened, a psychologist observed each student's mental state in the adjacent monitoring room to check if they had developed any psychological trauma.

However, Jilan only rushed over this morning after receiving a message from All Might. The police officer in charge of questioning him seemed to be an old acquaintance of All Might, and was pushed into the interrogation room after only a brief encounter with All Might.

Overall, the interrogation process was fairly pleasant, ending with a question-and-answer session.

"Thank you for your report, Jilan." Inspector Tsukauchi gestured for the officer next to him to close his notebook. He stood up and shook hands with Jilan Jiyu. "I believe your report will definitely help in locating the enemy."

"The League of Villains..." Jilan Jiyu said calmly, "Finding their location would be like finding a needle in a haystack. I've only recounted my experiences; it won't change anything, will it?"

Inspector Tsukauchi chuckled and said, "No, that's not it. We interrogated the enemies who attacked U.A. High School. overnight, and most of them have criminal records with the police. I'm sure the enemy will reveal their whereabouts under investigation."

The police are really efficient... no, it's probably because the authorities are taking this case too seriously.

The fact that a prestigious school that nurtures heroes was invaded by the enemy, even though they were repelled, was still an event that made the entire leadership lose face.

"Anyway, Jilan, you can leave now. School's closed today, so you can relax a bit."

Inspector Tsukauchi —no, he should be called Inspector— Jilan Jiyu noticed the name tag on his chest and was somewhat surprised.

It's quite rare to see someone who looks to be under 30 years old holding the rank of police inspector. In Japan, a country with a strict class system, even with excellent performance, it usually takes until one is in their thirties or forties to be promoted from a junior patrol officer to a police inspector.

Then... there is another possibility: that this police officer, Tsukauchi, is a police academy student who passed the national civil service exam and was able to get the position of police inspector right after graduation. He only needs less than two years of study and practice to be promoted to police inspector.

Furthermore, based on the completely unguarded conversation between him and All Might, which resembled that of friends, Jilan Jiyu could conclude that this Inspector Tsukauchi might be the communication bridge between the government and All Might, the "Symbol of Peace."

This is natural. Even the number one ranked hero, if not under the government's supervision, can only be considered a traitor, an entity hostile to the country.

In this hero society, even heroes are under surveillance. No one can be certain that their immense power will not exceed their control and cause harm to the country, and this is especially true for powerful heroes like All Might.

However, it seems that All Might and he get along well, which indicates that the country is currently in a period of stability, and also reflects that they do not take this suddenly emerging "League of Villains" seriously.

Is it really okay to be this relaxed...?

Jilan Jiyu silently worried about this society. They followed Inspector Tsukauchi out of the interrogation room. Outside the door, All Might was sitting in a chair reading a newspaper. When he saw the two of them come out, he immediately closed the newspaper and stood up.

"Tsukauchi- kun, how is Jilan- san doing?"

All Might first looked at Inspector Tsukauchi, and after receiving a slight nod from him, he breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands on his hips, and laughed.

"I knew it..." All Might didn't reveal his worries, but instead crouched down, placing his hands on Jilan Jiyu's shoulders, and said with pride, "Jilan, you did a fantastic job when the enemy invaded! You'll definitely become a Pro Hero!"

All Might had already heard from others about what Jilan Jiyu had done during this crisis—calmly analyzing the situation after eliminating the enemies in his own fire zone, going to reinforce Midoriya while sending Ojiro to the other side, obtaining the important communication device to contact his classmates, and risking his life to save others several times...

You're truly dazzling, young Jilan... Without your knowledge, you actually saved me with your classmates...

All Might had no intention of revealing this matter. He laughed heartily a few times, straightened up, and patted Jilan Jiyu on the shoulder. "Jilan, don't worry, the police and I will definitely find the enemy."

Although the students were unharmed, his friend Aizawa and Thirteen were seriously injured by members of the League of Villains and are currently hospitalized.

As All Might thought this, the blue light in his eyes intensified. "I will make them pay."

As expected, All Might is All Might. Even though he's unreliable most of the time and sometimes cheats in class, he's really reassuring when he's serious...

"By the way, All Might, why don't you go check on that guy called Nomu?" Inspector Tsukauchi suddenly suggested. "That guy hasn't said a word since he was locked up, he hasn't revealed any information, and he hasn't even eaten."

"Is that so..." All Might thought for a moment, then said to Jilan Jiyu, "Jilan boy, would you like to come with me to take a look?"

"Me... okay." Jilan Jiyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. To be honest, he was also a little interested in that guy with multiple Quirk.

"Sancha." Inspector Tsukauchi beckoned a policeman over. "Could you please take All Might and this student to the detention center? I have some other things to attend to."

A policeman with a cat-like face and covered in fluffy fur ran over, twitching his ears as he saluted first at Tsukauchi, then at All Might: "Understood, nice to meet you."

All Might laughed, "Sancha- kun, we've met so many times already, don't be so reserved!"

Sancha stood at attention, straightened his back, and shouted loudly, "Etiquette must not be neglected!"

Inspector Tsukauchi interjected with a laugh, "All Might, you probably don't know, but this kid is your fan... If it weren't for his weak Quirk, he would have applied to U.A. High School. too."

"That's truly an honor." All Might smiled and saluted him, revealing his pearly white teeth. "You're dedicated to protecting the people; I'm a fan of yours now!"

"All Might!!" Sancha's eyes lit up, gradually becoming moist.

... Perhaps this is the charm of All Might's personality; it's truly something that makes you want to laugh just watching him.

Jilan unconsciously curled the corners of her mouth into a smile.
