"You've entrusted this kind of thing to me..." Jilan Jiyu pondered for a moment, then asked a question that puzzled them, "In the fire zone, did you use the walkie-talkie to report to other areas?"

After Diduo Chengjie nodded without hesitation, Jilan Jiyu smiled and said to Inspector Tsukauchi, "I don't know how much help he gave me, but I can say that without his report, I probably wouldn't have been able to contact my other classmates."

"So that's how it is. So you were the one who reported to the fire zone... No wonder some things didn't match up when I was taking statements from the others..." Inspector Tsukauchi had already pieced together a relatively complete account of events from the testimonies of the other students and criminals. After a moment's thought, he quickly made a decision, "If the enemy hadn't received news of the students being captured in the fire zone, they might not have let their guard down. At the last minute, students from other areas might not have arrived in time, and All Might might have..."

"Cough cough!!"

After All Might's sudden cough, Inspector Tsukauchi said to Kyoka Makoto, "You can take Diduo Chengjie away, but make sure he can get there in time if there are any new developments in this case."

"... I've been released?" Diduo Chengjie looked stunned, still unable to process how things had turned out this way. He had been prepared to spend several years in prison...

"If I don't release you, this guy might tear my police station down," Inspector Tsukauchi said with a rare wit, handing him a certificate. "Sign it. Once you've signed, you can go. Remember to leave a phone number. If you need to leave the city, be sure to report to the police station in advance..."

Just then, Jilan Jiyu saw All Might suddenly tremble and stand up to walk out.

"All Might, is your time up?" Inspector Tsukauchi turned around, looking knowing. "Have you been taking up too much of your time here?"

"It's alright, after all, the Nomu issue has been resolved." All Might turned to Jilan Jiyu and said, "Jilan, you're going to the hospital later, right? Please give my Aizawa -kun and Thirteen. I have to go now."

Jilan Jiyu had no doubts. After all, the fact that someone as busy as All Might had stayed with him for so long already made him feel somewhat apprehensive. He even began to reflect on what he had done wrong to deserve All Might's attention.

After seeing Jilan Jiyu, All Might finally turned his gaze to Kyoka Makoto, and said with a wry smile, "Zhen, although I don't know why you have a problem with me and therefore stopped being Pro Hero, in my heart you will always be that hero who is active in dangerous areas."

Kyoka Makoto glanced at him but didn't say anything. He even stopped Diduo Chengjie, who was about to speak.

Jilan Jiyu no longer needed to stay here. He had originally wanted to hitch a ride with Inspector Tsukauchi, but since he was busy, he had no choice but to take the subway. Fortunately, the nearest subway station wasn't far away, and the rush hour was already over...

After greeting Officer Sancha, Jilan Jiyu left the police station and arrived at the subway station in less than ten minutes.

As Jilan Jiyu were looking at the map and figuring out which stop to get off at, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Actually, I didn't help you at all. I was just an enemy you mercifully spared. Why are you saying that?"

Jilan Jiyu turned around, Diduo Chengjie stood behind them, staring intently at them.

The police didn't give him time to change clothes or take a shower. He was still wearing the same ripped jeans he'd worn before, looking as dirty and disheveled as if he'd rolled around in a garbage dump. He probably ran all the way from the police station after signing the papers, his face still sweating. The office workers and students who passed by him all walked around him with disgust, consciously avoiding this spot that was closest to the next subway train, even if it meant taking a longer route.

However, Diduo was not one to care about such things. Although Jilan Jiyu had a phobia of germs, they did not show it at this moment, and said calmly:

"You said you wanted to perform on stage again, right? I just wanted to hear you play, that's all."

"Is that so...? My benefactor and Brother Zhen both said so, it seems I have no choice but to go on stage..." Diduo muttered to himself, raising his head, his eyes filled with confidence, "I hope you can come to my next concert."

I'm really looking forward to it.

Diduo Chengjie pointed at Jilan Jiyu with one finger, seemed to want to say something but didn't. He took a few steps back, turned around and ran, rushing towards the crowd surging out of the subway entrance. People around him subconsciously made way for him.

"Aren't you going with him?" Jilan Jiyu asked suddenly, watching his retreating figure. "You just rescued him, after all."

Kyoka Makoto emerged from behind the bus stop sign, walked up to Jilan Jiyu and Ji Yu, and stood beside him. Looking at the retreating figures of the Diduo, he sighed, "This is only the second time I've seen Xiaojie with this confident expression. The first time was when our band was formed, and the second time is now..."

"He became like this because of you, I'm very grateful to you." Kyoka Makoto said his thanks in a casual tone, making it hard to feel his sincerity. "Let me give you some advice..."

"If I were you, I would leave U.A. High School. as soon as possible. All Might is no longer your safe haven."

Kyoka Makoto saying this, Xiangtang walked towards the exit, seemingly having come here only to remind Jilan Jiyu. He quickly blended into the crowd and disappeared from sight.

"..." Jilan Jiyu silently followed the crowd onto the subway train that was approaching from a distance, and sat down in a fairly spacious seat. They said softly, "I know this kind of thing without you having to tell me."

In this Superman society, some people with healing Quirk are assigned to work in hospitals after receiving professional training. Such Quirk are not common in ordinary hospitals, but in this hero-specialized private hospital, they make up the majority of the hospital.

There are many students like this in the logistics department of the U.A. High School. They don't have strong Quirk, but they admire heroes, so they come to work at this hospital where they can get close to heroes and where injured heroes are treated. But they only do nursing-type jobs. Most of the doctors in this hospital are still the elite students from prestigious universities.

As everyone knows, the most difficult majors to get into in this country's universities are medical schools. Graduates from there can earn a million-dollar annual salary as soon as they start working. However, apart from well-paid private hospitals, the hospitals that specialize in treating heroes are the most numerous. With advanced medical equipment and the assistance of treating Quirk individuals, they effectively treat the heroes' injuries.

Jilan Jiyu arrived at a hospital that specializes in treating injuries that heroes cannot show to the public—the Hero Specialist Private Hospital.

"Hello, I am a student from U.A. High School. I would like to visit Shota Aizawa and Pro Hero Thirteen in room 505."

The receptionist looked at Jilan Jiyu with some surprise and said, "So you're the student from the U.A. High School's Hero Course who was attacked. I really didn't expect the enemy to be so ruthless, injuring two Pro Hero like this..."

"They were trying to protect us students too," Jilan Jiyu said softly.

"It seems your teachers' efforts haven't been in vain..." The doctor looked at Jilan Jiyu and suddenly smiled, "You might not know, but you're the fourth student to come and visit us today?"

"The fourth one?" Jilan Jiyu were somewhat surprised. Besides themselves, were there other people here?

"There's a student currently visiting," the receptionist said, glancing at the time. "If you're lucky, you might run into her!" She grinned mischievously. "By the way, she's a real beauty! She'd be the perfect match for a handsome guy like you."
