65 Plan and Shockwaves

As I stood in front of Shigaraki and Kyudai's lab experiment, I couldn't help but let my mind wander off for a second.

I had thought the Nomu would've been stronger than that. I guess I should properly temper my expectation when it comes to fighting. If I don't hold back it's impossible to have an enjoyable fight.

The Nomu by itself wouldn't even have been able to pressure a tired All Might without the help of Kurogiri's warp gate.

Now that I think about it, Kurogiri is also a Nomu. He shouldn't be dead yet. But he shouldn't be in any state to use his quirk.

Regardless of that, Shigaraki is the only one I need. He will make for good bait to drag All for One out of his man-cave. All for One is a big fish to catch.

The whole point of me attending this raid was to make sure my colleagues don't get hurt and to capture Shigaraki. All for One is most likely to show himself when they escort him to prison.

Tartarus is still under renovations, they are still overhauling everything about its security systems. So I guess he will be incarcerated elsewhere. But I will be part of the escort. Without the knowledge of anyone.

But this isn't a perfect plan.

There is also the possibility that All for One stops caring about his pupil. If I remember correctly he had always been a selfish individual. If he doesn't come to get Shigaraki I'll have to raid his hideout.

I still don't like the idea, even though I should be able to both kill him and destroy the hideout in less than half a second. It's simply the unease of knowing that he can steal my quirk.

That's also one of the reasons why I want him gone. I don't plan on incarcerating him, at least I don't think it's feasible. He already orchestrated a mass breakout from Japans best max security prison.

From what I know he can only see with an infrared vision quirk. So he shouldn't even be able to see me if I turn myself into light and match the intensity and temperature of the one from the sun.

But he still has a lot of quirks that I'm unaware of. He wouldn't take quirks if they were weak. So I can assume all of them are at least decent, and likely powerful when combined.

If I need to resort to a raid I must also inform the proper authorities. I can't treat this one like I did the one at Shie Hassaikai. All Might will likely want to take part in it as well.

Well, back to the present. I'll think about buts and maybes later.

Releasing a sigh I looked at the villain in front of me. He was violently scratching his neck out of frustration.

"YOU'RE CHEATING. THIS ISN'T FAIR!!" He started screaming and thrashing around. The Nomu stood in its place completely motionless. It isn't a conscious living being anymore, it only moves on the orders of a brattish villain...

"Well, life isn't fair," I said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"T-this was supposed to be me introducing the League of Villains on a wide stage and getting rid of the Symbol of Peace... It's all your fault." He looked a bit calmer, but his mood is spiking around confusingly. Regardless, the hatred in his tone was still palpable.

"That's a lame name. Did you come up with it?" He seemed to get angrier with every word that came out of my mouth. His anger overcame his fear completely, he seemed to be throwing a tantrum now.

"If I go down... I'll take a few kids with me..." He said under his breath. Yeah sure, forget I'm here...

"NOMU! KILL THE STUDENTS" It was so loud even the students above could hear it. The command he gave might have startled a few students. The amount of hatred this guy is capable of should be enough to scare an inexperienced hero, let alone a student.

He quickly tried rushing me, completely forgetting the uselessness of his quirk when fighting me. The desperation and delusion were clearly clouding his mind. I didn't even bother with him.

The Nomu was already in front of the teachers. But travelling such distances is instant for me. So I just appeared in front of it and kicked it down the stairs. The kick created a shockwave so great that it launched all of the students and teachers backwards.

The boom itself was so loud that it shook the entire building.

The Nomu shot to the ground with inhuman speeds, creating a crater so big that it segmented the earth beneath it. The force that the Nomu hit the ground with created another shockwave that pushed every unconscious villain away.

The fountain square was unrecognizable before, now there was nothing left of it.

I had created a way for me to use my speed in fights without actually injuring myself. It involved covering my leg in Poor-Man's Armament and kicking at the maximum speed I can control.

The whole point is that I need to turn my leg into light before the impact reached it. It takes a lot of control, which is why I was apprehensive in using it before awakening. This way I could replace my leg with a light construct before the impact reached my leg.

It was a complicated technique, I wanted to try it out on the Nomu before putting it into practice against All for One.

I quickly reached the students. "Are you guys all right?" I had underestimated the strength of the shockwave that would appear when using that technique. It had flung them back pretty far.

Iida was missing, I can only guess that they sent him to alert the others in the beginning. With Bakugo here getting rid of the door shouldn't have been an issue.

"Be more considerate idiot!" The soft-spoken and well mannered Thirteen was really angry with me.

The students looked dumbfounded by the scene. Thirteen had just scolded me after I just took out an army of villains.

Although they probably don't yet understand how right she is. Heroes need to mind their surroundings when fighting, especially those with powerful quirks.

Damaging the ground in this place is ok, Cementoss can always fix it up instantly. But I should've paid more attention to them.

I didn't think shockwaves would be this difficult to control. I think All Might had this problem too when he first became a hero. And since I usually fight using lasers and constructs shockwaves aren't something I'm used to.

Which is why I wanted to test this move out on the Nomu. With its shock absorption and regeneration, it shouldn't die instantly.

"Sorry..." I said, looking around a bit. Aizawa also looked at me weirdly. I shrugged and jumped back down.

Where Nomu was once again recovering and Shigaraki was panicking. He was once again, raving about how unfair this situation was.

I sighed a bit, quickly knocking Shigaraki out and leaving him on the ground. The Nomu also stopped responding after it's master was taken out of the picture.

I was hoping to fight the Nomu for a bit longer. But Shigaraki was starting to get on my nerves.

That's the first part of my plan done...
