154 Stain? Who is that? 2

"Well, before I start the class."

Aizawa looked at Mineta and said, "Mineta, you should be careful with media next time." If possible, he didn't want Mineta to be exposed to the media, but when he saw his appearance, he felt it was impossible.

Aizawa sighed and thought he was glad to have a normal face, but then again, he had to say that Mineta's speech was great.

Nothing was perfect, but it was proof that a human tried to struggle toward the righteous.

As for whether Stain's action was correct or not, his action to kill 30 heroes or more was wrong, and no one should say that he was right.

Aizawa felt that Mineta had said a good thing and had done a good job, but he wanted him to be careful since when one said wrong words in the media, sometimes it could be their downfall. He had seen many examples and many heroes' careers over because of the wrong choice of words in the media.

"It's okay, Sensei. In the future, I plan to become a prime minister. I know how scary the media can be, but they're useful for a certain occasion."

"....."

Do you really plan to become prime minister?

"I was just joking. You should laugh, you know?"

"Haha...?"

Could they laugh? No.

Because they really felt that this guy could really become a prime minister.

"Whatever..." Aizawa sighed as he rubbed his temple. "Even if you want to become a prime minister, the richest guy on earth, or anything, I don't care. For now, you're my student, and I will teach you to become a respectable hero."

"Yes, yes."

Aizawa's lips twitched, but he said, "Okay, go and change since I want to see your change in the past week."

As for Stain, who was that?

No one paid attention to such an existence except Iida, Midoriya, and Todoroki, who had fought that person during the internship. After all, even if Stain was their opponent, they had to say Stain's belief was something they couldn't help but move.

Even though Iida's brother was hurt by Stain, the three of them had to say Stain was a man worthy of admiration.

However, it was different now since Stain's name was forgotten, and he was just another villain on the street, making the three of them feel that their hard work to fight Stain was pointless.

Yet could they say otherwise?

After all, if they didn't let Stain go, their dear friend wouldn't be hurt. The three of them looked at the wound on Mineta's hand and felt pain in their hand as if they were the one who was hurt.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!"

Shigaraki threw the chair around, feeling furious and annoyed. "Damn that sticky bastard! Damn that lunatic artist! And damn that Hero Killer! Your existence is useless!"

"Calm down, Shigaraki!" Kurogiri was helpless and sighed.

"Yes, calm down, Shigaraki." The voice from the monitor also said.

Hearing his voice, Shigaraki also calmed down, but he also complained, "But Sensei, I have failed again and again! First, USJ! Now, this? That hero-lover lunatic is really useless!" He was a young man, and naturally, he wanted success, yet he had always failed.

When he was on the USJ, he wanted to kill All-Might and end everything, but he didn't even see All-Might, and he was defeated so easily. Even Nomu was defeated by a group of students.

Then the second time, when he wanted to use Stain's influence to build the momentum of the League of Villains, he was suppressed once again by Mineta's speech and the appearance of Hokusai.

How could he not be furious?

"Calm down. You can fail as much as possible, but you need to learn from every failure. Now, can you tell me why you failed this time?" The voice on the monitor said patiently.

"Why did I fail?" Shigaraki looked at the monitor and said, "Naturally, it is that sticky bastard and lunatic artist!" If the two of them didn't appear, his progress would be so smooth.

"Is that so? I think that you have found a chance."

"A chance?" Shigaraki was dumbfounded. "What do you mean, Sensei?"

"Mineta Minoru, while he is the reason why you fail, I think that he can also become your ally."

"Our ally? But that young man plans to kill us!" Kurogiri couldn't help but say. He could feel a chill when he thought about that time since he knew that if they really stayed, Mineta was going to kill them.

"Hahaha, Kurogiri. Isn't that the reason why we should invite him? A hero will try their best not to kill. No matter how severe and horrible the crime of the villain is, a hero will try to catch you instead of killing you, yet he will kill you two without hesitation. He isn't a hero. Instead, I think that he is a monster."

"Monster?" 2x

Not only Kurogori but Shigaraki was also dumbfounded, yet the man on the monitor seemed excited.

"There are many types of monsters in this world. Monsters who will not show themselves and who cause trouble; monsters who abduct children; monsters who devour dreams; monsters who suck blood, and… monsters who always tell lies."

The voice of the man on the monitor was pleasant and nice to hear as if he was telling fairy tales to Kurogiri and Shigaraki.

Yet the two were silent, and they were also intrigued by his story.

"Lying monsters are a real nuisance. They are much more cunning than other monsters. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart. They eat even though they've never experienced hunger. They study even though they have no interest in academics. They seek friendship even though they do not know how to love."

"You mean... he is a lying monster?"

"That's right!" The man on the monitor seemed happy when he heard Shigraki's answer. "To be honest, if I don't meet you first, I might want him to become my inheritor and disciple."

"....." Shigaraki and Kurogiri.

"In front of the public, he can be righteously like an angel who is coming from heaven, but when no one is around, he will become a devil that will destroy any enemies in front of him. He is dangerous. Yes, but there is a chance for you to have a strong ally."

Shigaraki didn't deny this since he could somehow feel Mineta and his teacher were the same kinds of people.

"Then, what do I need to do?"

"Well, let's talk about him later since you need to catch him first before we can talk."

"That's true."

Yet, could they catch him?

Impossible.

They had already seen how cruel Mineta was.

Shigaraki and Kurogiri were sure if Nejire and Ryukyu didn't jump to stop Mineta, Stain would be killed. They could see that in his eyes, Stain was nothing but a dying bug on the street. His eyes were so cold that they sent a shiver through their bodies. If they did something to him or the people they cared about, they were sure that this lunatic would do his everything to bring them down, chasing them to the end of the earth and torturing them until they died.

"Now then, the second is Hokusai."

"Hokusai..."

When they thought about this name, they had a complicated mood. Without a doubt, Hokusai was a powerful villain, and he could become the greatest ally. Yet, Shigaraki had a hard time liking him since Hokusai was the reason why Stain's influence was suppressed and even almost disappeared in public.

"Hokusai is a new villain. He only came out after the video of Stain was released. In other words, he might be influenced by Stain."

"...then, Sensei?" Shigaraki was dumbfounded.

"Yes, you're about to have an extremely powerful ally." The voice of the man on the monitor was so happy. "Stain's influence isn't going to disappear. It is still going on, even if it's suppressed. The numbers might not be much, but those people are people you can trust, so you don't need to worry since you're going to succeed soon, my lovely disciple."
