Chapter 47

"You had all of them under control."

"Yes."

"Then they escaped."

"Yes."

"And a 'group' of Nomus appeared through portals."

"Yes."

Nighteye sighed in frustration.

"Sir, I think someone is helping Shigaraki with creating these Nomus. With All for One in prison, it's the only possible explanation. Someone who has done extensive research on quirks and genetics. Someone ruthless enough to have no qualms over experimenting on humans."

The atmosphere was grim in the meeting room.

I continued speaking, "Imagine how many people they must have tortured, maimed and killed in the name of 'science'."

The meeting ended soon as no one could do much about Shigaraki at the moment. I returned to U.A. after being dismissed by Nighteye. My internship with him was over it was time for me to resume classes.

While sitting in my dorm, I was thinking about Shigaraki's escapes.

'That fucker is one slippery bastard. He needs to be stopped. And to achieve that, we need to capture the one helping him by creating the Nomus. It's definitely a scientist who has extensive experience in genetics and bio-engineering. Someone who has done extensive research with quirks. A quirk doctor? And not a young one too. Someone middle aged or on the cusp of becoming a senior citizen.'

I then began searching on the internet. All the quirk doctors in Japan and their research. As expected,there were a lot of them.

'This will be a long research.'

The cultural festival was here.

U.A. surprisingly had normal school events too for a hero training school. Everyone had different suggestions on what the class was going to do on the day of the festival. Suggestions like 'Maid Cafe' and 'Titty Bar' were shot down faster than the speed of light.

'I understand… I totally understand the want to have a Maid Cafe or… even a titty bar given the girls we have in the class… But, damn! You gotta show respect to your fellow classmates! It's good for fantasies and in dreams but don't say stuff like that out loud! That too, in front of Aizawa!'

I had suggested a death metal performance with me screaming my lungs out and strumming crazy riffs on an electric guitar.

They did ask me to demonstrate my singing to see if I could even sing. So, for their soft hearts, I opened my playlist that had the instrumentals for the song I was going to sing for them. 'War' by Linkin Park. By the end of it, Kasturi, Karishma, Sato and Tokoyami were pumping their hands up and screaming with me while the girls were horrified… for such a mellow song… Tch. Girls.

In the end, it was decided that we would be doing a concert and a dance. A concert… a sappy, cheesy and cringe worthy concert. I had wanted to take names and show what my lungs could do with a minute of screamo.

To satiate my bloodlust, it was decided that I would be given a short part in the song that was going to be sung by Jiro while I would be doing my thing… rap. They did put in a stipulation that I was not going to swear or say something dark. It was going to be an uplifting song.

I wracked my brain for days to write a few lines… just a few that did not have me swearing at people. For the rest of the song, I was going to be playing the guitar along with Kaminari.

I visited Eri a few times with Mirio and when I told her about the concert, she promised that she would visit.

Everyone was doing their best. It was refreshing to see something… normal happen for once. No villains after our lives, no evil organisations plotting against the society. It felt… liberating to not think about that.

All until an upstart released a video of them declaring that they will infiltrate U.A.

It soured my mood which caused me to write an angry rap about upstarts and the ass kicking of a lifetime they would be getting.

On the day of the festival, I discovered the rope which was going to be used by Aoyama had chafed off. So, I ran out of the school to buy some new rope before the concert could begin. In my rush to return to U.A., I bumped into a man and a little girl walking down towards the sidewalk from a coffee shop.

I had said that aloud and guessed 'Gold-tips Imperial' to be tea, leading the man to exaggeratedly talking about it. The man's voice was familiar… too familiar. It was the upstart!

As they were about to take their leave, I said, "Wait! Are you the upstart from that routine?"

The man tensed and said, "And who might you be referring to?"

Letting some 'Conqueror's will' leak out, I said, "Whatever you are planning, I suggest that you stop it. Leave U.A. out of your stupid plans."

The man removed his cloak with flair and said to the kid beside him, "La Brava!! Change of plans. From now on, no matter what happens, don't stop filming!"

"Of course, Gentle!"

Bowing at the camera in the kid's hands, he said, "Listeners!! It begins now, the romance of the wonder man!! Watch carefully, for I, the chivalrous thief who will bring salvation, the Gentle Criminal!! Our plans were foiled. So here we a-"

*WOOSH*

A strong wave of 'Conqueror's Will' later…

*Sigh* "Dumbass criminals and their dumbass speeches."

The said criminal was down on the sidewalk, twitching ever so slightly with foam leaving his mouth like that from a champagne bottle.

"Brat, make sure you filmed that."

"What did you do to him?!"

I ignored the kid and called Ectoplasm who replied with a promise for an immediate response.

I looked at the kid who was trying hard to wake the upstart up and said, "It's no use. He won't wake up for hours. Just, surrender when the police and heroes arrive. Hmm.. You know what?"

*WOOSH*

The kid also fell down next to the upstart.

'Better make sure they are captured.'

I looked at the camera that was still rolling and thought for a moment before saying, "You saw that, kids? Being a villain is bad. There's nothing cool about it. Don't be an idiot like these two!"

'Yup! That should do it!'

I returned to U.A. without any further fuss.

It was time for the concert to begin…

"What am I to be?

What is my calling?

I gave up giving up, I'm ready to go

The future's left unseen

It all depends on me

Put it on the line to follow my dream

Yeah

Tried all my life, I've tried to find

Something that makes me hold on and never let go

Ohhhhhhhhh!

Hero too, I am a hero too

My heart is set (my heart is set) and I won't back down

Hero too, strength doesn't make a hero

True heroes (true heroes) stand up for what they believe

So wait and see"

Then, it was my turn…

"Limit yourself to the easy

And the difficult you'll never try

Easy needs live on the fringe of the world

grubbing for nickles and dimes

Claiming that life has dealt a cruel blow

crying: The fault is not mine.

Heroes need training to do the grand deeds

that earn them a hero's acclaim.

It's setting your eye on the hero inside

Knowing you are fair to the game

Knowing you've got what it takes to be tough

No matter how rough life may be

I'm a hero, I know it! When my actions show it

It's because I'm a hero to me."

Jiro.

"What do they think of me?

Who do they think I'll be?

I could not care less, I don't wanna know

Am I doing right?

Am I satisfied?

I wanna live my life like it's meant to be

Yeah

Tried all my life, I've tried to find

Something that makes me hold on and never let go

Ohhhhh!

Hero too, I am a hero too

My heart is set (my heart is set) and I won't back down

Hero too, strength doesn't make a hero

True heroes (true heroes) stand up for what they believe

So wait and see

People will judge for no reason at all

Yeah they might try

To say your dream's dumb, don't listen

They may look down on me and count me out

I'm going my own way

They may look down on me and count me out

I'm a hero, I've got music

Hero too, I am a hero too

My heart is set and I won't back down

Hero too, strength doesn't make a hero

True heroes stand up for what they believe

Yeah I'll be!

Hero too, I am a hero too

My heart is set and I won't back down

Hero too, strength doesn't make a hero

True heroes stand up for what they believe

So wait and see

I have met so many heroes in my life

Gave me the strength and courage to survive

Gave me the power to smile everyday

Now it's my turn to be the one to make you smile."

The concert was a huge success and I had little complaints. Far in the audience, I could see Mirio and Eri. She was truly enjoying the concert. So much so that she was waving her arms high in the air and smiling with joy.

My complaints vanished.

Eri was free from the ghost of Chisaki.

It was a memorable day.
