Heroes Vs Villains Pt. 2

The battle between heroes and villains escalated further in the city center.

With Kamui successfully evacuating the civilians, the heroes regained their momentum, especially those who had bought candy from Urahara.

However, the most concerned was All For One, as he could no longer sense Gigantomachia's presence.

Nevertheless, All For One understood Gigantomachia's strength better than anyone, and in his mind, Gigantomachia's defeat was inconceivable.

On the other hand, he was now more focused on facing All Might, who seemed to have had an epiphany.

All For One quickly rose from the rubble burying him and hurled rocks and metal scattered toward All Might.

Of course, All Might wouldn't stand idly by and accept the attack like a fool, as he had just done.

With ease, All Might struck and destroyed anything thrown by All For One. After enduring for some time, it was now his turn to attack.

All Might ran and leaped toward All For One with a single goal: to deliver his best punch.

A super-powerful punch capable of destroying an entire city, but All For One easily countered it using a quirk that absorbed kinetic energy as power.

"It's useless, Toshinori! I am far stronger than you."

Utilizing the energy from All Might's punch, he unleashed a shockwave directly at All Might, hoping to exacerbate his wounds from their previous battle.

What All For One didn't know was that All Might had fully recovered, even healing his hidden wounds thanks to Urahara's medicine.

All Might, once again subjected to a heavy blow, was thrown back, but he was caught by several unexpected figures.

A child with curly green seaweed-like hair appeared along with his friends.

"What are you all doing here, Midoriya-shounen?" All Might, unsure of what to comment, could only ask that question.

"We came to help you, All Might!"

The U.A. students who came with Deku nodded in agreement with Deku's statement.

On the other side, All For One, enjoying the battle, became even more delighted upon realizing the many young heroes with various quirks that he could steal.

As if teleporting, All For One swiftly moved and stood in front of the students. With a quirk to manipulate fire, he attempted to attack them.

However, the attack was successfully thwarted by Todoroki and his ice quirk, creating an ice barrier between them.

"Oy, move quickly, he's really strong," although Todoroki said it with a flat expression, his words proved that their current enemy was indeed formidable.

Hearing this, the students began to use all their abilities.

Each attack, if launched simultaneously, would be quite dangerous even for powerful villains, and it was followed by a rocket launcher shot by Momo and a glycerin explosion from Bakugo's quirk.

However, their opponent this time was considered the strongest villain in their country. Even All Might had to endure severe injuries from their last battle.

When the smoke cleared, they could clearly see All For One, who was unscathed, protected by something akin to a transparent shield capable of withstanding all attacks from the students.

"Disappointing, Katsuki Bakugo-kun! You're a perfect fit to be a villain, yet you chose to be a hero, how ironic," All For One said, shaking his head.

"HUH?? A villain? How stupid! And why do you act like you're so special, fighting alone, being a villain, antagonizing the world, and thinking you're the strongest?"

After Bakugo said that, everyone fell silent, even All For One was surprised because he never expected someone to ask such a foolish question.

Who was he? He was All For One, the owner of the most powerful and numerous quirks in the world, and he could take any quirk he wanted except One For All.

"What? Why are you all silent? It's true, he's nothing. That person is more terrifying than he is. If I had also lost consciousness at that time, I wouldn't have known he was so dangerous and terrible."

As the students became more silent, shocked to hear Bakugo, who was arrogant and hot-tempered, say that someone was more frightening than their current enemy, the silence was broken by All For One, intrigued by Bakugo's statement.

"Hoooo? Can you tell me who that person is?" All For One, feeling insulted this time, seriously expressed his intent to kill, but the expected scene never happened.

Bakugo, the primary target of his killing intent, was completely fearless and unshaken, casually mocking.

"See? I told you he's nothing. This intent to kill can't even make me shiver—-" Bakugo looked towards his comrades, but he was puzzled as to why they were all kneeling, trembling, sweating, and looking quite frightened.

"Ehh? Are you guys afraid?? Hahahaha, so weak—" Before Bakugo could finish speaking, All For One, increasingly angry, launched an attack similar to the one he launched at All Might.

But fortunately, Mirko, also present, managed to secure Bakugo in time and carried him away like lifting a sack, or he would have turned into tomato sauce because his body wasn't as strong as All Might's.

"Why are there more troublemaker kids nowadays? Back in my day, aside from the muscle brain and the exhibitionist, there weren't many troublemakers... I think," Mirko said, dropping Bakugo roughly, making a slight complaint although she didn't dare to say too much because she realized that Mirko's temperament somewhat resembled her mother's.

Then, with a lightning-fast leap, Mirko launched a kick towards All For One.

"Luna ring!"

"Ugh!"

And the attack landed cleanly on All For One's head or more precisely on his face.

Regardless of how strong All For One was, his defense was useless unless he was quick enough to activate his defensive quirk. As proof, All For One once again fell, but this time, his mask shattered into pieces.

This time, the students could clearly see the terrifying face behind the mask.

"No wonder you always wear a mask, old man, because no woman would want to date you after seeing that face,"

Mirko's words made the students, who were initially tense, feel a little relieved, and some of them even chuckled.

"A truly uneducated mouth."

Without further ado, he turned his arm into a large sword and unleashed a sweeping wave that sliced through anything in its path.

Mirko, realizing that the attack was very dangerous, chose to dodge rather than block it.

But another attack came directly towards her. Dodging wasn't possible anymore, as All For One had numerous quirks, including support types like heat readers, predictive abilities, and more.

Realizing that there was no way to evade anymore, Mirko decided to use the awakening ability of her quirk, knowing what would happen if the effect of that ability ended, as last time she used it, she couldn't move for several minutes due to exhaustion.

And in a battle where a few minutes felt like an eternity, various endings could happen within that time frame.

 -------

All For One, who was very confident of his victory, suddenly felt something strange with his predictive ability.

Quickly, he dodged as if there was something dangerous about to attack him.

*BOOM

And indeed, a split second after he dodged, the place where he stood exploded.

As the floating smoke slowly disappeared, something or someone who had launched the attack could now be clearly seen.

A woman with a body like a rabbit-human hybrid, commonly known as a furry, but with the light emitted by the white hairs on her body, she looked like a goddess descending from the sky or perhaps the moon.

Her glowing red eyes stared directly at him, making All For One feel like prey constantly watched by a predator. However, what he didn't know was that the longer the enemy stayed near Mirko, the stronger the pressure they would feel, and the power of the abilities they possessed would also diminish.

This fact was also unnoticed by Mirko because so far, only Kaoru had fought her in this form, and Kaoru's power was already far above Mirko's and even All For One or All Might, so the aura emitted by Mirko barely had any influence.

"Crescent moon!"

Mirko, in her furry form, launched a horizontal kick, but this time, a flying slash made of light quickly flew towards All For One.

On the other side, All For One moved to dodge as he did in a famous movie where he leaned backward, and Mirko's attack passed just above his body.

After successfully dodging, All For One looked behind him suspiciously because there was no explosion or anything, but it didn't take long for him to swallow his saliva at the effect of Mirko's attack.

Anything that passed through the slash was cut very neatly, where every surface of the severed object shimmered like glass, and slowly, all the severed objects began to fall.

In his heart, All For One felt lucky to have a quirk that could predict something and heightened instincts.

If he had resisted that attack, it wouldn't be surprising if he had turned into an ice stick Kiko.

This time, All For One realized that he was truly in danger because on the hero side, there was still All Might, Mirko, and some U.A. students who, although not very strong, were dangerous enough as distractions.

That's why he quietly gave orders to Tomura to retreat with the League of Villains, and he himself would hold back the heroes.

Even if he ended up in prison and his plans had to change slightly, he didn't mind because he had been waiting for decades, and delaying it for a while wasn't a big deal.

 -----

Receiving orders from All For One, Kurogiri immediately informed Tomura to retreat.

And upon learning the reason, Tomura reluctantly made all his members retreat.

The heroes, who were prepared to die in battle from the beginning, were puzzled as to why the villains chose to retreat.

But upon receiving news that All Might, Mirko, and the U.A. students had successfully captured All For One, they shouted with joy because their country's greatest enemy had been apprehended.

Meanwhile, in Mirko's office, Kaoru, preparing dinner, mocked the heroes who were happy to have captured All For One.

"Bah! while the villains escape, I hope you don't regret it... Oh, and if I'm not mistaken, that woman was also imprisoned, right? Well, rather than a villain, she's more suited to be a mercenary or vigilante, what do you think, Mirko-san?"

Kaoru then asked, looking towards the door.

"I don't know what to say anymore, but I'll ask one thing, who are you really, Kaoru?"

Mirko opened the door and asked a heavy question to Kaoru, as she felt that there was something strange about Kaoru, as if something was being hidden, but she didn't know what.

Kaoru just smiled and then gave a short answer.

"Sometimes, the less known, the better!"

He then resumed cooking their dinner for tonight.
