Chapter 166:- Interrogating HPSC

"We'll think about it later," Izuku said, his tone icy. "Now, will you be a dear and explain the meaning of this?" He pulled a thick file out of seemingly nowhere, its cover marked "Confidential."

The elders' faces drained of color. Sweat beaded on their foreheads as they stared at the file in Izuku's hands, their cockiness replaced by sheer terror.

"Recognize this?" Izuku asked, opening the file and revealing a list of names. "This is from your secret records. Names of people you want to eliminate. People with versatile quirks."

The elders shifted uncomfortably, exchanging fearful glances.

"Explain why a six-year-old girl's name is in here," Izuku demanded, his voice rising angrily. He pointed to the name on the list. "Along with several other kids. What were you planning to do?"

The first elder, his voice shaking, tried to regain some composure. "Those... those children have the potential to become threats. We would offer them to work under us, if they deny it, then we would neutralize them before they can cause any harm."

Izuku's grip tightened on the file. "Neutralize them? They're just kids!" His eyes blazed with fury. "What kind of monsters are you?"

The second elder stammered, "It's a precaution! We can't afford to take chances. If their quirks develop in dangerous ways—"

"Dangerous to whom?" Izuku interjected, his voice filled with disgust. "To your control? To your power?" He simply cut the second elder's right hand and threw it on the ground as the second elder screamed in pain suddenly losing his arm.

The third elder, trembling, said, "We were only trying to protect society. Sometimes hard decisions must be made."

Izuku's anger surged. "Protect society? By killing innocent children? How do you justify that? You're no better than villains."

His fear was evident, and the fourth elder pleaded, "You don't understand! We have to think about the greater good. These children—if they grow up and turn against us, it could be disastrous."

Izuku stepped forward, his eyes narrowed. "You twisted, cowardly bastards. You destroy lives for your so-called greater good.

You turned Kaina into a weapon, and now you're planning to do the same to innocent kids, tell me how many of these so-called threats to the greater good did you make Kaina kill?" Izuku asked as he pressed the button in his hand.

A remote controlled the collars around the elders' necks. As Izuku pressed the button the collar's grip tightened around the 4th elder's neck, forming a chokehold causing him to desperately try to free himself from the collar, while taking in as much air as he could.

Izuku's voice dropped to a dangerous whisper. "You're not protecting anyone. You're just afraid of losing your power." He slammed the file shut. "This ends now. Although I wish to impale every single one of you on the iron spike, it would simply be too easy of a death.

You'll live, I'll fuckin make you answer for every name on this list. I'll make you work to the bone, just like the employees of a certain animation company, you'll be working for the rest of your miserable life, without a single minute of rest, or a single penny of salary.

You'll sell all your properties, and spend it in bettering the lives of those families that you guys ruined, you'll live like those people lived till now, in poverty, without proper food, proper clothes, and a proper place to stay."

"Hahh, I would rather die than live like that, I won't be leaving my luxury behind no matter what, if those families couldn't survive because of the loss of their family members, it's their fault, not mine," said the third elder who was acting all cocky even in such a state.

Izuku looked at the 3rd elder as he said, "What I said was for the men, you females will be going into prostitution, just like all those wives and daughters that had no other choice but to give up on their dignity and go into prostitution to survive.

You'll also be going into prostitution, and giving all your money to those females who had to go to prostitution because of you guys, you'll spend the rest of your lives satisfying clients using your body and earning money for those families whom you have made to suffer up to now." Announced Izuku with a sinister smile on his face.

Listening to which the 3rd, 5th, and 7th elders had sweat all over their bodies as they shuddered listening to Izuku.

Izuku closed the distance, held the 3rd elder's face from her chin, as he said, "Especially you, given your beautiful face, voluptuous body, sexy figure, and young age, you'll fetch good prices and lots of customers." as he had an innocent smile on his face, which was anything but innocent.

"Why do you think any of us would do what you say? As soon as you free us, we'll make a run for it and safeguard ourselves," the first elder said defiantly, thinking Izuku was just being cocky and couldn't control them.

Izuku took out a box filled with small red bugs. "You see these? These are my girlfriend's latest creations. They'll take over your central nervous systems and motor functions. With this, you'll be under my control.

"These cuties will make sure you do what I said. If you try to resist, you'll feel excruciating pain in your chest. If you try to attack me, you won't be able to. If you try to speak, you won't be able to. They'll use your quirk factor as fuel, so I don't have to worry about anything," said Izuku as the bugs activated and flew toward the elders.

The elders clamped their mouths shut, refusing to let the bugs enter.

"You'd better open your mouths and let them in," Izuku warned. "If not, they're programmed to enter your body through any possible hole.

Since the mouth is the only hole big enough for them to enter, you'd better let them in through your mouth if you want to avoid damage to your nose or ears when these bugs force their way in."

The second elder, still resisting, kept his mouth shut. The bug forced its way inside his body through his nose, damaging his nostrils. Blood trickled down his face as he screamed in pain, clutching his nose with his one free hand.

Seeing this, the other elders, horrified, quickly opened their mouths and allowed the bugs to enter. The bugs took control over their bodies, and the elders' defiance turned to fear.

The second elder struggled, his face twisted in agony as the bug burrowed deeper. His resistance was futile. The others, now under the control of the bugs, watched in silent terror as their colleague's fate sealed their compliance.

Izuku watched, his expression stern and unyielding. "Now you see," he said, his voice cold. "You have no choice. You will do exactly as I say. This is the beginning of your punishment for all the suffering you've caused."

Izuku looked at the subdued elders, their defiance broken by the invasive bugs now controlling them. He approached each one, removing their quirk-suppressing collars and handcuffs.

"Your first task," Izuku said, his voice firm and commanding, "Is to issue provisional hero licenses to Me, Maki, and Momo. Saying that you need people with versatile quirks like us in the field, unrestricted, to ensure public safety."

The elders, now under Izuku's control, nodded in unison, their movements stiff and mechanical. They had no choice but to comply.

Later that day, the Hero Public Safety Commission held a press conference. Cameras flashed and reporters jostled for position as the room buzzed with anticipation. The commission chair, standing behind a podium, began to speak.

"Thank you all for coming today. We have several important announcements to make," the chair said, his tone grave. "First, we are issuing provisional hero licenses to three individuals: Toji, Maki, and Momo."

The screen behind the chair displayed images of Toji, Maki, and Momo, each looking determined and ready for their new roles.

"Their versatile quirks and their control over the sports festival make them invaluable assets in the field. Since the chaos is increasing as villains are getting more and more unhinged, we need heroes like them who can operate without restrictions to ensure the safety of the public, while also helping the pro heroes in relieving some of the burden.

We'll also be giving a few more students from hero schools based on their performance in the internship and sports festivals, as the heroes are understaffed and your safety is our priority,

For now, I request the heroes under these three interning to come and collect their provisional hero license, so that they can help you in maintaining peace in the society.

"Second," the chair continued, "we have uncovered evidence of significant inner corruption within the Hero Public Safety Commission. Due to this corruption, Lady Nagant, previously labeled an SSS-class fugitive, was wrongfully accused and framed. We are currently investigating to find those responsible for this injustice."

The room erupted in murmurs, reporters frantically scribbling notes and raising their hands with questions.

"Effective immediately, Lady Nagant is cleared of all charges and is now a free person, as we apologize to Lady Nagant for all the trouble she has had to face till now" the 1st elder announced, causing a wave of astonished gasps to ripple through the audience.

A reporter stood up, his hand raised. "Can you provide more details on the corruption within the HPSC and how Lady Nagant was framed?"

The 1st elder nodded. "At this time, we cannot disclose specific details of the ongoing investigation. However, we are committed to rooting out corruption and ensuring that those responsible are held accountable. Lady Nagant was a victim of this corruption, and we deeply regret the suffering she endured as a result."

Another reporter called out, "What measures are being taken to prevent such corruption from occurring in the future?"

"We are implementing stricter oversight and transparency measures within the HPSC," the 3rd elder replied. "We are also establishing an independent body to monitor the commission's activities and ensure accountability."

The press conference continued with more questions and reassurances.

As the conference wrapped up, Kaina who was sitting in Izuku's lap, looking at the conference end, had tears in her eyes, as she said, "Thank you so much for this Izuku, I have no idea how I should thank you for this," as she hugged Izuku tightly.

In return, Izuku patted her back with love and said, "What are you talking about, I promised to fill your life with happiness, this is just the beginning," as he kissed her forehead gently and held her tightly in his embrace.
