Chapter 35

Aizawa slowly picked himself up and did his best to interpose himself between the fighting and his students. "Everyone... get back... If you get involved now, then you're liable to get killed..."

"Fuck that! I'm itching to tear shit up!" roared Bakugou as he charged headfirst into the fray.

[25 yen.] Kumagawa remarked offhand.

"Wait up Bakugou!" shouted Kirishima as he followed after the explosive teen.

"Does none of this bloody scene bother either of you?!"

"I'll worry about crap like that later,"

[30.]

"Right now I wanna fuck up fog-face!"

[35.] Kumagawa stated as he dodged another attack. [It seems that my fun must come to an end. I'm not really a fan of escort missions, so I need to end this before Bakagou-san gets over here.]

"SHIT HEAD!"

[40.] Kumagawa then spun his body and swung his arms towards Noumu who was busy fighting All Might.

The beast was about to take another swing at the Number 1 Hero, but was halted when its body was impaled by over a dozen screws. Noumu had effectively been turned into a pincushion as it was stabbed in no less than three lethal locations.

"What?!" exclaimed an alarmed All Might.

[Still think you're a high enough level for this Story Quest?] Kumagawa asked as he turned back to face Tomura.

"I am so gonna delete your save file the next time we meet." the Villain growled as he slowly retreated towards Kurogiri. "Let's go Kurogiri. Time to head back to the hub."

And just like that, it was all over. The Villain's had been defeated, and the Hero's won. Yet it was a somewhat hollow victory. Now that the danger had subsided, everyone was finally able to come to terms with Kumagawa's actions. He had killed no less than a dozen Villains.

[Ah, they got away. Looks like I couldn't win after all.] the teen in question spoke as the screws in his hands disappeared. He then proceeded to wipe his bloody hands on his uniform to clean them. [And it looks like my outfit is ruined too.] suddenly Kumagawa felt a hand on his shoulder.

"You have a lot of explaining to do." came the voice of All Might, none of his usual jovial tone to be found.

[And what exactly would that be sensei?] Kumagawa asked with his head cocked to the side.

"Don't get smart with me." the Pro scolded. "You just committed multiple counts of cold blooded murder."

[Murder? Whatever are you talking about? Everyone looks fine to me.] he replied with his usual smile.

"Don't screw around! Just take a look at what... you... did..." All Might trailed off as he looked back towards the Villains.

Save for Noumu, all the other enemies were struggling while pinned to the ground by screws through their clothes. Noumu however, had screws in his hands and feet, but was otherwise uninjured. All the blood had disappeared, along with all signs that there had been a battle of any sort. Snapping his head back towards Kumagawa, All Might observed that the boys outfit was back to being in its pristine original state.

[Perhaps your mind is getting confused from the throes of battle. As you can see, aside from Noumu, all the Villains I engaged are relatively unharmed.]

"What is going on here?" All Might wondered aloud in confusion. 'I know what I saw. Everything looked far too real to be just an illusion. That, and other bits of Kumagawa's abilities don't match up.'
