"Damn it! What was he thinking doing that?"
I sighed.
"Whatever, just forget about it."
I continued walking toward the exit when I suddenly came to an abrupt halt as I remembered something.
"GOD! I forgot to ask him if he has video recordings of his battles. I can't see him fight the guy at I-Expo since I will stop the professor before he can even commit a crime."
'Should I not stop the professor from committing a crime so that I can see All Might fight? No, no, no, that's not right. First of all, All Might will be devasted when he finds that his friend committed a crime. Second of all, he isn't in his prime anymore. What's the fun in watching fight a battle now? And most importantly I can't allow someone as important and helpful as David Sheild to go to prison. Couldn't the writer have added time travel or something? I should find an opportunity to ask if All Might has any recordings. I can also ask his sidekick if he has any recordings. Yes, calm down. Don't make any rash decisions, Izumi. Calm down.'
I went home after grabbing a taxi.
I went to my room and lay down on my bed.
I stretched my arm toward the ceiling.
"So tomorrow's the day, huh?"
I looked at my trembling hand.
"I can't hesitate. It's something necessary for my plans and the safety of the people I care about."
I clenched my fist.
Just a moment later, Ayaka entered my room.
"Brother, mom is telling you to eat something before you begin training."
"Yes, I am right behind you."
I went to the kitchen with my sister.
'I should scout the area before going to sleep. I don't want any surprises tomorrow.'
***
The next day.
I woke up earlier than usual.
I checked the time.
*4.13*
I went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth.
After wearing my clothes, I texted my mother.
"Mother, I will be training outside today. I will eat something from the general store."
I checked the time again.
*4.30*
"I should get going."
I zipped into the air through the window while carrying a polythene bag.
I started travelling toward a certain forest.
After only travelling for minutes, I stopped on the roof of a tall building.
I opened the bag and retrieved one of the surgical scrubs.
I put on the scrubs and continued travelling toward my destination.
After nearly 20 minutes I arrived at the forest.
I started looking and finally found the spot after an hour.
I was lucky today.
I removed all the leaves, mud and everything else that covered the lid of the large container.
I retrieved the black and grey full-body suit.
I reverted everything to the way it was which took me another hour.
I walked a few meters away from the large container and turned around to look for any obvious signs.
*6.58*
Not finding anything odd, I started travelling in the direction of my destination which was a hospital, Jaku General Hospital.
After cautiously walking for half an hour, I used my quirk and moved in the air.
I stopped and entered an alley I memorised and changed into the black and grey suit.
The black and grey suit looked similar to twice's costume.
Making this costume took a great deal of work and time.
I put my clothes and the used scrub in the bag that I was carrying and hid them in an inconspicuous place I had memorized.
I continued travelling toward the hospital via a pre-planned route which involved using a lot of alleyways.
After roughly 20 minutes I arrived at the roof of the hospital.
*7.41*
'That bastard will enter the hospital at 8. He makes a few rounds around the hospital and then goes to his assigned room at 8.30. But during the rounds, he always walks by the morgue. The whole area near the entrance to the morgue is a blind spot. I need to take him out in that blind spot.'
I entered the hospital and went to the lowest floor while avoiding the cameras.
'I have been constantly scouting this area for 5 years. I know everything about this hospital like the back of my hand. I have also visited his test site or whatever he calls it. He hasn't even come close to making high-end nomus yet. Only Kurogiri and the shock absorption nomu which was created to fight All Might have been completed. There is also that little teleportation nomu.'
I waited for him at one of the corners of the morgue's blind spot.
He won't be able to spot me but I can sense him using my quirk.
I also made sure that there is no one in the morgue.
I waited for him.
After 13 minutes he entered the hallway that lead to the morgue.
A short man with a bushy moustache and a bald head with green glasses walked along the path of the hallway with his hands behind his back.
'Kyudai Garaki. I have been waiting for you and this moment for quite a few years.'
I pulled out a small towel and a small bottle from the pockets of the costume.
I prepared these when I was preparing every other thing in the container. Even the scrubs I use were stolen by me from this hospital.
I opened the bottle and poured some of the liquid onto the towel.
I held the slightly wet towel and waited for him.
After a few seconds, he entered the area of the blindspot and passed by me.
I immediately covered his face with the wet towel while fixing his body in place using all my strength.
I even put some force on his mouth so that he wouldn't be able to move his jaw.
After half a minute, he fell unconscious.
I continued waiting for a minute without reducing the force I exerted on his mouth or his body.
After confirming that he was unconscious I carried him on my shoulder and went into the morgue making my way toward his hideout.
After entering, I saw eight large transparent cylinders. Connected to it were a large number of pipes.
Two of the cylinders were empty while six of them were filled with different kinds of nomu and some type of liquid.
I looked at the end of the cylinders where a large screen connected to a computer and a chair could be seen.
On the chair sat a dazed nomu the size of a monkey.
I put down the unconscious Garaki and walked toward the teleportation nomu.
He didn't react even when I was a foot away from it.
I held it by the neck and used my quirk to electrocute it.
I electrocuted it till it gave off a burnt smell.
I pulled a garbage bag out of the costume and unfolded it for a whole minute.
I put the teleportation nomu in the bag.
I went to the unconscious Garaki.
I opened the little bottle and poured some liquid on the towel, wetting it again.
I put the towel against Garaki's face for a few seconds making sure that he doesn't wake up.
I carried him to the computer and verified his Iris, fingerprints, and his blood.
I gained access to his computer.
'I found out about this when I followed him into this hideout. I verified it five times before concluding that one needs Garaki's iris, fingerprints, and blood in that same order without missing any steps. I wanted to check what would happen if I skipped a step or changed the order but I gave up in the end. I don't want to take any unnecessary risks.'
I read through the names of the files and searched if there was a self-destruction option for the six nomus
Surprisingly, there was a self-destruction option.
I looked back at the unconscious Garaki.
'I thought he loved his creation. But I guess it wasn't something unexpected since he built his base below a hospital which is in the middle of a city.'
I started the self-destruction process and turned to look at the cylinders.
The body of the nomus started to slowly rot and turn into a dark-coloured liquid that mixed with the liquid in the cylindrical containers.
As the self-destruction was going on, I deleted all the data on the computer and also deleted all the backup files.
After searching for a few minutes, I didn't find anything.
I turned to look at the cylinders, the liquid in them turned completely black.
I waited for some time.
Suddenly, the liquid inside the tanks started to flow out.
I waited for the tanks to empty.
After waiting for a minute I looked at the empty tanks and nodded in satisfaction.
I turned to the computer and pulled out the hard drives and the different memory drives just to make sure I don't leave any data behind.
I searched the whole place but didn't find any hard copies or notes.
*9.45*
After putting Garaki inside the garbage bag I left the morgue and the hospital.
But I didn't forget to accidentally walk by a camera while carrying a large garbage bag the size of a human.
I used one of my escape routes and returned to the alley in which I changed my clothes.
I removed the costume and wore my previous clothes.
I also wore the other surgical scrub left in the bag.
I threw the towel and the small bottle in the bag. Using the costume I tied Garaki's hands, and legs, and also gagged his mouth with a sleeve so that he wouldn't be able to utter a sound.
I also threw the polythene bag in the large garbage bag.
I carried it and continued along my escape route which lead to the forest.
I searched for the place I hid the container but I found it rather quickly this time.
'I guess even god is helping me.'
I placed the bag to the side for some time.
After clearing the things on the top, I opened the lid.
I retrieved the small containers from inside.
After retrieving all the small containers, and a string reel, I opened the small containers and poured the liquid inside them into the large container.
It took some time but I poured all liquid inside the small containers into the big container.
It was nearly filled leaving only a foot length of space.
I nodded looking at the liquid.
I carried the bag and threw it into the container.
I closed the lid and reverted it to its previous appearance taking an hour to make sure there were no mistakes.
After completing the task I walked a few meters away from the container and leaned on a tree.
"I guess it's done. Finally, after years of preparation one of the most important tasks is completed."
'First part of the plan is completed.'
I sat down on the ground.
'It was necessary.'
I looked at the sky that was partially hidden by the branches of the trees.
'The liquid in the small containers is Hydrofluoric acid which I gathered from different schools, universities, manufacturing companies and whatnot. This will completely dissolve the body after some time. I got this idea from a tv show. But gathering this amount of acid was a difficult task. I had to steal it in small amounts to not attract attention.'
I pushed the thoughts out of my head and focused on the sky.
'There are a lot of things that need to be completed today. I don't have time to think about what I have done. I should get going.'
I tied all the small containers together using the string reel.
I carried all the small containers and used my quirk to run around and throw them in garbage dumpsters all over the city.
I also threw the scrub I was wearing in one of the garbage cans.
After completing everything I checked the time.
*12.14*
I still have some time until the lunch break ends.
I should hurry to school.
I used my quirk and travelled to U.A.
***
I arrived at school after about 10 minutes.
I noticed the reporters in front of the school.
I walked by them and entered the school.
I heard questions regarding All Might but I ignored them.
'He should be around here somewhere. should I just look around for him? No, if I do that then I will miss Kurogiri. He is of more importance than the guy with the itching issues.'
I changed into the spare school uniform and went to find Aizawa.
'I already told Ayaka to give him the reason that I was injured while training. But I should still meet him.'
I knocked on the door to the office.
"Yes, come in."
I entered the room and saw Aizawa looking up from the paper he was reading.
"Izumi, you are here. Ayaka already told me that you wouldn't be able to attend the morning classes because of your injury. You look tired, you could have taken the whole day off."
"I didn't want to miss the hero training classes."
"I understand. I reviewed your performance in yesterday's battle. And I have to say, good work. You don't lack anything for the time being. Continue to improve yourself."
"Yes, sir."
"I was planning on choosing a class representative today but as you were absent I postponed it to tomorrow."
"I understand."
Aizawa nodded and motioned me to leave the office.
I went out and started searching for my classmates.
Alarms started to ring around the school.
"Warning! Level 3 security breach. Please evacuate the building."
After a few seconds, students started to flood toward the exit which was in my direction.
I looked at the waves of panicking students approaching me.
I used my quirk and clapped.
A loud thunderclap exploded in the hallway.
All the students abruptly stopped as they covered their ears.
They glared at me while covering their ears.
I lifted my hands and clapped again.
The students had pained expressions but were surprised when they didn't hear the thunderclap.
"Evacuate in an orderly fashion. And it's not an emergency, it's just the reporters triggering the defence mechanisms."
Some of the students ran to the glass walls and confirmed my words.
All the students calmed down and returned to their respective tasks.
Ayaka and some of my classmates approached me as the students cleared out.
"Brother, you're here. Good work with calming the students."
"Yes."
We walked toward our classroom while speaking with each other.
We reached our classroom and sat in our designated seats.
After the bell indicating the end of lunch break rang, Aizawa entered the classroom in his yellow sleeping bag.
'I still don't understand how he moves in that thing. Does he crawl or jump like a Kangaroo?'
"Today's training will be a little different. You will have three instructors. I, All Might and another faculty member will be keeping tabs on you."
"Sir, what will we be doing?"
Sero asked.
"Rescue Training. You will be dealing with natural disasters, shipwrecks and everything in between."
Everyone in the class became excited and started discussing.
"Looks like it'll be a lot of work this time."
"Right?"
"This is real hero stuff. My arms are shaking with excitement."
"No one can beat me in water, ribbit."
"Hey, I'm not done yet."
All the students quieted down hearing Aizawa speak.
"You can decide if you want to wear your costume or not this time."
Aizawa pressed a button.
Shelves started to protrude out of the walls.
On the shelves, costumes with numbers designated to the students were present.
Aizawa continued.
"But keep in mind. There are probably costumes that might limit your abilities. The training is at an off-campus facility, so we're taking the bus. That is all. Start getting ready."
All the students grabbed their costumes and went to change.
I sat in my seat and sighed.
I grabbed my costume and went to change.
