Yuta stepped out of Overhaul's base, dragging the unconscious body of the villain behind him. His clothes were torn, and he was breathing heavily, but there was a look of relief on his face. He glanced around and quickly spotted both Mirio and Izuku waiting for him near the entrance. Their eyes widened as they saw Yuta emerge practically unscracted like the fight against Overhaul was nothing too him, and the weight of the battle finally started to lift from all their shoulders.
"Yuta! We did it, we save Eri!" Izuku exclaimed, running up to him with a mix of excitement and Happiness. Mirio was right behind him, his usual smile breaking through despite everything they'd been through.
"Yeah," Yuta said, wiping some dirt from his face. "It wasn't easy, but I took him down." He motioned to Overhaul's limp form. "He's not going to be hurting anyone else for a while."
Yuta said that with a strange tone, a tone which both found strange, it was certainly diferent than how he usually talks, little did they knew that Orion still had plans in place.
Mirio gave Yuta a firm pat on the back. "Great job, Yuta. You've saved a lot of people today—especially Eri."
At the mention of Eri, Yuta's gaze shifted, and he finally spotted her, standing a little ways off with Mirio's cape tugged in her small hands. Her small figure looked fragile, but she seemed okay, and that was all that mattered. Yuta let out a long sigh of relief. Ever since he let Overhaul walk off with Eri, he couldn't stand still, guilt was wearing him down. That plus ther recent history he learn about Rika, it was even more glad that the little girl was all right.
"She's safe," Yuta muttered, more to himself than anyone else. "That good."
Izuku gave Yuta a reassuring nod. "She's going to be okay now. Thanks to you."
Yuta smiled tiredly. "Not just me. We all played our part."
The three of them stood there for a moment, taking in the weight of what they'd just been through. But soon, they realized they couldn't relax just yet.
"We should probably report all this to Nighteye and Aizawa," Mirio said after a brief pause. "They're going to want to know everything that happened down there."
"Yeah, well that and the long ass whopping coming our way." Yuta agreed, rubbing the back of his neck. "I'm not exactly looking forward to explaining how things went, though."
Izuku also had a nervous smile on his face and he chuckled lightly. "I think they'll understand. We managed to take down Overhaul and save Eri. That's what matters most, right…
Right !"
Yuta nodded, glancing back at the wreckage behind him. "True, but something tells me they're still going to have a lot of say. A lot…" Yuta honestly was planning to just run away from there right now.
"Better get it over with," Mirio said with a grin. "The longer we wait, the more we'll have to explain later."
Yuta sighed. " Yeah about that, come here I have something to say…" Orion said making both boys confuse.
"Hey, Eri," he said gently, "everything's going to be okay now."
She gave him a tiny nod, and Yuta felt a warm sense of relief settle in his chest. He had done it. They had saved her.
Now, it was time to face the aftermath.

The Hero Agency and UA were in chaos when news broke that Yuta, Izuku, and Mirio had launched an unsanctioned attack on Shie Hassaikai's base to save Eri. Phones were ringing non-stop, and everyone was trying to get a handle on the situation. Teachers, pro heroes, and staff alike were scrambling to figure out what had happened and why the three students had acted on their own.
In a large meeting room at UA, a tense video call was underway. All Might, Nezu, and Aizawa sat around a table, watching the screen where Sir Nighteye's face appeared. His expression was serious, but there was a hint of pride beneath the surface.
"This is unacceptable," Aizawa started, rubbing his temples in frustration. "They're still students! They should not be launching their own operations, especially something this dangerous."
Nighteye sighed from the other side of the call. "I agree, Eraser Head. But we can't ignore the fact that they succeeded in saving Eri and defeating Overhaul. Their actions, while reckless, were effective." Nighteye too was a little fault here because he was the one who share the information privately with Yuta. Though he knew that the boy was trouble but even a man who can see future wasn't expecting this..
All Might, sitting silently until now, crossed his arms. "I can't say I'm not proud of them. But still, going in without approval from the agency or the school... they put themselves at tremendous risk."
"Reminds me of a certain someone…" Someone said and all looked at All Might with narrow eyes, like he was the person responsible for spoiling the kids.
Nezu leaned forward. "It seems we need to handle this carefully. On one hand, their bravery and skill cannot be ignored, Yuta's inclusion to this mission have already made this an unavoidable thing from press and Eri is safe because of their actions. But they violated several protocols. If we don't address this properly, it sets a dangerous precedent for other students. More important than Yuta, how can that boy not understand his actions are no longer being seen like some child playing hero." Nezu can't help but mutter and complain.
"So, what's the plan?" Aizawa asked, his tone tired like he didn't wanted to go through another mess. "How do we handle this without glorifying their behavior while also acknowledging the good they did?"
Nighteye cleared his throat. "I believe we need to make sure they understand the severity of what they did. They'll need to face consequences, but we must also guide them. Yuta, Izuku, and Mirio have incredible potential. We need to help them channel that in the right direction."
"Yeah, that's a good answer to tell the press, but what about when actually talking with those kids."
"Cough cough, just improvise."
All Might nodded. "Agreed. Punishment is necessary, but we can't squash their drive to help others. What they did… it's the kind of spirit a hero should have, even if it wasn't done the right way."
"Detention and suspension from hero activities for a time," Nezu suggested.
"No can't do, especially Yuta. That boy's status is so high right now, if news leaks out that he has been suspended, do you know what gonna happened ?"
"This is half you fault All Might, why you had to retire just right now, half of the reason why situation with Yuta's is so big is because you retire in this time…"
All Might couldn't do anything but just looked down like a child who done wrong.
Aizawa frowned but nodded. "We'll need to be firm, but fair. They need to understand the importance of following protocol, but we also can't forget the result of their actions."
Nighteye smiled slightly. "I'll talk to Mirio personally, and while I do All Might you should try talking to Izuku, if there is one hero who he will listen more than anyone than its you."
"As for Yuta…"
After saying this… all of them fall silent, who will talk with that Problem child.
Sigh…
