"A four-eyed Nomu?" he muttered to himself while observing them for a moment. Yuta saw as the bullets bounced off Nomu's skin.

The police officers gritted their teeth as they saw the monster just standing still, letting them attack while their attacks were impenetrable.

"Fucking contact the heroes right now!" one of the police officers at the front, leading the crew, yelled to the other officers, who quickly obeyed.

Nomu screeched as he positioned himself for combat, charging toward the nearest officer and simply crushing his head with a swing of his arm. The other officers couldn't believe what they had just seen—their colleague on the floor, lying in a pool of his own blood, headless.

"Fuck!!!" they opened fire, sending a barrage of bullets toward Nomu as he leaped upward, crashing down into the police van and smashing the two officers inside into pulp.

"What the hell is this monster?"

"Is this how we're going to die?"

"Shit! I wish I could give my wife a kiss right now before I get killed by this monster."

"Are we supposed to fight this monster? Isn't it the heroes' job to defeat villains?"

They all trembled in fear, seeing there was no possible way for them to survive unless they got help from the top heroes.

"Fuck! I'm outta here!" one of the police officers immediately threw his gun toward the monster and turned back to run for his dear life, leaving his comrades to die.

Nomu quickly pivoted sideways toward the car he had smashed earlier, got a better grip on it, and threw it toward the officer who was running for his life, splitting him in two.

"What the fuc—?" Before one of the officers could process what had just happened, his head was quickly ripped off by the monster.

"Ahhh! Ahhh!" The remaining two police officers immediately dropped to their knees, hands paralyzed, with tears streaming down their faces like babies abandoned by their mothers.

The four-eyed Nomu walked slowly toward the two police officers who were already on their knees, tears streaming down their faces as they wet their pants.

A purple gate quickly appeared in the air above a random building as two men walked through it. It was Tomura Shigaraki and Kurogiri, the perfected Nomu.

Yuta tilted his head as the dark purple portal caught his attention. He saw two men walking out from it, one covered with severed hands all over his body.

"Who are they?" Yuta clung to the wall as he observed the newcomers. "Was that a warp quirk?" he muttered to himself, realizing how rare it was for someone to have a quirk like that.

Tomura Shigaraki and Kurogiri glanced at the city from atop the building, smiling as they saw the destruction and the corpses of some heroes and police officers.

"Nice job, Nomu!" Shigaraki applauded Nomu as he leaped down from the building, while Kurogiri simply warped down beside him.

They began walking as Nomu quickly stopped in his tracks before slaying the two remaining officers. The officers saw Shigaraki, whose face was covered with a severed hand, walking toward them.

"W-Who are you?" one of the officers managed to stammer out, while the other couldn't even speak due to the trauma he was experiencing.

"Huh? Who gave you permission to speak?" Shigaraki removed his right hand from his pocket as he walked past the officer, touching him with his palm and turning the officer to dust, which flared up into the atmosphere.

'Huh? Wait…what the hell did he just do to that officer?' Yuta questioned himself as he quietly waited for a chance to attack.

The last police officer trembled as he saw his final colleague turn to dust. He watched the man who had just turned his colleague to dust walk beside Nomu and place his hands on the monster's shoulder.

Shigaraki removed his hands from Nomu's shoulder and began scratching his neck and body as he turned toward Kurogiri.

"Kurogiri, what was that rat trying to say again?"

"He was probably asking who you are…or who we are."

Shigaraki walked over to the officer and crouched down to eye level with him. "I'll let you live if you answer just one question," Shigaraki said. "Where is All Might?"

"A-All Might? He's not here, even though we called for backup."

"All Might isn't here? Did you hear that, Kurogiri?" he said. "All Might isn't here." Shigaraki cracked his fingers one after the other. "I'll tell you who we are before you go…we are the 'League of Villains,' and make sure you never forget that, even in hell."

Shigaraki smiled as he swung his right hand at the officer's face. The body began to fade slowly, then suddenly turned to dust as the wind blew calmly.

Yuta's eyes widened in disbelief as he saw the monster Nomu, built to cause chaos, standing and taking orders from the man. "A quirk that allows the user to turn anything to dust with just a touch? A man who gives orders to that monster? And not only that…they call themselves the League of Villains?"

Yuta's hands began to sweat as streams of perspiration ran down his brow. He quickly deactivated his quirk in that brief moment, wiped his face and hands, and reactivated his quirk, covering his face with solidified sand.

Yuta focused more on Shigaraki, considering him the leader of the League of Villains, and realized the man behind Shigaraki was the user of the warp quirk he had just witnessed—not once, but twice.

"Or perhaps Stain is part of his so-called League?" he questioned himself while still focusing on Shigaraki, who was speaking to Kurogiri. "Okay, time to pay a little visit."

Yuta took a long, deep breath and released it slowly, repeating the process to calm himself as he prepared for a surprise attack.

Yuta snapped his fingers, and a sand spike sprouted from the ground, causing Shigaraki and Kurogiri to react quickly by leaping backward.

"Huh? What the hell is that, Kurogiri?!" Shigaraki snarled.

"It seems someone has been eavesdropping on us and tried to surprise us with that attack," Kurogiri said, analyzing the sudden situation.

Shigaraki stood on his feet and tilted his head left and right, seeing nobody. "Who the hell is there?"

Still, Yuta left them without a reply as he attacked again, and they both dodged it once more.

"Get your ass out before I fucking kill you!" Shigaraki exclaimed, cracking his neck and both hands, ready to attack at any moment.

Yuta walked out from the spot he had hidden in earlier, both hands above his head. "Hello there," Yuta said with a smirk under his sand mask, which covered his face, leaving only his eyes visible.

"Who are you?" Kurogiri asked.

"Me? Eh…just a random nobody," Yuta replied.

The Nomu got into combat mode, ready to attack at the given signal from his master, but Shigaraki ordered him to stop.

"Are you a hero?" Shigaraki asked.

"Hell no! I told you, I'm just a freaking nobody," Yuta said, cracking his hands and body to loosen up after being stiff from hiding for several minutes.

"NOMU!!"

Shigaraki gave the signal, and the Nomu sprang into action, leaping forward and slamming his fist against Yuta, who quickly covered himself with a sand wall.

The Nomu pivoted sideways and attacked again as Shigaraki and Kurogiri stood and watched from a distance.

Yuta's clone emerged from the ground behind the Nomu, landing a clean hit and sending the Nomu crashing into the ground.

"Huh? Hey, hey, hey, Kurogiri, what's happening? Why hasn't the Nomu killed that brat yet?"

"..."

Kurogiri and Shigaraki watched as the unknown person, who claimed not to be a hero, countered every attack thrown by the Nomu.

Yuta leaped upward and delivered a super roundhouse kick against the Nomu, who defended himself with both hands above his head.

The Nomu quickly grabbed Yuta's leg and threw him into a building, causing Yuta to crash through it. Before the Nomu could charge at Yuta, he noticed one of his legs was trapped in the ground.

Yuta had already turned the ground beneath the Nomu into quicksand, catching him off guard. Yuta threw a long iron rod from the building he had crashed into, but the Nomu quickly swung his left hand, changing the rod's momentum.

The Nomu struggled to free his legs from the ground, but it was too late as Yuta charged forward at a quick pace, ready to behead the Nomu. Shigaraki yelled as Kurogiri opened a dark purple portal, and Yuta passed through it, crashing into a structure on the opposite side of the road.

"1 vs 3, huh…?"
