MHA : QUIRK EVOLUTION

Not long after, someone seemed to have contacted the outside world. U.A.'s principal quickly gathered available heroes and rushed to USJ. 

However, their arrival didn't make much of a difference. After all, this entire USJ incident had played out quite differently from how it did in the original storyline. 

At best, their arrival sped up the cleanup process. 

They soon split up to handle various tasks and wrap things up. 

"Is that... Aizawa Shouta? Is he okay?" 

The speaker was a woman with long hair, dressed in a skintight suit. She was known as Midnight, one of U.A.'s teachers. Her costume reflected her hero alias, the "18+ Hero." 

"He's out of immediate danger," Ezaki replied calmly. 

Midnight scanned the battered, uneven battlefield. Her expression turned grim as she wondered what kind of intense battle had caused such devastation. 

"What exactly happened here?" Midnight asked Ezaki again.

"We were attacked by a group calling themselves the 'League of Villains.' One of them had a teleportation Quirk. When he saw All Might arrive, he fled," Ezaki explained calmly. 

"I see." 

Midnight blinked, showing no doubt about Ezaki's words, then added, "It looks like this enemy isn't just some random group." 

"USJ's central area is in such a state... There must've been a fierce battle here." 

"Yeah." Ezaki Kitazawa nodded. 

"You don't need to worry. Someone will come soon to take Aizawa to the hospital. I'll check out other areas. Be careful, kid. The danger at USJ isn't completely over yet," Midnight warned. 

"Got it." 

With that, Midnight hurried toward another area. 

A short while later, more pro heroes arrived, told Ezaki to head to USJ's main gate, and took the injured Aizawa Shouta away. 

Despite the attack on USJ, there were no casualties — only a few serious injuries and some minor wounds. 

"How could this happen? They invaded so boldly," the principal said, standing at the top of the stairs with a frown. 

"Luckily, the students are safe. If anything had happened to them, I'd feel guilty for the rest of my life. It's my fault... I used up all my Quirk time on the way here. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened," All Might said with a tense face. 

"All Might, you don't need to blame yourself so much. No one could've expected this," the principal replied. 

"I heard someone say a student from Class 1-A did a great job this time," Midnight added. 

"Who?" 

Other U.A. teachers turned toward Midnight, curious. 

"Seems like someone named Ezaki Kitazawa. I heard he summoned a giant during the fight," Midnight said, pointing toward the massive hole in the distance. 

"See that? Looks like the giant caused that." 

"Now I'm really interested in this Ezaki Kitazawa kid," a pro hero said with a smile. 

"Are you serious? How could a student from Class 1-A have that kind of power? Even many pro heroes couldn't do what you described. Are you sure it wasn't All Might?" another pro hero doubted. 

They weren't entirely wrong — everyone knew how strong Class 1-A students could be, especially since school had only just started. 

Even with minimal training, what Midnight described seemed possible only for a pro hero. 

"I believe what that student said is true," All Might said. 

"Huh? All Might believes that too?" The doubting pro hero looked at All Might curiously. 

"I believe it as well," the principal added with a smile. He already had a strong impression of Ezaki Kitazawa. 

Seeing this, the skeptical pro hero lowered their head, saying nothing more.

Meanwhile, in a dimly lit bar, a purple vortex swirled open, and Shigaraki Tomura collapsed to the floor like a broken doll. 

The next second, Kurogiri anxiously spoke toward a screen mounted on the wall. 

"Sir, something's wrong! Shigaraki Tomura is seriously injured. Should I bring him over to your place now?" 

The screen flickered before a voice came through. 

"What? Shigaraki is seriously injured? So... the plan failed?" 

"Yes. We suffered a complete defeat. If I hadn't escaped with Shigaraki in time, he'd be dead at USJ by now," Kurogiri said grimly. 

"Has All Might gotten stronger? Nomu was designed specifically to counter his Quirk..."

"No... The one who defeated us wasn't All Might, but a boy from Class 1-A named Ezaki Kitazawa," Kurogiri explained. 

"What? Do you know what you're saying? Nomu's base power can rival All Might's, and you're telling me a student from Class 1-A beat you?" 

"Yes, sir. It's absolutely true. That guy's Quirk lets him summon a giant with overwhelming strength. Nomu was knocked out of USJ like a baseball." 

"And that's not his only Quirk. His other Quirk is equally terrifying—his flames seem to be unextinguishable. One of the Nomus was reduced to ashes by his fire," Kurogiri continued. 

After hearing this, the person on the screen fell silent. 

After a long pause, the voice finally spoke. 

"Interesting... Very interesting!"
