Chapter 60: Chapter 060 Conference Room
"Ezaki-kun, are you free right now?" All Might asked over the phone.
Ezaki Kitazawa hesitated for a moment and then replied, "Hmm, what's up?"
"Can you come to U.A.? I need to talk to you about something."
Ezaki didn't refuse. Since it was a holiday, and All Might was calling him, it must be something important.
"Okay, just wait for me, I'll be there soon."
"Alright!"
After hanging up, Ezaki quickly got ready and changed his clothes.
"Ezaki-kun, are you going out?" Toga Himiko, who was sitting on the couch, asked.
"Yeah, the school needs me for something. I'm going to check it out," Ezaki replied while putting on his shoes.
Just as he took a few steps, he seemed to remember something and turned back to say, "By the way, I'll be back for dinner. I'll cook that one too."
Toga Himiko got up from the couch, poked her head out, and asked, "Ezaki-kun, what do you like to eat? I'll cook for you."
"Anything, as long as it's edible."
"Okay!" Toga Himiko made an "OK" gesture with her hand.
Ezaki nodded and left. As for why All Might suddenly contacted him, he already had a rough idea—it probably had something to do with the USJ incident from yesterday.
U.A. wasn't too far from Ezaki's house. After just a little over half an hour, he arrived at the gates of U.A.
He first went to the teacher's office, but unfortunately, All Might wasn't there.
Just as Ezaki was about to call All Might, he appeared behind him.
"Ezaki-kun, you're here," All Might greeted him.
Ezaki nodded. "I'm not sure why you called me, All Might."
"Come with me," All Might said.
"Okay!"
Following All Might, Ezaki Kitazawa quickly arrived at a meeting room, where several U.A. teachers and a police officer were waiting.
"Ezaki-kun, please take a seat," All Might said quietly.
"Is this seat okay? If not, I can wait outside," Ezaki Kitazawa asked.
Of course, if this was a major meeting where confidential information might be leaked, Ezaki Kitazawa would prefer to wait outside so that he wouldn't be suspected later.
"It's fine, just sit down," the principal said.
Ezaki Kitazawa nodded and sat in a chair at the corner of the room.
"Looks like everyone is here. I'll start now. I've gathered information on a group called the 'League of Villains,'" the principal began.
"The leader, Shigaraki Tomura, has a Quirk that causes objects to shatter when touched. We checked the Quirk records for people aged 20 to 30, but couldn't find anyone that fits. The one with teleportation abilities, Kurogiri, has no nationality and uses an alias."
"They haven't submitted their Quirk registration forms, so they are considered 'illegals,'" the police officer read from the file.
"So, does that mean we know nothing about them?"
"When I arrived, the one called Shigaraki Tomura had already escaped. Aizawa-kun said that after he was defeated by that monster, it was Ezaki-kun who arrived, right?" All Might asked, looking at Ezaki Kitazawa.
"Yes!" Ezaki replied calmly.
"Did you defeat them?" the police officer asked.
"I was lucky to win," Ezaki Kitazawa responded.
"According to Aizawa Shouta, besides All Might, the 'League of Villains' also targeted you, Ezaki Kitazawa. Do you know about that?" the principal asked.
"I know!" Ezaki Kitazawa nodded.
"I can guess why they went after All Might, but... why did they target you?" Midnight also asked.
Ezaki hesitated for a moment. Since they asked, he thought it might be okay to reveal some important information. Of course, whether they would understand was up to them.
"I'm not entirely sure. Aside from the USJ incident, one day when I was heading home after school, I ran into Shigaraki Tomura."
"He said he was happy with my Quirk, then told me that when the time came, we would meet again, and then he left."
"At the time, I didn't think much of it and just treated him like a madman," Ezaki said slowly.
As he finished speaking, the expressions of the others didn't change much, but All Might's face gradually stiffened.
Because of Ezaki's words, All Might had completely ruled out any connection between Ezaki Kitazawa and All For One.
Now, All Might could roughly guess why they targeted Ezaki Kitazawa, in addition to going after him.
However, these were just his guesses, without any evidence to prove that his suspicions were correct.
After asking a few more irrelevant questions, the meeting ended.
Once Ezaki and the others left, only All Might and the principal were left in the meeting room.
"All Might, do you think the same as I do?" the principal suddenly spoke.
"You mean All For One, right?" All Might responded gravely.
"Although the chances are small, from Ezaki's description, it's possible that the mastermind behind the 'League of Villains' is him," the principal said slowly.
"The situation isn't looking too good. Regardless of whether it's him or not, based on Ezaki-kun's description, someone has taken an interest in his Quirk," All Might said in a deep voice.
"This is indeed troublesome. If we don't take it seriously, Ezaki Kitazawa might be in danger," the principal added.
"True, but after the USJ incident, they will need to catch their breath. So, for now, Ezaki-kun should be safe," All Might expressed his opinion.
"Even so, it's better to be prepared just in case."
