Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Farewell
"…"
"All Might, what's wrong?"
After hanging up the phone, All Might's expression gradually changed. Night Eye, sensing something was off, asked with concern. But All Might suddenly crushed the phone in his hand.
"I… I'm such an incompetent hero…"
With his right hand weakly covering his face, All Might's voice had a sobbing tone, which made Night Eye stop in his tracks.
Meanwhile, Midoriya Izuku had hung up the phone. He was carrying his bag, slowly walking back to U.A. High. This was enough.
—————————————
In the early morning, as the sun rose over U.A. High, the students were about to start a new day of active learning.
In Class B of the Hero Course, the students were, as usual, practicing their "ultimate moves" at the training ground. However, Shinso Hitoshi wasn't with the other students. He walked directly toward the Support Course building, feeling a bit worried about that person...
At the Support Course building, Shinso Hitoshi asked the students there if they had seen the person. The answer was always no, no one had seen him. As he grew more worried, he reached the dormitory door and was about to knock.
"Shinso, what's up?"
"Great, Midoriya, you're back."
Shinso Hitoshi finally felt at ease when he saw Midoriya Izuku safe and sound in front of him. He had been very worried since he came back yesterday and had no idea what Midoriya was planning to do alone.
"I'm glad you're okay. I'll head back now."
"Yeah, thanks for yesterday."
Turning back to the training ground, Shinso Hitoshi needed to hurry back to continue practicing. Midoriya, on the other hand, silently watched him and quietly said the last words.
"Goodbye, my friend..."
Midoriya opened his dorm door, and on the desk, there was a backpack containing the severed arms of Chisaki. He hadn't thrown it away because it was evidence for the police.
"Next, I should say goodbye to everyone…"
In the Support Course workshop, Hatsume Mei was focused on creating new equipment. Midoriya slowly spoke from behind her.
"Hatsume Mei…"
"Midoriya-chan, when did you come here?"
Hearing Midoriya Izuku's voice, Hatsume Mei turned around, took off her focusing glasses, and happily spoke.
"Thank you for all your help! Thank you!"
"Ahahaha~~ What are you suddenly saying? I just see you as a way to promote myself! You became a famous hero, and now even your baby is famous~~!"
Laughing teasingly, Hatsume Mei, Midoriya Izuku bowed deeply to her. He owed her so much... so much...
Midoriya Izuku left, and Hatsume Mei returned to her workstation, continuing to work. With a mind that could create so many amazing inventions, she wasn't foolish... but...
"This is fine. No matter what you have to do, Midoriya-chan, everyone will support you."
......
"Shie Hassaikai," a large group of police officers and heroes rushed into the old mansion of this criminal organization. Leading them was, of course, All Might.
"What are you all doing here!?"
"We received a report from a good samaritan. We heard that the young master of 'Shie Hassaikai' had his hands chopped off, so we came over immediately."
"........"
All Might's business-like tone made everyone in 'Shie Hassaikai' fall silent, unable to refute. The whole organization had been wiped out last night, and this was an embarrassing matter to bring up. Now, they had to let the police and heroes investigate, which was utterly humiliating.
All Might and Officer Tsukauchi walked into the inner hall of 'Shie Hassaikai,' where the young master, Chisaki, was sitting in the main hall. His arms were completely gone, and his face was as pale as a corpse.
After a brief silence, Chisaki was the first to speak, breaking the quiet.
"Go ahead, laugh if you want. Heroes and police, you really underestimated us this time."
"........"
No one laughed. In fact, All Might couldn't help but feel like punching the guy in front of him. Fortunately, Officer Tsukauchi gave him a sharp look, calming All Might's anger.
"Ahem, let's stick to business. Please tell us everything that happened last night."
"Heroes and police, you're all a bunch of hypocrites..."
Chisaki mocked coldly, but All Might and Officer Tsukauchi completely ignored him. This guy was in his current state entirely because of his own actions.
It was just a formality. All Might and Officer Tsukauchi were almost ready to leave, and 'Shie Hassaikai' had been taken over by the police, officially for securing the crime scene.
Midoriya Izuku had contacted All Might the night before, telling him everything he had done and entrusting him with what was to come.
There had to be a breakthrough in Eri's case and 'Shie Hassaikai,' but clearly, the heroes and police couldn't play that role from a legal standpoint. So Midoriya Izuku took action...
For villains who couldn't be punished by the law, he would take matters into his own hands.
Cutting off Chisaki's hands and breaking into 'Shie Hassaikai' had already given the heroes and police a reason to act. The mob could use dirty tricks, and so could the heroes and police.
As long as there was a reason to intervene, everything that followed could be dragged out. Even though everyone knew it was Midoriya Izuku who had cut off Chisaki's hands, the heroes and police would just lie through their teeth, first collecting enough evidence at the scene before making their move.
Normally, heroes and police who worked tirelessly to protect the citizens wouldn't tolerate criminals, but this time, they made an exception. First, they would deal with 'Shie Hassaikai.'
"Wow! Midoriya-kun came to find me just now and said some really exciting things!!"
At U.A. High School, in the cafeteria, Takeyama Urei, looking as beautiful as ever, was eating her meal when Midoriya came over to her and said some words of gratitude and thanks. She immediately misunderstood and twisted them without thinking.
"Eh? Midoriya-kun came to find you too? He came to talk to me about gratitude and things like that?!"
"Eh!?"
Uraraka Ochako was shocked, and at the same time, Takeyama Urei froze. So it wasn't just her?
"Did Midoriya say something like that to you too?"
Todoroki Shoto, who was walking over with curry rice in hand, had just seen Midoriya and heard him say some words that sounded like a farewell, leaving him feeling confused.
Meanwhile, Bakugo Katsuki, who had been walking towards them with a stunned expression, suddenly approached with a look like he'd just seen a ghost.
"Ah, Bakugo! Did Midoriya-kun say anything strange to you too?!"
"How do you know?!"
The class president, who had rushed over, wore the same ghostly expression as Bakugo Katsuki. He had heard Midoriya say some cringey things like "thank you," and it had made him feel uncomfortable.
"What's going on...?"
At that moment, everyone was taken aback. What on earth was Midoriya Izuku doing?
