View cover.
I’d been wandering the alleys, turning people into modified humans.
"Is this enough?"
Recently, I had confirmed Mahito’s abilities.
His main ability was the cursed technique [Idle Transfiguration]. That was the core of it.
And sensory interference... Apparently that only worked because I was a curse. Still, in places packed with negative emotions, the effect weakened.
As for durability, I wasn’t sure. I’d been hit by a Hero, but I hadn’t taken any damage. I’d have to test further to see whether that was just because I was a curse, or whether I needed to directly attack the soul like Mahito did.
Cursed energy... This body definitely had cursed energy.
And Black Flash... I didn’t get it. I couldn’t even begin to understand how you were supposed to hit cursed energy with a time lag of less than 0.000001 seconds.
And [Domain Expansion]... I couldn’t use that either. Seeing it and actually using it were apparently different things.
After running all kinds of experiments, I’d captured people, turned them into modified humans, and even made a few with multiple souls.
While I was roaming the alley, I heard someone speak from behind me.
"Good day."
"Who are you?"
A figure wrapped in something black stood there.
That guy’s definitely Kurogiri.
"Someone would like to meet you."
"Who?"
"Please, follow me for now."
"Sure~"
I decided to follow him for the moment.
There was someone there with a hand covering his face.
"You’re the one who called for me?"
"No...."
[I was the one who called you.]
A man’s voice came from the television.
[I have been watching what you’ve been doing for some time. That ability to freely reshape bodies with a touch is incredible!]
[I would very much like you to help us.]
"Okay!"
[Hm? You’re agreeing so readily.]
"It looks more interesting that way~"
[Hmm... is that so? In any case, I look forward to working with you.]
"Yep! Likewise! Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Mahito."
[You may call me Shigaraki.]
"......Shigaraki Tomura."
"My name is Kurogiri."
"Yep! Nice to meet you."
[Then let me ask you for a favor right away.]
"What is it?"
[We have some modified humans we’re creating right now. I’d like you to help with them.]
"Sure~"
And so I joined the League of Villains and helped create modified humans.
Then, on the day of the USJ invasion...
"Hey, Shigaraki, take this."
I handed Shigaraki Tomura nine modified humans.
"Just throw them. I made it so they won’t attack you, but they’ll attack everyone else, so be careful."
"...Yeah. I’ll make good use of them."
"Mm~"
With that, Kurogiri and Shigaraki Tomura headed for the USJ.
"Now then, I wonder what kind of situation will unfold. Heh heh heh."

Side: Shigaraki Tomura
Shigaraki Tomura was currently using a Nomu to fight All Might.
The Nomu was stabbing into All Might’s side.
Midoriya ran forward, trying to save All Might.
"Kurogiri."
"Yes."
Kurogiri tried to stop Midoriya.
But he was grabbed by Bakugo.
"Move! You’re in the way!! Deku!!!"
Then the Nomu’s body began to freeze.
"I heard that your role was to carry out All Might’s assassination."
At that moment, Kirishima tried to attack Shigaraki.
"Hah!"
Shigaraki easily dodged.
And All Might broke free through the ice.
"The exit has been secured... This is... a pinch..."
"You idiot! Just as I thought!"
"The places that can become mist warp gates are limited! You hid the real body inside that mist gate, didn’t you!? Right!?"
"With a body that’s all mist and immune to physical attacks, you’d never think, 'This is dangerous'!!!"
"Ghk!!"
"Hey! Don’t move!!! If I decide you made a suspicious move, I’ll make you explode right away!!!"
Shigaraki watched the situation.
"They’ve already figured it out, and everyone’s almost unhurt... Amazing. Kids these days... The League of Villains... How embarrassing!"
Then Shigaraki gave the order to the Nomu.
"Nomu, blow up that brat. Take back the exit."
The Nomu shattered its frozen body and regenerated.
"Guess I should use what he gave me too."
With that, Shigaraki pulled the modified humans from his pocket.
He threw them at the students.
The modified humans swelled up and charged at the children.
"Ghk!"
All Might tried to subdue the modified humans, but the Nomu sent him flying.
The modified humans tried to attack the children, but Todoroki froze some of them solid.
Some of the others tried to dodge and attack, but they were subdued.
"Ah... You said they’d be useful, but they’re useless..."
Shigaraki scratched at his neck.
After that, Shigaraki complained to All Might and attacked him with the Nomu, but he was pushed back instead.
The Nomu was sent flying high into the sky.
"Ha! You really have gotten weaker. If this were your prime, five hits would’ve been enough. I ended up landing over five hundred hits."
"Cheater!"
"Now then, villain. Let’s bring this to an end."
"You’ve gotten weaker! That bastard!! Cheating bastard!!!"
"What’s wrong? Why aren’t you coming?"
"Then I’ll go to you!!"
Just as All Might rushed toward Shigaraki, a modified human charged at All Might.
"What!?"
At this moment, Shigaraki and Kurogiri retreated quickly.
"Game over... See you next time, Symbol of Peace."
"Ghk..."

Side: Mahito
The gate to the hideout opened.
"Welcome back~"
[Welcome back, Tomura.]
"Boss, you didn’t weaken at all."
[Nothing has changed.]
[Though you did underestimate them too easily... yes, perhaps you looked down on them. Still, it’s fortunate we used such a cheap-sounding name as the League of Villains. But..."
Another voice came from the TV.
{By the way, what happened to the Nomu, our work along with you and Master Mahito? Was it not recovered?}
Kurogiri answered in his place.
"It was blown away. If we can’t determine its exact coordinates, even a warp can’t find it. We didn’t have time for that anyway."
{We went to the trouble of making it powerful enough to rival All Might... Well... it can’t be helped, I suppose. What a pity.}
"So, Shigaraki, how were my modified humans?"
"Completely useless..."
"Eh~"
Then I stood up.
"Anyway, I’m going to go gather more modified humans for a while~"
[Understood, Mahito.]
And so I left the hideout.
"Then I suppose I should show up in the next story when Hero Killer Stain appears."
With that, I vanished into the darkness of the alley.
