Side: Midoriya Izuku
We were moving from the flood zone to the central plaza after defeating the Villains. Asui and Mineta were with me, hiding our bodies in the water while we watched. The Villain with hands all over him and the Villain with a visible brain were laughing after breaking Aizawa-sensei’s arm. And the Villain who had sent us somewhere else earlier was walking over to the Villain over there to report in.
"Shigaraki Tomura, Thirteen has been neutralized, but one student got away."
"Hah... Kurogiri, if you hadn’t had that [Warp Gate], I would’ve smashed you to pieces. Hah... no matter how you look at it, we can’t take on dozens of Heroes. Ah, game over. Should we head back?"
Let’s go back after denting the Symbol of Peace’s pride a little.
The man approached Asui and tried to cover her face with his hand. And then... nothing happened.
"That’s reeeally impressive. Eraser Head."
The Villain with the exposed brain slammed sensei to the ground, and I moved toward the Villain with the hands.
"L-let go of me!!"
I threw a punch.
'It didn’t break? The adjustment to my power is like this now? No, it landed cleanly. I got him with a Smash.'
Then, before I knew it, the Villain with the exposed brain was standing in front of me, blocking my attack.
"A Smash... so you’re an All Might fanboy? Well, whatever."
Kill him, Nomu.
I just turned my head, searching for a way out of this situation, but the Villain’s fist was already right in front of my face. Frightened by the incoming attack, I shut my eyes. Tears welled up. Was it frustration at being unable to do anything? Or fear that I was going to die here? As I thought that, the word "give up" floated into my head. I don’t know how much time passed, but then I wondered.
'Why isn’t the attack coming?'
I opened my eyes and tried to make sense of what was happening. Right in front of me, the Villain with the exposed brain had collapsed, and on top of him, a person in a white robe had placed a hand on the Villain’s head. As the man raised his hand, blood began to pour from the Villain’s brain, and the twitching Villain soon stopped moving. I couldn’t understand it at first, but as time passed, I began to accept the situation.
'..... He’s dead?'
______________________________________
After finding Aizawa-sensei, I quickly descended the mountain terrain and moved into the central plaza. When the Villain with the hands tried to attack Asui, Midoriya tried to save her by attacking, but failed and looked like he was about to be counterattacked. I think I moved on instinct then. I activated [Sense] and looked. That Villain’s soul seemed like a mixture of many different people’s souls. I approached him, activated the Hidden Blade to extend the blade, and stabbed his brain. The Villain collapsed, and I spoke to him.
"May you find peace, all of you. I pray that in death, you find the rest you seek. Sleep well."
As I mourned them, I pulled the Hidden Blade free. Then I turned my head toward the Villain.
"Shigaraki Tomura... Nomu has been completely immobilized."
"What? That hooded bastard!! He came out of nowhere and killed a valuable Nomu, a Nomu meant for All Might!!"
The man scratched at his neck in irritation. Blood ran from his throat as he sneered at me.
"Hahaha, look at that. A Hero killing people? No, you’re not even a Hero anymore, are you? You’re a murderer."
"Nonsense."
"What?"
"How many people did you kill to make that thing? Don’t talk about human lives so lightly."
"What? You knew? But how? Is that your Quirk?"
I ignored him and drew the longsword at my waist.
"Sorano-kun?"
"Midoriya, take sensei and evacuate. Now."
"What are you talking about? Sorano! Even you can’t beat that guy..."
"Go."
When I spoke coldly, they flinched and, following my order, began evacuating with sensei.

Side: Shigaraki Tomura
'Is that guy insane? He’s coming at us alone?'
That bastard drew the sword at his waist and walked toward us.
'Ahahaha, what an idiot. Letting anger take over and charging straight in?'
Just as I thought that, three knives appeared in his left hand and he threw them. I ducked to avoid them as they flew toward me. But two of the knives collided in midair and changed course. I barely shifted to the side and dodged, but Kurogiri couldn’t read the attack in time, and the knives pierced his left eye and abdomen.
'That bastard read our movements in advance before throwing them. One of them was to change the trajectory.'
Kurogiri stopped moving from the pain. While I was analyzing that bastard, his next attack came suddenly. He thrust a longsword into my shoulder, and I grabbed the blade and used my Quirk to break it apart, but he let go of the sword and cut the hand that was holding it with a short dagger. I reacted in time and dodged, but I was cut pretty deeply. One shoulder was injured, and the other side had been slashed deeply, so neither of my arms could move properly. And from that door over there...
"It’s okay now! Why? Because I’m here!!"
The final boss has arrived.
______________________________________
I had neutralized the Villain and turned toward the sound.
"It’s okay now! Why? Because I’m here!!"
Even if Heroes were always late, they really were late, but with All Might’s appearance, I felt relieved inside. No matter how I used 'his' technique and [Sense], fighting that many Villains head-on was impossible. And the Villains...
"... Kurogiri, let’s go back. It’s game over. All Might, I’ll kill you next time. And you...
Next time, I’ll kill you."
With that, the Villains fled, and All Might and the students subdued the remaining ones. Once it was over, Iida’s voice rang out from the center.
"Class 1-A president, Iida Tenya! I have returned!"
Iida and the teachers had come here. But...
"Already..."
"...is it over?"
The situation had already ended. The injured teachers were taken away for treatment, the Villains were handed over to the police, and the incident was over. And I...
was being interrogated by the police.
