"What's going to?!"
The Class A students who just arrived were shocked.
Melissa turned to look at the area sealed off by iron gates and gasped, "What's happening? Why did the security system just turn on by itself?"
Right after she said that,
a dark, misty gas spread out in the central tower hall in front of everyone.
That familiar sight immediately gave all the Class A students a bad feeling.
And there it was.
After the black mist faded, several people walked out.
The guy in the lead, covered in artificial hands on his body and face, was none other than Shigaraki Tomura.
A bunch of others appeared with him too.
Momo Yaoyorozu's eyes went wide when she saw one of them. "It's you!"
The girl had tea-colored hair in a bun, wore a female high school uniform, and looked pretty cute.
But she gave off a dangerous vibe.
Toga Himiko.
The one who almost killed her before.
"Ohh! It's little Yaoyorozu! Long time no see!"
Toga Himiko spotted Momo too and waved excitedly.
Next to Toga was a big guy with a similar hairstyle and hair color to Katsuki Bakugo, but with a clear scar on his left cheek where a chunk of skin was missing.
Muscular.
Beside Shigaraki Tomura stood a young guy with black spiky hair, plus heavy scars and stitches on his jaw and under his eyes.
Dabi.
There were also several new members Class A hadn't seen before.
They'd all been inspired by Stain and joined the League of Villains as fresh recruits.
"Where's that time-controlling bastard?"
Shigaraki Tomura spread his hands, sounding pissed.
"Who... who are they?"
Melissa didn't know the League of Villains and looked terrified.
"There's more of them. New members, huh."
Shoto Todoroki immediately shifted into combat mode, flames on one side and ice on the other.
Everyone else did the same.
Muscular roared, "That kid hurt me before, and I'm not letting that slide! Hey! Brats! Where's Arthur?"
"I really didn't expect to run into the League of Villains here!"
Izuku Midoriya clenched his fists instinctively and shouted, "Yaoyorozu, take Melissa and the others upstairs to find All Might! Hurry!"
Everyone immediately looked at Yaoyorozu, Tsuyu Asui, and the other girls who weren't as combat-focused.
They all agreed. Tenya Iida added, "Girls, go upstairs now and warn All Might and the pros! We'll hold them off here!"
This wasn't the time to argue about equal treatment.
Momo Yaoyorozu made a quick decision, not caring about her rivalry with Melissa anymore. "Melissa, how do we get up from here?"
Melissa pushed down her fear and pointed to the corner of the hall on the left. "The emergency stairs over there should go up."
"Let's move!"
Momo grabbed Melissa's wrist, called to the other girls, and ran toward the stairs.
"I asked you, where the hell is Arthur?"
But before the girls had gone ten meters, Muscular closed the gap almost instantly.
His muscles expanded fast, making his punching arm three times its normal size.
"So fast!"
Even after seeing Arthur's strength, Momo and the others couldn't help being impressed.
He was huge, yet that quick.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
A gust of wind pushed Muscular back.
Yoarashi Inasa suddenly jumped in front of him. "You guys go. We'll handle them."
"Yoarashi Inasa!"
"Thanks!"
Momo didn't stop. She led the girls upstairs fast.
Black Mist stood behind Shigaraki Tomura and said, "I've already checked. Arthur isn't outside. He's almost certainly inside this central tower."
"Go find him. Quickly."
Shigaraki gave the order, then flashed a twisted smile at Izuku Midoriya and the others blocking his way. "Guess we'll just pluck out all the hero sprouts we missed last time, huh?"
"Attack!"
Shoto Todoroki struck first, sending a wave of ice mountains at the League.
But this time, Shigaraki had brought way more than the cannon fodder from the USJ Incident.
His attack didn't land.
Dabi waved his right hand and released blue flames, instantly melting Shoto's ice.
Shoto's eyes widened. "What?!"
"Your Quirk isn't that special, Shoto Todoroki."
Dabi's voice was creepy.
"You know my name."
Shoto frowned hard.
"I really want to meet Arthur too. If you get in my way, I'll kill you."
Toga Himiko pulled out her knife and aimed at Denki Kaminari and the others.
Denki dodged frantically, also freaked out.
She looked cute, but all her strikes were aimed at vital spots.
Magne and Spinner from the League attacked at the same time.
Katsuki Bakugo, Tokoyami, Eijiro Kirishima, Tenya Iida, and Mezo Shoji saw this and jumped in fast.
Class A and the League of Villains started their second big fight right there in the hall.
Shigaraki Tomura, though, kept his eyes locked on Izuku Midoriya.
"You really piss me off..."
Shigaraki walked toward Izuku step by step, pointing at him. "Besides that time-control guy, you're the one who annoys me the most, you kid with a Quirk so similar to All Might's."
---
Meanwhile, the Black Mist didn't bother stopping Momo Yaoyorozu and the others. it was focused on finding Arthur.
That let Momo, Melissa, and their group make it safely to the upstairs venue, though they were scared out of their minds.
But through the ceiling above, they saw something that made their hair stand on end.
Inside the venue, All Might and a bunch of pro heroes were all tied up by a group of masked terrorists.
Right then, the terrorists were holding Melissa's dad, David Shield, hostage and taking the elevator to the top floor of the tower.
