Chapter 365: Kaminari’s Murderous Intention!

"This is the first time I've seen a teacher so interested," Kaminari joked.

"The training area is just ahead," Aizawa replied expressionlessly, tossing the sentence over his shoulder as if to say, if you're done talking, then hurry up and get training.

"Alright, alright. Let's talk about combat Hero classification."

Kaminari quickly resumed the conversation.

Now that he had started, it would be too frustrating to leave it unfinished.

"After all, the whole point of this system is to clarify the power gap and combat comparison between Pro Heroes and villains. It would help the Hero Public Safety Commission deploy resources more effectively and give Pro Heroes clearer situational awareness."

As he spoke, he didn't notice the faint glow on the golden band around Momo's right wrist—it was her recording device starting up.

"I divide combat strength into four tiers: S, A, B, and C. Basically, it takes two or three C-class Heroes—or one B-class Hero—to handle a Wolf-level villain."

"And three to four B-class Heroes—or one A-class Hero—should be able to manage a Tiger-level villain."

"The gap widens from there. A Demon-level villain would require over ten A-class Heroes—or one to two S-class Heroes." Kaminari raised his hand as he explained.

"Do you have examples for these A, B, and Demon levels you mentioned?" Todoroki couldn't help asking.

Kaminari smiled. He had been expecting someone to ask, though he was slightly surprised it came from Todoroki. He thought it would've been Tetsutetsu or Bakugo.

"The standard for A-class is Mr. Aizawa. I've seen firsthand how he held off a hundred enemies alone, so I'd place him at A-class, which probably equates to top-tier Pro Heroes like Endeavor, Fat Gum, and Hawks."

At that, everyone turned their eyes toward Aizawa, recalling how he had charged into the enemy mob during the USJ Incident.

"As for S-class and Demon-level…" Kaminari pursed his lips and then threw out a question to the group: "Think about this—if All Might became a villain, how many A-class combat Heroes would it take to bring him down?"

"What?!" Everyone was stunned.

Midoriya's hand trembled as he gripped his notebook. He wanted to argue that the "Symbol of Peace" would never become a villain—but like the others, he found himself imagining the scenario.

What would happen if a villain with All Might's level of power actually existed?

The thought left many of them horrified. Mineta, in particular, looked like he was about to pass out.

"It'd be the end of the world..."

"Many of you saw Wolfram on I-Island. That's a textbook Ghost-level threat."

"If All Might hadn't been there that day—if Wolfram had that power without Quirk-enhancing machines—how many so-called top-tier Heroes would it have taken to stop him?" Kaminari continued.

"That's true. If there are Heroes with All Might's power, it stands to reason there could be villains of the same level," Momo said seriously.

She might not have known much about All For One, but that didn't stop her from understanding the logic.

With that, she looked ahead and asked, "Sensei, if a villain did exist at All Might's level, how many A-class Heroes would it take to handle them?"

The question brought a heavy silence. Aizawa squinted and went deep into thought.

Unlike the students, he had some knowledge about All Might's injuries, and he had witnessed his peak power. So he calculated based on that.

Suddenly, Aizawa stopped walking. They had arrived at a clearing—flat land that would serve as their training ground—but he didn't step forward.

Instead, he stood at the edge and looked out.

"Not enough," he said calmly.

"Huh?" Kaminari and the others turned toward him.

"Ten top-tier Heroes—what you call A-class—might be able to deal with someone like Wolfram. But they'd fall far short of All Might."

While he had never personally fought Wolfram, as Class A's homeroom teacher, he had thoroughly reviewed the incident.

"You have to understand—Wolfram doesn't compare to All Might. The only ones who can handle All Might… are others at his level."

After saying that, he added silently in his heart: like that man…

Some students frowned at his words. Others didn't seem convinced, especially those who had been on I-Island.

After all, they'd seen All Might get battered, bleeding, crushed under metal, only to revert to his weakened form in the end.

So even if All Might was strong, they didn't think he was that far above Wolfram.

Still, no one dared speak up against the teacher or the Symbol of Peace.

Kaminari suddenly had a thought and grinned. "You know, we could refine the classification even further."

"For example, if a normal adult's combat power is rated as 5, then a C-class Hero's baseline might be 50 or so."

"Alright, that's enough. The training ground is here. Let's begin Quirk training."

As the students stepped out of the dense forest into the open clearing—clearly customized for their use—Aizawa collected his thoughts and resumed his teaching role.

"The school has prepared individualized training plans based on your Quirks. But before that, there's one more thing."

"Since Classes A and B are training together this time, to manage all forty of you, Principal Nezu invited… them."

"That's right!"

Just as he finished speaking, four colorful figures suddenly appeared from the far side of the clearing. Despite the space being empty moments before, they had somehow materialized.

"We are four in one!"

"The twinkling gaze that locks onto you!"

"Here to assist!"

"The mysterious entrance!"

"Cute and powerful cat missile!"

"Wild, Wild Pussycats — Full Team!"

How could one describe the atmosphere on site?

Silent? Dead silent? Or maybe even terrifyingly silent?

Everyone stood slack-jawed, unable to utter a single word.

To clarify, the Pussycats' appearance wasn't especially over-the-top—except for one of them.

A muscular man, bare-chested with rippling abs, thick black beard, and dressed in a reddish-brown cat skirt…

Yeah, it was… a lot to take in.

"My Quirk is 'Search!'" said the green-haired woman in the yellow dress, standing far right. "I can locate and assess up to one hundred individuals at once—strengths, weaknesses, and all!"

"What!!" Kaminari nearly shouted.

While the others remained calm, Kaminari was genuinely shaken.

Why? Because he was terrified that his Quirk situation could be exposed!

And what had she just said? That she could track people's locations?

If she could keep tabs on everyone, how was he supposed to face off against someone like Kurogiri in the future?

Honestly, for the first time, he felt real murderous intent toward someone who had never hurt him or his loved ones.

No one liked the idea of being tracked all the time.

"And I use my Quirk 'Terra' to mold the terrain for optimal training conditions!" Pixie-Bob, dressed in a blue skirt, struck a cheerful pose.

"Then I use my Quirk 'Telepathy' to give real-time guidance to multiple people!" added Mandalay in her red dress.

"Finally, I'm in charge of discipline!" said Tiger. "I'll be handling the rough ones with punches and kicks. Don't worry, I don't go easy."

Tiger's Quirk was 'Pliability,' and despite appearances, Tiger was biologically female. It was said she had gained that burly physique during a trip to Thailand.

Whether 'he' became 'she,' or 'she' adopted a masculine appearance with some… local assistance, no one really knew.

"This is… just too much to process," Kirishima muttered under his breath.

"Agreed..." Ashido groaned beside him.
