Chapter 376: Tetsutetsu’s Encounter!

"Quick! Put this on her!"

Momo handed the newly made gas mask to Awase of Class B, then quickly helped Aoyama Yuga put his on.

"Oh oh oh, thank you, thank you!" Awase accepted the gas mask with a joyful expression.

"Where is this poisonous gas coming from? And what's with that blue fire?!" Aoyama gripped his mask tightly, clearly panicking.

"I'm not sure. But it's definitely not a natural disaster. It's most likely man-made." Momo replied calmly, eyes fixed on the blue-lit night sky as two golden pistols materialized in her hands.

"Get ready!"

Sure enough, Mandalay's telepathy came in the next moment, confirming her suspicion.

"Then what should we do now?" Awase asked helplessly as he helped Shiozaki put on a gas mask.

Even though he was a boy, he instinctively chose to follow Momo's lead. Her calm demeanor gave people a natural sense of security.

"There are probably others who've passed out from the gas. Please take us to them, Awase-san!" Momo made a decision after just a few seconds of thought.

"Got it!"

With a clear goal in mind, both Awase and Aoyama gradually calmed down, and the three quickly headed toward Class B's waiting area.

To scare Class A, Class B had made a simple plan earlier. They were waiting in pairs at predetermined spots along the courage test route.

Now they were rushing there, delivering gas masks to everyone before regrouping and heading back to the facility together!

You had to admit, the Hero Course lived up to its name. Even in the face of a sudden accident, everyone sprang into action immediately.

They were people who aspired to become heroes!

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the forest, Tetsutetsu was helping Kyoka toward the facility.

"Kyoka, can't your costume fly? You should head back first!" Tetsutetsu shouted as he ran.

"No way, I'm not leaving you alone right now!" Kyoka refused.

Tetsutetsu groaned. "I'll be fine, but you're the one at risk. What am I supposed to tell Kaminari if something happens to you?!"

"Then stay by my side. How do you know there aren't any villains who can fly?" Kyoka argued, then added before he could respond, "Fine, we'll go together. It's safer that way."

"...Alright." Tetsutetsu sighed, scanning their surroundings warily. "But put your combat suit on!"

He couldn't help but feel a bit jealous that Kyoka could wear her battle gear anytime. Facing an enemy without his "cloak of justice" just felt off.

"I already put it on," Kyoka said from behind. Tetsutetsu turned and saw the black, close-fitting combat suit already covering her.

"That's so convenient!"

"Tetsutetsu, look out!!"

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Kyoka's expression change drastically.

Bang!!

A powerful stream of water blasted Tetsutetsu away. He hadn't had time to activate his Quirk, so as he slammed into the ground, dirt and rocks tore at his clothes, leaving him in a sorry state.

"Ugh... What the hell was that?!"

Coughing up water, Tetsutetsu staggered to his feet and looked toward the source.

Sure enough, a tall, thin man with black hair and blue eyes was walking toward them, a football-sized ball of water hovering above his raised palm.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Bo Tao Blue Gun of the League of Villains' Development Team. You'd better remember that name, or you might write it wrong on the wanted poster." The blue-eyed man smiled as he spoke.

"League of Villains…"

The name instantly reminded Tetsutetsu and Kyoka of the USJ incident. As for Hosu City, they hadn't experienced that firsthand, so the impression wasn't as strong.

"As for my mission… can you come with me, Tetsutetsu? There's a higher-up who wants to meet you." Bo Tao Blue Gun spoke teasingly.

"That depends on whether you're strong enough to take me. Actually, I should be the one inviting you! Want to come along with me instead?" Tetsutetsu shot back without flinching, activating his Quirk and transforming his body into steel.

"Tetsutetsu, Mandalay just told us not to engage," Kyoka said hesitantly.

"They're attacking us. We don't have a choice. Do you think they'll just let us go?" Tetsutetsu said firmly, his steel fist clenched.

"True..." Kyoka nodded.

"Two against one. Let's finish this fast!"

With that, Tetsutetsu charged forward. His explosive leg strength allowed him to move as fast as Iida in short bursts.

He quickly appeared in front of Bo Tao Blue Gun, leaped into the air, twisted his body, and launched a powerful spinning kick.

"Steel Tornado!!"

Boom!

The collision between the water blast and his steel leg marked the beginning of a fierce battle in this part of the forest.

"As expected of a pro."

At the entrance of the dorm facility, Dabi looked up at Aizawa Shota, who had just dodged with his metal bandages and clung to the wall.

He smiled and extended his right hand to attack again.

"Not happening!"

Aizawa's eyes glowed red as he used his Quirk to erase Dabi's Quirk.

Swish!

He then threw out his bandages, wrapping Dabi tightly, and yanked him forward.

Bang!!

Aizawa slammed his knee into Dabi's head mid-air. The moment they landed, he pinned Dabi's face to the cold ground.

"Talk."

"Your objective. How many of you are there? Where are they positioned?!"

It took less than three seconds for the fight to end. Aizawa's hand-to-hand skills and Quirk were brutally efficient in close combat.

"Why…"

"Because this is what happens otherwise!"

Crack!

Without hesitation, Aizawa broke Dabi's left arm. He was running out of patience, and his frustration showed.

"Next will be your right arm. Stay cooperative. If I break your legs, escorting you will be a pain."

"Getting angry, Eraser Head?" Dabi glanced past him and smirked.

Crack!

Aizawa immediately snapped his right arm.

"Sensei!!"

At that moment, Iida, Ojiro, Mineta, and Koda burst out of the forest. Nao, arms already broken and wrapped in bandages, stood up behind them.

"What?!"

Aizawa was shocked.

"You really are a hero through and through. Eraser Head, your students matter to you, right? Then protect them… to the end."

As he finished speaking, Dabi's body dissolved into a pool of black mud and scattered into the ground.
