Chapter 048: Shie Hassaikai's Actions
Aizawa walked over to No. 13 and quietly asked, "No. 13, where's All Might? Didn't we agree to meet here?"
No. 13 paused for a moment and then responded softly, "Senpai, well... it seems he pushed his abilities to the limit on the way here and is currently resting in the lounge."
Aizawa frowned at her words. "That doesn't sound very reasonable."
After all, before they arrived, the principal had already told them that, to be safe, three people were assigned to supervise the training today.
Now, it seemed All Might had pushed himself to his limits.
"Sigh…"
Aizawa sighed, looking somewhat helpless. "Well, we'll just have to start without him."
Meanwhile, at Shie Hassaikai:
"Bad news! That boy, Ezaki, might be in danger," a man wearing a birdbeak mask said urgently to Chisaki Kai.
At that moment, Chisaki Kai was in the lobby handling some matters. Hearing this, he looked at the man and asked, "What's going on?"
"I've heard that, as we discussed earlier, someone's been gathering thugs to plot against All Might. Well, Ezaki is also on the hit list," the man with the birdbeak mask continued.
"All Might is just one of them. But Ezaki is also on the list," he added.
"A group of incompetent fools. With their abilities, there's no way they could kill Ezaki," Chisaki Kai said in a low voice.
"Maybe those thugs are like that, but do you know who called them together this time?" the man in the bird-beak mask continued.
"Who?"
Chisaki Kai looked at him with some interest.
"All...For...One's apprentice!" the man in the bird-beak mask said, his voice shaking.
At that moment, Chisaki Kai's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his pupils contracted sharply.
The name "All For One" was known in society as the ruler of the dark underworld, the king of the entire criminal syndicate.
Even the elders of Shie Hassaikai would tremble in fear at the mere mention of his name.
"How reliable is this information?" Chisaki Kai asked in a deep voice.
"One hundred percent. I got this through my friends. Their target this time is All Might and Ezaki Kitazawa. So, what do you think we should do?" the man in the bird-beak mask asked quietly.
"Ha!"
Chisaki Kai sighed, deep in thought. On one side was All For One, and on the other side, Ezaki Kitazawa. If they took action and All For One found out, Shie Hassaikai would inevitably be implicated.
But if they didn't act, the boy they had their eye on, who could potentially challenge All For One's rule, might disappear today.
The risks on both sides were enormous.
This was truly a headache.
"We absolutely can't let Shie Hassaikai get involved, but we can't let that damn All For One kill someone we're interested in. Gather everyone, change clothes, head to Ezaki Kitazawa's location, and lay low. If we see Ezaki Kitazawa is in danger, we'll rescue him and pull out!" Chisaki Kai said firmly.
"Should we report this to the elders?" the man in the bird-beak mask asked.
"I am the leader of Shie Hassaikai now. Everything goes through me," Chisaki Kai said calmly.
Chisaki Kai knew well that if this were reported to the elders, they would immediately oppose him taking such action.
"Understood!"
"Gather everyone!" Chisaki Kai commanded.
"Understood!"

At the USJ training ground.
"Before we start, let me go over a few points," No. 13 said calmly. "As you all know, my Quirk is Black Hole. Anything I touch gets sucked in and crushed."
"That's why your Quirk is useful for rescue operations during disasters, right?" Midoriya Izuku asked.
No. 13 nodded. "Yes, but this power can also easily kill people."
"I think some of you have Quirks like that too. Our superhero society looks like it's strictly controlled by Quirk usage, establishing a system based on qualifications. But one wrong step, and you could easily kill someone. We all have Quirks that can be dangerous like that, so please remember this."
"I'm sure you've all seen the potential of your own powers through Aizawa-sensei's physical tests."
"And through All Might's combat training, you've experienced just how dangerous your powers can be when fighting others. In this class, I want you to change your mindset."
"Learn how to use your Quirks to save others. Your powers aren't for hurting people—they exist to save people. I hope you all understand that during this class," No. 13 said, emphasizing the core message of the training.
To be honest, even Ezaki Kitazawa was a bit shocked. It was mostly because of how well they explained the core idea and expanded on it!
