Chapter 049: My Head Is Worth a Lot

While everyone was praising No. 13, Ezaki Kitazawa's face grew serious. 

In the original *My Hero Academia* story, the League of Villains appeared at this time. 

Ezaki's eyes scanned the USJ training grounds back and forth, but he couldn't spot anything suspicious. 

"Ezaki-kun, what are you looking at? Aizawa-sensei asked us to get ready and head to the flood training area first," 

Jiro Kyoka asked, puzzled. 

Ezaki Kitazawa snapped out of it and smiled. "Nothing, just impressed by the scale of this training ground. It's so grand, I just wanted to take a few more looks." 

After saying that, he quickly caught up with them. 

As for whether Shigaraki Tomura and the others would show up, Ezaki Kitazawa wasn't sure. If they did, he'd let them taste death; if not, then they were lucky. 

But just as everyone was stepping off the stairs and walking a few steps, suddenly all the lights in the training ground went out. 

The lights flickered, sparking wildly. 

"What's going on?" Kirishima Eijiro asked, curious. 

"I don't know, looks like there's a problem with the lights here," Kaminari Denki replied. 

"Lights short-circuited?" 

"I have a bad feeling about this," Mineta said seriously. 

While they were talking, Aizawa Shouta and No. 13's faces grew very tense. 

At that moment, the fountain's water in the center stopped and started trickling, followed by a small purple whirlpool that began to expand at a visible speed. 

Then, strange-looking people started stepping out from the purple mist. 

Aizawa Shouta furrowed his brow and shouted loudly, "Everyone, gather together and stay still. No. 13, protect the students." 

"What is that?" 

"Too many people are coming out!" 

"I don't know... could this be part of the training?" 

"Maybe it's like the entrance exam, where they don't warn us and just start?" 

"Why... why do they look like villains?" Mineta said, trembling. 

At that moment, a voice came that shocked everyone. 

"That's right... they are all villains!" 

"Ah!!!" 

Almost everyone was terrified by Aizawa Shouta's words. 

Standing in the back, Ezaki Kitazawa's face also froze when he saw the last few people walking out of Kurogiri. 

Because... it wasn't just one Nomu like in the original story. 

There were four! 

One of them even had wings. 

"It seems like a lot has changed since I arrived," Ezaki Kitazawa thought to himself. 

Four Nomus... Honestly, this USJ event was going to be tricky. If all four had the same abilities as in the original—shock absorption and rapid regeneration—many people here might be in big trouble. 

"No. 13, Aizawa Shouta, and Ezaki Kitazawa... one target is missing. According to the teacher schedule we received a few days ago, All Might should be here today," Kurogiri said in a low voice. 

"Where are they? It's rare that I bring so many guys for this, but All Might... the symbol of peace is not here!" Shigaraki Tomura said calmly.

"Shigaraki, since All Might isn't here, we can start with that guy, Ezaki Kitazawa. After all, he caused us some trouble last time," Kurogiri said from the side.

"It seems that's the only option. That guy has to die here in this USJ training ground, together with All Might," Shigaraki Tomura said in a deep voice.

As he finished speaking, a small group of ants appeared in front of them, slowly making their way toward Ezaki Kitazawa.

"Are they... villains?"

"This is U.A.! Isn't that a bit too reckless?" 

"Teacher, where are the intruder sensors?" Yaoyorozu Momo asked, stepping forward.

"Of course, there are sensors, but they seem to be useless now. Among them, there might be someone with a Quirk that interferes with the sensors," No. 13 said in a low voice.

"We don't know if they are only here or if they're targeting the entire school. But they've chosen a location some distance from U.A., and as the teacher said, some of them might have a Quirk that can interfere with the sensors. They're actually not stupid!"

"This seems like a carefully planned attack with a specific purpose," Todoroki Shoto, who had been silent until now, said.

During this conversation, Aizawa Shouta suddenly shouted.

"Number 13, evacuate with the students! I'll hold them off!" Aizawa Shouta immediately switched to a combat stance.

However, it didn't do much good, as in a matter of moments, the group had surrounded Ezaki Kitazawa and the others.

"Damn!" Aizawa Shouta said, his face stiffening.

"Which of you students is named Ezaki Kitazawa?" A man with a human body but a giraffe head asked the group.

"Ezaki Kitazawa? Isn't he with our second team to kill? Aren't you from the first team?" another person asked.

"I don't care if you're from the first or second team. Shigaraki Tomura said that whoever kills Ezaki Kitazawa will get whatever they want," the giraffe-headed man retorted.

Jiro Kyoka and the others turned their gaze toward Ezaki Kitazawa, curious about why they were targeting him specifically.

"Heh..." 

Ezaki Kitazawa sneered, "Looks like my head is worth something after all!"
