Two days after the USJ incident...

"We are still receiving updates from the recent USJ incident where hero course students were attacked by villains. According to police officials, the villains called themselves the League of Villains. Investigators have reportedly uncovered that this group was plotting to kill UA teacher and popular hero, All Might, since the spring of this year.

Police arrested seventy-two villains on the scene, but the league's leader escaped. His whereabouts are unknown. From school reports, student casualties were at a bare minimum with only a couple of exceptions. In private interviews, the parents stated that their injured children are now fully recovered."

Nezu turned off the tv, turning to look at the figures of All Might, Snipes, Midnight, Vlad King, and Tsukauchi, "Well, the media has cooperated and kept identities a secret in exchange for some insight on the matter," he looked at Tsukauchi, "Now we need some more detailed insight of our own."

"Our investigators are trying to learn everything they can about the so-called League of Villains," Tsukauchi stated, "We've made some progress, but we can't find anything on this Shigaraki or Tenko as he seems to be called so far. We've searched our records for men in their twenties or thirties registered as having some sort of disintegration Quirk, but so far we've come up empty. Same for the warp gate villain, Kurogiri. So, they're not citizens or they're using aliases. Hard to find wither way."

"So, what you're really saying is we don't know anything," Vlad Kind, glowered at the table.

"We've got to track them down," Snipe asserted, "I shot their ringleader and Uzumaki gave him multiple injuries, but once he heals up, he'll probably try pulling something like this again," he sighed, "What a pain."

All Might looked thoughtful, "He did seem like the type..."

Nezu looked up at the hero, "Is something on your mind, All Might?"

The Symbol of Peace frowned as he contemplated. "The attack on the USJ was too bold. No sane adult would ever attempt it. The ringleader kept monologuing about the reasons he was there and bragged about Nomu's many Quirks. He never said anything about his own powers and when things didn't go his way he nearly threw a tantrum," he groaned in frustration, "His bragging about Nomu's powers may have been a quick way to draw me into a fight but he completely ignored the fact that others with Quirks much different than mine were present. Young Haruko took advantage of that and even held his own for a few moments when his seal went out of control."

"Yes, it was a foolish strategy," Nezu agreed, "Things would have ended differently had he kept Nomu's Quirks a secret."

Tsukauchi nodded in agreement.

"Shigaraki made wild claims," All Might continued, "But he said them with a completely straight face, and he talked about Nomu as if he were some kind of pet. He seemed like he had never been told 'no' before and he thought things would go his way no matter what."

"He had a rude awakening," Snipes commented, "Compared to our students, he's simply a man child."

"A child with incredible power though," Vlad King growled, "We were lucky we didn't lose any students as a result of his rampage."

"It's possible he never got the Quirk counseling student to receive in elementary school," Midnight pointed out, "But considering the circumstances, it doesn't really matter now."

Tsukauchi pulled out a document, handing it to Nezu, "There were seventy-two villains arrested. They were all small-time thugs who usually lurk in small dark alleys," his face looked grave, "What worries me is how this 'man-child' got them all to follow his crazy plan and view him as a leader.
