Flashback: Two weeks before...

Haru entered the office where Best Jeanist had summoned him.

"You wished to speak to me, sir?"

The hero motioned at the couch opposite from where he was sitting, "Sit down."

Haru did as he was told, "Is this about the USJ?"

Best Jeanist tapped a finger against his forehead, "I wanted to ask you about the seal first. Show it to me."

Haru sat down and pulled back his hair. The dark symbol appeared and his mentor studied it carefully.

"Interesting," Best Jeanist murmured, "It's starting to visibly unravel."

Haru frowned, "Yes. I noticed when I checked it this morning. My guess is that my new healing ability caused my usual chakra flow to be disrupted. Since I have no information on the technique, that must mean it was never expected to come into the equation at this time or even at all. Either way, it looks like the deterioration of the seal has been accelerated. My chakra reserves were suppressed to avoid this but using such a high-level Jutsu must have forced my reserves open," he flexed his finger experimentally, "I have to retrain my body to adapt since there is much more power to control.

Best Jeanist nodded, absentmindedly messing with his slicked hair, "I see. Any new information?"

Haru thought hard for a moment and the number four hero waited.

The teen furrowed his eyes, "It was something about a scroll."

Best Jeanist leaned forward, "A scroll?"

Haru nodded, "I remember that the scroll with my birth information was found with my mother before she died. There was meant to be a second one."

Best Jeanist leaned back again, "I know which one you're talking about."

Haru stiffened, "You do?"

"Your adoptive-" Haru's eyes narrowed not liking the way that was said, causing the hero to correct himself, "Your parents gave me the second scroll in secret for safekeeping. It was one of the things I decided to keep from the higher-ups. I suppose we can discuss that another time, but first, what happened at the USJ?"

Haru told his mentor everything that had happened from meeting across Tenko (otherwise named Shigaraki) the night before, the villain's infiltration, his battles with Kurogiri, Shigaraki, and Nomu, and all the information he had gleaned about them.

"Why did you try to kill Shigaraki?"

Haru pressed his fist to his eyes as the memories flashed through his mind.

"He... he ordered Nomu to kill Katsuki," he let out a trembling breath, "I wasn't fast enough to save him. Even though All Might got there in time, I was so angry. At that moment I hated everything. I hated Tenko. I wanted to kill him... no... I wanted to erase his existence. I was just so full of rage. It felt wrong, but I wanted to do it!"

He felt a hand on his shoulder and clutched it desperately.

"Love is something we all feel, Haru," Best Jeanist 's voice was soft, "It gives us our greatest strengths, but also our greatest weaknesses. It's good that even though you were trying to kill them, you were fighting the internal battle. Treat this event as a reminder that you are not infallible."
