It is not everyday that he was informed about a missing former student being spotted in the most lawless city in all of Japan. Aizawa sat down in front of his class, who were spreaded out on the multiple sofas in the detective agency’s lounge. Class B were advised to sit in for this one as well in order for them to understand the direness of the situation.

His problematic children just couldn’t stay out of trouble and ran into Bakugou. According to them, the blond teen was physically alright. No missing limbs or obvious injuries but he was in a dress, all dolled up like an expensive figurine for display. Bakugou hadn’t shown signs of distress but he wasn’t himself either. His usual loud and hot tempered nature was replaced by something quieter and cold.

The problem was that his “boyfriend” murdered a bunch of people as if that was as normal as drinking water.

“In conclusion, your students did the one thing that they were instructed to not do and got themselves kicked out of Suribachi.” Kunikida adjusted his glasses in a calm fashion.

“THAT’S your conclusion?” Vlad King slammed his hand down on the table. “You’re telling me a homicidal teenage maniac runs the show in Suribachi and that is the safest place in Yokohama? You even sent our students there knowing that he wouldn’t give a dime about killing them if they broke his rules? He’s not the law!”

“On the contrary, he is the law. While we don’t approve of some of his...methods, he does seem to stick to the laws of Japan to a certain degree. Always paid taxes and it is because of him Suribachi has a lower crime rate than the rest of Yokohama. Huang Zeku runs a clean business and Huang Corp has multiple charity funds set up. But this is Yokohama so certain norms are different. Sometimes it’s either we kill the enemy first or they come back and kill us. Mercy has to be executed with caution around here.” Dr. Yosano shook her head in a solemn manner. “Still, normally he wouldn’t react so viciously, something set him off and he’s making an example.”

Making an example.

Aizawa had to take a deep breath and remind himself that of course he didn’t get the criminal’s logic. They rule with fear, not with morals or heartfelt encouragement. Not according to the book of justice, where the punishment should fit the crime either. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. They went overboard with the displays of brute power. While sometimes Aizawa would admit it was tempting, his position as a hero wouldn’t allow him to stoop to that level.

Otherwise, there would be no distinction between a hero and a villain.

“...The robbers who died tried to hurt Bakugou Katsuki, didn't they? It sounds like Zeku was protecting his companion.” Atsushi passed a few towels to the kids who were covered in the most blood. Thankfully while they looked bad, none of them were seriously hurt. To be honest, if anyone in the agency was about to get hurt, he would attack too...just not to the point of killing those men. That was certainly overboard.

“I always knew he had something to hide. Didn’t expect it to be a princess though. This is too good,” Dazai laughed as he plopped down on the sofa next to Midoriya. He seemed to be the only one smiling amongst everyone who gathered here. The teen next to him tensed awkwardly.

Aizawa’s eyes twitched in annoyance at the sight. He could feel the veins along his forehead throbbing already. Getting on people’s nerves seemed to be Dazai’s specialty and the suicidal maniac was gloating in all his glory.

“Dazai,” Oda warned and the man on the sofa waved, signalling he heard him. Sighing, Oda turned to face the two UA teachers. “It looks like Bakugou had no intention of hurting his former classmates but I would strongly suggest against them entering Suribachi City again while they are in Yokohama.”
