The Guardian of One For All (MHA x Male Reader)

[Chapter Forty-One]: To Take What Was Taken

They lost. The two classes, full of young men and women aspiring to be heroes in the future, had completely lost to the villains. Two of their fellow students had been kidnapped; Katsuki Bakugo and Y/N L/N. Despite their greatest efforts, they had all failed to protect and save their classmates. 

Vlad King, the homeroom teacher of Class 1-B, called emergency services, and fifteen minutes after the villains left, ambulances and fire trucks arrived. Of the forty students, fifteen were unconscious and in serious condition from the villains' gas, and fifteen others had major or minor injuries. Thirteen were uninjured, yet there was still the lingering sense of guilt that wounded them mentally. Two students were missing. 

Of the six pro heroes, one was in serious condition after receiving a hard blow to the head, and one lost a lot of blood and went missing. Meanwhile, on the villain side, five were caught red-handed and arrested. Leaving those five behind, the other villains disappeared without a trace. 

U.A. received a massive number of backlash from the training camp incident. It was inevitable; the vast majority of the students at the training camp had been victims and were hurt in some way, shape, or form. That was excluding the news that not one, but two U.A. students were kidnapped under their watch. By all rights, the controversy behind U.A. was justified, at least in the media's eyes. 

...

"Explain," Overlord demanded simply, slamming his fist on the desk of the principal himself. 

"Are you not well aware of what happened?" Principal Nezu asked curiously, not flinching at the intimidating aura Overlord was radiating.

"You said that Y/N would be heavily protected," Overlord continued, sounding extremely furious. "You said that he would be safe."

"Yes, I did say that," Principal Nezu replied with a frown. "I never anticipated any of this to happen, however."

"You should've," replied Overlord. "How is it possible that two of your students were kidnapped? Two!"

"I admit that we could have expected this to happen," Principal Nezu sighed, picking up his tea cup and taking a short sip before continuing. "Outside forces intervened, though I believe that they could have been linked to the League of Villains."

"Outside forces?" Overlord repeated, a look of bewilderment on his face, though that was unseeable due to the mask he wore. "How do you know?"

"It is a topic I do not wish to discuss with you right now," Principal Nezu answered vaguely. "It should be noted that the pro heroes at the camp did everything in their power to protect the students, and I believe that they prevented a worse outcome."

"I'm not doubting the pros here, I'm doubting the decisions you've made to ensure the safety of your students." Overlord placed a hand on his mask, looking as though he was about to take it off, before placing it on the desk. "These outside forces were the ones to kidnap Y/N, right?"

"Yes, and we may be in luck regarding that." Principal Nezu smiled at him.

"How?"

"I've been informed of multiple witnesses, including one who may have seen a villain in the League of Villains entering their base, and a person who saw 'a fiery dragon-like creature' in the general area." 

"Right...?" Overlord responded in confusion, not knowing what to think of the latter. "So what you're saying is that you have a lead?"

"Indeed, and I'm right to assume you'll be assisting should the inevitable raid happen?" 

"Of course."

...

Tomura Shigaraki turned off the nearby television, so that the scene of a conversation regarding U.A. faded into black. Around him were the other members of the League of Villains, almost all of them having taken part of the incident the previous night. They all looked remarkably positive about the success in their mission, despite Athos' parents never taking part due to orders (there were apparently too many villains).
