[Chapter Thirty-Two]

Katsuki was fast asleep in his bed, laying on his stomach with his arms slid under his pillow. He'd been sluggish since the incident with Kimina, and I noticed that each time I saw him, the bags under his eyes had gotten darker. So I insisted that he take a nap. He agreed, but only if I stayed in his room with him. He hadn't outright said it like that, but I knew that's what he was hinting around.

I sat at his desk, reading through the book Hawks had given me. I didn't understand why the Meta Liberation Army had suddenly sprung up. Was it because of the League? Or rather, Shigaraki himself? I knew he had to be involved in some way or form. I wasn't an idiot.

I placed the book down at looked at my phone. I picked it up, opening my message to ask Izuku if he knew of a way to contact Hawks. After I sent the message, I returned my phone to the desk. I then opened my laptop and began to scroll through some files I uncovered from Re-Destro's computer. When I found a file that caught my attention, I clicked on it. Surprisingly, it wasn't locked.

The only thing in the file was a name. Garaki Kyudai. Quirkless.

This is what caught my attention. So I began my research. Dr. Garaki Kyudai was the founder of Jaku General Hospital and the current chairman of the board. He is known for promoting community-based medicine rooted in quirks and after founding the hospital, he devoted his time and energy to charitable works. He set up orphanages and nursing homes across the nation, all of which were in partnership with Jaku General Hospital.

As I began to read more about his charity work, I.V.A.N made himself known. "Negate. I've found a classified file in the police database concerning Dr. Garaki."

"You know the drill. Make it unclassified," I mumbled. "Set up a firewall and break through it."

I sat back, resting my elbow on the arm of the chair. I knew that there was a reason he was listed on that file. He painted a perfect picture of a kind, selfless man. But underneath that, something else lay. Whatever it may be, I would find out in just a few minutes.

"The file is now accessible."

"Give me a summary."

"Kurogiri from the League of Villains was captured. After some testing, it was determined that his body had originated from Shirakumo Oboro. He was a student at UA but died during a hero study in his second year. Apparently, his body had been switched out before he was cremated, and his corpse was used to create a nomu. During an interrogation with Eraserhead and Present Mic, his former classmates, he revealed a singular clue."

"A clue? To what exactly?" I frowned.

"I can play the clip of the interrogation if you'd like."
