My Hero Academia: Seek and Destroy [Reader Insert]

23. The Symbol Of Peace

"So, you'll help us then?" Officer Tsukauchi asked in relief.

"Of course I'll help," Endeavor sneered. "U.A needs someone competent to clean up their messes and I have no doubt I'm the only one capable of such an action."

"Regardless of how you view it we really appreciate your help," The officer said. "We will contact you tonight with directions. Thank you."

Endeavor huffed as he finished the phone call.

Burnin' perked up from her place on the couch, across from Endeavors desk. "Did they find the kid?"

"There is a flagged location for the villain's base," Endeavor explained. "It's believed that Rosoku and the other students are located there."

"I really hope he's ok," Burnin' admitted. "He's a sweet kid with a good heart. I hate to imagine what the villains could be doing to him."

Endeavor nodded, "Those scum will get what's coming for them." He clenched his fists.

You were the only one besides Shoto who even had a chance of surpassing him....of surpassing All-Might.....

He needed to save you, not just for himself but for the future of hero society.

Already rumors about U.A questioning the quality of the institution were starting to waver. Endeavor knew the longer that the students remained in enemy clutches, the more faith in hero society would waver.

Endeavor was no fool, he knew that when Stain had been active, he inspired many civilians and criminals alike to take a stand against heroes. Childish claims of 'true heroism' and 'pretend heroes' had turned a good portion of society against their protectors. Despite the hero Commission attempting to keep Stains ideology under wraps, his influence had spread rapidly and stirred up trouble. It had quieted down after he was contained, but now that U.A was in the spotlight, accusations and mistrust were circulating and negativity was stronger than ever.

He and the rest of the heroes on operation were on a time limit. It was either succeeding in saving you or it was the fall of hero society.

Aizawa was tired. Well, Aizawa was always tired, but these recent events were especially exhausting.

Right after giving his statement, he and Vlad were whisked off to the city hall for the media to scrutinize and bash them.

His eye twitched as a camera flashed. He really hated the media.

"Keep your cool, Shota," Vlad muttered.

He knew that Aizawa was at his limit of tolerance between losing his students and being labeled as a bad teacher. It would be a miracle if he didn't end up committing unspeakable horrors upon the news reporters by the end of the day.

Seated on a stadium alongside Principal Nezu, Aizawa was forced to put on a show to satisfy the gossiping masses.

He couldn't believe he had shaved for this....

"During the incident, it appears you urged them to fight, what was your intention behind this?" A male interviewer asked.

Aizawa recognized him as the interviewer for one of the largest papers in the region. No doubt trying to stir up controversy with the way he asked the question.

"I concluded that because we were unable to fully grasp the situation, it had to be done in order to avoid the worst possible outcome." Aizawa explained.

The interviewer frowned "What do you mean by worst possible outcome? You don't call 26 victims, 2 abducted children and 1 missing hero the worst possible outcome?"
