FORTITUDE

Relax..🌸

The heroes denied firmly.

As Giyuu suggested to go find someone of portal quirk, he was shut down.

By the top heroes themselves.

Endeavor then further explained that they will do the neccessary measures to find the person and will ask help from the World Hero Organization if needed.

In other words, leave for the hero to do the work.

While they, the demon slayers must relax first. To which everyone agrees.

The Quirk Festival is in a few days and the students are anticipating it, looking forward to it. This time, UA will be the one hosting and all the more reason they can't cancel it.

It may seem a shallow reason but not for the pro heroes. Especially the teachers.

When Giyuu had explained that they have been hunting for demons every night since their arrival, not to mention guarding the portal as well, they insisted they needed to take a break.

All this time, they have been protecting the people against much more stronger villains, along with the nameless hero whom they suspected as their comrade too, and Ayane proudly announcing it's her mist hashira brother without anyones knowledge.

No wonder, the 2 new teachers always seemed tired.

So now it all made sense when Aizawa had scolded Misty a few times when he caught her sneaking at night, not just once, twice, thrice?

All because of her duties they all ought to fulfill.

Ayane wasn't excused. Knowing Giyuu consented her in going out past curfew, she got an earful from the principal himself. But all for the good reasons.

The hashira's tried reasoning explaining how demons work, the rank of demons, how they were made, and that their quirks doesn't work on them.

Oh, they knew that.

Surprisingly, Endeavor and Hawks encountered a demon and it got away without a scratch. The heroes thought it was a new version of nomu.

Thus the bigger question. How are they going to face these overwhelming creatures then?

And that is when Shinobu gave herself away. Admitting that she had actually formulated pills that can activate their quirks that can kill demons. However..

"Are you ready to kill? These are no ordinary quirked villains, they eat humans flesh and bones. They can only be stopped by disintegrating them," Giyuu confronts once they have the pills infront of them. The pills Shinobu made with wisteria flowers growing at a certain mountain where the sun shines the most.

Silence...

Tension once again conquered them.

"This is why, I do not want you to stain your hands with their blood. This is different-"

"Oi," Hawks cut Giyuu off.

"Don't get ahead of your self there, pal. Don't pity us heroes lightly. I killed a few villains myself because I needed to. I have to. Or else I would never forgive myself if they wash their hands more of innocent human's blood," he explained himself although his tone was bitter. He never want to kill in the first place. But he has to or there will be more bloody consequenses.

Edgeshot shot his eyes open after winning his internal battle. They have to do this.

"I am a hero," he said. "And it is my duty to protect civilians against villains. These demons are no different and present the most threat. So I will do my duty and stain my hands if it meant keeping my people safe," he chides in pure determination surprising everyone.
