Everything felt like a blur to her. Her head was aching - no, pounding. She could barely make out the voices of the villains.

"Thirteen and Eraser Head, huh?" Said the Smoky headed villain. "The teacher's schedule we received the other day said that All Might was supposed to be here."

"The trespassing the other day was the work of these scumbags after all, huh?" Aizawa muttered.

"Where is he?" The blue headed villain scratched at his throat in annoyance. "I went through the trouble of bringing this whole crowd, too... All Might... The Symbol of Peace... And he's not here? I wonder if he'll come out if we kill some kids?"

"Villains? No way..." Kirishima trailed off as Aizawa unravelled his capturing weapon from around his neck. "There's no way villains could have gotten into a hero school!"

"Sensei, what about the trespasser sensors?" Momo asked, concerned as she looked to her teachers for answers.

"We have them, of course," Thirteen replied. "But..."

They were turned off.

"Did they only appear here, or around the school?" Shoto said. "Either way, if the sensors are not responding, that means they have someone with a quirk that can do that. An isolated area separated from the main campus during a time when a class is supposed to be here. They might be fools, but they're not dumb. This surprise attack was planned with some sort of goal in mind."

"Thirteen, start the evacuation," Aizawa said as he stepped forward, "Try calling the school. These villains even had someone to counteract the sensors. It's possible someone with radio-wave type powers is interfering. Kaminari, you try contacting the school with your quirk, too."

"Yes, sir," Denki replied.

"Aori, for heaven's sake, snap out of it."

Everyone looked at the purplehead. Her eyes were glazed over as she let out staggered breaths. Her whole body visually panicking. On her mention, the girl looked at her teacher.

She gulped. "I'm sorry, sensei."

She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked back to see the dual haired boy. He was staring at the trio of villains. He didn't speak but she knew what he meant.

"What about you, sensei?" Izuku asked. "Will you fight by yourself? With that many... Even if you can erase their quirks, Eraserhead's fighting style is capturing after erasing the enemy's quirk A frontal battle is..."

"You can't be a hero with just one trick," Aizawa replied. "I'm leaving it to you, Thirteen." He jumped down into the main plaza and attacked the first villains as soon as they were within his reach.

Kasumi watched as her teacher kept swiping up villains left and right, capturing them with his scarf and hitting them together to make them unconscious. She finally came to her senses as she took a step forward.

"It's impossible for him alone." Kasumi whispered. Thirteen looked towards her right as the girl started walking towards the stairs.

"No! Aori, you can't!"

Kasumi picked up her pace, ignoring the screams of her classmates and Thirteen. She activated her shadown quirk, a smokey shadow engulfing her body like an armor - a katana appearing at her hand. The class of 1-A watched as a bright violet flame engulfed the katana - they watched their classmate and teacher work together, helping each other.

Kasumi swiped her katana at one of the villains on Eraserhead's back.

"Aori! You shouldn't be here."
