Hero Hunter: Izuku Yagi [opm x mha]

chapter 15: aftermath

The next day at UA

Infront of the gates of UA, media hordes were demanding statements and explanation from UA. 

News reporter 1: "Will you open your gates?"

News reporter 2: "I'm from Yomiuri TV. Is there an official statement from U.A. High?"

News reporter 3: "How do you plan on dealing with the families of the victims?"

While the news reporters and the media were demanding answers, UA was quiet. Quieter than a desert. We now cut towards a meeting room with Nezu and the other UA staff.

Nezu: "To be attacked during a training camp meant to prepare students to fight villains... We should be embarrassed by the irony. We feared the revitalization of villains, but our understanding of it was naïve. They had already started their war-- Their war to destroy hero society." he said in disappointment.

Midnight: "Even if we had understood it, would we have been able to defend against it? With all these persistent developments unfolding one after another... Ever since All Might, most organized crime had been weeded out." 

Present Mic: "So we all got too complacent during peaceful times without realizing it, thinking we had time to prepare." 

All Might: "I am angry from the bottom of my heart at my own cowardice. While they were fighting desperately, I... was relaxing in the tub."

Snipe: Having the sports festival right after the attack... We can't keep taking unyielding positions like that, like we have up until now. To have a student kidnapped is U.A.'s greatest failure. They have stolen the trust people had in us heroes, along with Bakugo." he replied, frustrated.

Nezu: "All the news outlets are filled with criticism of U.A. right now. If they were trying to get Bakugo, then it was probably because his violent side was made common knowledge at the sports festival. If he is won over by the villains, then it's over for U.A. as an educational institution." 

Present mic: "Let's hope that's not the case. Right... a few students have reported, saying they saw the hero hunter badly beaten up. Any thoughts?" 

Midnight: "We were lucky that there were 2 S-class heroes along with the pro hero Mirko. If they haven't dealt with him then the outcomes could've been much worse. The question is... why was the hero hunter there in the first place?" 

Nezu just sat there quietly while looking at all might who looked disappointed in himself. 

Snipe: "Whatever reason there might be, we still need to gain the public's trust."

Present mic: "Since we're on the topic of trust, there's something I'd like to say. We can say conclusively now-- There's a traitor among us, isn't there?" as he said that the teachers were surprised.

Present mic: "Only the teachers and the Pussycats knew where the training camp would be held! That's not all that's suspicious! Using their cell phone location information, even the students--"

Midnight: "Mic, stop it." she said, annoyed as she cut him off. 

Present mic: "How can I? Let's clean this place up thoroughly!" he said with anger.

Snipe: "What about you? Can you prove that you're 100% innocent? Can you assert that everyone here is innocent? If we suspect each other, then we'll destroy ourselves from the inside. Looking for a traitor isn't something we should do in a hurry." he reasoned.

Nezu: "At the very least, I trust you all. I can't prove definitively that I'm completely innocent either, though. For now, what we must do as a school is guarantee the safety of the students. With the suspected leak, there's something I've been thinking about doing for a while now. That's--"  Before he could finish...
