"Frosties...!!" Toshinori exclaimed when he saw Todoroki and (Y/n) off in the distance, using their quirks on the Nomu to keep it still.

'Must be Todoroki and (Y/n)!! Such precise control. They just managed not to freeze and cause hypothermia on me...!! Thanks to that... Thanks to that...his grip's loosened!!' The man thought as he leaped away from Nomu's grasp.

"Scum like you...could never kill the Symbol of Peace," Todoroki says.

Toshinori quickly appeared before the group of kids while Bakugo kept Kurogiri pinned to the ground and the Nomu was stuck in the portal.

"You've pinned down our way out... Well... This is a problem..." Shigaraki grumbled.

"You slipped up, you bastard! And it's just like I thought! The parts you can turn into that foggy warp gate are limited! And you're using that misty crap to hide your real body, yeah?! Am I right?! If your whole body was mistaken and physical attacks didn't work... You'd never say, "That was a close one"!!" Bakugo states.

"Nnn..." Kurogiri tried to move just to be stopped by Bakugo.

"Don't move!! If I decided you're doing anything fishy...I'll blow you straight to kingdom come!!" Bakugo threatened.

"That's not very hero-like, dude..." Kirishima piped up.

"Not only have you beaten our level, but you're all at full health... Today's kids really are something... Our League of Villains should be ashamed...! Nomu. Take out that explosive brat. We need our escape route back," Shigaraki ordered.

Todoroki and (Y/n)'s watched as Nomu strained its body to force itself out of the portal which caused the frozen body parts to crumble as it broke.

"His body's falling apart, but... He's still moving...?!"

"Get back, everyone!! What the...?! I thought his quirk was Shock Absorption," Toshinori exclaimed in disbelief.

The body parts that crumbled away started to regrow on the Nomu at an insane speed.

"I don't remember saying that's all he can do. This is Hyper Regeneration. Nomu is a super-powered living sandbag designed to withstand everything you've got," Shigaraki explained as the Nomu darted at Toshinori.

'He's fast!' The hero thought as he leaped out of the way as the Nomu punched in his direction.

However, a strong gust of wind went flying straight at Bakugo who didn't notice it until he was pushed off to the side.

A loud crash was heard as the wind sent the students stumbling and protecting their faces from any dirt that flew up from the ground.

"Kacchan!!" Midoriya hollered before turning his head and noticing the explosive male, "Kacchan?!" He shouted in surprise.

'I... Couldn't see a thing...!' Bakugo thought.

"You dodged that?! Wow...!" Midoriya gasped.

"I didn't. Shut up, you," Bakugo retorted.

(Y/n) narrowed his eyes at Nomu and Shigaraki as he shifted his attention between the two of them.

'A self-made weapon to beat All Might... If we're fighting one here...does that mean that there are more of these out there?' (Y/n) wondered.

A cough escaped Toshinori's lips as more blood escaped and dripped down his lips.

"This guy doesn't know how to hold back..." Toshinori muttered.

'He took the hit for the kid.' Shigaraki realized.

"Anything to save a comrade, right? Just like earlier when, uh... That one... The plain one. He came at me with everything he had. But violence in the name of saying others is admirable? Isn't it, hero?" Shigaraki questioned before bringing his hands out, "You know what, All Might? That pisses me off! Heroes and villains both thrive on violence, but we're still categorized. "You're good." "You're evil." That's how it is!! Symbol of Peace? Hah!! In the end you're just a tool for violence, made to keep us down! And violence only breeds more violence. I'll show the world that by killing you!" He exclaimed.

"What a load of hooey. Idealistic criminals have a different sort of fire in their eyes," Toshinori replied.

"But you're just enjoying yourself, you big liar. You got me. Saw right through me..." Shigaraki sneered.

"It's three-on-six," Todoroki spoke up.

"But Kacchan showed us the mist man's weak point...!!" Midoriya pointed out.

"There are some brutal dudes, but with us supporting All Might...we can beat 'em back!!" Kirishima declared.

(Y/n) stared indifferently at the scene before him. "With our current power level? We'd lose for sure if All Might wasn't here," he muttered.

"No!! Get out of here," Toshinori ordered loudly.

"Things wouldn't have gone so well if we hadn't just stepped in," Todoroki says as he spoke about himself and (Y/n).

"All Might, you're bleeding... And I think your time's u– Ah..." Midoriya cut himself off when he realized what he was about to say.

"Stop trying to expose his secret," (Y/n) mumbled with a small shake of his head.

"Right you are, Todoroki!! So thanks for that!! But fear not!! Sit back and watch a pro get serious!!" Toshinori replied.

"Nomu. Kurogiri. Take him. I'll handle the kids," Shigaraki ordered.

'It's true. I barely have a minute left...! I'm weakening faster than expected! But I've got no choice here!!' Toshinori mused.

Shigaraki lunged at the five students. "Let's clear the game and go home!" He exclaimed.

'Why? Because...' Toshinori trailed off.

"He's coming. Get ready, guys!!"

'I am...the Symbol of Peace!!' Toshinori mentally declared as he darted at Nomu with a fist pulled back.

A loud slam was heard when Toshinori and Nomu's fists met each other.

Shigaraki leaped backward as he spoke. "He's got Shock Absorption... You already saw it yourself," he points out.

"That's right!" Toshinori replied before sending a barrage of punches straight at Nomu.

"A head-on assault?!" Midoriya gasped.

'Stay back!!'

"It's "absorption," not "negation"!! So he must have a limit, no?! Built to counter me, you say?! Made to withstand everything I've got?! Then I'll just go beyond that!!" Toshinori shouted as blood flew out of his mouth while Nomu grazed a punch by his face.

'He's spitting up blood...! At full power!! He's throwing it all out there! Every hit's the real deal! Over 100 percent of his power!!' Midoriya thought.

"A hero's always ready to smash through trouble!" Toshinori shouted, "Tell me, villain. Do you know the meaning of... Plus...Ultra!!"

The Nomu was sent flying out of USJ with Toshinori's final punch.

"Like straight outta the comics. He just smashed his way past the absorption. The ultimate bruiser... And against that power... The regeneration wasn't able to keep up with that rush of attacks..." Kirishima trailed off.

'So this is the top...'

'The world of the pros!'

"Yep. I'm slowing down. In my heyday, five of those punches would've been enough. But that was over 300 hits just now," Toshinori states as he started making his way to Shigaraki. 'And now... My time's up.' He thought.

"Well, villain. How about we hurry up and finish this?" Toshinori asked.

Shigaraki scratched the side of his neck. "You cheated...!"

'Wait... Is he speaking in video game terms?' (Y/n) realized, mentally deadpanning when he connected the dots on how Shigaraki spoke.
