It took Izuku quite a while to take Ochako home. He did it on purpose because he didn't know when else he could do it. Considering what was about to happen, he probably didn't have any free time.

After what felt like a short journey, they finally arrived at the entrance of UA High School. Izuku carefully lowered Ochako from Kaisel's body, making sure she didn't fall.

" Th-thank you "

Ochako's face turned red when she saw Izuku's smile. She still held Izuku's hand even though she looked away in embarrassment.

" I have to go... "

" Ah! Yes, you have to go "

" Well then, see you "

" see you... "

After saying goodbye, Izuku returned to his office to finish some of the remaining work. He passed by some employees and greeted them with a smile, even though they looked at him with strange looks. The same thing also went for Kanae who was reporting the results of the dungeon raid she had completed.

" guild master, did something happen? "

" Nothing much just got a slap that made me realize "

Kanae who heard those words immediately looked at Izuku with a look that asked if he was a masochist and it was immediately dismissed by Izuku.

" I know what you're thinking, but it's not like that "

" then what's with that expression? "

" if you want to know just gather at the gym before 6, you'll know when you get there "

Kanae once again looked at Izuku suspiciously. Remembering his actions and attitudes lately made Kanae wonder if Izuku was finally annoyed by the less-than-satisfactory performance of his employees and was preparing to carry out mass layoffs or something.

" Are you finally taking it all out on us? "

" It's nothing like that, just do what I asked and you'll find out later "

" Okay "

Following Izuku's request, the guild members had gathered in the gym arena just before 6 o'clock. The people who had gathered looked confused about why they were all gathered here. Some had their own assumptions and most of them had negative assumptions.

Izuku observed the people who had gathered for a moment, he realized that some of them looked upset because they were told to gather right after work. He ignored this and walked up to the podium that had been prepared beforehand.

Seeing Izuku walk in, attention was immediately focused on him, some looked like they didn't like it, while the rest just stared at him calmly.

" thank you for being willing to gather here, I'll get straight to the point. there's something I have to tell you all... "

There was a moment of silence before Izuku continued his sentence. The silence made the atmosphere tense. They wondered what was so important that they had to gather them all here.

" First of all I want to apologize for what I've done until now "

Hearing Izuku's apology, the people gathered immediately looked at Izuku in confusion, one even expressed his thoughts without him realizing it.

" Guild Master, are you going to die- "

Someone quickly silenced him but what had come out could not be taken back, especially since everyone had heard it. People thought that the person was finished by saying that out loud in front of the cruel guildmaster. But contrary to their thoughts, Izuku just sighed before continuing what he wanted to say.
