My Hero Academia Untold: The Knights of Fafnir (Izuocha)

XIV

Excellent! Looks like I managed to keep my word and got the last chapter of Arc I out on time. Like mentioned before, I will be going on a much needed vacation for a while and therefore will not be an update next Monday July 15th.

That being said, the next update will be a fun one for me, and look forward to see how the split between old and new readers will start up again.

All Might sat in the office of UA's principal, Nezu.

The hybrid animal sat calmly, drinking a fresh cup of hot tea while waiting for their guests to arrive. Nezu had proven invaluable in Draco Knight's case, serving as their chief middleman between all groups involved. The investigation had only made minimal progress due to Neocon's cunning and governmental red tape. The only evidence found thus far was circumstantial at best. However, the scale of this investigation only heightened with the recent discovery of Eri and the call they received from Ingenium requesting to finally join forces.

All Might knew that Endeavor had opened up his own investigation into the Draco Knight matter when he discovered what had happened. However, he had long suspected that this was likely done more out of spite against Doumeki and himself rather than to solve this case out of a sense of justice, perhaps hoping to finally usurp All Might's place in the Number One Hero spot. So, it was surprising that after all these years. Endeavor had made the first move; to finally work together.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK

"Come in," Nezu answered calmly before taking another sip of his tea.

The door slid open and revealed a small number of Pro-Heroes and Naomasa, all of whom entered the room adorned in civilian attire. While not their whole group due to scheduling, the others would be updated in due time.

Endeavor, Gran Torino, Edge-Shot, and Ingenium all took their seats, with Naomasa taking his spot by standing next to All Might.

Nezu placed his cup and saucer down on his desk, focusing on opening his laptop. After a few moments of tinkering, he turned the monitor to face his guests. Sir Nighteye, or Representative Mirai Sasaki, appeared tired but seemed in good spirits on the screen. Nezu leaned forward on his desk with his paws together to begin their meeting.

"Gentlemen," he said, at ease with his eyes closed. "First, I'd like to thank you for coming here to discuss everything we have uncovered thus far. To right an injustice done to one of our own."

All Might started to recap his side of the story to Endeavor's team.

"As you all should know by now, I first confronted Chief Doumeki about why he had decided to pin the operation on Draco Knight. His answer seemed hollow to me, and his reasoning was simply to protect the public about my condition. Despite me being right as rain, as you can see," All Might stood firmly, flexing in his heroic form to those who did not know his secret.
