The sun had barely risen when the quiet buzz of activity began at UA High School. The school was waking up to the usual morning routine, but the atmosphere was tense and somber. The students of Class 1-A had spent a restless night, their worry for Anderson weighing heavily on them. Little did they know, the situation was about to escalate further as the UA faculty discovered Anderson's departure.

In the faculty lounge, Principal Nezu, Eraser Head (Aizawa), and Midnight gathered for their regular morning briefing. Nezu, ever the observant principal, noticed that Aizawa seemed unusually distracted, his usual calm demeanor replaced by a furrowed brow.

“Good morning, everyone,” Nezu began cheerfully. “Let’s start with the daily updates. Anything we need to address?”

Aizawa rubbed his eyes wearily. “I’ve been hearing a lot of chatter from the students this morning. They seem unusually distressed.”

Midnight, leaning against the table, nodded. “I’ve noticed the same. There’s something going on, and it feels like it’s more than just the usual pre-training jitters.”

Nezu's sharp eyes narrowed. “Perhaps we should investigate. It’s not typical for our students to be so unsettled without a reason.”

Before they could delve deeper, a frantic knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Izuku Midoriya burst into the room, his face flushed with a mix of urgency and distress. “Principal Nezu, Aizawa-sensei, Midnight—Anderson is gone!”

The faculty members exchanged concerned glances. “What do you mean, gone?” Nezu asked, his voice steady but anxious.

Izuku, struggling to keep his composure, clutched the note that Anderson had left behind. “He left us a note. He’s disappeared. He said he had to leave to protect us from danger.”

Aizawa took the note from Izuku’s trembling hands and read it silently. His eyes widened as he absorbed the gravity of the situation. “This isn’t just about missing training. Anderson has put himself in serious danger to protect us.”

Midnight’s eyes grew wide with worry. “This is serious. We need to act quickly. If All For One is involved, Anderson could be in immediate danger.”

Nezu nodded, his expression shifting to one of determined resolve. “We need to mobilize. First, we must ensure the safety of the students and find Anderson before it’s too late.”

Aizawa addressed Izuku, his voice firm yet sympathetic. “You and the rest of Class 1-A should be involved in the search. But remember, it’s crucial to remain calm and focused. We need to strategize effectively.”

Izuku nodded, trying to steady his breathing. “We’ve already started searching, but he’s left no trace. What if All For One is already after him?”

Nezu turned to the faculty, issuing commands with clarity. “Aizawa, Midnight, coordinate with the hero teams to widen the search area. We’ll use every resource at our disposal. And Izuku, I need you to stay in contact with us. If you have any leads or information, relay it immediately.”

As the faculty members sprang into action, Izuku returned to his classmates, who were gathered in the common area, still reeling from Anderson’s sudden departure. “We need to stay united and focused,” Izuku said, addressing his worried friends. “The faculty is mobilizing, and we need to keep searching while they coordinate the efforts.”

Kaminari, his usual cheerful demeanor replaced by concern, spoke up. “What if we can’t find him? What if something has already happened to him?”

Jiro placed a reassuring hand on Kaminari’s shoulder. “We can’t think like that. Anderson left to protect us, and we need to honor that by doing everything we can to find him.”

Momo nodded in agreement. “Let’s organize ourselves. We should form search teams and cover as much ground as possible. We need to stay focused and not let our worry cloud our judgment.”

The students of Class 1-A quickly fell into action, each group taking different routes in search of their missing friend. They combed through their favorite hangouts, checked with nearby businesses, and even asked the public for any sightings.

Meanwhile, the faculty members coordinated with other heroes, leveraging their networks to search for any signs of Anderson. They tapped into surveillance footage, analyzed patterns of activity around the city, and used every available resource to locate him.

Back in the faculty lounge, Nezu and Aizawa monitored the situation closely, their concern evident in their expressions. “We must find Anderson quickly,” Nezu said, his voice reflecting the weight of responsibility. “The sooner we locate him, the better his chances of staying safe.”

Aizawa nodded, his gaze focused on the array of monitors displaying various locations. “We’ll do everything in our power to bring him back. Anderson made a sacrifice for his friends, and we owe it to him to ensure his safety.”

As the day progressed, the search continued with relentless determination. Each passing hour brought a mix of hope and anxiety. The faculty and students knew that finding Anderson was not just about rescuing him but also about understanding the threat he faced and ensuring that such a situation would never endanger their school again.

The search efforts were a testament to the bonds of friendship and the commitment to their duty as heroes. While Anderson was out there, fighting to protect his friends, the entire UA community rallied together, driven by a shared goal of bringing their friend back and ensuring that no one had to face such danger alone
