Chapter 78: Into the Fray

Mailin’s POV

The cold, late winter air sweeps across the streets of Jaku City as we gather near the hospital. There’s a nervous energy in the air, but my mind is focused, my telekinesis humming faintly just beneath the surface, ready to react at a moment’s notice.

I’m standing with Burnin and the other students, awaiting instructions as we prepare to evacuate civilians. Burnin’s flame-like hair flickers in the cold wind as she moves through the ranks of students, her voice steady and commanding.

“This isn’t just any mission,” she says, her sharp eyes scanning the crowd. “You’re here because we trust you to handle this. Evacuate the civilians first—keep them safe. Then we’ll see what happens next.”

I can feel the weight of the responsibility settle on my shoulders, but I welcome it. I’ve trained hard for this. Mirko’s relentless drills, pushing me past my limits—it’s all led to this moment. Everyone feels it. The weight of what’s about to happen.

Burnin claps her hands together, igniting the energy around us. “Let’s go!”

Mailin’s POV - The Evacuation

The evacuation begins smoothly enough. People stream out of buildings, some carrying their children, others their pets, as we guide them to safety. My telekinesis is useful in moments like these—lifting fallen debris, guiding citizens who are panicking, or creating small barriers when needed. I move between the civilians, helping wherever I can, trying to keep my focus sharp.

“Over here! This way!” I shout, directing a small group toward the evacuation zone.

Just as I’m about to assist another group, I feel a familiar presence beside me. I turn to see Burnin giving me an approving nod. “Nice work, Hoshino,” she says, her tone gruff but filled with praise.

“Thanks,” I reply, breathless, but determined. I glance back toward the hospital, my mind flickering to the mission ahead. The pros—Aizawa, Mirko, Endeavor, and the others—are already inside. And I know, soon enough, I’ll be joining them.

Transition - Inside the Hospital

A sudden call comes through the communicator in my ear. “Hoshino,” Aizawa’s voice crackles through the line. “Get to my position. We’re moving in.”

My heart skips a beat. I knew this was coming, but hearing his voice sends a wave of adrenaline through me. I nod, even though he can’t see me. “On my way.”

I give Burnin a quick nod before making my way toward the hospital, weaving through the crowds of civilians. My pulse quickens as I approach the building. I know what’s at stake, and I know I need to stay focused. There’s no room for hesitation now.

Mailin’s POV - Joining Aizawa’s Team

The moment I step inside the hospital, the atmosphere shifts. It’s quieter here, the chaos of the evacuation replaced by a tense stillness. The pros are already gathered, their expressions grim as they prepare for the next phase of the mission.

Aizawa is standing near the entrance, his eyes scanning the room. When they land on me, there’s a flicker of something—relief, maybe—but he quickly masks it with his usual calm demeanor. “Stay close,” he says, his voice low but steady.

I nod, falling into step beside him. There’s no need for words. We’ve done this before—fought side by side—and though this mission feels bigger, more dangerous, I know we’ll face it together.

The group moves deeper into the hospital, the sound of footsteps echoing down the long, sterile hallways. Present Mic and Mirko are up ahead, leading the charge. My telekinesis hums at the ready, my senses heightened as we approach the heart of the operation.

The Confrontation - Dr. Garaki’s Nomu

It happens in an instant.

One moment, we’re closing in on Dr. Garaki, and the next, chaos erupts.

Nomu—dozens of them—tear through the floor, their grotesque forms ripping into the walls as they attack without warning. I react on instinct, flinging my hand out as a wave of telekinetic energy slams into the nearest Nomu, sending it crashing back into the rubble.

Aizawa’s Erasure quirk flares to life beside me, halting another Nomu in its tracks before it can strike. His movements are swift, efficient, and as always, I feel a strange sense of safety being near him—even in the middle of this madness.

“Mailin, behind you!” Aizawa’s voice cuts through the chaos, and I spin just in time to catch sight of a Nomu lunging toward me. My telekinesis flares, throwing up a barrier that absorbs the impact. The Nomu stumbles, and with a quick flick of my wrist, I hurl it into the far wall, the force of the collision shaking the ground beneath us.

I can feel the tension between us, the unspoken connection that runs deeper than the battle. We’re in sync, moving as one. It’s not just about fighting side by side—it’s about protecting each other.

Mailin’s POV - Holding the Line

The battle intensifies as more Nomu pour into the room, their twisted forms relentless in their attack. I can feel the strain in my muscles as I push my telekinesis to its limits, throwing debris, creating barriers, anything to hold them off.

Mirko’s voice cuts through the noise, her battle cry fierce as she tears into the Nomu with her powerful kicks. Present Mic is beside her, his voice booming as he takes down another with a blast of sound.

But even as we fight, I can feel the weight of the situation pressing down on me. This isn’t like the training exercises. This is real. And the stakes are higher than they’ve ever been.

Suddenly, a Nomu breaks through one of my barriers, its grotesque hand reaching for me. Before I can react, Aizawa is there, his capturing weapon lashing out and wrapping around the Nomu’s arm, pulling it away from me.

“Stay focused,” he says, his voice calm but firm.

I nod, my heart pounding in my chest. “I’m with you.”

Mailin’s POV - A Moment of Connection

Even in the middle of the chaos, there’s a moment—just a brief, fleeting moment—where our eyes meet. There’s no time for words, but the connection between us is undeniable. It’s not just about the mission. It’s about us.

And in that moment, I know that no matter what happens, we’ll face it together.

The Fight Continues

The Nomu keep coming, but we don’t back down. My telekinesis flares, pushing me to my limits as I fight alongside Aizawa and the other pros. This is what we’ve trained for. This is what I’ve trained for.

And no matter what happens, I won’t let them down.
