Wings of Awakening

Part 24

As Iida escaped U.S.J., his heart raced, his mind replaying the image of his classmates and teachers left behind, facing the villains. Reaching U.A. as fast as he could, he stumbled into the main building and was swiftly directed to Principal Nezu's office.

At that moment, Principal Nezu was having tea with none other than All Might—though in his skeletal form as Toshinori Yagi. However, Iida, unaware of All Might's other form, had no idea of the hero's presence in the room. After catching his breath, Iida quickly recounted the attack, explaining how the villains had invaded, overwhelmed Mr. Aizawa and Thirteen, and separated the students into various danger zones. Principal Nezu immediately understood the severity of the situation and called an emergency to alert the other teachers, ensuring they would follow behind him. Meanwhile, All Might—disguised as Toshinori—slipped away to transform and raced off to the U.S.J. as backup.

With his unmatched speed, All Might bounded across the city, leaping from rooftop to rooftop to reach U.S.J. When he finally arrived, he burst through the doors with an earth-shaking impact. Surveying the chaotic scene, he found some students tending to the wounded: Thirteen, seriously injured from protecting the students, and Aizawa, who had faced numerous villains and was barely holding on.

"All Might! You're here!" Asui exclaimed in relief, seeing the towering hero enter.

"What happened to them?" he asked urgently, looking from Thirteen to Aizawa.

Asui quickly filled him in, her tone serious. "Villains attacked, and they're after you. Midoriya is fighting the main villains at the central plaza right now!"

Hearing this, All Might didn't hesitate. He immediately pushed forward, knocking aside smaller villains in his path until he reached the heart of the plaza. There, he found Izuku Midoriya standing defiantly against the monstrous Nomu and the villain leader Shigaraki, his green hero suit dusted and his eyes blazing with determination.

All Might arrived just as the Nomu was about to launch another brutal strike. "Young Midoriya!" he called, landing between him and the Nomu. His voice was resolute. "Stand down. I'll take it from here!"

Izuku, despite his exhaustion, nodded, his relief evident. He stepped back to catch his breath, his job now done. With All Might at his side, the odds had shifted—U.A.'s Symbol of Peace was here to protect them all.
