Everyone slowly walks outside, and waits for Aizawa to come out. Aizawa steps out and deactivates his quirk, then puts on some eye drops for his eyes.

"Ever since that incident at the U.S.J., it hurts immensely to use my quirk. So why the hell, did you all think it was a good idea to make me use it again?" Aizawa says, extremely angry.

"W-we're sorry Aizawa.." Ashido says.

"Explain to me what happened. Now." Aizawa says.

Everyone starts talking all at the same time, an incomprehensible chatter commencing. Aizawa shakes his head, and yells, "Enough!"

The group quiets down.

"Tokyoami, tell me what it is that happened." Aizawa says.

"Well, the 7 of them got back from wherever it is they were in time, and we were regrouping and meeting with everyone again. However, shortly after they entered, so did Kirishima, and he appeared to be badly bruised and injured, as though he had been in a fight. Ashido asked who did this to him, and he pointed to Todoroki, who appeared surprised. Earlier, Todoroki and Kirishima went on a walk, then Todoroki returned by himself shortly after. He said that Kirishima wanted to be alone. That's what I'm understanding." Tokoyami responds.

"Alright, Todoroki, anything you want to add?" Aizawa says.

"I..I left Kirishima after he told me that he wanted to be alone. I came right back here." Todoroki responds.

"Kirishima, how about you?" Aizawa asks.

"Yeah, at first I thought you left, and then about a minute later, I was punched in the face and kicked in the side by you!" Kirishima responds.

"That was not me!" Todoroki says.

The gears turn in Aizawa's head. He understands now what has happened. He recalls back to Time Travel's cryptic message about wanting to tear the heroes apart. It appears that this was his attempt to do so.

"Alright, enough. Both of you." Aizawa says, calming them down. "Kirishima, the Todoroki that you saw was not him. It was most likely an illusion of some sort by an apprentice of Time Travel. Which by the way, for those who just got back, Time Travel has been locked up since. He's not going to be time travelling anymore, either." Aizawa adds.

"Well, that's a relief." Yaoyorozu says.

"Yeah, but you're not off the hook yet. As you can see behind you, you've nearly destroyed the bottom floor of the building. You will all be tasked with cleaning and repairing this building. Despite the malicious efforts of Time Travel's apprentices, you are still responsible for your actions. If this was purely a battle between Kirishima and Todoroki, which shouldn't have even happened in the first place, no one else should've started fighting as well. " Aizawa says.

The group sighs altogether, unhappy with Aizawa's punishment.

"Don't complain. You all should've known better than to let it get so out of hand. As for the seven of you who just got back, come see me when you're finished. Now, get to it." Aizawa says, as he walks away.

"Wow. We just got back and now we have more work.." Kaminari says.

"Yeah, kind of a bummer." Jirou replies.
