(Nobody p.o.v)
[Earlier]"A student who went shopping hasn't returned?" Ectoplasm said through his earpiece to hound dog ," understood. I'll look into it."
"Hey, you hungry, ectoplasm? Come to our stall!" A student shouted from her stall
"I'd like some, yes..."
"This is... grrrr dog, in sector c-16! We need four or five of your clones to head to E-4, grrrr." Hound dog said though his earpiece
"Is there an emergency?"
"I'll let you know... smells like... three individuals... they're off the walking path... and aren't moving around much, staying in one spot. I smell a lot of sweat, so they must be agitated. Lost kids? Injured? Or just idiots?" Hound dog replied
"We're on high alert, everyone... in the event we confirm a hostile party be prepared to cancel the festival and evacuate all students!"
(Present)
"U.a... I surrender. " Gentle said as he holded la brava in his arms as she was sobbing
"Surrender?" Hound dog questioned
"I recognize him." One if ectoplasm clones said "he's a villain who specialises in quick escapes. He's also known for uploading mischievous videos."
Hound dog then grabbed gentle by the top of his coat dragging him towards him , "who're you working with?"
"Gentle!" La brava said
"No one." Gentle answered
"What's with the wounds, huh? And the torn-up field?"
"As I said, i tripped and fell...!"
"Just you two, then?"
"Correct"
"Correct!? Where's the third? It smells like one of our students!" Hound dog growled
Meanwhile with izuku
He landed on a path with help from his quirk
Izuku recalled gentles words 'Now vanish, Izuku midoriya. All for her. For her bright future'
In that moment, he couldn't explain it himself but... he somehow understood what gentle criminal was doing
So he ran back into the forest with no question about it
(Back with gentle)
"He should be... just... over there..." Gentle told hound dog
'I put a tasteful spin on my selfish actions. Yet, all along... I was doing, it for me.' Gentle thought as he said "I an utterly stripped of the will to fight back."
'So I'm overjoyed that this was for you, in the end. I fought with my feelings on the line... until all that was left in me, deep down... was a heart that beat for someone else!'
