The last statement caused a realization to dawn on Midoriya. He thought for a moment to process those words.

"So you're practically admitting that you're part of this!?" Mineta exclaimed and began to hide behind Asui.

"Hey, let's all calm down. I don't think Bakugou would do something like this." Kirishima said.

"Although I admit that Bakugou has a crap personality, I don't think he would go lower such as causing mass genocide." Kaminari added, ignoring the "Hey!" coming from Bakugou.

"Hold on." Midoriya raised his hand, silencing everyone. "There are some things I noticed about Kacchan..."

Everyone became quiet and turned their attention towards him.

"Earlier, when we were in the bus, he tried to stop us from going out...He was so insistent about it. I also remembered that he was trying to say something to Aizawa-sensei, but he couldn't. He looked strained…it’s as if someone was trying to silence him. It's likely possible some villain had a silencing quirk that prevents someone to speak of their plans, or was it mind control—no, Kacchan looks like himself so that's impossible. So the only likely case is a silencing quir—" 

Bakugou rolled his eyes. That muttering still gets on his nerves. He snapped, "Shut up, shitty Deku! Quit that mumbling!!!"

"Ah, s-sorry!!" Midoriya apologized.

Bakugou clicked his tongue and looked at the other way. "You're right. Someone is trying to keep my mouth shut! Even if I force myself to resist it, my larynx would be destroyed before I could even say a damn thing! I already tried warning the hobo, but nothing!"

"Hobo? You mean Aizawa-sensei?" Mina wondered. Then realization dawned into her and gasped. "Does that mean you already knew this ever since yesterday!?"

"Damn right. The press was used as an excuse for the villains to gain information." Bakugou said, telling them a bit of the truth. "I saw some suspicious people inside. I attacked them of course, but they fucking escaped. The next thing I knew, my throat always burned from the moment I tried to warn someone. I even tried writing it or using sign language, but no luck." he began to lie a bit at this part. He needed to convince these idiots, or else they would keep accusing him and waste more time. If they all stay here any longer, the villains will catch up to them.

"It seems now, I can already share the information, because it already fucking happened. So there's no point telling you now because it's already too damn late! Shit!" Bakugou growled, this part is true. He can only say something once the event had already happened or something that someone already knows.

Fortunately, everyone believed him.

Iida looked at Bakugou and considered what Midoriya was saying. "Midoriya's right. Bakugou indeed tried to stop us earlier. I also noticed that he was trying to say something to Aizawa-sensei. He did seem like something was stopping him." he said, then he looked at spiky haired blonde. "Now, upon hearing his explanation, I am beginning to understand his strange behavior...Is this the reason why you exploded the door?"

"Well, fuckin' duh! Obviously we need to contact other pros!!! There's no damn way Thirteen and Eraserhead can handle those little shits alone!" Bakugou pointed out as if he was stating the obvious.

"Then we should help them then!" Uraraka said.

"Yeah! I'll do the punching!" Kirishima cracks his knuckles ready for a fight.

"It's better to take down the warp gate bastard. He's important to the villains." Bakugou said, keeping it vague.

Todoroki stepped forward and eyed Bakugou critically. "And how did you know that?"
