Crazy blonde: "Wow, the hand guy! You're friends with the great Stain, right?"
Purple-haired: "Amazing! He's cute! The hand guy's cute! Cute! Cute!"
Shigaraki points at the three.
Shigaraki: "Kurogiri, get rid of these guys. Everything I hate came together in one set. A brat, a rude guy, and a creep."
Kurogiri: "Now, now. They came all this way to visit, so let's at least hear them out, Tomura Shigaraki. Besides, that big shot broker brought them. They're bound to be valuable assets."
Giran: "I don't care what you do with them, but make sure I get my commission, Kurogiri. At least let me introduce them."
Giran took a step forward, pointing at the school girl.
Giran: "First, this cute highschool girl. Her name and face were kept tightly under wraps by the media, but she's on the run as the suspect in a series of deaths by blood loss."
Toga: "I'm Toga! Himiko Toga! It's hard to live! I want the world to become an easier place to live! I want to become Mr. Stainy! I want to kill Mr. Stainy! So let me join the League of Villains, Tomura!"
Shigaraki: "I don't get her. Is she crazy?"
Giran: "She can hold a conversation for the most part. I'm sure she'll be of use. Next, this-"
The purple-haired girl jumps in front of Giran, grinning
Misaki: "I'm Misaki! Only that for now, hehe! I just want the souls of every cute person I see, and I want everyone's soul!"
Shigaraki: "I don't understand her as well. Is she crazy, too?"
Giran: "She can hold a conversation as well, but will creep everyone out with her questionable dialogues. Her face and name isn't known by the media and is linked to suspected mysterious deaths. Next, this guy over here. He hasn't committed any flashy crimes, but he holds fast to the hero killer's ideology."
Black-haired: "I'm uneasy about this. Does this organization really have a just cause? Don't tell me you're going to let this crazy woman and creepy woman in?"
Toga: "Eh?"
Misaki: "I'm not a creep!"
Shigaraki: "Hey, you. You can't even do what that crazy high school girl and the creep was able to do. Give your name, first. You're an adult, right?"
Dabi: "I currently go by Dabi."
Shigaraki: "That's not what I want to know. What's your real name?"
Dabi: "I'll tell you when it's time. Anyway, I will carry out the will of the hero killer."
Shigaraki: "You don't have to say what you haven't been asked. Jeez, everyone's so hung up about Stain, Stain... I don't like it."
Kurogiri: "You mustn't, Shigaraki...!"
Shigaraki: "I don't feel good. You're all no good!"
Shigaraki charges at the trio with Dabi raising his hand, Toga bringing out her knife, and Misaki reaching her hand towards Shigaraki's head, but Kurogiri uses his warp gate to stop everyone from getting in contact.
Giran: "Please calm down, Tomura Shigaraki."
Kurogiri: "If what you wish is to come to pass, then we must increase the organization's numbers. Strangely enough, we're in the spotlight right now, so now is our chance. We should not be rejecting them, we should be receiving them. You must use all of it... And all the ideology he left behind..."
Shigaraki: "Shut up."
Shigaraki begins walking towards the door.
Giran: "Where are you going?"
Shigaraki: "Shut up!"
Shigaraki left, slamming the door.
Giran: "I don't want to complain about a client, but... he's young. Too young."
Toga: "I thought he was going to kill us."
Dabi: "He makes me sick..."
Kurogiri: "Would it be alright to give you an answer at a later date? I believe he knows what he should do. It's because he knows that he left without saying anything. All Might... Hero Killer... He's been humbled twice already. I'm sure he will reach an answer... that both of you and himself will be satisfied with."
------
The scene opens up to a depressed-looking Sato, Kirishima, Kaminari, and Ashido.
Ashido: (sobbing) "E-Everyone... I'm looking forward... to hearing your stories... about training camp..."
Izuku: "W-We don't know for sure yet! There might be a last minute twist!"
Kuuga: (crosses arms) "Indeed. This is U.A after all."
Sayo: "Yeah! I heard from some of you that they love giving twists!"
Sero: "If you three say it out loud, it'll probably jinx it."
Annya: "I have to agree with Sero here."
Kaminari: "If we failed the exams, then we'd have to skip training camp and be in summer school hell. And since we didn't pass the practical exam... if you guys don't get it, then you're dumber than monkeys!"
Kaminari pokes Izuku's eyes.
Kuuga: "Calm down. At least a monkey is smarter than you."
Sayo: "Yeah-! Wait, that's rude!"
Kuuga: (shrugs) "I'm the definition of rude, get over it."
Sero points at himself
Sero: "I don't know, either. Our team passed thanks to Mineta, but I was just sleeping the whole time. Anyway, since we don't know how they're scoring it..."
Kaminari: "If you feel bad for us, then I dunno, just bring me back lots of stuff!"
The classroom door suddenly opens to reveal Aizawa with the school bell ringing.
Aizawa: "Once the bell rings, get in your seats."
Aizawa glances at his students to see everyone in their respective seats.
Aizawa: "Morning. Unfortunately, there are those who did not pass the final exams."
Kirishima, Ashido, Sato, and Kaminari sweat drops.
Aizawa: "Accordingly, for the training camp in the woods... (smiles creepily) everyone's going!"
Kaminari, Ashido, Sato, Kirishima: (mentally) "A last minute twist!"
Kirishima: "We can go, too?!"
Ashido: (tearing up) "Really?!"
Aizawa: "Yeah. Some failed, but no one failed the written exam. In practical terms, Kirishima, Kaminari, Ashido, Sato, and Sero failed."
Sero: (facepalms) "I knew it... Just because my team passed didn't mean I scored high enough not to fail..."
Aizawa: "For this time's exam, we on the villain side made sure to leave a way for the students to win while watching to see how you all would take on the task at hand. If we hadn't, most of you would've gotten stuck before you started."
Ojiro: "So when you said you were really out to crush us..."
Aizawa: "That was to make you feel concerned. In the first place, the training camp in the woods is one to increase strength. So those who failed need it the most. They have to get stronger. (Smiles) It was a rational falsehood."
Kirishima, Ashido, Sato, Kaminari: (mentally) "A rational falsehood?!"
Iida: "I was tricked again! As expected of U.A. (stand up) However, since you lied to us twice, our faith in you will waver!"
Uraraka: "Wow, you're a wet blanket, Iida."
Aizawa: "That's true. I'll consider that. But I wasn't lying about everything. Failure is failure. We have prepared a separate time for extra lessons for you all."
The five who didn't pass slumps down.
Aizawa: "Frankly, it'll be tougher than the extra lessons you'd get if you stayed at school."
--------
The scene opens in the afternoon with everyone packing up to leave.
Ojiro: (holding a guide) "Well, in any case, I'm glad we can all go together."
Iida: "A week of training camp, huh?"
Izuku: "We'll have to bring a lot with us."
Kaminari: "I don't have a bathing suit or anything. I'll have to buy a bunch of stuff."
Mineta: "Night vision goggles-"
Kuuga: (menacingly) "Night vision what, grape head?"
Mineta shakes in fear, hiding behind Kaminari.
Hagakure: "Oh, then since we're off tomorrow, and we just finished our exams, why doesn't Class 1-A all go shopping together?!"
Kaminari: "Oh, good idea! Wouldn't that be the first time we all hung out together?"
Kirishima: "Oi, Bakugo, you're coming, too!"
Bakugo: "Like I'd do something irritating."
Kirishima: "How about you, Kiriu?"
Kuuga: "I will not-!"
Kaminari: "Oh, come on! Let's go buy some recipes for you to cook there if we have the chance!"
Kuuga: "You really want me to cook that curry?"
Kaminari: "Yeah!"
Kuuga: "Then get on your knees and beg."
Kaminari begins to kneel down, making Kuuga sweat drop.
Kuuga: "I wasn't serious, idiot! Get up! Get up! I'll come with this shopping, just get up!"
Izuku: "Will you come, too, Todoroki?"
Todoroki: "I go visit my mom on our days off."
Mineta: "You guys are such party poopers! Get a clue, you clueless guys!"
Kaminari: "How about you, Aisaka? Are you coming?"
Sayo: "Not really, I have everything I need!"
Ashido: "Annya, do you want to come with us?"
Annya: "No. I also have the things I need already."
-------
The scene opens up to Kaminari, Kuuga, Iida, Mineta, Tokoyami, Uraraka, Ashido, and Izuku, Shoji, Kaminari, Jiro, and Yaoyorozu standing by an escalator in a crowded mall.
Ashido: "And so, here we are! With the most stores in the prefecture, the newest and coolest, most advanced- Kiyashi ward shopping mall!"
Izuku begins muttering, making the surrounding people uncomfortable.
Tokoyami: "You're scaring the children. Stop that."
Kuuga is seen trying to comfort a crying child while glaring at Izuku.
Kuuga: "Somebody stop him."
Civilian 1: "Oh, aren't those U.A students?!"
Civilian 2: "First years?"
Civilian 3: "I saw them on T.V!"
Civilian 1, 2, 3: "Sports festival, yay!"
Uraraka: "Oh, there are still people who remember that..."
Jiro: "Anyway, I need to buy a big carry-on bag."
Yaoyorozu: "Oh my, then why don't we go around together? Kiriu, wanna come with us?"
The two girls looked at Kuuga, who was staring at a short piece of paper in his hand.
Kuuga: (muttering) "I need tons of chicken... onions... carrots... potatoes... mix... oil..."
Yaoyorozu: "Um, Kiriu-"
Kuuga: (scratching head) "I don't trust the quality this place has to offer for food..."
Kuuga then notices Yaoyorozu.
Kuuga: "Yes?"
Yaoyorozu: "Do you want to look around with us?"
Kuuga glances at his list, seeing most of it not being needed.
Kuuga: (mentally) "Do I really need a bathing suit? Might as well just buy another coat or what."
Kuuga looks up and faces Yaoyorozu and Jiro.
Kuuga: "I'll pass. I prefer shopping alone."
Yaoyorozu: "Oh. I see."
Mineta: "Where can I get lock-picking tools and small drills?"
Kuuga: "You're buying what?"
Mineta: "N-Nothing!"
Kaminari: "I don't have any outdoorsy shoes, so I want to go and buy some."
Hagakure: "Oh, me too, me too!"
Iida: (raising boi hand) "The guide said to bring shoes that are already broken in- Oh, but I see, perhaps we should choose based on utility?"
Kirishima: "Everyone has different things they want to do, so why don't we decide on a time to meet back up?"
Ashido: "I agree!"
Kirishima: "Then let's meet back here at 3 o'clock!"
Everyone: "Okay!"
Kuuga skips off from the group into a clothing store and begins to browse on the coats, mostly the white-colored ones, when suddenly he feels a hand on his neck, making him stop browsing. He turns his head to see a man in a black hoodie and sky blue hair under it. He then recalls the U.S.J incident along with some information he got from his mother.
Kuuga: (mentally) "Tomura Shigaraki!"
Kuuga tries to raise his arm but the grip on his neck tightens as he feels one finger not making contact with it.
Shigaraki: "U.A really is amazing... but it's also amazing to encounter someone who is connected with Arcane..."
Kuuga narrows his eyes as he tightens his grip on the coat on the hangers.
Kuuga: "I don't know Arcane in any form."
Shigaraki: "Oh? What about you being in Yokohama and taking part in taking down the Hero Killer with her associates?"
Kuuga felt some sweat drip down his forehead but kept his composure.
Kuuga: "What do you want?"
Shigaraki: "You."
Kuuga: "I'm sorry but I'm straight."
Shigaraki: "I think every person associated with Arcane is important, if I take you, maybe she'll stop going after us. How many more is she willing to sacrifice?"
Shigaraki raises his right arm showing two hero licenses, both male.
Shigaraki: "Because they gain nothing- she gains nothing."
Kuuga: "..."
Kuuga begins to think of a strategy to apprehend the villain by imagining a scenario of him hitting the villains' stomach with his elbow and sweeping his legs on the floor and making an immediate apprehension but he was knocked back to reality when a female shop assistant approached the two.
Assistant: "Can I help the two of you?"
Shigaraki: (whispers) "If you try anything, it won't stop me from killing a few people here before I get caught."
Kuuga clicked his tongue internally before thinking of an idea.
Kuuga: "I need help in choosing a coat and possibly some shorts."
Assistant: "Perfect! I can help you with that! (To Shigaraki) Can I help you as well."
Shigaraki glared at Kuuga from under his hood before addressing the assistant in a friendly manner.
Shigaraki: "No, thank you. I'm just saying hello to my friend here! I'll be leaving now."
Shigaraki let go of Kuuga's neck as he left the store in a hurry. Kuuga proceeds to gather the things he needs in a hurry before paying at the counter.
Kuuga: "Hey..."
He catches the assistant's attention and hands her a note.
Kuuga: "Call the police. But don't alert anyone. Tell them a man named Tomura Shigaraki is here."
The assistant nervously nods as Kuuga said a quick thank you and rushes out of the store after Shigaraki. He looks down at the ground floor seeing the same hooded man holding Izuku by the neck.
Kuuga: "Tch...! He got him."
He decided to sprint towards the stairs while looking at Izuku to see him struggling already. He picked up the pace as he witnesses Uraraka standing a few meters in front of him, looking at the two.
Uraraka: "Deku?"
Izuku looks at her with tears going out of his eyes.
Uraraka: "A friend...? No..."
Kuuga: "No."
Uraraka turns around to see Kuuga holding his shopping bags while glaring at Shigaraki.
Kuuga: "Far from a friend. Let go of him you bastard."
Uraraka stares wide-eyed at Shigaraki.
Uraraka: (nervously) "Get your hands off him..."
Izuku: "It's nothing! I'm fine! So don't come close!"
Shigaraki suddenly releases Izuku from his grip, grinning.
Shigaraki: "Oh, you had a friend with you? Sorry 'bout that. I'm off, then."
Shigaraki whispers to Izuku before walking away and glancing at Kuuga.
Shigaraki: "Back off."
Shigaraki continued walking away as Uraraka ran to Izuku's aid.
Uraraka: "Deku!"
Izuku: "Wait, Tomura Shigaraki!"
Uraraka: "Shigaraki...?"
Shigaraki stops walking.
Izuku: "What is All For One after?"
Shigaraki: "Who knows? More importantly, you should be careful. The next time we meet will likely be when I have decided to kill you. And you, Kuuga Kiriu, be careful as well and remind her to back off."
Shigaraki left, leaving the mall.
Uraraka: "I'll call the police!"
Kuuga: "I already did. They're on the way."
The police arrived along with some heroes, some being part of Arcane's hero agency, closing the mall to launch an immediate investigation but there was no sign of the villain. Izuku was taken to the police while Kuuga was escorted back home.
------
Kuuga opens the door to his house seeing his mother leaning by the wall, waiting for him.
Arcane: "Kuuga."
Kuuga: "Mom, what are you doing here?"
Arcane: "Don't act like nothing happened. I've been informed on what happened a while ago. What did that bastard do to you?"
Kuuga: "He told me that you should back off. And he wants me."
Arcane: "I see. (Mutters) One For All is possibly doing something again that's why Tsukauchi is asking for any updates on my end..."
Kuuga: (tilts head) "What are you talking about?"
Arcane: "Nothing, but..."
Arcane suddenly hugs Kuuga tightly, making the boy struggle a bit.
Arcane: "...I'm glad you're okay."
