Recap

"Who are you!" Daisuke demanded.

"I have many names, but there is no need to tell a dead man. You don’t understand just how much trouble I went through to get you here. I hope you were worth the trouble, if you are, then I might just have to set my sights on the young fledgling next. "

With these ominous words, the man walked toward Daisuke and proceeded to put his hand on his face. "Don't worry, this will be over soon."

Before Daisuke turned into an empty, dry husk, he screamed like he'd never screamed before. 

Walking back, the mysterious man stumbled. "Take it easy, know," someone else said after he regained his balance."You're still adjusting. "

"I know this is my rest and adaptation period, but I just couldn’t let him wait. Besides, everything in this world is All For One!!!"

"In today's latest news, police have been able to finally identify all the casualties from the Mustafu Mall Incicednt, with the most prominent being the widely known rank 34th pro hero, Eagle, and her husband.

She died a heroic death, staling the villain with her life, allowing heroes to come to the scene and provide a prompt rescue, saving many more from becoming victims of this villain. Meanwhile, her son, Dante Tanaka, has been missing for a month. 

No recent information has been provided. If you have any information at all, please contact the Mustafu police immediately. Please send your regards and hope for Dante's safety. Dante, if you're watching this, please know that we all hope you are safe and get rescued.

In other news, during the last month, many bodies have been turning up, all dead, with most having some degree of burn wounds. They are all small-time villain groups that often commit some kind of evil action. It seems we have a new powerful person in our midst.

It is unknown if he is a villain or a vigilante, but they are both criminals, and as such, it is advised that civilians do not hang out outside too late. If you find any information, please call your local police station. 

Next up after this brief ad, we have our famous show, knowledgeable Iron Stomach Katashi, where Katashi will eat a mysterious food, poop it out, and guess what it is and who made it. Can Katashi use his quirk Analyzation Digestion to win this round or will he be eliminated? Please stay to find out. "

Midoriya Household

Not being able to listen to this anymore, the TV was immediately turned off. After a green-haired boy turned around and, with tears streaming down his face, asked his mother in a shaky voice, "d-d-dante will be fine, r-r-right mom?"

Seeing her son looking so pitiful caused Ms. Midoriya to not be able to find an answer. Instead, she pulled her tear-stricken son into her embrace and just said, "Everything will be alright." It was unknown if she was talking to her son or herself.

Bakugo Household

In a different house, an ash-blond-haired boy was fuming after hearing the news. He shouted, "DANTE, YOU BASTARD. IF YOU DIE YOU CAN’T FULFILL YOUR PROMISE OF COMPETING WITH ME FOR BECOMING THE NUMBER 1. DONT, YOU DARE DIE, YOU BASTRD!!!!!!!"

Meanwhile, during the depth of night, screams could be heard in a compound, as countless bodies were constantly being dropped.

Corpses of all kinds, mostly belonging to adult men, were all burned and were either dead or close to dying of severe injuries.

The cause of all this was a boy, looking around 10 years old. His face was calm despite the horrifying scene before him. 

Countless people were on the floor screaming, yet Dante's, or rather Azure's, gaze was staring at the leader, who had just arrived here and had a furious expression on his face. "Did you do this, BRAT!" shouted the leader.

But without giving Azure any time to answer, he dashed towards him. The leader dwarfed Azure with his huge muscles and size, but Azure’s tranquil expression was still there as if he did not fear death.

The leader punched Azure's face with his huge arm. If this was to land, then Azure would definitely be in danger.

But Azure ducked and used this opportunity to light his hand on fire and punch the leader's chest, burning him on contact.

The leader was startled and jumped back, then he grabbed a metal bat and ran towards Azure. When the leader got in range, he swung down.

But as if the bat wasn’t even a problem, Azure raised his hand and opened his palm. Just when the bat was about to hit Azure’s hand, azure-colored fire started to emit from the hand. 

The temperature was so high that the bat was burned, in an instant. The leader had a fearful expression on his face, but contrary to that, Azure wasn’t fazed, as if this was nothing.

Azure then punched the leader's thighs and burned him. The leader wasn’t able to stand since he was in so much pain.

Azure and the leader exchanged moves, but Azure never inflicted fatal damage. The leader caught on to this fact.

Suddenly, when Azure punched and burned the leaders already scorched right shoulder, the leader didn’t try to escape or dodge like he usually does.

Instead, the leader suddenly held Azure’s fist for 10 seconds before jumping back and laughing widely. 

"Hahahaha. You stinky brat, you are a strong one alright, but even if you have some strong quirks, you are still wet behind the ears. Now that I’ve used my quirk on you, there’s nothing you can do. My quirk is called "connection." When I attach my hand to someone else's for 10 seconds, I can ‘connect’ both of us for some time.

Whenever I take damage, you will also receive 20% of the damage. Heh, scared, aren’t you? Don't worry if you beg me, I might spare your life, hahahaha."

But contrary to the leader's expectations, Azure still held a calm face. And as if he hadn’t heard what the leader said at all, Azure rushed towards the leader and continued to burn him.

Even when burn marks would appear on him. Azure's milky white skin began to develop buns, and even though they were healed quickly, the pain that Azure felt caused him to scrunch up his brow in pain.

This continued for tens of minutes. Finally seeing an opening, Azure sent a fist coated in flames towards the leader's chest. 

But just when they were about to make contact, the fire exploded. The leader was unable to block the fist and was sent back into the wall, coughing.

Azure’s condition wasn’t much better. Receiving the level of injury that caused an adult to cough was not something Azure could take lightly with his 10-year-old body. He had a trace of blood dripping down his mouth, and his fist was scorched.

Looking at Azure’s ‘sorry’ state, the leader laughed through his injuries and said, "heh you brat, I admit causing your fire to explode, making me fall into the wall was a crafty plan, but it's no use.

Even though I’m injured after receiving so many injuries through my quirk and healing them, you must be out of stamina. Since you're strong, if you show loyalty, I’ll let you off and you'll become my subordinate. "

However, contrary to the facade the leader put up, in his heart, he wasn’t as calm. He was anxious about Azure fighting to the death since the kid hadn't shown the typical cowardly behavior that others did when they faced him. 

Even though he wasn’t that injured, his stamina was constantly getting drained and his quirk would end soon. He didn’t mention that his quirk had a 15-minute duration and a 20-minute cooldown. So, trying to end the fight, he mentioned Azure's "injury" and wanted him to give up.

But how could Azure give up on this little villain? Azure showed a cold smile and said, "I looked into your crimes. Is it true that you committed arson, rape, sexual harassment, murder, or robbery? "

The leader showed a troubled expression. He wasn’t the best at lying, so he just didn’t answer. He still believed that Azure was too injured and was buying time, so he said, "Brat, stop trying to get out of this. If you don’t accept it, I’ll just kill you."

Azure, hearing no reply to his question, all but affirmed his belief and answered. So, he stood up and extinguished his flames, then he started walking towards the leader in an unhurried manner.

"Heh, you thought it through, huh. Don't worry as my subordinate, I'll definitely be kind, and I'll forget everything that happened to my origination as long as you work hard," the leader said.

Inwardly, the leader was sneering in his heart at Azure. ‘This kid is strong and has a huge life ahead of him. As long as I nurture him, I can become one of the strongest gangs in Mustafu. ’ 

Laughing in his heart, the leader was excited just thinking about it. Becoming a ruler of the Dark of Mustafu caused his heart to be filled with greed, and the only piece he needed was walking toward him.
