Throne Of Time

Upon returning to school, all the students took their seats. They were all more or less perplexed. Nobody would have ever expected that during this activity, which should have been pleasant and in which they would have learned better the experience in the field as true heroes, would have turned into a "disaster" for society.

"Ah, guys, I'm really exhausted!" Eijiro Kirishima exclaimed. His appearance said everything about his experience, not to mention the hero who mentored him did not really give him any slack at all, constantly telling him to do better.

But perhaps the ones who had a more reflective gaze than the others were Tenya Ida, Shoto Todoroki, and Izuku Midoriya. After all, they faced off with the "Hero Killer."

After exclaiming, Eijiro Kirishima turned in the direction of Izuku Midoriya, and with a smile, Eijiro asked the freckled boy, "Hey, Midoriya, how was the experience? You know ... I heard you had a face-to-face match against Stain!"

Hearing his classmate, Midoriya gave a somewhat embarrassed smile, but before he could open his mouth to give an answer, a voice cut him off.

"I think you have to think about something else, and it's definitely not the happening in Hosu that you should worry about."

The students recognized this voice immediately. After all, it's their homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa.

The students stood up to greet their professor.

"Sit down," Aizawa said, watching them standing up to greet him.

"Even if Hosu's story is over, even if in a way that we professional heroes might not have expected, you heroics students still have to think about something else ..." Taking a few seconds of pause, Aizawa continued.

"First Term Final Exam," he said in a deep voice to which some students gulped.

Hearing those words, some students did not change their gaze, but this cannot be said for all. Many students, on the contrary, immediately got panicked.

"Sorry for this unannounced meeting," said the U.A. High School principal. His back was straight, and there was a stern expression on his rodent face.

"Unfortunately, after what happened in Hosu City, I wanted to know your opinion on the event. Especially Miss Tokisaki, who had the opportunity to participate in the scene of the event in the first place," continued Nezu, addressing his gaze in the direction of Kurumi, who was watching the school principal with a smile.

After hearing the headmaster's words, Kurumi looked thoughtful for a few seconds. Kurumi then replied with a smile, "Contrary to what the papers say, I don't think Stain really belonged to the League of Villains. His reasons were far more "noble" than joining a group of society's terrorists."

Kurumi paused for a few seconds as if something came up to her mind, "While this sounds really hard to believe, I think there is a traitor within the heroes."

What Kurumi said was as if she set a bomb fuse on fire, "Impossible!" many heroes responded, categorically denying what Kurumi said.

Kurumi shook her head, "Don't be quick to give an answer."

"When Stain said his great "aspirations," only students and heroes were present on the scene, no one else, not even journalists who, to get fresh news, throw themselves on the crime scene regardless of their own safety."

"Yet ... how did the League of Villains manage to get a record of what Stain said?"

Kurumi's following words left every hero in thought. No one said anything for a minute, which seemed a massive amount of time to every hero.

They did not want to believe it. But after all, the seed of doubt has already been planted in the hearts of every single hero.

Seeing the atmosphere become something he didn't want to see, Nezu immediately changed the subject.

"There is another situation that requires your opinion. It is the First Term Final Exam. As you well know, we usually have students face robots, but seeing how the criminal situation is becoming more prolific than the last years, I want to propose that teachers face against the students."

The heroes in the meeting room still have a severe face from what Kurumi said before, but even then, many heroes gave their own opinion on the principal proposal.

All Might has always been silent. He did not say anything, from beginning to end. This was not All Might style, at least this Nezu knew.

"What is in your mind, All Might?" asked the principal after everyone left the meeting room.

All Might shook his head, and with a deep voice, he replied to Nezu's question, "I was thinking of what Kurumi said, is heroism a concept so simple yet so hard to comprehend for people, so they go astray?"

Nezu stayed silent to the hero's words at first, but taking a deep breath, he said, "All Might, I don't know if I said this before, but look out for Tokisaki Kurumi …."

"I hope I'm wrong about this because I trust you as a person, and I see you as the person with the most incredible morals I have seen."

All Might skinny hand became a fist, showing the inner emotions of the hero.

"Do you remember what happened when an entire ill-famed district suddenly aged? —"

Nezu could not ultimately end his speech that All Might interrupted him, "If there is nothing else, I will go!"

Nezu knows that All Might suspects something. The hero's not stupid. Still, it's that personality so upright that makes him impossible to do anything, or at least to do anything without being one hundred percent sure that it's true.

—

Leaving the room, Kurumi knew what Nezu it's trying to do. Still, even if she does, she does not care about it. She is just playing the same game as him, not to mention that Kurumi feels it, the clock is ticking, and the hour is coming. This little game of theirs will end sooner or later, but it's exciting to think about it.

What she cares about, it's only results. She is determined to sever this relationship with All Might to reach her goal, one of the two people that in this world she does not dislike.

"You are really sinful to make me think about that moment, Principal Nezu," said Kurumi with an expecting look in her eyes.

Heya, this is Reality. After nearly 1 year of problems, I came back. I'm genuinely sorry for the wait and for making the many people who read my story wait. One thing to say, I'm sorry for the short chapter. I wanted to try to deliver something more extensive, but the knowledge of my own fanfiction is currently lacking. This makes me somewhat embarrassed, haha. For this problem, I do not think the following chapters will take back the original style they had.. I did not write anything for a long while, and many of my old plans are probably messed up, *embarrassed*. Still, see you next chapter, and hello to the many of you!
