Chapter 76 - Chapter 76 | Another Traitor?

(Wow, I had forgotten how it felt being in my dorm. I must say, I've missed this place. I think I need to explain to you a few things now that I can. You know, I won't be able to do it later on.)

(After everything that has happened, I'm now back at U.A., but there's still someone who doesn't fully trust me. My redemption is not fully completed yet, and I still have to prove to everyone that I switched sides with the Heroes. To not make AFO and the others notice, I kept acting as a Villain and regularly went to the refuge to say hi, even if I didn't care anymore. Without him knowing, the others and I have planned an operation to defeat All For One. So yeah, I'm now doing the exact opposite of what I've been doing up until now: I'm acting as a Villain while operating for the Heroes. This is the only way I can fully redeem myself.)

(Unfortunately, though, even now it's not all flowers and rainbows. Some civilians still think that I can't be trusted--and I don't blame them--and that I could betray Heroes at any moment. Furthermore, I've recently heard that the Government sent the #1 American Hero Star and Stripe to fight Tomura-nii--I know, I shouldn't call him that at this point--but unfortunately, he won and killed her. It's a good thing, though, that 'New Order' destroyed some of Tomura-nii's Quirks, which means I have now more Quirks and I'm less possessed compared to him. Though I doubt I can beat him in a 1v1. For now.)

(I still remember Itsuka's words that day. The way she defended me really made me cry. Now I'm all cleaned up and fixed, thank Goodness. My classmates said they'll participate in the final battle, and this makes me glad. But still, I began to train with Class A, since they are a better class and a better group to train with.)

(How's my training going, you ask? Well, handling All For One's Quirk is not an easy thing, so I rolled up my sleeves, put 'Eye of the Tiger' on, and started the toughest training of my life.)

(I wake up at 6 AM. Milk for breakfast. 100 push-ups. 100 sit-ups. 100 squats. 10 km run. Then off to Gym Gamma. I improved 'Ultra Reflex' by programming some robots to shoot at me. No one hit me. Then 'Lightning Step' training by dodging other robots' attacks. Then I go to the forest nearby and train with 'Air Cannon.' At the end of the day, I'm tired.)

(If you're wondering, I still have a scar over my right eye and another one on the left corner of my mouth. I still can't use 'Regeneration' properly, so they just stayed there. Now I think I've said everything you needed to know. Let's go back with the story.)

League of Villains' new hideout

"It's all right, other me," All For One said as Shigaraki was crawling to the ground. "It's all right. The factors mixed up and are now hurting you, that's all."

"I'll kill him, I'll kill him!" Shigaraki said. "Until there's someone who still remembers All Might, this anger won't go away!"

"Calm down, Tomura-nii," Satoru said with his hands in his pockets. "If you get angry, it'll hurt even more."

"There's no rush," All For One said. "Focusing on a single goal is no good."

He turned to Dabi. "I'm sorry for you, who have been preparing this for a long time. You'll have to stay quiet for a bit."

"That's impossible, I'm at my limit," Dabi said. "My father is still out there flying. I can't allow it."

"Anyway," Satoru tried to say. "Does anyone know where Himiko-chan is?"

"Can't you really think about anything else other than that girl?" All For One asked.

"No," Satoru said firmly. "She's the only reason my heart still beats. And you should know this."

"Tch, love... such a mere, useless feeling..." All For One muttered. "I thought you were heartless, Satoru."

Forest near U.A.

Satoru was walking in the forest during a break from his training with Class A.

I'm going to mess things up once again, I just know it... he thought. Suddenly, he heard a voice.

"You have no choice. If we don't do this, we'll be killed, Yuga!"

Satoru hid behind a tree. Aoyama? What is he doing?

"Okasan... Otosan... I..." Aoyama tried to say.

So you're telling me I wasn't the only traitor at U.A., there was another one, and most importantly, All For One didn't say anything about it? Thinking about it, it was strange. I've never given the League information about the locations or the Quirks of the student, because AFO never asked me to. That's because Aoyama did all of this, while I was just chilling and taking the blame for being a Villain, while he also is!

Satoru peeked through the tree and noticed that Aoyama and Izuku were talking.

"Midoriya-kun... I led them to you. I'm a terrible Villain."

Aoyama's parents grabbed his hands and pulled him away. Izuku ran after them.

I must do something! Satoru came out of his hideout and immobilized Aoyama, getting on top of him. "So you... were a Villain too."

"Satoru-kun, what are you..." Izuku said. "You were listening?"

"Answer me, Aoyama," Satoru said as his grip on Aoyama's neck tightened. "I may be by your side now, but my methods are still the ones of a Villain. You knew I was a traitor and didn't say anything 'cause AFO told you, isn't that right?"

"I guess you were silently laughing when I was discovered, huh? You enjoyed seeing me fall depressed, didn't you?"

Satoru punched Aoyama. "Now I'm gonna bring you to the police!"

"Satoru-kun, stop that!" Izuku exclaimed. "We're going to... fix everything."

Aoyama and his parents got tied to a chair and exposed in front of Class A, Satoru, Tsukauchi, and All Might.

"So he's a mole, just like you were, Akiyama..." said Tsukauchi. "Since he didn't explode, I guess he didn't have something in his Quirk like Nagant."

"If possible, I'd like it if you went out of the room," said Principal Nezu.

"Tch, fine, I'll do it..." Satoru started to walk away. "Just the fact that another mole was at U.A. and I didn't even know pisses me off."

"Satoru-kun, wait..." Uraraka said.

"Nah," said Satoru. "Aoyama's your classmate, you must deal with him. That's none of my business."

He turned to Aoyama. "Just know this, Aoyama. I, too, have been in your situation, and just as I suffered, so you must suffer too. However, I have been forgiven, and so it is only right that you be forgiven too."

Satoru closed the door behind him. "Tch, that All For One... always doing things without telling me. Damn him."
