Vanguard Action Squad

The forest training camp continued under the full moon.

The night was silent.

But this night was never going to stay peaceful.

On a dark cliff somewhere in the forest, Tomura Shigaraki, Kurogiri, Himiko Toga, Dabi, and the other members of the League of Villains watched Class 1-A.

Shigaraki spread his arms and laughed wildly.

"Now we have enough people. Whatever. Hurry up and let me start. I can't hold back anymore."

Dabi's patched face remained dark.

"Shut up. Don't ruin this chance."

"This time, we've gathered experienced elites to invade the forest training camp."

"We only succeed. We do not fail."

"We'll show Yuto that the peace you protect is in our hands."

Toga's cheeks flushed with excitement.

"Let's start already. I've wanted to meet Yuto for so long, the man who defeated Stain."

Dabi snorted.

Yuto was the one who had defeated the Hero Killer Stain. That fact had caught his attention too.

"You unstable woman, don't ruin my plan. Yuto is my target."

As he spoke, Dabi controlled blue flames that lit the dark night.

His voice was cold.

"Start. Let them out. Let them fall."

"The false light called heroes will be judged by us, the League of Villains' Vanguard Action Squad."

In an instant, blue flames and purple gas spread through the forest training camp.

The League of Villains' invasion had officially begun.

Their goal was simple.

Destroy the current peace.

And reach the man inside the forest training camp.

That man was Yuto.

At the same time, blue fire and glowing purple gas threw the entire camp into chaos.

Midoriya looked shocked.

"What is this?"

Yaoyorozu saw Sato inhale the purple gas and collapse unconscious.

She immediately covered her nose.

"Don't breathe in the purple gas. It can knock us out."

Class 1-A reacted quickly.

Everyone covered their noses.

Tsuyu said, "This is bad. Villains have invaded the forest training camp, ribbit."

The class cried out in shock.

Mineta shook like a leaf.

"There are so many powerful Pro Heroes here, and villains still dared to invade? Wasn't this supposed to be safe? Why are there villains?"

Mina nodded.

"Yeah. Are they trying to get themselves killed? They actually invaded this place."

Bakugo cracked his knuckles.

"Good. This is perfect for testing how much I've improved."

Pixie-Bob was stunned.

"They must have a death wish if they dared to invade the Pussycats' territory."

Mandalay was the first to regain her focus.

"Retreat first! There are a lot of U.A. students here, and this is not the place for a direct fight."

As soon as she finished speaking, a dark figure shot through the air.

Its target was Mandalay.

For an instant, the air went still.

The shadow was too fast to follow.

Mandalay was about to be struck.

Everyone held their breath.

Then a rainbow-like streak cut into the scene.

A bright flash struck the dark figure.

One Sword Style opened.

One Sword Style: Pound Phoenix.

A blue flying slash blocked the attack.

Yuto's gaze was cold.

"Your enemy is me."

"This time, we are not prey. We are the hunters. We will crush the League of Villains."

His words hit Class 1-A hard.

Mineta shook his head wildly.

"The League of Villains again? Just hearing that name scares me!"

Mina sounded less confident.

"The League? Nomu? This is way too scary."

Bakugo was fired up.

"Damn it, Yuto. I agree with you this time. We have to be the hunters."

Todoroki snorted.

"It's time to counterattack."

Kirishima clenched his fists.

"Let's show the League how much we've improved!"

Class 1-A's fighting spirit rose.

The one Yuto had stopped was Spinner.

He looked like a green-skinned lizard man and held a massive blade.

The weapon was made from hundreds of smaller blades joined together.

Beside Spinner stood another villain.

That was Magne.

Both of them came with fierce momentum.

Spinner stared at Yuto and laughed.

"I heard the inside story through underground channels. You're the man who defeated the Hero Killer Stain, Yuto!"

"Lucky me. I get to meet you here. This time, I'll defeat you in Stain's name."

He pointed his blade at Yuto.

Yuto's expression sharpened.

"This will be the end for you."

The battle was about to begin.

Both sides faced each other as sparks seemed to fill the air.

Then Mandalay looked around and suddenly panicked.

"My nephew Kota is missing!"

Yuto stayed calm.

"Let Class 1-A fight this time. The League is strong, and the Pussycats alone won't be enough."

He continued giving orders.

"You and the others go with Mandalay to rescue Kota. Leave this place to me."

There was no better choice in the current situation.

Mandalay looked at Yuto's firm back and chose to trust him.

"Do as Yuto says."

Pixie-Bob tried to object.

"But they're only fifteen-year-old students."

Mandalay said, "This is an emergency. Kota may be in danger."

"Over the past few days, we've seen Yuto's strength. We should trust them."

Pixie-Bob thought for a moment and nodded seriously.

"You're right."

The League of Villains versus Yuto.

The battle had officially begun.
