"A few weeks ago - Kyushu"
Hawks.
What happened the other day was very unfortunate.
I thought so, too.
Too many unexpected things happened back then.
If you had told me in advance,
I would've been able deal with it more efficiently.
You're talking too much.
You won't be able to trace this call.
No, no. I'm not doing anything like that.
Hawks is on the phone!
Who's he talking to? His girlfriend?! Oh, no!
It's a secret!
That's so suggestive!
I just want you to believe me.
It's because I'm on the inside that I feel it keenly--
The job of hero should just be done away with.
You can't cast me away.
You're calling me like this
because you know how much I'm worth to you.
If I keep playing the fool,
then you'll start to think more about the return than the risk.
You want to make good use of me, don't you?
Next is your last chance.
See?
I'll have you show your loyalty
to not only the League of Villains but also to the anti-establishment cause.
Make it someone other than the number one hero this time.
Dabi contacted me again.
Honestly, he's still wary of me.
Our conversations are being watched.
Please send everything in code from now on.
I'll pinpoint the location of the Nomus as soon as possible.
Right, I'm off then.
It's unusual for you to come visit me.
How are you feeling?
I'm doing much better.
You couldn't ask the old lady at U.A. to help?
She can't restore what's already been lost.
Contrary to expectations, it's possible for humans to live without a lung.
What about your hero work?
I plan to expose myself again soon.
There are many waiting for me to reform them.
Is that right?
That's too bad.
This is disturbing.
Even though it's already the time we agreed on, I can't get a hold of him.
There's nothing on the Hero Network
about the League being sighted or anything, either.
Did something happen?
It's obviously different from his usual behavior up until now.
You treating a guy's resolve with disdain?
The last day of the year.
"New Year's Eve" "Live Broadcast"
It seemed like it would be hard to go home after switching to the dorm system,
but with pro hero escorts, the students were able to return home for just one day.
"Izuku Midoriya - Quirk: One For All"
With Uraraka and Shinso's help, it somehow turned out okay,
but that super strength...
"Inko Midoriya"
"foam foam"
Mom?!
It's bad for my heart to hear that in person!
Oh, right, Mom--
Do you remember the girl I told you about on the phone, Eri?
Y-Yes.
Actually...
She wrote me a letter!
It's amazing!
"Mr. Deku Your dansing and singing was amazing. Thanks for the fun show. I had fun. The kandy appel was yummy. I'll do my best with my Quirk." "Mr. Deku"
She wrote it while practicing her writing.
I couldn't do that much for her,
but she did her best writing this for me.
It's amazing!
Wait, the Koike family downstairs will think their roof's leaking!
Ever since you were little, you copied All Might...
Saying you'd save people while getting bruises.
Even though you weren't that strong...
That's why I thought, "I have to protect Izuku"...
I thought that for a long time...
But it's like...
Seeing your face now,
I feel relieved somehow.
Mom...
"Off to Endeavor's Agency!"
And then, the new year began...
Do you have your handkerchief?
Yeah!
Stay healthy, okay?
Yeah!
Don't forget to text!
Yeah!
Do your best at your work study.
I'm off!
And I was off to Endeavor's agency.
"Pro Hero - Hawks - Quirk: Fierce Wings"
I'm back.
Oh? Did you go somewhere, Number Two?
To get some coffee. The stuff here tastes like sewage.
It's a problem if you keep flying around as you like!
You should get permission for whatever you do.
What?
I outrank you here, Hawks!
Sir!
Outrank? I didn't know that.
It's my first time hearing it.
Then, you are also in a position to obtain information from the hero center?
"Pro Hero - Slidin' Go"
Well...
Current location! Call records!
Real-time contents of conversations!
What he's seeing!
The countless micro devices installed in Hawks
will expose everything about the heroes.
A grunt like you can take a peek at the Hero Network at best.
But as the number two hero, Hawks can go much deeper!
I was watching you the whole time.
You almost bought black coffee and panicked a little, huh?
I like it sweet.
"Pro Hero - Endeavor - Quirk: Hellflame"
Welcome to working for Endeavor!
That's not what I feel like, though.
"Katsuki Bakugo - Quirk: Explosion" "Shoto Todoroki - Quirk: Half-Cold Half-Hot"
Because Shoto asked, I gave my permission reluctantly,
but I wish Shoto came on his own.
If you gave permission, then don't complain.
Sh-Shoto!
I've thought so since the supplementary lessons, but you're kind of cringey.
Shoto, are you really friends with this boy?
But if I can see how the top hero works,
I don't really care about anything else.
I thought I told you to choose your friends wisely!
Thank you for allowing us to do our work study with you.
Flame Hero: Endeavor.
A top hero whose intense intimidating air makes him reliable.
My strongest impression of him is from the sports festival.
Honestly, since then, I've been scared of him,
but something about him's changed.
Go to Endeavor's?
The three of you?
That sounds good!
You should definitely take advantage of the opportunity!
What should we do about my One For All training?
"Pro Hero - All Might - Quirk: One For All"
I think it's going smoothly right now.
From when Blackwhip first manifested until today,
a different, unknown Quirk hasn't appeared suddenly, right?
If you can visualize the locking and unlocking properly,
I don't think it'll go out of control again.
Yes, sir!
If it were me, I'd blow it all away.
I can imagine it.
It's good timing for you, too, Young Bakugo.
Huh?
You and Endeavor are similar in some ways.
It will be good for you to see the current Endeavor up close.
If you two are going to become top heroes,
then don't miss this chance!
We will do our best to learn from the work of the number one hero!
Shoto's not me...
...right?
Sorry, but I don't plan on looking after anyone but Shoto!
If you want to learn, then watch from the back!
Please give us your instructions!
Watch! From the back!
I received a divine message from the universe!
Run. Run away, citizens!
The corners of Pluto's mouth depict loneliness!
The time of your demise...
...is near!
Oh, dear...
Such bad timing...
"Endeavor" "Quirk: Hellflame" "He can produce high-temperature flames with his body.
"Affiliation: Pro Hero" "Birthday: 8/8" "Height: 195 cm" "Blood Type: AB" "Likes: Kudzu Mochi"
"Hawks" "Quirk: Fierce Wings" "He can manipulate the feathers on his back at will. He can also shoot or transform them.
"Affiliation: Pro Hero" "Birthday: 12/28" "Height: 172 cm" "Blood Type: B" "Likes: Yakitori"
He told us to watch from the back.
We can't watch if we don't follow him.
He started running before sound of the impact.
It's not a matter of being fast!
I received a divine message from the universe!
The evil stars are colluding! We must stop them!
That's the Servant of the Stars from the second ward.
It's too early to be this loud.
This land...
...is about to be covered in darkness.
He's sucking up the glass!
We can't wait for a hero to get here!
Run away, citizens!
I am the one who will destroy the source of the darkness.
"Enlightened Fallen King"
Now, I will expose you!
Messenger of Pluto, come out!
Flashfire Fist!
You control glass, old man?
You show great skill,
but I don't understand you.
This isn't something you should do on my watch.
My throat's burning!
Endeavor!
Please take care of the evacuation!
Now.
Yes...
...sir!
Huh?
Oh, work study students?
Hawks?!
Sorry, I was just a little faster.
I thought Endeavor was in trouble.
Did it look like I was in trouble?
It did, didn't it? Shoto.
Sure...
I thought I told you to let me know when you were coming.
Well, I just happened to be in the area.
We were just following Starservant's orders!
We couldn't disobey him!
Let go!
If you don't let go, it'll be too late!
I'll take over from here.
Thanks.
That guy's the source of the darkness!
The light he gives off...
...brings darkness! And demise!
You took care of this with no casualties again.
This town will be peaceful as long as there's light in your eyes.
N-Nice to meet you.
I'm in U.A. High's hero course, Class 1-A.
My name is Izuku Midoriya!
I know. You're the kid who destroyed his fingers.
Huh?
I've heard about you from Tsukuyomi.
Man, I wanted to work with him again, too.
Where's Tokoyami?
Isn't he continuing his work study at Hawks Agency?
He's working back home with my sidekicks.
I'm too busy, so I feel bad.
Earlier, I was faster than you.
I wonder about that.
Well? What do you want, Hawks?
I don't want anything, but Endeavor--
"Meta Liberation War"
Have you read this book?
Meta Liberation War?
What about it?
Well, you know,
it's gotten really popular recently.
It's from a long time ago,
but it has predictions about the present.
"If you give freedom to a limited number of people,
then the negative consequences will go to the others."
If you don't have time to read it all, I've highlighted some parts for you.
So you can just read those parts.
The leader of the Meta Liberation Army, Destro, ultimately wanted, you know--
A society completed by personal responsibility!
It goes with the times!
Sorry to be so roundabout.
What are you saying?
If that comes to fruition, then we'll have time on our hands.
I'm being watched, so I can only tell you like this.
Please notice, Number One!
I just want to take it easy.
I want to make it a world where heroes have too much time on their hands.
Why do I feel like something's not right?
What does that look on his face mean?
Please make sure you read it.
The book the number two hero is pushing!
I should read it, too.
Maybe the secret to his speed is hidden in it!
Oh?
I brought these just for someone like you!
So prepared!
Where did they come from?
That's right! It's the age of Number Two!
If you've got speed,
I think the power to predict what's coming ahead goes with it!
He's even too fast at passing them out!
You really love this book, huh?
To have so many copies...
I think it's so he can spread the word about it.
That's right!
I've been recommending it to all my friends
and all the heroes across the country.
I think there will at least be the groundwork for liberation ideology.
You should look over at least the parts that were highlighted.
I recommend the second part.
Do your best with the work studies, all four of you!
Train your work study students thoroughly, Endeavor.
Even though he's still young, what he looks at is completely different from us.
He's only 22!
Only six years older, huh?
He's annoying!
Yeah, that's right.
A society completed by personal responsibility!
Welcome to Endeavor Agency!
We're the Flaming Sidekickers!
Oh, it's the famous sidekick, Burnin!
"Pro Hero - Burnin"
It's Bakugo and Shoto's first work study, right?
We'll have you boys working like us starting today,
but as you can see, this is a big agency!
There are more than 30 sidekicks!
In other words, there won't be much chance for you to shine!
Interesting!
So we need to beat the pros at their own game?
That's right!
And Shoto, don't think you'll get special treatment
just 'cause you're Endeavor's son!
At least try to keep up!
There's a request to dispatch!
--Where? --Area 37.
Contact the patrol team immediately!
It's too far from them. We should go!
There's so much going on!
It is the number one agency, after all.
We're usually either on patrol or standing by.
From emergency dispatches to escort jobs and event offers,
we handle over a hundred requests a day.
Then let's hurry up and start working.
I'm mad after that spoonbill cut in!
Are you talking about Hawks?!
I acknowledge your spirit.
Wait for Endeavor's instructions, okay?
There are over a hundred requests, right?!
What're you doing?!
Kacchan, stop it.
It doesn't make sense.
I want you to become a dependable leader now that you're number one.
Tell everyone proudly to stop worrying.
It's too different from back then.
A society completed by personal responsibility!
It goes with the times!
It's like he's saying the complete opposite now.
Bragging with a smile on his face as he said what he really thought.
In front of me, at least, he always seemed like he was joking.
The complete opposite.
You should look over at least the parts that were highlighted.
I recommend the second part.
That was an unnatural way of speaking.
There's something he can't say, but even so, he's trying to tell me...
"The second part"...
"the enemy is"
The second word!
The second words from each highlighted part...
"the enemy is the liberation"
...are connected!
For now, the commission has received my code.
But Endeavor doesn't seem like the type to notice...
Maybe I was a little too roundabout...
With a number of heroes part of the liberation front,
the commission won't want this to be made public.
"Understand from my expression"? Hah, that's gross even if it was me doing it.
But well, I had no choice.
I can't send anything digitally or in writing.
"The enemy...
...is the liberation army.
They number...
...over a hundred thousand.
In four months..."
"to action"
That's right.
In four months,
they'll rise to action.
"Preview"
Here's the preview!
As we continue our work studies at Endeavor Agency,
Kacchan, Todoroki, and I face the things we have to work on.
I must learn to control my power
and be able to perform at my best.
It's okay to go slowly.
I'm definitely moving forward.
Next time, "One Thing at a Time."
The accumulation of that will lead to becoming the greatest hero.
"Next time: One Thing at a Time"
Go beyond!
Plus Ultra!
