05x15 - (S) One Thing at a Time

[bunniefuu]

Status report?

Well...

I'm working hard spreading Liberation ideology.

"Meta Liberation w*r"

About that book you've been passing out to the heroes...

Not only did you read it thoroughly, but you also really get the Destro-ness.

It's obvious you're one of the ones who gets it.

Thanks.

Actually, I still don't get it at all!

Teach me sometime!

Sure, it's not hard.

With a walking billboard like you,

Liberation ideology will spread quickly.

Winning over your base of teens and -somethings would be great for us.

I will continue my work.

Hey, Hawks! You're working really hard, huh?

You're a good guy!

You're evil, aren't you?!

I want you to work for me!

Thanks.

We're not even on the commission's radar yet.

They're investigating the League's involvement in the Deika City incident,

but the troops are doing their jobs well.

And we've slowly started teaching the next generation.

Oh, it's Izuku!

Really? What a coincidence!

From what I saw, they haven't grown much.

Well, they are just students.

Good work!

You may go, Hawks.

I've trained to not lose even the smallest SOS.

Fierce Wings can deduce the type of sound based on vibration.

I can hear you.

Is this all right, Spinner?

Yeah, keep the morale of the troops up.

We'll be doing it soon, right?

In four months...

Boom!

Everything will be destroyed...

...by Tomura.

In four months...

"Pro Hero - Endeavor - Quirk: Hellflame"

"The enemy...

"Meta Liberation w*r"

...is the liberation army.

They number...

...over a hundred thousand.

In four months..."

"to action"

How many heroes are there in here?

What exactly is Shigaraki planning?

"Pro Hero - Hawks - Quirk: Fierce Wings "

I can't walk around freely.

With my wings closed, I can't hear from as far away.

I'm still not sure about the important information.

But it'll be too late once I know the details.

"Before that...

...I'll send...

...a signal."

Hawks, are you secretly investigating the enemy...?

You may not enter here.

What? I'm just looking for the cafeteria...

You may not enter.

Okay, okay. I get it.

If we just surrounded this place right now...

No, I need to think of the fastest way.

I need detailed numbers of the Liberation Army troops,

locations of their concealed sites across the country,

and the names of the heroes helping them so they can be rounded up all at once.

If we don't do it that way, then we'll lose the enemies we can't see

and the citizens would suffer more, too.

That's why...

"In... case of... failure...

...more manpower..."

Is that why you summoned me?

Yes, it would allow for the students to have more experience with villains,

and it should be beneficial for you, as well.

Please train the work study students thoroughly, Endeavor.

The Commission and Hawks have already grasped the outline of the enemy

and are working behind closed doors.

In other words,

the work studies this time are to prepare for that...?!

Honestly, I wasn't sure about that.

To leave the students as insurance for if we fail...

But anyway!

"Pro Hero - Burnin - Quirk: Blazing Hair"

Since Endeavor only wanted Shoto,

you two will probably be working with us.

"Katsuki Bakugo - Quirk: expl*si*n"

I came because I was told I could see the number one hero work up close!

You'll still see it!

"Izuku Midoriya - Quirk: One For All"

Calm down, Kacchan!

"Shoto Todoroki - Quirk: Half-Cold Half-Hot"

It's different from what I expected, though.

I'll try talking to him.

This work study is insurance for our fighting strength.

Goodness... I still don't agree with it, but for now...

Shoto, Deku, Bakugo--

I'll be looking after you three.

From what I saw, they haven't grown much.

I'm glad you're underestimating them.

It was worth stealing their glory back then.

They would've been able to handle it even if I wasn't there.

I'm not interested in training the next generation or anything, but...

Seeing you try so hard changed my mind...

Tsukuyomi, I'm glad you're the one who came to my agency.

You're strong.

Your friends are strong, too.

You get stronger every day.

Faster than me.

It definitely won't go the way the villains want.

The next time the cherry blossoms fall...

...I hope we will all be smiling.

"Fumikage Tokoyami" "Quirk: Dark Shadow" "He has a shadow-like monster inside him that can change shape elastically and fight with him."

"Affiliation: U.A. High School Hero Class -A" "Birthday: /" "Height: cm" "Blood Type: AB" "Likes: Apples"

"Burnin" "Quirk: Blazing Hair" "She can control the flames on her head freely to attack, fly, etc."

"Affiliation: Pro Hero" "Birthday: /" "Height: cm" "Blood Type: Unknown" "Likes: Festivals"

I will train you three.

But before that, Deku and Bakugo, tell me about yourselves.

Tell me what you need to work on right now and what you can do.

I want to be able to control my power and perform at my fullest.

Your Quirk was a super strength so strong you hurt yourself... right?

Yes.

I found a way to control it enough to not injure myself.

But...

Well, after all this time, um...

There's like, this secondary thing... like, um...

"annoyed annoyed annoyed"

it's started manifesting in a different way...

Show me.

If I concentrate and release just about as much as I can tolerate...

This is the most I can handle right now.

If the output wavers,

it'll pour out and get out of control.

What do you mean by "perform at my fullest"?

What do you want to do with it?

This is actually a power that's flexible, like a whip.

I want to turn this from a risk into a weapon I can use.

Right now, I'm trying to see if I can control it the way I do Air Force--

Oh, "Air Force" is

a long-distance attack using wind pressure,

but it needs more output than my body can handle right now.

In my current state, if the amount I can tolerate without stressing my body

is about -%, then Air Force needs %.

I'm a little over.

At this rate, even if I don't injure myself, there's a painful grating,

and it affects my movements.

That's why I practiced so I could release it in an instant and go back right away.

If I could do this with the current Blackwhip,

then theoretically, I should be able to use it.

But in the first place, I adjust my power output as I move,

so adding another factor to that is hard to juggle in my head.

I've been training so that I can do it all at the same time,

but it hasn't been going that well...

It's so long that I don't know what he's talking about!

Analyzing yourself, huh?

Shut up!

So you're saying that you want to constantly be able

to adjust back and forth when you're fighting?

Yes!

You understood him?! You're not number one for nothing!

I watched your fight.

You have a wonderful Quirk.

You created so much wind pressure just by flicking your fingers.

If we're talking about power alone,

yours is comparable to All Might's.

You've had trouble with your Quirk, I see.

You were one of us, too, huh?

Next, what about you?

I want to know what I can't do. That's what I came here to find out.

So cheeky!

Shut up!

Why are you even here, anyway?!

I'm on standby right now!

I meant what I said, damn it.

With my expl*si*n, I've been able to do everything I wanted.

Even if I only have one Quirk, I can become the strongest.

And I also learned that just being strong isn't enough to make someone truly strong.

I came to find what I still need in order to surpass the number one hero.

This kid's...

Very well. Then let's--

Can I go, too?

You're here to learn Flashfire, aren't you?!

I've put into practice the training you drilled into me since I was a kid

on my right side.

Looking back, my head was filled with pointless hatred toward you.

After entering U.A. and spending time with these guys, competing,

my eyes were opened.

Endeavor, in the end, I'm doing what you wanted.

Even if that works for now,

you'll soon reach the limits of that power.

After you graduate, come work for me.

I'll lead you down the path of the mighty.

But remember.

The one I admired

was the person on TV that I watched with Mom.

I came here as a fledgling hero,

in order to become someone worthy of being a hero,

of my own free will.

I came here to use you.

Sorry I'm only here because it's convenient, Number One.

Don't put on the parent act in front of my friends.

The hero, Endeavor... was amazing.

He's amazing.

I still can't forgive you for what you did to Mom.

So... as a "father"...

I want to see how things go from here.

Since he chose to come do his work study here himself,

I thought he was opening up to me a little,

but it looks like I was foolishly mistaken.

Right, very well.

From now on, I will look at you three as heroes.

Rescue, evacuation, and fighting.

These are the three basic categories of what heroes are asked to do.

Normally, heroes focus on either rescue or fighting in their agencies,

but my policy is to do all three.

I know every corner of the city under my jurisdiction

and don't let even the smallest abnormality go unnoticed.

If there's an incident or accident, then I rush to the scene faster than anyone,

and in order to keep casualties down,

if there are bystanders, I keep them back with fire.

The most basic of basics.

Parallel processing and swift response.

Make that the norm.

"Parallel processing"...

It's a matter of what you accumulate.

At U.A., it's hard work.

And here, it's experience.

Build up a mountain of that.

The things all three of you need to work on can be conquered by experience.

This winter, show me that you can capture a villain faster than me just once!

Wait up!

He responds fast.

It's not that I'm not in a hurry.

I was given my Quirk at age .

When everyone else was thinking about where to go with their hands and feet,

I was still learning how to move them.

After learning Full Cowling, which allowed me to control One For All,

I had to practice to make my body use it automatically.

Listen, kid.

You'll have six more Quirks manifest in you.

I need to hurry up and master them and be able to use them.

The hit-and-run suspect has turned the corner and is heading east.

Got it.

He didn't stop accelerating...

...when he turned?!

Ouch!

Ow...

Hit-and-run suspect captured!

You were a step late, huh?

It takes me longer to get warmed up in the winter.

Bakugo, did you notice?

"irritated irritated irritated"

There's nothing you could realize that I couldn't!

Anyway, just spit it out!

S-So petty...

He used flames to propel himself whenever he sped up.

The Jetburn he used in Kyushu with the Nomu...

He probably compressed that and made it into propulsion.

I know because I have the same Quirk...

The speed he can bring out at that high temperature,

and the delicate control he needs over those flames to do that...

He's copying my expl*si*n.

Anyway, you just noticed that now?

Yeah, I took the long way.

Let me say one more thing.

There's a big street that way.

I see!

By emitting flames to intimidate the suspect,

he narrowed down the path the suspect could take to escape!

Go on.

Leave this to us!

It's rare for that guy to teach anyone other than Shoto anything.

We'll catch up later!

Using flames... as propulsion...

My control...!

You're not going to work with your sidekicks?

At Kyushu, Hawks and I split up the work,

but normally, heroes need to be able to do everything by themselves.

By the way,

I also noticed the glass villain's underlings earlier.

So petty.

Kacchan...!

Bakugo.

You said you wanted to know what you couldn't do, right?

It's true that your movements are fast.

You're pretty good.

For a rookie, anyway.

But right now, you just saw that you couldn't beat me.

In the winter, I need to prep--

Are you going to make the same excuse when you don't make it in time?!

This isn't a class.

If you don't make it in time, what you'll lose isn't points for a grade--

It's a person's life.

A-Are you all right?

Y-Yes.

Shoto, Bakugo.

The two of you have the same homework--

Why am I always with this guy?!

It's connected to learning Flashfire, right?

Store it up and fire. Condense your power.

Be able to release your maximum output in an instant,

and focus your power precisely.

First, keep repeating this until you can do one of those things without thinking.

Kacchan, it's like your Armor-Piercing Shot!

"Chills"

"Pissed"

Why do you know that, b*stard?!

Seriously, stay away from me!

Shoto, you're partway there with both.

First, practice precision.

You're able to control the shape of your ice to a certain extent, right?

Try doing the same thing with your flames.

Deku, you can draw up your power in an instant, right?

Yes.

Can you even do it without thinking?

Yes...

I can with Full Cowling.

I still need to think when I'm using Air Force, though...

Then practice until you can use that Air Force without thinking.

Forget about the secondary ability for now.

But what about parallel processing...?

In the first place,

everyone does things with parallel processing every day.

Subconsciously, that is.

Like that man driving the car over there.

He didn't start off knowing how to drive.

Turning the wheel, pressing on the accelerator and brake pedals,

checking in front and behind.

One by one, he had to learn about them

and learn to do them all at the same time without thinking.

First, you need to be able to do two things at once without thinking.

When you can do that, add another thing.

No matter how strong the power,

its foundation is still steady accumulation.

There are exceptions.

But those who aren't exceptions just have to accumulate it.

At least, that's the only way I know how to do it.

Even if you're doing repetitions of the same thing,

the experience you get at school and on the job are completely different.

Take what you've cultivated at school

and get your body used to it here-- in the best environment possible.

I was given so much by All Might.

I experienced so much after enrolling in U.A.

I feel like I'm being led around by the nose at dizzying speeds...

...but even so, I...

What? You can fail without worry.

The success or failure of three like you

has absolutely no effect on my work!

That's right. I'm moving forward.

At the fastest speed I can right now.

Go beyond!

One thing at a time...

Forward!

"One Thing at a Time"

"Preview"

Here's the preview!

Ryukyu's agency, where Uraraka and Asui are doing their work study,

received a request to team up.

The request came from Shipwreck Hero: Selkie.

They need to find an escaped smuggling ship.

Be careful, Uraraka, Asui!

Next time, "Long Time No See, Selkie."

A hero doesn't give up until the end!

Go beyond!

"Next time: Long Time No See, Selkie"

Plus Ultra!
