observed the room and found that there were two more invisible traps near the cross. Both of them contained rats and he started to suspect that the serial killer knew about his weakness.
"While I think it"s a coincidence, I can"t exclude the possibility that it was aimed towards me. No one even knows who I am...Is someone focusing on me because I am All Might"s successor? The teachers of the U.A. academy should all be trustworthy individuals. At least that"s what Nezu said." Izuku contemplated, walked out of the room and saw that Nemuri was exhausted.
Nemuri was still feeling nauseated. She was kneeling in the corner of the hall and rested her head on the nearby wall.
She tried to adjust her stomach but the moment she felt the horrible smell coming from the bodies, she couldn"t stop herself and vomited again.
Izuku walked up to her and pat her on her back.
"Nemuri...Go outside and take a deep breath. Try not to think about the scene that much or else your stomach will never calm down."
Nemuri looked at Izuku and replied, "Don"t look at me...I look disgusting..." She covered her face with her hands and tried to hide from Izuku.
"He can"t see me like this... or else he won"t...or else he won"t... What? It doesn"t matter. I am too old for that. I am way past my expiration date. Just like Lily said... It"s too late for me to enjoy things like that."
She stood up and went downstairs.
Izuku gazed at her back and said, "You are just feeling unwell. Everyone gets sick once in a while and you"ve witnessed such a horrible scene. It would be weird if you didn"t get sick."
Midnight replied without stopping, "Yeah...But you look completely fine. A student sees thirteen completely disfigured dead bodies and he doesn"t feel unwell yet I, a hero, wasn"t able to stop vomiting for 5 minutes straight. I feel like I am a failure." She walked into a nearby washroom to rinse her mouth.
Izuku sighed and thought, "I"ve changed a lot. I"ve died too many times but you can"t know that. I was still shocked by what I saw, but other than that, I couldn"t feel anything... Sadness, disgust or anger, I felt none of that. These people were just strangers, but if it were my family or girl-friends... I wouldn"t forgive him. Normal people would be highly stressed out after witnessing something like that. I hope that she will be fine."
Nezu was listening to their conversation and frowned, "Many heroes have seen dead people, but those who saw something more brutal than a dead body, quit their job. I hope Midnight won"t do the same." Nezu said and observed the defused bombs. He saw the rats inside and couldn"t help but think of the times when he was confined by humans.
While he was the only animal with the quirk, he could still communicate with animals from the same species. He still had a family and his brothers.
Sadly, every single member of his family died at the hands of humans.
They were experimented on by humans who identified themselves as Villains.
At the time, Nezu was full of hate and rage and wanted to kill all of the humans but he was unable to do anything as he was in a special room without a single escape room.
One day, he saw a kid with a weird gray mask on his face, lurking around the lab.
He knew that the kid didn"t belong to the people who captured him and his family, but he was still hostile to him since he hated humans.
The kid was searching for something when he saw Nezu in the cage. He freed him and took something from the lab before escaping. Nezu was conflicted and didn"t know what to do. He was both kidnapped, and saved by humans. As he ran through the halls, human guards cornered him and he was once again captured. This time, however, a group of humans with weird clothes raided the place and rescued him and other test subjects.
That was when he met All Might for the first time. Young, courageous and a kind guy who wasn"t afraid to talk to a weird animal like him. He was wary at first, but once they talked for a bit, Nezu was slowly changing his view of humans. Some humans were good.
All Might and Nezu got along well but soon, the government found out about the existence of an animal with a quirk and they attempted to kidnap him as well but All Might stopped them and explained how intelligent Nezu was. The government made Nezu do many intelligence tests to find out how smart he truly was and they were astounded when he aced all of them.
Instead of dissecting him for research, he was appointed as a princ.i.p.al of the U.A. Academy. At first, he didn"t want the position of a princ.i.p.al, but after some persuasion, Nezu gave in and agreed to the request of the government. He also agreed to their second request, which was that once he died, they could freely dissect his corpse to find out why he was the only animal with a quirk.
The government knew that with Nezu as the princ.i.p.al, the academy would prosper. They could make more money and more talented individuals would be born for them to control.

As Izuku was standing in front of the main door, he saw someone he hasn"t seen in a while. It was All Might or rather, Toshinori in his frail form.
Izuku waved at him to get his attention.
All Might spotted Izuku and as they pa.s.sed by each other, he whispered to him, "Let"s talk inside."
Izuku followed All Might and saw that something was wrong with him.
All Might sighed and said, "Where is the body? I was told that she was killed."
Izuku frowned and asked, "If I may ask... who are you talking about?"
All Might clenched his teeth and replied, "Melissa...Melissa Shield."
Izuku didn"t know who she was but saw that All Might was really angry.
"There are multiple bodies pilled up on the second floor but I don"t recommend going there. It"s a nightmare" Nezu replied.
Hearing him, All Might sprinted upstairs and opened the door.
The expression on his face turned into disgust and he transformed into his hero form out of anger.
"d.a.m.n IT!" He yelled out and punched the nearby wall, destroying it in process.
Izuku slowly walked up the stairs and said, "Did you know that girl?"
All Might changed into his true form so that he would conserve energy and replied, "I am so sorry young Midoriya...It"s been a long time since we have talked. I owe you an apology." He sat on the ground and continued, "Melissa Shield...was the daughter of one of my old friends. Today, I"ve decided to visit my friend"s house when I saw that the doors were unlocked. I shouldn"t have done it, but I entered his house and found his headless body."
All Might wanted to cry but only a small portion of tears came out. He was already acquainted with death. But losing another one of his old friends, and even his friend"s daughter hurt him badly.
"Not only did I lose Inferno...I also lost my friend David Shield...I feel like my life is falling apart..." All Might sadly commented.
Izuku wasn"t sure what to say since the situation was horrible. He himself didn"t feel anything but he knew that other people must be scarred for life.
"Are there any leads towards the person who murdered your friend David?"

All Might nodded and took out a letter out of his pocket following which he handed it to Izuku.
Izuku silently read the letter and All Might replied, "This was the letter that I found right beside his corpse. It led me to this place. It seems like the person who killed everyone here was also the murderer of David. Not only did he kill him, but he also killed his daughter and made her into this...abomination..."
The letter read,
[Good day to the individual who receives this letter. I am personally inviting you to my new exhibition that will take place in the old Tanuki theater! The exhibition will be on the second floor of the building but be careful! You might trigger one of my flowers and die painfully! All in all... I am sure you will like my wonderful...creation!

Izuku folded the letter and said, "At least we know the name of the killer now."
