I'm excited to write this chapter, now that the League of Villains is starting to make their moves I can finally introduce magical enemies, or at least weaponry to give them a fighting chance against our favorite OP broccoli boi. Not that these will come easily of course...Or cheap.

"Frostfire, thaw him out. His wounds are cauterized so he should be fine but I'd rather not have him die of hypothermia after all the trouble we went through." I went back to my serious mode, Stain was stable for now, but he still only had 10 hp out of 100. Essentially anything stronger than a dog bite would kill him if we weren't careful.

Stepping closer I plant a quick kiss on Stain's forearm, bringing about shocked and confused looks from the others until they noticed his wounds closing entirely and color returning to the killer's face.

"What are you doing Yugi-kun?! After everything he did why would you heal him!" Iida protested, not wanting to get the villain back on his feet so quickly after beating him. After all those heroes died or were crippled by his hands.

"Questions need to be answered, and no, they can't wait. That blade we found earlier was able to cut my arm off, before using that he couldn't even cut through my skin. I can't allow something like that, or whoever supplied him with it to roam free." Even if it was a one of a kind item, anything similar would be fatal for most people. This weapon wasn't even particularly deadly since most wounds took weeks to heal, not hours, making the anti-regen useless.

But if they created a combat-based mystic code? It sent shivers down my spine.

The others couldn't deny that logic, plus with all the Nomu walking around friendly-fire was entirely possible, the League likely not wanting Stain to reveal any secrets. 'Think of the devil' I thought as a flying Nomu made its way towards us. To anyone else, it might have been going relatively fast. But to me, it was dive-bombing us at a speed that made Stain look like All Might.

A quick 50% Delaware Smash knocked it out of the air and into a nearby building, its body staying there in a dazed state. And it would remain there for quite a while since I then threw one of Stain's blades right into it's exposed brain. "That's two of them. The only one left would be the bulky one." I say casually, not noticing the other heroes staring at me with shock at how easily I took out the flying nuisance.

"Where the hell did that flying nuisance go-." Endeavor yelled as he ran across a corner only to see his target already dead. Great, now I have to call it something else or risk sounding like the flaming douche.

"I took care of it since you're here I can assume the bigger one is already dead?" Why did he look so surprised? It's not like taking down that cannon fodder was much of a- oh he's starring at my stump. Makes sense. "Yeah, Stain over there had some special weaponry, don't worry though, it should heal by tomorrow." I waved him off, only surprising him more as his eyes snapped to the unconscious ninja turtle reject lying next to us.

"Lucky brat." He muttered under his breath, barely audible to most of us, but still enough for Shoto to smile at his father's frustrations. "Whatever, the police should be here at any moment, tie him down I don't want any surprise escapes." For once we were in agreement.

And as the heroes who were directly involved with his capture, we were allowed to tag along. Or at least Mirko, Frostfire, and I were. Tenya and Native were too injured to do so but I got a free pass since my healing factor was well known and I wasn't bleeding any more.

2 hours later, Police station.

"And that's basically what happened, luckily the league didn't have anything close to what the USJ Nomu was so we managed to take care of the small fry easily enough." I finished telling my story to Tsukauchi, who sweatdropped at having creatures who could take on multiple pro heroes each referred to as 'small fry'.

"You know if it were any other person I could have sworn that my quirk was going on the fritz. But knowing that you're All Might's successor let me prep for the type of unique nonsense that seems to follow you two." The tired detective admitted, nearly regretting taking the position of lead investigator for anything League related. Honestly, magic. Magic! What was next, aliens?

"I have two questions left, first, did Mirko specifically give you permission to use your quirk as you saw fit during an emergency situation?" He had to make absolutely sure, just in case he needed to make some quick legal maneuvering to keep me safe. A thumbs up gave him his answer.

"And finally, is there any hypnosis type magecraft, and if so is there any way to protect against it?" If anyone needed to be protected from such things it was the detective with a lie detector quirk.

"There is and there are. I don't know how to perform any of the countermeasures at the moment though so I'll need some time to develop that. Give me a week and I'll see what I can do, for now just try to keep the topic out of your head as much as possible. Distract yourself, maybe take a few vacation days, stuff like that. Mages can only read surface thoughts on a whim, anything deeper requires more work." It wasn't perfect but it was the best we had on such short notice.

"...I'll keep that in mind." The overworked Japanese man took the advice under serious consideration.

*Boom. What I could only assume was a sonic boom echoed through the walls. "That's probably All Might, I should tell him everything that happened, have a good day Tsukauchi-san." I bow and head out. Something tells me that I'll be experiencing a bearhug in the near future.

"My baby!" I just didn't expect it to come from my mother, though after that shit show at Hosu I really should have. It must have been on live tv even if it only lasted for a few minutes. "I was so worried! Oh my god, what happened to your arm?! Does it hurt? Do you need painkillers? Will it grow back?!" A panicked string of words that could only be followed by the most experienced of speedsters shot out of her mouth.

All Might was indeed there, staying a safe distance away from the danger zone and not intending to take a step forward until I calmed mom down. 'This just in, All Might fears housewife. Sends his successor into the firing line.' This was going to take a while.

Several hours, in fact, granted a bit of that was explaining what happened to All Might. I definitely got him worried, knowing that yet another threat was out there and that it was quite the significant one. But he didn't become the #1 hero by being a coward, by the end of my explanation he bounced back with a big grin saying that he'd help as much as he could.

It was already sunrise by the time we finally left the police station and all I wanted to do was to sleep this off and hope that my arm comes back when I wake up. *flash flash. 'Oh for fucks sake.' I thought as dozens, maybe hundreds of camera flashes went right into my eyes while the media vultures cried out of an interview.

Not wanting to deal with this crap right now I raised my hand and stared down the reporters with the hardest look I could muster. Which must have been pretty bad since they all immediately shut up. Not that I was complaining.

"I've spent all day today, training, fighting, killing monsters, and bringing in a hero killer. I've lost an arm, a lot of blood, and I'm tired. So if you don't mind, I'm going to drive home with my mother and sleep this off." I made myself perfectly clear, pointing at my stump and daring anyone to stop me as I walked by with All Might and mom following awkwardly behind me.

The silence lasted until the moment we stepped into our car and mom started the car, All Might barely fitting into the mini-van. "Young Midoriya, have I ever told you that you're pretty scary when you're angry?" Ah, I guess I was a bit annoyed at the time. It seems to have worked so I couldn't complain.

'Wait a second did I just enter a car with All Might and mom. After saying that we were going home. In front of hundreds of reporters.'...Fuck.

Next day, Izuku's apartment, 9:00 AM

After the whole Stain incident, I was cut off by Mirko who decided that I had pretty much nothing left to learn from her. She did leave me with her contact information though, hinting at making me her sidekick whenever I finally earn my provisional license. Plus I could use the extra time to work on a few things.

'Iron, gold, silver, mercury...So many materials and I need them all in large amounts.' It was the next day, my arm had grown back, though it was still raw. And now I was trying my hand mystic code creation. Gotta keep up with the arms-race after all.

Right now I was thinking of developing a necklace designed to block any magical mental interferences. Easier said than done. Runecraft went a long way, and now that I had most of my circuits power wasn't too much of an issue. The real problem came with the earlier mentioned materials and my latest magical field of interest.

"Why does alchemy need to be so vague? At this point, I think I should just use the physics powered version of reality and stick with it." What's the point of fucking with reality when it was already full of little shortcuts? 'For example, the fact that over 99% of all matter is just empty space. Possible intangibility? Further research needed.'

On another note, I finally used all those points that I gained from leveling up. A grand total of 50...I feel like these were supposed to be used early on for comparatively massive power boosts. Using them now was useful, don't get me wrong. But...It was just so underwhelming.

They all went into WIS of course, all of my physical stats can be improved easily enough but INT and WIS, aren't so easy to improve. I could study more subjects and improve my brain using alchemy to raise my INT but WIS was a lot tricker. It being my lowest stat by over 100 points also helped my decision.

'I should probably visit the girls today. Maybe some more eyes on this problem will help.' Apparently the girls knew more or less what was going on from the party menu and were especially worried when I suddenly lost a good chunk of hp that didn't come back. Visiting would be a good way to lay some of those worries to rest.

'I wonder what time would be best?' *Ping "Izuku Midoriya, you, us, my house, 10 minutes. Or else." ~Momo Yaoyorozu.

'Immediately it is, lest I face the wrath of several angry girlfriends.' I thought, survival instincts kicking in as I quickly explained the situation to mom while hurriedly shoving magical reagents into my inventory.

To my surprise mom actually looked at me with an understanding but concerned look before she wished me luck. By the time I got to the door, it almost felt like she was watching me run to my death. Then I remembered that I likely had three or four pissed off girlfriends to worry about. 'It was a good life'...

9 minutes later.

I arrive at the sight of Momo standing outside the gates to her mansion with a fucking whip in her hands. She looked at me, then to her watch, then back to me. "You're lucky you're punctual. Get inside, the others have prepared several pages of material for this." I swallow hard and do as she said, hoping that submitting would lessen my punishment.

As we made our way to Momo's room I could hear three voices from the other side of her door. 'Time to face the music.' We opened the door, only for me to get immediately glomped by an Uraraka missile going at full speed.

"You-You're-" She fumbled over her words, voice low and eyes hidden.

"I'm ok Ochako-chan, you know that it takes more than a missing limb to keep me down!" I try to console her...Completely misreading the situation.

"YOU ABSOLUTE IDIOT!" My comment pushed her anger from a 9.5 to a solid 10 as she used her quirk on me before slamming my head into Momo's mahogany floor with a picture-perfect Russian suplex.

-200 "Ack!"

"You went out to fight the fucking Hero Killer...And didn't invite me! Not only that but you nearly died don't even bother lying and saying that you could handle it, I saw the healing debuff..." Oh. Oh, shit this was bad.

"O-Ochako-chan, I'm so sorr-"

"No, you're not. Don't lie to me Izuku I know for a fact that if this happened again you'd do the same thing. I know that I'm not strong enough to help you against these kinds of opponents and I know that you were just doing what you thought was right." Wait so why-

"Which is why we decided to go relatively easy on you compared to what I was going to do when I was angrier. Ibara-chan came along to make sure we didn't go too far." She finished, a saccharin smile on her face as she pointed at the two other girls in the room. Ibara was waving while trying to convince herself that she came for the right reasons while Pony just shook her head, knowing where this was really going.

"Was that why Momo-chan had the whip?" I asked, internally panicking at the suggestive weapon.

"What whip?" Ochako lost a bit of steam as she stared at Momo with a confused look, the ravenette blushing at the sudden attention before muttering that she was taking some lessons from Midnight who was all too happy to have a mini-me to teach the basics to.

'Asobi, analysis.' 'You dead son.' 'I thought so.'

I'm going to be honest with you guys, other than fluff and character development most of the next few chapters are going to have a severe lack of action until the final exams come up. Though it will be followed by an intense abundance of action once the Two Heroes arc comes up.

That being said this stories upload schedule is going to take a hit since August is almost here and I'll be honest, it's going to be the busiest month I've had all year. Though not necessarily for bad reasons. It's my birth month for one, so that's a thing, but I also start my next semester of medical school so there's the biggest time sink right there.

Oh well, see you all later, next upload will probably be either the King of Blacksmiths story or False King, I'm in some serious need of badassery and those two are the best option by far.
