Chapter 172 Drawbacks
In the end, Midoriya reluctantly accepted the "all for one" argument, because there were indeed very unreasonable aspects to this hero society. It was precisely because of this that so many people voluntarily supported him after his story spread widely online.
Izuku Midoriya is a veteran hero fan, so he is very knowledgeable about modern hero laws. He used to chat with people online and discuss issues related to the laws of modern "hero society".
The "Hero Law" was officially issued five years after All Might's debut, and there is another point worth mentioning.
U.A. High School is All Might's alma mater and a hero high school whose core mission is to cultivate and educate heroes.
In fact, before All Might became a hero, there were already many heroes in society fighting crime, and this was the prototype of the "professional hero" we know today.
U.A. High School was originally founded by people of justice, with the aim of nurturing heroes who could bring peace to this chaotic society. This was the original intention behind the establishment of U.A. High School.
In those days, there were heroes active in society, as well as evil enemies who committed crimes with impunity. It was common to see heroes and enemies fighting each other in the streets and alleys.
Specifically, the social order at that time was maintained thanks to the "Yonkai Organization," local tycoons with powerful military forces, and heroes who stood up for justice.
The Japanese government had extremely low credibility and security. In some cases, when enemies committed crimes in the area, citizens would seek help from heroes and gangsters rather than the police... because the police in that era simply wouldn't pay attention to you.
The Japanese government is weak and powerless, the law is nothing but a joke, and most local zaibatsu and yakuza organizations are only concerned with their own interests. Compared to the endless stream of criminal enemies, the number of heroes who can truly uphold justice is limited.
In that chaotic era, those with strong "personalities" could thrive, while those with weak "personalities" could only live a humble life. The aftermath of battles between heroes and enemies could even take their lives. It was such a dark and chaotic era.
All Might debuted as a hero, defeating enemies with lightning speed and igniting hope in everyone's hearts with his joyful entrance. In that era, All Might became a symbol in everyone's heart, a beacon illuminating the darkness and chaos.
While becoming a hero and fighting against criminal enemies, All Might works with the government and police to rebuild the image of a weak and ineffective government in the hearts of citizens, and more and more people admire his actions and step forward to become heroes.
Finally, at that time, the profession of "hero" officially took center stage, completely suppressing the persistently high crime rate.
The enactment of the "Hero Law" came at a time when there were already many active "professional heroes" in society, and the Japanese government had to consider how to manage these heroes.
The Japanese government's initial plan was to have the heroes join the police force and carry out missions entirely under the government's command.
Then... the heroes rejected the idea outright. Are you kidding me?!
What is the government doing when ordinary people suffer? What is the government doing when heroes risk their lives?
"The government is powerless"... This is not something that can be dismissed with a simple apology. The heroes worked hard to salvage the government's credibility and image, but you can't just throw all the heroes into the mess and then discard them.
Although All Might tried his best to persuade the other heroes to cooperate with the Japanese government, the vast majority of the heroes did not agree with this approach. After all, they were the ones who did all the hard work, and in the end, the government just reaped the benefits without lifting a finger. Wasn't that too much?
Then came the "Hero Law," which professionalized "heroes" and allowed them to freely use their "quirks," similar to the "gun laws" in the United States. However, heroes were not allowed to kill criminal enemies on their own; the evidence had to be submitted to government agencies for final review.
But this "heroic law" was ultimately a bit excessive. When many heroes disagreed with it, something suddenly happened that changed the tide.
A hero, in the course of fighting the enemy, accidentally caused the deaths of three innocent civilians and seriously injured seven others, instantly changing the entire social climate.
Many citizens feel that heroes should be managed by the government to prevent their actions of fighting the enemy from affecting innocent people, or causing more damage than the enemy itself.
Most of the heroes backed down. After all, they became heroes to protect the innocent, and they were indeed in the wrong for causing this situation. Perhaps it would be better for them to be governed by law. Therefore, with the support of most heroes, the "Hero Law" was officially promulgated by the Japanese government.
Of course... who knows whether that innocent casualty incident was intentional or unintentional?
The heroes were responsible for searching for and arresting the enemy, while the police were responsible for intelligence and cleanup. The two sides worked together in this way. The captured enemies were handed over to the Japanese government for prosecution and then the appropriate punishment was carried out... Everything was perfect at first.
The heroes carried out the work of protecting the citizens and fighting against the enemy, while the Japanese government pronounced judgment on the enemy's crimes in order to maintain its due prestige and credibility among the citizens.
However, as time went on... a contradiction arose: heroes could not kill their enemies, for a slight misstep could even result in their own death.
There will always be innocent people who are harmed by the enemy, and after their families are saddened and angry, the Japanese government's punishment of the enemy is too lenient. So who can these saddened and angry people hold a grudge against?
Although all of this did not erupt immediately, it gradually deepened and accumulated over time, and finally, with the appearance of Izuku Midoriya, all the conflicts exploded like a powder keg.
The irrationality of the "heroic law" is what creates rifts in this hero society, and these rifts gradually spread throughout the entire society, eventually destroying the social order.
Izuku Midoriya understood the problem, but in reality, this "hero society" was not as fragile as imagined. As long as All Might didn't fall, at least the current peace wouldn't be destroyed.
The "Symbol of Peace" will be passed down, and Mirio Togata, the successor of "one for all," will be the next "Symbol of Peace."
Midoriya knew this, so he had to start thinking about how to prevent the current peace from being disrupted and to resolve the problems arising from this conflict.
Chapter 173 The New "League of Villains"
Japan is an incomplete capitalist country, or rather, a country that still retains feudalistic elements.
Why is the Japanese government so weak in terms of credibility and execution? ...Even if this is not mentioned, most citizens are probably very clear about it, because the so-called Japanese government is just a puppet government controlled by powerful financial groups.
Even if the Japanese government is controlled by large conglomerates, if it is a government that truly cares about its citizens, people will actively support its existence.
However, so-called capitalist governments prioritize serving those in high positions of power, while the needs of ordinary citizens are often ignored. This is why the Japanese people have always disliked the government. The so-called Japanese government may not be as useful as the local yakuza organizations.
However, in the era before "superpowers" appeared, everyone could only endure their suffering... Even if life was tough, they could get through it by just being patient.
However, with the emergence of "Quirks," those with great power were unwilling to remain in the status quo, leading to chaos and the collapse of order... The entire country fell into its darkest period, until the appearance of a hero.
Now you probably understand why "heroes" are unwilling to join the legal system and protect society like special police officers, right?
The Japanese government is not trustworthy. If they were to become police officers, they would probably prioritize protecting those in high positions of power if something were to happen.
The heroes protect ordinary citizens who want to live peaceful lives, and therefore refuse to become part of government institutions. They need to maintain their own rights to prioritize and protect whomever they want.
Maintaining national order is primarily governed by law, and heroes, who require a legitimate cause, ultimately reached a compromise after numerous discussions between the two sides.
"Heroic Law"—that is the true reason for its creation.
................
Izuku Midoriya took a deep breath and got out of bed... After a long period of consideration, he finally managed to organize his thoughts on time.
First of all, there is some truth to the "all for one" argument. If he were arrested by the heroes and the police now, it might really cause chaos and riots, so he shouldn't go to All Might now.
The "heroic law" must be reformed; the unreasonable law is truly the culprit behind the many problems that have arisen.
The next step is quite clear: a more moderate approach is needed to force the government to reform the "heroic laws," and this is the only way to do it.
----------------
Having returned to All For One's office, Izuku Midoriya faced the man and said earnestly:
"I agree with your point of view, but will you really cooperate with my actions?"
Midoriya couldn't help but suspect All For One; this guy clearly had no good intentions, but hearing him talk about reforming this hero society was simply unbelievable.
"Of course, what do you think my real purpose in establishing the 'League of Villains' is? To kill All Might?!"
"Those useless guys can't even touch the hem of All Might's clothes. My real goal is to destroy this hero society. This hypocritical peace is disgusting."
"However, it's clear that external destruction isn't as effective as internal division, Midoriya-kun. The League of Villains' role is now practically negligible."
"You really are a scoundrel."
Izuku Midoriya cursed angrily, thinking that the simple act of "all for one" had directly caused the hero society to fall into a state of division, and that it might even self-destruct if not handled carefully. This old bastard really knew how to handle things.
"Thank you for the compliment, but I'm not some kind of demon after all."
"If your goal isn't to destroy the hero society, then why are you preparing to help me?"
All For One simply laughed and answered Midoriya's question:
"What I want to destroy is the 'Hero Society' established by All Might, but after you, Midoriya-kun, reform the 'Hero Society,' it will no longer be that 'symbol of peace' Hero Society."
"You really are a paranoid person..."
AFO's reasoning was something Izuku Midoriya reluctantly agreed with, because his next move required the cooperation of the League of Villains to truly reform the current problematic hero society.
"Then let's begin..."
...........................
In the League of Villains' bar, Izuku Midoriya and All For One appeared at the same time, while the others had already been summoned there because the true leader of the League of Villains had something to say.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, all·for·one cleared his throat and spoke directly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have something to announce now."
"From this day forward, Izuku Midoriya will assume the position of leader of the League of Villains. Any objections may be raised now."
The words that all·for·one had just said shocked the others so much that they were speechless, while Shigaraki Tomura immediately stood up.
"Teacher, why did you entrust the League of Villains to this kid? Isn't he actually in cahoots with those heroes?!"
"Diao, don't get so agitated."
AllforOne, who was in a good mood today, wasn't angry that Shigaraki Tomura dared to question him. He patiently explained to everyone present.
"Midori-kun is now arguably the most dangerous enemy in this hero society. You know what I mean, right?"
No one present was a fool. Hearing "all for one," they immediately understood the reason. After Izuku Midoriya's actions were exposed, the entire hero society was like boiling oil, just a drop of water away from exploding. "Interesting. So, as the new leader of the League of Villains, what is your goal, Izuku Midoriya?"
Chabi, who had always been an outsider in the League of Villains, suddenly showed great interest and asked Izuku Midoriya about his aspirations.
"This 'heroic society' is no longer suitable for this era; it needs reform."
Midoriya's answer shocked the silent crowd, and finally, the first hand was raised.
"Excellent! I'm joining!"
With a smile on his face, Chabi joined the League of Villains because he heard it was an organization that aimed to build a hero society. Although he was initially confused when he saw that the leader was Shigaraki Tomura, the appearance of All For One forced him to take this enemy organization seriously. And now, with Midoriya Izuku's declaration, he has finally found a leader who shares his ideals.
"I want one too! I want one too!!"
Toga, who hurriedly raised her hand, would follow closely behind Izuku Midoriya wherever he went, because she liked him so much!
"I'm joining in too! I hope it will be a spectacular magic show!"
.................
Thus, a new "League of Villains" was born...
Chapter 174 I am the Kami of the New World!!
The sound of police sirens blared as they rushed to the scene. Police tape was put up, and onlookers, curious but kept outside by the police, gathered until Officer Takunai and Nighteye arrived.
"Is this the third incident already...?"
"Yes, this is already their third operation in just one week."
Nighteye and Officer Takunai arrived at the scene after exchanging words. A body lay on the ground, surrounded by police and cordon, a headless body... The victim's head appeared at the entrance of the police station, along with words written in blood on the ground.
"A blood debt must be paid in blood"
The deceased's identity was quickly uncovered; he was the son of the chairman of a large corporation in the local city. He had previously harmed a family of three due to personal grudges, causing their families to be torn apart and their lives to be lost... However, due to insufficient evidence and the court's deliberate cover-up, the matter was dropped.
This incident was quite well-known at the time. Even though some passionate heroes wanted to uphold justice and find evidence to bring the perpetrators to justice, they ended up being smeared instead. As a result, no one was willing to stand up for this matter anymore.
At the time, many locals were cursing this guy, saying he would get his comeuppance one day, but the man who did evil didn't care. Who in this society would punish him?
Money, power, and the law are all on his side. What hero would be willing to risk becoming an "enemy" to seek justice for a poor, already dead wretch?
Now that the time has come, those who did bad things have finally been punished, and there will always be someone willing to settle old scores.
This is the third incident this week, and the news that has been circulating widely online stems from a statement released by an "enemy organization":
"What heroes cannot do, we will do; we will use the enemy to defeat the enemy, and evil to devour evil."
A new "League of Villains," led by Izuku Midoriya, has begun to act with this declaration as its goal.
Ultimately, everyone is an enemy who has broken the law, and there is no need to care how the world and heroes of justice view it. All that is needed is to state a fact.
"You reckless fools, you're doomed!"
Afterwards, the heroes and police were almost frantic with work. The problems that had arisen made them anxious. The citizens clearly believed that the League of Villains, led by Izuku Midoriya, was the only entity that could truly bring peace to society.
All Might is also having a headache. He doesn't know what All For One did or why Midoriya would make such a big change on his own initiative. Is the future that Nighteye foresaw really going to come true?
The current media climate, the opinions of most citizens, and even the statements of some professional heroes all seem to support the new "League of Villains'" actions, which is giving All Might a real headache.
It's not that Izuku Midoriya's actions were wrong, but All Might knew that All For One definitely didn't have any good intentions. If he were to use the young Izuku to disrupt the peace of society, it would be absolutely terrible!
They couldn't delay any longer. All Might was ready to act immediately. They hadn't been without results during this time; they now had new intelligence about the League of Villains.
The League of Villains' current stronghold is located on the rooftop of the Seaside Building in Kanna Ward. All Might and his men already know this, and their delay in taking action is a result of their meticulous preparations for a capture operation.
First, the citizens of the seaside building and the surrounding area had to be secretly evacuated. If a major battle broke out in this place, countless people would die. Therefore, the heroes and the police made meticulous arrangements.
Another thing is the "teleportation portal" that prevents the black fog. In fact, it is because of its existence that the League of Villains is so troublesome. If they can't beat them, they can run away and no one can catch them.
Therefore, Aizawa Shota will join the battle first, and can use "Eliminate" to interrupt the black mist at crucial moments. In addition, there are heroes with "Tracking Quirk" to assist in the action. If they really get away, at least you can catch up again.
This operation was meticulously planned. Mirio and Endeavor were to join the arrest operation. All Might would not let his guard down against his formidable old rival, All For One. Nighteye had already devised the entire plan, and the operation had to succeed. Failure was not an option.
All Might will not sit idly by and wait to die. This evil man, All For One, has revealed his true colors. This time, we must capture him completely.
