The decision to bring Dabi and Todoroki-kun to life at the same time was either the worst or the best idea that Izuku ever had. Maybe both. Yeah, probably both. And it could easily be just the worst idea ever if Shigaraki didn’t insist on having them spawned outside of the Throne Room.

They do that in their common room. Dabi materializes right in front of Spinner and Compress, which should probably stop him from doing something stupid on instinct. Shoto ends up appearing right in front of Yaoyorozu and Uraraka.

Toga decided to join her own villainous teammates for once, while the rest of the 1-A students that they had around were gathered up behind Yaoyorozu and Uraraka.

The 1-B students decided to not participate and instead moved over to Kinoko Komori’s boss room to have a talk with her about her soon-to-be permanent change in status and ascension into daemonhood.

“Where the fuck are…” Dabi says before Spinner or Compress can open their mouths, looking around before his eyes lock onto Shoto Todoroki, with an absolutely hateful glare erupting on his face.

“How intriguing.” Todoroki in the meantime says dryly, studying Yaoyorozu and Uraraka new looks carefully. “So you two were actually yokais in hiding. I can’t believe that I didn’t foresee this development.”

Uraraka just blinks at him in shock at being called a yokai while Yaoyorozu sighs and points at her own ear, while giving Todoroki a strange look. He reads it correctly and grabs his own ear. It, too, is pointy.

“Huh, fascinating.” Todoroki doesn’t appear to be as confused by it as Izuku expected him to be. “So I, too, was a yokai all along.”

…

Is everything alright with his head?

Opinions vary.

“You…!” Dabi shouts, bringing everyone’s attention to himself. He is yelling at Shoto, for some reason. “Why are you here, and why are all those annoying hero shits here as well?! And why aren’t you doing anything?!” He then yells at his own supposed allies.

Toga just rolls her eyes around. Compress tries to be a bit more diplomatic.

“Situation changed, we’ve gotten kidnapped and sent into another world, and we’re supposed to work together.” Compress replies, Dabi giving him a shocked look to which Compress just shrugs. “Look, if they all die, so do we.”

“I’m not going to work with him!” Dabi screeches while pointing at Shoto.

“What is your problem with me?” He asks Dabi, with a look of mild confusion on his face. “I don’t remember us ever meeting. And if it’s another case of accidental insult, like with Inasa Yoarashi, then I can’t apologize enough for it being accidental and I’m always ready to insult you deliberately.”

Oh, oof

Oof indeed.

You sure you’re not long lost siblings or smth, I’m seeing similarities between you two

Can it.

“What is my problem with you?!” Dabi shouts. “I don’t have a problem with you, I have a problem with you and your entire family! You want to know why?” He spreads his arms wide, looking at Shoto with perhaps the most deranged expression that Izuku has ever seen. “It’s because I AM YOUR BROTHER, SHOTO!”

Holy shit what a twist

…

Uraraka and Yaoyorozu gasp loudly. The rest of the audience seems to react similarly. No one expected that! If that was the truth, then… poor Shoto! How is he going to deal with such a terrifying revelation?!

Shoto looks at Dabi, studying him from the top of his head to his shoes and back for a few seconds, before deciding upon a verdict.

“You’re too thin and ugly to be Natsuo.” He announces. “Try again.”

Dabi’s moment of deranged fury is cut short when he briefly loses his ability to breathe. Someone definitely didn’t expect this to happen, and despite likely running through this scenario a thousand times in his head never foresee such a reaction.

But this doesn’t last for long.

“I’m not Natsuo!” Dabi shouts. “I’m Touya!”

“Touya is dead.” Shoto replies calmly. “So, logically, you can’t be him.”

“I can, because I actually survived!” Dabi shouts again. That man’s vocal chords had to be burned out more than his skin, Izuku thinks to himself. It’s nothing but shouting from him. “And I spent years preparing my revenge on Endeavor!”

“Touya was declared dead, because there is no way that someone could survive such a fire.” Shoto replies. “Also, if you truly were Touya, you would have enough inside information about Endeavor’s household to take him down. You could use your injuries and confirmed DNA match to take his prized reputation and career down, thus breaking that man, in record time and with little trouble all while receiving appropriate medical treatment for your burns. You thus cannot be Touya, because according to what I heard about him from Natsuo and Fuyumi, he wasn’t an idiot.”

Shots fired shots fired

Holy shit, this is so fucking cathartic to watch

… maybe a bit.

“He wasn’t an…” Dabi unconsciously repeats the last few words before somehow managing to get even angrier. “YOU FUCKING DARE?!”

Todoroki looks supremely unimpressed by both the volume and the unspoken threat of being burned to ash. That’s what makes Dabi suddenly take an emotional step back and calm down a bit.

“Wait a fucking second.” He says, glaring daggers at Shoto. “Are you trying to gaslight me?”

“Gaslighting isn’t real.” Todoroki replies dryly. “You’re just crazy.”

“I think that you should calm down a bit.” Compress decide to be actively suicidal and tries to make Dabi stand down. “I can relate to your anger caused by your claims to be related to a Top Hero being met with disbelief, but I really think that jumping to murder is too much.”

Wait, he can relate to that?

Oh, yeah, one of his pre-League businesses was running a scam in which he pretended to be Miruko’s cousin gathering money to help her deal with some lawsuit about excessive brutality against villains

People were eating this up like American police officers in a donut shop

… I think I prefer Compress just conventionally robbing people to this.

“I don’t jump to murder!” Dabi shouts back at him. “That’s my default fucking setting, you prick!”

Aaaand I’m starting to regret bringing him here.

what are you talking about, this is hilarious

“I’ve planned to kill you for years, just to see Endeavor broken at the loss of his masterpiece.” Dabi then unleashes another nugget of info concerning what an awful human being he was. “But there’s no point in it if you don’t believe that I’m Touya. It won’t hurt you enough! So, let me prove to you that I truly am a Todoroki. Fuyumi always kicks off her quilt in her sleep because it’s too hot for her under it. The spare key to Endeavor's training room is always hidden by the tree behind the house. Natsuo has a girlfriend with a mouse quirk, but he keeps it hidden from the world so that people won’t pester her due to dating a son of the Number One Hero.”

Todoroki gasps loudly, covering his mouth and looking at Dabi with his eyes wide open, Dabi taking that as a sign of a job well done and stopping his litany of little secrets of the Todoroki household.

“You’ve been stalking us!” Shoto then says, denying all expectations and making Dabi look back at him in total shock for a change.

“Wha… no!” Dabi shouts back, waving his hands around as if trying to repel the allegation physically. “I’m not stalking you, I know that because I am a Todoroki! What the fuck even brought this?”

“Half of the League of Villains is stalking someone from my class.” Shoto replies. “Toga stalks Uraraka-san, Shigaraki stalks Midoriya-kun, you stalking me just makes sense in this context.”

What

Hey, he’s onto something.

Not ‘onto something’, more like ‘on something’.

I’m not stalking you.

What about the mall before the Training Camp?

An exception confirming the rule.

“Well, I’m not stalking anyone.” Compress decides to defend the honor of the League by raising his hand and speaking. “How’s that for your theory?”

“Why though?” Shoto looks at him, temporarily ignoring the now shocked speechless Dabi. “Do you feel like you’re too good for this? Are you looking down on your teammates?”

Compress, who clearly didn’t expect those words, ends up just staring at Shoto with a gaping mouth, his shock almost equalling the one that Dabi was now going through.

“Uhm, Tomura?” Spinner whispers quietly and in the opposite direction to everyone. “Quick question. Was it, like, a requirement? I remember being ill for a few days before the Training Camp, did I miss a meeting when we were deciding on this?”

Oh for fuck sake

There was no such meeting, there was no such rule and I’m not stalking Midoriya

Todoroki is either gaslighting us all or has serious brain damage and it’s his genuine dogshit opinion about the League

Either way, don’t get brainwashed by him

“I’m going to…” Dabi finally wakes up from his brief mental break, but that’s when Shigaraki decides to intervene.

… do nothing at all about it.

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

Yes, it’s me, Shigaraki.

I now have a power of god over you and I’m going to need you to take the chill pill

Try to make his life a living hell without violence if you need it, but the moment you try to attack anyone, I’m pulling your soul out of your body

Try me

“VERY FUCKING WELL!” Dabi yells and tries to throw a giant fireball at Shoto. Before he gets more than a few embers going, he suddenly goes limp and hits the floor, face first.

He wakes up almost immediately as his soul is injected into his own body once more, Dabi pulling his head up just to reveal his definitely broken nose.

“What the fuck was that?!” He shouts, scattering droplets of blood on the floor. It’s colorless but quickly turns blue when exposed to air. Izuku totally forgot that elven blood worked like that, huh.

You breaking your nose on the Fuck Around and Find Out rule that I’m implementing rn

We’ve all been isekai’d to another world and we gotta work together to survive, leave your great revenge for another time

“Oh, really?” Dabi growls while standing up. “Or what? Are you going to just make me stay unconscious? That’s much less of a punishment than getting to see daddy’s little masterpiece and not be allowed to set him on fire.”

Then I’ll do something worse

Something much, much worse

I’ll ask Midoriya to punish you

Why are you bringing me into the League’s inner drama?!

Because it means that you’ll be allowed to creatively torture a villain with your fucked up mind

…

I know you want this, Midoriya

“The green-haired Mini-Might, really?” Dabi laughs. As everything he is doing, he does so in a visibly deranged way. “That’s your solution? C’mon, All Might Junior, show me what you have.”

Sigh.

If you don’t play nice with us, or at least if you won’t stop trying to kill other servants of this Dungeon, I’ll be randomly spawning Endeavor in the same room as you are. In the kitchen, in the toilet, in your bed, under your bed and in a hidden room behind a mirror in your bathroom so that it’ll look as if he was your reflection.

Forever.

And I’ll experiment with his looks, so get ready to have your life enriched with such things as ‘Femboy Endeavor’ and so on.

You’re fucked up, Midoriya, but now that I’m on your side of this sort of mental torture I can understand why you’re doing it.

What an incredible feeling of pure schadenfreude

Dabi doesn’t say anything. Instead, he is just standing there, staring into space with strangely empty-looking eyes. This lasts for a few seconds before Compress gets close and pokes him with his finger.

Which makes him fall backward only to be caught mid-fall thanks to Compress’ quick acting, the man fainting instantly the moment he heard Midoriya’s threat.

I’ll take that as his agreement to cooperate

… that was much more draining than it had any right to be.

Yeah

Let’s get your Todoroki up to speed and get ready for the next thing on the list

***

Shoto takes being told that he was isekai’d and will never return to Japan surprisingly calmly. If anything, he seems more disappointed in his yokai theory being disproved than concerned about the existential horror that he was just served.

“And if you want to talk with someone about the whole Dabi situation, I’m all ears!” Uraraka decides to give him a good taste of her friendship, Yaoyorozu nodding her agreement in the back.

“You do seem to have experience with being stalked by dangerous people that want to be like you, or in this case a part of your family.” Shoto replies calmly before nodding to himself as Uraraka and Yaoyorozu exchange worried looks. “This talk might be useful to me. How are you dealing with Toga nowadays?”

Is he being serious or did he change gaslighting into a form of art

I have absolutely no idea.

“I don’t think that my methods can or should work in your case.” Uraraka replies quickly, Todoroki letting out a disappointed sigh. “But if you need any help, just tell me, alright?”

“Alright.” Todoroki replies.

At the same time, Dabi ends up recovering from his brief loss of consciousness and accepts the same explanation talk from Compress and Spinner, with Toga there mostly to provide… Let's call it emotional support.

Izuku isn’t sure if it’s a good name for it but ehhh, it works.

At least he seemed to somewhat recover from his initial shock. When Compress - for testing purposes only, obviously - mentioned Midoriya’s threat, Dabi didn’t faint. He just started to retch and only avoided vomiting on the spot due to his stomach being completely empty.

“By the way, we might be forced to kill people in this second life of ours.” Yaoyorozu decides to address the important subject. “We even had to do that already when the Bloom’s cultists attacked us.”

“Sounds horrible.” Todoroki decides. “Even if it’s probably necessary. Midoriya-kun, let me ask you for clarification: do you want me to kill people?”

Well…

Yes?

“Alright then.” Todoroki nods with a determined look on his face. “I’ll do it if I have to.”

Yaoyorozu stares at him, clearly shocked by his statement. Oh, right, she didn’t get the full story behind their fight during the sports festival and how Izuku subsequently became his first friend while pulling him into his group of friends and making him slowly learn how to socialize.

Todoroki was taking this friendship very seriously.

…

I ship that

I stare at you judgmentally right now.

I could either say that and make fun of him being ready to kill your enemies or yell at you all for being oh so very heroic

So why haven’t you picked option B?

Because I like seeing you slide down the moral slide towards the abyss of villainy lol

You’ll be disappointed.

***

Yui Kodai’s new body was largely similar to her old one, if you exclude the pointy ears and the faintest pinkish hue to her skin.

Also, a fun fact - as they discovered during their brief foray into the mystical realm of sliders, the night elves were much less restricted in their body-built than the rest of the elves. When they stick to the defaults whenever possible, the result was pretty close to how Yui Kodai was built in the past.

She appears in the middle of the room, wearing her rather scarce outfit, blinking at them all in shock at their appearance.

Just as 1-B was absent for Todoroki’s arrival, so is 1-A for Kodai. It’s something of an inside thing to them.

No, not because the classes still exist in any shape or form, it’s because they were the ones who suffered from Kodai’s horniness.

“We’ve been isekai’d to a magic world.” Monoma takes the lead. “You’re now a Desire Mage, your entire magic dedicated to the trio of local gods of hedonism.”

Kodai stares at him for a few seconds before letting out a loud ‘Mm!’. Izuku still can’t get over a person that was this expressionless also being this horny. Truly, a lesson about not judging the book by the cover.

“However, you’ve received no spell dedicated to one of said gods that is about sex.” Monoma continues, earning himself a (slightly) wide-eyed stare from Kodai. “Tetsutetsu-kun, bring it now please.”

Tetsutetsu does as ordered, bringing a giant pile of paper sheets and putting it on the ground right next to her. It’s about as tall as Yui Kodai herself.

He also gives her the necessary writing utensils, which she accepts while clearly being completely confused about the situation.

Okay, not clearly. But Izuku thinks that this is what she’s thinking. It’s kind of hard to read her.

“You’ll be able to pick one spell of that aspect once you write down ‘I will never write fictional stories about real people’ five thousand times.” Monoma informs her, and this time Kodai is definitely shocked by it. She even went slackjawed! A little bit. “For the second spell you’ll need to write it five thousand times again. And you can lose your spells if you act in public in ways that will make everyone living here uncomfortable, forcing you to start writing all over again. Do you understand?”

Kodai stares at him for a few seconds, before looking at the others gathered in the room with an unspoken plea for salvation. But she finds none.

So, she sighs loudly before looking at Monoma again and letting out a faint ‘mhm’. It seems that Midoriya’s plan for restraining her is a success. They’ll just have to stick to it and make sure that the severity of their sanction won’t start to diminish as time passes.

***

Contrary to Dabi, Shoto and Yui Kodai, bringing Satou and Hatsume to life wasn’t even nearly as emotional. Satou seems to take that exceptionally well.

“Cooking in another world?” He replies once the brief explanation is given to him. “That’s pretty much my favorite manga genre! Yes, I’m in, even if it sucks that we’re not going to go back. So, what sort of ingredients have you already gathered? Meat of some otherworldly creatures? Fruits that don’t exist in our world?”

Silence in the room as Yaoyorozu visibly shrinks a little.

“Well, errr, it’s a still developing situation.” She replies. “But we have, errr, meat. From deers and rabbits.”

“... do you at least have salt? Satou asks her, but he immediately reads the answer from her face. “Flour then?”

“Well, not exactly.” Yaoyorozu replies, once again looking as if she suddenly decided that having this talk was a mistake.

Satou stares at her for a few long seconds. If Izuku had to describe the look on his face with one word, it’d be ‘disappointment’.

“... can I, uhm, can I go back to whatever void my soul was in until the situation changes for the better?” He then asks, looking absolutely dejected at seeing his hopes and dreams tarnished.

“We do have some honey produced by giant, man-eating hornet species that’s apparently a rare delicacy in this world.” Uraraka decides to pitch in her own idea. And it actually ends up working.

“Well, that changes everything!” Satou suddenly straightens himself up on his seat, a smile blooming on his face. “Honey can be used as a marinade to tenderize the meat while it’s being cooked, and I’m curious how the result will taste! You should have started from this.”

Wow, she really wants to test the properties of this honey, doesn’t she?

And she’s not the only one.

… please be horny elsewhere

Hatsume, in the meantime, reacts to being isekai’d in a very… Hatsume way.

“It’s another world?” She asks once they finish delivering the explanations to her. “There’s magic here, but also some advanced technology here and there? And I’m supposed to craft things to unlock new stuff for this, errr, Dungeon, that it can then be used for more efficient threat disposal and to attract more people into it with a prospect of getting some of my prized creations for themselves?”

“That’s the gist of it, yes.” Uraraka replies. “It’s mostly about such a gear likely not having as much of an influence on our equipment limit due to not being created by the Dungeon, but figuring out how local industry works should tell us a lot as well.”

Hatsume grins.

“I haven’t felt so excited ever since I decided to make the world’s best self-defense support tool!” She exclaims while rubbing her hands together. “That one ended up a disappointment, something about firearms being illegal even when you classify them as a support tool, but I’m getting really good vibes from this one!”

Wait, so she was trying to illegally produce firearms for sale?!

That’s one way of saying it, I guess.

I wish Aoyama told me about her in the past, she would make such a great asset to the League.

No.

Yes, Midoriya.

Fucking yes.

“Well, that’s… great?” Uraraka replies. It was the first time that she heard about the firearms bit, and it was clear that it was giving her some mixed feelings. “We’ll get you a room and some materials to experiment with soon.”

And in this foreign world the rules about gun control and creating explosive materials from our world do not apply, just so you know.

Stop enabling her!

Lol no

“Ooh, the voice inside my head that sounds suspiciously like Tomura Shigaraki is raising some valid points.” Hatsume replies, rubbing her hands even more aggressively. She was really impatient to do something with them, and this was her coping mechanism (probably).

Uh-oh.

“Please don’t listen to him.” Uraraka is quick to intervene. She doesn’t even know what said voice said, but she knows that it was probably something bad.

“Well, I always looked forward to Hatsume Industries becoming a great brand in our world.” Hatsume ignores her, however. “And now that I have my original self working on it back home, I can do the same here. Hatsume Industries shall stretch its power across the vastness of the multiverse!”

Yaoyorozu just sighs in the background. This is exactly why she thought that Maina Furasu was a better choice.
