CHAPTER START---

Sitting in his kitchen Law enjoys a simple dinner of white rice, black mushrooms, and grilled chicken.

After a long and admittedly difficult workout, Law sits at the counter and turns on the TV, taking a sip of his water as the news starts.

"Welcome to Shinjitsu news," the anchor starts, a slender older gentleman with water for hair, styled like a constantly flowing waterfall but never reaching past his shoulders or even touching his grey suit. "Following the villain attack at UA's disaster simulation facility yesterday, new information has been uncovered."Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

Law takes another sip of his water and continues eating, eyes still on the screen as the man continues.

"The statement released by UA only hours after the attack has been completely confirmed by the administration, the police have also confirmed via statements and claims the villains made during the attack that they fully intended to attack and kill All Might, our Symbol Of Peace.

Seventy-seven low-level thugs were gathered as well as the ringleader, a blue-haired man with dried and cracked grey skin and multiple detached human hands gripping his body, he goes by the name 'Shigaraki' as far as officials know."

A picture of Shigaraki appears, bound in metal restraints.

"His Quirk is a disintegration Quirk, when all five of his fingers on either hand touch anything it immediately begins falling apart, organic and inorganic matter alike.

Accompanying him was his presumed second in command, the man identified by the name 'Kurogiri', a villain possessing the most rare and sought after of all Quirk types, a warping Quirk, specifically Warp Gate.

His real face and body structure are unknown as the purple mist created by his Quirk never leaves his body."

A picture of Kurogiri appears, bound from head to toe in metal restraints, the purple mist seeping through the gaps in the metal.

"Guess he needs to move his body to activate Warp Gate," Horizon can't help but smile at that, another way Hand Of God is better.

Law looks genuinely confused at that, "why didn't they just wait and attack UA again? That doesn't make much sense..."

"It seems that the villains care about more than just killing our Symbol Of Peace," the man says bitterly. "They want to destroy all our hopes and dreams, to eradicate our guardians and the great places we've dedicated to training and raising them. They want to kill all heroes, and yes, they are certainly a fearsome foe..."

The man's expression shifts from sad and somber to determined, almost angry as his flowing water hair begins swirling and bubbling.

"But we won't break that easily!" he yells out, raising a fist to the sky, a fanatical tinge in his voice. "UA and their first years of class 1A have proven that these villains can be defeated! So I'm sure that the Pros will capture them, and if they ever have the chance to come face to face with All Might, he'll Smash them into pieces and lock them in Tartarus with no issue, as he always does to the scum that threatens the safety of our beloved country!"

The man tries to catch his breath from his rant that Law would bet surely inspired the masses.

"Well shit," Law chuckles. "That worked a whole lot better than expected...and Nezu really went above and beyond with that picture of Nomu's defeat," Law takes out his phone and sees Horizon's Follower count steadily marching toward 3 Million, sitting at half that number when he sat down to eat. "Heroes live and die by popularity and public opinion, so I'll be living very well."

The man finally composes himself, his hair returning to gently flowing streams, "however, unfortunately not everyone shares these hopeful views. Public outrage and scrutiny at the security and conduct at the attacked Hero Courses have never been higher," pictures of protests and borderline riots appear on the screen.

Law rolls his eyes, "scared people not sure what to do when their heroes start seemingly failing, not surprising at all since most of them probably can't even fight some Quirkless brat with a knife."

The screen then has a picture of crowds holding candles and placing flowers at the gates of multiple Hero Course schools. "Others have come out in force to share their sympathy for the lives lost because of these villains and their monsters. And some are even questioning the capability of the Pros at the affected schools, with good reason of course. And a vocal few are calling for All Might to stop teaching and resume his patrols, equating this attack to his lack of presence on the streets."

"Bullshit, he's always ditching school to babysit you useless fucks," Law grumbles, now finishing up his meal and moving to do the dishes.

"But no matter the outcome, one thing is clear," the news anchor says. "These villains have declared war on all heroes, no matter if you are training or a fully licensed Pro, and I know our heroes won't let this stand, so if the League Of Villains is watching this, my message to you is, 'Enjoy these last few days of freedom, because they're quickly counting down...,' now onto other news, Hawks---"

Law cuts off the TV immediately.

"A war on Heroes," he considers it for a moment. "Well, wars need War Heroes on both sides... guess I've found another easy way to climb the ranks, now I should call Nezu and thank him for the popularity boost...
