After the fiasco at the court, things were slowly returning to normal. Eri was glad to see me back, and Clara had rested enough that she looked much better than she had when I returned. We all took a personal holiday for a week. We didn't go anywhere—just stayed inside the house and had some normal fun. After that, I had to make sure Eri got into a good preschool. Even though she was smart enough to be homeschooled, Clara and I decided it was better for her to experience life within society.
Clara was the heiress to one of the most powerful business empires on the planet. And I possessed one of the most powerful quirks—one coveted by one of the most dangerous criminals to ever exist since the dawn of quirks. So neither of us had anything resembling a normal childhood, especially considering the fact that Clara was mentally an adult as a child, and I was a 16-year-old soul with my memories trapped in the body of an 8-year-old.
Both of us had been homeschooled. Clara eventually took charge of her family's company at a young age, while I, Inazuma, took up the mantle of a hero around the same time. Eri had suffered a lot of trauma from the torture inflicted by Chisaki, which made her introverted and initially resistant to meeting new people. But now, she had recovered enough to interact with others.
So, we planned and succeeded in finding her a good preschool—one she herself agreed to join. And with her powers finally under control, she was now safe to be around others without causing any problems.
After that, I started browsing through public posts to understand the impact of everything that had happened in the past week. Let's just say... the canon had changed—subtly, but significantly.
Garaki's experiments had been made public, revealing that he had been stealing quirk factors from children. However, since there was no immediate way to return those quirks, the case was still under investigation.
Maybe Eri can help with this, Inazuma thought, though she'll need some training first.
It also appeared that All Might had received a statue this time as well. Even though he hadn't won, he had ensured the safety of everyone around him during the battle. Experts speculated that he could have won had he ignored those people, but the fact that he didn't earned him even greater admiration. The enemy had clearly aimed to kill All Might, while All Might had focused solely on saving lives.
The statue that was supposed to be placed at the center of the battlefield had been erected again. The iconic All Might stance was clearly depicted. But this time, there was a difference from the original canon—another statue had been added, back-to-back with All Might's.
Inazuma was surprised to find that it was a statue of himself, erected alongside All Might's. The plaque stated that it honoured the two heroes who had sacrificed their careers to life threatening wounds to save society during the villain attack.
All Might was still known as the Symbol of Peace, while Inazuma had gained the title Monarch of Motion. He had no idea who coined that title in this dimension in the internet, but he didn't mind. Since returning, his speed had increased so drastically that he was fairly certain he could travel through time if he wanted to. But after witnessing the Flashpoint paradox in his previous life, he had decided against it. He didn't want to overcomplicate a world that was finally moving toward peace.
From what he remembered, only two major events remained unresolved: the fake All Might incident, and something about Deku being charged with murder. But he was confident that the current generation of kids—more motivated than ever—would be able to handle it.
"I'll be out to finish up a few things," Inazuma said as he stood up.
"Okay, but be sure to be back by dinnertime," Clara replied from the kitchen, where she and Eri were having fun.
Inazuma smiled at the scene and picked up a high-tech camouflage suit from his room's cupboard. Since he was now operating from the shadows, Clara had designed a suit that blended into the surroundings by making sure it was filled with tough malleable screens all around it, it was also fitted with high speed cameras able to adapt to the speeds I am able to go to. Even though it won't be able to handle my full potential, it still would be able to handle a level of speed where the thugs I am taking out won't be able to notice at all. The only reason it wasn't mass-produced was due to energy efficiency—the batteries required would be too heavy. But Clara had redesigned it to absorb the excess energy Inazuma emitted, even recycling the sparks he left behind while running, making him nearly invisible.
He had considered giving the suit to Kaminari, but until the guy matured enough to realize he was in love with Jiro—and stopped his perverted antics—it was hard to trust him with it.
Inazuma put on the suit and began running toward a special U.A. facility, where he had quietly detained the League of Villains members away from public knowledge. He noted Spinner's absence, but had later discovered that Spinner had joined the vigilantes instead of the villains—impacted by the speech Inazuma had made while confronting Stain. It had changed him in this timeline.
Apparently, Gentle Criminal had experienced a similar change and had turned to vigilantism. Inazuma hoped his journey turned out as positively as it had in the original timeline.
Kurogiri was undergoing strict psychological care and therapy. After All For One's death and the collapse of his cybernetics, the damages accumulated enough to weaken the Kurogiri personality and allow Aizawa's friend to resurface.
Everyone was moving forward in one way or another. And it was time for Inazuma to make sure the rest of them did too.
