Kaminari, who was mowing through the Bck Tiger Gang with uing precision, had no idea how many eyes were focused on him at that moment, nor hons were bei into motion.
Even if he had known, it wouldn't have mattered. His personality was such that he never regretted his decisions, even if they cost him dearly.
"If you dare to harm my family, then you'd better be ready to pay with your life!"
Kaminari, his body engulfed in goldericity, stood in the ter of the age. Blood staihe ground, and the corpses around him painted a chilling picture. His cold gaze locked onto Nichos Fu.
"Guji."
Nichos Fu swallowed nervously, his eyes darting to the scattered bodies of his gang members. When his gaze finally nded on the lifeless body of Bck on, his heart sank.
Uhe disposable underlings he brought along, Bck on had been a trusted ally. Together, they had escaped the Filipino mafia and built the Bck Tiger Gang from scratch. Bck on wasn't just a subordinate, he was sed-in-and and one of Fu's few true rades.
And now, that loyal panion y dead on the ground.
"Is this some kind of sick joke?" Nichos Fu muttered to himself. "How is this kid s? He's not even an adult!"
For the first time in years, Fu felt fear. His earlier bravado was gone, repced by an awkward, desperate smile.
"Well… look, 't we talk this out?" Fu stammered, raising his hands slightly in a pg gesture. "Your father's fine, and you've already taken out so many of my guys. Isn't that enough?"
He forced a chuckle. "You know killing is illegal, right? If you kill me, yoing to jail for a long, long time!"
"Are those your st words?" Kaminari asked coldly. "I already told you: you're all going to die today."
Before Fu could respond, Kaminari shot forward in a streak of golden light, Raikiri crag ominously in his hand.
"I won't die here! If anyone's dying today, it's you!" Fu roared. Seeing that iations had failed, he decided to fight to the bitter end.
With a powerful spring-loaded leap, Fu unched himself forward. "Bck Tiger's Heartbreaker!" he yelled, his cws aiming for Kaminari's chest.
"Roar!!!"

Five mier, silence fell over the golden dome. The only sound came from the faint wailing of sirens outside. Ihe air was thick with the stench of blood.
"It's time to think about what es ," Kaminari murmured. He stood over Fu's lifeless body, his golden aura now dimmed, his expression bnk.
Fourteen people dead. By using his Quirk to kill, Kaminari had itted what the w sidered a heinous crime.
Even as a minor under sixteen, he khere would be sequences. While the death penalty was off the table, years in prison were almost certain.
Now, he faced a critical choice, ohat would shape the rest of his life. Should he stay and face the sequences, or flee and abandohing?
With his speed, enhanced by his High Voltage Electric Mode, esg was entirely possible. The polid Heroes outside wouldn't be able to stop him.
"Son... son, you o leave!" Kaminari's father said urgently, gripping his son's shoulders. "Get as far away as you ! If you ever need help, find a way to tact me. I'll do whatever it takes!"
"I was thinking the same…" Kaminari began.
"Pika!"
Before he could finish, Pikachu raced over a onto his shoulder. Its blue eyes glowed brightly, projeg three ining call notifications in midair.
"It seems like everyone's aware of the situation," Kaminari remarked with a wry smile. "Might as well take the calls. Maybe things will ge."
Despite the gravity of the moment, his voice remained calm, his expression rexed. It wasn't arroga was the fidence born from years of releraining and preparation.

"Kaminari-kun!" Nezu's voice came through.
"Kaminari, are you okay?!" Momo's worried tone followed.
"Kid, you've really outdone yourself this time. Incredible," Mitsui Buntais said with a teasing chuckle.
Kaminari greeted the three callers but looked at Mitsui Buntais with some fusion. "Old man, what's this about? Why are you getting involved?"
Although Kaminari had once saved Mitsui's life, the man had repaid that debt with the gift of Pikachu. As far as Kaminari was ed, they were even.
"Why? Is it se for me to lend a hand? Don't fet, you called me 'old man' a few times. I've grown fond of you, boy," Mitsui replied with a calm smile.
"This… old man, I don't even know how to respond." Kaminari shook his head, smiling bitterly.
"You don't o say anything. Just listen."

After Mitsui's brief interje, Nezu's voice took over. "Kaminari, I won't lie to you. You've itted a serious crime. But that doesn't mean this is the end."
"Oh?" Kaminari raised an eyebrow. "What's the pn, Principal?"
"It's a long expnation, but the gist is that you don't o do much. Just follow my instrus."
"First, don't run. If you flee, everything we're doing will be pointless.
"Sed, never admit that you killed ahose deaths might not be attributed to you in the end.
"Third, as of yesterday, you've officially bee an on-staff teacher at U.A. High School. You'll assist the Hero Department with Quirk development training."
"What?!"
The Principal's annou left Kaminari, his father, and Snatch stunned.
"Mr. Principal, Kaminari isn't even an adult yet! How he possibly be a teacher at U.A.?" Kaminari's father protested. "And he doesn't have a teag certificate!"
"That may be true, but this is an internal matter for our school. U.A. hire whomever it deems fit as a teacher. ernal authority has the right to interfere," Nezu said fidently.
Though Japanese w valued education highly, the she of qualified teachers allowed for certain exceptions. Schools could hire unlised teachers at their discretion, provided they met internal standards.
"But why make me a teacher?" Kaminari asked, still baffled.
This time, Momo chimed in. "Because once you're officially a U.A. teacher, this matter won't just involve you—it'll involve the entire school."
"The pressure on you will be shared with U.A. High School," she expined. "This will make it easier for us to navigate the fallout and take a."
