Chapter 323: One step
Before going to look for Deku, the Class A students talk to Nezu about
the barrier at the academy, as it is important to show everyone that it
is very effective. However, Iida mentions that if they manage to bring
Deku peacefully, then it will be more than enough to calm the civilians.
Hearing that, Nezu tells him that he disagrees, as it won't be enough.
He also mentions that Deku is the heroes' trump card, so it is important
to protect him in a good barrier.
This whole protection system increased after the incident that happened
in Tartarus Prison, as Nezu took it upon himself to improve the security
systems, making the academy move now.
And not only that, now the academy is divided into smaller zones, where
each of them are connected to various motorized transport devices. All
this is protected by a sensor that detects the slightest movement,
because if an invasion were to be detected, all the zones would be
transported to a subway area, which is connected to various routes in
the country.
At that moment, Kaminari interrupts Nezu's explanation and mentions
that all this seems to be taken out of some robot fiction.
Nezu then goes on to explain the security implementations he made,
where one of them is that the subsoil surrounding the entire academy
has been covered by three thousand layers of metal plates, which will
detect any anomaly, and then activate the security systems.
In addition, the plates also serve to delay the villains, giving
civilians time to evacuate to subway shelters. Likewise, other
academies have also improved their security systems and created subway
routes.
Hearing that, Tokoyami comments that the director has really prepared
for everything, as the metal plates are a good way to stop Shigaraki's
Decay. He also mentions with some humor that the director likes to
spend money, but that it's okay, as those kinds of precautions will be
very important in the future.
Back to the present, many civilians do not agree with Deku's return.
And among the crowd, Deku's mom and the other parents of the students
can be seen.
Then number 13 comments that the vast majority were not convinced by
Nezu's speech.
It is at that moment when Best Jeanist intervenes and starts talking
to the civilians to explain that they used Deku as bait to lure the
villains, but still to no avail. He also tells them that Deku is the
best weapon the heroes have. So he asks them to let him in, since
that's the best they can do.
At that instant, the civilians get even angrier, saying that the
heroes have failed again and that, because of that, now they have to
take the risk of being attacked.
And as the civilians continue to shout, Uraraka grabs Mic's megaphone
and uses her quirk on herself to float above the protesters and head
towards the roof of the academy.
In this way, Uraraka begins to give her speech, mentioning that Deku
has a very special power, when suddenly the civilians interrupt her,
telling her that for that reason he must leave the academy. However,
Uraraka tells them that it was precisely for that reason that Deku
had left, desperately moving away from everyone.
At that moment, Uraraka asks the civilians to look at Deku's
appearance. And upon seeing him, some civilians get scared.
Then Uraraka mentions that Deku really wants to change things, and
for that reason he kept moving just for the sake of others.
Suddenly, a woman, who had previously been saved by Deku, intervenes
and mentions that she gives her support for Deku to stay.
Gradually, the civilians begin to accept Deku. And seeing that, Nezu
says to himself that sometimes taking the first step is very
difficult. At the same time, he thinks that Deku will become a hero
that even surpasses All Might.
