Chapter 197 - Chapter 197: Death Sentence  

Inside "Quirk" Prison, the most heavily guarded prison in all of Japan, Midoriya Izuku is currently being held. 

After being severely injured by the combined attack of All Might and Togata Mirio, Midoriya was knocked out on the spot without any resistance. Kurogiri and Midoriya were then handed over to the police and sent to "Quirk" Prison under strict supervision. 

All Might and Togata Mirio have temporarily withdrawn from all other duties and are stationed inside the prison to prevent All For One from attempting a prison break. 

The chaos surrounding Midoriya Izuku's capture has completely overshadowed Shigaraki Tomura's previous actions. Now broken and in shock, Shigaraki has been sent to a hospital for recovery. It will likely take him some time to process the fact that All For One has abandoned him. 

Shigaraki Tomura is currently under the supervision of Gran Torino, an old friend of All Might's teacher, Shimura Nana. All Might hopes that the old man can bring Shigaraki back to the right path. 

Now, let's talk about how "Quirk" Prison operates. This place holds Japan's most dangerous criminals. Inmates are controlled using "Quirk" suppressors and medication, meaning they are routinely sedated to keep them in check. 

Every cell is equipped with automated machine guns controlled by a central computer. Prisoners wear specially designed restraining suits embedded with tracking chips. The moment they even think about activating their Quirks, the suit injects them with a lethal neurotoxin, and the machine guns immediately fire. 

This level of security is reserved for the most dangerous criminals, like "Butcher" and "Moonfish," who have a history of escaping. And right now… Midoriya Izuku is being treated with the same extreme measures. 

Escape equals death. There's no other option. 

But it has to be this way… because he is now Japan's most wanted criminal. A political prisoner is treated even more harshly than a murderer. 

All Might and Togata Mirio will remain in "Quirk" Prison until the Supreme Court of Japan delivers its final verdict on Midoriya. During this time, they must stay on guard in case All For One makes a move. 

Midoriya Izuku's capture has shaken the entire country. The news has sparked massive debates and protests, and the government has responded quickly with a final decision. 

—————————————— 

Inside U.A. High School's Class 1-A, Takeyama Urei's phone slipped from her hands and crashed onto the floor. Her heart nearly stopped from the terrifying news. 

"Death... death sentence!?" 

"You've gotta be kidding me!!" 

Bakugo Katsuki slammed his fist into the desk, shattering it into pieces. His eyes were burning with rage. What the hell kind of ruling was this from the Japanese government?! 

"Uraraka! Uraraka!!" 

Meanwhile, Uraraka Ochako had fainted upon seeing the news. It was too much for her brain to process all at once. 

The Japanese government had delivered its final ruling: 

Midoriya Izuku was sentenced to death for crimes including disrupting social order and destroying the legal system. The execution was set to take place soon. 

The entire nation erupted. Citizens flooded the streets with banners, marching in protest. The police and heroes were completely overwhelmed by the riots, and more and more people kept joining in. 

Their goal was obvious. 

"We have to break him out!!" 

The moment those words left Takeyama Urei's mouth, Aizawa Shouta's capture scarf wrapped tightly around her. Their homeroom teacher had rushed back to the classroom the second he saw the news. 

"Don't do anything reckless. Think about your families. If you act on impulse, what will happen to them?" 

Aizawa's words made the furious Class 1-A students go silent. No matter how badly they wanted to save Midoriya, they couldn't just throw everything away and become criminals. If they tried to break him out, they'd be labeled as traitors. Their families still had to live in this society. 

"I don't care about any of that! That guy… he can't just die like this!!" 

Bakugo Katsuki's rage was about to explode. Takeyama Urei's words had lit a fire in him, and Aizawa's warning meant nothing to him. Their teacher could only sigh helplessly. 

"Listen up. Midoriya's execution is just a cover." 

"What?!" 

Class 1-A was stunned. Aizawa's expression remained serious as he slowly explained: 

"This is a trap to lure out the true mastermind behind the League of Villains. Think about it—many criminals have committed murder, yet they weren't sentenced to death. Do you really think Midoriya's crimes alone justify an execution?" 

"So now that you know… don't let this information leak out. This is an extremely important operation." 

"I see! I'm really sorry, Aizawa-sensei! I'll make sure to keep everyone calm!" 

Iida Tenya immediately stepped forward, taking responsibility for the class. Aizawa turned his head to the side… 

He had just lied to them. 

The truth was that the Japanese government would never allow someone like Midoriya Izuku—someone capable of overthrowing the government—to remain alive. 

Yes, this was a trap to lure out All For One. 

But whether or not the League of Villains came… 

Midoriya's execution would still happen. 

That was an undeniable fact.

But to stop the students from acting recklessly, Aizawa Shouta, as their homeroom teacher, had no choice but to tell them a lie that was just convincing enough. If they actually went through with something irreversible, it would be a disaster. 

At that moment, Shinso Hitoshi happened to pass by Class A's entrance. He glanced at Aizawa Shouta before walking away. What the homeroom teacher of Class A said had nothing to do with someone from Class B like him. 

Meanwhile, in the Support Department building, the news of Midoriya Izuku's death sentence was spreading like wildfire. 

"Midoriya-chan…" 

Seeing what was happening, Hatsume Mei turned and rushed to her vault to retrieve something. The item Midoriya Izuku had entrusted to her… it was time for it to serve its purpose. 

"You really have me surrounded from all sides… Should I say you're too confident? Or just too naive?" 

All For One had a terrifying smile on his face. Of course, he was going to save Midoriya Izuku—after all, he was the most promising successor. Now that he had fully matured, it was time to pass everything on to him. 

"Well then, let's begin."
