It turned out that in Weiss' haste to find her friends, she accidentally ignored most of UA's faculty who had arrived as reinforcements. From what Weiss heard, they managed to round up the rest of the thugs and villains that were still roaming the USJ rather efficiently. The paramedics had arrived with a police escort, along with several buses to transport the captured criminals. After gathering the rest of the class by the main entrance, a familiar detective in a trench coat walked up to them.

"Nobody move so I can count. We need to make sure that everyone is accounted for." Detective Tsukauchi said. Another officer stood next to him, one with the head of a cat, he was so cute. Weiss found herself sandwiched by Kyouka and Mina, the two girls wrapping their arms around the shorter Idol.

"I can't believe that they were already friends." Hagakure whispered excitedly. Yaoyorozu nodded in agreement, a small smile on her face. Weiss ignored their conversation. She was just happy that her friends were safe and sound. A few more cots covered by black tarps were loaded onto several ambulances.

"...seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty." Detective Tsukauchi said, closing his notebook. He gave Weiss a discreet nod, earning him a small smile in return. It had been a while since she last saw the busy detective. He gave her outfit a glance, and his eyes turned to the ambulances which had been loaded with the tarp covered cots. She spotted a few of the criminals that had attacked her being treated by the paramedics, with Midnight the Rated R hero keeping an eye on them, with some help from a few officers.

"Weiss, what did you mean when you said that the blood isn't yours?" Mina whispered. Kyouka most likely heard it thanks to her quirk.

"Exactly what you think I said. Myrtenaster isn't just for show, you know." Weiss whispered back. Mina's and Kyouka's eyes widened in shock. "They were planning on killing me, so I defended myself. One of them even had one of my shirts, covered in red paint or blood. Who knew what they were planning on doing to me if I let them?"

The two girls remained silent, their only response the tightening of their grip on Weiss' arms and shoulders. Everyone else had gathered back into their smaller groups, with most of them giving Weiss a wide berth. Midoriya and Todoroki still kept giving her glances that made her feel uncomfortable. Mineta stood several feet away, waiting for her to acknowledge him.

Detective Tsukauchi spoke up again. "We're going to have you all return to your classroom for now. We'll be questioning you individually at a later time." The officer next to him nodded.

Asui hopped up to the detective. "Detective, how is Mr. Aizawa?" As much as Weiss disliked the man, he ddi risk his life fighting those criminals. He did well until Nomu stepped in.

"He has a fracture in his right arm and a facial fracture from what I've heard." Detective Tsukauchi scratched the back of his head. "Thankfully, I was told he didn't suffer any brain damage."

That was good.

"However, his orbital floor was damaged, so his eyes may struggle with its aftereffects." He pulled out his phone. "That's according to the nurses with him."

Now that wasn't good, especially because of his quirk.

Mina spoke up this time. "And how's Thirteen?" Apparently, Mina was there when the Space Hero was injured when the mist villain redirected some of her attacks.

"Thirteen suffered some pretty bad lacerations on her back, but she'll survive."

That caused half of the class to release a sigh of relief.

"All Might is also doing well. Thanks to some assistance, he didn't suffer any major injuries." Detective Tsukauchi closed the notebook he had opened while he was speaking. Midoriya seemed like he was on the verge of becoming a water fountain. "Officer Sansa, could you please escort them back to their classroom? My job here isn't done yet."

The cat officer gave him a salute with a serious look on their face. Weiss bit her bottom lip. Blake would have fit in perfectly here. Yang would have been able to steamroll anyone and anything. And Ruby…was the ideal model of a hero. Weiss was just a failure, but at least nobody was hurt. Kyouka and Mina were safe, and no one had any major injuries.

That still didn't stop the pit in her stomach from growing.

"Evening Principal Nezu." Detective Tsukauchi said. Today was going to be a very long day, with plenty of paperwork waiting for him back at the station. The Principal of UA Highschool was standing near the water fountain of the USJ, along with several other Pro-heroes that served as teachers. Tsukauchi approached with another officer next to him.

"Detective Tsukauchi! Still using the conditioner I recommended?" Principal Nezu said cheerfully, which looked out of place among the ravaged training grounds.

"Of course. My hair has never been as soft." Tsukauchi said with a small smile. His face quickly turned serious. "I hope you don't mind, but I would like to have some of my men search the school, just in case there are any villains waiting in ambush."

Nezu nodded. "Of course. The safety of my students should be our top priority."

"Thank you." Tsukauchi motioned the officer away, who gave him a salute and marched off.

"And, I'm sure some of us would appreciate it if certain details were kept out of the public's eye." Principal Nezu said. The teachers with him departed, with only Cementoss and Present Mic remaining with him.

"Regarding Nomu? Consider it done." Tsukauchi already knew what else he was going to ask.

"And regarding who dealt the final blows to these villains. I'm sure the media would love such a story! The famous Idol singer, Weiss Schnee, kills villains in self defense with a sword." Principal's Nezu's words were serious, but his face and voice remained cheerful.

"I'm sure they would enjoy that, but we shall have to see what the morticians say." Tsukauchi already planned on making the paramedics sign NDA's, and all of the officers at his station were good men. He didn't need people digging into Schnee's background, the poor girl already suffered enough. "I'll see what I can do. Still, people are dead. Who's going to take responsibility for this?" The main problem would be keeping the surviving criminals silent.

"Miss Schnee shall be punished of course. She did act in self defense, but killing is never the answer, unless there are no alternatives." The Principal said. "Mandatory therapy should be sufficient, don't you believe?"

"You're the principal, not me." Tsukauchi shrugged. She had suggested to Mt. Lady that Weiss should take some form of therapy. The white haired girl probably rejected the idea, so now here they were. Four dead criminals, and two dozen more in critical conditions from being frozen too long.

"I must go now." Principal Nezu said suddenly. He turned to Cementoss. "I shall leave the rest to you all. I'll see you tomorrow at school! Don't be late! Thank you Detective!" He waved as he started to walk away.

Well, Tsukauchi wished he could say this was the weirdest day he ever had.

A/N
Shorter than usual, but still important. I was correct that adding in a certain someone would be controversial! I will say this here, No, I'm not planning on bringing anyone else back, and adding Roman is not a choice that I take lightly. He's not going to be your stereotypical

"Muahahaha I'm part of the League of Villains now even though I died because of a big bad conspiracy before."

No spoilers, but I promise he will be entertaining.

One last thing, a thank you to everyone who has been adding to the TV tropes page! Y'all are great and I love seeing whats been added.
