Purple Revolution Agency vs. Robber Villain was a battle between Pro Hero His Purple Highness and his trainees, Midnight, Eraser Head, and Loud Cloud against the Robber Villain.
Prologue#
Following the recommendation of Nemuri, Shota Aizawa and Oboro Shirakumo decide to do their work-studies at Purple Revolution Agency. Led by His Purple Highness, the three students form the Team Purple Revolution, to perform their hero duties.
His first operation as heroes takes place in an investment office on the third floor of an office building located on golden street, in Tamoyisa Ward. There, the Robber Villain is ransacking the place after handling the employees of the office. However, without him knowing it, one of them had managed to give the alarm to the authorities, so they arrived before what the thief had expected.
To stop him, Nemuri and Oboro decide to storm the building, while Eraser Head and Purple wait outside.[1]
Battle#
The Robber Villain hears the loudening police sirens and curses that the police is already there. The criminal starts to angrily interrogate the hostages who is the one who called this in. Before he can harm anyone, Nemuri enters the building breaking the window and orders him to halt, being closely followed by Oboro. Both are presented to the villain as the team Purple Revolution. The villain curses that not only the police intervene, but also the heroes.
Angry at their interference and not wanting to waste time facing the heroes-in-training, the Robber Villain throws an entire office setup at the two students. Although Nemuri and Oboro easily parry the flying objects, the criminal uses his Quirk to expels large amounts of smoke through the holes in his body, blocking their sight and irritating their eyes.
The villain takes advantage of the distraction he created and jumps through the window, taking with him the bag of money and the office’s safe. Once he lands on the street and he attempts to escape on foot.
After the smoke dispersed, Oboro creates a cloud and hops on it in preparation to go after the Robber Villain, but Nemuri recommends not doing so, as far as they know, the smoke generated by the villain could be toxic, so the best option at that time is to help the hostages evacuate. Oboro acknowledges that she is right and tells Shota through his earpiece to go after the Smoke Villain in their stead.
Shota goes out in pursuit of the criminal, and when he is about to reach him, he uses his Capturing Weapon, binding the thief's left arm. However, the villain is not willing to get caught, and quickly aims at Shota with the antenna of his head and shoots a thick layer of smoke.
With smoke blocking his line of sight and irritating his eyes, Shota can't use his Erasure, so he tries to step back, but he realizes too late that the criminal has violently throwed the safe at him, with the intention of getting rid of him.
Fortunately for Shota, His Purple Highness appears and deflects the improvised projectile with a kick, sending the safe into the air, warning the villain that he would pay dearly if he did the slightest harm to one of his protégés. Not wanting to face a professional hero, the Robber Villain4 runs away taking the rest of the booty with him, generating more smoke to cover his escape.
As police cars begin to chase him down, His Purple Highness tells Shota to halt, explaining that it's the Police Force's problem now, and that they should head back to the office building.[1]
Aftermath#
Although the villain managed to flee away with a good amount of money, His Purple Highness praises Nemuri and Oboro their quick-witted thinking, prioritizing helping the hostages than fight and achieve the victory over the villain. However, he criticizes Shota, but not because his poor performance allowed the villain to run away but for trying to be a hero with a grim and gloomy presence. His Purple Highness advises Shota to trust his own power and smile, if he wants to transmit confidence and hope to folks in trouble.
After this, the group returns to the Purple Revolution Agency to rest and recover.[1]
