Summary
The two visitors meet with Tomura face to face. However, Tomura isn't pleased with his visitors due to them seemingly being types he despises the most and orders Black Mist to send them away. Black Mist asks Tomura to be patient and listen to what the visitors have to say because they were scouted by the broker who produces quality results. The broker tells Black Mist that he wants his service charge one way or another; the broker also agrees with Black Mist about letting the visitors have a chance to introduce themselves. The broker tells Tomura that the girl is a suspect on the run for serial blood draining murders. The girl introduces herself as Toga Himiko and explains that life is difficult and as a result, she desires to make the world an easier place to live in. Toga wants to become someone great like Stain and excitedly pleads Tomura to let her join. Tomura is unimpressed with Toga. The broker introduces the boy as someone who hasn't committed any great crimes but believes in the Hero Killer's ideals. Instead of introducing himself, the boy wonders if the Villain Alliance actually follows a cause; Tomura is taken aback by the boy's lack of manners. The boy tells Tomura he goes by Dabi and will reveal his real name when he needs to; Dabi explains that he will be the one to fulfill the Hero Killer's ideals.

Tomura becomes angry about Toga and Dabi constantly talking about Stain, finding them to be no good and prepares to attack the boy and girl; Toga and Dabi also prepare to defend themselves. As the three clash, Black Mist uses his mist to warp Dabi, Toga and Tomura's attacks away from each other, which stops a potential fight. Black Mist tells Tomura that expanding the Villain Alliance is necessary in order to achieve his wishes, now that the spotlight is on the Villain Alliance and asks Tomura to not reject Dabi and Toga's help. Black Mist reminds Tomura that if he doesn't make use of Dabi and Toga then everything left to them will disappear. Understanding Black Mist, Tomura storms out of the room in silence. The broker comments about Tomura being too young; Black Mist asks the broker to wait a few days for their reply regarding Dabi and Toga's registration into the Villain's Alliance; Black Mist comments that Tomura understands what needs to be done and he is sure Tomura will understandingly accept Dabi and Toga.
