Chapter 146

Temp Squad (出向) is the one hundred and forty-sixth chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia.

Summary
Fatgum delivers a great punch which not only pierces through Tengai's barrier with ease but also smashes Rappa and Tengai into the wall, badly injuring them. Fatgum immediately checks on Eijiro who is barely conscious and still trying to act tough. Fatgum remembers the first time he met Eijiro which was at his Hero Office where Eijiro told him that he wants to be a Hero at the front lines and save peoples lives like Crimson Riot. Fatgum is surprised at Eijiro's determination. Surprisingly, Rappa managed to survive Fatgum powerful punch and is standing; Fatgum is shocked by this and is unable to do anything due to using up all his Quirk's fat.

In a twist of events, Rappa tells Fatgum that there are first aid supplies in a nearby room and tells him to treat Eijiro's wounds while referring him to as a man. Fatgum doesn't believe Rappa, only for Rappa to convince Fatgum that he isn't the lying type. Tengai, who is also still conscious but badly injured and unable to move, criticizes Rappa for his selfishness since it is his duty to put him in line and questions Rappa about his own duty. However, Rappa knocks out Tengai with a kick to the face who notes that he doesn't have any strength left to make barriers while commenting about his own injuries, being unable to lift up his arms due to his bones being broken. Fatgum asks about Rappa's goal, to which Rappa reveals that he came from an underground fight club where he could go all out but all his opponents were unable to take his strength and he beat them easily, causing him to crave life threatening battles. Rappa is very happy that Fatgum and Eijiro quenched his thirst and gave him such a life threatening battle. Because they satisfied him, Rappa has taken a personal interest in Eijiro and Fatgum which is why he is helping them out. Rappa tells them to use the first aid supplies so that next time he can battle them again with their lives on the line. Fatgum warns Rappa that he will be arrested, but Rappa refutes Fatgum's claims. Fatgum ponders about Rappa and sees that he doesn't have any ulterior motives. Fatgum lookes at Eijiro and knows for a fact that he is no longer the pathetic boy he claimed to be nor just a Hero but a true man, acknowledged even by an enemy.

In the first aid room, Fatgum has bandaged the injured and unconscious Eijiro, managing to stop his bleeding. Seeing that they are opening up to each other even though they are on opposing sides, Fatgum asks Rappa why he joined Chisaki's group. Rappa reveals that Chisaki is the only man he has ever lost to; one day out of nowhere in the underground fight club, Chisaki appeared and challenged him. However, Rappa died due to Chisaki's Quirk, but was brought back to normal after being defeated. Rappa has challenged Chisaki five times and has lost to him five times. Fatgum is shocked that Chisaki was able to take on Rappa's physical strength and speed with no problem. Fatgum wonders why Chisaki doesn't fight himself and asks Rappa about Chisaki's goal. Rappa tells Fatgum that Chisaki wishes to reinstate the yakuza, which caused a tied up Tengai to berate Rappa for revealing such confidential information. Although he doesn't know the full details, Rappa states that Chisaki is going to spread "something" and needs a lot of money for it; if he gets enough money, Chisaki's plan will be right around the corner.

In the basement right before the Heroes' invasion began, Chisaki is annoyed by the noise the Heroes are causing while Chronostasis who has Eri in his arms, is worried that the Eight Precepts of Death could come to an end. Chisaki refutes Chronostasis's claims because as long as he and the boss are around they will definitely survive. Most of the Eight Precepts of Death follow their boss's ideals and won't follow him even though he values the boss's will the most out of all of them. Chisaki has black containers in his hand, stating that with the finished product and serum, the Eight Precepts of Death will make a comeback. The incident Chisaki's plan will cause will make the Heroes suffer gravely and many top investors in the underground will come running to them with loads of cash.

As he and Chronostasis walk though the basement, Chisaki tells the transfers to get to work. The transfers Chisaki and Chronostasis pass by are Himiko Toga and Twice. Himiko and Twice tell Chisaki to leave the Heroes to them.
