Chapter 245

Rise to Action is the two hundred forty-fifth chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia.

Summary
Endeavor notice that there is something feels off about Hawks's expression while he is offering to him the Meta Liberation War. Hawks gives him the book asking him to make sure he reads it well.

Seeing how Japan's No. 2 hero recommends the book, Izuku expresses his desire to read it too, thinking he could discover the secret of his speed. Upon hearing him, Hawks gives him, Shoto and Katsuki extra copies that he carried with him. Izuku comments that it’s like he is spreading a gospel, to which Hawks replies that it is a fairly accurate comparison since he had already recommended the book to friends, colleagues and other heroes.

Before leaving, Hawks recommends Endeavor to give at least a glance over the sections he marked, saying that's his second recommendation in so many words. Izuku and Shoto are impressed despite being only 22, Hawks has a very different perspective than them. To Katsuki, however, Hawks ticks him off.

Once Izuku, Shoto, and Katsuki enter the headquarters of Endeavor Hero Agency, they met several of Endeavor's Sidekicks, who give them a hot welcome. One of them, Burnin, starts talking about the amount of work the old sidekick face and tells the students that they are going to work very soon, and then tells Shoto to doesn't think he'll geat any special treatment just because he is Endeavor son. Deku notices that the place is busy, and one of the sidekicks explains that's because they handle over 100 requests every day. Katsuki wants to start now, but the sidekick tells that they have to wait for Endeavor's orders.

In his office, Endeavor takes a look at the book while he thinks about his encounter with Hawks. he knows that Hawks usually has an easy-going and relaxed personality as if he did not take anything seriously, but when he gave him the book, Hawks presented an extremely serious face, something very unusual for him. Knowing there is something strange, he decides to read the highlighted sections, and soon deduces that when Hawks told him that "was his second recommendation in so many words", it was actually a cryptic advise to read the second words of each in each marked section. He finds out that the words are connected, forming a warning message.

Meanwhile, Hawks flies back to the base of the Paranormal Liberation Front, thinking if Endeavor has managed to get his message. Hawks laments that he has to do things so convoluted to warn Endeavor about the menace that the PLF represents and their plans, but he has no other choice because there are numerous heroes allied with the criminal organization, and his wings are full of Skeptic's spying devices.

Once at the base, Hawks reunites with the lieutenants of the PLF in the meeting room to report. Hawks informs them that he has been spreading the ideology of liberation. He also tells them that the commission still believes that the League of Villains consists of just few members in hiding, and they still haven't noticed the Liberation Army. Similarly, they are still investigating what happened in Deika City, but army soldiers are doing a good job hiding the truth. Finally, he informs that the training of the next generation has begun.
