[No One Pov]

The situation at UA was getting worse and worse for them as the days went on.

To begin with, the teams that were sent to save the Menagerie with Pandora have returned.

As a result, the teams reported what they had experienced during the mission.

After that, they told the headmasters what Jason had said.

It was clear to the headmasters now that bringing Jason back was an impossibility.

Upon hearing what Jason thinks about UA and Heroes in General, they were shocked by what he said.

The reality hit them hard, and they were shaken to the core.

As far as UA and heroes are concerned, Jason could not be more right. They are self-oriented and don't care about anything but themselves.

There have been countless instances where citizens have been put in danger as a result of their greed for money, fame and reputation than anything else.

It's also kinda weird that they didn't notice Adam was gathering his troops to invade Menagerie.

Next, the UA crimes were revealed, which were covered up.

As a result, a lot of parents pulled their children out of UA heroes and students.

It also showed how biased UA is towards people who have weak powers, villainous powers, or even powerlessness.

In response, these three types of communities became outraged and ceased to support UA and their allies.

UA has witnessed 80% cuts in funding, along with lawsuits filed by harassed individuals.

An anonymous source gave Tsunade some personal evidence.

There was evidence about the missing Konoha Girls and their connection to Kuroinu given to Tsunade.

Sasuke's involvement was shocking to Tsunade when she read the text more carefully.

Having read about Sasuke's potential to help Kuroinu, Tsunade was convinced.

Her assistant, Shizune, was the only person she brought along to investigate the matter secretly.

There were a number of students, who were friends with Jason, who discovered that Jason worked for Pandora as a mercenary.

Most of them dropped out after talking it over and decided they no longer wanted to be heroes.

Moreover, they have talked with their families and have decided to move to Pandora as soon as possible.

In recent times, there has been an increase in grimm attacks as a result of Grimm's threat becoming more difficult to contain.

Thus, some of them decided that moving to Pandora was something that would help them while others decided to stay and decided that moving was not a good idea.

In addition to being upset that many students had been lost, several headmasters also expressed their frustration.

As a result of their exposure, the bullies weren't happy with the fact that their reputations had suffered.

There was one thing that was of particular concern, however, and that was Jackal Lynch, the "Destined Hero".

Despite being the Destined Hero, Jackal has lost all his strength as he was not able to pick up Legatscion when he needed to.

In a recent conversation with Jackal's parents, it was mentioned that both Grimm and Villains had been attacking the house.

The Jackal had also been experiencing lawsuits and negative responses from citizens as he got more angry as a result of the situation.

There were several issues that General Ironwood had to deal with in Atlas.

Due to the arrest of Jacques Schnee, the SDC did not have any CEO to run it until it was decided that Atlas would take over the control of the SDC.

There was a refusal by Winter and Weiss to become CEO of SDC, while Whitley was young, and he too refused to become CEO of SDC.

It has limited the production of the Dust, since the miners would be forced to dig it up, which has limited the amount of Dust that can be produced.

A number of attacks have been carried out across the Kingdom of Atlas, mainly by Grimm and the Remnant of the White Fangs loyal to Adam.

A highly secure prison, which was based around the Supermax Prison of Taurus, is where Adam was being held.

Atlas' reputation was also declining due to the incompetence of its army, cowardly soldiers, and useless robots.

It has been discovered that Ironwood has developed some technology from the Old Era, the period before Powers took control of the world.

Like Pandora, Ironwood retrained his soldiers, riding away the cowards and bringing the fire of the soldiers.

It is ironic that Ironwood admits that his vision for an army was the Pandora Mercenary organization, which he referred to as his ideal army.

Despite the fact that the Pandora Mercenaries were merely guns for hire, their fierce battles and loyalty to each other made them stand out from the rest of the crowd.

The Pandora Mercenaries are very different from Atlas' pathetic army in that they do not waiver or retreat.As far as they are concerned, they will fight to the very end.

It was evident to Ironwood that if he intended Atlas to serve as the perfect army that would protect the entire planet, he would have to enlist a bit of assistance from the Pandora Mercenaries.

As a result of Salem's surprise attack on Pandora, the entire city and the neutral zone were put on lockdown.

In addition, Pandora Mercenaries were recalled back to the city, while Pandora Guards worked double shifts and were always on high alert.

Cinder Fall, Emerald Sustrai, and Mercury Black were all interrogated by Pandora Mercenaries regarding their involvement.

We cleared Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury from Salem's attack thanks to some of them with truth telling abilities.

Due to their villainy and what they did to Neo, there was a lot of distrust towards them.

Nevertheless, the three were more horrified by Salem's use of a Grimm to r**e Neo and plan to make her and them her slaves.

The conditions of staying in Pandora were explained to them by Shiranui in a personal meeting with them.

Despite that, Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury surprised Shiranui when they asked if they could join the Pandora Mercenaries as well.

Despite her knowledge of them within their ranks, Shiranui was hesitant about trusting them, especially not between her and Neo.

Yet at the same time, it would benefit from knowing Salem's Grimm and having Fall Maiden power.

The Pandora Mercenaries are bringing in three major new members to their team, Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury. Shiranui discussed this with Jason and his team.

The three were the reason that Neo was forced to run, and Jason resisted allowing them to join them just like her.

There was a point in the conversation where Neo was torn between allowing Cinder, Emerald and Mercury to join the Pandora Mercenaries, and refusing them.

The conditionals Shiranui created for Cinder, Emerald and Mercury were designed so that they would not be allowed to approach Neo without Shiranui's permission.

Neo and Jason talked about it and both of them decided to give them the chance to redeem themselves for Neo.

Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury were warned to keep their distance from Neo until she was ready.

In addition, Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury were told they'd be gunned down if they betrayed Pandora Mercenaries.

As a replacement for her Shadow Arm, Cinder got an upgraded prosthetic arm.

The four kingdoms are experiencing a great deal of chaos as Salem breeds new Grimms and spreads chaos across them all.

Under Salem's control, Tyrian, the most loyal and devoted servant she has ever had, has become a Grimm Hybrid, so he can only be controlled by her.

With the Grimm, Salem has been able to transform her appearance to become more powerful than before as a result of becoming more powerful than before.

Salem: Neo. Cinder. Emerald. I'll make you serve me. I'll use the Grimm to control you. I will make you my slaves for the rest of your lives.
