"I'm pretty excited to see this up close," Felicity smiled to Akito. "You must have something really special in store with Hiro."

"Thanks, cous." Akito smiled back.

"This sure is exciting." Estelle smiled.

"I know I'm psyched." Vincent added.

"This way, guys!" Hiro told the others.


They soon went to go with him while seeing the many other people with their own inventions.

"Whoa, these people sure have some interesting inventions." Vincent said.

"I'll say," Tadashi agreed. "There's a lot of sweet tech here today."

"It's like we're in Acmetropolis again." Felicity said to her cousins.

"Totally." Akito and Estelle agreed.

"How are you feeling?" Tadashi asked Hiro.

"You're talking to an ex-bot fighter," Hiro smirked. "It takes a lot more than this to rattle me."

"Nervous?" Akito guessed.

"Totally." Go-Go smirked like she knew that.

"Oh, you have nothing to fear, little fellow." Fred advised.

"He's so tense." Honey Lemon cooed.

"No, I'm not." Hiro told them.

"Relax, Hiro. Your tech is amazing!" Honey Lemon smiled encouragingly. "Tell him, Go-Go!"

"Stop whining. Woman up." Go-Go advised.

"I'm fine!" Hiro smiled.

"Whatya need, little man?" Wasabi offered. "Deodorant? Breath mint? Fresh pair of underpants?"

"Underpants?" Honey Lemon asked.

"You need serious help." Go-Go told Wasabi.

"Hey, I come prepared." Wasabi replied.

"I haven't done laundry in six months," Fred smirked. "One pair lasts me four days. I go front, I go back, I go inside-out. Then I go front and back."

"Erm... Merci for sharing that with us..." Felicity said before looking to Akito. "We're gonna go now so you can set up, we'll see you later."

"Thanks, Flick." Akito smiled.

"See ya later, Bro." Vincent said.

"Okay, bye, guys." Akito smiled and waved to them as they left.

The others then went to go with their parents and the visitors while Akito would set up with Hiro and the others.


Soon enough, it was all set up.

'Next presenter... Hiro Hamada.' The announcer announced.

"Oh, yeah," Fred smirked. "This is it."

"I guess I'm up." Hiro replied.

"Okay, photo, photo! Everybody say, 'Hiro'!" Honey Lemon smiled as she brought out her phone for them to take a group photo.

"Hiro!" Everyone else replied as she took their picture.

"We love you, Hiro, good luck!" Honey Lemon beamed.

"Don't mess it up." Go-Go told Hiro.

"Break a leg, little man." Wasabi wished him luck.

"SCIENCE! YEAH!" Fred beamed.

"Go crazy out there, knock 'em dead." Akito told Hiro.

"All right, Bro, this is it," Tadashi said, rising his fist, but Hiro didn't bump his fist back. "Don't leave me hanging."

Hiro didn't look so excited anymore.

"What's going on?" Tadashi asked.

"I really wanna go here." Hiro told his big brother.

"Hey... You got this." Tadashi encouraged.

"You got this... I got this..." Akito smiled to Hiro. "We got this... Together!"

"Uh, thanks." Hiro said.

"Go on... Wow 'em." Akito smiled.


Hiro then took a deep breath and went to go up on stage. "Ahem! Uh... Hi..." he then said nervously. "My name is Hiro-"

The microphone then suddenly gave out feedback which made the patrons wince at the sound.

"S-Sorry..." Hiro replied. "My name is Hiro Hamada, and I've been working on something that I think is pretty cool. I hope you like it," he then put on a mechanical headband as he began to demonstrate and held out a tiny thing. "This is a Micro-Bot."

One man soon looked bored and walked away out of disinterest. Akito soon motioned to Hiro to take a deep breath to help him through.

Hiro noticed that and soon tried to do as suggested as he continued. "It doesn't look like much, but when it links up with the rest of its pals..."

Suddenly, the tubs that the others had brought fell over and micro-bots scattered across the floor. The crowd yelped to that as it surprised them as Hiro calmly stood on stage to show them.

"Things get a little more interesting." Hiro then said, letting go of the micro-bot in his fingertips to join the others in a cubic shape.

This soon began to interest everyone at the showcase.

"The micro-bots are controlled with this neural transmitter." Hiro informed, taking off the headband for a moment.

The micro-bots then scattered and fell onto the floor.

Hiro then put it back on and the micro-bots stood straight up in their shape again. "I think what I want them to do..." he then said.

The micro-bots then morphed into a human hand and waved to the audience.

"They do it!" Hiro then smiled.

This amazed the audience.

"The applications for this tech are limitless. Construction," Hiro continued as he and the micro-bots demonstrated. "What used to take teams of people working by hand for months or years, can now be accomplished by one person."

This amazed the audience even more.

"That's just the beginning... How about... Transportation?" Hiro smirked as he walked to step off of the ledge he stood on as the microbots then caught him as he briefly fell and everyone was captivated by his genius. "Micro-bots can move anything anywhere, with ease." He then dangled upside down over their heads and he gave Tadashi a high-five.

'If this doesn't blow Callaghan away; I don't know what will.' Akito thought to himself.

It, of course, wasn't just Professor Callahan who was impressed.

"If you can think it, the micro-bots can do it," Hiro smiled as he soon concluded. "The only limit is your imagination. Micro-bots!"

Everyone began to cheer and applaud for Hiro.

"That's my nephew!" Cass beamed. "MY FAMILY! I LOVE MY FAMILY!"


Hiro then came off of the stage before running into his brother as they smiled to each other. The others then came to Hiro as they were all very happy for him.

"That was amazing, Hiro." Vincent smiled.

"Yes," A man's voice replied as he walked over. "With some development, your tech could be revolutionary."

"Who are you?" Felicity wondered.

"Alistair Kriel..." Hiro smiled.

'He must be important.' Vincent thought to himself.

"Who is this guy?" Felicity whispered.

"I read about him," Estelle replied. "He's the CEO of Krei Tech."

"May I?" Alistair reached his hand out to Hiro.

Hiro then shrugged and allowed the man to examine his micro-bot.

'I have a feeling Alistar will want the micro-bots at his Krei Tech, but I don't think that would be wise.' Akito thought to himself.

"Extraordinary..." Alistair smirked. "I want your micro-bots at Krei Tech."

"Did you have the same feeling I just did?" Estelle asked her twin brother.

"Yep." Akito nodded.

"Shut. Up!" Hiro gasped to what Alistair just said.

"Mr. Krei is right. Your micro-bots are an inspired piece of tech," Professor Callahan replied. "You can continue to develop them, or you can sell them to a man who's only guided by his own self-interest."

"Robert, I know how you feel about me, but it shouldn't affect-" Alistair replied.

"This is your decision, Hiro, but you should know Mr. Krei has cut corners, and ignored sound science to get where he is." Professor Callahan told the young teenager.

"That's just not true-" Alistair said before being interrupted.

"I wouldn't trust Krei Tech with your micro-bots, or anything else." Professor Callahan advised.

"Hiro, I'm offering you more money than any 14-year-old could imagine." Alistair insisted.

Everyone soon looked to Hiro, wondering what he would decide as he stopped to think about it.

"I appreciate the offer, Mr. Krei, but they're not for sale." Hiro then finally stated.

'Smart decision.' Akito thought to himself.

"I... Thought you were smarter than that." Alistair said to Hiro.

"He is smart!" Akito pouted.

"Robert." Alistair nodded his head before going to leave.

"I believe you're leaving with Hiro's Micro-bot." Estelle spoke up to Alistair.

"Ohh! That's right!" Alistair chuckled like he forgot and then tossed the micro-bot back to Hiro who then caught it.

His assistant glanced back and she soon followed him as they left.

"I look forward to seeing you in class." Professor Callahan told Hiro, handing him a slip of paper.

Hiro soon accepted it with a smile. This made the day even better.

"Yes! Oh, way to go, Hiro!" Akito beamed as he jumped for joy, but seemed to fly in the air as he celebrated Hiro without realizing it, like Rainbow Dash. "He did it... He did it~" He soon landed back on the ground.

Everyone else began to cheer for Hiro. Hiro smiled as he felt loved and accepted by all.

"We're proud of you too, Akito, for helping out your new friend." Mo smiled.

"Anything to help a friend." Akito smiled back.

Mo soon hugged him and kissed his cheek.

"Aw, Mom!" Akito chuckled.

"This calls for a celebration." Atticus smiled.


They soon left after the showcase had ended.

"All right, geniuses, let's feed those hungry brains," Cass told the others with a smile. "Back to the café! Dinner is on me!"

"Nothing is better than free food!" Fred beamed. "Unless it's moldy!"

"You got that right." Cherry said.

"Aunt Cass?" Tadashi called to the woman. "We'll, uh, we'll catch up, alright?"

"Sure. I'm so proud of you," Cass smiled before hugging her nephews with delight. "Both of you." She then let go and walked off with the others.

Akito had a bad feeling something would happen and decided to stick around.

"You coming, Kito?" Atticus asked.

"Uh, that's okay, Dad, I'll catch up." Akito smiled.

"Okay." Atticus said.

Akito smiled as his father walked off with the others as he came to the Hamada brothers. Tadashi then playfully hit Hiro to make him come and follow.


The three of them soon went to a wooden bridge.

"I know what you're going to say," Hiro smirked to his older brother before deepening his voice to sound like him. "'I should be proud of myself, because I'm finally using my gift for something important'."

"No, no, I was just gonna tell you your fly was down the entire show." Tadashi smirked back.

"He's telling you the truth." Akito added.

"What?!" Hiro yelped and soon noticed that Tadashi was right and soon zipped his pants before punching his brother's arm.

Tadashi let out a small chuckle to that before he smiled at Hiro, "Welcome to Nerd School."

Akito had a small chuckle over the name.

"Hey, I, um... I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you," Hiro said to his brother. "So, you know, thanks for not giving up on me."

Tadashi smiled to that before he heard buzzing and looked around. A cat seemed to watch Akito on the bridge and soon looked to him. Akito looked back at the cat and without words, the cat seemed to nod its head at him like it was signaling him to go do something. Akito nodded back as he knew what that meant.
