7. Bonus chapter 1

Bonus chapter: Info/lore dump

Organisations:

Valour Academy:

To combat the increasing sophistication in villainous activities, self made billionaire and philanthropist Edmund Asher funded the creation of the widest scale hero education facility the world had ever known, combining the most successful aspects of all the most popular schools. The facility was constructed on a private island in the Pacific Ocean to combat security concerns which were apparent previous schools.

Student count: 352

Prolific members:

Izuku Midoriya:

Current number 1 hero in Japan (considered the world's hero capital) and arguably the strongest hero in the world. His raw destructive capabilities have been likened to a weapon of mass destruction, although he dismissed this as a mere exaggeration. Izuku inherited his quirk from the previous number 1 hero in Japan and succeeded his position after his untimely death.

Maria Costello:

Maria is a young and admittedly simple girl who more than anything just wants to help people. An epic destiny awaits her, though she doesn't know it yet. Her quirk allows her to influence the emotions of those around her using her voice, although this is just a base application. In reality the ability has more depth and power to it than she could ever realise.

The Guild of Hero Killers:

Set up in the absence of the hero killer stain to carry on his ambitions, the guild of Hero Killers are an organization comprised of some the most feared and wanted criminals in Japan. They are no simple thugs however, and although their methods are terroristic in nature they have a multitude of sympathizers across the nation.

Member count: 112 (although the vast majority are simple peons operating outside of the main base group)

Prolific members:

Rainman:

The Rainman is a mysterious individual with power to control the weather around him, and ability he has trained and strengthened to a ludicrous degree. He believes he was gifted this great power by god in order to rid the earth of the greedy and avaricious 'heroes' whose self absorbed ways corrupt the spirit of what he calls 'true justice'. Although he is considered deluded even by some fellow guild members, with over 75 confirmed hero kills of rank 100 or above he certainly gets results.

The Purple shade:

Kaihime, or Purple shade as she prefers to be called, is the newest member of the guild of hero killers. Her ingenuity and strength have led to her being both feared and respected in the villain community, even being able to best Gargoyle, the most senior member of the guild of hero killers. She respects the guild methods and the results they get over their morality, although this view point may change in time.

A/N

So, guess who forgot what day it was? Guess who also got up at 03:00 this morning and had to go to a club at 06:00?

This chapter is a sort of ad-hoc thing that I made while I work on the real new chapter, which should be done tomorrow or the next day, so don't worry that this is going to replace the real chapter. If you liked this, I might do some more which include suggested topics for when I fall behind on chapters.

"But where are we going to suggest new topics at?" You might ask, or you just assumed that you'd PM me them. Well as opposed to either of those options I want to announce the creation of the Valour Academy forum! I already have a topic up on there, and anyone is free to come and converse or ask questions.

Here's a link for those interested :)
