I'm sure those who have been reading since BOOK I have noticed that I try to post a new chapter every week, and I still do. I'm saying this now because it looks like it's been three weeks (oops).
*raises hands in surrender* I bought Kingdom Hearts 3... and I just got sucked in until I finished the game.
Anyway! Here's the new chapter of Celsius Hero! I hope you enjoy!
Onyx eyes were glued to the small screen.
Mizuha: I'll go tomorrow.
Kirishima: Yay!
Kirishima: alright
Kirishima: I'll pass by tomorrow to come get you!
HUH?
Mizuha had no idea how things ended up the way they did. With a sigh, she let her phone slip through her fingers and leaned back to drop herself back on her bed. The white ceiling above was all she stared at while she tried to calm down the little nerves. She was a little nervous about going out somewhere without Byakuren. She was aware that her classmates were not strangers. They've all been seeing each other for months now but she chose to create a distance… her own discomfort was her fault and she understood that.
She was just thankful that Byakuren was no longer the one holding onto her hand to prevent her from running away. Kirishima was there, and... Todoroki too?
Todoroki walked by her side while Kirishima pushed her forward.
So difficult…
Mizuha: okay
Maybe it was better that he decided to come and get her… there was a high chance she could cancel or just go back home half way there after worrying too much.
The girl rolled onto her side and swung her legs off the edge of her bed. She forced herself to sit upright and plant the soles of her feet on her cold floor. She could feel the cold seeping through her socks. The heat was one of the things she absolutely hated. As someone who always went below zero degrees for her Quirk, heat probably didn't go well with her by nature. Her room was always the coldest place in the house when summer came. She already got numerous complaints by her mother and Shiran about it. They both complained about her getting sick since she always left her door closed when she turned on the AC. Her mother was able to convince her to at least open her door to let the cool air circulate around the house.
She walked out her open door and searched for her mother around the house. While grabbing a fortune cookie that came with the takeout from a few days ago, she found her mom in the living room watching the news.
She sat down next to her, "What's up, momma?"
Mizuki shook her head, "Nothing."
Mizuha opened the wrapper trapping her snack, "Mom, I'm gonna go out tomorrow to buy some things for the Training Camp." said Mizuha before popping a piece into her mouth.
Her mom looked at her, "What do you need?"
Mizuha broke the cookie in her mouth, "I need like three things. Soo I'm going to need money to buy." she managed to say.
"Okay, I'll give you the money later." she said, "You're going with Byakuren?"
"Err... no. He said he'll just borrow some things from a friend."
"You're going alone?"
"No, I'm going with... my class? My classmates wanted to go together as a shopping trip..."
Her mom smiled, "That's good."
"... and a classmate is apparently coming tomorrow to pick me up."
"Oh? Who?"
"Obviously, you don't know him, but he's someone who helped me with my issues."
This was enough to convince Mizuki that this classmate was a nice person. Now she was just curious about how he looked like.
Mizuha pouted and brought her feet up on the couch, "I already said I was going but... what if no one wants me there?"
Mizuki sighed, Here we go.
She couldn't help but think like this. Maybe if Todoroki came along then she'd be able to calm down a little, but he wasn't since he was visiting his mother.
"A class trip with classmates is with people you're friends with... but I'm just... I'm not close to anyone, it's going to be awkward and maybe I'm not even wanted."
"Well, if it turns out that way—"
"—I'll go home."
"No. Just stay with the person who invited you to come. I'm sure they won't come all the way here and think you're not welcomed."
She had a point.
"Okay..." she mumbled.
The next morning, Mizuha sat in her couch nervously, playing with her fingers and staring at the television blankly. Whatever was playing on the screen didn't even register into her mind. Her brother sat on the single couch and stared at her, observing her anxious behaviour.
"Relax." he said flatly.
"Shut up." she said sharply without looking away from the screen.
Shiran raised his hands up in surrender.
When there was a knock on the door, she shot up from her seat, "I forgot something." she said before running quietly to her room while sliding in her socks, leaving her brother flabbergasted.
Shiran rolled her eyes, "What a nervous little wreck..." he mumbled as he pushed himself up from his seat.
When the older boy walked to the door, he peeped into the little hole and checked out who was behind their front door. There was a redheaded boy, and he was staring at something on the wall... the same spot where the Hyoumei family their key. This made Shiran unlock the door and open it, surprising Kirishima.
Upon recognizing Mizuha's older brother, he bowed and greeted him, "I'm Hyoumei's classmate. My name is Kirishima Eijirou." he introduced himself with a friendly smile.
Shiran tilted his head, staring down at the boy.
Mizuha did tell them that two of her classmates came into their home because of the bad weather. She also mentioned how Byakuren was the one who came in with the spare key. Her two classmates probably saw him pull it out of its hidden place. Why else would Kirishima be staring at the spot so curiously. It was so well hidden. With the help of the recorded event on TV, Mizuha was able to show them how they looked like and even added that one of them was someone who helped her.
Now that he got a good look at him in person, he could clearly see that friendly aura.
He smiled.
"Hey, Kirishima. I'm Shiran. My sister is…" he scratched his cheek with his finger, "she's just getting something in her room, she'll be out in a sec."
He actually didn't know what the heck she was doing.
Kirishima shook his head, "Oh, it's no problem."
Shiran gave him a close eyed smile and leaned against the door on his right with his hands in his pockets, "I heard you were the one she spoke to when she broke down 'like a baby'."
"She told you?"
She nodded, "Yup, and I think I speak for everyone in this family and Byakuren when I say that I'm thankful that you were there for her. If you weren't then I think she'd still be closed off and probably attending another school or something."
The redhead smiled, "I'm glad I was able to help." he said, "She's a nice girl."
Shiran cringed, "She can be really mean… she threw her bag at me."
"That's just part of who she is!"
The older boy sighed, "Man, sometimes I wish that she'd go back to the sweet little Mizuha..." he muttered to himself.
Kirishima saw Mizuha walking towards the door. She was wearing a long black and gray striped cardigan that ended below her rear on top of a blue shirt with a design on it. She wore black stretchy jeans and her usual blue shoes. She also had her usual school bag too.
The boy grinned at her, "Ready to go?"
She nodded, "Yeah."
Just then her mom appeared behind the two Hyoumei children, "Try not to let her run away and do something alone or something."
Mizuha slumped her body and sighed, "Way to expose my emergency plan."
"Don't worry ma'am! She won't be alone!"
You'd think she was arranging some type of babysitter.
"Your mom is nice."
"Byakuren likes to call her 'chill'."
"Is she?"
Mizuha tilted up her head towards the sky as she thought about, "... I guess?"
Kirishima glanced at her, then looked at the long sleeved cardigan she was wearing. He found it odd that she was wearing this type of dark clothing in such hot weather.
"Aren't you a little hot?" he asked while pointing at her sleeves.
Mizuha frowned and looked down at her arms. She wasn't going to admit it, it did feel warm... but it wasn't really bothering her right now. In fact, she was always used to wearing long sleeves. Her reason for wearing it was also because of the new discovery about her body. The redness that appeared on her skin when she felt nervous and anxious.
The girl shrugged and shook her head, "Nah, I'm fine."
"Well, I guess if you do start feeling hot... then you could just cool yourself off with your Quirk."
"Yeah."
She did during her internship when her skin felt hot.
"You're lucky. You could such a cool Quirk compared to mines..." he finished with a small pout.
Wait what?
They both swiped their transit passes and went through the small gate. When they were side by side again, she turned to face him with confused expression, "Why are you talking like yours is not good?"
"No, don't get me wrong. My Hardening Quirk is good for fighting," Kirishima shoved his hands in his pockets and shrugged, "It's just that it's not as flashy so it seems boring?"
Mizuha chuckled and looked in front of her, "I'm getting the urge to smack you right now." she shook her head.
"Wh-What?"
"Just because it's not 'flashy' doesn't mean anything. If you're worried about your Quirk not being good enough for Hero work... then you're just being silly. In my opinion, your Quirk is pretty awesome. The society has a lot of people who act as shields and spears... you give me the impression that you can be both. Physical attacks like blades can have no effect on you and you can also attack with your own body." she looked at her hands, "If I try to be like a 'shield' with my ice... then I'd probably get frostbite or something." she laughed, "But anyway, that's just my silly opinion. What I'm trying to say is... be more fair to yourself because you have a cool Quirk, Kirishima."
She grinned at him.
He blinked, then a small smile appeared, "Thanks."
"By the way, have you heard about the exposition in uhh... what was it called... err... something-island...?"
"I-Island?"
Mizuha nodded, "Yeah! That's the name. There's a bunch of advertisements on the internet about the exposition going on there."
"Yeah! It's super cool! I'm actually planning on going before the training camp!"
"All by yourself?" she asked, surprised.
"Nah. Bakugo got an invitation to go so I figured I could tag along!"
"Why did he get invited?"
"Because he won the U.A Sports Festival."
"Ah, that make sense."
When Kirishima and Mizuha met up with their class in front of the mall, it seemed like they were the last ones arriving. As if he was a magnet, she sort of stuck by his side and did her best to play it cool since she was still a little nervous from being out without her usual sturdy support pillar A.K.A Byakuren. After greeting everyone, they all entered the mall together.
"Here we are~! With the most stores in the prefecture, the newest and coolest, most advanced… Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall!" Ashido exclaimed with a fist up in the air.
Mizuha kept her pace next to Kirishima as she silent observed the things around her. Ashido was right, there were a lot of new things that were related to the latest trendy things... which really didn't matter to Mizuha at all. She wasn't exactly the shopping fanatic. Any type of shopping was usually done with her mother and she only bought things that would catch her eye (which was at least three or four things in a clothing store) or what her mother thought was necessary.
Now that she thought about it... she never really had any type of shopping trip with a friend. Whenever she and Byakuren went to the mall, it was either to watch a movie or to eat something at the food court.
Wait is that...
Mizuha took a step forward.
They're selling iced cappuccinos over there...!
"Oh, aren't those U.A. students!?"
She stopped when she heard someone say that and started looking around for where it came from.
"First years?"
"I saw them on TV!"
"Sports Festival, yay!"
"Oh, there are still people who remember that..." Uraraka said, a little embarrassed but yet pleased by the attention.
Out of habit, the girl looked away from the attention and pulled out her phone from her pocket. Now would be a good time to check out what she needed to buy for the training camp anyway. She opened up her notes and read the little digital list she prepared. Kirishima noticed this and peered over her shoulder curiously. Mizuha briefly shifted her eyes to the side when she sensed him before looking back at her phone, he wasn't bothering her.
"So? What's first on your list?" asked Kirishima.
Mizuha shut off her phone and shoved it back in her pocket, Kirishima leaned away as she turned to face him, "I need a bag. I don't have any giant duffel bags at home."
"A bag, huh? I already have one so..."
He already had one.
That meant she had to go look for one by herself.
She waved her hand to dismiss any thought he might have about going with her anyway. The last thing she wanted was to drag a person around when they had other things to do... especially if it was someone who didn't know her that well like Byakuren.
But, isn't Kirishima already aware of who I am?
"Err, it's fine. I'll just go look around and try to find a bag by myself."
I should try looking for a map of this place...
She actually starting turning around to get going, but a firm hand held her shoulder and kept her in place. Her head whipped towards the hand on her and her eyes trailed up until they reached Kirishima's face.
"Anyone here looking for bags?"
"N-No! It's fine really!" she paled.
Kirishima looked at her and grinned, "Your mom said not to leave you alone."
"Oh come on..."
"Yaomomo and I are going to look for bags." Jiro piped up.
Seeing Kirishima's hold Mizuha who looked like she wanted to escape, Yaoyorozu smiled gently at Mizuha, understanding the situation rather quickly.
"Why don't you come with us, Hyoumei? There's no need to be shy."
Jiro nodded, "Come on."
Hearing Yaoyorozu and Jiro say those words made Mizuha relax a little. All it really took for Mizuha to give in and relax was words that reassured her that it was okay to be or do. Kirishima released her shoulder and she was already walking to the two girls.
"Aright." Mizuha nodded.
Yaoyorozu placed her hands on her hips, "Didn't I tell you that you didn't need to shy away from asking for help?"
Mizuha paused. The memory of the day when Yaoyorozu said those words came back to her fast.
"Don't be afraid to reach out to others if you need help."
Mizuha rubbed the back of her neck, "... Sorry."
The redhead grinned, "Okay!" Kirishima called everyone's attention, "Everyone has different things they want to do, so why don't we decide on a time to meet back up?"
"I agree!" cheered Ashido.
"Then let's meet back here at three o'clock!" he decided.
"Okay!"
"Let's start looking for bags." Yaoyorozu said.
Mizuha glanced back at the store selling ice cappuccinos and then back at her leaving classmates. She let out a heavy sigh and followed after them quietly.
"So, Hyoumei, what are you looking forward to during the Training Camp?" Jiro glanced back at her.
Yaoyorozu noticed she was walking behind them and gestured her to walk in between her and Jiro. Mechanically, Mizuha walked in between the two girls.
"Um... I don't know? I thought we were going to train?"
"Nah, I'm pretty sure we're going to have some time to have fun."
"Oh... well I don't know..."
Jiro made a small laugh, "Come on, there must be something you gotta be excited about."
Mizuha couldn't think of anything at the moment. She didn't really give the training camp much thought except about the training.
She shrugged.
Then there was an awkward silence. It didn't last long thanks to Yayorozu once she spotted a map of the mall. Jiro and Mizuha followed after her and checked it out.
Then, she looked down as she stood behind them, hiding her eyes that held embarrassment from her difficulty to communicate. She felt like she should apologize for being unable to talk with ease. Her eyes even started feeling a little teary from the frustration.
Do what you always do.
Ignore and relax.
... yeah that always works.
Mizuha lifted up her head and breathed in deeply, hardening herself.
She pushed back her emotions and looked back up with a neutral blank face.
When they found the store on the map, they went straight for it. Mizuha decided sort of keep her spot in between the two girls. She allowed them to look at each other as they spoke without being in the way while she simply placed her headphones on her head, listening to her music. It wasn't too loud nor was it too low, it was at a volume where she can hear both her music and the voices outside.
Without a word, Mizuha ventured off into the store towards the bag section once they arrived. Yaoyorozu and Jiro both looked at each at the sudden change of attitude. It was like she was back to being distant and alone while just a moment ago she was giving off a more friendly air.
Mizuha fixed her eyes on the shelves that displayed different kinds of duffel bags.
She placed her hand on her cheek and propped it up with her other arm, tapping lightly against her cheek as she thought.
I don't wanna carry a bag that's like the one you carry on your shoulder... that's annoying.
She spotted an azure duffel back with a long shoulder strap.
She dropped her arms, "How much is this?!" she mumbled to herself before reaching for the bag and checking it out.
"You decided which bag you wanted to buy?" she heard Jiro ask behind her.
Out of respect, she lowered her headphones and placed them around her neck to give them her full attention.
"I guess. I just need to see how much this is." Mizuha said while looking at what the bag had to offer. It had a lot of pockets.
When Mizuha checked out the price for it, it was a reasonable amount that she could afford.
She picked it up from the shelf and held it in her hands, "Yeah, I'm buying this one."
"That was rather fast..." Yaoyorozu said.
Mizuha turned to face them and shrugged, "Not really," she pulled out her wallet, "Anyway, I'm gonna go pay for this."
Jiro frowned, "Aren't you going to wait so we can pay together?"
Mizuha tilted her head, "... but you're not done."
"Still, we came together so we should finish together too."
"Um... I just thought it'd be faster?"
Yaoyorozu placed a hand on her shoulder, "You don't need to be so quick to leave all the time, relax."
Jiro sighed, "Yeah, it's like you don't even want to be here." she said jokingly with a chuckle.
The girl stayed silent.
Mizuha's mask cracked. Her face twitched slightly.
"I.. um." she raised her hand and used her finger to scratch her temple... that didn't feel itchy at all, "I..uh... sorry."
Yaoyorozu and Jiro observed her sudden loss for words. She rolled her lips together and shifted her eyes to the side.
"Hyoumei?" Jiro called, confused.
Mizuha shook her head, "N-Nothing." she said with a weak grin, "Sorry. I'll wait."
The shorter dark haired girl was sure she didn't imagine it. There was a flash of something in Mizuha's eyes before it disappeared completely, as if it was pushed back before anyone could see its meaning. The platinum blonde haired girl's face became just as relax as it was before and she held the bag in her arms more tightly. It was like nothing was wrong at all.
Yaoyorozu was unsure about what just happened but it looked like she was fine. The two girls both turned around and started checking out the bags on the shelves, occasionally asking for Mizuha's opinion on the duffel bag.
They completely missed the saddened look Mizuha expressed when their backs turned.
Something about how Jiro said that it seemed like she didn't even want to be there made her feel some sort of pang of hurt. When they told her about how she should wait so that they can pay together made her realize she didn't really know much about shopping with friends at all. She didn't have anymore close female friends. It wasn't an intentional hurt, it was a reminding hurt. The hurt where she felt lonely and frustrated of always shying away from social interaction. Building friendships never came with an instruction manual, making things difficult. It was supposed to be natural... but what exactly was natural for Mizuha? It wasn't easy. It wasn't something you could achieve in one day without feeling scared of something.
Scared of rejection? Judgement?
She wasn't sure.
It just wasn't easy.
...
...
Once everything was paid for, they all exited the store together. Mizuha switched her bags, she was able to shove her backpack into the duffel bag so that she can carry the new one. She followed behind the two girls while checking out the remaining items on her list.
"Hyoumei, if you don't mind me asking..." Mizuha looked up from her phone to listen to Yaoyorozu and was surprised when she saw that both girls stopped walking in front of her, making her stop too. "Was everything alright back there?"
"Hm?" she feigned innocent.
"Earlier in the store, it seemed like something was on your mind and it was bothering you." Jiro remarked.
Mizuha didn't say anything for a moment. She didn't want to bother them with her issues. Self-reliance had to be applied here. It just had to.
... or did it?
Mizuha waved her hands in front of her, "It's nothing really. I swear."
Jiro stared at her, searching for any lying signs on her face. Unfortunately for her, Mizuha was good at lying and masking her thoughts.
"Are you sure?" Yaoyorozu's concern was very much appreciated.
"Kyouran doesn't always need to be the one you can talk to, you know? We're all here." Jiro told her.
Mizuha smiled a little at that, "I know... and thank you."
She needed to really try and do this on her own. She wanted to make friends naturally, not because she asked them too. She wanted to feel that lost feeling of knowing that she was friends with someone. The same feeling she had with Byakuren.
Just be yourself.
Let them see who you are.
Try not to think about what they'll think.
...
...
...
Mizuha sighed exasperatedly, "It's so hot... and I'm thirsty." she whined and slumped forward like a kid, "I can't stand the heaaaat." she drawled.
There it is again, the sudden switch.
The taller girl giggled at the childish behaviour, "We should check if there's a store here that might have what we need."
Mizuha pouted, "But... drinks..." she pointed at the store that was selling ice cappuccinos.
Yaoyorozu reached behind Mizuha and pushed her forward lightly to make her walk, "Training camp comes first." she said, "Come on."
"I could use a drink too." Jiro admitted.
Mizuha looked at the other girl who seemed like she was on her side. Her face brightened—
Jiro grinned, "Later though, after we finish buying our things."
Mizuha sighed.
I want an ice cappuccino.
She never got her ice cappuccino.
Shigaraki Tomura.
The ring leader of the attack during USJ.
He appeared at the mall and confronted Midoriya.
It had probably been twenty five minutes since they all separated before the mall started evacuating everybody. They all joined back up the the meeting place, and the police informed Class 1-A about the confrontation between Shiragaki and Midoriya. Uraraka had been the one to report the incident, causing the temporary close of the mall.
Midoriya was escorted to the police station while the others were told to go home while trying not to walk home alone for too long. Those who were headed for the same direction left together. Mizuha ended up walking with Kaminari, Mineta and Kirishima on the way back and then separating once they had to take different routes.
Hey! Hey! Kotaete dareka imasenka?
Mizuha jumped in fright by her sudden ringtone, she was a little jumpy from the incident at the mall.
Zutto sagashite mo kotae nai ya—
"Hello?"
"Are you okay?"
Mizuha looked around her, "I'm fine, mom."
"... That's good." she sighed in relief, "Are you on your way home?"
"Yeah, I'm like four blocks away from home."
"Okay, I'll see you soon."
"Bye, mom."
"Bye."
She ended the call.
Mizuha frowned.
"Why did he come out...? Why did he talk to Midoriya? And why talk?"
So many questions were in her mind, but she found no answer for any of them.
Mizuha kicked up her legs on the table in front of the couch after she dumped herself on the comfy furniture. She was prepared for her gaming session. Her soft boomerang pillow was with her along with her Winnie the pooh blanket. She even brought a cold tall glass of water and a few boxes of milk flavored pocky.
She finally finished buying all the rest of her things for the Training Camp with her mom and they both retired for the day. It was way too hot to go outside anyway.
Mizuha's eyes shined like a child. Her mom just bought her a new game to play while they bought her things, a game she had been waiting to buy for a while now after saving money for two months.
The opening cutscene started playing.
"It's so beautifuuul!" Mizuha gushed, "Kingdom Hearts 3...!" she wiggled around in her seat in excitement.
Ding!
"What is this madness?!" Mizuha screeched, exiting the game and shutting it off since she couldn't pause the opening cutscene. With a scowl, she snatched her phone off the table, nearly knocking over her glass of water.
She calmed down when she saw Todoroki's name.
He sent her a message.
Curiously, she opened her phone and looked at their conversation.
Todoroki: Hey, are you busy right now?
Mizuha scratched the back of her head, she was so tempted to say yes.
With a sigh, she leaned back and held her phone in her hands.
Mizuha: No.
Mizuha: What's up?
read.
...
Her screen faded black for a brief second.
Hey! Hey! Kotaete dareka imasenka?
Mizuha's eyes widened in shock, staring at Todoroki's contact on her screen above the two buttons that either declined or accepted the call.
Confused, Mizuha picked up the call and placed her phone next to her left ear.
"Hello? Todoroki?"
"Hyoumei."
"... Um, what's going on?"
Why did you call me...?
... I have a game to play.
"I wanted to ask you something."
Mizuha made an exaggerated confused expression, "You couldn't ask me through text?"
"I thought it would be better to ask you in person... sort of."
"Um, okay. What is it?"
"Are you aware about the exposition on I-Island?"
"Yeah."
"My father got two invitations; one for him and the other was for me. Unfortunately, he has no desire to go to I-Island and decided to just give the invitations to me. So, I'm left with an extra flight ticket."
"... You're asking me for advice on who to ask or something?"
"... No."
Mizuha tilted her head, "Then, I don't get why you're ca...lling..." her eyes widened and she stopped talking.
No, it was too soon to jump to conclusions. She didn't want to ask him what she really thought out of fear of the embarrassment of seriously thinking that he possibly wanted to give her the ticket.
Her heart was racing at this point. Wait, did she actually want to go? She literally just bought her new game and was planning to suck the life out of it...
"Do you want to come with me?"
Her jaw dropped.
"Are you serious?" she quickly asked.
She was standing on her couch.
He chuckled on the other side of the line, "I'm serious."
Mizuha's side of the line fell silent.
Todoroki patiently waited for her to answer, he even started wondering if their call was still ongoing. He even pulled away his phone from his ear to check.
"I need to ask my mom. Hold up."
He heard her place her phone on a surface and the sound her footsteps fading in the background. The heterochromia eyed boy looked at the table, his right hand's index and middle finger were sliding the two plane tickets against the surface back and forth.
Mizuha was actually his first choice when his father gave him the tickets. He couldn't ask his siblings to come since they were both busy with their own things. No one except for Mizuha came to mind. If she refused to come along, then he'd just go by himself. It just seemed like such a waste if no one came along.
The sound of the phone getting picked up from a table caught his attention.
"Hyoumei?"
"Todoroki?"
That wasn't Mizuha...
"... Shiran?"
"You wanna take my little sister to I-Island?" He asked, confusion laced in his tone.
"HEY! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Mizuha's voice yelled in the back, she definitely didn't sound too happy.
"I overheard you and mom talking- OW! OUCH! STOP!- ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! HERE!"
He heard shuffling on the other line.
THUD!
... What's happening over there?
There was more shuffling on the other line.
Mizuha sighed, "Sorry about that." she apologized, sitting on her brother's back.
Todoroki chose to ignore what happened, "What did your mother say?"
Mizuha smiled, "She said I could go."
Todoroki smiled, "Alright." he picked up one of the tickets and read the departure details, "Our flight early in the morning after tomorrow." he informed her before lowering down the ticket back on the table.
"Gotcha." she grinned, feeling a little excited and scared about the trip. She was agreeing to do something that was pretty much out of her comfort zone.
But... if she wanted to be more open, then she'd have to step out of it sooner or later and she thought that this seemed like the perfect opportunity to do it. There was no telling how she'd deal with things later on during the trip... but all that matters is that she was trying.
I didn't find any specific dates for when the training camp started and when the movie takes place, all I know is that the movie is before the training camp.
Mizuha's ringtone: Samurai Heart by SPYAIR? (I dunno, I was listening to it and just thought that the chorus was good as a ringtone).
CanadianBlitz: Of course there will be more development between Todoroki and Mizuha (starting next chapter!) I still haven't decided on the official ship. All I know is that I'm definitely not pairing Mizuha with Byakuren (sorry Mizuha and Byakuren shippers!) I'd rather keep them as friends instead of making them a couple. And, thank you for that long review! Those kind of reviews are such a treat for me since they're so rare XD
Speaking of ship, who do you guys think I should ship Mizuha with? Or, who do you ship so far? You don't need to answer if you don't want to, I'm just curious~
Turns out that I won't really be spoiling the movie since it's already out on websites. So, go check it out (if you haven't) if you don't wanna be spoiled!
