Heyo! School is starting back up for me next week and I'm in the middle of switching jobs at the moment so I might not be able to write this as much as I have. It's my birthday today so I decided to give you guys this chapter as a present. Enjoy the show!

The next day came quickly for UA High. The final exams had been upon the students. Himari had already planned out every detail of how she would be doing her part of the final exam with the two students she would be pitted against.

A man with a copy quirk, and a girl with a supernatural one. In a terrain that was not a wasteland but rather, a city zone. They didn't have explosive quirks, and it gave Himari a huge advantage. She may not be physically strong but her speed and evasive skills had been spot on and due to the time limit Neito had on his quirk, she could easily waste that. She was capable of such things after all, and he didn't even know what kind of quirk she had due to the secrecy of her own quirk. Not to mention that they would have no idea what kind of limitations she had with her quirk anyways. They would have to proceed with caution if they wanted to pass their exam.

It was going to be interesting to say the least. She never thought she would have to play the villain role in any kind of situation. If not, ever thinking she would have to be in some sort of villian act. As if she was a shy new student about to audition for some kind of school play.

"Young Himari!" Came a bold voice and a sudden slam of a hand resting on her shoulder, causing her to jump and back away from the number one hero who had been now standing a few feet away from him. His signature grin, on his face.

"Ahhhh, All Might, good morning!" Himari yelped, trying to calm herself down from All Might sneaking up on her.

Talk about getting startled by him constantly.

All Might chuckled warmly at the woman before lifting his thumb and index finger, clenching the rest of his fingers, "Ah, sorry about startling you, Young Himari." He kept his grin on his face at the woman before resting his arms at his sides, "I heard you're going to be testing some of the Class 1-B students for the practical."

Gripping her notebook tightly where she had put all of her notes on, she feels her face heating up in embarrassment at his words. She closed her eyes tightly before shaking her head quickly, snapping herself out of her nerves. She needed to get a grip, "Ah, yes, I've got a plan for it. I know exactly what I'm going to do, sir."

"I'm sure you'll do great." All Might shot her a thumbs up, "Be sure to give it your all out there."

Himari blinked before she sighed, resting her right hand on her head, "I hope you hold back at least a little, All Might. You might kill them if you use your full power."

All Might laughed, "Don't worry too much about that now. I wouldn't go that crazy." He can at least admit he won't use his full power on his students in front of her. She wasn't going to be one of those people that would mouth it off, "Now, I hope to see how much of a show you put on." And with that said, he started walking away.

She felt her phone buzz as she suddenly saw a text from Yu, also known as Mount Lady. She hadn't talked to her in a few days.

Hey, I know you have finals today, but if you wanna come to the mall with me tomorrow, I would totally appreciate it.

Himari blinked, knowing that she had nothing going on tonight. It wouldn't hurt to go out shopping. She had been saving her money up pretty well that she could spend it just a little bit. Besides, going out with Yu sounded like a lot of fun. She wanted to catch up with her.

Himari started typing back to her, sending her message.

Ah, I'd love to, Yu. Do you want to meet at sixteen hundred tomorrow?

A minute later, Yu texted her back.

Sure thing, Himari, I'll see you then!

Himari couldn't help but smile. UA had been a lot nicer than she ever expected. She enjoyed the peaceful life of being able to just counsel students and not dirty her hands any further. She wouldn't want to hurt anyone if she didn't have to. While she was technically dirting her hands today, it wasn't without a good reason. To help the students get stronger and offer her guidance.

It would be a great day. At least, she hoped.

The erie area of the Eight Precepts of Death came into view of the metallic longways that would settle any sane person into uneasiness, mixed with a combination of fear. However, the bird masked man approaching his superior's office had been far used to these parts now. The very eriere hallways were not much to Chronostasis himself.

Finally, he had approach the room, carrying his phone in his hand, having all the information he needed in the power of his fingertips. Technology was very helpful in their research.

"Chisaki, you might wanna look at this."

Chronostasis's voice echoed through the door of his boss's office, wanting to give out the information to him as soon as possible.

Chisaki, also known as the villian Overhaul, looked up at the door from the desk of his office, "You may come in." He told his assistant as Chronostasis opened the door, walking over to the nearby couch, taking a seat across from Overhaul.

"Sir, there's this video going around, and it looks like someone our men encountered beforehand." He showed the picture of a female girl with short pale pink hair and brown eyes, "This was videotaped in the Sports Festival, and get this," He pulled out an article, "look at this."

Chisaki looked over at the article. His eyes, narrowing at it. It was about a young hero's encounter with the Hero Killer Stain. Overhaul hadn't been a fan of him, honestly. Much less, he found Stain's ideology to be flawed, disgusting at that as it helped the disease called Hero Syndrome spread even more. These villains that were rising due to Stain's ideology, Overhaul found them to be just using the term villain as a name to go by, only wanting to promote the disease that needed to be cured.

He found it disgusting that this was the very thing overshadowing All For One's endeavors.

However, he hadn't been interested in the now arrested villain, he had been interested in the woman. He recognizes her as someone their men had a tangle with from the news only a mere few months back. The woman, if he had remembered correctly, had a quirk that was proven to be useful despite the only one time he had read about it after his subordinate returned after the failed mission. A very time where he hadn't wanted to revert to using his quirk, but his patience had, unfortunately been thinned.

Besides, he hated disobedience and someone that had that on top of a lingering amount of anxiety

This woman, had a emotion manipulating quirk. How powerful, how destructive, and useful that was. She didn't need to have the audacity to fight physically, she merely could kill people by looking at them and she could get away with killing if she needed to with that very quirk.

He had been trying to track her for recruitment. However, the girl had been able to hide her tracks well, keeping herself from the view of the public. How ironic, as it seems she was now working in a prestigious hero school. One that had been able to give a massive amount of attention to anyone working there.

She didn't seem like the type that wanted this kind of attention, but if she had been avoiding attention since that incident, she had made a mistake. A very, very grave one.

"Ah," Overhaul's usual dry voice, shredded a hint of amusement and satisfaction, "it seems one of the ones who interfered with us a while back has came back into the public eye." Once one had an encounter with the Yakuza, it was certainly hard to get out of another. He rested his elbows on the desk, resting his head on his hands, "I'm glad you've brought this up to me, Chrono."

"I take it you would like me to send someone to keep an eye on her?" He asked curiously, knowing the question had been half rhetorical. Of course Overhaul would've wanted to investigate her. She was incredibly useful.

"Yes," Overhaul nodded, narrowing his eyes, "but let them know to tread very carefully. The last thing we need is All Might trying to tamper with our plans." As it stood, All Might was someone he wanted to avoid by any means. The other pro heroes wouldn't of been a problem for him, but All Might, he was someone he'd prefer to avoid by any means, "Take your time with this, Chrono. We don't need to cause any bloodshed if necessary." When the opportunity arose, they could snag her.

Chrono nodded, "Yes, sir." And with that said, he stood from his seat and left the room.

Overhaul knew someone like this E-Schemer hero would be someone of use to him. Considering how capable that quirk was, how powerful it was in of itself. It would be a fine asset to the Yakuza. He wasn't going to traffic her as she was far too valuable for that.

He at least hoped the spy Chrono had planned to watch her was aware of the chances of tipping off UA if they did this wrong.

Vlad King had greeted her the moment she had arrived to see Class 1-B in action. Some of the teachers had already been there. She remembered a few of them from before. Hizashi, Vlad himself, and…

She noticed the Principal was in here as well. Goodness.

"Good morning, E-Schemer." She looked down to see Nezu standing next to her, waving his small paw at her, "It's good to see you helping with the finals."

She gives the Principal a small smile, nodding, "It sure is." She never thought Nezu was a fighter. He seemed so peaceful in their own interactions, "How are you faring this morning?"

"Great, thank you. I look forward to what you have planned for the students." Nezu smiled at her as she nodded firmly, feeling a bit nervous about this test.

"Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do as well. I didn't think you were much of a fighter." Himari told him while he laughed.

"You and I are a lot alike in that regard, don't you agree?" Nezu told her with a mischievous smile that she almost wrote off as a bit sadistic? Was that the right word? Nezu never came off with that kind of emotion to her before, "We don't need explosive offensive quirks to be useful and in this society, that can be a powerful entity that can take your enemy by surprise."

"Umm, yes, I think so." She rubbed the back of her head nervously, "Although I think it's good to avoid conflict if you can."

A positive hum in agreement was given from the principal, nodding. Many of the other teachers came in as well soon. Some waved to her and she waved back in return but the students had been coming in as well.

It had been a lot of pressure in the air from the students, and Himari understood why. She had been in that kind of position in the past. Exams were the worst.

As the class began their final exams, she noticed that everyone had been winning them so far. All the students had took their chances and gone through the escape gate or put the handcuffs on their opponents.

Now, it was Himari's turn to challenge them. She was standing out in the middle of a street in a city like setting. In fact, it kind of reminded her of her neighborhood, actually.

She had plenty of room to act stealthy around here. Plenty of ways to handle the situation. If anything, she was at a decent advantage. Her opponents would have to outsmart her in order to make it to the escape gate, and she would be tracking their movements.

The test needed to begin. They would think this would be the easiest way to handle this, but Himari had always been someone who was calculating in battle. Maybe a little too much, but she wanted the students to pass their exam fair and square. That meant she couldn't hold back on them.

The erie sounds of what sounded like ghosts came into her ears. Her mind, hearing the hushed voices speak louder and louder of some kind of language that she didn't understand at all.

Then, Neito had came out of one of the alleyways instantly, charging at her, lifting his fist to try to slam into her face, but she had sidestepped it to dodge. Pivoting into a ninety degree angle, she immediately jumps back out of his grasp, keeping her distance.

With Neito's quirk the way it was, if he didn't touch her, he wouldn't be able to copy her quirk. Plus he really didn't know what her quirk was. None of the students really knew what her quirk was. To reveal it in battle this early wouldn't be the best of options. It's best she keeps her distance and run out the clock as much as she could.

Although, she gotta give them credit for facing her head on like this.

"I gotta admit, E-Schemer," Neito's grin widened and he looked at her, "I didn't think you had that good of skills to evade. Then again, you're not much of fighter, are you?"

Suddenly, Himari felt herself get suddenly pinned to the ground by some kind of invisible force. She realized who it soon was and that it was Reiko who stood above a building, staring her down.

This was their plan huh? She was giving them credit, they weren't taking any risks in this situation. Neito had the cuffs in his hands, preparing to put them on Himari himself.

"This was just easy as I expected it to be…"

Himari's brown pupils suddenly glowed pink around them, activating her quirk as she stopped Neito in his tracks, giving him some feeling of anxiety bursting through his body. Something Himari had on a near daily basis that could really help at this point. He hesitated which gave Himari the opportunity to kick away the invisible force and slamming them straight into Neito, using them to knock him down to the ground.

The moment she locked onto Reiko, she activated her quirk again. This time, by implanting the same anxiety, making her cancel out the voices she had been implanting into Himari's head. In a matter of seconds, Himari had been in behind her, grabbing her by the arm and flipping her downwards. Reiko's back made impact with the ground as a result.

Himari admitted, that was a brilliant strategy, but now that her quirk was shown, it was a matter of time before they both figured out what was going on with her.

They had to do it before time was up, after all, and Himari didn't intend on giving them that. They'd have to treat this like a real battle. They would have to win their way to passing their exam.

She would do her best to school them.

Her left foot went backwards. Her right, slammed into Reiko's back, intending on keeping her pinned. However, Himari was aware that Reiko had a power like her own. She didn't need to get physically strong to be a strong force. Himari still knew she was at an advantage. However, she was surprised they found her so quickly. It looks like Reiko's quirk had been the cause of that. If she was able to make noises not there in reality and manipulate a ghost, it was an incredible and useful power. One she feels would definitely be an unstoppable force as she grew older and was able to utilize her quirk better.

If she kept them at bay like this, there was no way either of them were going to pass.

She suddenly felt a powerful force of wind hit her and in a matter of moments, she was knocked away, rolling in the concrete. This was hard to figure out, especially since the ghost was unable to be seen.

Then, the screeching voice she heard moments before, were now throwing off her focus. Her mind wasn't thinking. She needed to take out Reiko and quickly, but at this rate, she wasn't going to get that chance unless she could stop the ghost she was controlling.

She struggled to get both of their emotions to change. Her pupils, glowing around them once again, trying to get their nerves tight, making them unable to figure out if they could beat her or not. Maybe she could get the ghost to stop attacking too.

She could tell they were struggling. There was still time for them to beat her and pass the exam. However, she was going to have to take one of them down now.

She decided to increase the anxiety on their bodies, having them feel as if they were going to die, but they weren't. Panic attacks couldn't kill you, but they could still do damage to their mind. It's what made her quirk so dangerous. She could see their bodies tightening from the anxiety that was shooting through their body. They were still unaware of what was going on it seemed, but she was certain they would figure it out soon.

Their anxiety would send them into a fight or flight mood soon enough and whatever they one they chose, they would be impaired by judgement because of the it. They would have to tread carefully.

She almost felt bad that she might be doing this much damage to their brain, but they would have to deal with anxiety when there was a real opponent, and they wouldn't be as merciful as she was being. She blinked, stopping her quirk as it was starting to dry her eyes out now. Yet another disadvantage of her quirk, but it had been the first time she had to blink forcefully through this battle.

They needed to figure out a way out of here if they had wanted to win.

She'd shot behind Reiko in a matter of seconds, pulling out her brass knuckles, twirling them in her right hand, slamming her right fist into her back, sending her flying into the building.

She mentally apologized to Reiko and Neito, but she would not hold back on them now. Although the metal shackles on her wrists were a bit heavy, she was still continuing to strive.

Before Neito could charge at her, her quirk activated again. This time, trying to get him to sleep, indicating the exhaustion she had felt this morning before she had shown up to UA.

"Tch." She heard Neito growl, indicating that he had been annoyed with this and she frankly, couldn't blame him. He was certainly resilient, the both of them, she had given them that much.

They were turning into amazing heroes and Himari knew they would get better. However, she wasn't about to stop now.

Neito had tried to hit Himari and make contact with her. However, the sleepiness he had felt was plaguing his mind. He was already tired from the anxiety he had still been feeling and while it wasn't as strong as moments ago, he knew he was slowly, but surely falling asleep. He couldn't back down, not as Class 1-A was passing their exams, and he was there, damned to fall behind the very class he had been dying to surpass.

And yet, while his mind resisted, his body, did not. He immediately dropped to the ground, falling asleep.

In an instant, Himari blinked again, taking her quirk power off of him. She now needed to deal with Reiko.

Suddenly, a fist connected with Himari's face, knocking her into the building next to behind her. She coughed, trying to catch her breath. She coughed some blood into her fist before realizing that Reiko has grabbed Neito and started rushing to the escape gate.

She started to charge at them, intending on not letting them win. The moment her quirk activated though, they had already passed through the escape gate.

They had passed. She couldn't help but find herself proud of that. Reiko was a very capable fighter who did her best to keep Himari on her toes. She had been impressed with Neito too. They were both very capable fighters.

She put a hand on her chest, sighing to herself happily. It made her smile really, just to see how capable the students all were. Even after her own match, she watched the others with joy.

Then she came to terms with that due to knocking Neito out during his practical, he failed the exam. He did well though and she commended him in that regard. He'd have to do the remedial classes during summer camp. Which reminded her, just what was she going to do during summer break?

After the briefing afterwords, Himari began walking out of the room, yawning to herself. Those kids took a lot out of her. No matter how prepared she was, she knew she was a bit rusty. Even though she often liked to keep herself in shape, she was still rusty.

"Himari?" Someone spoke, snapping her out of her thoughts before she turned over to see Aizawa standing there, "I heard about how good you were in the practical. You challenged those kids well according to Nezu." However, that really wasn't what he was here for.

"Ah, oh um thank you so much. They were fantastic on their own." Himari scratched the back of her head nervously before shooting a small smile to him, "I can see why Classes 1-A and 1-B are so competitive with one another. Even after the Sports Festival."

"Yes," Aizawa nodded in agreement, "They can always knock someone out of their spot in the Hero Coarse and take it as their own." He closed his eyes before sighing, "However, that wasn't what I wanted to talk to you about." He stuffed his hands in his pockets, "You see, the summer camp is coming up, and all of classes 1-A and 1-B will be going. This means the students you've been seeing are going to that trip. Only myself, Vlad King, Principal Nezu, and the pro heroes that will be assisting the summer camp will know the location of it. It's because of the USJ incident we wanted to keep it under wraps." He narrowed his eyes, "However, I want you to come with us." After seeing Himari's confused face, he continued, "I know you aren't completely fitted for battle. However, those students still need your counselling. I won't let their camp be a break off their session with you."

Himari listened to his words and nodded. So, guess that's what she'll be able to do in the meantime of summer break. It was certainly going to be interesting to say the least, "Ah, I see." Then, another thought occurred to her. Why wasn't All Might coming along? Wait, the USJ attack read All Might as the primary target for the villains. That had to be why, "That makes a lot of sense." She really didn't know what else to say at that very moment.

"I'd like to have you work with me on the remedial classes." Aizawa continued, "Your quirk can help calm the students down if need be."

The glint in his eyes made Himari a little nervous. She knew how strict Aizawa was on his students. He was kind of...intimidating.

"Um...r-right." She nodded in agreement, understanding, "I'll look forward to it." She bows in respect.

Aizawa handed her a piece of paper, indicating the information for the trip and much of the details, "It'll be good to work with you." He told her before walking away.

As he walked away, Himari felt her phone buzz. Opening it, she saw it was Yu.

Hey, are we still on for tomorrow? Just making sure you weren't too tired after the practical.

Himari typed up her message quickly, sending it.

Of course! I'm heading home and I'll be on my way afterward.

After getting ready to go to the mall the next day, Himari put on some normal civilian clothes. Her pink hair had a headband on top of it. Her white blouse was sleeveless with a red thread around it, tied into a bow. Her tan skirt was filled with patterns of pink flowers and was slightly flowery. Her one inch, heeled black sandals covered the part of the middle of her foot all the was to wrap around her ankles.

She might've dressed up a little too much, she'll admit, but she was happy she was hanging out with a friend. She was a little tired and all, but she was glad she didn't cancel out because she was drained from the practical. It was some much needed fresh air.

It's a good thing she cleaned herself up. Didn't need Yu to get really concerned about her. Besides, the students didn't do too much to her. It was just some scratches an all, nothing unusual for a pro hero to have, really.

She was running to head over to the mall, hoping she wasn't running too late. She also hoped Yu wasn't too mad at her for running a little late. She underestimated the time.

It's a good thing she was wearing low heels or she would be falling on her face a lot.

Finally, she arrived in the center of the mall, watching a various amount of people walking around and enjoying themselves. She was looking around, trying to find Yu. She looked around for a good minute before she pulled out her phone, about to text Yu.

Suddenly there was a tap on her shoulder. Turning, she saw Yu standing there, giving a small smile, in civilian clothes herself.

"Hey, Himari." She grinned before she grabbed her shoulders, loving the outfit she was wearing, "I love your outfit. It really suits you."

Himari blushed, covering her face with her hands before smiling beneath them, "Ah-ah, thank you. You look really pretty too." It had been the first time she saw Yu in a outfit other than her hero costume.

"Thank you so much." Yu chuckled, looking over at all the stores, "So where do you wanna start?"

"Not sure." Himari responded, thinking about some things she might need. Jewelry, some new clothes, and some shoes. She could go look at some other stuff too. Her headphones at home were starting to go out too, "I do want to check out some new clothes. That's the first thing on my list, and we could get some food in a bit." She looked around at the shops, wondering what exactly she wanted to do first. So many choices.

"I have quite a bit I wanna get, but all the outfits are super cute." Yu told her, looking around at the variety of choices around them, "And there's the entire mall to still scope around for too. Man, talk about the struggle. I don't wanna blow up too much money."

"Don't worry, I won't let you." Himari smiled, "Just tell me the budget you're on, and I'll stop you." She used to do that for friends a lot in the past.

Yu smiled, "You're the best, Himari. Okay, I'll only limit myself to four outfits and a couple of necklaces. How about that?" She could do that right? It totally wouldn't be a problem.

She walked over to the nearby dress shop, seeing one of the dresses in the window for display, "Ahhh, totally not bad right?" She then looked at the price tag and almost cringe, "Oh no, this is such a nightmare. With that kind of price, I'll only be able to spend it on one other thing."

Himari couldn't help but giggle at her words, "Yeah, don't buy it then. Get your stuff in quantity and quality combined." She was not wanting her friend to blow her money out on just one thing now.

"The jewelry store seems like my area then for now." Yu sighed disapprovingly. The dress was so cute though. It sucks she wasn't going to get it, but maybe the price will go down soon? She hoped, then she could really get that dress.

"Don't sweat it, I'm sure there are cheaper places around here." Himari told her, waving her hand around. She really wasn't feeling the jewelry store at the moment. She could go look at a new purse? Hers was starting to get old. But if Yu wanted to look for jewelry, she would go along with her. It wouldn't bother her.

"I mean, if you don't want to look at jewelry, you can totally go somewhere else. I don't have a problem with that." Yu tried to tell Himari who shook her head.

"No, I came here to hang out with you. That would be rude." She didn't want to make Yu feel bad, but she didn't want to leave her especially when their plan was to hang out.

"It won't be rude at all if I tell you it's okay. Besides, friends do this all the time, you know?" Yu shrugged, "If you do wanna tag along, you can. I can just tell you're not too interested in going to the jewelry store. I'll text you when I'm done and we can meet back up here."

Himari wanted to protest but Yu was already walking towards the jewelry shop. It looked like there was no way of talking her out of it now. She sighed, time to find out where the purse store was. She had to try to find a map first.

She wandered around the mall aimlessly, trying to find the map that she needed to find out where she needed to go next. Ah, she needed to find it. She didn't want to keep Yu waiting when she texted her that she was ready to go somewhere next. She had to find it soon.

Suddenly, someone came into view of her, walking towards her. It was a man with a black hoodies on and black pants. He had his hood up too. As he got closer to walking to her, she was able to see his face. The scars below his eye, it reminded her of someone.

Then, it suddenly hit her as the two crossed paths. She saw the red eyes that had been vacant in her life for years. She feels uneasiness in her chest, mixed with relief. Her breath, caught in her throat. Her brown eyes, widening in shock. Her chest and muscles, straining from the anxiety floating into her body.

Is that…

No, it couldn't be. It wasn't him. It couldn't of been him. He was dead, among those that died that fated night that she wouldn't ever forget. Her small, pale hands, trembling as it felt like they had been looking at each other for far longer.

He looked shock too. No, it was true? It was him?

Himari didn't know how to feel right now. She wanted to ask how he was alive, why he was alive, what happened to him, but she had been unable to utter a word out of her tenacious lips that unable to speak.

Stop...this couldn't be happening right now, but she couldn't unconnect the dots that had already been merged in her head.

The man that had been staring at her, was her old friend. The very person she thought was dead. She didn't know how to explain her emotions. She wasn't able to speak but merely one word.

"T-Tenko?"

I know, I know guys, the most recent chapter had the details of Class 1-A and 1-B battling in the manga and while I'm excited about it, I know that my headcanon for Reiko's could get debunk. However, that's okay as this would be made before the chapter even hit, and I can always edit it.

Now to some review replies since my last week's been utterly chaotic and couldn't respond to the user ones.

fencer29: Oh my god, I know right? It's amusing to watch Bakugou in therapy. I'm looking forward to writing him after the Summer Camp Arc. Also, as for her joining, I think it would be a great idea considering how much steel patience Himari has. (She's probably the only one that can handle Bakugou without losing her cool Lol) As for the practical, you got your anwser this chapter. Thank you so much for your support!

ReaderJ: Ayyyy yeah saw that and trying to correct it. Although the way you edit chapters on is such a pain now. I miss the old days. Anywho, thanks for commenting and continuing to read 3

You guys have been so great! I appreciate all of your support and look forward to updating hopefully soon!
