The Villains Hero

by makoto x chelia

Kenji Mikami, caught between two worlds. Villainy, and Heroism, born from a Villain Father, and a Hero Mother. Choosing to go down the path of a Hero, was hard when no one believed in him. However, that changed the day he met another boy who also was told he couldn't be a Hero, and their story begins now!

72. Mirio vs Class 1A!

Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

StrikerTj; If I could, then that would be a dream come true~ Mirio truly is quite strong, and thanks, here's the chapter. Yeah perhaps in the future I will.

D N Works; Hikari's supporting him for the sake of others like Shoto, and Rei and others. She acknowledges that he's done wrong and if he was an irredeemable monster, then she'd not bother, but she can see the good in him. She's not stronger than Endeavour, she just shines in different ways, Reaper's stronger than Endeavour, but he's not a Hero anymore. Irina's got some issues to deal with, adjusting to society again after being All For One's basically prisoner for a good chunk of her childhood. Yup, he gave Misaki a fright, and he's about to give her another one. Yes, it can do, but there are ways around Mirio's Quirk that have been shown in canon, even the way he describes it which we'll see in this chapter, but even then it's gonna be difficult. In canon, Geten is yes, in this, we'll have to wait and see.

ShadowUzumaki55; He does yeah, he just wants to make sure that the people he cares for are looked after, and are in the life they wish for. Basically, he does see her as a daughter. He is yeah, Endeavour's growing in his ways, and Hikari's supporting him for the sake of his loved ones. Hikari's been helping him for a while now, shown in past chapters. She does acknowledge that he did that, but as long as Kenji's alright with it, then she'll continue helping out. They are yeah, lets see what Geten's gonna do in the future. Irina's life is slowly going back to normal, though there are some roadblocks. He does yeah, and Izuku is gonna join in the near future, but with how Nighteye is about Izuku, and what not.

KarmaChaos5; He was worried about her future yeah. Hikari's trying to help out yeah, seeing the beginning's of Endeavour's better side inside of him. Sakura's doing her best yeah, showing her intelligence. He is yeah, and thanks to that, it's gonna help him with the upcoming arcs. Ryukyu is a good person, she's gonna see Irina just as she is, not the former member of the League or Reaper's daughter, which Irina appreciates. Kenji's quite cautious with Geten yeah, and yeah poor Misaki got a fright, she's about to get another one. They're gonna have a good fight alright~ For a little while, I've got some personal stuff going on, which limits my time to write.

Chiaki Forever; Yeah, he's basically seeing her as another daughter since they've spent so much time together. She is yeah, Hikari wishes to help them repair their relationship, but she wouldn't force it, and just support all of them as much as she can. Yup, Sakura and Kirishima have a nice relationship huh. He is yeah, that speed is gonna help him in the next arc coming up. It was yeah, Ryukyu is going to take a chance with Irina. Nope, they aren't trusting Geten right off the bat. She did yeah, and Misaki's about to get another one. They have some yeah, and you never know, she might get one in the future. He did yeah, and the girls got a bit scary. It seems that Kenji is yeah, though he doesn't have all of the proof he needs yet.

Infinite Love 14; Thanks for the votes! Well you never know, Kenji might become angered by Chisaki doing it.

Guest 1; Yeahs perhaps~

Guest 2; Sakura's gonna try her best yeah, and she was designed to take punishment so she could stand if Mirio hit her. I've got a funny moment in mind for when that happens.

Roxas Itsuka; Thanks very much! His body isn't, he could use his full powers, but it would be more difficult than before. He does yeah, he really wants to make sure that Himiko has the best life that she could have. Yup, they're going with them~ She might go with Fatgum, it could be interesting. He is yeah, Hikari's trying her best for not just Endeavour, but his family as well, and is supporting them all as much as she could, while allowing them to make their own choices. He is yeah, Dabi's a mystery to Kenji, and he's not sure what he's planning to do. It's gonna be a good battle, between them.

Silver crow; Thanks very much! Himiko wouldn't bring that up, it's not something they're ready to reveal yet. Yes, Hikari agrees with that, but in this point in the story, Shoto's not going to want to go to Endeavour, it was only after seeing him fight the High End that Shoto began considering such things. Daisuke's gonna be showing a few different things to Shoto, and another person that others might not be able to, and yeah, she can't with Daisuke, but she can with Ragdoll. Yeah, seems like from the beginning till now, the public are beginning to see the error of their ways. He is yeah, he's growing stronger with Gigantomachia's help. Irina and Nejire are quite good friends haha~ And yeah, Ryukyu's been introduced~ Yeah, he doesn't have more than canon. It seems that they're suspicious of Geten. Haha, yeah Misaki got a fright, she's about to have another one. Naoto got a uniform huh. Quite a misunderstanding alright~ We'll have to wait and see what happens in their battle. Aizawa and Hikari do have that kind of relationship huh. Not for them anyway, you'll see what comes of it when we get there, but it has been hinted in the story before a little while ago about what Overhaul's doing right now. Yes, factoring it in, Kenji's gonna do quite well, that's all I can say. Yeah, he's shaping up to have some cool powers. The RWBY ideas seem cool to me.

AlphaOmega; Reaper was yeah, but if need be, he can still step up. He wishes for her to have a good life, but Himiko also cares about Reaper and wouldn't leave now. She has done before though, she knows he's done horrible things in the past, if he wasn't trying to redeem himself, and was an irredeemable monster, then she wouldn't be his friend, but because she can see that he's trying to change himself, and she also cares about people like Shoto and Rei, she wishes to help the best that she can. Yup, we'll see what they learn there. Yup, Irina's trying her best, she might have some hardships, but she's gonna try her best. Yeah we'll see what's gonna happen with that~

Neonlight01; They are yeah. She's attempting to get her life back in order yeah, and with Ryukyu's help, she's been given a chance to start anew with her best friend Nejire. They realize something isn't right with Geten, but right now, they're not that sure on what that actually is. They're gonna have quite a fight on their hands huh~?

Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!

Mirio vs Class 1A!

It was early in the morning, and Kenji sat with Eri, while he was helping her with some spellings, and pronunciations among other things.

"Now, how about trying to spell the name 'Shoto'?"

He didn't give her difficult words of course, he was helping out on what she would have missed going to school at her age, but he had to admit that she seemed to pick up things rather quickly, and was beginning to master spelling simply words quickly that perhaps others her age would find hard.

Eri overlooked the paper, and then showed a shy expression while trying to spell it.

"Erm..."

"If you're having trouble, sound out the word like I've taught you, remember?"

Kenji encouraged Eri.

"Yes, Ken-chan!"

Eri did just as Kenji said, sounding out the word, and then wrote Shoto's name.

"Haha, you're coming along great Eri-chan, well done~"

He said happily, petting the young girls head, who smiled up towards him.

"I did good Ken-chan?"

"You did amazing Eri-chan!"

Eri felt quite happy with the praise as Izuku came strolling over.

He overlooked the papers, and then looked towards Eri.

"Are you learning how to spell?"

"Yes, Ken-chan is helping me."

"I see, that's amazing Eri-chan. I can't remember being able to spell as well as this at your age."

Eri smiled sheepishly, while Kenji whispered "Write Deku-kun a message Eri-chan. Like we practiced yesterday." Eri nodded strongly, and began writing while Izuku looked intrigued.

He then received the letter that said "Izuku is my friend." which made him beam.

"That's very kind Eri-chan. You're also my friend."

"Hehe, thank you Deku-chan."

Kenji petted her head.

"Hungry Eri-chan?"

"Yes...I'm hungry Ken-chan."

"Then lets go and get something to eat, you've earned it~"

Kenji quickly got some food for Eri, and sat down beside her, while Izuku joined them.

"So, Ken-kun, I've been thinking about these Work Studies, if we get to go, I wonder where I'm going to go? Perhaps Gran Torino...though I'm not sure if he'd do it again...hehehe."

"I'm going to be going to Sir Nighteye-sans Agency, want me to ask if you can go there?"

Izuku's eyes widened, and sparkles appeared by his eyes.

"W-Would you!?"

"Of course, it would be awesome for us to work together!"

"Yes, yes, it would be the best!"

Eri looked between them, while she ate her food.

"Ken-chan, are you going to be in danger?"

Kenji gently petted her head.

"Don't worry, I'll be with Togata-senpai and Sir Nighteye-san. Though truthfully, I'm not sure what is going to happen when I get there. Sir Nighteye-san can be quite intense, but he's a good person, and wants to do what is right."

"Sir Nighteye is All Might's former Sidekick, right?"

"That's what I heard, but I don't know why they fell out."

Kenji replied to Izuku who furrowed his eyebrows.

"Either way, thank you Ken-kun, if we end up working together, it would be amazing."

"It surely would be."

Kenji retorted happily, and kept in mind to ask about Izuku joining the Nighteve Agency when he went there later that day.

---

Within class, Kenji sat down in his usual seat within his class, with Katsuki casually sat on his lap, along with the others scattering into their own seats. Eri and Misaki sat down quite close to Kenji, while Naoto sat down next to Momo, who seemed to be quite happy that Naoto seemed to be able to relax with her.

Aizawa came into the room, and overlooked his students.

Kenji noticed that his Mother seemed to be absent for some reason.

Aizawa turned to both Shoto and Katsuki.

"Shoto Todoroki, Katsuki Bakugo, Hikari Mikami wishes to see you."

"Why?! I haven't done anything!"

Katsuki argued, while Shoto raised an eyebrow up.

"I have to agree sir, I haven't done anything also. Usually it is Bakugo-san that does something."

Katsuki felt a twitch in her neck.

"Oi! I heard that!"

"Yes, I am aware."

Katsuki looked livid while Shoto remained calm and composed.

Kenji looked between them, seeing the expression on Katsuki's face growing more annoyed by the second.

"It isn't anything bad as far as I'm aware. Go to reception, and go from there. She's expecting you."

Katsuki sighed, lightly kissed Kenji and then walked out. Shoto kissed Kenji also, walking out of the room.

As soon as they had left, Eri hopped onto Kenji's lap, and seemed to be quite happy with the place she was sat.

Murmurs around the classroom about what was going on, wondering if they were in trouble, came to a halt when Aizawa coughed into his hand.

"Right, with those two going for a small absence, it is time to talk about the Hero Work Studies. Actually, we have some guests that can do that."

"Guests?" Sakura echoed. "What guests?"

Aizawa went to answer, when there was a knock at the door.

Aizawa turned and said "Come in." so the door opened, with everyone leaning forward expectingly.

Stepping through the door, was Mirio, Tamaki, Nejire, and Irina.

"I'll have people that have experienced the Hero Work Studies first hand explain. I'd suggest you listen carefully on how Work Studies differ from regular internships. These four are third years at U.A. They, with the exception of Irina Mikami, rank at the very top of the student body, though Irina Mikami's talents have put her on a comparable level to the Big Three."

Kenji was proud that Irina was being considered like it.

It truly meant that she was beginning to move on from the fate of the League that had once controlled her life.

"We're considering changing our names to the Fearsome Foursome~"

Nejire sings out, while Irina turns to her with astonishment.

"S-Since when?"

"But, it would be so cool if you were included! Then it would be two guys, and two girls~ Equal you know~?"

Nejire happily sings out, while the rest look on with surprised faces.

Izuku recognizes Mirio immediately, remembering his encounter with the man when he was with Misaki, and now that he was there, he wondered if he could learn anything from him.

Irina waved her hands up and down, trying to relax the situation.

"Well, I'm just observing today, that's all. We're not the Fearsome Foursome."

"We could be, and that's the main point. We are fearsome, and we are a foursome. I just think that Big Three could become Fearsome Foursome~"

"Or, if you really wanted to push it, Big Four. But, I've not had much of a presence at the school yet to consider myself among the top~"

Mirio let out a heart laugh, patting Irina on the back.

"Aah, don't worry Irina-chan! You can be apart of us! I wouldn't mind at all!"

"Hehe, you're so kind Mirio-kun~"

Tokoyami raised an eyebrow at the friendly nature of their relationship.

But then simply accepted it, knowing Irina loved him, so he was quite happy that he was making friends.

"My, Mirio-kun, Amajiki-kun, Irina-chan and myself~ The Big Four~ Or something like that~"

Nejire snickered out, Irina noticing that Tamaki seemed to be looking worried. She actually found it quite adorable with how he was staring at the class with a slightly fearful expression on his face.

"He's so painfully shy, it's kind of cute~"

She thought to herself, while Aizawa said "Lets get to it, introduce yourselves quickly, starting with Amajiki." who looked on at the crowd, and he could feel his nerves getting the better of him. He then gave an intense stare out to the class, causing most of them to freak out, wondering why he was looking so intensely at them.

But then he began shaking with his teeth chattering.

"I-It's no good...I just can't...my minds gone blank, and my mouth is dry...I can't say anything...I want to go home..."

Tamaki turned around while Sakura placed a hand over her heart, seeing Tamaki looking so worried about the classes presence.

So much so that she stood up, and walked over to the painfully shy boy, tilting her head towards him while he looked even more worried than before.

"Are you okay Senpai? You seem to be worried about something. Don't worry, we don't bite~"

Tamaki seemed to be worried about the way that Sakura was saying.

"N...No, I'm fine...please don't stare at me...I might not be able to take it..."

Sakura didn't quite understand, so she gently placed a hand on his shoulder, and gave a peppy smile.

"Don't worry Senpai, I think you'll be fine!"

His bottom lip trembled while Sakura gave a kind smile.

He turned his head away from her, and walked towards the back wall, placing his head against said wall, and didn't even say anything. He was shivering, and Sakura thought that she had done something to offend him, so she pulled closer.

"Senpai, have I offended you?"

Tamaki shook his head again and again.

"...N-No...y-you're j-just...y-you're...a-a human...a-and even t-though I'm t-trying to imagine you with a p-potato h-head...y-you still have a h-human body...a-and you're...y-you're..."

Seeing the trembling body along with his timid voice, Sakura placed a hand on his very stiff shoulders.

"It's alright Senpai, Naoto is also super shy. But I'll help you be less shy! How about a hug~? That always cheers me up~"

She said with a peppy voice, causing Tamaki to press his forehead against the wall, and just mutter "No...it's fine..." which left Sakura feeling troubled, so Irina went closer, and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry Sakura, he's just very shy."

"I haven't done anything wrong?"

Irina shook her head.

"No, of course not sweetheart."

Sakura wasn't sure, and went back to her seat while thinking about what had happened between them.

When Misaki saw Mirio, her face dropped instantly, and she felt a cold sweat break out over her body.

"D-Dad...it's the ghost again..."

Misaki like a young teenager, got a little worried about Mirio, who wore a complex face when seeing the young girl not looking exactly thrilled about being in the presence of him, gave her a small wave, but she recoiled and held onto Kenji's arm tightly.

"A-Ah, don't worry Misaki, he's a good guy."

Misaki shuddered.

She wasn't sure what to think at this moment in time.

"I-I know...b-but he went through the wall, and disappeared...I know it's his Quirk...but like it's something I haven't seen before...I was worried about it, that's all...and in the end, I don't know how to think about him..."

Kenji chortled lightly, while petting the back of her head.

Nejire turned her head to the side, then smiled.

"Aah, Amajiki-chan, you have to have the heart of a lion, not a kitten~ Even though you're still human~" Nejire turned to the class, and gave a bright smile. "Though we've already met since I went to the camp with you, my name is Nejire Hado, and this is Tamaki Amajiki~ I'm supposed to talk about work studies, you guys have a really exciting time ahead of you~" Nejire leaned forward, and looked over the class. "I didn't get to spend much time asking questions at the camp, so I want to do that now~ How about a Q&A?"

[Eeeh…]

The class went silent as Nejire pointed her finger at Shoji.

"About the mask, do you wear it because you've got a cold or something? Or are you trying to look cool?"

"Well, I don't mind telling..."

"Ooh, Tsu-chan, how far have you gone with Kenji-kun huh~?"

Irina slapped her head while Tsuyu pointed a finger at herself.

"Well, actually Kenji-chan and I-"

"So, Hagakure-chan, you're alive, right? I heard you weren't for a while, so is your power resurrection or something?"

"I-I'm not a ghost! And I've never been dead!"

Nejire quickly turned towards Sakura, and grinned.

"So, Sakura-chan, your eyes are hearts huh~? It's just so lovely~"

"Thank you very much~"

Sakura grinned out, while Nejire jumped up and down, getting more excited while Irina came in behind her.

"Whoa there~" Irina sang out, hugging Nejire from behind. "Keep calm, remember~ Work studies~"

Nejire whizzed around, and cupped Irina's hands, pulling closer with a keen expression on.

"I know, I know~ But I'm so excited, I want to know more about them all~"

"We can learn more about them later on, don't worry~"

"Ooh yeah. We'll have the ultimate Q&A~"

Aizawa didn't look amused, turning towards Mirio who waved his right hand up and down.

"Anyway, I'm next!" Mirio pointed at the class, who just stared on curiously. "Well, are you not going to ask who I am?" No one said anything, so Mirio chortled, rubbing the back of his head. "Well, you must be in shock due to us random Third Years coming into your class as we have to discuss about a program you haven't heard about before. Well, you guys got your Hero Licence's as First Years, didn't you?" When no one said anything, Sakura raised her hand. "Aah, yes?"

"I was just wondering, what are we going to talk about exactly? I know it is Work Studies, but any particular topic? I'd like to take notes~"

Kenji was oddly proud of her for doing that.

Seeing her with a notebook out, and pen in hand, she seemed ready.

"Yes, yes, you're quite the studious one huh~? Don't worry, you wont need to take notes yet." His eyes went towards Kenji who felt the sudden shift in the air. "Now that you're all here, how about we all have a class vs myself kind of fight~ I'll take all of you on."

Tamaki looked dumbfounded, while Nejire tilted her neck, Irina recalled that Mirio wished to challenge Kenji, and recalled that he said he might fight the class, but she was still a little surprised that he was going to do it now.

"You want them to fight you now?"

Aizawa asked, so Mirio rubbed under his nose, nodding his head several times.

"If you want them to experience what we've experienced, this is the most rational way to do it, am I right?"

Aizawa let out a small sigh.

"Do whatever you want. We've got Hikari somewhere, she'll heal them if something happens."

"Great, then we'll rely on her talents too!"

Mirio cheered, while the class weren't exactly sure about what was going to happen.

But like that, they stood up, and began leaving the room, with Kenji asking Irina to watch over Eri, Naoto and Misaki for him, which she accepted quite easily.

However, as Kenji walked past, Mirio said "Don't disappoint now." causing Kenji to turn towards him inquisitively.

"Senpai?"

Mirio showed the peace sign, Kenji wondered what was going on, before he walked out.

Irina glanced between Mirio and the others, before exhaling.

"Anyway, lets get going everyone! Ready?"

"Are we going to see Ken-chan fight?"

Eri asked Irina, who nodded.

"Yup, we'll go and watch them~"

"Yes, I can't wait!"

Eri's more cheerful nature caused Irina to be happy, remembering when they first met, and how she was so lonely, but now she had others, and that to her was one of the most important things that they could go through.

---

Meanwhile Katsuki and Shoto walked through the school, and went towards the reception area, believing that one of them would be in trouble, or even both, though they wouldn't know why that would be for.

"Perhaps this is marriage training?"

Shoto spoke up, Katsuki glancing towards her in slight annoyance.

"I don't know about that, I mean I get it with me, but why would you be here? You aren't going to marry Ken before me, so don't even try anything stupid like that."

Shoto glanced at her, seeing that she was huffing about what was happening.

Shaking her head, she and Katsuki made it to the reception area, alnd saw Hikari stood there, looking quite happy about something.

"Hikari-sensei, we're here, so what's going on?"

At Katsuki's question, Hikari inched closer.

"Actually, I wanted to call you girls here because I've got a surprise for you both."

"What kind of surprise?"

Hikari gave a wide smile before announcing something to them that was quite surprising.

"What if I said that I could get you both work study sessions with someone that has been compared to some of the top ranked Pro's? I'm talking like, Number One status comparable here."

"...You're serious?"

Shoto wondered.

If it was Endeavour, Hikari would just say that, so she was intrigued.

"Yes, I'm quite serious."

"Heh, well I'd need someone that isn't a pushover."

"Ooh he isn't a pushover. I'd say that along with Endeavour, and of course that adorable boy Mirio-kun, he'd be in the position for the Number One Hero."

Katsuki and Shoto became even more intrigued by the second.

"So he's strong then..."

Shoto muttered, Hikari nodding her head.

"The catch is, I'd want you girls to devote some of your time to working on social skills."

"Social skills? My social skills are awesome thank you!"

Katsuki huffed out, while Shoto furrowed her eyebrows.

"Is it important?"

"Yes, of course it is. All Hero's have to be able to communicate with people. You can't just snap at them, and tell them what you want, or be cold from them. All Hero's go through a transitional period, like this. Even some people you might not expect to be so conversational have risen to the challenge to overcome that hurdle. It is true that you gained your Licences, it was partly because Kenji was there to make sure you were brought out of your shell more Shoto-chan and to hold back your more aggressive tendencies Kacchan." Shoto and Katsuki had to admit that was the case, and let out small breaths. "If you agree to this, then you'll get to grow stronger with the trainer I have in mind."

"And who is this trainer? Though I have a guess who it is."

Katsuki asked, as Hikari snapped her fingers.

The doors flung open, and stepped in Daisuke, overlooking Shoto and Katsuki.

Their faces turned upwards, even Shoto's face held a smile.

Because they knew he was strong. They had seen it for themselves before.

"This boy, my son, I'd say he's in the ranking to be Number One if he was a professional of course."

"I see...so, he'd teach us how to become stronger?"

Katsuki thought that this would be better and better.

Daisuke overlooked the pair of them, before turning to his Mother.

"So, when do I begin?"

"Now if you want? We'll sort the official documents out later on. But because the others in Class 1A are going to be doing a mock battle, I thought that this would be perfect to see where they stand and what you believe they could improve on."

Daisuke slowly nodded, turning back to the girls.

"If you come with me, I wont be easy on you. But trust me, you'll become stronger. My Mother's asked me to be the one to train you, because of your personal issues. I also have had issues like you girls in the past. Like hating my Father." Shoto's eyes went lower. "My anger getting the better of me." Katsuki looked mildly surprised. "At one point, I despised my Father for what he did to Kenji, my Mother, my sister and others. I also was quite angry in the past, I couldn't get my emotions in check. Fortunately, I had a good woman beside me to help me put things into perspective, and it wasn't someone, at the time, that I loved. Sometimes, you need someone that isn't emotionally attached to help you along. So, what do you say? Officially, you'll be working for the Wild Wild Pussycats with my wife, but you'll be training under me, we'll work on these issues you have that hold you back."

Shoto and Katsuki looked at one another.

Then they turned to Daisuke, with Katsuki puling closer.

"You could make me even stronger?"

"Yes, I'm certain of it."

Katsuki smirked.

"Then I'm game. Ken and Deku will be shocked when I come out of this, and kick both of their asses. As well as you Icy Hot. I don't need multiple Quirks to get what I need. Heh, if I become stronger, then...haha, Ken and I will become the strongest couple in the Hero's world!"

While Katsuki seemed happy enough, Shoto seemed to be undecided.

Hikari leaned closer, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Is something the matter sweetheart?"

Shoto attempted to articulate her thoughts the best that she could do.

"It is what was said about Father's, and how he also hated his Father. Is this an attempt to make me see Endeavour in a better light?"

Hikari thought that Shoto might believe that, and it made sense why she did believe that.

"No, this is about someone who understands the pain of hating ones Father. Like you connected with Kenji, how you both had hatred for your Father's, Daisuke also understands this pain and knows how to begin moving forward in whatever direction you desire. This isn't to tell you to forgive Endeavour-san, or is this saying you should even have to begin to understand him either. Endeavour-sans on his own path of attempting to atone for the mistakes of his past, so it's his place to show you what he's going to do, Daisuke's merely going to share his own experiences. If nothing else, he'll be able to make you stronger, and you want that, right? To refine your abilities. To improve what you're already good at. If anyone can do that, then it is Daisuke."

Shoto thought about what Hikari was saying and how to her at least, it made sense.

She bowed her head, then nodded a single time.

"Yes, I wish to study under you, Daisuke-san."

Daisuke lifted his head, clapping his hands together a single time.

"Great." His eyes turned to his Mother. "How hard can I actually go on them? Just so I have a reference."

"Hmmm...start at about 50 percent, then work your way up from there as you see fit."

"Understood." Daisuke turned, and began walking away. "Coming, girls?"

"Yeah, are you~?"

Tomoko appeared at the door, while showing a cute expression, with a hand by her mouth.

Katsuki pointed at her accusingly.

"You stay away from me! Every time you see me, you always hug me! Leave me alone!"

"Kacchan! Reunion! Lets cuddle again!"

Tomoko rushed towards Katsuki who paled.

However, just as she rushed past Daisuke, he gently embraced her, and held her close, causing her to blush lightly.

"Ooh Dai-kun, holding me tenderly like this, it makes me feel special~"

"Is that so? Then come with me Tomoko-chan, I'll make you feel...special later on."

"Ooh, makes me feel tingly~"

Daisuke led away the three women, and Hikari watched with a soft smile on her lips.

"If anyone can do it, then it's you Daisuke. I'll leave them in your capable hands." Hikari smiled, turning her back to the entrance, and pursed her lips. "I suppose it will be about that time, lets see how my baby does~"

Hikari skipped off down the corridor, to go and see the match between Mirio and Class 1A.

---

Hikari made it to the training area they were going to be fighting in, with the students all seemingly ready for the challenge. She saw her daughter stood off to the side, while she was conversing with Nejire, and holding onto the hand of Eri.

She pulled closer, and watched with intrigue.

"My, it seems that everyone is pumped."

"I know~ It's going to be so fun~"

Nejire cheered out, while Irina cracked her neck left and right.

"It's going to be a difficult battle, I've heard of the power of Mirio-kun, his ability to phase through objects, and even peoples Quirks. How could anyone get around that? The only thing I can think of is if someone caught him off guard, and even then, in this kind of setting, how would anyone catch him off guard? I could see it happening out in the open, but Mirio-kun isn't apart of the Big Three..." Nejire glanced at her with a smile. "...apart of the Fearsome Foursome-" Nejire nodded with a thumbs up. "-for nothing. I'm worried that, Mirio-kun said he wished to test Kenji, what if Kenji isn't able to do it…? I want to believe in him...but, I don't know how you'd get around that ability."

Hikari could understand that, Irina was simply worried for her brother, so she tried to reassure her.

"Yes, that's right dear. But remember, there is always a weakness that can be exploited. It depends on how well you hide that weakness can be the way your fight goes. It's something that Mirio-kun has been working on for ages now, the fine control over his power, and the way that he's built up his body. But remember as I said, Mirio-kun does have a weakness to his ability, and if Kenji's smart, he'll figure it out."

Irina looked troubled, but she was going to support her brother as hard as she could.

Eri then looked up to Hikari, and pulled on her skirt.

"Hikari-chan, is Ken-chan going to be okay?"

"Awww, you don't have to worry, Kenji's intelligent, and the other students aren't a slouch either. Just watch, it might be surprising on what happens next."

Eri still looked a little worried, and watched with the others as they took up a battle position.

Mirio then looked between all of the students, before nonchalantly moving to the battlefield himself.

They all knew they'd have to take him on, and some were sure it wouldn't be so bad, due to how they had taken on Villains before, though there were some more cautious people in the class, wondering what was going to happen next.

Kenji narrowed his eyes, seeing the calm expression on Mirio's face, he seemed as if he wasn't all that worried about fighting such a large group of people.

"Senpai, what are you thinking right now? Are you thinking about taking us down in one shot? I know some about his Quirk, but details are scarce at best. If I rush in, no doubt I'd be taken down without putting up much of a fight. Perhaps I should stay back and let him make the first move in this battle..."

While he thought it, Kirishima hardened his body and turned to Kenji who remained silent.

"Alright Kenji! Lets kick his ass!" Kenji didn't respond, which surprised Kirishima. "A-Ah, Kenji, you okay?"

Kenji blinked, turning to Kirishima and gently smiled.

"Yes, of course. I'm fine."

"You sure man? You seemed out of it."

Kenji shook his head.

"Just concentrating. He's going to be a tough opponent, we shouldn't underestimate him."

"But we've taken out like Villains before, if we all surround him, we should be fine, right?"

Sakura, who was stationed nearby, shook her head.

"We could never be certain Kirishima-kun. We don't know what talents he has, if he's able to fight with his fists, his Quirks full functions. As I was taught, never go into a fight believing numbers is going to be what it takes to win. Like thinking about All Might, he was the strongest, and multiple people attacked him at once, yet he took them down. Senpai here might be a force of nature that can one shot people immediately."

Kirishima was surprised when Sakura acted so serious, she rarely was, so when she was, it meant that this wouldn't be an ordinary enemy.

Izuku also saw that Kenji was studying Mirio, and thought about what he was thinking, why he hadn't activated his powers yet, it seemed like Kenji was studying more than actually attempting to fight at that moment.

But then he shook his head, and charged forward with the green electricity surrounding his form, while Kirishima called "Hey wait!" but Izuku didn't and watched as...Mirio's clothes suddenly began falling off his body.

"Holy crap! Cover the children's eyes!"

Irina cried out, covering both Naoto's, and Eri's eyes.

Hikari went to cover Misaki's, but by the time she did, she had already gotten a look, and it caused her to gasp at the sight.

"T-That's what a boys thingy looks like?! T-That is...I-I mean, s-so that's a th-thingy...a-and I erm...I-I...t-the ghost j-just got naked, a-and my f-face is feeling f-flushed and I-I erm...w-well...D-Dad, what should I t-think…? I-I eh...I-I...ooh..."

She blushed heavily who tried to rationalize it in her head, but due to her age it was difficult, and in the end, the embarrassment was a bit much for Misaki, who passed out in Hikari's arms.

"M-Misaki…?"

Kenji gave her a worried look, but Hikari waved her hand.

"Don't worry, she's fine~"

Kenji wasn't so sure about that, while he heard Jiro let out a small scream from behind him.

At the same time, Sakura tilted her head.

"Oh, so that's what one looks like...I've never seen one myself so..."

Sakura gave him inquisitive eyes, while he chortled awkwardly.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to lose all my clothes there haha~"

Sakura watched as Mirio apologized, but Izuku thought because of that, he was wide open, and swung his foot for the man's face...but as he did, the foot sailed through his body, phasing through it, while Kenji looked on questioning.

"His skills in using his Quirk is quite well. He switched between goofy and serious within an instant. He's definitely honed his ability, and I don't think that is the extent he can do either. At first glance, it looked like he phased his entire body...but I wonder if that was the case…?"

While Kenji thought about it, Izuku landed on the ground behind him, and Mirio turned with a smile adorning his face, while slipping his pants back on, to the relief of most of the people that were around.

"Went for the face huh?"

As he said it, Mina, Sero, and Aoyama all shoot off their attacks towards Mirio, but once more, it phased right through his body, and hitting a rocky formation, creating an explosion that blinded them for a few moments.

Kenji could feel Mirio's presence through the smoke…

But then it began disappearing all together.

"What…?"

While he said it, the smoke cleared, and no longer was Mirio there.

Kenji furrowed his eyebrows, sensing left and right, but he couldn't find him.

"Maybe his Quirk grants him some form of invisibility...no, it can't be. Though if he's allowing things to pass through him, then if light passed through him then technically..but, even if he was invisible, I'd still be able to sense him in this battle ground. But the simple fact is, I can't. He's vanished completely from this area."

As he thought it, Kenji suddenly felt Mirio behind him…

No, behind Jiro, who saw his...thing, and let out another scream.

"My God! Stay away from me!"

Jiro screamed, and ran away while Mirio snickered.

"My, it seems I get that reaction a lot."

Mirio chortled out, as Mina, Aoyama and Tsuyu thrusted their acid, laser, and tongue towards Mirio's form, but like the others, it went through his body, and with swiftness, he got Aoyama, but Kenji who was close by managed to pull Mina and Tsuyu out of the way, something they both blushed at, while Mirio was quite impressed.

"Kenji-chan, you helped us out ribbit. Thank you Kenji-chan."

"Yeah, our Hero~"

Mina sang out, as both girls kissed him on the cheek, his cheeks turned red at the kisses he received.

"I-I'm glad you're alright."

"Yes...but he seemed to be so fast, so I know I can't take him ribbit. I'll take an out here."

Tsuyu hopped over to the side, while Mina scratched the back of her head.

"Yeah, I'm totally not gonna be fighting in this, so I'll leave it to you babe~"

Mina winked at Kenji, and strolled off, not wanting to receive a punch to the gut.

Mirio, who had used his Quirk to slip under the ground, Kenji wasn't sure where he was, until he came out of the ground nearby Kaminari, Jiro, Shoji, and Momo.

Kenji tried to get there in time, but by the time he got near, his fist collided with Kaminari, Jiro and Shoji, but as his fist was going to hit Momo…

Naoto suddenly shot from the side, at lightning speed.

Even Izuku was blind sided, along with Hikari, Kenji and Irina, who was holding onto his eyes, he made it to Mirio just as his fist was about to hit Momo, when Naoto's hand came dangerously close to hitting Mirio's, so he had to abandon hitting Momo, and allowing his entire fist to become intangible to avoid damage from Naoto who had ejected poison out of his hands to touch Mirio's form.

"This kid is deceptively fast..."

Mirio thought, seeing Naoto's speed…

No he almost didn't.

He wasn't focusing on Naoto so that was a factor.

But the fact that he could actually do that, was fantastic in of itself, to force him to abandon his attack on someone.

"Stay away from Yaomomo!"

Tamaki looked surprised that Naoto, a child in his eyes, managed to even accomplish catching Mirio off guard enough that Mirio had to stop his attack on Momo.

Even Mirio was caught by surprise, the speed Naoto had was unnatural for a child his age, and he had to wonder how he managed to do that.

"Impressive little boy, you're quite skilled."

Naoto stood in the defence of Momo, who smiled lightly at the child.

"I-I wont let you hurt Yaomomo!"

Momo placed a hand over her heart, she felt really touched that Naoto was defending her like this.

Kenji also was surprised, he hadn't expected Naoto to suddenly shoot out like he did and defend Momo, it was almost as if his battle instincts had been turned on, he hadn't seen it before, but he did remember Daisuke telling him that Naoto had this way to switch between being his usual polite self, to being able to become a warrior.

Momo bent down towards Naoto, and gave him a hug.

"It seems that I wont be able to fight him, so I'll resign from here. Thank you Naoto-kun, you're amazing."

Naoto looked shy, as Momo walked off the battlefield holding onto Naoto's hand, knowing when she was beat.

As Mirio was distracted, Tokoyami thought that he'd be able to get the jump on him, so he allowed the Dark Shadows arms to extend from his own arms to strike him down, but Mirio's body went through the floor partly, before he turned and swiftly jumped at Tokoyami, embedding his hand into Tokoyami's torso, causing him to cough out bile, and he fell to the floor.

"Nice try sweetie, you did great. Love you~"

Irina cheered from the side, while Mirio rushed Mineta, and Sero, who couldn't do a thing. Even when they tried, they couldn't land any attack, and their bodies received a sharp blow to the stomach, and knocked them down as well.

Mirio took a pose, and announced "POWER!" as loud as he could, something that Irina smiled happily about, retrieving Tokoyami's body from the battle arena to help him out, while Kenji quickly picking up Jiro, and walked off to the side, quickly placing his hand on her upper body, and began sending in his Life Quirk.

She allowed a soft smile to appear on her face.

"T-Thanks Mikami-kun."

"No, I'm sorry I didn't get there fast enough."

Jiro chortled, lightly tapping his head with her knuckle.

"Don't worry about it, just doing this is enough for me. That guys a complete monster."

"I'd have to agree, his speed caught me off guard, if I wasn't near Tsu-chan and Mina-san, I'd not have gotten them in time."

"Then you better show a cool side Mikami-kun. Even if you don't win, I wanna see something cool."

Kenji softly smiled, nodding "Yes, I'll try my best Jiro-san." as he quickly healed her, and strolled back to the fight at hand.

"He took them out so quickly...even Papa was surprised...just who is this guy…?"

Sakura murmured while Kenji watched curiously.

He then sharpened his eyes for Kenji, and dashed forward, the young boy stuck out his hand and unleashed a blast for Mirio's torso…

But the Death energy went right through the body of the man, Kenji furrowing his eyebrows, as Mirio got close, and swung his fist for Kenji's upper body.

Kenji reacted quickly thanks to his training with Gigantomachia with his speed, and narrowly avoided the fist, something that made Mirio smile, as Kenji span around, and unleashed a death blast at close range, so close than his hand was inches from Mirio's face.

Mirio used his Quirk to allow the blast to go through it, while Kenji released a wave of Life from his other side, using it on the air, and shot off a Life sphere towards the upper body of Mirio who's head was shrouded with Death.

Because of his shrouding with Death, Mirio pulled his head to the side, to see the sphere heading for him, having got inches from his body, causing him to use his Quirk, and allow it to bypass through his body.

"Smart, he blinded me with his Death and attacked apart of my body that I couldn't see. Is he aware of the weakness of my Quirk? Or is it attempting to find that out right now? Either way, maybe Sir was right, he seems to be able to think quickly in the face of a strange new power. Hmmm, lets see where he can go from here..."

Mirio leaps away while Kenji returns to the ground, putting distance between him and Mirio.

Aizawa glanced at Hikari who smiled back towards him.

"This will help them see the gap between them. The abilities of Mirio Togata is quite the sight to see. The feats of training as hard as he could to attain this position. In my opinion, he's closest to being the Number One, even among the Hero's."

"I'd have to agree that he's a very capable young man, and he's certainly not shy about...well, flashing I guess~" Aizawa let out a small laugh to himself that he couldn't contain. "But yes, this is going to be a learning curve for all of the students to see the abilities of Togata-kun."

Aizawa nodded, watching the fight before them.

Mirio then turned towards the other students, and smirked slightly.

They regained their composure, and got ready to fight, as Mirio rushed towards them.

They were ready to fight, but he suddenly disappeared under the ground, surprising most.

"He can warp as well?"

Kirishima announced, while Izuku got himself ready.

"Even if he can warp around, he still has to make contact, so if we can, we should be able to counter him in that moment."

Kenji had to agree with what Izuku was saying, but knowing about it, and actually doing something about it were two different things.

Izuku exhaled slowly, while continuing to look around.

But then an idea came to his head, so he quickly turned, and thrust his foot out as Mirio's body came out of the ground.

"He predicted where I would be. That's pretty good!"

Mirio thought with peppiness as he thrusted an open palm at Izuku.

His hand went right through the leg of Izuku's, and headed right for his eyes, with his fingers pointed towards him.

"Now for my ultimate move! Blinder Touch Eyeball Crush!"

Izuku watched until the last possible second, before his eyes had to close, with Mirio's fingers going through Izuku's head, but then he twisted his body, and delivered a hard blow towards Izuku's upper body, causing him to cough out bile, and fall down to the ground with the intense blow he received.

"If Deku-kun had access to one hundred percent and had the speed All Might had...yes, I think the trick to fighting off Togata-senpai is speed, the right timing to strike because he has to make physical contact to get off an attack, that's when he's going to be open. But he's very difficult to time right, he's already aware of the weaknesses of his Quirk, and predicted Deku-kun would counter him like that...but, there might be away to force him to become tangible..."

Kenji looked on, and thought while Mirio landed on the ground, turning towards the others, as Iida called out "Midoriya-kun!" turning but received a devastating blow to the torso, knocking him down onto the ground.

Ochaco, Ojiro, Toru, and Sato attempted to fight back against the attack, but Mirio's speed was simply too much for them, and they each received hard blows to their torsos, knocking them out instantly, Kenji mentally apologizing to Toru as Hikari quickly got them off the battlefield.

When he came close to Sakura...he was surprised when she showed a good amount of speed, bending her body out of the way of the fist, and back flipped high into the air, pointing her hands towards him.

"Scatter Love Shot!"

Sakura shot off many of her pink energy arrows for Mirio, who rushed backwards, avoiding the first wave, and put a distance between them, Kirishima thought he saw a chance, and hardened his skin, rushing from behind Mirio, and thrust a fist towards his head…

But the fist went through his fist, Mirio turning towards him, before his body sank into the ground.

"D-Damn it!"

Kirishima didn't know where Mirio was, until he came shooting out of the ground before him, and received an uppercut to his chest, breaking through his hardening Quirk, and knocked him down as well, spinning around in place, and flexed his muscles, announcing "POWER!" once more, leaving only Kenji and Sakura left on the battlefield.

---

Mirio turned to the duo, seeing Sakura pulling closer to Kenji.

"Wow, you both managed to avoid my first attacks. It's been a while since someone did that, I'm quite impressed."

Kenji stood still, while Sakura cupped her hands together.

"Papa, this man is very fast, and his Quirk is quite deceptively strong."

"Ah, so you also think there is a weakness, do you Sakura?"

They whispered to each other, Sakura nodding while Mirio watched from a distance.

"Yes Papa, I believe that he does have a weakness, he only seems to be making parts of his body intangible. But why would he do that Papa?"

"We'll have to see about that. Keep your eyes on him, as I launch an attack."

"Yes Papa."

Sakura replied strongly, as Kenji took a step forward.

"Alright then Togata-senpai, lets do this!" Kenji slammed his hands onto the ground. "Over Life and Death, Rocky Terrain!"

Kenji sent his powers deep into the ground, and within seconds, Mirio was surprised when blunted pillars came out of the ground all around his form. They turned and twisted in different directions, he was even surprised by the speed, and activated his Quirk on various parts of his body.

But as they shot for him and ran through him, he held one leg in the air, and placed it on the side of a pillar, while his other foot left the ground, Sakura noticing that while Mirio kept moving through the pillars that had formed around him.

"Papa, when his feet are attacked, he seems to dodge by moving his legs instead of standing still, and used it as a stepping stone. If he could turn his entire body intangible, why would he even move his legs at all Papa?"

"Hmmmmm...he can make his entire body intangible...so, he has to have a reason why he keeps moving his legs, and feet out of the way without fully activating his Quirk while station on the ground..."

While they spoke, Mirio shot forward like a rampaging bullet.

His speed was quite good, and he got before both Kenji and Sakura, together, they fired off shots of Love and Death, Mirio forcing more of himself to become intangible, while Kenji rotated his hand, and began spewing more and more Death out of his hand, covering more than half of Mirio's body, and kept going lower and lower, with his Death smashing behind him, and taking out the wall, causing the others (who were beginning to recover from their punches thanks to Hikari fixing them up) to watch in shock at the level of power he released at Mirio.

"I-Is he trying to kill him?!"

Mineta yelled, but Momo shook her head.

"No, that's not it. He's testing something..."

As she murmured it, Irina focused her eyes, seeing Mirio's pants come off once more as the power reached his hip area, so she covered Eri's and Naoto's eyes, while Sakura rushed towards the left hand side to get a better look at what was happening.

Mirio grimaced as he moved his eyes to a safe area to see what was happening, knowing that he wouldn't be able to keep his Quirk activated like this, so he activated his entire Quirk, and he sunk through the ground, with Sakura announcing as such.

"He's gone!"

Kenji stopped his attack, remembering what happened with Izuku before, turning to see Mirio appearing there, so he channelled Death into his fist, while allowing his Life to shoot him through the air, closing the distance within three seconds, which immensely impressed Mirio.

"You're not bad Kenji-kun, I can see why Sir wishes for you to come to the office."

Mirio praised, as he allowed the fist to phase through his system, while thrusting his own hand towards Kenji's body. Phasing through his entire arm, Mirio's hand balled into a fist that was heading for his chest, and his fist landed a blow against Kenji's body, smashing him towards the ground.

Mirio looked on as he returned to the ground, seeing Kenji bouncing off the ground.

Tamaki from the side murmured "He doesn't know when to hold back." but then was surprised, when seeing Kenji getting to his feet, looking determined, Mirio held surprise on his face also.

"You got up after that punch? It knocked down your other classmates."

"It did hurt a good deal, but I've been hit by something that can destroy buildings easily."

Kenji replied, remembering when he had fought Gigantomachia, and how he had been smashed into the ground by him for several hours without pause, and while Mirio's punch did hurt, Kenji was used to taking physical punishment like that, so he was able to continue fighting.

"I see, then show me more Kenji-kun!"

Kenji flexes his hands, while Sakura points at him with her finger in a gun motion.

"Bang."

As soon as she said it, Kenji kicked at the ground and caused the area around Mirio to suddenly sink a few feet, Mirio's eyes widening as Sakura threw Kenji right at Mirio along with him boosting his own speed, his fist right at Mirio's face, two inches from his face, Mirio activated his Quirk and the fist phased through his head.

Kenji landed behind Mirio who span around and sent off a kick for Kenji's form. Turning quickly, Kenji raised a barrier...but Mirio's foot phased through it, which Kenji expected, but as soon as it came out of the other side of the barrier, and neared Kenji's form, Kenji released Death from the shield to surprise Mirio, who's foot was so close, he had no choice but to phase through Kenji's body once more, and thrust his fist for Kenji's face within a matter of seconds.

Kenji panted, pulling backwards, and blew himself away a good distance, while Sakura shot off a multitude of Love Arrows for Mirio, causing him to phase through each one, as she ran closer and closer, engaging in hand to hand combat with him.

"You're good Senpai, very fast!"

Sakura, flipped in the air as Mirio sent off his punch, and kicked downwards herself, but her foot went through his upper body, allowing Mirio to turn around, to grab her still airborne body…

But the moment his hand went to hit Sakura, the moment before his attack would land, Kenji got in the way, and received a blow to the face, causing the others to wince, but Mirio also winced, seeing that on Kenji's face, a good amount of Death had appeared, Mirio's eyes widening.

"He figured it out, very cleaver."

He thought to himself, as Kenji was flung into the ground, bouncing off said ground.

"Kenji-chan!"

Tsuyu went to move, but Hikari stopped her.

"Don't worry Tsu-chan, he's fine."

"But that punch knocked most of us down from our stomach's, he just received it to the face ribbit! He's been hit twice now ribbit!"

"Yes I know, but I have confidence in my son, keep watching."

Hikari watched as Kenji pulled himself out of the ground to Mirio's surprise, seeing the wound on his face, but Kenji ran his Life hand over the wound and healed it up quickly, while Sakura got close to him.

"Papa, thank you..."

"It's okay, I couldn't let my daughter get punched, could I?"

Sakura giggled sweetly while Kenji turned to Mirio, who looked at his hand that had been damaged by Death and his hand felt weaker from receiving the Death, but then Mirio showed an excited expression on his face.

"Amazing, you timed that perfectly." He showed his hand to the class which shocked them. "I can see that you are the son of two famous Hero's after all, even taking a blow to test your theory was a smart decision, and protecting a girl, always amazing in my books, you've earned my respect!" Kenji smiled thankfully. "So you've deduced my Quirk?"

"I've figured out some I believe."

Kenji and Sakura got into fighting positions, while Mirio did the same thing.

Nejire poked her fingers left and right on Irina's face who concentrated on the fight before her.

"Wow, it seems that Kenji-kun and Sakura-chan make a great duo, don't they Irina-chan? Even managing to injure Mirio-kun like that, I'm shocked~" Irina didn't answer, instead she seemed focused. "Irina-chan, something the matter?"

Irina glanced at Nejire, and brought out her grin.

"No, nothing at all. But, I feel as if I'm understanding more and more about Mirio-kun's Quirk. It indeed is powerful, but there is something that makes it weak against, if this was a video game, in their terms, an AOE kind of attacks where the entire area is encompassed, and I think Kenji's figured that out as well as Sakura. Heh, smart pair it seems."

Izuku, having heard what Irina said, raised an eyebrow.

"Irina-san, have you discovered something?"

"I'm not a hundred percent yet Izuku-kun, but don't you find it odd that Mirio-kun, always seems to move when an attack it goes for both of his feet? Why not just stay intangible if that was the case?"

Izuku furrowed his eyebrows as Mirio came out of the ground, and flipped backwards, as Kenji and Sakura stood together.

"Well, it could be just how he prefers to fight..."

Izuku posed his thoughts, which Irina agreed with.

"Perhaps it is, but I think that it's something to do with how his Quirk activates. I'm not completely sure, but something inside tells me that's how it is. Either way, lets watch Izuku-kun, lets watch if he always keeps his feet tangible unless he's phasing through the ground. But even with that potential weakness known, I'm still not sure how Kenji and Sakura are expecting to counter it. It's a small window of opportunity, but exploiting it...I'm not sure how they're going to use it to their advantage."

While Irina said that, Mirio showed his massive grin.

"Sir was right, you're very tactical it seems!"

"It's just the kind of life I've led until now, always having to discover what an opponent is truly after. But you Togata-senpai, you're fantastic. Your movements are never wasted, your strength is incredible, your ability to predict what your opponents are going to do, is simply amazing, I can see Sir Nighteye-san has trained you quite well. Isn't that right Sakura?"

Sakura nodded, showing a thumbs up.

"Yup, Senpai is very strong indeed! And he's also showing his thingy again~"

Mirio looked down and chortled awkwardly.

"Hahaha, I swear I don't do that on purpose."

Kenji shook his head.

"Don't worry, I also know what it is like to lose my clothes~ It's happened, quite often in the past, not for a little while...but, yeah, at the beginning...the Entrance Exam...the Sports Festival...yeah, it's happened a few times."

He glanced at Mina, remembering how her acid had taken his clothes off him more than a handful of times.

She stuck out her tongue while giving the peace sign, Kenji gave a bemused smile, before turning back to Mirio.

Mirio bowed his head happily, showcasing his innocent looking smile.

"You understand my plight very well it seems~"

"Yes, very well~"

Mirio and Kenji laughed, while those who hadn't lost their clothes like they had, couldn't understand the bond that was growing between them.

Sakura snapped her head left and right, before seeing Mirio's hands tightening, before he allowed his body to sink into the ground once more, Kenji pulling backwards, and concentrated as hard as he could, attempting to sense the moment Mirio came out of the ground.

"There!"

Kenji felt Mirio coming out, so Sakura had sent off a myriad of arrows of Love for Mirio, who didn't have a choice but to allow them to phase through.

He went to deactivate his Quirk, but as he allowed his eyes to see what was happening, he saw more of Kenji unleashing his Death Quirk, so he had to sink back down into the ground, predicting where Kenji and Sakura would be, but when he came out, the pair had appeared underneath him, and shot off their powers to encompass his entire body.

Mirio didn't have a choice but to remain intangible as he fell to the ground.

Just as he was about to land, Kenji coated the ground in a thick Death energy, while feeling the effects of using his Quirk this much, it was difficult keeping Mirio at bay like this, even reacting within less than a second was difficult.

But it paid off as Mirio was forced to phase through the ground, with Kenji not allowing him time to come tangible.

Because of that, when he came out of the ground with Kenji sensing the moment he did, Kenji saw Mirio having to unwillingly deactivate his Quirk, so he announced "Over Life and Death, Perfect Nephilim!" which outputted his power onto the maximum it could go, half his body glowing white, and half black, with black and white wings spread out behind him, using those wings he shot off through the air at Mirio, at blinding speeds.

Even Hikari was surprised at the speed, and as Mirio had to take in a breath, Kenji, within that split second, smashed his fist against Mirio's body, causing everyone's eyes to shoot open, as he unleashed his Death Quirk. Not enough to actually kill Mirio, but what he thought would be enough to debilitate him.

"He hit Mirio..."

Tamaki muttered, surprise within his voice.

"Yeah Kenji-kun! You did it!"

Nejire cheered, Irina smiling.

"Yes...he also figured it out...hehehe, well done Kenji. It took me a while, but...yeah, I understand how his Quirk works...and this right now is the best anyone could achieve...hitting him not once, but twice with your powers...yes, well done, Kenji."

Hikari smiled softly, while Eri and Naoto cheered "Yay!" again and again at seeing Kenji land a blow, (something that Irina allowed, while blocking off the naked Mirio from their vision) Izuku's face became brighter and brighter at seeing Kenji managing to do that.

Mirio was flung down to the ground, his face rather than angry or annoyed, was filled with happiness.

He could see what Sir had seen now.

He definitely knew Kenji had deduced his power, and how it operates.

And to him, that was an amazing feat.

Mirio hit the ground in a bounce, as Kenji returned to the ground, and deactivated his form, while looking towards Mirio.

"Even though I didn't hold back with my punch, his durability is quite great. Even with my Quirk, I wouldn't use it to kill Senpai at full power, but that kind of power has been enough to stop Stain when we were in fighting in the hospital, so his ability to take that is amazing, and he still seems able to fight as well. Honestly, he's probably able to take down Chisaki on his own, I could keep up with Chisaki, Senpai's ability to fight and predict opponents movements is simply outstanding, even adjusting to my close and long range attacks. No wonder he's Number One at this school, I really do admire Senpai."

Kenji thought, seeing only some moderate injuries from the punch, and saw some bleeding from the Death as well.

---

Mirio stood up, while Kenji got into a fighting form.

"Are we going again Senpai?"

Mirio waved his hand.

"I don't think it's necessary, I've seen what you can do, and I'm quite satisfied. Landing a hit on me like that, your attack doesn't disappoint either. If I received a good deal of them, then I'd probably go down. Even that attack then managed to shake me, and caused me to bleed a bit. So that's what it feels like receiving a blast of Death huh, it does live up to its name after all."

Kenji smiled softly, scratching the back of his head as he used his Quirk to heal Mirio's injury, it wasn't too bad, just a testament to how durable Mirio actually is.

"Thank you Senpai, it was difficult, you're definitely very fast, and precise with your Quirk. I can tell you've put in much effort to mastering the ability of your Quirk."

While they spoke, Misaki's eyes opened, looking around the area.

She glanced at Mirio, and saw his still naked form, her eyes widening once more.

"I-It's s-still t-there...d-dangling down a-and everything!" Kenji glanced at Misaki who turned pale. "W-What a-am I su-supposed to... he's n-naked...a naked g-ghost..."

"Yeah, but I'm usually naked."

Toru, who was used to being called a ghost, chimed in, Misaki glanced towards her, before turning back to Hikari, who giggled awkwardly, then she fainted into Hikari's arms once more, the stimulation being too much for the young girl.

"Hehehehe...seems like I've scared her with my willy. I tried to not show it, I swear. Sorry about that~"

Mirio apologized while Hikari waved her hand "Don't worry, she's going to be fine, just overly stimulated, that's all~" causing Mirio to let out a laugh.

Irina muttered "How adorable, calling his thing that~" while looking down at Tokoyami, as Mirio was tossed some pants and shirt to put on by Aizawa, which he did quickly, and walked back towards the other members of the class.

"Like, how did you do it though Kenji-kun? His Quirk is like amazing. Is it a duel Quirk like you or something? Because he liked warped around the battlefield, while phasing through attacks like he did!"

Mina wondered, but Mirio shook his head.

"No, my Quirk isn't a duel Quirk. Just a single one."

Nejire stuck up her hand.

"Ooh! Can I say it? Mirio-kun, please let me say it~" Mirio gave an awkward look. "His Quirk is called Permeation~"

"Hado, it's Mirio's turn right now. Let him explain his own power."

Tamaki said from the back, Sakura sliding in beside him, and gently patted his shoulder, but that caused Tamaki to become even more nervous, facing away from her, her face curling downwards while Irina gave her an encouraging thumbs up.

"That's right, Permeation. What you thought was warping, was as you guessed, an application of that." Nejire pouted, and pulled on Mirio's shirt, Mirio turning towards her apologetically. "Sorry about that."

"B-But, how do you warp like that?"

Mirio furrowed his eyebrows, turning towards Kenji for Izuku's answer.

"Why don't we ask you Kenji-kun? You seemed to have figured out my ability along with Sakura-san here."

"For the most part...I believe it has to do with your Permeation Quirk, which when activated fully, couldn't allow you to walk on the ground, as you'd sink in, right? That's why sometimes you'd dodge my attacks when they went for your legs, so you'd not fall into the earth, and still see what I was planning to do."

Izuku clapped his hands.

"Yes, that makes sense Ken-kun. So that's why you kept using your Quirk on the ground, and moving the ground around to your advantage."

Kenji lightly smiled as Mirio continued on.

"You see, when I deactivated my Quirk, my body which was underground, apparently things that have mass can't overlap, so I was repelled out of the ground. Other words, I just repelled to the surface in an instant. That's how my warp works. By changing the angle or pose I'm holding, I can aim where I'll be repelled out of."

"Sounds like a buggy game."

Mirio let out a wild laugh at Mina's comment.

"You could say that!"

"So, you could avoid all attacks, and move wherever you like within an instant." Tsuyu turned towards Kenji. "But Kenji-chan, how did you land a hit against him? Why didn't Senpai just phase through your attacks? He had been before. Even when he did have to move his legs to avoid falling through the earth, you still managed to hit him twice."

"Well, honestly, I wasn't sure for a while. His ability does seem amazing, and it is, but I also discovered that each time he had phased his body through the ground, he was breathing in deeper than most would."

Mirio glanced at Kenji, glad that he noticed that small detail that he had tried to keep hidden.

"Why would that matter though?"

Kirishima wondered, as Kenji glanced towards Mirio.

"It's as he said, everything goes through him. Even the air that he'd breathe. When he's intangible like that, he can't breathe, light doesn't pass through the retinas in his eyes, he can't hear the vibrations of anything since his eardrums would just let that pass through, basically turning him into a man that loses his senses, as that would all pass through his various body parts used for those things, isn't that right Senpai?"

Mirio let out a hearty laugh.

"Haha, so you had figured it out after all! Yes, what he's saying is true. The only sensation I feel when my entire body is affected by my Quirk is a sense of falling. My Quirk isn't strong, I made it strong by training. It's why Kenji-kun here kept piling on the pressure, he never let me leave my intangible state. It was pretty genius really. He was putting more and more pressure on me, and as he did, I was feeling more light headed due to my body not receiving the oxygen that it needed, so when I had to inhale, Kenji-kun put all he had into his speed, and delivered an attack on me in that moment. All in all, it was amazing to see him deduce that about my ability."

Kenji shook his head side to side.

"Even then Senpai, you've mastered your Quirk to an outstanding level, and that battle, we'd be playing cat and mouse, it would all come down to who could last the longest, either my stamina, or your ability to stay intangible. Even then, while I was trying to keep you at bay, you never let up for a second, always attacking me, one slip up, and it could have spelled the end for me."

Kenji lightly smiled as Sakura waved her hands up and down.

"Totally, Kenji-kun managed to protect me, and hit Senpai at the same time. Because, Senpai has to become tangible to hit his target. The instant his hand was making contact with Kenji-kun's cheek, Kenji-kun unleashed his Quirk, that's how he was able to get off a hit like he did~"

Kenji smiled at Sakura who looked quite pleased with herself.

Mirio looked at the other students.

"Before I did begin my training with Sir, I was behind everyone else. In no time, I'd dropped to dead last. I dropped my clothes too."

Kenji chortled, knowing that feeling very well.

Mirio then continued while allowing his fight to tighten.

"In order to get to the top with this Quirk, I couldn't just stay behind. So I had to rely on predictions! I had to think faster than those around me, and it seems Kenji-kun also is the same! Well, knowing about his life and what he's also been through, it makes sense why he's able to think so quickly on his feet. I had to be tricky. Above all, I had to predict what would happen next! And what made those predictions possible was experience! I built my predictions on what I knew! It ended up being long, but that's why I wanted to fight you all! I wanted to show you through experience rather than words! In our work studies, we're not guests. We're treated as one of the sidekicks, and as Pro's! That's really scary. Pro's will sometimes end up watching people die. But those painful and scary things you'll go through, all of them are first rate experiences you wouldn't be able to have at school! I changed the experience I got from work studies into power, and took the top spot! That's why, I think it's something you should do, even if you're scared first years!"

Izuku took those words to heart, and began thinking of his own future as well as how he was going to turn that into power.

Members of the class began to clap, and thought Mirio did quite a well done speech, while Misaki opened her eyes once more, and looked around.

When she saw Mirio, he smiled softly towards her, causing her to have a timid smile back.

Mirio then bent down towards Kenji.

"Anyway, it's time to go and see Sir, are you ready?"

Kenji nodded slowly.

"Yes, I'm ready Senpai."

Mirio turned to Hikari.

"I'm gonna be taking him now, is that fine?"

"Sure, say hello to Sir-chan for me."

"Haha, of course~"

Kenji spoke to Eri, Naoto, Misaki and Sakura, and promised he'd be back later on, then he disappeared with Mirio.

Irina glanced at Izuku, before strolling over.

"Hey Izuku-kun, how do you feel about what Mirio-kun just said?"

"A-Ah yes, I thought that it was quite inspirational!"

"Does it remind you of anything?" Izuku drew a blank, as Irina poked his cheek, causing him to blush lightly. "I think he was quite like you, don't you think? Someone who started dead last, slowly maturing and growing into a respectable and capable young man."

"W-Well...yes...maybe he was..."

"He reached the top." Irina winked, and patted his head. "Perhaps you will one day too. Remember what happened today. If you had your ability as long as Kenji had, you could have also been right there in the thick of things and keeping up with Mirio-kun. Your speed could have allowed you land a hit on him."

"Do you think so…?"

He said with a sheepish smile, Irina giggled, and gently embraced him, to the surprise of Ochaco, who developed a pout when seeing Izuku's body being pushed against Irina's assets, and seeing his cheeks burn red.

"I know so. Let this be an incentive, you have what it takes, you can begin using your powers even more from here on out~ I saw you when you saw Mirio-kun appearing behind you. What he said about prediction, you did that, you were deducing in the middle of battle. It was great, Izuku-kun~"

"Y-Yes, I'll try my best Senpai!"

Irina let out a cute giggle, and continued to pet his head.

"Good, I'm sure you'll be able to do it~"

Nejire jumped over, and hugged Irina tightly.

"Irina-chan! Can I braid your lovely hair~?"

"Braiding my hair? Sure, I don't mind."

Eri looked between them, then held up a strand of her own hair.

"Braiding…?"

"Haha, Eri-chan, wanna braid your hair too?"

"Yes...I want to."

Irina petted her head, turning to Misaki who smiled softly, then to Sakura happily.

"How about you Misaki-chan? Sakura-chan?"

"Ooh me! I'd love to do it!"

Sakura proudly announced, while Misaki nodded without saying anything.

"Great, then lets get going~"

Irina took the girls that were young with her and Nejire, while Hikari smiled on at the sight while stretching her arms.

"Momo-chan, if you have time, want to go over a few things for your own work studies with me?"

Momo immediately pulled forward.

"Y-Yes, thank you very much!"

"Hehe, no problem dear~" Hikari whizzed around, and took Naoto's hand. "Come along Naoto-kun~"

"Y-Yes."

Momo followed Hikari out of the room, while Aizawa rounded up the other students to go about their day, while wondering what Kenji was doing with Mirio.

---

Kenji walked with Mirio, and had taken a train to a different city to go towards Nighteye's agency. His building looked clean as far as Kenji could see, while Mirio saw that Kenji hadn't said anything in awhile.

"Is something wrong?"

"A-Ah, no Senpai. I'm just replaying the match we had in my head, that's all."

"Haha, so you're like that huh. Well, that's something Sir would expect to see, analyzing the situation at hand. I was told you were capable, and honestly, that fight today was a test to see how capable you were."

"I-I see, did I pass?"

Mirio let out a low chuckle.

"I'd say yes. I was amazed by your skills, and how you tried to protect your comrades. Also, that technique you used, that Perfect Nephilim form, I thought it was quite cool~" Kenji smiled softly, as they walked through the building. "So, how does it work?"

"Basically, it allows me to use the full output of my Death Quirk. Usually, I have to limit the amount of power to not shut down my body. Even now, there are limits to the amount I can put out. My Life side compensates for that, but that also drains my stamina. It's trying to balance the two, allowing all of my Death powers to shine, while keeping my body from shutting down with my Life side, and because it is shutting down my body so fast, my Life side is draining my stamina so quickly. When I first achieved it, I could only do it for about a minute before I'd be exhausted. But now, I'd probably be able to hold it for two, perhaps even three minutes if I pushed it, but it would leave me exhausted."

Mirio nodded while they continued moving through the building.

"Aah, so that's why you didn't use it right off the bat, that makes sense to me now. When I first saw the insane speed it had, I was curious why you didn't just stay in that form, but now hearing the explanation, it's a strong form, but the drawbacks could potentially end your fighting limit, and leave you open to counter attacks."

"Exactly Senpai, I had to wait for the moment that I had the best chances to strike you down. I'm working on slipping in and out of that form within seconds, so it gives me the boost of speed and power I need, then I can drop it, so I can continue fighting if need be."

Mirio showed a cheerful smile.

"Hahaha, you are pretty smart after all~ We all have limits with our abilities, so using it like that is a pretty good idea. I'll help you if you like? I can phase through your attacks, so I'd help you unleashing your powers, while also switching between forms."

"Aah, Senpai! That would be great, thank you!"

Mirio smiled softly, he was growing to like Kenji quite a bit, and how down to earth he was, also the respect he had for Mirio and others of authority was obvious which Mirio did appreciate quite a bit.

Going up a flight of stairs, they arrived at the location, and knocked on the door.

[Come.]

Sir's voice came from the other side, so Mirio entered the room while Kenji hung back for a frew moments, and saw Sir Nighteye sat down on a chair near a bunch of monitors. Mirio gave a salute.

"Sir, I've brought him! I've also tested him myself, and he managed to land a hit on me twice! I was quite impressed with his deduction abilities, along with his combat abilities. I could see areas that would need improvement, but all in all, he'd give a good number of Pro's a run for their money!"

Sir raised an eyebrow.

"Is that so? Then I'm quite impressed." Sir turned to Kenji. "Come in."

"Yes, thank you Sir-san."

He walked into the room fully, and sat down near Mirio.

Sir looked between the two of them, before continuing.

"So, as you know Mikami, about the investigation of Kai Chisaki. Before we begin, remember that you cannot discuss this with those who aren't involved, understood? It could compromise the mission otherwise."

"Yes, I understand."

Nighteye inclined his neck before continuing.

"We've been receiving reports that he's been calling out to the League, and they have responded. However, without being able to follow one of his subordinates or him, himself due to how careful he is, we cannot be sure when this meeting will take place. However, we do know from an intelligence we have received that he's wishing to form an alliance with the League."

"But, for what purpose?"

Sir Nighteye placed his fingers together.

"We're currently not sure why, but we do know, thanks to the investigation your brother has been doing along with my own, that Kai Chisaki wishes to expand the current operation he's doing. I recall him telling me about that young girl that had been rescued, Eri, we believe he's weaponized her blood...no, we're almost certain of it."

"If he's weaponized it, what can we do?"

"That's a good question. Kai Chisaki, as far as we can tell, is a man that's willing to do things under the radar, he isn't flashy. But we do know a few of his goals, one of them being that girl, Eri, and then your own sister, Irina. But right now, I wish to know what he intends to do with this blood."

Kenji could understand that.

He wished that he also knew what Chisaki intended to do with the blood of Eri's.

Kenji saw Mirio's hands tightening, and he felt as if he was angered by something.

"Senpai, are you okay?"

"Yes...I was just thinking about what horrors Chisaki had put that sweet little girl through, and how he had tormented Irina-chan. I've met both of them, and they're both lovely girls, and to think this man has put them through any kind of trauma sickens me."

"Yes...it is a horrible situation, and it makes me also hate Chisaki for what he's done. He's a monster that needs to be put behind bars."

Mirio agreed while nodding his head, though Kenji could still feel some anger within him, it just told Kenji that he was a rather passionate man.

Sir Nighteye then furrows his eyebrows, looking Kenji up and down.

"Mikami, you've been with the League before. What are the chances that they would form an alliance with the Shie Hassaikai?"

Kenji narrowed his brows.

"That's a good question. I'd have to say that it's a good percent that they could form a collaboration together. However, the League and Chisaki have had meetings in the past. My sister explained to me once that Chisaki had kidnapped her, and had angered the League. So that might hinder their groups forming. However, they also could come together for a common goal, depending on what Chisaki is truly making, and what the League are after."

"Yes...ignoring that for the moment, our main priority is to place you on a team with Mirio, and myself, to do some searching. With your Life Quirk, even if they're hiding in plain sight, you'd be able to sense their location, correct?"

"If I was close enough then yes I'd be able to sense their location even if they were within a building, even a good distance away."

"Good, we'll begin as soon as tomorrow. We have different locations that we need to be at. But don't forget, this is merely an attempt to find them, nothing more. If we find them before the day I plan to have a meeting with a number of Hero's, then we'll plan from there. However, if we cannot locate them, then we'll spread out over Japan. We believe that he's got many contacts through the Underworld. Though the group he's apart of is small, we believe he's been connecting with other Villain groups."

"Understood, Nighteye-san."

Mirio patted Kenji on the back.

"Hahaha! Don't worry, we'll succeed together!"

Kenji smiled happily at Mirio, before turning towards Sir Nighteye once more.

"Nighteye-san, Chisaki has two members of his elite group that have attempted to kill me at one point, a man…his name is Kendo Rappa, and another one...I can't remember if his name was mentioned, but the former was quite physically strong, and had a Quirk that rotated his shoulders at extreme speeds, and the other could form barriers, that felt like as if they were made of steel."

Nighteye ran a hand over his hair, taking in the information that Kenji was saying.

"I see, that's useful information to know. While speaking of useful information, we have reasons to believe that the woman known as Yami, might also be involved."

Kenji let out a small breath while Mirio raised an eyebrow.

"Yami, you mean that scary woman who has a power similar to Kenji-kun's here?"

Nighteye nodded, and pulled up a file on a nearby computer screen.

The image was that of Yami meeting someone who was wearing a bird mask. Kenji couldn't tell if it was Chisaki or not, but the mask fit the theme of what Chisaki was all about.

"This information hasn't been shared to anyone else yet, but late last night, this image was taken." Kenji looked over the image while Nighteye continued. "I received this image secretly, but the Hero that took this image, was spotted."

"Ooh God..."

Kenji realized what Nighteye was going to say, so he confirmed it.

"That Hero, is now deceased. However, we don't believe that Yami is aware of this image being sent. The Hero, before they died, made sure the evidence wasn't retrievable."

Mirio looked on at the image, and shook his head.

"She looks like a gentle sweet young woman as well. It's hard to believe someone like her could be a cold blooded murderer."

"She's very deceptively strong, Mirio. I'm worried about her, if she's involved then it could become dangerous, even more than Chisaki, this woman is a monster capable of tangling with All Might, and with him out of the picture, there aren't many people that could tangle with her."

"Nighteye-san, even though Yami is involved, during the incident at the hospital, she didn't have the ability to fight it seemed. I'm not sure what her current circumstances are, but from what I witnessed, she couldn't fight for long."

"So, she's been hindered then?"

Kenji nodded.

"I believe so."

"If that's the case, then that's very good for our side. However, with her involved, we can't turn down the possibility that she also has Nomu's, those creatures, working together with Chisaki."

"But, what would she get out of it? From what I've heard, she's probably stronger than Chisaki, so why not just kill him and take what she wants?"

Mirio asked, Nighteye didn't know how to answer.

"That's what we intend to find out. That woman's agenda is always a mystery. She would probably kill him if she could, perhaps there's something he has that she wishes for and until she gets it, she's not going to kill him. However, we believe this is separate from the League."

Kenji nodded.

"Yes, from what I've been told, she's currently operating away from the League and doing things by herself. Well, with the help from her damn doctor as well, and Stain's also with the group."

Nighteye inclines his head.

"Yes, that's what I've also been told. Stain is also with her right now...we can't rule out that he also could be involved." While Nighteye said that, he looked between the two boys, seeing their resolve before continuing. "For now, we'll have to go into the situation while thinking about the worst kind of scenario. If he does in fact end up doing that, it is imperative that you and Mirio work together, especially if Yami is involved, even Stain. You two are going to be working on your teamwork. Long range distraction and then Mirio going in quick and heavy while Mikami supports from behind, and also with your skills in healing, it should come in useful for our allies in case we receive injuries."

"I understand!" Mirio cheered, looking towards Kenji. "We'll be able to become a great team, don't you think?"

"Y-Yes Senpai, I'll do my best to support you."

Mirio liked Kenji's attitude, quite positive and determined.

"Good spirit! Then lets get to work immediately, if you're up for it?"

"Yes, I'm ready anytime Senpai!"

Sir Nighteye looked on curiously, before kneading his fingers together.

"Good, it seems that we'll come along nicely."

Kenji exhaled slowly, seeing Nighteye was relaxing a little bit, so he thought that this might be the best time to ask him something, especially with the situation that currently is happening.

"Nighteye-san, if you're thinking about having more man power, then how about Izuku Midoriya-kun? His strength and speed are great along with analytical ability to deduce his opponents fighting style and how to get around it, I'd say he's one of the top in my class, and we have had teamwork experience in the past, so we'd be able to work off one another quite well, and I'm sure he'd be up for it."

Mirio inclined his head, carrying on after Kenji.

"I'd have to agree Sir, he was able to predict my movements with only witnessing my attacks for a short time. He is quite talented. And if Mikami thinks he'd be able to work well with him, then it couldn't hurt having two talented individuals that already have good teamwork."

Suddenly, Sir Nighteye became more distant, and merely said "I'll have to think about it." before excusing himself, leaving a baffled Kenji and Mirio, who looked to one another.

"What was that about?"

Kenji asked Mirio who shrugged his shoulders.

"I have no idea, but Sir is always a bit peculiar on who he takes into his agency. He was watching you for a while, you know?"

"He was…?"

"Yeah, ever since you joined U.A I believe. He and your Mother talked a few times."

Kenji didn't have a clue.

"I-I see...well, I hope he does consider Deku-kun, he'd be a great ally to have."

"Yes, I'd also have to agree. Today, I was testing you, but I was surprised by him, and Sakura-san as well. But either way, I was thinking about how you fought today, it seems that you like to analyse your opponents and find a weakness, is that right?"

"I'd say so yes Senpai."

"Haha, you remind me Tamaki with how you fight and how you're able to chain together different kind of attacks, and your ability to deduce what's the best course of action~"

"You remind me Deku-kun, speaking to you is as if I've speaking to him right now. You give off a similar vibe, you know?"

Kenji remarked, as that's how they felt about each other.

Mirio stood up, rotating his shoulder, and walked forward.

"Ready to begin?"

"Yes, Senpai! Leave it to me! I'll support you!"

"Good, then I'm counting on you!"

Kenji smiled happily, and got to his feet, ready to begin the training with Mirio, and combining their abilities together.

He honestly was quite happy to be involved with the investigation.

Though he had to wonder why Nighteye seemed to be distant when Izuku was mentioned.

However, while he was training with Mirio, he received a message that simply said "Meet me tonight about Overhaul." Kenji exhaled, wondering what Tomura wished for regarding him, but if he could get some more information for Nighteye, then he'd try his best.

---

Yami strolled into a hospital room, and saw Stain laying on the bed. Her eyes went over his body, before she pulled closer towards the man.

"How are you feeling Stain?"

Stain lifted his body off the bed, and flexed his arms, tightening his hands.

"I feel good...I feel better than before, I feel strong. It seems what you did has done the trick."

Yami's face curled upwards.

"Yes, that's good, isn't it Stain? Daruma is quite a miracle worker when he needs to be." Yami leaned forward, a keen smile on her face. "So, now that you're feeling better, how about doing something for me?"

Stain raised an eyebrow in intrigue.

"What do you want doing?"

Though he was intrigued, he also wasn't exactly thrilled about some of the activities that she was currently involved in.

"Ooh, you know, the usual. Those bad Pro Hero's that you hate so much are causing trouble again. How about going to kill them for me?"

Stain gained a smirk on his lips.

"If it's killing Pro Hero's that are unworthy, then count me in."

"Good, because I've got the perfect targets." Yami sat down on the bed, and showed the targets to Stain, who overlooked them. "How about it?"

"Hmmm, I'll need more information on them before I judge if they're worthy enough to stay alive, or not."

Yami smiled happily.

"Naturally, I thought you'd say that. Do all the investigating you need to do. But those Hero's, I can tell you, aren't true Hero's like you believe in."

"Forgive me if I can't believe everything you say, you aren't the most trustworthy person in the world."

Yami let out a laugh.

"Perhaps. But I'm sure we'll be able to come to a working agreement. For both our benefits."

"Right."

"Good, because I'm also beginning to make some moves, and first of all, it has to do with the slaying of those Hero's."

Yami smiled, standing up off the bed, and began walking away.

A dirty smirk spread across her face as she walked away.

Whatever she was up to, Stain wasn't interested.

Though when he overlooked the information he had, he had to admit that he was surprised by it.

End chapter!

So, Katsuki and Shoto are going to be training with Daisuke for a little while, helping them hone their abilities among other things with their personal issues, as much as he can, we'll see more of what he was doing with them in the coming chapters.

The Big Three arrived, and Sakura seems to wish to bring Tamaki out of his shell more, Nejire wanting to make them the Fearsome Foursome with the inclusion of Irina while Irina isn't so sure about that yet since she wishes to prove herself, while Mirio tested the class to a fight.

Mirio fought off the class, while Naoto jumped in by instinct to protect Momo, and also showing despite his age that he's pretty agile, Misaki got a fright when she saw Mirio naked, a few times, Kenji could emphasize with him losing his clothing since it's happened to him in the past.

Challenging Kenji and Sakura, after they managed to dodge his first attack, Kenji deducing the abilities of Mirio as they fought with Sakura also doing the same thing showing her intelligent side, but even with deducing it, Kenji had a difficult time in the fight due to the sheer experience Mirio had along with his strength, but thanks to his past experiences fighting Stain, Gigantomachia and the likes, he managed to time his attacks perfectly, and begin pressuring Mirio, and managed to land a few attacks on him, while also complimenting Mirio and his training, along with his durable body that managed to tank an attack that left Stain with a damaged body a few chapters ago, showcasing how strong Mirio was, and they ended on good terms, becoming friends even.

Then Kenji and Mirio went to the Nighteye office, and spoke about the current situation, planning to capture Chisaki, while also being informed that Yami's doing some dealings with Chisaki, or at least one of the members of Chisaki's. What that will entail, we'll discover in the future! While also suggesting about Izuku joining in, it seems that Nighteye is apprehensive about it, but he'll get involved quite soon.

And then at the end, it seems that Yami's got Stain a new target, but who that will be, might be quite surprising.

Also, like last time, this story will be updated in two weeks on the 23rd, hopefully after Christmas I'll get back to normal weekly updates, just got a lot going on in my personal life, which leaves me with less time to write, but after Christmas, it should be getting back to normal.

Well, until next time, thanks for reading!
