Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

StrikerTj; I'm glad you find it funny~ Not been feeling well, so it's slowed down my writing a bit, but here's the chapter.

D N Works; Sort of yeah. Yeah, it's surprising alright. She doesn't, she's playing a part, and keeping up pretenses. Yeah, we'll have to wait and see about that. And thanks!

Argo Devilian; Thanks glad you like the story, and I hope it gets better for you.

ShadowUzumaki55; Haha, he surely is yeah. He wasn't no, she can be quite physically strong if she needs to be. He does yeah, Kenji and Mirio are becoming good friends. Yeah, he didn't want the power back then, and he wouldn't take it from Izuku either now. And yeah, he found out about All Might's possible death. Glad that you liked it, and yeah, it seems that he's very much after Irina alright. We'll have to see how it ends.

KarmaChaos5; He surely did yeah, Daisuke doesn't hold back. In her way, Sakura is giving as much assistance as she could do. Yeah, it's gonna be a bit different than how it was in the episode, but there's gonna be a few interviews that's gonna play a bit of a role later down the line. He did yeah, Kenji can see a lot of potential within Izuku and shared as much with Sir Nighteye. Yup, he's not lost his arm here. She did yeah, we'll see more about why she attacked him in the future.

Chiaki Forever; He is yeah, lets hope that he can! Haha, Sakura and her hammer, it might make future appearances. I am yeah, a little different to canon, and it'll carry over a bit into a future part of the story. He did yeah, he genuinely believes that Izuku is the right choice. Yup, Mirio and Kenji are becoming better friends. He didn't lose his arm here thanks to Kenji's intervention. It could do yeah, we'll see how it goes on. She is yeah, and making another move as well.

Infinite Love 14; Thanks for the suggestions! She could join Fatgum, she'd fit in rather well with him.

Silver crow; Thanks very much! Glad you liked the training. Sakura's helping him train. Mina's getting quite excited, and is gonna show some excitement this chapter. The interviews will be a bit different than how it was portrayed in the episode. It seems Nighteye has quite the thought process huh. Yup, he and Mirio are becoming quite good friends. He is yeah, Irina's gonna be helping him out. Kenji did yeah, it seems that he is quite knowledgeable about those things. We'll be seeing a final battle between them in the future. Maybe his arm will heal yeah. Yami's gonna be having some more fun in this chapter. It wont be Shin's ability. He'd want them to be friends yeah. They might be like that. He could be his son. That looks pretty cool. It's a canon fruit, that's all I can say, and one I think had quite a bit of potential. A sword wouldn't be so bad. The pokemon ideas look pretty good, I like Cynthia as well. Yeah they could be in the pairing. Mimikyu is nice, so yeah perhaps. I've not read the manga of pokemon and that does sound depressing. It would be cool if he encountered some of them. Those being his grandparents sounds good. No worries haha~

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

Interviews!

Walking over to her leaders office, Chitose seemed to be a bit nervous about something.

She kept mumbling to herself, about doing something important, and when she bypassed Himiko who was whistling within the office, Himiko let out a small laugh.

"What's wrong with you anyway? You don't seem pleased."

Chitose's eyes shot for Himiko as she casually continued to whistle.

"If you must know, I'm going to be the one who is interviewing the Classes of U.A tomorrow. It is going to be a difficult task, I have to even make sure that the best of them are going to be represented. Alright?"

Himiko shrugged, so Chitose moved forward.

She went before Reaper, who was reading over a few reports.

"Sir, about tomorrow, I feel as if I'm going to be..."

"You're worried about, interviewing people? I thought that it was something you loved to do."

Chitose showed a wide smile, as Himiko rolled her eyes.

"Of course it is something I'm highly passionate about. I just want to make sure that I do a good job and have everyone involved is put into a good light. I've been asked to ask some questions, to reveal if there's anything going on in U.A, ever since the incident at Kamino with the kidnapping, the trust for U.A has declined in certain areas."

"Well, do what comes naturally to you. I'm sure you're going to do fine. The U.A's students will show you how well it is functioning."

The softer touch to his voice was something that she wasn't used to.

Of course Reaper was always kind to those in his group.

But ever since the coma he was in, it seemed as if he had allowed some of his barriers to come down and let a few more people close to him personally.

"Yes, I hope that I do. Haha, I'll even be interviewing your son. Is that alright with you?"

"I'm sure you'll be fair and not print anything negative about my son. So go wild."

Chitose showed a smile, and glanced to Himiko who raised an eyebrow.

"By the way, Himiko-chan, if you also wish to be interviewed, I'd like the love story between you and Kenji-kun. It could be a good way to give the article an even bigger hit than it already is going to be."

Himiko let out a small laugh.

"Yeah sure, I'm gonna tell you alright."

"You don't have to be like that Himiko-chan. All I wanted was the scoop. You're even keeping how you and Kenji-kun even met close to your chest, aren't you?"

"Naturally, that's for me and him to know about after all. It's our private little secret."

Chitose folded her arms.

"It would be nice to at least know what's going on."

"Do your research and when you find out something's, I might tell you the rest. Isn't that what a reporter does~? Finding out their own research? If I told you everything, then it wouldn't be fun for you. Right?"

Chitose thought that Himiko might have a point, though she didn't like the way that it was being spoken about.

But she ignored that for the moment and focused on what she had to do next, and that was to interview the school itself.

After the ordeal with Chisaki, and then seeing Nighteye being put behind him for the moment, Kenji returned to the dorms, he was suddenly shocked when he saw that people were rushing around the area as if they were getting ready for something.

He recalled that there was going to be some kind of reporter coming in the morning, he wasn't sure who that person was though and he honestly didn't really care all that much, he hadn't ever had a good rapport with the media in the first place.

While looking around, he saw that Sakura was getting into it, and was already practicing her interview skills along with Misaki, Momo and Mina were speaking about it together, Toru had gotten Tsuyu quite excited about it, even Naoto seemed to be happy about it though Kenji wasn't sure if he was going to be interviewed about it or not.

Eventually, he saw Izuku sitting by himself, so he strolled forward, and placed himself down next to him.

"Hey, Deku-kun."

"Hey, Ken-kun! I-I got a call from Sir Nighteye today! I was so surprised, I thought that it was a prank at first, but when I found out that it was real, I became so happy!"

Kenji smiled softly, glad that Nighteye had at least considered doing a good thing.

"Is that so? Then I guess you're seeing him soon."

Izuku inclined his neck in agreement.

"Yes, that's right. Thank you Ken-kun, Sir Nighteye said that you recommended me strongly."

Kenji scratched his cheek sheepishly.

"Well...something like that. I just thought that you'd have the best kind of opportunity."

Kenji didn't want to reveal all, he didn't know how he'd break the news about All Might to Izuku. Since Izuku was someone that cared a lot for All Might, he was his Hero, hearing the news of his death was going to be quite difficult for him.

"Either way, thank you Ken-kun. If all goes well, we'll be working together!"

"Haha, I'm sure you and Sir-sensei will have a lot to bond over, he does seem to really be a fan of All Might, and his office is decorated with the stuff that you also have in your room. Since I'm going tomorrow with Mirio-senpai, how about we go together?"

Izuku blushed with slight embarrassment that he did indeed have a lot of things in his room that were All Might centric, and if Sir Nighteye also had the same thing, then he thought that they'd probably would get on rather well.

"Y-Yes, I wouldn't mind that! Lets go together!"

Kenji chortled happily as Izuku seemed to be quite excited.

He then noticed that more of the students were going quite wild.

"They seem to be in high spirits."

Kenji brought up to Izuku who chuckled awkwardly.

"It's the person that's going to be interviewing us. It seems that everyone wishes to be interviewed. Except for one person though." Kenji raised an eyebrow, as Izuku pointed to the corner, and saw Katsuki frowning, with Eri sat down beside her. "Kacchan said that it's completely useless to be interviewed."

"Aah, I see. Kacchan might not like it after all~"

Izuku let out a small laugh while Kenji saw how the other students seemed to be so happy.

Kenji let out an awkward laugh, and then bowed his head.

"I'll go and speak to her."

Kenji parted ways with Izuku, and got beside Katsuki.

"Ken-chan's back!"

"Hey Eri-chan~" Eri showed a wide smile and held onto Kenji's hand as he greeted her kindly, sitting down beside Katsuki. "What's wrong Kacchan?"

"Being interviewed, these morons are getting too hyper about it. I mean, why is it so damn important anyway? What is it going to achieve, really?"

"I don't know, I'm not overly keen on it myself. But it does sound quite intriguing, doesn't it? If nothing else, it could be a fun distraction from everything going on right now. Perhaps you'll become even more popular with this article huh~?"

Katsuki's face raised curiously.

"Hmmm...perhaps you're right. I guess it wouldn't be so bad to be interviewed."

Kenji gave a small smile, lightly kissing her on the cheek which made her smile.

Meanwhile, Sir Nighteye arrived at the place Hikari currently was, at the hospital, and had the bullet within his pocket for her to analyse. Glancing towards him as she seemingly was working on something important, she ushered him inside.

"Sir-chan, did you bring it?"

Sir Nighteye inclined his neck, producing the bullet within his palm.

"Here, this is the bullet."

Hikari took the red bullet, and held it out in her opened palm.

"The red colour of it makes me think that your theory of the bullet being the blood of an individual might not be impossible. Though it could also be an aesthetic choice."

"Either way, will you be able to analyse it?"

Hikari nodded her head slowly.

"Yes, I should be able to do a complete analysis by tomorrow evening, and see what components are used to make this bullet. I also have a trace of Eri-chan's DNA on file, so I should be able to tell you if it came from Eri-chan."

"Thank you, Hikari-chan. I can always count on you for assistance."

Hikari waved her hand.

"Not at all. Though you were vague on how you retrieved this bullet. You didn't do anything dangerous, did you?"

Nighteye shook his head.

"It was your son that retrieved it, Kenji."

"Kenji...was he hurt? Is he okay?"

Hikari tried to keep her panic low.

Of course she always would be worried about her son, though she had to learn to let things go a little bit so she didn't become someone lost in their worry for their kids.

"Yes, he's physically fine. He's more of a help than I thought he might be, with the evidence piling up, it will only be a matter of time before we capture Overhaul."

"Yes..."

Nighteye noticed that she had a chance of voice when she seemed to be distant.

"Is something the matter?"

"No...not with me. It's just, if this truly is Eri-chan's blood, then I can't even imagine how Overhaul got it...no, I already have a very good idea, I've seen that little girls arms before, and what he's probably done to her."

"Yes, that's why it is imperative that we stop him."

Hikari inclined her head.

"Yes, it is to make sure that girl doesn't have anymore nightmares. But I also heard about you taking Izuku-kun, even inviting him to see if he can join your agency. What happened there? I thought you'd never take him on."

"...Your son convinced me that I shouldn't judge him without seeing his abilities before my eyes, and reminded me about All Might also not possessing a Quirk once upon a time and became the greatest Hero. I should at least see the kid that inherited the power."

Hikari gently smiled at the man before her.

"Yes, he might surprise you yet. That young man definitely has a good heart, though he is kind of reckless sometimes, but he got that from All Might hehehe~"

"Heh...yes, I'm sure that he probably would be. I'll see what he can do and judge it for myself. If you could tell me the contents of that bullet, then I'd be grateful."

"Of course, leave it to me."

Sir bowed his head, and walked off, leaving Hikari to study the bullet.

The next day, Chitose arrived at the dorms, being escorted by Aizawa who wasn't exactly thrilled by a reporter being there, but he knew that it was going to be a good things for the kids, so he went along with it while explaining about her appearance, to the classes that had gathered, even Class 1B and Shinso's class gathered, even Irina was stood together with Tokoyami.

Kenji was surprised to see that it was Chitose that had been the one who was interviewing them. Since he had been interviewed by her in the past, he was quite happy that she was the one who was going to be interviewing him again if he was to be interviewed again.

"This woman is called Chitose Kizuki, she's from Shoowayasha Publishing, and she's going to be interviewing you separately." His eyes went to Chitose, who smiled gently. "If you don't feel like being interviewed, then you can reject the interview right away. This is to show your parents and guardians that you're doing well in the dorms, along with other things of personal interest."

He gestured to Chitose who showed a cute smile, with Mineta in the background announcing "Yes! A woman!" while Katsuki glanced towards him, silencing him with a stare.

Chitose moved forward.

"As you know, I'm here to do an article on you guys, how you're settling in, just pretend that I'm not here, do whatever you'd do during the day. Though I have some people I'd like to interview, so if you'd please answer my questions, then I'd be grateful." The classes didn't seem that bothered, and just nodded slowly. "Great! Then, what would you be doing at this time?"

"We'd be having breakfast right now."

Kenji answered since he was the Class President, and Iida kept jabbing him forward.

"Aah, breakfast huh. Most important meal of the day they say. So please go and down that, I'll just be taking some pictures. Act natural...ooh yes, I'd also like to speak to Katsuki Bakugo-san first of all."

"Why her?!" Mina snapped, but then became fearful when Katsuki glared at her. "I-I mean, w-we'll be getting interviewed eventually, right?"

"Of course~ I just wish to start with her, due to her coming second in the Sports Festival among other reasons."

"By that logic, wouldn't you want to speak to Kenji-kun first? Since he came first."

Shoto added, but Chitose wagged her finger.

"I'll be coming to him in time. For now, if you would, Bakugo-san?"

"Whatever."

Katsuki was led away by Chitose, while Kenji and the others watched on.

They went into a private area, and Chitose began asking a few interviewing questions about her life at the dorm, and other things of that nature, the normal, at least that's what Katsuki thought anyway.

But then she was surprised by one of the questions that Chitose had.

"Now, your love story with Kenji-kun is-"

"Our love story?"

Chitose nodded slowly.

"Of course, I've been reading various things about your and Kenji-kun's relationship."

Katsuki folded her arms excitedly.

"Is that so?"

"Everyone's been curious about how you've begun to show calmer expressions since the incident with the Sludge Villain over a year ago. That's when you first met, Kenji-kun, is that right?" Katsuki paused for a brief moment, before nodding. "Is that where the romance began? Did you fall in love at first sight?"

"Nothing so damn cheesy. Seriously, when we first met, we were within an alleyway, and he was asking if I had seen All Might for some reason. Then we met later that day and he saved me from the sludge Villain, nearly getting himself killed as a result. And then together, we kicked some sludge Villain ass."

Chitose let out a squealing sound.

"How exciting, he was already going to sacrifice himself for you. Did he fall for you at first sight?"

Katsuki raised an eyebrow.

"You'd have to ask him that."

"Yes, I probably would. So tell me, when did you both become aware of the others growing feelings?"

"Is this what readers really want to know? It doesn't seem so important to me."

Chitose nodded strongly.

"Who doesn't love a good love story?"

Katsuki sighed, remembering what Kenji said about cooperating so she went along with it, and thought about it.

"Alright fine, though if you try and paint Ken in a negative way, I'll find you and kill you myself! Got it Smurf!?"

Chitose didn't even seem bothered by the threat, though did question if Katsuki just called her a Smurf.

"Splendid! Then lets continue!"

Chitose continued to interview Katsuki for a good while, and asked various questions along with getting a bit on Kenji and Katsuki's love story.

Once it was finished, Chitose came out of the room with Katsuki. Katsuki walked over to Kenji and sat down on his lap, while Chitose snapped a picture of them doing just that, and murmured "Big scoop." something Kenji raised an eyebrow about.

"What did she ask Bakugo?!"

Mina suddenly burst out, Katsuki shot her a glare and caused her to back down slightly.

"That's my business alien. But if you must know, beyond asking questions about the living conditions of the dorm, she spoke about my, and Ken's epic love story."

Kenji gave her a curious look.

"Our...epic love story?"

"Yeah, because our love story is epic Ken! Much better than Minion and Deku's! I mean, they haven't even confessed to one another yet while we're in a healthy functional relationship!"

Both Izuku and Ochaco let out spit takes when Katsuki yelled that out.

"K-Kacchan! W-Why are you yelling that out!?"

Izuku blushed brightly as he said it, Ochaco looked absolutely stunned.

Katsuki huffed, and folded her arms.

"Because I want to, and it's true."

Izuku wasn't exactly sure what to say to that.

But then Kenji finished off his breakfast, and turned to Izuku.

"I got a message from Sir, we should be going soon. Mirio-senpai said he'd wait for us at the gates."

"R-Right, then I'll be ready in a minute!"

Izuku quickly finished off his food, and went to get ready while Kenji said his goodbyes to the others in the dorm.

As he did that, Chitose brought Shoto along with her next.

Going into a private room, Shoto sat down with a stoic expression on her face.

"I can refuse to answer any question, correct?"

"Correct. Now, lets get into it."

Chitose tried asking a few questions about how she was getting on during the school hours, but Shoto merely just spoke one or two worded answers. Even Chitose was surprised by how she was being so quiet. Even when she tried to bring up Endeavour, it was as if Shoto wasn't going to answer at all.

Shoto then saw Chitose let out a breath, and tried a different tactic.

"Now during the Sports Festival, it seemed as if both you and Kenji-kun came over some of your personal trauma."

"That is nothing to do with your article."

Shoto pointed out, Chitose winced.

"Y-Yes, you have a point. However, I thought readers might want to know..."

"Kenji-kun and I my relationship is our private business."

Chitose looked disheartened by what was being said.

"Oh...alright then, I thought since Bakugo-san also spoke about hers with Kenji-kun..."

Shoto curiously raised an eyebrow.

"Is that so…?"

Shoto began thinking about Katsuki, and what she had said to Chitose about Kenji.

"Yes, she said that her and Kenji-kun had the best relationship."

Shoto shook her head immediately.

"Kenji-kun and I have the best relationship."

Chitose raised an eyebrow happily.

"I see, so you both are involved with Kenji-kun."

"That is correct, Kenji-kun and I started our relationship during the Battle Trial, and he helped me begin to understand my own feelings. It grew as we went through the tournament. Though I wont say about the reasons as that is private, but suffice to say, Kenji-kun is currently helping me with my feelings."

Chitose curiously looked on, as Shoto said that.

"That's quite interesting. The public would like to know these things. Ever since the incident at Kamino, it seems that the public have begun being split on Kenji-kun as a person. Before, it seemed to be negative all the way, but now, there are more and more people for him after seeing that he managed to save All Might, and Reaper, from that scary Villain."

"Yes, but that's not for me to comment on, as I already was aware the lengths Kenji-kun would go for someone. He would even sacrifice himself...like he almost has done a few times before."

Chitose could feel the intense feelings behind Shoto's words.

It did seem like she cared quite a bit about Kenji.

After Shoto, Nejire came bouncing into the room, and sat down super excitedly.

"Wow, being interviewed huh~? So, Chitose-chan, what's your favourite colour?"

"Well-"

"Ooh! Is it purple? I like blue myself, like my hair~ Though white is a lovely colour, it reminds me of Irina-chan and Kenji-kun's hair~"

Chitose gave a light hearted smile.

"That's great, now to do with the dorms-"

"Ooh, I love the dorm, it's so much fun! I get to spend it with my two fav people! Irina-chan and Kenji-kun! They're both so cuddly, I could hug them forever, and still want even more! Irina-chan and I are even building a team together, and we'll be making our first appearance rather soon! Haha, she's a bit nervous, but I'm so excited~ Then when Kenji-kun graduates, we'll be working together a lot, it just feels so good!"

Chitose was silent, as Nejire rambled on more and more.

If nothing else, she enjoyed Nejire's spirit and her enthusiasm.

"R-Right, so you're having fun here then."

Nejire hopped in place, nodding again and again.

"Yes! It's really great! So, Chitose-chan, who do you admire?"

"Admire huh? Well, I guess that would have to be..." She paused, seeing Nejire leaning forward curiously. "W-Wait, I'm supposed to be interviewing you, not the other way around!"

Nejire let out a little laugh.

"But, I could see you're also enjoying being questioned~"

Chitose let out a bit of nervous laughter.

It seemed that Nejire could truly speak with the best of them, and was endlessly curious about everything.

After Nejire, it was Toru who came in after being called in by Chitose.

But, since she was invisible, Chitose couldn't see her, and Toru had neglected to put on any clothes, so Chitose thought that she was alone.

"When is she going to come…?"

Chitose murmured, looking around the room.

She looked at her watch for the time.

For a minute or so, Chitose was waiting for Toru to come, looking at the door, and then thought about going to call for her once more.

"Are we not going to talk?"

Chitose jumped at the voice, realizing that Toru was there after all.

"S-So, you're here…"

"Haha, sorry, it seems I've forgotten my clothes~"

Chitose smiled awkwardly.

"Right...so, does that kind of mishap happen a lot? Do you often find yourself without clothing?"

Toru let out a small laughing sound, and dodged the question.

"So, what are we going to be talking about~?"

"Just dorm life, and how you're getting along. A good quote would be nice."

"A good quote...huh...I'm not dead! How about that? People often confuse me for being deceased, so I thought that would be pretty good~"

Chitose mused about it, then let out a soft laugh.

"Huh...yeah, that doesn't sound so bad. So people think you're deceased huh?"

"Well, it's mostly Bakugo-san who does it to have a joke with me, so I thought that it would be rather amusing if that was my quote!"

Chitose let out a small laugh.

"Sounds good to me. Now more about your time in the dorms..."

Chitose continued speaking to Toru for a little while, and learned a bit about her.

Next, Mina was called into a private area with Chitose, and she grinned from ear to ear, she had been waiting for this.

"Soooooo, what are we gonna be talking about huh~? I've got lots of stories to tell~"

Chitose chuckled lightly.

"This is mostly just asking about your experiences in the dorms and if you're settling in well."

Mina stuck out her tongue with a slight sad expression.

"Is that all? I brought my notes about different things happening in the dorms, like the love lives of everyone, and the current dynamics of the dorms. I've got it all!"

Chitose let out a small laugh.

"It isn't really about love, though it's nice to hear about these things."

"Exactly! So, lets begin with...hmmm, right, lets begin with Kirishima-kun and Sakura-chan. Those two are like giving off hints that they like one another, but it doesn't seem concrete yet, so I'm not sure about them. Then there's Ochaco-chan and Midoriya-kun, rumours have it that they're gonna confess to one another real soon~ Then there's Irina-chan and Tokoyami-kun, they've been dating for a while it seems, I saw them the other day kissing, though Tokoyami-kun seemed embarrassed when we found him. Then there's Kenji-kun….aaah, that's gonna take a while, there's a good few relationship dynamics there. Bakugo-san said that she's like the alpha of the harem, though Shoto-chan often argues that it's her, we all just like being happy together, I'm not really bothered myself who's the alpha or whatever, Kenji-kun spends a lot of time with all of us anyway~ Though the more aggressive members are like Mei-chan~ Ooh, Momo-chan and Itsuka-chan also have like romantic rival vibes going on~ Then there's Jiro-chan, she's so totes afraid of Shiozaki-chan and called her an assassin!"

Chitose drunk in the information from Mina, and let out a hearty laugh.

"Ooh my, there's a few romances in U.A it seems~"

Mina grinned, showing her two thumbs excitedly.

"Yup, it can be pretty hard, but I've kept records~"

"It seems you're dedicated."

Mina rubbed her shirt with a smile on her face.

"Ooh yeah, someone has to be~"

Mina let out small laughs as did Chitose, it seemed like the two got on quite well, and spoke for a good long while together.

The next was Mei and Misaki. Misaki glanced at Mei who grinned wildly to her worry.

"Are you okay…?"

Misaki asked Mei who continued to grin.

"I'm fine yeah~"

Chitose gave an odd look, and then shook her head.

"Anyway, we should be getting to the interview. Though, it seems you...Misaki-chan, you don't go here, do you?"

"No, I am currently deciding if I should join next year, since I'll be of age to join U.A, and if I should become a Hero. Though my Dad believes I'd be a good doctor. Perhaps I'll follow in my Grandmother's steps, and become both."

Mei gave a curious look.

"Your Grandma is a doctor, is she?"

Misaki inclined her head.

"Yes, that's correct."

Mei stroked her chin with intrigue.

"Hmmm, I see..."

Mei seemed to be slightly suspicious while Misaki coughed into her hand.

"Y-Yes, so you want to know about our lives in U.A?"

"That's right. Just how you're settling in, among other things..."

Misaki leaned forward to Chitose with a timid smile.

"I do know one thing about U.A."

Chitose became intrigued.

"Is that so? What's that then?"

"There's a boy here, who I'm convinced likes stripping."

"Kenji-kun does do that a lot yeah~"

Mei laughed out, but Misaki shook her head.

"I-I was talking about T-Togata-san, not….Kenji-san!"

"Hahaha, ooh yeah, I heard about that. You fainted when seeing his thing, didn't you?"

Misaki felt her face burn red, nodding a single time.

"O-Of course, it was t-there out in the open...a-and I haven't s-seen a boy like that before...i-it was overwhelming..."

"I can see why it would be, my own experience was seeing Kenji-kun's for the first time and that definitely was a...big moment in my life, an awakening if you will. Yeah, that was an amazing experience for me personally~ Speaking of, I should probably take his measurements again for the future in case he needs a new Hero's costume..."

Misaki pointed at Mei accusingly.

"W-What are your intentions with my Da….with Kenji-san!?"

Mei gave off a dirty laugh.

"Ooh, I've got a lot of intentions, and I want to explore, every...detail of his form. From head to toe...and especially hips..."

Mei began to blush deeply at the end, her eyes becoming hazy.

Misaki looked stunned while Chitose gave off awkward laughs.

"T-That's..."

"Hahaha, don't worry about it little...cousin of Kenji-kun's~ We'll be exploring everything about one another, and my Quirk, Zoom, allows me to help that. Though when zooming in on his crotch, I don't have to zoom very far to see his..."

"Lalalalalala! I-I can't hear you!"

Misaki covered her ears, and let out loud noises as Mei continued to laugh.

Chitose smiled awkwardly, and could see that Mei definitely was a very forward kind of woman.

While that was happening, Kenji, Mirio and Izuku arrived at Sir Nighteye's office, with Kenji announcing "This is it, Deku-kun. Sir Nighteye-sans agency." but when he looked to Izuku, he saw that he was frozen stiff with no expression other than worry on his face.

Mirio glances at Kenji who offers an awkward smile.

"Is he like this a lot?"

Kenji lightly pats Izuku's head, seemingly bringing him out of his thoughts.

"Deku-kun can get overwhelmed sometimes, but he'll be alright in a few seconds."

Mirio nodded with an "I see." and opened the doors. They walked inside, and made it to a flight of stairs, going up said stairs while continuing to converse about their current mission to do with Overhaul, Mirio directed towards Kenji a beaming smile.

"Also, I heard from Sir that you helped the investigation!"

Izuku turned to Kenji curiously.

"You did Ken-kun? What did you do?"

Kenji scratched his cheek.

"No big deal, I just recovered a bullet from our enemy Overhaul's group, when I saw him last night."

"You didn't say anything at all."

"Investigation, I can't even tell Kacchan and the others about it. I've had to keep quiet, but since you're here, and more than likely going to be joining, we can talk about it now, which I must say is a relief, I don't really like not speaking to you about it, since we always share what's going on with one another."

Izuku felt the same way. Since they had become friends, they always shared a lot together, no matter what it was. Izuku was one of the first to know about Kenji being connected to All For One, a secret still many didn't know about, and Kenji knew about things happening with One For All, among other things with Izuku. They just had that kind of relationship, and if it was him who had to keep the secret, then Izuku would feel like Kenji did, and now would feel some relief.

"A-Ah, yes, that makes sense. So you fought him again?"

Kenji tilted his hand sideways.

"Small skirmish between us, nothing too major. He shot at me, and I managed to dodge it just in time. My Mother currently is working on the bullet and seeing what it is made out of. While she's doing that, Mirio-senpai and I are going to go and investigate the area I saw Chisaki, and see if we can pick up any clues about it."

"A-And while you're doing that?"

"You'll be trying to appease Sir."

Mirio confirmed it, while Izuku let out some nervous laughter.

"Hahaha...I-I heard he's quite strict, so it is going to be difficult...isn't it?"

"Oh yes, he's very strict. Though the key to winning him over is, making him laugh."

Izuku's face went white, as Kenji nodded.

"Apparently, he already accepted me due to my Mother showing him something...embarrassing." Izuku raised an eyebrow. "I'm not gonna share what it was...it's rather embarrassing, ask my Mom about it."

Kenji gave an awkward smile as they continued on.

"Anyway, that's all we can say. He seems to hold humour in high regard, perhaps it is for irony or something. Anyway, I'm sure that you'll do quite well, Kenji-kun here couldn't help but sing your praises when we speak about you."

Mirio casually said it.

Izuku turned towards Kenji, who shyly looked towards the right.

"I-I just think you'd be really good here, that's all."

Izuku accepted that with a praising smile on his face, glad that he had a friend like Kenji.

But then they made it to the office.

"Here we are. If you want to get stronger, then walk on through."

"Right!"

Izuku said with a strong face, and moved to the door.

Izuku had quite a few expectations, he thought that this was going to be a place full of serious stuff...

Upon entering his office, they see Bubble Girl, tied to a machine, and being tickled, while Sir watches on, Izuku looked horrified by it, though Kenji and Mirio seemed to be used to it, and just chuckled awkwardly at the other.

"W-What kind of place is this?!"

Izuku let out, while Bubble Girl continued to laugh her head off.

He then turned to Kenji curiously.

"K-Ken-kun...w-what's going on?"

Kenji tilted his neck left and right.

"Well, I guess that she failed to make him laugh. He sometimes does this. He tried it with me once, but I unintentionally released Death, and destroyed the machine by mistake. So I just try and make him laugh when I can."

Izuku looked on with wide eyes.

He couldn't quite believe that this was happening.

He didn't know what kind of place this was.

Sir Nighteye then turned his intense stare onto Izuku who froze stiff.

Kenji and Mirio look to one another, before looking at Izuku.

Izuku looked on with a worried expression…

But then remembered what Kenji and Mirio said, and having decided to do his best, he pulled a face that looked like All Might's, and said with a voice like All Might "Hello I'm Izuku Midoriya!" while Kenji and Mirio both froze at the sight before them.

"Ooh God..."

Kenji murmured, seeing the reaction of Nighteye.

Izuku turned to Kenji with a thumbs up, believing he did well.

But Kenji looked to Mirio who stayed silent.

Nighteye pulled forward, not looking thrilled.

"What is this? Are you trying to ridicule All Might?"

Izuku felt as if lightning had just hit him, and he didn't move a single inch.

Kenji placed a hand over his mouth, muttering "Deku-kun...please take off the All Might face, he isn't amused..." seeing Sir becoming increasingly aggitated, Izuku let out a panicked sound, and dropped his All Might face, something that Mirio thought was probably best right now.

Sir walked over to Izuku, and pulled on his face.

"Your face didn't resemble All Might's in a good way. The measurements were all wrong. His crows feet weren't as large as the ones you had made, either now, or back in the past." Izuku looked around and saw that indeed, Sir was someone that cherished All Might quite a bit. "So, this is the boy you told me about, Mikami?"

Kenji nodded strongly.

"Y-Yes, he thought that it would make you laugh...Sir, he didn't mean to offend All Might or anything like that."

Nighteye looked Izuku up and down, while Mirio took a gulp.

"That might be the case, but it wasn't what I was looking for. I didn't find it funny in the least, I thought it was more insulting."

He then turned away as Izuku announced something shocking.

"The face I was making, wasn't from the Silver Age, or the current All Might, it was from the incident with the vinegar river." Sir paused as Izuku continued. "The boy that had the Quirk to change the properties of water into vinegar, and All Might jumped into the river to save him. Though most don't talk about it due to no Villain's being involved, his face looked slightly different from after, due to the vinegar getting in All Might's eyes. That smile, those narrowed eyes, that's the face that I was mimicking."

Kenji smiled slightly at the sight of Izuku doing that.

And he also saw that Sir seemed to be impressed.

"All Might fanboys till the end. If you can't make him laugh, bond over All Might, it seems to be working for you, Deku-kun."

He thought to himself, while helping Mirio get Bubble Girl down from her binds.

"I know this rescue, it was before I joined him. And it isn't talked about much, only briefly mentioned on the television special, titled 'A Look Back'."

Izuku became more excited, his fists thrusting up and down.

"Yes, I love that special so much! I just love the response he gave after saving the kid he rescued!"

"I'm the one who should be thanking you, my skin feels ten years younger."

Izuku nodded strongly.

"Yes, that's it! It was the perfect one liner!"

They continued to speak, while Mirio showed a thumbs up to Kenji.

"It seems to be working Kenji-kun."

"Yes...I think that it is working out quite well."

Sir glanced towards Kenji, who stiffened slightly.

"Mirio, Bubble Girl, leave for a moment, if you would."

""Sir yes Sir.""

"With more vigour."

They both saluted Sir quickly and raised their voices.

""Sir yes Sir!""

With that, both Mirio and Bubble Girl left the room, leaving Kenji and Izuku alone with Sir Nighteye.

Meanwhile, it was Ochaco and Tsuyu who had been brought together. Sitting before Chitose, the elder woman began with her usual questions about how they'd be settling into the dorms, among other things of that nature.

"So, I've heard you both are good friends from your other friends?"

Tsuyu nodded.

"Ochaco-chan and I get along quite well ribbit."

"Haha, yes, Tsu-chan's quite good at making me feel good when I miss home."

"Though she always talks to Midoriya-chan about that ribbit."

Tsuyu revealed to Chitose who seemed to be fascinated.

"Ooh yes, Mina-san did mention about you and Midoriya-san..."

Ochaco's face turned bright red.

"N-No! Whatever she said, it isn't true!"

Ochaco didn't want anything to be told about her feelings to Izuku, she didn't want him to read about it.

Tsuyu raised an eyebrow.

"Ochaco-chan can be quite embarrassed, though I'm fine with speaking about my own relationship with Kenji-chan ribbit."

Chitose showed an intrigued look.

"It seems that I've been hearing a few stories about Kenji-kun and Midoriya-kun, those boys are quite influential aren't they?"

Ochaco poked her fingers together shyly.

"I admire his determination that's all. I mean...he tries so hard, and doesn't give up...I also want to do the same thing, he inspires me to try harder at being a Hero..."

Tsuyu nods and continues.

"Kenji-chan is the same for me. Even though people were against Kenji-chan, he still strove forward, and tried to help out those who needed it. Both Midoriya-chan and Kenji-chan have helped people positively through the school. Shinso-chan is an example, so is Iida-chan, among others."

Chitose seemed to be quite intrigued.

As she went through the interviews, she was finding out more than she thought that she would do, and it was quite fascinating.

After them it was Momo and Itsuka who was brought in together, with Naoto sitting beside Momo herself, and held onto her hand.

Momo glanced at Itsuka who did the same thing.

"Why are we being interviewed together?"

Asking Chitose curiously, she replied to both Momo, and Itsuka.

"I don't have much time here, so I thought that pairing off students would be best. So, how about telling me about the dorms?"

"Well, I'm not used to it myself, the space used to be an issue, but I've learned a few new techniques to help deal with smaller spaces."

Momo replied, with Itsuka smiling.

"Yes, I have to admit it was quite the transition due to being used to my home life, but with my friends here, and living near Mikami-kun is quite nice."

Momo's eyes went towards Itsuka, who stared back.

"Living near Ken-chan huh."

Itsuka raised an eyebrow as Chitose sat back.

"Yes, that's right. Mikami-kun and I have a nice relationship, being fellow class representatives, it's nice to converse with one another, and see what would be best to help out our classes."

Momo let out a small dignified breath.

"Yes, I suppose that's nice. Ken-chan and I have riveting conversations all the time, plus we're both helping Naoto-kun out with a variety of things. Isn't that right Naoto-kun?"

Naoto nodded his head shyly.

"I...I really like, Momo-san...she's really kind..."

Itsuka looked on with a kind expression on her face.

"Oh yes, I have heard you had a difficult time, I'm glad that you're getting along better."

"Yes, Naoto-kun quite likes me now, I help him along with Ken-chan with spellings, reading and other things." Momo glanced at Naoto and beamed towards him. "He's really smart, just like his Father, and very compassionate."

Itsuka's face was smiling, she was genuinely happy that Naoto was beginning to have a better life now than before. Though she didn't know everything, she knew enough

"Oh, I'm also going to Hikari-sensei's for my own Hero Work Studies. What about you Yaoyorozu-san?"

Momo looked flabbergasted.

"Y-You also?"

Itsuka's face turned white.

"You're going too?"

Momo nodded.

"I asked Hikari-sensei myself about it, and she agreed to take me on."

"Oh, she asked me yesterday if I wished to go. Since she's in the Top Ranking for Hero's, I couldn't deny the opportunity."

Momo and Itsuka smiled at one another, though Chitose could feel the slight tension in the room. Nothing too bad, it seemed to be a healthy rivalry between the two of them. And it seemed that they both cared about Naoto quite a bit, by the way that they were speaking to him.

Chitose snickered to herself, she thought it was rather amusing to get more details about their lives at the dorms.

After them, it was Ibara's turn, and she was sent in with Jiro. Jiro looked uncomfortable with Ibara, who cupped her hands together.

"So, this is just an interview, about how you're getting along and being able to interact with classmates."

Ibara, and Jiro glanced at the other, before Jiro stepped forward.

"I'm settling in rather well. I'm able to play some instruments, and sing...t-though I only do that when I'm alone. I'd be rather embarrassed to do it aloud."

"Haha, I see. It seems you're-"

"Is this a way to spread my message?"

Ibara began, Jiro looking fearful.

"Your message?"

Ibara nodded, pulling out a pamphlet, and handed it to Chitose.

Overlooking it, Chitose saw that it was a picture of Kenji that had written under it 'He has the answers.' but Chitose thought "What are the questions?" in a slightly amused way, seeing that Ibara wasn't really causing any harm with her club.

"This is for my club. We gather, and speak about Mikami-sama. We converse, and also, we have tea, and biscuits in the shape of Mikami-sama's hair."

"I see...that's quite nice."

Ibara nodded seriously.

"So yes, use that pamphlet please. I wouldn't mind more members of the club. We converse on different days, but I always send an email to explain the days that we'll be meeting for that week. We also do charity drives."

"That's nice it seems that you're able to help others with your club."

"Yes. That, and also to gather information on any potential members for the harem, and make sure that they're not evil. Katsuki Bakugo-san also helps out with that, since she said, and I quote "Ken's been through too much, he doesn't need any horrible women in his life." so we have to make sure that he's protected from evil women's intentions."

"Assassin..."

Jiro murmured while trying to put distance between them, Ibara turned to her with a calm smile.

"I don't know why you called me an assassin, I'm only trying to spread the message of Mikami-sama to the masses and make sure that he's protected emotionally."

Jiro looked a little bit scared when Ibara showed her smile.

Chitose found it rather amusing, and got what she needed.

The next one to be sent in was Mineta, who was with Miki, Kenji's cousin from Shiketsu High. Miki smiled at Mineta, who held onto her hand.

Chitose looked on curiously.

"So..."

Chitose began, looking at Miki's uniform, who looked down also, and gave an awkward smile.

"Ooh, if you're wondering why I'm here, it's because this cute boy here asked me to come. Apparently, he needed my support, so I've come to support him."

Mineta gave a coy smile on his face.

"That's right, this is my girlfriend~"

Chitose kept smiling weakly, thinking "In denial it seems." as Miki giggled.

"Isn't he so sweet? For someone so young to think that we're dating~"

Chitose let out a small laugh as well, with Mineta showing a humble expression on his face.

"So, about the dorms..."

"Ooh yeah! We all get on in the dorms. Though, I kinda wish that Miki-chan lived at the dorms so we could wake up together~"

Miki bent down and hugged him into her chest, causing his face to light.

"Awww, you're so precious. But I go to Shiketsu, so I can't..."

Mineta showed a grin, and pointed to Chitose.

"So, reporter babe, are you-"

"Thank you so much, I've gotten everything I need."

Mineta's face fell.

"B-But, we just started..."

Chitose smiled "Good day~", and left the room, with Mineta looking down.

Miki gently stroked his back.

"It's just because you're so helpful you helped her out so quickly Mineta-kun~"

"Y-Yeah! I guess you're right! So girlfriend of mine, shall we go and eat something~"

"Hahaha girlfriend of yours, so adorable~ Alright, we can go and eat together~"

Miki, believing Mineta to be a child, went along with it, and walked away with him.

Back with Kenji and Izuku, it seemed that the atmosphere was quite tense.

It could be cut with a knife it was that tense.

Nighteye turned towards the pair of them, as he sat down at his desk.

"Midoriya, I don't think you should have inherited the Quirk you wield."

Izuku's face dropped gradually.

Kenji went to protest, but he was stopped by a wave of Sir's hand.

"Honestly, I believe your friend is more suited to having that power than you are. He already had a powerful Quirk, with One For All, being the son of someone who All Might acknowledged to be just as powerful, maybe even more so, than he was, he would have been unrivalled."

Izuku looked disheartened, his eyes glancing towards Kenji who exhaled slowly.

"Sir Nighteye, I thought that we discussed this-"

"I'm merely voicing my opinion, Mikami. You, or Mirio, would have been finer choices in my eyes."

"But Sir, this isn't going to make a difference now, it's Izuku-kun who's got the power. It's his choice what he does with it, neither you or I have any sway in what happens with that, do we? Besides, he's come a long way since he first gained it, he was breaking bones left and right, and now, he's able to contend with Pro's in such a short amount of time."

Izuku felt touched that Kenji was defending him, even to someone as scary as Sir Nighteye.

"I realize that, but..."

"...I agree Sir Nighteye."

Kenji looked shocked that Izuku said that.

"Deku..."

"You, agree with me?"

Sir Nighteye genuinely was surprised by what was being said.

Izuku nodded without pause.

"I...I can understand it, with One For All, Ken-kun could have been unrivalled, and the same for Mirio-senpai. I know there are more worthy people than I am, but I'm going to do my best, no matter what. All Might chose to give it to me, I've worked so hard, I'm training all of the time to improve, I want to make him proud! I understand you don't want me to have the power...but, All Might chose me, and I'll do anything to prove that to you! I'll always do my best!"

Upon hearing his passionate words, Nighteye turned to Kenji.

"You're right, it seems like he can be quite passionate."

"Yes, and more Sir Nighteye. Please let him join us here, I think he'd learn a lot from you. He'll show you why All Might chose him Sir Nighteye."

Nighteye glanced at Izuku who looked on with a strong resolve.

He thought about everything that he had seen until now, how Kenji had defended him, and the points he had said before, and even now, along with Mirio even giving his blessing with Izuku being there, thinking he had potential.

"...Though I would have chosen differently, Mikami brought up an interesting point. I can either complain about something that can't be changed or I can take action and make sure you don't mess up. But don't misunderstand, I wont go easy on you."

"Y-Yes, I understand!"

"You'll also be expected to be here for six months, and you could fall behind your classmates. Of course you'll be paid for your services. And you'll also have to show me yourself why you're worthy of that power. Right now, I'm on the edge, and I don't know. But, I'll believe in Mikami right now and see what you can do." Sir Nighteye stuck out his hand. "The contract."

"A-Ah, yes!"

Izuku brought out the contract, and passed it off to Sir Nighteye.

Sir then brought out his seal, and placed it near the paper.

His eyes then went to Kenji.

"You're really this sure that he's worthy?"

Nighteye asked for confirmation, so Kenji gave it right away.

"As I said when we spoke last time, it's not me who decided, it was All Might. But in my personal opinion, Deku-kun here is the hardest working person I've ever met, he fails, and tries again, learning from mistakes and getting better, he puts himself on the line for others, he doesn't give up, he protects those who can't save themselves, I saw it myself with a boy called Kota-san, then he came to save me when I was captured by the League."

"If his best isn't good enough? Then what?"

Kenji looked towards Izuku and smiled.

"Then I'll be right beside him to support him, like my Father did All Might. Till the end. He's been a true friend to me, I'll also be the same right back and we'll fight side by side against any Villain."

Izuku's eyes began to get wet when Kenji said that, but he refused to cry right now.

Sir Nighteye blinked in surprise by what had been said, but he did understand what Kenji was saying, and stamped the seal on the contract Izuku had.

"I'm taking a chance on you Midoriya, don't mess it up."

Izuku wiped his eyes, nodding strongly.

"Y-Yes Sir! I wont let you down!"

"Good, then Mikami, you and Mirio will go and investigate the sight you were last night, along with a report about a situation that could have also involved Chisaki, and the League of Villains, we've secured the areas so any evidence you can find, alert me immediately. You both might be able to find something the police missed due to your abilities."

Kenji didn't stutter, inclining his neck.

"Yes Sir, leave it to us."

"Then, while you're doing that, I wish to see what capabilities Midoriya currently has, and he'll join tomorrow if you don't recover anything today." He picked up the seal, and twirled it within his fingers. "You have three minutes to take this from me, do whatever you like in here. I'll see for myself what you can do."

"R-Right!"

Kenji bowed his head once receiving the orders in paper form, and walked out as Izuku got ready.

Though he did wonder if he was going to use his Foresight power on Izuku.

Making it to Mirio outside of the room, he smiled happily.

"Sir's agreed to take him on."

Mirio let out a relieved breath.

"I wasn't sure at first since Sir didn't seem to into it, but it seems that Izuku-kun's won him over!"

"For now it seems, Izuku-kun is going to be tested on his capabilities, while you and I are to investigate some reports, and the location I saw Chisaki last night."

Kenji gave the paper to Mirio, reading it quickly, he inclined his neck.

"Alright then, lets get too it!"

Kenji and Mirio inclined their necks, and moved forward together.

Meanwhile, Chitose was continuing her interviews, and this time it was Sakura, along with Kirishima. Sakura smiled happily as Kirishima looked towards her curiously.

"Ooh my, this is my first interview~"

Sakura said with a grin, Chitose also showed a grin.

"Then I'm glad to be your first haha~" Sakura showed a peace sign. "Then Sakura-chan, you're quite new to this school, aren't you?"

"Yes, I transferred right after the incident at Kamino to follow in my Papa's footsteps."

Chitose looked on with a kind smile.

"That sounds lovely. How are you settling in?"

"I'm doing quite well, I've made new lovely friends. Things have been hard at times, since I seem to be unaware of social normals, since I was raised in a la..." Kirishima prodded her side, so she chortled happily. "...I was raised in a isolated place and away from current technology."

"Ooh yes, that makes sense." Her eyes went towards Kirishima. "Kirishima-kun, it seems you've been a good friend to Sakura-chan here, a few people have said so."

Kirishima scratched his cheek sheepishly.

"W-Well, I guess that I am...she's really cool, and nice."

Chitose showed a wide smile.

"So, does that mean the rumours about your relationship is true?"

"R-Rumours?"

Kirishima gulped, with Sakura glancing towards Chitose.

"What do you mean, rumours?"

"Well, it seems that you've got a close relationship. Though I wont pry-"

"You mean dating!" Both Kirishima and Chitose did a spit take as Sakura let out a laugh. "Dating is something I've never thought about. All I cared about for a long time is my Papa's love for me along with my siblings safety, and now that I have my Papa's love, I feel the best kind of feelings all of the time. So, having a boyfriend hasn't even crossed my mind before."

"I see, that sounds lovely, Sakura-chan. I'm glad your Papa loves you."

Sakura inclined her neck strongly.

"Ooh yes, Papa loves me quite a lot, he loves all of his children~ Even Eri-chan though she's not his child~" Sakura turned to Kirishima curiously. "Have you thought about dating me before?"

Kirishima's face turned ghostly white at her sudden question.

"W-What?! N-No! Of course I haven't! E-Even if I did like you l-like that, your Dad is m-my friend...a-and I couldn't..."

Kirishima thought about it while Sakura just smiled.

Chitose listened to their conversation, and found it rather interesting, it did seem that Sakura and Kirishima had a nice friendship, though she wasn't truly sure if there was anything beyond that. From Sakura at least, she was content with just having her Father's love, and Kirishima wished to protect Sakura, which Chitose thought was rather nice.

Then the last interview that Chitose had was Irina along with Tokoyami together, with Eri sitting in on it with her sitting on Irina's lap. Irina glanced at Tokoyami, who looked back towards her, then towards Chitose.

"I don't really get it, why are we being interviewed together?"

"Just because I had heard that you both have a story to tell, that's all. Star crossed lovers, beginning as enemies, correct?"

Irina glanced at Tokoyami with a pained smile.

"Well...when I first met him, he was someone that I had to control for my...for someone that I was forced to work for. Then after that, we met up and...the conversation was rather interesting."

"She sung moon river to me while apologizing for her actions."

Irina looked shocked.

"You remember that?"

Tokoyami tried to remain as chuunibyou as he usually was, but Irina could see that there was some cracks in his facade.

"Of course, it was the first time I heard you sing."

Irina felt touched that he remembered that.

Though it was only a small thing, she thought it was the first time in a long time she had the chance to converse with someone that wasn't evil and to her, ir was good, and now to find out that Tokoyami remembered even that small detail, caused her to feel good deep inside of her chest.

Eri looked between them, and then towards Irina.

"Irina-chan, you really sung to him?"

"Yes, that's right. I thought it would be nice to do so."

Chitose squealed excitedly.

"How wonderful! Enemies, becoming lovers~"

Irina and Tokoyami blushed lightly at one another. Eri didn't really say anything, she was enjoying sitting in on the conversation.

"Yes...it could be said to be like that. Tokoyami-kun here is someone that has helped me out, he's a good support for myself and does everything he can to make my life easier, like I do his. So, I'm quite thrilled that I met him and controlled him...haha, that doesn't sound right. But you get what I mean, right?"

"I understand quite well. It is nice to know of your budding relationship. I must confess, I was also asked to interview a few students that...how to say this...I was asked about students like Shoto-san, or Kenji-kun, since they're both wildly known by the public."

"The questions were to get us to reveal a bit more about ourselves, right? The questions about love, and our interpersonal relationships was to reveal more about how we're really doing here, and not just an answer that would satisfy the media, right?"

Chitose didn't deny it.

"Correct. Talking about something you're fond of allows me to see any problems, and the public have been worried about U.A and their methods since the kidnapping incident with Kenji-kun so that's why I was here, to see if I can sniff out any hidden secrets."

From what Eri had heard, she wasn't liking it.

"...Are you bullying Ken-chan? Please don't bully Ken-chan, he's really kind, and he takes care of me...he even is helping me learn how to read, and to write...and to count...he looks after me...and buys me new things...I love Ken-chan..."

Chitose's face curled upwards, shaking her head.

"I'm not bullying him, I am finding out the truth, and you just told me everything I'd need to know about him. As I've spoke to you students, I've seen that despite your quirky personalities, you're all enjoying your time here, you're safe, and happy."

Irina nodded strongly.

"I know U.A have come under hard times since then, so I hope this article helps out with that, and yes, you're right. There's a lot of different personalities here, but we all get on, we have a good bond together, and I think living together like this will help build better relationships, and better Hero Teams."

Chitose was glad.

She was happy to see that the Hero students were truly going to be alright.

"Yes, that's quite beautiful. Though I must say, it seems that your brother has helped out those girls, it's quite fascinating really. Speaking to these girls, it seems that Kenji-kun has had quite a positive effect on their lives and vice versa. A boy that was called a Demon by the public, is helping people with their personal issues. That would surprise people who thought he was a monster, huh."

Irina could get that. Many people wouldn't believe that Kenji would be the kind of person he was.

"Naturally, my brother is able to do these things because he understands what it is like to be on the side where no one is there for you, and it feels as if the world is against you. He doesn't want those who he adores to be in a situation that's bad, or being depressed. It can be lonely, Kenji doesn't want anyone to feel like he did. He's very compassionate, and has great empathy for anyone that needs it. Though I'm his older sister, I'm inspired by him to do harder. People nowadays look at me the same way they looked at him, but he overcame that, and is still showing his strengths even now so that's what I wish to do."

Chitose smiled softly at the sight before her.

"I see, then I think I've gotten a good story after all for the future."

"And what's that then?"

Irina wondered, Chitose smiled gently.

"The story of a young man's rise from being the most hated in the world, to becoming a great Hero. One day, that story is going to be told to everyone, and to inspire those who haven't had the best start in life, that they can pursue what they wish, even with everyone against you. Thank you for helping me, Irina-chan, Eri-chan, and Tokoyami-kun."

Irina shook her head as Eri smiled, Tokoyami folded his arms, and nodded a single time.

"No, it's not a problem. Though, don't forget, many students here have a story." Her eyes went to Tokoyami and she smiled happily. "Everyone has something about them that's interesting, and each of the students here will one day be amazing Hero's. I'm not sure what you're going to do for your article, but I'm sure you'll think of something to write."

"Yes...I think I've gotten what I need now for an article. You kids at U.A, are doing just fine, and I'll be saying as much. I can't see any problems here. One day, you kids are going to make damn fine Hero's."

Irina smiled as did Chitose.

It seemed like Chitose came to an understanding after all, and was quite pleased.

Kenji and Mirio were tasked with searching the two areas for clues about Chisaki, or the battle of the League. Without giving things away, Kenji thought it would be best to go on evidence that they could see before their eyes.

"Some kind of battle went on here it seems."

Mirio observed, Kenji recalling the brief fight with Chisaki, and how he also had fought.

"Yes, the walls smashed, the ground has been turned into spikes. The League was supposed to be here with the Shie Hassaikai, right?" Mirio nodded. "I'm gonna guess that it didn't end quite well."

Mirio continued looking around, and noticed a clump of dust together, and bent down.

"The leader of the League...Tomura, his Quirk could reduce things to dust, correct?" Kenji nodded. "So I think your theory on them fighting is probably right. Whatever they came to discuss, didn't end well for them, but for us it did if they didn't form an alliance between them. But, who is this person that was dusted? Chisaki?"

"Hmmm, I couldn't tell you Senpai. Once a persons been turned to dust like that, even I couldn't tell you who it used to be. All they were, has simply been destroyed."

"Yes, that makes sense. Hmmm, still we've learned that they aren't working together, so that's a good..."

"Thing indeed, right?"

Both Kenji and Mirio turned towards the hole, and saw that Stain was stood there.

Both got into a fighting style, as Stain cocked an eyebrow upwards at the pair.

"Stain...what are you doing here?"

Kenji demanded, but the man waved his hand.

"Don't worry, I haven't come to kill anyone today. Actually, I was wondering what happened here myself. Did that brat Tomura get himself into trouble again? Though it seems that you're making more friends, Kenji-kun."

Kenji couldn't tell if he was playing or not.

He never could tell with Stain.

"What is it you're here for exactly? Showing yourself to us, you must have known it wouldn't end well for you."

Mirio demanded, while Kenji looked on.

"I came here to tell you something, Kenji-kun."

Kenji narrowed his eyebrows.

"And what's that then?"

"It's about a cooperation between your Granny, and Chisaki."

Kenji and Mirio glanced at one another, Mirio telling Kenji with his eyes to play along so he did just that.

"Why are they forming a cooperation? What does Yami wish from Chisaki?"

"That, I don't know. Perhaps he has something that she might want."

"What she might want...the bullets?"

Stain shrugged his shoulders.

"Who knows what she's thinking. But, I do know that she's supporting him as he continues doing his little secret activities behind everyone's back. So it could be the bullets she's after, or something else entirely."

"Something else entirely..."

Kenji wondered as Stain let out a dark laugh.

"Well, I'm off. I saw what I needed to see, and said what I wanted to say."

Mirio couldn't let Stain leave, so turned to Kenji.

"No you wont! Kenji-kun!"

"Right!"

Kenji saw Mirio moving forward, so Kenji unleashed a massive wave of Death for Stain, who leapt up into the air to avoid it, but Mirio moved through the Death with his Quirk, allowing Mirio's feet to touch the ground so he didn't have to phase that part, then he leapt right at the surprised Stain.

"As if!"

Stain slashed at him without a moments pause even if he was surprised. Even Mirio was stunned by the speed of the slash that was sent towards him.

Thankfully, it went through Mirio's body, surprising Stain, who tried to pull backwards…

But suddenly felt a wall appearing behind him made of the earth.

"Shit..."

His eyes darted down to see Kenji raising up the earth with his Life and Death ability, and then raised three more walls at a good distance apart and the right thickness for both Mirio to use, and for Stain to not be able to escape out of.

"Got it Senpai!"

"Well done Kenji-kun, I've got this!" Mirio turned his attention to Stain who readied himself."This is the Mikami Togata Combo!"

Using Kenji's earth walls, Mirio could use his power at a super close range, using the repelling aspect to eject him out of the wall, and allowed Mirio to deliver a barrage of attacks, hitting his legs and arms, with so much force that Kenji thought that Stains limbs would at least be damaged if not outright broken.

Mirio then punched Stain downwards, and slammed him down into the earth, causing it to break a little bit.

Mirio gave Kenji a good smile as he landed on the ground, with Kenji returning it.

"It seems that our combo was a success!"

Mirio cheered, turning back to Stain.

Kenji went to reply happily...but saw that Stain was turning into a muddy substance, something Kenji recognized.

"Twice's Double..."

"A cloning Quirk. So that's not the real Stain..."

Kenji began thinking about Stain's words, and why he had come there exactly.

"But, he did confirm that Yami is working with Chisaki. I wonder though...is she just after the bullets? Or does Chisaki have something else that makes him more appealing to her? I want to say that even this was something that had a deeper meaning...Yami doesn't do things like this without a reason. Perhaps she's trying to throw us off from her true goal. Perhaps she doesn't even want anything from Chisaki, and is after something else but needs Chisaki to get the thing that she desires. And Stain himself, he isn't the type to drop cryptic warnings like that. He's always forthcoming with what he wants to share, he's never hid his intentions from me as far as I can remember."

"Hmmm...those are good points. You know her better than I do, but that does make sense to me. We should report this to Sir. Whatever she's after, she's clearly going to be supporting Chisaki, and if she is, then we'll need more support."

"Yes, Senpai."

Agreeing, Kenji and Mirio quickly contacted Sir Nighteye while they surveyed the area in case that Yami or Stain was still around.

But ultimately, they couldn't find anything.

Later on, Kenji and Izuku returned back to the dorms, while speaking about what happened during the day, walking in through the gates, and headed for the doors.

"How did the session with Sir come along Deku-kun?"

Izuku scratched the back of his head.

"I-I couldn't grab the seal in the end. Though I tried hard, his Quirk was able to help him dodge every move I made. Though he didn't say anything, he looked impressed that I didn't touch any of his posters, or All Might figurines as I ran and bounced off the walls."

"I'm sure he'll come around eventually."

Izuku hoped that was the case also.

"You also saw Stain's clone…?"

"Yes...I feel as if he was there to throw us off. I don't know why, but the way he chose to word his sentence's, it would make sense if he was trying to merely throw us off our game...but, I feel like he's leaving a massive hint, what Yami is truly after...working with Chisaki, I thought that she might simply be after those bullets, but I don't necessarily think that's all she's after. She might be deranged, but she's a smart woman. She doesn't do things without a reason..."

"We'll stop her eventually Ken-kun. Together, with even your brother and Mother, we could overcome her. She might be powerful but we still have a chance to win."

Kenji hoped that was the case.

He thought about it a little bit more, while Izuku recalled the words that Sir had said to him that day, about who the Quirk should have gone to, and it played on his mind, so he decided to voice his thoughts.

"Ken-kun, what Sir Nighteye said today...about my Quirk..."

Kenji knew where Izuku was going with it.

"Don't worry about it Deku-kun, you've come so far from when you first received the power. I know that it might sound harsh...but, I think the reasons why he is like that..."

Kenji remembered what happened with Sir Nighteye, and how he had told him about All Might's possible death in the future.

He wasn't sure how to speak about it with Izuku, and thought about perhaps having All Might speak with Izuku. He didn't want Izuku to not know, but he also knew that if it came from him, Izuku might be more worried than necessary and should come from All Might.

"Yes, perhaps I did. But what he said...if All Might had given you the Quirk, you'd be able to do much more than I can...if you didn't know it could go to me that day, if you never met me and All Might offered you the power...would you take it?"

Kenji was mildly surprised that Izuku was even asking it. He wondered if Sir Nighteye had gotten to him more than he had thought.

"Would I take it...I don't know. It definitely would be tempting, and I can get what Sir has been saying, but right now, I'm glad it went to you, Deku-kun. You're able to use it quite well. I'm sure if Mirio-senpai knew of the secret, he'd say the same thing. We wouldn't take it from you now, that's what you're hinting at, right?"

Izuku nodded in agreement.

"Yes...I was just thinking, I could give it to you..."

Kenji paused, when he felt someone close by.

He looked to the gates of the school, and knew who it was and that they were eavesdropping, so he began speaking.

"You can be better than All Might Deku-kun, you taught me that I could also be a Hero, when everyone else didn't want me around. Before we met, and after my Father, sister, and brother left, I didn't have any confidence in myself. I knew I had this strong Quirk, but I hated it, it's because of you that I was able to...like all of myself again. I hated half of me for so long, when I looked into the mirror, all I could see was my Father's side, my Death, and everyone else also saw that. You were my first true friend, it's because of you that I came this far. You, and others like Kacchan, Shoto-chan, Momo-chan, my Mother, and everyone else that's supported me. I want to be a Hero right beside you, Deku-kun." His eyes went back to the gates. "Is that fine for an interview, Kizuki-san?"

Chitose stepped out of the shadows, with Izuku looking baffled.

He looked to Kenji to make sure that she didn't know about One For All, which he confirmed with a shaking head to his relief.

Chitose let out a small laugh.

"Yes, I think that was quite perfect, Kenji-kun." Her eyes went to Izuku. "And you, young Midoriya-kun, it seems you and your friend Kenji-kun there are quite the pair. I can see it, the friendship you have, it has touched a lot of your classmates as well. I've been hearing about your friendships all day, and how you've affected their lives in positive ways." Chitose pulled closer, and pushed the boys together. "Here, allow me to take a picture of you both for the article."

Kenji and Izuku shrugged, and consented, with their pair standing side by side as Chitose took the picture.

Smiling to herself, Chitose turned around and began walking away.

"Good luck boys, I'm sure you both will become amazing Hero's one day. Also, don't forget to read my article~"

With that, Chitose walked off campus, leaving Kenji and Izuku behind.

The pair looked to one another, before Kenji felt his stomach rumbling, the same with Izuku.

"Wanna get some food?"

Kenji suggested, Izuku let out a small laugh.

"Yes, lets go."

The two best friends went into the dorms, and had a good meal together.

The next day, Izuku, Kenji, Mirio, and Nighteye gathered together, all wearing their Hero Costumes.

Kenji kept thinking about Stain's words from the previous day. He was sure there was more to it than simply him just trying to be threatening, it wasn't Stain's style to do something like that. He always tried to make it interesting, he fought with a malicious intent, he didn't threaten, he just did what he wanted to do.

So him speaking those words seemed odd to Kenji.

While he thought about it, Sir Nighteye was giving off orders to the group of students.

"Since we've got a lot of ground to cover, I'll be going with Mikami, and Mirio, you'll be taking Midoriya to the west side of this city. It's best if myself and Mikami take the larger areas since he can use his Quirk to scan quicker." Mirio nodded strongly. "If we find any hint of the Yakuza, then report in at once, do not confront until we're all together, it is currently to dangerous, especially with what we've found out with Yami, and possibly Stain supporting them."

[Yes Sir!]

With a collective announcement, Kenji turned to Izuku.

"Good luck Deku-kun, but be careful if you run into Overhaul, he usually goes with a spike attack from below your feet. He can make a few good number of shapes, spikes, binds, things like that, he'll turn it into a playground of hell for you and a haven for him if you get what I mean."

"Right, I understand, keep an eye on the ground and his hands as well."

Kenji nodded and went to speak, when Sir Nighteye did instead.

"Mikami, we're leaving."

Kenji chortled awkwardly at Sir Nighteye, nodding his head.

"Then I'm off, see you later."

Kenji walked off with Sir while Mirio patted Izuku on the back.

"Ready to go?"

"Y-Yes, I'm ready."

With that, the pair walked off themselves.

Going through the city, they looked for any kind of clue that they could get. Mirio noticed that Izuku seemed to be nervous about something, so he addressed it.

"Are you worried about Overhaul?"

"Eheheh….he's been able to contend with Ken-kun before, who's got a better handle on his Quirk than I have, and Ken-kun said that he's fast, and skilled. I just don't want to make a mess of anything if we end up fighting him."

"As Sir said, we're merely doing reconnaissance than actual combat right now. If he attempts to engage us, then we'll have to fight of course, but don't worry, I'm sure that Kenji-kun and Sir will come and back us up if we need it!"

Izuku felt relieved when he said that.

He was trying his best to make sure that he didn't mess up.

They continued walking and searching as they got towards a town centre. With many people walking along, Izuku and Mirio continued looking around.

They went through the city centre, and had no luck.

They walked for over an hour, and they couldn't find even a hint of a lead.

But then as they came across an ice cream stand with children, and their parents treating them kindly to ice cream among other things, Izuku noticed someone looking towards them they leaned against a wall, licking an ice cream cone.

It was a young woman, with long blonde hair, tied into twin tails with a cute pink ribbon. She appeared to be quite young, a youthful expression on her face. Her green eyes felt captivating for him. She even wore a nice white dress that came to just above her knee, with a floral pattern all in black.

When noticing Izuku looking, the young woman gave a wink with a hint of an innocent smile on her face, causing Izuku to blush lightly.

When he looked around, he couldn't see anyone else that she would be winking at, so he gradually pointed towards himself, the young woman giggling sweetly, and continued to show off her innocent expression yet with a hint of mischievousness within her.

Izuku thought that she was quite cute, but he couldn't voice it, he was too nervous to do just that.

"Hey, it seems that she's looking at you."

Mirio nudged Izuku, who gushed even more.

"W-What Senpai?!"

"She's pretty cute, it seems that she's also interested in you. Do you know her?"

Izuku felt his natural shyness coming over him.

"N-No! It can't be possible, s-she's really p-pretty, and I-I am...e-eh….n-no, I don't know her..."

Mirio glanced up, and saw the young woman slowly pulling closer.

"Haha, she's coming over. Perhaps she wants to know you."

Izuku's face turned bright red with his unsure feelings, he wasn't used to girls being interested in him.

Mirio let out a chuckle, and he said "I'll go and get us some ice cream~" and walked off as he wished to be a good Senpai for Izuku, bypassing the incoming girl, who smiled kindly, Mirio doing the same thing, and then the young woman walked to the nervous looking Izuku.

When she got before him, she showed a grin on her face.

"Hey there~"

Something about her voice sounded slightly familiar, but he couldn't place his finger on it.

"H-Hi...I-I..."

The girl placed her finger on the green outfit that he had.

"It's a nice outfit, I've always liked the colour green. So, are you a Hero?"

She said kindly, Izuku speaking to a pretty girl was very difficult, and some ramblings came out of his mouth for a few moments, before she tilted her head in wonder, so he tried to fix it himself, and breathed in and out slowly, calming his heart down.

"N-No! I-I'm j-just a Hero in t-training right now!"

The girl pulled backwards, placing her free hand on her flushing cheek. Her other hand hadn't left his chest quite yet, something Izuku was very aware of.

"Ooh my, so you're a Hero in training? I could have sworn that you were a Hero, but I haven't seen a Hero as cute as you before~"

Izuku's face deeply went into crimson, and he felt his heart smashing against his chest. It felt as if it was going to erupt out of his body. Her slender finger ran down his body, he bit his lip so he didn't say anything despite his lips quivering at the touch that she gave him.

"T-Thank you ma'am..."

"Ma'am...you don't have to call me that, Izuku."

Izuku's face began to fall, noticing a change in her voice, along with her knowing his name.

It became much lower, scarier.

The girls smile turned from kindly cute, to a scary sadistic looking smile.

"...Y-You're..."

He barely could speak as she slid her hand into his hand, and squeezed it tightly.

He winced when feeling her hand as she let out a joyous laugh.

"It was fun playing an innocent girl for a few moments, Izuku dear. I haven't played like that in a while."

He definitely knew who this was.

There was no mistaken it now.

"...Yami..."

The newly revealed Yami ran a hand through her hair.

"Like it? I recently got a Quirk that can change my hair colour on a whim, the same with my eyes. My skin also looks quite young doesn't it? I look about your age now, don't I? It's a wonder what people can do nowadays with Quirks~ I barely resemble my normal form huh? Even you were fooled."

Izuku felt panic entering his heart.

He wanted to run away.

But her strength was hard to move.

She wouldn't let go.

"Sen-"

"You scream for your Senpai, and I'll start killing." She threatened menacingly yet kept up a sweet tone which made it even more frightening. "That couple on the bench." Izuku looked, seeing said couple. "Those three teenagers skipping school by the ice cream cart." Izuku saw them as well. "And that old man playing chess by himself on that table." Izuku looked to see him as well. "I'll start with them, understood? You're smart enough to know you couldn't save them all, don't you?"

"..."

Izuku nodded without a word being uttered.

Yami giggled sweetly, petting Izuku's face with her free hand as he cringed.

"Good boy, I'm proud you're not like that All Might, you're at least a smarter possessor of the Quirk than he was. All he ever spoke about was peace and justice and all that crap. Talk about stupid."

Izuku hated that she was berating All Might, but right now, he didn't have a choice but to accept it, knowing she could kill him if she was so inclined to do so.

"H-How did you...f-find me?"

"I have my ways and means, the trick is finding you alone, so I took a chance like this." She pulled closer to Izuku as he flinched at the closeness. "What's wrong dear? I wont hurt you. I can't kill you yet, you've still got something precious to me."

"Y-You're lying...a-all you do is cause pain..."

He bravely spoke up, something that made Yami laugh.

"That's not nice, I'm here to speak to you. I didn't come here to cause harm. Though if you want me to, then I guess that I could..."

"N-No please don't!"

Yami put on a coy smile at Izuku's panic.

"Now, now, calm down. Don't want attention drawn to us, do you? People might panic, and when they panic, they die."

Izuku shook his head as he felt his body shaking.

It felt even worse than when he saw Tomura in the mall.

This felt like a new level of evil that he hadn't confronted before.

It felt like he was right next to All For One.

She was that terrifying.

"What do you want…?"

He summoned the courage to speak to her.

She petted his face slightly roughly, causing him to flinch more and more by the second.

"You know what I want Izuku. It's time to be a good boy, and give One For All back to our family where it rightfully belongs. This time, there's no one to stop me. No one's coming to save you. That Senpai of yours, cannot beat me. We're all alone, just you and me. I'm not a sadist myself so once you've handed it over, I'll make your death as quick and painless as possible."

Izuku felt panic entering his heart.

He glanced at Mirio who seemed to be blissfully unaware of what was happening.

Even he was caught by surprise.

He only caught on when she spoke in her usual creepy tone.

Before that, even he was fooled by her appearance.

But now, he didn't know what to do.

If he tried to fight, he along with everyone in the area, could be killed.

Even if Mirio could know what was going on, Izuku didn't know if he'd be able to handle Yami in a fight.

Even All Might had said that she was too dangerous to take on alone.

All Izuku could do now is hope for a way out of this situation.

He'd have to do something, and hope for the best...

End chapter!

First of all, Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great Christmas as well!

So, this was a bit more light hearted kind of chapter before we get into more of what's gonna happen this arc coming up, and talking to various characters, and seeing some of their relationship dynamics.

Chitose came up, and interviewed members of the class, each with their own kind of stories to tell, while trying to find any major scoop from the class that's being kept secret, on the orders of the place she works, but what she found out, isn't what she had expected.

While that happened, Izuku, Kenji and Mirio went towards Sir, who still isn't convinced, but it seems for the moment, that with what Kenji has said along with Izuku being a huge fan of All Might, he'll see if Izuku is worth it and Izuku himself . Kenji and Mirio came across Stain's clone, and spoke briefly to him, with him revealing a few things and Kenji believing there was more to what he said than his actual words, also we saw Mirio and Kenji's teamwork to take down Stain's clone within a single attack.

Then Kenji and Izuku spoke briefly, Kenji showing that Izuku was a big factor in why he was able to progress as far as he could.

Then at the end, Izuku thought that he had met a nice girl, but it turns out that it was Yami, who's cornered Izuku. She's not holding back now.

Well, until next time, thanks for reading everyone!
