AN: Hello readers! I have finally returned with a chapter for this story:)

I'm sorry for the wait as I didn't plan on having nearly a little over a month of not uploading anything. University is coming closer and closer to winter break, where it almost always seems like my professors decide to make everything due at the same time which made it hard for me to find time to write out this chapter. Thanks for all the follows and favs in the time I was gone.

Well with all that out of the way, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

As always, please leave a review on anything you liked, think I should work on, or just any questions in general! I enjoy reading them and I will answer them at the end of the next chapter:D

Chapter 8

Rescue Points!?

One painstakingly long week passed before anything was sent out to the participants of the Entrance Exams to let them know if they had met the required qualifications to pass. The wait would have nearly killed Reiza if it had gone on any longer as she was not a patient person when it came to these things, running loops inside of her own head on everything they would probably factor into her score.

She was put in the rare position of being nervous and the tiniest amount of fearful, wondering on and on again if her measly 25 battle points would be enough to get into the school of elites where such a low percentage was ever accepted in taking the hero course no matter how skilled they were with their quirk.

She had almost drove Tekine mad with how much pacing and nail biting she did from sunup to sun down, resorting to kicking her out of their apartment a multitude of times to go elsewhere, so she could concentrate with whatever she was working on and force her to try and relax.

When she had finally seen the UA insignia from afar on the piece of mail that Tekine had brought her that night, it was almost like Reiza had either teleported or used super speed to get to the other side of the room in seconds, nearly knocking Tekine over to reach for it.

"Kusei!" Tekine shouted in surprise. She instinctively slammed her fist on the top of her head, seeing her niece twitch on the ground as smoke rose up into the air. "Cool it!"

"Owwwww…" Reiza groaned as tears comedically fell from her eyes. "Th-That hurt."

"Yeah well, that was the point." Tekine said as she crossed her arms with a small vein pulsating from her forehead. She let out a small sigh to calm down, wearing a strained smile on her face as she sat the letter on top of Reiza's head. "I guess it's warranted though, since you've been waiting for this for a while now. So here ya go."

Reiza perked up immediately, holding the letter in both of her hands as she ran towards the door and quickly put her shoes on.

"Where are you off to now?" Tekine asked in amusement, seeing a bright smile on Reiza's face when she turned to look over at her.

"Ichi and I agreed to meet up at Momo's house whenever they sent our results." Reiza replied. Before she could say anything else, her phone vibrated in her pocket, looking down and seeing the girl in question telling her she was already there. "And unsurprisingly, it seems I'm the one who's fashionably late."

Tekine laughed at that as she went and opened the door for her, looking down at her with a reassuring smile on her face. "Well, go on now." She said. "I'll see you later for dinner."

Reiza hummed at that as she nodded her head, running out through the door in hopes to make it to Yaoyorozu's house in a timely manner.

A little while later…

Yaoyorozu's Residence

Yaoyorozu was sitting on the sofa within her living room reading a book, taking a sip of her tea and sat it back down on the table in front of her. She looked over in amusement at the couch off towards the side, seeing Akari fast asleep after she had tried her best to wait for Reiza to get here.

Even though it wasn't really late yet, it seemed Akari's internal clock thought otherwise, having to take a power nap after a while due to her energy being as low as it was.

As Yaoyorozu turned to the next page of her book, a bell sounded through the area, prompting the sleeping girl to stir for a few moments before laying on her side. Yaoyorozu let out a small laugh from seeing that as she raised up off the couch, going over to the door and opening it to see Reiza standing there.

"Hey Momo!" Reiza greeted as she came inside, taking her shoes off at the front door. "Sorry I was late. There must have been some kind of delay in the mail for me to get it so late."

"Oh no, you're fine. We haven't been waiting too long." Yaoyorozu said with a wave.

"Okay, that makes feel just a bit better." Reiza remarked before she paused, looking around in some type of confusion. "Hey wait, where's Ichika?"

"Well, about her." Yaoyorozu said with a giggle, seeing the silverette raise an eyebrow.

It didn't take long for Reiza to see the brunette sleeping on the couch, smiling mischievously as she thought of a plan to wake her up. She placed herself right in front of the couch, jumping up into the air to land right on top of her, before she found herself across the room smacked right into a wall in a matter of seconds.

Yaoyorozu let out a small shriek of surprise as she saw Reiza slide down to the floor in a daze, hearing Akari let out a sigh as she lowered her hand towards her side with the yellow aura around it fading immediately.

She had been somewhat awake since she heard the doorbell, finding herself already irritable from what she knew the downed girl was going to do from the moment she got in here.

"You're such an annoying moron, Kusei..." Akari sighed. "I'm already low on energy, so can you not make me use the rest of it to deal with your stupid antics?"

Reiza only replied with a small grunt from her mouth, groaning internally from how her jokes were getting her closer and closer to giving her a concussion for no reason at all.

"Owwwww," She grimaced as she raised up slightly, looking over at Akari with a bright red mark across her face. "You know, you could've just moved out of the way. Not nearly break my face and my brain."

"Well, you could've just left me alone." Akari deadpanned. "All of this could have been avoided if you actually used that head to think and not instead do things on impulse."

Before Reiza could retort back, she froze when she heard Yaoyorozu say, "She's right. I've probably told you that hundreds to maybe even thousands of times at this point. "

"Wait you're taking her side?" Reiza pouted as fake tears fell from her eyes. "I never thought I would be betrayed by you of all people."

"Ugh, stop being overdramatic." Akari groaned, rising up to her feet as she brought out her hand to get Reiza up to stand. "Come on and let's find out these results already so we can finally get this over with. I was going to end up pulling my hair out if I had to wait any longer for this little piece of paper to tell me if I passed or failed."

Reiza immediately perked up from hearing that, practically jumping to her feet when Akari tugged on her arm.

Akari shook her head slightly, though had the inklings of a smile at the corners of her lips as soon as Reiza had turned around. They all gathered around a round table, both intently staring down at their respective envelopes in some form of hesitation.

"So," Reiza said after a while.

"Which one of us should go first?" Akari finished.

They both thought on it for a long time, with Yaoyorozu being the one to think of something almost instantly.

"How about you mix them up while I'm not looking and then turn around so that neither of you know which one I pick up. When we see the name on the envelope, that'll be the person who goes first." She explained.

It seemed pretty fair, enough that Akari and Reiza agreed that it would be the best course of action. When Yaoyorozu turned around, they spurred into action around the same time, switching back and forth between each other almost 40-50 times for good measure. When they were done, they both hesitantly stepped back and looked away from Yaoyorozu, having disinterest and a smile on their respective faces as sweat poured from their foreheads.

Who is it going to be? Who is it going to be!? They both thought.

As Yaoyorozu walked over with the envelope in hand, she brought it down to their view to show the name of the girl going first, with her already letting out a sigh at the sight as she tried her best to not look as anxious as she was.

"I would be the one to go first…" Akari grumbled softly

"Aw, is the quirk prodigy actually scared of what she got? Think you missed out on getting a perfect score?" Reiza teased.

Akari's cheeks flushed red at that as she held herself back from pounding the girl into the floor again, looking up at Yaoyorozu with a slightly irritated expression.

"Well, let's go ahead and get this over with." Akari stated.

She grabbed the envelope from Yaoyorozu and proceeded to open it. Some level of confusion fell on her face when a small disc popped out, setting it down on the table in front of them.

"What the heck is that thing?" Reiza asked in surprise. "Are you sure you grabbed the right envelope, Ichika?"

Akari looked down at the envelope in her hands, turning it around and seeing the insignia of UA on the front.

"Yeah I-"

Before she could finish her sentence, the disc lit up out of nowhere as a large projection filled the area, scaring the daylights out of all of them when they heard someone's loud, booming voice right in front of them.

"No worries girls! I AM FINALLY HERE!" He shouted. "Sorry, I was in the middle of giving someone else's results when you opened your envelope."

Different looks of surprise and shock fell on Akari's and Yaoyorozu's face, while Reiza stood behind them with an unreadable expression on hers when she realized who was in front of them.

It was All Might, someone known well throughout Japan as the Number 1 Hero and Symbol of peace. Someone all looked up to and admired.

Well…

Almost everyone that is.

Why the hell is he even doing here? Reiza thought, narrowing her eyes slightly, though went unnoticed by the others since they didn't see her expression.

"Wait, is that really All Might?" Akari asked mostly to herself.

"Why would someone like you be doing this?" Yaoyorozu questioned before realization fell on her face. "Unless…"

"Indeed, young girl. You are currently looking at the newest UA faculty member!" He announced triumphantly as he bowed.

Yaoyorozu let out a small gasp as the look of surprise grew even larger on Akari's face, with Reiza's getting darker in comparison as she tightly clenched her hands into fists at her sides.

"Alight well, it's time to get to business. Ahem…" All Might continued on as he cleared his throat. He pointed towards them with an iconic smile on his face. "Which one of you is known by the name of Akari Ichika?"

Akari was still too stunned by the overall situation to respond right away, breaking Reiza out of her dark haze as a genuine laugh came out of her mouth. She walked up and wrapped her arm around Akari's neck, seeing a blush immediately rise up on her face as she forced a smile in All Might's direction.

"This girl right here is the one you're looking for. Sorry for her rudeness, she's not the best at times when it comes to talking to people." Reiza remarked, missing the glare that came in her direction.

Some surprise flashed in All Might's eyes as Akari turned and elbowed Reiza in the stomach, sending her down to the floor as she tried to recover from such a blow without passing out.

Wait is that Kutoro's and Ayashi's daughter? He thought to himself.

It has been some years since I've last seen her. With the last most likely being the day that Kutoro was laid to rest. I nearly didn't recognize her for how much she has grown, but she definitely has grown into her mother's looks and her father's personality.

With her being in close proximity to Tekine, I bet some of her personality has rubbed off on her as well.

"Umm, All Might?" Akari questioned, breaking him out of his thoughts.

He had gone quiet after a while as his hollowed-out eyes stared down at them, leaving her at a loss of what happened to do it. His eyes widened as he cleared out his throat for a second time.

"Oh, sorry about that!" All Might stated, getting back into character as some results were displayed next to him. It had a list of the participants that cut off to show only the top 2, with Akari being placed within the top spot. "Now, not only did you pass the written exam with flying colors, but you also managed to attain the top spot within the practical! So excellent work!"

One of Yaoyorozu's eyebrows quirked upwards as a hand was brought up to her chin, seeing that the total of the participant below her named "Katsuki Bakugou" had the same amount of battle points as she did. "If she and the person in 2nd place tied with 77 Battle points, what was it that determined her to be pushed into a higher spot?"

Reiza raised up when she heard that, sweatdropping at the sheer amount of points Akari got in comparison to her.

I'm not surprised that she somehow managed to be first, but she must've actually been trying to get that many points in the time we were given. Reiza thought, wearing a strained smile on her face as she looked towards the ground.

Even if I don't regret using some of that time to help Midoriya and that other girl, I know that my 25 points won't be enough to pass this thing. And that's not even including the possible chances of me probably coming close to failing the written part of the exam.

Her dream of becoming a hero seemed to be growing dimmer every passing second as she nearly conceded in defeat. But that was before hearing what the pro hero said next to them began to give her some hope.

"Well, young girl, that is due to there being something else that we took into account when conducting this exam." All Might explained as a second column was revealed to them.

When Reiza looked up, her eyes instantly widened.

"Rescue points?" Reiza mumbled to herself, too shocked to see Yaoyorozu look over at her in surprise. "Th-They had rescue points?"

All Might nodded. "Indeed, there was a panel of judges that watched this exam and awarded points to those who did heroic acts beyond just defeating villains." He explained. He raised his hand towards where clips of Akari during the Entrance Exam appeared, seeing her release dozens upon dozens of beams of light that it almost looked like some type of light show. "You showed high amounts of power, skill, control, and range within this test by directing your attacks to avoid any of the participants to destroy your targets. Whether you did it on purpose or absentmindedly, there were times that those participants were saved by your efforts, especially at the end of the test when the 0-pointer robot appeared."

Some level of surprise came onto the faces of Yaoyorozu and Reiza, turning as Akari looked away from them with heat coming across her face. All Might showed the feed of the end of the test within Battle Test Center A where the massive robot had begun to enter the frame.

It didn't take long before the camera switched to show Akari, seeing her in front of someone that they could only see had short purple hair. Her amber eyes brightened as a yellow aura developed around her, pushing her arms forwards to send what seemed like nearly 50-100 beams of light. It scrapped the robot almost instantly as she crashed to her knees onto the ground, panting tiredly as whoever she was protecting came to check on her.

When it ended, All Might's smile grew even larger. "You indeed have what it takes to be both a defender and hero of justice! There is no doubt that you deserve to earn a spot in UA and deserve the additional 30 points that was added to your score with the Rescue points. So good work!"

"Good job Akari!" Yaoyorozu congratulated.

"Yeah nice work. To think you would even tire yourself out for this is surprising enough." Reiza added with a smile, seeing Akari cross her arms and look away from them to hide her flustered face.

All Might cleared his throat as his hallowed gaze looked over at Reiza, bringing out his hand to point in her direction.

"Now it is your turn, young Reiza Kyokusei!" All Might called out.

Yaoyorozu and Akari stiffened when they heard that, looking over at Reiza who remained unfazed from the Number 1 hero knowing who she was. The amusement that was formerly on her face faded almost instantly, wearing a smile that almost seemed forced to not show it as her sky-blue eyes hardened into ice.

This stopped them from pressing for some context, seeing her walk towards the projection as an unnatural chill filled the air.

"Go whenever you're ready." Reiza simply stated.

All Might seemed to flinch ever so slightly from her tone, causing a brief awkward silence to fall in the room before the chart changed to display her results.

The expression on her face faded from its hard look for a few moments when she saw her score, feeling a wave of relief fill her system from her seeing her spot in the rankings.

"I got 50 rescue points, putting me somehow in 3rd place?" She said in disbelief. "But how is that even possible? Did I really do something that amazing?"

"You shouldn't discredit yourself just because of your low Battle point total." All Might remarked as a video feed of Reiza's accomplishments popped up next to him. "As I said, there are other things that a hero should have other than just brute power and skill. The ability to let go of your own pride and ego to fight for the protection of others is heroic in itself. Self-sacrifice is a natural virtue for all pro heroes to have, which it seems you embody to the fullest extent!"

"Not only did you save them, but you inspired others to do the same. Meaning you, Reiza Kyokusei, is also worthy of a spot within UA!" All Might continued before bringing one of his hands to cup around his mouth as he leaned in closer. "But do be sure to put the same amount of effort in your studies. Not saying you had the worst score, but I know you can do better than what you did."

Reiza didn't comment on that, nervously scratching her chin as her friends let out sighs behind her from knowing that he was right.

After they congratulated her and as soon as All Might said his goodbyes and clicked off, Yaoyorozu laughed a little under her breath and looked over at the two girls standing next to her. "Well that was a little bit more eventful than I thought it was going to be." She remarked.

"That's an…understatement." Akari sighed. "To think that of all heroes to be at UA this semester, it'll be the one who's at the top." Her lips turned upwards slightly as she turned to look over at Reiza. "I don't remember you ever telling us that you knew All Might. Is it because-"

She paused in some form of shock after seeing the unnaturally dark look in Reiza's eyes as she stared at the disc sitting on the table. It was almost like she hadn't heard what Akari had said to her, even gaining Yaoyorozu's attention as well as she laid a hand on her shoulder.

"Kusei?" Yaoyorozu said hesitantly as her onyx eyes met with surprised blue ones. "Is something wrong?"

Reiza took a few seconds to answer that question, letting out a small laugh as she smiled over at them.

"Oh, sorry. I guess I got lost in my head for a second there." Reiza said with a closed eyed smile. "What were you saying?"

"You don't have to answer it if you don't want to, but I was just wondering why it seemed like All Might was familiar with you." Akari stated, feeling wary of the fakeness within Reiza's features.

"I was actually wondering the same thing." Yaoyorozu added. "Is it because he knows you're related to Miss Tekine?"

"Yeah," Reiza simply said as her eyes fell slightly. "You could say that. It's more for the reason that he and my father were close. From what I've been told before, they and my mother were enrolled in UA together." She paused for a long while before her smile returned, looking over at Yaoyorozu and Akari with a wavering expression. "But enough about that. Is it okay if we just talk about something else? Other than him, I mean."

Yaoyorozu and Akari nodded, seeing Reiza's grin widen as she walked through the both of them and back into the living room. They both looked at each other nervously as they arrived at the same conclusion of there something being off about her.

Her personality and smile was always able to light up any room she was in, with the one she was wearing just a second ago and even now doing almost the complete opposite as the chill had yet to diminish.

About one hour later…

Akari walked with Reiza all the way to her apartment building since it was on the way to her own house, stopping the girl from walking inside as she clutched onto her arm.

Ever since they had learned of their passing results for the Entrance Exam, Reiza had been acting…well sort of off for some unknown reason that neither her nor Yaoyorozu had still yet to figure out.

She told Yaoyorozu that she would press for the matter, with this being a time as any from her abnormal behavior still carrying on at this point that the smile on her face still couldn't hide completely.

"Huh? What's up with you, Ichika?" Reiza asked before a small giggle escaped her mouth. "It's not like you to be so handsy with me."

Akari let her comment slide as she let out a heavy sigh, looking up at Reiza with enough softness to surprise the silver-haired girl it was directed towards.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you, Kusei?" Akari asked as she let go and put her hands into her pockets.

"There's isn't anything wrong with me." Reiza said, jokingly checking herself for any type of invisible wounds on her body. "Other than the one or two training sessions me and Aunt Kine did this week, I haven't exerted myself all that much lately since the exams."

"I think we both know that's not what I'm referring to." Akari pressed as she narrowed her eyes. "Ever since we saw All Might give us our results earlier, you've been acting weird. You're faking your emotions which isn't like you at all. Kyokusel Reiza doesn't tend to hide how she feels for any situation no matter how badly timed it is. So, my question is why is she trying to do it now?"

It didn't take long for Reiza's smile to fall as the light in her eyes faded ever so slightly. "Wow, even after all of these years of not being around each other, you still can somehow read me like a book." She said with a small laugh. "If I worried you and Momo somehow, I'm sorry. He just…reminded me of Dad not being here, I guess. I may not of had much time with him but…I still really wish he was here. "

Even though she could tell that her words were genuine, Akari noticed that Reiza was holding something back. Within her eyes, they were partially filled with sadness, but there was almost like some sort of anger in them as well that she didn't feel too comfortable pressing into. She didn't want to upset or anger her by pressing into her personal issues. She may have known her longer than most, but that time of not being around each other did take a hit towards there bond it seems.

Reiza never usually kept anything hidden from her like this when they were younger. And if she even hid it from Yaoyorozu as well, it meant that this was something that Reiza harbored for herself only to know.

She may not like the secrecy, but it wasn't her place to try and pry for said secret, at least not right now anyway. She put her fist out towards her . "I understand that. It's natural for you to feel that way. Just know that me and Yaoyorozu are always open if you want to talk to us about it."

"Yeah I know." Reiza said amusedly, raising her own fist to bump Akari's softly. "That's what great friends do for each other, right?

"Right."

As soon as Akari was out of view as she went to go towards her home which wasn't all that far away, Reiza's face fell into the expression that it had been wanting to do for a long while now. She felt her hands shaking at her sides as a massive shadow fell on her face, remembering the face of the man that smiled so casually at her before even though he knew who she was from the get-go.

To say that she completely hated the Number 1 hero was not accurate, but to say that she liked or even looked up to the hero was a different story. It hadn't always been like this as she had dreamed to rise up the ranks and become just like him just like most of the heroes of this city.

But….

How could she now when the very man known as the Symbol of Peace didn't even stop her father from dying at the very hands of the villains he supposedly can subdue within seconds?

How could she look at the hero in the same light, when he didn't even try to save the man that was supposedly a close friend of his?

And…

How could he leave both her mother and aunt alone to wallow in their grief as he went off to who knows where for a time and decide that now it's right to show his face after all this time?

"Resent" would probably be a good word to describe how she felt about the hero as she just couldn't let go of the amount of hurt his lack of action to save the one thing that probably would have prevented her life from falling to shambles for a time, being blamed, laughed at, and ignored just because her mother handled her grief in a harmful manner.

She felt so alone during that time…Abandoned and tossed to the side just because she was related to a woman that chose the life of a villain over taking care of the child that was about as sad as she was. It took a long while for her to recover from that emotionally, something she wonders even now if she's still trying to do even though Tekine has taken Kutoro's and Ayashi's place to be the parental figure she never knew she actually needed. She was able to help fill the void in her heart along with Yaoyorozu and now recently Akari.

She stood there for a while trying to get a handle over her emotions before she came face to face with her aunt, letting out a sigh as she turned around. She bumped into something just as she did, looking up and seeing Tekine standing right there with a concerned or skeptical look in her eyes.

"I thought I heard someone come in earlier." Tekine said as she smiled and quirked one of her eyebrows upwards. "But what I didn't expect is to see you having a staring contest with the door for almost a full 1 or 2 minutes. Are you alright?"

"Y-Yeah, I'm 100% A-Okay!" Reiza immediately said with a grin. She took some time to take her shoes off and left them at the front door when she walked away. "I wonder what the 5-star chef made for dinner tonight…"

Tekine eyed the girl's back as she turned the corner, narrowing her look slightly. Yaoyorozu had texted her earlier about Reiza's odd behavior, witnessing for herself that the teen was not far off the mark. It was like she was pushing herself to look cheerier than she usually is, overcompensating to hide whatever was bothering her. As she sat there for a while, she shook her head and let out a small sigh.

She was fine before she left here earlier. So, what happened to make her mood change so quickly in just the 1-2 hours she was over there?

A couple hours later…

Reiza was laying on her bed, staring down at a picture frame that was resting at her side. It was a group photo of her father, mother and All Might all smiling back at the camera in their younger years at UA with their hero uniforms on.

Her expression fell slightly, before she heard a light pounding on her door, instantly grabbing it to hide under her pillow.

"Hey, Kusei! Is it all right for me to come in?" Tekine asked.

"Yeah, it's open."

Tekine promptly walked in to sit on the teen's bed, with Reiza already showing her a wide toothy grin.

"What brings you to my humble abode?" Reiza questioned.

"Kyokusei," Tekine began sternly before her expression softened ever so slightly. "Are you really alright? I don't think you've ever been so quiet or stuck in your room as long as you have these last few hours."

"Yeah I'm good." Reiza responded. "I guess finally finding out what I got during the exams tired me out a bit. "

Tekine skeptically looked over at her before rising up to her feet and automatically moving her pillow. It didn't surprise Reiza all that much when she did, resigning to show off a downcast look as she looked away from the older woman.

"You're not being all that believable at the moment with this in your bed." Tekine stated. "Let me rephrase it this way: What is wrong with you, Kusei?"

Reiza hesitated for a few moments before a strained smile came on her face. "I don't think there's anything I could say that could actually narrow down what I'm feeling right now. I got to see the renowned Symbol of Peace today when he read off my and Ichika's results after all, so I should feel ecstatic. Haven't seen him in years and he just so happens to come back the very year I'm trying to get into that school. Some Godfather he is, isn't he?"

Reiza didn't have to go any further than that for Tekine to know what she was thinking, setting the picture down back in its usual spot on her desk.

"Kusei you-"

"Don't," Reiza said before she could say anything else. "I may be in a bad mood, but don't go making it worse by trying to defend his actions like you always do. Even if it's a given, I should respect him for what he has done for others, it doesn't mean that I have to like him at the same time for the little that he has done for me."

She rose up from her bed and headed towards the door to the training room, before being pulled back as Tekine grabbed her arm.

"I know it's hard not having Kutoro around even after all this time. Believe me, I understand that feeling more than you can even imagine. Meaning I know how easy it is to blame others along with yourself when there is no one to blame other than the people who did it." Tekine said sincerely as Reiza didn't even try to look in her direction as she shook in rage.

"I just told you to not go off defending him and there you go just blatantly trying to piss me off!" Reiza shouted angrily as she turned around with tears in the corners of her eyes. "Why shouldn't I blame him, when he should've been there!? He could've stopped him from dying, but HE DIDN'T!"

"Neither of us know the circumstances, Kyokusei. Yes, Toshi could've had the ability to help, but that idiot was about as reckless or even more so than you are when it came to his life!" Tekine stated sternly, grabbing Reiza by her collar so she could look her straight in the eye. "I know it may be hard to look at it from another perspective, but how do you think he felt when his friend died within his arms and he wasn't able to save him? Or how would you feel if Momo or Ichika died right in front of you and you were powerless to stop it?"

Reiza's eyes widened at that before she bit down on her cheek, conceding after a while as her head bowed forwards.

"Sorry, I d-didn't mean to lose my composure like that. O-Or upset you." Reiza said shakily, feeling Tekine gradually loosen her hold on her collar. She nervously grabbed hold of her own arm and looked down towards the floor. "It's just…I don't understand why he just left after what happened. Leaving you and…m-mom basically alone to cope somehow. I also know that I needed him there as well too bu-but…"

Reiza trailed off after a while before she released a heavy sigh, continuing on her path to go towards the training room where a punching bag was ready and waiting for her to pummel.

As she closed the door, Tekine let out a sigh of her own as she crossed her arms. "With him basically back in the picture, I already had a feeling that it could lead to making things interesting." She said to herself, already hearing loud punches ring out through the apartment.

"Though, I wonder how good or bad that's going to end up being at some point."

LostNeko120: Thanks! I decided to move the entrance to UA into the next chapter to give some more context into All Might's relation towards the Reiza's, with Kyokusei herself being in a rare position of disliking the hero.

I may have given a small nod to Jiro somewhere in this chapter. They meet her and the rest of class 1-A in the next chapter for the Quirk Apprehension test, where the story will hopefully start to get faster in its pacing as well as in its uploads;)

Thanks for your review!
