~{Author's Pre-Notes}~

HEEEEEEYO everybody! It's that time yet again. The time for yet another chapter from yours truly. It's finally time to head back to these internships and to reassure the lovely females of class 1-A that their cinnamon role is alright. We move on to see just how things are going for Enso getting back to his internship and to a new doubt angry Kamui.

But one thing I want to note out! As of this chapter coming out, Lynch's monstrous wolf, Ripjaw, will have her name officially CHANGE into a new name, Havoc. I looked back on her original name and thought, 'hm, this seems to be suffering a case of cringe' so I decided to go back to my retypes just to change her name. So yeah, from now on, that's what the wolf's name will be, Havoc.

I think it sounds fitting for something Lynch would name, heh.

And another thing... School will be starting up for me officially on September 28, so you know what that means?

A weirder... upload schedule.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna to lock this fic up so I can completely shut myself into school, nor am I gonna shove my other fic to the side for it. I'm gonna try and balance everything out, as much as I'm probably gonna regret it. But just know that because I'm heading back into my school life, things are gonna be slower. But I'm glad that all of you stuck with me this far and I hope you're all doing okay despite these troubling times. Expect a chapter of my other fic maybe soon in the first week of my school.

Answered Comments (Oldest to most recent):

PRemington900: He stole his sandwich, boom, reason for hate, heh. (Not really) And yeah, you could say Lynch is hypocritical, but he wants Enso to remember everything about himself so he can torment him when he's actually himself, if that makes sense. At the same time, Lynch believes to be someone different from who he was before, and is proud/loves how he is, and maybe his past is a reason why he doesn't want to be addressed by his previous name?

Enso to Iida and Todoroki: One hundred push-ups! One hundred sit ups! Heh. And yeah, Enso and Stain are kinda similar if you think about it. Thanks for reading!

PasiveNox,blue grimmoire,fpinhero96: You're welcome for the chapter!

Nick4Speed: Heh heh, cliffhangers are fun.

Astrogamer: DESPAIIIIIIIIIIR

SpiceR4: Enso still has more moves that haven't been shown yet since each of his styles have four moves in them. And as for Izuku, any moves he can create will most likely happen through more training with Enso now that he finally has control of Ikari. Oh, and as for your other comment about why I gave Izuku two flaws with Ikari, why wouldn't I!? If I didn't give him flaws, then he'd just be another overpowered Izuku in a lot of generic fanfics! Plus, these flaws make sense for Izuku and Ikari. Their bodies are linked, and although Ikari is fueled from the energy and anger of previous generations, he doesn't have an infinite amount. And if he and Izuku are really connected, then off course what happens to one would happen to the other.

Guest: Yeah, it's still a long way to go, but it's like I'm having a journey into my first journey with all these retypes, making everything more amazing for you guys. Thanks for the praise and I'll continue to work hard for you guys!

TQ679: Thanks for reading and here's more for you. :D

Vidkid: It's so easy to picture that to be honest, heh. But there's no doubt that Toga will be the MOST aggressive to Izuku than anyone.

Guest123: Yup, Danganronpa reference. I actually based Enso entirely off Izuku Kamikura since I just really wanted someone like him to be in the my hero universe. It wasn't until I started retyping chapters that I added more of his OWN character that others would love. And for the most part, everyone loves how funny and how just doesn't give a shit.

MasterOfTheCosmo: Old men just go through things man, so much that in the end they just stop giving a shit. You could see where Enso gets some of his own sass from.

Guest: He could probably learn Shoot Style early if he just starts thinking about new ways to use One Forr All, but for now, he's going to be focused on Onryo's fury! So with that in mind, he probably won't learn Shoot Style until the future.

Guest: He probably just left Izuku back where he found him or somewhere near there. And I'm sure anyone that would come upon him would call the police and send Izuku to the hospital.

Atomic11: Never watched Beserk, already knew the basic premise, and no, the branding on Izuku won't really cause anything to come close. It's just a message from Lynch.

Guest: Oh wow those are some really interesting things to learn! I might use some of that. Where did you even learn this stuff from? I'm curious to look back to it.

mauler564:I don't really have a time range or schedule of when I usually update, but apparently I've had it pointed out to me that I tend to update both my fics both during two weeks each or something. However... I know that things are going to be slower now with my school starting up.


~{Uwabami's Agency Limo-10:25 AM}~

"He's alright... He's alright...!" Momo was hugging her phone with deep breaths of relief to see a few texts from Izuku, which reassured her that he was fine and that he was a little shaken up because he ran into Stain.

"Phew..." Kendo was beside her friend in a limo, both of them wearing their hero costumes with Uwabami across from them. "Thank god... Was getting worried that he still wasn't responding."

Uwabami curiously gazed at the two girls that looked more relieved than when they ended a photoshoot with her. He saw Momo smiling happily with her eyes even looking a bit watery, and Kendo was leaning on her seat with her head up and eyes closed in relief. It seemed that whoever they heard from was rather important to them, so much that she got curious.

"You both seem happy." She smiled, leaning forward in her seat. "Care to share why?"

Her voice snapped both girls out of their relief and realized that the pro hero was in the vehicle with them, making them lightly blush.

"U-Um... Well... We just learned that one of our friends is safe..." Momo started.

Uwabami's smile faded, "Hold on, 'safe?' Did something happen?"

Kendo rubbed the back of her head, "Well... He kinda got mixed up in that whole incident in Hosu..."

Uwabami's eyes widened, "Wait, was he one of the three that encountered the Hero Killer before Endeavor saved them?"

Kendo nodded as Momo started texting Izuku back at lightning speeds, ignoring what Uwabami asked.

"Ooooooh." Uwabami's smiled returned. "Don't tell that it was the same boy that you called yesterday, Kendo? And also the one that made Yaoyororzu turn redder than Endeavor at full flames?"

Both girls stared at her as steam suddenly poofed on their heads, both looking nervous and embarrassed.

"Oh, I knew it!" Uwabami laughed with a clap of her hands. "You're both so adorable!"

Momo frantically moved his arms in all directions, turning redder by the minute. "I-It's not like that!"

"Oh, really? You've been calm and collected with such formal composure for the past two days, yet the moment that boy was involved, you become an adorable mess!" Uwabami smiled.

Kendo awkwardly looked away as Momo covered her face with both hands.

"Well... This just got awkward..." The ginger sighed.


~{Death Arm's agency}~

"You good?" Death Arms asked as he watched Jiro walk down the stairs, bags under her eyes.

"Yeah... I'm alright." Jiro was too tired from worrying about Izuku in Hosu so late, but she also had a small smile on her face after receiving messages from the boy that he was alive and well. Hearing from him again had instantly relieved her so much, just knowing that he was safe.

And yet... She was still worried.

Jiro's smile fell as she still recalled the conversation she overheard Enso had the previous night. Speaking to All Might, talking about 'Lynch,' there were still things she didn't know.

But for now... She was just glad Izuku was alright.

And speaking of what she heard yesterday-

"Hey... Death Arms?" The purple-haired girl asked as she followed the hero out of his agency building.

"Hm? What's up?" The pro stopped and turned his head back to her.

"Are we going to meet up with Mount Lady and... Kamui today?"

"Sorry, I've got my own plans for us today. I do plan to meet up with them another day for the week." Death Arms responded as he turned around and continued leading the way. "Why? Wanted to see your friends again?"

Jiro looked down as she walked with him.

"No... Well, I mean that'd be okay, but I was thinking about..."

She frowned.

"Asking... something."


~{Meanwhile}~

"He's okay!"

Both Mina and Toru shouted this over their phones the moment they called each other. It was the perfect thing to wake up to after all the worrying they did last night. To hear that Izuku was okay, that he was alive.

"See! I told you we'd hear from him!" Toru laughed over the phone.

"Phew... Yeah... I don't know why I was so worried." Mina chuckled as she laid back with her head on her pillow, a big smile on her.

"Heh... But to think he'd run into the Hero Killer... That's just his luck, isn't it?" Toru sighed.

"At least Iida and Todoroki were there, I'm sure they would've actually beat Stain if Endeavor didn't come to save them." Mina chuckled.

"Are Iida and Todoroki alright, now that I think about it?" Toru questioned.

"Midori said they're fine. They got a little cut up, but nothing serious. I'm just glad they're all alright. I didn't think they would end up running into the Hero Killer together..."

"Yeah." Toru suddenly found herself pondering how much of a coincidence it was for all of them to be together when the villain struck.

"Weird..."


~{Gunhead's Agency}~

"Oh, Uraraka? Your movements are so much better than yesterday!" Gunhead laughed as he stepped around the girl who was trying to grab him.

Ochako had a large smile on her face as she suddenly jumped back from Gunhead, who was holding a rubber knife. "I was worried yesterday, but now I'm good as new!"

"Good to hear! But..."

"WHA-!?" Ochako found her head spinning as she was flipped and slammed onto her back. "Ow... Ow..."

She opened her eyes to see Gunhead looking down at her while laughing.

"I hope you could maintain that positivity throughout the entire day!"

Ochako pouted.

"I'm gonna get stronger... I'm gonna be a great hero, just like Deku!"


~{Selkie's Agency}~

"Awwww, you look so cute when you're happy!"

Sirius was squealing as she saw Tsu with a precious smile as she ate her food, even making happy 'keros' occasionally.

Hearing her, Tsu turned to her friend with a tilt of her head. "Hm? What do you mean? Kero?"

Sirius laughed, "Ever since this morning, you've just been sparkling like sunshine against the water! And it's so cute to watch, hehe! I take it you've heard from your friend again?"

Tsu nodded, making a small 'kero' as she did so. "He's fine. He sure did make me worry, though."

"Then be sure to tell him that when you get back to school. Give him your best angry face." Sirius suggested.

"My best... angry face?" Tsu put a finger on her chin as she looked up in thought. She knew she never really got angry, so being told that seemed weird for her.

"Hm, let me try, kero."

Sirius then watched as the frog hero turned to her and lowered her eyebrows while puffing up her mouth and cheeks, unintentionally pouting.

"So, CUUUUUTE!" Sirius thought with a squeal.


~{Hosu Hospital- 10:44 AM}~

"Finally..."

Izuku let his head fall back on his pillow as he let out a sigh of relief.

"You finally texted everyone back?" Todoroki asked.

"Yeah... They were all really worried..."

"The girls?"

"Eh? No, not just the girls, several others from our class too. Why would it be just the girls?" Izuku blinked as he sat up with a question mark over his head.

Iida and Todoroki glanced at each other uncomfortably. On the one hand, they could just call Izuku dense and oblivious, but on the other... they understood why. Someone who's been kicked down and lowered in self-esteem for so long, being outcasted by everyone, and his general innocence added with it, it was no wonder why he didn't... get the idea.

"Nevermind." Iida and Todoroki both said at the same time.

Izuku blinked in confusion.

"Sooooo..." Ikari floated around the room, his ghost-like tail still connected to Izuku. "I know you may not want to talk about it, but... about the... 'thingy' on your back."

Izuku's body tensed up, his face turning... 'empty' for a moment as he gazed straight down while immediately starting to sweat.

"I-I... I..." He gulped, recalling the image on his back.

"You can't let him get into your head... Just because he branded something on you doesn't mean it's true... Everyone in your class would agree you're not the Deku that wrinkly-man said you were..." Ikari said as he floated beside his partner.

"He's right, Midoriya. Don't take everything he says personally. You're not what he makes you out to be." Todoroki spoke from across them.

"I-I know, b-but..." Izuku couldn't help but look down as his hand reached behind his back. "Still having it... hurts..."

"It'll be alright, Midoriya." Iida said, although sounding depressed as he said so.

"A-And... I'm gonna have to hide it... I have to think about it every day to hide it... If my mom saw this... I don't even know what she'd do." Izuku whimpered.

"It shouldn't be too hard to hide it... The only issue seems to be the locker room where we all usually change." Iida told him.

"Maybe start wearing a tank top? Or you could just keep your back to the wall since your locker is near the end of the room." Todoroki added.

"Y-Yeah... I'll... figure it out."

The door suddenly then slid open, and a nurse walked into the room with a smile.

"Tenya Iida and Shoto Todoroki? You're both expected to leave soon."

"Eh?" The two mentioned students uttered at the sudden news.

"Apparently, Todoroki, Endeavor came for you. The cuts on your back were only along the first layer of skin, and your arm has healed fairly well, so you should be good to go, just try not to move it too much. And Iida, your shoulder should be fine, but try not to do any physical work today. Your parents called to let you know that they're coming to take you to your brother, so I suggest you get ready."

"Huh? Why didn't they just call me directly?" Iida mumbled as he reached for his phone.

"Did you turn your phone off while going through that... phase?" Todoroki asked.

Iida paused for a moment, then hanging his head with a sigh. "Oof..."

"Oof?"

"At least you're fine now." Izuku smiled.

"But... will you be fine, Midoriya?" Todoroki addressed.

Both teens glanced over at Izuku, who looked down and weakly chuckled. "You guys don't have to worry... It's not the first time I've been through something bad... Hell, I don't even think this even compares to remembering my entire childhood in one moment... I'll be fine."

"But... A part of me just doesn't think you should be alone..." Iida said out of consideration.

"..." Ikari stared blankly at Iida. "Am I a joke to you!?"

Iida immediately realized what he said wrong. "Ah! No, I-Ikari! Midoriya will be fine having you around!"

Izuku's smile grew as he watched Iida frantically apologize to Ikari while the entity comedically crossed his arms and... pouted? Todoroki stared with the tiniest of smiles at them, finding Ikari somewhat amusing.

Izuku looked down happily.

"I have such great friends..."

Several minutes later, Izuku and Ikari waved goodbye to his friends from the window, leaving themselves alone.

Izuku closed his eyes and let out a sigh as he laid back on his bed, with Ikari just circling over him curiously.

"Hey partner, when am I gonna meet your other friends?"

Izuku's eyes shot open as he realized;

"Ah, I never did tell everyone about bringing you out like this when I texted them, did I?"

"Nope."

"Then... Surprise?" Izuku chuckled.

"Oo, that'd be fun." Ikari's face formed his scary, jagged open red grin. "So, what are we doing when we get out of here?"

"Well... We'll probably go back to training with Gran Torino. But we might be here for another day or two because of my... er... 'our' injuries.

"Oh, so we're doing things like in Russia now?"

"I... Hold on, what?" Izuku suddenly went from zero to completely bewildered as he turned to Ikari.

"You know, instead of things being 'yours' they'll be 'ours?'"

Izuku deadpanned.

"No, Ikari... Just... no."

A sudden knock came from the door.

"Huh?" Both Ikari and Izuku turned their heads, with Ikari's jagged smile fading away to make him mouthless once more. "U-Um... enter?"

The door then opened, and Izuku recognized the person who walked in. It was Naomasa Tsukauchi, the police detective, wearing his usual overcoat with his matching hat in his hand.

He smiled when he saw Izuku right there, only for his look to turn surprised when he saw Ikari too.

"U-Um... Y-Yo." Ikari waved nervously.

"It's so weird how he can act so similarly, yet SO different from me." Izuku sighed.

"Huh... So who's this?" Tsukauchi asked, not freaked out in the slightest.

"Well... My quirk." Izuku said with an awkward smile. "Th-This is... Well, his name is Ikari."

"Huh, well then." Tsukauchi smiled, closing the door behind him. "Well, Izuku Midoriya, I'm not sure you remember me, but I'm Naomasa Tsukauchi."

"I-I remember you... You were with All Might after the USJ Attack. You even know about All Might's time limit." Izuku uttered out with a small smile.

Tsukauchi chuckled as he walked over to Izuku's bedside.

"Yup, good to know you remembered. All Might sent me here to go over your encounter with Lynch and sort some things out." Tsukauchi said as he sat down.

Ikari narrowed his eyes, "Hold on... You know?"

Izuku's eyes widened, "Y-You know about Lynch!?"

The detective nodded, now looking serious. "Yes. I talked to All Might after I discovered that this 'Lynch' caused the Cafe Massacre."

Izuku's eyes widened as he started panting, remembering the news that day. "W-Wait... HE did that!?"

"Midoriya, please calm down, you've already been through enough. I don't think you should be stressing yourself any further."

It took a few moments, but Izuku took deep breaths to calm himself down.

"Th-that's right... It makes sense that he'd... do that... Th-That..." Izuku whimpered.

Ikari made some growling sounds as his eyes narrowed, thinking of Lynch.

Tsukauchi pulled the chair beside Izuku's bed and sat on it. "After the incident occurred, I investigated it and then visited All Might to inform him about it."

Izuku raised his head and turned it to the detective, still looking nervous.

"D-Do you... always tell All Might about your cases?"

Tsukauchi shook his head. "No, only when it's a case that might be important or far more dangerous than any other, like the League of Villains or in this case... this Lynch persona."

He leaned back in his chair.

"And he also shared with me any information he had on these groups, while also ready to assist me anyway he can play in the future. But back to the matter at hand, when I told All Might about the cafe, I mentioned the name the survivor told me. And... lo and behold, it was the guy that caught you..."

Izuku gulped nervously, "A-And then from there... He must've told you about him... Actually, how much did he tell you?"

Tsukauchi pulled out his notepad and a pen, getting ready to take notes.

"Well, he told me that he's dangerous, much more than dangerous... And he told me that you and Ureshi are... 'special' to him."

"Yeah... I... really hate that." Izuku muttered, looking down.

Tsukauchi nodded, "It's clear there's so much more involved with you guys, especially since Lynch targeted you specifically out of all the heroes on the scene."

Izuku flinched, "W-W-Well-"

"I'm not gonna pry or ask about your situation for All Might. It seems there are other things that he wants to keep secret, and I understand that. I only came upon his secret time limit by accident and know he keeps it a secret so no one panics. He's done so much for me, so I want to respect what he wishes, so I'll wait until you guys are ready to tell me anything. Heh, you guys might not even ever tell me and I'd be fine with it."

The injured boy stared at him curiously, "Did... Did he save someone you know?"

Tsukauchi nodded, "Yeah... my little sister."

Izuku's eyes widened. "Really?"

"Well, 'little' is a bit of a strong term." The detective chuckled. "She's an adult now, but doesn't change how I see her."

His expression then turned serious. "But I think we're getting off track. I won't ask why this 'Lynch' seems to have an interest in you two, but I just want to understand what happened to you and investigate from there to find him..."

Izuku and Ikari turned to each other, before turning back to Tsukauchi with nervous gazes.

"O-Okay..."

"I'm afraid I may need you to... recount that time. Will you be able to?" Tsukauchi said, having his notepad and pen ready.

"Y-Yeah... I'll be fine with that..." Izuku said, his face not really matching his words.

Ikari floated beside his partner and laid on Izuku's legs, his body actually morphing to resemble a small dog.

"You'll be fine."

Izuku's eyes widened.

"I-I knew you could change shape... but not like that." he pointed while shaking in awe.

"I could change to a lot. I practiced while in your head."

Tsukauchi said one last thing.

"Midoriya... I want to ask what happened to you while you were with Lynch and describe exactly where you were and what you saw around you. This information will, of course, be confidential between us and All Might. There's no doubt that any info of this villain shouldn't be leaked to the public... Are you willing to comply?"

Izuku nervously nodded, unconsciously hugging the dog-shaped Ikari.

"I-I woke up... in a dark room..."


~{Meanwhile-Best Jeanist's Agency}~

"Bastard!"

Bakugo blasted forward into a spiral towards Best Jeanist, only to get pulled to the side and flung at the wall. "Gah!"

He bounced off and fell onto the floor, where fiber threats retracted back to his opponent across the room.

"He hasn't said anything noteworthy since yesterday... All he's done is insult me, but I know I'm getting closer to making him talk. Just one more push..."

Best Jeanist adjusted his odd jean collar.

"Hmph, are you experiencing the same thing Midoriya felt whenever you beat him down? Weak?"

"You shut your fucking mouth!" Bakugo hissed as he rose off the ground with fiery red eyes.

He blasted forward at Best Jeanist again, and the hero used his threads to drag himself around the room using the poles sticking up.

"Who's the worthless one now? You, or Midoriya?"

Bakugo's pupil's shrunk as he spun around and blasted after Best Jeanist, "Don't compare me to that NERD!"

"Why him, though!? Why is he always the worthless one in your eyes!?" Best Jeanist shouted as his threads suddenly pulled and flung concrete debris that had been blasted from the ground due to Bakugo's explosions.

Bakugo maneuvered easily around the debris, making his way closer to Jeanist.

"THAT BASTARD WAS WEAK! HE WAS ALWAYS WEAK!"

Bakugo's legs had threads wrapped around him, then yanking him across the room, spinning.

"NNGH!" He used his explosions to move upright before continuing to blast down to the pro hero, who was intrigued that now he was getting something out of the boy.

"And that gave you the right to treat him terribly!?" Best Jeanist shouted as his threads yanked himself back to make space between him and Bakugo.

"He was fucking quirkless, and yet he wanted to be the next All Might! ALL MIGHT! He was nothing like me, he was the weakest out of everyone! And yet, he has the fucking nerve to have the same goal as me!"

Best Jeanist narrowed his eyes.

"Quirkless? Or so he thought... The boy must've manifested his quirk late, but before that, Bakugo found it revolting that such a person had the same goal as him... Aiming to be at the same level as him... To be on the equal footing as him..."

He flipped through the air and let his threads pull him up and around the room.

"But that still didn't give you the right to treat him in any criminal fashion, to discriminate him from everyone else!"

"HAH!? Are you fucking saying you would've just sucked up to him and told the quirkless nerd that he could become a hero!?"

"Of course not. I wouldn't encourage someone with no power in this society to become a hero, but I wouldn't actively torment that person because of it!" Best Jeanist retorted as he stopped himself in the air by using his threads to hold himself up like a web.

Bakugo flew at him, "Tsk! But he acted like he was fucking better than me! I DIDN'T NEED HELP ON THAT CREEK-!" His anger suddenly turned into shock as he realized what he was saying.

"Oh?" Best Jeanist's thread web came undone as he took advantage of Bakugo's lack of focus, all his strings wrapping around the boy's waist and keeping him in place in the air while he lowered himself back to the ground.

"Nngh! You..." Bakugo grunted as he felt the threads wrap tightly around him.

"Interesting... And that's where everything connects. Whatever happened at that 'creek' was what popped your reality that you were the best who would only be looked up to by everyone. And from what I heard at the festival, Ureshi said that your arrogance was brought up through a series of events, with manifesting your quirk no doubt being one of them."

Best Jeanist lowered his hands, but still having a tight grasp of his threads.

"What he said was that Midoriya supposedly tried to 'help' you..."

He closed his eyes.

"Hm... So by being helped by someone you considered to be weaker than you in every way... it insulted you."

Bakugo had his head down and gritting his teeth, remembering Enso say the same things.

"I don't... need THIS SPEECH AGAIN!"

The cocoon of strings wrapped around Bakugo suddenly exploded, making Best Jeanist's eyes widen as the boy came at him.

On instinct, he titled his body just as Bakugo's palm came at him, getting out of the way of another explosion while noticing the sides of the boy having burnt marks.

"He released explosions even when his hands were pressed against his own body... How frightening."

He narrowed his eyes before waving another hand, to which several more threads from his clothing suddenly wrapped around Bakugo before he could point his other palm at him. The threads pulled Bakugo back all the way to one of the poles of the room, slamming him and the back of his head against it.

"Ugh!" Bakugo hung his head when he felt the impact, twitching in pain while his body was heavily tied up. "Damn... it..."

"You really are powerful and resilient." Best Jeanist complimented as he walked closer. "You actually caught me off guard... for a moment."

Bakugo was panting, visibly shaking in anger.

"But... Midoriya isn't weak anymore, is he? You and I both know this from his performance at the festival. In fact, I'm sure that he must've proven to you a few times that he was strong while you've been with him in U.A. So I don't see why you still have so much hate for him, why do you keep this hate?"

Bakugo had his hands clenched into fists now.

"Fucking quirkless for his entire life... suddenly has a quirk, and then makes me look like trash in our first fight... Then he has the nerve to say that he didn't beat me... Looking down at me... Someone who should've been a quirkless nobody was fucking looking down at me..."

"..." Best Jeanist stared at Bakugo in silence as he listened to this, connecting everything together.

"So Bakugo was first insulted by the thought of Midoriya, someone he considered weak, to have the same goal as him... But then that image changed, and he viewed Midoriya as someone who had violated every one of his expectations. The tables turned on him to reverse their roles of who was looking down at who... Or so in 'his' mind, he believes."

He sighed, "Bakugo... Didn't you grow up with Midoriya? I'm sure you know him better than anyone else, do you truly believe he would look down at you?"

"Shut... up..." Bakugo grumbled, his arms shaking as he tried to move them.

Best Jeanist paused for a moment before releasing the boy and retracting all of his threads, letting Bakugo plop onto the ground.

"You always look at everything through your eyes, don't you? But if you know Midoriya, shouldn't you be able to clearly picture how he sees everything?"

Bakugo had his hands and knees on the ground, pushing himself up as he raised his head and glared ahead at Best Jeanist.

"That nerd thinks he can beat me... He thinks he could just stand on the same level as me, thinks he could surpass me... But I'm going to show him..."

He slowly rose to his feet, eyes blazing in red.

"I'll show everyone."

Best Jeanist stared curiously in Bakugo's direction while tapping the side of his head as he pondered.

"In a way... That might be true. But believing you can surpass someone isn't a bad thing. Bakugo just sees Midoriya as a threat, as someone against his pride rather than just healthy competition..."

"Well... If you really wish to be better than him-" Best Jeanist got into another fighting stance with his hands up. "-then you should understand that this attitude of yours won't help you."

Bakugo just exploded forward.

"SHI-NE!"

"Okay, seems that we've still got a lot to work on." Best Jeanist thought as he pulled his strings.


~{Kamui Woods Agency-12:35PM}~

Enso didn't know where Kamui Woods would be, nor did he have his contact information. So feeling nowhere else to go, he went to where he recalled Kamui's agency to be. Sure enough, when he arrived at the agency building (tempted to go to the roof again), he caught sight of the wooden hero in the front of it with Mineta and Mount Lady with him.

Enso stopped on the edge of a small building he was on, noticing that Jiro and Death Arms weren't present, and there was a stressed-out look in Kamui's eyes.

"I guess he must be mad at me... If I don't want him reporting me, then it may be best not to make him even more irritated..." Deciding this, Enso hopped down the fire escape of the building he was on to end up in a decently bright alleyway.

Before walking forward, he paused as he realized that there was some blood on his right hand, making him narrow his eyes.

He sighed, reaching into his left pocket and pulling out a handkerchief, then wiping the blood off his hands before stuffing the item back into his pocket.

"And here I thought I got all of it off..."

He quickly checked himself for any more out of place substances on him, pulling off the bandages on his head and dusting himself off. Then he made it out of the alleyway and towards Kamui.

Soon, he got close enough to where Mount Lady noticed Enso walking and pointed to him, to which Kamui turned around and immediately blasted towards him.

"Oh boy..." Enso sighed.

"ENSO!" The wooden hero jumped with his hand up in a karate-chopping position, intending to strike him on the head.

"..."

Enso just stepped aside as Kamui came down, causing the hero to miss and even stumble a big forward.

"Whoa-Ah! Phew..." Regaining his balance, Kamui turned to Enso with cross-veins appearing on his wooden head. "Why'd you dodge!?"

"Because... I didn't want to get hit?" Enso tilted his head, actually confused.

"You little-! Do you even realize how much trouble you should be in!? Not only did you leave in the middle of your internships, but you even used your quirk without authorization!"

"Using... my quirk without authorization..." Enso repeated.

"You're lucky I didn't report it to anyone and managed to convince Death Arms and Mount Lady not to say anything!" Kamui fumed.

"My friend was in trouble, so I left to save him." Enso explained.

That just seemed to make Kamui even more infuriated.

"Are you an idiot!? You know how many laws you're breaking to go out for that reason!? You'd better hope not too many people saw you and reported it, or I might not even be able to help you!"

"..."

Enso couldn't help but feel... conflicted.

"But... isn't going to save someone what a hero's meant to do?"

Kamui's anger instantly ceased when he saw the look in Enso's eyes. There was genuine confusion in them, as if he knew he didn't do anything wrong, and yet he was getting punished for it.

"All these laws, these punishments for going out to save someone... They don't make sense. If someone with a true heroic spirit has the power to save someone in trouble, someone that could be dying right in front of them, then isn't the most reasonable assumption for that person to save the one in need? If they choose not to save them, wouldn't that count as a bystander like in a case of bullying? And wouldn't the people with the most potential with a heroic spirit be the one that wouldn't hesitate to run in and save someone? Why punish that person and take away their chance to become a future hero if that's the kind of person that'd be the best kind of hero? One who doesn't hesitate and runs in to save anyone?"

Enso looked down, narrowing his eyes as he also remembered just what he had heard earlier by a villain of all people.

"True heroes wouldn't hesitate to save anyone, but 'fakes' would. A moment of hesitation is all that's need for a disaster to occur."

Then he remembered what Kamui told him in their first patrol, "No... You could give that reason for selfish heroes who desire fame and fortune, but for heroes that genuinely care about the well-being of the public, we use these patrols to raise their spirits."

More of Kamui's words filled in. "But at the end of the day, we're always here for the people, even if there are those among the public that don't think highly of us... We want the people to feel safe because we care for them, we want our society to remain stable and calm so the people can live peacefully. If we told people that there would be times we can't save them, if we told them that there may be villains living right near their homes, if we told them that there are heroes that don't care about them... then there would be fear, panic, and especially doubt among everyone."

Enso raised his head as he continued speaking to a silent Kamui.

"And... While individuals who have the heroic spirit for the people are punished for taking action at times heroes can't, the 'heroes' that only think of fame and wealth are perfectly fine? The kind that doesn't particularly care for people and wouldn't have the spirit to give the effort to save everyone? Wouldn't those people be the ones that you told me before? In which they're the heroes that aren't for the people? So why are they still heroes?"

Kamui stared in silence as he listened in on Enso's questioning. What he saw was something he didn't like to see. Someone who didn't have a clue on how the world works, and would therefore just end up acting on only what he felt was right. Enso wasn't entirely wrong with the things the thought, but... he wasn't exactly correct either.

Kamui sighed, reaching over and gently patting Enso on his shoulder.

"I don't know what the hell happened to you while you were gone... But it seems like you've really started to take the hero world more seriously. You've clearly never given it too much thought before coming to U.A, have you?"

"..." Enso looked down, "I didn't even give much thought even while in U.A..."

"Yeah... I thought so." Kamui chuckled. "It might take time for you to understand, but I'll explain the overall idea."

He put his hands on his hips.

"We punish people for the sake of keeping society in order."

"What?" Enso narrowed his eyes.

"Enso... You're right in that people with the heroic spirit and abilities would be the best heroes, but we can't just let anyone try to throw themselves in harm's way, even if they can help. It's the same reasoning as why police officers don't want citizens to involve themselves in dangerous situations, even if they could use the extra manpower."

He raised his arm and held up a finger.

"We're all supposed to be protecting the people, that's what heroes and the police are supposed to do, not involve the innocent where they could get hurt, or worse, killed."

"But I still don't see why the public has to be punished for actually managing to help with their quirks." Enso said.

"It's because if we don't punish them, then others will think it'll be okay if they used their quirks." Kamui sternly said. "Enso, just because people have the ability to help doesn't mean they should. Think about it. If someone, with no training to save people, took a situation into his or her own hands, then what do you think would happen?"

Enso frowned.

Kamui continued, "And even if there aren't heroes around, even if a person could possibly go help another in trouble... What if they both end up killed? There's... There's just too much danger in it. So we have these quirk laws and regulations to make sure people don't use their quirks to jump into any situation. People have gotten hurt before, and no doubt more people would get hurt if the inexperienced tried to help..."

Enso looked down and thought about the police chief, Tsuragamae's words. "Even if someone has the ability to do something, if they use their quirks and rush into situations themselves without enough responsibility or training, then there is a large chance more damage could be done than stopped."

"Your friend... Midoriya." Kamui started again, making Enso raised his head to hear Izuku's name. "I'm not sure you know this, but he didn't have his quirk a year ago. I know this because I saw him run in to save Bakugo from a villain."

"That's right..." Enso recalled.

"He was smart, even blinding the villain with his own backpack. But... when it came to what mattered, he couldn't' even dig Bakugo out of the sludge villain he was stuck in. If it wasn't for All Might coming in on time to save the two, then... there was the chance both of them would've died, with Midoriya's sacrifice just being in vain."

"..."

"With or without a quirk, the point is, we're keeping people from involving themselves in situations. And not just that, but we're keeping people from creating situations with their quirks with the laws too. If people use their quirks for selfish reasons, then more trouble than ever will occur."

Enso thought about Stain's actions to kill 'fake' heroes for the sake of society. And he thought about Kamui saying that people are punished and now allowed to use quirks to keep everything in order, once again for the sake of the society they live in.

And indeed, he did remember Izuku running into the scene of his former bully without any power, nearly getting himself killed.

"Hm..." He 'believed' that he understood a bit.

"Soooooo, you guys done?"

Enso and Kamui turned to see Mount Lady there, bringing a mouthful of chips to her mouth as Mineta approached Enso with panic in his eyes.

"E-Enso! You left because of that message we got by Midoriya in Hosu City, right!? Wasn't that where the Hero Killer was!"

Hearing that, Kamui raised an eyebrow and glanced at Enso once more, learning just where and why he left.

Enso looked down at Mineta, ignoring Kamui's look. "Yes… That was the reason. But everything worked out."

"E-Endeavor came, right!?" Mineta asked.

"Yeah... he did."

Kamui picked up something from Enso's voice. It wasn't just cold and bland like it usually was, there was a hint of... Doubt? Sadness? He couldn't tell for sure, but it was clear that there was more to what he was saying.

"Are Death Arms and Jiro coming?" Enso asked, snapping Kamui out of his thoughts.

"Nope, they got some hostage situation to take care of." Mount Lady answered uncaringly as she took in another mouthful of chips.

"I see... So why are you all out here?" Enso asked.

"Waiting for you." Kamui answered with his hands on his hips. "I figured the only place you'd know to go to would be back to my agency."

"...And now that I'm here?"

"Lunch." Kamui answered.

"Oh." Enso forgot that he hadn't even eaten anything since yesterday.

"Then afterword, we'll go on a patrol together." Kamui told him.

Enso stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"So... did you already have a place in mind?"

"Kamui and I want to eat curry, but Mount Lady wants to stuff herself at a barbecue!" Mineta cried out.

Hearing him say that, cross-veins formed on Mount Lady head as she kicked Mineta off his feet. "You shouldn't say something like that to a lady!" she yelled with an irritated tone.

Enso glanced around him, noticing something.

"But… Isn't there a curry house and a barbecue house right over there?"

"Yeah, it's where we usually go." Kamui answered.

"I see... So we're splitting up then? I can buy my own meal." Enso asked.

"You're not gonna leave somewhere again, are you?" Kamui sighed.

"If I was, I'd let you know first and then leave." Enso blatantly responded.

"This kid... Why does it seem like he never takes me seriously?" Kamui facepalmed.

"Kamui! Lend me some money, please~" Mount Lady said in a... suddenly sickly sweet voice.

Kamui just seemed to get instantly pissed off.

"As if, you glutenous woman! You always ask me to 'lend' you money, yet you never pay me back! All you ever wanna spend money on is food!"

"Are you calling me fat!?" Mount Lady's sweet tone just vanished as she yelled and comedically started to bash Kamui.

"Would you stop always resorting to violence!?" The wooden hero shouted as he backed up.

"..." Enso stared at them fighting for a few seconds before rolling his eyes and turning around. "I'm going to the barbecue house..."

Mineta just stared at Mount Lady's behind while some drool went down his mouth. "You... You do that. I'll just be... watching the two."

Enso walked away with a roll of his eyes, heading to the intended restaurant to get his first meal of the day.

A part of his mind lingered back to Kamui's conversation as he made his way inside the place. Punishments in saving others, the risk of the inexperienced acting out, the need for the laws to keep society in order... And then there was Stain, who acted outside of the law to get rid of those he viewed as a hindrance to society... Would Stain's be against people being punished for using their quirks, or would he actually be for it, so only the genuine heroic people are the ones to act out from the rest of the group?

Enso stood in a small line of people as he looked up at the menu, the back of his thoughts still exploring the wonders he had.

There was Stain, and then... there was Shigaraki, the one he had encountered at USJ. What were his goals? What were the league's goals? He recalled what Stain remarked about both the league and the man-child;

"Those bastards didn't understand... They don't have a true goal, nor the conviction for it. They just use their power because they have it, to kill things they don't like... But that Shigaraki at least has the idea that he wants to change the current society we have, I'm just hoping he won't end up being like any other pathetic thug..."

"Hm..." Enso closed his eyes. "It seems... maybe Shigaraki doesn't even have a goal..."

"Damn that Kamui..."

Enso's eyes opened as he heard those words come from behind, realizing that someone had entered in the span he was in his thoughts.

"This is barely enough for a side course… Cheapskate…" Mount Lady grumbled as she pulled up beside Enso.

Enso, deciding he didn't want much to do with her, gazed forward at the menu and pretended he was deep in his own thoughts. But then he thought about the small amount of money the woman beside him had in her hands, making Enso wonder;

"How much money did I bring?"

He looked down and reached into his pocket to pull out a black wallet he had bought while in Izuku's world. He opened it and peeked in to see a rather large amount of money in it.

"Hm... I forgot to empty out my wallet the last time I went gambling... It's been a while."

However, with Mount Lady right beside him, the hero instantly noticed the large amount of yellow and purple in Enso's wallet. Her eyes widened as stars replaced both her pupils in a look of awe. She then lightly dusted herself to look more appealing. She sniffed herself, checked her hair, and then grinned confidently as she wrapped an arm around her waist.

Ready, she cleared her throat and coughed to get Enso's attention.

"Hm?" The male turned to her with an eyebrow raised.

"Hey…" Mount Lady moved her arm up along her stomach until it pressed right underneath her breasts, making them bounce. Along with this, her other arm moved her finger to her lips to make herself look more seductive.

"I don't really have a lot of money on me… do you think you could lend some to me~?" She asked in a cuter tone.

Enso stared at her with a deadpanned look, then simply turning away with one word;

"Begone."

Comedic lightning struck behind Mount Lady as she turned black and white, her jaw hanging in shock.

For Enso to be the first guy that just shot her down without a second thought, no sign of even a blush nor any stuttering, and... having that disappointing look on him.

Damn, that hurts.

"HUH!?" She suddenly dropped the act entirely as she grabbed Enso by the shoulders and pulled him to face her, shaking him back and forth as her eyes tried to burn through his head by how pissed she was.

"What the hell do you mean, 'begone!?' Who the hell says that when a cute girl is trying to get your attention!?"

Enso felt annoyed and grabbed her by the wrists, stopping her from shaking him.

"Well, I do, apparently."

Several cross-veins of irritation emerged on Mount Lady's head.

"You little-!"

"I'm taller than you."

"NOT WHAT I MEANT!"

"So loud..." Enso sighed.

"How the hell can you act like this to a girl!? What, you don't think I'm cute!? I'm only fucking 23! People would love to have looks like mine!"

Enso rolled his eyes, "You think I'd have interest in someone such as you? In a logical sense, I'm sure you'd look attractive to most people, but your personality is something that needs to be attended to. Every time I've seen you, you've been eating, complaining, or begging. It's quite... annoying."

Hearing that, Mount Lady's face started fueling red from the burning embarrassment and irritation she was experiencing.

"Huh!? You wanna say that again, you little shit!? I'll deck you right now!"

Enso scoffed, "You think you could just knock me down?"

"You bet your ass I can! I wrestled in high school!"

"With what, your conscience?"

Steam erupted from Mount Lady like a volcano as flames burst in her eyes, giving off a comedic but dangerous pressure.

"Hm... Perhaps I went too far..." Enso sweatdropped.

Mount Lady looked like she wanted to strangle him, visibly shaking in fury with her arms up and fingers stuck out threateningly.

Enso sighed, knowing he had to defuse the situation. "Look... I'll buy you whatever you want, alright? Just don't cause a ruckus in here... I'd rather avoid causing any more trouble for Kamui..." He said as he noticed the stares of some people.

"Really!?" Mount Lady's aura and eyes suddenly changed to sparkles, her face also losing all of its red in an instant, leaving no trace of any previous anger.

"She changes this fast over food!?" Enso's eye twitched.

"U-Um... Excuse me."

The two turned and realized that they were next in line, with the cashier staring rather nervously at them after seeing the tension between them.

"Whoops." Enso stopped forward with Mount Lady eyeing the menu in glee.

Enso order kabobs, grill beef, and a few other small items to try out, while Mount Lady... went all over the place on the menu, much to Enso's annoyance. Of course, he could afford everything she was ordering, but it irritated him how carefree the woman was with someone else's money.

"And yet she's a hero..." He couldn't help but sigh.

They were both now sitting at opposite ends of a table with their food in front of them. Mount Lady was stuffing her face while Enso paced himself as he ate to make sure he got every flavor from his meal. Occasionally, he glanced outside the window bored and cold glance, thinking about the earlier events that had come out of Hosu City.

After the rather long silence, Mount Lady peaked at Enso, watching the stone-faced gaze the boy always had. She couldn't help but frown at his mood and decided to ask him what gives.

"Mmph, *gulp!* Oi, Ureshi." She called after swallowing.

Enso turned his gaze to her with his uninterested look.

"I prefer Enso."

"First name? You tell that to everyone?" Mount Lady raised an eyebrow.

"I do." Enso nodded, poking at his food with his fork. "So why did you call me?"

Getting back to her previous thought, she asked, "Why do you act so dark and emo all the time? People won't like you if you keep acting like that, you know? Especially with how scary and suspicious you look with that long hair and red eyes. At least try to show off some charm."

"..."

He looked down at his food, "Hmph, 'show off?' Like how you flaunt your body around, seducing men for attention and manipulation?"

Mount Lady slammed her fist on the table, "Hey! I'm not seducing anyone! I simply provide some fanservice to calm the people, not that a kid would understand..."

"First of all, I'm not a 'kid,' I believe I'm older than I look."

Mount Lady stared at him with a new look of confusion at how he worded that, "Say what now?"

Enso just continued, "Secondly, are you really using your 'charms' to calm down the public? Or are you just using them for your own growth of fame?" His eyes narrowed at her.

Mount Lady... could feel Enso looking down at her.

And that made her feel pissed off... again.

"Don't make me sound like some sort of attention whore! I actually do care about the people, okay!? And if you actually cared about them too, then would've you at least try to present yourself to be more approachable!?"

Enso slightly rose his head in a silent gaze, his eyes... getting more intense? Mount Lady flinched and dropped her fork, the clanking echoing in the restaurant. She expected him to say something chilling, or maybe even do something, and she just found herself staring at him, waiting for him to act.

But the boy closed his eyes and took a deep breath, raising his right hand to manifest a black dagger in it. He then used his other hand to pull some of his hair down, raising his blade to its middle.

Mount Lady was shocked to see Enso cut his hair without a care in the world.

"Hey! Don't cut it here! It might get in... our... food?" Mount Lady's shouting died down as her eyes widened by what she saw next.

The hair that Enso cut off immediately started disintegrating in blue flames, every single strand of hair gone in an instant without even any ash left behind. And from where he cut his hair, more of it started growing to replace the part he just lost. In the next few seconds, you couldn't even tell he had even cut it in the first place.

"Whoa..." That was all Mount Lady muttered.

Enso's dagger then vanished into thin air, the cold boy having an unamused look as he made his point.

"I can't cut my hair, I can't change my eyes, and I can't change how I act. I didn't ask to be like this, alright? I can't just... 'change' how I am. I didn't choose to be as 'dark' or 'emo' as you call it. And it doesn't matter either way, as I don't care for the public's attention or plan to appeal to them. For me... there's no point."

Mount Lady blinked in confusion as she listened to him, only to frown once more. "Sounds like a load of crap to me. Anyone can change, whether appearance or how they act."

"If that's what you believe, then so be it. Just stop bugging me..." He turned his gaze outside to the city streets, trying to get back into his thoughts.

Mount Lady blinked a few more times before pouting.

"The hell? What, so you're saying you don't feel anything, like a robot?"

"Of course not, everyone feels some form of emotion unless... programmed not to. I just... don't really connect to what people would say are the 'good' ones."

"And that's why you aren't reacting to any of this?" As Mount Lady said that, she raised both of her arms over her head, her breast's bouncing as she posed herself to look sexy.

"...No, emotion has nothing to with that. I just don't find you interesting."

Once again, comedic lightning struck as cross-veins emerged on Mount Lady's head, her teeth now into a strained and irritated smile.

"Did... Did you NOT just say that I look attractive?"

Enso sighed as he spun his fork in his hand.

"Correction, I said that in a logical sense, you'd look attractive to most people."

"The hell do you mean by that!?" Mount Lady slammed her fist in frustration.

"I mean exactly by what I said. Looking at you, sorting out your features, and acknowledging what appears to be 'attractive' in general to people from my own experience, I just came to the conclusion that you'd be viewed that way."

He gazed at her body, still keeping his blank gaze as he put his fork down.

"Smooth skin, long smooth glistening blonde hair, a voluptuous body but still curvy figure, a strong woman who at least thinks for others... to a degree. Overall, I believe you'd be considered attractive by most people. The only kinds of people that would disagree would be those with different tastes in women in matters such as your personality."

Mount Lady's face actually turned completely red with her jaw hanging once more, completely caught off guard by how blunt and... 'detailed' Enso was about her.

"H-How could you say all of that, with a straight face!?"

Enso rolled his eyes, "Because why would I lose composure saying things like that? I don't see why people would get excessively flustered or embarrassed to notice or point out those things... You can appreciate beauty, the human body, or the traits that make up a person, but there's always a big deal when someone expresses interest... Mostly because it's clear that people only express these points when trying to attract the opposite gender."

"A-Are you secretly a pervert?"

"Hell no. Did you not just hear me?" Cross-veins popped on Enso's head.

At this point, several more questions rang through Mount Lady's head. She wondered Enso was really the one guy that actually didn't get flustered or even care about her body, wondering if he was just putting on a tough guy act. Even Kamui would get flustered at times, and he basically knew her the most along with Death Arms.

"Hm..." She frowned before letting her curiosity get the best of her, making her stand up.

Enso raised an eyebrow as he watched Mount Lady seem to forget about her food and walked herself to the spot beside Enso, placing herself down on it with a serious expression.

"What is it?" Enso asked her to clarify.

As a response, Mount Lady scooted close to him and wrapped her arms around Enso's arm, pressing her breasts against it and making sure he could feel how soft they were.

Enso now had a deadpanned gaze.

"What are you doing?"

Mount Lady saw that Enso didn't have much of any reaction to her, suddenly making her serious expression turn into a smile as she chuckled.

"Well, what do you know? You really don't care, do you? Most guys would kill to get a feel of these, you know?"

Enso just glared at her as he felt the woman's suppleness, feeling more annoyed than ever.

"Do you not have any shame whatsoever to press your body like that?" Enso asked her.

"Oh come on, I'm used to people looking at me in those kinds of ways, especially those who take pictures." Mount Lady said as she continued to press herself against him.

"Looking and touching are two different things. You realize how inappropriate this is, don't you? I'm a U.A student, you're an adult working as a pro hero, yet here you are performing such an unprofessional and explicit action." Enso pointed out to her.

"Hey, you're the one that told me you're older than you look, right?" Mount Lady smirked.

"What does that...? *sigh* You know what, nevermind... Could you just let go of me? What kind of thought process did you even have that ended in you choosing you holding me?"

"It was a test to really see if you don't care about all those things in women. And now, I think we could be friends, kid."

Enso's eye twitched. "...Friends?"

"Sure. The only male friends I got are Kamui and Death Arms because I know they won't try to get a piece of me. But at the same time, they're both such... 'hardasses.' they never know how to have fun!" The woman complained.

"And... what the hell is going through your mind to assume that I, of all people, would be 'fun.'" Enso's eye twitched more.

Mount Lady paused for a moment, looking up as she thought about it.

"I mean... You're not one for rules, are you? You did leave your internship when you weren't supposed to. You seem like you aren't gonna try to 'get' with me, and you're also pretty loaded, so we can get out and buy some fun things. If only you'd stop acting so... edgy."

Enso facepalmed with his free hand, letting out a deep sigh.

"You've basically admitted to wanting to use me..."

"Whoa, 'use' is a pretty harsh word!"

"It still fits... *sigh* Look, Kamui and Mineta should be waiting for us by now... We should probably be leaving." Enso said, hoping to just get out of this stupid situation.

Mount Lady pouted, "Oh come on, it's not like-" She suddenly froze, her body tensing up as her eyes widened.

Hearing her cut herself off, Enso removed his hand from his face and turned to her as he felt the pro finally let go of his arm. "What is it?"

He didn't get an answer, as the pro hero was unable to get any words out while her face became completely red, looking past him.

Enso just turned his head to see where she was gazing at, only to frown to see both Kamui and Mineta with wide-eyed expressions just outside the window, the short student comedically crying blood from pure jealousy.

"Oh for the love of god..."


~{A Few Minutes Later}~

The group of four were now on the patrol they said they'd do after they ate. The two pro heroes led the front of the path while the students followed at a distance. Mineta's eyes stared intensely at Enso as they both walked side by side, with Enso attempting to ignore him as he walked with his hands shoved into his pockets.

Kamui awkwardly turned to Mount Lady, who was currently looking down with steam coming up from her head from the embarrassment of being seen holding a student, even if it was just to test him.

"Er... Hey-"

"If you say anything, I'll turn you into wood chips…" Mount Lady cut him off with an empty voice.

This made Kamui slightly flinch. "Wow…"

Despite the threat he received, Kamui knew that he could still say a few more things. "Look, you don't have to be so embarrassed, no one is judging you." He tried reassuring her.

Mount Lady slowly turned her head to Kamui, giving him one of the scariest death glares he's ever seen, making him shiver all the way in his spine.

"S-Scary…"

Kamui tried to maintain his professional stance. "L-Look, It's okay to be in a relationship with someone who may be a... 'little' younger than you. But maybe refrain from doing things like that out in public? You don't want the media to find out that your dating a student in U.A, do you?"

Hearing this, Mount Lady instantly flared up in giant flaming aura as her palm wrapped around Kamui's head and rose his off the ground with an iron grip.

"I'm NOT going out with him! If you even think for a MOMENT that I am, I'll use you to fuel a fireplace!" She shouted with flaming eyes.

"OWOWOWOWOW! Okay! ALRIGHT! I-I was wrong to assume! You're crushing me! YOU'RE CRUSHING ME!" Kamui shouted as he struggled to get his head out of her grip.

"What the hell are they doing?" Enso sweatdropped as he watched the immature actions between both adults, halting his walking.

Seeing the chance, Mineta jumped up and down beside Enso while still comedically crying.

"It's not fair! You got to feel a hot hero's boobs right up against your arm! And she did it on purpose at that! When the hell did you do to get a hot babe like Mount Lady!?"

"The way people are so fast to make assumptions annoys me..." Enso sighed, then turning his head to glance down at the short student. "I didn't 'get' anyone, Mineta. I'm not even trying to be in any pointless relationship..."

"THAT'S EVEN MORE UNFAIR! Why is the one guy that doesn't want a girlfriend the one that gets one!?"

"Did you not just hear me, you idiot?" Enso facepalmed. "Actually... You know what? Rather than try to explain, I'll just say this; Stop talking, or I'll make sure that, compared to Iida, your body is going to turn inside out." He said, menacingly raising a fist with a blue aura around him.

Recalling what did happen to the engine user, Mineta covered his precious area in pure horror, backing up 6ft away from Enso.

"Finally..." The moody male sighed.

He turned forward and watched as Kamui was now on the ground, clutching his head in pain, while Mount Lady stood above him with her hands on her hips looking angrier than ever.

She turned her head, and the two made eye contact, to which Mount Lady immediately looked away as her cheeks flushed a bit.

"Me? And that stupid brat? Fat chance..." She growled as she started marching forward.

Enso simply sighed as he saw her actions, walking forward too.

"Women are troublesome…"


~{Author's Pre-notes}~

Yes, this going exactly where you think it's going. I don't regret it because it's fun to write.
