Chapter 29
The Blazing J-HOL
A couple of weeks ago, my high school, the famous UA High, announced some of my classmates and other fellow first-year students from other two hero classes to be part of the team for J-HOL. In this bi-annual event, hero schools worldwide compete in a series of sports games. First, we arrived in Athens, Greece, and explored some famous sightseeing spots, minus the part of a bit of encounter we had with an attacking villain. Now, we are at a reception party where we meet some of the other teams' members. However, things looked grim when one of ours was about to fight against another one from a different team! Until he showed up…
"I will murder you!" Bakugo shouted.
"You want some of this, little punk?!" Another voice yelled.
"Ka-chan?!" Midoriya jumped when his old childhood friend yelled and had a bad feeling about it.
"It's coming from there," Yuki stated as he looked. "Let's check it out."
The members of Team Japan headed to the commotion to see that Bakugo was standing off, looking angry toward a big, muscular man with gray skin and horns.
"Ka-chan!" Midoirya gasped.
"Hey, what's going on, Kirishima?" Kai asked the red-haired boy.
"We got trouble, guys! Bakugo is fighting off that big guy there!" Kirishima explained.
"What?" Kai gasped.
Other members of Team Japan and other people and guests noticed and came to see the commotion.
"Oh no! It's Bakugo from Class 1-A! He's going to fight that guy, Tank Strauss!" Kendo exclaimed.
"Well, well. I think I may see something interesting tonight," Monoma snickered.
"Monoma!" Kendo scowled.
"Woah! This is going to be a big fight," Eli exclaimed, looking a bit excited.
"Why are you so excited?! This is very bad!" Mineta stated.
"Bakugo-san!" Yaoyorozu gasped.
"Great… I had a feeling something like this would happen," Jiro sighed.
"What should we do, Tsuyu-chan?" Ochaco asked.
"We should get Aizawa or any teachers! They should be able to stop Bakugo-chan and that big rhino guy." Asui stated.
"Bakugo-kun!" Ida shouted. "Stop this immediately!"
"Time for you to die!" Bakugo jumped with his palm ready as it sparkled with energy.
"Rrraawh!" Tank Strauss roared as his horn aimed towards Bakugo.
Everybody, especially Class 1-A from UA thought that this incident would not end well or so they thought.
Suddenly, something jumped in between them. Whatever it did, it stopped Bakugo and Tank Strauss, pushing them away from each other.
"What the?!" Both Bakugo and Tank Strauss gasped.
"Who just jumped in?" Kai asked.
"Sorry to be a bit late, but then again, the best hero always comes at the right time!" said a voice.
The mysterious person who jumped into the middle of the fight was a young, tall boy with short black hair, blue eyes, light skin, and a fit body.
"Wait… that boy," Midoriya mumbled to himself as he remembered the mysterious boy from yesterday.
"Who the hell are you?!" Bakugo shouted at the boy.
The boy smirked as he pointed to himself with his thumb. "The name's Ben Glory, the next Symbol of Peace and one to be the greatest hero in the world!"
The young lad wears a black suit with tie and red flower puck inside his right pocket on the jacket, pants, and pair of black shoes. His eye color is gray silver, and his hair is short and black, with one bang spiked up on the front.
"Ben Glory!?" Arisa gasped.
"Ben Glory?" Felicia repeated.
"Ben Glory," Midoriya mumbled to himself.
Ben smiled as he eyed Tank Strauss and then Bakugo.
"Hey, who do you think you are?! Butting in like that! Do you want to die, too?!" Bakugo roared.
Ben wagged his finger. "Tch, tch! It seems like we have a hothead among us. Why not relax and cool off a bit?"
"What did you say?!" Bakugo argued.
"Just another pest getting in my way! I will crush you both!" Tank Straus got up and looked ready to ram them.
"Enough, Strauss!" Tank Strauss stopped and turned around his shoulder to see a young man approaching him.
The man stands taller than any of the UA students. His skin is dark with partial facial hair, brown eyes, and, interestingly, two cat-like ears. His hair is short and black, and even under his suit outfit, his body shows that he is in top shape.
"You caused enough trouble. You must stay down for the rest of the night, or I will not let you stay on the team if you behave like this," he warned.
Tank growled but complied. "Fine. My apologies."
He and the mysterious man left the scene as they walked past the other people. Since the commotion was stopped, everyone went away to their own business, leaving an only handful of other people, like the UA members and couples who aren't from UA.
"Yo, Bakugo!" Kirishima walked up to Bakugo, offering him his hand. "Are you alright?"
"Out of my way!" Bakugo got up on his own and stomped over to Ben. "Who the hell do you think you are?"
"Huh? Didn't you hear my great introduction? My name is Ben Glory!" Ben boasted. "The next heir to the Symbol of Peace!"
"I don't give a crap about your name! You interrupted me in a fight, and for that, I will make you dead!" Bakugo angrily yelled.
"Sorry, but I don't talk with a hothead. Why don't you just go and cool off? You are too much of a hothead to be around with a cool guy, like me," Ben said.
That made Bakugo very angry. "Why, you little!" Before he did anything, Kirishima pulled Bakugo away. Todoroki also helped.
"Come on, Bakugo! Let's get away from here!" So Bakugo and Todoroki dragged Bakugo while he shouted and screamed as people watched him with a sweat-drop.
"Let me go! Let me go, you two! Grrr!" Bakugo yelled as his classmates were dragging him while other people watched them go by, sweat dropping at the blond-haired boy's angry screaming.
"Kacchan…" sighed Midoriya softly.
"Hmm?" Ben Glory's eyes caught the sight of the UA members, including a familiar girl with dirty-blond hair with a braid. He grinned as he walked up to them.
"Well, well, well! What a surprise to see you, Arisa, my gal! How have you been doing? Lovely evening isn't it?" said Ben charmingly.
"It's, um, been long time no see, Ben," Arisa nervously greeted, looking not too pleased to see him. "How are you doing?"
"I am terrific, Arisa! By the way, check this out." Ben showed off his Smartphone in front of Arisa's face as her friends, Felica, Midoriya, Yuki, and Kai, looked at it, too. "See this? I saved some people and stopped a villain yesterday! I came at the right time. It was not a problem for me, but I ended it gloriously."
"Um, that's quite, um, impressive," Arisa said. Though she knew that Kai, Midoriya, and others helped, too, but Ben didn't know that.
"Anyway, I wanted to know. Who are these people with you, Arisa?" Ben asked.
"Oh! Right!" She realized. "These are my friends from UA High. The first is Felicia. She is an exchange student from the same program, like me."
"Greeting, Ben. My name is Felicia Marvell. I am originally from London Hero Academy," Felicia introduced.
"Hello, Gorgeous Felica. Let's hang out tonight, OK?" Ben winked, which Felicia shuddered a bit in response to his word.
"Then, this is Izuku Midoriya," Arisa said next.
"Ah! Hello, my name is Izuku, Izuku Midoriya!" Izuku offered a handshake, though shaking a bit. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ben Glory."
"Oh! So you are the one!" Ben jumped in front of Izuku's face, surprising him. "You are the one who made it first in that obstacle race at your school's sports festival, right?"
"Um, yes! That's right," Izuku answered as he stepped back a bit.
"Although." Ben stepped back a bit, rubbing his chin, and then sighed. "Now that I am looking at you in person, you don't look much of a hero material."
"Huh?" Midoriya looked a bit surprised and confused.
"As I mean, how a plain-looking person like you was able to get into UA High?" quired Ben straightforwardly. "You don't look particularly cool, strong, or anything special."
"Umm, well…" Midoriya felt rushed that he was too confused to say anything to Ben. However, Arisa and others felt offended by Ben's rude comment about Midoriya.
Arisa was about to retort until Yuki jumped in.
"Midoriya here works as hard as anyone from our school. If you are going to judge people's strength by their look, then you will be underestimated," Yuki stated.
"Drago-kun," Midoriya thought aloud.
"Hoh?" Ben smirked as he looked at Yuki. "So you sound strong and look cool. You also look familiar. What is your name?"
"The name's Yuki Drago," Yuki answered.
"Now I remember!" Ben gasped as he remembered. "You are that dragon boy in the second half of the festival, and you fought against…. This guy here!"
Ben pointed and looked at Kai, which he calmly stared at with no reaction at him.
"His name is Kai Uno, Ben," said Arisa strictly.
"Hey, there you are!" They all turned to a voice calling to them. Arisa smiled when two familiar people approached them. They were Sadie Foster and Gabriel Martin.
"Sadie! Gabriel! You two are here!" Arisa looked happier to see her friends while Ben looked indifferent.
"Of course, Arisa. Why wouldn't we be?" Gabriel joked as he grinned.
"Ben, if you are here, then you should report to the teacher and Captain Betty," Sadie insisted.
"Tch, you don't need to tell me what to do, Foster!" Ben countered. "Besides, I have more important stuff to do."
"And what would that be?" Sadie asked in a sarcastic tone.
Ben smirked. "Why, to meet some chicks from other teams, sign autographs to my fans, and enjoy myself, of course! Just tell the Cap and Mr. Brown that I just arrived, and all. They'll understand. See you noobs later."
Ben Glory just walked away as the rest just watched him go by.
Sadie huffed and groaned. "Gosh. He's such a work!"
"I see that he is the same, old Ben Glory, huh," Arisa commented with a sweat-drop.
"Quite honestly, I think he became even worse ever since we arrived here!" Sadie complained. "Just because he was chosen to be an ace player for the team doesn't mean he has the right to act like a snob."
"The school picked him to be the ace player for the team?" Arisa asked.
"Yup," Gabriel answered. "It is just one of his perks for being the son of one of the world's biggest mega-corporations, who's also our school's biggest supporter."
"So LA Ultra High picked that boy, Ben Glory, to be the ace player?" Felica thought aloud.
"Yeah. While I admit that he is strong, that doesn't mean he has the right to brag. But, then again, he always brags about himself and how glorious he is," Sadie said, rolling her eyes.
"Now, now. Let's forget about him for now," Gabriel suggested. "How are you, Arisa? Are you and your friends enjoying the party?"
"Oh, we are! This place is wonderful," Arisa said.
"So far, we met other interesting people from different teams," Felica noted. "Right, Yuki?
"Hmm-hmf," Yuki just nodded.
"Cool! Say, since Sadie and I have to meet our team captain to report Ben's attendance, would you all like to come with us?" Gabriel asked.
"Oh, the Captain? Wait. You mentioned the captain's name, Betty. Is it her?" Arisa asked.
"Who is she, Arisa?" Felica asked.
"I think the answer to that question will be answered if we meet the Team USA's captain herself," Yuki said.
"I don't mind either way," Kai said honestly.
"Well, since all of you agree, let's go and meet her," Gabriel decided as he led them.
"Let's go then," Sadie added.
Gabriel and Sadie led the first group of Team Japan to meet their team captain. However, Midoriya still couldn't stop thinking about Ben Glory. He wished he could've talked with him more, but for now, maybe he can learn more about him if he meets this mysterious captain of Team USA.
Kai noticed when Midoriya stood still, looking where Ben went.
"Hey, Midoriya." The boy snapped out of thought. "You're coming or what?"
"Oh! Um, yeah, I am!" Midoriya replied as he followed after Kai and others.
- Group B's POV –
The second group is composed of Team Japan's female members. They are Ochaco, Asui or Tsuyu, Jiro, and Momo. They just see Bakugo carrying away by Kirishima and Todoroki from the crowds.
Ochaco looked relieved while the other girls were sweat-dropped.
"Thank god that it didn't escalate," Ochaco commented.
"Gero, I agree," Tsuyu nodded.
"I just hope Bakugo doesn't ruin this party or worse!" Jiro concerned.
"It all thanks to that young man over there," Momo said, pointing to Ben Glory, who was talking with Kai, Midoriya, Felica, Arisa, and Yuki Drago.
"I wonder who he is," Jiro said, wondering.
"He did say his name aloud when he showed up. Ben Glory, I think," Tsuyu guessed.
"Ben Glory, Age 15, Gender Male, Height 5' 7''. The only child and heir to the Glorious Hero Corporation." The girls turned to a voice, who they quickly learned to belong to someone new.
The voice belonged to a young skinny boy who stood around 6 feet tall, standing as tall as their classmate, Mezo Shoji.
However, unlike other people at this party, this boy wears a flashy, glittering black vest and pants, a white dress suit with silver bowtie, silver cape, white gloves, black top hat, and black shoes. He has fair skin, light-brown eyes, and short silver hair with bangs.
The girls were surprised when this mysterious young man appeared before them.
"Who are you?" Jiro asked.
"Preston Kaster, at your service," the boy introduced himself as he performed a magic trick with cards in his hand.
"Preston Kaster?" Tsuyu asked.
"That's right, young froggy madam. Now, watch this." The girls watched Preston as he would do something with the cards. He suffered his deck of cards and then wavered his wave over them
"Abra Kadabra!" He chanted as he tapped the deck of cards, turning into a rose.
"Woah! The deck of cards turned into a rose!" Ochaco gasped.
"Ribbit! That's amazing," Tsuyu was impressed.
"My!" Momo was shocked, too.
"This rose is for you, miss." Preston handed the rose to Jiro, which she looked a bit surprised.
"Huh?" Jiro looked confused.
"A beautiful rose for a beautiful girl. It's fitting, don't you think?" Preston said with a wink.
"Huh?!" Jiro's face reddened as Ochaco, Tsuyu, and Momo gasped in the background.
"Ump!" Suddenly, something munched the rose.
"What the?!" Everyone was surprised. They turned to the culprit, who was eating the rose.
"Oh, sorry about that," said the culprit.
The culprit is a tall boy with a slim body, long spiky brown hair that kept back in a slick, Caucasian skin, black eyes, and razor-sharp teeth. Like most other guys, he wears a suit and tie, but he also has a mountain of food on his plate he's carrying.
"My name is Gajeel Bomba," Gajeel introduced himself. "I am second-year in Team Brazil, and I am always hungry. Therefore, I may occasionally eat something other than food. I apologize for eating your flower."
Others sweat-dropped at Gajeel's strange behavior.
"Well, an apology is accepted, and no worries. I can fix this flower with just a simple spell," Preston stated as he waved his wand. "Alakazam!"
He tabbed the flower, and it restored to its original state.
"Wow! That's amazing!" Ochaco impressed again. "Are you a magician?"
Preston chuckled. "Yes, and actually, my magical ability is also my Quirk!"
"Really? What do you mean, ribbit?" Tsuyu asked.
"Well, I am not supposed to tell it to someone from another team, but I will tell you since you are lovely ladies!" Preston decided with a wink. "My Quirk is Spell Chant. I can cast any kind of spell by wavering my wand here and saying my special chant. But, of course, I have to cast my spell completely for my Quirk to work."
"That sounds amazing. Unscientific, but amazing," Momo commented.
"I see," Gajeel nodded. "As part of my apology, I will admit and explain my Quirk, too. It is called Power Spew. When I eat something solid or pure energy, I can store them in my belly for a few seconds and then spit them out as an explosive ball of liquids."
"Really?!" Ochaco gasped.
Gajeel laughed. "But don't worry about it. It won't work when I am eating food and beverages."
"Ha, ha, ha! Jolly good show! That sounds like an interesting Quirk," Preston laughed as Gajeel rubbed the back of his head, feeling blushed.
"Hmph. Oh, it indeed sounds interesting. Interestingly stupid," said a female voice.
They turned to see a girl approaching them. The girl stood at five and a half feet tall. She had medium, dark brown hair with swoopy layers, large gray eyes, medium chest, and olive skin. She wore a purple dress and carried a big purple feather fan, making her look like a princess. She also had a silver Tierra decorated with gems on her head.
"And who are you, my dear lady?" Preston asked politely.
"My name is Enza Victoria," Enza snootily introduced. "1st-year from Battle Hero High and captain of Team Italy! Don't you forget it!"
"Captain of a team and 1st-year?!" Ochaco asked, looking surprised.
"That's right. I know what you are all thinking. Pretty impressive for a first-year student, am I right? You can save your applaud later, but you don't need to hold it. I will accept them anytime," Enza boasted.
The UA girls, Gajeel, and Preston didn't know what to think about Enza, but they were not fond of her attitude.
"Well, that's quite an accomplishment!" Gajeel said in a positive tone. "First time I've ever heard about a first-year being a captain of the team in J-HOL."
Then Gajeel noticed a butler carrying some food on the tray with his hand, catching his attention.
"Oh! Sorry to interrupt, but I will be going now! Nice talking with you all!" said Gajeel quickly as he left the scene.
"Hmph, good ridden," Enza mumbled, which Jiro heard and felt a bit offended.
"Hey, you don't have to be rude, you know," Jiro spoke up.
Enza looked at Jiro and smirked. "So you girls are from the famous UA High?" She walked around the girls, looking at them from toe to head. Her examination of them made the girls nervous and annoyed.
"Well, most of you look pretty normal. Most of you," Enza said, with the last part sounding a bit more jeering as she glared at Momo. "I look forward to you all and your team's performance at this event. Ciao."
She waved her hair as she turned around and left them.
"What is up with that girl?" Ochaco asked, looking concerned.
"She is a prick! That's what!" Jiro complained.
"I don't like her attitude, ribbit," Tsuyu admitted.
"She was quite rude. I hope we don't see her too often during the time we are here for upcoming days," Momo stated.
"Oh, I praise that would be true, my dear…. Funny, I haven't even got your lovely ladies' name yet! How rude of me!" Preston laughed it off.
"Oh! Well, my name is Momo Yaoyorozu," Momo introduced.
"I am Asui Tsuyu. So you can just call me Tsu," Tsuyu said.
"I'm Ochaco, Ochaco Uraraka," Ochaco answered.
"And I, I am Kyoka Jiro," Jiro flustered a bit.
"Thank you, and I apologize for not asking names earlier. Who knows what other interesting character pop-out to join the conversation, you know?" Preston joked.
The girls giggled a bit while they sweat-dropped at Preston's joke, but they do agree on him on that.
"Well, ladies. It was nice knowing. I hope to see you all soon, especially you, my lady," Preston said, taking Jiro's hand surprisingly and giving a slight kiss.
"What?!" Jiro gasped as her face immediately turned red, and steam came out of her ears. The other three just watched and gasped.
"Enjoy the rest of your evening," Preston said as he left.
The other three girls huddled around Jiro.
"Jiro-chan! Look at you! Already have someone interested in you!" Ochaco praised.
"How lucky you are, Jiro-chan," Tsuyu commented.
"Indeed!" Momo agreed. "I can already see a blossom of romance blooming between you and that young lad, Preston Kaster. What do you think of him, Jiro-san?"
Jiro's eyes were blank as white, and then she fainted.
"Jiro!" The girls gasped when Jiro fainted.
- Group C's POV –
"Let me go! Let me go, you two! Grrr!" Bakugo yelled as Todoroki and Kirishima were dragging him.
Another group of people see the commotion. They are Ida, Mineta, and Eli from UA, along with Valeria Calor and Beatriz Delgado from other schools.
"Phew. I thought Bakugo would ruin this party, and we would get into trouble," Mineta sighed, looking relieved.
"You tell me, Grape Juice," Eli agreed.
"Fortunately, the worst-case scenario has been prevented, thanks to that young gentleman who jumped in and stopped Bakugo and that other big gentleman," Ida noted.
"You guys seem to have, um, a very troublesome guy in your team," Valerie commented, sweat dropping.
"You got that right, Valerie," Mineta nodded.
"Oi!" Beatriz said. "I can say the same thing, but alas, everything is fine now, so let's continue to dance!"
She grabbed Ida's arms again, forcing him to dance with her, but they were soon interrupted again.
"Hey, guys." Usagi popped out of nowhere.
"Holy crap! Usagi!" Mineta gasped.
"Sorry to surprise you all. I just got back from the girls' room. My tongue still feels a bit hot from the spice, but it is much better now," Usagi explained.
"That's good to hear," Valerie said, looking very relieved. "I hope I didn't hurt you, Usagi."
"No problem. So what did I miss?" she curiously asked.
"Bakugo was going to fight against this big dude who looks like a rhinoceros, but then another guy showed up out of nowhere and stopped them. His name was Ben Glory or something," Eli explained.
"Holy Carrot! That sounds shocking, and I missed it! I should've stayed and taken a snapshot of it with my phone!" Usagi gasped.
"Why would you take a picture of people fighting?!" Mineta looked shocked at her while Valerie sweat-dropped at Usagi's reaction and her strange comment.
"I've never seen two people fight at a fancy party, and I thought it would be a very cool picture if I took it when it happened." She defended her claim, which others reacted with a sweatdrop.
"Anyway, enough talk about a fight, let's dance!" Beatriz exclaimed.
"Hello, people of UA and some other people I don't know of!" Hloridi appeared as he and Kaminari walked over to join them. Beatriz glared at them as she was getting annoyed with all the interruptions.
"We heard there was a fight going on and came to check it out. What had happened?" Kaminari asked.
"It was Bakugo. He was going to fight some big dude who looked like a rhinoceros!" Usagi admitted.
"Woah! He was?! Then again, I wouldn't be that surprised if Bakugo was the one in a fight with someone," Kaminari thought aloud.
"Ho, I wish I could've joined in that fight! I would've won and had a good challenge before the official game starts!" Hloridi exclaimed.
"Hloridi-san, I don't think that would be a good idea if you join in a fight! You would get hurt and, worst of all, in trouble as well!" Ida scolded.
"Don't worry, Ida, my lad, I can take some bruises here and there. I am very experienced in a brawl. I quite often get into fights, even ones that I didn't cause!" Hloridi admitted.
"Holy Carrot! Really?!" Usagi gasped.
"What kind of life do you live in?" Valerie said, with a sweat-drop and wary eyes.
"An exciting life full of adventures and new encounters, of course!" Hloridi excitedly exclaimed as he laughed it off.
"AAAAAAH!" They all stopped and stared at Beatriz. The people around them also stopped and stared at her, too.
"Cale-se! Todos vocês! Já cansei de vocês todos falando em briga e fico chateado com o quanto sou interrompido! Eu só queria dançar e seus idiotas continuem batendo papo! Se você quer bater um papo muito, tudo bem! Eu vou sair e dançar em outro lugar! Adeus!"
Beatriz yelled angrily at them and stormed away while dancing angrily. They were left speechless until a random person coughed.
"What just happened?" Usagi asked, looking very confused.
"What did she say, Eli?" Mineta asked him.
"Well, let's just say she needed to go somewhere else and get her head clear," Eli answered with a lie. He did understand what she said, but it would be too mean to translate it directly to his friends, so he didn't say it.
"She seems to look upset. I will apologize to her later when I see her again," Ida decided.
"You do that, a young lad of the engine," Eli joked.
"Please don't call me that," Ida replied as everyone laughed.
Meanwhile, the group didn't notice that one person was looking at them. The person was a young girl who stood about two feet taller than Mineta. She had short, bobbed light-purpled hair, fair skin, and magenta eyes, with her right eye looking almost like a camera lens. She had a bang of hair that knot in a circle held by beed accessory in her hair. She was wearing a light purple dress with short sleeves, black shoes, and white stockings. There was an opened slit on her left arm as the paper came out of it.
The mysterious girl read the paper and nodded as she folded it and put it in her pockets before she walked away.
Usagi's ears sensed the girls' presence as she turned in the girl's direction while the latter walked away.
"What's wrong, Usagi?" Valeria asked.
"Did anyone see that little girl?" Usagi questioned.
"What little girl?" Kaminari asked.
"She was staring at us for a moment but then left," Usagi stated.
"Probably just a lost child invited to the party," Eli said.
"Or it could be someone as tall as Mineta," Kaminari said, smirking a bit.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Mineta glared.
Usagi raised her eyebrows and thought to herself. 'Funny. I thought I sensed someone staring at us. Maybe it was my imagination.'
The same girl staring at Usagi and others met up with a familiar bold man with a fedora hat.
"Good job, Ninetta," Boomba praised as he read the paper given by the girl. "This would do well for us. Keep up with the work."
Ninetta silently said nothing back as she nodded and walked away, looking at other contestants as she printed out more papers and put them in her pockets.
- Group D's POV –
A crowd of people scattered and went on their business after the fight was stopped. However, there was one particular boy who wished otherwise.
'Damn it!' Monoma was crossed. 'I wish that rhinoceros guy beaten up Bakugo! Then just maybe, I would've replaced him to be in the main team! Curse that boy who showed up out of nowhere!'
"Why do you look so upset and angry, Monoma?" Kendo's questioning snapped the boy out of his thought.
He grinned innocently at her. "Nothing. Nothing at all, Kendo."
"Zzzz," Junko snored while sitting on the chair.
"Well, those two guys were going to go at it, don't you?" asked the girl with a light-blue jellyfish bell for her head and long tentacles for her hair. This girl is Jelicia Sting, a student and member of Team Haiti that Kendo, Monoma, and Junko met.
"At least we don't have to worry about them to feel sorry... But, Doh, I missed up the joke again!" Jelicia grinned as she laughed to herself.
Kendo and Monoma sweat-dropped at her.
"But wait! One of the boys that carried that scarry, blond kid was Shoto Todoroki, was it?" Jelicia asked.
"Um, yeah. He was," Kendo answered.
"Then I got to meet him!" Jelicia said as she ran away but stopped for a moment and turned back around for a moment. "It's been great meeting you guys. I hope to see you around. Bye!"
Jelicia Sting ran off to find Todoroki while Monoma and Kendo watched her go away.
"Good ridden! That Jelicia Sting is a bit too... bubbly," Monoma commented.
"Monoma, you don't have to comment about people," Kendo scolded him, then sighed. "Though she was kind of bubbly, I think she is a nice person."
"Well, well, well. So you did come, just as I expected," said a female voice.
Kendo and Monoma jumped a bit and looked around to find who said that while Junko snored peacefully. But then, they finally noticed someone approaching them.
It is another girl who stood around the same height as Junko. She has a half-shaved head with green hair bang on her left. She wears an oversized green eyeliner that makes her eyes look serpent-like as her eyes were yellow like most reptilian eyes. She also has fair skin and an hourglass yet slender body. She also wears an emerald-colored Asian-style dress with green slippers for footwear. Her lips are red.
Kendo and Monoma met the girl's eye. Her eyes gave them a chill down their spines. They didn't know why, but they could feel something fearful about this person. Someone that they thought that they need to be careful with.
"Um, hello," said Kendo bravely, though jittering a bit. "Wh-Who are you?"
The girl with serpent eyes looked at Kendo, making her look pale as she stepped back a bit. Monoma sweated nervously.
"Sorry to surprise you all. My name's Mai, Mai Slitherhead," Mai introduced slitherly.
"Slitherhead? Just what kind of a name..." Mai turned her eyes and gave a silent glare at Monoma, which made him shut his mouth quickly.
"Sorry about him, Mai. My name is Itsuka Kendo. The rude boy here is Neito Monoma, and the girl who's sleeping on the chair is..."
"Junko Neru," she said.
"You know her?" Kendo asked.
"Know her? We have a bit of history together. We used to train together," Mai stated.
"Train together?" Monoma repeated as Kendo looked curious.
"It will be too long to tell about it, and if I do, it will last longer than this dull party," Mai stated as she walked over and hunched to Junko's level. "Sleepy Beauty as always, aren't you, Junko?"
"..." Junko quietly sleeps without making any move.
Mai got up and walked a bit away from Junko, but then quickly turned back around and almost laid a hit on her face with her finger. Kendo and Monoma gasped when she did that.
Junko didn't react at all as Mai's fingers were an inch away from touching her forehead.
"Wh-What do you think you're doing to Junko?!" Kendo broke the silence. "Stop it!"
There was a silent stare between Mai and sleeping Junko until Mai smirked and pulled back her arm.
"I know you are listening, Junko. Be warned. This J-HOL Games will be our ground for our great rematch. You better not lose until we fight," Mai said as she hissed like a snake and laughed as she left.
"Geez, what a creep," Monoma said.
"For once, I agree with you, Monoma," Kendo noted. "Just who was she? And what does she has to do with Junko?"
Kendo turned to her fellow 1st-year student and kneeled to her level. "Junko, that girl, Mai, whoever she is, knows that you are listening. So, I want to ask you. Who was she?"
"Zzzzz..." Junko snored peacefully.
Kendo sighed and shrugged. "I guess she won't wake up."
- Group E's POV –
Kirishima and Todoroki dragged yelling Bakugo away from most people. Then, they bought him to outside the building at an expansive outdoor balcony. There were few people around, so it was an excellent place to relax and allow Bakugo to vent without embarrassing others or getting into trouble, hopefully.
"Why the hell did you bring me here?!" Bakugo yelled.
"Calm down, Bakugo! If you really fight someone at this party, don't you know how much trouble we would be?" Kirishima said.
"We would most likely get kicked out of the team or worse," Todoroki said calmly.
Bakugo huffed and crossed his arms as he looked upset and not caring at all.
"Hmph! I would've taken care of that rhino bastard easily if it wasn't for that Ben Molly guy butted in," Bakugo denounced.
"His name is Ben Glory," Todoroki corrected him, but Bakugo didn't care to fix a person's name or listen to him for that matter.
"My, my, my. Aren't you such a refreshing young man?" said a female voice.
The boys turned around, and each of them had a different reaction. Bakugo looked irritated but with a curious look. Todoroki looked calm, but his eyes showed a hint of surprise. Finally, Kirishima grinned at the said person.
The person who called to them is a beautiful young woman or older teenager, probably 17 years old. She has long black hair in a purple dress with a V-shaped crop that reveals the upper half of her chest but has two big bosoms. She had dark brown eyes.
"Good evening, gentlemen. Sorry if I interrupt your little boys' chat, but I recognize all of the three's faces. You all must be from the famous UA High, right?" asked the young pre-adult girl asked seductively.
"That's right, maim!" Kirishima flexed his arm excitedly. "I'm Enjiro Kirishima!"
"My name's Shoto Todoroki," Shoto greeted calmly.
"Tch, the name's Katsuki Bakugo," Bakugo growled. "What do you want, lady?"
"Bakugo! Don't be so rude, man!" Kirishima warned him.
"No, no, It is fine, young Kirishima," the young lady said. "Besides, I love a tough man. My name is Wang Meihui, by the way."
"Hi!" Jelicia Sting popped out of nowhere, surprising the boys and Wang Meihui.
"Who the hell are you?!" Bakugo roared as he jumepd a bit.
"My name's Jellica Sting! You must be Shoto Todoroki, right?" Jelicia asked in front of Todoroki, who sweat-dropped from the sudden appearance of this jellyfish girl.
Her ignoring Bakugo made him get irritated a bit as he watched them.
"Um, yeah. That's me," Shoto answered.
"You're even cuter in person," Jelicia joyfully said as she blushed. "Would you be my boyfriend?"
"What?" Todoroki looked confused while Kirishima gasped, and Bakugo raised his eyebrows to hear the girl say what she said.
"Hey, wait!" Wang Meihui pulled Jelicia away from Todoroki to her. "Who do you think you are? And are you mad? You can't just go and ask a handsome boy to be your boyfriend!"
Jelicia let go of herself from Wang Meihui's grasp. "Hey, let me go, Miss! And be careful when you pull. Touching one of my stinger hails will hurt... a lot."
Bakugo, Kirishima, and Todoroki watched the two foreigner girls arguing with each other as they didn't exactly know what they could do about it or if they even needed to until...
"OMG! Aren't you Shoto Todoroki from UA High, Japan?!" Suddenly, more girls gathered around the boys, more specifically Todoroki.
The girls were strangely composed of half-animal and half-human beings. One had a beak of a bird and feathered arms. Another one had the head and body of a kangaroo. There was also looked ordinary human girl except for two wolf-like ears on her head and a canine-like nose and mouth.
"You look so cool!"
"You were so impressive at your school's sports festival! I saw it all on TV!"
"May I have your autograph, Todoroki!"
"Woah. Todoroki is getting all the ladies' attention," Kirishima commented.
"What are you girls doing?!" Everyone stopped and turned to see another young lady joining them as she walked towards them with a stern expression.
The said lady is a beautiful teenage girl who's tall as Wang Meihui. She has long black hair tied into a ponytail in a white Asian dress, like Meihui. She has light brown eyes.
"Woah, who is she?" Kirishima said, slightly excited as he told it to Bakugo's ear.
"How the hell should I know?" Bakugo replied.
"Well, well, Qiaolian. Did you come to join and indulge with one of these three young, handsome boys? It's just that you are bit little late for it as you can see they are very occupied," ribbed Meihui.
"I'm not here to grab the attention of boys, Meihui. However, I don't approve with so much attention to a single person," Qiaolian said as she turned to Todorok and the unknown girls. "You girls. Leave that young man alone!"
"Tch! What's your big idea, mate?" argued one of the girls.
"Yeah, seriously! You are mean like a bean!" Jelicia exclaimed.
Everyone turned to her and looked very confused at what she said.
Kirishima just slapped his head while Bakugo shook his head.
"Anyway. What I am saying is to give that young man some personal space. This is a reception party for all J-HOL participants to interact and socialize. While it is nice to get along with each other, that doesn't mean we should get too close to know each other," Qiaolian explained.
The girls turned and huffed.
"Fine. We will leave for now," said one of the half-animal girls who looked like a kangaroo. "Come on, girls. Let's leave and meet up with others."
"Fine," the other girls said, sounding very disappointed.
"Oh! I should meet up with my teammates then," Jelicia realized. "See you later, Todoroki! I hope to see you around. Goodbye to you and your friends!"
Jelicia Sting also left the scene, leaving only the boys and the two Wang girls.
"So Qiaolian. I assume that you aren't here to scold for a reason, right?" Meihui asked, looking dissatisfied.
"As a team captain, I am letting all our members come back to the team for a special announcement near the stage inside," Qiaolian admitted.
"The stage? Oh! I see. So it is about the time," Meihui realized something.
"Stage? What's happening there?" Kirishima asked.
"A special annoucement. I assume that the President of J-HOL will make his appearance. I saw him earlier before I came here. So I would recommend you, boys, to go and meet the rest of your group. All participants are required to go and listen to the special announcement. That's why they are all gathered here at this party," Qiaolian explained.
"Then we better get going," Kirishima decided. "Thank you for letting us know, um..."
"Wang Qiaolian. That's my name," Qiaolian introduced.
"Oh, thank you! You two seem to share the same name," Kirishima pointed out.
"That's because we are related," Meihui admitted. "I am her cousin, but don't forget I am the pretty one."
"Just keep walking," Qiaolian growled.
"Yes, yes, your majesty," Meihui ridiculed.
- Group A's POV –
Gabriel and Sadie led Midoriya, Kai, Yuki Drago, Arisa, and Felicia to meet the team's captain.
"Oh, there is she!" Gabriel pointed.
"And it seems like she is with our sub-coach, too," Sadie added.
"Oh, is that...?" Finally, Arisa realized the said sub-coach.
As the group walked, the members of Team Japan noticed two people talking with each other.
One is a tall woman with long, straight hair in red, white, and blue color-like stripes of the USA flag. She has narrow blue eyes and fair skin. Her hero costume is a skin-tight white bodysuit decorated with a red and yellow symbol that somewhat resembles a torch, designed with a blue diamond at its center, with red and white lines connected to it that trace from her chest to her back shoulders. The sequences are trimmed with the aforementioned torch symbol. A gold belt with a silver buckle-shaped eagle is worn around her waist. Her forearm sleeves are colored in red that each has white lines in blue accents over her wrists, and has small spiked fins on the sides of the arms. Her feet are covered in shin-length red boots trimmed with white and blue accents.
The other person is a younger woman who still look like a teenager. She has light skin, medium pink hair, and light-red eyes. She ears a matching dress with the same color as her hair and earpieces shaped of a crescent moon. She also has an almost perfect hourglass-shaped body and looks taller due to her high heels. In addition, she has a strange-looking watch on her left wrist.
"OH, MY GAWD!" Everyone around Midoriya was spooked when Midoriya shouted. He ran ahead of the group and approached the woman in the white bodysuit.
"You must be Captain Liberty! The DE Captain Liberty!" Midoriya said excitedly.
"Ummmm, yes, that's my name," Captain Liberty said with a smile, though they looked a bit surprised by the sudden erupting appearance of Midoriya in front of her.
"Hey, Miss Liberty." She and the other girl turned to Gabriel, Sadie, and the rest of the group joining her.
"Hello, Gabriel. I assume that this boy is a friend of yours?" Captain Liberty asked with a grin.
"Yeah. Well, he is a friend of our friend," Gabriel explained.
"Hello, Miss Liberty! It's been a long time, no see," Arisa greeted. "So to you, too, Betty."
"Arisa! What's up!" Captain Liberty greeted happily. "I am happy to see you again. It's been a while. How is your experience n the hero student exchange program?"
"Long time no see, Arisa. How are you doing?" Betty asked.
"It's been great, Miss Liberty, Betty," Arisa answered with a smile. "Let me introduce you both to my friends. This here is Felicia Marvel. She is also an exchange student. We go to the same hero class at UA, and she's originally from the UK."
"Greetings. My name is Felicia Marvel. It's a pleasure to meet you both," Felicia greeted.
"And this is Kai Uno. He is one of our classmates," Arisa introduced Kai.
"Hello," Kai greeted in a standard, almost monochromatic tone.
"This boy here is Yuki Drago. He is another one of our classmates," Arisa explained.
"It is an honor to meet you all," Yuki greeted politely.
"Ah! I think I've seen you two before. You two fought each other during your school's sports festival, right?" Betty asked.
"That fight was quite intense! A little bit extreme, but quite exciting!" Captain Liberty commented as she grinned at it.
"Thank you," Yuki replied while Kai stayed quiet as he didn't make any comment on that past event.
"And, of course, you already met Izuku Midoriya. He is a friend of ours from UA High, but he is part of a different hero class."
"It is so honored to meet you, Captain Liberty! I read all things about you! After you graduated from hero school, you worked under Star and Stripe for two years as a sidekick and then moved up to become a solo Pro Hero and pro activist in humanitarian work worldwide! You are such an inspiration, and I am just so blah, blah, blah!"
Midoriya kept blabbering about how much he knew about Captain Liberty and commented how inspiring she was, but everyone looked at him and sweat-dropped at his behavior.
"Hey, Midoriya," Kai spoke up. "I think she gets the point..."
"Thank you, Midoriya Izuku!" Captain Liberty interrupted Kai, which surprised him as the former began a speech. "I accept your kind words about me and my accomplishment, but I think it is best to save your admiration about me for another time and just have a normal conversation for the rest of the evening. Don't you think?"
"Um, yes, maim!" Midiroya felt encouraged to stop his blabbering until he realized himself stop blabbering. "Huh, what the?"
"That's the power of our teacher and sub-coach, Captain Liberty's Quirk," Sadie stated. "The power of the Speech of All."
"Speech of All?" Yuki asked.
"You see," Captain Liberty began. "With my Quirk, Speech of All, it allows me to encourage people to do something when I make a speech to them. It also has an effect to boost the listeners' morale and Quirk strength."
"So, it is kind of like hypnosis in a sense," Kai said.
Captain Liberty almost back-flipped herself. "Well, kind of. It is not like I am intentionally manipulating them, but I use my Quirk to help people by making them help themselves through word of encouragement."
"Thanks to her power, people at LA Ultra High are more lively and encouraged to study hard and do better," Betty mentioned aloud.
"Hey now. Most of the hard work is done by them, not just me, you know," Captain Liberty teased.
"Anyway, I think I should introduce myself properly. My name is Betty Long," Betty introduced. "I am third-year from LA Ultra High and the captain of Team USA."
"So you are the captain of the team! That's pretty cool," Arisa exclaimed.
Betty grinned. "Thank you, Arisa. So, who is the captain of your team? Any sub-captain?"
"Oh, well, our team captain is Midoriya here, and sub-captain is Kai," she answered.
Midoriya looked admiringly at Captain Liberty as Captain Liberty talked about her life adventures during her Pro Hero life while Betty Long sweat-dropped at them.
"I see," she said, sweat-dropping. "I had a feeling."
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Sadie remembered something. "Ben has arrived not too long time ago. He is just... fine. Annoying, but fine."
"I see," Betty nodded, looking indifferent and calm about it. "Thank you for letting me know, Sadie."
"Oh! Speaking of which!" Everyone turned to Midoriya. "I am glad to meet you both because there is something or rather someone that I want to ask you both about."
"What would that be, Midoriya? If it is anything I can help with, I will gladly answer any questions for you," Captain Liberty said confidently.
"I want to know a little bit more about Ben Glory," Midoriya asked.
"What do you want to know about him, Midoriya? You saw how he is," Sadie insisted.
"Well, I kind of get who he is, but when we first saw him yesterday when that blob villain attacked at the park, he said about being the next successor of All Might, and I was wondering what he meant by it," Midoriya explained.
Hearing this made others curious, including Kai. He wondered why would Midoriya ask this. Kai thought whatever Ben Glory said was him being harsh, but to Midoriya, he seemed to look more curious and concerned, which piqued Kai's interest a little bit.
Captain Liberty looked at Midoriya with a quiet yet strict look but quickly changed to a grin or more like a smirk.
"Well, Midoriya and everyone else who's curious," Captain Liberty began. "Though Ben is a show-off and sometimes obnoxious, his skill and strength don't lie at all. He was trained by the best, though with support from his super-rich father and family, who own the Glorious Hero Corporation."
"Wait? Ben Glory is the son of the CEO of Glorious Hero Corp?!" Midoriya gasped.
"Glorious Hero Corp?" Kai and others thought the same.
No people in the world doesn't know the Glorious Hero Corporation. It is the largest company globally that focuses on creating unique hero costumes fitting for many Pro Heroes around the world. They also do many charities and donations worldwide to help or benefit societies, including hero schools in many parts of the world.
"That's right," Betty Long nodded. "Ben is the sole heir to the Glorious Hero Corporation. Now, he is also a student at LA Ultra High, probably the best student I've ever seen, admittedly. If he keeps up with his training and maybe be less obnoxious, he can potentially be the next Symbol of Peace, and he does have that potential."
"Even some of the media says that he can," Betty added. "He already accomplished a lot of work that only Pro Hero can do, and he is only just 15 years old."
Everyone was a bit astonished as they stayed silent. Midoriya was in deep thought when hearing that, though his face also showed a bit of wonder and concern at the same time. Kai noticed Midoriya's concerned look.
"Oh! Kai!" Someone called out his name as he snapped out of thought.
He noticed a familiar girl with long caramel blond hair and a red beret heading his way. The girl was also with another person, a strange boy who wore white makeup, had a beret but in black color, and half black and white striped dress suit.
"Aurora!" Kai exclaimed.
"Good evening, Kai. We meet again," Aurora greeted happily.
"It looks like so," Kai noted.
"Who is this, Kai?" Yuki Drago asked.
"Oh, right," Kai said. "This is Aurora Blanchet, the girl I met at the same hotel we're staying. She is from Team France, and also 1st-year from her school."
"It is a pleasure to meet you all. I am Aurora," Aurora introduced herself. "And this here is my friend, Will Mimic. He's my classmate, too."
Will smiled and bowed politely as a way of greeting. He didn't say any words.
Arisa remembered this girl in the morning. She was the one who waved Kai when they waited for others at the hotel lobby.
"Kai, I actually wanted to see you since we last talked this morning. Could we continue where we left off? If that is OK right now?" Aurora asked.
Kai wondered why, but he didn't mind it at all. "Sure."
"And I want to talk with you. Just the two of us," Aurora added.
"Oh," Kai replied. He was now very curious as to why.
"Um, sure," he answered as he turned to his friends. "I will be back, guys. See you later."
Arisa looked a bit curious and worried. She wondered why that girl, Aurora wanted to talk so much. Felica noticed Arisa's concerned look and how hard she looked at Kai leaving.
- My Hero Academia –
Aurora took Kai to somewhere private at one of the smaller balconies. Will Mimic stood around, minding his own business as he just acted like the mime he is.
"So, you mentioned continuing where we left off?" Kai asked.
"Right," Aurora nodded as they stood side by side, watching the beautiful city of Athens in the night. "You wanted to know more about the song I sang this morning."
"Oh right!" Kai remembered. "Yeah. You sang pretty well when I heard it."
"Thank you," Aurora said happily. "The song I sang is an old song that my late grandmother used to sing to me when I was little. She taught me about it."
"Yeah, about the song... I just don't know why, but it sounds familiar," Kai admitted. "I don't know why I think that. I've never heard of it until I heard you singing this morning today, but yet deep down, I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."
"Really?" Aurora pondered aloud. "That's indeed strange. Maybe you heard of it in your past life."
"My past life?" Kai repeated.
Aurora giggled. "I am just teasing, but yes, this song is originally from a place where my late grandmother was born."
"Oh, I see. You did mention that the song isn't French, so I know that it is not from France," Kai reminded her.
"Right," she nodded. "According to my grandmother, it is a song passed down from generation to generation. It is a ubiquitous song from where she came from."
"Where did your grandmother come from? What's the name of her country?" Kai asked.
"The song came from a country called Monovakia," she answered.
"Monovakia," Kai repeated. "I've never heard of that country before, but... why does it sound so familiar?"
"Are you OK, Kai? Maybe you did have a past life," Aurora said.
Kai nodded away. "Nah. Maybe it is just my brain tricking me. Being here in Greece and going through all the stuff that happened just made me more tired than I know."
Aurora grinned. "Well, cheer up. The party only just started."
"I see you are having a good time, Kai." The boy gasped as he slowly turned around to see his older sister, gleaming with pride.
"Ah! Sis!" Kai gasped as Aurora looked surprised, and Will had the same expression as Kai.
"What are you doing here?!" He demanded.
"I'm here to get you, silly. Something is going on in the reception hall, near the stage. It looks important," Speed Girl stated. "You better get there soon with your new lady friend, or you'll be late."
His older sister, Haruko Uno, walked away as she giggled to herself.
"Hey, it isn't like this, OK!" Kai yelled back, but his shout was deaf to his sister's ear as he was already gone.
"I guess our conversation for tonight has to end for now," Aurora noted. "Let's go to the stage then."
"I guess so. Sorry about that, Aurora," Kai apologized.
"That's OK. That woman was your sister?" She asked as Will had a curious expression.
"Yeah, she is," Kai sighed in an annoyed tone. "And what's worse is she is also my homeroom teacher."
"Wow! Really?! She is also a teacher! Interesting," Aurora was impressed.
Kai, Aurora, and Will headed back inside and noticed a massive crowd of people gathering near the stage. They joined the group. Kai noticed that all his friends and teammates were assembled, though, in separate groups, he could see all of them. He even also noticed that Solana Bell was with Midoriya, standing besides him. He wondered why or when did she join him, and others, but he ignored the curioustiy for now. He stayed with Aurora and Will, for now, to see what's going to happen.
"Good evening, everyone," MC announced through the mic. "Welcome to J-HOL Reception Party and Athens! We are very honored to come far and wide to this beautiful yet ancient city. Now, I would like to present to you the very man who invited you all and participate in the bi-annual J-HOL. Please welcome the President of the J-HOL Committee, Mr. Gregory Giorno Deer."
A man walked up onto the stage as the MC handed in the mic to the man. Kai remembered seeing this man back when the teachers announced Team Japan and their invitation to J-HOL. The man was a tall guy in a black suit with a white dress and red bowtie. The exciting part was the two deer horns growing out of his head.
"Good evening, J-HOL participants! My name is Gregory Giorno Deer, and I am the current President of the J-HOL Committee, the organization that founded and managed the J-HOL Games every two years. The Committee and I are honored to meet you all in person finally. You all came here to participate in not just any sports event, but a formal event that transcends generations and shows off the uniqueness of Quirk users to create a bridge between the people of many backgrounds. Just like how our founder dreamed of long, long ago. However, unlike the past J-HOL Games, I have something special, or rather someone special, joining us tonight, and he is the one who will be our special judge and a guest for the J-HOL Games. So I welcome him now to the stage."
The light dimmed as a spotlight aimed at the curtain behind President Deer as he stepped away to the side. The shadow of a muscular figure appeared behind the curtain, and then an echo of a familiar laugh was heard from behind.
"Ha, ha, ha!" The figure laughed as everyone was confused at first, but some recognized who it was, and they couldn't believe it.
"It is I! I AM HERE!" The curtain opened, and it revealed to be the one and only, the Symbol of Peace himself, All Might.
"HOLY CARROT! It's All Might!" Usagi gasped as people cheered and were surprised. Then, the invited media took pictures of All Might while the participants cheered and were surprised to see All Might.
"It is All Might!" One student pointed.
"Mi héroe favorito, All Might!" Someone said in Spanish.
"Удивительный!" Someone else said in Russian.
"All Might?!" Midoriya was surprised as everyone else, probably more than everyone else.
"So the rumor was true," Ben Glory smirked.
"The number 1 Hero in Japan, and possibly the best in the world, All Might…." Solana mumbled to herself as she grinned.
"Give it up for All Might!" President Deer exclaimed as people gave a round of applaud. "Now, with his honor, All Might here will signal the start of the 31st J-HOL Games by lighting the Sacred Torch!"
A lady dressed like an ancient Athenian handed All Might take a real-life lit torch as a giant torch came onto the stage. All Might put the torch near the huge torch, and it immediately made it go flame as it burned brightly.
"And that begins the 31st J-HOL Games!" President Deer announced as everyone gave another round of applaud.
Kai, his friends, teammates, and new friends watched as the torch burned brightly. However, while the light of the J-HOL's Sacred Torch gave them a bright light for the coming days, nobody knew at the time that a shadow of mystery and danger was looming over them for the rest of the J-HOL Games.
The story will continue.
Good evening, everyone! I am back with possibly the biggest update for MHA, and this will be the last story update for the year.
I have a lot of plan for my MHA Line of Good and Evil series, which include but not least, spin-offs and few original ideas per say.
As matter of fact, I am going to reveal something around after Christmas as a holiday gift for what's coming next year.
Please look forward to it.
Also, I would like to give credits to johannvanguard for some of the OCs introduced in this chapter, and to TheGreatGodzilla for the OCs, Wang Meihui and Wang Qiaolian.
With all that said, I hope you all have a safe and wonderful Christmas and New Year! See you all again little bit later, and 2022.
