Welcome to the brand new rendition of the fated Marvel/BNHA crossover! I've had months to really think about how to mold this world around this idea, and now I feel confident to share the second version with you!

*I do not own anything. Boku no Hero Academia belongs to Kohei Horikoshi and Shueisha Inc. All characters borrowed from Marvel properties belong to Marvel Entertainment and the Walt Disney Corporation.

A loud sigh echoed throughout the empty halls of Yuuei. Izuku Midoriya was walking through the entrance to his high school. The Final Exams had ended just yesterday, and he was tired; very, very tired. No, it was more than that. He was completely exhausted. From his match with Todoroki, his internship, from the the exams...and Stain. The Hero Killer. That fanatic was still lurking in the recesses of his mind. It wasn't often that Midoriya underestimated his opponents, but he had made that unfortunate mistake that fateful night, and he had a lot of time since then to think about what that encounter really meant to him.

The lunatic could have easily killed him, Todoroki and Iida too. They were lucky, and he was glad they managed to scrape by, but the young man couldn't forget the things that Stain had said, about the hypocrisy of heroes, run by individual greed and glory.

For as long as he could remember, he admired heroes. But now that he was in the thick of it all, the dark spots in the hero world were easier to see. Not all heroes were perfect. Even All Might, his beloved mentor, was prone to doubt and cynicism, just like when the two had first met all those months ago. Thinking back to his classmates, he had always admired their dedication and resolve to become heroes, mostly for noble reasons. But they were young, they had only gotten tastes of the real world. Whose to say that they won't end up the same way when they graduate? Himself, Uraraka, Iida, Kacchan...

Midoriya stopped in front of the doorway to his classroom, the ridiculously oversized door shadowing his meek, bandaged frame. He had been so wrapped up in the recent fight and his own self-doubt that he had forgotten that he should be excited. He had passed the final exam, partnered up with Kacchan no less! He hadn't been confident in their performance at the time but they managed to work together! Even if it did piss off his childhood friend, and knowing the guy's explosive ego, he'd probably hold it against him forever. Midoriya smiled to himself. At least the teamwork was something productive between the two them. He was still out cold in the nurse's office, of course. He hoped he'd be all right.

Either way, Midoriya decided to smile, just like his mentor had taught him. He had learned so much this term, and he was ready to take the time to relax now that they were on vacation. He walked in with a spring in his step. He still couldn't help but wonder what they were going to be doing today. They were supposed to get some time off after the exams, but Mr. Aizawa had instructed the class to show up today.

"Ah, Midoriya!" He looked over to see his friend Tenya Iida walking over to him, his right hand raised in greeting.

"Oh, hey Iida! Do you have any idea why Mr. Aizawa wanted us here today? It seems a little unusual, even for him."

Iida was as straight-laced as usual, his body completely erect as he placed his hand to his chin in thought.

"Indeed, I was wondering that myself. Since all of the exams for the term are completed, it would be reasonable to allow us students a few days to recuperate. It's all very odd. However," Iida turned towards the rest of the room, gesturing in the direction with pointed hands. "There's something even odder."

Midoriya followed Iida's gaze, and looked on a tiny detail he hadn't noticed before.

"Huh? Where is everyone??"

Iida crossed his arms. "My thoughts exactly. We were called here, yet only a few of us are present with 10 minutes until the first bell! It's utterly disgraceful for our class to display such behavior!"

Midoriya couldn't help but chuckle at his friends exaggerated parental action, and looking around the room, he had never noticed how large the classroom actually was without the bulk of the class. Aside from himself and Iida, Midoriya counted Tokoyami, Todoroki, Sero, Kirishima, Kaminari, Aoyama, Yaoyorozu, and...

"Kacchan?!" He saw his explosive classmate sitting in his usual seat next to Kirishima. He turned towards Midoriya at the sound of his exclamation. He was clearly ticked off, and looking beat, no less.

A wave of concern washed over Midoriya's face as he addressed his childhood friend. "H-hey Kacchan, I'm glad to s-see your out of the infirmary, although frankly after our battle with All Might and how badly you strained your body I-I'm surprised to see you in class at all but at l-least-"

Bakugou grimaced, a pissed-off look in his eye. "Shut up, nerd." He growled at the meek Midoriya, who was frozen mid-mutter, and quickly shielded his mouth with his hands, petrified of provoking him further.

Iida shook his head in disapproval. "I suppose his pride is still somewhat damaged after the two of you passed the final exam. Still though, some gratitude won't kill him."

Thinking back to their shared past, Midoriya seriously doubted that was the case. The rest of the class took the initiative to break the tension and greet Midoriya.

"Yo, Midoriya!" Kirishima waved with a sharp toothed smile. "We were just discussing what's so important that Mr. Aizawa called us here on our day off! You don't know anything, do you?"

"We guessed that it likely had to do with the trip to the training camp in some way, but we can't figure out how." Yaoyorozu added.

Midoriya shrugged. "W-well you got me. I figured we'd at least get some time to rest."

The others nodded their heads in agreement when two girls hurriedly burst through the door.

"Oh thank goodness, we made it!" Ochaco Uraraka paused to catch her breath, accompanied my Mina Ashido. "Hey Deku! Iida! I'm sooo happy we made it before the first bell! I'm really not used to coming to school on a weekend!"

Ashido chimed in, shaking her arms in frustration. "Seriously! I was really looking forward to some rest after the exam and shopping for training camp!"

While the others attempted to console Ashido, Midoriya took the opportunity to talk to his Zero-Gravity friend.

" 'Morning, Uraraka! I never got to congratulate you on passing the final yesterday! Your battle training with Gunhead really paid off, huh?"

The girls pink cheeks slowly darkened into a deep scarlet as she thought back to Aoyama's assumptions yesterday. She had been so flustered she had avoided him the rest of the day. She felt so embarrassed for her behavior, but she couldn't think of what to say to him.

Is it because...you like him?

"Uh, Uraraka? Are you feeling alright? Your face...it's really red."

She jolted back to her senses, putting her hands up defensively. "O-oh, yeah Deku, I'm fine. Still catching my breath is all. Sooo, any idea what class today is all about? You don't think it's anything super serious, do you??"

Before Midoriya could answer, their homeroom teacher lumbered into the classroom. "What are you all doing crowded around the doorway? You should be in your seats."

The class (or the parts that were present) knew better than to question Mister Aizawa, and promptly took their seats, which oddly spaced some of them out due to the absence of some of their peers.

Aizawa took his place at the front of the room, sighing before applying eye drops to his reddened eyes and rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Everyone move to the front desks accordingly, I'm not in the mood to project all the way across the room today."

The students cautiously followed suit.

"I know today isn't a typical school day, but that's no excuse to not follow the rules. I'm sure you're all wondering why you're all here...yes, Uraraka?"

She had raised her hand. "Mr. Aizawa...shouldn't we wait for the rest of the class before we start?"

"Time is precious. Besides, there's no need. The 12 of you are the only ones in the class that were instructed to be here."

The class raised their eyebrows at that.

"Unfortunately, although the school had planned for the trip to the training camp to take place the week after the finals were completed, they have been put on hold for a little while."

Some of the class definitely reacted to that.

"Are you serious?!"

"But...we worked so hard!"

"I know I failed, but I totally deserve to gooo!"

Aizawa glared at them with glowing red eyes, prompting the students to shut their mouths.

"I understand you're all either upset or confused. You'll have a better understanding of the situation after the assembly. We're expected to be there in 15 minutes, so let's get a move on. Leave your stuff here, you can come back for it before you go home."

An assembly? Now that was strange. Class 1-A hadn't really been a part of those, unless you counted the beginning of the entrance exam. Midoriya was certain that questions were also floating in everyones minds.

Of course Iida was the first to raise his hand. "Mr. Aizawa! Could you tell us what the nature of this meeting will be?"

Mr. Aizawa sighed impatiently. Now that the Erasure Hero had recovered, it reminded everyone that no one really missed his cold disposition. "All of the questions I'm sure you all have will be answered by Principle Nezu and the other staff members. Now hurry it up, you're wasting time."

The principle? Other staff members? What was this about? He hoped it had nothing to do with the League of Villains. He wondered if All Might would be there. He really hoped it was nothing serious...

"Uh, Deku? You're doing that muttering-thing again." Uraraka was standing over Midoriya's desk, a puzzled look on her face. "We need to get going, or Mr. Aizawa's gonna get mad!"

He hadn't realized he was muttering out loud. He reminded himself to be more conscientious of that.

"Ah! Uh, right! S-sorry Uraraka!"

Midoriya quickly followed his classmates across campus to the auditorium, where he noticed that 3 students from Class 1-B, Itsuka Kendo, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu and Ibara Shiozaki were already being led inside by Blood King, their homeroom teacher. Further ahead in the line, Kirishima waved down his Class 1-B rival.

"Hey! Tetsutetsu! How's it hanging man?"

Tetsutetsu smirked at Kirishima. "What's up? Itchin' for a rematch as much as I am, Kirishima?"

Smirking back, Kirishima jabbed at his friends shoulder. "Ha! It'll be your funeral, Metalhead! Seriously though, you know what this is all about?"

"Funny, I was gonna ask you the same thing. Guess they're keeping us all in the dark. You don't think it's about the League of Villains, do ya?"

Bakugou, who was just ahead, grit his teeth and growled behind him. "Shut up, idiots. If any more of those weaklings try to mess with us again it'll be their last mistake. I'll kill every last one of those jerks!" Bakugou was wearing his infamous bloodthirsty grin, no doubt fantasizing how he would deliver brutal justice to Hand-Face and and Smokey. It was interrupted when he heard Tetsutetsu behind him.

"Jeez, is this jerk always this disturbed? Maybe he can scare away the villains with that face of his."

"WHAT'D YOU SAY, BASTARD!?" Bakugou did a full 360 towards Tetsutetsu, the popping of small explosions in his hands. It wasn't the best insult, but it pissed off Bakugou all the same. Kirishima activated his quirk as he struggled to keep the two separated.

"Hey!"

The three students turned to Mr. Aizawa, whose eyes shone red on the three knuckleheads. "Are we going to have a problem here? The three of you are giving me a migraine."

Tetsutetsu and Bakugou reluctantly backed off, refusing to stop glaring at one another. Kirishima was understandably defensive. "The THREE of us? Mr. Aizawa, I was trying to stop these guys-"

"Kirishima." Mr. Aizawa turned back and glared. "Perhaps you didn't hear me the first time. Stay in line and keep your egos out of the auditorium today, I'd hate to have to hold the THREE of you back by giving you detention. Now get back inside."

"Oooooh" Kaminari, Sero, and Ashido chimed in unison, embarrassing Kirishima and totally pissing off Tetsutetsu and Bakugou, proceeding inside the auditorium with the rest of their classes.

Once Class 1-A/1-B took their seats, Midoriya took a good look around. The auditorium wasn't any different from any other school auditorium, in fact it was the same one they met at for the entrance exam months ago. He turned his attention to the stage. Not only were the principal and their respective homeroom teachers there, but All Might, Thirteen, Midnight, and even Ectoplasm were standing on stage, at least as well as he could on his prosthetic legs. Whatever this was about, it must really be that serious if so much of the staff is here. It was then Midoriya focused his attention on their seats, and spotted a couple of familiar faces.

"Isn't that Hatsume? And the brain-washing guy you fought in the festival?" Uraraka asked.

Yeah, it was. Mei Hatsume from the Support Course and Hitoshi Shinso from General Studies. What are they doing here? Midoriya wondered. Now that he thought about it, it was strange that only three students from 1-B were here as well, and not the whole class. His eyes widened.

"Guys! I just realized something..."

Iida and Uraraka turned to Midoriya. "Hm? What is it, Midoriya?" Iida asked.

Midoriya looked at his friends. "I think I just realized why some our classmates aren't here. It might be because just about everyone here was in the top 16 finals of the Sports Festival!"

The two companions looked at their peers. Uraraka responded first. "Hey, yeah you're right! Weird..."

Iida added. "But that doesn't answer why we're having this assembly, and why the 16 finalists? Not to mention that Kendo is here as well, who didn't make it to the finals. There must be something we're missing here..."

As they approached their seats, Shinso noticed Midoriya walking down with the rest of the students. He smirked, and Midoriya responded with a nod. He nodded back. At least the two were, as far as Midoriya could interpret, on good terms.

After taking their seats, Midoriya snapped out of his thoughts when Principal Nezu called everyones attention, and the small mammal spoke up to the students.

"Good morning, students! I hope some of you were able to get some rest after the Final Exams, and I believe congratulations are in order for those of you that passed!" Kaminari and Ashido in particular shuddered at that statement, still haunted by the frightening battle their dimunitive principal put up. "Yes, yes, it really was something impressive, and in light of that, I have a special announcement to make!"

An announcement? The students murmured amongst themselves, raising even more questions now. The principal appeared to revel in the atmosphere of the room before he hushed the teens.

"As a matter of fact, I'll have our special guest make the announcement for me! He is the headmaster of the Marvel Academy of Gifted Youngsters, and he's traveled a long way to meet all of you. Please give a warm welcome to Professor Charles Xavier!"

If Midoriya's eyes could get any wider, someone might consider it a quirk. Charles Xavier?! Students around him began to react excitedly. The principal wasn't serious? Was he? Midoriya's questions were almost immediately answered by a distinct British accent.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen."

Midoriya thought he was going to squeal as the elderly gentleman gently rolled across the stage on his wheelchair until he stopped next to principal Nezu. There was no mistaking that bald head, "This is THE Charles Xavier!"

Uraraka seemed slightly confused. She was sure she had heard the name before, and she was slightly embarrassed that she couldn't place it, since so many of her peers were absolutely glowing at this mans presence. She turned and whispered to Deku, "Um, I'm sorry but...who's Charles Xavier?"

Midoriya thought he was going to fall out of his seat. He could understand why she wouldn't have heard of him, Japanese news channels typically pulled focus towards domestic heroes, rather than foreign ones. Still, he couldn't contain his surprise. "You've never heard of Charles Xavier?!"

Midoriya was slightly louder than Uraraka, if only due to his shock, so a few ears from their classmates heard Midoriya's hushed exclamation and glanced over, but lost interest and turned their attention back to the stage.

Midoriya began to explain to Uraraka. "Charles Xavier was a hero from the first generation of quirk-users! Back then he formed the legendary team the X-Men in America! Not to mention he's the world's strongest telepath!"

Midoriya's cheeks turned beet red as he looked upon the legend. "He's also the founder and headmaster of the Marvel Academy for Gifted Youngsters, the best hero school in the Western World!"

Uraraka's eyes lit up with recognition. She had heard of the school before, which is probably where she heard the professor's name. "Oh yeah! Didn't that school train the current members of the Avenger's?"

Iida decided to join in too. "Indeed, everyone from the Iron Man to Captain America has trained there, it is quite an impressive institution! It has trained some of earths mightiest heroes, unlike that pompous Captain Celebrity they used to have over there!"

Uraraka looked back down at the man in the chair. He seemed so kind and unassuming, you'd have no idea how powerful and important he really was. "I'm pretty impressed that he can speak Japanese so fluently. If I hadn't known better I wouldn't have pegged him for a Westerner right away."

Midoriya beamed, holding a finger up matter-of-factly. "It's his quirk! His mind is so strong that he can use it to instantly translate speech! He isn't actually speaking Japanese but in our minds we can understand him perfectly!"

(Present Mic's voice-over)

Charles Xavier! His Quirk: Mind Reach!

He's an über-powerful telepath that can read minds, freeze people, and temporarily shut down the brains of any weak-willed and troublesome villains, but his power is limited depending on his distance from others! He may be retired, but he's one golden oldie you won't want to play mind games with!

Uraraka continued to look on, more impressed than before. "I wonder what he's doing here?"

Iida turned back to the stage. "I suppose we're going to find out." Midoriya and Uraraka followed suit.

Professor Xavier began to speak. "Thank you, Principal Nezu for that lovely introduction, and I thank you, students of Yuuei High for your kind welcome, and your kind words regarding my former career."

Midoriya's eyes widened, since that remark seemed to be directed towards him. Had he heard his thoughts as they were being translated into spoken word to Uraraka? And he did so while addressing us? He really was a powerful telepath! Then, as the proverbial cherry on top, the professor seemed to wink knowingly at him! Midoriya thought he was going to have a heart attack! Maybe he could get All Might to introduce him...

"As Principal Nezu stated, I am the current headmaster of the Marvel Academy for Gifted Youngsters, a school not unlike your Yuuei that teaches young men and women how to use their quirks safely and even become a part of the next generation of great heroes."

The professor wheeled a couple feet across the stage and scanned the room. "Admittedly, given my own responsibilities, I have been unable to visit Yuuei for a great many years, but I knew that I must meet Japan's newest rising stars after witnessing your Sports Festival on television."

He watched the Sports Festival? Is that why he's here? It couldn't be for scouting, it wouldn't make sense for Yuuei to voluntarily give up any of its student body to a foreign school, and he wouldn't have come all this way just to say congratulations. What, then?

Most likely reading Midoriya's mind again, Professor Xavier seemed to respond once more as he continued. "However, I did not come all this way to your lovely country simply to give you my congratulations on your hard work. In truth, I came here with a proposition."

Professor Xavier smiled at the students, who were exchanging glances at one another in response to his words. He could hear all the questions reverberating in their heads simultaneously. "Myself, and several other faculty members at MA were fascinated by the concept of your Sports Festival. You see, this is the first time our school has really studied it, and we have never had any events of a similar nature in our own country."

The professor paused a moment and turned to Principal Nezu, and the heroes standing with him, who all looked back with enthusiasm, except for Aizawa of course. "You see, we at the Marvel Academy have decided to hold a similar tournament for our own school..."

The students seemed to collectively hang on the edges of their seats, waiting for the big mic drop.

"...and after much deliberation with your teachers, we have all decided that Yuuei will participate as well!"

There it was. The big reveal. And boy, did it sell. Looking around, Midoriya could see his peers beaming with excitement at this prospect, and there was no surprise why. This wasn't quite like the Sports Festival at Yuuei. If the professor was correct, they would be competing with another school, from America no less! A school that rivaled Yuuei in prestige and skill! It was a once in an lifetime opportunity, since no other two countries had collaborated in this way before.

This time, it was All Might's turn to join in the excitement, his jovial laughter echoing the atmosphere of the room. "HA HA HA! Yes! This will be the worlds first international school versus school tournament! Present with us are the 16 finalists of the festival, and it is you that have been chosen to represent Yuuei High! Within the next week, We will be flying you and a couple of chaperones to the United States to compete and make hero history!"

All Might sure knew how to work a crowd, the students were practically hollering with excitement now, then Mr. Aizawa decided to step in to cover the rest of the needed information.

"Settle down. All Might is correct, this is a good opportunity to test your own skills against those of a foreign country, and an expanded perspective on the international hero community can be beneficial to your career as pros in the future...yes, Kendo?"

Itsuka Kendo from Class 1-B was the one to speak up this time. "Pardon me sir, if the top 16 students from the festival were chosen for this, then why am I here? I didn't make it past the cavalry battle."

That's right, Midoriya thought. Kendo had the opportunity to move on to the finals back at the festival, but relinquished her spot to Tetsutetsu.

"Because the tournament is between two schools, it has been decided that following the normal bracket model wouldn't make sense. After all, you won't be fighting each other in this case. Therefore an odd number of students from each school was required in order to prevent a draw, and since technically your team was next up for the finals after the cavalry battle, you were nominated to be added to the roster."

"O-oh! Thank you very much, sir!" Kendo thanked Aizawa before sitting back down, a smile on her face for having been considered for this event.

"Normally, if we had the time, all of classes 1-A and 1-B would be included. However, due to the short amount of time this was organized, it makes more sense to keep the total number of students involved to a minimum. This will also mean that unlike the Sports Festival, this tournament will not be televised. And since 1 student from both Hero Support and General Studies made it to the finals, to keep things fair MA will be including 1 student from each of their respective courses as well."

Midoriya placed his hand on his chin. It made sense, since MA clearly wanted to do things differently that Yuuei, of course they would want to find a way to incorporate the courses in a unique manner as well, even if it was another tournament like the Sports Festival finals. Not to mention since there's about 20 students to a class in the hero course, the tournament would likely be too exhaustive of an effort right now.

Mr. Aizawa spoke up once more. "This will be a no-holds-barred tournament, so all costumes and equipment you carry with you is allowed. Professor Xavier was kind enough to offer living arrangements and training facilities since a portion of the student body is on summer vacation."

"Eeeee! We can wear our costumes, how cool!"

"We can use equipment, too?"

"Très magnifique!"

"Will we get to see Avengers Tower??"

"This tournament really is serious.."

"Are we going to die?"

Everyone was buzzing at this sudden liberation of the standard rules, with some overexcited and others worried that the matches could easily get out of hand.

"One more thing...All Might, Blood King, and myself will be accompanying you as your chaperones, while Thirteen, Midnight, and Ectoplasm have volunteered to act as substitutes here. I expect all of you to behave accordingly. This is a huge opportunity for everyone, so don't screw it up. That is all, everyone file outside in an ORDERLY FASHION. I'm talking to YOU, Kirishima. You have the a week to gather everything you need, and by next Saturday morning I expect all of you to join us at the airport and be ready to go."

Kirishima was definitely moping on the way back to class. "Honestly, I just feel so attacked by Mr Aizawa."

Tetsutetsu laughed all the way back, which definitely frustrated Kirishima more.

"Congratulations on being chosen for the tournament!" Yaoyorozu said to Kendo as they walked together. "I'm sure you're excited to get another chance to see some action!"

Kendo pumped her fists in the air excitedly. "Well, it's not like I got to see much action at my internship," Yaoyorozu rolled her eyes at the mention of their internship doing photoshoots with Uwabami. "But now's my chance to finally show people what I can really do! And here I thought I'd have to wait to get my second chance at next years festival!"

Midoriya walked with Uraraka and Iida of course, with the rest of their classmates peppered around them. Sometimes, they really couldn't listen to Mr. Aizawa's instruction. Uraraka couldn't contain her excitement. "Can you believe it, Deku? We're going to America! I wonder what it's like? I wonder if it's anything like the rom-coms I've seen?"

A sudden sparkle blinded them before Midoriya could respond, as Aoyama shot forth in an odd pose. "Such a city shines and twinkles just as bright as I do, but I doubt any of the students there can!" he declared with regal glee.

"You're right about one thing, there's no one quite like you, Aoyama." Ashido joked.

Iida took a more realistic approach. "I couldn't say for sure, but I imagine that the MA campus is just as prestigious as Yuuei's! What do you think, Midoriya?"

"O-oh!" Midoriya was honestly too enamored with having been within close proximity with Charles Xavier; he was disappointed he didn't get a chance to meet him. "W-well I'm just excited to see the pro heroes that work there, you know? I heard that Captain America and Wolverine are teachers there!"

"W-Wolverine!?"

Midoriya looked over to see Kaminari chattering his teeth, the slight spark of static rattling off them. "M-man I don't know if I ever want to run into him, have you heard of how brutal he is?! Those claws are insane!"

Ashido, who happened to be walking behind Kaminari, smirked as she bent down to talk directly in his ear. "Well, I'm pretty sure he retired, but I've heard that his daughter's enrolled in the hero course! You're not scared of going up against her, are you Kaminari?" She poked him in the back mimicking the famous heroes claws, and he rocketed up in the air with a yelp, prompting a laugh from the rest of the class. Even Todoroki managed a chuckle.

Kirishima then turned to Bakugou. "What do you think, Mister First-Place Winner? You already know you're probably going to go up against some strong quirks, you excited or what?"

Bakugou sneered at Kirishima, he hated thinking about the festival. Everyone was looking at Bakugou now, and while he didn't really want to be a part of the group discussion, he balled his dominant hand into a fist and a dangerous grin crept on his face. "I just hope these Marvel chumps actually give me a challenge...this East versus West tournament will be so much sweeter when I crush them like the bugs they are!" Bakugou shot a look to Todoroki.

Everyone sighed, since no one was really surprised at Bakugou's answer. "I'm sure they ALL have impressive quirks." Todoroki said, ignoring Bakugou's hostility.

"Honestly, couldn't you show even a slight hint of restraint?" Tokoyami remarked disapprovingly.

"The East versus West Tournament, huh? That's a pretty good name." Uraraka thought aloud.

Midoriya couldn't help but get pumped by everyones determination, even Kacchan's. Midoriya looked to the sky as he thought ahead to the days to come. With a determined look exchanged to his friends, they continued to the classroom, eager to prepare. The East versus West Tournament was on the horizon!

This was the first chapter in the BNHA x Marvel crossover! Don't worry, more familiar faces from the comic world will be making an appearance very soon! Excluding certain students sucks, but the majority of the story shouldn't focus on one on one matches between 20 students, and I wanted to include Class 1-B as well, not to mention the new characters! Don't want to get too crowded! I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and are looking forward to more!

Is there anything you are looking forward to or want to see in the future? Let me know in the comments!
