A/N: This is the rewrite ver of Dandelion's Glory. I decided to keep the title and still have the old version up on ff net as a keepsake. I kinda like the old one, but I think it needs an update cuz of how I wrote the plot. There aren't much changes in chapter one, but I did change quite a few. I would like to change a few things in the story so it'll make more sense to be honest. The changes start at chapter 2!

Feel free to spot the difference from this new version with the older one.

Chapter 1
City of Heroes

"Kamui Woods have just arrived!"

"—broadcasting live from Musutafu!"

"Rescue teams and the police have been dispatched to help with the evacuation—"

"This just in, All Might—!"

The crowd of people seemed to grow in number at the sight of the Number One Hero.

"—There seemed to be quite a ruckus there."

"Yup." The receiver of the call simply replied. She stood on her toes, trying to look past the sea of people to get a better view of the situation. It was no use since she kept on getting pushed further back when the crowd began to increase. "Apparently, a bunch of thugs thought it was a good idea to rob a bank and hold everyone inside as hostages." she squinted her eyes as she caught a glimpse of a tall muscular blond.

It had been a fairly calm afternoon.

At least—until she heard a commotion from down the street.

"I see… and what's the situation now?" the caller asked.

"Uh—hang on!" The girl grunted when she had to squeeze her way into the crowd to get a better view. She arrived at the very front, right before a police officer. "WOW! That was quick!" she whistled in amazement when she spotted the villains were already apprehended by Kamui's wood technique.

The five villains were in the middle of the street—tied down by the pro Hero's quirk. Behind the five villains were the two pro Heroes that saved the day, All Might and Kamui Woods. Reporters and photographers—along with fans alike, circled the heroes. The noise of cameras clicking and the reporters' endless questions were all that could be heard. Even though there was a distance between where the girl was standing, she could feel herself getting blinded by the bright flashes of the cameras.

"Geez, it's still bright out and they're using flash?" the girl complained as she blocked the lights with her free hand. She backed away from the front line, deciding that there was nothing more to see. It was even a struggle to get out of the scene. She sighed out in relief when she finally managed to step out from the sea of people. "Well, some people are rude." She muttered, glaring at the person behind her who shoved her out of the way.

The man ignored her as he kept filming with his phone.

"Hikari, focus. The situation?" The caller reminded.

"Oh, yeah, yeah, it's all good. The heroes were able to stop the bad guys before I could even step in." The girl—Hikari answered as she glanced over her shoulder. She heard a snort coming from the person next to her and at lightning-speed she turned her head to look at the man—shooting him a glare.

"You? Step in? What can you do? You're just a kid." The man scoffed at her before continuing on his way to the crowd gathering around All Might and Kamui Woods.

The brunette gave him one of the sourest looks she could muster.

The caller seemed to hear the jeers. "Don't listen to him."

"I know, I know." Hikari grumbled, a hand on her hip. She walked away further from the crowd as it was getting harder and harder to listen to her friend. "What was it that you wanted to talk about again?" she asked, going back to the topic before the robbery occurred.

"It's too long to be discussed over the phone. Once you're done, come back to Radiant Garden. There's something that I want to talk to you about."

Even though the caller couldn't see it, Hikari gave a two-finger salute. "Aye, aye, cap!"

With that, the conversation ended.

Hikari stared at the screen of her phone. "Ah–" before she could even put her phone away, a boy bumped into her, making her drop the device in her hand from the sudden impact. She held him steady and took a step back to keep them both from falling.

"I–I'm sorry!" The boy immediately apologized.

The brunette glanced over her shoulder. "Watch where you're going!" She shouted at the man walking away. Despite the fact that the boy was the one who bumped into her and made her drop her phone, she was more angry towards the man who shoved the boy away. "Honestly! What's with everyone today?" she huffed out.

"Uh—umm!"

"Oh, sorry!" Hikari retracted her hands from the boy's shoulders.

"I'm–I'm sorry about your phone!" The green-haired boy stuttered out as he quickly bent down to pick up the girl's phone. He seemed to cringe when he saw that the screen was cracked. He stood up abruptly and gave the stranger a deep bow. "I'm sorry! I'll pay for the repairs!" he apologized a few times, keeping his head low as he held the phone out for the girl to take.

Hikari couldn't help but smile at the boy's earnesty. "It's okay, don't worry about it." she took her phone back, waving the boy's apologies off. She grinned when the boy began to overreact–insisting that it was his fault and he was willing to pay for the damage. "It's fine! Really! It wasn't your fault. Besides, the one who should apologize is him." she reassured the boy before casting a small glare at the man inside the crowd behind them.

"But–but!"

The brunette held her hand out, stopping the boy from stuttering further. "I already said that it's okay." she shoved her phone inside her coat's pocket without even looking at the damage. It was almost the end of March and the weather was still too cold for her. "I can always ask my friend to fix it for me." she reassured.

The boy looked down, "But it looks expensive–"

Hikari snorted. Expensive? She wasn't even sure if it was expensive or not. She got it directly from Ienzo and she had broken a lot of it due to her either being reckless or it was destroyed from a Heartless attack. This would be her fifth one this year, and it was just March.

"No worries! I'm sure your reason for coming here is to look over there, right?" Hikari jabbed her thumb over her shoulder, referring to the scene of the two pro Heroes. The boy's cheeks seemed to fluster red, ducking his head low when she laughed at her correct guess. "Welp! I don't want to keep you here any longer. So, go on ahead."

"Ummm…."

Deciding that the boy would hesitate to leave first, she began to walk away.

"Well, see ya!" Hikari waved her hand goodbye, walking further away from the district. She heard another apology from the boy and she raised her hand at him as she walked.

She shoved her hands back inside her pockets as the cold breeze blew. She raised her shoulders, burying her nose and mouth inside her red scarf. Despite visiting worlds that were colder compared to this world, she still dislikes the cold atmosphere. Her hand grabbed her phone and her thumb brushed over the screen, feeling the cracks with her thumb.

'Guess I should go back and see what Ienzo wants. There's nothing more for me to do here anyway.' The brunette thought as she made her way towards an alley. She glanced left and right, making sure no one was around to see her travel to another world.

Once the coast was clear, she pulled out a star-shaped object, pointing it straight to the skies. It was more convenient to travel with the Star Shard than using the Gummi ship when traveling alone. Though it was convenient, it was a bit more risky. Unlike the Gummi ship that has a cloaking feature, the Star Shard was more flashy. She was lucky that everyone's attention was on the Number One Hero, otherwise they would've noticed the bright light shooting upwards from the ground.

Despite the flashes from cameras, All Might noticed the light shooting upwards from a distance. Before he could even chase after the light–it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The mysterious light

-Radiant Garden-

"Oh! You're back, kupo!"

"Hey, Mog." Hikari greeted the Moogle as she took off her coat and scarf. Compared to the weather in the previous world, Radiant Garden was a lot warmer. The coat and scarf was enough to make her sweat the moment she arrived in the world. She draped the winter clothes over her arm as she approached the store.

"You seem to be very busy these days, Kupo!" Mog chirped. He noticed Hikari has been going back and forth from Radiant Garden to some unknown world. Sure, the young keyblade wielder will often do that, but it has been quite frequent during the past week. "I kinda miss having the munny spender around!" He giggled behind his hands.

The brunette's left eye twitched. "Same as always…" she sighed, a small smile across her lips. "Anyway, I have to go now. Gotta see what Ienzo wants." She said, waving her right hand goodbye.

Mog waved back. "Be sure to stop by before you leave! I have some new items, Kupo!"

Hikari continued to head towards the castle. Hollow Bastion, now named Radiant Garden, was slowly going back to its former state. Various renovations have been done throughout the town and it looked more bright and lively than a year ago.

Despite finally finishing her journey, she chose to stay behind in Radiant Garden instead of returning to Destiny Islands. She often pays a visit to her homeworld to spend time with her family and friends, but she mostly spends her time helping the restoration committee. She wanted to help rebuild the world -a promise she made to everyone in the RGRC, previously named HBRC.

She wanted to see Radiant Garden flourish into the beautiful world she had seen years ago. Kairi's homeworld.

"Hey, Ienzo!" Hikari greeted when she spotted the young man inside the study room. She wasted no time in reaching the room Ienzo was always in. The castle was rather empty since the RGRC prefered to work inside Merlin's House–herself included. She did pass by Dilan and Aeleus by the main door, but including Ienzo, the castle's residents were only 5 people.

"Greetings, Hikari." Ienzo returned the greeting with a simple nod, jogging the papers on the table to align them. He placed the papers neatly on the desk before taking another handful of documents. "That was quick of you to return." he said as his eyes scanned over the information written on the paper.

"Yeah... It was getting too cold there." The brunette rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly as she placed the coat and scarf on the table, careful not to place it above any important documents.

Ienzo raised an eyebrow. "You went through a blizzard and survived. Now, you're saying a little cold is bothering you? I doubt the City of Heroes is that cold compared to Arendelle." the corner of his lips twitched up to a playful smirk.

The City of Heroes is the world that both Ienzo and Hikari came up with based on the world's unique characteristics. Hikari discovered it by accident when the Star Shard began to act up on its own for the first time in a while. Since then, Ienzo has been interested in the world and wanted to do more research about it. Though Hikari suggested that he should visit the world if he's that curious, Ienzo declined–saying that he had enough of world-traveling for a while.

And that's how Hikari became Ienzo's informant, his source of information other than Tron.

Hikari placed her hand over her chest as she gave him an offended look. "Well, excussssse me for being born and raised on a tropical island." she retorted back, dragging out the s.

Luckily, The City of Heroes hasn't been connected–meaning that it's safe from the Heartless. Meaning–the keyblade wasn't actually needed. For the time being, Hikari was only doing recon. She once wanted to step in because a villain went too far, but luckily a hero was nearby and quickly intervened to prevent any more damage. It was as if the keyblade wielder wasn't needed to protect the world with all of the heroes around.

She found it amazing actually.

The world itself seemed to come out of a comic book.

To be born with powers–quirks to do good.

Though, some part of the society seemed to misuse it.

Whenever there's heroes, there's always the opposite.

The villains.

There wasn't much Hikari could collect about the villains–other than doing bad deeds and causing trouble for the heroes. Mostly, the keyblade wielder does recon to collect information about heroes and quirks, and of course about the world's system. It was easy to collect the information since there was a lot of news about them and their abilities–along with their achievements.

Ienzo smirked. "Excuses, excuses."

The brunette clicked her tongue. "Whatever." she dismissed the older teen, a pout on her face when he chuckled. A grin made its way up to her lips when she grabbed her phone. The young man wouldn't be laughing at her anymore when he saw the state the phone was in. "By the way, can you fix up my phone again? The screen cracked." she waved the phone teasingly.

Just as Hikari predicted, Ienzo stopped in his tracks–staring at her with a deadpan look.

"Again?" Ienzo said in disbelief. "This is the fifth time." he pinched the bridge of his nose. He wanted to scold the girl for breaking her phone again, but due to the line of work she's doing, he can't actually blame her.

Hikari shrugged. "It's not my fault this time. A guy bumped into me and my phone fell." she defended, tossing the phone over to the young man who caught it with ease.

It was one of the most useful technologies she ever has. It wasn't any ordinary phone. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary phone with a really weird case, but it was far more than that. While other phones could make international calls with a large cost—this phone could make calls from a different world that is free of charge. It was faster for her to tell information through them rather than going back and forth using the Star Shard. It saved her a lot of time.

Ienzo sighed as he checked the damage. "This shouldn't be hard to fix since it's just the screen." he said as he motioned his hand for Hikari to follow him into the computer room.

"So, what do you want to talk about anyway?" Hikari asked as she followed him into the secret room behind the wall. She had almost forgotten about the conversation Ienzo wanted to have with her. Their boots clicked against the floor, footsteps echoing in the spacious room. There was a long makeshift desk near the computer. It was filled with tools and papers.

Ienzo went over to the table, taking a few tools out. "There's something that I found about the City of Heroes. Take a look." he pointed his finger over to the computer and Hikari did as told. When she was in front of the computer, the screen lit up and showed a few scans of a hand written article.

"Wait a minute…" Hikari squinted her eyes when she noticed the similarity of words in the reports. "These are Ansem–Xehanort's written reports!" she exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes." Ienzo nodded his head, giving a quick glance to the girl. "I found one of it by accident and decided to have Tron check it over for me for something similar to it. Those were all that I could find."

The brunette turned her attention back to the reports, reading them one by one.

Much time has passed, and in the myriad of worlds I have visited, I have gained much knowledge. I have crossed paths with a world with powers or should I say "quirks".

"What!" Hikari shouted, surprise evident in her tone and expression. She continued to read over the reports and a few words caught her attention. The reports were incomplete. On one it was the very first page and the next was jumped over to fifteen. She leaned back as she placed her hand on her chin. "I have a bad feeling about this… Could it be that the rest of the reports are scattered around the City of Heroes?"

One of the sentences that stood out to her the most was on the fifteenth page, the last paragraph. Wielders have no place in this world—

The young man nodded his head. "It's a possibility…" he said as he kept tinkering with the phone.

"So, you want me to find those reports?" Hikari asked, but before Ienzo could answer, she gave him her reply. "Consider it done! You can count on me!" she gave him a thumbs up and a wide grin.

"Actually," Ienzo stopped tinkering with Hikari's phone. He grabbed a folder from the table and walked closer to the girl. He handed the folder to the girl who took it confusedly. His light blue eyes watched as the brunette opened the folder. "I want you to attend high school."

There was a moment of silence between the two of them.

"WHAT?!"

"Are you joking?!"

"You've got to be kidding me!

"I don't want to go back to high school!"

"IENZOO!"

Ienzo ignored Hikari's outbursts as he coughed into his fist. "As an undercover student." he continued and Hikari gave him a dirty look. It was clear that the girl didn't want to return to high school even as an undercover student. "I'll call the school and—"

This was the time Hikari hated the world-wide phone. Ienzo could contact anyone as long as he knew the numbers and codes.

Hikari groaned. "C'mon, Ienzo! I don't wanna learn math or physics again! They're the death of me!" she complained, holding the folder tightly in her hand. Inside the folder was the application form Ienzo had filled out for her. From a brief look, she had read over the outline and noticed that it was a transfer application to one of the schools in the City of Heroes. "And wouldn't it be better if I just look for the reports and not go to school? Managing time between school and work is pretty hard, ya know?"

"Public display of 'quirks' is against the law." Ienzo quoted from one of the reports Hikari had given him. He watched as the girl slumped her shoulders in defeat. "And mind you, math and physics are quite enjoyable."

Hikari scoffed. "Well, for people like you."

Ienzo ignored her. "Regardless of the powers you have, it will be labeled as a quirk to society. You would be taken into custody if you're not careful." he noticed the look across Hikari's face. She was actually listening to his words. "It's best if you enroll in a hero school. You will be given permission to use your powers for heroic activities. There's a provisional hero license, correct?"

"But that's still so long! I can just keep it low—"

Ienzo gave a snort. "Really?"

"—and swipe the reports from under their noses—Hey! What does that supposed to mean?" Hikari frowned deeply at the indirect insult. She gave the young man the stink eye as he continued to chuckle. "Where did you even find this form anyway? Their entrance exam was months ago."

Ienzo smiled. "I have my ways. If you receive the provisional hero license, you will be allowed to use your 'quirk' for heroic activities with recognition from the law." he went over to the table and took the newly repaired phone. He walked towards Hikari and gave the phone back. "All good things come to those who wait." he quoted yet again.

Hikari defeatedly took her phone back, puckering her lower lip out in a frown. "Fine... Guess you're right…"

Ienzo patted Hikari's shoulder. "Think of it this way, at least you're one step closer to being promoted to pro hero instead of being an infinite junior hero," he teased.

The brunette let out a heavy sigh. "You mean a step back further! I'm already a junior hero, and now I'm going back to being a student hero!" she face-palmed.

A soft laugh escaped Ienzo's lips.

Hikari sulked, but she was glad she could at least bring a laugh out of the usually stoic man. She opened the folder and read over her own data, she didn't make it past her own name.

"So…Pfft—Leonhart Hikari?! Ienzo, are you serious?!" The keyblade wielder almost doubled over from laughing too hard.

Ienzo remained calm, though his lips began to curl up into a small smile. "Leon agreed to it actually. You did mistakenly call him 'dad' once." he pointed out.

Hikari stopped laughing and covered her face from embarrassment. "That was one time—one time!" she pressed and Ienzo gave a nod. She continued to read over her own biodata, finding everything was filled out except her quirk. "So, what's my backstory?" she asked.

"I'm glad you asked. You're a transfer student from Okinawa. Your 'dad' decided to move to Musutafu at the last minute because of his job. Other than that, it's up to you." Ienzo explained.

The brunette nodded. "And my quirk?"

"You can write anything. Though, I highly suggest you avoid 'summoning a giant key' as your quirk. We don't know how much Xehanort has influenced the world."

Hikari hummed as she took the pen from Ienzo's hand. "How about Dream Eaters and Flow Motion? But I like using magic too…" she muttered, trying to figure out what to write. Ever since the Mark of Mastery exam, she could summon Dream Eaters from the Realm of Sleep—which was Traverse Town. She was glad that Dream Eaters could exist out of the Realm of Sleep, she liked the company of the colorful animals. "Quirk name… how about Dream?" She turned to look at the young man.

"Interesting. It will definitely catch some attention." Ienzo agreed as he gave a nod. He pulled out his own Gummiphone, dialing a special number. "I'll talk to the principal now. If I can't convince him to let you go to the Hero course program, most likely I can convince him to put you in the General Education course. You'll have to work your way up though." he said as he walked out of the room.

The brunette gave a him half-hearted good luck.

Not ten minutes later, Ienzo came back into the room with a smile on his face. "—I'm sure she'll be glad to hear that. Thank you so much, sir, for this opportunity." The conversation continued for another minute. All the while, Hikari was giving him suspicious looks. Finally, he ended the call.

"Great news! You'll be taking UA's exam next week!"

"HUH?!"

Hikari stared up at the U.A. High School's gates.

"I'm… actually doing this…" The brunette murmured.

It has been a week since she sent her application form and other necessary documents to the school. She knew Ienzo signed her up in one of the hero schools, but never expected him to actually sign her up to one of the top schools in Japan. Two days after she sent the documents, she received an email from the school—saying that they accepted her application and wanted her to do a written and physical exam.

To this day, she still wonders how Ienzo managed to convince the principal to let her participate in the entrance exam, and late at that.

"Hey—you're blocking the way."

Hikari turned around. "Oh, sorry." She said as she took a few steps to the left, allowing room for the student behind her to walk. There was plenty of space for the student to walk, but he decided to stand behind her.

The student let out a sigh, rubbing the back of his neck. "You're not a UA student… What are you doing here?" he asked as he looked at the brunette's uniform. He seemed genuinely curious—despite the dead and tired look in his eyes.

"I'm actually here for an exam." Hikari held up a special pass she received in the mailbox. In about a week, Ienzo had rented a small apartment for her to stay in the world. She didn't know how Ienzo did it, but he did it. It almost seems like he has been planning this since day one. "I'm just stalling until it's time." she laughed nervously.

The boy stared at her long and hard.

"I'm Hikari." Hikari suddenly introduced herself, stretching her hand out for him to shake. She didn't like the silence between them and the boy's dead look made her a bit uncomfortable.

"Nice to meet you." She grinned.

The boy stared at her hand before he slowly grabbed her hand. "Shinsou… Shinsou Hitoshi." He introduced lazily.

Hikari blinked a few times. "Oh, we're using family names too? Uh—okay, Leonhart Hikari—but call me Hikari!" she repeated before pointing a thumb to herself.

"Leonhart? You foreign?" Shinsou remarked, an eyebrow raised.

"Pops is." Hikari replied. It was weird since she has a real dad and yet Leon is her current dad for the undercover. She didn't want to involve her real parents into the mess and Leon agreed to be the pretend dad. "The old man likes to travel. That's how he met ma in Okinawa." She tried to hide a snigger.

If Leon was there beside her, he would've smacked her upside the head.

"You're telling me this, why?" Shinsou asked. The two of them just met less than a minute ago and she was already telling him her parents' sappy love stories.

Hikari shrugged. "You asked me, right? Just thought of giving a better explanation." She shoved her hand inside her pocket when the wind blew past them. "Geez! I hate the cold!" she complained as she hugged herself to keep warm.

"…It's spring." Shinsou pointed out.

"Uh—hello? Islander here, what do you expect?" Hikari retorted before a sneeze escaped her mouth.

The keyblade wielder was wearing her high school uniform—Destiny Island's High School's uniform to be exact. The uniform only consists of a white button up shirt, a checkered blue skirt and a matching blue tie. Since there was a difference in climate, the uniform was different as well. She added an extra sweater and blazer just to keep herself warm.

"Just go inside if you're cold." Shinsou said as he walked past her, his hands inside his pants pockets.

"Oh yeah! Good idea!" Hikari quickly jogged over to catch up with the purple-haired boy.

Shinsou glanced over to the girl beside him. "Why are you following me?" he asked, a little irritated at the fact the girl was following him.

Hikari laughed sheepishly. "I was wondering if you know where the Principal's office is."

A smirk made its way up to the boy's lips. "Well, tough luck, it's my first day here too." he said as he sped up to the doors.

The brunette stood still, staring at the purple-haired boy's back as he stepped inside the building, leaving her behind.

'That… Little Punk!'

"Alright! Put your pencil down, young listener!"

Hikari wanted to throw the pencil away and flip the table if she could.

"Hey girl, how was the test?" The teacher asked with a certain level of excitement, posing as he went over to her desk. He sometimes speaks in English with her and she was glad she could understand him.

The brunette answered with a groan, covering her face with her face as she slumped in her seat. Truthfully, she did terribly. She studied everything with Ienzo and yet, she still felt like she failed the written exam. She wasn't very good with written exams in the first place. She preferred physical exams instead. Chemistry was alright for her, but math and physics? She'll give up the moment her eyes are laid upon them.

"Terrible—" Hikari answered, a bit muffled from her hands. "Mr…Mic." She added for formality.

'At least she's honest, I like honesty!' Present Mic hummed in response as he took her exam paper.

"You did your best, girl! No worries!" Present Mic cheered up the sulking student, giving a thumbs up. "Okay! Now onto the next stage~!" he announced loudly.

Hikari sighed deeply as she gathered all her stationary, shoving them inside her pencil case before putting them away inside her backpack. She didn't bring anything else besides her pencil case and a tracksuit—because apparently, they told her to bring one.

The next stage—was the practical exam.

The brunette was given time to change while Present Mic brought in her exam paper to the Principal to be graded. She honestly lost hope to even enter the UA High after finishing the impossible written exam. Nonetheless, she would still try her best in the practical exam. She didn't want to disappoint Ienzo and make all of his effort to end fruitlessly.

From how talkative Present Mic is, Hikari found out that today was the first day of school and the students got to leave early. They should've finished orientation by the time she finished her written exams. If she is accepted into the UA then she would at least be a few days or a week behind, depending on how fast the results come out.

"Are you ready, girl?!"

Hikari was met face to face with Present Mic when she stepped out of the changing room. She gave a nod and followed the tall man as he guided her through the hallways. The two of them arrived in front of a door and he slammed the door open dramatically.

"Examinee number 4120 is here!" Present Mic announced loudly as he stepped inside the room with Hikari following behind. The door behind them closed automatically with a soft click. "Good luck, girl!"

The keyblade wielder watched as Present Mic waved his hand at her and joined in with his fellow teachers at the balcony. The indoor gym was a lot more spacious than she thought. The gym had a second floor with an overlook of the first floor. It almost looked like a small indoor stadium. It was way larger compared to Destiny Island's gym.

Hikari turned her attention back to the three teachers standing a few feet away from her. A tall bulky man and a curvaceous woman along with a white anthropomorphic mouse were standing in the middle of the gym. There was a friendly aura around them. She almost jumped in shock when she heard the mouse talking after a long moment of silence inside the gym.

"Am I a mouse? A dog? A bear? My real identity is… the principal!" The white mouse said happily, a smile on his face.

The brunette immediately bowed her head. "Thank you for taking your time to see me, sir!" the one thing Ienzo always scolded her for, is her lack of manners to those who are older than her. If she found the person easy to talk to, she would actually slip and treat the person older than her as someone who is the same age as her. "Leonhart Hikari. It's a pleasure to meet you!" she said formally.

"There's no need to be so formal, Ms. Leonhart!" The mouse raised his paw, taking a few steps forward. "My name is Principal Nezu and along with the teachers here, we will evaluate your abilities to decide which class you shall be studying in!"

Hikari's eyes averted over to the second floor and a strained smile was seen on her lips. It was almost a full house and she didn't know if she should feel honored or nervous from all the attention she was getting.

As if Principal Nezu can read her mind, "There's no need to be so nervous, Ms. Leonhart." He said, snapping the brunette's attention back to him. "Think of this as a little training! We just want to know how far you can go." he reassured.

"Okay…" Hikari nodded her head, but why does she feel so uneasy about this whole thing? She wasn't the type to get pressured so easily. Maybe it was the calculating gazes the teachers gave her or it could be the milk she drank this morning. The brunette took a deep breath and took a few steps forward, standing closer to the three teachers.

"Before we begin, I would like to interview you a little." Principal Nezu folded his hands behind his back, staring up at the girl with a smile. The girl gave a nod and waited for him to continue. "Please tell us about yourself, Ms. Leonhart."

Hikari blinked. "Ah, well… My name's Leonhart Hikari. I was born and raised in Okinawa. My pops—uh dad is a businessman and my mom's a banker. I have a brother, but he's currently living abroad. I graduated from Bito Junior High School and because of my dad's work we moved to Musutafu." She paused to breathe and examine their expressions. She was clearly making everything up, but she tried her best to make everything seem real. "I always wanted to be a hero since I was little. So, I thought of studying in UA.!" she finished.

Principal Nezu gave a few nods. "What is a hero to you, Ms. Leonhart?"

"Being a hero is more than just muscles and brain. You gotta have heart and care about people to be one. That's what makes you a true hero." Hikari answered, remembering the exact words Phil lectured her when she wanted to participate in the games.

"Very true, Ms. Leonhart!" Principal Nezu smiled before continuing onto the next question. "In your essay, you also said you were a part of a committee? If I may ask, what kind of committee?"

Hikari smiled, thinking back to the restoration committee back in RG. "A restoration committee. There's been a lot of damage from floods since last year, so I decided to volunteer to help rebuild homes and fix properties." It wasn't a lie, but not entirely true either. "There's not much that I can do because of my quirk, but the more the merrier, right?" she raised her hand, grinning from ear to ear.

"That's right!" Present Mic replied loudly from where he sat, pointing his fingers at the girl.

The brunette turned to face him and mimicked his pose. She couldn't resist.

"Which leads us to the final question, what is your quirk?"

Hikari turned to face the Principal. "My quirk… is Dream."

She almost missed the confused looks across the teachers' face.
