Chapter 39

The End Results


On the way to U.A. High, Arisa and Felicia were discussing about the final exams.

"I really hope you, me, and everyone in class passed the final exams. I'd really like all of us to go to the summer training camp, and not the summer school of hell," Arisa was a little worried.

"Don't worry, Arisa. We all passed the practical portion yesterday, and with our help, I'm sure everyone in the study group passed the written portion," Felicia assured her with a grin. "I'm sure we'll all go to the training camp together."

"I hope so, too," Arisa tried to be optimistic.

As they arrived at the school, they greeted Mr. Honzo at the gate as usual. When Felicia and Arisa got to their classroom, they talked with their friends. They were each talking about how they did in the final exam. Some of them looked relaxed and didn't say much, but others seemed very nervous.

Practically everyone explained how their matches went. For Arisa and Junko's match, Arisa explained what she remembered, and Felicia explained the rest. For Kai and Yuki's match, Eli and Usagi explained how the two guys won their match.

Some of them liked with how Tatsumi and Maruto tricked Speed Girl, how Usagi and Miru got past Present Mic, and how Eli and Aku took a chance against Thirteen. Some of them were impressed with how Felicia and Makoto tricked Eraser Head, how Arisa and Junko took on Mr. Honzo, and how Kai and Yuki fought against All Might.

The only match to be told was the one that Akihiko and Haia were in.

"So, Aki and Haia. How did you two pass your practical exam?" Arisa inquired.

"You didn't see it?" Akihiko was confused.

"No, I didn't," Arisa admitted. "My match was after your match. I needed time to get ready so I left the monitor room before your match started."

"Actually, I didn't see your match as well, Aki and Haia," Felicia mentioned. "I was tired after my match so I rested in the waiting room. It's ashame I didn't get to see you two in your match."

"It's okay," Haia simply replied.

"Yeah, we can tell you all how we passed our match," Akihiko said.

Most of the students were interested to know how the two cousins passed their practical exam.

For some reason, Usagi, Eli, and Tatsumi were chuckling, which the others noticed.

"What's so funny?" Arisa was confused.

"Oh, pfff, it's just that," Usagi started, trying to speak.

"Something happened, pfff, during their match," Eli continued.

"But we don't want to, pfff, spoil it for the rest of you," Tatsumi finished.

"Um, okay," Felicia said, sweat-dropping.

"Anyway," Akihiko got things back on track. "It started with Haia and me facing against Power Loader in a rough, rocky environment. He dug underground when the match started, making trap holes right away."

"I told Akihiko to get on my back, and I ran while holding him, making sure to avoid trap holes," Haia spoke.

"Suddenly, Power Loader came out of the ground, right in front of us," Akihiko added. "Right away, Haia threw me over as I jumped over Power Loader, and I ran to the escape gate."

"To stop Power Loader from stopping her, I fought him with my Quirk," Haia mentioned.

"What is your Quirk, Haia?" Miru asked.

"Now that I think about it, I don't think we've seen you and Aki use your Quirks," Makoto realized.

"Blimey, you're right, Makoto," Felicia agreed.

"My Quirk is Sharpen and this is what it lets me do," Haia said.

She demonstrated with her hand. Her fingers extended and turned solid, looking like a sharp sword. Then she turned it back to normal.

Name: Haia Onimaru. Quirk: Sharpen. She can make any parts of her arms and legs as sharp as a sword! She can also make a sharp blade made from her bone and bone marrow, and it will come out of her palm. However, if she does this, it will make her bleed a bit, and if the bone sword is damaged, she will feel extreme pain!

"That's pretty cool," Maruto commented.

"I think so too," Arisa agreed.

"Oh, thank you," Haia responded calmly, then resumed the tale. "I managed to cut a cable to one of Power Loader's metal arms, but he squeezed me hard with his other arm."

"Really?" Miru asked.

"That sounded like it hurt," Makoto stated.

"When I was near the gate, I heard Haia scream in pain and I ran back right away to help her," Akihiko said.

"Why? You were near the gate, and the match would have been over if you went to it," Maruto pointed out.

"I know, but I couldn't let my cousin get hurt by Power Loader, even if he was weaker. After all, a hero is supposed to save anyone, no matter what," Akihiko explained.

"That does make sense," Arisa understood.

"Those are true words to live by," Aku joined in.

"You did the noble thing, Aki," Felicia commented.

"Thanks," Akihiko grinned, then continued the story. "Anyway, I jumped towards Power Loader and Haia. It looked like he was trying to stop me, but he couldn't his left arm for some reason. Probably because of Haia's attack that she mentioned. When I landed in front of Power Loader, I used my Quirk to distract him long enough to handcuff him."

"Okay, but what is your Quirk?" Miru questioned.

"Well, I can't demonstrate it like my cousin did, but I can tell you what it is. My Quirk is Gender Kiss. Whoever I kiss becomes the opposite gender temporarily," Akihiko stated.

Name: Akihiko Aimi. Quirk: Gender Kiss. When Akihiko kisses a person on their physical skin directly, the kissed person's gender changes to their opposite counterpart. The effect lasts for up to 30 minutes, depending on how long she kissed the person, but she can turn the affected person back to their original gender by kissing them again.

"So, when you said you distracted Power Loader, you mean you..." Makoto started to put it together.

"Yeah. I kissed him on the cheek and he turned into a woman. He was so surprised and distracted by the sudden change that I handcuffed him," Akihiko revealed.

When the others thought about what happened to Power Loader, most of the guys chuckled at the idea. While most of the girls giggled at it.

'Seeing Power Loader become a girl would be kind of funny,' Arisa thought.

'Though seeing Power Loader as a lady would be unusual, I have to admit it would be funny,' Felicia thought.

Though for Kai, Usagi, Eli, and Tatsumi, they already knew what happened during Akihiko and Haia's match because they watched it.

The only ones who didn't chuckle or giggle were Kai, Akihiko, Aku, Yuki, Haia, and Junko. Well, Junko was sleeping as usual.

"Zzzzz..." she snored.

Soon enough, the chuckles and giggles stopped as the humor passed for everyone.

"Anyway, I'm glad all of us were able to get pass our teachers or handcuff them," Akihiko said.

"It's sort of surprising that we all passed," Haia commented.

"I'm not that surprised. We worked hard against our teachers, and we all won!" Usagi happily stated.

"She's right! We were awesome!" Eli cheered.

"I think what we really helped us all win was teamwork," Miru thought aloud.

"I think so," Makoto said.

"Yup," Maruto nodded.

"Indeed," Felicia agreed.

"Though we all did well with the practical exam, I just hope the same can be said for the written exam," Arisa pointed out.

That statement immediately got Usagi worried.

"Holy Carrot! I hope I passed my written exam. I know I did well in the practical part, but I am not sure about the written one," Usagi said nervously.

"Don't worry, Usagi. You'll be fine. We did a study group and got help from Felicia and Arisa, right?" Makoto questioned her.

"Uh huh," she nodded in return.

"I admit that the final was tough, both written and practical, but I did learn a lot from it and I know what I need to work on," Tatsumi stated.

"Yeah, I agree, man," Eli nodded.

"Hey, guys! I think our teacher is coming now!" Miru yelled aloud as she opened her eyes, having used her Quirk.

Soon, everyone went back to their seat. Just in time as Speed Girl came rushing in.

"Good morning, my class!" She announced happily.

"Good morning, Miss Speed Girl," everyone responded.

"My, my, you guys look terrific today, and I have some good news!" Speed Girl exclaimed. "All of you ... have passed the final exam! Hurray! You all get a gold star!"

Speed Girl threw confetti everywhere as blew a noisemaker. The entire class looked at her silently with a sweat-drop. Speed Girl noticed this and stopped herself.

"Ah-hem, anyway," she said. "You all have passed the written and final exams. Congratulations! Though I said that, there are a few things I want to comment on. While I did say that all of you have passed the final, not all of you did so well in the practical part of the exam. Few of you have either fainted or were knocked out easily during the matches. For that, you will work extra hard at the summer training camp, and we will make you do so, but the other good news is that none of you will take any extra lessons or anything since you all technically still passed the written part of the exam."

Some of them, especially Usagi and Maruto sighed. They were the most worried about the final exam but glad to hear that everyone passed the written exam. However, Arisa and Tatsumi knew what their teacher talked about when she mentioned working extra hard at the training camp.

"But hey, the most important thing is that you all passed, and I am very proud of every one of you," Speed Girl said. "Well, that is all I have to say, so enjoy your weekend and see you guys next week. Bye!"

Speed Girl quickly rushed out of the classroom as she did when she came in.

"Holy Carrot! We passed the written exam!" Usagi hopped in joy.

"Yeah we did it!" Both Usagi and Maruto jumped in joy.

"See, I told you that you would pass, Usagi," Makoto said happily.

"Well, at least we don't have to worry, and we can all relax for the weekend," Felicia noted before she turned to Arisa. "Hey, Arisa, do you have any plans for the weekend?"

"Now that you mention it, I don't actually," she admitted.

"Oh, that reminds me!" Usagi hopped to the front of the class. "Hey guys, listen! I remember that my friend Hagakure said that some of her friends in Class 1-A are going to the mall tomorrow for a little shopping to prepare for the training camp. She invited us if any of us want to come with her group. Anyone want to join?"

"That sound like a cool idea," Eli said. "I'm in."

"I think I'll join, too," Tatsumi said. "Now that we can leave the final exams behind us."

"I guess I will go, too. I do have some things to buy, like extra batteries for my video games if we are going to stay long at the camp," Maruto admitted.

"You will need more than batteries for the training camp," Miru mumbled.

"I will gladly join," Makoto said.

"I will pass," Aku said.

"Same here," Yuki added.

"I would like to go," Arisa joined.

"Indeed. I will accompany too," Felicia said.

Arisa turned to Kai. "What about you, Kai? Do you want to join, too? It would be fun."

"I guess so. It's not like I have anything else to do tomorrow anyway," Kai said.

"Then, that's decided!" Usagi declared.

Once school was over, Arisa, Felicia, and Yuki got out and were walking home together.

"I'm really glad we all passed the final exam, but I'm worried about having to work extra hard at the summer training camp. Why did I have to pass out from blocking Mr. Honzo's strong attack," Arisa was concerned.

"Don't worry, Arisa. I'm sure it won't be that bad," Felicia tried to cheer her up. "Also, you won't be alone. From what I remember hearing, Tatsumi was knocked out during his practical exam. You'll have him as company."

"Yeah, but I'm scared of what the extra work will do to me. I might end up more tired than the rest of the class," Arisa frowned.

"The point of the summer training camp is to become stronger. Whatever work we go through will help us become better and stronger than we are now. Hard work is worth it to become great Pro Heroes," Yuki stated.

The two girls were silenced by his statement.

"Yes, indeed," Felicia spoke. "Yuki is right, Arisa. The summer training camp will help us to great Pro Heroes, and I think the work will help us do that."

"Well, I guess you're both right," Arisa agreed.

"That was nice some advice you gave, Yuki," Felicia said.

"Advice? I was stating the obvious," he calmly pointed out.

That made both girls sweat-drop.

"Um, thank you for saying that anyway, Yuki," Arisa thanked him.

"It was the right thing to say," Felicia added.

"You're welcome," Yuki replied. "Also, Felicia, there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?" she questioned.

"After school ended, my mother called me to ask about the results of the final exams. I told her everyone passed and she told me that we would be having a celebratory dinner at home. She also told me to invite you over because you are my friend," he explained.

"You're asking me to come over to your house for dinner?" Felicia wanted to be sure.

"Yes. Do you want to come?" Yuki calmly asked.

"Yes, I think that would be nice," she agreed.

"But, Felicia, tomorrow you and I have to meet up with the others at the mall," Arisa pointed out.

"Don't worry, Arisa. I won't be out long, and I'll be back with time to sleep," Felicia assured her, then looked at Yuki. "Speaking of which, are you sure don't want to come to the mall with the rest of the class, Yuki?"

"I'm fine. I already have everything I need for the training camp at home," he responded.

"That does make sense," Arisa understood.

"Indeed," Felicia agreed.


-My Hero Academia-


Later on, Yuki left for his home, leaving the girls to walk by themselves.

'Okay. As soon as I get to my room, I need to shower quickly, put on some nice clothes, and head to Yuki's house. Hopefully dinner will be almost done when I arrive,' Felicia thought.

Meanwhile, Arisa was looking at her friend.

'Felicia agreed kind of quickly to Yuki asking her to go to his house again. I wonder if she does like him,' the heterochromatic girl thought.

"Hey, Felicia," Arisa got her attention.

"Yes, Arisa," the British girl looked at her.

"You know you agreed to Yuki's invite to go to his house for dinner, right?" the heterochromatic girl questioned.

"I did," Felicia remembered.

"Well, to me, it kind of sounds like a date," Arisa pointed out.

Hearing that, the British girl got flustered.

"What?! No, it's nothing like that," she blushed.

"Really?" the heterochromatic girl asked.

"Yes. For one thing, Yuki's family will be there. Also, we're only celebrating about passing the final exams is all," Felicia answered, still blushing. "Please don't make assumptions like that, Arisa."

"Oh, okay. I'm sorry, Felicia," she apologized.

"It's okay. I accept your apology," the British girl calmed down, but looked away from her friend.

'With the way Felicia was acting, I think she does like Yuki, but she refuses to accept it for some reason,' Arisa thought, looking at her friend who was looking elsewhere.

'Why did Arisa have to say it was like a date? I have no romantic interest in Yuki. He and I are just best friends and that's all we will be,' Felicia thought.

Eventually, the exchange students reached the Emerald Shade.

In her room, Felicia took a shower immediately and changed into her usual, casual clothes.

'Okay. Now that I've changed, I should leave for Yuki's house right away. Good thing I remember the way there from the last time I went over,' the British girl thought, looking at herself in the mirror.

She then left her room and headed out of the apartment building.

In her room, Arisa was on her bed, with her pajamas on and reading a book.

'I'm glad tomorrow I'll be spending time with my friends from class and the Class 1-A students. I hope Felicia won't be out too long. Then she'll be tired tomorrow morning. Good thing the meeting time is in the afternoon,' she thought.

Soon, Arisa put down her book as she got tired of reading and a thought came to her mind.

'If both classes are meeting tomorrow, I wonder if Shoto will be there. Actually, if I remember, he uses his days off to go see his mom in the hospital. I'll check to be sure,' the heterochromatic girl thought.

Arisa reached for phone and began texting her childhood friend.

AK: U going to mall tomorrow? I am.

ST: No. Going to see my mom.

AK: OK. Say 'hi' for me.

'So Shoto is going to see his mom. That's good for him. He's really making an effort to talk with her. From what I remember, Shoto told me he writes letters to his mom every now and then to let her know how he is doing. Fuyumi and Natsuo told me it's because the hospital won't let Mrs. Todoroki have a phone. Maybe I should write a letter to her too,' she thought.

Arisa got up from bed, ripped out a blank page from her notebook, and had a pen in hand.

'So, what I should write to her about? I told her about my family when Shoto and I went to go see her in the hospital. I guess I can write about what I've done in Japan so far,' the heterochromatic girl thought as she started writing.


-My Hero Academia-


Meanwhile, Felicia arrived at the Drago household and knocked on the door.

'It'll be nice to see Yuki's mother and siblings again. I'm sure the celebratory dinner will be delightful,' she thought.

The door opened and Felicia saw Yuki was standing at the entrance.

"Good evening, Yuki," she greeted.

"Good evening, Felicia," he greeted back.

Yuki stepped aside as Felicia came in. She took off her shoes and put on some slippers from the shoebox.

"Where's the rest of your family?" the British girl inquired.

"San is taking care of Asa in the living room, and my mother is almost done with dinner," the dragon boy answered.

"That's nice," Felicia commented. "How long until dinner is done?"

"About ten minutes," Yuki replied.

"Good to know. Would it be alright if I greeted them?" she asked.

"That would be OK," he nodded.

They both went down the left hallway, and then they saw San and Asa playing with some stuffed toys in the living room.

"Greetings, San and Asa," Felicia greeted them.

Both Drago siblings looked at the British girl.

"Hello. H-hi. Yo," San's three dragon heads (Ichi, Sanji, and Niji) said respectively to her.

"Hi," the younger sister Asa waved to her.

In the kitchen, they saw Mrs. Drago still cooking dinner, and she turned around to see her son and his friend.

"Hello, Felicia," she greeted.

"Greetings, Mrs. Drago," Felicia replied.

"I'm glad you can make it. Dinner will be ready soon," the mother Drago informed her.

"That's wonderful to hear," the British girl grinned at her, then looked at her friend. "Should we sit down at the table and wait, Yuki?"

"Actually, there is something I would like to show you in my room," he said.

"Really? I guess we can do that now," Felicia responded.

"OK," Yuki calmly responded as he led the way, and she followed him.

They went down the hallway they came out of back to the entrance, go down the hallway on the right, and up the stairs to the second floor.

Yuki pulled the string for the attic door on the ceiling, opening up a stairway. They both go up as Yuki opens the door to his room and turns on the lights.

"What do you want to show me, Yuki?" Felicia asked, entering the room.

"I have to get it," he replied, going to the bookcase next to his bed on the right side of his room.

"OK," she responded, sitting on the couch on the left side of the room.

'I wonder what it is that he wants to show me?' Felicia thought, seeing Yuki get a notebook from his bookcase.

When she sees him coming her way, she sits casually as he joins her on the couch, with the notebook in hand.

"When you visited the last time, you suggested to me about drawing as a hobby. Since then, I have been drawing in my spare time. I would like your opinion on them," Yuki explained, handing her the notebook.

"Of course. I can look at them," Felicia replied.

When she opened his notebook, she saw Yuki's drawings were mainly dragons, and they were crude and cartoonish. Some dragons were long and skinny with small heads, or short and fat with large heads. Some had long wings and short tails, or small wings and long tails.

'Blimey, these drawings of dragons look like something a child would draw. Perhaps Yuki hasn't drawn before or in a long time,' Felicia thought, carefully looking at the pages.

"What do you think?" he asked calmly.

'What do I tell him? I don't want to hurt his feelings and say that they're bad,' the British girl thought, before making a decision.

"I have to say these drawings are pretty good. Is this your first time drawing anything?" she asked.

"Yes, it is," Yuki nodded.

"Well, I think your drawings can be even better if you watch some 'how to draw' videos online," Felicia suggested.

"I will do that. Thank you for comments," he said.

"Though I have a question. Why did you draw only dragons?" Felicia wondered, flipping through the pages.

"I like dragons," Yuki simply replied.

"Did you find an image of a dragon you saw online and try to draw that?" she further asked.

"No, I only drew whatever dragons came to mind," he answered.

"Oh, I see," Felicia sweat-dropped, putting the notebook down. "Well, you can draw other things besides animals. You can draw people, objects, and scenery. Whatever is it that you enjoy seeing and want to make look amazing with your two hands."

"I will remember that," Yuki said.

Suddenly, they heard a knock at the door.

"Yo, Yuki and Felicia, dinner's almost done," San's dragon head Niji spoke.

"T-t-the food smells good," Sanji commented.

"You two should come downstairs while it's hot," Ichi ordered.

"OK," Yuki responded.

Soon, they heard eldest Drago sibling go down the stairs.

"We should go now," Yuki said as he stood up.

"Actually, would it be alright if I look at the notebook a little more?" Felicia questioned.

"You can do that after dinner," he suggested.

"I know, but the thing is I would like to leave after I eat. I have to go out tomorrow if you remember," she reminded him.

"Oh, yes." Yuki understood. "Take your time, but not too long. Also, you can leave the stairs open when you leave the room."

"OK," Felicia nodded.

Then Yuki left the room, opening and closing the door and going down the stairs.

When Felicia was alone, she quickly skimmed through the rest of Yuki's journal.

'I have to say that while some of the drawings are crude, some of them the cartoonish ones are actually kind of cute,' she thought.

The cartoonish dragon drawings she saw looked similar to the following dragons: Dojo from Xiaolin Showdown, Mushu from the Mulan movie, Spike from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and Baby Dragon from the Yu-Gi-Oh anime.

When Felicia finished looking through the notebook, she put it down on the couch and stood up. Before she was about to leave, she noticed Yuki's journal on his desk.

'Perhaps I can use this time to look through his journal again,' the British girl thought.

Then she shook her head to get the idea out of her mind.

'No, I shouldn't. While I'm curious, I don't have enough time. Dinner could be done by now and I don't want to keep Yuki and his family waiting. Maybe another time,' Felicia thought, heading out of the room.


-My Hero Academia-


Back at the Emerald Shade, Arisa finished writing her letter.

'I'm finished. I can't believe it took me half an hour,' Arisa thought, looking a little tired.

There so much she wanted to tell Mrs. Todoroki that she had two rip out two more blank pages from her notebook.

With the three pages in hand, Arisa checked them again. She wanted to make sure she didn't leave anything out.

'Well, I wrote down most of what happened at the Sports Festival and my internship. As well as the studying for my final exams and the exam itself. I definitely made sure to leave out certain parts, like what happened to Kai after his fight, encountering the Reaper, and Akihiko being transgender,' she thought, looking through the pages.

When Arisa finished, she put the pages away in her backpack and went to bed.

'I'll need to remember to buy a letter and stamp tomorrow at the mall,' the heterochromatic girl thought, falling asleep.


-My Hero Academia-


Meanwhile, Felicia and the Drago family were at the dinner table.

The table was full of silverware (plates, forks, and knives) and delicious-looking food. There were chicken legs, roast beef, pork cutlets, bowls of rice, mashed potatoes, and a bowl of salad. There were glasses of water for everyone, except Asa who had a sippy cup of water and a plastic plate.

On one of side of the table were San, Mrs. Drago, and Asa, who sat in a high chair. While Felicia and Yuki sat on the other side.

"I propose a toast," Mrs. Drago started before they ate, raising her glass. "To Yuki and Felicia for passing their final exams. May you both keep doing well to become heroes. Cheers!"

"Cheers!" Felicia, Yuki, and San said together as they raised their glasses.

"Cheer!" Asa shouted, holding up her sippy cup.

Then everyone began eating. As usual, San and Asa ate like wild dragons, eating with their hands and not caring how they look. While Felicia, Mrs. Drago, and Yuki ate like civilized people, using their forks and knives and taking their time eating their food.

Mrs. Drago sighed to how her eldest and youngest children were acting with Felicia there, which the British girl noticed. Felicia just went along with it because she has seen them like that before.

Then Felicia saw Mrs. Drago grin with how she saw Yuki eating. Felicia was glad to see her best friend eating as she taught him to back when they were at the restaurant.

"So, Felicia," Mrs. Drago spoke. "I guess you're happy that you, Yuki, and your class passed the final exams."

"I am," the British girl nodded.

"That's good. Yuki told me that you two are your class had to fight the teachers for the final exams. That must have been tough," Mrs. Drago said.

"It was indeed, and surprising," Felicia commented.

"San and I were surprised when Yuki told us he and his classmate Kai fought against All Might," the Drago mother continued.

"It really was," Ichi agreed.

"F-facing A-all Might is i-intense," Sanji said.

"Really brutal, yo," Niji added.

"Though we were glad that Yuki and Kai made it pass All Might to pass the final exam," Mrs. Drago stated. "What did you think of their match, Felicia?"

"It was a little one-sided against them at first, but they did really well near the end," she commented.

"That's good to hear," the Drago mother grinned. "What about you, Felicia? Who did you face in the final exam?"

"My friend Makoto and I had to fight against Mr. Aizawa," Felicia answered.

"Eraser Head?" Ichi asked, and Felicia nodded.

"T-that must h-have been h-hard," Sanji stated.

"That guy is brutal," Niji commented.

"It was difficult at first to create a way to fight Mr. Aizawa," the British girl recalled. "Luckily, I was able to come up with a plan that helped Makoto and me pass the exam."

"I'm glad for you and your friend, Felicia," Mrs. Drago said, then looked at her youngest son. "What did you think of her match, Yuki?"

"I did not actually watch any of the matches," he admitted. "Though I did hear how the matches went. It sounded like Felicia did well in her match."

"Thank you, Yuki," she grinned.

Eventually, Felicia and the Dragos finished dinner. She and Yuki helped Mrs. Drago with collecting dishes, and San played with Asa in the living room.

In the kitchen, Felicia helped the Drago mother with washing the dishes and utensils, and Yuki put them away in the cabinets and drawers.

"Thank you both for helping me," Mrs. Drago told them.

"It's no problem," Felicia responded with a grin.

"You volunteered me to help, Felicia," Yuki mentioned.

"Well, your mother made that celebratory dinner for us. The least we can do is help her out afterwards," the British girl pointed out.

"That was nice of you to suggest, Felicia," the Drago mother looked at her and then at her son. "Actually, maybe you can help out more a bit more in the kitchen after dinner, every now and then, Yuki."

"I suppose I can," he accepted.

Eventually, the three of them finished cleaning and putting away the dishes and utensils.

"With that done, I will go to my room now," Yuki said. "Good night, Felicia."

"Good night, Yuki," the British girl replied as he left the kitchen and down the hallway.

"You're leaving already?" Mrs. Drago questioned.

"Yes." Felicia nodded. "I have plans tomorrow and I don't want to be out for too long."

"I understand, but can I ask you something before you go?" the Drago mother stopped her from leaving the kitchen.

"What is it?" the British girl asked.

Mrs. Drago whispered in her ear and inquired, "What do you think of Yuki?"

"Oh. I think he's a good person and a good friend to have," Felicia honestly answered.

"Is that so?" Mrs. Drago wondered.

"What do you mean?" the British girl was confused.

"I know Yuki might not say it, but I know he appreciates the time you spend with him. He even told me how you two became friends, and that you two and your other friend sometimes walk out of school together. Also, I think you might enjoy being with him," the Drago mother guessed.

"What?!" Felicia gasped and blushed.

"Do you like Yuki? As more than a friend?" Mrs. Drago gave her a certain look with a smile.

"No," the British girl denied, still blushing. "I don't feel that way about Yuki, honestly. I only think of him as a friend. I'm sure he does too."

"You know, my husband took his time to admit how he felt about me," the Drago mother mentioned. "Yuki sort of takes after him in some ways. I think in time Yuki will tell you how he feels about you."

Hearing that made Felicia blush in embarrassment. "Huh?"

"You two would be wonderful together," Mrs. Drago added.

Wanting to get out quickly, Felicia took out her phone and saw it was half past 8 o'clock.

"Oh. Look at the time. I have to go now so I can be rested for my busy day tomorrow," she excused herself as she left the kitchen.

"Alright then. Good night, Felicia," the Drago mother waved to her.

"See ya," San's three dragon heads said together.

"Goo night," Asa waved to her too.

Eventually, Felicia left the Drago house and was on her way back to the Emerald Shade. Her mind was focused on what Yuki's mom told her.

'Why did Mrs. Drago have to say that? I don't feel that way about Yuki. Though we have spent some time together. Also, from what Miru told me and from reading Yuki's journal, he thinks about me practically every day,' Felicia thought, blushing.

Then the British girl shook her head to stop thinking about it like that, which stopped her blushing.

'Though I'm sure that's only because I'm his friend, well, now his best friend. I don't like Yuki as more than a friend and he probably feels the same way,' Felicia thought.


-My Hero Academia-


The next day, Arisa and Felicia were at the Tatooin Station, waiting for the train to come.

"I'm glad we'll be spending a few hours with our friends from class and Class 1-A while we get our supplies for the training camp," Arisa said.

"Indeed," Felicia nodded.

"Though should we be heading to the mall now? It's only 11 A.M. right now," the heterochromatic girl pointed out, looking at her phone.

"Better to be there early than possibly late," the British girl advised. "We all agreed to meet up at 1 P.M. at the mall"

"I guess you're right," Arisa accepted.

Eventually, the train came and after a long train ride, the girls arrived at the Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall. They looked at their phones and saw it was a little after 12 in the afternoon.

"It looks like we have about an hour before we the others show up," Arisa put her phone away.

"I guess we wait until they arrive," Felicia suggested.

As the two of them went up the stairs, they decided to sit on some benches and wait for their classmates and the Class 1-A students to show up.

When they reached the mall entrance, the two girls were surprised by what they saw.

On some of the benches were most of the Class 1-A students: Midoriya, Ocacho, Iida, Hagakure (the invisible girl), Ashido, Kaminari, Mineta, Shoji (the multi-limbed student), Momo, Jiro, Fumikage, and Kirishima.

While on another bench were their friends and classmates: Kai, Eli, Akihiko, and Haia.

Some of the students were on their phones or talking with each other. While Kaminari and Mineta were looking at some of the other girls nearby.

"Hey, Arisa and Felicia! Glad to see you two here!" Eli greeted them as both girls approached the group.

The others waved to them and greeted them too.

"Hello," Arisa greeted them back.

"Greetings," Felicia said.

Iida then stood up to talk to them.

"It's good to see you're both here at the schedule rendezvous point. Do you know where your other classmates are?" he asked.

"No, we don't know. I guess Usagi, Miru, Makoto, Tatsumi, Maruto, and Junko are probably on their way here," Arisa assumed.

"Though, Aku and Yuki aren't coming," Felicia mentioned.

"I see," Iida understood.

Felicia then noticed that about half of Class 1-A's students were present.

"It looks like about half of your class is here, Iida. Are the others coming?" the British girl wondered.

"No, they're not. They have other things to do," he answered.

"I can understand that," Arisa nodded.

"Indeed," Felicia agreed.

"Alright then," Iida said.

He went back to his bench as both girls sat on a bench next to their classmates.

"Hey, Arisa and Felicia," Akihiko spoke. "How are you two?"

"We're fine," Arisa replied.

"Have you, Haia, Eli, and Kai been here for long, Aki?" Felicia asked.

"We've only been here for a few minutes. The Class 1-A students were here when we arrived," Haia answered for her cousin.

"It's true," Eli joined in. "We've been on our phones since then, waiting for the rest of our class to come."

"Isn't there something else we can do, besides being on our phones for an hour?" Arisa wondered.

"Perhaps we can talk to Class 1-A," Felicia suggested.

"About what?" Akihiko asked.

"Maybe how their matches in the final exams went," Arisa suggested.

"That's sounds like a jolly good idea," Felicia commented with a grin. "Let's do it."

"I like that idea," Akihiko stated.

"Me too," Eli agreed.

"You want to join us, cuz?" Akihiko asked her cousin.

"Fine," Haia nodded.

"What about you, Kai?" Eli questioned.

"OK," Kai responded.

The six of them got up from the benches and went to go talk to the Class 1-A students.

The first bench had Kaminari, Mineta, Jiro, and Momo.

As the Class 1-L students approached them, Arisa and Felicia asked them how their final exam matches went and if they passed or not.

Immediately, Kaminari looked sad for some reason, which made some of the Class 1-L concerned about him.

Momo, Jiro, and Mineta stated they passed their exams, but not Kaminari. Then each of the Class 1-A students explained how their matches went.

Mineta explained that he and and Sero were up against Midnight in a rocky terrain. As soon as their match started, Sero used his tape to pull Mineta away from Midnight because of her Quirk. Unfortunately, Midnight removed Sero's mask and used her Quirk to make him fall asleep.

Jiro added that Mineta ran away, crying blood for some reason. Then Mineta continued his tale.

Eventually, Midnight caught up to him, but it turned out to be his plan to lure her away from the gate because he knew about her sadistic side. When Midnight used her Quirk, Mineta used a piece of Sero's tape that he held onto as a mask to cover his mouth and nose. That prevented Midnight's Quirk from affecting him. Then Mineta used the sticky balls from his head to trap Midnight and her whip where she was at as he went passed her. Finally, Mineta reached the sleeping Sero and dragged him through the escape gate with him.

However, only Mineta passed the exam, and not Sero because he was knocked out during the fight.

After telling his tale, Mineta looked sad for some reason.

While the Class 1-L students felt bad for Sero, they wondered why Mineta was depressed now.

He explained in a shout that he was jealous of Sero getting to be with Midnight. That made Momo, Jiro, and Class 1-L students sweat-drop to he was acting. Though they weren't surprised because they know of Mineta's obsession with girls.

With Kaminari not looking in the mood to talk, Momo explained for him about how his match went.

Kaminari and Ashido faced off against Principal Nezu, the mouse prinicipal, in Ground Gamma. The two of them were confident they could take on the principal in a fight. Suddenly, they noticed structures around them getting destroyed for some reason. It turned out Prinicpal Nezu operated a wrecking ball crane to destroy certain buildngs and cause chain reactions throughout the area. Kaminari and Ashido weren't quick enough to get to the escape gate because the principal's destruction blocked off their routes to the gate one by one. Unfortunately, both students failed because they ran out of time.

Now the Class 1-L students understood why Kaminari was looking down in the dumps.

After that, Momo was next to tell about how her match went.

She and Todoroki faced Eraser Head in the suburban landscape, the same area that Felicia and Makoto were in when they faced him. At first, Momo followed Todoroki's plan, but then Eraser Head used his restraining bonds to catch Todoroki. Luckily, Momo evaded capture and made it back to Todoroki to free him. Then they tried Momo's plan. With Todoroki's powers and Momo's many creations, like mannequins, a catapult, and nitonyl alloy, they managed to catch Eraser Head and handcuff him.

Finally, it was Jiro's turn to explain her match.

She and Koda were up against Present Mic in the forest area, the same area that Usagi and Miru were in when they faced him. The teacher kept using his Quirk to create powerful soundwaves that kept Jiro and Koda from advancing because of the intense pain in their ears. Even Jiro's counterattack only cancelled out Present Mic's attack for a moment. When Jiro suggested to Koda to talk to bugs, it turned out he was scared of them. Luckily, Jiro convinced Koda to face his fears and talk to the bugs. Then the bugs came out of the ground and attacked Present Mic, surprising him so much that he passed out. After that, Koda carried Jiro through the escape gate.

After the Class 1-L students thanked them for their explanations, they went to another bench.

The next bench had Shoji, Fumikage, Kirishima, and Hagakure.

When Arisa and Felicia asked them how their went matches went, Shoji, Fumikage, and Hagakure stated that they passed. Though Kirishima admitted that he failed.

Kirishima told them that he and Sato (the muscular guy from Class 1-A) were in the city area and up against Cementoss, the teacher with a cement Quirk. The Pro Hero fought by making cement walls over and over again to block the students. Even though Sato and Kirishima broke through the numerous walls, the two of eventually ran out of energy. Cementoss then captured them with his cement and knocked them out.

Some of the Class 1-L students felt bad for Kirishima and Sato for failing their exam.

Next, Hagakure and Shoji explained about their match.

They faced off against Snipe, the cowboy teacher. When they found the escape gate in a large corridor filled with stone pillars, Snipe started shooting at them with his guns as they hid behind a pillar. Then the teacher used a smoke bomb to make them come out and fired his guns to destroy the pillar they were behind. While Shoji ran behind another pillar, he noticed Hagakure wasn't neaby. He saw her gloves and shoes on the floor, realizing she went into full stealth mode. Shoji came out of hiding, ran for a bit, and pretended to surrender, which distracted Snipe long enough for Hagakure to handcuff the teacher.

Lastly, it was Fumikage's turn.

He and Asui were up against Ectoplasm, who made copies of himself for them to fight. The two of them managed to defeat many of Ectoplasm's copies and find the gate. Though Ectoplasm was there too and he made a giant copy of himself to capture them. Even with the two of them stuck on the giant copy, Fumikage told his Dark Shadow to go to the exit, but Ectoplasm kept stopping it. Then Asui told Fumikage that she swallowed the handcuffs before the giant copy got them. With Asui regurgitating the handcuffs and Fumikage calling Dark Shadow back, she gave Dark Shadow the handcuffs. Then Dark Shadow used a sneak attack and managed to handcuff Ectoplasm's leg.

After thanking them for their tales, the Class 1-L students went to the last group of Class 1-A students.

The last bench had Midoriya, Iida, Ocacho and Ashido.

Just like before, Arisa and Felicia asked them how their final exam matches went.

Midoriya, Ocacho, and Iida stated they passed. While Ashido said with a grin that she failed.

Ashido's smile made the Class 1-L students sweat-drop because they thought she would be sad for failing the exam.

When she was about to explain her match, the Class 1-L students mentioned that they heard about how she and Kaminari did from Momo.

That made Ashido a bit bummed because she wanted to tell them herself.

While Ocacho comforted her, the gravity girl decided to explain about her match.

She and Aoyama were up against Thirteen in the same area that Eli and Aku were in when they faced her. When Ocacho and Aoyama found the escape gate, Thirteen was there and she used her Quirk to make a black hole. Fortunately, Ocacho and Aoyama held onto a metal rail to prevent them from getting sucked in. While holding on, Ocacho got distracted for a moment and accidentally let go of the rail, getting pulled to the teacher. When she got close enough to Thirteen, the teacher stopped using her Quirk for a moment. Then Ocacho used the martial arts she learned from her internship to tackle Thirteen and pin down one of her arms. Before the teacher could use her other arm to activate her Quirk, Aoyama propelled himself to them with his Quirk and pinned down Thirteen's other arm. Finally, Ocacho handcuffed Thirteen.

After that, Iida explained about how his match went.

He and Ojiro faced Power Loader in the same area that Akihiko and Haia were in when they faced him. Power Loader dug underground and had traps made for the two guys. Iida and Ojiro decided that they had to get to the escape gate. With Ojiro on Iida's back, the Class 1-A class rep used his Quirk to run quickly and avoid the traps. Though Power Loader came out of the ground to block them from the gate and the ground in front of the two students collapsed. Luckily, Iida jumped and ordered Ojiro to wrap his tail around the class rep's leg. In the air, Iida used his move Recipro Extend to build momentum and speed to send Ojiro flying to the escape gate. Though Power Loader was in the way, Ojiro used his tail to swipe away the teacher's arm and made it to the gate.

Last but not least, Midoriya told them about his match.

He and Bakugo had to fight All Might in a city landscape with tall buildings, the same area that Kai and Yuki were in when they faced him. With Bakugo not wanting to work with Midoriya, they both had trouble against All Might at first, especially with Bakugo attacking the Pro Hero relentlessly. Luckily, Midoriya reached Bakugo in time for them to get way from All Might. After the two of them managed to talk for a bit, they were able to work together to fight All Might, but not beat him. In the end, Midoriya managed to get the knocked out Bakugo and drag him to the escape gate.

After hearing those tales, the Class 1-L students went back to their bench and saw the time was about a quarter to 1 on their phones. They decided to use their phones to pass the little time they had left until it was time for the whole group to shop.

Eventually, the rest of the Class 1-L students (Tatsumi, Maruto, Usagi, Miru, Makoto, and Junko) arrived at the Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall just as it was 1 in the afternoon.

They joined up with their classmates and the Class 1-A students.

"OK! Now that all is settled, let's all meet up here again at 3 PM!" Kirishima decided as everyone agreed on the time to meet up after their shopping is done.

They all went on their separate ways. It looked like everyone went off in groups. For instance, Felicia was in a group with Usagi, Miru, Makoto, and Junko.

The only ones left were just Kai, Arisa, Midoriya, and Ocacho.

"So, what are you two planning to buy here?" Arisa asked Midoriya and Ocacho.

"Oh well, I am here to buy... buy..." Ocacho's face started to blush, which the other three found to be weird. "I need to buy bug spray!"

She ran off quickly away from the three, leaving them with a surprised expression.

"What was that all about?" Midoriya asked.

"Beat me," Kai shrugged. "By the way, I'm going to the second floor and check out some shoes. I need a new pair."

"Oh, I will come with you, Kai! Maybe I will get some shoes suited for the training camp," Arisa said, joining with him and leaving Midoriya alone by himself.

Kai and Arisa checked out the shoe store on the second floor. As they did, some bystanders and other people noticed Kai, and they whispered to each other. Arisa saw this and looked a bit concerned.

'What are they whispering about?' Arisa thought worriedly.

"Don't mind them, Arisa," She snapped out her thought and looked at Kai, who looked indifferent while checking for the right shoes. "They probably remember us from the UA Sports Festival."

"Um, OK," she answered, thought she couldn't help but feel a bit worried. "I'm going to check the girls' shoes over there."

He nodded as Arisa went to see the shelf area for girls' shoes.

'They have a lot of choices here, but which one should I get?' Arisa thought, looking at all the different shoes.

She then chose two different colored pairs of shoes, one was pink and the other was red.

'I can't decide which of these two I should pick. Maybe I could ask for his opinion,' Arisa thought.

"Hey Kai, which one do you think is a better color on me? Pink or red?" She asked, but soon noticed that he was gone. "Kai? Kai?"

'Where did he go?' Arisa thought, putting the shoes down and looking around the store for her friend.

'He isn't here. Maybe he went to another store, but didn't tell me,' Arisa thought.

She then left the shoe store to look for Kai.

'Kai, where are you?' Arisa thought.

In a clothing store, the group of Felicia, Usagi, Miru, Makoto, and Junko were looking for the right clothes for the training camp.

Felicia and Miru were at one side of the store, and Usagi, Makoto, and Junko were at the other side of the store.

"Blimey! This store has a lot of choices for clothes," Felicia commented.

"I know. It could take a while to find what we need," Miru agreed.

About half an hour later, the two of them picked out what they needed. They mainly chose exercise shirts, shorts, and socks.

Felicia's choices for exercise shirts, shorts, and socks were a variety of colors, like blue, black, white, yellow, and red. While Miru's choices were mainly colored black, purple, and gray.

They stopped for a moment to see what they picked.

"Is there a reason you have mainly dark colored exercise clothes?" Felicia wondered.

"I just like these clothes, and it goes with my goth look," Miru responded.

"Oh, I see," the British girl sweat-dropped.

"You've got quite a rainbow variety of clothes, Felicia," the goth girl noticed.

"Well, we might need a lot of clothes for the training camp," Felicia stated.

"Are you hoping to get someone's attention with those clothes?" Miru asked.

"What?" the British girl was confused.

"Is it Yuki Drago?" the goth girl guessed with a grin.

"No," Felicia denied with a slight blush. "I just think I might need this many clothes for the training camp. That's all."

"Okay, if say so," Miru went off to look for more clothes.

'I hope Miru doesn't that too often at the training camp,' Felicia thought.

Eventually, the girls bought the clothes they needed and went off to the supplies store to get some supplies for the training camp.


-My Hero Academia-


Meanwhile, Arisa she searched a few stores on the second floor, but had no luck with finding Kai. She then stopped for a moment to catch her breath.

'Where did you go, Kai? And why didn't you tell me where you were going?' Arisa thought worriedly.

"Hey, did you see that Kai guy from the Sports Festival?" the heterochromatic girl overheard two guys talking and listened closely.

"Yeah, I did," the other guy nodded. "It looked like he was a hot girl at that cafe on the third floor."

'Kai is at the cafe? But why?' Arisa thought as she knew where to go.

She took an escalator to third floor and found the cafe. Inside, Arisa tried to look for Kai. Then a waiter with white and black shades approached her.

"Can I help you, miss?" Stan Lee asked her.

"Have you seen a boy with brown eyes and white hair with black edges in here?" she asked.

"Yes, over there," he pointed to a table.

"Thank you," Arisa said as she left the waiter.

Then she found Kai at a table, sitting with someone else.

It was a young woman with a big black hat that obscured her face so that you couldn't see it. She was wearing an average light-colored one piece dress, which didn't match her hat.

'Who is Kai with?' the heterochromatic girl thought as she approached their table.

"Kai?" Arisa said as he glanced at her.

"What are you doing here? And who is this?' She asked, wondering about who Kai is with.

The young woman glared at Arisa, giving off a familiar menacing aura. Arisa knew instantly who that person is.

'The Reaper?' Arisa thought shockingly.

"Please, let him go," she said, looking afraid, to Reaper.

When Reaper moved her hand, Kai stood up for some reason and Arisa was worried about what she might do. Though Reaper just took out some money.

"Oops, sorry! I guess you were with someone else today. Thank you for the autograph and nice meeting you," Reaper said in a much kinder, sweeter tone.

As she walked past Arisa and Kai, she whispered something to them. "Whatever you do, don't follow me, or else, I will kill you all."

As Reaper stepped away and far from a safe distance, Arisa let out her breath, realizing how much she was holding in.

"Arisa, are you OK?" Kai asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she breathed. "Kai, that girl, she's!"

"It's alright now. She's gone now," Kai said. "It's best not to say anything about this."

Suddenly, they heard a police siren and checked the first floor. They noticed that the police had arrived and parked at the mall's front entrance.

The rest of the Class 1-L students and the Class 1-A students heard the police sirens as well.

A bit later, the mall was closed temporarily. The Class 1-L and 1-A students gathered, confused by what was going on.

Ochaco told them about Midoriya encountering Tomura Shigaraki, the supposed leader of the League of Villains. He had Midoriya as a hostage, but left without doing anything. All of them were questioned, and Midoriya went with the police to keep him safe for a while and for further questioning. Everyone else went went home safely.

On the walk back to the Emerald Shade, Arisa and Felicia talked about what happened at the mall.

"Blimey, I can't believe Midoriya actually encountered Shigaraki at the mall," Felicia stated, carrying two bags in hand.

"I know," Arisa nodded. "From what our friends told us, he was really tough and scary during the USJ incident."

"It must have been terrifying for Midoriya. To have a villain right next to you and unable to do anything," Felicia commented.

Arisa didn't respond as she remembered what happened to her and Kai.

'Not only did Midoriya encounter Shigaraki, but Kai and I encountered the Reaper. I can understand how Midoriya must feel. So scared and helpless when you could die at any second,' Arisa thought.

'Is Arisa okay?' Felicia thought, worried about her friend.

"Arisa!" the British girl shouted, getting her friend's attention. "Are you okay?"

"Oh, yes," Arisa lied. "I just feel bad for Midoriya. I hope he'll be alright."

"I hope so, too," Felicia agreed.


-My Hero Academia-


Soon, it became evening as the two girls reached the apartment building and went to their rooms. They had dinner and took a shower right away.

With her pajamas on, Arisa was in bed as she thought about what happened at the mall.

'I can't believe it. Midoriya encountered Tomura Shigaraki, and Kai and I encountered the Reaper. I feel bad for Kai, Midoriya, and myself. Who knows what Shigaraki could have done to Midoriya, and what Reaper could have done to Kai and me. I really hope Reaper doesn't show up again, for the sake of Kai and me,' Arisa thought worriedly.

In her room, Felicia had her pajamas on as she went to bed. She was about to go to sleep when her phone rang, and she saw it was Yuki calling her.

'I wonder what Yuki wants?' she thought, sitting up to reach her phone and answer the call.

"Hello?" the British girl started.

"Hello, Felicia," Yuki responded. "My brother San told me that something happened at the mall today. I remembered that you, our class, and Class 1-A were going there today. I'm calling to ask if anything happened to any of you."

"Well, everyone is okay for the most part," Felicia assured him. "Though, from what Uraraka told us, Midoriya encountered Shigaraki, the leader of the League of Villains. However, the villain didn't attack him and only left when Uraraka showed up. Midoriya was with the police when we all decided to leave."

"That's surprising," Yuki calmly said. "It's good that everyone is okay."

"Thank you, Yuki," the British girl grinned, and changed the subject. "So, how was your day?"

"It was good," he responded.

Then there was a moment of silence, which Felicia decided to break.

"Aren't you going to ask how my day was?" she suggested.

"Wasn't your day surprising and scary because of what happened with Shigaraki?" Yuki assumed.

"Well, yes, but you can ask how it was before that happened," Felicia retorted kindly.

"OK. How was your day before the incident?" the dragon boy asked.

"It was good," Felicia commented. "Arisa, Aki, Haia, Kai, Eli, and I heard from our friends and the other students in Class 1-A about how their matches went in the final exams."

"That sounds nice," Yuki said.

"Would you like to know how they all did in their final exam matches?" she questioned.

"OK," he calmly answered.

"Alright then. Where do I start?" Felicia wondered.

Yuki listened as Felicia described how all the matches of Class 1-A went. Then 45 minutes later, she finally finished tell him about all the matches.

"Thank you for telling me about Class 1-A's matches, Felicia," Yuki said.

"You're welcome, Yuki," she replied. "What did you think of them?"

"Most of them were interesting. Though the rest were disappointing for those who failed," he commented.

"I know. I feel bad for those who will have to do extra work at the training camp. I hope they'll be okay," Felicia stated.

"I'm going to sleep now. Good night, Felicia," Yuki decided to end the call.

"Good night, Yuki," she hung up her phone.

Suddenly, Felicia checked the time on her phone and realized she talked to Yuki for almost an hour.

'Blimey! I've been on the phone with Yuki for that long?' she thought.

Then the British girl remembered about Yuki's mom asking her if she likes him. That Felicia blush for a moment, but she shook her head to stop thinking about it.

'No. Yuki and I only talked for that long because I had a lot to say to him. That's what best friends do. I only care for Yuki as a friend, and not more than that,' Felicia thought.

Soon, she put her put on the night table and lied down in bed.

After a nice and unexpectedly surprising day, both exchange students went to sleep.
