That time I was reborn as a warrior princess
Chapter 18- summer beach
The hero bunny Mirko was in a bar, drinking beer with Hawks and Endeavor as her drinking buddies. She was shocked when she saw the number two hero off from his hero costume and with no flames on his body. She was more shocked how the heck Hawks managed to convince the said hero to go to the bar with them.
"Hawks, I dunno what the hell are you planning but I will not fall into any of your trickeries."
"Come on Endeavor, it is the beginning of the summer and it is good to go out once in a while after work. You know, mental health is also important. " Hawks smiles at Endeavor.
Oh Mirko knows that smile. He is planning something with Endeavor and somehow he will drag her into his antics. She knows Hawks long enough to know when he is planning something for his own benefits.
"Anyway I heard you're playing a matchmaker for your son and that blue haired girl, what was her name again? Luciana?"
"Her name is Lucina. Lucina Ylisse, she's somewhere from Europe." Endeavor corrected as he drank some cold beer from the bottle. "From what I could see, she seems to be the perfect woman for my Shoto."
"You're not planning to do a quirk marriage, are you?" Mirko asks, frowning at Endeavor. She had heard stuff from (her future girlfriend) Fuyumi. "You know this is illegal, right?"
"What do you know, Usagiyama?" he growls "It is not just about her quirk but also her mental strength. She showed good leadership skills at the cavalry battle and she was the one that defeated the dragon monster."
"Oh, you mean the girl you're interested in is Dragon Slayer?" Mirku snapped her fingers in relation.
"Isn't her hero name Marth?" Hawks asks, confused.
"It is, but this is not the name the public is calling her. The public is calling her Dragon Slayer since she was the one to defeat the dragon beast and Iida junior is being called Bellerophon because he rode that winged horse. I still wonder where the heck that thing came from anyway? It is rare to see an animal with a quirk." Says Mirko in wonder.
That's what Hawks wants to know too. Of course he knows some stuff from the girl thanks from eavesdropping her conversation with Ingenium. He still can not believe she used to be a boy from their world. But that's the information that Hawks doesn't want to share with anyone or else people would question his sanity. The number 3 hero needs more information about the girl and her foregihn friends. He is even afraid the winged horse is a real pegasus from the girl's original world. He is very afraid that there are possibilities of more dragons' attacks in the future. He needs more information about this Grima character. For this, he needs to interact somehow with the girl away from UA campus. Even if it means using Endeavor's obsession for Lucina to be Shoto's bride.
"Say Endeavor, do you still have that summer house with the particular beach?" Hawks asks,
Endeavor raises his eyebrow suspiciously. What is he planning? Hawks smirks.
"Since it is summer and UA summer camp is just next week, how about you taking Shoto and some of his friends to the beach house for the weekend?" Hawks asks
"Why should I waste my time with this? I should focus on Shoto's training since he still can't control his fire well."
"Think about it, in the beach house, you will have more control on the environment. I know Shoto is in a rebel phase and he would never agree to going with you, alone. But inviting his friends he will feel more comfortable going to the beach house. And Fuyumi should go with them as well."
Now Mirko was glaring at him. He knows she has a crush on Fuyumi. What is planning? Endeavor asks why he should bring Fuyumi to the summer house as well.
"Well she knows more about romance stuff than you do. She can help to ignite a spark between Shoto and Lucina without them even realising it." explains Hawks.
Endeavor blinks as he bows his head and places his fingers on his chin, thinking. What Hawks said makes sense. Romance is not his forte and Fuyumi, without any doubt, understands it more than him.
"And Mirko and I can act as bodyguards."
Mirko's eyes widened in surprise.
"W-What?!" she yells, smashing her cup on the table.
She blushed when all the people of the bar started at them, confused. But they all returned to their own business when Endeavor glared at them.
"Hawks, explain." Endeavor dements.
Hawks explains the best way for the romance sparks if Endeavor is not present on the beach at all. But of course, since all the weird stuff that has been happening lately, they could not allow Fuyumi and the students to be alone at the beach house. So he and Mirko would be the best candidates to guard them.
"Come on Endeavor-san, If you want to get your son and the girl together, you need to be away."
Endeavor growls in defeat.
"Fine." Says Endeavor, a bit angered " But if something wrong happens, I will have your butt."
Hawks gulped. Endeavor can kick his ass when he's not even trying. He hoped the beach trip could get him the good results that Endeavor and himself desire

Lucina smiled at the sight of the beach before them. She was happy that she had accepted Todoroki's invitation for the weekend at his family bleach house. She was not the only one who was invited; Aoyama, Kirishima, Iida, Yarne, Kaminari, Kyoka, Momo, Tsuyu and Ochako were also there as well. They were all happy to be there too.
"This is so cool! Thank you for inviting us, Sir Todoroki!" Lucina says, smiling.
Todoroki blushed a little. Lucina was wearing a bikini that was not that revealing but it valued her fit body .Shoto said it was nothing since his father was too busy but insisted him to have some rest at their family beach house and bring some friends if he wished. Lucina was confused since this was not into Endeavor's character which Todoroki agreed.
"Who cares about this!" exclaimed Kaminari " We got the beach house all to ourselves for the weekend. Look what a beautiful sight we have here!"
"I agree. The horizon is really beautiful." Iida says, happily " The weaver is good and the water is clear. We will have a good weekend."
Lucina sighs; Iida is misunderstanding the things. What Kaminari means with beautiful sight was the girls wearing bikinis and swimming suits and not the beach itself. It is a good thing she asks Mineta ( more likely threatened him with a very painful death) to not go with them to the beach house. Kaminari may be a pervert but he has more self control than the dwarf grape head. Kirishina comments it was rare to see Lucina without Gerome, Noire and Laurent around.
"Oh, that's because they are having swimming classes with Lady Midnight."
"Swimming classes?" the teens asked, confused.
"Well you see, Lucina and I are the only ones who can swim. The rest of our friends can't swim, so Lucina was worried that the summer camp may involve us in swimming in lakes or rivers, she asked Lady Midnight if she could teach them how to swim before the summer camp." explains Yarne.
Iida nodded, understanding their situation. Tsuyu commented it was rare to see Kirishima without Bakugou around too. Kirishima smiled sadly, telling them he did invite him but the explosive blond told him he had some work and some counseling to do before the summer camp.
"But I will have fun for both of us!" Kirishima exclaimed, happily.
Lucina smiles at him. She is happy to see Bakugou is finally having a positive friend that was not so blind like Izuku was. The red haired boy is the friend Bakugou needed most.
Then, Fuyumi asked them to help her to set up the net because they were going to play volleyball. The kids all cheered as they helped the female Todoroki to set up everything. At the distance, Mirko and Hawks were watching everything.
"Nice view, hum?" Hawks smirks at Mirku
Mirko just stepped on his feet, hard. Yeah, seeing Fuyumi in a swimming suit was one of the best views she could get but she will not admit to Hawks. Poor Hawks groaned in pain.
"Here, get us some meat, vegetables, watermelon, soda and beer." says Mirko as she gives Hawks some money.
Hawks looked confused " Hun?"
"Look here Brain Bird, it was your idea for us to be here. Fuyumi told me she wanted to do some barbecue on the beach in the evening and we need stuff. And you'll get them."
"But…"
Hawks shuts his mouth when he sees Mirko's glare of doom. He may be the number 3 but he knows how painful any punch or kick from Mirky can be. Sighing in defeat, Hawks flies away to get the groceries they need. Mirko smirks as she removes her coat, revealing her summer bikini. She hopes she can get Fuyumi's all attention.
"Screw Hawks and Endeavor's cupid plan. Fuyumi and I will be the ones to get the summer love!" She thought as she hopped towards Fuyumi's direction.
Back to the UA students, they all prepared the volleyball court on the sand. It was Team Girls vs Team Boys. Fuyumi explained the rules to her brother since he never played any sport before. The rules were very simple as long none of them were using their quirks. Fuyumi played as a judge to make sure the game would not heat up too much.
Everyone laughed as they played volleyball. Of course, they kinda exchanged some insults to each other but none too serious. However they did not notice the water was bubbling.
After half an hour of playing, they stopped playing after Team Girls came out victorious. Some were resting under the shades while the others decided to play in the water to refresh. Mirko asked Fuyumi if she could put the sunscreen on her back.
"Oh Sure, thank you, Rumi-san." Fuyumi smiles
Mirku's inner bunny was hopping in joy. She may dislike Hawks but she had to thank him for his plan and this opportunity to be with Fuyumi without Endeavor around.
Yarne and Kaminari were napping under the shade while Lucina was looking at the horizon in peace. It has been so long she had any kind of peaceful moment like this one. It almost made her forget a bit of her problems. Then, she blinked confused
"Hun?" she felt some odd presence in the water.
Suddenly the ground quaked which woke up Kaminari and Yarne. Everyone stopped what they were doing when the quake started. Then, a giant squid came out of the water.
"Holy Naga! Is that a kraken?" shouted Yarne, scared.
"What a kraken is doing here?!" Lucina was in shock as well. She saw a Kraken once it was very scary, especially so close to the port.
The giant squid used its tentacles to grab Aoyama, Kirishima and Iida.
"Aidez moi!" Aoyama cried out as he was lifted by the tentacle
"Hey hey, where the hell are you touching?!" blushed Kirishima as he felt the tentacles touching some sensitive parts of his body.
"You monster! Let me ...HUN!" Iida could not say anything else because a tentacle shoved into his mouth.
Lucina, Kaminari and Yarne's jaw dropped in shock while Fuyumi, Momo, Ochako, Tsuyu and Jiro were furiously blushing while watching.
"Eer... This is not one of those tentacle monster hentai things, is it ?" Mirko asked. " That is unexpected with the boys."
"What's a tentacle monster hentai?" Todoroki asks, confused.
"IT IS NOT THE TIME FOR THIS!" Cried Furyum in panic " WE HAVE TO HELP THEM!"
Lucina's tattoo glowed in the back of her hand and she grabbed her sword. She also gave weapons to Kaminari, Momo and Kyoka. Kaminari had a sword in the shape of a lightning, Momo had a spear and Jiro had bow and arrows.
"Ok, this is where you will use what I taught you the other day." Says Lucina to them.
Mirko was in shock. What?
"Wait wait! Did you teach them how to use weapons?!" Mirko was shocked " When?! Why?!"
"Not everything is solved with quirks, Lady Mirko" Lucina says to the bunny hero
The giant squid attacked and they all jumped the wary. Mirko grabbed Fuyumi to jump away from the attack. After placing Fuyumi in a safe spot, she hopped back to the battle field.
"Ok kids, I usually do not do this but I give you permission to fight against this thing." she smirks "Show me what you can do, Dragon Slayer!"
Lucina nodded. This meant they will not get in trouble for using weapons or quirks against the kraken.
"Ok guys in your positions!" ordered Lucina.
Everybody was in their positions to attack. Ochako and Tsuyu were guarding Fuyumi to make sure she was safe. Then, Todoroki was the first one to attack. He used his ice to freeze the giant beast. Lucina used her wind magic on her and Momo a higher jump, they used their sword and spear to cut the tentacles, freeing Aoyama, Iida and Kirishima. Yarne, in his beast form, grabbed Aoyama, while Mirku grabbed Iida and Tsuyu used her tongue to save Kirishima from the fall. Kyoka used her arrows to hit the monster's eyes.
"Kaminari, use the levin sword!"
Kaminari nodded. He raised the sword and he summoned a thunderbolt attack on the kraken.

Hawks was flying back after getting all the groceries. He was muttering, complaining about Mirko being a bossy bunny around him. Then, he yelped in surprise when a lightning bolt struck where everybody was. He flew faster. When he arrived at the local, he saw everyone covered with what looked like blue blood and there were pieces of a giant dead squid everywhere. And is that the Iida kid with a tentacle in his mouth, lying on the sand?
"You know what? I do not want to know what happened here." Hawks said in a very deadpan expression he ever made. Pegasus, dragons, magic swords and now what it seems to be a kraken. He was tired of the fantasy stuff. He really was. He was hating the mission the heroes commission had given him. And he was not even a fan of the fantasy genre!

After cleaning everything and themselves, the gang of Class 1A was finally savoring the barbecue that Fuyumi promised to them. Yarne was thankful for the vegan barbecue that Fuyumi had prepared for him and for Mirko. Iida was still crying while eating his food, saying he never felt so humiliated while being comforted by Tsuyu, Kaminari and Kirishima.
Mirko is eating her vegan barbecue and she looks at hawks with an ugly eye as she is trying to say "Get out here Bird Brain, this is my summer romance." Hawks Sweetdrop. Mirko can be very persistent when she wants to be. Then, he notices Lucina is not around. He looks around and he sees her sitting on the top of a rock, looking at the sea. Hawks grabs a soda can and flies towards her.
"Hey, do you mind if I give you some company?" Hawks asks while sitting beside Lucina.
He offers a soda can to her.
"Thank you, Sir Hawks." She accepted the soda can.
They were sitting on the rock, looking at the moon being reflected in the water. Hawks saw this as a good opportunity to learn more about her.
"So you're teaching your classmates how to use weapons? You're something, Lucina-chan."
"Please, don't call me that, Sir Hawks. We're not even close. Besides, I will not tell you anything about me or my friends since your superiors tried to take my sword after the dragon's attack from the other day."
Hawks paused. She could not know he was working with the heroes commission, could she?
"Heroes commission, I know you're their pet agent, after all, they were the ones who paid for all your hero education. Am I right, Sir Hawks?" she asks after drinking some of her soda.
"Wow, I have to admit, Not many people know I work for the commission. You observe things very well for a girl of your age."
"Where I am from, I need to be very observative, Sir Hawks. So, tell your superiors I do not plan to make myself as their enemy since I do not want them to be my enemies either. However, if they take my sword away, you can bet I will not save you and their asses if another dragon attacks."
"Is this a threat? Hawks asks, very serious.
"Not a threat, just the truth. The sword only works with me and anyone with my bloodline. If they take Falchion away from me, they will only doom themselves and everyone else if Grima appears again with another victim with a forced degeneration."
"Grima… that is the name of the villain who was responsible for the attack at Best Jeanist's agency. Can you tell me more about him? I would like to know what we're dealing with here."
Lucina was quiet for a moment. She does not trust Hawks but she does not want to be responsible for his fall in case he finds Grima alone.
"Sir Hawks, I will give you the same advice I gave to Shigaraki Tomura; do not deal with Grima at all. Grima is not a simple villain like the ones you used to deal with. He is a very dangerou creature. He killed my family and destroyed my home. He is the reason why my friends and I are here."
Hawks was now interested in her meeting with Shigaraki. He heard she met him at Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall and fortunity, there were no victims. Lucina told him Shigaraki was interested in the beast she had killed, who created it and her sword since for some reason, he could not destroy it with his quirk. She had told him about Grima but warned him that Grima was not someone he should get involved with.
"You can deal with the League of Villains but Grima is our problem. My friends and I can handle him."
Then, they heard Ochako calling for the blue haired girl.
"Lucina-chan! I saved your part of the barbecue!" called Ochako, waving to her
Lucina hopped off from the rock and walked towards Ochako. She thanked the brunette for saving her food. Hawks was still watching her.
"Sorry little girl, but I will not let you deal with something bigger than the League by yourself."

The weekend passed without any problem since the kraken incident. The kids had fun and Mirku trained Yarne since he had a 'similar' quirk to her. Poor Yarne suffered by the hands of the hero bunny. And Hawks was now facing Endeavor's wrath.
"So, you're telling me nothing happened? Even with Fuyumi doing all the typical summer stuff with them?"
Endeavor's flame was bigger than the normal. It was a good thing they were in Endeavor's office where everything was fireproof.
Hawks gulped. Mirko was the only one who had her summer love worked out since Fuyumi gave her phone number to the rabbit hero. That was a detail that Endeavor did not need to know. Not yet anyway.
"Well, It was not a total fail at all. I overheard your son was asking Lucina if she could teach him how to use a sword."
Now Endeavor was surprised. He mentioned Shoto did not need to use weapons but knowing how to sword fight, it could learn how to defend and how to avoid bladed attacks since some villains use bladed weapons and just like himself, Shoto was not good in close range attacks. Hawks sighed with relief when Endeavor admitted the weekend was not a total waste at all. Hawks even suggested to leave them alone for now and let nature run their course. Endeavor agreed to leave them alone, for now.

Mirko was at her apartment, staring at the small box before her. Before the kids left for UA, the bunny boy, Yarne, gave her a box, telling her it will be useful for a follow taguel. Mirko wondered what the heck was a taguel? She opened the box and saw a red gem. Mirko was not into jewels but she admitted It was a beautiful gem. When she picked it up, the gem glowed and Mirko turned into a giant beast rabbit. Her reaction?
"THIS IS SO COOL!"
She liked her beast form very much.
End of the chapter.
A/n; And that's th chapter 18.
I hope you all liked it. I know it was a filler but after reading the Smash spinoff where everybody goes to Endeavor's summer house, I needed to add it to the story somehow.
And what are your thoughts on the interaction between Hawks and Lucina? I wanted to add Lucina telling Hawks she is not an enemy for the heroes commission but she will be if they try to steal her sword again. And Hawks will play dangerous with fire when he decides to deal with Grima along with the league.
Next chapter we will finally be in the summer camp arc, Stay tuned.
