For anyone interested, I'm adding this story to wattpad :)
Ring ring ring. Ring ring ring. Ring ring ring...
Hear a familiar sound, Relon lifts himself from his slumber. Rubbing the little sleep remaining on his face, he allows a yawn to escape before looking around.
I must have fallen asleep after eating... He surmises looking at the empty bowl, bits of rice leftover.
Ring ring ring. Ring ring ring. Ring ring ring...
Glancing to his phone, he dismisses the alarm followed by putting the cleaning and heading for the kitchen. The moment he touches the pot, his mind goes back to last night. Stopping where he is, he glances to the bowl in hand that once was full of his favorite dish. Not thinking of anything, his eyes linger on the bowl. Aura and Kanao coming to mind as he shakes the incoming thoughts away.
Kanao can't replace Aura. No one can. But that doesn't mean Kanao can't be a second sister. One I will protect.
Putting away the dishes, he claps his hands against one another in a 'done' manner before geading to his room. Stopping, he gently knocks. Not too loud and hard or quiet and subtle. Once a response doesn't come, he gentle turns the knobs opening the door to walk inside.
Sleeping peacefully is Kanao Lucinance.
Smiling at the sight, he looks out the window at the bright sun high above the neighborhood. The civilians getting ready for the day either from their homes or some already out heading for the day.
Ring ring ring ring ring ring ri-
Quickly dismissing the morning alarm from his sister's phone stationed on the small shelf next to their bed.
Did that wake her? He looks to Kanao, the girl letting a small whine escape through her lips as her pink-lilac eyes now become visible. Yes it did. He stands to eye his sister.
Now sitting up from her bed, she raises her arms to stretch stifling a yawn. Relon's eyes grazes the sight of her chest for only a moment before he averts his eyes as the top three buttons have come undone revealing the beginning of her inner chest line.
I completely forgot Kanao had a chest like Mina's. She always has her cloak on covering herself when we're doing hero training and the bras she wears tends to make her bust smaller like Jirou's. Wait, why did Mina and Jirou come to mind? A better question; why do I even know any of that stuff?!
Shaking the thought out, he looks back to the girl who seems to have noticed as she looks down. With her mouth quivering, she let's a small 'eek' out as her face turns the same color as a tomato. She quickly turns away buttoning her shirt before giving a glance to Relon.
"Brother... good morning." She greets, embarrassment present in her tone.
Morning. How did you sleep? He asks with a tilt of his head giving a half smile back.
"I slept... well. It is relieving to see you safe and sound." She states getting to her feet, her cheeks still flushed.
Sorry about disappearing yesterday. He apologizes, his expression reflecting his thoughts.
"Do not give it another thought. You're safe and that is all that matters." She responds moving to embrace him to his slight surprise before returning the gesture resting his chin on her head. "I simply wish for today to be over already." She mutters, her embrace tightening slightly for Relon to nod in agreement.
You and me both, sis.
Loosening her grip, she steps back. Her expression matching her saddened tone.
"Do we have to go?" His solemn look being the answer she seeks.
If we don't, not only will Aizawa chew us out, but they will as well. I'm sure neither of us want to go like Nunu but...
"This is something we must overcome, correct?" He gives a single nod for her to breathe in defeat. "Then, while you shower, I shall prepare breakfast." Her sudden statement causing Relon's expression to change to confusion as he lifts his arm only to wimce from the pain.
Looking to Kanao, he sees her expression.
Damn it. Is all he can think.
"What happened, brother?" She flatly asks.
How did you know? He sighs.
"It was obvious from the way you hugged me." She answers for another sigh to escape the male.
He watches as she crosses her arms.
"I'm listening."
"I see." Kanao states with a hand raised under her chin as she thinks over what she was just told. "There are a number of possibilities it could be. The first that comes to mind is your panic attack made you hallucinate as Yaoyorozu suggested."
So the same as what we assumed then...
"Or it be in relation to-
Beep-Beep.
Both are interrupted as they look to their phones seeing a text from none other than Nunu.
Nunu: So we skipping, right?
Both look to the other before texting.
Relon: N
Kanao: O
Nunu: ... Really?
Relon: Yes.
Kanao: Yes.
Nunu: ... Damn it... Fine. Ugh.
Relon silently chuckles putting away his phone as does Kanao.
"Putting him aside, I must agree with Yaoyorozu. With how we are on 'that' topic, it is better for us to rely on our friends. Class 1-B for Crono, Mina and Jirou for myself, and Yaoyorozu, for you, especially. As well as Crono and I. We're family after all..." He widens at the mention.
He steps up place causing the shorter one of the two to look up with curiosity as a hand plants itself atop her head.
Yeah, we are. I'll try not to be too much of a burden, sis. He smiles thankfully for Kanao to shake her head placing both of her hands on top of his extended one.
"Think nothing of it." She smiles back. "So what will you do about your wound?" She glances at the spot.
Following her line of sight, he ponders the thought before closing his eyes to reopen them now a pure white. He pauses looking at his right hand.
"Such a kind and gentle power could never become corrupted. I just know it." Kanao mutters taking in the resonating sensation before eventually letting go of his hand.
Looking at it still, he places it over his injured shoulder.
Full Restoration. Seconds pass and Relon removes his hand reverting to normal.
Rolling his arm, he no longer feels the pain.
"I shall get breakfast ready while you shower." Relon nodding as she moves past him and out the door.
Heading to the bathroom, he closes the door behind him undressing to look at the bandaged shoulder reflected from the mirror. Unwrapping himself, he sees the shoulder as good as new as if it was never injured to begin with.
Eramsus Mode really is a blessing. He rolls his right arm to glance at his left. While Malevolence Form is a curse.
Looking at the time, he wastes no time hopping into the shower.
Meanwhile, Kanao having tied a portion of her into her signature side ponytail reaches the kitchen to stop seeing a card on the stove.
You truly are the greatest sister a guy could ask for. Sorry to have made you worry, Kanao.
P.S. Dinner was awesome!
- Relon, your brother.
Gazing at the card, she turns to where the sound off the shower can be heard. The edges of her stunned lips rising ever so slightly as she puts the card in her pocket to then grab the apron before beginning on breakfast.
Five minutes pass and the bathroom door opens releasing the stored steam.
God, showers are the best. He exclaims to run his hands through his hair before shaking it to glance down the hall, Relon smelling the soon-to-be-eaten breakfast. And Kanao is getting better and better at cooking. Last night proved that. Heading into his room, he closes the door behind him.
As he does, his eyes land on the famous portrait. Walking over to it, he lifts it.
We're family after all..."
Placing it down, he looks to the door and then back to the portrait. An idea coming to mind.
A portrait with the three of us may be a good idea...Placing that thought in the back of his head, he readies for the day. Looking to see himself presentable for the day, Relon heads to the main room, the scent of food growing stronger with every step.
Stopping at the bar, he gazes at the girl hard at work moving from one thing to another. If it wasn't for the food to take time to cook causing Kanao to pause every so often, Relon would think they were late for school or something.
Wait! Quickly pulling out his phone, he sighs in relief. Phew, we still have 30 minutes before we have to leave.
"Ouch."
Heading over, he sees Kanao holding a finger in her mouth with a knife in the other. Noiticing her brother, she turns to him seeing his hand out. Complying, she places both hands atop his as his other sandwiches them. Circuit markings becoming visible once again.
For being an expert with a sword, you sure are clumsy, sis. He gives a short laugh noticing the girl give something he hasn't seen in some time; a pout.
"I'm still learning." She mutters causing another laugh to escape the male as he steps back placing a hand at his hips.
How big of a difference is a knife from a sword?
"How big of a difference is a straw from a staff?"
He is about to respond but closes his mouth at the thought.
Touche. He responds earning a chuckle from his sister as she removes the bandages from her fingers tossing them into the tall trash can.
"Can you finish what's left while I get dressed?" He nods taking the apron and rolling up his sleeves showing the white circuit markings as she leaves.
If only Eramsus Mode could help with cooking. He jokes reverting to finish up Kanao's work.
Minutes pass before the Kanao steps back out into the main room now donned in her school uniform. Helping her step-brother set the table, they seat themselves before eating.
Rice in the morning is easily one of the best things to have. Relon thinks happily after taking a bite.
"We have 20 minutes to eat before we must leave. Keep that in mind, Shinn." Kanao mentions.
Nodding, both partake in their morning meals followed by cleaning their dishes.
"Do you have your house key?" She asks waiting at the door.
Coming right behind her, bag over his shoulder is Relon pulling said key from his pocket to hold up for her to see.
Yeah, do you? He tilts, the girl digging in the small zipper along her briefcase to reveal her own key.
Her point of interest then shifts past his key to his school tie.
"Your tie came undone." She comments lowering briefcase before moving to fix it, Relon lifting his head as she readjusts it. "It must have come a loose from cooking... There, now you look presentable." She steps back picking up her case.
Checking himself, he nods his thanks to the girl.
"Shall we?" He nods again, Kanao heading out with Relon behind looking at their home before locking the door.
With that, the two siblings depart. Their next stop; Momo's mansion.
"So what time did you return home?"
To tell the truth, I don't know. If I had to take a guess, maybe between nine and ten?
"I remember finishing my cooking by around 8:30 and soon fell asleep afterwards awaiting your arrival."
Yeah, that makes sense. Sorry again... Kanao. His eyes droop to the ground.
"I told you. Don't give it another thought. You are here and that is what matters. Just keep in mind what Yaoyorozu said last night as well as what I said this morning."
I will. He looks back ahead.
He feels a weight rest against his side. Looking, he finds Kanao resting her head to the side of his shoulder with an arm wrapped around his. Her worry noticeable.
"I don't want to go..." Her wrap tightening slightly.
No answer comes from the brother as he remains focused forward. He closes his eyes going into thought.
Maybe we shouldn't think of it as a day without our parents... His words causing Kanao to look with bewilderment. Instead, treat it as a chance to introduce yourself to the others. That's an idea to get our minds off if it. He finishes looking to the girl.
"Do you think that will work?"
No idea. He shrugs. But it's better than letting it get to us as it has up till now, don't you think?
"... You have a sooner we distract ourselves, the sooner today will be over with." She mutters gaining a nod from Relon.
She then feels her arm lose its grip for a finger to wrap around her own rising to eye level. This causing the girl to look back to him.
No matter what's in our way, we'll get through it together. Right?
Now, Kanao is left speechless. The Las mentioning of their childhood promise being from their reunion during the USJ incident. A gesture holding so much sentiment between the two, Kanao can only nod wiping away forming tears.
"Right!
Finally reaching their school, both remnants notice a rift appear in front of the gate showing the final one of their trio.
"I'm taking a nap when I get in." Is his greeting.
"Whatever works for you, Crono." Kanao responds as the three walk inside, both not arguing with the white-haired teen.
As they make their way through the halls, the dozens of students and parents becomes more and more noticeable as they come closer and closer to their destinations.
All three slowly tensing with every step before stopping in front of the two doors closest to each other's class.
Both Kanao and Nunu feel a hand place itself on their shoulders.
This is the first step. Let's push through it, you guy. Relon speaks, his eyes flashing white before returning to black.
Both looking to him then the other. A resounding nod of agreement from both comes before the three move to open their homeroom door. With no hesitation, they walk inside.
Closing the door behind them, they see about half their class accounted for.
"Todoroki, Midoriya, Iida, Jirou, Uraraka, Bakugou, Mina, Tsuyu, and Tokoyami are currently present." Kanao comments.
Midoriya and who seems to be his mom are talking with Uraraka and whom I can only guess be her parents. Todoroki is off by himself as is Iida.
Now that I think about it, Iida has been rather quiet since the sports festival. He seemed fine after his loss so could something have happened while I was unconscious? Midoriya is closer to him than I am so I should let him take care of that.
Tokoyami seems to be in thought like along with who I'm guessing is his dad. His dad seems to have feathers instead of human skin so I guess that explains the genetics since his mom looks as human as can be. She seems to be talking to the both of them about something.
Bakugou seems to... be arguing with his mom? Yeah, they're arguing. And the dad is trying to calm them down. And she just cold cocked him upside his head. And he's cursing. And now his dad is holding her back as Deku holds back Bakugou...
"Honestly, I am not surprised seeing this." Kanao sweatdrops as does Relon, the two now at their seats.
Both glance from the Katsuki Family to their remaining friends all together as their parents converse.
"Lucinance, Kanao, come over here!" Mina calls with a wave.
Is she feeling better now? He wonders, the two following suite.
"Good morning, ribbit."
"Good morning, Tsuyu, Jirou, and Mina." Kanao greets, Relon giving a 'sup' gesture.
"Momo didn't come with you guys?" Jirou wonders to gain a shake from both.
"Yaoyorozu wanted us to go on ahead as she mentioned taking care of some business. As to what, I do not know." Kanao answers.
"I'm sure she'll be here soon enough."
I hope so. Relon thinks to himself.
As the four girls chatter, he glances at their parents. Two obviously Tsuyu's just from their appearance. One man has wavy shoulder-length light-gold hair and triangular eyes. The woman next to him honestly looks like a mixture of Jirou and Momo. She has short, dark purple hair with bangs falling to the right side of her face and wears glasses. The only other proof of her being Jirou's mother is her plug-like earlobes.
Then there's the last two adults. The slightly dark skinned man has a noticeable muscular physique through his white dress shirt with black eyes and a buzz cut. The father seeming to be around 6'2. The woman next to him has a normal skin tone like many other Japanese civilians, yellow eyes and straight pink shoulder-length hair. Her height seeming to match Relon's.
So those're the girls' parents. It sounds like they're talking about their academics. Then again, that is the point of today...
Lost in his own thoughts, he fails to notice Mina's father take notice.
"Can I help you?" His deep voice snapping Relon out of it as he quickly shakes looking back to the group of girls, the father's words having gotten the other parents' attention as well for them to turn towards the five students.
"Don't be shy. He won't bite, I promise you." The woman reassures, Relon scratching the back of his head nervously.
The girls now looking between the arising situation.
"What's wrong? Cat's got your tongue?" Jirou's father asks, Relon shaking his head.
"Could it be... you don't talk?" Her mother wonders, Relon nodding quickly for his eyes to move back to Mina's father.
"So then you must be that mute boy Mina is always blabbing on about." He states, Mina's eyes widening while her father leans forward getting a good look at Relon.
"D-dad! " Mina shouts, a blush apparent as is one on Relon.
Yet to everyone's shock, the father extends his hand.
"Mina told me you protected them during that villain attack. Words can't express my gratitude for keeping my cotton candy safe. So, thank you."
But I...! Relon turns to Kanao but to further his stunned state, she has a hand on her lips. Kanao... He turns back to the Mina's dad.
Grasping the father's hand, he flicks his free wrist revealing a card holding it up for the adults to read.
'I just did what a hero in-training would do. I couldn't have done it without my sister and Aizawa-Sensei, though. They were a big help.'
"Then I thank you and your sister. I'll let your teacher know as well." Her father chuckles.
"As do I." Her mother agrees, both bowing to the teens' surprise.
"I think we all can agree on that, ribbit." Tsuyu's father chimes in.
"That indeed we do, croak. Tsuyu mentioned saving her so you have our gratitude as well." Her mother add, both frog parents bowing.
"Mom. Dad, ribbit."
"Kyouka told the day of the attack how you went through villain after villain." Jirou's mother chuckles.
"M-mom!"
"It was like she was playing her first instrument all over again." Her father mentions.
"Q-quiet, will ya?!" Jirou shouts with a blush.
"Thank you. And to your sister as well for keeping our little girl safe." The music family bows as well.
Relon can only look on at the parents, his mouth agape like the rest of the group. Even if words could be said, he wouldn't be able to form any let alone think of. None of the group could in that moment.
All he knew was this sense of pride in the actions taken to gain their gratitude was a feeling well worth it.
So this is what gratitude towards being a hero is... I could get used to it. Wait, Mina's dad said she's always babbling about me. Does that mean she talks about me on a daily basis? If so, what about? Glancing to the pinkette, he notices her pink cheeks a red shade as she calms herself down now going at it with her dad light-heartedly. Could she...? Nah, I doubt it. A better question is has she gotten over that funk of hers or is she just putting on a charade still? Kanao can tell so I'll check with her later on that matter.
"Lucinance!" Said boy nearly jumping from his seat to look to the source calling his name.
"You really weren't joking about thinking too much, huh?" Jirou jokes, this causing Relon to mentally groan lower his head in more embarrassment as his friends and their parents laugh.
Holding up the card, he twirls a finger.
'Sorry, what's up?' He looks back up.
"I was wondering where Momo was. It's rare seeing you and Kanao come to school without her."
'She mentioned having some business to attend to this morning so she said to go ahead without her.'
"I hope everything's alright."
At her words, the door near the front of the room opens gaining the group's attention and in comes the girl at topic along with a maid.
The woman looks to be in her early 40s. She has clean blonde hair tied into a single bun behind her head with a bang ending at her chin on both sides. She has yellow eyes and pink lipstick on her bottom lip.
From their expressions, both seem to be bothered about something. Momo more aggravated while the maid looks for concerned for the student. Both stationing at her desk, Momo taking a seat and the maid standing at her right side. The onyx-eyed girl now going into a thinking posture, her brows furrowing more.
"Well, speak of the devil." Jirou comments nonchalantly with a hand under her chin.
"She seems upset, ribbit."
"I wonder what's got her all moody." Mina wonders, her and the girls looking to Relon.
The boy returning with a shrug as all turn back to said girl.
She's upset. That much is obvious. As for why... His eyes linger from Yaoyorozu up to the maid at her side. She said she had business to attend and she never talks about her parents so... Could it have to do with the Parent-Teacher Conference?
"There goes Lucinance lost in thought again." Jirou quips.
"He's been doing that more often. I'm starting to worry." Kanao adds, their words snapping him from his thoughts once more.
Looking to Kanao with a tilt, both remnants gaze at the other before the sister speaks up.
"I agree." Is her only response, Relon standing to his feet.
"Wait, what do you agree on?" Mina wonders as they watch Relon walk to the girl.
Noticing something from her peripheral, the maid turns to be met with Relon.
"May I help you?" She asks, her voice neutral as is her expression now.
Hearing these words, Momo snaps from her thoughts to look to the source finding her boyfriend.
"Oh, Relon. I'm sorry I didn't say anything coming in. I have a lot on my mind." He waves it off bowing to the maid.
"So you are the one dating Ms. Yaoyorozu. It is a pleasure to finally meet you." She returns the bow, both hands in front pointed downwards as the two raise up. "I am Lillith Tenderwood. The caretaker for the Yaoyorozu's establishment as well as the young mistress' guardian when the Mr. and Lady Yaoyorozu are away."
Lillith Tenderwood. That doesn't sound Japanese yet she looks it. Aside from that, it seems my guess on Momo's attitude being related to today's meeting was spot on or more so her parents. Relieving a card from his sleeve, he releases it to float in place for words to appear before the maid.
'The pleasure is all mine ma'am. My name is Relon Lucinance as you are already know.'
"Yes, the mistress always has you as a favored topic for discussion."
"L-Lillith!" Momo exclaims blushing. "That isn't true."
"My apologies." She bows in forgiveness before looking back to Relon. "But she does speak of you a lot." She reaffirms, her tone slightly jovial even.
"Lillith!" Momo exclaims once more, her redness deepening as the maid stifles her laughter. "You can be too much at times, I swear." Momo pouts with crossed arms looking away.
"Relon, I apologize- What is it?" Looking to her boyfriend, she notices him grinning with a hand on his hip in a relaxed posture.
Spinning a finger, she reads the hovering card.
'That expression better suites you.'
"I must agree with him, mistress." Lillith comments with a grin of her own.
Reading this, her mouth becomes slightly agape to close as does her eyes. Taking a internal sigh, a small smile makes itself known on the creation quirk-user.
"You always know what to say when I need it. I need to figure that out for when you need it." She looks back to Relon who shakes his head twirling a finger once more.
'You already have. I've just been too stubborn to accept it at times till now.'
"That's a fact." She laughs, Relon rolling his eyes.
Lillian looks between the couple interact with each other. A small smile visible.
In no time at all, he was able to lift her spirits. I see the things you have said about this boy were true, Yaoyorozu.
She takes note of the girls join in looking on at the group as does their own parents, the whole class soon present along with their parents and guardians.
"A maid! Finally! I knew today would be worth it!" Mineta cheers Kaminari."
"This is totally the best!" The electricity-user agrees, both seeming to puff steam out their noses checking out Lillith.
"Ahem." Both immediately go wide-eyed as they slowly turn to see Jirou with arms crossed.
With a single strike of her jacks at their ears, both boys are done for. Looking at the two downed boy, she and their mothers can only shake in disapproval. Their fathers facepalming.
In the back corner of the room at his seat is Relon and seating on the side if his desk with her back to the window is Momo.
"Seems everyone is enjoying themselves, don't you think?" She comments, Relon turning to look around at their classmates and families.
Gazing to the other side of the room, he sees Jirou return to all of the girls excluding Momo and Uraraka. The five watching Mineta and Kaminari get an earful from their mothers.
Focusing his attention to another group consisting of Aoyama, Sato, Kouda, Hagakure, and Ojiro along with their parents. He hears them talking about cooking recipes.
Shifting once more, he sees Tokoyami and Shoji talking about the Sports Festival with their parents.
Continuing his pan of the room from right to left, he stops near the front of the room where Bakugou, Sero, and Kirishima chatting. Or, the latter of the two poking fun at Bakugou to shout at them causing his mother to stop her conversation with Midoriya's mom knocking Bakugou upside his head which in turn starts another argument between the two. Much to everyone's nervous amusement except the two insinuates.
Finally reaching the portion directly ahead of him, Relon eyes Midoriya, Uraraka, and even Iida seeming to have lightened up, the three chatting.
Good to see Iida cheered up as well. Hopefully that'll remain. Relon thinks glancing to a laughing Mina.
"It seems Lillith has taken a liking to you." Looking to Momo, he tilts his head to then look to the podium seeing said maid speaking with Aizawa-Sensei.
Looking back to Yaoyorozu, he gives her a questioning look.
"Lillith has always been there for me since I was little when my parents started working away from home. She's like a second mother to me you could say. She doesn't act nice like that to many people so you seem to have made a good impression." Relon raises his head to lower it mouthing an 'ah.'
A second passing before a silent chuckle comes from the teen.
"Now what's funny?" We waves a hand dismissing himself. "No, you're telling me this time, Relon." She smirks to him for the boy to tap his desk, words appearing.
'I didn't know I'd be meeting your 'mom' so soon.'
Reading this, she let's out a laugh before covering her mouth holding in the rest of her giggles following.
"It wasn't on purpose, I swear!"
She wipes away a tear forming at the corner of her eye as she catches her breath only to notice Relon looking at her still smiling but seeming to show... concern.
Her laughter soon dies out as she allows a sigh to escape her, Momo's head dropping to gaze at the words on his desk.
'What's going on, Momo?'
Relon gazes to the girl he has developed feelings for remain silent before finally speaking as she lifts up gazing to Lillith.
"I didn't want to say this because of the situation you three are dealing with. I'd sound selfish if I had which was why I told you to go on ahead of me. But that doesn't matter to you, does it?" Just as soon as her question ended, he immediately follows with a shake in agreement.
A wry smile comes across Momo as she keeps her eyes locked on her guardian.
"Simply put, Mom and Dad were too busy to come see how I was doing." Her words causing Relon to furrow his eyebrows then raise them. "That seems like the reaction I expected." She comments looking out the corner of her eye to Relon, their eyes meeting before she shifts back ahead as does Relon.
"It's always been business for them ever since I was a child."
Tap.
Her eyes shift downwards reading the reformed text.
'Does have to do with your parent troubles.'
Snapping her head to him, she speaks keeping in mind her location.
"How did you know?!"
His response is an index finger pointing down repeatedly.
'From our date. You took me to places where you mentioned going with your family at one point. Considering you still go to those places even now, not to mention having known you for three weeks going on a month now to have you almost never comment on your parents like me and the others, and considering today, the answer just opened up.'
Now the one with her mouth agape, Momo remains stunned. Relon reaches out to lift her chin with his hand closing her mouth which gets the girls out of her stupor to look in disbelief at her boyfriend.
"I always thought Kanao was the perceptive one but I guess I was wrong about that one." Relon shakes his head tapping the desk.
'I'm observant while Kanao is perceptive. Both words mean the same but I tend to pay attention to the small details or the words between the lines you could say. Kanao goes off of a similar trait but she tends to understand things simply from seeing or hearing it as I tend to deeply understand it if that makes sense.'
"So... like a Venn Diagram? You both have your own unique traits but a majority are the same in a sense?" He snaps his fingers nodding in approval at the comparison.
He watches Momo give another small smile from the corner of her mouth before looking once again to Lillith and Aizawa-Sensei.
"I guess that's one thing we have in common. We both have family troubles. Considering my parents are too busy to pay any attention to their only daughter aside from the incident at the USJ which they didn't both to even come home. Instead, they just called worried about me and went back to business."
Tap.
Looking down, she reads the words inscribed on the desk.
'There could be more to the story than you're aware of. Just a point to take in.'
"What can be more important than their own daughter?" She sulks leaning her body to rest the side of her head on his shoulder ignoring the slight uncomfort.
Relon thinks for a moment before tapping once more.
'I don't know. What I do know is unlike us remnants, you can still fix the problem between yourself and your parents. You just have to figure out how.'
"That's easier said than done. They're almost always busy." She says, her eyes remaining on the changing words.
'Life is never easy. If it was, how could we as humans grow?'
"... Fair point."
'Don't forget, you have me to help.'
"Thanks Relon." She mutters.
He shrugs relaxing in his chair. Out if nowhere, he feels something gentle press itself against his cheek.
Looking to Momo, he sees her pull away still holding that small smile. Heat quickly rising to his cheeks.
"Mistress, I shall be returning to the mansion now." Lillith states having returns. "Oh, am I interrupting something?"
"No, not at all. Thank you again, Lillith."
"It is my duty to serve and assist you in anyway possible. I shall await your arrival at the residency. Lucinance, it was a pleasure to finally meet you." She bows to both before taking her leave, Aoyama's parents going next.
Glancing to Relon, she stifles her laughter.
"You're still blushing." She teases for Relon to turn away, his cheeks becoming a darker shade.
In doing so, he notices Todoroki all alone.
Endeavor's his parent so he must be busy with hero work, but what about his mom? Relon eyes the whole room filled with Class 1-A. He's the only one by himself.
Momo tales notice of Relon's gaze tracing it to her next-seat neighbor. Relon turns to the the girl he's developed feelings for. She nods.
"Todoroki." She calls gaining the dual quirk-user's attention. "Why nit come sit with us." Momo calls while Relon pats the side of his desk.
Thinking for a moment, he nods carrying his seat over to the duo. Before he can say anything, he sees Relon tap on the desk.
'What's on your mind, Todoroki?'
He remains silent looking down at the words, his eyes remaining still as if looking past the text.
"The signs were there. I was too blind to see them." He speaks up.
So that's what on his mind.
"What do you mean?" Momo asks, Todoroki looking to her before setting his sights on Relon.
"You know, don't you?" Relon giving a single small nod as Momo looks confused.
"My fight with Midoriya opened my eyes." He begins, turning his head to Midoriya chatting with the others.
"Towards using your fire I presume?" Momo asks.
"Yeah. Ever since Lucinance came, there were times I was faced with a wall I could have overcome had I used it." He raises his fire-using hand to glance to Relon. "You were the first to tell me that. Though it was before we learned about your past. You said things could have been different." Relon nods for him to continue as Relon speaks low. "When you said things could have ended differently, did you honestly mean that?" Momo blinking at the question to look to Relon, both boys- eyes locked on the other's.
Relon nods before tapping.
'I wasn't planning on using either forms at the time had you used your fire. So I honestly do think the outcome may have been different.'
"I see..." He grows quiet shifting back to Midoriya, both looking at him with their heads tilted.
"You were the one to break the first lock on my vengeful heart and Midoriya was the one to snap me from my stubbornness. I've thanked him but I haven't you... So thanks." He looks to Relon only for the black-haired teen to smile shaking his head tapping the desk.
'I didn't do anything. All I did was give a suggestion to you.'
Before a situation similar to ours happened and you wind up regretting it that is. Relon thinks.
"Sometimes you're too honest, Relon. You should just accept his thanks." Momo sighs with a chuckle.
Rubbing the back of his head, he relents looking back to Todoroki but stops seeing his still perturbed expression.
"Is something else wrong Todoroki?"
"Yeah. My damn old man, that's what." He coldly states looking back at the text on Relon's desk.
Furrowing his eyebrows, Relon taps the desk.
'What about Endeavor? Does it have to do with the Parent-Teacher Conference?'
"No." He looks back to Relon. "It has to do with you and the others." A red flag going off in Relon's head as the teen glances to Kanao over with the girls.
Both students watch as Relon's eyes transition from black to white.
"Relon, you- She is interrupted by a raised hand.
It's fine, Momo. I promise. Whatever the cause to that was didn't involve Eramsus Mode.
"How can you be sure?" Momo asks taking notice of Kanao make her way over having sensed Relon.
You can feel it, can't you two? The sensation emanating from just 1%. It's too pure to be evil. I'm sure of it.
"... Alright. If you believe that to be the case, then so do I."
Just as her sentence finishes, Kanao arrives taking a seat at her desk turning the chair to face the last free side of Relon's desk. Relon reverting to normal upon her arrival.
"Has something occurred?" She asks, her tone slightly serious, Relon nodding for Todoroki to pick up.
"Before my match with Midoriya, He attempted to coerce me into giving information on you and Nunu." He looks to the two remnants, fists balled. "He made a comment about using his connects to find out more. That was all he mentioned to my knowledge. I just felt like you should guys should know."
"So, that is what made him want to he stop by the infirmary." Momo comments going into thought, Relon and Todoroki widening at her statement.
"Yes, but to think he would use his own son to pry information on us..." Kanao mutters copying Momo's posture.
"Wait, he came to you guys?!" Todoroki quietly seethes through his teeth.
Tap.
'When did this happen?
"While you were unconscious." Kanao answers being careful of her wording with Todoroki.
"What did he say?"
"He was simply commenting on the three's 'quirks' and how they would be useful to society when Kanao pointed out he was referring to his own personal gain." Momo answers the white and red-haired teen, Relon sitting back in his seat.
So Endeavor is interested in us, huh? Kanao and Nunu must not have felt the need to tell me since Endeavor won't be able to get much information on us. Right? He thinks glancing to Kanao, his step-sister nodding slightly having read his facial expression. Thought so.
"That bastard! He'll go to whatever lengths to get what he wants." Shoto grits his teeth in anger to feel a hand rest on his shoulder.
Looking to his left, he sees Relon with a reassuring expression. Calming down, he looks between the two.
"You don't seem very worried considering you just found this out. Is there a reason why?" Relon nods holding up a single finger to rotate it in a circle.
'Government.'
"You think they'll be able to keep a lid on your... 'past?'"
Relon nods.
"They are the only ones who know aside from those of Class 1-A, the few teachers including All Might, and Principal Nezu." Kanao comments.
"I don't think anyone would tell of your pasts so I think we are safe for now."
"Even if Endeavor were to somehow find out, the government would deal with him accordingly."
"Bastard deserves whatever he has coming for snooping in business he doesn't belong."
Tap.
'That bad with your father?'
"Yeah. That bad." He blandly states rising to his feet.
Tap.
'Hopefully it'll get better as time goes on. In the meantime, you should prove to him that you're stronger than us.'
This making his eyes widen.
"How could you...?" Relon takes out a card from his sleeve giving it to Todoroki.
"Someone such as Endeavor only looks to what he deems strong which from his point of view would only seem of interest should someone be stronger than you; his son." Kanao answers.
"That... makes a lot of sense." Momo states slightly taken back.
"The sad part is you're not wrong." Todoroki mumbles, Relon swirling a finger for the three
'Regardless, we're all getting stronger. The Sports Festival showed that. And we're only going to continue to improve.'
"I couldn't agree more."
"Neither could I."
"... Yeah." Todoroki responds before standing. "Well then, I'm heading back to my seat." He stops to see Relon hold out a card for him to take it.
'What made you say yes to sitting with us?'
...
"I felt like I should tell you guys what I know. Why do you ask?"
He stops noticing Relon twirl a finger.
'Then I feel like you don't have to leave.' Todoroki's eyes widen once more.
Relon glances to Momo before twirling his finger to continue.
'I don't mean to sound like I'm being a nuisance, but being alone to think up a solution to your problem tends to take longer compared to being with friends.'
Third time. In the span of 15 to 20 minutes, Todoroki has widened his his for the third time having to look to a sincere-looking Relon for confirmation on what he just stated with the text.
"What did you just call me?"
'A friend. I don't like to assume things so I'm kinda hoping we are. We are, right?'
Once again, that word was used to describe the ice and fire boy. Friend. Hearing Midoriya call him that gave a warm feeling in his heart that he was unaware of. Yet, here it was again. Relon had just called him a friend and this feeling was back.
Todoroki couldn't take a guess at what it was exactly but it holds... familiarity. It was there but he couldn't tell. Yet it was something he knew he'd figure out.
Within his thought process, the son of the 2nd ranked hero notices movement to refocus on Relon, his fist extended. A smirk graces the pro hero son's face as he returns the first bump.
"Yeah. We are and I'll keep in mind what you said." He heads back to his seat, his mood seeming lighter as if a large amount of stress that was weighing him down simply vanished.
"What was that about?" Momo asks.
Relon looks to the girls tapping his desk.
'Just confirming something with Todoroki.' He answers bobbing his head side-to-side.
"You want to divulge what exactly?" Momo wonders, Relon gaining a childish look on the idea. before shaking his head grinning. "Alright then. Kanao?"
"Shinn is happy to have confirmed Todoroki as a friend." She blatantly answers giving a grin of her own, Relon with his jaw dropped.
Kanao, you traitor!
"Alright, let's see..." The three turn their gazes to Aizawa.
As they do, Relon realizes that ALL of the parents have disappeared leaving the whole of Class 1-A as it would normally seem, Kanao and Momo realizing this as they return to their proper seats. As they do, the three all have the same three questions: When did the parents leave? How did Aizawa get through them all that fast? And finally, how did none of them notice?!
The class watches as Aizawa turns to the board, Relon looking at it for the first time to widen. Written are all of Class 1-A's names with a line through them.
Was that there the whole time?
Aizawa crosses out Bakugou's name as he continues his thoughts aloud.
"Bakugou is done, so that leaves..." Relon glances to his classmates' names.
All crossed out except for one reading 'The Lucinances.'
Wait, why are our names up there?
Keeping his eyes to the board, he notices some of the others holding confused expressions of their own. Momo cutting her eyes to said boy and his sister unknowing of what to say.
Wait, Iida's and Todoroki's names aren't up there... Relon begins in thought.
So, why are ours? Kanao finishes her thought.
Everyone including the remnants look to Aizawa in confusion.
"Just you two." He finally finishes glancing to said survivors.
"Aizawa-Sensei, what exactly are you talking about?" Deku asks.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Everyone turns to the door up front, silence filling the room. Kanao and Relon giving one another a questioning look to focus on the door, the sister's eyes widening. Relon sees this to look in the same direction.
"That's what." He answers. "Come in." He calls.
The door opens, everyone watching with anticipation as a beautiful woman looking to be in her late 20's walks in, her elegance with every step leaves the class speechless. Taking a stand next to Aizawa at the podium, she gazes at the class, her eyes fall upon the two remnants.
With smooth looking skin standing at 5'8, she has black pupils with pink irises. Yet, her most notable trait has to be her hair. Looking from behind, one would think it's just wavy hair ending halfway down her back. But from the front, the sides of her hair remain black only to become a magenta color on the inside towards the end.
She is wearing a purple T-shirt with a black cardigan overtop with black pants with black multi-strap sandals.
The scrapping of chairs catches the class as they see the two remnants rise to their feet looking at the woman buck wide. This only being noticed by those of their inner group
"Eeeeeeeeh! She's gorgeous!" Hagakure squeals.
"Who's the woman?" Bakugou questions.
"Are you a parent? If not, can I be your son?!" Mineta flatly asks in a bargaining manner.
Everyone looking to him with a deadpanned look, Tsuyu getting up to move to the front of her desk pulling out rope.
SMACK!
With a whip of her tongue, Mineta is out could, tied up, and taken to the window, Hagakure opening it for the frog girl as she ties the rope dropping Mineta dangling against the side of the building.
Returning to their seats, everyone refocuses on the beautiful woman as if Mineta was never hear. The only signs being Tsuyu slapping her hands against each other.
Who is she? The squad thinks in wonder looking to the standing Relon and Kanao, both with looks of pure disbelief and then to the woman.
Smiling without a care in the world, the woman speaks up.
"What's wrong you two? It's like you've seen a ghost. It's only been two weeks since you last saw me. Don't tell me you missed me that much?" She wonders with a playful yet caring tone.
Looking to Relon, the class notices his arm and eye start twitching as he shoots his hand pointing to the door before walking out the class leaving Kanao to blink in repetition between the woman and her now gone brother.
"Oh boy, I figured this would be his reaction." She sighs smiling with a hand on her cheek. "We'll be right back. Come with us, Kanao." She motions with the hand opening the door, Kanao still blinking nods dumbly quickly heading to the front following the woman.
"What just happened?" Jirou wonders.
"I have no idea." Kaminari answers.
"Aizawa-Sensei, who was that woman?" Shoji asks.
"I'll wait for her to introduce herself. In the meantime..." He crouches into his sleeping bag. "Sleep mode: On."
...
"Well, okay then." Sero shrugs.
Walking out of the class, Relon walks quickly to the door with a sign above reading Class 1-B. Wasting no time, he opens it gaining the whole class and any remaining parent's attention as well as Vlad King's.
Moving down an isle to the back corner where the windows are, his eyes meet Monoma's surprised one. Though Relon pays him no mind walking past to stop at Nunu's desk behind him.
Ignoring the teacher's call, he looks to Nunu with his head buried in his arms as he sleeps soundly on the desk. Shaking him with some violence, Nunu snaps up looking around.
"Huh? What?" He turns to see who's rustling him to see Relon and from his expression, he knew something was up. "Did Yaoyorozu and you finally give each other y'alls V-card?" He gasps, Relon once again going buck-eyed about to hit his step-brother but quickly disregards that blushing profusely as he drags Nunu out of the class.
"H-hey! Where are you taking me?! Damn it, I'll be back Vlad-Sensei!" He shouts closing the door. "Now what did you-
He stops becoming equally as wide along with his siblings as he stares at the woman.
"We're going to the roof." Is all he states, the three leading the woman to their destination, most of Class 1-A peering over one another out the door at the leaving group.
"Do you think that's their mom?" Sato wonders at the very bottom of the stacked teens.
"Could be, but wait. Didn't Kanao and Nunu lose their memories?" Ojiro mentions atop the amateur cook.
"Only Lucinance remembers his past..." Hagakure answers atop the martial artist, the boy.
"Wait, could that be his mom then?!" Kaminari wonders above Deku. "Hey, YaoMomo, do you know? You're dating him and all." He looks over to Momo with the squad.
"That's..." She begins though her words falter, her perturbed expression remaining. "I... don't know." She answers, the class looking with odd looks before talking amongst themselves.
"She could be their guardian since... you know..." Uraraka comments
"That's what I was thinking..." Jirou agrees.
"Maybe she works with the government..." Midoriya mumbles.
"She seems to know them on a decent level with how she was talking too..." Mina adds.
The five look to the door with one thought in mind; Who is she?
Closing the door behind him, the three look to the woman bask in the sunlight, her arms out.
"It's such a warm day oooooouuut." She says stretching.
Rolling her neck, she walks to the edge glancing at the wonderful view through the fence.
"This is a nice spot. I'm guessing you three come here often?" She looks back to the three gazing at her. "Okay, why are you three giving me that look?" She fully turns around placing her hands against her hips, her jovial tone unwavering. "Is it really that surprising that I'm here?"
"Yes!" Both Kanao and Nunu answer, Relon giving a firm, single, nod.
"Geez, and here I thought I was welcome." She sighs pouting averting her eyes. "I am technical your guardian." She comments now crossing her arms.
"Yes, but..." Kanao starts, the topic being a bother obvious.
"But you took us off guard with this." Nunu flatly states. "Didn't you guys state you'd tell us when you would be stopping by? What happened to that?" Nunu questions with crossed arms.
"Well... I may have beaten him to the punch in getting some time off so I thought I would surprise you three but I see that wasn't my best move." She sighs once more.
"We know you're trying to guilt trip us."
"Is it working?" The woman asks.
The three look between one another, Relon keeping his gaze on the woman before closing his eyes tapping the ground.
'I'm not mad that you showed up, more so shocked. But I would appreciate you not surprise us on a day like this, Ms. Lyria.'
"And I would appreciate that you stop calling miss."
'Old habits die hard. You did raise us for two years.'
"Except that isn't a habit. That is a clear choice you're choosing to use for the situation, Shinn." She retorts, the three remnants eyeing the Lyria with serious looks as she keeps her gaze on Relon.
After a moment, Lyria bursts into a small fit of laughter as the others sigh shaking their heads, the three except for Nunu walking to the middle embracing in a warm group hug. All three look to Nunu with deadpan expressions.
"No."
"Crono."
"Can't make me."
"I could always do... that." Lyria suggests rolling her eyed slowly.
Faster than Kanao in Malevolence Form or Relon in Eramsus Mode, Nunu joins the embracing trio, said trio chuckling at the boy.
"Aye, come on y'all, group hug!" He nervously demands, the other following suit.
"It's great to see you again, Proffes- Lyria." Kanao corrects softly, after a moment they let go. "Your hair looks gorgeous."
"And you're wearing contacts. Gotta admit, looks good."
"Thank you and same goes for you, Kanao. You too, Nunu. And of course, I can't forget about Shinn." She looks to each, then to Relon.
"You're still calling him by his codename. Don't tell me you're-
"Yes." She interrupts Nunu. "I still do. I can't forgive myself for what I've done to any of you."
"But it's not your fault!" Kanao shouts to realize her outburst before toning it down. "None of us blame either of you for what happened."
"Even so, this is something we must live with regardless. Just as Shinn lives with his burden, Fyce and I must live with ours. You understand, don't you Shinn?" The three look to see him with his eyes closed.
Opening them, he shows a solemn expression nodding.
"But..." Kanao begins, her words quickly faltering.
"Don't worry about it, Kanao. Let's not make today anymore depressing than it already is. So!" She claps, her voice suddenly upbeat as the three notice where she's going to turn facing the door. "You two can come out! We know you're there~." She calls, a moment passes for the door to open as two students step out.
Standing before the four are Momo and Mina.
"Haha, we really can't hide from you guys, huh?" She scratches her head nervously.
"You should know that by now, Mina." Kanao replies.
"Good point but..." Her eyes shift to the mysterious woman.
"We do not intend to come across as rude, but who are you? You're certainly not Relon's mother." Momo speaks, Lyria raising her eyebrows glancing from the ponytailed girl to Relon.
"At least not from what the picture shows." Mina quips.
"So, you showed them that?" Relon gives a firm nod for Lyria to smile. "You really are changing. And right before our eyes too."
Tap.
'Sorry.'
She smirks walking beside him placing a hand to ruffle his hair.
"Jeez, you're still apologetic as ever. There's no need to be let alone say it as long as you recognize your mistake. Understand?" He remains unrespinsive before tapping his foot
'Yes ma'am.'
She twitches her ear as her hand that was once messing up his hair now goes to take hold of his cheek, the same cheek Momo had slapped last night.
"Who are you calling ma'am, huh? I'm still quite young, you know?!"
Ow, ow, ow! Okay! Okay! He mentally complains in pain tapping his foot repeatedly on the ground.
'I'm sorry, honest! Lyria, come on!'
She lets go after reading the inscribed text on the roof floor, a satisfied smile can be seen. Relon holding his red cheek.
"Good. That goes for you too as well, 'kay?" Both standing at attention, Nunu sweatdropping.
"Yes, Lyria!" Both salute, the woman giving a cheeky smile.
"What just happened?" Mina whispers to Momo, both having seen the whole event unfold.
"I... have no clue." She states.
"No then!" Both girls refocus as the woman claps. "I never did answer your question, no did I?"
"That's right."
"Well, let's head back to the class so we can all have this taken care of, shall we?" She suggests leaving none to answer as she walks to the door smilimg to the two.
"Who is she?" Mina asks again looking to the three walking remnants.
"You're about to find out." Nunu answers, the five following the woman.
"Are you okay?" Momo asks with concern to Relon still rubbing his cheek who gives a nod.
"You guys seem close with that lady."
"You have no idea." Nunu says.
"Although, that is a good term to describe our relationship." Kanao adds.
"Now, before we enter, if you two have anything you wish to say, you can ask me later, 'kay?" Lyria peers over her shoulder at the teens gaining their sudden attention, the girls nodding as they all stop at the closed doors of Class 1-A. "Now then, I'll be with you soon Nunu." Said boy groans heading into Class 1-B. "Shall we?" We asks at the right door with the others at the left, Relon nodding with his hand on said door.
Both slide open, everyone situated throughout in their group look as their missing classmates come back as well as the mysterious woman.
"Aizawa-Sensei, they're back." Hagakure calls out.
Eraser Head's eyes pop open before resuming his groggy look as he escapes his yellow sack.
"I'll be back, my love."
"Um, sensei? Did you just talk to your sleeping bag?" The invisible girl questions.
"Yes I did. Your point?"
How do we respond to him calling it 'his love?! The class thinks as he walks to the front with Lyria at tye podium.
"Are we ready now?" He asks.
"Yes we are." Lyria states leaning over propping her elbows on the podium resting her chin on the back of her intertwined fingers looking to the class.
What is Lyria doing? Why is she staring at everyone? Her eyes fall unto Momo, the girl straightening in her seat at the notice of being observed before Lyria hums moving on from her.
Her eyes look on to the rest before falling on Mina.
Why is she looking at me for?
A smirk slowly creeps onto Lyria's face as she shifts from Mina to Momo and then slowly to Relon. Said boy furrowing his brows.
"So, which girl are you dating, Shinn?"
...
...
"Huh?" Both girls mutter.
...
...
Huh? Relon blinks in repetition.
"Hmm?" Lyria hums raising her brows.
"EEEEHHHHHH?!" The class shouts.
"W-we aren't t-t-together! That's YaoMomo and L-Lucinance!" Mina shoots to her feet pointing to the two, her pink face becoming a mixture of pink and red.
"Y-yes, that's right! I'm d-dating Luc- R-Relon!" Momo spouts.
"Oh? Then why are you both stuttering?"
"B-because that question was totally out of the blue!" Mina exclaims.
"Oh, is that so? Or could it be you're both dating him?" She smirks holding a knowing expression for Relon to bury his head hiding the vermilion shade his cheeks are showing off and Kanao cover her ears.
Damn it, Lyria!
The class already at a loss for words can only watch as both girls turn even more red. One could swear their bodies seemed to heat up like a kettle until...
"THAT'S NOT IT AT ALL!" Both scream almost knocking their classroom doors down as their yelling can be heard for miles, Nunu jumping from his sleep looking around with wide eyes.
"The fuck was that?!" He looks around.
"Well now, I guess she is here." Principal Nezu states taking a sip of tea at his desk.
As the class settles down, both girls and Relon glare at the woman.
"Aww, well it was a thought. Considering you both followed us to the roof, but oh well. So Mr. Aizawa, how are Shinn and Kanao doing in class? I don't mind you saying this in front of the class" She looks to the teacher still checking his ringing ears.
After a moment, he stops eyeing the woman before complying with a nod.
"Since becoming apart of Class 1-A, both have showed exemplary skills both in hero training and in their schoolwork. Lucinance more so in hero training and Kanao more with schoolwork although both remain around the same level."
"I see, I see. Do you believe this to be apart of their past at the facility or do you as a teacher see this as an improvement since their time being here." She wonders looking back at said two students, their eyes narrowing as everyone's widens including Aizawa.
"Wait a sec, she knows about that?" Kirishima wonders aloud.
"And she said it so nonchalantly. Who is this woman?" Jirou questions.
"What's her angle here?" Bakugou mutters leaning back so Midoriya can hear him only to shake his head.
"I don't know and I think those two don't know either." Is the broccoli head's only answer.
"Well?" She cuts her eyes to Aizawa still stunned by the question to look to the two in question.
"I believe this to be both options." He states look to Lyria, the woman tilting her head ever so slightly.
"Do tell."
"Both were trained from a young age to be fighters to be blunt. Comparing a school like U.A.'s teaching to what they must have been taught in that place is something I can't tell. What I can tell is there's a considerable gap between them and the rest. A gap that has not been growing closer, but rather... changing."
"How so?"
"To simplify things..." He turns to the board erasing the students' names before drawing a horizontal line with two vertical lines, one line titled "Class A" and another titled "L". "The 'L' stands for the Lucinances." He states writing the date from two weeks ago and then 0 at one end and 100 at the other.
He then rewrites the same picture. The only difference being the two vertical lines are further down the line titling the date as today before looking to Lyria and the class.
"The first picture shows a basic understanding on the difference in strength between the two groups once Kanao first arrived. The second shows the difference now."
"So that's it."
The class understanding perfectly from the drawing.
"Back then, we weren't as strong, but now we're where those two were while they're still ahead of them." Sero states to gain a nod from Aizawa.
"Those two may be stronger than the rest, but it isn't strength alone that has kept them ahead or have pushed the rest to keep up at a steady pace."
"And what would that be?"
"Interactions." The class murmuring to each other. "Over these two weeks alone, both groups have worked with each other in a variety of areas. In doing so, they've assisted others in improving a mt a hastened rate that would have otherwise taken months before any would have realized. Due to this, their participation has only made the class as a whole want to improve further. The Sports Festival is a perfect example of the effects of their interactions. Had Lucinance and Kanao not come to U.A., then many here would not have gotten as far as they did."
"Hmm, that only answers half the question, you know?"
"As for the other... Those two haven't gained any sort of strength from fighting any of their classmates. Nothing that showed an improvement in strength."
"You're not referring to strength though, are you?" He keeps his gaze on the two.
"No. For them, it is simply experiences in different fields and situations that has given them such a growth. Unlike the other 20 students I have to deal with, they did not have such an increase in strength. They increased in knowledge. Kanao especially." At this, the girl perks up.
"Me?" The class glances to said girl before back ahead.
"When you first encountered us, you were with the League and right afterwards, you remained at Lucinance's side. Yet, with each passing day, you inched bit by bit down a different path from your brother's. Seeming to have gained a bond with the the likes of Ashido and Jirou seem to have had a good effect as you began to learn more now that you stepped away from Lucinance's side. Considering what you have been through these last few years, it's only natural. Both of you have gained experiences and ideas from your interactions with your classmates and friends. This has helped you two evolve beyond what you once were. They'll be exceptional heroes in the future should they keep this up. I'm sure of that."
"Is that all?"
"Yes. That is." Both look to the two persons of interest, both remnants flabbergasted as to what to respond with.
Who would have thought Aizawa-Sensei thought of us like that...
Aizawa-Sensei...
"Thank you, Mr. Aizawa. As their guardian, it pleases me to hear such a compliment. Especially from a hero such as yourself." She sets her sights now on Relon. poll
He watches her eyes narrow as she looks on at him.
"Hearing such things spoken about the girls brings a smile to my face." Relon's blood runs cold as both remnants widen.
"Yes I- Wait, did you girls?" Aizawa repeats to her confused.
"Hey, hey! Shinn-kun~." She calls ignoring the homeroom teacher.
Immediately, the class goes on edge, her jovial tone now eerie yet seductive.
No...
"Tell me... " She raises a hand to slowly point at him, Relon shaking his head slowly with horror etched on his face. "Do you miss..." Her finger glows a pink color.
Damn it! He shoots up pulling the window open, a leg on the edge.
"Being a girl?"
Zap.
Honestly cannot thank you all enough for helping me hit 100 follows. I didn't know how many would like the story when I started Academia's Destiny so see so many like it really touches my heart as a writer. I appreciate it all so thank you. So Lyria is back. I'm trying to show her off as the carefree yet serious type so I think I did a good job there. Lemme know what you all thought of the chapter. Any and all feedback is appreciated. Once again, thanks for the 100 follows! Next goal, 100 favs! :)
