"You're dismissed Sokudo, and welcome to Class 1-B." Vlad King told Hisako, extending his hand.

"Of course, thank you sir." Hisako said as she shook his hand firmly, catching Vlad King off guard with the strength of it. She left the classroom, heading out onto the gates of UA. She only had to wait a few minutes as Lavanai pulled up in her car. She got in and let out a small sigh.

"How'd it go Hisako?" Lavania asked as she started to begin driving back home.

"It went well, I'm going to be in Class 1-B by next week. They only ran a few tests by me since I was transferring from Shiketsu. I just have some work to do over the weekend to catch up with everyone else." Hisako explained as she looked out the window, watching the buildings pass by so quickly. Her mind drifting to what that strange half-brother of hers is doing.

"That's great! I'm just glad we got that sorted out after all of that paperwork!" Lavania said, derailing HIsako's train of thought. That was another thing that the two had to deal with in Leizcio's absence.

"It's been nearly two weeks since he's been gone. Do you think we'll get him by the end of this week?" Hisako bluntly asked. Lavania gripped the steering wheel a bit more and just sighed.

"All we can do is hope so Hisako. He has to realize soon that this isn't good for him." That was all that Lavania could say as that's what she's been telling herself mentally.

As the two got home and went inside, Hisako headed into her room and just put her backpack to the side of her desk. She lays down on her bed and just ponders. She was also told the multiple things that had happened throughout Leizcio's 'career'. More so, his reputation of having ignorance that could be compared to Mashito's levels of ignorance. Leizcio would just ignore warnings, whether it was from getting scrapped up every night or being told that it's not a good idea from his friend and sister.

There was no denying that he had a heroic spirit, but mix that with a reckless mindset, he doesn't care what happens so long as he gets the job done. And add what Lavania did, trying to take that away, no wonder he's avoided them like the plague.

"This is such a mess." Hisako mumbled to herself, seeing how both siblings are incredibly in the wrong.

"Esperanza! You good in there?" Blink asked as he knocked on his door.

Leizcio starts waking up and looks over to his phone, realizing that he woke up really late. He quickly gets out of bed and uses his speed to change.

"Sorry Blink! I overslept!" Leizcio apologized. Taking a quick glance down, he notices that he has his shirt on the other way around and quickly fixes it.

"It's alright kid, we're going to go out on patrol today so put on your costume! Meet us downstairs when you're ready." Blink told Leizcio as he began to head down. Leizcio closes the door and gets out his suitcase.

"I even forgot to go out on patrol…" Leizcio mumbled to himself as he looked at the vigilante suit under the bed. The hoodie is practically nothing at this point, scratched, burnt up, and dirtied. He sighs, disappointed in himself for not having been out. At least now he can patrol with Blink, and in his hero suit.

"You ready?" Blink asked as he saw Leizcio heading down.

"Yup."

Spectro joins the two and they all head out onto the streets for patrol. Looking around, Leizcio notices how much more populated the place looks in the day compared to night. Even during the night on his vigilante patrols, he saw that it was still lively compared to where he used to patrol.

"Now Esperanza, when one is out on patrol, what should you be looking out for?" Blink suddenly asks, throwing Leizcio for a loop.

"Uhm. Always be on the lookout for any trouble? Like maybe a kid who's lost or that robber over there?" Leizcio said as he pointed to a random mugger who was using his quirk to extend his legs to get away.

"... Yeah those answers are correct. Now, why don't you try capturing him?" Blink says as he hands Leizcio some handcuffs to use. Leizcio nods and chases after the mugger.

"Blink…"

"Yes Spectro?"

"Why are we giving this guy to Esperanza? You're not trying something are you?"

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't. It's just that he seems a little too experienced with this don't you think?" Blink said as he showed Spectro how easily Leizcio managed to capture the villain and return the purse back to its original owner.

"You do realize the kid's quirk right? He's fast." Spectro says, which in turn made Blink sigh.

"And you know my quirk right? I can see him and those moves just scream someone who's done all of this before. I think he might be what I was before, remember?"

"Blink, we can't just assume that he's a vigilante because he's good at this!"

"Fine. But just keep it in mind." Blink advised Spectro as he walked over to the villain that Leizcio caught.

"Guess the bigger they are the harder they fall right?" Blink said which made the villain, Spectro, and Leizcio groan at the horrible attempt of a joke. After turning him in to the police, the three resumed patrol as usual.

"Hey Blink, can I ask you something?" Leizcio asked as there was something he started to wonder about something.

"Sure kid, what is it?"

"Is Spectro your only sidekick?"

"Yeah for the most part. We've known each other since we began hero school back in America. When I told him I was going to Japan, he told me he'd join me. He's practically my brother." Blink explained.

"Aw, you're gonna make me cry." Spectro said sarcastically. The three just ended up laughing from that. The patrol had continued on, Blink permitting Leizcio to catch some muggers and even help down a cat from a tree. He never saw Esperanza to be a cat guy.

"Alright, it's starting to get a bit late, I think it's time we head back to the agency right guys? Blink asks as he finished tying up another villain. Spectro and Leizcio agree and the trio started to walk back to the agency.

Once they got in, they just plopped onto the couch and took a breather.

"Y'know kid, we only have two days until internships are over." Blink brings up.

Leizcio had completely forgotten about that. He's been so caught up in vigilante patrols and training that he's completely lost track of the days. He'll have to end up going back into the warehouse. Not ideal, but in his mind, safer.

"After we're done with internships, I want to train you and your abilities. We already made a lot of progress in five days. Hell, you learned how to double jump! But it's your call kid."

Leizcio is surprised by the offer, but Blink brings up a good point. He managed to learn how to use his quirk in a whole different manner in about a day.

"I'll think about it if that's okay." Leizcio responds, wanting more time to take it into consideration.

"Course kid, just remember, you can always call up the agency. It's just me and Spectro anyways!" Blink said.

As the three got up from where they were sitting, they all went into their own rooms. Leizcio took a minute to just lay down and just be there, laying still. He gets up from his bed but is suddenly met with a painful sting to his legs.

'Shit…' Leizcio muttered as he held onto his leg.

"Beatdown, we got something that you might want to see." A sidekick said from his desk. Mashito approached him, awaiting what information was there.

"That prototype suit, I got some people to hack into its signal and we have it more or less now. Had them watch it for a few days and this is where it should be." The sidekick said, showing his screen to Mashito.

"Good work Dart. Now we can finally start making moves." Mashito said. He walked over to his office, using his phone, he asked for the presence of his most trusted sidekicks. Didn't take long for them to arrive, awaiting orders as if they were soldiers.

"I have good news for us. We know where the kid is now. But we'll have to make our move soon." Mashito stated in a cold voice as he got up from his seat and stood in front of his sidekicks.

"What do you recommend we do then Beatdown?" A sidekick asked.

"Good question Ten. You all are going to be cornering him. When I was shown the suit's status, his vitals have been dropping steadily. I say that we take advantage of that and show him just how powerless he is." Mashito said as he walked back to his desk searching for something.

"But Beatdown, even if he's weakened, he still runs faster than all of us can catch up with, even for me!" Ten says, with the other sidekicks nodding in agreeance.

"I have just the thing that can help with that, but this requires that the plan is carried out safely." Mashito says as he pulls out a box. Opening it, it reveals a strange bullet.

"This right here, it was pretty difficult to get. But luckily, thugs will do anything for the right price." Mashito said as he took the bullet from its case, showing it off to the sidekicks.

"A temporary quirk-removing bullet. There was lots of it going around the market and I got someone to get it for me." Grabbing a gun from his desk, Mashito took the bullet and loaded the gun.

"Shoot the kid, and his quirk will be gone for five minutes. Should be more than enough for you three to give him a lesson that he'll learn from. Do whatever you will, just don't kill him. I need to see him suffer for thinking that his actions can go without consequence." Mashito said with a gritty tone..

"Yes sir!" The sidekicks said as Mashito gestured to them to leave. He stood there in his office, looking out the window of his agency, looking at the city below.

"That damn kid. He takes my suit, ends up dishonoring the family's legacy by being some vigilante. Then takes away my heir to the title. That damn brat is too much like his mother." Mashito told himself, walking back to his desk.

Mashito looks down at the gun before him, smirking, proud of his plan.

"You don't take away what's mine without punishment."
