HI! I'm still alive. Now, here's the chapter!

(Start of Chapter)
Last time, Mono and Six had gone to Fukuoka City with Aizawa.
Going out of the station, Aizawa decided to take his two students to a clothes shop in a hypermarket and let them enjoy selecting clothes and chatting.
Then, Aizawa met Hawk, who proceeded to ask Aizawa to a meeting with him and Endeavor.
Back for Six and Mono, after choosing their suitable clothes, Mono asked about the Maw out of the blue, to which Six showed complete shock.
However, Six told about her struggle on the ship anyways though it did leave some discomfort in her.
That Mono regretted asking it, so he wants to cheer Six up in exchange for telling her secrets.
Taking a picture with her to memorize the peaceful moment they were having was what he chose.
They were cheerful and hopeful for a new life here.
As for Hawk, he received a call from Dabi about the incoming experiment with a Nomu. More interestingly, Dabi offered him a chance to meet the boss if he could get Mono to him.
Now, he had choices to make.
As a hero, he would never do that. As a double agent, however, getting to meet Shigaraki could be a drastic advantage in defeating the League.
On the highest point of the city, he laid down and thought about that.

(4:35 P.M)
The three heroes look at Mono and Six standing against the Nomu. And they all shockingly seem to be frozen in time.
Hawk tries to help the two teenagers with his feathers, but is taken aback when he loses control of them, which suddenly stop dead in their tracks.
Aizawa tries to break the strange situation by staring at his two students but is confused when no apparent effect seems to befall them.
After a few minutes, Aizawa decides to stop wasting his time and goes to check up on the number 1 hero.
Meanwhile, Endeavor tries to rest on a nearby rooftop.
*Thumb*
He sees Aizawa climbs up.
"Are you fine?" Aizawa asks Endeavor, who has a severely injured right eye thanks to the Nomu. "I'm fine." Endeavor says while laying against a wall, breathing heavily.
"It's gonna take more than a Frankenstein's monster wannabe to take me down," Aizawa observes Endeavor's condition.
Except for the bloody eye, his body has also suffered from overheating.
Moreover, the adrenaline he holds on to during the fight slowly goes away, and he starts to show signs of feeling pain.
*CRACK!
Aizawa tries to help Endeavor by sanitizing the wounds with some alcohol from his first aid when suddenly a resounding crack is heard.
Aizawa, Endeavor, and Hawks are startled by the sudden loud cracking noise coming from the Nomu. As they look at where Six and Mono are, they can see the space around them distort and crack like a shattered mirror.
Then, more and more ruptures appear around them until the scene suddenly shatters into a million pieces.
The black Nomu is sent staggering into the sky from there, with Mono in its guts.
In an instant, Endeavor stands up and propels himself upwards with his fire, hawks following behind him with his previously stuck feathers returning to him.
(2:00 P.M)
Aizawa walked through the busy crowd with Mono and Six following behind.
Six got more amazed the closer they got to the Athena Tower, which stood out for its over-advanced appearance.
She couldn't wait to take a look inside!
Mono, however, looked less interested.
The outline of Athena Tower reminded him of the cursing Signal Tower, and it made him nervous.
However, looking at the excited Six, which he couldn't see very often in the Pale City, Mono slapped his cheeks, which startled Six.
"SHRUG IT OFF!"
He would just keep thinking about the bad experiences if he kept mourning the past.
He needed to focus on one thing.
The moment he and Six were having some deservedly time.
After all, they had gone through.
While thinking about that, Mono heard a small giggle.
Mono looked by his side to see Six gazing at him with curiosity.
"I just get me off some thoughts."
Mono said with a more delighted face, to which Six giggled more before turning back to their destination.
.
The first thing inside the facility was the staircase going down to the main lobby.
However, it looked more like a tourist attraction than a corporation as people here wore either foreign or holiday clothes.
Six wondered why to which Aizawa replied:
"The main lobby is a museum, but our goal is over there."
He pointed at the elevator on the left as he started to walk towards it.
Mono and Six followed him into it.
While going through the crowd, Six saw a very advanced suit in a glass box.
As she read the sign under it, it said: "Minerva MKI."
Six asked Aizawa what it meant.
"It is the first armor that Athena, the founder, created a long while ago."
"Why?"
"Unlike us, Athena doesn't have a quirk, but she has extreme intelligence. And she has to rely on the suit to join combats."
Six showed some interest in listening to Aizawa talking about the person named Athena.
Mono, however, only understood some of the things Aizawa said.
He knew he wasn't the brightest kid.
Yet, by this, Mono knew that Six was more clever than he thought, though he knew how many survival skills and smartness she had when he stayed with her.
However, Mono underestimated her ability to understand this world, making Mono couldn't join the conversation.
That made him feel somewhat awkward.
(2:15 P.M)
After going up to the 20th floor, Six was still curious about Athena and wanted to meet her once if she had the chance.
There's something about this woman that fascinated her.
Suddenly, as Six looked up at the corner behind Mono, she saw a familiar figure on the stairs.
A small humanoid figure with a cone hat.
"A Nome?"
It ran into the corridor after noticing Six looking at them.
Six ran to the Nome.
However, as she reached the corner, Mono grabbed her hand.
"Where are you going? We need to follow him."
Six looked back at the Nome to see it follow a person with a fox mask into a room and felt somewhat familiar with the person's presence before Mono cut it short.
"What's wrong?"
Mono said after trying to look at where Six had seen.
"There's..."
Six stopped as she was about to tell about the Nome.
She wondered if that was just her illusion as since she got here, she had always noticed some Nomes peaking at them at every corner in the dorm.
She tried to seek them out, but they always disappeared before she got them.
At first, Six thought Nomes existed naturally in this world, but Uraraka said she didn't know they were a thing or someone got peaked by such things.
Six knew something wrong with all the Nome.
And seeing the Nome following the person was very surprising as that meant someone was behind and controlling the Nomes.
However, Six didn't want to believe that something in the nightmarish world followed them here though there was a Nome.
"...nothing."
"Nothing?"
"Yes. Nothing. I'm just thinking about how we will get our suit."
Mono looked at his friend, didn't know if she lied or not. However, he let it go as Aizawa suddenly called for them:
"Hey!"
Mono and Six looked at Aizawa, who showed a slight annoyance.
"Let's go. We don't have much time."
The duo went after Aizawa right away as they didn't want to get lost in such a strange place.
Six looked back at the corner to see if the Nome was there, but it wasn't there. While following Aizawa, Six kept thinking about it.
