When Tenya saw the light, he knew what happened.

Whenever Hibiki uses her quirk, there's this cold-ish blue-white light that always accompany it. And that moment, as Akemi's forearm glowed and she cried out, he knew what happened.

"Wait Hibiki, NO—"

The light was gone as soon as it came, and his white haired friend pulls away from the hug, a little wobbly.

"Nerves damages are tricky." was the first words out of her mouth. Tenya was speechless, how could such a person, so kind, so willing to sacrifice herself— Couldn't Hibiki've been born with another quirk? The look on Akemi's face is something he will remember for the rest of his life. That stunned expression of guilt and horror, as Hibiki rose her right hand and wiggled it awkwardly.

"Hibiki... You didn't have to—" Akemi spoke up, stuttering and tears overflowing once again, sobs cracking her voice. "You didn't have to—"

"Enhanced healing, remember?" Hibiki ruffled Akemi's hair, careful not to touch the golden braid that Suzumi-san worked so hard on. "The nerves are gonna heal for me. Plus, Akemi," Hibiki pouted, suddenly unhappy, " I'm kinda disappointed you didn't notice, but I'm left handed, this won't affect me as much."

Akemi chocked out a laugh, and next to him, Hiroi chuckled, albeit a little sadly, before he walked over and pulled the two girls into a hug, Tenya sighed and joined them, Midoriya and Uraraka, too, hesitantly walked over as Tenya nodded to them.

"Oh, Hibiki," He found himself saying, "You're a hero."

There was no disagreement to that.


Akemi went back to Recovery Girl's office for a check-up after that. After all, her medical records have to be updated. Cuts are one thing. But you don't get away with suddenly healed nerves damage that easily.

She of course, dragged Hibiki with her, so the girl can get a little boost in healing those nerves. She might've been left handed, but it's still better to get it over with.

Recovery girl scolded Hibiki for her rash decision, but after Hibiki explained that the decision was made upon her enhanced healing, that she knew could handle the damages and on top of that she was left-handed. The elderly heroine was a little surprised at Hibiki's logic and ability, and when Hibiki had requested to help out in the school infirmary, she had gotten a not-quite yes.

"I'll be heading back to my booth now, then." Akemi smiled as they reached the corresponding corridors to their seats. "See you after the festival?"

"Yeah." Hibiki smiled, "But... Akemi," Akemi looked back, "I know your dad's here, and..." She bit her lip, "What's he gonna do?"

Akemi shook her head.

"I'll handle it." She replied, "Plus, it's not like he can do much when Mum's home, or when he's here, right?"

Hibiki nodded, and she left.

Akemi sighed, and continued her way down the corridor. She didn't walk back to the 1A's booth though. Not yet. She needs time to clear her head.

As she turned a corner near the waiting room, though, she stopped.

A familiar face stared down at her, mouth in that permanent smile that sent chills down her spine.

Well, what's he gonna do?

Guess she's about to find out.


When Katsuki kick opens the door, he wasn't expecting to see Half-n-Half staring back at him, face blank as usual.

Never mind this.

"Shut up!" He yelled in his classmate's face, "I don't—"

Then a muffled scream from several corridors away stopped him dead in his tracks.

"What was that?" Scarface looked alarmed, "That sounded like-"

Before he could hear what he said, Scarface was halfway out the door and rushing down it.

"Oi! Wait up!" Katsuki yelled, "Hey, Half-n-Ha- MUFF!"

A hand covered his mouth, and he stopped. but not because of that.

"No- STOP- Argh!"

That voice-

There was a loud, broken sob and a bang, hinting that something heavy had just hit the wall.

Half-and-half is peeking over the edge of the corner, and pulled back almost immediately. Katsuki frowned and looked towards the end of the hall, where the frame of a door reflected what was going on on the other side—

He almost cursed. Round the corner, on top of a flight of stairs was golden-eyes and a man with a creepy-ass smile. Katsuki watched as he held his classmate up against the wall by her neck, as the girl choked out a sob.

"Let GO, You-"

"Shut up." The man said, shaking his head and pressing a finger to her mouth, "you won't want anyone to see this would you? Because if anyone did, "

Golden-eyes sobbed, just as the hand around her throat tightened and she gurgled.

"I'll have to remove them."

She fell silent. And the creep let her fall to the floor. Golden-eyes gripped at her neck and gasped and coughed on her knees, then struggled to get up.

"You could've won that match."

Golden-eyes glared up towards the man, Katsuki wanted to wrench Half-n-Half's hand off his mouth but he is gripping so tightly he couldn't.

"I could've." Golden-eyes muttered, "but I didn't. And so?"

This time, an unseen force sized her and Katsuki watched with wide eyes as the girl was not thrown, but hauled towards the wall hard enough it left a dent, the muffled scream that followed wasn't pleasant. At all.

"And you didn't win it." This time the man's voice came, taunting and full of pity. "Which means you didn't do something you should've been able to. And this little... Festival, " he chuckled, "isn't it supposedly crucial to gain attention from the heroes? Don't you want to be one?" He sang, and even from here, Katsuki could feel her anger.

"I NEVER wanted to be one." She hissed, "All I want was to live my own life, and choose what I want. It's YOU who decided that I'm a fucking CHESS PIECE in your little game of power you—" she choked up again as the invisible force pressured her into the wall.

"Little game?" The bastard said softly, "Ohh, my darling daughter, this is no little game." Daughter. This is her father God what the fuck this is messed up— " You'll know soon. Power means everything. I have the creative and technological industries, then I have the Hayashi's, and now, I'm going to need you for the Hero Industry." A little laugh. "Don't bother. A little... Ah... Technical difficulties have already shorted out the security cameras here, Akemi, no one will know how you tripped down the stairs this time." A hum, "You tripped down the stairs, okay? Or else would you rather Kōki falls out the window?"

"No You—" there was a heavy crack and scream, the sound of something tumbling down the stairs and Golden-eyes came falling into view, her head hitting the floor with a sickening crack.

Katsuki is staring. Half-n-Half is starting and Golden eyes, curled up on the floor facing them was trembling. Weak and limp and a complete opposite from how she was in their match.

She shakily looked up, barely moving as glazed over golden eyes spotted them and widened slightly. There was footsteps, walking away, and it wasn't until after they're gone, did Half-n-Half move his hand. The teen went rushing to her side, trading her up to check for injuries, and Katsuki found himself silenced.

"What the actual FUCK."

When he finally said something, it was this. He couldn't think. First Scarface and his fake hero dad and now Golden-eyes? What the FUCK is wrong with this world?

Then he realised how familiar the entire scene was. Deku. Him and Deku. He thought with a sinking feeling in his chest. Had he looked like this before? Had he really done the same?

"Kimura." He was ignored, as Scarface gently shook Golden-eyes. "Kimura, can you hear me? Answer, you might have a concussion."

"...'don't." Came her reply. " 've had worse before. This is nothing."

"Kimura this isn't nothing. You came in third and he did this?"

"I bet you've had worse." She muttered. Scarface sighed, and startled as she attempts to get up.

"Hey—"

"You two have a match." She interrupted and hissed as she got to her feet. "I just tripped and fell down the stairs; I'm just clumsy. I always am." Her tone was bitter, "Recovery girl will fix me up right away."

And with that, she left the two of them standing in the hallway, speechless as they watched her hunched silhouette walk down the corridor and out of view.

"Fucking hell."


I really want to kill Geikyō. Right now. But Akemi has something worse planned for him so I'll have to hold out.

Chapter 101!! And as a treat, I'll give you a little preview for what I've planned for this series.

Sonder will stretch on from the beginning of BnHA till it ends. So yeah. That's really long but I do plan on doing this. So you'll get to see Eri, the vigilant, Shirakumo, and even the Super Nomu. Not only that, I'll include the movies too! And yes! I'm adding in the new movie. So you'll see Melissa and David Shield and Akemi gets to show off her English!

While I do have ships planned for this fanfiction, I'm not entirely sure of them yet. So polls will be posted for opinions! I really like the dynamic Akemi has with Todoroki, Iida, and Izuku right now but then again, I'm not sure.

And due to what I have planned for the coming chapters, the rating might go up. And while it will never reach M, I'm pretty sure thing will get dark. After all I usually write angst.

So that's about all I can tell you! Please Read and Review, and look forward for the next chapter!

See ya!
