The day after Ueno Kenjirō was arrested, Hibiki didn't go to school. And 1A had a rather rare quiet, calm morning that didn't have Hibiki crashing in through the door. And despite Hibiki insisting that she'll will be fine back when her, Tenya and Hiroi visited, Akemi couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Hibiki've been freed. Her mother walked right in as her father slammed a wine bottle on her head and he is now arrested and locked away until trial, and since Hibiki had offered up every last piece of evidence she could, he's going away for a long time. Plus, mum dicided to sic the Hayashi Company's best lawyer on the case, Ueno Kenjirō will never be able to touch Hibiki ever again.

But herself?

As she made her way towards the training area Akemi mused over her choices. Kimura Geikyō is a powerful man. He isn't like Hibiki's father, he is manipulative, devious and has a whole team of lawyers to back him up. He lies so smoothly with such believable stories that he can convince you that the sun rises from the west. Charming, manipulative, influential and charismatic. That's what Akemi is up against.

And while she has inherited those talents, Akemi doesn't use them. And who is she up against this man? Who will believe her, is there anyone with the power to help her that'll believe her over him?

There is, a little voice in the back of her head whispers, there is.

Akemi shakes the thought away as she stopped at the starting point for today's practice, adjusting the harness of her new costume. She has to focus.

Izuku did well in his turn, he has successfully managed to use One for All normally without her help and she is proud of that. She looked around the maze of pipes and towers, then took a deep breath.

They are going to expect her to use her old skills and dash past this exercise with overcharge or something like that, but Akemi is one to break expectations, and that's exactly what she's going to do.

Well... Falling is a lot faster than running, right? So stretching her fingers and readying a slight amount of energy, she pointed towards Toshinori-san with gun fingers, and smirked.

"Ready— Start!"

She fired it off. She can feel the gravity around her shift, and then she is falling.

horizontally, if she might add.

She had made sure that this energy affects her only, so it didn't take much effort to dodge the others and the pipes, a little push and alteration of kinetic energy was all that it took. She grinned cheekily as she fell past a wide-eyed Kaminari, and waved as she slid down one of the diagonal roofs, right past a gaping Sato and scowling Bakugou. As she reached Toshinori-san, she shifted the energy, and landed gently with a nice curve towards the ground.

"What the FUCK, Golden Eyes?!" Akemi laughed as Bakugou landed behind her, eye twitching, "What the fuck did you do?!"

She dodged to the side as the angry teen made an attempt to grab her, and blew a raspberry. "Well you can't run faster than I can fall, right?" She grinned, then threw her arms in the air and cheered. "Man, Gravitational energy is the best!"

After a brief review, Toshinori-San dismissed them, but as Akemi was about to leave, a hand stopped her.

"Young Akemi," Akemi turned slightly, Toshinori-San is glancing at her, his eyes conflicted as if hating to talk to her right now, "...Meet me and Midoriya after school in the usual place."

She nodded slowly, and tuned away.

"Okay... And Toshinori-san?" She calls, smiling but struggling within," I need to talk to you as well."

Alright, some more serious chapters coming up, don't kill me but it might get a little angsty. It's only this and the next though so it's not long before things get goofy again, then... angsty exams... and there's gonna be a lot of fun chapters before I get to the mall incident and afterwards, well, yeah. TvT.

Onto the comment! (Since there's only one)

To darkpaladin89: KITTIES! I'm gonna do a cat cafe chapter later. And Of course Shinsou needs to know! They're friends! And Geikyo will need a ticket to an alternate universe instead if he need to escape justice, *Evil grin* He is dead. And Smudge is so getting a buddy after I see this. Good to know you're better though!
