The director was just about to scold his workers of not coming up with the clear shot of Louis due to his skull mask. But then, he was silent when seeing this one photo of Cecelia's face in clear view when she was singing the song "Speechless" and after the transformation. The director jumped in shock when comparing the two photos: "I can't believe it! This isn't part of the assignment, but this is more than enough to make up for the failure! Don't you see?! We have the actual Pro Hero from Tokyo in the drama club! This could change the world!" At the same time, Cecelia had just finished the online assignments for UA college as a first-year. Things have gotten crazy but not for the worse. The girls in the academy wanted to be her friend and they would sometimes ask if she and Louis are dating. Sometimes, she freezes of which indicates that she is in love with Louis One student named Els who is a goat said when walking alongside her: "I can't believe it. You are the actual Pro Hero here in Cherryton Academy. Why didn't you say anything about it?" Cecelia said as she's walking alongside the female goat: "At first, I didn't want to make it like I'm being a braggart or a liar. But at the same time, I wanted to be open of what I am. I just didn't know how to display it other than putting it into the play for the drama club." Shelia the other female student who is a cheetah proclaimed with a smile: "You sure pulled it off brilliantly! You and Louis seemed to be the perfect couple on stag and in real life!" Cecelia got flustered and responded: "I don't know about that. I mean, I'm not a herbivore or a carnivore of the sort." Els added in for the conversation as she said this, "But you are the Redeeming Dragon Pro Hero! The Symbol of Inspiration from Tokyo! I'm sure that any guy would be lucky to have you!" Meanwhile, Haru was looking into the newspaper in the office building of the gardening club. The front page showed Cecelia in her transformed Pro Hero form with this title: "Redemption Pro Hero in Cherryton Academy." She remembered Cecelia having a suspicions that someone is trying to tarnish Louis, so she made herself in the public eyes of her Pro Hero identity. But instead of things steering in a negative way, one fan in the comment area said: "This could be the betterment of both herbivores and carnivores alike with the Symbol of Inspiration among us!" Haru chuckled a bit with a smile because she had a feeling that the school wouldn't look down on her from being different. Just then, Louis's hand gently brushed onto the picture of Cecelia's true form and Haru looked up, "You don't look too well. What's wrong? Are more things not going your way? Or are you worried that something bad might happen to Cecelia now that her secret is out?" Louis said while holding onto Haru's hand as he takes off his tie: "I love how you never pry, Haru. I hope you'd stay that way." As he takes her into bed, her sighs by the following of his caresses indicated that they're intimate together.
During the afternoon, Cecelia was at the kitchen as today is the weekend and she was mixing the ingredients of heavy whipped cream, sweetened condensed milk, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a bit of brow sugar. When making sure that she's alone by herself, she used her magic to chill the mixed ingredients with ice magic from her hands. She was preparing the gingerbread cookie flavored ice cream without sugar or egg whites from what she once read in a cookbook. "It should be fine as long as it's not like anything that no herbivore would avoid," she said to herself as the specific ice cream is ready. Not sure if anyone would like it, she was about to taste-test a spoonful herself to see if it's just right or if something is missing. Just then, Louis came up behind her and took that spoonful before looking into her eyes: "Did you make this yourself?" She jumped a little but maintain her composure as she said, "I did. I thought that I could make this and a bit more for the others. The temperature is getting rather heated up after all." She looked over and saw that he looks worried as she asked, "What's a matter? I mean...if you want to talk about it, I'll be someone you can turn to." He felt ashamed inside because he had made love to Haru some time ago. Perhaps, he is in love with Cecelia as he stroked her cheek, "Allow me to ask you one question. What would you do if someone you love was in someone else's arms because of one's fear and insecurity?" Apparently, he was about to confess of what he did. Despite that he and Cecelia have seemingly dated only once, he didn't really make it official if he wants her as his girlfriend. It's due to what has happened in his past and what his father had arranged for him. But before she could answer, they both could hear some of the girls screaming with excitement outside. Wondering what is going on, Cecelia puts the ice cream in he freezer and hurried outside with Louis to the front of the school. This is when even Legoshi and his friend Jack who is a Labrador Retriever are also trying to see who is at the school. Cecelia's eyes looked forward as her ears picked up a conversation from the front:
(?): "Are you sure this is this Cherryton Academy with the drama club?"
(?): "Kacchan? I'm sure that it's the place. Mr. Aizawa had double-checked the address."
(?): "Even Midoriya was told twice about it, Bakugou"
(?): "This better be the place...or we're going to have some explaining to do!"
Cecelia said this with a hint of surprise in her voice: "Bakugou? Midoriya? Todoroki? Kirishima?" The students made a clear path and her eyes widened when she sees every student of Class 1-A, three from Class 1-B, and one student named Hitoshi Shinso from Class 1-C. Ochaco Uraraka, Mina Ashido, and Toru Hagakure with Momo Yaoyorozu called out in unison with joy: "Cecelia!" She almost got tackled to the ground but managed to stay on her feet from the tackling group hug. Louis recognized Katsuki Bakugou as the boy that Cecelia was formerly in love with. At that time, Bakugou was walking forward: "Hey Miya. I get it that you are here while attending online courses from UA college and university. But you could have at least say it even to my face that you were leaving." Green-haired Izuku Midoriya stepped in before things might sound offending: "What Kacchan meant is that you could have let us know so we could properly give you our best wishes. I mean...don't we mean anything to you?" Cecelia then said to the green-haired young man: "What are you talking about, Midoriya? Of course, you all mean everything to me. I just need a new start. But that doesn't mean that I won't forget you guys." Time was consuming as Cecelia was showing the students of UA college and university around this academy. From Mina and Momo helping Haru with the flowers to Eijiro Kirishima showing Bill of his Hardening Quirk that looked super strong, this day became the talk of the hour. On a hot afternoon, that's when the ice cream that has the gingerbread cookie flavor is given to everyone as it was created in Cecelia's helping hand. According to one newspaper article, there was a murder on a herbivore student. Cecelia is about to find out who as she was slowly investigating. Louis was on his way of finding her but stopped to hide at a corner when he sees Bakugou calling out, "Hey Miya. You got a minute or two?" Cecelia said as she was writing on a hard-cover book of dark purple like an amethyst: "I don't see why not, Bakugou." As he sat down in front of her, he said to her: "Let me cut to the chase here. I get that you might haev some kind of inner justice or wanting to start new by attending to this academy. But why send us a video of your farewell? Was it because you were mad at me or something?" Cecelia shook her head and replied: "Bakugou? If I was mad at you, I would have never let you speak to me as soon as I saw you coming here to Cherryton Academy."
Bakugou grunted a bit with his hands in his pockets: "I suppose you got me there. Then answer me this. Is it true that you're in love with this red deer Louis guy?" That caught her off-guard as she almost dropped that dark purple book. Louis watched from the corner as Bakugou frowned a bit: "I see...so you also came here to move on, huh? I'm not complaining because you're doing something for yourself. But at the same time, it makes me feel like you're doing this out of spite because your cousin Camellia is my girlfriend. I just don't know what you are thinking nowadays." Cecelia sighed as she puts the book down: "Bakugou...I never would have done something towards you out of spite. It's true that I was heartbroken. But I can't let the past hold me back from pursuing the future. And as a Pro Hero, I need to hold my head up high with an open heart. I need to move on or the heartbreak will turn me into something that I'm not. That's why I'm willing to forgive you, Bakugou." Louis thought to himself while listening to this conversation: "Is forgiveness really stronger than fear? Is kindness even stronger than hate or pride? Show me of how someone as kind as Cecelia can easily forgive everyone...but somehow can't seem to forgive herself..." Bakugou spoke again with a question: "Damn it all. How can you be so fucking kind all the time?" Cecelia answered before resuming on her writing: "Kindness is one of the many gifts being given to and receive by the heart. I'm sure that you'll understand someday." Louis watched as Bakugou have left for Cecelia to continue on writing. Louis made his presence known when his fingers lightly brushed aside bit of her hair that's covering her eyes. She looked up and said with a surprised expression: "Louis? I'm sorry if I was rude. I didn't notice you coming here. Was I supposed to meet you for lunch or something like that?" He thought to himself in mind: "There it is again...those eyes that are too innocent to me. Despite of everything that she have gone through with her life, she's still here before me..." He shook his head and said to her, "No. It's not that. Although there's something that I would like of you. A favor of some sorts..." She looked up and asked, "And what kind of favor would that be?"
Louis is in an arranged marriage after graduation to keep the bloodline pure with an heir and that he's engaged. But he thinks that if his father sees Cecelia and her true self as the Pro Hero that she is, there could be some arrangements where she could be his wife instead. It's a risk, but he knows that she is strong even in heart. He then said, "I would like for you to meet my father tonight over dinner. He was informed of the play and he wants to meet you in person." This is almost like meeting the future father-in-law from the looks of things. She said to him, "I would be honored to. I know that it's a favor you're asking of me. But in actuality, I was under the imaginative expression that I would perhaps meet your family someday when I least expect it." He chuckled and then looked at her before saying this: "You're really are very kind in heart. I see some would do me favors for money...but you're not one of them, aren't you?" She shook her head and said this from her heart: "No. Money is only a temporary material while the soul is eternal and much more important." Outside, Shoto Todoroki demonstrated his ability over fire and ice as it really made the students crazy with excitement. Some of the girls that want to know how it feels to at least float in the air actually experienced it as Uraraka used her Zero Gravity Quirk on them before settling each of the students back down on their feet. When Midoriya used the Full Cowling ability when using the Quirk calls One For All, he even outrun Shelia who is a cheetah nonetheless and overpowered Bill after Bakugou gives it a shot with his Explosion Quirk. Haru watched from the distance when tending to her garden. She was taking care of the red roses and she looked up to see Cecelia talking to Louis. She thought to herself: "They seemed to be really happy together. But...does she know of his past? And if she does, could she still love him?" Those from the UA are at the rented building that's recently renovated as a rather fancy dorm condo. It's almost like back in the UA High but more spacious and better. The conversation on Facebook between Bakugou and Camellia went as follows:
Bakugou: "Hey Camellia. I got to this city where these anthropomorphic animals coexist. To be honest, it's kind of weird but nothing I can't handle."
Camellia: "Try living among a world of demons. That is probably worse than that."
Bakugou: "Tch! Can't argue with that, babe. Listen...as it turns out, I found your cousin in the Cherryton Academy."
Camellia: "Really? How is she doing nowadays?"
Bakugou: "Apparently, she came here to move on with her life but still keep in contact with all of us."
Camellia: "...perhaps, she's trying to get over the hurt we caused on her..."
Bakugou: "She said that she forgave me, but I don't know. I mean, we both know that she's not a liar. It's just that..."
Camellia: "I know how you feel. You think that it's your fault, isn't it? I feel the same as well. Like I stole away her happiness and her chance for love."
Bakugou: "Come on. Don't think like that, babe. I'm sure that she forgives you. I guess I'm just worried about one thing."
Camellia: "And what would that be?"
Bakugou: "If she somehow finds love here in this world, will it affect her reputation as the Pro Hero that she is?"
Camellia: "She's the Symbol of Inspiration. I'm sure that she will find the answer to that herself somehow."
Meanwhile, Cecelia was talking to Haru as she's getting dressed, "Louis wanted me to meet his father over dinner tonight. I'm not sure what it's about, but I do have a feeling that it's something important." Haru said as she's reading the newspaper: "Perhaps, it's because his father is informed of the play and recognized you as the Redeeming Dragon Pro Hero. You want to know my honest opinion? I think it'll do you quite a favor if you think about it. If his family knows and sees the real you, it's highly possible that you'll be in their social circle. And that would allow you to be closer to Louis without anyone in this school trying to even bully you." Haru still endured some bullying, but it's not as bad as they were before Cecelia came along. In fact, it was decreasing as time goes by. Cecelia asked before coming out of the bathroom, "You think so? I haven't really thought of it." She's wearing a pale light-blue kimono with printings of apple blossoms and waterlilies on bottom half of the skirt and the bottom of the sleeves and a silver sash around her waist. It shows off her neck, shoulders, and collarbone on the entire outlook. Haru looked over and grinned at her friend: "You know? You look the part to play out a goddess in disguise." It was her honest way of saying that Cecelia looks beautiful as the latter replied: "I wasn't sure of what to wear. He did say that he wants me to be myself, but I'm not sure if I'm doing a decent job about it." The dwarf rabbit shook her head and smiled, "I'm sure that you'll be fine. As long as you remain honest and kind by heart, I'm sure that you'll pull through." Putting on the sandals that will properly fit the outfit of her kimono, she grabbed her wallet and walked outside of the dorm. This is when she bumped into Louis who is wearing a midnight-black colored dress jacket over his white collared shirt and matching pants of black as well with black shoes. She was about to say an apology of the sort, but he pressed his finger against her lips to silence her for the moment. He then said to her while looking at what she's wearing, "You look beautiful just the way you are. Sure, your choice of style is elegant and appropriate and my father would approve. But your true beauty is your heart and your soul. I hope that it stays that way. Now...shall we go?" She nodded her head and took his hand. But as soon as she did, bits of her magic picked up on something in her mind and she lets go. Louis turned to her and asked, "What's a matter? You pulled away all of a sudden." She looked away after making a apologetic bow: "I'm sorry. I just...I saw something when I held your hand." He asked when he lifted her face by her chin, "And what exactly did you see?" She didn't want him to think that she's crazy, but she chose to remain honest as she answered, "I saw two deer children in a cell of some black market...one of them has the number under the right foot...being adopted into the family after displaying justice and pride by action."
His eyes widened as he lets go of her chin. Looking onto the side a bit, he said with a downcast expression: "You somehow saw bits of my past. You see...I am number 4 when I was a child." Taking her hand, he decides to tell her as they have time to reach to the family home that he lived in. She learned that he was five years old when he was adopted by a middle-age red deer of a businessman named Ogma who is the president of the Horns Conglomerate. He said to her, "It's been thirteen years since then. I have a promise to fulfill...to change the world...just like you have the promise to inspire the world as you are now." She seemed to understand his point of view and replied, "I know that there's a lot of things that I don't know of your world. But I'm willing to know...so I could be by your side." He held onto her hand as a lover would do and they continued to walk until they took the cab to his father's house.
