Many thanks to the readers who reviewed this fic, and I really appreciate it a lot and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter in which the story is now advancing further, and here we move to a new story arc where Hajime Hinata resurfaces and will take the spotlight.

Moreover, this chapter will also pick up where the last chapter left, and here Hinata will make his debut...so read on and enjoy!

The scene shifts at a rooftop of a nearby high rise building, where you can see Rantaro Amani is sitting, playing a Wonder Swan console unit and is playing a platform game, and there he appeared to be enjoying himself until someone came and talked to him, which Rantaro paused the game and smiled at him, though he can tell that someone in front of him is not quite pleased with what is currently going on and is rather pertubed at seeing Rantaro smiling away despite being aware of the current situation at hand and asks Rantaro is he is fine with this or not.

"Hey."

"Yo."

"Are you slacking off or what?"

"Just enjoying the wonderful view."

"Surely you are aware...one of our comrades was killed."

"I know."

"Aren't you going to do something about it?"

"Let me think..."

The one who is talking to Rantaro is shown to be a Monokuma, but sports the appearance of a green-colored humanoid dragon though he did retain the features of a Monokuma, such as its eyes and bear ears. He is identified as Graphite, and he made it clear that he is not pleased with what just transpired hours earlier.

"You think this is just a game?"

"I think so..."

"A Kamen Rider just appeared...but..."

"So HE has finally grow a spine unlike two years ago..."

"But this time its a SHE..."

"A "she"? Really?"

"Be serious here!"

"Relax. Everything will be fine..."

Graphite is not pleased at seeing how laid-back Rantaro is after being told that things will be fine and that they will soon gain an army of Monokuma and urged Graphite to be patient saying that everything is gling according to plan, and Graphite sighed seeing that Rantaro is just like his usual, taking things so easy, yet he opted to take Rantaro's word for now and went to the edge of the rooftop and raised his hand, firing a mist-like substance which slowly went downward and is about to hit a few pedestrians who are walking the streets.

Ch. 11: Betsu no Reberu-1 no Ishi

At the office of Izuru Kamukura, you can see that he is sitting on his chair, his elbows on the table and his hands clasped together in front of his lips, thinking. A while ago he was told by Jin that Hinata has arrived and said that Hinata has obtained another set of devices, which only made Izuru more intrigued, as he guessed that he went to another place before coming at the university hospital, which would explain why his distant grandson is not available and led to Chiaki Nanami taking the Game Driver and Gashat from Yukizome and proceeded to fight and defeat the Monokuma.

Though not bothered by it since Hinata is now here, he is, however, intrigued at how she was able to use it since he knows that she spent her time studying and doing a thesis as an intern and assisting the lead pediatrics and that she never entered the CR Unit that has been established a few years ago, thus he slowly views her as not only a competitor towards Hinata, but also someone he is wary of. He is now thinking of summoning Chiaki to his office to interrogate her and see what she knows so far about the situation as he believes that his distant grandson is the ONLY suitable candidate to defeat this unknown threat.

"Hmm...perhaps I should interrogate Nanami and..."

By then a door was heard knocking and someone came in, and the person is revealed to be Suichi Saihara, and he removed his cap and bowed to Izuru, and Izuru nodded and motions the teen to sit down, and there the teen apologized for coming late for his appointment, saying that he encountered a crime scene and did some autopsy work while clearing his name to the police, and after hearing it, Izuru is intrigued by this after reading the resume and other records that Saihara submitted, seeing that the teen boy wants to study AND work at Hope's Peak University Hospital.

"So you wished to study here, Saihara-kun...?"

"Yes, sir."

"And why is that?"

"This place is prestigious...a hospital and a university...I find it challenging so..."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"And you just said that you did an autopsy at a crime scene?"

"Yes, sir."

Izuru is curious, as aside from hearing from Saihara's claim that he liked to try and and study at a prestigious university and hospital, he is also quite interested after hearing that he did some autopsy on some victims and used them as leverage against the police that led to the teen's acquittal. What Izuru did not realize that Saihara is actually a detective, but because of Saihara rarely takes the spotlight and does low-profile investigation which only a few policemen recognized his talents, Saihara was not known to be a detective, and Saihara's recent investigation led to the university hospital, he opted to go undercover just to find more leads.

After hearing more of Saihara's alibi, Izuru decided to try out the boy and told him that he will undergo a trial, in which he will spend the first three months as a MEDICAL CORONER, and if he does exceedingly well, then he can study here with 70% discount of the tuition fee, which Saihara nodded in approval.

"...so does that meet your approval, Saihara-kun?"

"Yes, definitely."

"Are you willing to take shifts?"

"Of course."

"Very well...you can start the trial tomorrow."

"Thank you, sir."

"You may leave now."

"Yes, excuse me..."

After that, Izuru told Saihara that he can start tomorrow and even offered him a dorm where he can stay which the teen boy nodded and bowed as he left the office, where Jin had just arrived and saw Saihara left, and there Jin talked to Izuru about Hinata, and asks him if this is right, having him summoned from overseas just to deal with the current threat, even showing concern about the boy, but Izuru scoffed and said that this is Hinata's obligation as his grandson and that he will do as told for he is the designated heir-apparent who will one day run the University Hospital.

"And that is Hajime-kun's obligation...thus he cannot defy me."

"But sir...are you sure about this?"

"Of course."

"But...what if...?"

"You need not worry...as long as I order him...Hajime will follow my will no matter what."

"Sir..."

"Now then...let us discuss other matters."

"..."

Though Jin did not like this, he opted not to question him about Izuru's high authority within Hope's Peak and Izuru changed the subject and Jon sighed and sighed, saying that Hinata is currently performing surgery on a patient, which Izuru smirked, seeing that things are going well, but the REAL TEST aimed at his distant grandson would happen soon, and that is where he can see what Hinata is capable of after spending his time in overseas as part of his TRAINING.

-x-

Meanwhile, the scene shifts within the premises of the university hospital where Chiaki had just finished assisting the main pediatrician in checking her patient, and upon passing by the emergency room she saw a lot of female university students flocking outside the door, and she wondered what was going on until Yukizome came and told her that during Hinata's two year time overseas, he underwent training and eventually becoming a GENIUS SURGEON, having perform countless surgeries and made a name for himself, though it is a question for her on why he now acts so cold and arrogant, as well as being so distant, which Chiaki wondered about it herself.

"A genius...surgeon..."

"Yes, Nanami-chan...he became one after spending time overseas...though it made me wonder why he acted so cold now..."

"Yes, I wonder why. He used to be shy and polite."

"Probably pressure."

"I don't think that is the case, Yukizome-senpai..."

"But still...you are going to have your hands full...you are still studying as a student here...acting as an intern in pediatrics...and dealing with the Monokuma threat...you should adjust and be ready for anything."

"I understand."

"Good."

By then, the emergency door opened and Hinata came out, his surgeon uniform stained with blood, yet he is composed, which shows that the surgery he performed was a success, and you can see Mikan following him and the female students try to get him to notice them but were ignored, though it did not deter them from getting his attention and even offered to date him which resulted in the girls to bicker among themselves.

"Hey! Back off!"

"I was here first!"

"Hinata-kun is mine!"

"I'm his girlfriend!"

"I'm his wife!"

"I'm his concubine!"

"Say what?"

"I'm gonna take his virginity!"

Hinata sighed deemed the girls as "boring" before proceeding to his quarters to shower and change, while Mikan went to her quarters to change as well, and Chiaki watched the two leaving and she went towards the CR Unit to unwind, and while there, she pondered on how and why a threat like the Monokuma came to light and why the CR and the Ministry of Health had to cover up the incidents, in which Yukizome came and told her that it is necessary to prevent a panic and riot, and even said that this is also a way to prevent more casualties from building up should the public became aware of the situation and it would be best to keep things under wrap as much as possible.

By then Poppy appeared from the monitor and told them that she detected an INFECTED person, and Yukizome looked around, seeing that no one is around, and after a minute of reluctance, Yukizome opened the briefcase and took the Game Driver and the Mighty Action-X Gashat and gave them to Chiaki, telling her that for now she will deal with the situation and Chiaki nodded as she is given a stethoscope, which is the same one Yukizome used hours earlier.

"Here!"

"Um...why are you...?"

"You need it...and for now you are available...we don't know Hinata-kin's schedule, so..."

"Are you sure? Director Kirigiri might..."

"Leave him to me...right now the patient needs our help!"

"You're right..."

"Good...lets go!"

"Okay."

Both Yukizome and Chiaki left the CR Unit and head for the scene where the victim is detected, and when Jin came and saw the briefcase left open, he knew who did it seeing that Yukizome is the only one who is in charge, and deduced that she took Chiaki with her, so he contacted Hinata and told him the location of the infected person upon seeing the map on the monitor screen. Jin then asks Poppy if what he think is what will going to happen, which Poppy gleefully proclaim that two doctors, a genius and an intern, will compete, if not work together, over the rescue of the patient.

"Yup! Poppy will see a contest between two doctors!"

"Poppy...be serious here!"

"Poppy am serious..."

"Why let an outsider like Chiaki Nanami inside the CR? She is not..."

"Poppy say she is now. After all...she beat a Monokuma earlier...so I say she is fit to join us...and she already had a name...KAMEN RIDER EX-AID!"

"Seriously...how can you be so lenient?"

"Don't worry...with Hinata-kun...it is going to be a contest...if not a co-op game..."

"What?"

Poppy also proclaim that Hinata will finally go in to action as Kamen Rider Brave, and it would be interesting if he could work with Ex-Aid despite their differing personalities, which Jin sighed in worry since he knows that Chiaki is not an official member of the CR and wondered what to do after this, and hoped that the looming threat be taken down before getting the chance to reveal itself to the public.

-x-

At a park, Yukizome and Chiaki arrived and there they saw two girls there, one is laying on the floor and the other kneeling down, trying to help her and there Yukizome and Chiaki arrived and approached the two other girls and asks them what just happened, and the kneeling girl, identified as Sato, told Yukizome is suffering from chest pains, and Chiaki stared in suspicion, as she knows that a person can only experience a first heart attack when he/she reaches the age of 40 and above, and as she is about to check on the patient, identified as Mahiru Koizumi, Sato asks if Chiaki is a medical student, which she answered honestly, but as Chiaki is about to check on her, a car arrived on the scene, and the passengers disembarked, revealing to be Hajime Hinata and Mikan Tsumiki, and Hinata took out his stetoscope and uses it, where he detected some nanobytes gathering around Koizumi's heart, and told the rest to move as he is about to perform extraction, surprising Sato, ash she asks Yukizome if Hinata is serious in what he just said.

"Stand aside. You are in my way of performing my operation."

"Eh? Is he serious?"

"Um...yes...he is..."

"But...shouldn't he be operating inside a hospital...?"

"Don't worry...he is a genius surgeon..."

"But...he looked like a student in high school!"

"I know...but..."

"Silence you two...be quiet and let me perform the surgery..."

However, Koizumi screamed as she levitated before some nanobytes emerged from her mouth and covered her whole body and formed an impregnable armor and taking shape of a huge heart with tentacles, which Sato shrieks and both Yukizome and Chiaki pulled Sato away but then saw Hinata just stood there in a stoic manner, and there he called Tsumiki to prepare the SURGICAL TOOLS.

"Tsumiki-san."

"Y-yes...?"

"Prepare the surgical equipment."

"H-here they are...!"

"Game Driver."

"Here!"

"Gashat."

"Here!"

After Tsumiki placed the Game Driver around Hinata's waist which immediately formed a belt and gives him the Gashat, he told her to get back, and presses a the button which reveals the type of cartridge he is about to use.

Gashat: "TADDLE QUEST..."

Yukizome blinked at hearing it and Chiaki told her that the Gashat is the popular Role Playing Game known as the Taddle Quest, which she said she played it a few times and that Hinata once showed it to her before becoming a university student, and the two girls watched as Hinata twirls the gashat around his fingers once before inserting it on the left side of the belt buckle.

"Henshin."

Cartridge: "GASHATO! LET'S GAME...ME-CHA GAME...MU-CHA GAME...WHA-CHA NAME...I'M A KAMEN RIDER!"

-TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE-

The scene shows that Hinata is surrounded by a series of holographic images that are encircling around him and he tapped one of the images on his left side with his finger, and the image went towards Hinata from the left side, encasing him in a whitish armor which made him resembled a human adult sized, chibi-looking armored figure, which vaguely resembled an armored trooper from Star Wars, the only difference is that the helmet's EYES were so big making it look like a super-deformed person.

Another noticable feature is that the armored person's helmet sports a knight's appearance, which implies that the motif is probably a medieval knight.

-END TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE-

Yukizome stared wide-eyed seeing that Hinata can transform into a Kamen Rider and his Level 1 form roughly resembles the one Ex-Aid had, and they and Sato watches as Hinata, now as Kamen Rider Brave, prepares to fight the metallic entity that has taken Koizumi hostage inside it, and Chiaki watches intently as she has a feeling that he might need her help despite his cold and arrogant attitude he displayed earlier.

Nearby, you can see Kibo passing by and saw the scene at a hidden angle, hiding behind a thick bush and is staring intently as Brave is getting ready to take the fight, and there you can see Kibo bring out a device, which turns out to be the Game Driver, and is poised to use it though it is not known whether Kibo would step in to help or has an ulterior motive, as he is seen looking stoic and shows no emotion, only staring at the upcoming battle, and there Kibo brought out another device, which is also a Gashat, except that it is colored black and Kibo is poised to put them on as the battle between Brave and the threat is about to commence.

To Be Continued...

Hope you like this chapter, as Hinata has taken the spotlight...though his debut is a bit late...do not pout...the story is now underway...
