I got a job at a translation company recently! Thankfully I can work from home and communicate with them via email because I've been sick for 4 months now and it's horrible. My immune system is non-existent, apparently.

Also thank you so much everyone for your support! I really needed the pep-talks haha. I'm sorry I was a pessimist with little to no confidence. I'm okay now though! From now on I will just write whatever I want and I won't waver anymore even if people don't like what I write!

(Especially to ZyteWCDb and Alyss Penedo! Thank you so much!)

Alternate title for this chapter: Shigeka spewing so much made-up bullshit and cliché at her readers. Also to remind everyone, I still haven't change my mind about the no romance thing. Enjoy!

No. 10 Plans

"…honestly I don't understand how fickle these medias can be. Like, you know, one moment they were bashing U.A. for letting Villains attack their facility, but when they saw the public agreeing with me when I defended your teachers, they immediately backpedalled and showered them with praises!"

Ryouka snorted as her mother finished ranting. "Of course they did. They don't want to look bad so they just went on with what's okay with the public."

Her mother pouted, plopping on the sofa. "But that just made them seem indecisive!"

"Most of them don't actually care about integrity anymore as long as they make money," Ryouka shrugged before she looked around their empty house. "Where's dad anyway? I haven't seen him yet."

"I sent him on an errand," her mother said, grinning widely. "You know that blueberry pie from that bakery you like?"

Ryouka shot her a dubious look. "You sent a directionally challenged person for an errand?" she paused before shrugging. "Eh, whatever. He'll be fine. Tell him I want ten."

Her mother giggled, covering her mouth with her hands. "Ryouka-chan! You'll get fat!"

Ryouka smiled back at her. "It doesn't matter if I do get fat, right?"

Her mother pouted and poked her sides. "Well no, we'll still love you even if you're grossly overweight, but then we have to buy an entirely new wardrobe for you!" Her mother stilled, and then she finally realized what she just said with wonders in her eyes.

"Wait no, please get fatter, Ryouka-chan! I love shopping with you!"

"No."

Her mother giggled again and beckoned her over. Ryouka snorted in amusement and sat beside her as they wait for the head of their little family to come back from his errand, which probably won't happen soon without outside help. Honestly Ryouka have seen little kids on their first errand being more dependable than her dad.

Ryouka was discharged from the hospital soon after she woke up. The doctors had deemed her healthy but told her to rest plenty and to eat a balanced diet. Pretty basic advice that she already followed everyday anyway.

After All Might left, Recovery Girl called to apologize for not being able to visit her because she was busy with Aizawa's recovery and other cases that needed her help, but told her that the hospital bill was already paid for by U.A. It was nice to know because even though her parents were quite rich, hospital bills could be somewhat heart-attack inducing sometimes.

Before she hang up though, Ryouka told her that there were several things that she wanted to discuss with her and the principal and since it concerned All Might, it might be best if he could be there too. Her master was curious, but acquiesced to her request.

Ryouka had been thinking about it ever since his talk with All Might. They knew of her magic already, so she could probably do something about his situation now without raising too much suspicions. If the man was healthy again, she didn't have to heal him all the time too so that was good.

Ryouka took a small black remote from the desk and turned the television on before she noticed a movement from the corner of her eyes. It was her mother, fidgeting uncomfortably while giving her a hesitant glance every now and then.

Ryouka eyed her body language with suspicion.

"Do you have anything you wish to tell me, Mum?"

Her mother winced. "Oh…! How could you be so good at reading me?" she grumbled beneath her breath before she fiddled with her fingers nervously. "But well… there is something that I want to tell you."

Ryouka raised an eyebrow at that. "Well? Go for it then."

"Um… er… that is…" her mother gulped and averted her eyes, trying to find another conversation topic to change to and Ryouka sighed silently. Seriously. She was almost 40—she shouldn't act this childish, especially to her own child.

"Don't stall, Mum. That's unbecoming," Ryouka rolled her eyes.

Her mother shot her a look. "How are you so composed all the time?"

"I'm not," Ryouka groused. "Now stop stalling."

"Oh, alright!" Her mum said before she looked down, obviously nervous. "So… I want to apologize."

Ryouka raised an eyebrow. "For?"

"For everything!" Her mother burst out, her eyes tearing up as her emotions spiked. "It never dawned on me that being a Hero isn't just about being famous and rich. I mean, even your grandpa never told me about the hardships of being one! He just sang praises and told me about how much he loved being a Hero."

Of course he didn't tell you the dangers, he didn't want his daughter to worry, Ryouka thought silently as her mother wiped her eyes before her tears could fall.

Her mother sniffed and hide her face with her hands. "I'm a terrible mother… I didn't realize how dangerous it could be until I got the call from your principal, telling me that you're unconscious in a hospital."

Seeing how upset her mother was, Ryouka let out a small sigh and smiled wryly as she wrapped her arms around her mother.

"Don't cry. There's nothing to apologize, okay? You just gave me your permission to be Recovery Girl's apprentice. You never forced me to do anything I don't want to do," Ryouka assured her mother and patted her back fondly. She suddenly remembered about the Villains she fought that day and winced.

"Rather, I think I should apologize to you," she continued with a grimace.

Her mother wiped her eyes again as she pulled away and asked in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Well… that day, during the attack… I may or may not have got the interest of their leader." Ryouka looked down, frowning as she remembered their exchange in the USJ. "He may target the two of you to get to me. I'm sorry."

"Oh, Ryouka-chan…" Her mother murmured, touched by her concern over their wellbeing. "It's alright! Mum and Dad is very wealthy, you know! We'll figure something out. Do you think one bodyguard for each of us is enough?"

She beamed at her positively, and Ryouka felt her lips quirking up into a smile at that.

"If they can keep up with me in a fight, then it's enough," Ryouka told her, before adding, "Also I want you to carry one of those distress alarms. You have to alert me if anything happens."

"Ryouka-chaaan…" Teary eyed and touched by her words, her mother's lips quivered into a smile and suddenly Ryouka found herself being squeezed by the woman.

It was at that moment the door burst open and her dad appeared from the doorway, breathing hard as if he had been running. In his hands were the paper bags with the logo of Ryouka's favourite patisserie. Her mouth watered in anticipation.

"Shouko-chan! Here's the pie you requested!" Her dad announced cheerfully. "Sorry I'm late, I got lost and had to call for a taxi, haha…"

He trailed off as he adjusted his glasses with his hand. Noticing the position she and her mom was in, he gasped and rushed towards them. "What's this, you're having a bonding time and I'm not invited?"

Giggling at her husband's mock-offended tone, her mother waved him over and opened her arms to welcome him. "Aw, come here honey! Of course you're invited!"

Ryouka snorted loudly and pushed her off gently.

"Actually no. Both of you, please get off. I want to eat my blueberry pies now."

.

The next day, the first thing she did when she arrived at school was making her way to the principal's office where she found said principal, her master, and All Might waiting for her while having a tea party. She rolled her eyes at the ridiculous sight and quickly plopped down onto the sofa beside Recovery Girl.

"Good morning, Ryouka-chan. Would you like some tea?" the old lady asked pleasantly and Ryouka nodded.

"Good to see you've recovered, Ibuki-kun," All Might greeted her as the principal went to get another tea cup for her.

"Thank you." Ryouka returned with a small nod.

After her tea was served, the principal went back to his seat and smiled at her.

"Well, what do you wish to discuss with us today, Ibuki-kun?" he asked, and Ryouka said her thanks to him for the tea before she finally told them why she asked to meet them.

"Hmm… first of all, I need a laboratory of some sort and I need it airtight so that no poisonous fumes could get out," Ryouka said. "I also need the tables in there have marble surface. It would be ideal for the lab to be built on separate building on its own, but if you can't do that it's okay, I'll make due," she added.

"A lab?" All Might repeated with curiosity and Ryouka nodded at him.

"I also need a microscope and a storing cabinet too," she said as she sipped at her tea. "Again, it will have to be completely airtight as I will be storing quite the miscellaneous items there that may or may not emit dangerous fumes."

"Not that we couldn't prepare that for you, but… what will you use the lab for, Ibuki-kun?" the principal asked her as he nibbled on a rice cracker.

Ryouka sipped her own tea calmly before she decided to answer him.

"I'm going to heal All Might," she said, pausing a bit before adding afterwards, "Permanently."

Everyone's eyes widened at her words.

"What do you mean by permanently?" Nedzu-sensei asked him seriously.

"I mean what I said," Ryouka said, shrugging nonchalantly. "I can heal All Might permanently."

Seeing Chiyo-sensei and the principal exchanging glances and All Might looking at her in shock, Ryouka put down her tea and dabbed her lips with a tissue. It's time to be serious right now, no time for tea party.

"I'm sure by now you've heard of my real Quirk," she prompted and they nodded at her.

"Not everything, but All Might here did told us about it yesterday," the principal answered her. "Magic, is it?"

Ryouka nodded.

"Yes. I will get to that in a moment, but first…" her eyes glanced towards All Might before she continued. "As I understand it, the problem with All Might's body is that his body is rejecting the transplants that was done to replace his damaged and missing organs and because of this complication, he couldn't keep his food down and digest properly, which puts him in this state," she gestured towards All Might's skeleton-like body.

When they nodded, Ryouka continued.

"Because of his less than ideal body, he couldn't use his Quirk optimally and limited his Hero-ing time to 3 hours a day too—"

"Actually," All Might suddenly cut in. "I only have about an hour now."

Ryouka's eyes widened. "Only an hour?"

All Might nodded gravely. "The Villain attack the other day…"

Ryouka suddenly remembered All Might, his sides bleeding from being crushed and then having to push himself past his limits to buy her some time to cast her spell. Her eyes hardened for a second before she forced herself to put on her calm exterior back.

"I see. Then you'll be glad to hear that I have a possible solution for this," Ryouka began again. "As you may know, I can do a lot of things with it and one of them is Potions making."

"I plan to brew a potion that could regrow missing body parts for All Might. This potion work by copying your gene and then replicating it into the body parts that it need to regrow. Since it's using your own genetic material, the chance that his body will reject them is extremely low."

She paused a bit to let them absorb the information before continuing. "If I could successfully make it, hopefully you could regain your former strength again to wield your Quirk safely."

"The only problem is gathering the ingredients and also the place to make it. Potions fume more often than not is poisonous to the human body. I'll be able to manage somehow with my Quirk, but if a normal person breathe in those fumes, it'll not be good for their health," she finished her explanation.

"So that's why you need an airtight laboratory." The principal nodded at her. "That can be done."

"Thank you," Ryouka nodded at him. "While you're at it, I also need you to build me a greenhouse to grow some of the ingredients. Oh, but please tell me where you're going to build it first since I need to do a ritual to bless the land where the greenhouse would be."

Chiyo-sensei looked intrigued by this.

"A ritual?" she asked to confirm it.

Deciding that the atmosphere wasn't quite so serious anymore, Ryouka nodded and snagged the rice cracker that was served on the table and began munching on it as she answered her.

"Yes. Magical plants grow on magical grounds, see, and do you see any magical grounds around here?" Ryouka shrugged. "Yeah, same. I don't see it because it doesn't exist. That's why I'm making my own."

"Is there anything special that you need for the ritual?" Nedzu-sensei asked her, tilting his head a bit.

Cute…

"Not really. I just need to do it under the light of a full moon, which is in 4 days, so decide fast where you want it to be," Ryouka told him, shushing the urge to pet the principal's head down.

Nedzu-sensei nodded his acquiesce and went back to drinking his tea.

Ryouka was impressed that he didn't even complain about her suddenly making demands at him and just went along with it without asking unnecessary questions. She hadn't prepared an answer for if they were to ask him about where she got the knowledge for the potions she was making and she was crap about thinking up lies on the spot.

She snagged another cracker and gobbled it up before she remembered something crucial for her plan that she almost missed because she was distracted by the rice cracker.

"Oh, that's right. I also need the cooperation from 2nd year heroics student, Sawa Rakan, and 1st year heroics student, Yaoyorozu Momo. Do you need to write a contract for them too or can I just ask them for what I need?" She asked the principal.

"That depends on what you need from them. If we can provide it to you without their help, we will."

"Well, I need Rakan-kun's help with the ingredients that I need. Some of the plants didn't exist here but he can manipulate plants, so I need to show him how to make one," Ryouka explained.

She sipped her tea first to clear her throat before she continued. "For Yaoyorozu-san, I need her to make me a crystal and a diamond cauldron, as well as several crystal vials to store the samples from each batch I made. You could provide this one without her help, but I imagine the cost will be very high."

The principal looked thoughtful and frowned for a while before he nodded.

"I see. I will draw up the contracts to bind their secrecy for this project then, just to be safe," he told her.

Ryouka nodded. "Okay. You take care of them then, Sensei. Let me know if everything's set up. I have to recheck the recipe so I don't make too many mistakes, but I will probably need a few tries before I succeed since I'm not the best potions maker out there."

She then turned towards her master and All Might, who was watching her exchange with the principal silently since before.

"Chiyo-sensei, I also need All Might's complete medical records—well at least the ones after his injuries. I need to know what kind of procedures had been done to him and if it will affect the result of my experiment."

"You will have them by tomorrow morning, Ryouka-chan," Chiyo-sensei nodded, smiling at her.

Ryouka nodded at her coolly as she put her cup on the table and tidied up the mess she made. Seeing that she was just about done, the principal opened his tiny mouth again.

"Is that all the things you need for this project?" The principal asked.

"Yes, thank you. The last thing I need is several vials of All Might's blood since I need to test the potions reaction to it first before I could let him drink them, but that can be done later," she paused and glanced at All Might who looked like he was still processing all the information she dumped on them. Poor guy was probably overwhelmed.

"Are you alright, All Might?" she asked finally.

All Might jumped at her question and he shook his head quickly.

"W-what? No, sorry… I just…" he trailed off before he paused, biting his lips. "You can heal me?"

Ryouka's eyes softened at the tone of his voice. He sounded so vulnerable. She remembered their first meeting and the words he told her back then; she imagined that he had completely given up hope of ever becoming healthy again.

"That's exactly what I'm saying," she told him, smiling slightly. "Well, hopefully, at least. I'm confident that I can do it though."

All Might swallowed heavily before he rose from his seat and bowed his body at her formally.

"Thank you," he said, and Ryouka waved it off with her hand. The man deserved at least this after all he had done.

Finally, Ryouka stood up and bowed her head at the principal.

"Well then, I will be going to class now. I believe I'm already late as it is. Thank you for being so cooperative with me, Sensei," she said. "Please excuse me now."

"Yes. I will inform you when everything is ready, Ibuku-kun," the principal said cheerfully to which Ryouka just nodded her head in answer before she walked out the room.

.

"Ryouka-san!" Rakan exclaimed when he saw her coming to class that day.

"You're alright now?" The boy asked her as he rushed to her side, his face contorting with concern. Ryouka nodded to reassure him as she put her bag on her table.

"Yeah," she answered him.

When the frown on his face didn't ease at her answer, her lips curled upwards slightly and she brought her hand to ruffle his hair fondly. The boy was such a worrywart.

"I'm alright, Rakan-kun. It was only a slight exhaustion," she told him. "No need to look so worried, okay?"

"Well… we were worried when the news got out that the USJ was attacked by Villains. All the teachers suddenly ushered us back to our class and went there to provide back up, and then Chigusa told me that he saw you, covered in blood, being carried with a stretcher into an ambulance…" Rakan trailed off, biting his lower lip.

Senroh saw her?

"He saw me?" She echoed aloud. Rakan nodded.

"Yeah. Remember when I told you about our Quirks? His let him see everything around him up to 5 km radius," he reminded Ryouka, who honestly had forgotten it because she was still overwhelmed by her new busy schedule at the time to remember something like that.

"I see," was all she said at that. Rakan, the sweet boy that he was, didn't seem to mind her short response.

"Actually we went to see you at the hospital after that, but you were still unconscious at the time…" he trailed off again, looking a bit guilty. Ryouka didn't understand why since he didn't do anything wrong.

"It's fine. Thank you for coming to visit me," Ryouka said, her eyes softening and a small smile tugged on her lips as she patted his head again to reassure him.

Rakan's eyes widened a bit as he touched the spot where she just pat him. Ryouka left him there to get her books for the class out from her bag, but then she heard a small voice.

"Somehow I think you've gotten softer than before…"

Ryouka glanced at him with the corner of her eyes. "Is that so?"

"Mm! I like it!" Rakan beamed at her and she huffed softly at that even as the corner of her lips curled upwards.

"Cheeky brat."

Rakan just laughed.

Moments later the door opens again and Narushige-san appeared with a stack of papers (probably for the next lesson) on his arms. He met Ryouka's eyes and immediately approached her, his face a bit pale with worry.

"Ibuki, are you alright now?!"

Ryouka sighed wryly.

And so it started again.

While reassuring Rakan was easy, reassuring their resident mother hen was a nightmare. Narushige-san kept sending her worried looks throughout the day and only relented when Ryouka agreed to being examined by Senroh, who can use his Quirk as an X-ray vision too, apparently.

"She's fine. I don't see anything wrong with her," Senroh said as they were about to eat their lunch.

It was the first time Ryouka went to eat together with them. Usually she had her healing duty, but Chiyo-sensei had said that she didn't have to do it that day since she was still recovering and All Might hadn't gotten himself injured anyway, so she went with Rakan when he headed to the cafeteria. Narushige-san fussed over her while Tohji and Rakan just send her an amused look.

"You missed quite a bit while you were at the hospital," Tohji said after they settled.

"Oh?"

"Thirteen-sensei announced to us yesterday that the Sports Festival is still going to be held," the eye-patch blond told her as he shoved a mouthful of soba into his mouth.

"Even after a Villain attack they're still going to hold it?" Ryouka raised her eyebrow sceptically. U.A. Sports Festival was open to public. Wasn't that too reckless?

Rakan nodded at her.

"Yeah… he said something about it's a way for U.A. to show the public that our crisis management system is strong or something like that. He said that the security would be heightened five times than last year's sports festival but…" the boy paused, frowning in concern. "I don't know… I'm kinda worried…"

Senroh was quick to put his arms around Rakan.

"Don't worry, Rakan. I'll protect you," the black haired man assured him with his deep, smooth voice, making Narushige-san jump from his seat to pry them apart, grumbling under his breath for him to stop corrupting Rakan.

Ryouka rolled her eyes at the ridiculousness of it all. Sometimes she wondered what exactly their relationship was with each other.

After lunch, she leisurely made her way to Class 1-A for her Hero Lesson. As expected, many eyes followed her movements as she made her way beside Yaoyorozu, who smiled at her pleasantly as she welcomed her back.

Ryouka inwardly rolled her eyes. Their stare was so heavy she could practically hear them screaming the questions in their minds, she thought with a small sigh. Seriously, these kids and their curiosity. Still, they kept their promise to not say a word. Didn't mean that their stare wasn't making her uncomfortable.

Closing her eyes briefly in concentration, she tapped her finger on the table and casted a privacy spell to blanket over the entire room. When she was done, she opened her eyes and huffed at the pairs of curious eyes that stared back at her.

"Whatever is said in this room doesn't leave this room, understand?"

Pinky was the first one to realize the meaning of her words and she jumped on the opportunity given to her and soon the others followed. Ryouka decided to be 'truthful' to the kids, answering their questions with the half-truths and lies she fed to All Might the other day.

"What was that the other day?"

"That lightning was so cool!"

"How and where did you learn how to fight?!"

The questionings continued until Eraser Head came in, covered in bandages, telling them that their lesson for the day was going to be overseen by Present Mic, who will be teaching them basic hand-to-hand combat. Probably in preparation for the sports festival, or maybe they were taking her advice seriously.

She didn't know if just two weeks will do any good on the kids, but okay. That was a start.

She wondered what the bandaged man was doing out of the hospital though. Even if she had healed the man before, it was only once and his injury was severe enough to require maybe all of her healing quota for a day. His bones were crushed and he was like mere centimetres away from death after all.

"You're wobbling," Ryouka commented, lagging behind with Aizawa as the kids cheerily ran towards the training ground's changing room. Beneath that ridiculous bandage, she could see a faint movement as teacher's eye twitched at her comment.

"And you're slow," the man grouched as he slumped forward, leaning on the wall so he didn't fall. "Seriously, Ibuki. Run along with the others. You're going to be late."

Ryouka clicked her tongue.

Stubborn man.

Without warning, Ryouka pulled his bandage off his mouth and locked her lips with his. Before the man could swat her face away, she breathed out her Spring of Life into him. She immediately pulled away and smirked slightly at the bafflement on his face, ignoring the exhaustion that have begun to set in.

"That's my thanks for trying to save me the other day," Ryouka said, huffing at him. "You should really be more responsible and know your limit though, Sensei. You're showing bad example to the kids, wobbling around in pain like that."

"Have more care for your health and go to the infirmary to rest, but most importantly you should get rid of the bandage. You look ridiculous wrapped up like a mummy like that," she said as she gave him a salute and ran off after the children, leaving the teacher alone in the corridor.

"Cheeky brat," she heard the man grouched faintly from the background and she sniggered to herself, hearing a tint of fondness in his voice.

No. 10 Plans — End

Next chapter will cover maybe half of the sports festival. Maybe.

I really want to write a Harry Potter and Persona 3 crossover. I've been planning the entire plot of the story since 2012 but I never actually write it down because it makes me cry lol. I also really want to write a Final Fantasy XV fanfiction where Noct have a really supportive younger brother who would do literally anything to keep him safe. Aaaah so many ideas, so little time!

Also! I started scanlating doujinshi last month lol. You can find it if you go to a certain site (I won't say the name to discourage people not in the know from going down an inescapable hell).

I've only released two Mob Psycho 100 doujinshi so far, but I'm planning to release more, especially Final Fantasy XV doujinshi because there're some stories that I like that haven't been translated. I've gained so much respect for scanlation groups now though. Onomatopoeia and dirty talks are so hard to translate…

PS I CANNOT WAIT FOR KINGDOM HEARTS III AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH also ps if I didn't reply to your review it means that I lost track of which one I've replied to and which one I haven't. Sorry about that ):
