Hours after Onaji made her decision about continuing her training, Delta called Caleb that he's calling it off with the other half of the training, but sitting in some random restaurant Delta was having dinner with his master. They both sat on a booth as Delta enjoyed his food, Dà was observing his surroundings seeing people from all walks of life, some were giant, others were tiny, seeing many people of shapes and sizes. He truly was in a different world, "quite a trip, huh?" Delta said to his mentor.
Taking a sip from his soup Dà couldn't agree even more, "it is, but it look like I didn't stick out as much I thought I would," Dà gave his thoughts, "I've been thinking Dà," Delta spoke up, "really? that's a first," Dà remarked, "I'm serious, I want to complete my training," Delta finished. Dà suddenly stopped and then slowly put his chopsticks down, "finish your training?" Dà repeated, "yeah, after Onaji told she still wanted to do it, I thought, why not finish mine?" Delta presented. Dà looked at him for a good moment, and then slurped up the last of his noodles, "no," he bluntly answers leaving Delta shocked, "what!? why not?" Delta asked when he was denied, "because. You don't need me anymore," Dà said.
Left confused Dà explained further, "you have grown so much, have grown wiser compared when we first met, and through those times you were a complete pain in my ass," he said with Delta flicking his hand up with the last comment, "but now you have your own pain in the ass, your training is completed." Dà gets up, digs in his pocket, and flicks a gold coin onto the table, "Mr. Caleb, I think we're done here," Dà called out as Caleb was chowing down food at another table. He takes one more bite and joined up with Dà outside, "you're heading home?" Delta asked, "yes. My job is done here. Goodbye, Delta," Dà said farewell, "... Bye master," but before Delta turned to leave, Dà called out to him, "wait, almost forgot something," he then tossed Delta a stick that stood a head taller than him.
Delta caught with one hand, he then spun it around inspecting it, and realized, "this is my staff," Delta said out loud, "I though it should be with its owner, farewell," Dà told him and disappeared with Caleb. Delta stood there on the side walk with his master telling him that his training is done, and now he's a master, spinning his staff around before planting it next to him. He will not let his master or his student down.
Night was drawing near and so Delta headed on to Kirishima's house for the night, he knocks on the door was greeted by Eijiro himself, "what up man, whoa is that a staff?" Kirishima asked a bit amazed by the stick, "yeah, but hey dude, you wear crocs?" Delta pointed to his feet, "yeah," "I just lost half of my respect for you," Delta remarked, "*pfft*, whatever man," Kirishima chuckled, and then lets his geust in.
In the morning Kirishima and Delta headed for school, walking into class the class of 1-A couldn't help, but notice the staff Delta was caring with him, "uh? what's with the stick, Delta?" Denki asked, "oh, this? this my whoop-ass stick in case someone asks me stupid questions," Delta gestured spinning the staff in one hand. Denki then backed off with his hands in the air and Delta just took his seat, "I take it that you are officially the master now?" Momo asked, "yep, and if Onaji falls asleep, WHACK! it's called tough love get used to it," Delta proclaimed.
Then Aizawa came in and saw the staff, "... Not even gonna ask," he said before proceeding back to work.
Showing up in Onaji's, but left the staff behind, "alright what's our next lesson, master?" Onaji asked, "we're gonna bang our heads against a tree," Delta bluntly said leaving Onaji dumbfounded, "uh, O.K," Onaji replied heading off to find a tree.
Several hours has passed and all that the two did was bang their heads against a tree, for Onaji she was starting to see lights, but eventually the training ended when school ended. Delta hanging around at the Jiro's residences once again, "you've been getting pretty good kid," Kyotoku commented quite impressed with Delta's growing musical ability, "I did learned from the best," Delta complimented. Kyotoku gave an amusing laugh, "I've heard you've cleared everything with your master, how do you feel now?" he asked.
Delta sets the guitar off to the side and started pondering the thoughts in his head, "In a way, I find myself feeling relieved, like I made amends between him and I, and that's one thing I can put behind me," Delta expressed. Kyotoku felt happy for him, now that he can move on, he then looked down to the guitar he lends to him so he can practice, seeing how old, and beat up it looked, "you know what Delta, today I'm gonna let you pick which guitar you can practice with tomorrow," he announced to him. Delta eye's shot open, "really?" he asked making sure, "yeah, pick what ever," Kyotoku gestured to the collection of stringed instruments.
Delta looked over to them all, there was so much to choose from, but there is one that caught his eyes, and so he pointed to it, "that one?" Kyotoku chuckled, finding it too funny believe, "yes," Delta confirmed, "hey, it's your choice," Kyotoku said.
Walking down the street, heading for school Jiro couldn't believe what she was seeing, "out of all of the collection, you chose a banjo," Jiro lay it out, holding in her laughter, "hey, your dad said I can choose whatever I want, so the banjo's coming," Delta said out loud sounding happy and strumming the strings, "O.K whatever, haha," Jiro laughed, "hey, Jiro, catch," Delta tossed her a dark rolled up shirt which she caught in her hand. "What's this for?" Jiro asked, "just for being my friend, unfold it," Delta told her, Jiro did and saw that the shirt was a rare t-shirt from one of her favorite bands "The End Of Villains".
Jiro's eyes lit up holding the shirt up in appreciation of the gift, "where did you find this?" Jiro asked, "well, remember that old lady I saved?" Jiro nodded her head, "how can I forget?" "I ran into her son when I was heading to your place yesterday, turns out he owns a music shop, he wanted to repay me for saving his mother, but I declined the money, that's when he offered me the shirt, and it made me think of you," he explained. "What can I say man, thank you," Jiro complimented, "I got one too," Delta showed her the t-shirt under his uniform, "sweet," Jiro then gave him a high five.
Lunch time everyone was sitting at their usual table, but they all stared at Delta with the banjo in his arms, "hey Delta, maybe you should play us a fiddle," Sero remarked and everyone chuckled, "fiddles are for violins, butt-head, but yeah I'll play ya a tune," Delta corrected. He tuned the banjo testing the strings and everyone quiet down, Delta began pulling the already playing in a fast pace, and soon he was gathering the whole room's attention.

Finishing the song Delta gave out three woeful whoas for all to hear leaving the song on a sad note, everyone in the cafetria applaud him, Delta bowed to them all and sat back down, "that was splendid," Lida clapped his hands, "looks like those lessons are paying off," Jiro commented patting him on the shoulder.
The whole group was just minding there own business until Onaji pops up out of nowhere holding a piece of paper in front of Delta's face as he was tuning the banjo, "what's that?" he asked, "oh, it's the sports festival I totally forgot about it," Midoriya brought up, "O.K what's it about?" Delta asked never hearing about it. Momo was the one to explain it, "it's a festival that the school hold every year, and students can sign up to compete. Last year Bakugo won," she told him, "I bet he was an ass about it," Delta commented, "HEY!" Bakugo shouted, "pretty much," others agreed, "SCREW YOU GUYS!" he retorted.
"I wanna enter this year master," Onaji told him, but hearing Onaji call Delta her master was a little weird, "hearing her call Delta, master, just sounds awkward," Sato commented, "I wish a girl called me her master," Mineta pouted. "C'mon, master," Onaji pressed on for an answer, everyone turned towards Delta waiting for his reply, "... No," he blunty answered shocking everyone, "wha- why?" Onaji cried out, "you're not ready yet," Delta pointed out, "c'mon, Delta, she's doing pretty well," Tsuyu defended, "well, isn't gonna cut, you're not entering," Delta contested, putting his foot down.
They can all see that Delta wasn't changing his mind, but everyone saw that Onaji, for some reason, had a guilty look, "what's with the face?" Delta asked not taking his eyes off the banjo, "I... Already signed up," Onaji admitted. A single high note was heard from the banjo, Delta looked towards Onaji looking a bit angry, "what?" he asked again, "I really though you'll be on board with this," "you thought wrong, call it off," Delta ordered her, "you can't call it off Delta, once you signed your name in there's no turning back," Ojiro informed him.
Delta shook his head in displeasure, "is there anything else I need to know?" Delta asked, "... I signed you up too," Onaji added and that pushed her master over the edge. Delta set the banjo on the table and gets up, towering over Onaji, "I can't believe you'll do something like this, without running it by me first," Delta spoke feeling vexed, "I'm really sorry master," Onaji apologised bowing her head. Delta paced around too angry to think until he had an idea to get out of it, "I just figured out how to get out of this," Delta claimed, "really how?" Midoriya asked.
The day of the tournament, "I can't believe you got Caleb to stand in for you," Uraraka spoke up on the side lines, "hey, he was psyched when I told him, he gets bet up people (hopefully not an inch of their lives), and not get in trouble with it," Delta said. Down with the other student, standing next to Onaji, Caleb had a P.E uniform fitted for him, and was really excited, "I'M GONNA TEAR SHIT UP!" he roared, "what the hell! is this even allowed?" one student questioned.
A/N: The song that Delta sung is a real song called: Gunslinger's Glory, by: The Dead South.
