Chapter 20

"Hitoshi Shinso from general studies has gotten the better of Izuku Midoriya from the Hero Course!" Present Mic stated, "Who would've imagined this?! Will the bottom really overthrow the top?"

"That's why I said the entrance exam wasn't rational." Aizawa said getting Present Mic's attention.

"Huh? What?"

"Here's some basic data on the two of them. Since it's individual matches from here on out, I had someone compile it for me. Shinso failed the practical exam of the hero course. Since he also applied for general studies, he probably knew that would happen. His quirk is very powerful, but the practical exam consisted of fighting faux villains. That gave an advantage to those with physical attack quirks. Shinso wouldn't have been able to rack up any points with his quirk."

(Arena)

"You're lucky that you've been blessed, Izuku Midoriya, having both a Stand and a quirk." Shinso said to his frozen opponent, "I'm sorry, but I can't let you advance to the next round. I have business with Haru. Turn around and walk out of bounds."

To the shock of everyone, including Present Mic, Izuku turned around and started to walk towards the edge of the arena.

"Huh? What?!" Present Mic screamed, "Midoriya's being obedient!"

(Stands)

"Deku, why?" Ochaco said in worry.

"If you go out of bounds," Iida shouted, "you'll lose the match!"

"Not like he has a choice." Haru interjected.

"What do you mean?!" Denki asked making all the 1-A students, minus Adrian, look at Haru.

"Shinso's quirk is the reason Izuku is like this. My old friend's power is brainwashing. He can get anyone under his control if they simply answer him. Unless you have really good mental barriers, you're not safe from Shinso."

So Deku is under his control.Katsuki thought to himself, No wonder he is walking like a mindless puppet.

(Announcer Podium)

In the fitness test on the first day of school, Aizawa thought to himself, Midoriya scored pretty high for the hero course, but even in tests where he didn't use his quirk, he did better than Shinso. So if they fight normally, then Midoriya would win.

"If he can just overcome Shinso's brainwashing…" he said aloud, "Well, either way, this will end quickly."

(VIP Stands)

"BIG BROTHER!" Tatsuki and Ichika shouted, "TURN BACK! TURN BACK!"

"Forget it." Jolyne said to the twins, "He's not going to hear you. He's completely out of it."

"His opponent, Hitoshi Shinso," Jouji said, "must have some kind of mind controlling quirk, otherwise Izuku would be fighting him, not walking to the edge of the arena."

"I hope he breaks out of it." Hanabi said with worry on her face, "He'll be devastated if he loses and can't face Jonasan in the finals."

The adult Higashikatas, Thirteen and Snipes didn't say anything as they watched Izuku slowly inch closer towards the edge.

(Arena)

"Young Midoriya!" Toshinori said from the tunnel as he watched Izuku walk towards the edge of the arena, "You can't come here!"

Unbeknownst to everyone, Izuku wasn't exactly unconscious. His body may not be in his control, but his mind was still functioning. He could only watch in horror as he continued to walk toward the edge of the arena.

No! he cried out in his mind, My body's moving on its own… It's like…my head's filled with fog… No! Dang it, stop! Stop! Even though…Even though Ojiro warned me… Crud! Dang!

He then thought back to his conversation with Ojiro before the match.

(Flashback)

Ojiro had pulled him to the 1-A waiting room to talk about what he had experienced when he was under Shinso's control.

"A quirk that can control people, huh?" Izuku said in shock, "Isn't it too strong to beat?"

"Yeah, but you can probably avoid it if you know about it." Ojiro replied, "I don't remember much after I answered his question. I think that's how it works."

"So if I answer without thinking, then I'll lose right away."

"No, but it's not completely impenetrable. I said I barely remembered anything until almost the end, right? When we were running away after Shinso stole Tetsutetsu's headband, it looks like I ran into one of the horses on Team Tetsutetsu. That's when I snapped out of it. I remember what happened clearly after that."

"So, receiving a shock can get rid of it?" Izuku theorized.

"It's very likely." Ojiro answered.

"That means his quirk is not as powerful as Adrian's."

"Even so, I don't know what level of shock you need, and in a one-on-one match, you can't count on outside forces like that. Anyway, that about all I can tell you."

That last part Ojiro said while standing up from his seat, Izuku doing the same.

"Thanks!" Izuku said, "That was amazing!"

"I'm going to say something selfish…" Ojiro stated while holding his fist out to Izuku, "but please do your best for me, too."

Izuku smiled and nodded his head at the request.

(Flashback End)

Dang it… Izuku said in his head still walking to the edge, This…quickly! Even though…everyone is counting on me! In a place like this…Like this! JoJo…I'm sorry.

As Izuku continued his walk towards the edge of the arena, he saw what looked like eight people looking right at him. He couldn't see their faces, only their silhouettes and yellow eyes that stared back at him. Izuku then felt something rush through his body like a tidal wave.

What…is…this? He asked himself as he continued to walk. Unbeknownst to him, One for All activated in his left hand, on his fore and middle fingers. Mov…

"You probably don't understand," Shinso said to the still brainwashed Izuku, "but even with a quirk like this, I have my own dream. Also, I can't allow Haru to go back to the way he was before all this. Now, lose for me."

Before Izuku could take the final step out of the arena, a gust of wind blew around him, kicking up some dust. Shockingly to every, he had stopped right at the white line.

"Th-This is…" Present Mic stated, "Midoriya's stopped!"

The crowd was going wild with cheers.

"Midoriya!" Iida cheered.

"I'm…I'm so glad." Ochaco said.

"Sorry Shinso," Haru said to himself, "but it's game over for you."

His fingers are… Aizawa thought to himself seeing Izuku broken middle and fore finger on his left hand. Did he remove the brainwashing by making them explode?

Izuku looked back at Shinso, showing that he regained control of his own body.

"That's crazy…" Ojiro said with relief.

"Why?" Shinso said in shock before becoming angry and shouting at Izuku, "You shouldn't be able to move freely! I didn't see activate your Stand! What did you do?!"

I'm the one who discharged my fingers. Izuku thought to himself instead of answering Shinso, learning from his mistake. But I wasn't the one who moved them. What happened? People I didn't know came to mind, and for a second, my mind was clear! That was…

He then thought back to something All Might told him.

One for All. Passed on to me like a sacred torch.

Something clicked in Izuku's mind.

The people… He thought, The presence of the people who spun together this power…Did they save me? Is that even possible?

"What did you do?!" Shinso shouted, bringing Izuku back to reality.

Even if I think about it right now, I won't find the answer. Later…thinking can come later!

Izuku then turned to face his opponent.

He won't answer… Shinso thought in worry, Did he figure out my secret or did…? No, Haru would never tell him. He wouldn't tell anyone about my quirk unless I gave him the okay. He must've heard from that monkey from the beginning. All I can do is make him talk again…

"Say something." Shinso said to Izuku, "You can produce that much power just by moving your fingers? I'm jealous."

I felt the same way in the past. Izuku thought as he rushed towards Shinso.

"Thanks to my quirk, I've been behind from the start. Someone who's been blessed like you can't understand, can you?"

I do understand. But, it's true…I've been blessed.

"Someone like you who was born with the ideal quirk! Someone who can reach their goal!"

"That first part is where you're wrong, Shinso." Haru said to himself.

I've been blessed by others! Friends who stick by me! Family that never give up on me! That's why…

Izuku then got his hands (hand to be more precise since two fingers on his left are broken) on Shinso and started to push him towards the edge of the arena. The brainwashing quirk boy started to panic.

"Say something!" he said as he punched Izuku in the face. To his shock though, Izuku kept pushing him.

That's why… Izuku continued to think, I can't…lose either!

That's when Shinso noticed when he was being pushed towards.

He's trying to get me out of bounds! He thought and acted quickly. Knowing that he needed Izuku to stop, he hit his broken fingers. That got the reaction he needed, Izuku squinting in pain. This gave Shinso enough breathing room to pull Izuku off him.

"You've got to be kidding!" he said while trying to push Izuku out of the arena, "You get out!"

What he didn't expect was for Izuku to return the favor for hitting his already damaged fingers. He reared his head back and headbutted Shinso right below his eyes. There was an audible crunch, making Shinso yell out in pain, backing off and holding his now broken nose. Izuku wasn't done with him though. He then grabbed Shinso by his shirt, made him turn while keeping him at eye contact. Izuku then reared his leg up and back, Spartan kicking Shinso right out of the arena, making him land on his back.

"Game over, Shinso." Haru said, "You lose."

"Shinso is out of bounds!" Midnight announced, "Midoriya advances to round two!"

The crowd was going wild with cheers.

(VIP Stands)

"BIG BROTHER WON!" Tatsuki and Ichika cried out for joy.

"Talk about a big turnover." Jolyne commented, "He pulled himself out of that state just in time."

"No kidding." Hope commented, "I honestly thought he was going to lose."

"Bet you're glad to have been proven wrong." Snipe said.

"What did I miss?" said a new voice. Everyone turned to see someone walk into the room. He was a well-groomed man, who looked to be about 47 years old. His height was 5'8", as tall as Jonasan. His hair color was burgundy, his eyes being the same color. He wore an expensive looking suit, mostly for events and office related jobs. Hanabi recognized who this man was immediately.

"Daichi Watanabe!" she said with a smile, "It's so good to see you."

"Same to you, Mrs. Kujo." Daichi replied while taking a seat next to Snipes, who had a look of shock on his face, same with Thirteen.

"You know Daichi Watanabe?" Thirteen asked, "Japan's No.1 District Attorney?!"

"I think Japan's No.1 is an understatement." Hope replied with some humor.

"Did I miss my son's match?" Daichi asked.

"No, you didn't." Josuke replied, "His match is going to be the third one. You just missed Izuku's."

"Wasn't he going up against Hitoshi Shinso?"

"Yes." Snipe answered.

"Well then, I'd like to know how he was able to free himself from his quirk."

(Flashback-Nabooh City Middle School-Three Years Ago)

"Wow, Shinso, your quirk is brainwashing?" A student asked.

"Seriously?" another said, "That's amazing! I've never heard of that before!"

"I'm so jealous.." another student added.

"I can't believe you can control anyone!"

"You can do as much bad stuff as you want!"

"No one'd know it was you. Don't control us, okay?"

"Everyone says that." Shinso replied with a smile.

Everyone but my best friend. He thought to himself, Of course, if someone else had it, the first thing I'd think is that they'd use it for evil too. 'Criminal'…'It's good for being a villain, huh?' I'm used to people insinuating that about me. That's just what the world is like. Haru, whom I've known since I was six, took the insults very, very personally. He may not have a quirk, but he can throw a mean left hook. Those were the good the good old days, Haru sometimes getting in trouble for defending me when I said it wasn't necessary. That was before…before…

(Flashback End)

(Arena)

"In the finals," Shinso woke up to hearing Present Mic, "the first person to advance to the second round is Izuku Midoriya from Class A!"

(Stands)

"I was so nervous." Ochaco said after sighing in relief.

"Turning the tables at the last moment!" Iida stated, "As expected of Midoriya!"

"He headbutted that guy and then Spartan kicked him out of the arena!" Kaminari exclaimed, "Talk about claiming victory!"

"Shut up, Dunce Face." Katsuki said never taking his eyes off Izuku. That nerd…he was definitely aiming for it! He led him right into it!

His thoughts were interrupted by the vibrating of his phone. Actually, all of Class 1-A's phones were vibrating. Pulling it out, he saw that it was a post on social media by Adrian Thompson. He was planning to ignore it when he saw that it was a video of Izuku defeating Shinso. Wanting to know what it was, he hit the play button, the rest of the class doing the same.

"This is madness!" everyone heard on their phones. Some of them immediately recognized the voice as a Persian messenger from the movie 300. Though, it was dubbed over Shinso's voice when punched Izuku and stared to push him towards the edge of the arena.

"Madness?" Izuku never spoke, but hearing that one word said through their phones, many of them knew exactly what was going to happen.

"THIS!" Izuku headbutts Shinso.

"IS!" Made him turn around so that his back was facing the edge of the arena.

"SPARTA!" Spartan kicked him out of the arena, earning his victory. That last line in the video made almost everyone laugh. Even Katsuki had a hard time keeping himself from smiling.

(Announcer Podium)

Using his power on part of his body like at the fitness test…, Aizawa thought to himself, Rather than calling it the best use of his experience, it's like he's using any experience he can to force the flow to change in his favor. The headbutt and Spartan kick was something new though. It seems that some of Jotaro Kujos brutality rubbed off on him.

"Yahoo!" Present Mic exclaimed," That was kind of a boring first match, but we should praise them both for a bravely fought match. Clap your hands!"

(Arena)

Both Izuku and Shinso faced each other as the crowd started to clap and shout for such a well fought match. Izuku was holding his injured hand while Shinso had a hand on his face, holding his broken nose. After five seconds of silence, the purple haired boy broke it.

"Hey." He said getting Izuku's attention, "What I said during the match…I want to apologize for it. It was simply me trying to get you to answer back so that I could use my quirk on you, but it was still wrong."

"Well…I'd like to apologize as well." Izuku replied, surprising Shinso, "I mean…I did break your nose."

"Considering that I punched your already broken fingers, my nose getting broken was simply karma."

"Shinso, I hate to pry in your business, but whey did you want to face Haru?"

Shinso went silent and turned away. As he started to walk away though, he replied.

"I did a great wrong to Haru. I just wanted to make it right."

Hearing this Izuku was shocked. Hearing the small conversation when the Sports Festival was announced, the friendship between Haru and Shinso sounded fine, no problems, no quarrels, nothing. What could have happened that make Shinso say such a thing.

"I don't know what happened," Izuku said, "if it was something about not being able to become a hero, or a misunderstanding, I'm sure that if you and Haru talked, the problem could be resolved. Also, even with the type of quirk you have, I think you can become a hero."

Shinso heard everything but didn't say anything. He just kept walking towards the exit, until he heard the voices of his classmates.

"You were really cool, Shinso!"

That got him to stop and look up towards the stands.

"Good job!"

"I was really surprised!"

"You're the star of General Studies!"

"You put up a great fight against the guy placed first in the obstacle course. Not to mention, he was trained by Jotaro Kujo!"

Shinso couldn't believe what he was hearing. Besides Haru, his own classmates were praising him, even though he lost.

"Besides-"the student didn't finish just pointing towards some pro heroes.

"That quirk would work quite well against villains. I wish I had it."

"U.A.'s not very smart if he's in General Studies."

"Well, they've got a ton of people applying, so some things just can't be helped."

"It was the difference in combat experience, huh?"

"Yeah, it ends up making a big difference. What a waste."

"You hear that, Shinso?" one of the students said, "You're amazing!"

Shinso just stood there in shocked silence. All those times when his quirk was looked down upon because it was 'villainous', except to Haru, everyone at U.A., even pro heroes, saw it as heroic. Even Izuku saw it like that, and he was on the receiving end. He then remembered something that Haru once said to him about his quirk.

The quirk doesn't make person heroic or villainous. It's the person that makes the quirk that way.

"Depending on the results," he said without looking at Izuku, "they'll consider our transfer into the Hero Course. Remember that. Even if it didn't work this time, I definitely won't give up. I'll get into the Hero Course, get certified, and I'll definitely become a better hero than you guys!"

"You got it, Aizawa Jr." Izuku replied with a smile before he lost control of his body again. He got me! Even though the match is over, what's he…?

"I'm guessing your blonde friend gave me that nickname." Shinso replied with a snort then slightly turned to Izuku with a smile on his face while also releasing him from his quirk, "Haru is very lucky."

"Lucky about what?" Izuku asked, felling control return to his body.

"To have a friend like you."

Shinso then started to walk towards the exit. Izuku was about to turn away when he thought of something.

"Hey, wait!" he exclaimed getting the purple haired boy's attention, "I know someone who can help you with that nose!"

(Recovery Girl's Temporary Nurse's Office)

"There we are." Josuke said as Crazy Diamond finished healing Izuku's fingers and Shinso's nose. "Good as new."

Izuku had asked Josuke to heal Shinso's nose for him as an apology for breaking it, not expecting Josuke to fix his fingers as well. The said boy was playing with his nose, surprised that it was actually fixed.

"Young man," Recovery Girl said to Josuke, "Are you trying to take my job?"

"No, absolutely not. I'm just carry out a request that my friend of the family made."

"Talk about knowing people in high places." Shinso remarked turning to Izuku, "How long have you known the owner of Joestar Realty?"

"I'm impressed that you're not shouting the fact that he knows him at all." Said a new voice that walked into the infirmary, "Hello Izuku, good to see you. Hello to you as well Shinso, it's been a while."

"Mr. Watanabe!" Izuku said in shock.

"I didn't expect to see you here." Shinso added.

"You two actually think I would miss my son's participation in this festival?" Daichi asked with shock.

"No, no, no, no!" Izuku said in a small panic, "I didn't think you would miss Haru's matches for anything!"

The lawyer just laughed at the response.

"I'm just messing with you two." He then turned to the two pros in the room, "Recovery Girl, Mr. Yagi."

"A pleasure to see you, Daichi." Recovery Girl replied with a smile.

"Same here." Toshinori added, "What are you doing here, anyway?"

"I came to say hello to the boys closest to Haru," Daichi then pulled out his phone and showed the screen to Izuku and Shinso, "and to inform Izuku that he is the number 1 meme in the festival."

Both boys were puzzled at what Mr. Watanabe meant until they looked at the phone. They then saw the video that was titled 'THIS IS U.A.!' even though the final lines were 'THIS! IS! SPARTA!' Izuku looked almost embarrassed while Shinso was trying his hardest not to laugh. Even though he was the one that was kicked out, the dubbed over video was still enjoyable.

"Well, I better get going." Shinso said as he walked out, "I'll tell Haru you're here."

After hearing his footsteps fade away, Daichi closed the door and looked to Izuku.

"It's alright, Izuku." He said, "I know about Yagi being All Might. You don't have to act secretly around me."

"That's good to know." Izuku said with a sigh of relief then looked to Toshinori, "In the match with Shinso, I couldn't smile at all."

"Well, his cries hit close to home for you, huh?" Toshinori assumed.

"But that didn't mean I could lose. That's what it means to aim for number one, right?"

"Poor thing." Recovery Girl said before turning angerly to Toshinori, "You put some weird pressure on him again, didn't you?"

She ended that sentence by hitting him on the right side of his ribcage.

"It was necessary! Ouch!" Toshinori replied.

"Well, I'm going to rejoin everyone else in the V.I.P. stands." Josuke said while walking away, "Call me again if you need someone healed Izuku."

"Stop trying to take my job!" Recovery Girl exclaimed.

"I'll be going as well." Daichi added while also walking away, "It was good to see you again, Izuku. I look forward to watching you progress, as well as Haru."

"See you later." Izuku replied then turned to Toshinori after hearing Mr. Watanabe's footsteps go silent, "All Might, I had a vision…"

That got the No.1 heroes attention from massaging his sore rib cage.

"There were eight or nine people…I'm not sure exactly how many…but when it felt like my mind was filled with fog from the brainwashing, the vision appeared, as if to drive the fog away. It was like I was barely able to move just my fingertips at the moment…there was someone with eyes like you too, All Might. Was it…the people who had inherited One for All who did it?"

"Scary…what the heck?" Yagi said in a shaken tone.

"What? I'd thought you know about it!" Izuku said in a shocked tone.

"No, I also saw it before, in my younger days. It's a clear sign that you've got a better grasp on One for All."

"What does that mean?"

"I think it's like a trace of something they left behind in One for All. It's not something with intent that can interfere with you, and you can't interfere with them. In other words, that vision isn't what got rid of the brainwashing. It was that when you saw the vision, your strong emotions allowed you to overcome Young Shinso's brainwashing for just long enough to move your fingertips, I think."

Izuku listened to everything that Toshinori had told him. After three seconds of silence…

"That explanation's not satisfying at all, though…" he stated.

"Don't get to hung up about it!" Yagi exclaimed, "More importantly, don't you need to go see who you'll fight next?"

"Oh, you're right!" Izuku replied while running out of the infirmary, "Thank you very much! Goodbye!"

Right after Izuku's footsteps had faded into silence…

"You…were there too, he said." Recovery Girl stated relaying back to the vision that Izuku told them about.

"That's a good thing." Toshinori replied.

(Hallway)

Shoto was walking to attend his match, against the lighting quirked boy Kaminari, when he saw someone waiting for him.

"Another failure?" he asked the person, who turned out to be his father, Endeavor.

"Unfortunately, yes." The No.2 hero replied in a disappointed tone, "The only good news is that Watanabe refuses to drop the case."

"Watanabe? One of my classmates has that last name."

"Then you've must have met Daichi's son, Haru Watanabe."

Shoto only nodded his head and continued to walk.

"Shoto." He heard his father call, "I know it's not my place to demand anything, but…please consider using the fire side of your quirk. You will be going up against one of the students of Jotaro Kujo. I just don't want you to get seriously hurt. That man, whenever he fought any opponent, whether they be hero, villain or a common crook, he sent them on a one-way trip to the hospital. I don't want that to be my own son."

Shoto stopped walking so that he could answer.

"Father," he said, "I understand your concern and I appreciate the warning…but I made a vow. I'm going to show those people, who took mother…your wife, that even though she isn't here, her offspring will not stop using her power. Talk to you later."

"Of course." Endeavor replied as his son walked off. Once Shoto was out of site, he looked down in a sad manner. Ever since his wife, Rei Todoroki, was taken from them, Shoto had become distant from him. Even when he hired who knows how many lawyers, before meeting Daichi Watanabe, his youngest son barely conversed with him. In Endeavour's mind, he believes that Shoto blames him for Rei being taken.

I'm sorry Shoto. He thought, I promise to make it right one day.

Shoto was thinking of something else entirely while walking towards the arena.

I know you love mom, he thought, and I promise to help you when I intern under you.

(Stands)

"Oh, Deku!" Ochaco shouted at seeing Izuku walk though the stands, "Good work!"

"We saved a seat for you!" Tenya said while pointing to the empty seat that was between him and Adrian.

"Thanks." Izuku replied and walked to the seat. That's when Ojiro noticed something about the green haired Stand User.

"Midoriya, your fingers are healed." He pointed out, getting the attention of the rest of the class.

"No way!" Kirishima exclaimed, "How?!"

"Oh, Mr. Josuke healed them with his Stand." Izuku replied.

"HE WHAT?!" everyone minus Jonasan shouted.

"Yare yare daze." Said boy muttered in annoyance.

Before Izuku could explain, a loud voice interrupted.

"Thanks for waiting!" Present Mic screamed, "Next up is…these guys! Some may call him the Zapper Man, others Sparky, but for combat he may as well be called the Thunder Lord! From the hero course, it's Denki Kaminari!"

"Nobody calls me that." He said to himself while everybody cheered.

"Taking third, then fifth in the prelims! The boy that refuses to go down without a fight! He wasn't recommended admission for nothing! Also from the hero course, it's Shoto Todoroki! And now for the second match of the finals…ready…start!"

"Man, to get in U.A. by recommendation." Denki said while charging electricity into his hands and running towards Shoto, "Your mom and dad must be proud of you!"

At that moment, mentioning his mother was the wrong thing to say. One second, Kaminari was charging at Shoto, the next…

(Recovery Girl's Temporary Nurse's Office)

"What's this vibration?" All Might said in shock.

(Waiting Room)

"Did we have an earthquake or something?" Katsumi said as he picked himself up from the floor. He had fallen from the entire stadium shaking from whatever had happened. Turning towards the TV, he was shocked at what he saw. "Someone needs to teach that boy restraint!"

(Arena)

A huge glacier of ice was stuck out of the entire arena, complement of one Shoto Todoroki. The moment he had unleashed his ice quirk on his opponent, he didn't take into account how much power he was outputting. The result, a giant glacier that toward over some of the spectators in the stands. Everyone was shocked at the display, also lack of restraint, of power that they had just witnessed. Even the ever stoic Aizawa was shocked at what he just saw.

"Don't…" Denki said while trapped in the glacier, "Don't you think that's a bit much?"

"Sorry, I went overboard." Shoto apologized, "I was angry."

"Kaminari, can you move?" a literally half-frozen Midnight asked.

"O-Of course not…" Denki replied through chattering teeth, "Ow…"

"Kaminari is immobilized! Todoroki advances to the second round!"

Shoto then walked towards Denki and used his right arm to thaw him out. Izuku watched the whole thing in both shock and worry. Shoto may have looked angry, but Izuku felt that the boy was actually sad inside. His mom was taken away from him at a young age and his father was still fighting to get her back. He truly wished he could help in some way.

Unbeknownst to Izuku, one of his friends had used the chaos to sneak away. Jonasan had figured out a while ago that Izuku was never going to his problem with Katsuki Bakugo, so he decided to take matters into his own hands. He didn't know how to at first, but that changed when he saw Izuku's match with Shinso. Making sure that he wasn't noticed or followed, he walked towards the waiting area where a certain Stand User was still in stunned silence at what he was seeing.

"Katsumi Kakyoin?" Jonasan asked getting the boy's attention.

"Who's asking?" Katsumi replied.

"Jonasan Jouichirou Yaoyorozu. If you can, I need you to get a message to a Hitoshi Shinso in general studies."

AN: Sorry for the long wait. Lost my job and now I am job hunting, so I won't be typing as much. Need the money to pay the bills, otherwise I won't have internet. Thank you all for your continued support and patience. I hope to have another chapter finished and up soon. Sentinel Prime, out!
