It was a nice afternoon at the Vanguard Academy and classes are done for now, so everyone are walking doing whatever they usually do. In the hallways, we see Akiharu Hino walking straight when Weiss Schnee and Emilia catches up to him and handed him their reports before the camera shifted next to Sandalwood cleaning up his lockers when Micro Chips and Bright Idea approaches him.

The scene then changes to Jin Matsuriya taking a drink of water from the drinking fountain when Hamilton Uno Ror and Pina Co Lada walks past him before the scene shifted it's focus to Sakura Minamoto, Saki Nikaidou and Kotori Minami having a conversation in front of a row of lockers.

Meanwhile, we see Kiyoka Aikawa and Miho Nishizumi entering a room and out came from the same room are Andres "Singko" Alvarez, Ikkaku Madarame, Yugi Mutou and Daisuke Niwa.

Singko then spoke, "We're going on another mission again this weekend, so we need to prepare ourselves and make sure that we rest ourselves well, so we won't feel like we woke up abruptly for the mission." he advised.

Ikkaku nodded, "That's good." he replied in agreement, "Don't wanna go in a mission feeling all worn out.'' he pointed out.

Yugi spoke, "Consider ourselves lucky.'' he said, "We got days to get ready before going on another mission unlike the others." he pointed out, "I mean... I heard that the New Age Avengers just got back from their mission from the Junkyard Planet and five hours later, they were sent again on another mission.'' he stated.

Singko turns to him, "Are you serious?" he asked in surprise.

Daisuke then spoke, "Wish we were, Singko, but it is.'' he confirmed, "I heard the mission takes place in an island called Izu Oshima somewhere in the multiverse.'' he said.

"Can the higher-ups find another team for that mission?" Singko asked indecorously, "I'm pretty sure Marcus' team is worn out from their previous one.'' he pointed out in concern.

"There were no available teams at that moment except for the New Age Avengers, so they gave them the mission instead." Daisuke replied.

Ikkaku chuckled, "Sucks to be them then." he mused.

The four boys then walks pass-by Kaoruko "Kaos" Moeta with girl seen walking back and forth in front of a door of the Arts and Crafts Department, contemplating if she should enter or not.

Then Koyume Koizuka approaches her, "Kaos-chan, what's wrong?'' she asked.

Kaos turns to her, "Ah! Koyume-san!" she exclaimed in surprise.

"You've been pacing back and forth for a while now." Koyume pointing out while glancing at the door of the Arts and Crafts Department, "Are you having trouble if you should go in or not?'' she stated.

Kaos sighed, "H-Hai..." she confirmed, "I told Tsubasa-san that I'm currently having trouble with my manga, so she suggested that I join the Arts and Crafts Department to help me improve my work and get some inspiration." she stated, "But I'm getting nervous of what others will think of me?!" she confessed in panic.

"Don't worry, Kaos-chan." Koyume reassured, "I've been there several times before and the people in there are really nice!" she said with a smile.

"R-Really?" Kaos asked.

Koyume nodded, "Um! I tell you what... I'll come along with you inside to at least ease your worries." she offered.

Kaos nodded, "O-Okay..." she complied.

Koyume then opens the door and the two enters the room, the Arts and Crafts Department is really colorful and it's filled to brim with various art objects and displays. Inside the room, they see Sunset Shimmer and Luna Loud spraying paint on a wall-like portrait, they then saw Blazer doing a painting at one corner, Sai is seen doing calligraphy art on a tatami table while next to him, they saw Haruhiko Ichijou, Gray Fox and Tsubasa Katsuki working on their respective arts.

Sitting on top of one table, they saw Yui Hirasawa writing lyrics on her note book with her headphones on while Felipe Ignacio is sitting behind her writing a script for his next comedy sketch.

In the middle of the room, they saw Hifumi Yamada having a conversation with a young woman. The young woman has a semi-long black hair tied in a small ponytail dangling on her left shoulder, she has blue eyes and mole under her lips. She wears a gray long-sleeve shirt underneath a light-brown apron, dark-purple skirt over black stockings and she wears brown slippers. This is Shihoko Azuma.

Arts Teacher

Shihoko Azuma

Shihoko is checking up some drawing of girls on Hifumi's tablet, "So, you plan on adding an angsty yankee, a mild-manned little sister, a gorgeous yet snooty model and a shy, sleep-deprived manga artist in your story.'' she pointed out.

Hifumi nodded, "Are they a worthy addition to my story?'' he asked.

Shihoko handed his tablet back, "I think they're a nice addition to your story.'' she complimented, "The characters are unique on their own right, I believe their presence will keep your stories fresh.'' she stated.

Luna then spoke, "And I believe that the weebs got more reasons to start another Waifu Wars." she mused as Sunset let's out a snicker, "Red please!" she called out as Felipe threw a red can of spray to her.

Tsubasa then took notice of Koyume and Kaos, "Kaos-chan, you made it!" she mused as she runs up to the girls and grabs Kaos' arm, "Come meet everyone!" she said dragging her in the middle, "This is Kaos-chan, a fellow mangaka like me.'' she introduced.

Kaos then hid behind Koyume out of nervousness, "Uh... I'm sorry I didn't want to disturb you." the pinkhead apologized.

Shihoko walks towards them, "Welcome to the Arts and Crafts Department, you're never disturbing anyone here." she reassured, "You can come whenever you want outside of class time or after school. Anyone can create what they want, anyway they want." she said with a smile before turning to Yui, "Like Yui, whom is writing lyrics for her band." she pointed out before lifting up the headphones, making Yui look up, "Yui, I would like you to meet Kaos-chan." she introduced.

"Hey there! Nice to meet you, Kaos-chan!" Yui greeted with a big smile.

Shihoko then turns to Sunset and Luna, "Both Sunset and Luna are our experts at street art.'' she pointed out as the latter flips spray can in the air and catches it, "And Yamada-san...'' she tried to say but was interrupted by Luna.

"... draws waifus." Luna mused as Hifumi threw a piece of paper at her, making her laugh.

Shihoko then turns to Blazer, "The Arts and Crafts Department is also a place for people to relieve their stress like Blazer whom finds painting as a way to ease his mind." she pointed out as Blazer turns to them with a nod.

Tsubasa turns to Kaos, "As you see, the good thing about this place is you can say whatever you want and no one will judge you or only in good fun.'' she pointed out.

Kaos looks around before finding the voice to speak, "So... can I hang around and draw?'' she asked.

Shihoko smiled, "Your free to join us if you want?'' she requested.

Kaos then turns to Tsubasa and Koyume whom gave her a nod in response, Kaos smiled, "H-Hai!" she replied.

Bzzzttt...

Meanwhile outside the academy, we see several students hanging around the courtyard which includes Akame, Leone and Akane Owari whom are hanging out by the fountain, we then see Yosuke Hanamura and Yuu Narukami moving around on their skateboards and we see Maki Nishikino and Nico Yazawa walking forward with Pinkie Pie merrily skipping behind them.

Then we see Honoka Kousaka and Chimera Wyld standing-by the sidewalk having a conversation, "So... what should we do first on our 'hang-out'?'' Honoka asked while finger-quoting the word 'hang-out'.

Chimera rubs the back of his head, "Well... since you've been to the AniManga Cafe and the Rabbit House before, so I suggest we hang out at the RumbleTheatre to watch some movies and have snacks at the same time." he suggested.

Honoka gasped, "RumbleTheatre?! I've always wanted to go there!" she cheered.

Chimera smiled, "Then it's settled." he declared.

"By the way... what are the other Chikara Masters doing at the moment?" Honoka asked.

"Manami is currently having a meeting with the The Vanguard Academy VIPS Who Do Heartless Actions Without Giving Them a Second Thought, Himeno is hanging out with Fluttershy at the Animal Center and Selena..." Chimera trails.

At the academy's swimming pool, we see Selena von Urquia cheerfully swimming across the water while Kenny Rogers and Chad Mordetzky watches her swim from the side of the pool.

"... is being Selena." Chimera finished.

Honoka let's out a giggle, "Well then... should we get going?'' she suggested.

Chimera nodded in agreement but before the two could take a step forward, a voice caught their attention.

"Hey, Chimera!" the voice called out.

Chimera and Honoka turns around and saw a young man approaching them and to the former's surprise... it's none other than his friend, Hardbody.

"Hardbody? Is that you?" Chimera asked in surprise.

"Sup, buddy! It's been a while." Hardbody greeted before taking notice of Honoka, "By the way... who's the lovely lady?'' he asked.

Chimera rubs the back of his head, "This is Honoka Kousaka and she's...'' he introduced her but was interrupted.

"His date." Honoka quipped with a smile, making Chimera blushed.

Hardbody stares at them in shock while slowly looking at them back and forth before collapsing on his knees, "NOOOO!" he wailed, "MY FRIEND HAS FOUND HIS MATE BEFORE ME! FAITH HAS BETRAYED ME!" he cried over dramatically while Chimera and Honoka looks at each other in confusion. Hardbody then stood back up with a calm expression, "Anyway... I am very happy for you my friend.'' he said.

Chimera chuckled nervously, "Thanks.'' he replied, "So... what are you doing here?'' he asked.

"I heard you guys joined the Coalitions, so I decided to visit you and the girls." Hardbody replied, "And at the same time... I'm here to see Dan Kusou and go challenge him in a duel that will end our rivalry once and for all!" he declared in pure determination.

"Rivalry?" Honoka repeated in confusion.

Chimera sighed, "It's better not knowing." he replied, "Anyway... sorry to burst your bubble but Dan is not here at the moment.'' he pointed out.

Hardbody looks at him in shock, "What?!" he gasped, "You got to be kidding me?!" he exclaimed.

"Dan and his team, the Universal Guardians and another team, are currently at the Pokemon World in the Alola Region at the moment since their teammate, Ash Ketchum won some sort of league." he explained.

Hardbody nodded, "I see." he said, "Okay then... once I'm done visiting Manami and the others, I'll be heading towards the Alola Region to challenge Dan and then after that, I'm going to Xyndar to visit Grand." he stated.

"Grand?'' Chimera repeated, "Grand is at Xyndar?'' he asked.

"What's Xyndar? And who's Grand?' Honoka asked.

"Xyndar is an undisclosed location that is found somewhere in this world." Chimera replied, "And Grand is good friend of ours and is the Chikara Master of Fighting." he said, "And can be considered the strongest Chikara Master, so far.'' he added.

"Sugoi." Honoka said in awe.

Hardbody then spoke, "To answer your question, Chimera, yes... Grand is in Xyndar.'' he confirmed, "In fact... Xyndar is the base location of his group.'' he added.

"Grand is in a group?'' Chimera pointed out.

Hardbody nodded, "Alongside Kanna and Kyohei, Grand created a hero group that helps others across the multiverse.'' he replied, "Grand is all aware about the negative perception of us Chikara Masters, so he and the others are doing the best they could to prove everyone wrong.'' he explained.

Chimera smiled, "I see... that's really thoughtful of them.'' he said, "I'm sure that Master Regal will be delighted of what they're doing.'' he claimed.

Hardbody nodded, "My thoughts are the same.'' he replied. He then takes a look at his watch, "Welp! I better should go meet Manami and the others before I head over to Alola." he said, "Good to see you again, buddy, catch ya later.'' he said before walking away.

"See ya." Chimera said back.

Honoka turns to him, "That's a good thing." she mused, "With your friends helping others, the people will soon realize that Chikara Masters aren't all that bad.'' she pointed out.

Chimera nodded with a smile, "Yeah... that would be great.'' he replied in agreement.
