Chapter 30

[Silence]

Sora's schedule for the day was presented to him up front and is as follows. One and a half hours will be dedicated to teaching the Keyblade wielder how to treat injuries of any sort. This lesson would be supervised and taught by Bubble Girl. After a half hour break to clean and prepare, another Hour and a half would be dedicated to teaching the boy deductive skills. This would be supervised and taught by Centipeder, while Mirio would help out both the sidekicks with setting up and tutoring Sora on the subjects. After another 30 minutes, the cycle would then repeat with Sir occasionally taking a break from his paperwork to check on the progress.

Sora was currently about an hour into the first medical lesson, he had learned and practiced how hard to press on someone during CPR, learned how to properly treat a severe burn, and also learned how to treat open wounds from the neck up properly, correcting the mistakes he made during the test. Now he was observing a few more dummies with different injuries as Bubble Girl and Togata were prepping them.

The blue skinned Pro finished setting up her dummy and while Mirio was still setting up, she decided to explain to Sora "Even though you can't be certain what injury a person gets, it has been shown statistically, more often than not that the common injury that a civilian receives in dangerous situations would be an open wound on a body part from the shoulders down. So for the last half hour of this lesson, we'll focus on treating those kinds of wounds."

Sora nodded and responded with "Got it." When Lemillion finished setting up, the lesson began. Bubble girl pointed at the three dummies and explained what wounds they were.

"One wound is caused from being pierced through the knee, the artery isn't damaged however so if you know what you're doing, you can keep them from becoming crippled for the rest of their life." She explained. "The second one has a piercing through the hand with the object still lodged in it, sometimes objects can obstruct how to treat a wound, but discerning weather or not it is safe to remove said object at that time will sometimes be critical to how long someone will be able to survive." Sora nodded and Bubble Girl pointed to the last one. "The final one has an open wound in the chest, unlike most open wounds that can be treated with bandages wrapped around the wound and applying pressure to stop any blood from continuing to leak out, some can't be treated like that and will require a different method." Sora once again nodded and then the Sidekick said, "Alright, then let's get to work."

As Sora and the other two went to the first dummy, Bubble Girl gave him a roll of bandages to work with. Sora started to unravel the bandages as the Pro was explaining how to wrap around a knee wound. Togata showed the Keyblade wielder an example by wrapping the bandages around one of the fake wounds as Bubble Girl was explaining it to him. Once Sora got it, he practiced how to do it a few times while the other two watched and pointed out anything he did wrong.

"Aside from wanting to save time by getting it right on the first try, medical equipment is also pretty expensive, even with a Hero discount. You can't exactly reuse bloody, dirty, bandages or broken bottles of whatever remedy you need. It'll definitely help save money." Bubble Girl stated.

"Hmm..." Sora replied, still focusing on the knee. "Actually...I have a question about what you just said."

"I might have an answer." She replied.

"About the whole money thing, how does that exactly work with the Hero job?" Sora asked. "Is it like...a clock in clock out hourly sort of thing, or does it run on a kind of salary? I don't really know how that part of the Hero business works, since I really only joined to help people, but I feel like I should probably know this if it's going to be my job as well." Mirio looked at Sora, and then back at Bubble Girl. He kinda understood the payment system, but he wouldn't mind a refresher on that.

The Sidekick pondered for a few seconds, before answering. "I guess you wouldn't really be taught financials during the first year of school. But I'm kinda surprised that you'd want to learn that now and not say when you get your provisional license."

"Well I'm only here for a week, and while this stuff I'm learning right now is good, I still want to soak in as much as I can for the short time we have." Sora explained.

"You're like a sponge." She commented.

"A sponge that needs to be soapy." He replied, earning a small chuckle from Togata.

"Was that a pun about my Bubble quirk just now?" She noted.

"Mayyyybe." The boy remarked with a grin.

"Okay you little joker." The Sidekick responded. "I'll try to explain it as best as I can, but it's a bit complicated."

"Got it." Sora said.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Hero A (Instrumental)]

"The way the payments system works for Heroes is the same way civil servants get their wages, which is from the government. But that's about the only similarity there is." Bubble Girl started.

"Okay." Sora nodded.

"It really just depends on the situations that are presented where you're located." She continued. "But before we get to that, I should probably go over the basics involving Hero work. The most basic goal for a Hero is to control crime wherever they're at, right?"

"Yeah." Sora replied.

"Yeah, so in order to do that, a system was set up so that when a crime happens, then the police will contact the Heroes." Bubble Girl stated. "All requests will come in at once and will be filtered by district, so the local Heroes will usually get crimes in their area, but will sometimes be requested to go somewhere else to help with a situation, if their quirk is perfect for the job or they happen to be in a nearby area."

"Alright." Sora understood.

"When the crime is resolved, then the Heroes present as well as the agency they are associated with, if they are a part of one, will file reports on the service they provided at said crime scene. This can be assisting with arrests, rescuing civilians, you get it right?" She asked.

"Yep." Sora responded.

"Once the reports are filed, they get sent to a special agency who then decides on how much the Heroes present at that crime should be paid." Bubble Girl concluded.

"So it's based on how much work you do and how important the work was at that time?" The Keyblade wielder summarized.

"Basically, though this can be a problem for some." She answered.

"Really?" The boy asked. "How?"

"I got this one." Lemillion chimed in. "Think of it like this. Heroes can get a large amount of money paid to them by helping solve a crisis in a big city and doing that daily. But what about the Pros that rarely see any action because they're in peaceful and secure cities or districts? They're not getting nearly paid as much, and since crimes mostly happen at random, they can't always plan ahead to earn any payment they might need."

"Oh, I guess that would be an issue." Sora noted.

"It was. That, combined with the ever growing popularity in Heroes, allowed an alternative method of payment in the form of side jobs." Bubble Girl took over again.

"Side jobs?" Sora asked.

"Heroes are allowed to have a second job to help cover for whatever payment issues they have from either a lack of Hero work, or whatever equipment they might want to upgrade or acquire." She explained.

"Oh. So like how Present Mic hosts a radio show and is a teacher." Sora commented.

"Great example." Togata complimented, before checking Sora's work. "Oh, you're wrapping a bit much on the knee."

"Huh?" Sora looked at the knee, and noticed that he was starting to wrap too much on the leg, which would restrict any necessary movement should the injured person need to run. "Oh, right. Sorry."

"Hey, it's fine. You're learning, right?" The third year stated.

"Right." Sora replied.

"So, yeah, that covers how the pay works. Any other questions?" She asked the boy as he was redoing the bandaging one last time.

"Uh...I guess, if that's how the Hero thing works, what does a Hero do to pass the time when nothing is happening?" Sora wondered.

"Oh, that's left for the Hero in question to decide." The blue skinned woman answered. "In my case I just help out Sir with paperwork or practice my humor to try and avoid getting into trouble with him."

"O...kay?" Sora replied, unsure if he wanted to ask what she meant. "Well I think I got this figured out, now."

The two of them checked his work and he got it done in the most optimal way at the moment. The three then moved over to the next dummy and went over what to do about the hand wound.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Among Kosei]

"Ok, so involving a wound like this, one would think that removing the object lodged in the hand is the first thing to do, right?" Bubble Girl started. "While the object does need to be removed in order to properly treat it, if you don't have the tools on hand before you do so, then...well..." She grabbed the bottle of fake blood and then without warning, squeezed it in front of Sora, letting a good amount of liquid burst out and almost hit him in the face. "That, and worse will happen for as long as the wound stays open, or until the victim runs out of blood in that area. Preferably, you'd take the former of those two options. So have something clean to cover the wound fast before you bandage it up. It can be a sterile pad, to a few thick tissues, as long as it can soak up the blood until proper medical care arrives."

Sora nodded and replied "Ok."

"Now involving the actual removal of the object, if you're lucky, you have a set of tweezers, but for the sake of being a bit more realistic, let's say you don't. You're gonna need to lift the hand up above the heart so you can reduce any bleeding when you decide to remove the object, and when removing the object, you'll want to be fast but still careful to not cause any extra damage while removing the object. Pull it out as straight as you possibly can and do your best to not to twist the object to loosen it up, unless you want to scramble the insides of the hand. Under stress it can be pretty difficult, I will admit that. But if you know what to do and focus on remembering that, then you can reduce the stress of the situation significantly."

"Signifawhat?" Sora tried to repeat.

"A lot." She said. "You'll have a lot less stress while removing the object."

"Oh, got it." The boy replied.

"Get the bandage unwrapped and place an end on whatever you have to cover the wound before you get started and when you're ready, remove the object and get the material you're planning on using to cover the wound where it needs to be with an end of the bandage on top of the piece covering the area, preventing as much blood from coming out as possible before you start bandaging up the wound." Bubble Girl explained while Togata was performing the actions in front of Sora as an example. "When actually bandaging up the wound, keep pressure on it and close the victims hand around the object covering the wound, leaving only the thumb out. Once that's finished, you start wrapping the bandage around the hand. Wrap it as many times as you need to, to cover the entire hand except for the thumb if it is uninjured."

"Okay." Sora was keeping up as he watched Mirio do it and listened to Bubble Girl.

"Press down on the thumb to test the blood circulation. If the flow comes back in around three seconds, then you're golden. You can't actually test this part with the dummy, but It's still important to know." She explained.

"Ok...right." The boy was going over what she said in his head to remember what to do. "Ok, I think I got it."

"Then take out the object piercing the other hand and treat that wound." She instructed.

[Silence]

Sora got to the other hand and began treating the wound, taking everything he was just taught and putting as much of it into action as he could. He botched it the first few times, but he also got it right a few more times. After enough time passed, they finally moved on to the last dummy for this lesson.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST An Abdominal Investigation]

"Ok. Last wound to cover for this lesson." Bubble Girl stated. "Like I said before, you can't always wrap a bandage around an open wound. For a chest wound like this you need a flat patch that won't leak when it's placed on the wound. Plastic wrap, a flat card, even a cell phone can work if you don't have anything else, just make sure it fits the criteria. You'll also need tape to keep the object you're using in place."

Sora nodded and said. "Ok. Makes sense."

"Good." She replied before continuing. "Clean the object you're planning on using as the patch before placing it on the wound. After it's where it needs to be, tape the patch down on three sides. You need to keep one side open to allow any air to escape from the open wound. Make sure that the air is only flowing out of the wound because you don't want the person's lungs to collapse from air flowing in there."

"Understood." Sora replied as he watched Togata perform the actions.

"When the patch is on, make sure that you clean off any blood leaking out of the open area to make sure any air isn't trapped inside, and also make sure to keep an eye on the victim's head, neck and hands for anything abnormal. If the fingers, lips or neck start turning blue, redo the patch. Same goes for if they have veins bulging from their neck, or if their chest starts acting up from being unable to breathe."

The Keyblade wielder nodded in response as he watched his upperclassman undo the patch and hand him the tape. "You're up Sora." Mirio said.

"Got it." Sora complied and decided to try it with his phone the first time. After he finished making the patch and placing it on, he would take it off and try it again with another clean flat object. He continued this pattern until it was finally time to stop.

[Play KH3 OST Innocent Times -cutscene-]

"Whew." Sora sighed in relief. He was starting to get tired of looking at fake bodies, and the fake blood on his clothes and arms was also starting to dry up and irritate him. "Glad that's over for now."

"Getting tired of treating fake wounds?" Bubble Girl asked.

"More like I couldn't take all this stuff on my arms and costume for much longer." He replied.

"Not a fan of blood?" Lemillion guessed.

"Not a fan of staining my costume." Sora said.

"I didn't take you for a neat freak." Togata commented.

"Not me. But Moogle hates this kind of stuff." Sora stated.

"Oh, the guy who fixed my visor?" Mirio remembered.

"Yep." Sora answered. "He's not too big a fan of scrubbing off stains, but he doesn't trust anyone else with my Hero suit, except me, so I try not to get it too dirty."

"You can clean the costume when we're finished for the day." Bubble Girl said. "For now, go wash the stuff off your arms and take a break."

"Got it." Sora replied as he left to do just that.

[Play KH2.5 OST A Walk In Andante]

During the time Sora had his break, he took out his phone and decided to text every member of his class and ask how they're doing during their internships. He got a few replies immediately, and some others took a while to respond, and some just didn't reply at all or didn't see it yet.

Ochako apparently also discovered how the payment system worked while she was on Patrol with Gunhead, who was actually pretty friendly for a Hero that prioritized fighting. He was glad that she was doing well.

Kirishima ended up getting paired with Tetsutetsu at his internship with a guy named Fourth Kind. They also learned the payment method but after that, they were getting drilled into their heads as well as punched there about manners and etiquette. Sora felt bad about getting his friend in trouble by accident and decided to leave it at that.

Izuku apparently learned that he was using his quirk wrong, only thinking of it as a super move when he should just be thinking of it as a natural part of his body. The Keyblade wielder was definitely happy to hear that Midoriya was making big progress with his quirk.

Jiro, who was interning with Death Arms, texted how she was exhausted from all the physical activities she had to do from the start and how Sora was lucky that he was getting a break. He felt sorry for her and texted back a few cheers and words of encouragement to hopefully keep her in high spirits.

Tsuyu texted how the Pro she was interning with who was named Selkie was a pretty cool guy, though she's only been doing a set of drills that the rest of the Pro's crew was also doing. Sora was glad that she was doing okay and figured that she'll do fine.

Mineta just complained about how he was cleaning up Mount Lady's House for his internship with her, but Sora just chuckled at that and was glad that she wasn't dealing with him being a creep to her.

Momo texted about how she along with Itsuka from Class 1-B were interning with a hero named Uwabami. The two girls just stood around and watched the Pro as she was filming a commercial as part of her side job. Yaoyorozu emphasized that there had to be something she was supposed to be paying attention to, but for now couldn't figure it out, only concluding that popularity was unavoidable when being a Hero. Sora just rubbed the back of his head and texted back some words of encouragement as well as asking her to tell Kendo that he said hi as well as encourage her too.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Forever No. 2]

Shoto texted to Sora that he was going out to observe his father, who he was interning with. Endeavor was apparently planning on showing Todoroki his version of what it meant to be a Hero, but the flame user said he wasn't planning on going down the same path. Sora was proud of that.

The rest of the class either didn't respond or didn't see the message yet. Normally Sora would be fine with that, but one of the people who saw the message and didn't respond was Tenya, and that was strange, because he usually responds within the first few minutes after seeing a message, even if it was to say he couldn't talk at the moment, he would text that. But this time, nothing.

[Silence]

Before he could get a chance to think about it more, he noticed that his half an hour was almost up. He used the time he had left to get up, get himself ready and head over to where he and Centipeder were supposed to do his lessons. He arrived about a minute before his break was finished and waited patiently for the Sidekick to show up.

Once it was time, Sora saw Centipeder turning the corner and the two of them greeted each other and entered the room together. Originally The boy was expecting to do another scavenger hunt, or maybe he'd be learning about how and where to look for hidden objects, keeping in line with the whole object of interest idea from the assessment, but what Sora saw was very different.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Deku's Shock]

He looked at the table in front of the two and saw stacks upon stacks of documents. There were so many sheets of paper on top of eachother that Sora was wondering if this world had a deforestation problem, there were that many papers. He went pale from that.

"This is what's going to hopefully be covered throughout the entirety of the week." Centipeder stated. "These are all of the recorded and solved cases of crime that have happened ever since the Hero job was created. In order to improve your deductive skills, you'll read through and study one case at a time for as long as we have and should you have any questions about the case you're reading, feel free to ask for my assistance."

"Uh...Right." Sora replied.

[Silence]

It felt like an eternity of confusion for the boy as he had no idea what he was supposed to be studying. Each case he read through took about six to seven minutes and he went over the cases in about three or four more, making an average of ten minutes studying a case to see the deductive skills learned, but every single case was solved differently.

One was an overly complicated series of murders made by a serial killer that was solved through connections to theatrics. Another was a kidnapping solved through relation with the assailant. Another being an organized crime group getting arrested through all the connections made with them selling drugs. And another bunch that just seemed to be solved in different ways.

When Sora finished up with his ninth case, it was a few minutes before this lesson would be over. At this point he asked Centipeder "I get that this kind of stuff is necessary to know, but I have no idea what all the similarities in these are."

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Mystery]

The Pro looked at Sora and responded accordingly. "Let's go over the first three cases you studied and help you see what to look for in the next lesson. The first case was a series of murders that were solved through their connections to theatrics, allowing the suspect to be found through an accurate prediction."

"Yes." Sora said.

"The second case was a kidnapping of several people that was solved due to the assailant having relations to every victim, therefore narrowing down the list of suspects as well as potential victims until the kidnapper was found in the act." The bug headed Hero explained.

"Right." Sora replied.

"And the third case was a drug selling case organized by a group of criminals who each had connections to different buyers, and by tracing those connections, allowed the group to be found and apprehended."

"Yes." The Keyblade wielder said.

"All of these cases have one thing in common, and it involves how they were solved." Centipeder informed Sora as he listened. "There was always a pattern to follow. When looking at cases with villains, especially now, no matter what, there will always be a pattern, whether it is because of a personal preference, the quirk involved, the personality of the suspect, or how much they believe they need to do to get the message across. Almost every villain has a set pattern."

Sora was finally starting to get it as the Sidekick continued talking. "Even in today's age, some villains have a type of routine. There are a few unsolved cases I can think of straight away, like the multiple murders that are happening due to blood being drained from the throat in run down areas. Or the multiple cases of burnt corpses in a few cities close to one another."

"So the lesson here is to look at the patterns in a villain's routines and then you can find a way to predict where they'll be?" Sora guessed.

"It's the key to sharpening your deductive skills." Centipeder explained. "I can't just take on a case and have you be a part of it, but I can show you these previous cases and help you learn from them. Hopefully you have been."

"Well thanks to that explanation, I think I can learn from these now." Sora responded. "I didn't really know what I was doing, but now I do, so next time, I'll be ready."

"That's good to hear." Centipeder remarked. "Now go on and take your break. It's been 90 minutes."

"Thank you for the lesson." Sora respectfully said to him before leaving.

"Try to put what you've learned to practical use in the future." The Pro recommended.

"Got it." Sora responded as he left.

[Silence]

Sora decided to take what Centipeder had just told him and do that right away. He took out his phone and decided to look up the Hero Killer case for two reasons. First off, the Keyblade wielder could check his own progress on this lesson if he could find any pattern on his own. Secondly, and this was the more important reason out of the two, it would hopefully calm his nerves about his friend Iida's current situation.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Spread Anxiety]

He looked up all the stories he could on this guy and he found seven news articles and a few reports in those articles. The first news article showed the first four people he killed, where they were found and that was it. The second article showed another five victims, one of them survived but never recovered, explaining how they couldn't do anything as the Hero Killer cut them all over. The third article showed another four killed, all the same way as the last two cases.

The fourth case showed another six Pros injured beyond recovery, but only one was able to speak at all, sharing their encounter, which matched the pattern of the Hero Killer at this point. Vacant and enclosed or narrow spaces seemed to be the Villain's preference when attacking. The fifth case showed a total of eight Pros injured beyond recovery, half of them crippled for life, and the other half in comatose states with near fatal wounds. The sixth case was his highest tally yet as he killed five Pros and injured another eight beyond recovery. The reason why the body count was so high was because all the Pro's attacked were at the very least paired up, but it didn't matter.

Sora already saw a few patterns here. First off, the victims were always bleeding out from wounds that most likely came from a blade. Secondly, they were almost always in secluded areas with limited movement. Lastly, Stain never stopped at one. At the very least, four Pros had to be dealt with before he would move on.

Sora looked at the seventh article and could see from the title that he wasn't going to like this. Ingenium's run in with Stain. He was the most recent one to be attacked, but what the Keyblade wielder was more concerned about was that the Turbo Hero was also the only one attacked in Hosu so far. That meant that if he was correct about the pattern, then The Hero Killer is still in Hosu. The same place where Tenya, who as of current wasn't acting like himself, is interning right now.

[Silence]

Sora was then pulled out of his train of thought, when he felt a pair of hands slightly shake his shoulders for a few seconds. The boy turned around and saw that it was Mirio as the blonde then stated "You're gonna be late for Bubble Girl's second lesson if you stay here."

"Huh?" Sora replied before he looked at the clock and noticed that his half hour break was almost over. "Oh. I...I guess I lost track of time. Sorry." He put his phone away and began walking with Togata to where he needed to go.

"So what got you so distracted anyway?" The third year was curious.

"Nothing. I was just uh...practicing my deductive whatever it was called." Sora said.

"Really? On your break? I guess you really liked that subject." Mirio guessed.

"Not...really." Sora stated. "I just didn't understand what I was supposed to do until near the end of the lesson. Now, I kinda do."

"Well that's good to hear." Togata replied, with a chipper smile.

"Yeah." Sora agreed with him, looking away for a moment.

Lemillion noticed the difference in his underclassman's behavior. Despite only knowing him for a day, he knew that Sora was genuine with him when they first met, and this didn't seem like him at all. "Hey, Sora." He started. "You okay? You look a little less positive than you were two hours ago."

"Huh?" Sora replied. "Oh, yeah I'm good. Just...had something on my mind."

Mirio, though somewhat hesitant, decided to push further, suggesting "Is it something that you'd maybe want to talk about?"

The Keyblade wielder paused for a second, thinking about whether or not he should. He only knew Togata for about a day, but he definitely seemed like a good guy. But he also didn't want to stop the lessons he was being taught off of what could hopefully just be him overreacting. After a few more seconds, he budged, replying with "Sure, but later. Maybe after all my lessons."

Mirio smiled once more and patted Sora on the back, saying "Alrighty then. Let's get you to your next lesson then." With that, the two of them went back to Bubble Girl to start Sora's second set of lessons in medical treatment.

During the second set of lessons, Bubble Girl had also noticed Sora wasn't as positive as he was before, but since she only just met him a few hours ago, she decided to not mention it. The boy still paid attention and did the best he could during their lesson, so that's all that mattered right now.

After that lesson, and Sora's break, the boy went back to Centipeder, who like Bubble Girl, noticed that he wasn't as positive as he was near the beginning of the internship, but also like his fellow sidekick, the Pro chose to not talk about that and just focus on teaching Sora what he needed to know. The Keyblade wielder did a bit better than the first time, now that he knew what he was looking for. During his break he tried to call Tenya, but no answer.

Wash, rinse, repeat for the next four hours and the third and final sets of lessons from both Pros were finished, and it was now dusk. After the lessons, Sora no longer needed his Hero Costume, and since Lemillion was also no longer needed today, the two school boys were getting changed out of their suits.

[Play KH3 OST Lives on in our Hearts -cutscene-]

Mirio decided to break the silence. "So, about earlier today."

"Yeah, that." Sora started talking as he was putting a pair of pants on. "After my lesson with Centipeder, I decided to look up a case that I was wondering about, mainly to try and calm my nerves about someone."

"Calm your nerves?" Togata repeated as he was folding his cape. "What case has got you stressed out?"

"The Hero Killer, but I'm not nervous about him." Sora stated as he was putting deodorant on. "I was nervous about my friend, and I still am, to be honest."

"...How so?" Mirio asked as he was switching from his boots to normal shoes.

"My friend is currently in Hosu, the place where the Hero Killer last attacked a Pro." Sora explained as he put a t-shirt on. "I decided to look into the Hero Killer case and it looks like this Stain guy takes out at least four Pros per city."

"Ok." The blonde haired boy replied as he was putting on his shirt.

"Well only one Pro was attacked so far in Hosu, so if my guess is correct, then my friend and the Hero Killer are in the same city." The brown haired boy said as he was putting his shoes on.

"So you're worried that your friend is gonna run into him." Mirio guessed while putting on his vest.

"I'm worried that I won't get a chance to talk to him." Sora corrected as he finished getting dressed. "The last time I saw him, he wasn't acting like himself, but I couldn't do anything, because we had to do our internships. We promised to talk the next time we saw each other, but I just can't shake the bad feeling I have in my gut that something bad is gonna happen to him and I can't stop it."

"You're worried that you won't be there when he needs you." Togata understood as he finished getting dressed. "Hmm..." The Keyblade wielder was slightly confused as to what Mirio was pondering over, but he got the answer when the third year spoke again. "I think I might know just how to get rid of that feeling."

"Wait, really?" Sora responded.

"You know Sir's quirk, right?" Mirio asked.

"I can't remember it off the top of my head." Sora told him. It was the best way he could say no without looking dumb for not knowing Nighteye's quirk.

"He can see a person's future for a short while." Togata informed him. "Why don't we go ask him to use his foresight on you and let him tell you when you see your friend and if he's ok."

"He can do that?" Sora replied, very surprised.

"Yeah, as long as you ask and he's fine with it." Mirio confirmed.

Sora hesitated for a moment before asking the upperclassman. "Do you think he'll say yes?"

"Why don't we go find out." Togata suggested.

The underclassman once again paused for a moment, thinking about it, before saying "Sure."

[Silence]

After walking up the stairs, and through the halls, the two boys were just outside Sir's office and Mirio knocked on the door. Almost immediately they heard Nighteye's voice answer "Enter." and the boys did so. Sir glanced at the two before going back to his paperwork. "If you're going to try and make me laugh, the direct approach rarely ever works."

"Uh...sorry Sir, but I didn't come to do that." Sora told him.

"Then make whatever you're here for fast." Nighteye requested. "While you may be finished with your Hero work today, I still have much to do."

"Well...uh...you see, Sir I was...uh..." The boy stuttered. He was very uncertain about this idea for one huge reason. It runs the risk of Sir finding out about the world order. But at the same time, the bad feeling in Sora's gut was just getting worse throughout the day, and if it keeps getting worse, then he won't last the whole week.

Togata decided to speak for his underclassman as he said "Sora's worried about a friend of his who's going through a hard time." Sir nodded and let Mirio continue. "The two promised to talk later, but Sora isn't sure how later that will be and he feels like his friend needs this talk really badly. So I recommended that he ask you to use your foresight on him so he knows if the two will talk soon."

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Three Secrets]

Sir stopped what he was doing and looked over at his work study student. "Pardon?" He replied. "You want me to use my foresight on my intern to tell him when he's seeing his friend."

Sora spoke up this time. "A friend who's not acting like himself right now. I tried texting and calling, but he won't answer and...I just can't shake this bad feeling in my gut that I won't be there to help him."

"Yeah." The third year student added. "Besides, you already have this week scheduled out. Why not just use your foresight to just check on Sora's break times and after hours for the week, no harm in that, right?"

Nighteye just looked at the boys, making sure that this was serious, and after some debating, he reluctantly instructed Sora. "Sit on the chair in front of me and look straight forward."

"Are you..." Sora started.

"Yes." Sir answered. "Now do as I say before I change my mind."

"Oh. Yes Sir!" The Keyblade wielder complied and sat down, looking straight ahead. "Oh, and my friend's name is Tenya Iida. He's a bit taller than me, has blueish hair and glasses."

Nighteye nodded as he leaned forward a bit and placed a hand on Sora's arm, then made direct eye contact with the boy. At this moment, Sir's eyes changed from yellow irises to purple almost camera lense looking eyes. He let go of Sora and looked deep in thought for about ten seconds.

The Pro's eyes then reverted to normal and the expression of them had just barely shifted, but neither of the students had noticed, since the light was reflecting off of his glasses, making it impossible to see them. Nighteye then told Sora. "You'll talk to him in roughly two days from now."

"Wait, really?" Sora replied. "That soon?"

"Yes." Sir conformed. "And he's the one who starts it."

That made the feeling in Sora's gut go away almost instantly. Iida not only talks to him, but it's gonna be really soon. The boy couldn't help but smile and say "Thank you, so much Sir. Oh man. That really helped."

Sir nodded and once both of them left, he called Bubble Girl and Centipeder on their phones and said. "Come to my office in an hour. I have some news and revisions we need to plan out for the next two days."

And here we go. This chapter was a bit annoying to write for a few reasons. First off, I had to do extensive research in both medical and deductive reasoning. I watched enough EMT videos and crime scenes for my search engine to start recommending these to me on my YouTube homepage. Secondly, though it seems like filler, it's a necessary chapter, just like the other chapters that felt like filler, they had their reasons to be included and still hold some importance. Lastly I, just like you guys want to write the Hosu incident as much as you guys want to read it. I'll probably start writing the next chapter as soon as I post this as long as I'm still in the mood. I do want to thank you guys for your patience though, as when this story started, it was a chapter made in a week or less, but now it's a chapter a month or later. I did say that I would post whenever I finished the chapter and I would write when I'm in the mood, but I still feel like thanking you people for sticking with this inconsistent schedule. Aside from that, I hope you enjoy this chapter and until I decide to upload again. ;)
