Hey guys. I know I've been absent from the scene for a while, and I owe you guys an explanation. To summarize it, lots of stuff happened during those months. Some good, some bad, and some terrible. To get the terrible out of the way, I lost one of my two dogs on September. Then I lost my pet rabbit on October, and now, I am on my last few days with my second dog at the time of posting this chapter. It has been back to back and it is justifiably keeping me out of the mood to write. Now the bad stuff. I currently don't have my own room, as my house has a leak of water that is under the foundation, and the only way that can be resolved is to redirect the water flow. The pipes start outside of the house where my room is at, so they need to literally cut open the walls in my room and most of my house to do that. And that process will apparently take at least a month and a half to go through. I'm currently posting this from my sister's room, as she let me set up my computer in here. And to end things off on a good note. The only good reason why I have been so busy and not always writing is...I got a girlfriend. And not a toxic one that treats me like a wallet. One that I like to spend time with and who likes to spend time with me. She's essentially the Kairi to my Sora. So yeah, that's why I've been gone for so long and might end up being gone for equally as long involving the creation of the next chapter, so for now, enjoy this one.
Chapter 91
[Silence]
Vanitas was leaning his back on the wall, resting between two crates that Magne and Mr. Compress were sitting on. Himiko was sitting in front of the crate that Compress was on, while Tomura stood in front of all of them. They were waiting for someone to enter the warehouse that they were currently at, as a meeting was scheduled here. Spinner was busy on a patrol to keep Heroes away from the place, Dabi was excused from this, as he was in the process of scouting out another potential recruit, and Kurogiri was still absent, due to him still looking for that other new recruit.
Before any small talk could be made, Vanitas spoke up. "Two people are outside."
"Sounds like Twice has arrived with his catch." Shigaraki replied.
Outside the warehouse Twice and the man with the plague doctor mask exited the car and approached it. The man coughed before speaking up. "The air is practically made of dust here. It's gonna make me sick."
"Join the club." Twice told him. "The guys inside have been sick for a while."
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Overhaul]
As Twice opened the door and the pair entered, The present members of the League took notice of the man with the plague doctor mask. Tomura seemed to recognize the man and was pleased. "Well now. You brought us a pretty big catch, huh, Twice."
"You think so?" The man in the mask replied. "Strange, coming from you. The League of Villains."
"What gives?" Magne wondered, being out of the loop. "Is this guy famous or something?"
"My master showed me a picture of him." Shigaraki explained. "He's what you call 'Yakuza'. The young head of the Shie Hassaikai."
"The Eight Precepts of Death?" Vanitas translated. "That is trying so hard to sound edgy it fails."
"Ignore my colleague in the back. He has a habit of showing no respect to people he doesn't know." Tomura told the young head. "To what do we owe the pleasure of the young head's company?"
"He's the number two of the whole gang?" Magne realized, starting to get giddy. "Ooh, I've never met anyone like him before. He smells so dangerous. How exciting."
Toga was still confused and spoke to Mr. Compress. "What's the deal? We're all criminals here, so how is this guy different?"
"Ah, allow me to tell you a story." Compress began. "In the past, there were many different scary troupes that ran the underworld. After Heroes started thriving though, they slowly but surely began to disband. When All Might took the stage, their era was over. The yakuza survivors that weren't caught became rent-a-thugs for Villain groups. In other words they were the lowest form of criminal, barely scraping by to make a living." Compress took a look at the yakuza in front of them. "Frankly, they're obsolete. An endangered species."
"Not a very good selling point if they're so dated and rare." Vanitas commented.
"Endangered species, huh?" The young head repeated Compress' words, choosing to ignore The Dark Remnant. "I guess that's true."
"Yeah, what's a yakuza thug from the slums doing here?" Magne questioned. "Let me guess, you're excited about All Might's retirement too?"
"It's good that he's gone, sure. But I'm more interested in All For One's absence." The young head replied, earning the group's full attention. "The dark emperor who ruled over the shadows. The old timers always feared him. Even after rumors of his death. Honestly though, most people my age thought he was an urban legend."
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST The Power of All For One]
"You can imagine the shock when he showed up in the flesh." The yakuza continued. "But in the end, the big bad was thrown into Tartarus, and the Symbol of Peace retired. Which means those of us in the shadows and those in the light are both leaderless. So, who will step up to take their places?"
"You know who my master is, but you've still got the nerve to ask that? Sounds like a challenge." Tomura replied, feeling threatened. "I'm the next leader. Even now, I'm gathering my troops. Our numbers continue to increase. With our combined power, I'll turn Hero society to dust."
"You have an actual plan?" The young head questioned in a doubting manner.
"Watch your tongue, and your tone." The League Leader told him.
[Silence]
At this point, it was clear to Vanitas that this man was not here to be recruited. He was here to scope out a rival group. At this point he began to sense people with malicious intent from outside the building, and at least two entering the building from the shadows. Most likely the other yakuza members that were loyal to this guy. If he didn't just deal with the Heartless a few days ago, he would have just summoned them to handle the group closing in on them, but the Heartless needed time to regrow their numbers to a point where they could actually be a threat and not just a recurring inconvenience, so for now he chose to wait until something causes this group to come in, and simply stared at the young head in front of him.
"I thought you came here to join up with us." Shigaraki said.
"A goal without a plan is just a wish." the young head spoke up as Twice began to realize he made a mistake in bringing this guy here. "If that's what you're offering, why should I join you? What happens after you increase your forces? Do you have any idea how you'd even organize your League?"
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST It Sounds Scary at Midnight]
"You had the Hero Killer Stain at your side. Muscular. Moonfish." He listed off. "All, first class game pieces. And you lost them. Maybe you just didn't know how to play the game. You can't even manage a few crazy people, but you want to build an army? What happens when that power spirals out of control?" The worst part was, he had a point, but he continued talking. "You need direction to achieve your goals, and I have a plan. I didn't come here today because I wanted to join you."
Tomura spoke to Twice. "You brought this idiot here without knowing his intentions, Twice."
Vanitas sensed the people outside coming closer, and was ready to summon Void Gear, as he could also sense the rising tension and anger coming from the other League members.
As The S rank Villain was getting more stressed, the yakuza spoke up again. "In order to execute my design, I need money. Unfortunately, there aren't many people looking to invest in some obsolete, small-time yakuza. Now your group on the other hand has widespread name recognition." He then told them what he wanted point blank. "Put yourself under me. Make me your new leader, and I'll show you exactly how to use the right tools."
[Silence]
There was an intense aura in the area, and Vanitas knew that what the other League members do will determine if a fight breaks out here or not, most of all, what Tomura does. He expected a fight, but the Dark Remnant was surprised when he heard the League Leader simply say "Leave." Was there not going to be a fight after all?
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Hero Killer]
He spoke too soon as Magne went forward with her magnet unraveled. "Sorry about ya, small fry, but we didn't band together to serve under somebody's boot!" She activated her quirk and the yakuza was pulled towards the transgender villain. "The other day, I met with an old friend. She's a gentle soul, but she supports me, even knowing about my past. You know what she said? 'Those who are bound by the chains of society laugh at those who aren't.' I'm here because I don't want to be bound by anything!" The man removed his glove as she shouted at the top of her lungs and thrusted her magnet at his head. "We're free to decide for ourselves exactly where we belong!"
As the magnet made contact with his head, the yakuza touched Magne's arm with his exposed hand, quickly sliding his index finger on it, and in almost an instant, Magne's upper body convulsed and bursted into an explosion of blood, instantly surprising everyone. "No..." Toga uttered. "Big Sis Mag..."
As Magne's legs fell back, the spot that the yakuza was standing at was covered in a red mist and raining blood, courtesy of whatever the young head's quirk did to the now dead transgender villain. "Just remember, you made the first move." He growled at them, before looking disgusted and trying to wipe off the blood on his jacket. "Ugh. I'm filthy now. That's why I hate the aftermath."
Mr. Compress immediately sprung into action, planning to avenge his fallen ally and protect his still living ones. "Compress, wait!" Tomura warned him.
"No! I have to seal this guy away!" Compress yelled out as he reached the yakuza.
Vanitas summoned Void Gear, but then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw something small enough to be a bullet go straight for and impact Mr. Compress, hitting his arm, but it did no damage to him.
Once Compress made contact with the yakuza, something was off. "Why isn't my quirk working?!"
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" The young head roared out, as he swiped at Compress' arm, making it explode in more blood and making the villain scream in agony.
Shigaraki blitzed forward, intent on finishing this now. Another bullet came towards him that he didn't see, but in a surprising turn of events, Vanitas warped next to Tomura and caught the bullet with his fingers, before pointing Void Gear towards the direction of the bullet's trajectory and shooting a Firaga blast there. Forcing the yakuza marksman in the shadows, also wearing a plague doctor mask, to quickly dive out of the way and fall to ground level to escape the fiery explosion that would have surely killed him.
"SHIELD!" The young head called out, seeing the immediate danger he was in as another yakuza wearing a different plague doctor mask got in front of him and took the strike that Shigaraki threw at him, making the yakuza underling decay into dust, while the League Leader and the Dark Remnant backed away, immediately knowing the situation the group was in.
[Silence]
"Now I get it." Tomura said as the rest of the yakuza members outside, all wearing different plague doctor masks, busted in through the door and backed up their leader and the shooter that barely avoided getting blown up by fire. "You should have just started with this. Saved us all some time."
"That was a close one, Overhaul." The shooter said as he regrouped with the other yakuza.
"You're late." The man now known as Overhaul addressed him.
"And I botched a shot. But at least we know they work." The shooter said, referring to the bullets that only Vanitas had noticed.
"Where'd they come from?" Twice was confused. "We weren't followed, I swear!"
"One of them probably has a tracking quirk.' Shigaraki gave Twice the benefit of the doubt.
"Hard to be objective in this situation." Overhaul said, still trying to get himself clean. "Besides, killing each other isn't productive."
"Then you should have just blown off Magne's arm, like you did with Compress. You'd have gotten your point across." Vanitas spoke up, sounding uncharacteristically annoyed to his surprise.
"What's done is done." The young head replied as he looked at the remains of his human shield and Magne's lower half. "A death on both sides. Let's take a breather." He then walked away. "We'll cool our heads and try again later. I owe your side an arm."
"BASTARD! I'LL EVISCERATE YOU!" Twice yelled out, holding Compress in his arms.
"Tomura. Let me cut him. Real quick." Toga angrily requested.
"No." Shigaraki told them.
"IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY!" Twice yelled out.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Master Criminal]
"No." The League Leader reigned him in. "Vanitas, tend to Compress."
"Right." The Dark Remnant casted Curaga on Mr. Compress to dull the pain and stop the bleeding, but it unfortunately couldn't regrow an arm, so he was forever crippled, and his wound was still mostly open. To Vanitas' surprise he felt...relieved but...concerned? "What? Why do I feel...?" he thought to himself.
"Smart decision, Face Palm Guy." One of the yakuza spoke up.
"I don't want to rush you, but the sooner we talk, the better." Overhaul stated as he threw a card out to them. "Think things over carefully. Consider how your organization should be run. Then when you've calmed down, call me."
"They gotta pay for this!" Twice said to Tomura. "Why can't I go after him?"
"As good as my healing is, it isn't gonna get Compress fully fixed up." Vanitas told twice.
"Yeah, we need to get Atsuhiro to a doc." Himiko agreed with him.
"...Right." Twice understood now.
"My power...wouldn't work." Mr. Compress uttered out. "Damn that hurts."
"It must have been this." Vanitas held up the bullet he caught and showed it to Shigaraki. "I saw Compress get tagged with one of these out of the corner of my eye. After he got hit, his quirk didn't work."
"A Quirk erasing bullet?" Tomura saw where Vanitas was going. "How is that possible?"
"You tell me." He gave the bullet to Shigaraki. "I'm not exactly an expert when it comes to Quirks. What about that doctor guy? You think he could figure it out?"
"Kurogiri is the only one who could get into contact with him, and he's currently out finding a recruit that was loyal to my master." Tomura explained.
"Meaning we have to find this mystery out ourselves." The Dark Remnant concluded, as he picked up the card that had the Hassaikai's contact information. "Tch."
Before he could destroy the card though, The League Leader spoke up. "I'll hold on to that for now. After we clean this up and tend to our injured, we'll figure out what to do."
"What do we do about Magne?" Vanitas questioned.
"...Give her a burial." Shigaraki told him. "She deserves that much."
"...Okay." The Dark Remnant summoned Void Gear and burned the decayed remains of the Hassaikai meat shield without remorse, but took Mange's lower half and magnet, and carried them through a portal he opened up in front of him.
As Toga watched Vanitas leave, her eyes were shadowed out and she had a frown on her face, before looking at her knife. "Maybe we do have time to make them bleed." She pondered.
"No." The League Leader told her.
"Come on, Tomura." Himiko requested.
"Another time." Shigaraki assured her. He walked away, leaving her to deal with the bloody puddle. As he recalled the words of wisdom given to him by All for One about beginning again and starting over as much as he needs to then compared it to Overhauls talks about having a plan, Tomura said one final thing before leaving the storage area. "Shie Hassaikai. You'll pay for what you've done today."
[Play KH BBS OST Night of The Dark Dream]
Vanitas arrived at his destination. It was a place familiar to him. The smell of ash, metal, blood, and decaying muscle tissue was like an odd breath of nostalgia to him. The toppled over trees, craters spread about and burnt black grass areas brought back recent memories.
He summoned his silhouettes and they began slashing away at a patch of grass that was still clean, breaking the dirt down and making it easy to dig up. Once a big enough hole was made, Vanitas descended into the hole and placed Magne's lower half down there. As the silhouettes began to put the dirt back into place, The Dark Remnant took the large magnet and slammed it hard into the ground in front of where the lower half was buried, using the magnet as a makeshift gravestone for her. After that, he silently stood in front of the grave as the silhouettes finished burying her lower half.
Once the deed was done, he opened up another portal and walked through it, arriving back at the warehouse. He noticed Toga was practically finished with mopping up the blood, so the two of them were ready to go, but before that, she spoke up. "Hey, Vanitas." She didn't call him Vani, which kind of surprised him. "Before we go...could I...see what you did with her?"
"..." The Dark Remnant was conflicted. He would normally just say no and let her silently suffer, which he would siphon the negative emotion from to gain power, but for some reason, his heart was telling him that it was the wrong thing to do. Again, it was so confusing to him, but he didn't have time to ponder it right now, as the group was pressed for time as it is. So for now, he'll just follow what his heart is telling him, then figure out his priorities afterwards. "Go ahead." He gestured for her to go through the portal.
There was a sad but grateful look on her face, as she stepped through the void and Vanitas soon followed. When she saw the place that Magne was buried at, she was taken aback. "This is..."
"The place where I tested you all." Vanitas confirmed. "The place where I said you would be worthy of joining the League."
"The place where...we officially became a family." Himiko added.
"...Sure, if you can even call us a family." The Dark Remnant whispered to himself.
Toga kneeled in front of the grave and clenched her hands into fists. She stayed like that for a while. It was clear she was doing her best to pay respects to her 'Big Sis'. After a while, she finally stood up and walked back through the portal, with Vanitas following behind her. Once the two arrived back at the warehouse, Toga turned around and grabbed one of Vanitas' hands, holding it for a bit. "Thank you." She told him before letting go and leaving the warehouse.
Vanitas held up the hand that she had grabbed and looked at it. He felt so conflicted. He just eased her pain, and reduced how much negativity she was emanating right now. That isn't beneficial for him. But why did it feel right? "Vanitas! We need to go!" Tomura yelled out, waiting at the car with the others.
"R-Right!" The Dark Remnant snapped out of it and warped over to the group, getting in the car with them as they drove away from the scene, planning their next move.
[Silence]
At a later date and time, when the sun was up and the day was fresh, Class 1-A was in their classroom as Aizawa decided to give them the rundown on how the Hero Work Studies program was going to be handled.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST U.A. Highschool Support Department]
"The Hero Work Studies are a more serious version of your internships." The Homeroom teacher explained. "They entail with helping Pro Heroes on the streets and with investigations. Your teachers and the Principal discussed them at the faculty meeting. And we all agree. It's too soon. They should really be canceled."
[Silence]
That news was not exactly the best news for everyone there. "What?!" Almost everyone said in unison.
"Aw! But we already met about them!" Ejiro said.
"I guess, when you think about why we had to move into the dorms, it does make sense." Denki understood while he was fidgeting with Mashirao's tail.
"HAHA!" Katsuki was fine with this.
"Just because you wouldn't get to do one." Toru muttered.
"But..." Aizawa continued. "Some people think we won't be able to raise strong Heroes with that sort of protective outlook. And with that in mind, the compromise was to be selective about participating agencies. So, choose one with a proven track record. Otherwise you won't be taking part."
That news made Bakugo angry, but pleased the rest of the class. While everyone else was talking about their work studies ideas, the explosive teen yelled out "Damn it!"
After that classes went by as normal, until the end of the day. Sora was talking with Momo about his Chain attacks and how he wanted to try something with her at a later day, when Izuku pulled him away. "Whoa. Hey, Izuku, if you need to talk to me, just ask."
"Sorry, but this is urgent. Can you come with me to talk to All Might really quick?"
"Talk to Yagi?" The Keyblade wielder repeated. "Why do you need me for that?"
"Because you did your internship with Sir Nighteye and I want to ask if All Might could introduce me to him for the Work Study. I know you're going too, so I thought that maybe you could help convince him?" Midoriya explained.
"I mean...I can go with you, but I really don't think you need my help convincing Yagi to help you." Sora told him.
"It would still help." The One For All user pleaded.
Sora sighed. "Sure. Lead the way."
"Thank you, Sora." Izuku said as the two headed towards the Teacher's lounge together. Once the pair reached the lounge and found the teacher they were looking for, Midoriya made his request.
"Wait, you want me to introduce you to Sir Nighteye for the Work Studies Program?" Toshinori repeated.
"Yes!" Izuku confirmed. "Since he's one of the few Heroes that have worked directly under you, it's a perfect fit!"
Yagi shushed the green haired boy, as they were technically in a public area with other teachers at the moment. After that he replied to the request. "So, Sir Nighteye. Who could have put that idea into your head?" He looked at Sora first, before dismissing that idea. "No, of course. You wanted to be proactive, so you called Gran Torino, didn't you? And since Sora interned with Nighteye, you figured that he could vouch for you."
"Yes, sir." Izuku confirmed.
"Well, I refuse." Yagi told him, surprising both boys. "I'm not saying that to punish you though. I have three reasons. First up, I opposed Work Studies in the faculty meeting yesterday. I think it's unnecessary for First Years to start them so early."
In the background, Thirteen and Midnight had their own thoughts to share. "I agree." Thirteen said.
"I say we just support any hungry students who want to go the extra mile."
"Reason two. You need to work on your Shoot Style, and Sora, you should focus on your new Chain attacks. Let's master those before doing extra Hero work." Toshinori added.
"They're both putting in a lot of training already." Ectoplasm pointed out in the background.
"But there's still plenty of room for improvement before they can use those techniques reliably." Cementoss stated.
"And Third, Sir Nighteye..." Yagi said. "I just don't want to have to talk to the guy."
"Personal feelings getting in the way?" Present Mic spoke up from the background. "Eeemo!"
As Mic kept chanting 'Emo Might' in the background. Toshinori just uttered "Gimme a break."
"All Might." Midoriya got the attention of his teacher. "Kacchan told me not to lose, since someone like you laid the groundwork for me. And think about it. My Quirk is so similar to yours. If I'm working for Nighteye, he'll know exactly how to help me improve it. I need to get so much stronger than I am now. I've got more work to do than anyone."
After a moment of silence, Yagi spoke up again. "Look, I appreciate your passion, but I can't introduce you."
As the One For All user seemed to feel defeated, Sora spoke up in his place. "Well, if not you, then who? If you don't want to talk to him, fine. But can't you at least get someone else to introduce and recommend him?"
"Yep. That's the plan." Toshinori confirmed, sporting a sly grin on his face.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Momo Yaoyorozu]
Soon after that, an announcement was made on the intercom. "Third Year Student Mirio Togata. All Might would like to speak with you. Please head to the counseling office at once. I repeat. Third Year Student Mirio Togata. All Might would like to speak with you. Please head to the counseling office at once."
Mirio, Tamaki and Nejire all stopped in their tracks. And the student in question spoke up. "Ha. Crazy. He wants to talk to me? Wonder what it's about?"
"Hey, Togata hey. What did you do?" Hado wondered. "Are you in trouble or something? What gives?"
"What business could All Might have with you?" Amajiki wondered.
"No clue. But..." Mirio then struck a pose. "I've To-gata to see! Get it?" He winked to the pair who gave no reaction. "Maaaaan! That was supremely unfunny. Wasn't it?"
After that show, Togata left and met up with Toshinori, Sora and Izuku in the counseling office. "Aw yeah!" The Third Year student was hyped to be there. "You Are Here! Sorry! Couldn't help myself. I just got super excited you wanted to talk to me."
"Um...I don't really understand what's going on right now." Izuku stated.
"Right? I'm completely clueless too." Mirio added.
"I think I've got an idea about what's going on." Sora said, knowing that Togata works with Sir Nighteye. "Oh, and hi, Mirio."
"Sup, Sora?" Togata replied to his First Year friend.
"You've met young Togata, right young Midoriya?" Yagi began to explain. "He's currently doing his Work Study at Nighteye's Agency."
"Whoa! Seriously?! That's so cool!" Izuku was really surprised.
"Yep. I've been working alongside him for a full year now." Mirio confirmed.
"Then you're, like, guaranteed to be his sidekick when you graduate!" Midoriya fanboyed.
"Well as long as Sir doesn't change his mind, yeah." Togata said.
"Why would he change his mind?" Sora asked. "You seem like a perfect fit for him to me."
"Well, he did take a liking to you when you interned there." Mirio playfully pointed out. "Maybe you'll take my place if I'm not careful, Hahaha!"
[Silence]
"Alright, I'm gonna get straight to the point here." Yagi stated. "Tell me, young Togata. Do you think that these First Years have what it takes to work beside you at the agency?"
"Oh, now I hear ya. That's what you called me in here to talk about, huh?" Togata understood why he was here. "You want me to take Midoriya to him for an introduction, and to bring Sora as extra insurance."
"Yeah." Toshinori confirmed.
"But, wait a minute. Why do you need to go through me?" Mirio was confused. "I always see him watching old video clips of you in his spare time. I'm sure he'd be real happy if you called him up yourself."
"I can't exactly face him right now." Yagi answered. "Because he was dead right. I ended up exactly where he warned me I'd be." That last comment caught the attention of Sora and Izuku. "So, do you think these two have what it takes?"
"Well, I know that Sora does, since he proved himself to Sir, during the internships." Togata began. "But Midoriya, ooh man. That's a toughie. Why don't you tell me what kind of Hero you want to be?"
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Anguish of the Quirkless]
"What kind?' Izuku repeated. "I want to save people with a smile and..." he stopped himself there and really thought about his motivations. He looked deep down and then as his heart showed him the truth, he listened to it and spoke his true reasons to become a Hero. "I want to be strong, so I don't worry people. I want to always win, and save everybody, staying true to my heart as I do those things. I want to become the greatest. Got it?"
After a moment of letting that settle in, and getting a brief glance at the scars on Midoriya's arms, Mirio made his choice. "Wow. That was a lot." He then gave a thumbs up. "There's no reason for me to say no though. So yeah!"
Izuku was genuinely surprised. "You mean it? Oh wow! Thank you so so much!"
"Sure. I always figured Sir would take a liking to you anyway." Togata added.
"I sure hope he does." Midoriya was really giddy about this.
"Don't get too psyched." Mirio told him. "I don't know if Sir will agree to take both you AND Sora on."
"Of course, but still, I'm very grateful." Izuku told his upperclassman.
"So, when should we head out to get Izuku introduced?" Sora asked.
"Best time would be at the start of the weekend, if that's ok." Togata informed them.
"Absolutely!" Midoriya agreed in a heartbeat.
"I don't think any time is a bad time to you." The Keyblade wielder commented. "The weekend is fine for me too. So, see you then?"
"Sure thing!" Mirio agreed to that.
And just like that, the two boys were now excited and ready to start this next part of their paths to becoming Heroes of this world, thanks to the help of an upperclassman, who was also a friend.
And there's the end of this chapter. The Shie Hassaikai ark as officially begun, and what a way for it to begin. Overhaul's interaction with the League was a bit more intense than he expected. Especially with Vanitas literally catching a bullet for Tomura and nearly frying Kronostasis in the process. Not only that, but Sora will be tagging along with Izuku in his work study, due to his prior internship with Sir Nighteye way back when, so it'll be fun writing Sora reuniting with the others at the agency, and positioning him in certain places that I think will be appropriate for the story. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and until I decide to upload again.
