The story goes up until right after the psycho sister's arc so I guess spoilers for one punch season 3 as well. the alternative path on A03 is to be uploaded later here.

23. Month 2: week 3: haunted by the past

THIS FIC IS ENDING SORRY!...

sorry for baiting like that but this fic is potentially coming to an end of sorts, an end on how I initially wanted it to go so here it is people for those that want the fic to cover the the entire MA arc, this your chance to show it.

you all have three options to choose from the "Good path", "Neutral path", and "Bad path". I'll go into more details about the paths during the ending notes to not front load everything up top and yes since I'm uploading this to two sites their is a great chance that a different path might be uploaded over their instead.

Fan mail: Class 1A

Ojiro woke up a bit frightened when he found someone touching his tail but despite having just woken up from his slumber he still felt extremely tired and didn't feel like moving or even reacting to it like he normally would have, the touch actually felt comforting in a way slowly going up and down caressing his tail almost like a massage which he gladly leaned into.

"You know while I'm happy that you still trust me enough to touch your tail, we need to get a move on before someone comes in to check in on me or you for that matter since you're not in your room." Toru remarked, making Ojiro's eyes completely shoot open and looking at the girl, she still had the makeup on from the other day but it was slightly wearing off by this point which made her face look kind of weird looking and uneven, which he chuckled at.

"And what is so funny?" toru asked

"You are…the make up I mean it's coming off a bit." ojiro said, rubbing a hand across her face.

"Well I would have moved by now but someone has me trapped in bed here." Toru said, running a hand along his tail which was wrapped around her waist, ojiro flushed.

"Yeah, sorry about that." ojiro said before starting to unfurl himself from the girl.

"How much do you even feel with it…if you don't mind me asking?" toru asked

"Not very much really, it's like a really large muscle, it being sensitive would kind of be counter intuitive to how I use it, although your touch right now did feel…..nice." ojiro said bashfully, looking away.

"I see so you're not sensitive anywhere around here?" Toru asked with a teasing tone before rubbing a hand along the tail again but this time taking it a little further and heading down towards the base which had the reaction she expected as Ojiro quickly stopped her hand as he fidgeted from the touch.

"Some things are…. more sensitive than others." ojiro said as he felt the girl twist around and touch the base of his tail with her other hand forcing him to grab both of her hands and turn over making her straddle him but hiding her target away from her. As he let go of both of her hands she placed them on his chest.

"Ah no fair." she pretended to pout but Ojiro wasn't falling for it this time.

"Didn't you say something about leaving, wouldn't want people to catch us like this…..especially how we are now." ojiro said, blushing in embarrassment once he realized what position he just put them in. Toru immediately realized and let out a small yipp as she got up and off him but given the not large bed space she nearly fell on the floor if it weren't for Ojiro tail grabbing her and pulling her back down onto him.

they both shared an awkward chuckle before she rolled off him this time and planted herself next to him on the bed sitting down with her back towards him. she stretched as she got up and was currently brainstorming for a way for ojiro to get out of here secretly while she didn't want to keep their relationship a secret this late night excursion would be best to leave in the past and both of them wouldn't want to get an earful from Iida which neither wanted to deal with in the morning. But as she was brainstorming a sudden knock on her door froze all further thought from occurring as she turned back to look at ojiro both of them stared at each other wide eyed and the knock continued toru slowly walked up to the door and pressed her ear to it and she was just about able to make of the sound of mina on the other side which made the girl nervous, she instructed for ojiro to stand by the wall and not move a muscle and ojiro obliged groggily getting up to his feet and standing by the place indicated in the corner of the room. She quickly placed a wall of invisibility in front of him before opening the door and as she expected mina simply barged in.

"What's with the makeup and everything?" Mina asked suspiciously she hadn't warned the stuff in some time now so her just suddenly having it was seen as mysterious.

"Ugh….nothing really just wanted to see how I look is all." Toru remarked but it was a fairly bad lie the mina sniffed out.

"But it looks like it's been worn out for some time now and didn't you tell us you could see yourself just fine? Wait! don't tell me… did you and ojiro have something planned the other day? You were the only one that didn't stay to see him come back from the hospital. What? Did you want to surprise him by being able to see you again?" Mina asked excitedly, toru noticeably flushed at the remark as she wasn't that far off from the truth although the reason was definitely not as romantic as she pictured it to be but she could roll with the girls suggestion on this one.

"It was something like that, I wanted to surprise him. Like a get well soon present you could say but I was so tired by the time I went to bed that I forgot to take all this stuff off. So what brings you here?" Toru asked, trying to get the conversation back on topic. She couldn't hold that field forever and the longer she tried the worse the field tended to get. Mina's quirky smile soon changed with a lamented sigh.

"That's actually what I wanted to talk with you about, you and ojiro's relationship compared to mine and kirishima's." Mina said glumly, taking a seat on the girl's bed, toru immediately went over to comfort her with a hand on the pink girl's shoulder.

"Is this still about kirishima and mizuki?" Toru asked.

"Sort of, I'm just trying to figure myself out really …I finally admit that I do feel something for kirishima but I don't know what yet. Yeah I feel slightly "threatened" by that mizuki girl but I'm still trying to figure out why? So I wanted to talk to you mostly about your relationship with ojiro. You guys are close but still haven't really sealed the deal yet and I was wondering why? And what do you feel when he's around you?" mina asked seriously and toru took a moment to just unpack all of that information and she slightly winced at the claim of them not being together given what happened yesterday and who's standing in the corner right now but thinking about a good response as well as holding the field would just drain her faster so she just answered the easier questions first.

"What does ojiro make me feel like huh? Well I guess the first thing that comes to mind is that he makes me feel safe , he motivates me to do better and try harder, and he brings out qualities in myself that I didn't even know I had and as for why we aren't together? Well we simply liked where things were at the moment you don't have to jump into something immediately, it's best to have things occur naturally.`` Toru said her voice strained a little at the end as she struggled to continue to hold up the field.

"Natural huh? Hey, can I tell you something? `` Mina said her voice was a bit distant as she looked around the room, her eyes locking in on something interesting on the floor, completely derailing her thoughts.

"What's that?" Mina remarked, suddenly pointing to the bandages on the floor. Toru noticeably shivered as she looked at it before turning back to the pink girl who began to look at her with suspicious eyes.

"Those are…are mine, I took a hit the other day while out monster hunting." Toru tried to say but Mina was unconvinced as she examined the girl for a moment longer before seeing something on her "skin" and plucking it off and showing the long strand of blonde hair to the girl.

"And I'm guessing this is "yours" as well." Mina said with a smug grin, toru merely sighed as she dropped the field.

"I guess the gig is up." Toru remarked as she gestured for Mina to turn around and as she did so Toru muffled the scream the girl did with her hand covering over her mouth. Toru merely chuckled at how Ojiro was standing in the corner. He had his tail wrapped around his head completely blinding him along with pressing his hands around where his ears would be, to not hear very well.

"It also helps that he's fairly considerate." Toru said with a chuckle as she tried to call for him to open his eyes but after a moment of that failing just decided to throw a pillow his way to finally get the tail to move out of the way so that he could see and noticing both girls looking at him he panicked.

"I wasn't listening in I swear!" ojiro in a silent yell as he bowed his head fully unwrapping his tail from his head as he did so and toru already knowing her friend covered up mina's mouth again as another explosive scream emerged from the girl as she rapidly pointed to the boy's tail.

"Yeah a lot of things happened the other day as you can see." Toru remarked and after waiting a moment for Mina to calm down, Toru finally released her pink friend.

"Soooo, you guys are together?" mina questioned

"Yeah." ojiro bashfully said

"He confessed to me the other day." Toru said all cheery as she got up to hug him.

"And the new tail? How did that happen?" mina questioned but before he could reply toru simply covered his mouth with her hand.

"We'll tell everybody all about that when we get down stairs, and I do mean all about what happened yesterday." Toru remarked looking at ojiro, he slowly pulled her hand down from his mouth.

"You don't have to." he offered

"I want to." Toru replied simply, her tone completely serious and Ojiro nodded his head in understanding.

"Alright with that out of the way. Mina help me sneak this guy out of my room by keeping watch outside and then we can continue our conversation in actual private" the invisible girl said with a laugh and mina obliged going outside before peeking back in a gesturing for the boy to come out and after a moment as he creased the door way however bakugo was just leaving his room to go downstairs and toru simply reacted quickly darkening out his eyes causing the aggressive blonde to trip up and fall causing him to utter a number of expletives at the invisible girl in question while the other two quickly began to run around the downed teen mina simply said that they will talk later and good luck with bakugo as she to made her exit down the stairs away from the angry blonde as toru closed her door with any luck bakugo would have heard the footsteps shuffling past him and assumed that she went downstairs so she could get herself ready for the day.

The group all sat around eating breakfast for the most part, bakugo seemed especially trigger happy and mina could only barely hold in her laughter in fear of drawing the explosive teens rage, three members of the class haven't came down yet and it was ojiro, toru, and sero, but that soon changed as the two of them entered down the stairway, the class was fairly flabbergasted mostly by the fact that ojiro seemingly just sprouted a new tail back so suddenly more than the two of them merely holding each others hands.

"Woah, so are you like a lizard or something to be able to grow your tail back so fast." Kaminari asked, looking at the new arrivals.

"But also as importantly they are holding hands!" Mina said and pointed excitedly, the two made their way to the couch and to even more incentives, Mina's point toru unexpectedly sat on ojiro lap instead of next to him, making the class look at the two even more.

"Well I guess that means that you two are together now. Ribbit." asui remarked

"But I'm more curious about your quirk…how did your tail grow back so fast? Is it some hidden ability?" midoriya questioned somehow materializing a notebook and pen out of nowhere causing uraraka to laugh while next to him.

"Well it didn't really grow back more like I replaced it with a new one from my awakening." ojiro announced, gaining everyone's attention.

"So your awakening allows you to grow more tails?" momo asked simply not surprised in the least of the fact that he had awakened

"Wait momo you already knew?" Jiro asked

"I only knew that he had achieved an awakening not what it actually entailed, speaking of which bakugo you would likely be happy to know that your awakening is incomplete so you still have room to grow in that regard." momo stated and despite himself bakugo did smile a bit but didn't give much of reaction other than that.

"Yeah well my awakening gives me two tails." ojiro remarked simply and he waited for the laughing and chuckles to stop before he continued.

"Yeah, yeah …ha ha, but it's kinda like a transformation in a way and to depower myself I simply retract one of my tails back into myself." ojiro replied simply as he showed off his tail around toru to their audience.

"Woah, that seems cool…. and convenient." mineta and then aoyama remarked

"But if you could have just done that previously why didn't you do it sooner?" shoji asked

"I….I really wasn't worried about myself at the moment." ojiro remarked with a bashful smile, he felt a hand slowly circle around his back. The girl was clearly frightened if her shaky form was any indication to go by, especially her not saying a single word since they got down here which was the greatest give away. The class awwed at his comment.

"What monster did you guys fight to cause that in the first place? It went straight through that tech mesh the association gave you and that stuff is pretty sturdy right?" Kirishima asked Shoji and ojiro both nodded.

"It…..it wasn't a monster…that cut off my tail however." ojiro said intriguing the class even more.

"Wait but didn't you say that you lost it in a monster attack the other day?" Iida asked

"Yes and I did but I never said the monsters were the ones that did it." ojiro clarified.

"Then who did? " Mina asked, Toru shaking got even worse and he made an attempt to comfort her.

"Was it one of the other heroes?" Iida questioned.

"In a way." ojiro said vaguely he felt toru shaking stop as she took a deep breath and finally spoke in a hushed tone.

"It ….was me." Toru said but it was so quiet that only Jiro was able to pick up on it and her reaction was instant.

"What did you say toru?!" Jiro questioned.

"I said that IT WAS ME!...I …I cut off his tail." Toru remarked before hugging the boy even more tightly and murmuring even more apologies into his ear, ojiro trying to console her saying that it was alright as the class sat in silent contemplation on the information looking at toru with sympathy.

"It was the whirlwind iron cutting fist?" tokoyami mentioned getting a nod from ojiro.

"I knew something like this would happen…I just knew it…it's why I was so hesitant to learn the stupid thing…I will never us-" toru was suddenly cut off as ojiro pushed her off himself just enough to look at her directly in the eyes despite her head being invisible still he was able to somehow track where they were.

"No. That's the wrong lesson to take from this. Remember you told me yourself that the whirlwind is at its best when used to protect others right?(she nods) and that's what you did, you protected me and that's all that matters, it was your first time using it in a real fight and it got out of control due to the circumstances and that can happen to the best of us. So don't blame the technique, it did what it set out to do and because of that I'm still around right now." ojiro said, kissing the girl on the forehead.

"I was, well am in a similar proposition with dark shadow at night. I still have a hard time controlling him and he may attack my allies as well, even doing something similar to shoji during our summer camp training." tokoyami remarked

"And he's gotten better at it, the other day dark shadow still went wild but he didn't hurt me." asui said in additional support, Tokoyami merely agreed but dark shadow himself was odily a no show the class realized as there was a pause to see the shadow creatures telling if events.

" can I say something" it asked tokoyami internally

"No" tokoyami replied simply

"What I would like you to do is to get better at it, refine it and accel…I don't want you to use this as an excuse to quit. That would hurt me even more than losing my tail." ojiro told the girl in sincerity, toru looked at him for a moment wide eyed before pressing her head against his and giving the boy a light peck on the lips.

"I'll….I'll try …for you." She said murmuring the last part so that only he could hear it and he smiled at that and allowed her to continue to hug and nuzzle into him like she was before.

"Oh and I think Toru awakened from that incident as well, I was able to actually see her for a moment although I don't know if that was just me being in shock or not. But I'm fairly sure I saw her before she ran away and after a certain distance I couldn't see her anymore." ojiro remarked. And the class were all still taking this in when suddenly kaminari and mineta both arrived at the same conclusion in unison.

"Wait, doesn't that mean that ojiro saw toru naked?" both teens said at once.

"Well..ummm…ugh" ojiro was about to say bashfully looking away as a blush went across his face which was immediately countered by a look of pain as he was suddenly struck in the gut by a knee from toru as she quickly separated herself from him and added some additional feet of distance, she remembered him telling her something like that the other day but she was so swept up in everything else to actually let those words sink in.

"Mar-marshiro you…you pervert!" Toru exclaimed as she quickly left for the kitchen, mina was hot on her tails and momo followed suit mostly to pry mina from preying on the girl too much also to get a blood sample from the girl just to clarify if she really awakened or not and more data for driveknight and his research into quirk awakenings. Ojiro on the other hand was currently being lectured by Iida about the incident and the final missing member of the class finally made his appearance in particularly spectacular fashion given he was dressed extremely formally. Kaminari let out a whistle.

"Wow man didn't think you and Jackie were moving that fast." Kaminari quipped, gaining a few chuckles from others but only a very half-hearted grin from Sero himself which reigned in everyone again to look at the usually chipper person with concern.

"Is this about what happened the other day?" Koda asked and Sero nodded.

"I'm going to a funeral with the samurai actually." Sero remarked casually, making everyone gasp in shock.

"Did one of the disciples or masters die?" Midoriya questioned but Sero just shook his head.

"Nah, nothing like that… three naval destroyers were destroyed and lost with all hands a couple of weeks ago." Sero said glumly, looking down.

"Nine hundred deaths! on your hands!" the ghostly sero remarked through his body before one of his hands stuck himself in the back of his head.

"I know that…" Sero said simply, still looking down towards his feet. Everyone that went away towards the kitchen came back when they heard ghost sero voice to see what was going on.

"What does he mean sero?" Midoriya said as he approached the tape teen.

"The destroyers gave their lives to protect one of the aircraft carriers, Gotz Okkie. It was the ship we used to travel to the sea folk island.`` Sero said downcasted and the class instantly began to realize what was happening.

"If it's any sort of comfort to the families I believe the monster was taken care of by atomic samurai." Tsu said to at least ease his burden but Sero simply shook his head.

"Nah they assumed it was the salamander at first but after more reports came in they identified that the creature that did it was more shark like in nature and….and the kid that I spared from death was…was a shark type." Sero said in sorrow, balling his hands into fist.

"Sero…you can't blame yoursel-"

"And why can't he? It was his action that directly led to their deaths!" the ghost said through his body again.

"No one is talking to you." bakugo replied to the ghost, his voice full of hostility.

"It's telling the truth it is my fault and as I said before I have to deal with the consequences of that." Sero remarked before turning away and leaving out the door before the door shut completely; however a box full of letters came in from outside and sat itself in the middle of the living room floor. The tape that was holding it slowly levitated back towards the door and closed it while slipping under and taking their leave. The class didn't care to look at the letters given what just happened, taking a moment to just think about this world and if what they were doing was technically the "right" thing when dealing with monsters. Everyone did take a moment to reset themselves completely with 20 minutes of silence or light talks before they finally went to open up the first of the letters.

Facing the music: council of swordsman, disciples, sero

Sero walked out of their home feeling awful ever since Iaian came to him on the beach and told him about the funeral being held everything started to feel so shallow to him and it didn't help that the ghost was constantly bugging him about it the entire time.

Flash back

"Well, well, well ….Iaian I didn't expect you to be here, where are the rest of the guys?" Sero asked as he looked over Jackie's shoulder as the one armed swordsman approached them.

"This is Jackie, she's a disciple of bomb." Sero said, turning the girl around to face the man as he put his arm around her shoulder Jackie held out a hand for him to shake and the disciple did.

"Greetings, I will need to borrow sero for a moment of time please it won't take long." Iaian regarded simply as he sent a look to sero that made him gulp, did he do something wrong? He couldn't remember him doing anything well other than doing a harmless prank on them during the event but he doubted he came all this way to get payback on him, would he? Sero began to think.

"Sure, I'll just go play with Koda and the tigers until you get back alright? Don't go too far." Jackie said with a wink before she started her way over to the shore side.

"Alright what's the problem, is it another mission we have to go on?" sero questioned

"No. Follow me." Iaian said simply as he began to walk away and Sero followed along his nerves already starting to shift into gear about what the disciple was going to talk to him about. They moved further away from everyone just out of earshot which made him even more nervous and that jumped as his hand went to the hilt of his sword.

"Calm yourself. Your inner you is leaking out." Iaian remarked simply as he could feel the bloodlust starting to leak out of sero, sero almost chuckled at the comment the disciples didn't think ghost and such really existed so they just assumed that it was his "true/inner self" for some reason. But he did what the disciple said and breathed a calm breath as he looked more closely as the disciple was actually reaching for an envelope that was on the hilt of his blade. Once he took it out he thrust the piece of parchment in his chest and told him to read it. Sero obliged, it was a letter by the…the captain of Gotz Okkie, the ship they had been on…oh no..sero thought immediately.

Letter to council of swordsman

I'm reaching out to you all to ask for your attendance in support of the brave sailors that sacrificed their lives for my crew and my ship, it seems to appear that we may have missed one of those seafolk during our excursion to their base of operations. One of their kind, some type of shark thing cut clean through one of the destroyers to head right for us, two others came to intercept the ensuing battle resulting in both ships being destroyed. But being able to force the creature into retreat, the creature ensured that no one could be recovered, creating a vortex of water that drowned everyone while simultaneously managing to escape somewhere onto the continent.

This is not a demand or I wouldn't have went through the trouble of writing this letter instead of just going through the associations to pre plan for at least some of you to show up, this is but a humble request from one protector of humanity to another I assume that our voyage together and indirect involvement in the incident has made us brothers in arms and that you all will come to the meeting place by this time tomorrow.

As sero got to the end of the letter which read the location which was to be in J-city harbor along with the time iaian finally spoke as he looked up at the disciple.

"I told you that your actions will have consequences and now it's time for you to bear them." Iaian said.

"W-what….what were the casualties?" Sero said his mouth was as dry as the sand he was standing on.

"At least 900 hundred dead, maybe more. '' Iaian said coldly and sero felt like he was kicked in the chest, he took several breaths to calm himself down to attempt to prevent the other guy from popping up but it was a tenuous hold he had at best.

"Murderer …hahaha…oh how does it feel to doom 900 hundreds souls to damnation even though you were warned previously of the danger, hmph even if from another world humans love to stay ignorant in the face of people more knowledgeable than them.'' The ghost mocked him internally but Sero offered no reply and tried to block it out.

" I see,"Sero said simply.

"Prepare for tomorrow we leave from the dojo to the harbor, this shouldn't have to be said but formal attire is mandatory." Iaian remarked as he took the paper again and stowed it away and without another word utter and only a nod he left just as quickly as he came. Sero didn't really know what to think and if he was telling the truth he couldn't really think not with the ghost so heavily in his head lambasting him so he simply moved further down the beach and sat there alone that was until Jackie came back and hugged him from behind, something soft pressed against the back of his head and normally he would have reacted some exaggerated or suave way but he simply let it be and reached one hand up to caress the top of her head.

"Hey, remember when I said that I had a demon of sorts inside of me so it'd be best if you saw me with red eyes to steer clear?" Sero asked the girl.

"Yeah why?" Jackie asked in somewhat worry as she detached herself from him.

"I don't think it's the best time to hang around right now" Sero said, turning his face towards her showing her that one of his eyes was fully red.

Flash back end

(what the disciples are wearing is the cover of OPM mana 103 )

Sero arrived towards the council of swordsman's headquarters everyone was there by the time he arrived even spring mustachio and while mustachio usually did hero work in formal clothing what set him apart from his hero costume was that it was the inverse of the colors he was mostly all white with a black tie, Iaian had a typical dress suit with a black tie along wit a large white over coat, Okamaitachi wore a more feminine suit with frilly cuffs at the ends, bushidrill had a suit on as well although you wouldn't really know it very well since he wore a large pancho over top of it along with a large scarf which looked fairly weird in comparison to the rest of them. The masters were no different, all of them in very formal suits. With the greetings out of the way, the group of them all made their way down towards the bay…as expected the event was a very large showcase. There were four cruisers just sitting in the bay all with a number of sailors walking or posing nearby as down below sat the stage and podium and below that sat the chairs which would seat the patrons of the event.

The rest of the patrons slowly started to come in and the service officially began, nothing was out of the ordinary for it. the service was mostly praising the dead for their service and their sacrifice followed by some words from their loved ones that described them, the next things that happened were parting words from those of the Gotz Okkie ship captain and then suddenly the speaker asked if any of the heroes present wanted to present any words for the deceased and the range of guilt and regret sero felt as the service went on along with the tension and surge of emotion he had when the question was asked allowed for the ghost to inhabit his body completely he could only watch in pure horror as his body and voice spoke for him, the swordsman were surely surprised along with the crowd he guessed asking the heroes was more of just a formality thing and not something someone would take seriously. But that didn't stop the ghost from taking the stage anyways. He first had some comfort in the fact that he wouldn't have to actually speak it out loud but saren was a cruel being the only thing it did was get him up there once he was actually grabbing the microphone to make words he completely relinquished control of his body just leaving sero up their by himself in front of what could have been at least dozens of people.

Sero for moment considered the possibility of just step back down and forgetting about it but he guessed it would help him better to just get it off his chest if they hated him they would have every right to do so and he doubted that the ghost would just let him leave the situation in fact he made the institute observation that if he did leave without saying anything he would kill that girl he was hanging with the other day as soon as he got the chance, he was toying with him forcing him to make the choices but was it just the ghost being sadistic or was he trying to help he wondered as he finally began to speak.

The first thing sero did in his speech was tell everyone present how sorry he was for their lost and then went on to actually apologize for it he didn't really know where to go with the speech since it was so sudden but he wanted to make sure that he didn't waste to much time with ramblings so he kept it short and sweet, he told them how he blamed himself for their lost and how he caused it by saving one of the seafolk, he understood if they all hated him as he cost them the lives of their loved ones and comrades and if he could go back and do things differently he would but he wouldn't kill a child or let the child be killed he wouldn't let the sins of someone else be put onto someone that was completely innocent let alone a child who couldn't have known better.

Once Sero was done with his speech the crowd was completely silent, no one clapped, cheered, or booed him which he guessed he could take as a somewhat good sign, he expected to be rushed at and beaten up or something of that nature but no one in the audience made a move or sound. The person that did move was a large man he was nearly 7'ft tall he was decorated with numerous medals and if sero paid enough attention to the ceremony he would say that this man was the admiral of the fleet. As the large man approached Sero, he suddenly punched him in the face. The blow sent Sero to the floor but the large man did not continue his attack. merely only going towards the podium instead to speak on what sero just said, he respected his courage to come up and say what he did to cause the tragedy but he also lambasted sero for the thinking of the event so selfishly, he started talk to him and the audience at the same time remarking that the soldiers that lost their lives in the attack did so in the full conscious of their own actions and that everyone in the navy is willing to lay down their live for a fellow comrade regardless of the circumstance that caused it and that he shouldn't disrespect their sacrifice by believing he forced them to do so. Sero apologized and soon after made his way back to his seat, the ghost must have not expected such a reaction either as it was completely silent for the remainder of the ceremony.

The ceremony ended mostly with two of the ships cannons firing off into the distance firing off a total of three times to represent the three destroyers lost, afterwards the ceremony came to a close which led into the after party with food and drinks and while sero still felt guilty for everything that happened the others around him encourage that he shouldn't even a couple of family members from those that were lost talked to him assuring him that this was only a matter of time and that when you enlist in the army/navy they have to prepare themselves for situation such as this to occur but even with that it just didn't sit right with him it felt like he was getting let off to easy.

Sero began to remember what sitch said about this world in comparison to theirs and how they feel less than his world did so he guessed that was why he was relatively unscaved from unveiling the truth although his cheek was still swollen the entire time from the punch the admiral threw and Okamaitachi said that he deserved it. Iaian didn't say much of anything for his outburst but he simply gave him a nod and continued on, the masters didn't really seem to care much at all, atomic samurai simply said to tell him next time he's going to do something so stupid. Sero nodded his head as he checked his phone he had put it on silent and turned it off just in case but as he turned it on and checked his notifications his eyes bulged at what he was seeing.

Catch and Release : saitama, bakugo , todoroki

Bakugo and Todoroki were both accompanying the bald hero on his patrol today, he was rented over to K-city in the advent of the hero hunters actions as all three of their B-class heroes were hospitalized along with the recent rumors of a monster lurking around peaked saitama's interest enough to go and investigate and see what was going on. The three of them took the train to get to the area and the first things the organizer in the shelter actually had them do when they arrived was to actually escort some school kids on a field trip through their nature park, bakugo obviously was not amused neither was saitama in the initial assignment, bakugo demanding more details on why they would have do such things as heroes and the shelter organizer simply said that the rumored monster that has been terrorizing the city as of recently other than the unknown assailant targeting heroes had been speculated to be seen entering and leaving the lake inside the park, they didn't have an idea on what the creature looked like but going off of that assumption we can only assume that it most be amphibian in some nature or some type of fish monster.

Upon hearing the news bakugo immediately stop trying to get out of the assignment and simply nodded his head in understanding, todoroki came to a similar conclusion that he did and while dragging saitama off they were off to the park where they needed to go. The kids that they were taking care of were simple middle schoolers. Thanks to the interview some of them already knew of bakugo and todoroki and because of that a lot of them were more interested in them over whatever their tour guide was talking about on their adventures through the forest. Bakugo was was a bit mithed how even more of the brats clamored to todoroki and his S-class status although he took some salice in the fact that the bald guy that was along with them was almost completely ignored and the only time that he got any attention from the kids were when they were making fun of his hero costume. Bakugo and todoroki after a certain amount of pestering relented and showed off their powers todoroki creating a small burst of flames from his fingertips and creating multiple ice shards that began to rain down towards the ground, bakugo for his demonstrations simply created some miniature explosions that sparked in his hands like a sparkler.

The field trip eventually went down towards the large lake and that's when both todoroki and bakugo took the protection of the class a little more seriously the two of them advised that the kids shouldn't get too close to the water putting themselves between them and the body of water while simultaneously trying to keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary going on, bakugo briefly spotted a large shadow that neared the surface and thought it was something but after the creature partly surfaced and flopped back down into the water it proved to be a false alarm well sort of, the fish was really large honestly it's head was basically as large as his torso so he could imagine what the rest of its body could look like. The tour guide explained to them that the fish they just saw was the king of the lake a massive fish that many fisherman would try and catch, some legends say that if it makes its appearance know to you than it is a sign of good luck which many of the kids took to heart but bakugo was unconvinced really and saitama simply wasn't listening at all in fact the bald hero had gotten left behind somewhere else as he was suddenly attacked by a flock of crows due to the sun reflecting off his head causing bakugo to laugh at the heroes misfortune.

After they were finished escorting the kids around the park their second job was to actually clean the park which bakugo again gagged at another menial labor task but he complied nonetheless with the combination of their quirks they didn't have to worry about traveling back and forth from the park to the trash bin opting more into blowing up or simply burning up the trash once they collected a sufficient amount of it and to the parks and people credit their wasn't as much trash and litter that bakugo expected there to be but the task was artificially extended again as someone wasn't pulling his weight the bald man had gotten lost again and the duo went go find where the clueless individual had run off to.

Saitama had walked around down some stairs coming upon an opening with a man fishing down near the lake.

"Say old man, I heard that there is a monster on the run in this forest. Have you seen anything fishy?" saitama said

"No I haven't judging by your question and your outfit I guess you're a professional hero? Going on patrol is nice and all but can you please be quiet. You'll scare the fish away."

"Okay." saitama remarked simply

"... was there anything else?" the fisherman asked seeing as the hero didn't leave

"No. just watching, catch anything yet?" saitama asked simply

" And here I thought you were looking after a monster. Of course I've caught stuff, why? You fish yourself?"

"Never tried it myself, looks boring. What's so fun about it?" saitama asked

"It's a great game to play for board people like me and you, it's all about the joy when you catch something big."

"A big one….yeah I can see, that way you can sell it for more money." Saitama said in thought.

"Nah I don't do this for money or food, I see it as a serious competition between me and nature. The king of the lake has lived here for decades that it's become myth you can only catch glimpses of it at best but never it's full beauty everyone wishes to catch it" the fisherman stated

"So you really wonder what it tastes like!" Saitama said suddenly but the fisherman ignored him as he was clearly not listening to a word he said and due to something grabbing onto his bait. He continued to reel in his prize only to reveal that it was only a small little fish, he unhooked the creature before tossing it back into the lake.

"Why did you toss it back?" saitama asked

"It's called catch and release, it is my principle to release every fish I catch even if it is the king of the lake." the fisherman said simply

" You don't eat or sell them?" saitama asked confused

"Where would the fun in that be? I don't want the number of fish to diminish and when they grow up we might even have a good match one day." the fisherman said

"I see." Saitama said simply but before the conversation could continue the fisher had caught something else on his line and whatever it was it was big as he struggled to reel the fish in before suddenly the fish seemingly gave up and miraculously became lighter? As he pulled and the head of the fish breached the surface the fisherman was stunned to see that he actually caught the king of the lake but as he pulled the rest of the body out of the water his shock and excitement turned into horror as the body or lack thereof was all that came out of the water something had eaten the king of the lake.

Just after the fishermen recovered from the shock of the head of the king of the lake landing on the shore another even larger fish came up from the lake. The creature was so large that even as it stood up in the lake only the upper portion of the beast chest was visible. The monster was just talking about recovering enough of its strength before it was suddenly frozen stiff along with a lot of the lake itself. The fishermen balked at that even more thinking about the fish and the potential damage this could have to the ecosystem.

"This was where you were just slacking off, at least you found the monster." bakugo barked gruffly as he arrived with multiple explosions landing down in front of the hero and fishermen, even at a cursory glance he could see that Todoroki's ice wasn't going to hold the creature.

"Get this guy out of here, the fight isn't over yet." bakugo demanded

"Are you sure? I could just punch it really." saitama offered casually

"No, we'll handle this one. Don't interfere like you've been doing most of the day." bakugo remarked simply

" Alright, suit yourself." Saitama said with a shrug of his shoulder as he scooped up the head of the king of the lake and handed it to the fisherman as they went off.

"Do you think that was the wisest course of action?" todoroki questioned

"If he stayed he would have surely killed it and it would have made his suffering pointless. Bakugo said vaguely but Todoroki knew who he was talking about. He got a similar feeling from looking at the creature and going off the description Sero gave but he was still surprised that bakugo cared so much. The shark quickly broke out of todoroki ice and stared with anger at the two of them.

"Listen humans , I am the Sole survivor of the sharkui! I lord great white will have my revenge and enslave all of you. I AM THE NEW SEA KING!" the shark monster declared and that just confirmed their target for the two boys.

The battle commenced immediately as bakugo rocketed towards the creature spamming at the large fish with AP-shots as he avoided a swipe of the creatures claws, todoroki tried to use his ice to freeze him in his place again but the shark monster quickly swiped his claw downwards causing an eruption of water that stopped his ice cold sending a shockwave of broken shards back in his direction, switching up his tactics todoroki unleashed a veil of flames but the monster quickly sank back down into the water avoiding the flames as it petered out over the lake. bakugo wasn't going to let the monster get away as he followed the giant shadow the creature made as he began to submerge deeper into the lake dropping a literal ton of his Nitroglycerin bomb in an attack he named claymore into the lake and than blowing them it up with a massive AP-Auto cannon shot,that caused a massive explosion of water to rise up out of the water and reveal the huge monster , bakugo dodged just in the nick of time as a water jet flew directly in his direction avoiding the head shot but scoring a blow across his cheek causing blood to spill down his face but he couldn't really worry about that as the shark monster jumped up with surprising speed and smacked him out of the air sending him tumbling into the ground todoroki responded immediately shooting out a steady stream of flames from his left side the monster countered with a geyser of water emerging from his mouth the two blows collided before creating steam and mist to fill the air obscuring the entire area, todoroki uses his flames to create a small light where he could see but he immediately realized his mistake as multiple crunching sounds of earth was heard from behind him and he was able to summon an ice shield just enough to block the creature tail swipe that completely shattered his defense and knocked him into the woods, he used his ice to slow himself and shield himself from the blow back from hitting the trees he passed. Bakugo landed down next to him.

"Use that flame form of yours, it's weak to fire." bakugo said simply.

"How do you figure?" todoroki asked

" it was smaller after my blast hit it, the shadow it casted in the lake was larger than when it was revealed." bakugo remarked simply and todoroki nodded his head putting both his hands together and focusing, bakugo went right back at the beast avoiding another water geyser it shot out t's mouth before countering with one of his explosive cannon shots the monster like he thought he saw noticeable gotten smaller but he still continued towards him regardless launching off its back backfoot at bakugo and the explosive blonde could only block with his gauntlets before the claws that would have pierced him stopping harmlessly but the mass of the attack was still their and forced him backwards, the monster changed his piercing attack into a grab and slammed bakugo into the ground multiple times, bakugo got out of the bashing by using his time bomb move to douse the creature in nitrogcleryn with some even getting into it's eyes and reactively letting him go and just in time as todoroki's flame claws came right out of the woods at the creature causing the nitroglycerin to explode clearing the smoke that originally surrounded the area revealing the shrinking sharks form.

The shark wasn't defeated yet however as it attempted to retreat back into the water of the lake but the duo wasn't going to let it go that easily as both teens charged at the beast but it was a trap as the large fin on the back of the beast spawned a large water blade that struck out at them bakugo reacted first pushing todoroki out of the way allowing the shark to score a shredding hit on his shoulder. But that didn't stop bakugo from returning the favor shooting off another large AP cannon shot with his other arm striking the beast in the back and tipping it back into the lake and bakugo order todoroki to go after it and despite his worries for his friend he obliged shrouding himself in flames and dunking himself into the water. Todoroki caught up to the creature and attached himself to it's tail and began to raise the temperature of his flames burning the water around them and shrinking the monster even more allowing him to reach a hand out and sear part of it's gills causing him to start thrashing around in the water heavily bashing todoroki on the ground and into several rocks before he finally let go. Todoroki began to fall down slowly towards the bottom of the lake to bait the shark into attacking him and it worked just then the shark was swimming directly toward him his mouth open wide to bite down on him but todoroki countered and use his jet kindling technique his punch going directly in the shark creatures mouth and unleashing a torrent of flames that burned it's insides his arm was grazed by the creatures teeth causing multiple cuts to run down that arm but he pushed though following up the attack which left the monster stunned with his flash fist heat wave sending the monster rocketing high into the air and out of the water where bakugo was waiting for him having enough of a distance to perform his howitzer impact technique completely knocking the monster down to other side of the lake unconscious and its body significantly smaller than it was previously.

---

Saitama and the old man walked through the forest and could hear the battle commence behind them.

"Are you sure they're gonna be alright? That monster seemed tough. Even for an S-class I don't know if they could take care of it." the fisherman said

"They'll be fine." Saitama mentioned casually. mostly thinking about the catch and release method and if he could attempt to do something like that for the monsters or villains he fights as catching a big one like the king of the lake seems impossi-

"I found you! Saitama! Today is the day I pay you back if my name isn't speed o' sound sonic!"

"These are the only fish I get, old man, stand back." Saitama said as he pushed the old man back and stepped into the clearing in front of sonic."

"I have no idea what you're mumbling about, are you mocking me? Have a taste of my new secret weapon!" Sonic announced as he threw his new smoke screen shuriken the two shuriken he threw by passed saitama completely revolving around the hero as they spew their contents of smoke to block his vision but saitama just thought the technique looks cool with all the smoke around. Sonic came from above believing that the hero was completely unaware of him and for his credit saitama was but sonic did not think of the reaction saitama would have had to the smoke as he came down with his windblade kick the sudden lack of vision cause saitama to jerk his body in an unexpected way causing his blow to hit sonic directly in the groin with his elbow. Causing the ninja to let out an internal scream of anguish as he hobbled backwards away from his bald rival.

"I'll…I'll let you off with….with a warning for today ..but …but next time ..next time will be your doom. I will reduce you to nothing but a lump of meat using my superior technique. Sonic said with shaky legs.

"Do your best!" Saitama said seriously as he thought about how long sonic could possibly keep this up for and sonic slowly limped away, his legs wobbling as his arms tried to ease the pain on his manhood.

"Hey old man, was that what you would call catch and release?" Saitama asked. The old fisherman didn't really see anything that went on due to the smoke and speed of the actual battle but nodded his head nonetheless.

"Something like that I suppose," he said simply.

Working harder not smarter: watchdog man, asui.

Asui was back in her new training hero costume hopping around q-city she has been getting slightly more used to the costume at this point and trying her best to make ways to deal with the restrictions it offered especially during combat. She had been getting better implementing different types of attacks into her skillset. The first things she mostly worked on being the most simple of the bunch was her tongue other than becoming more flexible in its use and becoming better with using it not only just being able to wrap around individuals and restrain them but also now she was able to shoot it out at extreme speeds an attack she dubbed tongue poke the move effectiveness vary depending on the distance from her target at her full tongue's distance it was essentially like a large shove but extremely close it resembles more like one of her drop kicks and wrapping her tongue around itself before using the technique to deliver some extra power to the attack of course at the cost of range of the technique in general, along with the partial discomfort and time it takes to untangle her tongue from around itself.

Another technique she's been working on under watchdog man and his guidance of observing the frogs and doing some research of her own she figured out a way to make her tongue sticky like regular frogs are by turning shaping the mucus and saliva in her mouth before sending it out aptly named sticky tongue the ability completely revolutionized how she used her tongue in combat before where she needed to wrap her tongue around her opponent before being able to move them along with this it allowed her to catch her pray with the simplest of touch on their clothes at least her ability didn't work on people skin very well not that she really wanted it to as she could only imagine the pain it would feel like to be dragged along by your very skin and the likely thing that would occur would be that particular piece that she was attached to would simply be ripped off instead of the person being dragged towards her like she would like. This method of catching people also allowed her to more easily swing them around as well as slam them into object without the chance of hitting her tongue as well the downside of this move was separating her tongue once it was stuck she would have to reapply a counter saliva/mucus substance that would unstick her tongue from the target which was a definite problem if they weren't unconscious yet so to fix this issue she started to work on her next thing.

She was working more with her saliva and mucus since her suit was fully concealed and couldn't be taken off very easily especially in the midst of combat she worked on being able to create her paralysis mucus in her mouth instead which she accomplished fairly easily early on but now she was working on projecting that mucus out from her mouth, she didn't really have a clue on how that would work but after some advice from watchdog man she began to get an idea, he told her to place the mucus in the same way she does her tongue and shoot it out using the same muscles. She understood and started doing things that way and was able to shoot her saliva/mucus out fairly far reaching nearly the same distance as her tongue but therein lies the problem she needed to get it to at least the full range of her tongue so she would be more comfortable in actually using her new sticky tongue ability frequently, she had been working the muscles somewhat. She had found a somewhat secluded place to practice her spitting in a more secluded area she didn't want to have to do these things were people can see her, she would train in the woods where she would puff up her cheeks with a bunch of mucus and than spit it out it wouldn't approach the distance that she wanted again so she began to brainstorm of ideas, she thought again about how she could improve it…she took a few moments to think about it and at first considered the possibility of squishing her cheeks while they were puffed up so that that added boost should send it further than but under the restriction of her suit could she really do that? Well she attempted to do so and found that it was fairly doable although taking her hands off the ground could prove somewhat more difficult to move around more efficiently.

She then brainstorms some names for the attack and Just to name the move paralysis spray just keeping the attacks names short and simple while giving a normal explanation of what would happen although now that she thought about it she wouldn't even be able to say the name when she was going to use it. After that was done and she got around to working more on her physical aspects with her suit on her legendary drop kick wasn't quite doable, the suit actually wouldn't allow her to close her foot together for such a maneuver so instead she kinda just started to use the weight of her suit more than anything using the ton of material plus her body like a wrecking ball curling in on herself while in mid air to maximize the impact. She also began to work on just trying to measure her hops and the strength it would take to move what distance at what speed, she noted that once she was out of the suit she would likely need to acclimate to being much lighter than she was now but that was a bridge she would burn once she got their. After a couple of hours of practice she thought that she was fairly prepared to go back out into the city, there wasn't a lot to do for her that day. She traveled around and helped around in the community if she could but even that gave her a lot of free time.

She met up with a hero she met before chain'n'toad he was put in charge of being a guardian for one of associations many investors and she decided to roll with them for a moment for the time being given she had nothing else to do after the vip was escorted to his appointment the two went to go get something to eat and talked about her adventures in the city and about their mission, which brought up memories about sero and that shark monster…she asked the hero if great salamander had said anything while the two were talking about some shark monster and to her surprise it actually did if he remembered correctly the monster spoke about being driven from its original home in K-city by some shark creature and he added on that there have been mysterious sightings about a rumored fish monster in K-city and after hearing that asui took a moment to text her class this information.

Group chat:

Frogger: guy's I think I may have a lead on sero's monster, supposedly there's a fish monster rumored to be in K-city ….and the monster we hunted before said that a shark monster drove him from K-city

Frozen-phoenix: sent picture of the lord great white, him and bakugo

GoD dynamite: yeah we are formally aware of it..it's been taken care of.

GoC neith: are you guy's alright

Frozen-phoenix: were recovering just fine. thank you

GoD dynamite: don't speak for me!

GS deku: are you alright kacchan?

GoD dynamite: shut up deku! I don't need anyone to look after me!

GS deku: alright!

Uravity: I'm sure that his way of saying he's fine

Lighting raijin: wait didn't sero say it was a kid when he met him? Dang they must grow quickly.

Frozen-phoenix: it was even larger before we dried it out.

Tape weaver: …. Thanks guys.

GoD dynamite: don't mention it.

Grape-a-pult: how are you holding up?

Tape weaver: fine, just fine…the funeral went better than I expected it to despite the ghost best chances, well I really got to thank how people evolved here. I doubt I would get the same reaction back in our world. Tell you guys about it later.

Example: Darkshine, Sweet mask, Pig god, Sato, Aoyama, Kirishima

Aoayama was surprised when sweet mask started off their day fairly differently from how they usually would instead of practicing in their private quarters for most of the day he started he day questioning him about where his red headed friend was as he wanted to discuss with darkshine about something aoyama assuming the most simply said that the two should be in hero association HQ in one of the gyms but after traveling over their and finding the place empty he opted on checking his phone on his whereabouts after that was of being punished by spending thirty minutes in gravity chamber under 10 times gravity which was nearly double of what they would usually practice under after that torturous session which he would have admit was counterintuitive to sweet mask goal as that simply wasted even more time than they would have but he knew now not to commentate on such things and he never really minded the harsh treatment like he didn't deserve it.

After messaging kirishima he found out that the two of them were nearby in a nearby city using some of the facilities there, the two left with haste over to the directions given and came upon a track and field center. The two step inside and were greeted by kirishima and sato the two of them took the pair to where darkshine was he was currently running around the field the size of which was staggering being comparable to that of the Olympics. What staggered Aoyama even more was despite his size the quickness Darkshine showed as he was continuously running around the entirety of the center completing at least hundreds of laps in seconds before he slowed down and let the dust settle was jaw dropping. Sweet mask was quick to go up to the large tanned man and drag him away for some special interview questions revolving around his career as a hero the group of teens were shocked to learn that darkshine was at once labeled as the weakest of heroes in the association when he was just starting out, after a moment more of listening in on their conversation sweet mask quickly shooed them off and tasked them to continued their training.

Aoyama began his training along with sato and kirishima along with two additional heroes that he's seen before at the event the other day bone and mizuki. It was actually miziku that suggested that their crew arrive there in the first place, there were a few comments by sato and aoyama on how kirishima likely just wanted to go see her again which the red headed teen dismissed but still blushed at the comments either way. Aoyama was never all that into lifting weights before and even with his training with sweet mask a lot of it was usually focused around him using his quirk better and fighting in general the only type of strength training he would technically undergo was from being under increased gravity although it wasn't that much of a boost to his strength he realized as in comparison to the others he was far behind them not being able to lift even a fifth of what they were capable of normally without seriously straining himself. This basically went for all activities the group of them began to undergo while in the field besides running well initially anyways when mizuki added the additional fact of carrying something along with their run so that they could maintain their posture it became clear that he would often lag behind the other if he tried to simulate the same weights that they did and unfortunately for him sweet mask wouldn't allow him to lighten his load in comparison.

Another interesting distinction that Aoyama made while he was practicing with the four of them was the difference in combat styles between them. Kirishima and sato mirrored a lot of bones style making use of all of their fully enhanced bodies to attack and defend themselves which was in immediate contrast to the style that sweet mask taught him, sweet mask was more in favor of precise and swift strikes that would be interned to finish off your opponent as quickly as possible and efficiently as possible he to would make use of most of his body to accomplish that goal but in comparison to the style that bone and the other two were doing it was more rugged is how he could describe it they would throw their entire body into each attack they made making their body unbalanced and open to exploit if there opponent managed to dodge around their attack but his style wasn't without fault either he quickly found that if his attacks were absorbed or blocked it became more difficult to follow up his attacks since each attack was meant to be a finishing blow follow up attacks weren't really a thought in his head so it would leave him open for a counter.

In the most basic terms he could describe their opposing styles were that sweet mask was more of a knife/blade while bone and darkshine was more like a hammer. Which made sense kirishima, bone, and darkshine all had very durable bodies being able to withstands heavy punishment so they could hopefully withstand their opponents counters and continue on with their own attacks while he and to a lesser extent sato had to rely more on agility and dodging than they did and to that regard they practiced more with mizuki as those two would duke it out in there powered up states. Mizuki was different in both their regards she fought mostly with tools and without them relied in mostly wrestling and grapple maneuvers but she was also incredibly flexible and agile in her movies she knew how to work her body to give herself an advantageous position which she had to do when it came to grappling she was also a proficient gymnast being able to do multiple flips, spins, and cartwheels all while maintaining her balance it was during this type of training that aoyama excelled at over sato but it did come with own difficulties the further the two went on. After some time pig god had arrived wanting to take sato out for patrol and just in time as well as sweet mask just finished questioning darkshine and his attention was now focused on pig god although he didn't want to interrupt him on their hero work so he took aoyama and the four of them went on patrol together. The patrol was fairly standard a little bit of helping around the community in general or fighting monsters the caveat here was that unlike sato who got pig god to at least spare some of the monsters they fight sweet mask wasn't having any of it and would just kill them instantly upon meeting them, pig god compromised and took sweet mask towards a different area where it just so happen a monster managed to pop up and began to start eating it immediately while sweet mask mumbled to himself on top of a vending machine.

"Pig god the S-class hero , his natural predisposition to eat anything provides him with a body ."that can absorb any impact" and digest poison and subcutaneous fat. His body is known as one without weakness. Heh you have a similar description to darkshine as well." sweet mask regarded to the fat hero.

"He is a living legend to the obese society. Obese society?" sweet mask questioned as he looked up from his pad to look at the monster legs still kicking as it was being engulfed by pig god and he only sighed.

"You know your fighting style is fairly gross, you know? People will probably be more disgusted, especially children. Do you really need to eat every monster?" sweet mask said simply shrugging his shoulders

" That's because it's my main asset, eating and digesting them, I can understand to the casual observer it can look weird, why do you score other heroes anyways despite being a hero yourself?" pig god asked as he finished the monster.

"Think of it like the rating of a top chef, heroes should always be seen as inspiration to their citizens and it is that desire that makes me want to check on the ratings of heroes every day ." sweet mask responded simply. And pig god nodded his head before looking around not seeing the tees in sight yet he wanted to ask the executive hero something.

"The teens, the non-killing army, what are they really?" pig god asked suddenly, making the jovial sweet mask expression harden into a serious expression.

"I was there as well with the others, child emperor said that according to his readings that nothing seemed out of ordinary from the weapons the ship fired so the excuse you guys gave for their powers doesn't follow." pig god remarked and sweet mask decided to tell the truth seeing it unwise to lie at the moment.

"I don't know myself, blast was involved with them in some way but other than that it's a complete mystery. I can understand the concern dealing with their attitude revolving around monsters. It is strange, but if blast has faith in them, so do I. so i'll tolerate the secrecy for now " sweet mask remarked simply and earnestly. Pig god nodded his head in understanding before quickly yanking the pad out of the superstars hands.

"You dare! Was that just a trick to distract me? Give that back." sweet mask said climbing on top of pig god reaching for the device but pig god held it out of reach as he read what was on the tablet, interestingly enough despite what the idol was saying the only things that was listed on the tablet was a list of human traits that he had listed out in order of skills and appearance almost like he was going to attempt to imitate him, weird pig god thought as sweet mask finally managed to snatched the tablet back, the idol was notable sweating as pig god question why his supposed hero rating was set up that way and he responded that he needed a detailed analysis on each heroes character if he knew what to look out for when he were to coach them in improving. He quickly left after that claiming that heroes needed to set examples as a person as well before telling pig god that he could use him as an example of that before hopping away leaping between building to building and just as he was spotting the teens approaching them and telling aoyama to follow him and aoyama did shooting his laser into his suit before saying goodbye and flying off after sweet mask.

Pig god didn't know what to make of the display but he thought that the idol may have a few screws loose from all that fame and fortune. Once sato and pig god reunited they decided to go and stop by a ramen shop and their they met demon cyborg his master along with todoroki and bakugo, sato question the duo on their injuries while pig god sat down next to saitama who was currently in the midst of a food challenge, thinking back to what the idol was saying he thought he should motivate this civilian by proving that the challenge was possible taking an order for himself and devouring it within seconds making genos and the stranger bawk at how he did it so fast but it had the desired effect making the bald man start to work even harder n finishing his meal but pig god knew that going by his pace he wasn't going to complete the challenge so after he was full with his ramen he took the shop owner outside so that he could secretly pay for the bald man's meal. Given that it was becoming late and the sun began to fall, pig god left sato with his friends as he went home.

Coffee: Zombieman, Momo, Tokoyami, mineta

Tokoyami and Momo were both on their way to meet zombieman unlike previously where they would usually drop off toru over att bomb's dojo currently they were headed in almost the complete opposite direction. The two of them were headed over to M-city so a bit further away than he and zombieman would normally go but maybe training with momo required some different applications than his, it did leave toru by herself but ojiro and midoirya assured that they will be there to go pick her up from her late night practice. The two of them were an unlikely combo both of them never really interacting that much in the class or in general really so on their travels towards M-city tokoyami and momo mostly struck up conversation about both of their training under zombieman as it was the easiest common ground the two had between each other.

Tokoyami learned that she helped with arming and supplying the police force from the association which was an idea posed by both zombieman and driveknight to get her more familiar with different type of firearms and armaments and to both of their credit it surely worked momo was now capable of crafting over 20 different weapons ranging from handguns to rifles to even heavy munitions like rocket launchers. Although she could create that many firearms that still didn't mean that she was proficient in using even half of them she could manage handguns mostly well and could somewhat handle rifles due to her extra training with the police themselves but most of it she wasn't comfortable using in a public environment still. Tokoyami on the other hand was still focusing on morphing and wrapping dark shadows into different things, he told momo about his fenrir fangs which he drew inspiration from his battle with slice on nobu island when he had her manifest those claws for him. He also was working on more ways to manipulate dark shadow which would improve his flying speed as well as create different weapons for him to use depending on the situation.

The two converse some more until they finally reach their intended destination to each of their surprise. The place zombieman had them meetup at was just a simple coffee shop, the name was deep one's coffee, a coffee and fish theme place and an interesting combination of foods the two thought for sure. The two entered the store and were quickly caught on by zombieman who waved them over to him. He was seated in a half booth and seated chair section near the window of the store. The two quickly made their way over and began to sit down, tokoyami had instinctively put back on his helmet before entering into the store but took it off after zombieman mentioned it, there was a brief gasp of shock from one of the kids sitting diagonally from them and some other murmurs going on throughout the shop but it died down fairly quickly after. The three of them conversed for a moment before the waiter came and took their orders again. Zombieman only got a coffee while the teens got actual food, momo got something simple like fish and chips while tokoyami got some salmon with fried rice.

The group converse some more about mostly their time, momo and zombieman talked mostly about firearms and ammunition types to use in specific scenarios against what type of opponents and with tokoyami his talks was mostly centered around his bladed training and his time spent with sigismund which zombieman commented on how he was doing teaching someone else and tokoyami said he was managing fine although the younger boys problem can only truly be solved by himself too which zombieman briefly snickers at but brushed it off when questioned about it. Their food soon arrived and the three of them dug in momo momentarily questioning how sweet zombieman likes his coffee given the man dropped seven sugar cubes in a cup that wasn't that large to really permit it but she wouldn't judge someone's taste. The group was momentarily halted front he meal when one of kids from another table came up to them and asked for zombieman and tsukyomi's autograph which surprised both of the edgy heroes but they complied nonetheless and signed the young boys hat he had, momo felt a little left out but people had different taste in heroes just as they did food and she did get a little girl that came up to her wanting her to sign a card for her so she was satisfied nonetheless. Soon after they finished eating zombieman phone started to ring.

"Hello? A mysterious beings using a bomb? No, I don't need explosion proof clothing, but bring me a spare set of clothes, it can be anything. The only demand I make is boxer briefs, not underwear." zombieman said calmly and causally even loud enough for both teens to hear. Momo flushed but tokoyami was barely phased

"Who was that?" tokoyami questioned

"The police." zombieman simply as he took another sip from his coffee

"You said mysterious being not monster?" Momo remarked and zombieman simply shrugged his shoulders.

"Apparently." zombieman replied

"What's the difference between the two if I may ask?" Momo followed up.

"Mysterious beings are anything that can't be immediately identified as an animal, person, or thing. Usually mysterious beings are capable well more like they will identifying themselves as a certain race or something different . The seafolk for an example are mysterious beings not monsters technically speaking but they just lump them under the same umbrella."

"Interesting. So the aliens would be identified as mysterious beings." tokoyami said

"Yup…well we should get going but neith, I'll catch up with you for now I'll send you the directions to the location to try and keep the situation calm and collected. For a while ." zombieman said before his glance landed on tokoyami and for a moment momo hesitated.

"Is…is there something wrong?" momo asked

"This is more of a private matter between him and me" zombieman replied simply and tokoyami got the message and said it was alright for her to go and she did so.

"So how's our little project coming along with the shadow?" zombieman asked.

"Progress hasn't really moved passed where it's been, his eyes remain orange instead of red when out of control and it seemed to have some effect, yesterday I had gone on patrol with one of my friends and had lost control but it didn't attack her but removed her from the situation before going on it's rampage. `` Tokoyami said simply.

"And by "her" you mean your crush so you don't know if that was just a fluke or just natural progression?" Tokoyami merely nodded in response.

"She claimed that his eyes were red and turned orange when he saw her." tokoyami said

"Interesting, where is the little guy now? Odd of him not to say anything for this long." zombieman asked tokoyami merely let out a breath.

"Yes about that , your independence training is also bearing fruit although in more….negative ways and so I have punished him for his actions currently."

"Oh How so? " zombieman asked, tokoyami was a bit worried about momo as the girl had already gotten on her bike and left for the scene.

"Is this really the best time to discuss matters like this shouldn't the incident take precedent" tokoyami said

"Deflecting are we? Well not really the police and heroes are at a stand still really calling me over was just to appease the creatures of an S-class guarantee but if you want me to hurry over you can stop stalling.`` Zombiman said with a smirk as he sat back and took the last sip of his coffee. Tokoyami grimaced for a moment before relenting.

"Well…dark shadow has had a few incidents of taking actions by himself and against my wishes." Tokoyami said, and zombieman let out a hmm of intrigue .

"That's exactly what I wanted to talk about and when you say "wishes" you actually mean demands. Which I think is where the final problem lies, you treat your shadowy friend like equipment like my pistol …or more like a pet…but it sees itself as an actual person there so even that is humiliating for it causing its own set of anger to pile up." zombieman remarked.

" is….is what he's saying true?" tokoyami asked internally but he got no response so he opted to talk more with zombieman

"What brought you to this conclusion?" Tokoyami asked, zombieman leaned back in his chair before responding.

" The last time we did the whole night training thing, the shadow monster was more open to talk and when it came to talking about himself he seemed to really dislike how you were always the focal point of everything and how you always made the final decisions without him having a say mostly. I can only guess it's the reason why it usually plays pranks or leaks info during the day to get back at you in some way." zombieman stated and again tokoyami asked internally to see if what the hero was saying was true but he again had no response. Zombieman got up and stretched before gesturing for them to leave as the two got outside he told tokoyami one more thing.

"Me and neith can handle the situation, I'm gonna let you two talk about whatever you two need to talk about." zombieman said with a wave goodbye and then suddenly the hero was gone out of sight as he disappeared into the crowd of people. Tokoyami was left there in stupor; he finally released his hold that kept tokoyami inside of him and without a verbal word or thought being spoken between the two they simply flew away.

Tokoyami found himself looking over the rooftops towards the sun, dark shadow released and looking out towards the sun as the wind blew. Neither of them said anything for a couple of minutes, just letting the wind hit them unobstructed.

"Was what he said true?" Tokoyami started dark shadow fidgets for a moment before he finally spoke.

"Maybe I…I don't really… can't remember things too well when in that state but it's gotten better since we started this and something like that may have been said." dark shadow said with a bit of hesitance. Another couple of seconds of silence passed as tokoyami did his best to come up with what he wanted to say, so he started with the most basic thing.

"Wha-what do you want from me?" Tokoyami asked simply.

"To- to treat me like an equal, not just someone you just boss around." dark shadow said earnestly.

"But…is that really fair? It is my life after all. " tokoyami defended

"NO! It is our life…. Sure it's your body but we both inhabit it and contribute to it in different ways." dark shadow said annoyed, tokoyami was a bit taken back by the outburst but continued nonetheless.

" But isn't it better to have a coherent hierarchy so that making choices is easier? Having to discuss with you every choice would be time consuming and hindering." tokoyami explained

"I don't need decisions on everything you do in life, just somethings, I'm absolutely fine with you having full control in battle and hero work but some of your you know….social decisions could involve me." dark shadow remarked and he could already feel tokoyami's unease at the proposal.

"Alright let's not get into things I've done, because If I'm fully telling the truth here, they are just things you want to do at least subconsciously the other day with tsu you wanted to see how she looked with the cherry blossom raining down so I did something like that and you always wanted to feel how it was to hold her so I made the situation happen. I respect you and will do everything in my power to help you even if you don't initially see it that way." Dark Shadow said, Tokoyami was speechless for a few moments.

He didn't really know what to say but hearing Dark Shadow say that really put things into perspective for him as he thought back on all the things the shadow creature has done for him. He realized that he was telling the truth while annoying it always worked out in the end. Maybe he could trust his shadow a little more.

"Fine…I guess you're right…I can consider your input at least more than I usually do." tokoyami stated and the two sat in silence once more as they looked over towards the sun, dark shadow noticeably fidgeted again before turning to look at him.

"Does that mean we can finally ask asui out? I mean love seems to be in the air here." dark shadow mostly said as a joke.

"Well…..if someone else in the class gets together than ….sure." Tokoyami said seriously with a nod and dark shadow was shocked by the news and hugged his partner. The two sat up there and converse more about things that could change due to their new dynamic.

---

Momo arrived on the scene and was instantly met with some disgruntled police and heroes among the heroes was actually mineta. Spotting the vice president, Mineta came over to give her the rundown of the situation. Apparently the mysterious beings inside went by the title of subterranean people they said that they are the true people of earth and that they mean to come in peace and share important information with them all but only if an S-class hero guarantees their safety first and a place to stay…momo grimaced at the situation apparently to ensure that the heroes or police don't make any moves they captured a building full of civilians and threatened to detonate a bomb if anyone tried anything. A number of the families with the people involved urged for some type of action and the police questioned neith on why she arrived to the scene and where zombieman was, momo ensured them that the hero was on his way and five minutes later the hero arrived after being given a run down of the situation, he got an idea of what the heroes could do, he spoke into a microphone and announced that only him, neith and grape-a-pult will be entering into the building to discuss the terms of their surrender to ensure that he won't do anything to them he will be going into the building unarmed and that the two heroes accompany him are apart of the non-killing army so they especially have no intentions of killing any of them.

The three of them slowly made their way inside the building and the first things that was to take place before the talks could begin was that the civilians be let go and freed from their captors and ensuring their safety, the monster hesitated for a moment before relenting when momo affirmed that they will be their prisoners in return for the negotiations. Once everyone was saved the negotiations truly began. They were extremely vague in their statements not giving much in the terms of details but they described something coming into their home and completely genociding their species and that the 5 of them were all that was left that was able to escape the carnage. All three of them were intrigued on what the being was saying, he wouldn't give to many details on the thing that attacked but they assured them that it wasn't a hero and that they hadn't had an encounter with a hero since one of them killed their leader when he opted to invade the surface, they had been content into all becoming celibate stopping their overpopulation difficulties until that being arrived and wanted to use their home as a base of operations for something.

The negotiations was going well for a time, the group of five simply wanted a place to stay and call home where they could live peacefully ideally they would like a ground of land where they could expand their race again but they understood an idea like that would take time but would settle for a home and protection which peaked zombiemans interest but before he could ask what the protection was for a sniper shot bulldozed straight through the wall and straight through the monsters head and splattering blood on the hero. Soon after the remaining four started to scramble thinking they were being tricked. mineta was quick to restrain two of the creatures with his pop off orbs while zombieman restrained the other two, momo alternatively created a large barrier that completely blocked them off from follow up shots from the mysterious sniper, zombieman called on the radio demanding who fired the first shot but the police all responded that they did not have snipers in the area furthermore none of the heroes in the area could have made that shot but before he could worry about that suddenly monsters began to tunnel through the floor of the building the first one to arrive was a large candle like creature which released a large amount of flames through the entire area momo created a flame blanket to protect herself while simultaneously protecting mineta and the two creatures near him but zombieman was left to fend for himself the flames burned off most of his clothes leaving him only in his boxers but the other two mysterious beings were currently being burned alive.

After that attack finished more monster began to stream in through various holes in the ground, the fighting commenced in intensity but the intended targets were obvious as the three heroes formed a wall to protect the two last Subterraneaners their plans all faltered however when the ground beneath the two was completely engulfed as centipede like appendage struck up from underground completely impaling one of them and dragging the other one into the depths momo and mineta wanted to pursue but a now naked zombieman halted them. The battle was completely over after that, the monster's objective was clear and done and they left without a trace. Zombieman for once actually appreciated the non-killing army teens as he assumed that they would have surely captured or detained some of the monster in the conflict which the two did or well attempted to do the monster that had been captured or detained by either nieth's cement gun or grape-a-pults orbs were all dead but not by any of their doing, cyanide pills and cut throats marked most of the 10 bodies meaning that this group of monster was clearly organized and didn't want the information to leak. Only one monster remained but it was clearly dying on the ground and left an ominous message before dying that the time was slowly approaching. The interaction was all very strange for zombieman as he pondered on what the monster meant. The group was about to slowly make their way outside but momo halted zombieman who was still naked as mineta went to go and fetch his clothes although zombieman didn't mind that much telling the girl that heroes needed to have the consciousness of being naked after the battle.

play ball: tatsumaki, needlestar, uraraka

Uraraka was currently flying over some city and she had no doubts on who her green haired master was looking for was needle star, the two of them had come to an "agreement" of sorts the other day during the event but agreement was putting it nicely she essentially just threatened to bully the fellow hero for a time until he agreed to train her and while she didn't like gaining a teacher like that through intimidation anytime she opted to try and speak out on it she was mostly just met with the cold shoulder or just being flattened against the ground once the girl became intoxicated even with midoriya attempting to help her that only resulted in the both of them getting into trouble. The turning point of the conversation actually came in the form of fubuki who was equally drunk as her sister more so by what uraraka could tell as she remarked that needlestar still held loyalty to her and that of course he wouldn't follow what her sister ask him to do and needlestar took exception to that himself a little tipsy from the beverages being served and he agreed to tatsumaki's terms just so he could spite the women which she took as well as she would expected and was about to order her men to actually attack the hero but thought better of it when tatsumaki was backing the man both of their espers powers flared for a moment tatsumaki's completely outclassing her sisters and throwing her and crew back a few steps just as a warning sign. The two groups parted ways shortly being brought down by the martial arts brothers bang and bomb.

Finding needle star in C-city he was haphazardly picked up and flown completely back to the outer island next to X-city, when the three of them landed needle star was having whiplash with how fast he was suddenly picked up and moved to an entirely different location uraraka was mostly use to it at this point so she remained relatively unfazed by whole ordeal. After recovering and noticing the two of them needlestar mostly just grimaced and was about to tell something to tatsumaki but seeing the green outline grow more heavily around the girl he thought better of it. He surveyed the area for a moment, nothing but flat rocky land stretching for miles other than the pitfalls and collapsed rock structures that littered the landscape from their past training sessions.

"Stop wasting time and hurry up already!" Tatsumaki yelled, turning the hero's head back to look at them, the hero resisted the power but given that he didn't want his neck snapped or injured he just allowed it to flow. He saw that the brunette girl on the ground was glowing green as well.

"What is she doing to you?" needle star asked, starting to walk over to investigate.

"She's increasing the gravity on me by ten times'' uraraka remarked casually and needle star was slightly impressed despite what she was saying the girl seemed to be handling it fairly well and going by the scenery and what he knew of tatsumaki he shouldn't be to surprised by that. the demon girl probably wouldn't spare her a second in beefing her up to whatever standards she has, a part of him even felt bad for the girl in that regard having to endure all that but she seems to still keeping a head on her shoulder so that showed the girls spirit maybe this won't be such a drag as he originally thought.

"Hey what we going to actually practice with here, you don't want your protégé killing herself do ya? Because there is definitely going to be a lotof trial and error with this practice." needlestar asked tatsumaki.

"Hmph? What are you talking about? If she hurts herself that just gives motivation for her to try and not mess up the second time." tatsumaki said coldly. Needle star was definitely right that this girl was a demon in disguise.

"This field also acts as a barrier that slightly protects me from harm. She may sound mean but she does know not to go overboard on me too much.`` Uraraka said with a laugh, needlestar wasn't too convinced.

" You sure? Unlike mine, your orbs are much heavier and from the looks of it those new ones are even heavier than the other ones. Getting hit by that especially in the face could be pretty hard no matter the defense, well the light defense she has on you." needlestar said gesturing to the orbs uraraka carried with her and the girl did do a double take at the remark he did have a point the heaviest things she's been hit by so far was that bear creature from so long ago and that was fairly painful but manageable but with her new 40 ton spirals she still had her doubts about it.

"Tatsumaki can we compromise, how…how about you create some lighter things for me to practice on but in return I'll keep my quirks effect on them as we practice to get double the training in." Uraraka offered and Tatsumaki took a moment to consider her proposal and the little women actually agreed in the blink of an eye that multiple objects slammed down in front of uraraka looking down at the objects in question were 10 large fist sized rocks.

"How heavy are these?" Uraraka asked as she put down the heavy black orbs on the ground and went over to use her quirk on the rocks and touched the first one and immediately felt the effects of stretching her quirk out.

"There are 10 tons each." tatsumaki said simply and uraraka slightly staggered in response but she didn't complain as she went to the next nine rocks and scooped them up with her grappling hooks unlike her orbs that had a specific plugin that allowed her to secure her black orbs she had to rely on the plain old grapplers to hold onto the rocks. Once she got to the last rock she quickly clutched over her mouth as she felt the barf reach her throat before going back down. She took a couple of breaths before feeling fine to continue. She took a couple of heavy steps forward as Needlestar watched in confusion.

"Are you alright?" needlestar asked

"Yeah….yeah…it's just the effects of my quirk. There is a limit to the things I can lighten and the more I approach or exceed it the more nauseous I get, please tell me our practice doesn't require that much movement. Uraraka said with a hiccup.

"Umm…not for the moment no, but how much weight are you "lifting" anyways?" needlestar asked

"With…with these…I think the total amount is around 350 tons." she said, gasping for breath again, doing some deep breathing exercises to keep her bile down and slowly taking another step forward until she was beside the hero. He whistled when he heard the number.

"Dang can't imagine getting hit by something weighing that much. But we should get started before tatsumaki throws another fit, you don't look like you could handle a strong breeze let alone another one of her tantrums." the hero whispered and she wished she could have told him not to but he was suddenly blasted by a geyser of water sending the hero end over end into the air before crashing back into the ground. Tatsumaki said that, that was a mere warning for what she would do next time he runs his mouth and uraraka explained that the barrier is kinda like a transmitter for her as well so he should be mindful of that the hero just sighed as he got up and brushed himself off, despite the scuffs he came out relatively fine.

With the introductions and things out of the way, the two of them got to work on their practice. The first thing the two work on was the twirling he told uraraka about this before and was the main incorporation in her flying technique but now they were just practicing in keeping a steady momentum unlike needlestar who only had one orb uraraka had to juggle five on each grapple which meant twirling all of them would take some time. so alternatively he said that she should just work on one of them at a time before working her way up to all five if that was even possible as even needlestar had his doubts that things like that could really work out. The two practice some more spinning their weapons and timing when to launch the weapon forwards which was the key part in the attack and how to make it work for her in a fight the next part of the fight was reeling the move back in which where the struggle and nausea really kicked in for uraraka having to stop the rock in mid flight back to her by lifting the rope up took some getting used to and a few times she was struck for her failure to redirect the attack which cycled into her reacting to the pain and than losing control of bile she was suppressing causing her to almost throw up several times but the one time she did was thankfully erased by tatsumaki, although needle star did take the moment for them to have the girl take a break with good timing to as tatsumaki was getting bored of watching them and wanted to get in on the "fun" which uraraka just sighed as she fell towards the ground and needle star cursed himself of what he got himself into.

Lighting in a bottle: volten, kaminari

Kaminari was a bit surprised with the change in approach volten had today there was no preamble or discussion like they would normally have instead opting straight for the strict training he guessed that his master was a little bitter about his time at the event the other day, when he fought sweet mask just to test the A-class rank one metal from everything he's heard about the icon he was sure that he would have refused the duel but that wasn't the case at all apparently the icon was also curious about his predecessors power and so the two fought and the ensuing battle wasn't close at all despite his best efforts volten couldn't land a single attack on the superstar and the degrading remarks on his performance by the idols didn't really help the mood much either. After that fight volten basically went on to simply meditate on his embarrassing performance even though both of his students tried to reconcile with the man that sweet mask was only A-class in name only and for all intents and purposes he was most likely S-class but that didn't make things any better for the man so he decided that he was going to redouble his efforts in his training and he instructed his three disciples that they should do the same.

Kaminari didn't really know what that entailed but was still surprised by the intensity increase. The first thing he had him do was going into his lightning god form and immediately after he attacked him, the goal of the exercise was merely for him to survive the assault so it was similar to his punishment he would receive from so long ago. With this practice he was better able to tell his master intentions and with some help from the class vice president and president he was better able to give an understanding into how this ability really worked so the ultimate conclusions of that they were able to come up with was that when he entered his lighting god state he becomes hyper attuned to the electricity that not only resides inside of him but around him as well in combat when he is focused on a individual this takes the form of him reading the neural impulses being sent by his opponents body which would let him correctly guess how his opponent body will move, he didn't completely understand the mechanic but he got the gist of it good enough and when telling bakugo about it he simply told him that it was essentially a better version of midoriya's danger sense and in that vein he named it lighting sense. Kaminari was could use this extra part of his senses to help him during fighting but only if he could actually react fast enough to actually use it, against volten who definitely still was holding a grudge from the other day would attack he would just be too slow to block or counter in time for the attack.

Blue and yellow lighting were both flaring during the conflict and the conflict continued to outside, he was actually thrown off the balcony of the dojo down to the spike ridden waters below he was panicking but a rush of blue lighting came down and suddenly knocked him to the side avoiding him from a likely gruesome fate before being holstered up above the lake below them. He was fairly shocked when he opened his eyes and realized he was being suspended above the water by the scruff of his jacket, he looked down to see that volten was holding him their and he himself was standing on the water perfectly fine…woah kaminari remarked as he continued to stare at his teacher feet before he was unceremoniously thrown to a large rock platform where he could Watch as Volten walks to the same rock platform and continues forward.

"Woah man! how did you do that?" Kaminari asked giddy, he could technically run on water in his lighting god mode but to just stand on it like walking on a solid surface would be cool.

"lighting when striking against water dispersed amongst its surface therefore with enough of it you can suspend yourself amongst the water acting as a counterbalance for how much you weigh, focus the flow of your power towards the bottom of your feet and then proceed to walk. It may take some ti-" volten was about to say before kaminari just continued on to do just that and he was a natural at it, if the goal was just to flush his power out in any given one direction then even he could do that. Volten was for a moment taken back by the ease at which the boy performed the maneuver before grimacing a bit but he squashed the emotion and continued forwards with his next exercise. The main point of volten teaching kaminari to walk on water was to help focus his mind and center it and get his body used to doing multiple things at a given time, volten also told him of the dangers of being near people when performing this technique as the electricity that constantly flows out of them is spread across the water and can completely fry a normal person in seconds.

The next exercises they did was more practice with kaminari and his equipment this time also practicing while he was maintaining his footing the water which proved incredibly strenuous on the teen he had to occasionally call down lighting on himself just so he didn't completely short out but even with all that he was starting reach his limit and he could feel his body began to got into that light headed and empty state but he fought the urge determined to stick through at least for some time longer. His aim with his device hasn't improved that much but he was able to at least get things in the right direction now, he always imagined the beam of lighting he could shoot out as a straight line but in truth it technically wasn't there was the possibility for it to fork out wards and strike in a different location than he intended but what was a straight line was his release blast which was completely different form his regular lighting attacks and was clearly more powerful which made sense given that it took usually the entire capacitor to fire off only one shot. The two of them briefly stopped their fighting as a large green flash appeared off on the horizon near an island a dozen miles away and volten seeing it as a good opportunity decided to go and investigate with kaminari, although both of them had an idea on what or in particular who was the culprit of the light.

No pain no gain: Flashy Flash, Tank Top army, Iida

Shoji's was sparsely surprised when he entered into the tank top headquarters and found tank vegetarian and tank philosopher their, vegetarian had some gauzes and bandages over his nose to cover up his injury it was fairly severe in the fact that he couldn't actually breath through his nose for the moment and had to breath through his mouth to circulate air, he had to go through surgery in the next few days to get his nose and passage way back in working order. Meanwhile tank philosopher wasn't faring any better and by most metrics would argue his injuries were not only to his broken right arm which was in a cast, he also had multiple internal fractures and even a few broken ribs. He remarked that a probable cause for his injuries being more severe than that of vegetarians was that he was the second one taken out from the duo although he did allude to the point that despite both of them being outclassed by the individual vegetarian went down a little too fast for his liking in secret to shoji.

It was safe to say that neither hero was capable of doing hero work given their injuries so shoji had to decide on different work partners for the day eventually he was assigned tank girl and tank demon for the remainder of the day the three of them left out the city that the three of them were scheduled to patrol for the day was O-city, the crew of three arrived and quickly began to patrol the city looking for anything out of the ordinary or simply waiting for the monster alarms to warn them of something happening. The trio went on to stop some petty crimes such as robbers, thieves and even a few bounty rewards that were levied by the association. Tank girl was sure to keep a lookout on any wanted men in the cities they were going just for a stake in the extra cash that they provided. The group eventually got a monster warning and no surprise the monster was another tree type this one was actively strange from the rest however unlike previously where most of the monster would resemble the cherry blossom trees that marked the season ends these trees were completely different they lacked any identifiable traits or any recollection on it being alive. But the damage the trees were presenting were easily present the trees seemed to expand with extreme speed sprouting up new trees that would quickly encompass ground but the way they spread was the real issue a number of civilians seemed to have been riddle with spiny intrusions that evidently came from the trees themselves and if embedded into the ground the seeds would grow even more trees that would continuously replicate.

Tank demon quickly recognize the trees as dynamite trees there fruits that they hold could explode and the seeds within reaching speed exceeding that of 240 kilometers an hour , which would explain why some of the civilians they rescued would be bleeding from wounds, the trees also had spiky thorny hides that made it almost impossible to touch physically and if the heroes or people got to close to them the spikes would grow and lash out which was the only sign of life that they gave other than rapid spread the group of them only did their best to completely save the civilian in the area while retreating from the rapidly approaching forest of murder trees that was steadily approaching them tank demon asked if he should remove his mask but tank girl denied the request as physical force proved that things simply wouldn't work against this type of threat so they continued to work on civilians evacuation while requesting for reinforcements from the association specifically someone with a lot of fire power or a weed wacker as tank girl put it . before long the trees had actually managed to surround them for a brief moment in time forcing them to defend against the trees numerous exploding seeds, shoji created multiple dupli arms to shield his friends from harm catching some of the seeds but mostly just allowing them to hit the duplicated appendages the crew of them soon found that the couldn't move very much due to the proximity they were to the trees spikes which would spring out to any sudden moves they made by and given the number that surrounded them it proved more hazardous so they simply had to wait for backup while preventing any of the seeds that exploded from touching the ground beneath them in hopes that a trees doesn't sprout up right in between their numbers. Luckily they didn't have to wait long because soon after a wave of bark and wind brushed past them, it was Iida shoji realized as he stooped in front of them.

He regarded them for a moment before saying that they needed to leave the area immediately and that flash was going to come through, he continued saying that he would make a path for them to follow but shoji halted him saying that he will help him out he could already see the dimples in his armor that showed the seeds bouncing off or some scuff marks that were like from the spike intrusion from the trees surface. He Picked up a log which seemed to be inert now that it was disconnected from the source and channel his tank top power into his tank throw the empowered log powered through a thick branch of trees and briefly created a path for them to traverse, Iida used the opportunity to speed through smashing through any of the trees that were close enough to activate their spike self defenses and after they were taking care of singled for the rest of the group to come through, they did and just in the nick of time as well as when they finally exited the thicket of spiky trees as soon as they turned around the nearly kilometer long thicket completely evaporated in the blink of an eye as flash came through the resulting trees and the shockwave scattering the trees to the wind.

Tank girl breathed a sigh of relief for a moment but the battle was far from over as the wind scattered the seeds all over the place creating even more problems or it would have if the backup didn't arrive in the form of multiple elements; related which included even todoroki and koda's disciples brut, enjoe, and chameleon along with heatedge, genos, and even driveknight plus the police with their new energy rifles with the group of them the infestation was quickly wiped out fairly easily the threat level of the muder trees was raised to that of dragon as a result which tank girl yipped at as they would be credited with beating a dragon level threat, although shoji pointed out that the S-class would likely take most of the credit but she assured that it wouldn't matter because the civilians would mostly see them as the heroes who saved them and their opinions matters just as much as defeating the monster. The groups quickly disbanded after the battle was over not leaving the story for many goodbyes or farewell as they continued to move on drive knight combined with the police helped civilians that have been shot with the seeds and nurse them to health the seeds that weren't burned to a crisp by the heroes were taken by the dark machine eager to figure what had transpired, the two mediocre group members asked the cyborg what happened with bakugo and todoroki and he simply told them that they were with his master at the moment. After shedding his shredded dupli arms which drive knight also wanted to collect which going off momo opinion was likely due to his incessant need to research strange abilities so he can replicate them he decided to let him not like he had much use for them anyways.

Finding a path: Koda, Aki

Koda was still a bit worried about torax as he traveled toward his usual trainer in R-city, the tiger didn't feel up to move very much ever since there excursion on the beach the other day and encounter with that ninja even though he assured him that he was fine his body told the signs of something else after pressing the tiger about it for some time he revealed that the explosions that the ninja hit him with were more damaging then he thought they'd be along with that attack he did that scattered them in the first place luckily he has some low level regeneration that allowed him to at least partially recover on his own it would just take time and until then he would just like to be left alone for at least another day while his body recuperated which koda and aki was happy to give him time to, the only other request was to give him catnip which helped relax him more and koda assumed would help him with his healing process.

Aki still felt awful about the other day not only was torax injured because of her but koda also had a scar going down the length of his arm where she had scratched him with her claws although koda would tell the cub it was alright she still had her doubts and noticeably recoiled when she looked at it. Koda was going to lie and tell everyone that the ninja caused it but Aki and Torax both went against that and told the truth of what actually happened. Aki didn't want anyone to take the blame for her but the gesture wasn't lost on the cub and made her care for Koda even more which inversely made her regret her attack even more. She tried to promise Koda that she wouldn't do something like that again but seeing her fathers killer again just made her flip out and Koda being the understanding person he understood the feeling although that begged the questions on what the two of them should do if they encountered the man again. Given the disparity between him and even someone as strong as torax she didn't really know how she could possibly get revenge on her father and it almost felt hopeless for her which added on to her down demeanor. Koda really didn't know how to really tackle the situation whether he should just tell the cub to drop her vendetta against the criminal or to encourage the cub to continue to get stronger in hopes of being able to take him down sometime later especially given the secret he was still hiding from her so he just let her come up with her own solution to the problem.

The two arrived in R-city and into their usual gym and were quickly greeted by the usual gym goers and a coupe of his fellow students, over time the gym had come to respect aki and torax presence even more so when sometimes monster would spring up to close to the gym and they would quickly take care of it or when there class was on their morning runs and a monsters just so happens to appear they would take care of it leaving the class with a feeling of security and safety with the creatures some would even bring little snacks for them to feed on throughout their day of practice. So the absence of torax was noticed fairly quickly some asking koda of what happened to the tiger and if it was ok and koda assured them that he was fine. None of them would admit it but some of their number was a bit more worried of the day given that the tiger wasn't there as it was the main defender of monster threats not that the cub didn't help but aki was only 4ft tall when standing on her hind legs and her threat level still wasn't that much to write home about some of the members in the gym could actually beat her if the situation truly called for it as they found out when some monster had confused her senses once causing her to attack them instead.

that didn't stop them from still continuing on with their practice like normal and luckily not much of any monsters were present this time around. There practice was bog standard for the most part cardio training, strength training, stance practice, and more but the the true difficulty came in the form of what boxing style koda should undertake his coach advised that given his size and weight class of cruiser weight the most adaptable position for him to got was that of a slugger which specializes in heavy and hard hitting attacks aiming for a knockout blow but given natural composition of being friendly and not wanting to hurt people he naturally suited more towards that of an out-boxer which would usually stay on the defensive and wait for his opponent to strike as he slips in an attack of his own before quickly drawing away. The coach warned him that this style works in practice because boxing is a measure of points but for hero work it likely wouldn't serve him real good as the style lacks power although he didn't desensitize the teen from learning it taught the teen strategy.

Another reason why koda technically could bypass the the style system entirely was due to Aki, he could theoretically practice all four major forms of boxing the third being swarmer which is a rapid barrage of punches with quick movement to put pressure on his opponent with aki's boost he could bypass his natural relatively slow body movement to gain increased speed to match some of the average of swarmer styled fighters students which the coach would allow him to do on separate blocks to scrim with each style combining all three of these styles together could make him proficient in the last style which was boxer-puncher a diverse and dynamic boxing style that takes elements from each of the previous but the coach said he would still have a long way to go to really putting it into practice and knowing it by heart their training went on for a couple of horse before it was finally time for them to go, unlike usually where metal bat would be their to pick him up and they would go out and proceed to do hero work the hero was currently busy taking care of his sister who said she had a mild fever which he quickly spiraled and blew it out of proportion to take the girl out of school for the day and he suspended his hero duties for the moment leaving koda with a free day and not having anything else to really do and his worry about fighting monster without torax he ultimately decided to just head over to the hero association headquarters.

Aki was fairly hesitant to go there knowing where Koda was headed and given the absence of torax present, which surprised him given that Aki and Scaledon seemed to be getting along just fine but maybe she was just trying to look out for him more now that even she knew that they were more vulnerable with just the two of them, either way she did raise a valid point but he still wanted to go as this would basically prove if scaledone was truly receptive to him or he was just scared of torax so off the two went and came upon the cell that contained him, they had permission to make it a bit more homely for the creatures based on his insight and surprisingly he wanted a sandy environment the mirrored the desert forest hybrid theme which made koda question what animal he spawned from to suggest it. As they entered they found the monster simply relaxing having just eaten something but Koda couldn't really tell what, given that everything was digestible to the monster, even the bones. Scaledon understood what happened to torax and even told him how bold he was to appear before him without him there. making aki stand in front of him in a guarding position while growling at the monster but it simply laughed her threat off, he remarked that while he could kill him he sees no reason to, he would likely just end up dead next after that, which koda guessed he couldn't dispute but he wondered if that was the monster true reasoning or that was just a bluff to keep up his persona, the reason he thought that it was a bluff was that scaledon suggested that koda was here to take him out for a spin as a guard monsters since the cat had past away although koda stated that torax wasn't dead just hurt for the day and couldn't make it but even if it was the case he doubted that the association would let him take scaledon out as the monster was simply too big and would cause people to panic if they see him.

Not to mention if they could really trust the monster but Koda kept that last bit more to himself. The three of them chatted for a bit before koda left and continued on to his next monster game-berus the turtle creature was completely chained up still so it couldn't really move anywhere or do anything but koda made sure to come around every so often to clean him off apparently the dirt and grime was somehow perpetually manifesting inside of him which would drip around the large turtle and if sufficient volumed even start to squeeze through his shell. Koda would set aside a day in the week to wash the turtle off and at least reduce its filthiness for a moment along with helping the turtle scratch itself.

He would use a high pressure water cannon that was meant for cutting metal on the carapace just so it could scratch that itch at least slightly, they're conversations wasn't much of anything mostly just game-berus questioning why koda was treating him so nicely as it was in definite juxtaposition to how his owner treated him and koda would just remind the monster that people would usually treat their pets with respect and like their part of the family and he was just trying to show that with his actions. Game-berus wasn't totally convinced with koda given his living arrangements or lack thereof , koda had questioned his enclosure many time but they simply told him it's the best way to drain the creature power and that if he could guarantee that the monster would willing hand it over then that's the only way it would be contained and game-berus definitely was stingy in that regard. After finishing his cleaning and feeding game-berus a couple of dozen of watermelons he decided to take his leave aki beside him, she had learned how to use the webs and stuff her nose full of them to handle the smell the creature cell would usually give off. As they walked back they saw them working on the construction of a new cell. The title next to the cell read Mysterious being: Lord great white(the last of the sea folk) and Koda was baffled before taking a picture and sending it in the group chat.

Another day another dollar: child emperor, Mina, Jiro

Jiro and mina were both continuing on with their practices from previously, jiro has been getting accustomed to her new earphone jacks upgrades child emperor accommodated the girls request to reduce the danger the jacks actually had from before by introducing a toggle that can manipulate its form with just a thought, the form that would turn the jacks into basically weapons themselves was for her to think or say ear-blade not that she would use that form that much is she could help it that was, she didn't really think or at least hope she wouldn't have to use the form that much but it would help her pierce extra durable material which would allow her to use her quirk more effectively although she really didn't like the idea of using it to much on organic targets well not in an actual serious fashion she thought as she remembered that she does and has used her vibrations against kaminari and mineta before but those were essentially love taps, what child emperor suggested was something far more cruel such causing internal combustion inside her target using her vibrations by increasing the intensity very rapidly once she sunk her earphone jacks inside but just the thought of it made her extremely nauseous and she mostly ruled it out completely.

The next things she gained from her improved jacked equipment was the miniature satellite dishes that expanded her listing capabilities her spy-ears as she called them allowed her increased hearing distance from up to a kilometer radius around her it also allowed her to tune out things she found unimportant to focus on only the things she actually wanted to hear and not the background noise. Her increased hearing also allowed her to listen through the HA walls although as a testament to their noise canceling abilities it wasn't very far cutting that distance down to around 100 meters at best and that was if she was through one wall behind several decreased the effective to the point that she could only hear mostly her next door neighbors to her left and right along with the one above them, and she only knew that for certain due to showing off the stuff for kaminari the other day while they were alone in her room and she had accidentally caught the conversation happening between toru and ojiro which she made the mistake of letting slip to the electric idiot and overhearing his confession but despite that kaminari took the information well even shooing people away from ojiro's door in the morning when it became apparent that the blonde boy wasn't in his room showing his growth as person that she appreciated but she quickly shook her head as she began to get lost in thought and focused back on the task at hand.

Her next feature in her ear piece was armored-ears mode this mode transitioned her pieces earphone jacks into more of a bludgeoning weapon and it armored up all the way towards her ears clouding them in dark purple metal , the problem with this form was that it essentially deafened her quirk but also that her earlobes would be stuck in the position that they were initially stretched to when she activated the form so she had to be mindful of that, she had the idea of a form like this after her jacks being nearly burned by dabi during paranormal war so she thought having some protection for them could work wonders she wouldn't want something even worse to happen to her quirk as she doubted her awakening whatever it was would allow her to sprout new ones and in the exact opposition to that thought in her armored ears state she would actually practicing bashing targets with her jacks although it was definitely going to be just a last resort move if the enemy got to close to her. Child emperor emphasized that range combat can't always be guaranteed and that she should work on her close combat skills and to exemplify that he offered to spar with her which she initially found ridiculously to fight a 10 year old but after actually attempting to and loosing to a 10 year old she became even more embarrassed even if he had use of some of his tools.

Mina on the other hand was still practicing with her teacher forte and she has learned a lot of things from the man not only in just how to fight but also just how to appreciate music more diving deeper into the meaning, subtext, and culture that surrounds them which helped improve how she moved with certain music playing almost as if possessed by the song. A lot of the techniques involved with the martial arts revolved around the legs involving numerous kicks and moving about, mina had her improved foot equipment on which allowed her to spray acid in numerous direction or in a single stream coming out of the front and back of her foot, or if she was above the opponent it could also be dispelled out like rain from the bottom of her feet.

Mina's time with forte also helped her increase her stamina and coordination one wrong move could spell disaster in actual combat due to how dependent her style was in keeping the movement and flow of her body going, she would try and implement her acid into her maneuvers as well such as acidic cartwheels or kicks. When sparring with forte it would offer her somewhat of an edge in how he could approach the girl of course she didn't want to actually injure the man but he would be more worried about his phone and headset getting damage making him back off in their game of tag, during this game they would compete to see who would be it by the time the song ended making their practice fairly fun which worked perfect for mina.

After a couple of hours practicing the group of four left to go out on patrol, nothing seemed to be of serious danger for their time in Y-city but they continued to survey the streets nonetheless. The group was briefly interrupted on their travels by two sisters who were clearly fans of Mina if the makeshift horns on their heads were anything to go by when they introduced themselves it jogged mina's memory of the letter she got from the girls, reptera and reptora she hadn't expected the two of them to be fully grown women and apparently the two ran a reptile farm and would love for her to visit one time or another and the conversation soon drifted over to Jiro as well when the women recognized her from her voice, showing them a video of her singing from previously that had been blowing up on the web lately making Jiro flush with embarrassment. Given the lack of monster activity recently child emperor gave the two girls the rest of the days off which allowed the twin sisters to drag the three of them off to go see their farm although neither girl was as excited about seeing reptiles and forte simply went with the flow as he couldn't hear much of anything with his headphones on.

Judgement: bang's group, bomb's group

Ojiro despite still being tired after waking up and eating still continued on with his day with midoriya but his exhaustion presumably because of his secondary tail was still repairing itself he actually had to stop by for some energy drinks and snacks on their way to bangs just so he could feel up to practice along with being tired he constantly found himself hungry as well no matter how much he did eat, he couldn't imagine what it would feel like once he would start practicing but he would try nonetheless, due to their little detour they were a little late for their transgressions bang order them to complete around twice as many laps around his dojo then they originally did and to climb to the top of the mountain using only their hands not only tying their feet together but also tying a large rock towards their bonds, the punishment was extremely strenuous on both individuals midoriya would have taken the punishment without using OFA but given's ojiro's compromised state he optimized to not do so powering up to only 15% so that he could carry his size of the load and just in case ojiro fell down or missed his step but despite being tired he still managed somewhat fine only falling about twice before being able to make the climb fully up to the mountains submit where both teens wheeled for breath. As they reached the top their training didn't end however bang acknowledged their exhaustion and instead opted for less physical activity first.

Starting off their training with some meditation that would lead into image training and it was extremely telling of how ojiro was feeling when during those exercises the blonde teen had actually dozed off a couple of times something charanko was surely getting on him for as payback for all the times his junior was on him for the same thing. Eventually bang whiffed out that something was wrong and the two teens explained what happened to him the day prior and there belief on how it was affecting him at the moment and bang understood completely and began to think up of less movement based activities the boys could undergo while he recovered, he once again commended him for his commitment to the craft which ojiro gave a half hearted thanks. Most of their day essentially revolves around basic strength training exercises such as push ups, sit-ups, squats, jumping jacks, and even unique standing exercises. After some more strength training both midoriya and bang left again to go train with the teens danger sense but as charanko and ojiro continued with some light sparring, light being the correct terms as ojiro wasn't capable of doing any prolonged fighting as his strikes and blocks would get sloppy and sloppier as the mock battle continued something that charanko was happy to take advantage of winning against the teen a couple of time before just deciding to forget about it and let the tailed teen just rest for the moment telling him that he would cover for him if bang came back and for just this one moment ojiro allowed it and simply took his nap among the trees.

Midoriya and bang were back near the waterfall under his main dojo area, the teen got back into his position in the center of the lake and sat in the center as he tried to focus his danger sense through his body and out of his surroundings like they usually do bang would first prep him up by throwing rocks filled with intent to harm and hurt and just like before he was able to move his head out of the way just in time to dodge the incoming projectiles but when he ceased all of his intent the task became increasingly more difficult and it didn't help that bang would always change his position after every time he threw a rock his way or he would mostly change positions sometimes he would stay in the same position along with a change in position he would constantly change target whether that be the back of his head, the crook of his neck, the back of his spine or his arms, the one thing he didn't target was his face which he was thankful for. But along with the difficulty of training his mind was still on garou and what they talked about the other day was distracting him until his curiosity simply broke.

"Bang do you mind if I ask you a question about garou?" Midoriya remarked still with his eyes closed. given his concentration he felt the subtle shift in bangs aura that he could somewhat sense as his anger leaked out just in from the name of his once student.

"Still worried about him?" bang questioned, midoriya nodded

"I….I wanted to know why he came to you? Why did he seek to become stronger?" midoriya questioned.

"That….that is a very personal question to ask? Why do you want to know?" bang asked

"To…understand him better." midoriya said simply, his voice somewhat downcast, bang hummed in, though for a moment Midoriya could hear the sound of his foot pacing around him against the backdrop of the waterfall.

"How about this, if you manage to successfully catch one of the rocks I throw at you, then I will tell you." bang said simply and Midoriya smiled and nodded in agreement before redoubling up his concentration around him but even with that he failed multiple times.

"All might used some sort of anchor for the detection, comically that antenna styled hair was his, try something like that, something to anchor your detection." he heard the fourths internal voice remark.

And midoriya began to think about what he could do, he began to start thinking of just copying all might again but quickly dash those thoughts he needed to find things out his own way so instead of doing that he decided to put both of his hands to the ground and tried to focus his danger sense through them and miraculously it began to work almost like a sonic wave he could slightly tell where bang was around him his form against trees radiated a calm blue aura which tipped him off to his whereabout but sadly it didn't clue him in to the rocks he threw his way and the sudden smack took him completely out of concentration but it was a start at least, continuing this train of thought of having some sort of anchor for his danger sense and than he got an idea he suddenly went into full cowling and began to flare out the electricity that surrounded him as he raised the percentage and as the next rock that flew towards him interacted with that aura midoriya immediately reacted raising his hand immediately to catch the rock that was thrown directly at his face and he smiled as he felt the rock in his hands and he opened his eyes for the first time since practice began looking right at bang who looked similarly pleased with his progress before waving the boy over to come sit down on a tree stump next to the older gentleman, midoriya powered down and began his walk over and sat down next to his teacher. The olderman took a deep breath before continuing.

"Garou was first brought to me by his mother. Despite how she acted towards him she was worried about him." bang remarked

"What was wrong?" midoriya asked

"She didn't know but he would come home wounded and hurt so she assumed that he was getting bullied in school." bang said, so midoirya's hunch was right afterall was his first thought his second thought being how similar they were in that regard although he had to give garou and his mother some bonus points for actually attempting to do something about it but in that same regard he doubted learning martial arts really would have helped him that much from kacchan.

"So I assumed the boy wanted the strength to protect himself but one day he just suddenly went berserk and ruthlessly beat everyone for almost no reason at all." bang said getting even angrier as he recalled the events before calming down again.

"Given your question I assume that you two spoke, did he tell you a reason for what he's doing?" bang asked midoriya and midoriya nodded.

"In a manner of speaking but from what I can gather he wants to become a monster without losing himself, he believes that heroes are killing monsters indiscriminately just because they will be praised regardless of why the monster was formed in the first place." Midoriya remarked and in a way he did understand that meaning but something was bothering him with it.

"But what does that have to do with becoming a monster?" bang asked and midoriya merely shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm trying to figure that out myself, I can only guess that he wants to change people's minds as a monster instead of a human." midoriya suggested and bang nodded in thought.

"Master bang…..when you find him what do…you intend to do with him?" midoriya asked

"I attend to stop him before he hurts anyone else." bang remarked simply.

"Stop him….how?" Midoriya continued pressing for a more direct answer.

"By any means necessary." bang remarked again looking down at the boy and midoriya let out a gulp as he felt the anger completely seep out of bang which was a definitive answer to his question. But before they could really talk about anything else charanko and ojiro called down to them saying that ojiro was leaving towards bomb dojo which marked the end of there training session for the day.

---

Toru was having an ok time during her training with bomb nothing was to out of the ordinary for her even though she still had thoughts about the other day and concerns about what ojiro was going though currently which would often times distract her during her training process. Jackie being as inquisitive as ever caught on quickly to the girl being off especially when she opted to spar with her today instead of fred and although the news of her and ojiro's relationship standing was also quickly revealed, she didn't linger on it for that long seeing how uncomfortable she was when reacting to it so the details were basically sparse.

The epitome of how toru acting weirdly was her performance when using the whirlwind against their practice targets, the girl who was almost as proficient in using the technique as well as fred was, but now she was suddenly unable to use it all, but bomb wasn't wholly convinced of the act recognizing the girl was purposefully hindering herself by changing and switching her finger movements at the last second to completely prevent the whirlwind from coming out. Bomb took the girl to the side and asked her about what the problem was and she told her sensei about what happened the previous day and how she hurt someone extremely closed to her and that she was reluctant to really use the technique after that especially in close proximity to others and bomb understood the girls plight and asked her to bring this friend of her to come to the dojo, she didn't know where the older man was going with this but she obliged as he then gestured for her to get back to work with the rest of the class.

As the class was letting out toru was a bit surprised that Fred was also staying behind with her and Jackie, speaking of the dark skinned girl she was currently arguing with to just wait outside.

"Why do I have to wait outside for what's about to happen?" she questioned

"Because it would likely help toru better." bomb said

"What bombs means to say would be that your likely be a distraction." Fred said as he finally got the girl to the door.

"Hey, I can be quiet." she defended and fred snickered at that before rolling his eyes.

"Sure you can , hey how about if you just wait outside for a bit, I'll take you out later like you've been trying." Fred suggested, but Jackie just scoffed.

"Well I'll let you know I have a boyfriend now, thank you very much." Jackie said, crossing her arms and it was toru turn to laugh.

"You spent one day with him and now he's your boyfriend?' toru said with a chuckle. Jackie mostly just shrugged her shoulders.

"hey a girl gotta dream big you know? And we sort of clicked." Jackie said and Fred used the distraction to open the door to the dojo and gently shove her out of it and at the door in that moment was Ojiro who was surprised by the girl being shoved into him but he made his way inside nonetheless. Jackie on the other hand was set outside with midoriya the two discuss sometime about random things before talking about sero and what he was up to although midorya's news didn't improve the girls mood at all but she did take the opportunity to get the boys phone number and midoriya managed to convince the tape boy to come down to the dojo so as those two waited for sero the other inside went on to deal with toru and her problems.

Bomb explained the situation to ojiro of what was going to happen and allowed him to tell her that way she would be at least a little more forthcoming to the idea but that plan didn't work out to well as the girl was super resistant to the idea initially at least. The plan was to get toru to use the whirlwind on him directly which she was completely against, she didn't want a repeat of what happened the other day to ever cross her mind let alone do the same things she did then but even worse if she completely diced up her boyfriend the entire event made stomach flip and felt like she was about to hurl even ojiro's best efforts to come around to the idea was mostly falling on death ears. Fed told her of a time where he experienced something similar that she was going through he had gotten carried away with his power and accidentally cut off one of his friends arms thankfully it was a clean cut similar to ojiro's tail allowing him to get it reattached but it still haunted him but he explained that she shouldn't run away from it but she should embrace the danger and risk and learn how to control it. Bomb echoed those thoughts and explained to toru that simply using the whirlwind is the first step in her training she now needed to learn how to control the eye of the tornado and the distance on where it goes and how deep or shallow the wind will cut. After 20 minute of talking they finally got the girl to commit to doing the maneuver only due to the assurance that bomb could counter act the force and essentially nullify her attack with his own if things were going wrong and ojiro's trust in her.

So the two began he was in the center of the arena where the usual training dummy was and she got into her stance and after several deep breaths trying to control her rapidly beating heart she unleashed her technique….ojiro was completely fine although that wasn't because toru actually managed the technique correctly or the fact that bomb canceled out the technique in actuality as ojiro opened his eyes to spectate his surroundings only to notice glowing yellow light constructs surround his frame they weren't in the shape of a barrier but more in the shape of a funnel which presumably redirected the slicing air into the walls further into the dojo and the out walls of the dojo which would explained the hiss and slash that he heard along with the scream from outside that Jackie admitted. The girl followed by midoriya and sero rushed inside to see what happened.

"Ugh… where did you guys go?" the girl questioned

"What do you mean? We're right here." Fred said a couple feet from the doorway waving at the girl.

"Ugh we don't see you dude?" Sero remarked as he took a step inside the place before noticing that half of himself suddenly became invisible and the three of them marveled at that fact before rushing inside.

"Toru, is that you?" Midoriya asked as he stepped inside the bubbled and actually saw the girl for the first time. She had green hair with red and blue highlights scattered about it. The girl turned to midoriya for a moment before turning back to look at ojiro that was staring at her wide eyed as he rubbed his eyes for a moment again to see if he was really seeing things correctly. Toru let out a breath she didn't know she was holding as she saw that he was ok and immediately ran up to him and hugged him fiercely.

"I didn't know your hair was green? I thought you said it was light blue?" ojiro said as he ran a hand through her hair and the girl immediately blushed as she touched her own face.

"You…you can see me?" she questioned and he nodded.

"You have very unique eyes, they almost look like they're glowing and your eyebrows are fairly unique as well, coming up over and spreading out to even the sides of your eyes." ojiro remarked and the girl blushed heavily before burying her face into his chest.

"I guess this means that he really did see you naked huh?" Sero teased from the sidelines which brought the romance to an immediate halt as she struck the boy in the gut, making him stagger backwards and she began to blush even more and Jackie began to question the boy for details of that event. Midoriya was more concerned about the quirk itself than how toru looked measuring the area affected by her field of influence and saw that everything in 30 foot radius of her was invisible, after the initial shock of what happened wore off bomb ultimately decided for to just call it for the day allowing them all to leave while toru didn't achieve her goal for the session and he wanted to have similar session later, he would probably need to plan a more structurally integral environment for the training as he didn't want to damage his dojo. So the four of them all left and began to head home. Fred and Jackie went one way while the 1A teens left another. They didn't forget to take pictures of toru before her awakening wore off and put it in the group chat in case it wore off before they got there, which it did after 1 hour, midoriya asked her questions the entire time about how she was feeling or if she felt different but toru didn't feel much of anything from the affect at all.

Deliberations: Class 1A

As the four members entered into the house the currently invisible girl was immediately jumped upon by her pink bestie whom after viewing the girl's face was immediately saddened by the fact that she couldn't see her anymore.

"Awww that sucks….I wanted to see your face!" Mina said in a loud pout.

"That's why we sent a picture ahead." sero said with a snicker

"But I wanted to see it with my own eyes, how do I know if that's truly her you guys could just be pranking us." mina responded

"For what it's worth I can vouch for the photo being real." ojiro mumbled out.

"Yeah me too, she really did awaken the other day." midoriya also added.

" so things were definitely scene the other -"

" Can we just not bring that up anymore." ojiro said as forcefully as he could though his blushing face and tired demeanor cutting off mineta.

"So how does it work? How do you activate it? Ribbit?" asui asked

"I….I'm still not sure, this is only the second time it has been activated and I guess it's just what happens when I feel a mix of worry and fear for….someone else." Toru explained. And the class immediately awed at the implication making both of the two in question flush at the attention but even despite that toru still sat next to ojiro as they went to sit down.

"But what happened today to cause it?" Jiro followed up.

"Well bomb wanted me to get a better control of the whirlwind so…..he wanted me to use it on ojiro again.'' Toru said, earring a bunch of scrunched up faces from their audience.

"Woah isn't that pretty dangerous, I mean if it was me I could somewhat get behind it but even I would have my doubts about taking it, I can only imagine what it will be like for you ojiro." Kirishima remarked.

"I….I trust her and she protected me from it this time so I guess some progress was made" ojiro replied with a chuckle, he felt the invisible girl's hands slowly cover over his.

"Bomb and bang's training is usually intense so I guess I should have expected something like that to happen but it was…still is extremely stressful for me to do, if something goes wrong than…" toru began to say.

"Bomb said he would have stopped it, so it'll be alright." ojiro said, stopping her dark line of thought, the hand on top of his tightened before releasing for a moment. The group began to discuss more about their day, most of the conversation revolving around sero and what's going through his head, he had dramatically calmed down more than previously in the morning something that both kaminari and mineta teased could have been from him visiting Jackie again which he didn't deny to much although most of his relief came from people not holding anything against him but he also felt conflicted in thinking that he got off simply to easy for his transgressions. The conversation was quickly put on hold as from out of the back stepped out zombieman of all people followed closely behind by momo, koda, and tokoyami they were coming from out of the back door that lead to the monster house and all eyes were on him as he began to head towards the exit, he only a kurt greeting and farewell before making his leave. And then all the attention was towards the three teens that were with the man.

Momo explained what had happened today with her and mineta dealing with the mysterious beings called the subterraneaners and how there entire species was killed by a mysterious force of monsters but they made note of a green butterfly creature with a singular eye which when discussing it with Tokoyami remembered that a similar description torax had used for the creature that turned him into a monster and they were questioning him about it, they sadly didn't find any detail pertaining to the creature itself but it became clear to him that something was going on and that whatever the creature did in the forest must have been some sort of trial run because during their negotiations they were attacked by a coordinated group of monster hellbent on finishing off the escapees of the slaughter and those they captured killed themselves to hold off information. The news was staggering for the audience. They didn't know how to really make heads or tails of it but they understood that something was coming and they should be prepared for that and if possible they should keep a watch on things that's been happening, the class minus one had discussed some more briefly before taking their time leave to go do what they usually do before sleeping.

Interestingly enough unlike usual where ojiro and toru would go together, he was coerced into taking Kirishima into going for some late night training and lifting. The real purpose behind this change was essentially by the request of mina and her still dodging around confronting kirishima herself about this so she convinced toru who managed to convince him to do this. Convincing kirishima to come along with him wasn't very difficult at all but due to how he was and normally acted even someone like kirishima would realize something was up so he opted to cooperate kaminari into the situation mostly because such talk came more natural and less suspicious coming out of is mouth and secondly because he was truly curious in kaminari's martial arts along with mina's if he was being honest but he could see it later on. With kirishima and kaminari in toe the three of them set out to association HQ the first thing that the three of them did was head over to the weight room and lift weights, ojiro was familiar with lifting weights but most of his time spent here he was actually lifting rocks most of the time so having proper weights took a little bit to get back use to but with kirishima's help he managed and the three of them got to work.

After lifting weights the three of them began to do a little sparring to get a good taste of kaminari's martial art he wanted first dibs against the electricity user, the two got into the ring and began their fight, kaminari was the first to engage rushing in with a punch which he diverted but that was his first mistake while the punch didn't land when his hands touched his arm the electricity flowing it through it flowed into him shocked him causing him to be a bit paralyzed allowing kaminari to completely follow up with another attack of his own. The fight essentially became a cat and mouse game of kaminari attacking while ojiro evaded ojiro was faster than him in his base state so he could keep the electricity user mostly off him while finding ways to land some attacks of his own with his tail or his punches and he didn't really need to worry too much about his fatigue as every time he slacked the shocking hit form kaminari would immediately wake him up again, the match ended as it was a timed event of 5 minutes before ojiro allowed kirishima to step into the ring this time.

Unlike with him kirishima's hardening protected him against kaminari's lighting allowing him to simply withstand the electric users attacks and counter with some of his own. It was kaminari on the defensive this time blocking kirishima's hardened strikes with well place static blocks or reversals although getting through the teens hardening was it on set of issues, ojiro was curious in the fact that kirishima was not hardening his entire body during the fight but only the parts which kaminari was about to hit which intrigued him. After another five minutes the match concluded with kirishima clearly in the advantageous position being the victor it was time for the third round with all of them included and kirishima even included added gravity training put the ring up to five times additional gravity he also suggested that they all fought up in their powered up stated but ojiro had to decline because he didn't know if his tail was fully recovered yet and wouldn't want to interrupt the process and kaminari didn't bring out his lighting vials as he called them to enter into his form and he didn't want to get in trouble draining the associations power so they forgone that thought for the moment but ojiro ensured that they will have there time later on.

The free for all was basically one sided in who came out on top, kirishima was more accustomed to gravity training and could handle the effect better than the both of his opponents allowing him an advantage although however it small it maybe after that was done and he was finished gloating the three of them took a break and gave each other a few pointers on things they could improve on.

"You know I'm surprised you asked us out here aren't you usually out this late with toru?" kirishima asked, which ojiro took as a blessing in disguise as he tossed a wink toward kamianri's way.

"Yeah and given that you guys just came out, I wonder what you two were really up to late at night, she didn't seem that upset with you seeing her bare after all." kaminari added on in a teasing tone. Making the tail boy blush furiously but snapback nonetheless.

"I wouldn't talk about how we came out if I were you, you and jiro were trying to suck each other's faces off for like 10 minutes back at that picnic." ojiro taunted back and it was the eclectic time to blush and he was about to respond back with something else until he saw kirishima's face.

"Yo what's up with you?" kaminari asked, kirishima shook his head

"Nothing, just thinking is all…I'm happy for both of you guys." Kirishima said simply

"Hey I'm sure you'll find someone as well, didn't bakugo say you like mina why don't you just ask her out?" kaminari bluntly stated, kirishima's face slightly reddened but his face still grimaced. As he balled his hands over his legs and shook his head.

"Nah she doesn't like me." Kirishima remarked simply, both teens were taken back by how confident he sounded in that statement.

"What makes you so sure? Did you ask her?" ojiro asked

"Not me but Natalie did while we were on our way to the hero shoot and she flat out said no, so I guess I should just cut my losses there." Kirishima said downtrodden looking down at his hands, both kaminari and ojiro briefly shared a glance.

"Well what about that, Mizuki girl, you seemed to be getting along with her well." kaminari suggested and kirishima did slightly perk up at that, letting out a small chuckle but still shaking his head.

"Nah man she's like six years older than me and there is no telling when we could just up and leave the place." Kirishima remarked.

"Doesn't seem like it's stopping sero." ojiro mentioned casually in jest not really suspecting kaminari to actually continue off him.

"Yeah and age is just a number, well actually depends on the age of consent here really, prison maybe just a place but I bet it's an unpleasant one ." Kaminari said with a laugh thinking about a funny meme he saw but to ojiro worry it did have an effect on kirishima like he was possibly thinking of the scenario so he quickly went to change the subject.

"Hey guys how about we go see what's bakugo doing with silver chain." ojiro suggested ad that did the trick as the three of them left off towards the area he suggested they likely be at, ojiro spent the rest of the time texting toru everything they talked about.

Mina was currently in toru's room and has been on the edge of her seat ever since she came up with the plan she didn't expect ojiro to include someone like kaminari in it but she guessed that it should still be ok hopefully depending on how much he actually told the electric blonde about what he was doing and when toru finally go the text, she felt her soul jump from her body she didn't know if she wanted to jack the phone from the girls hands or grabbed the nearest pillow to hide herself so she settled for doing a little of both she grabbed the nearest pillow and got extremely close to the invisible girl so she could peak at the text messages. She read silently as toru read out loud and her heart dropped at the moment she read the text that said that kirishima was sure that mina didn't like him going off a conversation she had with natalie and the memory immediately played in her head and suddenly bakugo's words from the other day began to make sense.

She did a silent yell into the pillow she was holding before repeatedly telling herself how she blew it and messed up but toru put a comforting hand on the pink girls form to calm her down and told her the rest of the messages ojiro sent luckily for her she didn't have to worry about mizuki he didn't think she liked him like that and there relationship was more platonic in nature similar to like estranged siblings although she did leave out the part where ojiro mentioned that kaminari took things a little far and he may have been considering the possibility of them together but that was speculation on his part and the girl was already a little distraught as it was but she did seemed to calm down from that news about mizuki.

"You know, it's surprising that you of all people need to go through all of this, everyone in class picture you as some sort of love guru." Toru said with a small chuckle , Mina smiled for a moment before it was replaced by a frown, followed by a sigh.

"I….I don't really know what love truly is." the pink girl said suddenly and toru smile turned into a perplexed look if she could see it.

"What do you mean? You seem to be a natural at picking up signs and things like that." Toru said. Mina put the pillow down and briefly stretched her upper body like she was ready herself for what she was about to say.

"That's because I've… studied it a lot …books, novels, movies, articles, forums, games even. When you look at so much material it becomes easy to see signs like that." Mina said with a half downtrodden laugh.

"But why?" toru asked perplexed

"Because I'm…..I think I'm Cupioromantic, which means that while I wanted to be in a romantic relationship, I don't feel attracted to people." Mina said, and toru let that information sink in as she mulled over her reply…it took a couple of minutes but Mina understood and let her contemplate.

"Well then why are you like this with kirishima? If you're not attracted to him then hanging around others shouldn't bother you right?" Toru asked and Mina nodded her head.

"It should, right?! I just don't know any more ever since that time we went to the mall, maybe even before that after the war things just started to change for me. That's why I wanted to see how ojiro made you feel.." mina said

"Did you seek a professional opinion or did you just diagnose yourself?" Toru asked and Mina saw where the girl was going with this as she rubbed the back of her neck in embarrassment.

"I may have…diagnosed myself." Mina mumbled, and she was punched in the arm for her reply.

"And there is your problem…feelings are constantly changing especially as we grow older so I don't think it was good for you to do that, just because you didn't like anyone in middle school doesn't mean you don't like people period I'm sure most people can relate to not liking or even going out until high school maybe even later." Toru said.

"But kirishima was in my middle school." mina defended

"And according to you and him he's changed significantly since then so maybe your feelings about him have changed as well." toru explained and Mina sat and thought about how the invisible girl may be right, maybe she was just jumping the gun a bit.

"Besides if you did your research properly you should know love doesn't really have a specific shape or form and that it can manifest differently for everyone." Toru concluded and Mina merely nodded her head with the girl's thought as she began to think.

"Also didn't you say that your preferred guy you wanted to go out with was someone strong, loyal, and occasionally childish? How would that fit in with the whole not attracted thing?" Toru asked and Mina just shook her head.

"I don't know… I do find those qualities great in a guy but…. Aren't those qualities kinda basic that can be applied to pretty much anyone?" Mina questioned

"It could but that doesn't mean it's not bad. You just have an ideal type of person you're looking for and now that I think about it, it does sound a lot like kirishima if you ask me." Toru remarked with a thoughtful gesture.

"Really? But didn't you just agree that those qualities are fairly generic?" Mina countered with some uncertainty.

"I did and they are but in addition to that you said you wanted a guy that followed his own path and that's harder to find especially in a hero school where everyone is inspired or following after someone. And out of all the guys in our class that match all that criteria, Kirishima seems like the best one I could come up with. " toru commented and mina sat in silent contemplation for a moment grabbing a hold of the pillow in her hands and squeezing it even rougher as she buried head into it as she nodded in agreement. The two converse some more before the two girls shared a hug and Mina left back to her own room to think about it herself some more.

Bakugo had left earlier than usual to his typical training zone he didn't like how the fight with that shark went down he still relied on mostly todoroki to deal most of the damage until he could finish the creature off while he has reduced the gap between the two of them to just about him being only 50% ahead of him in terms of their initial number compared to his nearly 3 times start he felt he was making at least some good progress which meant he didn't want to wait and keep on improving as quickly as possible in comparison to midoriya he still had a huge mountain to climb. Bakugo was practicing most of his skilled in the mountain area and nearly blew up all of the rocks present before he had to leave and wait for the place to reset itself supposedly the drones are using the leftover ruble from what was left of the city to repopulate the area which he would say was a good use of resources if it wasn't for the constant remainder of a whole entire city of people disappearing.

Bakugo was just returning to the facility to find silverchain already there waiting for him unsurprisingly she had been spying on him for a while he was here before and suggested they call off their training session due to his damaged right shoulder, indicating while she was observing notice some subtle changes in his movements due to the injury most likely when bakugo questioned how she knew. Despite that fact bakugo still wanted to train thinking that she thrown off their training for enough already, silver chain simply nodded her head at his determination before he was knocked unconscious when he first came to he imagined that he would be back in his home but he was still in the training area with silver chain hovering above him, he questioned why did she knock him out and she simply responded that she healed his shoulder fully and as he tested it she wasn't kidding it was as good as new.

"Let me guess, you can't show how you did that so you knocked me out instead." bakugo stated, before realizing something else

"That was the only thing you did right?" bakugo had been a bit on edge ever since she asked him for a biological sample. He didn't feel completely safe falling unconscious around her but maybe he was just being paranoid.

"Indeed a safety precaution if you will and no I simply fixed your shoulder, but a question if I may." bakugo nods in approval for her to keep going.

"Why do you seek to become stronger?" silver chain asked simply before sitting down in a mediating form bakugo joined next to her, thinking about what he should say.

"Because I want to be number 1." was bakugo most immediate reply.

" Is that all?" silver chain said, bakugo grimaced but reiterated.

"mostly ….there someone I need to catch up to… and there is a failure I need to correct." bakugo said more cryptically his first comment going to midoriya and all might and the second comment referring to their battle with shigaraki and how he was completely useless as he was even while shigaraki was in his incomplete state he couldn't imagine that monster at 100%. Bakugo expected her to say something or dig for more information but she didn't only recognizing his comment before silence settled among them for a moment.

"What about you? Why are you so strong? `` Bakugo asked the girl, flipping the question on the girl.

"I seek strength to kill an important target." The girl said simply bakugo wasn't really surprised by that type of answer and when he thought they were the same in that regard he was surprised by the terms used in her language.

"Seek? So you're not strong enough to kill your target as you are now?" bakugo asked.

"No." silver chain said short and simple her voice that was inert and flat for the most part came in with a underlying degree of anger, bakugo thought back to what he said to ojiro and training with a weaker opponent and actually started to feel bad and think he was holding her back from her goal while selfishly trying to achieve his and almost as if she could read his mind she spoke again.

"My target is not a time-sensitive mission, it has stagnated in its ignorance which will be its downfall. I can afford to train with you for the time being, the clan demands it of me regardless." silver chain said plainly.

"I see….thank you." bakugo remarked in a low tone as silence settled over them once again.

After another few minutes of mediation something that she insisted the bakugo go through to clear his head and not let his emotions overcome him in combat the two began their training bakugo, would traditionally go through a number of exercise that revolved around him not using his quirk for the first half of their practice before transitioning into quirk training later on, she would test bakugo both mentally and physically with no breaks in between each exercise just to improve the teens endurance it would also help in him storing up sweat for the ensuing sparring matches they would have just like the regular practice it would be separated into two section one where he couldn't use his quirk and one where he could. he would obviously do better when he could use his quirk but just like the cyborg they didn't want him to become too dependent on it, she likened his explosions to her clones while they supplement her battle power greatly it wasn't something she would rely on to win the battle.

Bakugo had just been tossed end over end into a rock structure when he heard laughter start to imminent from the doorway not just any laughter he knew who those were and his eyes blitz open as he righted himself. it was the eclectic idiot and the rock idiot along with dumb tail man he guessed since they knew about them already silver chain didn't knock them out on approach like she usually would, she did however confiscate kamianri's phone which he was staring to record with and told the boy that recording was prohibited making kaminari pout at that, bakugo didn't like the audience but silver chain took the opportunity to use it as chance to continue to train him mentally asking the three guys to constantly berate bakugo while he was fighting of course this went as well as expected he gave up constant hits due to yelling back or turning his attention away although he would say that he wouldn't be able to dodge or block those attacks either way. Things came to a head where bakugo was going to say screw the training and attack the bystanders right then and their but silver chain stopped him hitting him in the gut so hard that he dropped unconscious their training session was over and she handed him off to his friends before vanishing again out of sight. Kaminari began to laugh at bakugo misfortune but also received the same treatment as well, making the two remaining drag their friends back to their rooms so they could all just sleep off the rest of their night.

Alright here is the structure of the Paths to give more insight before you make a choice. your choices has consequences!

Good Path: 1A stays until just after the MA raid important note that the MA raid in this path follows more of the webcomic continuity of events(as in no god stuff essentially everything else basically remains) , will include the final battle of the heroes and villains' in MHA

Neutral Path: this is the current path, the 1A teens leave before the MA raid... this path includes the 1A civil war , 1A vs saitama, and raid on metal knight(1A+ vs metal knight), 1A vs midoriya round 2 . this path has the teens at their "normal" strongest in comparison to the others.

Bad path: The 1A teens stay until after the psycho sister arc actually, important note that the MA raid here follows more of the manga continuity, No none of the Teens die, well not permanently anyways.

So vote in the poll on my profile your choice!

for those that don't have an account feel free to just give your vote in your review!

I'll need at least 10 responses to consider changing the path.(just in general not 10 people choosing a path so like if 5 people said good 3 said bad and another 2 said neutral I'll still change the path to good, voting ends on Christmas! )

Edit: paths don't effect the length of the story to much if I can help it that is, to that end there are time skips, so for the bad path for example you get a very brief month 3 and skip month over month 4 entirely to get to the raid, the good path same a brief month 3 and brief month 4
