bopdog111: Well last one was certainly a doozy.
Ulrich362: You can say that again, things are getting... interesting?
bopdog111: Yeah with Bakugo awakening, Toru being trained by All Might, and Izuku with Tetsuo are training with there Personas. Well let's get back to see what's going on with the Kirijos, and there classmates. Maybe even meeting some new interesting characters, and this small arc's main antagonist.
Ulrich362: Sounds like a plan to me, enjoy the chapter.

"Okay Toga, here you are."
It was become school begins where Izuku, and Tetsuo both handed blood packs for Toga at the gate for her to have so she can keep her blood dietary in check with Skyla, and Momo informing them they'll give her there bags when they get a chance. Momo told her parents about what happened, and helped with the suing case of Toga's parents, and now there being cared for by the Yaoyorozus until Toga is old enough to take care of her siblings herself as their guardian. They spent a great time at Momo's house having cared for the siblings needs, making toys they want while Toga made sure not to make them overendulge.
Now after the weekend they headed back to school where the two were giving blood packs to Toga.
"Thanks... you really don't mind doing this?" she asked them uncertainly.
"Not at all." Izuku smiled over to her. "And when your ready, I want to ask you some questions, and theories about your Quirk."
"Huh... well sure maybe we can talk during lunch?" Toga suggested.
"Sure you can talk as much as you want." Tetsuo smiled over towards Toga. "Just to say Izuku loves to study Quirks. It's a big hobby of his."
"Oh... well mine might not be good to study." Toga frowned.
Izuku shook his head hearing that. "No nonsense. All Quirks are great, most people don't appreciate them, and see the kind of potential there worth. If some of my theories work then maybe you can do more then just go on espionage missions."
Toga blinked before blushing a bit. "You... you really think I could do that?"
Izuku nodded with a smile as they walked in together while Tetsuo smiled over before following in with them. They followed under a busy day at school where they studied, and handle each other while Skyla, and Momo go over Student Council Duties. When lunchtime roamed around, Izuku asked Toga sorts of questions, and theories he have which Toga answered to the best of ability such as the following:
Does she use the Quirks of those she drinks? Potentially but she hasn't thought of it.
Can she transform into animals? She never tried.
Her blood becomes the same as the ones she eats? Yes.
Does she gain the same physical strength of who she eats like All Might? No.
All sorts of questions, and theories in mind for her Quirk to be in use for hero work while Momo, Skyla, Tetsuo, and Iida watched on with soft smiles seeing Toga is bettering along well while Kyoka, and Pony looked a bit confused over it. Overall they are that someone handled so badly like Toga is getting the help she needs. And of course something else happened over at the school. They were walking to class while chatting over before hearing something turning over seeing someone dressed in a stage magician uniform with a mask was performing magic tricks over at everyone with cards, and juggling.
"Huh, who's that?" Tetsuo asked Skyla.
"That's Atsuhiro Sako." Skyla answered over with a shake of her head with a small smile. "He comes here from time to time, and likes to show off his tricks. He's also a Phantom Thief," Tetsuo, and Izuku's eyes widen. "not the Phantom Thieves of Hearts kind of deal just one that steals from the rich. He performs tricks over when he's not stealing so we don't really have a problem with him as long as he doesn't think of doing any theft around here."
"Alright who's next for this new trick? Can I get a volunteer?" Atsuhiro called over with some cards in between his hands looking over with spread arms looking around. Soon he spotted Tetsuo in the crowd. "Hey you there frizzy hair!"
"Huh, me?" Tetsuo asked before walking over to him.
"Yes of course, young man." Atsuhiro twirled, and knelled down in a polite bow over to him. "For I think you can be my volunteer for this next trick. Mind if I get your name?"
"Tetsuo Kirijo." Tetsuo answered.
"Well Tetsuo this will be the most spectacular trick of the lifetime for our cooperation together!" Atsuhiro raised up twirling more with spread arms allowing Tetsuo to see he's wearing a black, and red robe like dress suit with a white mask, and a back top hat having a feather with brown gloves, and sneakers. "For you see, I will make you disappear with my Quirk. No worries young man this won't harm you at all, it'll be weird but no harm shall fall before ya."
Tetsuo looked at him curiously before nodding. "Well ok, that could be fun."
"Okay then, trick time!" Atsuhiro at that moved softly grabbing Tetsuo's waist, and hoist him into the air with a long jump. Jumping up he did a professional twirl reaching his hand. "Compress!" He reached his hand touching Tetsuo's shoulder before the shock of everyone Tetsuo vanished in a glow as Atsuhiro did a vertical front flip landing on the ground on his feet crouched but raised up twirling in a pose while holding a marble in between his hands which when he did a hand trick vanished.
"That's amazing, what did you do to Tetsuo?" Izuku asked in shock taking a journal out of seemingly nowhere. "Does your quirk have something to do with that marble, are you able to teleport people or..."
"Ah ah ah." Atsuhiro interrupted him with a wagged finger. "A magician never reveals his secrets."
"Says the guy who's Quirk can compress anything into marbles." Skyla admitted with a small smile shaking her head sighing.
"Alright now children, now look into your pants." Atsuhiro did a hand motion for another trick with a gesture.
Toga's eyes widened at that. "No, you creepy pervert!"
"Wha-N-No no not like that!" Atsuhiro defended himself over. "I'm a gentleman, I'd never do such a thing towards you young women."
"Toga he means we check our pockets." Skyla clarified over to Toga.
She was still blushing as she checked her pockets. "Well he could have been clearer."
They all checked over before Skyla blinked pulling out a marble like the one Atsuhiro had before in his fingers.
"Huh, when did you put that there?" Izuku asked curiously. "Wait, is this part of his quirk too? That's incredible... is there any limit to what you can turn into a marble... is Tetsuo safe?"
"Well young lady, you've have the little guy." Atsuhiro chuckled over to Skyla giving a snap of his fingers where the marble glowed after the light vanished Tetsuo was standing in front of Skyla blinking a bit surprised.
"Wait, but then what are you holding?" Toga asked him.
"Magician." Atsuhiro reminded he done some magic tricks to have the marble into Skyla's pocket. "And you know those two are lucky."
"Why?" Was Pony's confused question.
"Well this trick suppose to be where whoever had the marble is where there destinies are intertwined." Atsuhiro revealed over with a bow. "Take a look at the young birds, there holding hands."
Everyone looked over while Tetsuo, and Skyla looked down at there hands which shows they are indeed holding each others hands. They both blushed at that but didn't let go.
"Haha." Atsuhiro walked over looking at Tetsuo. "Well, well young man you really are quite the lad. I'd be glad if you can assist me out in further shows, I could use a nice assistant." Taking out a card from a trick he hands it to Tetsuo. "Here's my card." Tetsuo takes it looking at it before Atsuhiro tips his hat. "Be seeing you." He twirled as light build around him. "Compress!" Then he vanished with no marble in sight after that.
"Does he show up often?" Toga asked turning to Momo. "He's... a little eccentric."
"Sometimes." Momo admitted over to her. "He's a skilled stage magician so I don't doubt his skills since the principal allows him to preform shows here. In fact, this is the first time I ever heard he's looking for an assistant. Maybe for more stage shows or even his Phantom Thief heists?"
"I don't think I'll be working with him." Tetsuo admitted only for a bell to ring as his eyes widened. "We're late to class!"
Widening there eyes they walked to hurry to class.
Soon the class day ends where they walked out of the school together discussing about the day they had chatting together more before a young voice broke out. "Mommy!"
Hearing that they all turned to the voice.
Someone was running over before it collided with Skyla. Blinking they turned seeing a young girl looking about 3 or 2 years old was hugging Skyla with a hair color like hers wearing a small yellow dress with smiley faces her size.
"You have a sister?" Tetsuo asked with a smile before kneeling down to the girl. "Hi, it's nice to meet you. I'm Tetsuo... Skyla's friend."
The girl looked over to him where unlike Skyla she has green eyes which she softly hid behind Skyla shy. "Mommy... who's this?"
"This is Tetsuo, he's the boy who saved me when the heroes weren't doing anything." Skyla explained with a smile. "The superhero you wanted to meet."
Tetsuo, and Izuku blinked before their eyes widen as Tetsuo raised up staring at Skyla shocked. "Wait Skyla?" She turned over to him seeing his stunned look. "She's... she's your daughter?"
"Well... biologically speaking yes." Skyla answered over softly rubbing the girl's head. "This is my daughter Violet Nakamura." She then smiled to the girl noticing how shy she looks. "Come on Vi, say hi to your hero."
She blinked before blushing. "He... hello."
Skyla softly giggled from this couldn't help teasing. "What are you so shy for?"
Violet blushed more hiding her face in Skyla's pants which made her giggle more from this. "Skyla?" Turning over she sees Tetsuo still looking shocked. "So... your a teen mom?"
"Well... yes. I can explain though..." Skyla promised over trying to explain.
"Oh there you are Vi." they looked seeing a blonde woman wearing a doctor uniform walking over with a tired but happy smile. "What did we talk about you running off by yourself young lady?"
"I saw mommy." Violet pouted hugging Skyla's leg.
"I know." the woman smiled over before looking at Skyla. "Well Vi sure loves her mother doesn't she Skyla?"
"Yes she has mom."
Hearing that Tetsuo widen his eyes looking at the woman. "Wait a sec..." The woman looked over before Tetsuo asked over to her. "Nurse Nakamura is that you?"
"It's been a long time Tetsuo." she smiled. "How have you been? I heard about the... incidents with two court appearances."
"They been... great."
"Well by the way it's DOCTOR Nakamura now." Nakamura smiled over with a wink. "Put to a higher area after what happened with those morons earlier."
"Oh sorry doctor." Tetsuo apologized bowing down politely before raising up. "How have you been?"
"I've been doing well." Nakamura smiled. "Actually, I got a recommendation for my position by two very talented doctors."
"Which doctors?" Izuku asked.
"Doctor Uehara, and Dr. Takemi." she smiled.
Tetsuo smiled hearing that nodding. "They earned there time as doctors, and I'm glad to find that in you too... So... about Violet being..." He gestured over to the young girl.
"Ah yes... Well Violet is Skyla's daughter by blood." Nakamura confirmed over. "Come on we will chat over at where the Kirijos are staying if you will have us."
Since today isn't a training day, Tetsuo, and Izuku don't have any problems, and they are curious over what had happened between Skye, and Violet so they agreed to let them come along while Tetsuo texted Mitsuru. While this happened though, they received a message from Snipe.
Meanwhile...
While Mitsuru is chatting with Aigis about something regarding the training Kikuno walked in looking really worried. "M-Miss Kirijo?"
"Kikuno, what is it?" Mitsuru frowned seeing that knowing that if she was worried it had to be important since Kikuno helped during the P1 Grand Prix incident.
"Well... Snipe had just messaged us from Rozaryu Middle School where Bakugo is suppose to attend over." Kikuno began to explain. "A student from there named Mizu Kirishima... she somehow had..."
Listening Mitsuru frowned. "How is that possible?"
"Somehow had what?" Aigis asked Kikuno confused over.
"One... one of our prototype Shadow Orbs."
Aigis's eyes widened. "Were there any injuries?"
"No... only thing was that... Bakugo had the potential." Kikuno revealed.
"Bakugo had the potential?" Mitsuru asked curiously. "I see."
"Nezu is already there at the scene, and informed Bakugo he excused this since he saved a student from suicide." Kikuno informed over further towards them. "He said that Bakugo has one more chance over this time without his Quirk or his Persona."
Mitsuru nodded only to blink as her phone buzzed and she took it out.
TETSUO: Hey mom, today isn't a training day, and we encountered Skyla, and Doctor Nakamura along with someone else. We're all heading over to chat about something important. See you at home.
Mitsuru looked before closing her eyes.
MITSURU: Alright, but when you get here we need to talk with you and Midoriya.
TETSUO: K, will do. *thumbs up emoji*
"Who texted?" Aigis asked over.
"Tetsuo, apparently Skyla and her mother will be coming over along with someone else... though we need to inform them about the situation with Bakugo." Mitsuru replied before sighing and rubbing her head before dialing a number and waiting for the person to answer. "Fuuka, you're free tonight correct?"
"Yes, I am Mitsuru. Is something the matter?"
Mitsuru closed her eyes before explaining about Mizu Kirishima having a prototype Shadow Orb, and Bakugo's awakening.
"... I have a feeling I'm going to need to just spend some time with my wife to get my mind of everything... it doesn't help that we still don't know what Igor getting in touch with our son means... nothing strange has happened so far."
Fuuka was silent to absorb what she had heard over before she responded over towards Mitsuru. "Okay, I'm heading home now."
"Thank you." Mitsuru nodded only to smile gently. "I love you."
"I love you two." Fuuka hanged up after saying that where Mitsuru lowered her phone looking at her reflection in the mirror sighing softly from this before feeling a hand on her shoulder looking to see Kikuno was with her with a soft smile.
She closed her eyes at that. "Sometimes I have to wonder how I got so lucky."
"It's really all that happened with young Arisato-san that made you, and Miss Fuuka realize your with each other." Kikuno gently said over to her.
Mitsuru smiled as she closed her eyes recalling the day she and Fuuka started to date.
Later...
"Mom? We're back." Tetsuo called walking in with Izuku, Skyla, Dr. Nakamura, and Violet.
"Good to see your home safe." Fuuka who had arrived waiting smiled before smiling more at Skyla, and Dr. Nakamura. "Skyla, Nakamura-san it's been a while."
"Yeah it has, how have you been Mrs. Kirijo?" Skyla asked with polite smile.
"I've been doing great, and please call me Fuuka." Fuuka smiled before noticing Violet in Skyla's arms. "Oh who is this?"
"This... is my daughter Violet." Skyla smiled.
"Daughter?" Fuuka's eyes widen in shock hearing that.
"Yeah... we are gonna talk about that with you, and mom." Tetsuo explained over to Fuuka. "You don't mind do you Mamagishi?"
"Oh... of course not. Would you like anything to drink Violet? We might have some apple juice." Fuuka offered.
Violet shyly nodded as they walked over to the kitchen where Inko, and Kikuno were cooking together while Mitsuru was waiting only for her to turn over noticing the group entering the kitchen.
"It's been a long time Dr. Nakamura, how have you been?" Mitsuru asked her calmly.
"I've been great thank you for asking. After adopting Skyla we been great daughter, and mother." Dr. Nakamura smiled over to Mitsuru. "I hadn't heard from you all in a while but recently was during the lawsuit with Aldera where Tetsuo was involved. He's still reckless like usual I see."
"What's that suppose to mean?" Tetsuo asked with a small pout.
"Oh nothing, just running into a burning building without a quirk." Dr. Nakamura pointed out. "I'm still grateful you did that though."
"Well, I would love to catch up but I need to speak with Tetsuo and Midoriya, so can we have a few minutes? We'll be right back." Mitsuru told her calmly.
"Sure no problem." Dr. Nakamura nodded softly taking Skyla, and Violet with her to give them a few minutes.
Izuku turned over to Mitsuru confused. "Tetsuo did say there is something important you need to talk to us about. Did something happen?"
"There was an incident at Rozaryu Middle School, where Katsuki Bakugo decided to attend." Mitsuru explained closing her eyes.
"Something happened to Kacchan, is he ok?" Izuku asked nervously since he was concerned for one of his best friends especially after what he already went through.
"Yes, Bakugo-san is fine however a student by the name of Mizu Kirishima was in possession of a Shadow Orb and utilized it at school." Aigis told them.
"What?" Tetsuo was shocked from hearing that something the Kirijo Group is developing for training purposes had somehow been given to a student at where Bakugo's school is at. "Is Bakugo alright? Was the situation of the orb handled?"
"That's the other thing we needed to talk with you about, you're familiar that only a Persona User can combat the Shadows?" Fuuka asked as Izuku and Tetsuo both nodded. "Well, Bakugo awoke to a Persona."
"What?" the two asked shocked hearing that stunned that Bakugo had the potential for a Persona.
"It's true, which means we may need to speak with his family again." Mitsuru sighed before smiling. "That being said, Golden Week is coming up soon."
"Golden week?" Izuku asked confused with a blink.
"You know, a week off from school due to the holidays?" Fuuka mentioned.
"Oh yeah... I've been so focused over school, and whatever it has been going on it slipped my mind." Izuku admitted that numerous things such as studying Quirks, getting to know his classmates, studying for school, and training his Persona that made him forgot Golden Week is just around the corner. "Along with seeing Atsuhiro at the school..."
"That's understandable, but due to recent developments and your progress with your training... I think we should spend it at Yakushima... and invite Bakugo as well, if he's able and willing to join us to discuss his Persona abilities and let us help him."
"Yakushima?" Tetsuo asked blinking. "Are you sure we should move there, it's more of a beach resort home."
"What better place for a small vacation than the beach?" Aigis asked as Tetsuo realized Mitsuru meant they could go there for Golden Week.
"Oh."
"I never thought I'd get a chance for Yakushima." Inko admitted with a small smile. During the time they were spending together, Inko is getting a healthier figure slowly loosing weight going to the gym so she's slowly getting back to her figure she had when Izuku was younger. Slow but making progress. "In fact, I haven't went to a beach in years."
"I'm sure you'll love it." Fuuka smiled. "Oh, but we should get back to our guests."
They nodded from this which Kikuno allowed them back in which Dr. Nakamura, Skyla, and Violet sat down with the young girl in Skyla's lap.
"I figure you haven't met." Skyla smiled over to Kikuno, and Inko. "I'm Skyla Nakamura."
"It's nice to meet you Skyla." Inko smiled. "My name's Inko Midoriya, Izuku's mother."
"And I'm the Kirijo's maid. Kikuno." Kikuno greeted over with her smile.
Skyla nodded before rubbing Violet's head. "And this... this is my little girl, Violet."
"Oh, your sister is..." Inko started before pausing. "Wait, your little girl?"
"Do you want to talk about what happened?" Mitsuru asked her softly. "We would understand if you didn't."
Skyla looked down with a small sad smile before looking up. "Well... there not the happiest but I do want to share over."
Tetsuo took her hand gently and smiled. "It'll be ok."
Skyla smiled back before closing her eyes explaining it over.
Sometime after Skyla, and Tetsuo were adopted, and they moved Skyla, and Nurse Nakamura had been busy caring for each other since Nurse Nakamura had to work real hard to earn enough money for them both but under the reputation as a single mother of an adopted child who has a 'villainous quirk' she didn't really get a lot of fair treatment. Other times, people tell her to abandon Skyla since she'll grow as a 'villain' in the future which Nurse Nakamura refused too do.
Skyla meanwhile had a hard time herself cause on her first day of school when asked about her Quirk she under child naivety explained what it was, and the teachers called her a villain, and told the students not to interact with future villains. So she had been really lonely, and sad from the treatment she had been receiving. No-one grown enough courage to bully her though as they didn't want to risk Skyla killing them with her assassin like Quirk even though it really wouldn't. Her only friend was a purple haired, bag-eyed boy named Hitoshi Shinsho who had a Brainwashing Quirk so he knows what she going through.
But later she had met someone at the start of her first year of Middle School. A young man who has a quirk that specializes over medical related problems where he can generate any medical related items such as First Aid Kits, Gauze Tape, or any of the sort where he wants to grow up as a doctor in the future. Skyla hesitated to tell him her Quirk so she didn't tell them but later when he founded out he was mad sure but he promises Skyla she won't be alone.
Halfway into the year they learned about sex-ed, and being best friends (and cause Hitoshi didn't want to get involved from being embarrassed about the topic) she with her friend who stick with her at her place, they explored over each other's bodies curiously over it, and after that day Skyla started puking. When Nurse Nakamura checked her over she confirmed she's pregnant, and said she wasn't angry just disappointed that Skyla is pregnant at a young age saying she 'fucked up' but she will support her.
So Skyla softly break the news to her partner the next day after that when they were alone. He stayed silent before he began threatening her ordering her not to tell anyone or else his reputation about his status will be ruined as he will become a great doctor, and he can't waste time with 'spawn of a villain' as he had called his child. So heartbroken she ran, and encountered Hitoshi who was startled from her crying, and being explained he understandably was very pissed off at Skyla's partner not taking responsibility.
Hitoshi headed over where he was, and used his Quirk to make him confess over while keeping Skyla's name out (and also keeping himself hidden to prevent being called out). This ruined the guy's status, and certainly gotten back at him. But after hearing it, Nurse Nakamura decided to move back to Musutafu after a small promotion with the two mentioned doctors who seen the potential she had figuring Skyla be better back home while keeping tabs with Hitoshi. The school later gotten exposed from this action so there's ain't a need to worry.
Skyla had met with Iida, and Momo after enrolling at Somei, and they both promised to assist her with Skyla studying hard, and became Student Council President to become a great hero so no other people experience what she had went through. A few months later, Violet was born where Hitoshi himself had came to help her with her going in labor, and they were both stunned from one look at Violet. Skyla was so happy she called her, her angel when she laid eyes on her, and Hitoshi wiped his eyes to keep himself from crying.
Hitoshi reluctantly became Violet's 'uncle' helping Skyla care for Violet when he has time to visit juggling with Momo to care for Violet. Skyla sometimes wonder if she can really care for Violet but after a look at her daughter she kept reminding herself it was 'so worth it', and with Nurse or Doctor Nakamura they took care of Violet to this day.
"...And that is the story." Skyla had her eyes closed with tears like waterfalls down her cheeks having a smile after she finished.
Everyone was quiet for a while before Tetsuo embraced Skyla close. "That... I'm so sorry Skyla... I'm so sorry..."
Skyla leaned into his embrace from this with closed eyes while Violet hugged her deep.
"It sounds like Hitoshi really cares about you, I hope he can become a great hero too." Izuku admitted.
"I hope he does too... he's more doing it for spite." Skyla admitted over looking down towards Violet. "People are so mean so Hitoshi wanted to show that someone with a 'villain's Quirk' like him can be a hero as a way to tell them to shove it."
"If what he did for you is any clue he'll be a fine hero." Mitsuru smiled only to close her eyes.
Tetsuo stared before he looked over. "Mom? Is it possible for them, and Hitoshi to head to Yakushima with us?" Doctor Nakamura blinked while Skyla widen her eyes, and Violet just stared confused.
"Yakushima?" Skyla asked shocked.
"You know it?" Fuuka asked curiously.
"Well yeah, it's a beach resort!" Skyla answered shocked.
"True, so will you be joining us?" Mitsuru asked with a smile.
Skyla stared before she smiled looking down to her daughter. "Vi?" She looked over towards her mother. "Do you want to go to the beach honey?"
"Yeah." she smiled happily. "I love the beach mommy."
"Then if our friends from school, and Hitoshi come with us then I got no problems." Skyla looked at the two Kirijo Matriarchs with a smile.
"That's quite a few people, but I'll see what I can do." Mitsuru smiled.
"Then I guess we're heading to the beach then." Dr. Nakamura smiled from this. "Oh because I never gave it out my name is Saki. Saki Nakamura. Hearing my friends call me Doctor Nakamura instead of my name sounds really odd to me."
"I think it's a wonderful name." Inko smiled.
"Well I guess I'll message the Bakugos about this then?" Kikuno asked Mitsuru who nodded before the young woman walked off to make a call.
Meanwhile...
Bakugo after a day of school entered home sighing exhaustedly.
"Afternoon Katsuki." his father Masaru smiled over towards his son looking at the newspaper. "How was school today?"
"Same as ever dad."
"Great." Pleased that Katsuki's responses have quieted instead of yelling all day Masaru smiled over knowing the sessions, and different locations is working out. "Actually Katsuki there is something me, you, and your mother need to discuss about."
"What is it? I have homework to do." Bakugo sighed before groaning and rubbing his head.
"We actually gotten a call from the Kirijos about what happened yesterday." Masaru explained over to him. "I'd assumed it was due to you unlocking a Persona which was a part of it but it was something else."
"Something else?" Bakugo asked. "What now?"
"There inviting us over to Yakushima for Golden Week." Mitsuki walked in with a large platter of Mapo Tofu setting it on the table. Like her son, Mitsuki herself had been seeing Hound Dog to cool down her explosive personality which worked to while she still looses her temper at times she has better control over it. She still calls Katsuki brat, and he still calls her bag but there now at affection for each other rather then insults.
"Yakushima... well I guess that could work." Bakugo mentioned. "It's been a while since I've gotten to swim in an ocean and it could definitely help with my quirk to cool off."
"Why don't you invite your two friends? Both Isogai, and even that sweet girl you been with?" Mitsuki suggested with a teasing tone at the mention of Ochako.
"No way!" Bakugo snapped. "They probably already have enough people going... I'm an exception and you two just get a free beach trip."
"Well-" Masaru cleared his throat. "Teasing aside... I think this experience be good for your two friends. Isogai meets with people who know he isn't the person his uncle was, and Ochako can meet with people who can help her with her parent's business. And Kikuno told me that we can bring people also. Money is no issue for the Kirijos or us."
Bakugo frowned. "Fine, I'll message round cheeks."
Walking up to his room he took out his phone.
BAKUGO: Hey Round Cheeks, do you have a minute?
OCHAKO: Yeah just taking a break from my homework. What's up Katz?
BAKUGO: My family got an invitation to Yakushima for Golden Week, are you and that extra with the computer quirk free?
OCHAKO: Yakushima!? Oh, give me a second!
She's probably already running to her parents about the invitation. Bakugo sighed at that but couldn't help but grin. "I can see it now, she's probably telling them all about the trip and how it's not going to cost anything so she'll be able to go and..."
Suddenly he paused and blushed slightly at the idea of her in a bikini but he shook his head. After a minute he gotten a text checking over.
OCHAKO: Okay my parents said they can't join but they said I can go! I already messaged Isogai, and he's coming along too! When is it?
BAKUGO: Golden Week.
OCHAKO: Got it, I'll head over to your place with Isogai in tow when it starts! Thanks Katz!
BAKUGO: Yeah, whatever... oh, actually one thing do you remember the two I told you about?
OCHAKO: Tetsuo, and Izuku right? Their gonna be there?
BAKUGO: Yeah, probably... well I have work to do so I'll see you tomorrow for our practice... night Round Cheeks.
OCHAKO: Night!
Before he can put his phone down he received another text checking over.
ISOGAI: Hey, uh, I heard from Uraraka-san, that your inviting us over to Yakushima. So uh thanks for the invite, I'll be sure to be ready by the time Golden Week comes. I needed to get out of my house anyway so I won't stay inside my entire school year.
BAKUGO: Don't mention it.
ISOGAI: So... thanks, and goodnight. Looking forward for Golden Week.
With that Bakugo places down his phone heading down where his parents were waiting on eating for him as they turned over as Masaru smiled over to Bakugo. "Well Katsuki, what did they say?"
"They're both going to be there." Bakugo answered closing his eyes.
"Great."
"Yeah, I wonder how your lady friend will look for you huh?" In Bakugo's honest words he probably take his mother's old explosive personality rather then this sudden teasing one she began to take.
He groaned at that. "Great."
She only laughed over from this while Masaru sighed with a knowing smile.
Meanwhile...
"And... about... got... it!" Toru pushed a large rusted fridge off the beach with thick rubber gloves on to keep from contracting anything dangerous while Mina, and Toshinori were watching while Mina got some work done herself to build her figure a bit but mostly let Toru do the work where Toru let out a loud sigh. "Alright... it's off."
"You did awesome Toru." Mina smiled.
"Indeed young Toru. With your invisibility being your only perk, your strength didn't increase. However, you managed to prove you can still be strong. In just a few months since we started, you already got about half this beach done." Toshinori looked proud as he sees the kind of dent that Toru is working over within training to where if she keeps this up she would manage to make it in cleaning before they head to U.A. "How you feeling now?"
"Well... tired mostly... no yeah all tired." In truth Toru didn't feel accomplishment that she has another half of the beach which take several more months to do so yeah she's quite exhausted over it, and Mina been making sure her best friend doesn't collapse from exhaustion cause from seeing Toshinori's training, he focuses over pushing her past her limits so much she'll collapse so Mina is making sure that doesn't happen. She then let out a loud sigh. "Is this really going to help me?"
"The All American Dream Plan helps you go over your limits so that you can take One For All." Toshinori said over wisely to her. "It helps prepare your body so that it can properly contain the power that it holds. You know what it says about heroes? 'With great power, comes great responsibility'. So you can use this power to be the hero you want to be, and help the age. Besides with this injury I have, my time as the Symbol of Peace is probably gonna end nearby. So I want to make sure you be ready to carry One For All by the time that happens."
"I know." Toru sighed before getting up. "Well... I might as well do a little more before I stop."
"I'll be here for you like always Toru."
"Thanks Mina... though I hate you be here for me instead of doing what your doing with Kirishima." Toru admitted over towards Mina who blinked. "I mean... you are seeing each other right?"
"Well we're only friends..."
Toshinori sighed shaking his head which they looked over confused where Mina asked him confused. "Did we say something?"
"Hm? Oh, no, no it's nothing like that." Toshinori admitted over so that they wouldn't get the wrong idea about it. "I just... never had anyone as close like some people."
"Really, that's surprising." Toru admitted.
"Well... carrying One For All, and being the Symbol of Peace can make you a target to a bunch of really nasty villains." Toshinori admitted over to them. "And odds are there will be some who will see the people you be with, and use them to there advantage. So I never married, been in a relationship, or had children just to not make them targets. I guess it was cause of that my health like this has been like what your seeing."
Now that they think about it, Toshinori had always been saving people never caring about himself since he had been reminded of the definition of a hero by Toru's actions that day. He also coughs blood at times which could also mean how far he pushing himself so that everyone can rest easy, and that he never been in a close relationship so that he wouldn't pin targets on there backs for there sake rather then his own. They know this is killing him (figuratively and physically) from his declining health since his injury, and such.
"Well, maybe after this you'll find someone?" Mina suggested.
"The work of a hero is never done..."
Toru frowned over. "Toshi, you can't keep doing this though... that injury is making you weaker."
"I know. But it's all so others can be safe."
"Then let us be with you." He turned over towards her who softly nodded. "Your training me as your successor so you don't need to go through this alone. Your health is important, your not good to anyone if you collapse or One For All fails before my training is complete." Toshinori gave a small flinch hearing that looking down from the thought. "I mean, the world needs it's Symbol of Peace... you need to take better care of yourself."
Closing his eyes he sighed thoughtfully as he looked up at the moon.
"Yeah... Toru's right. Maybe you can head to her place?" Mina suggested over. "Her mother is amazing so she'll make your worries go."
"Well... I don't know."
"Just give it some thought at least. Please?" Toru requested over.
"I'll think it over." he relented.
They nodded looking up at the sky with him just watching the moon in the night sky over this peaceful evening.
The day before Golden Week...
Tetsuo, Izuku, and Skyla all had chatted with there friends over the trip to Yakushima where they agreed to go. Momo by herself, Iida and his brother Tensei or Ingenium, Toga and her siblings, Kyoka by herself, and Pony by herself all agreed to go with them. Skyla had called Hitoshi, and he slowly agreed to head over after Violet begged over with cute eyes that he can't resist.
Mitsuru, and Fuuka asked the three Persona teams, and they also agreed after finding time with some others to come along. Right now Tetsuo was shopping for something bumping into someone. "Sorry-" He froze seeing shrunk pupil eyes under the hood of someone a little taller then him was staring as he walked off. He stared off seeing this. "Weird..." He shrugged turning back finding a pair of trunks with the others only for them to hear cheering. Confused at that they looked over to see what the cheering was for.
It was Atsuhiro again waving performing magic tricks.
"Oh, Atsuhiro." Tetsuo smiled. "I wonder what kind of trick he's doing this time."
"You know him?" Junpei asked him over confused.
"He did a show at school the day we met Violet." Tetsuo explained. "He's a magician and his quirk... well I don't think I should spoil it."
"Do you still have his card Tetsuo?" Izuku asked him recalling that Atsuhiro given him his card.
"Yeah, it's right here." Tetsuo nodded taking out the card.
"Ah-ha, your here!"
They turned where Atsuhiro performed a 2 foot vertical jump forward landing in front of the group bowing to a knee. "Tetsuo Kirijo, I'm glad you came over. I'm in need of someone who's experienced my shows before too do this next act? Can you help a poor guy out?"
"Alright." Tetsuo smiled. "Do I need to do anything different from last time?"
"Alright now ladies, and gentleman! Here we are with a guest of ours the amazing, Tetsuo Kirijo!" Atsuhiro announced over going over a dazzling monologue. "For the final act, he takes rings in the form of my Quirk," doing hand tricks marbles appeared in between his fingers four each in his hand. "and set them as obstacles in my path in the air while I perform special tricks passing through them! Now you will get to see a dazzling performance here, and now with me Atsuhiro Sako, and his wonderful new assistant Tetsuo Kirijo!"
Tetsuo gave a small bow at that. Everyone started talking excitedly as Atsuhiro moved leaning to talk in Tetsuo's ear silently so the audience won't hear. "Do you think you can keep up with my speed?"
"I think so, so do you want me to throw the marbles at you?" Tetsuo asked quietly. "Is there any order I should throw them?"
"Go nuts just make it dazzling." Atsuhiro answered pulling back before he pulled out another marble placing it down snapping his fingers as it popped up a small stool which he stands up getting everyone's attention quieting down as he raised his arms up before he crouch down. Then after a few seconds he jumped up high which Tetsuo took this as the signal.
Seeing that he threw one of the marbles towards Atsuhiro.
Atsuhiro snapped his fingers as the marble in the air transformed into a obstacle course ring which Atsuhiro passed through twirling in the air before he tapped it turning it into a Marble again. Tetsuo threw another marble which Atsuhiro deformed into another ring that this time Atsuhiro perform a spinning passing tapping it to turn into another marble, and Tetsuo threw another that Atsuhiro turned into another ring where Atsuhiro this time performed a flip in the air while also juggling in the air with some balls he had brought from his Quirk tapping the ring turning it into a marble. For the final trick, Atsuhiro looked at Tetsuo which the younger nodded throwing the rest in the air that Atsuhiro turned into three rings in a line which Atsuhiro while performing a backflip, and doing some poses passed through all three rings turning them to marbles along the way. With that he dropped landing on the ground in a dazzling pose over in front of the audience.
"Whoa, that was impressive." Junpei admitted.
"Yeah, it was." Chidori agreed while Medea giggled happily.
Everyone started cheering, and whistling for the act as roses were thrown over that Atsuhiro bowed over. "Thank you, thank you, you all are too kind!" He softly takes Tetsuo's shoulder leaning. "Alright take the money that's in the hat that they given, and move. We will chat more somewhere private. Don't worry it's legal money." That said he bowed again. "Alright, thank you again ladies, and gentleman. Bid you all next time for my next performance!" He twirled around. "Compress!" He vanished which Tetsuo can see he turned himself into a marble.
Tetsuo blinked before taking the hat and telling the others that he would be right back while looking for Atsuhiro.
He also taken the marbles in hand, and walked off. Outside of an area one of the marbles he had glowed which he takes out of his pocket before the marble transformed into Atsuhiro who sighed. "Whew, for a second I thought we wouldn't get away from the media." He wipe his mask's forehead with his arm before turning over to Tetsuo. "Well young man, you've proven over to me again you'd make a spectacular assistant for my shows here."
"I appreciate that, but I don't think I can accept your offer." Tetsuo admitted. "I'm actually planning on attending U.A and entering the hero course."
"Oh is that so?" Interested hearing that Atsuhiro grinned over towards him. "Then I guess you have a strong Quirk to be accepted at the best hero school. However, I think even if my shows aren't the main topic, I think we can work up an agreement for you to be prepared."
"Really, what kind of agreement?" Tetsuo asked smiling.
"Well if you heard about me as a Phantom Thief, you are correct. You see my Great-Great Grandfather was a Phantom Thief himself known as Oji Hajima, or better known as the Peerless Thief." Atsuhiro explained over towards him. "And despite what many of those unfaithful about him say, he is better as someone who steals from the wealthy, and back to civilians. So he committed a crime by theft yes... but does that make him bad if he was giving it towards people who needed it?"
"Well… I guess not." Tetsuo admitted before smiling. "Actually it sounds like he was trying to help people."
"Indeed. But most people just seen crime as villainy without a chance for the perpetrator a chance to explain themselves. At best people like them be considered vigilantes but yet he was labeled as a villain since the wealthy he stole from are really stingy if you get my meaning." Atsuhiro stated over with crossed arms leaning against the wall. "But of course the greatest of all Phantom Thieves otherside from him are the Phantom Thieves of Heart. While I don't understand there methods, I think we have the same goals: Stealing from the wealthy such as there target's desires, and give them to the people, a chance to stand up, and take a name for themselves. And yet there labeled as vigilantes while greater ones such as Harima are labeled as villains." He then turned over towards Tetsuo. "You want to know why I'm telling you this?"
Tetsuo frowned. "Because you're jealous of the Phantom Thieves?"
"Jealous? Hahaha." Atsuhiro shook his head with a chuckle over. "Oh no, anything but envy is the motive. It's just I think you also see the Thieves being great people but I think you want to be as quick, and effective. So maybe I teach you some tricks, and acrobatics for you to be ready as a hero."
"You would do that?" Tetsuo asked recalling Atsuhiro's acrobatics earlier. "That would be great thanks."
"So then we're in agreement?" Atsuhiro offered a hand.
"Definitely." Tetsuo smiled taking it.
Just then time froze.
"I am Thou, Thou Art I...
Thou has acquired a new vow.
It shall become the wings of rebellion
that breaketh the chains of captivity.
With the birth of the Jester Persona,
I shall become the hero that shall lead
to truth, and liberation..."
Atsuhiro Sako/Mr. Compress: (Jester; RANK 1)
'Jester?' Tetsuo thought before shaking his head. "Thanks."
"No problem, and here." Atsuhiro handed a marble to him. "As a small token for earlier. Piece!" He twirled around himself. "Compress!" He vanished again this time leaving Tetsuo alone with the hat gone.
Tetsuo blinked before going back to meet up with the others. They were waiting for him chatting before they turned over where Izuku looked over asking him. "What did Sako-san want to talk about?"
"He wanted to talk about his grandpa and how he was a villain while the Phantom Thieves were considered vigilantes, and he offered to help teach me some of his acrobatics." Tetsuo smiled.
"Well I'm looking forward to see what will happen." Junpei grinned over. "Okay let's find Medea a swimsuit for tomorrow, and then head back."
"That sounds perfect." Izuku smiled. "Maybe one with flowers?"
Said girl giggled, and walked to the kids section to find a suit for her.
Ulrich362: A shorter chapter this time, but Yakushima deserves its own chapter... especially considering everything that took place there right Bopdog?
bopdog111: Want to try getting our usual limit but we managed to get half of that. And this arc's main antagonist was seen if you manage to spot him. It isn't Mr. Compress cause he isn't a villain (at least the kind your thinking of) quite yet.
Ulrich362: True, so next up a beach, flashback, and bonding chapter?
bopdog111: Yup. Along with a chance for everyone to meet each other both old, and new.
Ulrich362: Sounds good to me, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
