"Yawwnnnn." Nise stretched as she woke up, bright and early.
She used her vectors to take off her covers, before then using them to lift herself out of bed and onto her feet.
"Mmmmmm!" She stretched a bit, waking herself up completely. "Okay! Time for breakfast!"

"So did you see Astral Formers 2 last night?" Fuku asked as she and Nise ate their breakfast together in the cafeteria.
"Yeah, the plot was kinda lame, but the animation was just beautiful!" Nise said, thoroughly enjoying today's meal of French Toast and Sausage.
"Right!? You could feel the love in each frame! The passion! The talent! You know, Ken's animations always look good, but it doesn't feel as good as animation like this." Fuku noted.
"Well, Ken doesn't really have that much passion in what he does. He just likes money. He's not an artist." Nise pointed out.
"I'm not sure I'd go that far," Fuku said sheepishly. "Kinda feels a little…gatekeepy."
"Maybe. I'm right though." Nise asserted.

"Alright kids, can anyone tell me what the answer is?" Kyoshi asked his class.
Nise raised her hand. "28!"
"Inncorret!" Kyoshi said. "You forgot to carry the two!"
Nise looked down at her notebook, and realized her mistake, her face turning bright red as she realized she just embarrassed herself in front of the whole class. "Ah! Sorry!"
"It's fine, remember, making mistakes is part of learning." Kyoshi reminded them, dashing over to Nise in a flash and patting her on the head. "I'm just glad you worked up the courage to try."
Nise felt a sense of reassurance and looked around to see if anyone was judging her, only to find little to no judgment.
Kyoshi dashed back in front of the desk. "Alright, would anyone else like to try?"

"Alright, now just move your arms like I showed you," Izuku instructed. He and Nise were in the pool, Izuku holding her up as they continued their biweekly swimming lessons.
"Like this," Nise said as she swam forward a little.
"Yeah like that, perfect!" Izuku praised me. "Good job!"
Nise smiled, feeling the warmth of Izuku's praise course through her. And she started taking more confident strokes.
"Good, good. Alright, I think after today I won't have anything left to teach you." Izuku said.
"Awww." Nise pouted. She always enjoyed spending this time with Izuku. It just felt nice having a caring, loving father. Like an itch had finally been scratched.
"Oh it's ok, I still have lots I can teach you if you're interested," Izuku said while bringing her into his embrace.
Nise nodded, before leaning into his embrace. I love having a good family.

"Did I do a good job?" Shina asked as she set down her nail brush.
"Yeah, it looked great!" Nise said as she admired her newly painted red toenails.
"Hmmmmm." Kuki inspected his toenails closely. "Yeah, they pass. Show me how to do the fingernails next."
"Excellent work Shina." Kiba praised.
"It's so nice to spend time with the girls. And my brother." Koe typed.
"Is that supposed to mean something?" Kuki asked, sending his sister a mean look.
Koe just smiled and patted Kuki on the head.
"Don't get paint all over the wig!" Shina and Kuki shouted at the same time.
Nise couldn't help but giggle, at the cute antics in front of her.

"Alright, my loyal minions! Welcome to today's broadcast!" Kiba said into her camera. She and Nise sat together in her room, controllers in their hands. "Today we're going to play Tarnished Spirits 2! And as you can see, we have Nise from Nise and Easy over as a guest once again!"
"Hey guys!" Nise greeted peppily, having gotten used to introducing herself on camera by now.
Nise and Kira stream!
Let's go!
Man, these two stream together a lot. Makes me wonder why she has her own channel.
Cause she feels like it.
How many controllers do you think Kiba will break this time?
You think Nise will smash the T.V. again?
"Now enough talk! Let's get to playing!" Kiba said.
Nise took a deep breath. This time, she was determined not to get upset and break anything.

"Ok, let us begin," Giza said as he and Nise stood on opposite sides of the training room.
"Right." Nise steeled herself, getting her vectors ready.
Giza nodded, before dashing right at her.
As soon as Giza entered her range, Nise sent out her vectors. Sending two that came from the left and right, and behind those one that came from above, and behind that, one that came from below.
Giza ducked under the two vectors, rushing past the overhead vector as it tried to slam into him, and kicked the vector that tried to grab his foot aside.
Nise tried to move her vectors back at Giza to grab him from behind, but Giza had reached her, just before her vectors could touch her.
"Done," Giza said as he flicked Nise's forehead.
Nise pouted. "How can you tell where they are?"
"They may be invisible, but they still make a sound as they move through the air. Most won't notice, but some will. You make your vectors tangible far too early. And you hesitate too much with your attacks. Your vectors can move faster than me. Use that to keep the area covered, it makes it harder for an enemy to approach." Giza said.
"Yes sir." Nise sighed, a feeling of frustration at her own flaws growing inside of her.
Giza patted her on the head. "Don't be ashamed, we all have to learn at some point. Even I had to learn the basics of combat at some point, even with my quirk. Improvement will come, with time and effort."
Nise smiled a bit. "Thank you, sir."

All the members of Liberation had gathered in the band room once again, for another jam session.
They weren't playing any song in particular, they were just doing an exercise to make sure they could stay in perfect harmony, without anyone missing a beat.
Nise was slamming the drums, as usual.
The beat the band created was almost hypnotic, in a real good way. And the sense of pride Nise felt to be a part of that rhythm, could not be understated.
Of course that would only make it sting more if SHE was the one who messed it up and made them start over.
Which is why, despite the relaxing beat, Nise stayed focused. Making sure she got everything right. She didn't get too tense, she'd made that mistake before, and it caused her to hesitate and slip up more ironically. She carried some confidence in her skills, and let her practice guide her.
"Alright, I think that's enough for now," Shina called, causing everyone to stop.
"Whew." Fuku let out a sigh of relief.
Koe patted her on the back and hit the girls with a big smile and thumbs up.
Nise smiled down at her drumsticks, a feeling of relief and fulfillment at not having dropped the ball a single time.
"Great job girls!" Shina cheered. "Let's go get dinner."
Shina held up a hand, and the girls shared a four-way high five.

Izuku finally laid down to go to bed.
Getting comfy in his sheets and laying his head on his pillow. Ready to close his eyes.
And like clockwork, the door to his bedroom opened.
This was not a rare occurrence. Either because he suddenly had more work to do, or because one of the kids wanted to sleep together.
Thankfully, it seemed to be the latter this time. With Nise walking in.
With her eyes closed. And fake snores coming out of her mouth.
She stumbled towards Izuku's bed, and crawled in next to him, clinging to his side.
Izuku smiled a bit, before laying back down. "Goodnight Kira."
Kira's eyes opened, and she scowled at him. "How did you know?"
"Your movements always set you apart. It makes it pretty easy to tell who's in control." Izuku explained as he gently rubbed Kira's head.
"I don't get you. You're smart, but you're so nice to me." Kira said, not moving away from Izuku at all.
"I believe I've told you, I trust that you're not trying to kill me anymore, and I don't hold your past against you. A child deserves to be loved and cared for, end of sentence." Izuku told her. "Or do you just like hearing that over and over."
Kira stayed silent.
"You can still see and feel things when Nise is in control right?" Izuku asked although he was already pretty sure of the answer. "I won't press about that now, but we will talk about it later."
Izuku looked down at Kira and found that she was fast asleep. Really asleep this time. Likely because she switched to Nise.
"Goodnight you two," Izuku said, before falling asleep himself.
Just a little fun filler chapter.
Surely not adding this to add to the impact of the next chapter.
Surely nothing bad will happen.
Anyway, please review and have a nice day.
