Things on the other side.
Several days after the betrayal, as they like to call it, Yamikumo, Toga and Dabi are hiding in the mountains while things calm down, Twice's funeral is currently taking place.
Dabi, Toga and Yamikumo are standing in front of a makeshift tombstone, since there is no body there is nothing to bury, it is just a symbolic grave.
- "Not many people can say they knew Jin-kun as personally as we do..."- Toga said. – "He was a good person; he was just mistreated by society that left him behind thanks to his problems."-
- "Of everyone in the league he was the one I tolerated the most... I guess he's one of the few I could call a friend."- Dabi said. – "He was always loyal to those who deserved it."-
- "I didn't know Jin as much as you did... but from the little time I lived with him..."- Yamikumo said. – "He is far from the definition of a villain... he was just someone who was down on his luck and was left behind."-
Toga approaches the grave and places the bracelet that Mahoro gave to Twice. – "Rest in peace Jin-kun... I hope that in the next world you have the happiness you deserved."-
Dabi approaches Toga and hugs her, now is not the time to bother each other, Toga cries in Dabi's arms.
After the small impromptu funeral, the three take refuge inside a cave, Yamikumo made a bonfire, while Toga, after crying a lot, fell asleep and is using Dabi's lap to lie down.
The atmosphere is sad and silent... Yamikumo has his eyes closed while sitting while Dabi just watches the bonfire.
Suddenly Yamikumo gets up and heads to the exit of the cave. – "Where are you going?"- Dabi asked.
- "To kill Hiro."- Yamikumo said.
Dabi leaves Toga lying on the ground and follows Yamikumo. - "Hell yeah, I'm in!"- He said.
- "You don't have to come."- Yamikumo said.
- "But I'm going."- Dabi said. – "That guy must have a new guard, you'll need help, besides... I want to see him dead."-
- "What you say makes sense... we are going to need more people besides the two of us, luckily I still have Nagant's contact."- Yamikumo said.
- "The sniper lady again with us."- Dabi said.
- "Yes, I'm also thinking about someone else who can help us and luckily someone owes me a favor."- Yamikumo said.
- "And with him we will be four... perfect."- Dabi said.
- "You're planning to go kill Hiro, aren't you?"- Toga asked.
- "Yes."- Yamikumo said.
- "Perfect... I'm going with you."- Toga said.
- "Are you sure?"- Yamikumo asked.
- "Tomura may have been Jin's killer... but Hiro is the one who triggered all this."- Toga said. – "I will go with you."-
- "We will be five then… Very well."- Yamikumo said. – "Thanks to the data on Garaki's computer I know where that bastard is hiding."-
- "I'm dying to see him again."- Dabi said.
- "I want to see his face when he dies."- Toga said.
- "We will… don't worry."- Yamikumo said.
- "The team meets again... so much nostalgia." – Dabi said.
- "For now let's rest, we will leave tomorrow at dawn, we have a long way to go."- Yamikumo said.
With a plan drawn up, the three re-enter the cave to rest.

Midoriya Residence.
- "Oh my God! It's a pleasure to meet you!"- In another part of Japan, Inko Midoriya has just met her daughter's girlfriend, obviously she is very excited and happy.
- "It's a pleasure to meet you too!"- Mina said.
- "Izumi! Why had you never introduced her to me before?!"- Inko asked.
- "W-We've been very busy at UA, and this is one of those rare days off."- Izumi said.
- "Still, I'm glad to meet you."- Inko said.
- "You don't have a problem with us dating?"- Mina asked.
- "Of course not! As long as Izumi is happy, it's fine for me."- Inko said. – "Thank you very much for taking care of my daughter."-
- "More like we take care of each other!"- Mina said.
- "Well, I'm glad you could come, please make yourself at home while I prepare something to eat."- Inko said.
Inko goes to the kitchen, leaving both girls in the living room. – "Your mom is great!"- Mina said.
- "I know, right?"- Izumi said.
- "Next time you'll have to meet my family!"- Mina said.
- "R-Right!"- Izumi said.
After this the two continue talking until the food is ready. – "This is delicious!"- Mina said.
- "Thank you sweetie!"- Inko said.
- "Mom is the best cook in the world!"- Izumi said.
Once the meal is over, there is only one thing left to do, Izumi got chills when she saw her mother approaching with a certain photo album.
- "Photos of baby Izumi!"- Mina said.
Izumi can only cover her face with her hands out of embarrassment.
After this embarrassment, the only thing left to do is return to the dorms. – "Thank you very much for everything Mrs. Midoriya!"- Mina said.
- "No need to be formal, you can call me Inko."- Inko said.
- "Sure!"- Mina said.
- "Well... it was nice to see you mom, but we have to go before curfew starts."- Izumi said.
- "Travel carefully."- Inko said. – "And please bring Mina-chan more often!"-
- "S-Sure!"- Izumi said. – "Let's go Mina."-
- "I'm right behind you Midori!"- Mina said.
And so, the two girls return to the dorms, luckily they arrived in time before curfew.

Next day.
Teacher's lounge.
- "So, any progress with One for All?"- Toshinori asks Izumi.
- "I have managed to increase the percentage that I can use as well as I have already mastered the black whip and float."- Izumi said.
- "It must have been difficult to master float."- Toshinori said.
- "Uraraka-san helped me with that... although I had to rack my brain thinking of an excuse to tell her..."- Izumi said. – "It's difficult without Atanagi-kun... he's the one who always had the perfect excuse for these things..."-
- "It must be difficult... before you had someone to talk to about this... now you can only this way."- Toshinori said.
- "Yeah…"- Izumi said with her head down.
- "Well... and what about the other One for All quirks?"- Toshinori asked trying to change the topic.
- "I still haven't completely mastered Smokescreen, Danger Sense is strange and it seems to already work, but that doesn't mean that it still hurts when it activates…"- Izumi said. – "Fa Jin I still have some things to practice and Gearshift... I haven't tried using it yet..."-
- "And why not?"- Toshinori asked.
- "According to Kudo, the second wielder, his quirk has become too strong while being inside One for All, if I use it can be very dangerous so we left it as a weapon of last resort."- Izumi said.
- "I see…"- Toshinori asked. – "Anything else you want to add?"-
- "Tell him to take care of himself, I don't want to see him here yet." - Nana Shimura said to Izumi.
- "Nana says take care of yourself, it's not time for you to be with them yet."- Izumi said.
- "My master... always worrying about me..."- Toshinori said.
- "Well... I must go, thank you very much for talking to me All Might."- Izumi said. – "Since Atanagi-kun left I can only talk about One for All with you... it's hard to be in the dorms and want to talk about it and not be able..."-
- "If you let me recommend something to you..."- Toshinori said. – "Tell someone you trust about One for All."-
- "What?"- Izumi said.
- "I know it sounds crazy, it's a secret but... remember that I have people who know about this."- Toshinori said. – "I'm not telling you to tell everyone... but to put your mind at ease you can tell someone you really trust."-
- "I… I'll think about it… Thank you."- Izumi said before leaving.
- "Toshinori has a point... One for All is now yours, so it's your decision who you tell and who you don't."- Nana said.
- "Do you agree with that?"- Izumi asked in her head.
- "Whatever you decide, we cannot interfere."- Kudo, the second holder, said. – "We can give our opinion, but that's it."-
- "We made our decisions when we had One for All... now you have it, you have total freedom in this."- Bruce, the third holder, said.
- "I see..."- Izumi thought. – "Someone I trust and can talk to about this..."-
- "Interesting choice..."- Yoichi, the first holder, said.
- "Like you said... I decide, don't I?"- Izumi said.
- "I like your attitude girl!"- Banjo, the fifth holder, said.
- "Even so, I think it's too early, I still have to think this through..."- Izumi said.
- "It seems correct to me, it is better not to make hasty decisions."- Hikage, the fourth holder, said.
- "Yeah…"- Izumi said.
The rest of the day continued as normal, although Izumi is a little distracted. – "Midoriya... I know my classes aren't the most fun... but I need you to pay attention."- Ectoplasm said.
- "R-Right… Sorry."- Izumi said.
After class with Ectoplasm it's time to rest for a few minutes while the next class begins.
- "Guys... did you hear what happened in Deika?"- Kirishima asked.
- "Yes, I heard that the damage was worse than on Kamino."- Iida said.
- "Although unlike what happened on Kamino, the civilians are giving their moral support to the heroes."- Kaminari said.
- "It's a different perspective than back then."- Uraraka said.
- "Maybe it's because Endeavor is trying his hardest!"- Mina said.
- "Let's not go that far..."- Todoroki said.
- "Don't be so optimistic!"- Midnight said as she enters the classroom being accompanied by a guest, Mt. Lady. – "Although it seems that things are turning in our favor, still if you look deep down you can find a feeling of uneasiness in people."-
- "Lately the society of heroes was corrupted by the world of entertainment."- Mt. Lady said. – "But now the heroes have returned to their true meaning!"-
- "Mt. Lady?!"-
- "Since you have been more exposed to the media, I brought a special guest."- Aizawa said while standing at the entrance of the classroom in his sleeping bag.
- "Today we will do training to talk to the media!"- Mt. Lady said. – "Today my beautiful being will teach you to be heroes!" –
- "I don't quite understand what we are going to do! But it must be done!"- Kirishima said.
Everyone changes into their hero costumes and goes out to the patio to find a news stage where Mt. Lady is acting as a reporter. – "We will start with interview practices!"-
Shoto is the first to come on stage. – "Tell me Shoto! What kind of hero do you want to be?!"- Mt. Lady asked.
- "Someone whose presence calms others."- Shoto said.
- "Oh! If someone as handsome as you came to rescue me, my heart would start racing!"- Mt. Lady said.
- "Do you have heart problems?"- Shoto asked innocently.
- "He's so innocent…"- Mt. Lady thought. – "What kind of special attacks do you have?"-
Suddenly Shoto creates an ice glacier. – "The Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall has many uses, it can cover a wide range, trap people inside, cover my teammates among other things."- Shoto said. – "It also works as a violent blast of ice."-
Shoto starts to go up on stage again. – "There is also Flashfire Fist, my father's move..."- He said. – "But I still can't use it, I'm still not at his level."-
- "I'm not here to ask personal questions but you know, you should smile more."- Mt. Lady said while winking at Shoto. – "You'll slay the ladies with your smile!"-
- "If I smile... will they die?!"- Shoto said terrified.
- "Alright, next!"- Mt. Lady said.
Little by little everyone has their turn on stage.
Now it's Shinso's turn. - "Your story is very interesting... if I'm not mistaken, you started in the general studies course, didn't you?"- Mt. Lady asked.
- "That's correct."- Shinso said.
- "It must feel strange to be part of the hero course now!"- Mt. Lady said. – "How was the experience?!"-
- "It was thanks to my own efforts that I achieved it."- Shinso said.
- "I have before me a great example of never giving up, excellent!"- Mt. Lady said. – "Next!"-
- "I don't say stupid things! Shut up and follow me!"- Bakugo said, now is his turn on the stage.
- "Alright, next!"- Mt. Lady said.
- "Deku-chan, right?"- Mt. Lady said to Izumi who is petrified by nerves. – "I saw your performance, you were great!"-
- "I'm… glad…" - Izumi barely said.
- "She's quite tense... she looks like she's using my hardening!"- Kirishima said.
- "Midori is no longer the shy girl she used to be... but it seems that speaking in front of the cameras is not her thing..."- Mina said.
- "By the way... I heard you've discovered new ways to use your quirk!"- Mt. Lady said.
- "Yeah!"- Izumi said temporarily forgetting her nerves. – "Since I joined UA I have discovered many things about my quirk, many new ways to use it other than just hitting things."-
- "Unless it's about hero or quirk stuff... in that case the nerves go away."- Mina said.
Izumi quickly demonstrates the black whip. – "This is one of them, I call it black whip."- Izumi said but at that she remembers that there is someone who is missing here, Yamikumo. – "Even so... there is a lot I need to learn to be stronger."-
- "Wow, it's nice to see you let loose in front of the cameras, good!"- Mt. Lady said.
At that moment Izumi remembers where she is and becomes tense again. – "I'm… glad…"- She said.
- "And we go back to normal."- Mina said.

Once classes are over, the teachers gather in the staff room to discuss a certain matter.
- "What is the meaning of this?"- Midnight asked.
- "Why are internships starting again so suddenly?"- Cementoss asked.
- "Due to everything that has happened recently, the attack on Nabu and the destruction of Deika, the H.P.S.C. has given us an offer to carry out practical training for all students of the hero courses."- Nezu said.
- "An offer?"- Vlad King asked. – "Rather, they are forcing us!"-
- "That is correct."- Nezu said.
- "Isn't that suggesting to us that the commission doesn't have enough resources even though there are more heroes than ever?"- Midnight said.
- "After what happened in Deika the commission is sure that there must be some kind of imminent danger."- Nezu said.
- "The league must have been involved in the Deika disaster."- Snipe said.
- "And probably Nabu."- Ectoplasm said. – "I still can't believe that nothing has been discovered about that incident."-
- "As Kayama said, the commission is being lazy and trying to hide it."- Nezu said. – "The internships seem to be more of a message than anything else."-
- "If that's the case it makes sense that they don't say things directly."- Aizawa said. - "Something is not right."-
- "And if the league is involved... that means our student is too."- Nezu said.
- "Atanagi... from what Midoriya told me, he agreed to follow Tomura's orders in exchange for saving Midoriya's life."- Aizawa said.
- "I don't want to imagine what atrocities they are forcing him to do..."- Midnight said.
- "He is different from the rest of his class... if anyone can go through this it's him."- Aizawa said.
- "I agree, Atanagi-kun is different from any student who has studied here." – Cementoss said. - "From day one he has always been one step ahead of the rest of his classmates."-
- "Then we can trust that Atanagi-kun will be fine, right?"- Nezu said. – "That doesn't mean that we will not do anything to rescue him, as soon as we have more information about his whereabouts we will do everything possible to rescue him."-
- "I agree."- Aizawa said.
- "In the meantime, let's focus on the topic at hand... I think internships, despite everything, are a good idea."- Nezu said.
…
…
…
1-A dorms.
- "That's all..."- Aizawa told his class about the internships. – "Use your contacts to find where to do your internships."-
- "Is there any reason for this?!"- Iida asked.
- "After what happened in Nabu and Deika, the commission believes that it is a good idea for the students of the hero course to be more prepared."- Aizawa said. – "That's all I have to say, I'm leaving."-
- "Tsuyu-chan, Uraraka-san, will you return to Ryukyu?"- Jiro asked.
- "I think so."- Uraraka said.
- "What about you Midoriya-san?"- Iida asked. – "Will you return to Sir Nighteye?"-
- "I think so, I would have to talk to him."- Izumi said.
- "Bakugo, you're going with Best Jeanist, right?"- Kirishima asked.
- "Yeah."- Bakugo said.
At the same time Izumi calls Nighteye to see if she can do her internship with him. – *I'm sorry... but this time we are too busy to accept you.* - Nighteye said. – *Could you please also tell Atanagi?*-
- "S-Sure."- Izumi said. – "Right… only us and the teachers know what happened to Atanagi-kun."-
- *Sorry again, maybe the old man can help you.* - Nighteye said.
- "He's busy too."- Izumi said.
- *I see… Sorry then.*- Nighteye said. – *I hope you find someone to do your internships with.*-
- "Thanks."- Izumi said and then Nighteye hung up. – "It seems I have nowhere to go..."-
- "Midoriya…"- Todoroki approaches Izumi. – "If you have nowhere to go... do you want to join me as an Endeavor intern?"-
…

To be continued.
So yeah. Here we are.
Another chapter finished and yeah.
We return to UA after spending a while with the villains!
Although it will only be for this arc and then we will return to Yamikumo.
This arc will only serve to show how far Izumi has come since we left UA aside.
So don't expect great things... but cool things are coming after this arc!
And no, it won't be a copy/paste from Endeavor's arc, I may be similar but it won't be the same.
Who will be chosen by Izumi to tell about One for All? We will know that at the end of the arc.
Among other things, Izumi finally introduces Mina to her mother!
Another thing, I want to clarify something...
In the canon these events occurred at Christmas and the internships at New Year's, but in this story things were brought forward and happened earlier, both with Deika and this, we could say that we are at the end of November and beginning of December.
Finally... I want to make a confession...
I regret not having played with the members of class A!
By this I mean that originally class A would be different from the one we have, the current one basically has slight changes in its members, Izumi replaces her canon male counterpart, Yamikumo replaces Koji Koda and Kinoko switched classes with Toru Hagakure.
But originally class A will be a mix between characters from class A and B, obviously having the protagonists in this one, being Yamikumo, Izumi and Kinoko (who is Yamikumo's love interest).
Even the teacher was going to be someone else!
The class A roster was going to be the following:
Class 1-A.
Homeroom Teacher: Nemuri Kayama aka Midnight.
Students:
Mina Ashido.
Tsuyu Asui.
Yamikumo Atanagi.
Yosetsu Awase.
Katsuki Bakugo.
Tenya Iida.
Kyoka Jiro.
Togaru Kamakiri.
Denki Kaminari.
Eijiro Kirishima.
Kinoko Komori.
Izumi Midoriya.
Hiryu Rin
Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu.
Shoto Todoroki (Recommended).
Setsuna Tokage (Recommended).
Kosei Tsubaruba.
Pony Tsunotori.
Ochako Uraraka.
Reiko Yanagi.
Pretty cool don't you think?
But in the end I decided to leave it as it was and only make slight changes, this because being my first story I didn't want to risk too much...
But seeing how much the story has changed from the original idea I had, I realize that it would have been quite interesting to say the least.
Anyway... what's done is done...
That was my confession.
Nothing more to say I hope you like it.
As always feel free to leave any comment, review, suggestion, or question about the story, of course always with respect.
Leave your comments about the story, if you like it or not, that also helps me to improve my writing.
So yeah. That's all for now.
Bye Bye.
