"Thanks for all your help, everyone." Tsukauchi said he was dismissing everyone in the area. The area was not as crowded as before since an hour had gone by since the incident. Nothing much has happened until there was excitement among the crowd.

"Looks like it's the number one hero, Endeavor!" The reporters near the scene rushed to meet the hero, with their cameraman stationed nearby following them. Endeavor walked through the crowd into the region that was off limits.

"Detective, I need to have a word with you." The hero proclaimed towering over the man.

"Now, now, don't you mean we, Endeavor-san?" A new voice came onto the scene. The said man narrowed his eyes at the number-two hero known as Hawks.

"What? Don't look at me like that. I can tell you are glad to see me." Hawks laughed as he approached the two.

"Don't push past your limits, Hawks." Endeavor grunted. Hawks raised his hands in defeat. "Okay, big guy, whatever you say." Endeavor bit his lip, glaring at the winged hero.

"Now, back to why we are here." Hawks turned to the detective. "We would like to have a word with you about this case."

Inosuke huffed loudly, his arms folded in place with his feet placed on the desk. He was certainly not in the mood to talk to anyone today. Not that he didn't want to speak to anyone, but he could feel the tense atmosphere surrounding his fellow classmates. They barely spoke to him and his friends, all except a few others who apologized for what happened yesterday. Examples include Kirishima, Hagakurue, Uraraka, and Iida lecturing him why he shouldn't place his feet on the desk and ignoring him the entire time while having these rummaging thoughts in his head.

Sure enough, it was okay for him to say that they were still wary of them. He didn't care, honestly, since all he did was challenge them, especially a certain Pomeranian. He glanced across the room, his eyes looking for Genya. Ah, there he was, next to Tanjirou, quietly speaking to himself. From what he could recall, Tanjirou told him he was doing repetitive actions. He could see Zenitsu dawning over a book; apparently, he had started his own novel.

Wait, thinking wasn't his style at all. 'What a pain!' He frowned. Before he could start chaos at this point, a huge, muscular blonde man walked into the class, signaling for the rest to settle down. Everyone who wasn't aware of who this was perked up, as they had never seen him before.

"I AM HERE!!" All might declare standing in front of the class.

Needless to say, the man coughed up blood, startling the slayers, before he returned to his skinny form. Everyone else sweats, as this is not new.

"Now, you all should proceed to Gym Gamma with your hero costumes outside. Aizawa and I would be waiting for you there." Class 1- A nodded, leaving the room to change into their hero costumes.

Last night, after the chaos with the slayers, 'Eh!' Mineta had been tapped against the wall, restricting his movements any further. All 20 students were having a meeting in the general area after their teacher left. Yes, even Bakugo was there since he was urged from his bed to join by the bakusquad.

Sero flexed his arms, giving a thumbs up to the rest. "Now that's wrapped up. We can continue."

"Somebody should start, Kero." Asui stated.

"Okay." Iida stood up to begin his explanation, but Bakugo cut him short.

"What the hell did you bring me here for?" Bakugo asked fiercely.

"I was honestly thinking the same thing." Ojiro commented, but luckily Bakugo didn't hear.

"You can leave if you want. No one will force you to stay. Who convinced you to come?" Todoroki looked at Bakugo, who in turn turned to the idiotic trio, whistling like nothing happened. Long story short, they kidnapped him with Sero's tape. They are so dead later after this.

"Bakugo, you are the reason for this meeting. After what happened earlier with Shinazugawa-kun," Bakugo frowned.

"Hey, let's not blame only Bakugo. What about Mineta?" Mina added, with Hagakure fiercely nodding next to her.

"You went too far. Even you, Mineta." Iida scolded. Bakugo clicked his tongue. "Is that all you have to say after what you saw?"

"I'm not against you for questioning him. Though fighting is an offensive act to a fellow student, I can't allow that."

"He brought a fucking gun!"

"Hey Bakugo, remember that is for hero works; maybe the principal allowed it for them to bring their weapons." Kirishima said.

"How is he different from the rest of us?" Bakugo asked. The room went silent as no one else knew what to say. "Those guys are hiding something. I'm going to find out what."

"Bakugo..." Iida trailed off.

"We respect you, Iida. Bakugo is right. Remember that time Mr. Aizawa got injured?"Todoroki picked up the conversation. Uraraka hummed, thinking back to that time. "He said there was a breach of. A security guard and villains were found. He also concluded that it was not the league."

Midoriya began his mumbling spree when it clicked in him. He had his suspicions, but...

"You are doing it again, Deku." Uraraka shyly pointed out. Midoriya stopped and apologized before asking Todoroki to continue.

"He continues by saying that they were being interrogated. Have you all forgotten that he also said that he was assigned to keep a watchful eye on them?"

A brief silence.

"No way!" Kaminari exclaimed. "You are saying those guys were the ones who broke in."

"How were they able to do that? They can't just pop out of nowhere, right?" Sero chuckled.

"Well, that's the only damn theory we can settle for." Bakugo proceeded. "If you three have anything to say, say it now." Aoyama and Hagakure flinched at his tone. After telling them, the class was more surprised by this reveal.

"No wonder you spaced out a lot." Mina piped in. "But wait, who is the third person?"

Bakugo stared at the greenette. "Go ahead, Deku."

"I had my suspicions too. According to the U.A. database, the population won't exceed 20 students per class. Even transferring students based on recommendations during the semester, I'm not sure if that is possible considering that we will soon go on winter break. Also, they were holding back during the training at Ground Omega and barely knew any concepts as a high schooler." Midoriya explained.

"Mr. Aizawa has been keeping a eye on them all this time." Yaoyorozu said calmly closing her eyes with her hand placed beneath her chin. ' How did I not notice this? It wasn't a coincidence to transfer in suddenly, especially since they weren't even recommended.'

"But I'm sure they are not villains. There has to be a misunderstanding somewhere. I mean, they are not traitors, right?" Midoriya asserted, recalling the first interaction with them.

"If not, then who are they?" Jirou asked.

"I don't know who they are, but for them to land a hit on a pro-hero, They can't be taken lightly at all." Yaoyorozu chimes in, placing her hand down.

"Villain or not! I'm going to find out the truth." Bakugo yelled. "Besides, we just have to see them in action first."

The class had arrived in gym Gamma, seeing their teachers, including a pink-haired student. Midoriya, Uraraka, Iida, and Kaminari recognized the girl. It was Mei Hatsume from the first-year support course. She was waving vigorously at the class while they approached their teachers.

"Hey, Class 1-A, looking as heroic as ever, I see. Hey, are they here to test out my new babies?" Hatsume is animatedly called. Zenitsu and Genya blushed madly at her statement. Tanjirou was slightly shaken, while Inosuke was confused by what she was going on about.

"Haven't I seen you somewhere?" Mina asked, walking towards the pink-haired girl.

"Hmm, I don't remember seeing you or meeting you anywhere. So let's forget about that." Hatsume began waving her hands.

"Oh, you are that support girl from the sports festival." Sato chimed in.

"The one who beat Iida, am I right?" Iida paled after hearing Mina.

"Huh? Who's that?"

"She reminds me of Bakugo when we teamed up with him at the festival."

"Shut your mouth, raccoon eyes!"

"Young Hatsume is here on behalf of the power loader to see if any of you need improvements on your costumes." All those beside Aizawa were informed.

"That's right. So don't be shy." Hatsume cheered on.

"I want you guys to be working on your quirks with Cementoss and Ectoplasm here. All might, and I will be surveying your task." Aizawa concluded, leaving the students to begin their training.

"Wanna team up? I want to see if I'm able to discharge more volts of electricity without ending, like you know what." Kaminari said with a wide smile.

"Sure, let's see if my unbreakable is able to withstand it." Kirishima smirked.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ectoplasm. I might need your help." Uraraka began.

"Okay then." The pro-hero said:.

"So what do we do?" Zenitsu asked his friends to watch everyone else train.

"Let's spar and see who is stronger between me and you." Inosuke rushed towards the blonde, to which Zenitsu dashed as far as possible away from screaming for help.

"Are you kids here to play?" Cementoss narrowed his eyes at Inosuke specifically.

"You are a pro-hero, Cementoss, right? We need you for our training." Tanjirou felt like Genya was still edgy after what happened last night. He hasn't said anything since the start of today.

"Okay. Tell me once you are ready." Genya had already readied his Nirichin bullets. Luckily, he had plenty of them left.

"You guys, take a look at this." Their heads snapped to Inosuke, who held his swords with both hands. His swords had a deeper shade of blue than usual, and Kanao thought back at the sight of her own sword too. One by one, they all unsheathed their blades, revealing them to have darker shades of their usual color.

Tanjirou's sword was coal black, much to his surprise. "Any idea why this happened?" Genya scratched his hair. His sword is still the same, regardless.

"No, I don't. Anyway, we mustn't keep our teachers waiting. Let's start our training." Aizawa glanced at the young slayers who held their blades in hand. He was curious to see how they fought. From the corner of his eye, All Might would occasionally glance at them too.

Some of the other students were wrapping up their training while the rest were done. It makes Aizawa wonder how long the slayers were talking and standing there not doing anything.

"Can you create cement walls for us?" Cementoss looked at Tanjirou for a bit before nodding. Within seconds, concrete walls were formed in front of the slayers.

"Watch the true power of Inosuke, you minions! I'll chop it into pieces."

Class 1-A had stopped their training, eager to see what the new students could do with real swords.

"Is it just me, or has anyone noticed the color of their swords?" Shoji asked.

"Yeah, I've never seen a sword like that before." Koda mumbled timidly.

"Do you guys see the streaks of lightning on that sword? It's pretty cool." Kaminari faced Mina and the rest.

"Kanao's sword has a light pink blade, plus that sword guard is pretty." Mina squealed.

Bakugo resisted the urge to roll his eyes at this point. He was mostly interested in how strong they were. Midoriya had practically summoned a book and written down things about their sword.

Without further ado, Nezuko swiftly kicked the cement, making a hole in the wall, while Genya shot Nirichin bullets enough for it to pass through.

"Kamado sure is strong for a girl." Mineta gaped, frightened by her strength.

"I wonder what type of bullets Shinazugawa is using for it to be able to tonpierce through that cement so easily." Yaoyorozu pondered.

Before Inosuke could attack his wall, a yell stopped his tracks. He irritatedly turned back, seeing Hatsumei.

waving at them.

"I need you to test out my babies with your quirky...um, swords." As she said that, four robots about her height and size appeared. "I need to test their efficiency and speed."

"Alright. I'll go first." Inosuke charged at the robot going for the attack. To his disappointment, the robot dodged him, and he quickly revalued his stance by sliding against the floor.

"Beast breathing;third fang: devour." He released two simultaneous slashes at the robot before somersaulting back. With that, the robot fell apart. Kanao blinked, rubbing her eyes.

"Woah, nice, sword skils." Kirishima thought it was manly.

"Hah! Praise me more." Inosuke proclaimed, swinging his swords dangerously, until he was caught by Aizawa's scarf.

Without warning, the bell rang. Groans could be heard among the students as they wanted to see more of their skills.

"Did you see that?" Genya leaned toward the rest, watching as Hatsume complained about Inosuke cutting off her baby.

'You saw it too.' Zenitsu and Kanao thought.

Inosuke held his sword, awestruck. Something definitely odd just happened.

Taisho secret

* Did you know that Dabi and Zenitsu share the same Japanese VA?

"Okay, I want to try something fun with you guys."

"What is it, Author-san?" Tanjirou asked curiously.

"We are doing a Popularity contest!!"

"Eh!?"

"Dear readers, I need you to comment below on which character will be the most popular. The year is coming to a close, so I thought, Why not do this?"

"Nezuko wants to ask when the results will be released."

"Good question. The results will be released on the 1st of the new year after a new chapter on the 31st. So, your votes determine when the next chapter will be released. I will need so as to be announced next chapter."

"Okay. I hope you vote for me and Nezuko too."

"What do you mean, Jontaro? I will beat you in populy."

"Inosuke, you pig! It's popularity."

"Why aren't you four in class?" Aizawa spoke threatenly.

"Welp, that's my cue! See ya! "

"Wait, Author-san! Don't leave us behind! Eek! Tanjirou! he has activated his quirk. Run!"
