Hi ho, everyone!

Welp, it's time for another chapter and you know what that means!

Shenanigans and some light plot stuff!

So, to give you all a fair warning, been doing some job hunting as I'm well enough to get said job now, so chapters may come out a few days longer, so giving you all a heads up on that.

And starting next chapter is training time to the sports festival and the dates of our green bean and his lovely ladies! :D plus even more potential romances popping up? :O

So sit back and relax and enjoy this week's chapter!

OH! and to remind you all, I will be doing some "FF" explanations at the end of the chapter as I know some people don't know the "lore" of FFXIV, and have been put off because of it, so hopefully this should help. If anyone needs something explained (as long as its not tied into the plot which I will address if asked) I'll do so at the end of every chapter. I'm simply calling it "The more you know: Final Fantasy XIV"

So now onto the FFN reviews!

PMC-Midnight Mariner: Thank you! I honestly had a blast writing this chapter as I find it oddly relaxing to write the fluff, as for Nezu's message, well, read on and find out!

AnimeFan13579: Trust me, I'm sure any babies made between Izuku and the girls are going to be adorable, as for the private chat? Dunno tbh... something goofy probably because of Mina.

As for the dream, I mean.. Fray has already told Tsuyu about it, and she did mention it to the girls in a previous chapter before they confessed, so even if Fray did spill the beans, that would just give them confirmation.

fallendemon248: Not much is known in canon about the Asui parents, though they were one of the few to be introduced in the manga. A common trope for the parents is that they are lawyers, so I decided to make them such in this fic.

As for Papa Asui looking into Izuku? It checks out as any father would try and figure out if the guy dating his daughter is any good for her... turns out he did find something that happens to be related to his own past :D

curlyboy01: Thanks and hope you continue reading the story! As for "Phantasia", It is on definite Hiatus as I want to primarily focus on this story, as well as I may want to go back and rewrite it and change a few things as I feel it can be very cringe.

Han-Daewi: While there was a special tattoo that was given to "legacy" players of FFXIV if they had played the original 1.0 version. This tattoo is more my own invention as a sort of "tracker" of what Izuku has unlocked, which each 'kit' symbol filling it up more and more.

So far, it's Paladin, Gunbreaker, Red Mage, White Mage, Dragoon, Warrior, and Machinist... Dark Knight is still being "held back" by Fray for reasons.

Anyway! onto the latest chapter!

Chapter 27

One's Worth

"I honestly don't know how you were able to hide this from us, Mogal…" spoke a slightly larger and possibly older Moogle, with its white fur a duller gray color and whispers that looked to be more akin to a mustache and beard, who was floating in front of the giant aetheryte crystal with several others beside it.

Mogal sighed gently as he was currently being held by Eri as if he was a teddy bear. From the shaking of her little arms, he could tell that the child was frightened, "I-I was going to let you know, kupo… but she was fairly weak and injured when she popped by the crystal! So I-I wanted to help her heal somewhat before doing so."

"And why didn't you use magic, hmm? Even you should be able to cast even the simplest of Moogle magicks! " spoke a slightly slender-looking Moogle, with a higher-pitched voice with a sense of superiority to it, "Or are you still that inept to even use magic?"

"I CAN USE MAGIC JUST FINE, KUPO!" Mogal roared loudly, flying out of Eri's grasp and right into the face of the Moogle that accused him of being poor at magic, "And I tried to use a less potent healing spell because she doesn't have a lot of aether in her body, but it barely did anything!"

"That's only because you are weak!" The snobbish Moogle said as it crashed its forehead against Mogal's, locking their eyes together as both of the creature's hair started to poof up, "All you do goof around and don't take your role as a Moogle seriously!"

"At least I have a role in the jobs I do, unlike SOME Moogles, kupo!"

"ENOUGH!" The voice of the older Moogle boomed out in the cavern, causing it to echo and making most of the other Moogles from within the caverns come to see what the commotion was. The wizened Moogle floated over towards the two young ones and swiftly bonked them on their heads with a mallet that popped up into the air, "If you two dunces hadn't realized it while you were bickering, AGAIN, you are scaring the child!"

Both turned their heads, and Mogal gasped and flew back to Eri's side, who was on the verge of tearing up and huddling within herself. Mogal gently rubbed her arm, trying to calm her down, which caused the small child to whimper and sniff gently. The more lean Moogle looked worried, as its intention was not to scare the poor thing as the elder sighed heavily, floating down towards Mogal and Eri, landing in front of Eri and looking up at her still teary eyes.

"I am sorry that we startled you, young one… I am Elder Noxel Mog, and from what young Mogal has said, your name is Eri, correct?"

Eri gently nodded her head, her fists tightening over a small object that the wizened Moogle had caught sight of. Noxel raised an eyebrow in curiosity as it saw the gleam of a green crystal but paid it no mind, for now, returning its gaze to her, "Well, it may be a little late, but Welcome to Moghome, Little Eri. We promise no harm will come to you, and while you are within our realm, you are protected by the Moogles."

Eri sniffled once again but then gently wiped her eyes of the tears, "Y-You'll protect me from Kai and the bad people?"

The look of fear that was present in her eyes shocked the Moogles that could see it, as well as the question. Even Noxel, the usually level-headed one amongst many of the Moogles, had puffed up in indignation at how someone could hurt such a little girl in such a way. But, it took a deep breath to calm himself down and gently smile reassuringly at her, "I swear on my pom that this Kai or the 'bad people' will never lay a finger on you while you are under our protection."

As if to drive the point home, Mogal had moved himself to be hugged by the small girl once again; Eri immediately pulled the small Moogle to her body, which caused a tiny squeak to escape from his mouth. Noxel chuckled amusingly at this while also noting that the girl had yet to release the crystal in her hand before speaking once again, "I'm sure that Mogal there has been feeding you, yes?"

Eri looked at Noxel and gently nodded, "He brings me apples…."

If Moogles could sweat, Mogal would be one soaked ball of fuzz as he could feel the rather dangerous look he was getting from his elder, only to have it disappear as quick as it appeared when the Moogle looked back at Eri, "Well, as I'm sure they were quite tasty, you can't just have apples to eat… let's get you some more food and apples, and if you'd like you can tell me how you came to be in our little community."

Eri hesitated for a moment, looking about the different Moogles that were all looking at her, before holding Mogal's closely and gently nodding. Then, with a soft chuckle, Noxel casted another 'float' spell upon the small girl and guided her towards the main cavern where they could eat in peace and for the elder creature could learn of Eri's tale.

After all, he had to report to the 'Good King' once Eri was given a full and healthy meal.

Because if Krile were to find out the child had only been eating apples… No Moogles would survive that massacre.

"Come in!" called out Nezu as he was finishing up a report on his computer, ignoring the apparent staring coming from Toshinori, who was baffled at how quickly the dean could type on a standard-sized keyboard with such tiny hands.

Izuku slowly opened the door and was surprised to see Toshinori as well once he closed it behind him, "Y-you wanted to see me, sir?"

"Good Morning, Mr. Midoriya!" Nezu exclaimed with a sort of happy tone of voice, "Thank you for seeing us so early in the morning, and I can assure you this won't take too long. I trust you had a pleasant time during this previous weekend?"

Izuku blinked, staring at the dean, who was now resting his chin on his paws with a glint within his scarred eye that gave the young hero hopeful pause.

Was the dean teasing him about his date with Tsuyu?!

Before Izuku could even respond to that, a short little cough and clearing of a throat got his attention when he saw Toshinori give the smaller being an exasperated look, as if begging the dean not to harass the boy about his personal life. Nezu caught the glimpse and returned with a silent one that basically read 'let me have my fun' before looking back at Izuku, who was fidgeting in the chair a little with a slight blush on his cheeks.

"Well, enough about that for now; the reason why this little meeting was called was that our good friend here wishes to ask you something," Nezu explained and leaned back in his chair. At the same time, Toshinori slowly got up from his seat, buffing up to his 'All Might' form, and strode himself forward until he was in front of the still sitting Izuku, who looked on in confusion.

"Young Midoriya…" The pro hero had begun to speak, seemingly trying to find the right words as the boy was looking up at the man with both curiosity and awe, "A year ago, we had met after that rather nasty business with that sludge villain, and I had told you something truly unforgivable as the number one pro hero."

Toshinori raised his hand to halt the incoming and inevitable apology that Izuku was about to shout out with a somber look on his face, the smile he was known for not present. Both knew and had reconciled over that year about that particular 'bump' within their personal history of knowing one another, "I understand that you have forgiven me for it, and seen where I was coming from, but what I said still weighs heavily on my mind to this day, and I fear that it will continue to do so for a long time…."

"But, that's not why you were called here today!" All Might suddenly perked up, his smile shining brightly, "for you see, it's also been a year since I declared you my successor, and the chance to inherit my quirk before we were interrupted by Mog and his hammer." All Might said with a slight chuckle at the memory;. However, he was initially confused by the tiny creatures; the older man had grown to not only respect them. Still, he was also happy that they could help him during those first couple of weeks of teaching.

"Regardless, I have been keeping a watchful eye on you, seeing you grow not only in power with your blessing but also seeing you become more confident with yourself and your peers. In that short year of knowing you, I can say with one hundred percent honesty that I am proud of how far you have come, my boy!"

If Izuku was trying to make sure he wasn't crying, he was failing miserably as while he was smiling brightly, the tears kept pouring down his cheeks. Nezu slowly nudged a box of tissues towards his student, who immediately grabbed it and began (and failed) to wipe away the waterworks. All Might smiled brightly while watching, patiently waiting for Izuku to get some control over himself before continuing, "Well, what do you say, my boy? Will you become my successor and inherit 'One for All'?"

Silence filled the room slowly once Izuku had gotten himself calmed down. To be honest with himself, the boy had thought that he would never get this opportunity again after the very admit 'no' from Mog and the dean last time. Izuku looked towards the diminutive being, waiting for any sort of interruption either by Nezu or a surprise Moogle attack, and when neither happened, with the dean just watching the two people in silence as Izuku slowly fidgeted again.

"W-well, barring any sudden ambushes by flying furred creatures." Both teacher and student began to look around to make sure that wasn't going to happen. Once the coast was clear, Izuku looked up to All Might, his idol, and teacher with a look of pure determination, "But for my answer, sir. Yes, I accept-GAHK!"

Of all the things that Izuku in his short life had never expected, well aside from having women crush on him… one having appropriately been asked out after his first date. But he never expected to be suddenly bear-hugged by the number one pro hero and swung around the room while the large blonde man was shouting happily.

"You might want to let your successor go, Toshinori… lest you suffocate him," Nezu spoke while sipping on his tea as the buffed-up man looked down to see Izuku furiously tapping on his arm with his face entirely blue. Quickly lowering the boy back onto his feet, All Might began to pat his back as Izuku coughed harshly while he was struggling to catch his breath.

It took a few minutes before Izuku's complexion returned, and All Might stood proudly once again and was just about to speak when the younger man spoke up, "Um… can I ask one thing… before we continue?"

"Of course, my boy! I know you probably have a million questions, so I can answer a few in the time we have before I give you my quirk."

"T-that's the thing… it's more of a favor than a question." Izuku said with a steeled look in his eyes that made All Might's smile falter for just a moment. At the same time, Nezu leaned forward with his paws together, interested in the favor his student wished to ask.

"I can't believe I'm the last one again!" Izuku cried out as he was dashing towards testing site C wearing his newly updated hero suit. True to what Power Loader had told him the week prior, the design of his suit was relatively the same as it was when he had gotten it. Still, the materials used for its construction were vastly improved upon, with more durability and also fire-resistance added to it. Izuku was happy that Mei hadn't done anything overly crazy with it, given her enthusiasm towards her inventions or anything technological now that he thought about it.

The way she stared and practically drooled over the newly dubbed 'magitek' was a bit terrifying.

Still, that was another thing he was also thinking about regarding his 'normal' hero costume. While his outfits would change between his different kits, ranging from differences in mobility and how durable the varying armors were, case in point, while his Gunbreaker kit was more mobile than his Paladin one, the added shield and stronger armor made up for it.

However, when it came to his actual hero suit, he was essentially fighting quirkless. Not like it was a terrible thing, given he had seen how skilled Aizawa was during the initial moments of the USJ and taking down most if not all of the 'off the street' thugs that were brought there. And while one could argue that Izuku could merely just switch between the different parts of his blessing, Izuku knew that some villains may not give him a chance to change up, or the environment would not allow some of his more devastating kits to be used, similar to why he couldn't use the Dragoon during the battle trials.

Not all villains were brainless and could quickly figure out patterns or how quirks worked, waiting for the opportune time to strike when he was at his weakest.

Tomura Shigaraki and the Nomu creature were proof of that. The latter was more the overall brute strength it had, all because Izuku was trying to initially subdue the beast, which meant he had to hold back.

He did admit that it was a little relaxing to face down a foe that could take a hit from his kits.

Regardless, he would need to discuss with Power Loader and Nezu about augmenting his hero suit with magitek and, barring getting told no, already was thinking about what sort of things he could do or possibly get away with. Izuku had begun to slow down and rubbed his chin deep in thought as he brainstormed, muttering very low as he did so.

"-couldpossiblygivemyselfajumpboosterwiththeproper -GHK!"

Izuku had stumbled backward slightly, having felt a sudden pressure around his neck not only pull him out of his thoughts but also choked him a little. Quickly raising his hand up to take hold of the object that did so, Izuku pulled it away and brought it up to see what had caused him to choke. He blinked as he looked upon a very familiar ear jack, and with a worried look, slowly turned his head to the very red-faced Kyoka who, while also looking mad at him, was doing her best to try and hide the blush on her cheeks.

Izuku was now the one to raise an eyebrow as his analytical mind went into overdrive as to why she was blushing until he realized the reason when one of his fingers idly slid across the surface of the 'cord' of the ear jack, and the girl flinched while turning redder.

Turns out the hypothesis Izuku had about Kyoka's quirk was that her ears were very sensitive and happened to be true.

Izuku let go of the ear jack, which Kyoka quickly retracted, and the boy in green quickly started to apologize only for the very clearly annoyed cough and throat clearing of Aizawa caught their attention, as well as everyone else's who were snickering at the interaction between the two.

"Alright, we wasted enough time waiting for the problem child, so let's get this exercise going." Aizawa said with a pointed look at Izuku, who merely responded with an embarrassed chuckling and rubbing the back of his head, "Now, first off, let me start with talking about the incident at the USJ."

Even stiffened at the mention of the event as Aizawa continued, "Normally, I would have expelled some of you for how you attacked during the crisis." The teacher spoke with a stern tone as his gaze landed upon the three particular individuals that were Bakugo, Kirishima, and Izuku. The latter of two winced and looked down guiltily. At the same time, Bakugo huffed and turned his head away, which in turn caused Aizawa to squint his eyes slightly at the blonde bomber for a moment before continuing.

"But, what transpired should not have happened, plus you all are still first-years at this University and now have been thrust into the reality of being a Pro hero, so your lack of inexperience of going half-cocked will be overlooked this time. But, let me make this very clear when one of the teaching staff or your potential mentor in the internships tells you to do something, glamorous or not, you do it, understood?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Good, now with that being said, I will state that everyone one of you did a decent job during that crisis, and thanks to the quick thinking of several students, were able to access and provide the proper aid to those that needed it, and yes, that includes myself." Aizawa spoke as he now looked towards Tsuyu, Yuga, and Izuku, who were smiling with the praise they received from their teacher, similar to the others that were also beaming bright smiles.

"For today's lesson, we are going to be focusing on a topic that often was overlooked until at least your tail end of your second year, but because of the USJ and the events that transpired, the dean thought fit to, as he put it, 'nip this in the bud' before anyone of you gets any crazy ideas." Aizawa's gaze turned to Izuku, squinting hard at the green-haired boy who flinched at the hostility, "We are going to practice 'lethal' takedowns of opponents."

"Sir!" Tenya suddenly spoke up, chopping the air robotically, while everyone gasped in slight shock at the implications of said exercise, "We are training to be heroes, and it's a commonly known fact that heroes do not kill!"

"Correct, Iida." Aizawa said while putting his hands in his pockets and leaning back, "However, that is a common misconception made up by not only the media but also by the Hero Commission as well."

"Nine times out of ten, a hero will do their utmost to take down a villain with as little to no force necessary, either by talking them down or by merely knocking them out." Aizawa's cold gaze came back as he straightened up and crossed his arms over his chest, "But there is still that one out of ten where sometimes a villain will not go down, or there is no alternative to straight-up killing them, sometimes it can happen by accident, but in most scenarios, it is the decision of the hero to make that call."

"As an underground hero myself, there are times where it is the only option to avoid risking unnecessary civilian casualties. But, it is normally a very last resort, and don't think that regular heroes are exempt from making that sort of call; I can assure you that every hero in the top ten has at least one or two deaths on their hands."

That little tidbit made everyone pale; even the usually stoic Toderoki was shocked by the information as while he knew that Endeavor's 'Hell Flame' could practically melt cars, the number two hero often had many sidekicks that would contain the flames, limiting the collateral damage made, that and Endeavor rarely had to go that hot, due to the toll on his body using that extreme amount of heat.

"That is why we are doing this test today, not only to show each of you that even the most 'seemingly' harmless quirks are just as deadly as the more powerful ones and allow you to know your current limits. We will continue doing this periodically to get better control and develop super moves later on in the year. Now, follow me as we will be doing this one at a time to avoid accidents as well as watching everyone's progress in the monitor room."

[Meanwhile]

"I really wish I could be down there." Toshinori said as he was sitting in the office of the dean, watching Class 1-A begin to pile into the monitoring room before starting the exercise, his baby blue eyes looking over the various screens of the battle area with the few advanced training dummies around the ruined city, "It is my class and I did promise them I'd be putting my all into teaching."

"Very true, but this particular topic is more Aizawa's specialty, knowing when to use lethal force or not." Nezu spoke up while drinking some tea, staring at the screens as well as Aizawa began to explain how the dummies worked and registered 'clean kills', "Not to say you don't know how to hold back or deliver a killing blow, but while you have 'one' under your belt, Shouta has racked up quite the body count over the years. Not that it's something to glorify or dismiss, mind you, but he's had to make that call more times than he wants to admit."

Nezu took another sip of his tea before continuing, "Besides, we still need to set up for that special heroics class you proposed, and this would be a good chance for both you and Midoriya to spend some time apart."

Toshinori raised a skeletal eyebrow at the dean, confused by his statement, "Sir?"

"It's no secret that you have been spending time with the boy's mother, innocent as that is…." Nezu had started to say, causing the gaunt cheeks on the man to blush somewhat, "It wouldn't be surprising for more of his classmates to see some sort of connection between the both of you, considering how much he looks up to you as well as how often you two talk privately with one another, either in your current form or pro hero state. And if four of his classmates were able to realize that Izuku's 'quirk' was anything but… how hard would it be for them to put two and two together and realize he has ties to All Might and that the number one pro hero is you?"

Toshinori sighed heavily at that, leaning forward with his hands together and his chin resting on them. The silence in the room was heavy before Nezu tilted his head gently, "And are you upset he turned down taking One for All until after the sports festival?"

"N-no!" the skinny man rose up out of his stupor, "I admit I was a little surprised at first before he explained as to why he wanted to wait."

"I agree; while I am still a little hesitant of the idea myself, his reasoning is quite sound." Nezu said as he walked up to the screens on the far wall, with his hands behind his back, watching the various reactions of the first couple of students taking down the dummies, "It's clear Izuku is still coming to terms with some aspects of his powers, and it's clearly written on his face that the boy wants to make the blessing his own, moving past the shadow of his predecessor and prove to himself that he is more than his blessing." Nezu turned around to stare at Toshinori, the glow of the screens causing the dean's body to silhouette before the pro hero, "Imagine adding to that with the responsibilities of One for All and trying to surpass you, of all people… I dare say the poor child would have a mental breakdown."

Toshinori nodded silently, sighing heavily again, "And if your suspensions are correct, which no doubt they are… He has returned."

"Indeed, the autopsy of the Nomu creature basically proves that your archenemy is still alive, and further proof that we need to keep Midroya's connection to you a secret for as long as we can… Even with the blessing, I doubt the boy would be able to take on the full strength of All For One without the potential power boost of One For All." Nezu said while walking back to his desk, hopping up onto the chair and sporting that same smile as always, "Now! Let's get back to work on this special heroics class… we have a lot of people to pair up after all."

"Oooowie…" Mina whined gently as she held out her hands, wincing as they throbbed from how potent she had made her acid. Her turn had just finished, and before she went out, she was instructed by Aizawa to use her acid at the highest potency she could. Of course, this had the backlash of her quirk irritating her skin and some parts of her costume to be slightly burned by the attack when she released it.

Thank god it didn't rip on her way back or when she sat against the wall when the next student was called.

She pouted as she watched Bakugo effortlessly obliterate the targets on the monitor, frowning at the lack of any sort of backlash from how big those explosions were. Her dour thoughts disappeared when she heard the gentle throat-clearing of Izuku as he was kneeling down beside her, "Hey Mina… how are your hands?"

"Hey, they are really sore… I can't believe the explode-a-brain is causing more damage than I did with a blast of my acid, and he doesn't look to be feeling any of the negative effects of overuse! It's totally not fair."

"I-I don't know about that…." Izuku spoke gently as he began to take off his gloves, reaching to a pouch on his belt and pulled out a small tube of some kind, "Bakugo's trained his body to negate the kickback of his quirk since you know… literal explosions… but there will always still be some soreness once his adrenaline wears off, so might wanna just relax in your room tonight and avoid him, since he will be far more irritable until tomorrow at the very least."

Mina merely blinked as Izuku explained all this, completely forgetting just how much of a personality shift it was when he went into his 'analysis mode', and Mina was silent as the boy unscrewed the cap on the tube and squeezed a little of the cream onto her arm, just above her wrist. The pink alien looking girl shivered slightly from the sudden coolness of the product before she felt a slight warmth and a gentle purple blush slowly formed on her cheeks as she watched Izuku start to move his hands up and down her hands and lower part of her forearm, working in the cream but also giving her a massage of sorts.

"This is a type of lotion, made for skin irritation and burns." Izuku suddenly spoke up, his eyes focusing on his work. Still, he could feel the golden irises of the girl who he was treating look upon him.

"And.. you keep something like that on your hero suit?"

"Not just this, but also various other first-aid items, figured it would come in handy when I'm not in one of my kits."

"But…" Mina frowned in confusion, "Can't you just heal anything with that one power that has you all dressed up in white?"

"... I could…" Izuku spoke gently once again, slowly running his fingers very gently and cautiously between hers, "But using the white mage takes a lot of the aether within my body, and while my Paladin, Gunbreaker, and Red Mage kits can heal as well. I doubt anyone wants a sword waving around their face."

Mina giggled gently as Izuku removed his hands from hers, and with the bright smile he was known for, he looked at her and continued, "There, how does that feel?"

Mina gently flexed her fingers slowly, rotating her hands and wrists, and beamed the boy a smile to match the brightness of his own, "Like a hundred percent, Izuku! You were very gentle while working in the lotion. How did you get so good?"

"A-ah…" Izuku paused, slowly looking down, and his facial expression grew somber, "W-well... You know that they say… p-practice makes perfect?"

Mina frowned at that, thinking about it for a few moments before her eyes went wide in shock and looked sadly at the green-haired boy, "Oh Izuku... I'm so sorry! I didn't think-"

"Mina." The boy interrupted her, the somber look gone and replaced with a gentle smile this time when he was looking directly into her eyes, "It's fine, it's in the past, and we can't change that… and I know you didn't mean anything bad by it, but in hindsight, it is a good skill I picked up and one I can use to help soothe any pain you or the others get from overuse of your quirks."

Mina was staring back into his eyes, mouth agape in awe, not daring to look away as he gave her the explanation, her mind going to the obvious 'not so innocent' thoughts she would often think when it came to her crush. But slowly, her lips curled into a very sly looking smirk as she spoke lowly and huskily at Izuku, "You know, a girl could get used to that sort of treatment… especially being 'handled' the way I was when you were working in the lotion."

Izuku looked confused for a moment, a slight blush on his cheeks from Mina's tone of voice. Still, he eventually got her meaning, and the little blush went atomic, "O-oh, I-I didn't mean to... I-I'm sor-"

Mina's giggling while she pressed a finger to his lips instantly stopped any sort of muttered apology as the alien girl smiled brightly and fondly at the boy, "Hehe, I just love making you blush, Izuku… it's so gosh darn cute." She took her finger away, and her smile shifted to a more gentle one, "Before I forget, though, I would like some help after dinner tonight, if you got some time?"

"Huh? O-Oh sure, w-what's up?"

Mina slowly looked away, scratching her cheek, "Well… I have a feeling I may have bombed that surprise math quiz this morning. So I was wondering if you could possibly tutor me a little? Ectoplasm's classes are so dull, and he doesn't make the material interesting at all!"

Izuku smirked at her reasoning, and as he was about to agree, he heard the monotone call of 'problem child' from Aizawa. He turned his head towards his teacher with a simple nod before looking back at Mina, "S-Sure, we can talk about where we can study after class if you'd like."

Mina gave him a firm nod while smiling at him as he rose up to the ground and went quickly towards their teacher. As she was about to think of some of the other 'fun' things they could do during the study session, Mina gasped and jumped when she felt something jab her side. Quickly looking to her left, she saw the not amused look of Kyoka looking down at her, "Don't even think it."

"What? I legit need help with math!" Mina exclaimed, looking scandalized for a moment before pouting and huffing as Kyoka glared at her, "Well, I do! And it's not like I wouldn't do anything to make him feel uncomfortable!"

"Good, still doesn't mean I'm going to leave him alone with you before he takes you out on your date." Kyoka said as she sat beside Mina, who hung her head in defeat, "That and I wouldn't mind some help with math as well… seriously, what is it with Ectoplasm and his surprise quizzes all the time?"

"I know, right?!"

Aizawa sighed heavily as he trudged up the stairs to his apartment. Today had been an extremely long day due to taking over for All Might's afternoon heroics class, which had cut into his usual time to nap and rest up for his nightly patrols. He took out his keys from his pocket and unlocked the door, shuffling inside quickly and locking it once he was entirely in and looked down to see a pair of green cat eyes looking up at him, "Nice try, but don't think you'll sneak out as easily as last time."

"Shouta?" a voice gently called out, sounding tired and weary, "Is that you, boo?"

Aizawa took off his shoes, remaining silent until he walked into the living room of his apartment, seeing the tv playing the most recent news of the day while the coffee table had various empty food containers strewn about its surface, his tired gaze soon spotted the hand move up from behind the back cushion of the couch as he stepped into the room and gently held it with his own, "If I was an intruder, you'd be in a lot of trouble right now."

"If you WERE one, you'd be flat on your butt laughing until you peed your pants." spoke the woman who was looking up at him with a sly smirk on her lips, her seafoam green hair sprawled out on the pillow where her head rested. She smiled as the erasure hero walked around the couch and gently lifted up her legs to sit in 'his spot' before she placed them back down onto his lap, "I'm shocked you're even home this early; I normally wouldn't see you until after midnight… Long day?"

"You could say that as I had to cover for the oaf today, but not without a logical reason… Nezu decided that the first years are going to be starting 'lethal' training to help them better gauge their power output, as well to give the students strong decision-making skills so they will know what to do if anything like the USJ happened again."

The woman frowned, trying to sit up but was gently pushed back down by Aizawa, so she resorted to puffing up her cheeks, "You make it sound like what happened could happen again."

"I'll admit, we were caught with our pants down, but a quirk like that black mist that can teleport is not something one can really counter… though whatever Nezu did to improve the security gates around the school seems to have worked in theory at least. And we have already begun to rethink how we are doing summer training camp."

"I just hope you decide to bring me this time." The woman said with another huff and puffing out of her cheeks, her arms crossed over her chest as she spoke, "I understand why I couldn't go last year, given you didn't have a class and I was still teaching at Ketsubutsu, but I'm sure you can see the 'logic' for me coming this year…."

"Emi…"

"Don't 'Emi' me, buster!" she suddenly said with a squint in her eyes, poking his arm with her finger, "You knew this was going to happen when we figured out the approximate due date. Besides, your kids are going to find out not only about us eventually, but also this."

Gently taking the arm she was poking, Emi pulled it so that his hand rested upon her rather large and pregnant stomach. As his warm hand rested there, Aizawa idly began to rub her belly only to feel a kick that caused Emi to burp slightly, "Oof… see? Even he agrees."

Aizawa sighed gently, still idly rubbing his wife's pregnant stomach before gently nodding his head, "Fine… I can see your logic in it, but it's up to Nezu to make the final call."

"Obviously… now." Emi slowly swung her legs off of Shouta's lap, trying to lift herself up with the aid of her husband's help, "How about we take this golden opportunity to get some rest, and you can tell how the 'problem child' did today while I get to be snuggled from behind by my grumpy spoon." She beamed a bright smile at him, slowly and carefully lifting herself off of the couch, once again with aid from Shouta, and began to head towards their bedroom with her holding his hand and pulling him along, giggling at the guttural groans and 'complaints' coming from him.

The More You know: Final Fantasy XIV

Warrior of Light: Warriors of Light, or "Hydaelyn's Chosen" are people of different walks of life that have been given a blessing done by the Crystalline Goddess known as Hydaelyn. Normally, when one is blessed, they receive a power known only as an 'Echo' which varies between each individual, i.e. while one could look upon scenes from the past at random moments, another could see future events before they transpire.

In regards to the story of FFXIV, while there are many of those blessed by Hydaelyn, there is only one person that is ever known as the "Warrior of Light", as they are usually the one to slay the strongest of beasts, defeat the god-like Primals, or put an end to the plans and machinations of the "Ascians", beings who worship and follow the god of darkness known as "Zodiark".

Crystals: In the world of Eorzea, the land is filled with a magical force known as aether, and when a good amount of it is built up, the aether will physically manifest itself into a crystal. Primarily, crystals are composed of the elemental forces of Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Ice, and Lightning. They can be drained of their elemental aspect when in use of synthesizing items or used as weapon ammunition.

Hydaelyn: Goddess of Light, she is often referred to be called "the Crystal" or "the Mothercrystal". She shares her name with the world where the events of FFXIV take place, which she created. Though a Sentient Crystal, they are deity-like figures that tend to govern not only the world's elemental forces but also the cycles of incarnation when deemed necessary.
