Hey, author here!
This chapter took a little longer to come out due to me having less free time to write but what matters is that it still came out, The next chapter is probably coming within the next two or three weeks though it might be delayed since my second semester is coming around.
Now let's go for the comments.
MartianGod: I see that a lot of people have been commenting on how Artoria should act and saying how I'm misunderstanding her character I'm just going to say this: Everyone seems to have their own understanding of Artoria's and I have my own, I won't change how I write her and I understand if people don't enjoy it. This is the last time I will address this matter.
Inhyun: Despite how harsh I sound I don't actually hate or dislike either Midoriya or Bakugo that much. It just frustrates me how much wasted potential there is between those two characters.
SentinalSlice: Many things about how her school-related problems weren't elaborated on because there is no actual need to it holds no relevance to how things will progress in the fic.
tl34lt12: I haven't thought much about divergences yet, but in the next chapter something significant will happen that will probably reshape many of the future arcs, some may even disappear because of it.
antonioranza: Thanks. The last chapter had way less character-to-character interaction simply because many things were happening and I didn't want to overextend the chapter with pointless conversations.
.wchl: I understand you, man. There were a few times I would read reviews about something that caught my interest and they were destroying it but when I actually ended up picking the novel to read I found myself enjoying it a lot.
with everything said, i hope you enjoy the chapter!
*Chapter start*
"NOW, WHO CAN TELL ME THE MVP OF THIS MATCH?" All Might asks.
Without waiting for permission Artoria says with certainty, surprising Momo. "It was undoubtedly Momo-san."
"REALLY? WHY DO YOU THINK SO?" All Might asks once more, this time more curious, Artoria's reasoning seems to be clashing with his.
"It is simple. Momo-san's existence itself would grant her MVP status regardless of the situation. She is a walking resource pack that can change the rules of the game quite easily as long she has enough energy to produce anything. Any and all strategies and plans become viable as long she is around." Artoria explains her reasoning.
"But if it weren't for you I would have never thought of going with that kind of plan. If it were me I would probably go with some kind of direct confrontation." Momo says trying to pass the MVP to Artoria.
"The plan only happened because we had access to an endless amount of resources, had it been anyone else in your place I would have been forced to actually fight, significantly decreasing my chances to win the battle trial." Artoria exaggerates to prove her point.
'I brute force my way through this trial but that would make things pointless for the rest of the participants.'
"IT SEEMS I FORGOT TO CONSIDER YOUNG ARTORIA'S POINT. WHAT A SHAME." Admitting to committing a mistake All Might shakes his head in disappointment.
"DURING HERO WORK YOU RARELY GET TO CHOOSE WITH WHO YOU ARE GOING TO WORK, WHERE, AND WHEN. FURTHERMORE, BECAUSE I RARELY WORK WITH PEOPLE I FORGOT TO THINK IN THAT CONTEXT. FROM THE VILLAINS' POINT OF VIEW, THEY HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD, AND WITH YOUNG MOMO ALL THE RESOURCES IN THE WORLD, PLAINLY SPEAKING WHAT YOUNG ARTORIA SAID IS TRUE, NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCE YOUNG MOMO WOULD BE THE CENTERPIECE OF ANY PLAN. GUNS, TRAPS, BOMBS, CHEMICALS, AND ALL SORTS OF RESOURCES ALL THAT IS POSSIBLE IF THEY GIVE YOUNG MOMO ENOUGH TIME TO PRODUCE IT THAT IS ALSO VALID FOR THE HERO SIDE TOO." All Might explains to the rest of the students.
"It is almost unfair to have Momo-san in these kinds of exercises unless the opponent has a tremendous amount of power to barge through any kind of plan, fighting Momo-san with time to prepare her battleground is near impossible. The very fact that we held back on what Momo-san created on the exercise and still won proves that."
"Held back?" From the back of the room, Todoroki says with a visible frown.
Looking over at the boy Artoria says. "Todoroki-san, right? Your quirk gives you control over ice right?" Giving it a pause Artoria waits until the boy nods with a confused face. "Good, it is a powerful quirk, had we not used the clocks as a deterrent to your powers you could just freeze us from several meters away quite easily as long you knew where we were." Pausing once more Artoria smirks at Todoroki. "But are you immune to poison? Can you even see if there is poison in a room? And that is just an example, in the end, we are all humans and smart enough people will play around with your common vulnerabilities instead of just brute forcing with their quirk."
At her words, not only Todoroki but all the other students lower their heads in thought. This was the first time they got a reality check on their own ambitions and their strengths. In their fantasies of heroism, they seemed to forget their own mortality, no matter how powerful their quirks were a single random bullet could end their career.
"WELL… YES, WE ALWAYS HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT NO MATTER HOW STRONG YOUR QUIRK IS THE CONTAINER IS JUST HUMAN… THAT'S A GOOD LESSON TO LEARN STUDENTS. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE PREPARED AND CURB ANY REMAINING ARROGANCE." All Might says awkwardly trying to lift the word mood Artorias left the room in.
"But you guys… won't have too much about that kind of people. Not only are they rare but when they show up they are usually taken out by people like All MIght." Artoria says embarrassed after noticing how her words brought the mood down.
"THAT'S RIGHT. BUT ALSO DON'T GET DESMOTIVATED, YOU ARE ALL HEROES IN TRAINING IT IS TRUE THAT NOW ALL THESE VILLAINS MIGHT LOOK SCARY BUT ONCE YOU START TO EXPERIENCE AND LEARN TAKING THOSE GUYS OUT WILL BECOME A SECOND NATURE, WE MUST REMEMBER EVERYONE HAS TO START SOMEWHERE THAT WAS THE SAME FOR ME AND EVERYONE ELSE IN MY TIME AND IT IS THE SAME FOR YOU TOO." Using the breach Artoria gave him and his immense charism All MIght is able to lift the students' moods, bringing the light of competition back in their eyes.
Looking at his watch All Might says regretfully but also hurriedly. "UNFORTUNATELY OUR TIME IS UP FOR TODAY'S CLASS. I'LL BE SENDING THE VIDEO LINKS OF THIS CLASS IN CASE SOMEONE WANTS TO REVIEW IT. FOR NOW, I'LL BE SEEING HOW YOUNG MIDORIYA IS FARING AND ALSO GIVE HIM AN OVERVIEW OF THE REST OF THE CLASS SINCE HE MISSED IT."
Dismissing his students All MIght leaves first in a hurry, probably worried about Midoriya. Meanwhile, all the other students leave for the vestiary to change their suits after bathing.
"But that was crazy Pen-chan. It almost seemed like you were reading their minds, it was amazing looking at how your plan unfolded through the surveillance room." Mina is the first to talk after exiting the vestiary in her normal student uniform.
"That's not that impressive. If you also had Momo-san and stopped to think for a second what kind of things you could do with her quirk in those kinds of situations then you would notice how easy it is to come up with all sorts of plans." Artoria says deflecting.
"Hehhh… so you are saying the same thing as Momo-san yesterday, at this point, there will be nothing that Momo-san doesn't excel at." Asui says, earning a laugh from everyone.
*Scene break*
"So what do you guys think about the freshmen this year?" Nezu opens the school year's first meeting with the same question he always does.
"As we discussed before, this year had many more promising students and all of them already started to show signs of that even in their first hero class." Sekijiro Kan, known as the hero Vlad King, gives the opening statement praising the students.
"1-A is not different, although I wasn't there personally during their first class I saw some glimpses of their abilities during the first day. Toshinori-sansei can talk more about that." Aizawa seconds before passing the ball to All Might.
"Humm… as both teachers said the students this year are amazing, not only in their quirks but also in how they use them, while they are still a bit rough on the edges and prone to act before thinking things through, this was their first time dealing with the hero training so that can be excused." Taking a pause Toshinori then says with a slight frown. "I'm a bit worried about two students, Bakugo-kun and Monoma-kun. They've both shown to be extremely prideful, while Monoma-kun hasn't received a reality check yet Bakugo-kun did and I'm not sure how well he is faring."
"That always happens every year All MIght. Is not that worrisome. If those students have what it takes they will soon recover and start to climb back to the top." Midnight says. "I'm more worried about that boy Izuki-kun. He already spent two entire afternoons at the nurse's office. If he doesn't get his quirk over control soon we might have to do something else…"
All MIght flinchs over Midnight's words choosing to remain silent and afraid of reveling too much by saying something, something Aizawa wasn't.
"I believe the boy has potential, he just needs some time to adjust. He probably was never able to train his quirk properly in fear of hurting himself but despite that, he still showed remarkable ability and most of all he has some of the best defining traits of a hero… while I still think that if he doesn't get his quirk under control soon we should expel him… for now, we also haven't given enough help that he probably needs." As always Aizawa is very passionate about his students in his own way.
"The student that is worrying me more right now is another. Artoria-san."
"Hmm? Why? She has shown no problems with interacting with her peers, and no arrogance or pride, she might be a bit blunt but she also seems to care about her colleagues." All Might ask genuinely surprised by Aizawa's words.
"It is just a hunch, there is just something off about her. I'm not sure what it is yet, that's why I'm saying it here it would be appreciated if you could help looking after her." Aizawa says while bowing his head to the other teachers.
'That girl is just too weird, despite showing exceptional tactical thinking during the hero session she got confrontational with her teacher after he rebutted her and even acted childishly out of spite. Despite having the perfect opportunity to compete with her peers and prove herself she chooses to self-sabotage, despite being in a hero school she shows to care very little about hero-related things. When talking she always makes sure to be understood but when it comes to her future as a hero and the likes she becomes vague. The more I look at her the more it seems like being here is just a means to achieve something else completely unrelated.'
"That shouldn't be hard we usually monitor the exchange students at the start of the year anyway. Speaking of which what about the one in class 1-B? Tsunotori, right?" Present Mic asks Vlad.
"She is doing fine, despite not speaking as well as some of the other foreign students she is not being excluded or anything of the like. This year we were also lucky in that regard, none of the students in the hero course seem to participate in bullying."
"Anything about the senior years?" Nezu asks.
"Not much, just the same as every start of the year. Many students after vacation got a little slow or less fit but that's the norm… besides that… that kid Emiya hasn't come to school again." Cementross comments.
Massaging his non-exstant brow Nezu says. "Why our biggest problem child is an overachiever? Sometimes I regret giving him that recommendation letter."
"You talking about the winner of last year's U.A Festival? Emiya Shirou is right… I've met him quite a few times while patrolling he can be quite erratic with his outings." All MIght adds.
"Yes and if you meet him again tell him to come to school." Cementross says slightly pissed. "I know that kid is only doing good but he is also passing a bad example to his classmates, many are starting to think like him when approaching their future work life, that may work for the boy but I doubt it will for the rest."
"Maybe you should talk to him Toshinori. He is pretty similar to you when he was your age. Maybe you can talk some sense into him and make him enjoy the life you didn't." Recovery Girl says bluntly.
"I… will see what I can do." All Might says awkwardly after being called out of nowhere.
The meeting goes on for several more minutes but Aizawa just half-listens to it, not being the priority on his mind even after it he still looks quite out of it.
"Still thinking about the exchange student?" Present Mic one of his oldest friends asks him by his side.
"Is it that obvious?"
"No. I just known you for over a decade now so I can read you well, so… what you are thinking of doing? Something like last year?"
"No, I simply can't. Those kids had an overflowing pride that needed to be tamed so that they could become better heroes, I'm not sure that threatening her future as a hero would affect her much. I just don't know what she cares or what she wants to do and that bothers me."
"Sounds to me like you're projecting a lot of bad stuff just because you can't understand her. What is she? A criminal." Slightly baffled Present Mic says both half-joking.
"Of course not. But many kids don't want to be here, they are forced. I just hope she is not one of those." Aizawa says with a soft voice, he has seen many heroes hating the way their lives turned out to be because they pursued dreams that weren't theirs.
"You're talking about that thing back in the entrance exam? Isn't it just rumors?" Present Mic says while remembering the conversation between Aizawa and Nezu.
"I'm not sure I don't even remember when I got to know them, I prefer not to get involved with those. But one thing is for sure something about that girl's family they are fishy."
*Scene break*
"U-Um miss what can you tell me about having classes with All MIght?" Standing far from the school gate my reporters wait for the students to pass, hoping to ask about the new U.A teacher All MIght.
Looking down at the woman that approached her Artoria notices the nervousness in her and also her lingering gaze. "And you would be?"
"H-Himiko Toko, channel 8… so do you have to say anything about All MIght?" The woman stutters once more finding it hard to keep her composure in front of the girl in facing her.
Standing taller than most japanese men her clear foreigner traits make Artoria a very intimidating figure to approach but her unrivaled beauty also makes people unable to not look at her, making her a prime example to be interviewed on national television. That doesn't make it easier to get through her natural stoic expression.
"Hmm… he… is fine I guess. I've only had one class in which he participated, so I can't judge how good he is as a teacher or as a person." Responding calmly Artoria resumes her walk, ignoring the expectant looks from the reporter behind her.
'I've shown courtesy enough I supposed.'
Passing the myriad of students trying to get through the reporters and Aizawa warding them off Artoria safely reaches the classroom and takes her seat.
'What are the odds he is missing today too?'
"Okay, class I got your marks and evaluation from yesterday's battle trial. I've also watched the footage. As your homeroom teacher let me pass you some of my wisdom." Looking directly into Bakugo's eyes Aizawa says. "Bakugo, stop acting like a kid. You're the only one wasting their talents here and Midoriya, how long do you pretend to have your limbs like that? If you keep going like that the only places you will get in life is the hospital. I've already said it if you keep with that mentality that "I have no other choice" you will never improve." Finishing his scolding Aizawa returns to stare at the rest of the students. "The rest of the class did well, this was your first exercise and the first time you fought another human being with your quirks, I hope, it is natural to not know what to do and when to do it. Yesterday's class was just so that you guys could get a feeling of how things work here at U.A, Next time I will be less forgiving in my evaluation."
Aizawa waits a few seconds to let his words set in before saying with a frown. "Now to our next topic… I'm sorry to bring this up but…"
A dejected sigh escapes from the man's lips increasing the tension between the students already getting used to this man's mannerisms. "But we must elect a class president."
Like a bubble, the tension created by the man exploded and in turn, was replaced by pure excitment.
"I want to be the class president."
"I want to do it too."
"I was the class president in middle school."
In less than a second more than half of the class raised their hands volunteering to be the class president.
'Funny from my experience most students dread being the class president. Is this the hero differential?'
"Be quiet everyone. Being a class president can't be decided by just wanting to be it. It is a position that requires one to be responsible for all his peers, you will have to carry everyone's trust and pull some of the weight of your fellow students. The president must be recognized by everyone and to do so a democratic choice that reflects the people's trust must be made… so I propose that we select our class leader through a vote." With his loud voice standing out among the rest of the students Tenya Iida makes a proposition.
"But nobody knows each other yet."
"Yeah everybody is just going to vote themselves."
"That's okay. Because the person to get one more vote is the person meant to be the class president since he would be the only one to get someone's trust. Is that okay Aizawa-sensei?" Tenya explains while also asking for the teacher's permission.
"As long as you guys decide within the deadline." Getting himself inside his personal cocoon Aizawa says while drifting to sleep.
"Okay, now everybo-"
"Before we start I want to say that I won't be running for class president, just in case someone wants to vote for me." Interrupting Iida Artoria declares her non-participation.
"U-Um… okay. So… everybody pick a piece of paper and write the name of the person you find to be fit for the class president position." Letting the little embarrassing moment behind Iida resume with the class election.
'I'll vote for him. I don't think it matters that much but at least he seems passionate about it and it is easy to see how much he respects the position, so it is a safe choice.'
"So these are the results…" Writing on the classroom blackboard Tenya shows a a surprised expression after seeing the final result. "It is a draw between Momo-san, me, and Midoriya-kun each with two votes. It seems we will have to revote to decide who will be the class president and the vice president."
After a redraw the results come out much to Lida's disappointment. "Momo-san congratulations on winning the elections and congratulations to Midoriya-kun for being elected as vice."
Despite his clear disappointment, Iida is the first one to graduate the two and claps for the two.
"Very well now that things have been decided clean up and prepare for the next class." Aizawa says while exiting his cocoon and walking towards the classroom door. "After class, the two should come to the teacher's room so that they can get the briefing on their duties."
*Scene break*
"So who did you vote Artoria-san?" Momo asks with expectant eyes, as Artoria casually eats the abnormal amount of food in front of her.
"Tenya-kun both times. He seemed to be the one that wanted it the most but also the one with the most integrity." Artoria says somewhat sorry to disappoint the girl in front of her.
"Oh, I guess so." Momo replies dispirited.
"Pff, getting all disheartened already? Must I remind you that from now on you are partially responsible for Bakugo and whatever shenanigans he comes up with." Artoria says with a slight smile.
"Oh…" Momo expresses with horror.
"Hahaha, good luck class president, oh, and I hope Midoriya-kun mans up a little. Midoriya is not the kind to impose himself on others, heck sometimes he is barely able to talk normally with people. That's not even counting the fact that when he comes back with broken arms or legs the person that will have to do his part of the work will be you." Artoria smiles heartily as Momo's expression distorts more and more.
"You seem to be having fun." Momo says pouting cutely.
"My bad, it's that this situation is just too nostalgic for me." Artoria says frankly.
"Nostalgic? Were you the class president back in your middle school?" Momo asks curiously, of all the class 1-A girls Artoria is by far the most reserved.
"No… and yes? I served as class president during middle school but I was referring to when I was the school's student committee president during high school." Artoria speakers casually.
"Huh? High school…"
"I'll be nineteen this year. Last year when I was in the third year of high school I decided that I would instead come study here at U.A, so this isn't my first rodeo."
'If my last farewell taught me something, it is often better to be at the forefront with yourself. And to be honest I just don't want to come up with weird excuses as to why I'm not the same age as the other kids.'
"I'm sorry…" Momo says with her head lowered.
"Why? It was me who brought the topic, I came here through my own will, there is no need to worry about me." With a reassuring smile, Artoria comforts her.
"If you say so…" Despite still having an uncomfortable look in her eyes Momo asks. "But how was it? Being the school council president? When I was young I always used to fantasize about it."
"Hmm… how was it?"
'Compared to when I ruled as a king, not as scary.'
"It's a tough work and an ungrateful one. You won't have people thanking you and they will always bring their mess to your doorstep so that you can solve for them. But it was also rewarding in its own way, especially when you had someone to share the suffering with you." Artoria says with nostalgia overflowing through her eyes.
"It sounds like you had good company." Momo says with a smile also on her face Artoria's expression seemingly contagious.
"Yeah, I had."
'Both times.'
"But that is surprising, I didn't think you were the kind to become a student council president." Momo says with a pondering expression.
"Really? Why do you think so?" Artoria asks curiously.
"Hmm… don't get me wrong you certainly have a certain aura of leadership around you, you just look much more mature than those around you but… it might be because I just came to know you but you act a bit distant like… when you talk to people you only do so out of politeness." Momo says nervously while looking at Artoria.
Looking at the girl looking at her with uncertainty Artoria smiles casually.
'I guess there is no harm in telling her.'
"I just act that way because I won't be staying here for long, a few months at best. Compared to other students here at U.A I have a different goal than most students, and once I accomplish it for better or worse I won't be staying long." Artoria says calmly.
"But what will you do after that? That would be the second time you would be dropping out of school, right?"
"Nowadays getting a high school certificate is not that important when deciding your future career. Furthermore, there are many ways to get that piece of paper even without finishing school properly." Artoria once again states without any alteration in her voice.
"I see…" With her head slightly lowered momo resumes eating her food.
Shaking her head Artoria prefers to remain silent.
'There is nothing I can do about that but at least she will know in the future when I don't come to school there is a reason why. At times like this is bes-'
"ATTENTION"
"SECURITY LEVEL 3 HAS BEEN BREACHED."
"STUDENTS PLEASE EVACUATE PROMPTLY."
With the sudden announcement of a possible threat, and all the second and third-year students panic and start running to the cafeteria exit, leaving the stunned first-years behind.
"What should we d-" Hurriedly standing up Momo tries to leave like the rest but is interrupted by Artoria.
"First things first, calm down." Calmly standing up Artoria says. "I don't know what a security breach of level 3 is but judging by how all the senior students are evacuating through the north exit it seems the problem is at the school gate. But more importantly despite the breach, there is a lack of urgency and further instructions, if the situation were to be too dangerous someone from the staff would provide further instructions or at least explain the situation better."
'Furthermore, this is U.A we are talking about here when they have even a single opportunity to spend money they go all in. Judging by the fact the entire building didn't become a mobile fortress or something like that, proves the situation outside is safe.'
"Either way the school probably judged that things were okay and sent the breach announcement just to be safe. We are going to exit last to avoid getting dragged by the other students." Getting up Artoria motions with her hands so that Momo follows her.
"Mm, okay." Following Artoria they both wait by the side of the north exit and just as most students exit to the main hallway they walk in to notice that the chaotic situation before dissipated, now instead of panicking most students look straight off pissed at something.
"What happened?" Momo asks someone who seems to be trying to return to the cafeteria.
"Tsk, it was just the press outside causing a ruckus." With a brief explanation, the student returns with an annoyed look.
"See, nothing to get worried about." After throwing a 'I told you so card' Artoria follows the annoyed student back to the cafeteria. "Let's go I'm kinda hungry still."
Without a pinch, lunchtime passed with students either going to the classroom earlier not trying to venture through the sea of people back to the cafeteria, or students who still wanted to eat.
Returning to the classroom after lunch both Momo and Midoriya go to the front to start their finish their acceptance ceremony.
"Hum…before we start can I have a word president Momo?" Midoriya asks shyly.
"Sure." Nodding Momo gives the floor to Midoriya.
"Hmm… after today's incident and after thinking a lot I concluded that I would like to pass my role as the class vice-president to IIda-san. While I stood frozen unable to do anything IIda-san stood out and took the lead to unify everyone back at the hallway frenzy. It is my judgment that he would do a better job than me at leading us." With an admiring look on his face, Midoriya tries to pass his duties off to IIda.
"Yeah, Midoriya is right. He was so cool back there."
"I wouldn't mind having him as our class representative."
After Midoriya's rousing speech and the acceptance of all his classmates, Iida could only humbly accept his new position. "If that is what this class wishes then I will accept it."
"Pfft." Looking at the scene happening in front of her Artoria does her best to hold her laughter after seeing Momo repeatedly nod her head in affirmation of the Midoriya's proposal.
"You got lucky after all." Artoria mutters with a small smile while looking at the blue sky outside.
Meanwhile, several teachers stand at the school entrance looking rather perplexed.
"Could any ordinary reporter do this?" No. 13 asks.
"This definitely doesn't look like the press." Power loader comments after seeing the front gate turned into dust.
"I wouldn't put this above them. They are the kind to do anything for a scoop but at the same time this is just too much." Midnight says.
"I agree. One thing is to lightly harass the students the other is to blow up the front gate of one of the most important public institutions of the country. Even they know that is a horrible idea especially so when there is nothing much to get out of this." Principal Nezu explains his opinion.
"Shall we inform the students?" Powe Load asks the principal.
"Not for now. This could create a lot of unnecessary panic and it is still too early to say anything about this incident… but… we better get ready for the worst. whoever did this is either an idiot or someone with the balls to declare war on the entirety of the country." Nezu says with a somber expression.
"Then I will call the boy in. Given the situation, he will come and with his quirk, we will at least have the name of whoever did this." Power Load says seeking permission from the principal.
With a smile on his face, Nezu replies favorably. "Yes do that. And will also have him back at school after discussing this with him."
*Scene break*
After washing her dinner dishes she puts them in the dryer while filled with thought about another rather eventful day she had at the hero school.
'Sometimes I forget how dangerous this world can actually be. Some random reporter could pulverize through two meters of pure metal like it was nothing if that was really just the press, I doubt that was just some dumb journalist thinking too highly of himself.'
"Well, I'm sure the school will figure things out." Finishing all the shores for the day Artoria somehow finds herself walking outside to the apartment balcony.
"It has been six months already…" Artoria mutters slightly as she searches for the light of the bright white moon.
"No.. it has been way longer… since coming to this world I've waited. Hoping that…" She grips the metal railing tightly but also weakly, her impassive and powerful presence now faint almost disappearing. "When I woke up not on Avalon but on this world… even now I can barely remember how I lived through those days… but then I saw you again…"
The moon shining its light down on Artoria's visage reveals only the fragility of someone who lost more than enough.
"I just… hope that when the day comes… this hope of mine doesn't vanish like a simple madman's delusion. Our promise still holds no matter how far apart we are, so that we could be…" Holding out on her last words with trembling lips she lowers her head unable to gaze upon the moon's beauty. "Because… I don't know what to do if even that is taken away from me."
*Chapter end*
And that's it the last chapter before the U.S.J attack. Being honest this chapter was just so I could get some of the cannon events out of the way before getting into the really cool parts of the anime.
By the way guys do you prefer the use of japonese honorifics like san, kun, sensei, etc. Because if you don't mind I might just not write them down(it can be quite tiring keeping track of them).
Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
