   The USJ incident ended when teachers came, but what welcomed them was not their students getting beaten up - it's actually the other way around. Saotome Ako and Nanakura Koharu had both defeated the villains. Shigaraki and Kurogiri escaped with fatal injuries all over their bodies.

Those girls didn't go easy on them.

  It would seem that the attack was the other way around. Nevertheless, the heroes are glad no one was hurt - except for Aizawa and Thirteen.

  "I'm glad you're all fine." All might said to the class and looked at Ako and Koharu, "You two did a great job as well."

"N-No, we just helped." Koharu blushed at the compliment but Ako raised her head high and smiled.

"We're glad to be of help, desu wa!"

While the villains who remained inside the USJ is bought back by the polices, there's also a media in live. Reporting about the USJ incident of Class 1A.

Ako looked around and saw Todoroki staring at his left hand, looking lonely. Walking towards him without hesitation, she tapped his shoulder and faced him with her soft smiles.

"I apologize for making you use your fire on me, Todoroki-kun."

Todoroki stared at her for awhile before shaking his head, "No, it's fine. You seem just fine."

"Well, ofcourse!"

"But may I ask why you knew of my fire side? I know i never showed my fire." He had a suspicious expression as he stared at Ako's face infront of him.

  Ako contemplated whether she should tell him that she can figure it out by just looking at his left side? Would it be offending?

"Erm, I don't really know. I just know that you had a fire quirk because you felt warm whenever I'm at your left side." Ako scratched her cheeks and averted her eyes to the side.

"You're not reminded of Endeavor by my left side?" He suddenly asked out of the blue, which confused Ako. Is she supposed to know of this person? Why is he suddenly bringing someone up in the conversation?

"I'm sorry - who's that?"

  Her response were unexpected, who would have  know that she doesn't know who Endeavor is, the number 2 hero? He wanted to chuckle in amusement but what came out of his face is a small smile. He somewhat felt relieve.

"It's nothing." He walked away with a smile on his face, while reminiscing the moments that Ako used to stare at his left side, complementing his blue eyes. So, she truly saw him as he is. Not by the image of his father.

Meanwhile, Ako is left questioning her life. "Did he just smile?!" She whispered yelled. Ako felt like she had received such an award after a long fight.

After realizing what happened, her smile grew wider. "He smiled!"

  She blushed for a little as the picture of his smiling face bathed in the setting sun - engraved in her brain. He should really smile often, it's beautiful.

"Ako-chan, you seem to like Todoroki-san. Huh?" Koharu appeared behind Ako with a teasing smile on her face.

Ako flinched in surprise but recovered fast after hearing Koharu's soothing voice, laced in a teasing manner.

"What? Ofcourse not. You already know I like someone, right?" She pouted and crossed her arms, looking away from Koharu.

"Oh right, you like Subaru-kun."

"No. Not anymore." Her reponse shocked Koharu greatly.

"What?! You used to chase after him. for years! What happened? Who stole your heart?" Koharu frantically asked Ako, not believing that she got over her first love already.

"No. I don't like Subaru-kun anymore, he belongs to someone already. And even though Kira Kanata has been bugging me, i still can't give my heart, desu no." Ako explained.

"You like Kira Kanata?!" Koharu's voice became too loud to be heard by the class, it especially catched the attention of Bakugo, Todoroki and Momo.

"IT'S NOT LIKE THAT, HU NYAAA!" Ako hissed loudly and immediately walked away. Missing the complicated looks from Todoroki and Bakugo.

  As Ako got away from the class, she felt a very familiar presence coming from the south in a very fast rate.

She looked at the sky and watched a figure from afar.

When platinum hair in pigtails flying on the air came into view, she gasped in shock.

"YURIKAAAA?!" Her shouts were so loud it reached Yurika's ear. In return, she also shouted Ako's name. "AKOOOOOOO!!!"

  Yurika and Ako met on the ground, and hugged both of each so tightly. Missing each other's warmth. Yurika almost teared up, but she held it in to keep her pride. She deeply missed her bestfriend, and she doesn't want to admit it.

Same to Ako.

"You idiot! I was searching for you everywhere!" Yurika broke the hug and shouted at her face again, both relief and happiness etched on her face.

  "Well, you found me anyways." Ako giggled, at the sound of her giggles that she deeply longed for - Yurika also gave in and chuckled.

  Their reunion came to a halt when Momo came into scene, "Ako? Are you okay?! You shouted so loud!" Behind Momo is the whole class.

What welcomed them is two girls hugging each other. "Uhm, I'm okay?" Ako answered with uncertainty, she definitely is okay. She's just confused as to why they are all here.

  "Yurika-sama!" Koharu popped out of the class, surprised that the Vampire princess is also here. She wondered how she got here, is she also attacked? If it is, then the Kingdom is in grave danger than how it before now that three princesses is missing.

When Koharu called out Yurika's name, it catched Momo's attention.

'So, she's also one of the princesses in their world.' She understood the situation, so she immediately settled the class to get away from them.

"It seems they're only having a little reunion guys, no need to worry." Momo announced to the class.

  "How are they so beautiful?! It's so unbelievable they're still on earth!" Ashido fangirled about how three beauties is in the same place.

She would die in happiness by just staring at them.

"Are they all related? They seem to share the same mannerisms." Jirou said as she watched the three girls talk in graceful manners. Although Ako is more on the boastful kind of side, her gaceful movements is still very eyecatching. Koharu is on the softer and fragile side, while the unknown girl is more on the mature side.

  "Yeah, it seems so, kero." Tsuyu replied.

"But man, that unknown girl sure is beautiful. Her white hair complemented her features." Uraraka admired in a dreamy state.

"Yeah, I hope i could be that pretty too."

"We could only dream." The girls sighed.

...

After the incident, they were all in break to comprehend about what happened. As for Ako, she requested a week leave so she can focus on Yurika and the information about the Hetalica demons attacking their Kingdom.

It was still a shock for both Koharu and Ako that Yurika is infront of them.

They're currently residing inside Ako and Koharu's bedroom in the Yaoyorozu residence, having a discussion about the most important things.

"So, you ended up being here because you caused this yourself?" Koharu asked as Yurika's story paused.

"Not. As I was saying, Yume-sama planned for me to spy Hetalica."

"And you're the one who suggested this idea, desu no." Ako is kind of feeling annoyed that Yurika had to sacrifice herself just to find them. It left a bitter taste in her mouth.

"And she accepted it. But you won't believe what I saw there."

"...?"

"They possesses the forbidden scrolls, there's three ancestors." When Yurika dropped the bomb, both Ako and Koharu felt shivers covering their whole body.

  Especially Ako who had a lot of information about the ancestors.

"Hey, isn't this dangerous? How are the remaining princess going to fight them? Especially since the Academy doesn't prioritize combat practice, we are in great disadvantage." Koharu muttered but loud enough for the two to understand.

  "We know. That's why i brought this. I still don't know how this works, so i want Ako to analyze this." Yurika brought out a worn out and yellow scroll out of her cleavage.

  Opening the scroll, they were greeted by some unknown symbol that had a moon in the middle with some kind of horns sticking out of the star sign infused inside of a circle.

"What the heck is this?!"

It's a symbol she didn't have any knowledge of.

"You also don't have any idea what this is, Ako-chan?" Koharu asked rhe bewildered Ako, still staring at the scroll. Trying her hardest to analyze it with her ability to the max level.

  But some kind of force is forbidding her to analyze it. "This is troublesome, desu wa. I can't open its data because something is blocking it from me."

"Figures. The ancestors must have put some spells to protect it from people like you who have the ability to analyze an object." Yurika said, crossing her arms and relaxed her body on the bed.

"This is getting annoying..." Ako scoffed and folded the scroll so she can study it later. "Looks like our way home is still on pending.." Koharu laid down with Yurika, sighing.

"I miss the palace maids and the people there." Koharu said.

"But the people here's not bad at all." Ako joined them.

"You two have it easy. When i came here i was attacked by villains, twice."

"Ehhh, but you're powerful. Those villains are nothing but mere ants in the presence of Yurika-sama."

"Well, ofcourse! I am the descendant of Count Dracula who wandered a mortal plane three hundred years ago!"

"We already know that line, Yurika." Ako sweatdropped when she heard Yurika's favorite phrase again after a long time.

"Pretend you've heard it for the first time."

"No, no - hearing it again makes me want to puke, desu wa."

"What did you say?!"

Koharu giggled in the middle of their chat.

  "What are you planning to do from now on, Yurika-sama?" Koharu asked.

"Is it not obvious? I'm going to join your school so we can be together!"
