-AUTHOR POV-

And so on, days pass, and now, there was one more day before the school festival, and yet Jiro and the others have been still practicing pretty hard and doing good so far...but the thing is...she keeps on getting more curious about (YN) doing a solo performance and singing a song for "someone" ...Jiro would always think about it and yet...it makes her feel like (YN) is maybe attractive to another girl...

Momo: Jiro? Jiro.

Jiro: H-Huh? Oh hey Momo.

Momo: Is everything okay my friend? You weren't like this during our practice, you were so happy when we were practicing and now...you seem a bit down. Is there something bothering you?

Jiro: N-No...not really.

Momo: You sure...you e been starring at (YN) quiet a while. Is everything okay between the two of you?

Jiro: O-Oh no! We're both okay. Nothing bad honestly...it's just that..*sighs* I don't know...it's too hard to talk about it...

Momo: Hmmm. Well, if it makes you feel better, want some tea?

Jiro: Heh. Yeah I'll have some. Besides, it smells really good.

Momo: Oh how wonderful! I'm glad you notice! Mother sent me this rare type of tea that is impossible to find. It's a tea called Gold Tips Imperial. Everyone! I hope all of you will enjoy having some of this tea!

Tooru: No idea what kind it is, but I'll take some!

Mina: Me too! It better be boujie!

Momo then started making tea for Jiro as she hands her a cup of it...yet, Jiro turns around...and sees (YN) as she then blushes a little, and yet says...

Jiro Mind: D-Does he like...someone else...I-If he does...then...all that time together...was for nothing. ... No, that's not true. Maybe he's performing a song for Eri! Yeah, he'll perform a song for her to make her smile as well and entertaining as well! Yeah, that's it. Hehe...I hope that's true....I-I hope.

Meanwhile, Ochaco then walks over to Izuku and he was sitting with (YN), (YN) was playing a gaming console as Izuku was on his phone...

Ochaco: Hey Deku, wanna try some of Momo's yummy tea-WAAH!!!

Ochaco finds Izuku not himself, as he yet started muttering while scrolling on his phone...

(YN): Hehe. Sorry about him Uraraka. He's been muttering for the past 3 minutes, scrolling down his phone.

Izuku: O-Oh shoot! I didn't mean to play that video!

Suddenly, whatever video Izuku played, then said...

"Gentle Video"

And so, the video started playing as someone started talking...

Gentle: Dearest viewers, do you drink different types of tea for different occasions?

Ochaco: Oh a video about tea? Perfect! Here, I got some tea for you!

Izuku: O-Oh. Thank you.

Ochaco: Wants some tea as well, (YN)?

(YN): No, I'm good.

Gentle: This particular fine blend is called Royal Flush. Whatever could that name imply, I wonder.

A female voice was heard as well, recording as well...

La Brava: That you're discriminating sets of Sparta from the rest of the world?

Gentle: Be sure to stay tuned. My next video is an alarm, not just to my faithful viewers, but to all of society. Try to contain your anticipation until then.

Video ends...

Ochaco: ...That was short. Say, is he famous? People seem to not like him very much.

(YN): *Wheezes* He's got so many dislikes! Just who's this anyways?

Izuku: It's Gentle.

(YN): So you know him?

Izuku: Well I do a little, he's a villain who's known for causing trouble and recording it. It's kinda nuts he's been putting these videos out for years now and hasn't even been caught yet.

(YN): So, he's a villain that does videos, records them and puts it online?

Izuku: Yeah, but...he's out there. And I'm not sure what he planning to do next.

Suddenly, (YN) sat back at the sofa, as he stares at Jiro, as she seems to be happy and enjoying her tea, suddenly, Jiro notice him looking at her as she turns around, (YN) smiles at her and waved at her...Jiro blushes a little and smiles a little and gives a little wave back...soon (YN) then thought to himself...

(YN) Mind: Gentle...A villain who does videos, does villainous things, records them and puts them online...and yet he's wondering out there somewhere still doing it....I have a bad feeling about this. Wonder where he's at right now.

Meanwhile, outside of the city, its nighttime by the way, as we go over to Gentle Criminal's home, as he yet seems to be a bit stress of the videos he has been putting lately...

La Brava: Poor Gentle. You've been swirling so hard that you've been skipping tea breaks for weeks. Are you alright?!

Gentle Criminal: Yes. La Brava, recently heroes are starting to fall out of the favor with the public. Their feckless actions have bred distrust from the masses. It's obvious these so-called stooges are ill prepared for complications. They don't seem to comprehend the crisis they're in. If they did, they wouldn't dream on putting on the school festival in these most harrowing of times.

La Brava: Yeah, but Gentle I don't know how you feel about involving these innocent children in all of this, you know?

Gentle Criminal: Hahahaha! My dear, this scheme of mine is merely a wake up call. Following my masterful incursion, the future heroes will be encouraged to grow stronger!

La Brava: Woah! So your plan is going to be inspiring youthful minds?! You're so cool Gentle!

Gentle Criminal: Now, let us go over to the route we'll take to invade! Haha! Open the criminal folder!

Gentle then press the left click to open a folder...but didn't work...

Gentle Criminal: ....It won't open.

La Brava: Oh sorry. I locked it for protection. Just right click there.

Gentle Criminal: Ah. Thank you my dear.

Gentle Criminal then opened a folder of his plan to invade UA tomorrow and shows off a map of where they will be taking the route...

Gentle Criminal: Now La Brava, this oath have the numerous of heroes of hero agencies and the Keats traffic, at 5 o clock of the morning off, we will make for a side road here.

La Brava: Why not use your quirk instead?

Gentle Criminal: It would be unwise given there are heroes who patrol the sky. Anyways, after a jaunt, we'll stroll through the lovely park. Once we are on the other side, we'll almost be there. If we move carefully to avoid drawing attention, it should take us 60 to 65 minutes at the most. And then...I'm delighted by this part. See this old house that is standing besides the hardware store?

La Brava: Yes?

Gentle Criminal: It's actually a charming café.

La Brava: Wait. You're not gonna have your tea outside as usual? That's risky!

Gentle Criminal: The owner is passing 70 and barely managing to keep his business open. It's a shame. No one notices that it's anything more than an old home. And only have five or six regulars. But La Brava, there is no question that I just drink there! Cause this café carries the most lauded of tea levels!
The elusive Gold tips and imperial! Don't you think it's fitting for the grand caper we are about to pull off?

La Brava: Of course!

Gentle Criminal: And because of the owner's advanced age, it opens at 7am. We can enjoy 90-minutes of teatime if we can get there with the doors open.

La Brava: Woah. This is way more research than you usually do.

Gentle Criminal: After that, we go back to the side street and past the construction site where we'll find a slightly sloping mountain surrounded by forest. Once we climb that...we will arrive at UA. But most likely, we will have to deal with Hound Dog, who excels at sniffing out intruders. Once we get to the forest, we must run dirt and leaves all over our bodies to hide our scent from the mongrel. And as for the school, there's a sensor es security system called the UA Barrier, that's nigh and impenetrable and covers the entire campus.

La Brava: Hehe! And that's where my job come in, right Gentle? I'll infiltrate UA's internal network, and secretly disable the sensors! Cause not to brag, but I'm highly a skilled master hacker!

Gentle Criminal: I truly...have the most wonderful partner imaginable. My dear, I am forever grateful to have you at my side.

La Brava: Oh stop it you know I'll do anything for you Gentle! You know I love you so much!

Suddenly, Gentle then places his hand on top of La Brava's head..

La Brava: G-Gentle..?

Gentle Criminal: La Brava, I do mean it. When I first began...I first learn how to upload my videos, but technology oft eludes me. And yet, I get the most hatred and rare comments I did get were harsh....until...when I heard my doorbell rang, it signal me the end of my melancholy days...the day I met you. It was you. My first admirer. To be honest, I had my misgivings. I was terrified that I was being too careless. But then, when we began plotting and recording and editing as one, my viewers on the video began to increase!

La Brava then started to feel emotionally happy for what she has been doing for Gentle over the years when she met him...

Gentle Criminal: La Brava!

La Brava: Y-Yes Gentle?!

Gentle Criminal: I am betting my soul and prized mustache on this audacious festival scheme! For the world, for society, for my courageous dream, and to honor the feelings you have for me!

La Brava started to get more emotionally she yet started to cry as she rushes towards Gentle Criminal...

La Brava: Gentle!

Gentle Criminal: My La Brava!

La Brava soon has Gentle Criminal on the ground, hugging him and soon to cry on him...

La Brava: Oh! I-I love you my Gentle Criminal!

Gentle Criminal: And I love you too, my darling girl. I'll make certain nothings stops me...no matter what. We will succeed!
