Before Reading- Author's message.

Hey everyone! I know, it's been around two months since my last post. I'm sure you're all wondering what happened to really slow me down and that is... I finally started college! I moved in just around the middle of September and started classes, from there it's been quite a lot of things going on. I have classes to go to now, actually have more homework, and have many activities I do here! Despite this, I managed to write this chapter AND retyped the first 10 chapters of the fic! (Which should all be posted along with this chapter. Check those out and let me know what you think!) From here, I'm going to try and make it so that I post 10 retyped chapters whenever I post a new one. I know it sounds long, but the closer I get to my more recent chapters, the shorter the retyping will be, so it won't really be as long as you guys think. The next chapter may be in another month or two, but I hope you guys look forward to it. Thank you to all of you still reading this fic up to this point, I appreciate all the support! Wish me luck in college.

-I appreciate any feedback in the comments below. Whether it's criticism, praise, or questions, I would be happy to hear it all.

___________________________________________________________

Kota was currently experiencing the biggest chills in his spine that he's ever had in his life so far. Here he was, currently sitting next to Enso on a rocky stump as the teen shined his dagger under the moonlight.

"I'm gonna die! He's gonna kill me isn't he!?" Kota frantically thought as he kept his gaze at the ground in fear.

"Why so tense?" He heard Enso ask beside him.

"Why?! Because I'm gonna die!" Kota thought but didn't say.

"Do you want any?" Enso then asked him.

"Huh!? What's he talking about?!" Kota slowly turned his head only to see Enso using his dagger to peel a green apple. Kota blinked and stared at the teen with a look that contained a mixture of confusion and doubt.

Enso noticed Kota's stare and turned to him raising an eyebrow. "What is it?"

"Hold on. You're telling me that you only had that knife just to peel an apple!?"

Enso tilted his head with a comedic question mark appearing on top of him, "What else did you think I was gonna use it for?

"To kill me!" Kota snapped, his previous state of anger returning once more.

"I only came here to talk." Was Enso's response as he continued to peel the apple skin.

A vein of anger boldly showed against Kota's head.

"Seriously!?" He shot up to his feet. "I thought I was gonna die! Who the hell shows up to talk with a knife in hand!?"

"It's actually a dagger." Enso corrected him.

Kota had about enough, Izuku's words about his parents still lingered from before and now he had to deal with this new would be 'hero' in front of him.

"I don't want to talk to you, why can't you all just leave me alone!? I already said this before, I don't want to be friends with anyone who wants to become a hero! So get away from me!"

Kota turned his back to Enso and started to march away.

"I'm not going to become a hero."

Kota stopped.

He partially looked back to Enso with a confused look.

"What did he say?"

Enso kept his gaze on his apple as he continued to peel it.

"Heroes are people who are willing to fight and sacrifice themselves for the sake of others without expecting anything in return, heroes are people that give hope and comfort to those who are in the need of help, heroes are people who keep fighting to win no matter what the odds are... I'm none of those things Kota."

Kota fully turned his body to face Enso, still angry but confused as to what he was saying.

"You don't know much about me Kota. All the way up till now, I've only ever done things to benefit myself. I've only saved people that I thought would benefit me in a way, I've always ended up intimidating others rather than comfort them, and if I ever realized that I would be getting myself into a battle that I can't win... then I don't fight. I leave. I'm not here to become a hero."

"But... then why are you in that class!?" Kota asked angrily.

"Simple. To help someone else of that class become a true hero."

"Huh?" Kota's eyes widened.

"My friend that you've just talked to, I'm sure you know this because his partner told you, but he only wants to become a hero to save everyone. He wants to save people with a smile each time, just like a hero he admired for so long. I'm here to help him on that goal of his, for him to end up better than I have using his powers."

"What kind of goal is that?" Kota wondered.

"You don't just hate heroes, you hate everything new about this society because you've focused on the negative aspects that quirks have caused. You hate how people use quirks to show off to one another, you hate how heroes and villains fight each other for their own personal needs ranging from money to power, and you hate how many lives have been taken within the bloodshed that quirks have caused."

"What, are you going to say!? That I shouldn't hate them, like that other guy said!?" Kota shouted.

"I was actually going to ask something instead."

"What is it?" Kota growled.

"Do you hate your parents?" Enso then asked.

Kota's eyes widened.

"Do you think your parents left you behind? That they kept fighting just to 'show off' and gain the power and money they desired? That they fought for selfish needs?" Enso continued.

"Shut up..." Kota grumbled, his hat shadowing his eyes as he clenched his teeth.

"If you really hate the idea of using quirks to fight and kill one another, if you hate the people who do such a thing, then your parents fit such a description don't they? Fighting and ending up dead because they tried to 'show off' their quirks and power towards a villain?"

"Shut up!" Kota shouted louder.

"They must've been quite the terrible heroes and parents, for them to just leave their son behind because of their own selfish needs."

Kota's eyes shot a glare at Enso, his eyes tearing up, "SHUT UP! MY PARENTS WEREN'T LIKE THAT!!!" he screamed at the top of his lungs, causing many birds in the trees nearby to get startled and fly away.

Enso stopped cutting the apple and his eyes moved up to look at Kota's crying expression.

"Then what type of heroes were they?"

Kota felt his hands shaking, "Th-They were..." His head looked down at the ground, tears dripping down. "They..."

Kota fell silent.

Enso narrowed his eyes, "He can't think of what kind of heroes they were? Or does he think that his negative ideas might've actually been caused because of his parents and that he now just realized it?"

Not hearing anything out of him, Enso tried a different approach.

"Listen closely Kota. In this current time, people like to categorize the world like this: There are heroes, villains, civilians, and vigilantes. Heroes and vigilantes protect civilians from villains, civilians treat villains and vigilantes as if they're evil because of how they break the law, but they treat heroes like saviors. Villains break the law and hurt both heroes and civilians for their own goals, depending on what type of villain they are."

Kota kept his hands clenched into fists.

Enso continued, "But just because someone is a hero, doesn't mean that they're a good person... From what I've seen, there are heroes that fight for selfish reasons such as fame or money, hardly thinking about civilians and just thinking for themselves. But... Sometimes, despite fighting for those types of reasons, despite certain heroes not having the main goal of self-sacrifice for anyone, they can still be good people, they can still be heroes to someone."

Enso looked down. "Even if they become heroes to help earn money for their family..." He remembered Ochako's situation.

"Even if they become heroes to make everyone proud..." He remembered Iida working hard to impress his brother.

Enso looked back up, "They are still good people. They still fight for someone."

Kota didn't say anything, there were only the sounds of sniffles coming from him.

"So let me ask again Kota. Your parents. What kind of heroes were they? Were they the kind to work for the sake of money or fame selfishly? Did they work for the sake of saving people in general? Did they fight to make someone else proud? Or were they just people that used their quirks to show off and completely abandoned you?"

Kota's grip loosened up. "They... were..."

Kota remembered watching the news about his parent's demise. The media even said themselves that the Water Hose were wonderful heroes, arriving on the scene to stop a villain from massacring dozens of people, using their quirks to distract and even heavily cut the villain's left eye before they met their gruesome fate.

Kota raised his head, pained tears went down his eyes and dripped onto the ground. "Th-They were the best heroes... They just wanted to help people..."

Enso paused his movement for a moment as he analyzed Kota's answer. He then went to move on.

"Then don't you think it's unfair for you to negatively think about all heroes and quirks when your parent's used their quirks to become the 'best heroes'?"

Kota looked back down again. "I-I-"

"You kept the mindset that heroes and villains only used their quirks to demonstrate their power and kill one another, using them to show each other who was stronger. But now, you've just realized that your parents didn't have reasons even close to that when they used their quirks. Their goals were never about showing off, it was just to save others and make you proud."

Enso stood up from his seat, holding the apple slices in his handkerchief and making his dagger disappear.

"Everyone has a goal that they wish to accomplish. And as of this day and age, people are forced to use their quirks to accomplish them, both heroes and villains. Even if there weren't quirks, there would still be people fighting to fulfill the goal they desire. Some are brainless goals, such as money or fame, but... There are many people with much deeper goals than that. So don't always assume that they fight and kill each other for simple reasons, you shouldn't hate heroes, quirks, or even villains for just that."

Enso walked over to Kota, who kept his head down.

"You know your parents wouldn't want you to go hating quirks and heroes because of their death, otherwise, it makes it seem like you hate your parents for being heroes in the first place."

Kota let out one other sniffle. He was no longer as furious as he was before, but he still mumbled, "Shut up..." to Enso.

Enso stared down at the boy.

"He clearly knows that there's something wrong with his thinking, but he's too stubborn to accept it... There needs to be more than just facts for him to realize."

Enso crouched down and gently grabbed Kota's hand, placing the handkerchief containing the apple slices on his palm.

"Just don't assume that everyone here is trying to become a hero for something selfish. You may even get saved by one of them someday."

Enso stood back up and walked passed Kota to the edge of the rocky cliff, then jumping down and disappearing within the trees below.

Kota kept still after Enso left, not even bothering to look back to see where he had gone.

He then reached into his hand and grabbed one of the apple slices, then placing it into his mouth.

He chewed on it before his face scrunched up a bit.

"Sour..."  he grumbled.

"Midoriya isn't here again today?" Kirishima asked as he laid back in the hot spring he was in.

"Enso isn't here either." Sero added to that.

"Mandalay had Enso and Midoriya help to clean all the dishes since they 'inspired' everyone to use even more to remake their curry." Todoroki answered him.

"Oh really? That's a shame. I was hoping that I would be able to grow a better bond with them since we would be in the nude here!" Mirio laughed.

"What the hell is with your way of thinking?" Shinso sweatdropped at the questionable senior on his right.

He then heard some bubbling on his left and turned to see Tamaki with only half his head poking out of the water, his eyes looking unamused as he bubbled the water with his mouth.

"Why am I between these two?"

__________________________________________________

On the other side of the wooden wall of the hot springs, all of the Class 1-A girls were laying on one side of the spring, while Nejire remained on the other side of the spring with her arms down.

All of the girls stared at Nejire with blank looks, while Nejire just happily smiled to be in the warm water.

She did notice their stares towards her and tilted her head, still smiling. "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Jiiiiiiiiiiiii"

"Hey, tell me, tell me!" Nejire said excitingly as she moved forward and slightly rose out of the water.

Boing! Boing!

The girls all flinched as they saw Nejire's most powerful weapons bounce when she shifted her body up.

"They're dangerous!" the girls all comedically thought.

"What is it?" Nejire asked in a childish manner.

A few of the girls dived at her, suddenly splashing the water around them.

"Wha-hey!" Nejire shouted.

"How did you get them this big!?" Mina shouted as she went behind Nejire and squeezed her assets.

"A-Ah! D-Don't squeeze them!" Nejire cried out.

"They're amazing!" Hagakure added as she examined their shape.

"Spill your secrets woman!" Jirou demanded as she shook the girl.

"H-Hey! Th-that tickles!" Nejire laughed with a red shade in her cheeks.

Momo, Ochako, and Tsu all stared at the group fighting in the water, sweat dropping to see them acting this way.

"Oh my." Momo said with a hand on her cheek.

"They really do get energetic about things like that. Kero." Tsu said.

Ochako was thinking of something different as she stared at Nejire's assets. "Those are dangerous against Deku..."

After a few moments of the naked girls fighting in the water, they all managed to calm down and release Nejire.

But Mina smirked with another idea.

"Wanna peek on the boys again?"

Momo shot up from her spot in the hot spring, "Ashido! We'll be no better than Mineta if you keep doing that!"

Mina was already at the secret spot of the fence she had secretly planted a hold in.

"She ignored me!"

"There she goes again..." Tsu remarked.

Nejire was hugging her chest, still recovering from the sudden assault from the girls. She tilted her head in puzzlement and stared at Mina's direction, "Why are you peeking on the boys?"

Mina turned back to her, "Isn't it obvious! To see their amazing builds in all their glory!"

A question mark appeared over Nejire's head, "But why would you wanna do that?"

"This girl!" Mina thought with a blank stare. "Aren't you interested in guys!? Any at all!?"

Nejire looked up and thought about it for a moment, before her eyes lit up and she smiled, "Yeah! There's one!"

"Is he on the other side of that wall!" Mina asked as she pointed at the wooden wall.

"Um, I think so. That's where all the other guys are right now."

"Then that's why you look! Because he's there and you want to know about every nook and cranny of him and his body! That's why you peek!" Mina said, pumping her hand into a fist.

"Oh! Okay!" Nejire said as if understanding.

"Don't encourage this innocent girl to join your dirty schemes!" Momo scolded her.

"Don't deny a girl a chance to see her beloved!" Mina rebutted. "Besides, it's probably one of the other big three she's thinking about."

Mina then pulled out the wooden cork that had plugged the previous hole she made and peeked through it, grinning madly as her eye searched through all the other guys.

But her grin faded away and a vein or frustrated formed on her head as she moved away from the hole. "Oh come on! Midori isn't there again!"

"Midori? Do you mean Midoriya?" Nejire asked her with a confused look.

"That's what she calls him, it's a cute nickname." Hagakure explained.

"Ehhh? No way, he isn't there? He was one of the people I wanted to see." Nejire pouted.

Mina's eyes nearly bulged out, "Eh!??! No, no, no, and no! Not him!" she said, crossing her arms  in front of her in an x-shape manner.

"What? Why not?" Nejire asked in confusion.

"Mina, you're overreacting... We may have only spent about a day with Nejire, but we can already tell that she isn't interested in guys in 'that' way. Plus you were the one that encouraged her to peek in the first place, so that's on you." Tsu told her.

Mina pouted and crossed her arms, "Yeah, yeah, whatever..."

"Did you see Ureshi there?" Nejire then asked her.

"Hm? No, he wasn't there either." Mina realized.

"Again?" Ochako asked in surprise.

"I heard Mandalay call both of them to help with the cleaning. Don't worry about it." Momo answered them.

Hagakure looked up to the sky, with a smile that not one of the other girls saw from her. "But then that means that right after they're done with the cleaning... then they'll go to the hot springs alone."

She got an idea.

___________________________________________________

~{Half An Hour Later}~

"Thank you guys once again for helping out." Mandalay said as she placed a stack of white plates into a cupboard.

"It's no problem, it was Enso and I that caused everyone to use even more dishes." Izuku said to her as he finished drying some plates.

"I thought we were forced to do this..." Enso muttered as he finished organizing some silverware.

"But it's nice to be nice!" Ikari said as he stretched his body up to another cupboard to drop off more plates.

"Quiet you."

"Meanie!"

As they worked, Ragdoll and Pixie-bob occasionally glance over at Enso with curious eyes. They still wondered about the boy, especially ever since Ragdoll discovered Enso had somehow remembered the location of the small cabin. Enso also noticed a change in their behavior, notably Pixie-bob not making no recent attempts to flirt with him, which surprisingly made Enso feel even more cautious of her.

Mandalay checked the time and guess that the boys should have left the hot springs by now, so she turned to Enso and Izuku. "You could both just go to the hot springs now, we'll handle the rest."

"Are you sure?" Izuku asked her.

"Don't worry, there's not much left for us to do anyways kitten!" Ragdoll smiled.

"You heard her. Let's go, we don't want to go to the hot spring too late." Enso told him.

"Well, alright then." Izuku said, putting down a towel.

"Bye-bye, everyone!" Ikari cheerfully waved before retracting back within Izuku.

"Goodnight everyone." Izuku said before he and Enso left the room.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Pixie-bob called.

As they walked down the hall, Izuku let out a breath of relief, "Man, I can't wait to get in the hot springs again..." he said as he rotated his arm from the soreness he felt.

"These hot springs sure are useful. They'll allow your body to de-stress and get in enough shape for you to take yet another beating."

"Why are thinking about it that way?"

"Pool! Pool!" Ikari shouted in Izuku' head.

"It's not a pool Ikari, you can't casually play in it. It's meant to relax."

"Pool!"

"Of course he's not listening..."

As they went down the halls, someone peeked from the corner behind them. However, there was no one that would normally see this person, as she didn't have any clothes on.

"I knew it. They're going to the hot springs now." Hagakure said cheerfully to herself. "I'll have to follow them from a distance, I don't want Enso detecting me again after all."

Hagakure followed the two boys the entire way, always making sure to keep a distance of several yards, which proved to make following them difficult since they would turn corners and she would have trouble following their path.

But at last, she saw the boys go into the hot spring area by themselves. She already felt her body shaking from excitement as she imagined what it would be she'd see.

"Sorry Mina, but I just can't help myself! You can't turn invisible, but I'll make it up to you somehow!"

Hagakure scooted herself closer along the wall and listened to a few muffled words coming from the changing room. She then heard their voices trail off as they went into the springs in the next area, hearing the faint sounds of splashing water in the distance.

"Finally!"

She carefully sneaked in, moving through the changing room where she saw the two baskets containing the clothes of the two boys.

She nearly burst into laughter when she saw All Might underwear in Izuku's basket.

She also wasn't surprised to see pure, black high-quality underwear in the other basket. "What even is that material anyway?"

She shook her head and focused on her goal, carefully taking light steps as she got to the open doorway of the springs. At first, she couldn't see much due to the steam from the springs, so she carefully made her way deeper to the outdoors before stopping at a sight.

Enso and Izuku had the lower half of their bodies in the water, exposing the top parts of their build-up chests and arms to Hagakure for her to see.

At first, she was completely absorbed in watching just the shape of the boy's chests, making her shake nervously with widened eyes. But as she managed to calm down, she took note of all the marks on both of their bodies.

"Whoa! I knew about Midori's scars, but it seems like Enso has been through quite a bit too. I wonder what he could've gone through for that?" She then focused her gaze onto Izuku, "Man, Midori looks way built up! Did he gain more muscle than the last time I saw those pecs?" Hagakure thought as she made her way closer, carefully stepping along the edge of the spring and towards a pillar of the sort within the water. She used the pillar to hide her shape in the water as she carefully stepped into the warm spring, then peeking on the boys from behind the pillar.

"This is so exciting! It's making me feel so giddy!"

Enso and Izuku both rested their backs along the edge of the spring, letting their arms sink into the water.

"I'll never get over how relaxing this is... Izuku said with a breath of bliss.

"The springs are meant to relax the body. That way you can-"

"You already told me this..." Izuku cut him off.

In the meantime, Hagakure burned the image of Izuku's chest and Enso's pale skin into her mind. Despite Enso appearing so strong to the class, he didn't have all the muscles that Izuku or even some of the other students of their class had. It made Hagakure rather curious as to how he was able to overpower through some of Izuku's attacks without any natural strength. She couldn't deny that Enso's pale skin and long hair flowing behind him made him look rather 'beautiful' in a way, almost like a girl.

"If wonder if he would let me and Mina do his hair, heh heh." She wondered, picturing the different hairstyles they could put on him.

Enso and Izuku both sunk their bodies deeper into the water, with only their heads looking up at the night sky as they watched the bright stars above them.

"Don't go deeper in the water! Show me more!" Hagakure shouted to them in her head.

"The stars are nice tonight..." Izuku said with a smile.

"I suppose they are..." Enso agreed. "It looks like the night when I first arrived on this world."

Hagakure blinked, "What did he say? Hold on, I didn't hear that right, did I?"

"You mean when you threw a pro hero into the ocean?" Izuku sweatdropped.

"What the hell!?!" Hagakure thought.

"I couldn't exactly risk him following me when I was off searching for you."

"I'm sure there were better ways to do it..." Izuku sighed.

They both remained silent in the water for a moment, admiring the stars and the half-moon that brightly lit up.

Izuku broke the silence.

"Hey, Enso?"

"Yes?"

"Before you came here... What kind of worlds did you visit?"

"I did hear that right! Enso's an alien!?! Is he a slimy tentacled alien disguised as a human so that he could go eat other humans!?!"

Hagakure paused her thinking for a moment.

"Man, me and Mina watch too many horror movies..."

"The worlds I've visited were... Interesting, to say the least. They usually didn't have built up cities like here on this earth. There were magic and kingdoms like RPGs, places with mecha suits and futuristic cities, and even others with monsters living among humans."

"Sound amazing." Izuku chuckled.

"I suppose they were. But, with all those beautiful aspects of the worlds, there were terrible downsides."

"Downsides?" Izuku repeated into a question.

Enso turned his head to Izuku and narrowed his eyes, "People."

Izuku turned to him as well.

"There were all kinds of terrible people in each world. The kind that had little care for anyone besides themselves, or they just loved to inflict despair among others."

Izuku gulped nervously, "A-And are they the people that-?"

"Yes, they're the ones who are gone now."

"Of course they are..." Izuku mumbled, feeling slightly uncomfortable talking about this yet again.

"But of course, there were many more people that you would consider good. The kind that anyone would be able to get along with and go out of their way to help others. Many of them helped me out in my travels."

Hearing that reminded Izuku of someone in particular that he hadn't heard enough about.

"Enso, that girl you cared about... what was her name?"

Hearing this, Hagakure's head perked up. "Cared about!? Is it Enso's girlfriend!?" she squealed.

"...Rina. Her name was Rina."

"How was she like?" Izuku then asked.

Hagakure inched closer to listen.

"She was an idiot." Enso bluntly said.

Izuku and Hagakure both turned black and white. "No hesitation!"

Enso sighed, "She always overdid her training, always put too much trust in others, and gave away a lot more than she received. She was rather clumsy and lacked a lot of common sense that a person needed..."

"She sounds like she gave Enso a lot of trouble..." Izuku thought.

"But yet, everyone loved her."

"Eh?"

"No one was able to get mad at her, it was as if everyone was under some sort of spell towards her. I even thought that she had a magical ability to hypnotized everyone, but I learned that everyone just couldn't help but smile around her. She was just naturally liked."

Izuku smiled, "Sounds like such a nice person."

"She was... Rather too nice actually. Some people took advantage of that. And of course, I always had to come run in and save her from being manipulated, she really was an idiot."

"But you enjoyed your time with Rina, didn't you?"

Enso looked down at the water, "I suppose so... At first, it was rather troubling for me to constantly look after her. She lived alone in a house and everything was a total mess. It made me wonder why someone like her would have a special power. Over time, cleaning up after her became a daily thing for me, all the way to the point-"

Enso stopped.

Izuku had a sad look of understanding, "U-Until... She died, right?"

"Right in front of me..." Enso confirmed.

Hagakure felt her heart break. "Wh-What?"

Izuku turned his head away, thinking about what to say. "E-Enso, I-"

"Don't bother trying to comfort me. I'm not letting her death get in the way of anything."

"Huh?" Izuku focused his gaze back on Enso.

"Constantly mourning over a loss doesn't help oneself. It's a natural feeling to have when someone special to you is lost, but letting it constantly eat away at you just halts your progress of life. If you have to mourn, then mourn at the moment, but don't let it hinder your life too much. Let it influence you to fight on and continue instead."

"I see... And you're using her death to influence you to keep fighting against Lynch?"

Upon hearing that name, Hagakure felt a shiver go down her spine. "Th-That's the name Yao-Momo and Jirou confronted Midori about on the roof!!"

"Somewhat... At first, I've only fought against Lynch because he kept murdering many people that I knew could help me on my quest to remember more about myself."

Enso clenched his hands into fists under the water.

"But after Rina's death, I felt like I just had to kill Lynch. I know that nothing will ever keep him bound down, he will always get out. So I have to stop him from taking the innocent lives of anyone else. Because as long as he's alive, innocents suffer for his amusement, as long as he's alive, then he'll do anything to get to me by harming those innocents.

Izuku's eyes widened in disbelief, "I thought he cared little for anyone else, always acting cold to people, but what he's saying right now... It's a whole different story. Why?"

"All those people he's killed, I'm responsible for their deaths for letting him live." Enso finished.

Hearing this, Izuku sprang to his feet and turned to face Enso, the lower part of his body still hidden under the water. "Wh-What Lynch does isn't your fault Enso! Even I know at this point that he's completely insane!"

However, when Izuku turned his body to Enso, Hagakure caught a full view of his back.

His back.

And the letters on it.

Hagakure formed a face of pure horror. She saw something that she felt that she shouldn't have seen, something that Izuku had been desperate to hide from the rest of the class.

DEKU

"Wh-What?" She unconsciously started to back up. "Wh-What is that? Why is that word on his back? D-Doesn't Bakugo and Uraraka always call him that? Why does it look so... d-disfigured? Wh-When did he get that!? He didn't have that on his back during the festival! So he must've gotten it-!"

She froze as she thought about it.

"A-At the internships." She unconsciously said out loud.

Izuku and Enso both widened their eyes as their gazes shot in the direction of the voice.

"Who's there!?" Izuku cried out.

"Eep!" Hagakure attempted to back up, but Enso already pierced across the water and brought his dagger against her neck.

"W-Wait!" Hagakure desperately cried out in fear.

Izuku recognized who it was, "H-Hagakure!? Y-You're here!?"

Enso blinked and his eyes widened into a look of surprise as he saw the shape of the girl in the water.

"Hagakure? I got so absorbed in the conversation that I didn't even notice her until I sharpened my senses upon hearing her voice. Her body heat must've blended in with the heat of the hot springs and obscured her presence easily." Enso realized.

Enso pulled his dagger back, forming a glare at Hagakure. "How much did you hear?"

"U-Um... W-Well I didn't really-"

"How. Much. Did. You. Hear?" Enso demanded to know.

Hagakure shivered.

"Wait a moment!" Izuku pushed through the water and made his way towards the shape in the water that was Hagakure.

"H-H-Hagakure, be honest, please. How much did you hear... a-and see?"

Hagakure was slightly shaken from the dagger on her neck mere moments ago, but she answered him.

"E-Everything..."

Izuku felt some dread and instinctively put a hand on his back to feel upon the word that was there. "I-I see..."

Enso facepalmed and sighed, "This was a mistake on my part... I should've made sure that no one else was present. We've said too much."

Hagakure reached forward and grabbed Izuku by the shoulders, scaring the boy from her sudden touch as she shook him back and forth.

"Midori! Please! Tell me what's going on! At this point, it's scaring me not know what happened to you! Wh-Why is... that word on your back!? A-And why does it look so... horrible!?!"

"C-Calm down Hagakure! Please!" Izuku tried to reassure her.

"I guess we have no choice..." Enso mumbled. He stood up in the water with a towel wrapped around his lower body. "Izuku, you may have to tell her everything."

"Wha- Me!?"

"I think Hagakure would feel much more comfortable if she heard it from you..." Enso explained to him.

"B-But..." Izuku turned from Hagakure, to back to Enso. "Everything?"

Enso thought about it for a moment, before leaning his head near Izuku's ear and whispering, "Everything about my situation is alright, it's better that way. But as for All Might's situation... It's better for her not to know."

"I-If I tell her everything about your situation and connection with me, it might make her worry even more..." Izuku whispered back.

Enso back away from Izuku and spoke normally once more. "If you don't tell her, then she'll tell everyone else about what she's already heard."

Hagakure could feel her concern growing. "Please Midori..."

Izuku looked down, "Y-Your right..."

"I'll wait outside to make sure no one else comes in. Good luck." Enso stepped out of the water and walked away from the two individuals in the water, disappearing into the changing room.

Izuku was left alone with Hagakure. Both of them facing the exit that Enso just went through.

"How do I explain things to her?" Izuku wondered nervously.

"What do I say to him now?" Hagakure thought at the same time.

"H-Hagakure-" "Midori-" The two said in unison as they turned to face each other.

However, that was when it finally sunk in that they were both still naked right in front of each other.

Izuku saw two curvy shapes of Hagakure in the water.

Hagakure stared at Izuku's bare chest.

Izuku's head erupted red, "Sh-Sh-She's naked right in front me!"

Hagakure felt her head get warmer, "So, much, muscle!"

Izuku and Hagakure both turned their backs to one another, also sinking their bodies deeper into the water so that only their heads poked out.

"I'm used to knowing that her hero costume is just her naked, but having her right next to me in the hot springs just feels different!" Izuku thought to himself in a shiver.

There was an awkward silence between the two. Izuku and Hagakure knew that they had to say something to one another, yet it was rather embarrassing for both to be naked right in front of the opposite gender.

Izuku was the one to break the silence.

"H-Hagakure, I-Well..." He looked down into the water. "I-I'm sorry..."

"For what?" Hagakure answered in confusion.

"F-For keeping everything secret... There are-Well... There were a lot of things that happened."

"I-I knew something happened to you before. I heard on the school roof when you were with Yao-Momo and Jirou..."

Izuku turned his head back in shock, "You heard all of that!?"

He then realized Hagakure was still naked and turned his head forward once more, turning a shade of red again.

"Well yeah... I heard them say something about talking to you and that it was serious, so I followed you onto the roof and listen in. After hearing a few things, I got worried and even gathered up others somewhere to talk about what happened to you. To talk about what in the world... "Lynch" was."

"She really heard everything."

"W-Wait, when you said 'gather up others', who do you mean?"

"I kind of rounded up all the girls and tried to bring in Todoroki, Iida, and Enso to talk about what was going on. Because clearly you weren't gonna tell us."

"All of this went on without me knowing!?"

"E-Enso, Todoroki, and Iida came too?"

"We tried to get them to come, but they didn't."

"S-So then it was just you g-girls there?"

"Yeah..."

Tsu's words echoed. "It's not just Ochako-chan and I... So you need to think more about these things... I'm telling you this now so you would at least prepare. I really hope that you could find a way to make everyone happy."

Izuku shook his head side to side to get the thought of his head, "I-I can't think of that right now! This is serious! I've worried everyone for a while now!"

"In the end, we decided to just wait and see if you would ever tell any of us what happened. But now, after seeing that w-word on your back..."

Izuku felt Hagakure place her forehead on his back, with a hand on the back of each shoulder. His body tensed up, but he remained quiet.

"I have to know what happened to you Midori. Please." Hagakure begged.

Hearing the tone of worry in her voice, Izuku knew what he had to do.

"Okay..."

_______________________________________________

"That's an amazing quirk!" Nejire happily cried out as she jumped up from a futon provided for her. She was within the sleeping quarters for the girls of class-1A, taking the opportunity to bombard all of the girls with questions about their quirks. She currently wore a light-blue nightgown that matched the color of her hair. Her hair itself had been neatly tied into a rather large bun behind Nejire's head, looking as if the senior could use her hair as a pillow itself to sleep on.

"Y-You really think it's amazing?" Jirou asked with a hint of red in her cheeks, twirling her earlobes with a finger.

"Yeah! You could save so many people by knowing the locations of civilians in disaster zones or hostages in terrorist attacks! You would be able to find out where they are and help other heroes save them!" Nejire reassured her.

All the other girls in the room wore shorts and tank tops of the sort, all sitting in a cross-legged position in a small circle with smiles. Just the blue-haired beauty's presence and highly positive attitude were enough to get them to smile.

"You sure like listening about quirks don't you Nejire?" Ochako asked with a chuckle.

"I love them! It's just so cool to hear what a person could do and just how different it was from everyone else's quirks!"

"Heh, just like Midori." Mina said with a small chuckle.

"You both even have the tendency to get too absorbed in talking about quirks. Izu-chan ends up muttering a storm about his thoughts while you end up asking a lot of questions without letting anyone even answer them." Tsu added.

"Surprisingly, I'm able to understand Izuku's rambling rather well now." Momo chuckled.

"Same. I think we've been around him too much." Ochako laughed.

"So both Deku and Nejire here are both nerds. No offense." Jirou joked.

Nejire's turned her gaze from girl to girl with a puzzled look.

"Something wrong?" Momo asked the confused girl.

Nejire put a finger on her chin, "Well, I'm just wondering... Why do you all call Midoriya different names?"

All the girls tensed up and looked down, light blushes forming on their faces.

Nejire turned to each of them. "Eh? What is it? Tell me, tell me!" she said with intense curiosity. She got in front of Ochako, "What is it?"

Ochako's eyes became swirls and she flailed her hands in front of her, backing away from Nejire. "N-Nothing!Nothing at all! D-Deku just lets us call him what we want! Th-There's nothing else behind it! Th-That's it! I'm going to bed now good night!"

Ochako then dove into her futton and wrapped herself up into a comfy looking ball that was steaming.

Everyone sweatdropped.

"She gets so flustered easily..." Tsu thought with a small smile.

"Um, anyway. Have you guys seen Toru anywhere?" Mina asked the group, changing the subject.

"Hagakure? She went outside saying that she would be back soon." Momo answered.

"Pooey, I wanted to have all of us play Uno..." Mina said as she held cards in her hand.

"Relax. She'll be back." Jirou told her pink friend.

"Is Hagakure the invisible girl?" Nejire asked.

"Yeah, she is."

"Does her quirk make her invisible all the time?" Nejire asked, as Hagakure was the only one out of the girls whose quirk she didn't completely know about.

"Yeah, she can't control it. She's actually self-conscious about that and says that everyone is 'cuter' than her because of it. So I suggested not bringing that up." Mina warned her.

Jirou looked down at herself with a small look of shame, "And here I'm always worrying about how I look..."

"I don't think that's true. She can be quite adorable with her energetic personality." Tsu spoke out.

"I know right?! I always tell her things, but she never seems to believe it." Mina sighed.

"It could be that she's just worried about guys not seeing her much of a girl. Maybe having a guy tell her that would have her believe it?" Jirou suggested. "I felt like that before after all..."

"Maybe." Mina thought. "She told me she didn't like Midori, so maybe it's alright to have him give her that confidence? There isn't really any other suitable guy to tell her that in my opinion."

Mina thought deeper into it.

"But when would he even get a chance to tell her that alone?"

__________________________________________________

"You went... through all of that?" Hagakure asked, just finishing to listen to Izuku's entire story.

Izuku told her as much as he could involving Enso and himself while avoiding any mention of All Might during their time together. Enso traveling to Izuku's world, the purpose he had for finding Izuku and training him, even going as far as to describe Enso's murderous tendencies he's had before within the previous worlds. But what scared Hagakure the most about listening, was finally overhearing who this 'Lynch' was and what he had done to Izuku and to many innocent civilians.

She wished she hadn't heard about him afterword.

"Yeah, I went through a lot. But it's fine now! I've gotten much stronger than then!"

They both still had their backs turned to one another, simply listening to one another's words.

"I didn't know you were going through so many things Midori. I really don't think you should've kept all of it a secret from everyone." Hagakure told him.

Izuku scratched his chin with a finger nervously, "I-I mean... If in the middle of the year, say after the Hosu incident, I suddenly said that Enso was another worldly being, had committed actions that you guys would consider are of a villain, never got punished for them in his previous worlds, and had now ended up here just to train me to be strong like him, then would you trust him?"

"Hell no."

"Exactly." Izuku managed to chuckle. "I couldn't exactly have everyone think that he was some terrible person... He was really just misunderstood on what it was he should've done to help himself... He just wants to remember who he was and to stop Lynch."

"I know you said that he's... 'good' now and all that. But do you really think that?"

"Well, I'm alive." Izuku chuckled.

"Don't joke like that please."

Izuku flinched and looked down in embarrassment. "S-Sorry."

They both maintained an uncomfortable silence.

"L-Look. I know Enso can be overwhelming to understand. But he really means well. Even now, it seems that he's actually trying to get along better with the class."

"I guess so. He did help Mina and I make the best curry we've ever tasted." Hagakure said, even drooling a bit thinking about it.

"Yeah. So you shouldn't really worry."

"But, I'm more worried about you Midori... After hearing everything that happened to you, you can't expect me not to be worried. Especially with this scary Lynch guy planning to come after you, you could suddenly be..." she paused. "I-I just can't feel alright with it."

Izuku looked down. "I'm sorry. I know it's selfish of me to ask you to just look the other way and not tell anyone about what we're talking about, but anyone just knowing about Lynch could bring them into terrible danger... So please."

Hagakure sighed, "I- I don't know Midori. Mina's been worried about you so many times. Keeping such a secret from her involving you would be- I-It would be kind of hard. I'm her best friend."

Izuku turned to her and bowed, his face an inch above the water. "Please Hagakure!"

Hagakure turned and was taken aback by the boy suddenly bowing to her, but seeing how desperate he was to keep things a secret, she couldn't help but feel like she had to comply with the boy.

"Fine..."

"Thank you!" Izuku stood up straight with a relieved expression on his face.

But then he turned around, flustered once more. Hagakure looked down at her invisible body, then looked back at Izuku in some confusion.

"Um, Midori? Why do you keep turning around like that?"

"Y-You're right here..."

"And?" Hagakure questioned.

"W-Well I m-mean, y-you're..." his voice trailed off.

"I'm what?! Tell me!" Hagakure poked the boy's back.

Her sudden poke caused Izuku to finally blurt out, "Your naked!"

She froze.

"What?" Hagakure looked at herself once more. She obviously knew that she was naked the entire time, but that's ironically what confused her the most about why Izuku felt this embarrassed.

"Um, Midori? You know... You can't even see anything, right?"

Izuku started fiddling with his fingers, "Th-That may be true, b-but-" He then scratched the top of his head, "How do I say this? J-Just knowing a girl is naked right behind me is kinda... too much."

"But you were always fine with me in my hero costume. You even stood near me sometimes without reacting." Hagakure pointed out.

"Th-Th-That's different! I'm always focused on our hero things during those times!"

Hagakure was baffled. Every other guy she had met during her lifetime had never gotten so red around her. Sure, there were times they would feel uncomfortable and awkward to know that a girl was naked near them, but Izuku was on another level of embarrassed. Being invisible, Hagakure had always assumed that she would never have the same charm that any other girl had to make a boy feel so flustered, yet here was Izuku actually thinking about her body. Sort of.

If Hagakure saw Izuku get this embarrassed near the beginning of the school year, Hagakure would've assumed that Izuku getting this red was because he was even close to getting used to any girls at all. But at this point, he had gotten much more comfortable around them, so Hagakure knew it wasn't just his usual embarrassment, he was genuinely conscious of her as a girl.

She wanted to know more about what Izuku thought about her.

She nervously moved closer to him in the water, "Midori... Do you think I'm cute?"

"Eh?"

Izuku felt Hagakure's arms wrap around him from behind, then putting herself close to the boy in a hug. A hug of which Izuku feel her fairly curvaceous figure pressed against him. His mouth hung open and Hagakure could feel the boy's body temperature increasing.

"H-H-H-H-Haga-Hagakure?!"

"Even though you can't see anything, even though there's nothing to look at... do you still think I'm cute?" She whispered.

Izuku nervously gulped down air, "C-Calm down Izuku. Th-This isn't the first time a girl asked this."

...

...

"But this is the first time a girl asked that completely naked!"

Izuku took a deep breath, trying to ignore the feeling of Hagakure on his back.

"Y-Yeah, you're c-cute."

There was a moment of silence.

"How? How am I cute?" Hagakure asked him to confirm, wondering if he's just being too nice.

"Well..." Izuku looked up into the sky. "Y-You're always so cheery and bubbly during class and can be really confident in yourself and others. Like when all of the girls ended up wearing cheerleading uniforms, you ended up going along with it and started cheering for everyone, even me, it was... adorable."

Hagakure could feel herself blushing as Izuku continued on.

"Your really social and can talk to anyone easily, compared to me who had trouble just introducing myself to a person... And although you seem to be worried that being invisible hides how cute you are, it really doesn't. The way you move and act is more than enough to show that side of you. Energetically waving your arms and pom-poms as you cheered for everyone in your cheerleading outfit, suddenly hugging me after you passed your exam to show how happy you were, and the way you move your body when your feeling excited was always nice to see. It showed everyone who you were."

Izuku stopped talking and realized that he had been rambling for a while.

"A-Ah! I'm sorry! I-I've been talking too much!"

Hagakure slightly loosened her hug, but she placed her forehead on Izuku's back.

"Do you mean it?" She asked him.

"Huh? W-Well, why wouldn't I mean it?" was Izuku's instinctive response.

She felt her heart skip a beat.

"How can he just say something like that? It's no wonder everyone likes him... He's too much of a good person! Strong, kind, cute, and a good chef too..."

Izuku nervously gulped down air, "If this is going where I think it's going, then I'll have to ask her..."

"H-Hagakure?"

"Yeah?" she faintly called out.

It was now or never for Izuku, the words from Tsu had constantly kept echoing in his head. He had to start figuring some things out, and now was the perfect mood for him to start asking.

"D-Do you... l-l-l-like me?"

Hagakure's eyes widened as she and Izuku kept still in the water.

Izuku was more than just nervous, he was terrified. He had finally asked the question. He didn't even know what would happen if she said yes, he didn't know what he would tell her afterword. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to ask her what he did now, but he already did.

But he got an answer he didn't expect.

Hagakure backed off from him and frantically spoke as she flailed her arms in the water, creating many small splashes.

"N-No, no, no, no! Of course not!"

Izuku turned to her with his mouth agape, "EEEEEEEEHHH!?!"

"I-It's true that I lost a bit of confidence, but now I know that I'm cute! I-It was also really fun to just tease you Midori! Y-You really do look funny when you get embarrassed! Hahaha."

Izuku was baffled for a moment, before regaining his composure and letting out a small sigh. "I don't know if I should be glad, or feel bad."

He then smiled, letting it be the end of that.

"Well, I'm glad that I made you feel better."

"Y-Yeah." Hagakure was definitely glad that she was completely invisible now, otherwise, Izuku would've seen just how red she was.

"That was close, I nearly got into the moment. Sorry Mina..." she thought to herself.

"W-Well, I think we've been in here long enough. I-I'm gonna go. P-Please don't stare." Izuku muttered meekly as he went through the water and passed the girl.

Hagakure, of course, did the opposite, but instead of just staring at any of the muscles Izuku had, she focused on the horrid scar on Izuku's back, feeling a shiver go down her spine to think about how getting it felt for him. Getting reminded of who did that to him, Hagakure felt worried. Izuku would have to fight the monster who did that to him? The one that loved to torture people in different ways for fun, the one that Enso himself had trouble fighting?

She couldn't feel okay with this.

"Midori?"

Izuku stopped as he almost got out of the water, turning to the girl.

"Yeah?"

"That guy, Lynch... Will you really have to fight him one day?"

Izuku could hear the worry in her voice, lowering his head with a 'not so sure' look.

"Yeah... I have to help Enso fight him so that he'll never hurt anyone else again."

Hagakure still didn't feel okay with Izuku just keeping silent about this from everyone else, but she had to support the boy.

"Alright!" She slightly rose out of the water with her arms in the air. "Make sure to get really strong then Midori! But don't forget that everyone else and I would help you fight this guy! Don't think that you and Enso have to fight him yourself!"

Izuku's eyes widened in surprise to hear that. Despite all the terrifying things he told Hagakure about Lynch, she would still fight alongside him against a bloodthirsty villain? But Izuku immediately knew why that was the case.

"That's right... We're all heroes. Everyone is getting stronger, everyone wants to be strong and fight to stop villains, they want to save people. I'm sure Enso knows this, so why wouldn't he want to trust the class up to this point? If Hagakure was okay with him after hearing everything he's done, then I'm sure the rest would also accept him."

He then remembered the conversation he had with Enso moments ago, remembering exact words from him:

"Because as long as he's alive, innocents suffer for his amusement, as long as he's alive, he'll do anything to get to me by harming those innocents. All those people he's killed, I'm responsible for their deaths for letting him live."

Izuku came to a realization, his eyes lighting up from it.

"Could it be, that Enso has been choosing to get as few people involved with him not because of keeping his origin of other worlds secret or to avoid any trouble from people who would view him hostile, but actually because he didn't want anyone else to get killed because of Lynch?"

He looked down.

"He acted as if he didn't care about people from the start, but it was the opposite. He just didn't want people involved. But now he's actually warming up to them, so does that mean... There's a chance that he may tell them soon?"

Izuku turned back to Hagakure with a big smile "I wouldn't ever forget about you guys! Thank you Hagakure!"

He then got out of the water with his towel wrapped around him, rushing out the area and into the changing room.

After he left, Hagakure let out a sigh of sadness and sunk into the water.

"If Mina didn't like him, then I might've..."

__________________________________________________________

~{Next Day}~

"You're heading off with Ragdoll again?" Izuku asked Enso.

"Yes, as we've spoken about before, I intend to have another session with Ragdoll and tell her about me and our situation."

"I feel like your situation isn't even gonna be a secret at this point. We've told Hagakure and now you're going to tell Ragdoll..." Izuku sighed.

"With Hagakure, that was an accident. With Ragdoll, I wish to understand more about myself, so telling her would be necessary for that. Besides, she may actually be a helpful 'friend'."

"You're not gonna plan on abusing her expertise to search up private information of anyone, are you?"

"..."

"Don't use others like that!"

Izuku and Enso were outside bright and early in the morning once again, their classmates were already heading to their stations once more as Aizawa told them to go back to refocusing on their quirks. Enso had already decided to go with Ragdoll, both Iida and Todoroki were going to join the class in their quirk exercises, and Shinso would most likely be getting tied up by Aizawa once more.

"Alright. Is there anything you want me to work on while you're with Ragdoll?" Izuku asked him.

"Talk to Aizawa, he's most likely know what to have you do."

"Well, can't be worse than what I've already gone through with Enso..."

"Come along kitten!" Ragdoll called as she waved her hands in the air by the forest.

"I'll see you later." With that, Enso followed Ragdoll into the forest once more, leaving Izuku alone and looking around at all of his other classmates working hard.

"I can't laze around, I gotta work hard just like them!" Feeling determined, Izuku rushed over to Aizawa, who was waiting on Shinso to arrive for their training session.

"Sensei? What do you think I should do?"

"Hm?" Aizawa looked down at the boy, "You're not with Ureshi?"

"He went with a Ragdoll again."

Aizawa raised an eyebrow, "Is that woman trying to get some answers out of the boy?"

He then rubbed the back of his head, "Then why not join Tiger's group since your quirk is a physical power-up type?"

"W-Well, with all due respect to Tiger, I don't think he'll help me. His training regimen he's having others do is mostly about breaking their muscles fibers apart so that they could heal to become even stronger. I've already done that with Enso... A lot."

"Hm, and if I told you to break the limits of your quirk, then you would probably just break your arms again."

Izuku sweatdropped.

"Then what it sounds like you need most right now is more combat experience against different opponents."

"I can help with that Aizawa!" A sudden voice called out.

Aizawa and Izuku both turned their heads to see Mirio smiling with his hands on his hips, dressed in the U.A gym uniform like everyone else.

"Shouldn't you be going around helping the other students?" Aizawa asked, raising an eyebrow.

"That's what I'm doing! I'm going to help Midoirya here! Nothing like some good old hand-to-hand combat to help someone!"

"I hope he doesn't apply that idea in everyday problems." Izuku nervously thought.

"Fine. You could 'help' him." Aizawa said.

"Great! Come on Midoriya, let's find a better place to fight!" Mirio happily said as he pat the boy on the shoulder.

"A-Alright Mirio." Izuku nervously said, wondering what type of fighting style one of the Big Three would have. "Th-There's a clearing near the rocky cliff we could go to. It's open and flat enough to fight in without any obstacles in it."

"Then lead the way!"

As they made their way to the clearing, Bakugo saw them from the corner of his eye.

"Where the fuck are they going? Is Deku trying to suck up to the Big Three?"

Bakugo gritted his teeth, then pulling his hands out of the bucket of water and turning his head to the direction of Tamaki of the Big Three, who was currently helping Shoji out with strengthening his multiple limbs.

"HEY! OTHER EMO BOY!"

"Eh!? Me?!" Tamaki uttered as he saw Bakugo looking in his direction.

"Fight me!" Bakugo commanded.

"Oh boy..." Aizawa sighed.

__________________________________________________

Ochako got out of the small, inflatable rolling ball with the help of Nejire. She looked to be on the brink of vomiting as she stepped out of the ball, using one hand to hold onto her stomach and the other to cover her mouth.

Nejire supported her up and the two moved away from the bottom of the rocky mountain.

"You alright Uraraka?" Nejire asked as the two made their way in the direction of the porta-potty.

Ochako weakly removed her hand from her mouth, "I-I'm fine. I've been doing this many times and think I'm beginning to get used to it."

"I'm amazed that you're able to keep going up and rolling down for so long!" Nejire praised her with a big smile.

"Th-Thank you." Ochako uttered, forming a small smile despite the nauseous feeling she had.

"Hm? What are Mirio and Midoriya doing?" Nejire suddenly asked, halting their walk.

Ochako forced her head up to glance at the two boys stretching on the open field.

Her eyes widened.

"Are... Are they gonna fight?"

Stars appeared in Nejire's eyes, "Oh boy! I wanna see that! You wanna go watch too Uraraka?!"

"Um, sure... Just set me down somewhere where I can sit down and rest." she weakly answered.

"Yay! Let's go!" Nejire said as she eagerly moved forward with Ochako.

"S-Slow down! I might get sick!"

Momo just came out of the porta-potty holding her stomach with a small look of shame.

"For me to throw up, I'm glad that no one else was watching me... I have to overcome this." She then looked up and saw Izuku and Mirio stretching, making her eyes widen. "Are they going to fight?"

Many of Izuku's other classmates and even some people of class 1-B noticed them in the middle of the open field. Some stopped what they were doing and stared, while others continued to work on their quirks while occasionally glancing over and wondering what was gonna happen.

After finishing their stretches, Mirio stood up straight with his hands near his sides. "So Midoriya, you ready to show me what you and your friend can do?"

Izuku stood up too, "Well..."

Ikari emerged from behind Izuku and started punching the air like a boxer.

"We can do it partner! Let's show him what we're made of!"

Izuku was surprised by Ikari's excitement to fight, but he smiled and nodded to him. "Yeah, let's give it our Plus Ultra!"

"That's good! Your quirk appears to be really energetic!" Mirio laughed. "You can come at me anytime, from anywhere."

"I'll take you up on that!" Izuku crouched onto the ground and activated Full Cowling at the maximum percent he could go.

"Let's do this!" Ikari circled around Izuku before fading into a black aura around him, with Izuku's eyes still maintaining their green color.

Ochako's eyes widened as she watched the spectacle, "He's using both versions of his quirk at the same time?"

"OO! Flashy!" Nejire commented.

Izuku felt his excitement growing, the black firey aura around him flaring up and the green electricity from One For All sparking around him. "The person at the top of U.A. If I'm ever going to spar with someone, this is the best that I could ask for. I've been fighting against Enso a lot, but he's still on a different level than me. I already know the gap between him and I, but now I have to find out the distance between the top of U.A and the me now."

"I look forward to your teachings!" Izuku then blasted forward and leaped over the ground towards the teen.

But as he got closer, the senior's clothes fell off.
