Estelle panted for breath as she jumped back into battle. Bounding over the creatures, Estelle lit her arms on fire and let out streams of flames towards her opponents. The howls rang out in the woods whilst she burned them alive, a bored expression on her face as she did so.

The ringing earpiece caught her attention, and Estelle answered as a pair of claws lunged to take a piece of her. "Report," Estelle stated blandly, the growls of the spirits ringing out around her.

"Uhhh, is this not a good time?" Izuku unsurely responded back. Estelle's eyes enlarged in bewilderment since it was the first time anybody within her class had called her. Concern rose at the potential implications of that.

"No, of course not. Is something happening? Is there a spirit around?"

"Uh, well. No?"

Caught off guard, Estelle barely managed to dodge the batsnouts attack before lunging back in with her Katana. Frowning in aggravation, Estelle bluntly voiced, "So why are you calling me when I'm working?"

"Wahhh! Well, uh - " Izuku tried to clarify nervously before he was cut off by another member of the class.

"Hey! Estelle! Get back soon! Lunch is ready!" Hagakure hollered out from the earpiece. Estelle winced from the abrupt sound and scowled.

"I'm working", She responded bluntly as she let out a stream of electricity through her Katana and sliced a few heads instantly. The screeches were loud enough for those on the other end to hear.

"Uh, are you sure everything is okay?!" Kirishima questioned with dread, the sounds causing them all to stop.

"Give me a second; I'm almost done with this batch", Estelle muttered back. Taking the last few stragglers down with fire laced daggers. Estelle was finally done with the south woods. This day was abnormal, and it put her on edge.

Spirits had been dead silent for over a week. And now, they were starting to come in hoards. It was like they were beginning to team up, and Estelle didn't like it, not one bit. It was fishy, and it stunk. Sighing to herself, Estelle slid the Katana back into her Saya and dropped herself onto the trunk. Forgetting some of the class were listening, Estelle jumped to the sound of Bakugo's harsh voice through her earpiece.

"Lioness! What the hell was that?"

"Jeez, calm down. I was just taking a seat."

"Tch. Sounded like you fell off a cliff."

"Yeah, whatever, what is it? You guys never call me."

"The class is all here. We thought we'd give you a ring before we eat because you haven't arrived back yet," Momo started.

"Yeah, but that sounded intense. Is everything okay?" Kaminari added.

Estelle leaned back further onto the trunk, her eyes gazing at the sky as she replied. "Somethings not right with these spirits. They not acting normal. I'm just looking into it."

Stunned silence was on the other end of the line. The class weren't expecting an answer like that from Estelle.

"Well! Investigate later! Come back for food."

"Wha-? No. I have a couple more-"

"Estelle, come back and eat. You can go back out once you've gotten some rest. You've been out since early morning."

Sighing, Estelle knew they were right. But she didn't like it. "Yeah, whatever. I'm on my way."

Ignoring their victorious responses, Estelle hung up and flew back to UA. Her mind whirring on the possibilities.
