My Pawfect Rebirth

97: Blessed-Cursed

( Time skip to the following day! )

Izumi and Katsuki stood in front of both the Chief, Captain, the Emerald Dragon, the Demon Hound and... Aster. 

"You said Katsuki already knows what Jin smells like, how's that possible?" Anastasia asked. 

"Look, I know it might sound a bit crazy to just assume this, but hear me out, I know how Kacchan would know Twice's scent. Chief, do you remember back when Muscular, the fake Muscular, turned himself in and was acting strange when he was in question?" Izumi asked. 

"I do, but what does that have to do with anything?"

"If you remember, that was also when I had Kacchan go in the questioning room and get Muscular's scent. And right after that, Muscular dropped a marble from his mouth causing an explosion in the questioning room and for Mr. Compress to come." 

"Yes yes, I remember all of that, why're you bringing that up?" 

"Because Muscular was a copy made by Twice!" Izumi yelled, they all went silent. 

"Izumi, how do you know Muscular was actually a copy?" 

"Because right after the fake Muscular's body got hit by that explosion, his body melted into mud, and if you can't remember, Twice creates his copies by using mud." Izumi stated.

Chevy was surprised, he knew the greenette was smart, but nothing like this where she'd piece things together and everything works. 

"In the time I've actually studied each and every member of the League, it would make sense that Twice helped that day to create a fake Muscular and fooled all of us. The only reason I know this would be because Kacchan was telling Aster that the fake Muscular smelled like mud, which means Kacchan would never forget a scent either." Izumi said.

"Hmph, seems you take good notes on someone pretty well, Izuku." Emra said. 

"What do you think we should do, Emra?" Takashi asked. 

"For now, we'll have until nightfall, I can only assume that's when Twice will be out. It would be too dangerous to try and find him during the day since the streets are usually busy, so we'll just have to do the waiting game for right now. Chevy, Anastasia, report to Briar and tell her to keep on her toes for the next few days. Takashi, you're going to keep guarding Izuku and Katsuki until this is over. Aster, I need you to help Hana with her Spirit activities since she's responsible for this year's spirits. We can't let multiple spirits around the area when the time comes that we find Twice." Emra said, everyone nodded. 

"Any questions?" 

"Umm... what about me and Kacchan, Emra?" Izumi asked. 

"Ah- right, I suppose you'd like to know what you'll be doing."

Izumi blinked a few times as she still couldn't fathom what she was standing in. 

"Why... Why are we here?" Izumi asked. 

Izumi and Katsuki were standing in an abandoned building, and across from them a few feet away were Emra, Saeko and Takashi who was still as a wolf. 

"So... what're we doing here?" Izumi asked. 

"Isn't it obvious?" 

"We came here to help train you and your power!" Saeko said with excitement.
