A Bolt of Hope

Chapter 33 - For Better or For Worse -

"You're dismissed Sokudo, and welcome to Class 1-B." Vlad King told Hisako, extending his hand.

"Of course, thank you sir." Hisako said as she shook his hand firmly, catching Vlad King off guard with the strength of it. She left the classroom, heading out onto the gates of UA. She only had to wait a few minutes as Lavanai pulled up in her car. She got in and let out a small sigh.

"How'd it go Hisako?" Lavania asked as she started to begin driving back home.

"It went well, I'm going to be in Class 1-B by next week. They only ran a few tests by me since I was transferring from Shiketsu. I just have some work to do over the weekend to catch up with everyone else." Hisako explained as she looked out the window, watching the buildings pass by so quickly. Her mind drifting to what that strange half-brother of hers is doing.

"That's great! I'm just glad we got that sorted out after all of that paperwork!" Lavania said, derailing HIsako's train of thought. That was another thing that the two had to deal with in Leizcio's absence.

"It's been nearly two weeks since he's been gone. Do you think we'll get him by the end of this week?" Hisako bluntly asked. Lavania gripped the steering wheel a bit more and just sighed.

"All we can do is hope so Hisako. He has to realize soon that this isn't good for him." That was all that Lavania could say as that's what she's been telling herself mentally.

As the two got home and went inside, Hisako headed into her room and just put her backpack to the side of her desk. She lays down on her bed and just ponders. She was also told the multiple things that had happened throughout Leizcio's 'career'. More so, his reputation of having ignorance that could be compared to Mashito's levels of ignorance. Leizcio would just ignore warnings, whether it was from getting scrapped up every night or being told that it's not a good idea from his friend and sister.

There was no denying that he had a heroic spirit, but mix that with a reckless mindset, he doesn't care what happens so long as he gets the job done. And add what Lavania did, trying to take that away, no wonder he's avoided them like the plague.

"This is such a mess." Hisako mumbled to herself, seeing how both siblings are incredibly in the wrong.

"Esperanza! You good in there?" Blink asked as he knocked on his door.

Leizcio starts waking up and looks over to his phone, realizing that he woke up really late. He quickly gets out of bed and uses his speed to change.

"Sorry Blink! I overslept!" Leizcio apologized. Taking a quick glance down, he notices that he has his shirt on the other way around and quickly fixes it.

"It's alright kid, we're going to go out on patrol today so put on your costume! Meet us downstairs when you're ready." Blink told Leizcio as he began to head down. Leizcio closes the door and gets out his suitcase.

"I even forgot to go out on patrol..." Leizcio mumbled to himself as he looked at the vigilante suit under the bed. The hoodie is practically nothing at this point, scratched, burnt up, and dirtied. He sighs, disappointed in himself for not having been out. At least now he can patrol with Blink, and in his hero suit.

"You ready?" Blink asked as he saw Leizcio heading down.

"Yup."

Spectro joins the two and they all head out onto the streets for patrol. Looking around, Leizcio notices how much more populated the place looks in the day compared to night. Even during the night on his vigilante patrols, he saw that it was still lively compared to where he used to patrol.
