Thank you so much for the support, and let's get right into this chapter!

Walking along the carpet beneath him with Toga behind him following, he eventually reached the conference table that held multiple microphones.

He was about to hold a conference about the World's Martial Arts Tournament that was being held in a week's time, and Asics asked him to hold it to increase publicity.

There were a lot of reporters in the room, he counts at least 70. There were multiple cameras stationed too, so the pressure was on. Sitting down in the middle of the table, he taps the mic to check before leaning in.

"Ah, good morning, everyone. I'll not be taking questions after my announcement, so I'm sorry if you have readied any questions to ask."

And with a cough to clear his throat, he grins at the camera before revealing his announcement.

"I vow... That I'll win the World's Martial Arts Tournament as first place."

Utter silence.

"I know, I know... I'm just 12 right? How can I compete with 30-year-olds who are more experienced than me... The answer was, I don't care. I'll just do what I do and crush anyone who stands in my way. I will get first, that I promise."

And at that, he walked away with Toga in tow, ignoring the cries of reporters begging to interview him.

"Sigh... I knew something like this would happen..."

Kenichi facepalms at his best friend's pledge. He knew that something would happen upon seeing the boy's face this morning, but who knew that he would do such a thing?

No, that's a stupid question. This was Jin Gohru he was talking about, he thrives in this.

"Who cares? The drama is worth it." Dabi grins at the shell-shook face of the reporters upon the announcement as Buba was dancing behind the couch.

"Woooo! You go, Boss man! | Yeah! Fuck them up, Boss man!"

"Ugh... More paperwork..." Groaned Lisa who was watching the news with the trio while holding a can of Asahi beer. She was introduced to the gang once they were all collected — I mean, hired by Gohru almost 3 years ago, and now she was quite close to them.

"But still, nice work with Toga's disguise, Liz. Looks really natural."

"Thanks, Ken. It took a lot out of me too, I think I lost almost 5 pounds from that." She grinned as she patted her stomach, happy that she doesn't have to exercise to lose so much fat.

Toga looked incredibly different. Gone were her cat-like eyes, and what replaced them were sky-blue eyes with normal pupils. Her hair color had changed too, from light blond hair to chocolate brown. Even her facial features were changed slightly. It was like Toga was a totally different person altogether.

The moment the two came back home, they immediately switched to more comfortable clothing before hitting the couch.
