I don't know how it came to this. Sora thought as she shielded her eyes from the burning bright sun. But I'm making the most of it! " Watch out, here I come!" She yelled throwing herself in the middle of the group, splashing them with water.

" Now you've done it, Sora-chan!" And so they set her as their target and began splashing nonstop while she made for the shores, laughing happily.

" Come on guys!" She said holding up a ball above her head. " You know there is no beach episode without handball!"

" Beach episode?" Sirius tilted her head in confusion.

" Anyway, come up here!" And so they did. The rest of the day was spent in between playing handball, swimming, and grilling barbeque. Sora wasn't sure if that was what work study was for, but she wasn't a party pooper so she also had to enjoy it to the very end.

Up a cliff, Selkie and Ryukyu were watching over them from under a parasol. Sora kept looking back at them every now and then, expecting them to shift from their relaxing stances to fighting ones any moment now. But that didn't happen.

" So, to sum it all up... this Trigger thing, is more like the boost drug that was circulating around right?" Sora asked hitting the ball towards Sirius. Now they were playing in the midst of the water.

" Yeah, we've said so back in the Agency." Hado pointed.

" No, what I mean.... There has to be a difference between those two things, right? If it's the same then, why not just call it a boost drug?"

" Well, you've got a point there," Sirius spoke calmly as she leaned on the floating ball. " You must all know by now, a boost drug only powers up the Quirk, it never changes the conditions for its activation."

Sora could recall Yuu telling her about that shortly after the incident they had with the Quirk Killing drug.

" But Trigger seems to be different. Like the name suggests, instead of just boosting the Quirk, it triggers its activation as well. Some say Trigger was originally developed to be able to trigger usually undetected Quirks."

" Undetected Quirks?" Uraraka blinked in surprise at that.

" Basically people who have Quirks yet don't know of its existence since they either don't know the activation condition or because it's something hard to notice. Like, if your Quirk gives you some extra interior organ or changes your bones to metal, you're unlikely to discover that unless you've been checked by the hospital," Sora told her.

" The medicine was then lumped for it bore terminal side effects on the users. But apparently, other people used the idea to create some illegal drugs, regardless of the aftereffects." Sirius continued. She straightened up and passed the ball to Uraraka who clutched it hard in her hands.

" That's unforgivable."

" You're right, Ochaco-chan. We're going to stop them from smuggling this drug." Asui was more than serious about it too. It wasn't before long that they were called by their supervisors. Apparently, the time to move came...

Sora watched as the boat sailing towards the horizon was boarded by Selkie's crew, Uraraka, and Asui.

"We're going too, Nejire-chan, Angie," Ryukyu told them as she touched her metal claw, beginning her transformation. Sora and Hado flew close behind her. They flew around the islands, trying to find any sign of the targeted ship. Sora squinted at the areas around them, even lowering her attitude to check some caves.

She rose up beside her mentor and shook her head. " This is Ryukyu. Nothing to report. Please direct me to the next search point. "

" Roger. Please head to point 43." Sirius' voice resounded through their comms and they hurried to the described location. But before even reaching the borders, they were informed of the identification of the ship's whereabouts and told to head to point 57.
