Beneath our flashy superhero society lurks a dark underworld. Every time we've driven the villains back, they've retreated to the safety of the shadows, regaining their strength. Waiting for the perfect time to strike.
"The Master is good. I tried so hard to find out where those idiots were going, and he figured it out in an instant. Guess he really showed me up," Shigaraki says.
"It was worth having a team on standby, then, wasn't it? Tomura Shigaraki," Kurogiri asks him in a 'I told you' manner.
"Hmph. I guess."
*door bell chimes*
"I heard back from the union today. You can expect a delivery tomorrow. It was thrown together quickly, so it might not look like much. But quality is guaranteed," Giran says, not even walking through the door to reveal himself—only the presence of smoke comes through from the cigar he's smoking passes the door.
"I must apologize for making such an unreasonable request," Kurogiri says.
"Tell me, Shigaraki," Giran says as he finally makes his appearance into the abandoned bar. "Do you know why the union accepted this outlandish order of yours? 'Cause everyone's got high expectations of you. If the League of Villains steps into the light, then the scum hiding on the sidelines will follow suit. And if that happens, it means brokers like me win big. We'll be rolling in new customers. Crime pays."
"Oh, yes. You're gonna be so busy, you won't be able to keep up."
Giran chuckles. "I'm looking forward to that. Anyway, thanks," he says before walking out the door just as fast as he came in.
"The board is set with my pawns and their prey. Finally. Time for the real game to begin."

"Now that you've finished up your first semester at UA High, it's time for summer vacation to officially begin. However... Don't think these will be months of rest for you heroes-in-the-making. At this camp, we'll push you to go beyond your limits. You're aiming to become 'Plus Ultra!'," Mr. Aizawa says when we all arrived to leave for training camp.
"Yes, sir!" We all say.
"I'm so psyched! I've been looking forward to this camp all semester, Deku!" I hear Ochaco say as she gets real close to Izukun.
"Oh, yeah! It's definitely close, huh?" Izukun mutters out, his face cherry red. So close! I giggle quietly at how flustered he is.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Ochaco asks, completely oblivious on what she's doing.
"I'm just a little hot!"
"Huh?" She lets out before I see the realization on her face as hers too becomes red and backs away really fast. "Uh. Let's hear it for camp!"
