Hiro: (Groggy) Huh? What's going on?
Realizing Ryuko and Lily are sleeping next to him

Carefully untangling himself from the two sleeping girls, Hiro slips out of the room and heads to the living room, where he finds Asia sitting on the couch.

Hiro: (Rubbing his eyes) Asia, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?

Asia: (Worried) Hiro, I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd come down here and read a book. I saw Ryuko and Lily sleeping in your room, so I didn't want to disturb you guys

Hiro: (Smiles) You're such a caring person, Asia. I'll make sure they're alright in the morning. But, you know, I couldn't sleep either. Just having some thoughts I guess

Asia: (Curious) What's on your mind, Hiro?

Hiro: (Explaining) I don't really know, it was a weird dream but I woke up and I forgot about it and then I couldn't sleep

Asia: (Supportive) : don't let it disturb you Hiro

Hiro: (Grateful) Thanks, Asia.

Asia: (Determined) Well, why don't we do something about it? Let's go to the gymnasium at the school and meet with Sona and her peerage. Maybe there's something we can do together to strengthen our skills and show our worth.

Hiro: (thoughtful)we can use it to find a dragon familiar for you due to your sacred gear

She nodded

They were currently in the gymnasium preparing for the dodgeball match with Rias group

Hiro Gently helping Asia with her stretches

Hiro:Come on, Asia, you've got this. Just a bit more.

Asia: (Groaning in discomfort) Hiro, this hurts. Are you sure I need to stretch this much?

Hiro: (Encouraging) I promise, it's for the best. Proper stretching is essential for improving your flexibility and preventing injuries. You'll thank me later.

Asia: (Managing a weak smile) I hope so. It just feels like my muscles are protesting right now.

Hiro: (Lightly) Think of it as a friendly chat with your muscles. You're telling them it's time to loosen up and be ready for action.

Asia: (Chuckles) If that's the case, my muscles are quite talkative tonight.

Hiro: (Continuing to guide her) It's all part of the process. Just a few more seconds on this side...

Asia: (Taking deep breaths) Okay, I can do it. I want to be ready for anything that comes our way.

Hiro: (Appreciative) That's the spirit, Asia. You're dedicated to improving, and that's what makes you an exceptional person

Asia: (Blushing) Thank you, Hiro. Your support means a lot to me.

Hiro: (Smiling) Of course, Asia. We're in this together, and I'm here to help you every step of the way.

The stretching session continues, with Hiro gently assisting Asia, and their conversation turning from groans to laughter as they work together to improve Asia's flexibility and overall physical readiness.

Tsubaki:(whispering) kaichou are you jealous why don't you go and meet him to help you stretch too

Sona:(scoffing)be quiet you

The gremory peerage appeared

Hiro: (Hostile) Rias, I despise you and your peerage, but I won't let you stop me from proving my worth. I'll control my power, and I'll join in, whether you like it or not.
