Life Within a Tarot Deck

Day 3-The Verdict

Everyone returned the next morning, dreading that after yesterday's testimony may have extended the trial at least one more day, now having the trafficking ring to the mix as well as survivors' involvement. Izuku was notified after the trial the day prior, and that made him very irritable and snappy that morning. It was obvious that he won't be able to handle his rage today.

He had huddled closer to his trusted friends, strangely quiet and withdrawn where they knew he was thinking thoughts of what-ifs, and morbid vengeance. Katsuki was also thinking of some violent and gruesome techniques as well, trying to find ways for the blonde to use on the Pedo, even if it was illegal.

"Katsuki, Izuku, breathe. We are almost done." Mitsuki hushed them, seeing the tension and the look of murderous contempt on their faces. "Once this shit is over, we will leave for a well-deserved vacation, then get you back to school."

"As much as I want to leave the country, I would like to continue my education if UA is cleared to continue, or maybe transfer to Shiketsu."

"Shiketsu? That is in Okoyama, and far. Are you sure?"

"We are talking about it, but we aren't sure. If they deem UA unfit, then most likely. They are second best in Japan's Hero Courses, so that is our next bet. Depending on what the results will be, it will determine our next course." He huffed, lightly putting pressure on the verdanette's spine upon his request. "There is also a top support course there, according to Spy-Eyes, it is best in neuro-tech."

Mitsuki blinked before nodding at Katuski's answer and a determined look from both of her sons. "You think they may be able to help with Izuku's mobility?"

"That is what Mei said, and I know she isn't the type to lie or half-ass anything. If she knows they can help me, she will sell her babies to the devil if she's wrong." Izuku said while Denki rubbed a hand in the verdanette's hair, feeling the soothing tingle of his electricity calming his thoughts and anxiety. He looked around slowly, taking in the courtroom in front of him, slowly realizing some things were different. "Why are there more Pro Heroes and officers here? Did something happen?"

Mitsuki and Katsuki looked around as well, noticing too that there was more activity. "Orca and Thunderstrike are in uniform, what the hell? What is going on?"

"I don't really know, but Aunt Stormi received a call last night and I overheard them saying that she needed to be on duty today. Even if they are on emergency leave because of this trial, something must have been dangerous to override it." Denki said, blinking a few times at the intense energy around them. "The field is oppressive with them."

Yagi then came in, with two International Pro Heroes. One was a lean, average-height male, wearing a type of black tuxedo with silk baby blue edges and embroidery on it, shaped like carnation flowers. He also wore a large sombrero with the same embroidery patterns, except with white. His face was painted white as well, with other colors of blue, black and pink, making his face look more like a Day of the Dead sugar skull. The other Pro Hero was from the Netherlands. A female in deep pink hiking gear, with medicinal and weapons on her belt. She was Tulp, No. 1 in her country, and she held much respect within the IHPSC community.

"K-Kacchan! That is Pro Hero Señor Calaveras and Pro Hero Tulp! They are International Pro Heroes!!" Izuku whispered excitedly, turning to get a better look at them. "Señor Calaveras can paralyze a person with his quirk by shooting an arrow imbued with his aura into their shadow, stopping their movements! And Tulp, she is the No. 1 Quirkless Hero from Netherlands!"

"No shit, really?" Katsuki looked at the female in surprise, not expecting to see a Quirkless Pro Hero. "She looks like she can kick ass."

Tulp suddenly looked at him, surprising the blonde before winking at him, as if saying that it was correct before returning to her business. Katsuki had to hide his blush, not expecting the woman to respond like that. "Well, damn..."
