The next morning we woke uo early to the announcement system. It would be the first and last time we were awakened by someone else, according to the Endeavour over the PA, they would have to find a way to wake themselves up on time.

We got changed and met up with Endeavour in the gym.

We were made to train our weak points. Shouto had to learn to control his left side while I worked on using two parts of my quirk simultaneously as well as new combinations.

We managed to get pretty good under Endeavor's strict guidance. I managed to fuse together my fire and water parts of my quirk. Using small rises and drops in heat by lighting then extinguishing fire around my hands at a rate about the speed of mach 1, I was able to start forming crackles of static electricity. It was probably one of the hardest things I've ever done although all my combinations, aside from ice, are extremely hard to form. However, as the day passed I got the hang of it and found out that around mach five was where the electricity as strong enough to not be volitile but would become stable and could easily paralyze someone. Yeah I accidentally shocked a bodyguard when he walked in front of me and he was out for a good few hours.

Then we trained heavily until evening where Endeavour ordered us to fight against him, hand to hand.

We were both wary but undaunted. We shared a quick look and soon settled into a rythmn, one would attack when the other was recovering. This was like a violent tango, we would have to weave between the burly man and hit him before he could hit us back. Alone we would probably never stand a chance, but together we covered each other's blindspots well.

Of course we weren't having it easy, far from it. The slightest rest would be all we could take, any longer and a punch would fly to your gut. I took a good few, almost getting knocked to the floor whenever I became the slightest bit sluggish.

And Shouto wasn't spared either, he seemed used to his father's movements but was still affected by the hits. However, they weren't the worst I've felt, thank my old man for that. Shouto seemed to be ok too.

However, the difference in experience and stature soon showed itself as we got knocked to the floor by a particularly strong elbow and fist, respectively, to the chest. I fell back and the wind was knocked out of me. That was all it took for Endeavour to get the upper hand. Slowly we were beaten more and more in all out offensive attempts and soon we were both on the floor, bruises forming and muscle aching.

Still we had to get back up and change into our hero costumes and accompany Endeavour on a patrol.

I wasn't expecting it to be easy but he was definitely a lot more eager to beat some skill into us than other pro heroes. We were both aching all over, Shouto had a big bruise right on his chest and I had a similar one right on my side. But we bandaged ourselves up quickly and changed.

We both managed to get through the patrol with no major issues though I could spot the slight sway in every steo Shouto took and I wasn't exactly in top shape either. However, after about an hour outside I felt better as the pain faded and numbness settled in.

There weren't any real thugs or petty crimes today so it was more of smiling and waving at people who were passing by and fans who saw the UA Sports Festival, well I smiled, Shouto just gave small waves and nodded half the time. At least it was better than the frowny face of a pro hero we were following who basically glared down anyone who came too close.

Then when we went back we were made to train in the gym again until about four in the morning.

Then, we took a shower and went to bed. Yet again I had to dry and neaten up Shouto's hair before we left.

"Hey, Shouto." I mumbled from the top bunk. "What...?" He responded not long after. "Was he like this when you were young too?" I could hear his breath get caught in his throat. I didn't know what I was talking about but I couldn't bother, it was late and I couldn't help but be reminded by the pain on my side. "Yes..." He answered, voice monotonous as usual. "Guess that's why we are so similar~" I laugh dryly. "We both have tyrants as fathers..." I heard him let out a long breath, almost as though he was smiling in disaproval. "Well, goodnight Shouto..." I mumbled, eyes slowly shutting. "Goodnight Sora..."

The next day was very different, we were headed to Hosu city, the same one where Lida was. We were going to look for the Hero Killer, Stain.

We took a train to Hosu and arrived just before nightfall.

And as luck would have it, just as we arrived, there was a large explosion. Fire raged from a point in the city. We rushed to the scene, fire burning higher as more explosions errupted and rang through the crisp night air, the smell of smoke now spreading.

However, just before we could arrive, an alert rang on both mine and Shouto's phone. "Midoriya shared his location." I said, confused. "He's nearby..." Shouto mumbled. We both stopped looked at the pro hero ahead of us. and r
