"Her quirk manifested then?"

"Yes ma'am."

A cruel smile played at her lips as she leaned back in her seat," Well then, it's time to put our plan into play. If Ren won't allow me to live, then I'll just have to kill that bright soul of our daughter then, right Sayuri?"

"Yes."

"Go, we start now."

Sayuri bowed and left the small room.

The sound of the dismissal bell sounded through a small radius of the school and hordes of children poured out of the doors. Many running to greet their parents, others having trouble finding their parents in the massive crowd.

Aimi stood on her top toes as she searched for her father.

"Ai-san..." Bakugo sighed as he walked out.

Aimi looked at her friend in reply.

"N-not that I care or anything b-but... do you wanna train together... maybe?" He scoffed, a scowl on his face.

Aimi smiled," Sure Katsu-kun."

A faint smile formed on his face," Cool. I'll see you soon then Ai-san."

Aimi nodded and watched as her friend head to his mother. Spotting her own father instantly after.

"Papa!" She laughed running to her father.

Ren smiled and hugged his daughter tight.

"Katsu-kun wants to train together." Aimi spoke quickly.

Ren smiled and nodded," Well, that's good. At least he isn't mad at you right?"

Aimi nodded as the two started to walk.

"How was school today?" Ren smiled as he walked with his daughter who skipped happily beside him.

Aimi smiled," Good, Izu-kun is going to help me figure out my quirk!"

"Oh really, well that's fun." Ren chuckled.

Aimi nodded happily," Izu-kun is smart about quirks and stuff!"

Ren nodded," I'm sure he is honey. I'll talk to Bakugo's mom and see when we can get together ok?"

Aimi nodded and giggled happily.

Up ahead of them a woman dropped her things and fell to the ground.

"Papa!" Aimi gasped and pointed.

Ren let go of his daughter's hand and rushed to help the woman. Aimi stayed behind but as close as she dared to get from her father and the woman not wanting to get in the way.

"Are you ok?" Ren asked quickly as he helped the woman up.

She nodded," I suppose I lost my footing." She offered a kind smile," Thank you."

Ren nodded and nodded to Aimi who rushed over to help gather the women's things.

"You really don't have to do this." The woman insisted as she hurried to gather her things.

"Of course we do." Aimi smiled," it's always good to help others!"

"Why aren't you a cute thing." The woman complimented.

Ren smiled as he helped gather the items.

"What is your name sweetheart?"

"Saito Aimi!" She giggles happily.
