A few days had passed. Nothing much has happened. The class chose Iida as their representative, and Aizawa-sensei had a new bathroom put in for Aki. Ever since that day when Aki confronted Aizawa-sensei. He's been in a different sort of mood in front of her(today). Other than that, everything else has been going completely normal. But today Aki had heard we were actually going somewhere.

"Today's training will be a little different," Aizawa-sensei was saying. "You'll have three instructors. I, All-Might, and another faculty member will be keeping tabs on you."

"Sensei," A guy in the back, whose name was 瀬呂範太(Hanta Sero), shouted, "What kind of training is this?"

"Rescue. You'll be dealing with natural disasters, shipwrecks, stuff like that." Rescue training? That sounds more like my kind of style! Everyone was getting excited over the fact, talking and chatting, so Aizawa had to quiet them all.

"Guys, I'm not finished yet. What you wear in this exercise is up to you. I know you're excited about costumes." Oh yeah, this time I actually get to show off my quirk. Especially if this place is going to have water in it. Aizawa opened the lockers that were where the costumes were stored. "But keep in mind that you haven't gotten used to them yet, and they might limit your abilities. This special training's at an off-campus facility, so we'll be taking a bus to get there. That's all. Start getting ready." With that, he walked out of the room, and everyone grabbed their costumes and went after him.

After Aki got dressed, she saw Deku out only wearing his P.E outfit.

"You saw it after the combat training, it was kinda trashed," Deku was saying to Uraraka and Aki. "I'm still waiting for the support company to fix it up."

Aki was about to respond to him, but a shrill whistle was blown, by Iida. He was telling everyone to get in line and board the bus 'efficiently.' He's really taking his role seriously.

We were all in the bus chilling. On one side of Aki was Tsu, and on the other was Uraraka, who was sitting next to Deku, who was sitting next to Iida. The class was all chatting and getting along when Tsu said something to Deku.

"That power of yours, isn't it a lot like All-Might's?" Deku was freaking out and reassuring us that it wasn't. If it was, it would make sense that he would be friends with All-Might.

"Wait hold on, Tsu." A boy named 切島鋭児郎(Eijiro Kirishima) was saying from next to Tsu. "You're forgetting All-Might doesn't hurt himself. That makes a huge difference. Still, your quirk is really cool! You could do a lot of flashy stuff with it. My hardening is super strong, but it isn't all that impressive."

Deku chimed in, saying that he did think that Kirishima's quirk was impressive.

"You really think so? Seems like it'd be easier to be a popular hero if I had something flashier."

Then everyone started talking about how Todoroki and Bakugo are the only ones that have pro-quirks.

Tsu took a risky move saying, "Sure, but Bakugo-san's always angry, so he'll never be that popular."

That got his attention. "What did you say? I'll kick your ass!"

"You see?" Aki snuffled a laugh. That would only make Bakugo angrier.

The guy who was sitting next to Bakugo, 上鳴電気(Denki Kaminari) was his name, Aki thought, looked at him. "You know we basically just met you, so it's kinda telling that we all know your personality is flaming crap mixed with garbage." Once again, Aki almost laughed but was able to contain it. That is so true.

Bakugo continued to shout at him, and the conversation continued until Aizawa came through. "Hey, hey we're here. Stop messing around."

When they got there, they were immediately greeted by what Aki recognized as the pro-rescue-hero Thirteen. "Hello, everyone. I've been waiting for you."

"Woohoo! Thirteen is one of my favorite heroes!" Uraraka said, next to Aki. Yeah, I also want to be some sort of rescue hero like her, if I was to become a hero. This brought her back to her family, and her brother. The last time they had chat was the day after she talked to Aizawa. He had just sighed and wondered why he would tell her. Aki remembered him saying,

"I think he admires you." Sure, admires me. Is calling me a problem-child admiring me? That day, after school, Aki had found a spot to sit down behind the main building. He wasn't crying, just thinking. After a while, a light gray kitten walked over to him.

"Hello, there. What are you doing out here?" Aki remembered always wanting a cat, but he couldn't because his mom was allergic. Instead, they got stuck with Shinji. But he was alright. Aki started to stroke the cat, surprised that it came this close to him. He didn't even realize the person standing over him.

"That's a cute cat you got there," Aizawa knelt down next to him and also started to stoke the kitten. "What are you doing back here?"

"Oh, Aizawa-sensei! I didn't realize...I thought I could...sorry!" Aki had started to stand, but Aizawa ushered him back down.

"You're going to scare the cat. Don't do that."

"Yes, Sensei." Aizawa didn't glance up at him but kept stroking the cat. There was a moment between the two before Aki had gotten uncomfortable. "I should probably go now. My mom will be worried." Aki had just lied. He knew his mom wasn't going to be home.

"How is Sora, anyways?" Aizawa still didn't look up at him but kept stroking the cat which surprisingly hadn't run away.

"She's...she's just...I don't know. Probably much different than when you last saw her."

Uraraka pulled Aki back into the future. The class was going into the building, and everyone was chatting about how sick it looked. Aki just saw a shipwreck area and knew that's where she would do best.

Aizawa-sensei walked up to Thirteen and started to talk to her. If Aki had a guess of what they were talking about, it would be the fact that All-Might isn't here yet. Aki wondered if he would be there eventually, or if he was taking the day off.

Thirteen was talking to the students about how dangerous our quirks could be, but Aki wasn't paying too much attention. She probably should have, but she was more focused on what she would do, there was just so much!

When she was done talking, everyone applauded. Next to Aki, Iida nudged her to do that too. Aizawa started to talk, but before he could finish, all the lights went out and a bunch of stuff stopped working. Everyone gasped. Aki nearly fell over. Near the center, in front of a fountain, a purple and black portal formed.

Aizawa quickly spun around. "Everybody stick together and don't move! Thirteen, protect the students!"

Suddenly, the portal grew to ginormous size, and people started to walk out of it. Villains, I suppose. I don't think this is supposed to happen. Her classmates started to walk forward, but Aizawa yelled at them, "Stay back! This is real. Those are villains!"

Most gasped, and a couple screamed. Aki just stood in terror. Among the many villains, she recognized one of them. He was standing right next to a guy with messy blue-ish hair, and hands all over his body, including one right on his face.

It was her brother, Toru.
