Middle 2/3

The men decided they would walk to the school today instead of riding in the white van with the masked driver, to suspicious, the children might run.

"Remind me again why we're walking Aizawa-san?"

Aizawa deadpaned, "A white van filled with suspicious looking men driving towards a school zone, put it together Toshinori."

"Oh." Toshinori was used to Aizawa's blunt attitude, but maybe he was taking it a bit to far. He's probably just stressed, Yagi suggested to himself, he'll be more calm towards me when this is over with.

They walked for about thirty minutes before they began to see the top of the elementry school building, Yagi sighed in releif, "Finally, this has been a very long walk." He glanced over at the other three and gasped when he saw they were just as fine as when they started walking. "How are you three not exhausted? We've been walking for such a long period of time..."

Vlad King smiled in pride, "Aizawa, Yamada, and I lived far, very far, from Yuuie, the walk to school itself was an hour, and then there was the walk back, which when the physical work we did in school pratically doubled in time. This is a walk in the park, literally." Hizashi and Aizawa nodded in agreement, it had been very exhausting the first year, but it soon became a regular practice and helped them win best endurance in the school. Yagi was only up there becuase his quirk and 'special training' help him.

Yagi nodded his head and refrained from talking for the rest of the walk, it had been foolish of him to not consider the fact that the other heroes had trained just as hard as him, mayber even harder. It made him wonder, what else had he ignored about the other heroes?

"One thing that never get's old with Yagi," Hizashi said out of the blue, "He may be a hero, but he treats every case like it's his first in terms of total confusion."

Vlad King quirked an eyebrow, "Did you just?...."

Aizawa, who had been riding on Hizashi's back, promptly jumped off, "I can't do this, Kan, you're carrying me now." Kan could barely process what happened before Aizawa jumped into his arms bridal style and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "Yamada, I'm ordering for a divorce."

Yamada cried out in agony, "Why??! Don't leave me Sho! Please come back! I'll buy you special coffee!"

Aizawa hummed and scratched his chin, "I don't know..." He looked up at Kan, "What do you have to offer?"

"Ummmm. I have a new kitten at home that I rescued recently, a calico." Kan didn't know what he was doing, but he sure as hell wasn't about to lose.

He nearly tripped after Aizawa kissed his cheek again, "I'm moving in with Kan and I'm taking Ms. Crumpets with me."

"Sho-"

"Shush, we'll continue this conversation later, we have approached the school and I see the second guide." He was right, the woman, who was dressed like Toph for some reason, was sitting on the elementry school swingset, not seeming to care about the rust that was gathering on her clothes. Hizashi let out a silent tear as he watched from the as his husband was carried away by a man who was far hunkier than Yamada could ever be. Yagi was just confused, did this mean the three were poly? Was Kan going to be joining in their relationship? Was Aizawa divorcing Yamada? Why? Was it what Yamada said? Yagi faintly remembers hearing that phrase somewhere, maybe he would have an assistant search it up later.

"I see you four have made it here safely, and I also see a small couples fued. This is interesting, but I'm not here to watch gay drama, I'm here to drop you off at the middle school. Which started two hours ago."

"Sorry," Kan said, "The tall skinny one isn't used to walking for more than five minutes."

"Ah, I understand now. Let us continue to the middle school, and since you were very loud yesterday when discussing your plan, some of the kids no and have alerted the guide, you now only have two hours to find the next guide." She smiled as if she hadn't just dropped a created a major knot in their plans.

"I have a question, about the next guide."

"What is it?" She said in a sweet voice.

"His name is Daisan, right?"

"Yes! How smart of you!!!"

"Just one more question."

"Yes?"

Hizashi looked over at Aizawa and back at Ni-banme before taking a deep breath in and speaking in a nasally voice, "What are three other things about him?"

Aizawa wiggled out of Kan's arms and jumped onto his back, refusing to even glance at Hizashi through the corner of eyes. Ni-banme laughed, "Well, he is not homeless, he is gay, and he does not have aids."

"Seki, grab my phone, we're leaving."

Sekijiro had to grab Aizawa's phone out of his hand, even though he was stunned at the sudden use of his first name, and tossed it to Yagi to stop Aizawa from calling Tsukuachi to come and pick them up. "I'm sorry Aizawa, we have to find the guide first." Aizawa pouted, something he didn't do very often.

Ni-banme beckoned Yamada forwards, "You're friend over there looks a little grupmy."

"He always looks grumpy, he does burn the candle at both ends after all."

It took Yagi and Kan to stop Aizawa from walking home, resulting in Aizawa being carried toddler style on Kan's hip with one arm supporting him. Yamada cried on the inside as he suffered through the knowing that what he was doing was tearing his marrige apart.

"We're here! Good luck finding my brother, you have one hour and thirty minutes left, I will find you when your time is up." She dissapeared yet again into thin air the second they blinked.

"Well now that we're here and know what to do, we have to figure out how the bracets work."

"But I thought we knew how they worked Aizawa-san?"

"You're some-what correct, we know who they function in gerneral, but in order to find Dasisan we need to know where he would be, to do this we have to-"

"Understand the position of the bracets, yes I understand now." Toshinori reached inside his back pocket and pulled out the same tiny notebook from before, "I'll keep notes then."

They walked over towards the bracets and much to their suprise, their was a teacher there waiting for them.

"I'm here to tell you how to decipher this thing, the sooner you know how to the sooner you can leave and the real tournament can begin." He sounded tired and he looked angry. Kind of like Aizawa. "Here's how it works, this bracet if for fifth grade only, the other grades are spread throughout the yard, if you're not blind, you might see the lines dug in the yard, those are the bondaries for each battle. The boundaries are in the same position on the board as they are on the ground, got it? Good because the next match it about to start." The teacher marched away from them and sat at the base of the steps.

"That was easy."
