Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

ShadowUzumaki55; Thanks! Yeah, it seems that they took down Chitose, Geten and the group there. It seems that she can't control that no. It seems that he has yeah, lets see what happens with them in the future. Ren does understand that, he knows that they could turn on them at anytime so he's being careful with them.

Silver crow; Thanks very much. Yeah, we'll be getting moments with them. Yup, they all fought quite well. Yeah, with Geten it was difficult due to how Geten's Quirk could mostly nullify Rensuke's own, so he had to rely on fighting with a sword and his mind. Himiko and Chitose surely did have a wild clash, and their relationship right now is going to be a bit rocky. Gentle and La Brava are becoming closer it seems. Yup, it seems that they were able use the clones to effectiveness. Not yet, but I do know when that scene is going to come about. Yeah, it was around that time. Himiko managed to pull out a win in the end~ Yup, he can use his own blood to fight if he needs to it seems. Himiko and Rensuke shared a moment between them. For now it seems that they're on side. I suppose it could be seen like that yeah with Nana and Hana's Quirks. You never know what he's going to do with them huh. He's not going to truly know about it just yet. I'm sure that it would be yeah~ Yeah he could do something like that. That would be pretty cool to do. I suppose in a way, Himiko is like that huh. We'll have to wait and see what happens there. Yeah that would be cool if he did that for Melissa. Cool harem list! If we get to know them yeah, That would be pretty cool! That would be nice for Rappa to have any mask like those. I'm sure Hawks and Rensuke will have an interesting relationship. Perhaps he could be like that yeah. Kurogiri is more for Tomura than Rensuke. Haha, maybe he'll do just that. I've got something planned for Rensuke and Ochaco during the sports festival. Yeah, that would be cool~

guest; Thanks, and yeah in the future I probably will, I don't know when though.

issei; Yup, she surely is.

Dark Thundercat; I think you've got the wrong story.

StrikerTj; Here's the chapter!

Crow Martnez; Sure, I guess that it could be.

Unzueta; Something like that yeah~

Well, with those reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!

Preparations!

After what happened at Shoowayasha, Rensuke went to go and meet Yuki for some fun and relaxing times. After the hard battle, he hadn't had a chance to see her the previous day since he was so busy fighting among other things like that.

Walking into the room, Yuki greeted her cousin while smiling kindly.

"Hello, Ren! I'm glad you're here!"

Rensuke scratched the back of his head.

"It seems that you're hyper. You have some colour in your cheeks. How are you feeling?"

"Never better!"

Rensuke wondered if she was putting on a show or not.

Though it didn't seem quite likely.

Yuki only did it when she didn't feel well, and he could see that appearance wise, she seemed to be reacting alright, which he was quite pleased about.

"So, you've got the Sports Festival soon, big brother?"

"Indeed, just a week to go now."

Yuki clapped her hands together, and showed a kind smile on her face.

"It must be so amazing to do something like that, I'd love to do something like that."

"I know, but you can watch me, I'll be doing it for the both of us Yuki."

Yuki knew that he was being kind, but she still kept thinking about if she could do it.

If she could also go forward like this…

"Big brother, when you do the Sports Festival, it's only U.A students, right?"

"That's right, from what I've seen anyway."

"Then, I wonder what it's going to be like..."

Rensuke cocked an eyebrow upwards curiously.

"Is something on your mind?"

Yuki shakes her head side to side, giving off a kind expression.

"No, there's nothing I'm thinking about big brother. I'm just excited to see you fighting, I'm sure you'll do really well."

"Yeah, I'll try my best to win Yuki."

He knew he'd have to try his best.

She wouldn't want it any other way, which he was alright with.

Yuki giggled.

"I don't have any doubt you'd be able to do amazing things big brother. I'm sure if you try hard...you're going to succeed. Though there might be some strong people within the tournament itself."

"No doubt there will be. Don't worry, I'll make sure to try my best, even against the stronger members of any of the classes."

Yuki beamed as more thoughts came to her.

"Yes...it would be amazing to see you fight big brother..."

Rensuke gently petted her head.

"Ignore that for now, I'm glad you're feeling better. It means that you can spend more time outside, which you love to do~"

Rensuke's upbeat attitude caused her to smile happily.

It was things like this she was glad that Rensuke was as kind as he was, it made her feel happy to know she could rely on him.

After his meeting with Yuki, he went towards All For One who had summoned him to his side. Walking into the familiar territory, Rensuke glanced at his Mother in the cage once more, who looked on with saddened eyes, an emotion that he could know all too well.

Turning back to his Father, he exhaled slowly.

"Rensuke, do you know what happened yesterday?"

Rensuke raised an eyebrow.

"About what Father?"

"It seems that there was a certain incident that happened, and I cannot find who was responsible for it." Rensuke's face didn't change, but he wished that he could show a hint of a smile. "Though from what I've seen, the destruction didn't seem to be that bad. Yet, I'd like to keep an eye on it, and see if this person is going able to join the League."

Rensuke raised a curious brow.

"So, you have no idea who it was Father?"

The elder shook his head.

"No, I haven't a clue. Though I do have some theories..." His face turned to Rensuke who held a relaxed expression. "...you wouldn't happen to know anything about it, would you Rensuke?"

"Nope, I don't know anything about it. I am just as in the dark as you are currently Father."

His reply released a calmness that even All For One couldn't decipher.

"I see. Well, we'll keep an eye on it for now. Perhaps it could turn out to be a flea attempting something. Either way, it seems that you're speaking to me again. Is there a reason for that?"

"A reason? I wouldn't know what you're talking about. I simply do what I like after all."

Rensuke replied with a sideways turning of his neck.

All For One raised an eyebrow.

"Is that so? Then that's alright with me. Anyway Rensuke, I've got a few new ideas for Quirks for you. I still haven't had the chance to pass them onto you, have I? That was my error, allow me to make up that right now."

"It's not necessary, I don't mind at all. We've both been busy with the tasks you've given me, along with making sure the League are alright."

"Even then, allow me to do this. It would be my way of apologizing for what happened with your Mother, and the USJ incident."

Recalling that incident, Rensuke wasn't exactly thrilled about it.

Recalling his Mother fighting All Might, he wasn't happy to think about that again.

But he fought down those feelings and just accepted whatever it was that All For One was going to do.

"If that's what you wish to do, then I'll go along with that for the moment."

"Good, then I'll begin immediately..."

Rensuke just stood there, and listened to his Father for a little while, and spoke casually with him.

Though Rensuke always kept in the back of his mind about what happened at the USJ, with his Mother being used as she was.

It was something that always stayed with him.

The next day, Himiko and Chitose sat down at the breakfast table, and glared at one another. Chitose's fingers pushed forward some breakfast, towards Himiko who just narrowed her eyes at the young woman.

"Have this."

She said while looking on kindly.

The young woman just smirked.

"No thanks, you have it."

"I'm not hungry."

Chitose said through gritted teeth.

Himiko blinked several times, before pulling out a knife.

Suspicions came over the reporter while Himiko stabbed her blade into the table, causing Chitose to feel sick.

"So, where's Geten?"

Himiko's words felt like blades into her body.

But Chitose didn't seem to care, and showed a strong resolve.

"She's currently settling some things with the group we were apart of, that's all. We still have to keep up pretenses, don't we?"

Himiko didn't seem convinced.

Though she didn't have any true evidence, it was her more suspicious side getting in on things.

Then Chitose shared her thoughts with her.

"To get things out in the open Himiko. I don't like you."

Himiko wore slight surprise on her face, before shrugging.

"Heh, as if I'd be bothered by your like or dislike of me."

Himiko said it while playfully taking her knife out of the table itself.

She placed it between her fingers, showing a dirty smirk on her face for Chitose who narrowed her eyes.

"I'm here for Rensuke-kun, not you. I follow his ideals now, so don't even try anything with me, alright?"

"If that's what you feel like doing then I wont stop you. It isn't my decision to have you on the team, is it?"

Chitose placed her hand on the table.

"But we have to get along, if only for Rensuke-kun's sake, I'm sure that's what he would want."

"Yes, I know that. My feelings for you wont affect any work that I am going to be doing with Ren-kun. But don't misunderstand, attempt anything, and I will come after you with my knife, got it?"

The woman scoffed.

"Is that so? Then I don't mind Himiko. Remember who almost won our last battle?"

Himiko gave a narrowed eyed stare.

"That was because of you trying to blow me up by setting up bombs. Trust me, without prep time, you'd be finished off instantly. You saw my ability, and how I fought you."

"Ooh yes I did, being able to transform into people. I'm sure you'll come in handy."

She said it in a way where it was being condescending.

Himiko didn't like that at all, showing a small scowl on her face.

"For your information, I was the one who discovered what you were doing in Shoowayasha, it was thanks to me that Ren-kun could whoop your sorry ass, and Geten's as well. If I recall, your little trick with freezing Ren-kun's water didn't work, did it?"

The young woman's hands tightened angrily.

"Perhaps we did underestimate you guys, but it doesn't disprove your Quirk Himiko. Speaking of, I've done some research on you, and found out some interesting facts."

Himiko scoffed at the sight before her.

"Sounds like you don't trust your new comrades to me~ So, are you just trying to play along and find out info for your old leader perhaps?"

"I'd never!"

Himiko giggled ever so sweetly.

"If you say so, but I think that you might be lying a little bit there."

"I'm completely loyal! I'll prove it too!"

Chitose argued with her, something Himiko found slightly amusing.

"And how are you going to do that?"

Himiko grinned, as Chitose pulled back with an unsure face.

"W-Well...I guess that I could do something...erm...well, Rensuke-kun needs more people for the group! I'll go and find some for him! I know a few places that people dwell! I can have people join if they so wish to do that!"

"If you say so, though I'm not convinced honestly."

Chitose huffed, standing up, and walked away from the area.

As she did, Twice came bouncing into the room.

"What's wrong with her?" He began, but then scoffed. "As if I care, she's a monster anyway!"

Himiko tossed her shoulders into the air.

"She's just being all high and mighty because she cornered me. Now she's gone out to try and find some new people or some crap like that. Leave her to it, she wont be able to find anyone anyway. She's probably just gone to work anyway."

Himiko was sure about it, Twice shrugged his shoulders.

"Living in a land of luxury is great!" Twice cheered as he picked up a piece of cake, before throwing it into the bin. "Tastes like garbage!"

Himiko gave a bemused smile towards Twice, who's antics always made her day happy.

Later on, Rensuke headed off to school, and was walking through the corridors of the high school, when he came across Shinso walking across the corridor, towards his own classroom, with his stoic expression on his face, nearly unreadable about what was truly going on inside of the young man's mind.

But when Shinso saw Rensuke, he stopped, and stared at him for a few moments, and in those moments, Rensuke felt as if the boy was eyeing up the competition or something.

Becoming curious, Rensuke pulled forward.

"So, your name is Shinso, is it?"

Shinso folded his arms.

"It might be."

Rensuke gave a bemused smile.

"It seems like you're quite secretive, yet you seemed to be quite confrontational during the little meeting at our classroom last week. So, you intend to take the position of one of my classmates, huh?"

"That's right, I want to become a Hero also, so doing it this way is the best way for me to go forward. If you don't want it to be you, then you best do your best against me."

Rensuke looked Shinso up and down, trying to work him out.

"Though you say that, there's a slight hesitating within your voice." Shinso went to comment, but Rensuke stopped him. "You can deny it if you wish, but I've been...trained to notice the subtle differences within people's vocal patterns, the way their body language is, and right now, your body language tells me that you would prefer to do things another way than this."

Shinso's eyebrows knitted together.

"If you can tell that much, then you might be as perceptive as you say. Though you couldn't know the reason why."

"No, because I don't know much about you. Heck, I don't even know your Quirk if you have one that is."

"I do have a Quirk, though I wont divulge it to you. Is that the reason you came to speak to me?"

Rensuke let out a small chuckle.

"No, it wasn't because of that. I figured you'd not tell me your Quirk. If anything, I was just a little bit more curious about you, and I think I'm beginning to understand you a bit more."

Shinso folded his arms.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, I believe I've got some more information about you. Anyway, good luck in the Sports Festival, if you're gunning for my classmates, I can say that they aren't slouches so you best be prepared also."

Rensuke waved his hand and began walking away from Shinso who gave an intrigued expression on his face.

Because of the fact that Rensuke didn't even seem to be worried, something that Shinso seemed to like.

He wasn't laughing Shinso off, it was more of the opposite.

He was treating him like any of the other competitors, in a serious manner, and that did a good deal to earn respect.

After his meeting with Shinso, Rensuke was back to class for some usual lessons stuff. Thinking about his battle two nights ago, he couldn't help but be pleased that they managed to win. Though he still thought about Geten and Chitose, and if they could be trusted.

"Hey guys, did you hear about what happened at Shoowayasha?"

Mina brought up, while Katsuki threw her hands to the side in an uncaring manner.

"Heh, it seems like they were going at it. I heard that both Shoowayasha and the building nearby were wrecked. The stairs had been destroyed and Shoowayasha's building had many explosions."

"So, it was you then Bakugo?"

Kirishima laughed out, Katsuki's eyes slitting for her.

"You what?! Don't you dare say that again! I didn't do it!"

"G-Geez, I was only kidding..."

Kirishima showed a worried look as Katsuki glared towards her.

Izumi looked up from her desk, showing a sheepish expression on her face.

"It seemed crazy..."

"It was probably some crazy person."

Rensuke's eyebrows narrowed ever so slightly at what Iida said, though no one noticed.

"No one got seriously hurt though, from what I heard. Even then, it seems crazy a battle happened there, it was even said the Hero's had a tough time getting close, but it wasn't said why...I wonder what was going on there..."

Ochaco mused, Kirishima slammed her hands together, showing an excited expression on her face.

"Hah! I bet those guys were totally manly! That battle must have been epic! I wish I could have seen what had happened! I mean, seriously cool!"

Rensuke gave a bemused smile towards her.

He did find her energy to be quite amazing.

"I guess we'll not know. No one knows who it was huh."

"Apparently not." Momo waded in. "It seems that they weren't able to find any evidence at all. At least that's what the public have been told. Also, it seems that the employees of Shoowayasha also were being targeted due to their articles apparently making a bad impression on a certain group. Though the certain group seem to be already people that caused harm to others, so I can't see if it is a good thing or a bad thing."

Momo said it with an honest expression on her face, Iida moved his hands robotically up and down.

"It was a delinquent! I am sure that it was!"

Rensuke's face curled downwards ever so slightly.

"Delinquent...I'm not a delinquent..."

Rensuke thought to himself, as Katsuki folded her arms.

"Well, I'll destroy the opponents, anyway! I don't have time to care about something like that, we have the Sports Festival soon enough! You better watch out everyone, I'll be squashing all of you with my Quirk!"

Rensuke showed an amused smile at what Katsuki was saying.

It felt nice to get back to normal once more.

"No way, Bakugo! I'll be coming out on top!"

Kirishima announced while showing a toothy smile on her face.

Katsuki showed a challenging glare.

"Yeah, right! As if! If you want to try it hard girl, then come at me!"

Rensuke looked on with a bemused expression on his face, it seemed like the class was as normally wacky.

While the other classmates spoke about what it could have been happening at Shoowayasha, Rensuke remained back, and just listened to their theories, and wondered if anyone would ever guess that it was him up there.

Though it seemed unlikely due to the lack of evidence and how they wouldn't know he could control his own blood to fight.

But more importantly, he was happy that things began to finally be going up once more.

Meanwhile, Chitose had made good on her promise to Himiko, and went to an area that usually Villains hung out, a place that resembled a bar, but not fully.

She wasn't about to let Himiko prove her wrong, so she was going to find someone, anyone that could join the group.

"I refuse to live in a world where Himiko is right..."

She murmured to himself, folding her arms as she overlooked the people in the area, and…

She couldn't see anyone that was worthy of joining the group of Rensuke's at all.

She huffed, shaking her head side to side, and went to turn, when she saw a man moving forward. The man was quite tall, muscular humanoid villain with an unusual extension from his shoulders that grows up and over his head, which gives it a hood-like appearance. His face is largely concealed within this hood, only showing round, white eyes and a large mouth. He's wearing an armoured half-vest with a chain over his right shoulder and cargo pants with additional plating. His skin had a pinkish look to it.

His interest in Chitose became quite apparent when his eyes ran over her form.

"Hey there."

Chitose shuddered when looking towards him.

"No thanks, I'm busy."

Chitose attempted to bypass him…

But he stuck out his hand and stopped her from moving forward.

Chitose's eyes turned towards the man's body, and scowled.

"Look, I've had a couple of days that have been rough, I wont allow you to stand in my way, alright?"

"Hahaha, you're quite cocky for a young woman like you aren't you?!"

"I'm not cocky, I'm just tired. I came here for...it doesn't even matter. I've got to go, please leave me alone."

She attempted to step beside him to get past.

But he wouldn't let her go once more, which annoyed Chitose.

"Look, I don't think you understand-"

"No, it's you who doesn't understand what situation you're in."

He cut her off, which ignited rage inside of her.

"I think I do, I got lost, that's all. It seems that my informant isn't here, so if you'll kindly excuse me, then I'll be off..." He stopped her from leaving, so she scowled. "Move now, or I'll be going to the police and Hero's about this. This is-"

"Do you think I care about what the police or Hero's think? You're not leaving until you begin speaking nicely to me."

Chitose showed a worried expression.

She didn't look pleased about what was happening before her.

Because of her thoughts about Himiko, it seemed to lead to a situation where she might not be able to progress forward...

At lunch, Rensuke had been called out to a different area with Ochaco, who was currently stood before him, with her hands thrusted to her sides, and then she punched outwards to the bemusement of Rensuke.

"So, what's this Uraraka-san?"

He was amused by it.

Ochaco showed a strong face.

"I've been studying that manual you gave me, and I think I've begun learning a bit about fighting!"

"Wonderful, I'm glad that I could help you with that."

Ochaco nodded excitedly, and placed her hands outwards.

"Now, rush me Rensuke-kun!"

"Erm..."

He wasn't so sure.

He didn't want to hurt her.

If he did go full force, he could potentially do damage and that wasn't something he wished to do.

"Go on, please! I want you to rush me!"

Rensuke gave a curious look, but did as she had asked, and charged for her. His speed surprised her, but she didn't allow that to deter her, and she sidestepped to the side, while he got close, and brought her hand upwards, touching his body with five fingers, and caused him to become weightless.

"Ooh my, I'm floating~"

Ochaco showed a smile, as she flipped Rensuke's body due to being weightless, and then slammed him down into the ground, releasing the Quirk so his body didn't float upwards, and pinned him down to the ground with her hands.

"See Rensuke-kun? I can do things like that!"

As she said it, Rensuke noticed her hands on his chest, and arm, and how close her body was to him.

It did look as if she was almost straddling him.

She also noticed it, pulling away while blushing more than she had been beforehand.

"S-Sorry about that..."

"It would be difficult to use in a fight, but if you got the timing of it right, then you could surprise your opponents quite well."

Ochaco rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.

"Yeah well, I'm working on getting faster after all. I can't let myself down during the Sports Festival~"

The young girl let out a small laugh, while Rensuke showed a calm smile on his face.

"It seems that everyone is suddenly going crazy with the Sports Festival. I didn't realize it was so important to everyone."

"Of course! We get to show our stuff for everyone to see! We can show even the Hero's! I mean, isn't there someone out there that you want to impress?"

"Impress…? Erm, I don't know about that. Perhaps Yuki, my cousin I guess. Though I'm sure she'll be happy when she sees me doing my best."

"Ooh yeah, you do have a cousin huh. I heard about her being in hospital, I'm sorry about that."

Rensuke shook his head again and again.

"No, you don't have to apologize for that. I suppose...if I do well in the Sports Festival, perhaps I could get some Hero's attention and help progress my career, right?"

Ochaco thrusted her thumb upwards happily.

"Yup! That's exactly it!"

"Haha, then I guess I'll do my best!"

"That's the spirit Rensuke-kun!"

Rensuke began to smile even more.

He was quite happy about doing things like this.

It seemed trivial to most, but to him…

It did feel nice.

That was until Rensuke received a phone call.

It was Chitose.

Excusing himself out of the area, he answered the call, and all he heard was a cry down the phone.

"C-Chitose-san?"

[Help! I'm scared!]

"Why, what's going on?"

A hiccuping sound came down the phone, followed by an explosion.

Rensuke winced at the explosion happening.

[S-Shit! I'm being attacked! Will you come and save me please!? I'm petrified right now!]

Rensuke didn't know what the hell was going on, but if she was in danger then he couldn't just leave her, she was apart of the group now.

"I'll be there shortly, just text me where it is."

[Okay! Please come quickly!]

With that, the phone call ended, and Rensuke had to question what the heck was truly going on.

But he had to go and save her.

Arriving at the location he had found, Rensuke saw that Chitose was hiding under a table, as a man kept throwing large and heavy objects at her and others around the bar like area. But she kept crawling away from the attacker, so she didn't end up dying as a result.

Shaking his head with his mask on, he moved forward, and went to get to her, when a man with a sword coming out of his hand stabbed towards Rensuke, who flipped backwards, and kicked the man upside the head at the same time, forcing him down into the ground.

"Damn you!"

He said, jumping back up, and attempted a stab on the right, Rensuke dodged around it, and ran water across the blade, grabbing said blade, and stopped the movement of the blade, and made precise cuts on said blades with his water in his hand, and crushed it, the man's face turning white.

"Sorry about that."

Rensuke delivered a powerful kick to the man's face, and sent him into several people that were charging for him. Then a man with a long tongue Quirk attempted to wrap around Rensuke's form, but the boy ran a thin layer of water around his body, and pushed outwards, sending off a condensed force of water thin enough to not be noticed, and strong enough to slam the tongue away from his body.

Then while the tongue was being pushed away, Rensuke reached outwards, grabbing the tongue, and smiled slightly.

"Time to swing!"

Rensuke quickly began spinning the man's body around and hit his body into several people, while the man kept throwing things towards a worried Chitose. Rensuke then released the man with a burst of water erupting out of his hands, and sent him flying backwards, and caused the man to become unconscious.

Exhaling slowly, Rensuke walked over to the panicked Chitose, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Chit-"

"Ooh!"

Chitose punched behind her without looking, and hit him squarely in the mouth, causing a small explosion which knocked him down onto his butt. Light burns appeared across Rensuke's face, despite his mask being on his face, and turned his eyes towards Chitose in an annoyed way.

"Hey, I came to save you, and you punch me?"

Chitose recognized the voice, and wore relief on said face.

"Ooh thank God! Damn Himiko, this is her fault!"

"Why is it-" Rensuke dodged a spike thrown at his head expertly. "-her fault exactly?"

"She did this to me in the first place! Challenging me like this, and now we're going to die!"

Rensuke gave her a curious look, before turning to the man launching things around the room.

"Alright, it's time to calm down now."

"Shut up you! She insulted me!"

Rensuke glanced to Chitose who showed a sheepish smile.

"I'm sure she didn't mean to insult you, now put down the chair, and we can talk in calm-"

"Be quiet pipsqueak or I'll crush you!"

Rensuke sighed, shaking his head side to side.

"No, you wont be doing that at all. I'm sorry but I'm going to have to fight if you attempt to attack her."

"Then so be it!"

He swung down the arm with the chair in it, so Rensuke dodged backwards, then launched himself forward. Propelling himself into the air, he flipped and appeared behind the man before him, he grabbed the man's head, and turned his body around so his feet appear at the back of the Villains neck.

"Sorry about that."

Rensuke double kicked the man's back, and shot off a high condensed water blast into the back of his neck, sending him flying across the room, Chitose quickly dodged out of the way as his body smashed through several tables.

Flipping and landing on the ground, Rensuke got into a fighting form, while Chitose was amazed that he managed to do that so quickly. Clearly, he had been trained to be able to handle themselves, she couldn't see any wasted movements.

The Villain got to his feet, turning around to see Rensuke.

"You little brat, you used some kind of trick!"

"There was no trick, I simply did something that stopped you."

The Villain became enraged, and charged for Rensuke.

He quickly stuck his hand to the ground, and pulled up a piece of broken table, sticking it out to Chitose.

"Use your Quirk on this."

"Aah, of course~"

She quickly ran her fingers on the wood, activating her Quirk and turned it into a bomb.

Rensuke then moved forward, as the Villain came down with a swinging fist, so he side stepped, avoiding it all together, then danced to the side, avoiding the first fist, then he saw the Villain raise his leg to kick Rensuke's upper body.

Quickly moving, he back flipped, avoiding the kick all together, then Rensuke jumped high as the Villain attempted to grab him. However, Rensuke managed to twist his body, while kicking the man's hand towards the right, then turned around in mid air, landing on the man's hand, then he began running up the man's extended arm.

"Get off me!"

The man's fist balled, and he slammed it down onto the arm he had extended in an attempt to crush Rensuke.

Rensuke shook his head, jumping into the air, avoiding the full force of the punch, and damaged his own arm as a result.

"Aaaah! S-Shit!"

He yelled out angrily, as Rensuke got before the man's body as he jumped, swinging his leg upwards fluidly, slamming his foot deeply into the man's face, then forced the piece of wood into the man's face, as he fell down to the ground.

Landing on the ground, he said "Now!" to Chitose, which allowed her to explode the piece of wood, forcing the man's face to be blown backwards as Rensuke touched both of the man's legs, releasing pressurized water streams to shoot him out of the area, smashing him through a wall, before his body began to fall unconscious, and finally, did so after hitting another wall.

Rensuke exhaled, turning to Chitose.

"So, you came here because..."

"Himiko was questioning my loyalties, so I wanted to prove that I was loyal by gaining new members."

Rensuke exhaled once more, walking closer, and placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Don't worry about that, I don't want my current members to go on missions like this alone. I want to make people join me for their own reasons, not because someone is forced into my group. And most of all, I don't want anything to happen to you Chitose-san, you're important to me."

Chitose's cheeks turned slightly red at the words he spoke.

"H-Honestly, Rensuke-kun. Speaking like this...it makes me feel warm inside of me. I shouldn't let her get to me, I know that. But questioning my loyalties like that, it just felt personally insulting to me. And then you had to come and save me..."

"It's fine, we're all apart of the same group after all, aren't we?"

Chitose let out a small laugh.

"I suppose that we are..."

"Well, don't worry about things like recruitment, we'll do that together in time."

Chitose pushed a lock of hair behind her ear, letting out the smallest of laughs.

"Yes, lets do it together next time...phew, I thought I was going to be killed there. That guy was crazy, attacking me like that."

Rensuke raised an eyebrow.

"Perhaps he was crazy. But he had been dealt with."

"Even then, you had to come and save me...next time, I'll definitely make sure I can handle it myself, Rensuke-kun. My Quirk might not be the strongest, but I'll work harder, and I'll try and get on with Himiko...even if she can piss me off."

Rensuke could hear the sincerity within her voice.

It did sound like she truly did appreciate what was being said.

"It would be good if you did get along. But it will take time, you were enemies only the other day. Anyway, we should get out of here, before anyone comes to arrest the people that are currently here."

"Haha, yes you're right about that~"

Rensuke gave a bemused smile as they took off together, leaving behind the people that were there.

That night, returning home, Rensuke looked to see the tension between Himiko and Chitose seemed to be quite high. They kept sending glares at one another, while Geten seemed to be alright with most people within the room. Twice kept trying to poke La Brava who pushed his hands away each and every time.

"So, it seems that you two don't get along that well."

Rensuke noted, Himiko pointed at her.

"She's the one that got herself in danger."

"You provoked me!"

Chitose argued, while Himiko folded her arms.

"No, I didn't provoke you, I didn't know you were serious. I thought you had just scampered back to Shoowayasha, didn't I?"

"I said I would be recruiting, so I went to go and recruit...admittedly, it didn't end that well, but it's the thought that counts."

"Ren-kun had to come and save you!"

"Yes, that wasn't apart of my plans, I didn't think it would get that dangerous. It was because of that large man that I needed to be rescued. It was an error in judgement, I wont make the same error next time, I wont allow you to provoke me like that again."

Himiko huffed at the sight of the young woman.

Rensuke exhaled.

"Either way, we're a group now, we need to find a way to begin getting along. I don't expect you to become friends over night, but I do wish that you find a way to be around each other. You're both important to me, in different ways, so lets try and get along."

Himiko and Chitose glanced at one another, before turning away.

"I can be professional if I need to be Rensuke-kun."

Chitose muttered, Himiko huffed.

"I am very professional anyway, I can work with her quite well."

Rensuke knew it would be a learning curve for the pair of them, but he was going to try his best in making them get along more.

"That's good, because I don't want anything to happen to either of you. Now, I've got some new roles for each of you, to maximize, each personal talent of the group here for the immediate future. So for the moment, intelligence on various enemies is going to be handled by La Brava and Gentle."

"Yes, leave that to us~"

"Hehe, Gentle, you're so cool."

Rensuke gave them bemused smiles as he continued on.

"Finance is going to be handled by Chitose-san."

"Ooh I see, since I'm quite handy with money, I can arrange for us to gain more of it through various methods."

"As long as it doesn't attract the attention of the Hero's or the police, then I'll leave finance to you."

"Also, perhaps a new house would be nice."

Himiko added to Chitose who scowled.

But she recalled what Rensuke had said before, so she went along with it.

"I'll see what I can do."

Rensuke nodded at the conversation, it seemed both were making an effort to become more friendly.

"Recruitment is going to be handled by Himiko-chan and Twice."

"Ooh, recruitment sounds perfect to me~"

"Hahaha! I'll make sure we get the best ones!" Twice turned to Chitose, and waved. "By the way, are you single?" Chitose furrowed her eyebrows, and went to answer, when Twice scoffed. "It was me asking you for Best Jeanist!"

"B-Best Jeanist?"

"Because he's best dressed~"

Twice sang out, while his hands ran over his head again and again.

Chitose gave a curious stare, while Himiko's mouth curled upwards.

Rensuke looked quite pleased with what was happening, turning to Geten.

"Then finally Geten-san, you're going to be in charge of protection of any of the people within our group. Since your Quirk is a heavy hitter type, it's probably one of the strongest in our current group."

"Then leave it to me, I can use my Quirk quite effectively."

"Splendid, then here's your assignments." Rensuke took out a few folders, and handed them to their respective groups. "I've got this Sports Festival quite soon, so I'll be preparing for that, I'll leave these tasks in your capable hands. For now, we'll concentrate on smaller assignments which will benefit us in the long run, before going for something more."

[Yes!]

They all replied with a strong voice.

Rensuke did feel good inside of his chest that this was happening.

Seeing them all working together did bring a smile to his face.

But then as he was looking at his group, his phone began to ring, so he quickly went to it, and saw that it was Dabi's phone.

"Hello, Dabi, something on your mind?"

Rensuke answered like that, while Chitose glanced to Himiko.

"Who's Dabi?"

"A potential member. He's got a hot Quirk."

She didn't get that, though Himiko found it rather amusing.

[Yeah, I want to meet up with you.]

"Haha, alright then, send me the location and I'll be there."

[Right.]

With that, Dabi hung up, with Himiko giving a questioning look.

"What's going on?"

"Dabi wishes to meet, don't know what for. I guess I'll be going to meet up with him soon."

"Do you wish for me to come?"

Geten asked, Rensuke wondered a little bit why she seemed eager.

But in the end, he shook his head.

"I can handle this one, thanks anyway Geten-san."

Geten just began nodding slowly, and accepted it while Rensuke smiled softly.

Once getting the location, Rensuke, dressed up to hide his appearance, went to go and meet up with Dabi once more.

Meeting in a location that was quiet, and held a small amount of people around, Rensuke noticed Dabi hanging in the background, so he pulled forward.

"What a colorful place this is."

Rensuke began, as Dabi let out a small breath.

"Perhaps it is. Though people like me can't be choosers."

Rensuke let out a small laugh.

"I suppose you're right. So, tell me, what did you call me for?"

"I was curious about what happened at Shoowayasha, I thought it might have been you guys doing something."

Rensuke cocked his head left.

"Perhaps it was."

"I thought that might be the case, you caused a good deal of destruction then. I also heard that there wasn't any evidence, you must be quite skilled to pull that off."

"Resourceful, more than anything. So, is that the reason you called me here?"

"No, I've been thinking about something recently. Have you heard of a man called Stain?"

"Stain...yes, I believe he's the Hero Killer, right?"

Dabi nodded.

"I've been hearing some information about him from the news, and his killing of Hero's, it seems to be because he believes the current Hero System isn't working well, and produces Hero's that are selfish. I'd have to agree with his mentality on the matter, Hero's can be selfish."

Rensuke raised a curious brow.

"Stain's judgement's, can be harsh from what I've heard. It depends on the person however. Did you come to talk about Stain?"

"Do you know him? I'd like to meet him and see for myself if his ideals are worthy?"

Rensuke wondered about Stain, and what little he had heard from him, seemed to be someone that Dabi would be interested in.

"I've never met the man myself, though I have been thinking about his methods in the past, and I can't be sure that I agree. Killing people because they're selfish, I always think educating them is better than just outright killing them. What is that going to solve?"

"Heh, it would solve a few things. Killing people that are only out for themselves."

Rensuke pursed his lips at what Dabi said.

"Well, since I don't know him, I guess that means I can't be helpful this time. If I ever meet him, I'll let you know."

Dabi held back a small laugh.

"That sounds good enough to me for now. So, what are you working on?"

"Sorry, since you're not officially apart of my group, I can't divulge any information about what's currently going on. If you want to join however, then I'd be more than happy to share with you about what I'm currently up to."

Dabi huffed, folding his arms.

"Seriously?"

"Seriously."

Rensuke replied with a cheerful voice.

Dabi shook his head.

"At least tell me if you succeeded in your mission at Shoowayasha."

Rensuke hid his smile under the mask he wore.

"Yes, I believe that I did. Though you seem to be quite intrigued by my recent actions. Can I ask, why do you even care? You haven't joined my group, you provoked a member of my group last time. Are you thinking about joining my group? Or are you just being inquisitive for the sake of it? Perhaps, you're growing to like the idea of my group more and more. It must be lonely, being on your own."

"Who says I'm on my own?"

Dabi became a little defensive, though Rensuke became more intrigued than anything else.

"I'm only going off what I've seen and heard about you. You don't interact with anyone else, you always sit in an isolated area when you are in a public place."

"My appearance tends to draw in attention, that's all."

Dabi replied as a small blue flame came from his fingertip.

Rensuke gave it a curious look, before chuckling.

"Maybe so. Though I think that you're more interested in joining than you realize. You keep contacting me, if you couldn't stand the idea of being beside me in my group, then you'd not bother, am I right?"

"If you're one thing, it's perceptive. So, show me what's began the mask."

Dabi attempted to grab the mask, only for Rensuke to bat his hand away instead.

"Sorry, can't do that."

"Why? Are you well known?"

"Not really, it's probably for the same reason you tend to hide details about yourself from others."

Dabi let out a small laugh.

"Then if you're not going to show me, or tell me, then I'm going to have something to drink."

Rensuke glanced around the area, with the many different types of people in said area.

"You definitely have interesting tastes when it comes to meeting places."

Dabi withheld a small laugh, but deep inside...he did feel as if he was becoming more intrigued.

He didn't know if it was to the extent that Rensuke had said, but he was interested to see what was going to happen next.

A few days later, Rensuke was stood before Izumi who was attempting to use her powers in a new and different way. She was able to use it in her fingers, and she could also use it in her legs, and now she was beginning to spread the power slowly through different parts of the body.

"Haaaah!"

Izumi shot up into the air, and placed her foot onto a nearby wall, where she pushed off said wall, and then bounced towards another wall, where she used her quick feet to kick off that wall, though Rensuke saw that she had cracked said wall, possibly due to her power being unable to be controlled, but she didn't seem to wince, which he thought was a good sign.

She then landed in front of Rensuke, who clapped at the sight before him.

"Well done Izumi-chan, it seems that you're getting a better handle on your power."

Izumi placed a hand over her chest, exhaling and inhaling several times.

"Yes...I thought it would be best if I tried it like this."

"Can you use that new found power to fight Izumi-chan?"

Izumi scratched the back of her head.

"I'm not sure, I'm trying to move faster first of all. I've seen other members of the class who can bounce between different places, and are able to increase their speed. If I'm going to be able to fight them...then I also have to fight strong and become faster..."

Rensuke showed his smile.

He truly did like how she was trying to improve herself.

Yet she also knew the realistic way of how she wouldn't be able to use the full power of her Quirk.

Rensuke placed his hand out, and summoned a good deal of water.

"Then how about I help you? Dodge these attacks, and I'll slowly increase the speed. Being able to move fast is good, but if you can't react to the powers that are coming for you, then Kacchan or someone else might be able to overcome you."

"Y-Yes, maybe you're right. If you'd help me, then I'd be very grateful!"

Rensuke chortled, and thrust his fingers forward, shooting off several bullets of water that Izumi began to dodge. Channelling a small amount of power within her legs, she bounced left, then flipped backwards to avoid several bullets of water.

Then Izumi noticed a wall of water was beginning to form behind her, stopping her from moving backwards as several bullets of water were coming for her body.

"N-No!"

Izumi rushed forward and ducked one bullet, then she quickly raised her leg into an axe swing, bringing it down as the several bullets of water attempted to hit her, she destroyed them with the power of her foot breaking them out of existence.

Rensuke showed a light smile, as he placed his hand out, gathering more and more water into the palm of his hand, allowing it to swirl and condense into a hardened sphere, surprising Izumi who raised an eyebrow in questioning.

"R-Ren-kun, what are you doing?"

"You'll also have to sometimes take on attacks like this Izumi-chan. Using it through one body part is fine, but if you can channel it through your entire body at a time, then you'd be able to fight at a better way."

"Y-Yes!"

Rensuke shot off the water sphere for Izumi who jumped upwards to avoid, but Rensuke then split off the spheres of water into several different ways, allowing them to shoot up into the air and came at her from different locations, surrounding her body that was in the air.

Izumi looked at them all spinning around her, and attacking her from the left, right, front, and back as well.

She was surrounded by the water attacks, and she knew that she was going to be in a situation she couldn't escape if she was going to be hit by all of them.

"Concentrate Izumi-chan, you've got a way to get out of this kind of attack."

Izumi didn't know what Rensuke was talking about.

What could she do if she was going to be attacked from all sides…

But she wasn't being attacked from all sides.

From down below, she wasn't being attacked, so she placed her finger upwards, and placed her power into her fingers. Though it was small, she managed to flick, and released a small amount of air pressure that pushed Izumi's body downwards enough to avoid the barrage of water, without breaking her fingers.

Rensuke nodded slowly, as she landed on the ground.

"See? You can use your Quirk in different ways. Even if a little bit right now, you can use the air to propel you around, like All Might does. You might not have the incredible power All Might has right now...rather, you can't use the incredible power to its full potential, but One For All boosts your physical stats, so if you keep training your body, you'll be able to eventually use all of the power, and use it in unique ways since you're quite smart."

Izumi let out a small breath as Rensuke continued to smile.

"Thank you Ren-kun, you're a big help to me I don't think I'd be able to do it without you."

She said it with a kind smile, as Rensuke moved closer to the young girl.

His hand gently stroked her face, her cheeks began to heat up at the feelings of his hand on her face.

"Don't worry Izumi-chan, you can do this. Just remember to keep yourself calm and not let the power overtake you."

Izumi's face continued to turn red, before she leaned up and captured his lips with her own.

Slightly surprised by the sudden kiss, he then pulled forward, and kissed her deeply. Izumi's shy arms wrapped around the young man's body, and ended up hugging him tightly.

Once the kiss finished, Rensuke offered a kind smile for the young woman and then petted the back of her head.

Izumi felt content for the moment, and was glad that she could embrace Rensuke like this.

Finally, after two weeks, the day had arrived. The others stood or sat, or what have you, all decked out in their gym clothes. Rensuke himself looked towards Yuki, who he had brought to watch the sports festival, after she had insisted several times, with her eyes looking towards Rensuke happily, and healthily.

It seemed that she had some colour in her cheeks that day.

But he also noticed that she seemed to be focused on something as well.

Mineta, seeing Yuki's cute appearance, began developing a perverted look.

"Well, hello there pretty-" Rensuke quickly blasted water at him. "Gwaaaaaaah!"

Mineta hit the wall, and shook the room, causing most to wince at the sight before them.

"Wow, it seems that Rensuke-chan doesn't allow boys near Yuki-chan ribbit."

Tsuyu noted, as Katsuki laughed at the sight.

"Good, perv deserves everything that happened to him. Even if he is blasted into a wall like that."

Izumi looked towards Mineta, seeing that he was twitching on the ground, and looked sickly. She also saw that he was shaking when looking towards Rensuke, who just coldly stared right back at the smaller boy.

Yuki glanced at the boy hit into the wall, and then turned towards Rensuke's form.

"Big brother, it's going to be amazing, isn't it?"

Rensuke smiled softly, nodding his head.

"Yeah, it's going to be quite interesting to do huh. This Sports Festival..."

"Yes, it surely would be. I'll be cheering louder, and stronger than anyone else big brother! So, make sure that you win, okay!"

Rensuke showed a strong smile on his face.

"Definitely, I'll do my best to win."

She let out a small laugh of happiness, something that seemed to be infectious with the others that were around.

Despite her being cheerful, Rensuke knew that she probably also wished to do something like this. If he could help her with that, then he would. Though right now, all he could do was make sure that he could improve her life, and if him winning the Sports Festival made her happy, then that's what he was going to do.

Yuki then turned to Izumi, Katsuki, Ochaco, Momo, Tsuyu, and Kirishima.

"So, you're the girls that have a thing for my brother?"

A slightly mischievous grin appeared on her face, as they developed a wide mouthed look.

[W-WHAT?!]

Yuki giggled, pointing at each of them.

"Don't worry, I'm sure that you'll be able to come to some sort of agreement or something."

Rensuke glanced at the young girl, shaking his head slowly, and continued thinking about the Sports Festival.

As he was thinking about the fights that was to come up along with the people in the class, Shoto suddenly stood up, and faced Rensuke seriously.

"Perhaps this isn't the right time to say it, but I will anyway. The fight that we had during the training we had with All Might, that was a prelude to the fight that we'll be having during the Sports Festival. So I expect you to survive until the time that we meet in the ring."

Hearing what Shoto said, Rensuke wore surprise on his face.

"Is that so?"

"Yes. During our first fight, I saw the power that you have, and I have been training harder, and harder. This time, I'll freeze your water before it can get close to me, and I'll make sure that it wont be able to be used against me somehow. I've been training to freeze faster, so your water wouldn't be able to touch me."

Rensuke listened deeply to what she was saying.

He understood quite well.

Because of their first fight still weighed on her mind, she wished to see if she could overcome him, or vice versa, when in a fight that no one could interrupt.

He also thought about the fact that since the USJ incident, she had been usually distant.

He thought that it was due to how he saved her, that she had to be saved. He knew she was a proud person so that might have been a wound to her pride, or perhaps the fact that Rensuke had become hurt because of that attack, he didn't know which was true, or if both were true.

"It's quite harsh, Todoroki-san...I-I mean, we're only doing a friendly competition..."

Izumi tried to reason, but Shoto didn't seem to give up on what she wished to do.

"I also wish to fight you, Izumi Midoriya."

Katsuki felt slightly triggered by that.

It seemed that Shoto wished to fight Rensuke and Izumi, but not her.

"Oi Icy Hot! Are you not taking me into consideration?!"

"I, wouldn't mind fighting against you either. It just depends on what happens during the events of the Sports Festival."

Katsuki huffed, as Rensuke showed a strong smile on his face.

"I don't mind if that's the case. If you wish to have a rematch, I guess that we'll both have to do our best until that point. Lets see if your ice and fire, or my water, is able to overcome the other and stand at the top."

Upon hearing what he said, Shoto also seemed to be surprised.

He didn't even seem to be worrying.

It was like he was going to enjoy the challenge itself.

"You aren't offended or anything that I'm attempting to fight against you?"

Rensuke hummed as he thought about it, ultimately shaking his head side to side.

"Not really, I can understand that you wish to fight. During the fight within the USJ, I saw that you weren't satisfied about it. So I don't mind about that. If you wish to fight and get your feelings out, then please do that. Though I hope to see both your fire, and ice sides being shown during the fight itself."

Rensuke's words surprised Shoto who didn't know what to say as a result.

She stayed silent for a few moments, before Yuki cuts into the conversation.

"I'm not really sure what you're all saying, but I can see that you are speaking seriously. So why are you being serious? It's only a few games, you should be happy, and have some friendly competition."

Shoto glanced at Yuki, who smiled while putting her hands together across her chest, moving up and down.

"I...I see. Yes, perhaps you're right."

"Right! You should just try your best!"

Yuki rejoiced, with Mina clapping her hands together.

"Awwww, I love her already! She's so cute~"

Mina grinned, Yuki paused, and tilted her head towards Mina.

She then walked closer to Yuki.

"So, Yuki-chan, what is your Quirk? Is it like Rensuke-kun's?"

Yuki turned towards her with a kind smile.

"Actually, my Quirk is..."

Just before she could answer, there was a knock at the door.

Everyone stopped as Momo opened it, revealing Neito to be stood there, who gives a condescending look into the room, then his eyes focus on Rensuke himself.

"So we meet again, do we rival?"

"Well, you came here, so it seemed like you wished to meet again."

Neito puffs out his cheeks, pointing his finger forward.

"I had to come and wish you luck, because Class 1B are going to be coming out on-"

"Top?"

Rensuke cut to the thick of things, while Yuki curiously looked on.

"Hmph! I'm here to wish you luck because you're going to need it!"

Neito's words were supposed to be cutting, but Rensuke didn't seem to mind all that much.

"Well, if that's the case, then I also wish you good luck, good sportsmanship and all."

Neito wore surprise on his face, before folding his arms.

"We don't need it, because we're superior to Class 1A anyway hahahahahahahahaha!"

He laughed manically, with Yuki cocking her head.

"That's kind of rude."

"Don't worry Yuki, this is just this guys habit, don't take it to the heart."

Yuki shrugged at what Rensuke said as Neito continued to laugh.

"This damn guy is so annoying..." Katsuki lets out a sigh, then pushes Mineta forward. "There you go, have him, he's an offering for you. Do whatever you want with him, just leave us the hell alone."

"W-Wait!"

Mineta cried, but Katsuki forced Mineta into Neito's arms, and then slammed the door shut, causing most to wince, besides Rensuke and Yuki, who both mutter "Huh..." in a wondering way, while Mineta cried from the other side of the door.

"Kacchan! You can't do that!"

Izumi yelled, but Katsuki turns back towards her.

"Why can't I? Can't we all agree that Mineta can be annoying as hell? Along with that blonde haired idiot as well. We don't have to stand here, and listen to this guy, we can do whatever it is that we want to do! Come on, we've got a Sports Festival to win...well, one of us anyway. And I don't intend to lose."

"N-Neither do I Kacchan."

Izumi said it while putting her hands together sharply.

Katsuki flared her eyes, while Rensuke smiled softly.

"If that's the case, then I'll be trying my hardest as well."

"Ooh! Me too!"

Ochaco said happily, Yuki thrusting her hand to the sky.

"I hope that my brother wins!"

"Hahahaha! Now that's the talk!" Kirishima grinned out. "We should all aim for a success!"

"Success...yes, we should do that ribbit."

Tsuyu added, as the other members of the class continued getting rallied up once more.

Rensuke was worried for Yuki's safety.

He knew that she'd be placing herself into a dangerous situation.

But this time, he knew that she wouldn't stop even if he had tried to stop her.

All he could do now was support her, if this was her dream.

He might not have to like it, since he didn't want her to put any strain on her body...but ultimately, it was her choice, and if this was her choice, then he'd have to do his best in making sure that she was able to do her best, and he himself, also was going to do his best in the matches ahead.

End chapter!

So this was a bit of a relaxing chapter before entering the Sports Festival!

The students are speaking about what happened with Rensuke fighting among other things of that nature. Chitose and Himiko also are...attempting to get along with one another, but it seems to be quite difficult for them to do that. Rensuke seemed to learn a bit more about Shinso also.

Rensuke went to go and save Chitose who felt like she had to prove herself after what Himiko had said, and seeing some of the fruits of both Ochaco, and Izumi's training that they had do, and we'll be seeing more that in the future!

Now with the others, he's going to be doing the Sports Festival, so we'll be seeing Rensuke showing some new moves throughout it!

Well, until next time, thanks for reading!

Rensuke; Izumi, Katsuki (fem), Ochaco, Himiko, Shoto (fem), Momo, Tsuyu, Hana, Itsuka, Kirishima (fem), Mina.
