9 The team
Previously in SMHA, our mc encountered an unexpected disturbance in his way, a girl.
"What are you doing here Erza?!" Suzuki said, surprised to see his only friend here.
The red-haired little girl of 5 years ran and jumped on him, seemingly very happy to see him.
"AH! I knew what father said was true!" She said, hugging him with all her strength.
Remember her father? The current boss of Suzuki's father, the minister of social affairs in Japan. Yes, it is Katsunobu Kato. He isn't her biological father, he just adopted her when she was just a baby, so she kept her biological parent's name "Scarlet". Since Mister Kato was a very busy man, he often left his daughter with Suzuki's mother. The two-child practically have grown with each other, like true siblings. She was a kid that even Suzuki loved to interact with, she was cheerful, energetic, and sometimes possessive when it is about Suzuki. Suzuki himself loved to dote her since she was way too cute to not do it.
"Heh? What did he say about me?" He asked quite confused.
"He said that you surely will be able to join the program of Japan's elites since you are one of the most intelligent kids he ever saw!" she replied, finally releasing him from her arms.
"Yeah yeah, but you still didn't tell me why you are here too." He said scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.
"I can't let you go to study far away from me, what if you fell in love with some random thot?! After all, you are going to be my husband!" she declared surprising both Suzuki and Mikita.
"Do I have my word in this?"
"No you don't, now follow me, I am going to show you around!"
"huh, it seems like you would be able to go rest earlier Mikita-san, see you later!" Suzuki said, getting dragged by his future "wife".
"Yes Suzuki-sama, if you need me I am in the last suite of the corridor." She replied waving her hand at them.

Soon after, the young duo could be seen waiting in front of an elevator, the same one which was used by Suzuki and Mikita when they first went on the floor. There were two other elevators, but they seemed to be used, so the wait for them would have been longer. Twenty seconds later, the elevator got to the same floor than them and opened. A kid of their age got out of the same elevator, seemingly pretty embarrassed about something, a light blush on his face. When his eyes fell upon the two kids, he took a proud and strong expression on his no longer embarrassed face.
"Hmph!" he left the elevator and bumped against Suzuki's shoulder who didn't even acknowledge it.
"Hey what are you doing yo--" Erza didn't have the time to finish what she said before getting cut by Suzuki.
"Nah let him go, I don't want to lose any precious time, bickering with a potential teammate." He said, stopping her from shouting at him.
"Alright, come I will show you the best part of the tower!"
Once in the elevator, she pushed the button which leads to the floor just below the suites.
"Here, we have the common room, where we would have the meetings with the team!" She said, jumping all around the room, cheerfully.
"I see, so this is where we will all gather to talk about missions and so on." Suzuki said, looking at each detail of the room, going from the fake plants in the corner to the lights on the ceiling.
'It seems both formal enough for meetings and relaxing enough.' The purple-haired kid thought.
"Come, we are going to the lesser floors!" Erza said, once again grabbing him.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-
"Here we are on the medical floor! I guess you already knew this since it is where we get our quirk evaluated!" the redhead said, turning to look at our MC.
"AH, by the way, you didn't tell me what your quirk is yet, did you? Mine is called Valkyrie's armory! I can change my clothes in a lot of different armors!" Erza declared, quite proud of her quirk, putting her hands on her hips.
"Mine? it didn't have a name yet, but I can do anything in a space-delimited by myself around me, such as cutting things without causing damage them. I can say that I can do what a surgeon does, but I have almost total spatial control." he said, attracting the attention of nurses and doctors around him.
"Wha~!" Erza whispered, quite flabbergasted by the potential strength of his quirk.
"No need to look at me with such shining eyes you still didn't show me where we can have our classes and lunch, and the meeting is very soon."
"Ah! Thank you for reminding me, come we are going to the floor where it is!" She shouted, running back at the elevator.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-
A few seconds later, our little child couple can be seen in front of a big double door, looking at each other.
"On this floor, Mikita onee-chan, said that we will have all our classes, be it mathematics, ethics, or even stealth!"
"What? All of this behind this door? What about quirk's control and fight?"
"It seems that we will do that in the underground of the building, but we aren't allowed yet to go there without being accompanied by Jotaro-sama."
"Oh I see, let's go in the cafeteria now, or we won't get to end our tour." Suzuki said, walking further towards the corridor, without waiting for Erza's reply.
"Wait for me!" She shouted, running behind him.
What greeted their eyes was a big refectory, with a lot of tables, with adult women and men eating and chatting with each other.
"As you can see, we will eat with the other agents of this branch of the government, the fact that as many agents are working in this tower is extra security for us, from what Mikita onee-chan said.
"Well, it seems like a great plan. For now, I know what I needed to know. Let's go to the meeting before getting late." Suzuki said, running towards the elevator dragging Erza by her hand.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Finally getting on the common room's floor, the duo exited the elevator, without even realizing that their hands were still intertwined. They seem to be the last ones to arrive, but not late.
In the room, there was a total of 6 kids, 3 boys, and 3 girls. First, there is our little couple composed of Suzuki and Erza, still having their hands stuck together, three meters away from them, his arms crossed, there is the kid they encountered in the elevator who seemed still quite grumpy about something. Sitting on the arm of the biggest couch, a girl with long purple hair was looking at Suzuki with grand interest. In front of the fridge, there was a chubby kid with colorful clothes, eating in a jar of ice. And finally, a rather frail-looking little girl can be seen sitting on the floor with a lost look on her face.
Suddenly, a brown-haired man in a black suit wearing sunglasses appeared in the middle of the room. His gaze sweeping the room, he said "You all know me, no need to present myself. Starting today, you all will live together and be part of the same team. The name of the team is Zenith, the highest point of the trajectory of a celestial body. You will be the best of the best of this nation, you will be the climax of Japan, towering above villains and heroes." He said, making a pause in his speech.
"Now presents yourself to your new brothers and sisters in arms." Jotaro declared, taking a notebook and a pen from his pocket. "You first, Genta Nakano."
