9 Episode 8: Not so unOrdinary Gatherings

Lunch time, Same day

"As I thought. Those two is a Joke!" Blyke, Isen and Remi are talking at the cafeteria inside the Kovoro Mall.

Remi didn't said any word but after telling what actually happened. Blyke trashed talking the duo

"To think they even talked about dethroning Arlo, they're looking for a beating!" Blyke remarks in anger "Isen, why aren't you talking!?"

"Uh? Ehm, I was thinking stuff here and there so don't mind me" Isen answered. To be honest. He was afraid that someone might pop up.

"Now that you mention it. John. You're searching about John right!? What so good about that cripple!?" Blyke spout angrily. Isen flinched and didn't said a word.

Remi at the same time sipping her ice flavoured drinks.

Isen still silently looking outside. But deep inside, his mind is running wild.

'First John, now those two? The hell Arlo! You might actually dethrone if this keeps up!

"Eh!?" Isen blanked out while looking outside and silently shiver, as if he didn't heard Blyke. even his lips that sipping iced tea are trembling.

"Oh thats Sera and.... John.. wait me here guys. I'll call them!" Remi stands up and went outside, fetching the dating(?) Sera and John.

Blyke silently looked at Isen. is the AC here chilly? Why is he shivering? Blyke look at him

Awkward and Silent Atmosphere...

When John and Sera seated down and put her bag on the table, the atmosphere become heavy. Remi then found something is amiss inside one Sera's eco bag.

Actually, Sera and John is friendly dating and was about to eat their lunch. But to think this is just a coincidence that they bumped to each other.

"Wait Sera, that bag." Remi asks out of nowhere. Curious of Sera's eco bag.

"Ahh this? I've won something from the day before yesterday and this is the prize. Because someone in a good mood that time that I forgot to take this stuff" Sera said sarcastically while pointing out the specific words and stared at John while taking out the stuffed bear. Its not literally win because everyone in Wellston know how strong Sera is.

Then, she explained how she won this bear after checking ones parameter ability. After that, She get the price

Why sera having a bad mood that time is because John waking up early in the morning caused of having a bad dream. Sera ask a couple of times but he snapped out, and so Sera became depressed and return on her dorm early in the morning. And only yesterday that this two returned to their normal friendship and skinship. Thats why she made a move for the first time, and it was when Katsuki bullied(?) John. In which, the man in question didn't know why Sera protected him.

'Now that I think about it. Theres something fishy about that guy, to even give them for free' John is in deep thought, remembering the perimeter guy. They helped him, yes. But to think he still gave Sera the stuffrd bear.

"What the!?" Remi cried out.

"?????" John, Sera, Bkyke. and Isen whose frightened and didn't look at John opposite to him surprised of Remi's sudden voice

Isen at the same time looked at the forearm of John, though healed, that is what he grip hard. The latter look at him in dispise 'This trash! Did he found out something?!' He thought while looking at Isen as if he wants to pull Isen's eye out.

"Mind if I open that up? Theres something bothering me, which is inside that thing" Remi gulp after the word. Seing the chip inside.

"!!!!!!!!!!" They all surprised for the second time.

John mind freaked out 'As I thought!' After a small chip stitched out by Remi — A Transmitter device — and electrified it.

"No way! That.. that man needs to be capture!" Sera speaks first

"Wait! We have to devised some plan, enough to capture the culprit! But remember, no authority! Is that clear!?" Remi gathered their heads up created a circle. all of them nodded.

Sera could solo capturing the culprit. But a gathering like this isn't happens everyday, so she let Remi decide this time

As for Remi. Theres a high chance EMBER are behind this just from Sera's story. Above level 5 ability? And a tracking devise? Of course its them. They're targetting high teirs!

"Then. my plan is with this people" Remi draws the names at her notes along with this people. But there are variable thats unexpected.

"No way!? Why are those two!?" Blyke is the first to react. "Isn't it much better if its Arlo!? He can capture anyone with his barrier!"

"Shhhh! Quite! And Asslo's hand is already at full, lets not give him more problem. I assure you, those two are more reliable than you think! This is to increase our chance of capturing the man" She added.

After what she witnessed yesterday. She confirmed that Izuku and the Explosion guy's ability are more than meets the eye. And another manpower means the mission become somewhat light. If its really EMBER, that guy isn't alone. Remi flashes through her mind her brothers corpse is.. she sakes her head.

Sera on the other hand, smiled. This is the difference between them.

Remi, whose only sub for her as a holder of the title of a Queen, was more responsible than her. This made Sera really happy from the bottom of her heart. what a resposible fellow. She thought.

"Remi, thank you, for carrying the burden you shouldn't have" Sera talked about Remi's participating during Turf War and more. Which is originally hers.

"No sweat, Sera. Though not as strong as you, thats also my responsible as a Queen" and so they smiled at each other.

And as for about the added two person for Remi's plan. Sera is also certain that either of those two are strong enough to be at level of Arlo or can dethrone him.

Still, she didn't said the words aloud as the thoughts alone would kill their current mood.

"Speaking of the Devil!" Remi smiled, noticing the duo coming towards the shop they're in.

But those two are Fighting over something?

Cling Clang —

The chime rung as they entered where Remi and co. is,

"Remi-chan? You're here?" Izuku are surprised that Remi is actually looking at them. He waved at her in return.

"Huh!? That fake is also here? And that Dalmatian!?" Seing John and Sera is with them, Katsuki changed of mood and stuffed his arm in his pocket. Then, the duo moved their heel towards the group, they sat at the nearest table besides Remi and co.,

"Why did you fought just now?" Remi asks Izuku.

"Hehe, that is about... Nothi-" Izuku scratched his head

"Our fight didn't continue!" Katsuki cut him. And said an excuse instead

"No? Your wallet is missin-- bwubuehdkfo" but Izuku speaks the truth and Katsuki gobble his mouth. Like a revenge from the last time.

"Urusai!" Katsuki shouted in a bit of embarassment.

"Too bad" Remi sigh in relief after knowing their battle didn't continue, sarcastically. And open her mouth "by the way"

The duo look at her, curiously

"This is my circle of friend, would you two introduce yourself?" Remi asks.

"That fake is your friend? Im Katsuki Bakugo! and what I hated the most.. are two-faced shit!" He looked at John more than any of them, and then closed his eyes in irritated face. He isn't fond of hating(?) girls' and he already healed so he doesn't care about Sera anymore

'Guh' John grind his teeth silently. Sera glance at John. Fake? Two face?, she thought. Especially the current John. He always agitated and easy to provoke this past few days.

"Ah, he's friend of Sera so, a friend of my friend is also my friend, simple right?" Remi explained and smile.

Blyke and Isen listening silently.

"That dalmatian has a name?! Still you still have a debt to pay!" And so thats what he think. Katsuki look at Sera who only smile in return, sipping her tea

"Huh!? Did you sneer!? Huh!?" Katsuki exploded

"You're too rude Kacchan! Umh Hello everyone, I'm Izuku Midoriya, nice to meet you all for the Nth time.. Im sorry that Kac- my friend here is not that friendly" Izuku introduced himself and corrected Katsuki who just snorted. 'But why is the atmosphere are so heavy?' And Izuku's thought added.

Remi and co., nodded after introducing each other.

Katsuki on the other hand silently finished his meal as fast as it came. While others are talking.. about their plan or something.

"John? Maybe lets use your apartment this time." Sera looked towards John from the sideline and made a suggestion. Afterall, if the location from the chip mapped their school. It became bloodbath. And its not good to talk this in the pub.

This time, Remi and co. Already explained to duo their current matters by whispering. And of course, this duo didn't slip this chance (only Katsuki). They had a hunch that this is one of the clue they were after.

On the other hand, John awkwardly scratching his cheek "But my apartment is cramped for all of us here" he replied

"Its alright, I'll blow your wall if they're too cramped!" Katsuki is ironically the first one to reply who don't have any intention to come. He just wanted to piss John off.

John look at him like a prey, like saying 'Im f*cking kill you later!'

While Isen and Blyke. Izuku, Sera and Remi are separately talking.

Katsuki also replied through look 'No!? It was you who I will kill later!'

John and Katsuki created thunder and lightning, sorrounding their area.

= = =

= = =

Second floor at John's Apartment.

"Why your friend come isn't here?" Sera ask Izuku

"Uhh.. he's a claustrophobic?" Izuku excused

"Claustrophobic my ass. Who said he'll blow my wall if its cramp? He's a talkshit you say" John commented and took out a couple of drinks and cups.

'So this are his true color?! Scary!' Izuku thought.

"Don't worry, he'll come.. maybe?" Izuku excused again. 'No he won't' and thought at the same time.

"Now then..." Remi, at the same time, started to asks a few questions to John and Sera, then started the real plan.
