Ichika, together with the other first year watched from the bench as they witness their staters get destroyed by the opponent's team for the first half of the game.

|Tokyo [19] - [65] Akita|

*Whistle*

The referee blew his whistle as the first half ended and the players returned to their respective benches.

*Bam!*

The tall blonde guy who's the small forward kicked the chair in front of him in frustration.

"Fuck!"

"Their center is really annoying!"

The blonde guy with huge body was furious as he glared to the other team side. He was the center of the team.

The Captain who was their power forward was breathing heavily.

"Captain, are you okay? Look like you put a lot of effort in the defense this time."

Ichika has a wide grin his face, seeing his Captain exhausted.

*Pant* *Pant*

"They're good... It's really hard to stop them."

"Oh, really?"

"If you have nothing to do, at least try to cheer us instead of taking a nap over there."

The Captain really wants to complain about him.

Suddenly, the tall blonde guy grabbed the collar of their point guard and lifted him up.

"Damn you! This is your fault! Your pass to me is always not on timing so they easily take the ball from me "

Their point guard got frightened of him and trembled,

"Hey! I just passed the ball just like you asked!"

"Huh?!"

The tall blonde guy glared intensely at him.

"You already had a lot of turnover..."

"What did you say? That was all your fault! I can easily carry this team if it wasn't my teammates was this bunch of scrubs!"

"Hey! That was too much!" The Captain tried to scold him.

"Do you have a problem with me? Your defense sucks that you can't guard any of them!"

"They are using pick and roll against me. Of course, I can't defend them if you're not helping me!"

"Full of excuses! You just sucks! I'm the main scorer here and I ran the offense. You guys are not just doing your job!"

"Offense..."

Ichika mumbled as he remembered that he only scored 'six points' on the whole first half.

"Pfffffft!"

He chuckled and stomach hurts from laughing.

The Captain and the other noticed this then they looked at him with disappointed eyes.

The coach is just chilling on the sideline while waiting for the second half of the game to start.

"This team is trash! I'm quitting!"

When the tall blonde guy threw down his towel, he noticed that atmosphere of the team was very gloomy. Only Ichika has a bright mood who is laughing at their Captain. This made him pissed off and walked towards him.

"Oi! Do you think this is funny?"

He grabbed him in the shirt.

"Yeah, you said, you ran the offense despite having a single digit in points. Hahaha!" Ichika laughed at him.

"I'll kill you!"

The tall blonde guy lost himself and was about hit him.

"Ack..."

He felt a sudden chill in his body and he was unable to breathe.

"I can't... breath..."

The Captain breaks through between them and the others immediately grabbed Ichika together.

When the tall blonde guy dropped on the floor, his eyes widened seeing a conceited grin in Ichika's face.

"You... Ugh..."

He lost consciousness.

When they checked on him,

"Hurry! Call an ambulance! He collapsed from fatigue!"

The tall blonde guy was sent to the hospital.

---

With team left with more depressing atmosphere, the captain taps Ichika's shoulder and spoke some moving words.

"Ichika, you're our only hope. Let's win this game just the last time we played together!"

....

Suddenly, Ichika's phone rang and he immediately check who was it.

"Sorry, someone is calling me at home. Maybe later."

He left the bench and went outside the gym.

"Ichika!" the Captain yelled.

Outside, on the 2nd floor of the building was Nejire walking alone in the hallway when she saw the guy the he met few hours ago, running outside the gymnasium. He was so in hurry that it looks very suspicious.

Nejire decided to run and follow after him.

Arriving behind the school building, she saw Ichika waiting for someone. She immediately hid behind the corner and try to peek on what's happening.

Ichika was looking around until slim, muscular man with gray hair shaped into three sharp points that cover the right side of his face and dark gray eyes. He was wearing a mask over his lower face, covering his nose and mouth.

Nejire was surprised when he recognized the man which was a well-known Pro Hero.

"Isn't that Edgeshot? What is Pro Hero doing here?" she was surprised and confused at the same time.

Edgeshot took out a folder from his back and gave it to Ichika.

"Sorry for the disturb but the commission told me that this is very urgent."

Ichika took and opened the folder as he reads the content.

"Pfffffft!" he suddenly chuckled.

"As expected, it's about the salary."

"Sorry, Mr. President but even I want to complain. Even Pro Heroes has some family to support and the monthly allowance we receive is not enough." Edgeshot spoke.

Nejire was shock when Edgeshot called him 'Mr. President'. She just learned something unbelievable as she became nervous, listening to their conversation.

Ichika scratched the back of his head,

"You know, Edgeshot... I'm doing everything in my power to bring back the support of the masses. The monthly allowance I'm sending you guys came from my own pocket money. Unfortunately, without the approval from the Ministry of Finance, Pro Heroes assets are still freeze. There's still a lot of Pro Heroes which is under investigation of corruption."

"Still... Can you do something? Most Pro Heroes are already cleared from that, right?"

Edgeshot looks like he was begging at him already.

Ichika saw that and he sighs,

"Fine... Since I just caught a big fish last month and earned a lot of money from the bounty. I suppose I lend some cash for your salaries. Only to the Pro Heroes who's clear from corruption though."

Edgeshot bowed to him with gratitude,

"Thank you, Mr. President."

"Oh, that's right! There's a good news for you guys. To all Pro Heroes who are cleared from investigation and survived this passed three years with only monthly allowance, there will be an increase on your salaries and benefits when you will receive it."

Edgeshot was glad to hear that but he didn't show it in his face.

Ichika signed the paper on the folder then he gave it back to him.

"Here."

Edgeshot bowed to him again as he received back the folder.

"How's Dad?"

"You mean, All Might? He's currently in Saitama after defeating some bunch of robbers."

"I guess he's doing fine."

"Then Mr. President. Have a nice day."

Edgeshot jumped over the wall and disappeared.

"Haha! I felt like a Hokage right now."

Ichika laughed as he walked back to the gymnasium.

Turning to the corner, he walked pass in front of Nejire then he halted his step when he noticed her.

"Nejire-senpai?"

"Mr. President?"

Ichika's face became pale when she called him that.

"Did you hear?"

"Yeah, everything. To think you're the No. 1 Hero's son. I have a lot of things I want to ask you."

Ichika walks casually away, avoiding eye contact.

"You've got the wrong person!"

Seeing Ichika's reaction, Nejire was intrigued and she became engrossed on knowing more about him. Her expression which was usually cold and indifferent shows a slight smile as she followed after him.

"Nee, Ichika-kun... You live with your dad, right? How was he when you two are at home? All Might's quirk remains a mystery, do you know anything about it? If you're his son, why is your hair pink? Can you tell me about your quirk? Nee? Nee? Nee?"

She keeps moving around him while asking him a lot of questions.

"I didn't hear anything!"

Ichika covered his ears as he walks faster.

Nejire tried to keep up with his pace.

"Ichika -kun? There's more..."

Ichika ran away and Nejire chased after him.

"Ichika-kun!"

"Don't follow me!"

"Mr. President!"

"Don't call me that!"
