An Inescapable Fear

"Guuuuuuuyysssss... I'm bored..." Alyx whined.

Leonidus sat upside down on the common room couch, kicking his feet in the air as he puffed his cheeks out.

"It doesn't help that somebody's on house arrest, or well, somebodies I should say. Don't you normally hang out with Bakugo and Midoriya as it is anyway?" Jiro replied.

"Yeah, that's the problem, I wanna hang out with all of you and without there being everyone it just doesn't feel the same!" He continued.

"Who haven't you hung out with exactly?" Kyoka giggled.

Alyx sat up and thought for a bit, "Hmm... Now that I'm more focused on my studies, I guess I haven't been able to hang out with a lot of people lately."

"I guess you've got a point, you have been all study happy as of late, what's up with that?" Mina asked.

"I don't really see a point in trying too much when it comes to fighting anymore since I've got my license now. If I can avoid it I will, I don't want my license taken away because I went too far! The real reason why I went out and fought villains before was because I was alright with paying a fine. But now? My family would kill me if they found out I lost my hero license!" Alyx explained.

Kaminari walked into the room, "Yo, what if you showed us that one combo thing you did during that fight on I-Island? That'd be cool!"

"Huh? Oh, you mean 'Spirit Fusion'? That would be fun!" Alyx beamed.

Mikaboshi floated down the stairway as he spoke to Yaoyorozu, Leonidus sharply and scarily quickly turned his head in Amatsu's direction.

"Fuse with me, Boshi!" He exclaimed.

"W-What?! That's absurd, the world isn't in danger, Leonidus!" Mikaboshi responded.

"Pleaaaaaaase? We're bored and we've got nothing to do! It'll be fun!" Alyx pleaded.

"Out of everyone I'm ordered to 'possess'... This is ridiculous! Do you have any idea the cost of that technique? It's not a damn parlor trick one preforms for the entertainment of mindless children!" Amatsu argued.

Mina, Alyx and Kaminari looked appalled, "M-Mindless?!"

"𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘶𝘱𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨!!" Leonidus thought.

"That's right! You can't seriously expect me to do something as idiotic as that for fun." Mikaboshi continued.

[Several Minutes Later...]

"Y-You can't be serious..." Amatsu huffed.

Alyx held up a half written holy Shinto writing on a piece of paper, "You didn't think I knew about this, did you? So are you gonna listen or no?"

Amatsu stuck his hand out as he rolled his eyes, a look of deep regret and anger resided on his face. Leonidus grabbed his hand and a huge flash of light enveloped the room. Everyone in the room uncovered their eyes as the light slowly faded, in front of them stood Leoboshi!

"Hmph... Alright, this it!" Leoboshi grinned.

"Woah! Your hair looks super cool! How long can you stay like this?" Kirishima marveled.

"Forever if we wanted to! That is if Leonidus can actually keep a hold of the fusion longer than 2 hours. Then again, it's doubtful that anyone would be able to even remotely hold a candle up to us." He smirked.

"Is that so? I can kick your ass regardless of if you combined with that damn ghost, you cocky bitch." Bakugo scowled.

"We're literally the combination of perhaps the strongest student here and a God..." Leoboshi muttered.

"I meant what I said, dumbass." Bakugo grumbled back.

Mina held out a shirt to Leoboshi, "Also, put on a shirt, we're raising a respectable person in this household, not a whore."

"Mina! Language!" Momo and Iida scolded.

"What? Bakugo and Alyx get to cuss all the time!" Mina defended.

Leoboshi took the shirt and put it on, he noticed it stopped right at the top of his abdomen.

"Mina... This shirt is way too short!" Leoboshi remarked.

"Those are the shirts I grabbed from Alyx's closet, you didn't know he wears crop tops?" She grinned.

Leoboshi gave off a tired, annoyed look as Kaminari and Mina snickered. Shota entered the dorms to inform them of when they'd be starting class.

"Hey, Mr. Aizawa!" Leoboshi smiled.

Aizawa froze in place, visibly confused as to who was standing in front of him.

"What did you guys do?" Shota sighed.

"They fused into a super strong guy, that's what they did! You should've seen it the first time they did it!" Kaminari bubbled.

"I was going to inform you about when you start classes again, which'll be tomorrow, but now I'm intrigued." Aizawa puzzled.

[10 Minutes Later...]

Leoboshi stood outside on the sports ground, he warmed himself up as Class 1-A stood behind Aizawa.

"Alright, you ready, Leoboshi? They're going to all attack at once." Aizawa called out.

Leoboshi smirked and nodded at him. The class launched their first assault against Leoboshi, each attack they threw at him missed, but he didn't seem to be moving from where he stood! Leoboshi himself even looked surprised! In the Seventh Plane, Amatsu looked over at Leonidus who's eyes were closed, the tips of his hair were glowing white.

"𝑯𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒏... 𝑰𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕-?" He mumbled.

Alyx shot his eyes open and gasped for air, out in the real world, Leoboshi defused right as Iida went in for a flying kick. He smacked Alyx across the face and sent him flying across the ground. Amatsu looked behind him as Leonidus got back up to his feet.

"Damn... You really hit hard with those legs of yours, Iida!" Alyx noted.

"Leonidus, what were you doing in there?" Mikaboshi asked.

"Huh? What was I doing? I'm not sure what you mean." He responded.

Mikaboshi thought back to Chiyoko, "𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘳, 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘺𝘰𝘬𝘰? 𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘰𝘺 𝘥𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥?"

Hundreds of years before, Amatsu's Father invaded Earth, wanting to 'restore fate to how it was originally' for every being on Earth. The one person standing in his way was Chiyoko Sakawa, the First Overdrive User, having unlocked the secrets of Infinite Mode. Unfortunately, Mikaboshi's Father proved to be too strong for her, sending her to the Seventh Plane for eternity. Now, both Amatsu and Chiyoko fear that he will return to do just that, being Leonidus' future counterpart attempted to warn him of certain events.

"Maybe... Just maybe..." Amatsu muttered aside.

Leonidus stood up and brushed himself off, "Well, that was fun!"

As the class wrapped up the quick test, Amatsu walked next to Alyx, looking off into the distance.

"Say, Leonidus, how strong are you?" Mikaboshi wondered.

"How strong am I? Hm... I guess I don't really know honestly. That's a good question, if I recall, my Dad said that I don't really have a limit." Leonidus pondered.

"Woah, for real? That must be cool!" Uraraka replied.

"Uh huh! Also, did you call me a whore, Mina?" Leonidus giggled.

Mikaboshi returned to the Seventh Plane as the students continued to walk back to the dorms. Amatsu appeared in front of Chiyoko who was praying in front of a huge wisteria tree.

"Amatsu, what have you found out about Alyx?" She questioned.

"He has the potential to access Infinite Mode, but without proper training, I'm afraid Leonidus won't be able to utilize it." He informed her.

"And about your... Father..." Chiyoko continued.

Mikaboshi sat down next to her, "We're running out of time, he's erased Future Leonidus' timeline, it's a matter of time before he travels to this one and does the same."

Chiyoko remained silent as she reminisced over her own failure against Mikaboshi's Father. The cries of her own family echoed in her mind as she saw him slaughter them right before her eyes. Chiyoko stood up and looked back at Amatsu.

"We can't let him ruin this world. If we do, then everything we've ever done will be for nothing. The world rests in that boy's hands, Amatsu, I think you know what needs to be done." Chiyoko told him.

[Later That Night...]

Leonidus was fast asleep in his bed, visions of his past flashed in his dreams, his eyebrows flinched as he saw his younger self in a woman's arms.

"𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳... 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩!" A voice echoed.

Alyx then felt a presence loom over him before he could see the woman's face, he quickly shot up and launched his fist over towards as he shouted. His fist connected with nothing as he looked around his room.

"What was that?" Leonidus muttered.

Leonidus calmed down and decided to leave his room to get something to drink. As he did, instead of entering the hallway, he entered a dark throne room. In front of him, two lights sparked to life next to the throne, revealing that it was empty.

"What the... I guess I'm still dreaming..." He mumbled.

Alyx heard doors slam shut, startling him, he quickly hid in a room adjacent to the throne. He slowly peeked out of the room, making sure to stay out of sight of whoever entered the room. Fear coursed through his entire body as he saw a man sitting on the throne. The man's body was a glowing galaxy, his eyes were a soulless white.

"That is All-Maker, Amatsu's Father, and the creator of time itself." Chiyoko spoke up.

Alyx looked to his right, he noticed the room he was in displayed the death of one of his ancestor's at the hands of All-Maker.

"What... You're telling me that..." Alyx sputtered.

"Indeed, Alyx, he is the man solely responsible for establishing an infinite amount of realities. He's also responsible for destroying hundreds of thousands of them as well. Don't worry, he cannot see us, I made sure of that." She confirmed.

The two exited the room and stood in the middle of the throne room. Hundreds of doors lined the room, all of which were open except for one.

"Lady Chiyoko, all of these people... Are these from places he's destroyed?" Alyx asked.

"I'm afraid so, Alyx." Chiyoko nodded.

Alyx stood there in disbelief, he looked up at the door, already understanding what lies behind it. Leonidus slowly looked behind him, rage filling his eyes, the door swung wide open and extreme winds flourished into the throne room.

"A-Alyx...!" Chiyoko gasped.

All-Maker simply smiled as he looked at the doorway. Chiyoko grabbed Leonidus and they teleported back to the Seventh Plane.

"You're going to have to save your emotions for later, if you were to have broken out of the spell, he would've killed you in an instant. For now, you have to prepare, I expect you to be in the Plane tomorrow." Chiyoko scolded.

"Right, I'll do whatever I need to in order to kick that guy's ass." Leonidus replied.

Chiyoko smiled at him before placing her hand on his forehead. Alyx finally woke up in his bed, he stared at his ceiling before returning to bed.

[Two Days Later...]

"Where the hell has Leonidus been?" Bakugo asked.

"Dunno bro, I haven't seen him since Monday, maybe he's out with his parents?" Kirishima assumed.

"No, he hasn't left his room since Monday!" Mina claimed.

Katsuki marched up to Alyx's room alongside the rest of Class A, worried looks were on their faces as Bakugo stood in front of his door. Right before he pounded on the door, it slowly slid open, they saw a much more refined violet Overdrive aura around Leonidus' hand. He stepped out of his room, taking a deep breath out as he looked back at everyone else, he then waved and smiled at them.

"Yo! Sorry I was gone for a while, I was training in the Plane!" He grinned.

"Y-Your hair... How is it that long?!" Toru exclaimed.

Leonidus touched his hair, "Oh, that's because I was in the Seventh Plane for Two years!"

"TWO YEARS!?!?" Everyone shouted.

"It's complicated, but basically one day out here is a one year, one month, and one day in there. Aaaaaand not only that... But I've got a surprise to show all of you too!" Leonidus nodded.

After what sounded like an ominous surprise from Alyx, the students arrived at U.A. Izuku delivered his apology to the class after what happened days prior.

"Now that that's settled, I'd like to discuss more of those Hero Work Studies. In order to do so, I'd like to introduce to you who we call, 'The Big Three'." Shota announced.

Everyone watched with baited breath as the students walked into the room, Leonidus grinned and waved as he saw Nejire.

"Oh! Leonidus! You're in this Class? That's super cool! Oooo! Your classmates all look super cool too! I've got so many things to ask!" Nejire beamed.

"You can ask questions later, Nejire. These are the Big Three, reason being is because they're the top of the Hero Program. Nejire Hado, Tamaki Amajiki, and Mirio Togata are highly experienced in the Hero Work Studies you all will undertake. I'll allow them to explain." Aizawa replied.

"Alright, thanks Eraser Head," Mirio smiled, "Everyone! The future's gonna be...!"

Everyone remained quiet as they waited for Mirio's answer, Kaminari lowered an eyebrow with confusion.

"Gonna be... What?" Denki asked.

"Freakin' awful! You guys have no energy whatsoever! You guys really didn't understand my Plus Ultra joke, huh? I don't understand how such esteemed kids could have personalities like this. Hmm... Say, you all have your licenses, right?" Mirio bubbled.

"Yes, all but two passed the Licensing Exam, why?" Aizawa confirmed.

"I wanna fight 'em! The only way to show them what the Work Studies really do is to go up against these guys!" Mirio claimed.

"Mirio... Are you sure about that?" Amajiki mumbled.

"Of course! Whadda say, Eraser?" Mirio grinned.

Aizawa began to look irritated, "What exactly does this have anything to do with the Work Studies? This is beginning to sound irrational, Togata."

"To show them how much they can improve, silly!" Mirio nervously laughed.

"...Fine, get your gym clothes on, we're going to Gym Gamma." Aizawa sighed.

[Several Minutes Later...]

Mirio sat there and stretched as Class 1-A stood in front of him. Leonidus kept his eyes firmly fixed on Mirio, who noticed Alyx's stare.

"You gotta be kidding me..." Sero shuddered.

"Nope! No kidding from me!" Mirio responded.

Amajiki shook his head, "You're impossible Mirio. You're gonna end up hurting these kids beyond repair."

"Oh, they'll be fine Amajiki!" Mirio waved him off.

"He's right, we've handled Villains before, we'll be just fine." Tokoyami agreed.

"Hell yeah! This isn't any different than a Villain run in! You won't have to hold back, trust us, you'll regret it if you do." Kirishima smirked.

Mirio stopped stretching and smiled back, "Sure, but in order for me to find out, you're gonna have to prove it! Now, which one of you wants to start this off first?"

"I'll start." Midoriya spoke up.

Midoriya darted towards Mirio, he gasped with surprise as Mirio's clothes suddenly fell off. He took the chance and swung a kick at him, but it phased through him! A sudden burst of attacks came towards him, Izuku quickly moved out of the way.

"W-What!? Where's he at?!" Iida wondered.

Mirio popped up behind Jiro, "Surprise! Time to take out the long distance fighters!"

Jiro screeched as Mirio loomed over her. He slowly took out the students one by one, leaving just a few students left. Leonidus stood there, unnerved and unmoving from his spot.

"Alright, that's a wrap on the long distance fighters, now it's just you guys!" Mirio smiled.

Mirio ran towards them, he dived under the ground before popping up behind Izuku. Midoriya was able to read Mirio's movements but was unable to read his Ultimate Move. He effortlessly knocked down the other students, then he got to Leonidus, who still stood calmly. Mirio went in for a punch but his hand phased right through Alyx. Mirio looked surprised as he saw Alyx standing a few feet in front of him. Leonidus zoomed towards him with his fist reeled back.

"𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘔𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯! 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐'𝘮 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘰𝘧!" Leonidus thought.

His fist went right through Mirio's face, a white line appeared in Leonidus' eye, he gasped with excitement. The Opening Thread that his Grandfather Tanjiro told him stories about finally shown up! Alyx took the risk and it paid off, he slammed his fist right into Mirio's stomach, Togata looked awestruck at Leonidus' quickness.

"W-Woah! That's a first!" Mirio smiled.

"Holy moly! Amajiki look! That Leonidus boy just landed a hit on Togata!" Nejire chirped.

Amajiki turned around and saw that Leonidus was still standing against Mirio.

"What...? There's no way..." He muttered.

Mr. Aizawa and Shoto looked awestruck, the same with both Nejire and Amajiki. Mirio watched as Alyx stood in his fighting stance.

"Incredible, is this really Darren and Marie's son? How on Earth did he move in the air like that? There's no possible way he had enough time to move..." Mr. Aizawa wondered.

"𝑾𝒐𝒘, 𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝑰 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝑸𝒖𝒊𝒓𝒌! 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒌𝒊𝒅, 𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒂 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕-𝒀𝒆𝒂𝒓, 𝒉𝒆 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒆'𝒔 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈. 𝑰'𝒎 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝑸𝒖𝒊𝒓𝒌 𝒂𝒔 𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒆!

Mirio stood up straight, "Hey, what's your name?"

"It's Alyx Leonidus, sir." He replied.

"Leonidus, huh? You're pretty strong, I can tell that just by looking at you, and by what I just felt a moment ago. Color me impressed, if this is what the First-Years at U.A. have to offer, then I'm excited to see how far you grow! Let's keep going!" Mirio grinned.

Mirio let the other students get up and make their way to the side. Alyx smiled and nodded at him before beckoning him to continue. Mirio smiled back at him and readied himself. The two stood off, staring down one another, neither of them daring to blink. Alyx darted towards Mirio and his punch phased through him. Mirio caught him with a punch to the stomach. Alyx tried to grab his arm but it phased through as well! Mirio spun behind Leonidus, disappearing into the ground below, he popped back up to the left of him. Alyx caught Mirio in the face with a fake out uppercut!

Mirio fell to the ground and phased into it once more. Alyx stood and waited, he heard a noise come from behind him, but nobody was there!

"Over here!" Mirio called out.

Leonidus looked to his right and saw Mirio's fist coming right for him! It phased through his face, blinding him, and Mirio went for a left hand strike. Instead, Leonidus moved forward, headbutting Mirio in the process! Mirio flipped upwards but landed on his feet, he turned around and saw that Leonidus had disappeared. Alyx's left leg crashed into Mirio's side! Mirio rolled across the ground and grinned at him.

"Hey! You aren't stealing a page out of my book, are you?" Mirio chuckled.

"I guess I'm just learning!" Alyx shouted to him.

Mirio nodded and charged forward, seemingly in a change of tactics!

"He's charging at him? What is he doing?" Izuku wondered.

As he charged forward, he sunk into the ground, Leonidus realized something. But he needed to test it before he was certain!

"𝘔𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘰'𝘴 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘬, 𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨! 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘳, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦!" Alyx thought to himself.

Mirio popped up behind him, Alyx dodged his attack, and started hopping from place to place.

"Alright! I can play that game as well!" Mirio exclaimed.

Before he went under, Alyx landed on the left side of the gym. Once Mirio went under, he quickly moved several feet behind his regular position. Mirio popped out of the ground, expecting to nail Leonidus with an uppercut, but hit nothing but air! He looked to his left and right before looking behind him. Alyx gave him a sly smile, Mirio responded back with a smile of his own. The entire gym was completely silent, Nejire and Amajiki were left wide eyed!

"He's a different breed, that's for sure. He definitely reminds me of Mirio." Amajiki remarked.

"Really? You think so, Jiki?" Nejire responded.

Tamaki reminisced on their past, "His skills were unmatched when he got serious, remember? I'm getting the same feeling from this kid."

"That Quirk of yours is really something, Leonidus! I don't think I've ever seen anyone move as fast as you before." Mirio grinned.

"Thank you, Mirio! The secret behind it was the fact that I've mastered my Gear One transformation of my Overdrive Quirk. I can't believe how incredible you are, the only thing keeping me from losing was my speed!" Leonidus smiled back.

The students then all regrouped, everyone was clutching their stomachs, but Leonidus was standing with a brightly shining smile on his face.

"Sorry if you guys caught a glimpse of my willy! But anyway, that's pretty much what it's like to fight me." Mirio told them.

"B-But... Leonidus was the only one who actually got to fight you..." Deku remarked.

"Uh huh, that's right. So, what'd you think? My Quirk's pretty strong, huh?" Mirio asked.

"Um, yeah! Way too strong!" Sero whined.

"Yeah! There's no way that was fair at all! My Quirk can't even match up to that!" Hagakure complained.

Mina stepped forward, "How does that Quirk of yours even work? Slipping through things or warping, which is it? Do you have two Quirks or something?!"

"Nope! I actually just have one!" Mirio corrected her.

"Yeah! Yeah! Ooo, that was so exciting! Togata's Quirk is called 'Permeation'! Cool, right?" Nejire bubbled.

"Nejire, could you just let Mirio explain it, please?" Amajiki pleaded.

Mirio nodded and their attention returned to him, "My Quirk's called 'Permeation'! What you guys thought was a warp was simply just another application of that power! I activate my Quirk in my entire body, then, I can pass through pretty much anything I want to without problem!"

"Woah, so that's why you fell through the floor of the gym? It was because of your Quirk?" Uraraka wondered.

Mirio agreed with Uraraka then continued to explain how his Quirk works. Eventually, he began to talk to Class 1-A about the Hero Work Studies.

"In our Work-Studies, we aren't treated as guests like our internships, we're treated as real sidekicks or even as a Pro Hero! It definitely can be super scary, Pros can get hurt and some of them can even see people die, but every one of those scary or painful experiences you go through is an important experience that you can't get inside of the classroom. Even right here at U.A.! I transformed those experiences into power, that's exactly how I got to where I'm at! That's why I think they're worth it, even if you might be scared, so... Are you with me, First-Years!?" Mirio explained.

The class cheered and clapped at his pep talk. Leonidus thought deeply about Mirio's ending words he said at the end, Alyx thought about his Father's passing, and how he could use that as power. As the training session concluded, the students were all dismissed, the Big Three walked the hallways of U.A. with a new outlook on the upcoming generation.

"Togata, I've got a question, did any of those First-Years surprise you at all? Come on, spill the beans already!" Nejire wondered.

"Yeah, the problem child did! He managed to analyze my movements and even attempted to counter them! I'm sure that Sir would love to have him on board! But... That one kid, Alyx Leonidus, he was the one that truly stood out to me." Mirio replied.

"Yeah, I seen that. Did he really land a hit on you first?" Amajiki asked.

"Yep! I was impressed, that look in his eyes, it wasn't like the problem child's or the other First-Years'. It was almost as if he knew exactly what to do against me, someone like him would do wonders for Sir!" Mirio confirmed.

They continued to walk through the school hallway and Mirio stopped a few feet away from the Class 1-A door. Togata smiled as he stared at the door.

"𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴, 𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘩𝘦'𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘚𝘪𝘳 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘺𝘦'𝘴 𝘈𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘩𝘦'𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥. 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵." Mirio thought.

Mirio continued to walk towards Nejire and Amajiki, leaving the Class 1-A door, and then leaving U.A. with his friends.
