My Hero Academia: Blood and Fire

Due to the fact that they were flying it didn't take Celestia and Ryukyu long to reach the hero agency that Ryukyu was in charge of, which was a decent sized brown building with dark glass windows, it also had a billboard of her designer wear, the Dragoir brand, even if her mentor didn't seem terribly interested in that thing. With their arrival Ryukyu reverted to her base form and Celestia tucked in her wings when she landed, allowing them to head inside for a time, where she pointed out the area that all of the heroes in her employ kept their gear, the locker room. She had a few set aside for the students she accepted for this event, at least four in case UA and the other hero schools requested that more exercises like this happen, or if they were told to accept more students. With such a thing in mind Ryukyu gave Celestia some space so she could get into her hero gear, allowing her some time to check in with the rest of the other heroes that were part of the agency, not to mention the other student that was a year ahead of Celestia.

Eventually Celestia regrouped with her mentor, where Ryukyu walked around her for a moment, taking in the hero gear her student had chosen for herself, before nodding her head for a moment, as she could see why Celestia would decide to go with this sort of attire.

"You look like a proper heroine now." Ryukyu commented, and it was the truth, Celestia really looked like a pro, which was both due to her training and the girl's incredible skill, in fact she knew that most of this was due to her student and all of the effort she put into trying to reach this point, "So, what's your hero name?"

"Daybreaker, as in she who brings the light while chasing away the shadows." Celestia answered, though unlike Midnight she could see that her mentor understood the meaning behind her chosen hero name, especially since she might have heard of the one called 'Sun Eater', causing her to focus on her mentor and the work they would be doing, "So, what's first?"

"Normally I would have a small welcome meal, to welcome you to the team, but we have work to do." Ryukyu said, though she was happy to see that Celestia was motivated to get started, she wanted to get started and didn't want to fall behind, to which she suspected her student would become a wonderful hero in the future, "There is a group of villains that are causing trouble nearby, and from what the report says one has a gigantification Quirk, another has a fire Quirk, and the third has a long arms Quirk. We're going to bring them down before they do anymore damage to the surrounding area, and make sure they don't harm any of the civilians that are in the area."

Celestia nodded as they departed from the agency building without delay, heading down the street this time instead of just flying everywhere, plus it was close so both of them could conserve energy for the battle ahead, and found that her mentor was right, the villains were close to their base of operations. Sure enough there was a man who seemed to be taking joy in the act of smashing the cars that were around the area, a woman who was wearing tattered clothes and hurled fireballs that seemed to miss everything she was targeting, and the younger male with long arms was actually producing rope to restrain his targets. As Ryukyu expected the would be villains noticed them arriving and charged at them, which she wasn't even a tad bit surprised by since some youngsters really liked being on the news, meaning attacking heroes was the best course for people like this, but she knew they had made a grave mistake. Instead of targeting her, the more well known hero and thus potentially giving them a higher reputation if they somehow brought Ryukyu down, they sought to bring Celestia down, no doubt to show that Ryukyu was a terrible person for letting her student fall.

There was a reason this was a terrible decision in Ryukyu's mind, as the younger male tried to wrap his rope arms around Celestia and the girl simply jumped up before slamming her feet down into the arms, sending them into the ground, and the moment that her foe winced from the pain she picked up his arms and wrapped them around him. Following that the giant man brought a car down on the area that Celestia landed in, meaning the defeated villain wouldn't be hurt and the civilians wouldn't be caught in the crossfire, only for him to realize that he had failed to harm her. The reason for that was due to the fact that Celestia had slipped into her hybrid form, a form Ryukyu didn't have, who knew that this form boosted what had to be the greatest defense in the world, as Celestia's dragon scales were far stronger than even Ryukyu's. Celestia was able to pull herself from the wreckage of the car without wasting time and leapt into the air, spinning around before kicking the man down into the ground, all within a few moments no less.

The flame lady, however, found that the bits of fire that actually struck Celestia didn't do anything to her and when Celestia shifted into her base form to use Sunshine she discovered how her flames did nothing, as they were no match for the power of the sun, leading to the girl knocking the lady down so she could be captured as well.

"You definitely have great potential, Daybreaker. You will be an excellent hero one day." Ryukyu said, as it was custom for pro heroes to use the hero names of their students while doing the field training, so the public knew who they were and had a face or mask to link with each new name that would join the existing pro heroes, and yet she was simply amazed by what Celestia was capable of, in such a short period of time no less.

"Thank you. I endeavor to learn from you and use your teachings to make myself a better hero." Celestia replied, which was the truth, there was much she could learn about being a hero by watching and working with a pro hero, and she was eager to see what the future held in store for her, all while using Sunshine to make small orbs that would keep the minor villains from leaving the area.

Ryukyu smiled as she watched Celestia work, the girl had a bright future as a hero if this was how she worked in the field, a fact that made her happy that she was able to work with her much more closely now, something that made her interested in what the coming days held in store for them and the city.

"So, this is my base of operations." Mirko said, where she and Selene stopped at what appeared to be a gym, though she did note that the door they walked through happened to have Mirko's name on it, meaning this had to be her personal area and was likely paying for it, especially since it seemed like multiple rooms had been merged into a residence, "Here I relax and train before heading out on my long patrols. Technically I don't have an agency, so there should be no way for me to even be able to take on a student for field training... but I am no ordinary hero, and you are no ordinary student, so we can bypass some of the obstacles that would have stood in our way. Go ahead and set your suitcase down anywhere you like, then we can get started."

"As you wish." Selene replied, something that was followed by her finding a changing area and she moved behind it, where she changed into her hero gear without delay, which caused Mirko to raise an eyebrow with a smirk on her face as she took in what she was seeing right now, "I am Nightmare, she who inspires fear in the villains and hope in the people."

"You know, that has a nice ring to it... 'Nightmare', I like it." Mirko stated, plus she liked how her student looked, because Selene looked like a proper hero now, though at the same time she beckoned to her student for a moment as she started to leave the building, along with locking up the residence once they were both outside, "Now, let us start your field training the old fashioned way: by roaming the city, kicking villains onto their backs, and saving the people from harm."

Selene nodded as they headed outside the gym once more, where they stepped out into the city and started to do what her mentor did best, run forward and hop around the city while looking for people to help, villains to beat up, or whatever might catch their interest. She quickly came to understand why Mirko set up a base in this part of Japan, there seemed to be a fair amount of villains to fight with, as they bumped into what appeared to be a gang of minor villains that were trying to steal from several of the stores around them. Mirko spun around and brought the heel of her foot down on the shoulder of one of the villains, knocking him to the ground before he could do anything to stop her, which was around the time that Selene dropped down into the scene as she shifted into her hybrid form. As that happened Mirko shifted her focus towards helping the civilians that were around the area, as she knew that Selene had this covered and that her student really didn't need her assistance, she was a great fighter and would succeed in no time.

The amount of enemies reminded Selene of the invasion of UA, the one that she and Celestia had demolished in no time at all, causing her to simply do what she did last time, that being rush at her enemies, dodge attacks that were coming at her, and disappear into the shadows before lashing out at her enemies. Mirko smiled as she watched the display, because it was clear that Selene really did take after her, as the girl's attacks were swift and to the point, wasting no movements while also leaving no holes in her defenses. Even the villains that dared to get close to her didn't last long as Selene used Hydra to stop their attacks and knock them to the ground, thus allowing them to be knocked out for the time being, causing the hero to realize that the girl really did take after her, they were identical in many ways. She also knew there was no real reason for her to get involved in this fight, Selene had the bases covered and knocked her opponents out without wasting time, one of the last ones even surrendered after realizing a school girl had beaten the stuffing out of them.

"I was right, you really do have what it takes to be a hero." Mirko said, as she had suspected that Selene would have made a great hero when they first encountered each other, but now, after all the training and hard work the girl had put in, she could see that she was right and was eager to continue to help Selene grow into a wonderful hero, "Very well done, Nightmare. I'll keep an eye on these ones, since the officials will be here soon, so why don't you look around the area for a few moments and see if there is anything else we need to do while we're in this area."

Selene nodded and started to move around the area, not really seeing anything that might qualify as something that a hero had to get involved in, but she did find a girl who looked like a school girl whose hair was done up in buns standing in one of the alleys, so she landed nearby, since she suspected the girl needed help.

"Is something wrong?" Selene asked, though in that moment she realized something important, the girl's eyes and mouth were shaped like a feline's, or at least they resembled such a thing, but her most striking feature were her canines, they were just like Selene's, shaped like a vampire's.

"I... I saw you during the festival, and I wanted to know how someone with a Quirk like mine can get the attention you were given." the girl replied, though it was clear there was something wrong with the girl, she seemed to be thinking about what was on her mind, so while she wasn't in danger, at least not from what Selene could see at the moment, something was definitely bothering her, "My name is Himiko Toga, and I have..."

"A blood related Quirk?" Selene finished, because that was why the girl's canines resonated with her, they reminded her of how she first started out when her father and the good doctor found her, where Himiko nodded for a moment, which was followed by Selene showing off her own canine's, "I do have multiple Quirks, but I haven't told the public about my true second Quirk, that of Vampire... oh, I get it now, you're wondering how I've managed to get around how people view those with such a Quirk. Well, it helps that many think that the fangs are part of my Tiger Quirk, so I'm able to hide the truth... but I do face discrimination since I'm a mutant... you know, Himiko, you look like you could use a friend."

"I... don't have any friends right now... everyone is too scared of me." Himiko said, where Selene realized why the girl was so sad right now, in fact it looked like the girl might have been cast out by her parents at some point, nor did she have any real training in how to control the urges that her Quirk likely forced on her, not from what Selene was seeing, "I drink blood to turn into people, and the more blood I have the longer I can maintain my transformation... but how I acted in the past was seen as deviant and my parents tried to force me into the mold of society, instead of helping me."

"Interesting. I drink blood to boost my overall skills, but the main part allows me to copy one's Quirk... hey, maybe we can get together later and I can show you some pointers?" Selene inquired, because she had realized something, if she copied the girl's Transform Quirk, and took on the power that was bothering Himiko so much, there was a chance she could figure out what was bothering the girl and give her some pointers on how to control herself, plus if they swapped blood there was a chance her kindness might change the girl's life for the better.

Himiko smiled for a moment and embraced Selene, as even the mere thought of someone being kind to her was enough to move her, causing Selene to smile as she resolved to call her father later and see if he could arrange to help Himiko as well, all while she had to wonder what the coming days might throw at her, her sister, and the rest of Japan.
