Interlude: Back to School Life

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

After the mock battle with Mirio, since that was what it was at the end of the day, Selene and Celestia found that they and the rest of their class started to return to a state of normalcy, back to what their days had been like before the events that had caused them to move into the dorms. Such a thing meant going back to each of their other classes, listening to each of their teachers during their new lectures, as in picking up where they left off and even stepping into new territory, and just doing what they normally did. It was a nice change of pace, really, since this meant they wouldn't have to worry about being bothered by villains or having their schoolwork interrupted, since the sisters were more focused on performing well and being great heroes when they graduated. They weren't the only ones that were happy to be back to a normal school life, as a good majority of the students had to agree with the sisters, and even some of the teachers were pleased with the return to normalcy, especially after how chaotic things had been recently.

Of course there were some of the students who wanted to partake in the next round of internships, even though it wasn't necessary for freshmen to do so, and the sisters found that the staff members were split on this matter, as some were of the opinion that it was too soon and others were fine with letting them do so.

Eventually Aizawa came to them with new information, that the staff members were going to allow freshmen to partake in this new round of internships, but this time it was only at locations that had a good track record when taking in interns, such as Ryukyu and some of the other heroes. Naturally for Selene this presented a challenge since technically Mirko didn't have an agency, though at the same time her mentor had been allowed to have an intern since she, herself, had a good track record when it came to her work, so it was really hard to tell. Celestia, on the other hand, didn't have much to worry about since Ryukyu was on the list of acceptable agencies to go to, so it was just a matter of contacting the agency and arranging for her to spend some time under her own mentor once more. The only downside for everyone, especially Izuku, was that Aizawa told them that he expected them to use their contacts from the last internship to find new places to use for this new round of internships, in the event that their previous agencies weren't on the new list.

Izuku tried Gran Torino, since training with All Might's mentor would allow him to further grow his power, but the sisters found that he was refused almost instantly, because the old guy he had interned with was working with the police on a very important case, causing the sisters to move into Selene's room while Izuku wondered what to do next.

"He's still chasing father... or at least father's old connections." Selene commented, though she was somewhat happy that she was able to speak with Celestia about this freely now, instead of hiding this from Celestia all the time, and while she did want to bring Izuku into the fold she knew it would shatter their brother's view on the world and he wouldn't be able to keep anything he was told a secret.

"Kurogiri, no doubt... they're still searching for Tomura." Celestia said, leaning against the wall for a moment, showing Selene that she understood what was going on right now and that she had arrived at the answer rather quickly, in fact she was just a step ahead of the game, despite being so late in being introduced to everything involving Hisashi, before she sighed as she glanced out the window, "You know, part of me wishes we could just sit father, Toshinori, and some of the teachers down for a nice long talk, iron out some of the details and tell the officials that they were wrong about father, and maybe make some sort of progress towards a better future... it's a fools dream, I know, but it would be a nice future to work towards."

Selene nodded her head in agreement, the future her sister was thinking of would be nice, but at the same time she had no idea if it would work or not, especially since Toshinori hated their father, hated 'All For One', with all his heart, so if they were to reveal that truth it might backfire in a horrible manner. At the same time she stared at Celestia, because the longer her sister wielded Solarion the more and more she learned about her weapon, especially after she revealed that it was made of adamantine and was enchanted, something that had surprised Selene more than a little. The fact of the matter was that she was still worried about her sister understanding who she used to be, the return of the old Celestia, and with the constant information that the sword was feeding Celestia she had a feeling it was only a matter of time until the dam broke. That was what worried her the most, because she loved this version of Celestia, the two of them were truly sisters that cared for each other, fought together, and made sure to grow while pushing the other to improve themselves to even greater heights.

As she thought about that, however, Selene decided to shelve those thoughts and considered their next move, because both of them were actually planning on tackling another internship, because more experiences would serve them well as heroes, which was why she had a question she wanted to ask her sister.

"So, where are you planning on going for your next internship?" Selene asked, because she was thinking of seeing if Mirko was on the list, given that she, her first intern, had done so well in following her directions and they even did well during the villain event that happened while Stain was dealt with.

"I've put my name down for Ryukyu's agency, to continue my training... and for Sir Nighteye's as well." Celestia replied, which caused Selene to raise an eyebrow for a moment, she honestly wasn't expecting her sister to deviate from her chosen path, to which Celestia shrugged, like she thought it was no big deal to make such a decision, "I figured that new experiences would benefit me greatly, instead of staying at a single agency all the time, like how Shoto is planning on signing up for his father's agency again. Each agency has their own strengths and weaknesses, so learning from multiple agencies would be the best course of action in my mind, for you can learn all sorts of roles and skills to make yourself a better hero."

"You got me there. I hadn't considered that." Selene said, as she had been focused on Mirko, they worked well together, and it made her wonder if there was another agency she might want to put her name out for to see if they would take her on as an intern, like her sister was thinking about doing, something she figured she could think about later, "Still kind of surprised you'd pick him, of all heroes, to be honest... but I'm not going to argue with your decision."

Celestia nodded her head a little to that, though she had a feeling that her sister would pick a great agency to go to for her next internship, Selene was a smart girl and would do what was right for herself, while at the same time she found herself eager to see what the future held in store for them and the rest of their class.


Hisashi sighed as he leaned back into the chair that he was sitting in, because after getting used to living with his family and using his own bed, which he was eternally grateful to Celestia for since he had been missing all of this, he had been true to his word, his 'work' was hunting down his foolish student. That was why he was in one of the secondary smaller bases that he and Kurogiri had set up in the past, before his first battle with All Might, sitting in a chair as he went over the screen he and his second had put together after he contacted Kurogiri again. They had come up with a number of locations and areas, in all of Japan, that Tomura could hide in, locations that would house him and his allies until he thought it was time to move onto whatever the next stage of his operations might be. Of course that was assuming that Tomura even had a plan in mind, as his former student had been a complete disaster when he was trying to teach him how to be another 'Robin Hood', to work for the betterment of the weak and the outcasts, but that had failed.

Of course he didn't tell Inko all of this, rather whenever he went out he made sure she thought it was due to his 'job', as in the one he told her about when he was originally wounded by All Might, only modified to fit his new life, but even as that thought came to mind again he let out another frustrated sigh.

"Tomura... where oh where did you go?" Hisashi asked the empty room, as the screen had a number of red crosses that he had placed on it after determining that his student hadn't been to the area, because he and Kurogiri were taking turns on heading out, searching an area one of them thought might provide useful information, and right now his assistant was in the middle of investigating another area.

His inner musings were interrupted as a gate opened nearby and Kurogiri stepped out of it, no doubt after making sure that the coast was clear on the other side, since Gran Torino was hunting him in addition to hunting Tomura, and this caused him to turn his head as the gate closed behind his assistant.

"Any luck?" Hisashi asked, as he had the feeling that the answer was going to be a resounding 'no', since they hadn't had any luck tracking Tomura down and he suspected such a thing wasn't going to change, but he also knew it didn't hurt to ask the question, since they had been doing so since they started doing this.

"No, Tomura wasn't at the warehouse... but it was busted up, light someone had been fighting." Kurogiri replied, something that caught Hisashi's attention, since it meant there was a chance that the League of Villains was breaking apart due to the order to stick to the shadows, or whatever order Tomura had given them, but he also knew it could mean someone attacked their hideout and forced them to move, "I also found traces of Magne's body all over the place, as well as bits of Compress' left arm... there was also a large hole in the side of the building, like a giant Quirk was used."

"So, someone ambushed them? It annoys me that Tomura never took my lessons seriously when he was under my wing, but then uses them so well once I'm out of the picture." Hisashi commented, which was the truth, something that made him take a moment to wonder if they would be in this situation if he had worked on Tomura's attitude first, even though he really had no idea how his former student had developed the mindset he was known for.

"I would agree. He had the potential to do good for the outcasts, but now that's a thing of the past." Kurogiri said, though he stood there for a few seconds, thinking about the rest of the information he had been able to retrieve, and withdrew what appeared to be a fragment of a plague doctor mask, something that caught the attention of Hisashi as a frown appeared on his face, "I'm afraid that it is as you're thinking: the Shie Hassaikai, or the Eight Precepts of Death or Eighthold Cleansers, whichever name you feel like calling them, have made their move."

"Damn... they're likely planning on bringing Tomura to heel, by way of some deal, so they can claim the influence that he's been given by the other villains and outcasts." Hisashi remarked, and he meant those that were focused on destruction, like Muscular for example, since the innocent outcasts were actually flocking to Toya's banner, to join the 'Order of Outcasts', as he and toga were working hard to help those that were just like them, "I was hoping to find Tomura and take Decay before this happened... the Precepts are going to be annoying to deal with, especially since they made Tomura move."

"Sir, with all due respect, I think it's time we took a break. You should head home and spend some time with Inko, instead of worrying about Tomura." Kurogiri stated, though they both knew that he would continue the search while his boss relaxed, because he didn't have an ordinary life to return to, he had devoted his life to ensuring that Hisashi was able to accomplish his goals, even if that meant giving up the potential for an ordinary life, "I'll contact you if anything changes."

Hisashi sighed, he was going to have to talk with Kurogiri later and get him to understand that he was free to have his own life, outside of their various duties and actions, but, for the time being, he agreed with the shadowy figure as he got up and used the gate to return to his house, even though he did have to wonder what the coming days held in store for them.
