Jotaro left, leaving 6 kids and an awkward atmosphere behind him, inside the common room.
Only Suzuki and Kiku, the pale looking girl doesn't seem disturbed by the fact that none of them was speaking. They only seem interested in their schedule and training regime, not even bothering to look at the other kids.
"So... what are you planning to do right now? We still have one week before the start of the schedule." Hitomi said, dispelling the awkward atmosphere. Being a very social girl, this kind of scene is unbearable for her mind.
"I have nothing to do, if you have nothing planned too, we can get to know each other better during this week. After all, we will train and learn together for the next decade." Suzuki said, not lifting his head from his schedule.
"Yes, we'd better do this first so that we can finish earlier and I can get back to my books." the tired-looking girl said, quite lazily.
"Ye-yes!" The chubby boy seemed to agree with them.
"You are lucky I don't have my video games yet!" Katsu said, sitting on a single sofa.
"I'm certain we will become great friends!" The always energetic Erza said, bringing Suzuki to a seat next to her on the larger sofa."
At 7 p.m, the team was given several pizzas by Mikita, who didn't forget to remind them to go sleep at 9 p.m, so they can get used to waking up early for the next week. Some times later, the kids seemed to know a lot more about each other, even though getting to understand some complex minds like Suzuki's, which face rarely change or Kiku who barely talked with others except Suzuki or Erza. For sure, some friendship takes more time because like all humans, some have affinities and others do not.
The next day, some kids could be seen sitting on the floor before the T.V of the common room, Katsu, Erza, and Hitomi were playing at video games belonging to Katsu. Behind them, Genta is making a cake with the help of Mikita. Her mind of big sister, couldn't allow him to take the risk of hurting himself with the kitchen's tools, so she assisted him in almost all the technical parts, requiring him to use the furnace or knives. A floor higher, in Suzuki's suite, two kids could be seen watching a movie on a giant black beanbag. The two kids are Suzuki and Kiku. Yesterday, Suzuki announced that he was a great fan of Marvel's movie. In this world, the fame of Marvel doesn't seem to be able to go beyond the United-States, which is, really a shame. Kiku who loved to read and discover new things was easily interested in the synopsis narrated by Suzuki. That's why he promised that they would watch all the movies together because it's better to spend time doing something you love with someone than doing it alone. Kiku immediately accepted because she wanted to spend time with one of the few kids that she could call 'a friend'.
You surely are asking yourself why she considers someone she met yesterday as her friend? It could be the fact that the kids who were around her always wanted to avoid her because she looks creepy when her quirk is activated, it could also be the fact that Suzuki seemed quite similar to herself, not showing his emotion, and not interested in socializing with other kids. However, the fact that he invited her to watch a movie which interested her, with him, showed that he already considers her as his friend. He didn't seem like other kids who judged her by the sickliness look of her skin or her preference for books over activities with kids.
"I still don't understand how such a high-quality movie is not famous beyond the United-States." She said, looking at him. The movie that they watched was called 'Captain Marvel', it was a good movie, but Suzuki said, that it is far from being the best.
"I know right? People are too much focused on what is happening with the heroes around them to pay attention to cinematic or literary culture. These good movies are destined to rot, away from their eyes." he said, shaking his head left and right in a disappointed look.
"So Suzuki, you are planning to become a simple surgeon after taking your retirement from the government program? You have a greater goal right?"
"huh? I didn't know that I was so easy to understand. But yes I have a greater goal even though I can't say more for the time being, (readers can see us), and I know for sure that simply being an author isn't your finish line too Kiku-chan, otherwise what use is there to join this program?" He asked back.
"hehe. Yes indeed but like you, I can't say too much. Let's watch another movie, I will love to see what happen next in Marvel's cinematic universe!" Kiku said, ending the conversation.
"Well, let's watch Captain America then."
"Americans are egocentric huh?"
"Yes, they certainly are."

A few days later.
In an office, at the last floor of the tower, two men can be seen talking.
"They have a lot of potential Amane-sama, they can easily achieve the goal in the allotted time." One of the men, who was known as Jotaro said to the other man, who was sitting comfortably on his chair looking at the report in front of him.
"I can see that..." 'like I thought my plan will proceed smoothly and in 10 years they can have the power to contend with the top 10 heroes of Japan, without counting All Might.' Amane said, finally looking at Jotaro.
"How is your wife by the way? I didn't saw her since the previous year."
"She is good, thanks for asking. She wanted to color her ears and tail to match my hair but I prefer her blonde color."
"Hm hm, so I read here that they are currently no conflict between them? That's good, tell Mikita that she is doing a good job."
"Yes, Amane-sama!" Jotaro said, leaving the office quietly.
'Tomorrow will be the first day of their training. I can't wait to see how strong they will become. With them being here, heroes will have a harder time doing whatever they want.' Amane thought while looking at a picture on his phone. "I will avenge you, I swear."
