"Long time no see Katsuki, seems like you forgot what happened last time, you even became cockier in my absence. As your big cousin, I must teach you some things."
"Suzuki!"
"Mh?" Turning around, Suzuki looked at Katsu, which seems displeased.
"We don't have time to kick his ass, the program must be respected Suzuki, it must be respected!" Katsu said, a slight madness in his eyes.
"If you say so... look like you got lucky Katsuki, next time you try to do something like that I will kick your ass so bad that even aunt won't recognize you." Suzuki said, rising from his crouching position.
"In a few months, you will try to join Yuei, with this attitude of yours you will immediately be labeled as a future villain. You have to behave more maturely, otherwise, you won't achieve anything, let alone equal me."
"We lost enough time with kids here! Let's go!" Katsu said, dragging Suzuki by his arm.
"..." After they left, Katsuki was left on the ground, speechless. What just happened was beyond his comprehension, his cousin which he always considered as his only equal had left him in the dust, he didn't even fight seriously, he just put an end to the fight before it has begun. The last time they sparred, he could somewhat contend against Suzuki on an equal foot, but after few years without seeing each other, he thought that he could beat him and show him that he was superior to him. That he was worthy of being the pro hero n°1, but without beating him, how could he still dream of that title? That's why he decided to be stronger, of training so hard that he won't even have to use his quirk to beat him.
Katsuki didn't understand that his dream of being n°1 has gradually begun to be overshadowed by his will of surpassing Suzuki.

"Let's have fun today guys!" Katsu said excitedly, looking at the map where several amusement park rides were encircled by a red marker.
While they were walking towards a rollercoaster, Genta asked a question.
"Katsu, it is your first time in an amusement park?"
"Yeah, I didn't have the chance to go during the holidays, and well I was way too immersed in the training to think about something else."
"I see... you are lucky since we have the fast pass, we won't be queuing for half the day, queuing is the worst in amusement parks." Suzuki said, looking around at the various food and drink stands.
"Say did we have time to eat and test the various stands? I would love to try to win something for my girls." Suzuki continued.
"Yeah for sure, I also want to win something for 'her'." Katsu said, his cheeks a little red.

Some times later, the trio is seen eating at a table while chatting about random things.
"So guys, what do you think about the protection of the Yaoyorozu family? Will it benefit us?" Genta asked, cutting the thick steak with the knife he was holding, quite smoothly. Either the sharpness of this knife was high, either Genta's strength was leagues above the common folk.
"I find it a little annoying, but since they are targeted by a powerful group which is also on our radar, I think that they are good baits, if we annihilate them, there will be no need for us to continue being their bodyguards." The boy with blue hair said, animosity in his words.
"Indeed, but working for them is good too since they have a lot of influence and money, they have power on par with a branch of the government. If we can make them indebted to us, it will be quite good." Suzuki added.
"Yes, I think too. Besides, it will be a great loss for our country, since the Yaoyorozu not only have influence inside Japan but also outside." Genta said, finishing his plate.
A few minutes after, they left the restaurant and resumed their visit to the park.
"Ok guys, this is the last activity we have to do. I present to you 'The Crazy Mansion'." Katsu said, opening his arms towards the building specially decorated to resemble a ruined mansion.
"That looks frightening, are you sure you want to do that? We can redo the rollercoaster instead." Genta proposed, looking at the mansion, a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Heh? Don't tell me that a tall guy like you, fear little sound effects and fake ghosts? I bet that Kiku's ghosts are scarier." Katsu said, pulling onto Genta's arms.
"Hm?" Suddenly, Suzuki felt a bloodthirst directed at him, immediately turning to look at where he sensed it.
'Nothing? That's strange...' He thought, his eyes wandering around him.
"Suzuki? What are you doing? It's our turn don't tell me you are afraid as well?"
"No, I just felt an unusual thing, nothing much, let's go." He said, following the two of them inside.
'They didn't felt that? Then I am ready the intended target, let's see what this mysterious person try to do'
-*-*-*-*-*-*-
The inside of the mansion was pitch dark, not even a speck of light could be seen in this darkness, it was as if it was a thick mist, wrapping and swallowing everything.
"Hey, guys you are still here?" The voice of Katsu was heard, but they couldn't localize his position.
"I don't want to break the fun guys, but I think that somebody might attack us, this darkness seems to be the product of a quirk, even our voices are distorted. Plus I felt a bloodthirst directed at me earlier, I didn't warn you before, because there was a possibility of them not doing anything, but they chose to profit of the element of surprise and make a move. I fell numerous presences moving at high speed around us, they seem well trained." Suzuki said, waiting to see what is the next move of the enemy, he didn't want to use his quirk to early.
"These bastards! They are ruining the fun!" Katsu yelled, narrowly dodging a kunai aimed at his head.
'It was close this time!' Katsu thought, surprised by the speed of the weapon.
"Okay! [Candy Guard]" Genta said, candy raising from a circular area until the ceiling, blocking him of all kind of danger.
'That's was Genta's quirk, I will gather us, then think about the strategy. [Room], [Shambles]' Suzuki thought, making Katsu and himself switch place with two small candy placed on the ground, in front of Genta, and inside his safe zone.
"Well, guys... it's fun, isn't it?" Katsu said, looking at them with a big smile on his face.
