{a/n: sorry it took awhile I just had a personal problem I had to solve. . . . . so as always don't expect a fixed schedule, I have a very hectic time management}
Izuku is on crunch mode while working on a Hero costume, after what felt like decades Izuku finally stood up and took a huge breath "phew, it's finally done" he sighed in relief "Sage" he called out
"yes master" a woman's voice responded from god knows what direction
"contact the pro hero Mt. Lady, tell her that her suit is fixed, I used a more durable fabric than the last one" Izuku ordered as he brought out a pack of cigarettes and lit one up
"as you wish master" the woman's voice obliged
*bzzt* *bzzt*
Izuku pulled out his phone to discover Akihiro calling him "Yes?"
"Izuku it's me, Arata said that he found this nice 'arcade' if you wanna come we're at the train station right now, we'll be waiting for you" Akihiro promptly hang up. when Izuku gave attention to the word arcade he quickly stood up, he shifts his clothes from a tank top and shorts to a black hoodie and dark blue pants
"Sage lock up the door and initiate sentry mode, I'll be out for a while" Izuku ordered before sneaking out of the building and took off towards the train station
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*yawn* Izuku and the rest of the group yawned in unison
"fuck me, it took longer than expected" Akihiro groaned
"and who's fault was that?" Aiko gazed at Akihiro
"well" Akihiro evaded her gaze
"dude, the whole incident was all over the news!" The group eavesdropped on someone while walking towards the school
"hehe~" Matsuda snickered
"what's so funny" Kiba mumbled
"oh nothing, I just thought that it's so funny" The rest of the group look at Matsuda "It's funny because of Akihiro's 'mistake' that it's all over the place" Matsuda covered her mouth as she restrains her laughter
"Agreed" The entire group all agreed, well except Akihiro who has a deadpan look
"I just accidentally punch Eraserhead square in the face, what's so crazy about that?" Akihiro sigh in annoyance
"everything!" Aiko let out under her breath
"well look on the bright side he was not the real one, it was just an imposter, but man the concrete had a crater" Kiba has a deadpan stare
"not like he wasn't sus from the beginning" Arata mumbled
"but I kinda pity Natani" Matsuda mentioned out of the blue
"yeah, but that doesn't change what he did was right" Arata retorted
"I know, what he did was bad, but he was only doing it because his daughter is in the hospital, hell I know what's it feels like" Matsuda resorted back, the whole group was silent for a minute
"you good?" Akihiro plopped a hand on Matsuda's shoulder
"yeah" Matsuda bobbed
"I . . . . *sigh* how about this I'll pay off his daughter's operation" Arata sigh and shrugged it off, they then proceeded to have a chat as if they didn't hit a sore spot
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
inside a room crammed with paperwork is a man with a brown long coat and a fedora he is searching through a file cabinet "any clue yet" the man was startled dropping all of the paperwork in his hands, he looks up to see a tired man with a white scarf wrap in his neck
"oh, it's you Shota, you startled me" the man flapped his hand as he neatened the room
"Yeah, it's me Naomasa" Aizawa slumped on a chair next to a large desk filled with paperwork's
Naomasa walks towards the desk and sat polar to Aizawa "nope, we still don't understand how those vigilantes appear and escape, let alone know what precisely transpired inside the bank" Naomasa stroked his forehead as he overthinks what the hell occurred inside the bank
"how about the villains?" Aizawa inquire
"Oshirano is still unconscious, Tanda doesn't remember what the hell happened he only told us that someone overwhelmed him and knocked him out cold, Morine won't spill the beans, Yoshi can't communicate because one of the vigilantes punch him so hard in the jaw that he needs some time to recover" Naomasa provided Aizawa five file
Aizawa quivers as he remembers that one of the vigilantes punches Yoshi who was disguised as him so hard it made a crater on the ground "how about Natani?" Aizawa opened the file with the name Natani written into it
"well, he confesses guilt that the zeroes-"
"so you dubbed them 'zeroes' huh. neat" Aizawa interrupted Naomasa when he heard the vigilantes alias
"It wasn't my suggestion it was the higher-ups. as you know they all have a digit 0 in their mask with a distinctive appearance for each. anyways we're getting off-topic as I was saying Natani confessed that the zeroes made him reconsider his life choices"
.
.
.
.
"that's it?" Aizawa implore
"yup" Naomasa bobbed
"*sigh* we still don't have sufficient clues on who these zeroes are, we only know that they emerge when the heroes and police can't handle a situation" Aizawa stood up as he searches through his pockets for his cigarettes only to recall that he already consumed them all
Naomasa also stood up "wanna grab something to eat?" he offered
"Eh sure" Aizawa shrugged
Naomasa suddenly recollected something "oh yeah, don't you have class today?"
"So where do you wanna eat" Aizawa bluntly shifted the subject
"you my friend, *sigh* never change" Naomasa facepalm but played with Aizawa's antiques
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Izuku is blankly staring out the window "Izuku!" he looks back to see a bald man with a long tattoo in the middle of his head
"Yes Mr. Dick" Izuku uttered fluently in English with a sluggish tone
"pfft" Akihiro who was in front of Izuku is keeping his laughter, poorly
Mr. Dick scowled at Akihiro then back to Izuku "Izuku can you flip through the quote on page 69 in your book"
Izuku brought out his book and turn to page 69 "The more you read, the more you learn, the more you know, the more you grow, knowledge is a key to everything" Izuku recited English fluently
"very good, now then Akihiro care to decipher it to us?" Mr. Dick glances at Akihiro who was silent when he heard his name, Akihiro stood up and struggled to recite in English
{later that day}
Akihiro shove his books inside his backpack, when Izuku tap his shoulder "wait, give me a sec" Akihiro took his sweet time to forcefully shove his book in his bag "what?" he glimpses back at Izuku as he held his backpack
"come to my house later" Izuku conversed as he taps his cigarettes inside his pockets
"Woah, you do realize I'm straight right?" Akihiro back off
Izuku facepalm and didn't want to bother to
refute "*sigh* such a shame I was going to give you a barbell that can change weights for free because one of my clients gave it to me as payment"
"ahaha I'm just kidding, don't take it to the hearth" Akihiro chuckled "you'll give it to me right"
.
.
.
"right?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Izuku is inside his room making what looks like gloves and what looks like tubes on top of each knuckle, where suddenly he heard a knock "mom?" he asked
"yes sweetie, Akihiro wants to see you" Inko spoke as she opened the door, Akihiro is behind her, she gave Akihiro a plate of biscuits and left
"sup" Akihiro entered the room and tried to find a place to put down the biscuits "uh, a little help?"
"sage take the biscuits from Akihiro" Izuku muttered, and a small drone came out of nowhere and took the biscuits. "you're finally here" Izuku hid the gloves underneath his workshop
"so, where's the thing you mentioned earlier," Akihiro asks as he looks around the room
"yeah yeah, but first, here" Izuku took out a black helmet
"what's this?" Akihiro asks as he examines the helmet
"I call it, drum roll please. . . . . . neuron electronic realistic variable experience gear" Izuku looks so proud, Akihiro cringe at the long-ass name because all of Izuku's invention has a long-ass name. Izuku noticed it "or NERVE gear, for short"
something clicks inside Akihiro's head "the one from SAO?!"
"correct, after months of hard work it finally paid off" Izuku unfolded his computer "now lie down and we'll test it out"
"hell no, you constantly use me as your lab rat"
"*sigh* do you want the weights or not" Izuku has a deadpan look
.
.
.
.
Akihiro wore the helmet he lay down comfortably as Izuku prepare everything up "ready?"
"just do it" Akihiro just want to get over it
[Akihiro's P.O.V]
as I said it, I abruptly felt drowsy and as I close my eyes I had a mild headache but when I unfolded my eyes once more I only see white everywhere "oi oi oi what's happening?!" I ask loudly
.
.
.
.
a minute has passed and still no answer, as time goes by I get anxious "hello?"
"argh," I clutch my ears because the voice was too loud. . . wait that voice that sounds like Izuku "oi Izuku why didn't you answered back much earlier" I ask angrily
"sorry" I clutch my ears again
"Can you quiet it down my eardrums are gonna explode"
.
.
.
"now?" Izuku's voice is quieter as if he's standing beside me "much better, so what do I do?"
"First let me explain how it works. it uses high-density microwave transceivers capable of accessing the user's brain, allowing it to send fake signals to the five senses of the user. The transceivers are not only capable of inducing fake sensory signals but can also block every movement command from the brain to the body, preventing the player from moving their body while in it to avoid injuries. The transceivers are also capable of blocking sensory information from the body to the brain, thus, while using it, the player is completely insensate to the physical world. . . . . . . . ." too much data can't comprehend.
"can you dumb it down a little"
"in short it's like a VR but you don't have to move your IRL body" Ah so that's how it works
"now then, let's do some test" I hate it when he does that, he always gets carried away with his recent creation

Arata is standing Infront of an enormous building when a man wearing a black suit walks up to him "good morning Mr. President" the man bowed
"ah good morning, so how are the kids?" Arata said as he lent his briefcase to the man
"Good Sir" the man answered back
"So what's our schedule for today," Arata asks, as he's foreseeing his day to be very busy
"hmm you have a meeting 1 hour from now, then some paper works then that will be all for today," the man said while skimming through his phone
"then let's get started," Arata said as he entered the building pursued by the man
*bzzt* *bzzt*
Arata brought out his phone **neuron electronic realistic variable experience gear is working about 40% complete still needs some major tweaking -Izuku**
"Yoshio tell your wife you'll be early today" Arata mumbled his voice was trembling
Yoshio halts then glances at Arata "why sir?"
"I'm in a good mood today so I'll be taking half of your work" you can see the grin on Arata's face 'let's see what 'they' think about this one'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mei is currently in a flat area practicing some shooting range when she unexpectedly got a call "Yello?"
"Hi sweetie how'd you been?" her dad said
"excellent dad I'm practicing for my upcoming tournament," as she said it she aims at a tree with a target attached to it. Numerous target was also attached to it but they all have an arrow in different places but not too far from the middle
"that's my girl just don't overdo it ok? you don't want your dad to be worried right?" you can hear how gentle and loving her dad is
"Yeah dad, just be sure to look at the news as I set a new record" she releases it
"ooh, then I'm getting enthusiastic, how about this when you win I have a surprise for you" the arrow hit the target almost at the center just centimeters short
"anyways dad didn't you have work today?"
"oh crap you're right"
"sigh* jeez you never learn how to manage your time" she hung up and continued to practice in the open field 'Shit I'm centimeter short'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kiba is currently riding a bike with a black box fastened to the rear of it, he pulled out a piece of paper in his shorts "119 120 121. . . ah here" he made a full stop Infront of a large house. he took out what looks like pizza out of the black box and walks towards the front entrance of the house
*ding* *dong*
"Just wait a sec" a voice yelled inside the house
'the customer must be throwing a party with six orders of our biggest pizza' Kiba though
*creek*
the door opens up to reveal a tall woman with tan skin, white hair and she has bunny ears "that was quicker than I thought"
"here's your 6 extra-large pizzas and a jumbo size coke" Kiba handed the pizzas to the woman
"Thanks, I already sent the bill" she went inside the house
Kiba thought that the transaction was finished so he began walking back to his bike
"wait!" he looked back to see the woman carrying cash "here's your tip, I'm impressed with how quickly you got here little man" the woman gave Kiba the cash. but as he mounted his bike
'wait. . . . . wasn't that THE pro hero Mirko?' Kiba looks back "eh oh well" return to his line of work
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aiko is currently lying on her bed holding her phone because Sundays are the only day she can loosen up "Aiko come here for a sec" her mom yelled from downstairs
"Coming mom" she stood up and strolled downstairs to see a bento box
"would you mind bringing your father his lunch" her mom spoke
Aiko shrugged and responded "eh sure"
"I'm really sorry dear I had to make you do something with the small free time you have in hand, I just forgot that there is a massive discount today" Her mom cuddled her "what about this, I'll convince your father about Akihiro"
Aiko began to blush profoundly "MOM!"
her mom snickered "ok ok your father is already a fan of Akihiro anyways" her mom mumbled and runs off immediately. Aiko cried out inside her head
"if that dummy wasn't a musclehead, I mean that's cute too. . . . . .I wonder how masculine his di- *slap*" Aiko swat herself 'calm your self Aiko you need to stop reading too much 18+ stuff, your only 14 for god sake' she thought as she left the house
[1 hour later]
Aiko entered the hospital she moved towards the receptionist "how may I help you madam?" a man sitting contrary to Aiko spoke
"Hi I'm here to give my father his lunch and to also visit my aunt," Aiko informed the man
"and their names are?" the man asked as he unlocked his computer
"my father is Doctor Isa Tanaka"
the man halted for a second ", oh your Tanaka's daughter Aiki wasn't it? almost didn't recognize you he's at room 5-G"
"oh, ok thanks and my aunt's room is still the same?"
"Mrs. Todoroki is in a different room we moved her, you'll find her in 6-I"
"Thanks" Aiko runs off 'first of let's give dad his lunch'
*knock*
Aiko knock on a door with a sign written 5-G "coming" a man's voice called out the door opened revealing a short man "Ah Aiko, let me call Isa. Isa! your daughter is here so quit slaking" on the background things started to falling over
a hand pushed the man out of the way and a man with similar hair color to Aiko emerge "Hi snowflakes what brings you to papa"
"mom ask me to bring you your lunch" Aiko handed the box
"oh thanks snowflakes, just in time I'm hungry wanna eat with papa"
"But you just ate" the man earlier mumbled
"don't mind him let's eat, you know what they say eating with your loved one can make the food even tastier" Isa shut the door and leads Aiko to the rooftop
as they opened the door to the rooftop they saw a boy the same age as Aiko he has red hair on one side and white on the other Isa immediately recognized the boy "oh shoto didn't expect you up here, I thought you already left"
Shoto looks back "hi uncle," he said in an exhausted voice
"I'm here too" Aiko waved her hand
"Sorry didn't notice you cousin" Shoto look towards Aiko
"come on don't be like that to your one and only cousin Shoto" Aiko smiled as she offered shoto the lunch box "just like papa said the more people the more the food becomes tastier"
"I have somewhere to go" Shoto declined the offer and start walking away
"oh no you don't," Isa announced as he waves his hand, as a hand made out of ice appear from the ground and lift shoto "when my daughter wishes for something as her papa I have to oblige"
Shoto grumble but didn't say anything as he sat there silently as Aiko took out a blanket out of her small purse
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[sometimes have passed]
inside a dojo Akihiro, Izuku, Matsuda, Aiko, and Arata are circling Akihiro's grandpa
Akihiro leaps forward towards his grandpa "HA!!"
*bang!* *crash*
his grandpa redirected Akihiro making him crashing into a wall "COME!" his grandpa shouted
"damn, Akihiro is a monster in terms of brute strength alone and Imarata Sensei easily redirected him?!" a man wearing a Gi whispered to the person he is next too
"Sure is. occasionally when I look at them I just can't believe that they are all still students with those kinds of strength" the man answered back. as Akihiro stood up as if nothing happened
"ha!" Kiba swings his bokken at Imarata only to be dodged, Imarata leaped forward towards him so he swings his bokken once more but what he didn't expect was Imarata took a full stop making his swing an inch too short. Imarata leaps forward once more using his palm to knockback Kiba. as Kiba flew back Arata jumps in with a flying kick. . . . .
[20 minutes later]
the group are currently lying on the ground catching their breath "Akihiro don't just focus on your opponent look at your surroundings everything around you can be your weapon" Imarata instructed as he stares towards Akihiro
he averted his gaze to Izuku "Izuku works on your stamina and don't throw attacks everywhere it'll cost too much stamina, only attack when needed" Izuku nodded
he moves his gaze to Matsuda "Matsuda don't rely too much on your bow, if your opponent came close to you you're already dead, learn some close quarters but there's a high chance of it never happening but it's never 0, so it's good to be prepared than never"
"yes" Matsuda took the guidance to the hearth
"Arata make your moves less flashy and don't hesitate in the middle of a fight, time is precious when fighting"
"Aiko don't be too predictable I can clearly see what you're going to do even if my eyes are closed"
"Kiba work on recognizing a feint to a real attack just one misstep can cost your life. class dismissed" Imarata shouted as the next batch of pupils stood Infront of him
"*sigh* gramps can you not dislocate my arm every god. damn. time. it hurts like hell," Akihiro declared as he fixes his arm
"It is like working out Akihiro. you have to exhaust yourself so the next time you do it. it will hurt less" Imarata shouted as he redirected a kick
"you have a point, but still. . ." Akihiro tried to argue but couldn't
"so who wanna go grab something to eat," Arata said as they changed their clothes
"sure" "ok" "eh why not" "as long as it's your treat" "k~" they all left the dojo to grab something to eat
[McRonald's]
"I hope all of us is in the same class," Mei announced as she picked up a piece of fries and eat it
"I sure hope. so I can have my 'wall' again" Izuku drank his large coke
"Oh hell no I ain't doing it again," Akihiro shook his head
"aww, why not. you just had to sit Infront of me so I can sleep without getting caught" Izuku explained with puppy eyes
"*bleugh* it does not suit you so fucking stop it" Akihiro pretended to puke
"But wait aren't you going to support course?" Aiko spoke
"oh you're right?!" Akihiro hit his forehead and put together a smug look towards Izuku
"anyways wanna hang out in my house," Arata said as he finished eating
"sure" "hell yeah" "ok~" "eh" "sure why not"
