CHAPTER START---
Standing on the roof of Central Hospital, pacing back and forth under the moonlight Horizon was reading the datapad he's been using to select patients, carefully scrolling through the list and adding notes to everyone he thinks can be useful.
All while having a phone conversation in his visor.
"---It really is that simple," Horizon says. "I give you some training then we go from there."
"Well when you say it like that anything sounds simple," Sero says. "But don't I have to wait for the exam next year?"
"Nah, Nezu told me he's making some changes but the plan to have you guys take the September exams hasn't changed. When the second half of the training camp starts you'll be training with me instead of the teachers, we'll get a lot more work done that way."
Sero is silent for a while before finding his words, "you really are serious about this huh?"
"Obviously, building a team is the easiest way for a Hero to show leadership, but if I'm gonna put my name on you then you better not embarrass me...I'll make you acceptable for my standards, then you'll crush the exam, easy."
"Huh, that makes sense," Sero thinks about it for a moment. "But wouldn't it make you look even better to have a full team?"
"Ugh, let's just see how it goes with you first, and just between us, I don't think a lot of people in our class are worth training..."
"Dude, everyone knows you think that, it's not a secret."
"Whatever, just promise me you'll commit to the training, alright?"Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com
"Of course!" Sero says. "I get my license, get onto your profile in a few pictures, then get seen by everyone and they all want to hire me to work in their agencies, that's everything I need!"
"Knew you'd be perfect for this," Horizon gives a light chuckle.
"Yeah, so I guess I'll talk to you later, I've gotta get some sleep for later."
"Your date with Kodai huh," Horizon says in a mischievous tone.
"Huh, how'd you know about that, ruined my big reveal," Sero whines.
"I was talking to Momo yesterday and she mentioned it...seriously, one day after the commission stops locking you in your house with cops outside and you're already going out with her, nice."
Sero laughs nervously, "yeah well...with how the camp went, all the people that didn't make it, we decided not to waste any more time."
"Good, life is too short for that," Horizon says.
"Yeah, so are you and Mo---" Sero is cut off as Horizon hangs up, not bothering to waste his time on that topic.
Horizon shakes his head, happy for his classmate, but is in no rush to join him.
"1 AM, I should get some sleep," he mutters.
SHAMBLES
He swaps with the card he left in Yagi's hospital room. He sees his hoverboard leaning up against the side of the wall along with his sword, but as he looks over to Yagi, he sees him awake, laying in bed staring up at the ceiling.
His eyes flicker to the heart monitor, seeing everything stable, then back to his patient.
"You awake?" Horizon asked, speaking very slowly. "What do you remember?"
Yagi's eyes flick over to him before looking back at the ceiling, "after I beat him, I raised my fist to the sky...and everything went black."
Horizon gives a sigh of relief and then makes his way over to his chair, sitting beside Yagi's bed. "That's good, that means you remember pretty much everything. They found you standing just like that, completely unconscious..."
Horizon reaches out and rests a hand on Yagi's side, giving him a full scan to see nothing outside the scope of expectations.
"So sensei, Gran Torino...he's really...he's gone?" Yagi asked in a broken and tired voice.
As he's messaging Nezu, Horizon tunes out Yagi's whining as best he can, until he's addressed directly.
"Horizon," Yagi says in a desperate and hoarse voice, looking at his doctor through blurry eyes.
Horizon sighs loudly and turns to Yagi, seeing the absolutely broken Hero, a broken man, and gives him no sympathy, "yeah?"
"I need your help, to make things right with my master."
"The dead lady? What are you even talking about? You know I can't resurrect people right?"
"Tomura Shigaraki...Tenko Shimura, can you help me with him?"
"If you think I'm the kind of person to talk to villains about feelings...you've got the wrong guy."
"I know that," Yagi says. "But the sooner he's captured the better, that's all I want. I don't want my master's legacy to be the pain he's out there causing, at least no more than it already is..."
'He should be asking Deku to do this shit since he's his successor,' Horizon thinks. 'But I guess it makes sense to ask me if he wants actual results...'
"So you want me to go out of my way to deal with the League Of Villains to capture their leader?"
"When Shigaraki is in Tartarus, then maybe I can talk to him about why my master had to make the sacrifices she made. Let him know about all the people she saved," Yagi says.
"Good luck with that," Horizon says. "But I'm still just operating in Tokyo, and the league has been spotted all over Japan."
"Hurting people, and you're one of the most equipped to stop them," Yagi says. "After all the boasting Nezu's done about you, I'm sure you could do it."
"Sounds like you want to open a contract, is that it?" Horizon asks, smelling blood in the water.
"Huh, what? But you'd be helping people, is that not enough?" Yagi asks.
He was genuinely surprised that simply saving people wouldn't be enough motivation for who is most likely the future Symbol Of Peace.
"The league of villains isn't in my plans, at least not in terms of going out of my way to hunt them down."
'I see, he simply doesn't want to deviate from his plan,' Yagi thinks. 'But if Nezu brought him into UA he must have the desire to be a hero, to save and protect people...his interview with Chitose proved as much. Maybe he just needs more time to be open about his desire to help people...'
"Alright," Yagi says. "What will it cost?"
"An endorsement," Horizon says. "My hero career is off to a great start, but if it's revealed that All Might, the great and powerful Symbol Of Peace, had me treating him for a year before I even entered UA, well...that would help out a lot."
"You want me to tell people about my injury and about you treating it when we met?"
"They already somewhat know about it since All For One called me your doctor and mentioned it, you'd just be confirming it."
Yagi goes silent for a while, considering the pros and cons of this. He'd spent so long hiding his weakened state from the world, but now the secret was already out.
It was nothing to reveal what people already know in a chance to set the record straight for Nana and Shigaraki, right?
"Alright," Yagi says. "But the entire League Of Villains: Vanguard Action Squad, as well as Shigaraki and Kurogiri."
Yagi actually forces his right hand to move so he can extend the bandaged limb for a weak handshake, unable to even close his fingers.
Horizon nods and touches his hand, he intended to lock them all up before going Pro anyway. It would secure his spot in at least the top 5 upon getting a full license.
Horizon touches his hand then pushes it back down, "put your hand down before you break something, and yeah, I'll have it done before I graduate," he says while Yagi thankfully puts his hand down.
"That's a lot faster than I thought, can you really find them all that quickly?"
"It'll be difficult with Kurogiri in the mix, but I need to find Shigaraki before that long at the very least..."
"Why is that?" Yagi asks.
"Because you want to talk to him, and honestly, even with the schedule and diet I'll have you on, I doubt you'll live much past my graduation..."
