“You sure it’s fine for me to come here?”
“Creepy, I’ve told you a bunch of times,” Jiro told him, rolling her eyes as she moved behind him and started pushing him. “Come on, will you? There’s nothing to be worried about.”
“I mean, you said your parents know,” he mumbled, dragging his feet forward at the slowest of paces. “That’s something to worry about.”
“They don’t care, Endo,” the girl told him, this tim...

“And this-” Joshua said, pausing for a moment to cover his mouth and yawn. “-is a simple way to connect wards between each other so that Draining Wards can power others. One could say that a Draining Ward together with another one, whichever, could be considered one of the simplest ward arrays one can cast.

“Fucking hell,” Mineta cursed with a groan, looking to the world like he had met his homework nemesis as he stared at the sheets of paper in front of him. The poor boy held his head, his eyes desperately darting around as if that would somehow help him find an answer to his questions. “Why don’t I find this shit anywhere?”
“Language, and what is it you are missing, Mineta?” Yaoyorozu asked, not even looking up from her own things on one si...

Follow Your Heart and Nothing Else
Joshua had been upgrading, re-setting and generally going over the defenses of Kuoh for a while already. After all, part of his life was there now with Jeanne and Asia going to school there and him having his cafe in the town. So, much like he did with his own home and the Hunter’s House, he kept the defenses as good as he could make them. A bigger place stretched thing...

“This is the most adorable thing in the world!” Hagakure exclaimed, seemingly pulling his newly developed beowolf puppy into a hug. “You have to have one of these around at all times, I demand it.”
“And so it shall be done,” Kazuki commented blandly, even as he wore a smile on his face. It was nice to see one of his creations being met with positive emotions. Sure, his grimm could be helpful at times and such, but they were...

My Mind’s Got Its Own Plan Tonight
Joshua looked, head slightly tilted, as the spar went on.
Margalo had perched herself on his shoulder, while Cheshire stood next to him in her cat form. Nagini and Morag watched from further away, since they were too big to really stand close by without getting in the way of a stray attack or something. Besides, the bird was there more because she wanted to be clo...

“Group’s getting big, huh?” Kazuki mumbled, looking around as he arrived at the training facilities after he was done with Hound Dog. Sure enough, the group he’d been usually meeting and training with was growing by the day, it seemed. Off to one side, Jiro, Kirishima and Ashido were doing some weight training. On another part, Yaoyorozu and Mineta were working together with Yanagi. As for Hagakure, she… Kazuki didn’t know where she was, but he’...

Faith Is Moving Without Knowing
“No offense, but you being here is kind of worrying,” Joshua commented, receiving an elbow to his side courtesy of Jeanne and making Cheshire sigh. In front of him, Griselda’s eye twitched and Xenovia and Irina looked at him like he was a confusing, disturbing and insulting sight. Those were some reactions to get, but he could kind of understand.

As Kazuki walked to school after the day off they had after the USJ incident and the weekend, he tried to push what had happened to the side. He ignored the pain in his chest whenever he breathed too deeply. He paid no heed to the memories of his last loss of control. He just wanted to get on with things.
Kazuki knew, after all, that none of it could be solved right away. His wounds would finish healing soon enough. As for his actions, those would be mo...

“Are you ready?” Joshua asked as they reached their destination. “Didn’t forget anything, right?”
“We have everything and yes, I’m ready, Mr.-” He fixed Asia with a hard stare. “Joshua,” she mumbled, a slight smile on her face. That was more like it. He’d put up with it for a while but… Well, it felt weird to still be called that after so long.

“You were a reckless idiot.”
“I was,” Kazuki admitted with a sad smile.
“You let your Quirk take over again, deliberately sabotaging yourself, if your recount of events is to be believed.”
“I did,” he agreed, looking forward but slightly down. He didn’t have the courage to meet the person’s eyes, as it was. He’d messed up and he knew it. This was just… adding salt to the injury, really.

When a Part Felt Too Hopeless
Joshua sat outside of his house, looking towards the backyard as Rias’ peerage trained against his familiars and the Fallen trio. The latter group was much less cohesive than the former, but that was expected, all things considered. They were still putting up a decent fight, to the point where the spar was just about even.
It was actually a little surprising, consideri...

Pain was a very prominent thing in his mind at that moment.
Above that, however, was the concern for his students. He’d charged in, attacking the villains as he was used to. Diving into a situation with little information and the weaker hand was a familiar situation for him, much as he hated that. It was a necessary thing for his line of work, after all.
Everyone knew what heroes could do and not even underg...

Throughout most of his life, his stance in regards to his Quirk had been very solid. Fire was bad and Ice was good. Fire would burn and destroy anything and everything. Ice, on the other hand, was safe, for the most part. He was determined to prove that to the world and rub it on his father’s face that his fire was good for absolutely nothing, just like him.
And yet, there he stood.

The conclusion she had arrived at was that Mt. Moon was awful. Mainly because caves were awful, really. There was so little space to fly in that Narcissa felt like she was in a cage. Somewhat like being in a pokeball, but not nearly as comfortable. At least in the devices, it felt fine to just stay still. In the caves, she wanted to move, but was keenly aware that any movement could, and likely would, end u...
