The Rising of the Shield Hero of Peace

Epilogue: An Unexpected Surprise

Not for long, though, as Yagi and the other six explained what they have been through. How they met, the betrayal of Melromarc, the cardinal weapons, Raphtalia, the waves of calamity, and most importantly, the fight with the priest's creation. Everyone was either amazed or even more confused when they heard Yagi's story, but something in particular caught their attention. The cardinal weapons.

"So the so-called cardinal weapons count as quirks?" Kaminari asked.

"I guess so, but ever since we got here, we didn't have them. Usually, they are always stuck to our hands." Itsuki said.

"Yeah, and it's not like we can just summon them by saying: Summon Spear! Or something-" Motoyasu said, before stopping to reveal that his spear had materialized on his right hand. "Nevermind, there it is."

Both Itsuki and Ren did the same thing, each naming their respective weapons. They tried to un-summoning them and it worked as well.

"Well, ain't this convenient?" Itsuki said.

"Yeah, now that we can un-summon our weapons, we don't have to sleep with metal constantly clanking while we unconsciously move." Ren said, getting a few small laughs out of the class.

"If we're going to let them into UA, they will have to prove themselves." Aizawa said.

"We will do what's necessary to get into this school, bring it!" Itsuki said, worrying the students that knew how ruthless Aizawa can be.

Yagi and the big three of class 1-A weren't worried, they knew the others could make it. Well, alive, that is.

Two years later...

Itsuki and Deku were in a room, preparing for a special event.

"Can you believe it, Izuku? It almost feels like just a few days ago that we joined the hero course and became pro heroes together." Itsuki said, reminiscing back to those days.

"Yeah, it was eventful, wasn't it?" Deku said.

"It sure was. And now, we're graduating! Motoyasu even got you and Ochaco to confess to each other." Itsuki said, making Deku blush and look away.

"Yo, what are you two talking about?" Motoyasu said, who was with Bakugo, taking a seat. "Because judging by Izuku's tomato face, he's thinking about his girlfriend. You're welcome, by the way."

"Motoyasu!" Deku yelled in embarrassment.

"Need to cool down, Midoriya?" Todoroki asked, who had just entered the room with Ren, who held a platter of flavored snow cones.

"Yeah, that would be nice." Deku said, grabbing a green apple snow cone.

"You sound nervous, Midoriya. Is everything alright?" Ren asked, with a blueberry snow cone.

"Yeah, I'm just a little worried. What if I mess it up?" Deku said.

"C'mon dude, you've fought some dangerous villains and monsters three years ago. This is a walk in the park!" Motoyasu said, still eating his cherry snow cone, cheering up Deku.

"What ponatail said, nerd. There is nothing to worry about." Bakugo said.

"Motoyasu's right, this is nothing compared to what we've faced before. We can do this!" Itsuki said, biting down on his lime snow cone.

"I agree, you'll easily push through like you always do." Todoroki said, grabbing his half-cherry half-ice snow cone.

"Hah! Half and half's snow cone matches his hair!" Bakugou said, with an orange snow cone.

"It's not my fault, Motoyasu was the one who used the majority of the cherry syrup." Todoroki said, staring daggers at Motoyasu.

"I said I was sorry, okay!" Motoyasu said, trying not to get an iceberg to the face.

After everyone had finished eating their snow cones, they headed to where the graduation ceremony would be taking place.

"And now, we'll be naming the heroes that have earned their place in the top 10 spots of pro heroes." Hizashi said.

"Deku! Dynamight! Shoto! Bullseye! Blade! Striker!"

More students' hero names were said. After they were finished, everyone received their official hero licenses. Everybody celebrated by using their quirks without destroying anything. The six main heroes left the building shortly after the event was over, heading to a specific location. They arrived at Deku's house, where they found Inko and Yagi drinking tea together.

"Izuku!" Inko called, dashing at her son as she cried tears of joy.

"Mom! We finally graduated!" Deku said, hugging her mother while crying as well.

"Ah, good evening Ms. Midoriya, good evening Sensei." Itsuki said, bowing down.

"Good evening, students. Or should I say, heroes." Yagi said.

Everyone was happy to hear that their teacher, the number one hero no longer saw them as pupils, but as proper heroes on their own path to greatness, just like he said they would be.

"I am very well aware that you had your party earlier, but you still have some of the day left. What do you say we make a celebration on our own, just us eight!" Yagi offered, smiling.

The six heroes shouted a collective "YEAH" and got to spend a great time together on Dagobah Beach. The six teen heroes sat together in the sand, staring out into the ocean.

"Here's to our future life as pro heroes and best friends! Cheers!" Motoyasu exclaimed, lifting up his drink.

"Cheers!" Said the other five, clinking their drinks before chugging down.

Yagi gazed at them from a distance. He couldn't have asked for anything better than this. His eyes glimmered with happiness. He knew that these seven would become the new symbols of peace, not just in his world, but in another as well.
