After the USJ Incident, school was canceled the following day.
Though it was still a little tough to relax.
Izumi spent her time at Count's as he heard of the incident.
"Something tells me we have not heard the last of those two. Kurogiri and Tomura Shigaraki.......it's strange." Izumi said petting a rabbit.
"Why is that?" Count asked.
"Well, the attack in total. For a group with such careful planning, the villians had no idea about our quirks and they had no real training. Yet they followed Shigaraki as if he was a leader so easily.......but why does he want to kill All Might so much? It makes no sense. Plus, when he bragged about Nomu, he addressed him as a pet. He basically has the personality of a manchild. One with a fearsome power though.... And i cant help but wonder........could he have a hand in the attack? I mean a villian would not suddenly decide to attack someone like All Might overnight." Izumi said.
".........I would console your cards in divination." Count suggested.
With his help, Izumi got:
Dark, Dream, Float, and Libra.
"Hm. It seems there we are going into unknown territory with these villians.
Dark and Float is saying that there is more to these villians than we think,
Dream stands for fate, meaning something is intended for this Shigaraki,
Libra is a warning, that something is obstructing Shigaraki's perspective." Count said with a serious poker face.
Izumi frowned. If Count was right, someone else was really behind the attack, and Shigaraki may just be a pawn.....

That night.......
Izumi also got permission to stay with Count for the night for her safety.
As Izumi slept, she found herself in a strange landscape.
They looked like ruins of a mansion overgrown with vegetation.
Izumi looked around as she saw she was in a long flowy white dress.
She found herself at a pond as she gazed out at the scenery as she soon heard someone.
"The hell? What kind of dream is this?" A familiar voice said.
'That voice...!'
She turned to see.......
Shigaraki!
"Eh?...........Hey! You're the little Summoner! Why am I dreaming of you here?" He scratched his neck.
"I would ask you the same thing."
Izumi had to be careful. Even though this was a dream.........
Shigaraki had his hood up so she couldn't see his face,
But all of a sudden......
He moved at a fast pace and slammed Izumi into a tree which strangely, didn't decay.
Now that he was closer, she could see his face.
While there were patches of eczema around his eyes and lips, he was pale skinned, and had a beauty mark at his left on his chin. His eyes were a crimson red, redder than Katsuki's, reminding her of a Demon. She also had to restrain wrinkling her nose as the smell of dust, sweat, mothballs, and strangely peppermint hit her.
She also noted that some eczema patches were on his slender neck. He had a disintegration quirk, could his eczema be a side effect?
His scratching won't help either. Could it be dehydration he has too?
Maybe his Quirk works by dehydrating things so quickly that they crumble apart through some sort of hyper-rapid osmosis. His body possibly produces more amounts of salt than the average person, then concentrates it in your fingertips to essentially soak up all the water in the object. Meaning he possibly suffers from a water deficit, though he also has some natural resistance to dehydration to make up for it. But still, The skin thing is the real problem though, because skin cells itch when they die and start to peel off like a sunburn, especially on the areas where the veins are close to the surface like the arms and neck and around the eyes.
"Girl you are word vomiting."
Ahk! She didn't even realize it!
Then she saw his expression that looked as if he found interesting information on an enemy.
But before she could say anything........
Everything faded and she woke up.
"Ah......it all seemed too real........" but Izuka had no time to think on that. School was starting up again today.
--------------
At class, Izumi sat with Kero and Suppi sitting at her desk waiting for the start of the day.........
"Everyone! Morning Homeroom is about to begin! To your seats!” Iida shouts standing at where Aizawa-Sensei usually sits.
“But your the only one standing,” Jirou had a deadpanned face on as Idia went to his chair with a frustrated face.
Suddenly, the door opens revealing Aizawa-Sensei coming in wrapped up like a mummy.
"Aizawa-Sensei!"
"Sensei, should you even be up?"
"Nows not the time to be concerned about my wellbeing. You should know your fight isn’t over,”
Everyone stills at that. Was it another villian attack?!
“U.A.’s Sports Festival is coming up.”
"Hey! Don't give us a scare like that!" Kero yelled.
“Sir are you sure that it's ok to do the Sports Festival? I mean we were just attacked the other day." Jirou pointed out.
"It’s necessary to demonstrate that U.A’s crisis management protocols are sound. That’s what the Hero Commission told us. But compared to past years, there will be five times the police and hero Presence. Our Sports Festival is one of Japan’s biggest events! Long ago before Quirks, the Olympics was the world’s Sports Festival and every country would be whipped into a frenzy over them. But as some of you know, that tradition has shrunk in scale to a shell of its former self..and as far as Japan is concerned. What’s taken the place of the Olympics is the U.A. Sports Festival."
"What makes this different from a normal Festival?" Suppi asked.
"It's not only a chance to show off potential as a hero, you get a chance to get scouted." Momo said.
"They’ll be looking to hire us as Sidekicks after we graduate. That’s how it's done,” Kamnari said with a grin. “And a lot of those Sidekicks never manage to go solo. They’re Sidekicks forever.”
“That’ll be you Kamnari,” Jirou laughs making Kamnari growl at her.
"Naturally you’ll gain valuable experience and popularity if you are picked by a Big-Named Hero. But your time is limited, but that's not all.” he glares at them making them silent again.
"The difference is that this year.........the alumni of CLAMP Academy will be attending the event."
CLAMP ACADEMY?!?!?!
"As you know, CLAMP Academy has an even lower acceptance rate than U.A’s. But they accept students of all statuses and they have grades from preschool to University level. They are offering chances for students not only to be scouted by them, but to have a chance to transfer to their University level if you are interested. And as long as you keep up your grades, everything on their campus is free." Aizawa said.
This got the students even more pumped up. Being scouted by a legendary school like CLAMP is a once in a lifetime opportunity and they produced an impressive number of alumni and heroes too.
“Show the pros and the people of CLAMP Academy what you’re made of here, and you’ll make futures of yourselves.
"Yes sir!
-----------
Whoo!
Bet you did not see this coming!
Midterms are slowing down for me, but I'll be more free by next week until May.
I bet you can guess how the students feel about being accepted into CLAMP. Especially Bakugou
Plz comment!
