CHAPTER START---

SHAMBLES!

On a suspiciously empty highway leading into Musutafu, Horizon appears, still sitting on his chair.

Mindjack stands beside him, looking around clearly confused.

"What are we doing here?" he asks Horizon, seeing his classmate leaning back in his chair.

SHAMBLES!

Horizon warps a few feet to the side, placing himself in his seat toward the side of the road, leaving Mindjack standing in the middle lane of this three-lane highway.

"You plan to explain anything?"

"High-speed chase incoming," Horizon says as he points up the road. "They'll be here in less than a minute, try not to fuck it up."

"What is this, a tryout?"

"Pretty much, can't keep any dead weight around."

"Great," Mindjack sighs. "Put a guy with a vocal Brainwashing Quirk, to stop a high-speed chase."

Horizon takes out his phone, getting a message from Sero who just woke up.

"Your Quirk wore off, after almost 9 minutes, not bad," Horizon says.

"Told you, I've improved a lot."

"Uh-huh, now show me some more in-field practical applications," they hear and see the cars approaching, one car being chased by two police cars.

"How close are the cop cars to the villains?" Mindjack asks.

"100 Meters -330ft-."

"Then they should stop before this bothers them," Mindjack reaches for the pouch behind his back, resting over the sheathe for the Tanto behind his waist. Exactly like Eraser Head's.

He takes out a handful of razor-sharp Caltrops and prepares to throw them.

"Caltrops? Classic...very classic, but effective."

"Why fix what's worked for thousands of years," Mindjack shrugs.

Seconds later the car comes racing down the highway, directly at Mindjack.

He raises a palm toward the car while holding Caltrops in the other.

"Stop the car and get out!" he yells, hoping one of them responds.

Instead of responding the one person in the car only speeds up, intending to run over the hero.

The man was so distracted that only at the last moment did he look to the side, seeing Horizon sitting on his classroom chair, casually watching this unfold.

The man's head turns to watch Horizon do nothing as he sped into where Mindjack stood.

But by the time he got there, Mindjack already dove out of the way, dropping Caltrops where he stood moments earlier.

POP!

The front tires are blown out causing the man's face to snap back to the front of the car.

"There, he won't be going anywhere, now, Simon, let's go..."

"It's Mindjack."

"Well, Mindjack is a stupid name, and it isn't catchy. You need something catchy and thematic, but also a bit tough and marketable."

"I'll think about it," Mindjack says as he sees Horizon sit back in his chair.

He walks up to Horizon who casually puts a hand on his arm.

"Have a good day gentlemen, and stay safe," he says to the cops. "Shambles."

Arriving back in the now full classroom, all eyes fall on Horizon and Mindjack.

SHAMBLES!

Shinso's Hero Costume is swapped with his uniform once again, and he gives Horizon an annoyed glance.

"Well, how'd I do?"

"It's a start," Horizon says. "We've got some work to do but yeah, I can make it work."

Shinso actually gives a small smile at that, nods, then walks to his seat on the other side of the room.

"What was that about?" Tokoyami looks to his left at Horizon.

"There was a car chase, and he went to stop it, that's all."

"But you went with him..." Momo speaks up from behind him. "Was it that bad?"

"I was just checking in on his progress, I did help him train during the Summer Camp after all."

"Well I guess that makes sense," Jiro, who was standing behind him at Momo's desk says. "Anyway, we were discussing what Mr. Aizawa probably has in store for us today, since its the first day and all."

"I'd think it's something extreme," Momo says. "Consider our first day at UA included the Quirk Apprehension Test, maybe another such test to mark our progress."

There was an excited spark in the classroom at that suggestion, most of the class wants to see how far they'd come since those 5 long months have passed.

As they all begin muttering Sero spins around in his seat, "what was that about earlier?"

"I'll explain during lunch, but we might have a new guest in the tower," Horizon says quietly.

Sero's eyes widen for a moment, then return to normal, "happened a lot sooner than I expected."

"Yeah, me too..."

After a few more seconds, Horizon sees Kirishima about to get up and start yelling in excitement and decides to cut this short.

"Shut up!" he silences the room. "Eraser and All Might aren't even here right now so we probably won't have anything like that until they're back, sit down and get ready for homeroom."

"Awe," Mina puts her head down in disappointment. "I was hoping to start this semester with fun, not boring classwork!"

"You need the book time more than anyone else Pinky."

"Well, I'm still hyped up!" Kirishima stands up and yells. "Today we learn more about the Work Studies and the Pros we'll be working for, it's gonna be awesome!"

The entire room begins clamoring, making theories, and sharing the heroes they hope they can work with.

A few minutes later the door slides open, and Midnight walks in with her hands behind her head, showing off her body for the students to see.

"Good morning my lovely darling students!" she gives them a dazzling smile, "and Horizon..."

"Tch, morning saggy..."

And the entire room falls silent, as if they could see the petty and vicious lightning sparking between Midnight and Horizon.
