CHAPTER START---

"So, what's all of this about?" Horizon asks as he walks into the observation area with the now-healed Sero and Shinso.

All of 1A was now gathered, along with Mirio Togata, Nejire Hado, and Tamaki Amajiki.

Tamaki was standing off to the side trying to make himself as invisible as possible, Mirio and Kirishima were having a small chat, and---

"HORIZON!" Nejire rushes up to him and gives him a hug as he approaches them. "It's been so long. You didn't respond to my texts. And my calls didn't connect. Is your phone broken? Ryukyu says she talks to you so maybe it's mine. Have you gotten any stronger since the raid? Ooh, are you gonna fight Mirio too?! You're both pretty strong so you might actually have to try! Oh, I bet you'll get along great with him! Wha---"

"Hado!" Eraser interrupts her volley of questions.

"Right, sorry sir," Nejire bows and stands beside Mirio.

Glancing at the students, Mirio immediately stands out. Taller than most, bright smile even as Kirishima talks his ear off, seems genuinely interested in the conversation. And bright blonde hair.

Off in the corner, he sees Amajiki, with dark hair and what he assumed is a gloomy expression, since he couldn't see his face. Amajiki was currently facing a blank wall.

'Potentially the second most powerful Quirk in UA...and he's got fucking stage fright,' Horizon just shakes his head and walks up to Eraser.

"You said we'd have this place all afternoon, what's this all about?"

"Mirio decided the best way to give them a glimpse of what a Work Studies students is like...is to fight."

"Ok, but why here, you know we're training here."

"Training," Eraser glances over to Sero and Shinso, now healed but still covered in bits of blood. They were off talking to some of the other students right now. "Right, well I figured since you're always interested in seeing new Quirks, getting hands-on experience with the Big Three would be appealing to you."

This gets everyone's attention, and Mirio joins the little discussion.

"I think that's a great idea!" he says. "I'd love to see what UA prize student can do. Everyone in your class is super talented but you're something else...oh, I'm Mirio Togata by the way, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"I know," Horizon turns back to Eraser. "I don't have any interest in fighting people weaker than me, it's a waste of time, but watching should be amusing atleast."

"Don't mind him guys!" Nejire jumps in while Mirio and Amajiki were trying to interpret the cold greeting. "He's always all grumpy when you first meet him, but he's really nice when you get to know him, I promise!"

"Uh, right," Mirio nods awkwardly, "well, it was a pleasure to meet you either way. Alright everyone, let's head into the sparring area!"

As everyone gets into position, only a few people remain by the observation window.

Horizon, Eraser Head, Tamakai, Nejire, Sero, Shinso and those who failed to get a provisional license.

Looking down the line he sees Bakugo fuming, but eyes wide to take in everything he can from this demonstration.

Beside him, Shoto was observing with a blank expression.

Shoji and Ojiro were doing the same, while Nejire and Jiro were chatting quietly about something with Mina.

"So how do you think this'll go?" Horizon asks Eraser, and everyone gets quiet to listen in.

"And you're still confident you can easily deal with them?" Eraser asks, seeing the last of his students easily being knocked out.

"Wouldn't even need my sword, my hands are more than enough."

"Ooooh, that's pretty cool," Nejire says before she starts giggling. "Then why don't we go down there, since it looks like Mirio is done already."

"It only took him three minutes to take them all down," Horizon says as he sees Mirio picking his classmates back up. "Not bad, alright, I'm in, let's go play..."

---5 Minutes later.

"Do I really have to be here?" Amajiki asks, hands in his pockets and shoes off as he stands in the combat area. To his right is Mirio, and beside Mirio is Nejire.

"C'mon Amajiki, it'll be fun," Mirio says. Besides, haven't you been curious about the hotshot first year too?"

"No."

"Oh don't be such a baby," Nejire says as she begins flying, releasing small spirals of energy from her feet so she hovers just a meter above the ground. "Think of this as us teaching the other students what fighting at the top of UA looks like."

"I just don't like having an audience," Tamaki glances at the observation deck where everyone was watching intently, then across the room where Horizon was standing alone. "And he seems kinda mean..."

"I'm telling you he's a softie inside."

"You're just saying that because he healed Ryuky---"

"---Mind humoring me for a moment Mirio?" Horizon asks from across the room.

"Huh, sure, what do you need?" Mirio asks.

SHAMBLES!

Horizon warps his sword into his hand. "I'm pretty sure Amputate should work when you're permeable, but since I'm not using my sword in the fight, can you let me check before we start."

"Oh, sure, I always wondered what that feels like," Mirio raises an arm to his side and makes it permeable, and his sleeve immediately falls through it.

With one vertical slash from across the room, the outstretched arm is cut off, painlessly without damage, and begins falling to the floor.

"Wow!" Mirio reaches out and catches it. "It's a good thing I can still control how my Quirk works in this part, otherwise it could have just kept falling forever," he laughs while wiggling the fingers on the severed limb. "This is super freaky."

"Can you please put that back already," Tamaki looks like he's about to lose his lunch from just looking at it.

"Awe, don't want me to give you a hand?"

"..."

"Awe c'mon that one was funny!" Mirio whines before easily reattaching the limb.

"No, it wasn't," Eraser says through the speaker. "Now can you please get this over with so I can get back to teaching my class..."

"Yeah, call it Eraser," Horizon tosses his sword back over his shoulder, and it just hovers above the ground. He puts one foot forward and prepares to launch a low punch. "I'll try not to break any of you."

"Alright, begin!"
