After a final check to make sure everything functioned as it should, Nine, Slice, Chimera, Mummy, Pearl, Lust and myself boarded the ship as it flew towards Wolframs last known location.
As we set off I got another ticket from the Gacha.

I silently tucked that away as I waved to Sasha far below.

Nezu's ears perked up as Aizawa entered his office. It seems Shota was in another one of his moods today.
"If you are here to protest his leaving, you're too late." Nezu said as Aizawa plopped onto a seat across the desk. "I know that."
"I just don't like the idea of a students rushing after AFO, or Tomura. Whatever he goes by now." Aizawa huffed as Nezu nodded, not looking up from his work.
"I understand it may be hard, but Micah is technically a licensed hero. He's also proven more than once he has the power to stop AFO, along with any allies he may drag into this fight."
"Whatever happened to those German terrorists?" Aizawa asked thinking of Eren and his friends currently at lunch. "They got away."
"After they'd been handed over to the HPSC to transport to a secure location, they were able to briefly use their quirks to destroy the convoy before escaping. Several heroes were also killed.. Captain Levi and Hange-San have been working with Sir Nighteye and the police to find them as soon as possible."
Nezu forwarded a file of the four villains to Aizawa's secure phone as he moved onto the next thing he had to do. "Any luck with the mole?"
"A bit, but not much." Aizawa admitted.
"I've tried doing a few things to see if he would pick up on them, so he's either not aware he's being used, or Micah was wrong and AFO said that to throw us off." Nezu hummed as he thought for a moment.
"Continue observation on Aoyama. I'll reach out to my contacts to learn what I can about his parents." Nezu then remembered something that Micah had told him and added. "Start watching those who were close to Micah as well, just in case."

"Come on class, you can do it!" Midnight cheered as class 1-A ran like their lives depended on it. They kind of did.
After the last fight against the League, the realized just how weak their bodies were.
Sure, they were all decently strong and could throw around decent weight in the gym, but that still didn't help them much when the villains were close enough to use melee weapons, like on Nabu.
To fix this, Kirishima had put forward a new training regiment, one from a certain anime he liked.
"Dude, this is hell. Why would we ever do this?!" Kaminari whined as Jiro tried to stab him for complaining, only to drop her jacks tiredly.
"We gotta catch us guys! We can't keep holding Micah back!" Kirishima exclaimed as he briefly drank water before starting to run once more. What was this new training regiment that had everyone suffering?
100 Push-ups
100 Sit-ups
100 Squats
10 Kilometer run
Every. Single. Day.
Though they'd been at it for two weeks now, everyone still suffered like it was day one. Kirishima and the other physically oriented students fared just as well as the others. Despite their more physical bodies, the high intensity of it all made them all even suffering wise.
Of course, there were always outliers.
Sasha, Alarielle and Mikasa breezed through the workout everyday. Eren, Armin, Shoto and Bakugo weren't far behind, but still were noticeably tired and less loud. Not that anyone was complaining about Bakugo being quieter.
Despite all their aches and complaining they still did it. Despite all the progress they'd made since they started school, they still felt they were falling behind Micah. His near superhuman feats of strength had lit a blazing fire under them.
With Kirishima and Ida being the most vocal, the entire class had thrown themselves into the training like never before. They'd already started seeing some results, but the tiredness was starting to weigh on them.
To remedy that, Midnight had begun, encouraging them, we'll say.
Not like that obviously, but with an audience like Midnight and Mt. Lady, it was easy to see why the male students tried so much harder, and why the female students rose to match the 'old hags'.
They also did more mundane things to keep them going, such as cooking meals together in the dorms and having game and movie nights. The Christmas party had even been their only day off, with Micah coming to visit for longer than usual.
Even other classes had taken notice of 1-A's new workout. Since they did so as a class and used school facilities, sometimes students from other classes and grade levels would come watch them, and join on occasion, though none lasted.
Except Mirio and Nerije of course.
Though they struggled at first, they quickly adapted to the workout and did their best to drag the rest of the class with them, and Tamaki.
All of this meant that they were getting along great as a class, and as a group. Despite Bakugo and Ida clashing occasionally, things had really calmed down, and heated up.
Micah and Sasha were obviously the first couple, in more ways that one. (Jiro and Alarielle still had nightmares of the night after the Christmas party)
Mina and Kirishima had been the next two to make things official. Mina of course asked since Kirishima is denser than his quirk and couldn't take a hint to save his life. She'd nearly screamed at him before he realized she was asking him out.
Toru and Ojiro had also had things official, but were much more private compared to the other two couples since they hadn't been dating very long.
Other than the three official couples, others were also starting to find people they got along with a bit too well.
Jiro and Kaminari were still dancing around their feelings, as were Ochaco and Izuku. The real surprises were Bakugo and Shoto.
Nejire had obviously remembered she'd never gotten answers from Shoto, so she followed him any chance she got so they she could get said answers. This freaked Shoto out so badly that he didn't speak, making Nejire follow him even more.
She's been persistent however and had slowly grown on Shoto, and they had been seen hanging out more and having actual conversations rather than Nejire's one sided ramblings. Time would tell what happened there.
Bakugo however was less sweet. With him and Monoma constantly fighting, Kendo was constantly getting between them. Sometimes she was dragging Monoma away, other times she was yelling in Bakugos face for whatever he said.
This led to Monoma starting more fights because Bakugo was 'going after the class sweetheart' and Bakugo insulted him and Kendo, leading her to smacking him several times, then hitting Monoma for laughing.
Once she apologized to Bakugo, eh surprised her by doing the same, and they'd begun talking at lunch over various topics after that, much to Monomas chagrin. His every attempt to drive them apart just seemed to make them closer, tearing at his mind piece by piece.
Sero and the other guys of 1-A had been a little bummed at first seeing every one get together, but had quickly realized the didn't have anyone to answer to other than themselves.(And Aizawa)
So they'd started going out as a group of guys and leaving the others behind. Not often, but enough to grow closer as friends to where Ida had slowly become less of a square.
They did worry about Micah as a class however. With such a strong pilar of their group gone, they had feelings of emptiness and worried about him constantly. (Usually just Momo)
Sasha always sated their worries however, usually when Micha came to visit her. Though she always seemed to know where he was and that he was safe, something that made them happy.
Micah had been very busy for months now.
After the first tip of Wolframs reappearance, he'd chased him through several countries and across most of the world. While not catching Wolfram, he'd discovered several half baked plots in the dark and dealt with them.
One was from a U.S villain wanting to kill Star and Stripe. Another was about some quirkist snobs wanting to kill mutants and other undesirables. He'd even clashed with the Titans again when following Wolfram through Germany.
Despite all the travelling, he'd gotten no tickets. When asking the Gacha, it stayed silents for once. That should have told him something was wrong, but he'd been so busy chasing Wolfram worrying about AFO targeting Sasha that he'd nearly been blown out of the sky over California.
His investigation led him to Night City, where the various corpo factions had been pooling their resources to make a weapon that could kill either All Might or Star. Since he was passing by, they tested it on him.
Other than nearly knocking him out of the sky, all they'd done was annoy Micah, who proceeded to level all of Pacifica and tear down most of the Corpo towers in the City Center. They wisely left him alone after that.
That had been a massive detour however, which gave Wolfram a massive leap ahead of him. The only silver lining was that Wolfram seemed to be heading back to Japan, where in Japan he had no idea, but at least he'd be on his home turf for once.
