*******************
Kazuho and lissa walked out of the mall, carrying shopping bags in their hands.
"This was fun!" Kazuho exclaid. "It feels like it's been ages since I bought sothing for myself."
People kept secretly glancing at the patch on her left eye.
There were even those who stared at sothing else, too…
Kazuho was wearing a blue top over black jeans. With her pink hair out, she looked nothing short of a model. The patch on her eye didn't embellish her beauty at all, instead giving her a mysterious, curious aura.
It wasn't just the random passersby who noticed that, but lissa, too.
lissa was many years younger than Kazuho, both in age and experience. However, after becoming a Beyonder, she had realized she shared one crucial thing with Kazuho — a smothered ambition before it was revived by Dr. Blessed.
That realization had brought the two Apostles even closer.
After they had secretly planted the leader in his bedroom that night, lissa hadn't returned to the Headquarters with Mushroom-nimi, choosing to stay on the mainland for the ti being instead.
First, there was too much upheaval in the country.
Without the leader guiding them with Mr. Fool's help, they couldn't figure out what Conformity and Singularity were up to.
In such a case, for one of them to remain alone at the Headquarters, where all the stolen Nomus were, seed counterproductive.
Not to ntion, no matter how roundabout a way Mushroom-nimi went back to the island, there were chances of soone finding out.
At first, they had a clear plan to return to the Headquarters using the Leader's teleportation Quirk.
But then he went insane…
lissa smiled away the nervousness of that night, finally sensing the eyes on her, too.
The eighteen-year-old Seer was wearing a yellow crop top over denim shorts, her blond hair sprawled openly on her shoulders.
As they walked among the crowd, the two beauties looked breathtaking, to say the least.
"It's weird…" lissa pointed out. "After digesting most of my Potion that night, I have beco overly aware of my surroundings."
Kazuho nodded. "I know the feeling…" she replied. "It can be a little overwhelming. Our Spirituality automatically triggers when soone is observing us. But you can control… No. Mmm… teach your Spirituality to ignore so of the harmless ones through cogitation. I think, other than letting a Beyonder access Spirit Vision earlier, the best ability the Seer Pathway has to offer is the Danger Intuition, especially for us girls."
lissa smiled, feeling blessed that she had Kazuho to guide her.
However, she didn't agree with the older Apostle on the Danger Intuition being the best ability of a Seer's because she was enjoying Divination even more.
With the Seer Potion enhancing her mory, combined with the Spirit Pendulum Divination, lissa was finding it much easier to pursue her engineering studies, research, and experints.
"Is the rate of Spirituality Dampening the sa for Sequence 8 as it is in Sequence 9?" lissa asked.
Kazuho's lips twitched.
That's what you get with two scientists in the group, she thought inwardly.
Spirituality Dampening was a term lissa had coined for the process of Beyonders losing their abilities with ti. To regain their abilities, they needed to pray to Mr. Fool and get another Potion from the leader to reignite the Corruption within.
Or, it was so at least until they digested that particular Sequence's Potion thoroughly.
"It depends on how much, and how fast, you consu your Spirituality," Kazuho tried to explain. She didn't think she had beco nearly the expert in this matter to teach lissa. Mr. Iwao was a much better teacher when it ca to managing Spirituality. "If you don't use it at all, then it's a touch slower… but not too much."
lissa nodded in understanding. "So, basically, as we progress, we get better at holding onto our Spirituality. Got it."
Kazuho's lips twitched again.
Not clearing the misunderstanding, and enjoying the big sister energy instead, Kazuho began humming a tune.
"You seem in a good mood," lissa pointed out, smiling. "To be honest, I thought…"
Kazuho had already told her about her past with Skycrawler, Captain Celebrity's Sidekick. But, as he had already left a few days ago, along with that walking disaster nad Alexander Becking, lissa hadn't wanted to bring the topic up.
A gentle, silly smile surfaced on Kazuho's face, with a blush. "It's… alright. We will et again… I am sure of it."
lissa raised her eyebrows, unwillingly reading Kazuho's emotions.
In the next mont, her entire face reddened as a heavy blush took over her cheeks, too.
Kazuho put a finger on her lips, smiling aningfully. "Let's keep it between ourselves, yeah?"
lissa nodded several tis, her face only reddening even more.
Suddenly, a large screen, running the entire length of a multi-storied building, caught her attention, taking her mind off the adult things.
The screen showed two All Mights, one young and the other old, standing with their backs against each other.
They still haven't figured out what exactly happened that night.
It was clear that their leader had helped All Might secure a win over All For One, but… how?
There were many questions that lissa wanted the answers to.
Questions like… Was leader's young age related to All Might's brief younger appearance? A Quirk-related experint gone wrong perhaps? That would explain Dr. Blessed's imnse knowledge, but it would also raise even more questions.
There was one question whose answer she already knew, though. Almost.
"Has All Might…" lissa asked, her blue eyes gaining a glint. "… truly lost his Quirk?"
Kazuho, who was also eyeing the giant screen, nodded. "It's possible…" she said, before her eyes widened. "Wait! you are not suggesting…"
lissa and Kazuho's eyes matched, but both left the words bubbling in their minds unsaid, their hearts beating loudly in their chests.
"The Villains are still out there," lissa said as they began walking again after a while. "We would need help…"
Kazuho kept quiet for so ti.
Without the leader with them, she dared not discuss such a sensitive topic.
Then, letting out a sigh, Kazuho smiled. "Let's work on ourselves, first," she said. "We all have already secured enough Credits. It's just a matter of ti before the leader cos back and helps us advance to the next Sequence."
Smiling broadly at that, lissa nodded. "Umu. Ice cream?"
"Didn't know you could misdirect thoughts, too?" Kazuho joked, sharing a chuckle with her fellow Apostle.
anwhile, at the Saionji Mansion, a CRACK deafened ears —
— a bolt of lightning landing right on top of Luke's head!
