《Learn The Lesson (BNHA x AC)》23: Day 4: Kaede's lecture
Advertisement
After signaling the Okuda and Takebayashi, they both work together to take away the poison in the hero team's body. While Kaede and Isogai is working at the background, they manage to get Shoto to the museum and put them to the hospital.
Kaede went inside and saw Momo wasn't responding.
"Momo-san..." Kaede keep on calling Momo and after and hour of calling here, Momo started to cry. She told Kaede how she feel, she was terrified, and she felt down. She saw herself as the most useless team again, downgrading herself just like when they are first year.
"Momo-san, your beautiful and smart, but... You let your ego hinder you, because of this, you can't reach your full potential. You stop from working hard, you stop from your belief before that you'll be a good hero, you become full of yourself that you forgot the reason why you are here in the first place..." Kaede said. Momo started to stop from crying.
She was thinking... Yeah, Kaede was right. She become full of herself and forgot her own goals.
"There was this one class... They are studying from one of the prestigious Junior school in Japan. But because of their attitude, weak quirk or even villainous quirk, they are cast away as the last section using them as an example to the other that if they don't work hard, they'll be like them. This class was always suppress, they don't have the same privilege as those who's in main campus, they are thrown to isolated part, having the oldest classroom at the top of the mountain that had already been worn out the time," Kaede said. She hugs Momo and stroking her hair as Momo listen to Kaede.
"One day, a weird teacher came and teach this class a lot of lesson, they made them strong, proud of themselves, skillful, and help them in every way they could to grow. But being suppress for long time, they thought its time for them to show off, they do this... Not in good way, they jump rooftop to rooftop that day and one of their classmate accidentally land to someone resulting for that someone to be hospitalize. Their teacher who teach them to be strong felt disappointed to them. He thought he could trust them to use the skills he taught humbly. So as punishment, these class wasn't allow to study for their upcoming med terms and help that someone they got landed," Kaede continue. Momo can't help but to feel the same to these class. She doesn't know why.
"That someone is actually an owner of cram school, they teach those kids that don't like to be in school, by just arriving at the school, they found out how bad the situation is. Most of the kids who's studying there experience some sort of bullying, either their quirk, their grade, their appearance, or just their entire existence. These class realize how lucky they are and decided to help. They Renovate the school and help the old man who do the teaching to that cram school almost for free..." Kaede said and smile fondly.

"Experiencing those, makes that class remember to become humble always because there are people who suffering other than them, they become grateful to their teacher that he was teaching them all of that," Kaede said and smile.
"What happen to that class now?" Momo ask curiously, her brain is thinking as she listen to Kaede.
"All of them was working in underground and other heroes without taking credits. Although some of them wasn't as active as others, these class already earn some good reputation among the heroes. They are already an equivalent to a license pro hero but still remain in the dark," Kaede said and grin.
"Girl, being a hero wasn't about medias, fame and popularity but giving hopes, saving lives, and making this place better. They got involve a lot in villain rehabilitation because they all believe that some villains deserve second chance. Our world wasn't painted in black and white where all heroes are kind and righteous while villains are all evil and malicious. Some of the villain was pushed to the edge, some don't have a choice but to become one," Kaede said and smile. Momo look at her and smile too.
"Thank you... You made me feel okay, I... Feel ashame to myself..." She murmur.
"Come on, you're not that bad, you are all just guided to the wrong path. Correcting your path will not be easy but if you persevere, I know you can do it," Kaede said and grin.
"What makes them different to us?" Momo ask quietly.
"Hmmm... Lets see, this is a real story okay?" Kaede said and Momo nodded.
"There was a girl she was in her thirties, I recognize her facial features, her brother was a "villain". This criminal which have a mutant quirk at makes his skin like a grass only rob a rich girl for some quick money. Aside from the people don't hire him as their employees, his mother was sick and needed to be hospitalize, the two siblings work to get money but its hard to find job because they are mutant so they are both devastated when her brother was judge to much higher punishment than his crime. One day, in the same grocery as I was, the girl was im lane of paying in the one and only cashier, when a guy who have a pretty good emitter quirk tried to rob the cashier. This woman immediately dash and mobilize the "villain"," Kaede said. She look at Momo and saw that Momo is actually interested to her stories.
"The security went to intervene, but instead of mobilizing the "villain" they pointed their gun to the girl and let the robber goes if I didn't intervene. Now why did they pointed the gun towards the girl when she was the one who mobilize the "villain"?" Kaede ask. Momo took time to analyze, her mind is wondering why...
"Because she is a villain's sister?" Momo ask.
"Wrong! But with your reasoning, its like your saying because the girl was a villain's sibling they share the same crime together. Its like saying that the Prime Minister's siblings is also a Prime Minister because they shared blood!" Kaede said. Momo look embarrassed as Kaede look sadly to Momo.

"The gun was pointed to her because she was a mutant. Thats the correct answer!" Kaede said.
"Thats stupid!" Momo said and frown.
"And your reason wasn't?" Kaede ask. Momo blush in embarrassment.
"Another example, All For One is one of the terrifying villain right?" Momo nodded.
"AFO had two sons, one was adopted and other are his biological son. two of them wanted to become a hero, one had a decay quirk and the other had the enhance version of of his father's quirk. The one with decay quirk accidentally kill his family, his skin deteriorate after scratching his face making his face look terrifying. All he wanted was to become a hero or a hero to save him. But nobody likes him so he become a villain. The other one was afraid to his quirk, he never use it and grow up in prejudice of being quirkless, he was bullied by his peer and his suppose to he protector. He grows up insecure to himself. And got involve to a project of the military. Their mission is to kill the rising number one hero... In the end, both of them become a killer," Kaede said as she look to Momo.
"Why did they choose those path than continuing their initial path they wanted to walk?" Kaede said. Momo didn't reply immediately.
She analyse the situation slowly, not knowing her original self is slowly coming back.
"Because they had no choice since no one give them a chance..." Momo whisper.
"One had villainois quirk and heroes don't bother to save him. Resulting for AFO to take him in and cultivate him as Shigaraki Tomura, the other one also had no choice because its a government's order," Momo added. Kaede smile and nodded.
"Why you keep on emphasizing the word villain?" Momo ask. Talking to Kaede, she was slowly gaining back her observational skills. Not letting anything to her head anymore, she will fight the villain as proud hero who save people not as a hero in disguise that she initially act as. She felt ashame and disgusted to herself. Why did she allow herself to become like that? She let herself be someone she couldn't recognize anymore.
"Because the word villain is such a strong word. Villains are those who don't have care when hurting people, loves destruction, and only kill people for fun. The only person who deserve to be called villain is those who do evil deeds without care, and capable of doing large crime. I prefer to call those who have small crime as criminals... They just those people who broke the law," Kaede said. Momo indeed see the difference of criminal and villain.
Momo felt refresh for the first time. She looks pump up as she smile to Kaede.
"I'll fight the other team with all I can now. Without underestimating them, without overestimating my ability. I know from our situation, its almost impossible to win, without us knowing the villains identity while them have the information against us, I say its a huge disadvantage. But..." Momo smile without any arrogance.
"Even if I know we already lose, I will not lose without fighting!" Momo declare. Kaede smirk, she complete her goal. She was sure that now Momo is back on her track, the game will become more interesting. Momo knew, just looking their situation is already grave enough. She was sure that they fall for the villains scheme already. She will analyze the full situation later after gettung incharge.
"I messed up the Korotan's presentation. I was really stupid back then. Now the fastest way we could lessen the broken reputation of us, heroes is to increase the objective we are doing. Any objective that could be done needed to be done in the fastest way. We need to work hard to shift the public's opinion which would definitely hard. A lot of our members are already inactive and I still don't know how many of us was already kill. One step at the time and try to deduct the other parties plan and movement," Momo's eyes is full of determination. She was snapped when a knock on her door was heard.
"Hello, Creati-san?" The nurse meekly said. Momo observe the knewly arrive nurse, she have a black with purplish tint hair. She look shy and nervous, and had a glasses.
"I just want to inform you both that the other heroes are now safe, you can all discharge after an hour. Aside from Fire Freeze-san, he was still unconcious..." Okuda meekly said. Momo smile and thank Okuda which shock her a bit but accepted.
"What happen to Todoroki-san?" Momo ask.
"Uhm... He was delivered here by Chief Isogai and Ak- I mean, Kayano-san," Okuda said. Momo frown and look to Kaede, giving a suspicious look.
"Was she...?" Momo ask in herself. Kaede still look calm as she smile.
"Manami-chan! I told you, you can call me Akari!" Kaede said and wink. Okuda blush as Kaede laugh.
"Momo-san, let me introduce you, my girlfriend, Manami Okuda. She was currently nurse here," Kaede explain. With this, Momo immediately dismiss her suspicion, Its not rare that someone let their lover be called by different name. I mean, sometimes she call Jirou Setsuko (melody) so she didn't think to much.
"Hello, Okuda-san..." Okuda just gave her a kind smile. Underneath it was a relief that Kaede manage to react immediately. She felt embarrassed to even act lovey dovey with Kaede.
"Uhm.. Fire Freeze-san is stable and didn't have any serious injuries, he can be dicharge after he woke up," Okuda said.
Momo nodded and change her clothes after saying she can also be discharge. Its time to see her team mate, this time, she'll fight seriously.

The Shadow That Preludes Death (The Favoured)
Magic and fantastical beasts run wild on the countless worlds of the Fabric. Deities take an active interest in the Fabric. The Favoured, immortal mages of immense power vie for territory and power in the Fabric. Umbra a naive ward of the Duke is almost Grown and that means she will need to take an apprenticeship. The issue is she isn't good at anything, but she catches the eye of a master of magic, he thinks she might be one of the fabled Protectors the ones that would save them from the coming destruction. But Umbra isn't the hero everyone wants her to be. Updates will at least one chapter every two days. Notable Location Poliagoras. Poliagoras is the most important world in the Fabric partly due to it being the centre of everything both literally and metaphorically. Trade, commerce, travel, and politics are all conducted primarily on Poliagoras, it has the biggest city in the fabric stretching to cover almost the entire world. It also holds all the known Great portals in the Fabric which are the only way to travel to other worlds. Even without these things, Poliagoras would still be the most important world in the Fabric as it is home to the largest population of Favoured. They were mages chosen by the Deities and given the potential to become more than mortal. I cannot overstate how appreciated constructive criticism is. This is the first story I have written of my own volition so even a small comment on how I could improve would be great. The current title is most definitely a working one. I know it isn't great.

The Wu Clan's Rise: Legends of the twin dragons
The Immortal Domain is a vast cosmos consisting of the Upper Realm and the Lower Realms, both of which are controlled by the Three Great Families, the Wang family, the Lui family, and the Xue family. Each one of them holds an immense amount of power that could overturn the heavens, reverse yin and yang and change the fate of anyone or anything in the Immortal Domain as they see fit. But, with all of that being said, our story doesn't start from those ancient overpowered families in the Upper Realm, it starts from one of the countless fragmented Lower Realms, called the Wither Daemon Realm, in which there was a planet named Daiyu. On this planet, heavenly prodigies that were born with one of the thirty, rare Legendary Physiques were starting to pop up like common weeds. Longwei, born into the Wu Clan while in possession of the third rank Legendary Physique, was known as one of the six monster-level geniuses on planet Daiyu. His brother Longmin on the other hand, though was a genius in his own right, had faded into obscurity since his birth and was shunned by his own father after a certain ‘incident’. This story is the supposed legends of two dragons, who, through a journey of bloodshed and betrayal led their clan to unify the Immortal Domain and stand above trillions as the highest existence. ******* If you lovely readers can't be bothered to use your eyes, you can join my Patreon and get to stream my audio chapters like everyone else. https://www.patreon.com/TSETH Discord: https://discord.gg/tEdkhmrj5g

Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.
