While the monolithic gears of the world were finally shedding it's rusted exterior to finally start turning once again after ages of waiting assuring that a new dawn was on the horizon no one knew whether it would be a omen of the grim time to come or that of a new golden age only time will tell.
Even then on the island of Japan smaller and yet still relevant gears of fate were rotating and opening the doors of a story that was reaching a new element to it.
"You know Bakugo boi you are extremely lucky that you didn't get her serious" Julius was currently talking to bakugo as he had just told him about his encounter with Touko Aozaki.
" Seriously who was that woman and how do you know her?" Bakugo was feeling a bit unnerved after his encounter with the woman as he had never encountered anything like that because he was extremely sure that was no quirk that she used.
" You don't need to know much for now all you need to know is that her name is Touko Aozaki and she is an extremely dangerous person" simply stated Julius as he looked at him with a serious expression.
Seeing how serious Julius was he stopped asking and looked forward where Deku was testing out the new equipment that Beru made it was unique.
Midoriya was testing out Beru's new grappling equipment by shooting the grappling hook and trying to climb the gym from the outside.
" Beru the hook shooting mechanism of the hook is good but the pull is ....."
" Don't worry about it it's just a prototype with a simple mechanism the real product will be great!!!!"
" Can't wait"
The two continued to have their enthusiastic talk about their gears and how to improve it watching this bakugo couldn't help but feel a little envious.
As he looked at his hands and thought of his life he was once again reminded of the fact that ever since Deku he has never had any true friends mainly because he was disgusted by most of them.
But he quickly got rid of that thought as he got up to go train his body all the while Julius was watching as he knew what he was thinking.
But he can't exactly blame him finding a true friend in this world of quirks was hard especially for those who were born with brilliant quirks for that is what all people see in them just the quirks not the person.
Another flaw in this era of superheroes a person's identity is tied more to their quirk then anything else a person with a strong quirk is praised while someone with a weak quirk is ignored and the quirkless are treated less then human.
And someone like Bakugo who had been praised all his life was surrounded by those who only saw his quirk and not the person themselves and the only true friend he had was midoriya but that's a whole nother problem but this was a problem he had to solve himself.
And so while they were all doing their own things with Julius giving them a few advices here and there the door of the gym opened.
"Oh hey there midoriya san" hearing this All of the gym members looked towards the door and they were surprised but all for different reasons.
"Oh where's my manners hey everyone I'm here by the recommendation of my sister my name is Aoko Aozaki!!!" As she declared herself with a smirk the others looked with shock.
For midoriya it was the prospect of once again meeting the first girl he had a proper conversation with the thought that maybe they could be good friends just like him and beru.
Beru on the other hand was surprised midoriya the Izuku midoriya the shy and timid goofball was acquaintance with a beautiful girl like her was surprising but not unwelcomed as that just meant more people to talk with and share his gear ideas with.
Though Bakugo and julius reacted a lot more differently mostly at the aspect of the name Aozaki.
Bakugo was curious about her as he wondered if she was anyway related to Touko Aozaki and if she was he wanted to have a good old nice guy talk.
Julius on the other hand was absolutely livid as he was sure this girl was that woman's sister as well as the current heir to the Aozaki family though judging by the rumours she had apparently ditched her family with the help of her family.
As for why she is still able to move around so openly is well because of her sister's notorioty as well as the fact that her family wasn't in a good spot due to some complications that which he wasn't familiar with.
"Aozaki san it's good to see you again"midoriya greeted her with a handshake and a smile with her doing the same.
"Yah it's good to see you again as well midoriya kun" she was happy to see a familiar face in a place her sister recommended which was a bit of a surprise for her though her sister was never really much into messing with her.
" Oh by the way let me introduce you to my friend Beru " as he introduces Beru who just nods while still holding his grappler.
"Oh hey there Beru kun " she greets him with a small smile as he puts her hand forward for a handshake.
"Likewise"replied Beru as he shakes her hand and take a step back as he makes space for Julius.
"So what's one of the Aozaki sisters doing here in my gym" he asked as he looks at her with a calm expression but internally he was a bit worried.
"I just came here due to my sister's recommendations as she said that this the best place to train myself" she replies without any hesitation and without a single ounch of falsehood.
Seeing that she was being truthful he decided to simply nod and thought 'as long she doesn't cause any trouble there shouldn't be any problem '.
"Alright then so you wanna join the gym?"
"Sure this place looks interesting and my sister wouldn't just randomly give out recommendations just like that anyway"
"Yah your right she doesn't"
"Hmmmn? Do you know my sister ?"
"Yah we're old business partners"
"Ok... anyway where do I sign?"
And so the event went past just like that with Bakugo simply watching her while the other dou speaking with her and Julius simply registering her name on the members list.
Just then the door once again opened for the second time in one day which was a first as the trio of Bakugo, Beru and Midoriya were the only people who visited for years now.
The ones who entered the gym were a boy with red hair and a toothy grin with a red tshirt and casual shorts with a rather muscular build similar to Midoriya and Bakugo but more focused for power.
The other a girl with pink skin and yellow antenna like horns with an exited smile wearing a white tshirt and baggy green pants .
" Wow this place is a lot more bigger than the others with less people kirishima kun" said the pink skinned girl to her partner who now named kirishima.
" Oh look at that man he looks so manly let's join this place to prepare for the entrance exam ashido san" kirishima said with a lot of enthusiasm.
Looking at the dou the only thing that came to mind of the others was .....
" Huh?!!!!"
