"I'm leaving daddy!" Lena said as she hugged her father.

"Have a good one sweetie!" Winston hugged her back and gently stroked her hair.

After that Lena left the house and headed towards the bus stop.

Winston who watched his daughter leave, couldn't help but look at her with a smile, she had grown up a lot in the last few years and in the last few days she had come out of her shell to be more sociable with others....

After a moment of contemplating his daughter's growth, he went back to the kitchen to prepare himself something to eat, it seems that the usual breakfast wasn't enough to satiate him.

Ring~ Ring~ Ring~ Ring~

Suddenly his phone started ringing, which meant someone was calling him, checking to see who it was he couldn't help but smile.

DAVID SHIELD CALLING

Taking the call with a smile on his face Winston spoke "Hello David, how have you been?"

"Hey Winston, I've been great thanks...although I'd like to talk to you, I have things to do so I'll get straight to the point, I need your help on two projects" David's voice answered through the phone.

"On two projects? We already talked about working on one project, but not two... may I know why this sudden change?" asked Winston confused, David had spoken to Winston some time ago that he needed his help for a specific project but David said it was too dangerous to talk about it over the phone line, Winston could only assume it was a revolutionary invention or something that in the wrong hands could be something very dangerous.

"Well, it was a bit out of the blue but in exchange for a favor from me, a renowned medical researcher provided me with a lot of data from her research... what happened was that she called in the favor of a scientific collaboration between her, me and you..." Explained David, Winston could imagine him scratching his head and with a nervous smile on his face.

"*Haa* you know I would normally say no, but I owe you a lot for helping Lena so I'm in... but tell me what this project is about" Winston sighed as he rubbed his tip with a sour face, he didn't want to get involved in scientific research anymore as he was retired, even the US government agreed to let him off their grid as long as he would tell them all his data from his research, which Winston obviously gave them without much trouble, although he hid the Slipstream and his daughter's particularity.

"The project, which she calls ARCANGEL, is basically a medical project, we will try to create a type of energy that will allow the evolution of regenerative cells in the body, essentially a medicine that will regenerate a human being's body to a state of optimal functioning" David explained accurately and recalling the little data he had been given about the project.

"That... sounds ambitious but I don't think there's anything wrong with that, although just from what you've told me I can already see several problems with it, but what project doesn't have them, eh... and so who is our partner?" Winston asked curiously, it didn't seem like a bad project to him, in fact, it seemed to be a new avenue for medicine.

"Her name is... Angela Zieler."

"Shut up" Eraser said as he entered the room, it wasn't long after that until everyone was in their seats paying attention to the teacher.

"Today we will see one of the basics of Heroes, it has been decided that for this class three teachers will be present, which will be All Might, myself and a special person, who for tension issues I won't say her name..." Eraser said as he looked at all his students without blinking.

"Professor! What are we going to do?" asked Sero as he raised his hand.

"Rescue" Eraser said simply as he looked at him with his ever tired eyes.

"That seems a bit difficult..." Kaminari muttered as he thought about how he should rescue the people....

"Don't lose heart man!" Karishima exclaimed as he punched Kaminari's arm with a smile on his face.

"Don't get ahead of yourselves, you can use your suits if you want but there are some suits that are not made for rescue, but it's your decision whether to use them or not" Eraser said as he pressed a button and from the wall the briefcases with the suits of the students appeared. "The training site is quite far away, plus we will be going by bus. That's all now get ready."

After that each person grabbed their own costume, except for Midoriya who had broken during the combat trials. Quickly Lena along with the other girls went to get dressed.

"So Lena, I didn't mention it before, but what did you mean by Secondary Quirk?" Toru suddenly asked Lena remembering what Lena had said before the battle test against Todoroki.

"It's a bit complicated to explain... but basically it's what its name suggests, a Secondary Quirk, for example, Kaminari, his Quirk consists of electricity that he can spread all over the place, but if you notice he himself never electrocutes himself, if he did he would possibly die. Well, the Secondary Quirk is a smaller Quirk related to the main function of your Quirk, normally people usually have one or two Secondary Quirks. Since you said that your Quirk makes you invisible but can manipulate light a little bit it is very likely that your Secondary Quirk has something to do with Light Manipulation, quite possibly on a small scale, but if you train it you could improve with your light control, and that just controlling light is already a very powerful power" Explained Lena while putting on her aviation jacket, Toru along with the other chichas were paying attention to this new information.

"I see... why have I never heard of that before?" `Uraraka asked as she looked at Lena in surprise.

"Possibly because it's a more or less recent concept, it shouldn't be more than 15 years old from its discovery, besides the only people who know about this topic are people very connected to the scientific community or rich people" `Lena answered while shrugging her shoulders and checking that her Slipstream was well adjusted, for some reason Lena had a bad feeling since yesterday....

"..." Momo just looked silently at Lena wondering how she knew that. Momo was very much into the scientific community, after all, her Quirk needs information and knowledge to function so naturally she knew about Secondary Quirks, unfortunately she didn't have a Secondary Quirk to take advantage of....

"So, if you don't mind telling us Lena...what is your Secondary Quirk....rather what is your Quirk, I know you can move super fast because of the wake you leave, but I don't think your Quirk is just super speed" Uraraka asked with her head bowed.

"I...well..." Lena said half-heartedly but couldn't get the words out of her mouth, the chichas realized she felt uncomfortable telling them what exactly her Quirk was, so they stopped asking and told her she didn't have to tell them, to which Lena was grateful.

After that informative exchange, the girls headed for the bus. Momo gave the order for them to get on in pairs and sit where they felt best, after a few minutes everyone was sitting quietly on the bus, once Eraser confirmed that everyone was ready he gave the order to the robot driver to head to USJ.

Remembering the talk they had not long ago with Lena, Tsu turned her head to Midoriya with a question that had been on her mind for a long time.

"Midoriya, I have a question that keeps running through my mind" Tsu asked staring at Midoriya.

"AH?! Oh, hi Asui!" The most nervous boy in the class looked at Tsu with wide eyes in surprise, at least he could talk without burning his brain....

"Call me Tsu, and I think your Quirk looks like All Might's" Tsu said with the same poker face staring at Midoriya.

"Ah?! N-No! I-I mean! Are you sure about that?!" Exclaimed the always nervous Midoriya, it looked like they just revealed their biggest secret to the world.....

"Ah wait! But All Might never gets hurt!" Karishima said refuting Tsu's theory.

"Y-yeah... hehe." Midoriya laughed nervously as he looked down at his legs trying to ignore the conversation.

"But Karishima remembers that Midoriya can't control his Quirk, or so he says..." Lena said as she leaned back in her seat lazily, she was sitting next to Kyoka who was listening to music giving a quick glance at the music she was listening to was... Loop Spina by Inabakumori, curious.

"!!!" That put Midoriya on guard again.

"That's true" Karishima nodded in confirmation to Lena's answer.

After a few conversations and a burst of anger from Bakugo, they finally arrived at a place that looked as big as a soccer stadium, no, rather, many bigger than a soccer stadium maybe at least 30 of them. Entering the place they could see several different areas, mountains, burning building, a large lake, a large cave, among many others.

Waiting for them was the special guest, who was nothing more and nothing less than....

Thirteen! The Space Hero!

"Welcome aspiring Heroes to USJ! Or better called Ultimate Space of Jams" Thirteen said in a friendly and kind manner, earning a few smiles from the people in the class.

IT REALLY IS USJ!.. Thought the whole class excitedly, this would be a really good workout!

"As you know we are going to do a rescue training, you only need to know one...or two...or three...or four things" Said Thirteen increasing the number of things you should know for this training making some students smile uncomfortably.

"Hey Thirteen...where's All Might?" asked Eraser looking around as Thirteen approached.

"Apparently he ran out of time" Thirteen said and held up three fingers to Eraser, the latter just sighed in annoyance.

The students were chatting amongst themselves excited to meet another professional hero, so they didn't notice this exchange, except for three students, Todoroki Shoto, Midoriya Izuku and Oxton Lena, but even though they heard what the teachers were talking about they didn't pay too much attention to it.

After that followed a talk about the responsibilities of heroes and the Quirk's care when rescuing someone. Lena simply tuned out the chatter in her brain as she tried to sleep with her eyes open.

Ugh... it's obvious that the Quirk are dangerous and capable of killing people easily, it's just common sense... why are they so shocked?... Lena thought with annoyance and boredom, so she decided to take a better look at the rescue test scenarios.

Suddenly in the middle of the USj a small dark purple smoke appeared out of nowhere, Lena was about to say something, when suddenly the portal expanded and from it started to appear many people who didn't look with the best intentions....

"EVERYBODY DO NOT MOVE! THIRTEEN CARRY THE CHILDREN!" shouted Eraser as he put on his glasses, apparently he had also noticed the portal. The funny thing was that his aura went from relaxed and lazy, to serious and deadly in less than a second.

"Those... are those the entertainment staff?" Karishima asked as he looked towards the people at the portal. Lena also hoped that they were school staff....

"NO! THOSE ARE REAL VILLAINS!" shouted Eraser, that warning alone made much of the class cringe in fear.

This is when Lena's bad feeling began to expand....

She unconsciously touched the Slipstream again....

This will not end well...
