You followed close behind Endeavor and the other three boys. Ever since accepting Todoroki’s invite to his father’s agency, you’ve been stuck with the group of heroes, which together caused quite the stir.

Endeavor suddenly spoke, interrupting the casual silence of the patrol.

Endeavor: "We're heading through the Central District. This is a hotspot for villain activity. I've gotten word that a group of villains are planning an attack. So, we're headed there to scope out the area and maybe do some good."

He put his hands behind his back.

Endeavor: “Stay on your guard.”

Shoto looked surprised at Luke's sudden outburst and disappearance. "Luke..." he muttered under his breath before turning his attention back to the situation at hand. The other three boys seemed confused as well, but they didn't question it further. Endeavor merely raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "Well then, let's move out." With that, the group continued patrolling through the streets of Central District.

Shoto nodded grimly before launching himself into the air using his ice side to propel forward quickly. He landed gracefully in front of the two villains and threw a quick punch with his burning hand, freezing them solid before they could react. "You're under arrest," he said coldly as he glared down at them.

Meanwhile, Endeavor and Bakugo had already sprinted towards Shoto's location while Midoriya sent out a wave of air pressure to push the villains away from their group.

"Shigiraki? Great," Endeavor muttered under his breath as he approached the frozen villains with Shoto and Bakugo. "I thought we'd handled that scum already." He turned to Midoriya. "Let's get them to the precinct. And be careful, Shigiraki is known for being slippery."

As Endeavor and his team moved the frozen villains, they noticed a strange glint coming from one of Shigiraki's hands.

Shoto growled angrily and threw another ice shard at Shigiraki's other hand, freezing it solid as well before he could use whatever he had hidden there. "That should stop you for a while," the half-cold hero muttered with satisfaction.

"Nice work," Endeavor commented. "Now let's get moving." He nodded to Midoriya and Bakugo, who quickly took hold of Shigiraki's frozen body as they began carrying him away from the scene.

"Yes, well..." Endeavor cleared his throat uncomfortably as he followed behind Midoriya and Bakugo. "We should focus on getting Shigiraki to the precinct. That's why we're here." He shot a sideways glance at Luke, not sure what to make of the other boy's sudden aggression.

"Luke!" Shoto snapped, his voice full of anger and surprise. "What was that for?" He turned to face the other boy, his expression a mix of confusion and hurt.

Bakugo glanced back and forth between Endeavor and Luke, but kept his mouth shut for now. Midoriya's eyes widened at the sudden violence but he remained silent as well.

"Look," Endeavor began, rubbing the side of his head where Luke had hit him, "

Shoto looked away uncomfortably, his cheeks flushing red as he tried to hide his anger. "That's not the point," he muttered under his breath. He turned back to Luke, still fuming but trying to keep his composure. "We should focus on getting Shigiraki in and dealing with him."

Meanwhile, Endeavor glared at Luke for a moment before finally speaking up. "I see you're feeling confident, Luke," he said through gritted teeth. "

"Luke," Shoto warned, his voice still shaking with anger. "You're not helping the situation." As they arrived at the precinct, they were met by several other heroes who helped restrain Shigiraki and take him inside for questioning. Endeavor gave Luke a hard stare as he tried to control his temper. "We'll talk about this later," he growled.

"Luke, that's enough," Shoto snapped, stepping between the two boys. "You don't know what happened in our family." He turned to Endevor, his voice still shaking with anger but also hurt. "He didn't deserve that."

Bakugo let out a low growl at Luke, clearly not pleased with his words either. Midoriya placed a hand on Shoto's shoulder, trying to calm him down while shooting Luke an exasperated look. "Let's just drop it for now,"

"Of course I didn't forget," Endeavor snapped back, his anger flaring up again. "But that doesn't give you the right to speak to me or Shoto like that." He turned away, trying to control his temper as he led the group deeper into the precinct. Bakugo shot a warning look at Luke before following him, still growling under his breath.

Shoto sighed heavily and rubbed his eyes with his thumb and index finger. "Let's just get this over with," he muttered to no one in particular.

"A fight?" Endeavor repeated with narrowed eyes as he turned back to face Luke. "You little brat, do you really think you can take me on? I've fought some of the strongest villains and heroes in existence, and I'm still standing." He paused for a moment before continuing more calmly. "But if that's what you truly want... fine. We'll have our battle. But not now, and not here. We'll settle this once and for all, at the next Pro Hero Festival."

"Hmph, you think you can just push me into something like that?" Endeavor growled in response to Luke's remark before turning back around and continuing deeper into the precinct with the others. "Shoto, you're with me," he said over his shoulder as they entered an interrogation room where Shigiraki was already being questioned by other heroes. Once they were all inside, Endeavor closed the door behind them and turned back to Luke once more.

"Tomorrow it is then, brat.

"Fair enough," Shoto muttered as he glanced over at his father and then back at Luke before taking a deep breath. "Just remember what you said." He turned to face the others in the room, trying to focus on something else besides the impending fight with Luke.

As the interrogation progressed, Endeavor sat stoically across from Shigiraki, his expression unreadable. He waited patiently while the other heroes grilled the villain, occasionally interjecting with a question of his own. Despite his outward calmness, he couldn't help but feel uneasy about Luke's challenge and the fight that was to come tomorrow at the Pro Hero Festival.

Shoto remained silent throughout most of the interrogation, only speaking up when asked a direct question by one of the other heroes.

As the sun rose higher into the sky, the Pro Hero Festival began to come alive with activity. Vendors set up booths selling merchandise and food, music played over loudspeakers, and crowds of people gathered from all across Japan to witness the event. In the center of it all was a massive arena where the main attraction would take place - the showdown between Endeavor and Luke for the title of number 1 hero.

While waiting for his own match with the newcomer hero Midnight, Bakugo paces around impatiently and snarls at anyone who dares to get too close. He can't help but feel a mixture of anger, frustration, and anticipation building up inside him as he thinks about finally getting to face off against Luke in their long-awaited showdown.

Todoroki is already in the middle of his match against another hero, using his fire side for the first time since he confessed to Midoriya about his feelings.
