Meanwhile back in Japan, Takeshi was on his way to an internship with a less than pleased Bakugou. Takeshi was playing with his necklace as he read a book on taking care of katanas and other Japanese blades. Bakugou scoffed and looked out the window pouting. Takeshi glanced up at Bakugou briefly before returning to his book.

"I'll give you a warning Bakugou Katsuki when Tsuna returns do not in any way try to attack him," Takeshi said absently as he turned the page of his book.

"What did you say!?" Bakugou growled turning to face Takeshi glaring with all his might. Takeshi continued reading calmly.

"All I said was don't try to attack Tsuna," Takeshi repeated as the driver announced that they were almost to their destination. Bakugou went to stand but thought better of it and huffed looking back out the window. 

After a lot of silence, they finally arrived at the agency where Best Jeanist was waiting for them. The two changed into their 'costumes' before they met with the blond-haired pro hero. Takeshi glanced at the sidekicks around the room who were eyeing his sword he had draped over his shoulder. Bakugou stood next to him, head somewhat lowered looking straight ahead at the pro standing with his back to them. Takeshi acted like his usual self as he judged the pro in front of him.

"To be honest there's only one of you I actually do like. Bakugou you chose this agency because of my standing as the #4 hero. As for you Yamamoto, I'm not sure why you chose to come here. Either way, both of you have flaws I intend to fix."  Best Jeanist said, turning around to face them before pausing momentarily at the sight of the sword Takeshi was carrying. Takeshi smiles unthreateningly choosing to take a more laid back posture. 

"I didn't come here to get a lecture from you," Bakugou growled taking a step forward only to have his wrists and knees wrapped in string. Takeshi raised an eyebrow intrigued by the quirk as well as how useful it could be in any situation. Takeshi narrowed his eyes and ducked before jumping back landing on his feet a little ways from the pro.

"Oh? You have quite the reflexes if you were able to dodge my strings." Best Jeanist mused.

Takeshi laughed smiling. "I'm not as fast as one of my friends."

"Then I have one question for you, Yamamoto, before we continue on with Bakugou," Best Jeanist said eyeing the black haired rain guardian. "Why do you have a sword, seeing as you didn't use one during the sports festival."

"During the sports festival, I didn't feel comfortable with using a sword along with my quirk as I would otherwise," Takeshi replied.

"How come?" a sidekick asked.

"I didn't want to hurt anyone there even though it put me at a rather big disadvantage," Takeshi replied. Best Jeanist studied Takeshi trying to determine the full potential of the 'young' teen in front of him. The pro was having a hard time even judging Takeshi's current full strength. 

"A sword is meant to hurt someone is it not?" Best Jeanist asked eyeing the teen.

"It can be if the user so desires. Though my father taught me that the user of the sword determines what the sword is used for." Takeshi replied unwavering in his long figured out resolve. Bakugou had stayed silent listening to Takeshi's words which weren't that of a 14-year-old, they were of someone much older than that. Best Jeanist noticed the older way of talking but said nothing and moved on to continue to lecture Bakugou. The pro sat Bakugou down and for the moment combed down the explosive mess of hair Bakugou had. 

The three after awhile once Bakugou changed his costume and Takeshi left his sword in the agency, were walking around the city patrolling the area. Nothing really drastic happened since villains weren't dumb enough to do anything yet, the only thing the did happen were school girls recognizing Best Jeanist and fangirling over the pro hero. Takeshi gaged slightly since after his experiences with the fangirl population made him gag every time he saw one. Bakugou practically did the same thing until a group of elementary school boys started talking about the slug villain incident. Bakugou, of course, got angry and turned on the boys before Best Jeanist reprimanded him. Takeshi sweatdropped as Bakugou only made it worse causing the boys to cry. Takeshi walked over to the boys pushing Bakugou out of the way and kneeled down smiling.

"Don't mind him he's just being temperamental. As a hero, there will be some instances where they will be in a tough situations that will cause them to act with the situation rather than  against it to ensure the safety of civilians and the others working with them," Takeshi said as a small amount of his rain flames seeped into the boys claiming them down. The boys looked at Takeshi in awe before running off chattering excitedly. Bakugou, on the other hand, was shaking in rage small swirls of smoke coming from the palms of his hands.

"Well done handling the situation, Yamamoto. Bakugou you still have a long way to go," Best Jeanist said shaking his head both impressed and amused. Bakugou growled and looked away angrily pouting. From there the three went back to the agency for the day to let them both wind down. Takeshi was cleaning his sword when Bakugou stormed into the room he had been given to stay in.

"What is it Bakugou?" Takeshi questioned looking up from what he was doing. Bakugou shut the door behind him before glaring at Takeshi.

"You aren't 14, so how old are you bastard?" Bakugou growled. Takeshi looked at Bakugou amused and set aside his sword as the room glowed a light blue hue.

"If only you were trustworthy enough to keep a secret," Takeshi said standing up slowly walking over to Bakugou looking down at the shorter teen.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!" Bakugou growled glaring up at Takeshi. Takeshi smiled sharply before physically pushing Bakugou out of the room locking the door.
