Chapter: 10

David Shield led the group into his personal office, a space filled with blueprints, prototype schematics, and various high-tech gadgets. A large window overlooked the ocean surrounding I-Island, casting a warm glow over the room.

All Might sat down with a nostalgic smile. "It's been too long, my friend."

David nodded, glancing at Melissa and Midoriya. "Indeed it has. But before we catch up, Melissa, why don't you take young Midoriya on a tour of the facility? I'm sure he'd love to see some of our more exciting projects."

Melissa perked up. "Oh! That's a great idea! I can show him the testing lab and the expo prototypes!"

Midoriya's eyes sparkled. "I'd love that!"

Ben remained silent, his gaze shifting between David and All Might. He had a feeling this conversation was going to be more serious than simple reminiscing.

Melissa grabbed Midoriya's hand enthusiastically. "Come on! There's so much to see!"

As they left, Ben followed a few steps behind, but he knew he'd return soon.

Melissa guided Midoriya through the bustling research halls until they stepped outside into the expo area. The vibrant cityscape of I-Island stretched before them, filled with exhibits, training arenas, and state-of-the-art support gear.

As they made their way to a nearby café, three familiar voices called out.

"Midoriya?"

Midoriya turned in surprise to see Uraraka, Jiro, and Yaoyorozu sitting at a table by the window.

"Uraraka! Jiro! Yaoyorozu! What are you all doing here?"

Uraraka grinned. "We got invited to I-Expo! I can't believe you're here too!"

Melissa smiled. "You must be Midoriya's classmates! Welcome to I-Island!"

Yaoyorozu stepped forward with admiration. "Melissa Shield? Your work in support technology is incredible! It's an honor to meet you."

Jiro gave a small nod. "Yeah, I've read about some of your inventions. Pretty impressive."

Midoriya smiled warmly. "Ahaha, well, Melissa is a genius when it comes to support items."

Before they could continue, their waiter arrived. To their surprise, it was Kaminari wearing a server's apron and standing next to him was Mineta, holding a notepad with a bored expression.

"hey guys!" Kaminari grinned. "Didn't expect to see you here!"

Mineta sighed. "You want menus or what?"

Melissa confused. "Umm are these two also your classmates?"

"Yeah we work here!" Kaminari said smiling,

"And during our break time we get to explore the expo!!" Mineta said enthusiastically, 

As They were chatting came running a blue hair person that is so stiff you'd think he has a stick up his ass.

"KAMINARI! MINETA! You were assigned to this duty, and yet you are SLACKING!"

Iida marched toward them, his arms rigid as he scolded the two. "You must uphold your responsibilities with diligence and pride!"

Kaminari sighed. "Dude, we're literally serving coffee."

Iida adjusted his glasses. "Exactly! And one must serve coffee with the utmost professionalism!"

The group burst into laughter as the café turned into a chaotic but lively reunion.
