Despite declining her offer, Mei noticed the absence of any negative emotion from her sister's tone; it seemed Asteria had forgiven her, or at least set aside her displeasure towards Mei's previous actions.

Apart from appearing timid and meek, Mei wanted to limit her words for now. Why though? Well, it was a habit of Mei's; she just believed that less talking just made situations less complicated.

Continuously taking mouthfuls of lizard meat, some obviously being pocketed within her cheeks, Mei simply smiled, mumbled, and noded in response to Asteria's plans.

"Decisive, flexible, and pragmatic. Definitely traits of a leader." Mei unconsciously chuckled at her thoughts while she enjoyed her dinner. However, it was still too early though for whatever it was Mei was planning.

Slowly turning to their Mother, making sure not to startle her in any way, Mei tried to get her attention and relay her sister's plans of returning back home. With her nose, she pointed at the bodies of the dead lizards then gestured to pick them up with their mouths before swinging her head towards the direction of the underground nest they had came from. All the while, Mei simultaneously snuck in instructions in between her actions to somehow aid her in explaining.

"WE. GET. LIZARDS?" and "THEN. WE GO BACK HOME?" were the phrases Mei continued to repeat. Hopefully, her efforts wouldn't be wasted. Normally, she wouldn't bother but after receiving the system messages, she wondered if other creatures, specifically those were native from this world, could also gain skills like them. If so, their mother being able to learn their language might have been possible.

I, the Demon King, Will Summon My Own Damned Heroes!

Xiao Mei

It was difficult for Mei to determine on who was more formidable between the mother lizard they had previously faced and the pair that who were on the receiving end of their fangs and claws. One thing she was certain of though, was the efficiency of hunting as a group. If made to tackle the same situations on her own, Mei wouldn't have been as violent and reckless; that just would've gotten her killed. What they had right now wasn't a simple group of random creatures. As cliché as it might've sound, they were a family. Mei could've done without such a dynamic, but the innate familial instincts of protectiveness and lingering compassion for each other had been working to her advantage so far. Coupled with the natural speed and agility of the dire rat, the pseudo synchronicity they displayed during their attacks also impressed Mei. For the time being, she knew that sticking together was the best option presented to her.

---

After her encounter with the wisp and fanged lizards, Mei couldn't help feel her hunger creeping out once again. It could have been something usual for their kind or was just due to Mei overexerting herself. Either way, she decided to address her body's needs and helped herself to the bountiful meal that was in front of her. What she would've thought of as disgusting and savage, was actually calming and nostalgic. The fresh, bloodsoaked reptilian meat was iron-like in taste, but it reminded Mei of zhū zá tāng; a warm, spicy blood and organ soup that she frequently had as a child. While living on the streets of Chaozhou, it was the cheapest and heartiest meal she could afford, but eventually grew to love.

As Mei was enjoying her meal, from out of nowhere and without warning, an abrupt...update had appeared? Or was it more accurate to call it a notification? Regardless, it had caught her off guard, but her surprise most likely went unnoticed. Mei briefly choked on the lizard meat, but it was probably just seen as her eating too hurriedly.

The terms presented to her, such as leveling up and skill points, undeniably piqued Mei's interest. It was as if they were in a game? If this was true, it wasn't apparent given the way she's been reacting to the world around her; it did not feel artificial in anyway, but that was probably what characters in games felt as well. Trying to figure everything out with what little information was available, was a futile attempt and Mei was well aware of this. At least it was a problem she didn't need to focus on for now. Learning how to go about this supposed pre-existing system was something she had to go about gradually. If she didn't take it in as bits and pieces, the chances of her just being overwhelmed was high.

"Five points to spend, huh?" Mei pondered while she resumed her meal, pretending as if nothing had happened aside from her swallowing mishap.

"Beast Sense and Deception." Mei found these words so familiar, as if she had heard them not long ago. Memories of just before her rebirth came flooding back, catching her by surprise yet again. And like before, causing her to choke on her meal. Honestly, she was starting to feel embarrassed. As she cleared her throat though, Mei continued to review the information she had just received. She was, most of the time, logical and practical. However, when games were involved, Mei had the habit of taking risks. She was what most would call, a gambler.

With that train of thought, she knew where she'd invest her skill points. Everything into Deception. Mei found no reason not to do so; that was her bread and butter. Lying, confusing, misleading, to misinform, and the like were second nature for her.

---

At some point, Mei came to the realization that if she was going through this sort of experience, it was fair to assume that Asteria was as well. They faced the same challenges and have been with each other for what seemed to be the whole day. With Mei's curiosity overtaking her, she had to find a way to observe her sister without being to obvious. Grabbing the lifeless lizard by the mouth, Mei proceeded to drag it towards Asteria. What she planned to look like a peace offering with some compassion thrown in, was actually Mei just trying to be sly.

“What did you think you were doing?”

Although discrete, Mei could note th subtle frustration in her sibling's tone. She couldn't blame her though; Asteria's response was appropriate for the situation, but unless she insisted, Mei felt no need to explain her actions in detail.

"I-I d-d-dont know; it st-started to at-t-tack, so I p-p-panaicked." She whimpered in response as she stared at the cavern floor, trying to avoid eye contact.

Her sibling took several deep breaths to calm herself down, but still spoke with a bit of annoyance in her voice. “Whatever. It’s done now. This just cost us two or three potential allies though,”.

Mei was impressed at the level-headedness Asteria displayed; it only added to the reasons on why it was worth staying close to her and their mother.

While Mei was lost in thought, Asteria had suddenly brushed against her, as if comforting or reassuring her. Lowering her head even further, trying to hide her brief surprise, Mei whispered in a mumbling manner "I-I'm s-sorry". Fortunately, her sibling was a compassionate one. Whether this was genuine or instinctual, Mei couldn't say for sure; even with her history of violence, the ferocity she had shown throughout the day was a bit excessive even for her. Nevertheless, Mei still believed that the kindhearted were always the ones who were easier to deceive.

“I don’t know about you, but I want to track Edward down and see if at least some of this mess can be fixed.”

If Mei could've shown her displeasure with a deep and breathy sigh, she would. Unfortunately, she had an image she needed to maintain.

---

A well timed coincidence or just fate toying with them, Mei couldn't deny how volatile the environment in the cave was.

Wasting little to no time, their mother had pounced, leading the offense and displaying an ample amount of speed and agility as she skillfully weaved through the venomous volley of shots. Making use of her relatively smaller size, Mei ducked and log rolled to the side, doing her best to avoid the incoming attack as well. Seeing how immediate the actions of her fellow rats were, Mei immediately followed up and jumped into the fray, mimicking the movements of her sister. At least she tried to. Mei had noticed for a while now the difference in speed between the three of them. Their mother being faster was easily believable, but for Asteria, who was part of the same litter as her, was something Mei couldn't just accept. She assumed that their first few days of life were generally similar, so why was there a gap? Was she not pushing herself enough? Well, Mei didn't know for sure, but it was a good time to find out. She needed to utilize and get to know the capabilities of her body sooner rather than later.

Exerting as much effort as she could, instead of trailing from behind, Mei veered towards the opposite direction. With both Asteria and Mother up front, Mei hoped that their initial attacks would serve as a distraction while she'd sneak in. As soon as she got close, Mei planned to lunge forward as fast as she could with, aiming towards the trunk of either lizard with arms extended and claws bared.

Despite the lack of coordination, hopefully their makeshift three-pronged approach would create enough confusion for a decicieve blow to land.

"So they do bleed." Mei thought to herself while scurrying backwards, conveying a look of what she thought was surprise with some worriedness mixed in. "What did I just do?" was the impression she was going for. It were times like this that Mei could fully appreciate her talents in lying and deception.

As blood continued to trickle down the sides of her mouth, Mei swallowed the spongy flesh she had torn off from Lorek, and prepared herself for another attack. Her mother was not a problem, but it was going to be difficult to explain to her sister why she attacked a second time. It was Mei's habit to be meticulous with these sort of things; leaving behind loose ends never did her any good. Well, that was something Mei had to deal with later. Or so she thought.

"Talk about lucky." Mei resisted the urge to let out a smirk as she saw the incoming bombardment from two lizards from afar. As much as she wanted to finish the wisp of herself, Mei couldn't risk getting hit by one of those ozzing globs. She saw what it did to their mother and had no plans of going through what she did.

While hurriedly running towards her fellow rats, Mei realized that given the features of a rat, portraying certain emotions with facial expressions could only go so far. She had to improve if she wanted to convince them. As she drew closer, Mei rushed in even faster, immediately burying herself in between her mother and Asteria. She made her body shiver as best as she could while increasing her rate of breathing, making each breath rapid and shallow.

Turning her head and briefly rubbing it against both rats, Mei gestured that she wanted to get away. Mei didn't know how she was going to deal with the other wisp. It remained motionless and non-aggressive despite what she had done to another wisp; Mei had no basis for attacking it, and honestly, the wisp posed no threat to them. It was best she just leaved it alone. Whether it would do the same or follow them, it didn't matter to Mei.

She was satisfied with everything she had learned and accomplished so far; she was fine with calling it a day.

Given how their mother had responded, it seemed Dire Rats might not have the capabilities of speech. However, given how she just accepted this allowed Mei to conclude that other creatures were probably able to do so. The Fanged Lizard they had encountered earlier failed to utter a single coherent word as well; so that made two species for now. These held no real value, but it was just a habit of Mei to take note of such things.

Her efforts to appear fidgety and distressed may have not been as fruitful as she would have wanted. She garnered no real reaction from the creatures around her, and it had seemed that Mother was gesturing that it was time to call it a day. It was amazing that Mei found it incredibly simple to understand their mother's intentions; it probably was some sort of pack-like link. As much as Mei wanted to stretch out the day a bit further, she didn't want to force the idea too much. Fortunately, as Mei was about to head towards their matriarch, the wisp that introduced itself as Lorek had rushed between their group and turned to the shining blue crystals close to them. This was an interesting opportunity that Mei could make use of.

Worry and surprise were the emotions Mei was trying to convey as she gasped at Lorek who's attention seemed to have been preoccupied by something else. It was strange that he decided to take his attention away from the four dire rats that were simply standing around him. Was he too trusting or just careless? Not wasting any time lingering on such thoughts, Mei's gaze inconspicuously strayed towards where the wisp was staring at, hoping to catch whatever it was he was staring at within her periphery. Mei caught a glimpse of a scurrying creature; from its shape, it was most likely a lizard. Mei wasn't sure what Lorek was trying to do, but given the amount of focus he was directing towards it, it was obvious that the wisp was up to something.

In her previous life, Mei was familiar with such a vibe; although faint, it was similar to what most would call killing intent, or at least intent to harm. This was the perfect chance for Mei to strike, but she was well aware that she still had to remain cautious. The other wisp that had introduced itself as Danny, appeared to have been focused on something else as well.

Trying to exacerbate the facade she was trying keep up, Mei got on all fours and started to feign rapid breathing and jitteriness, as if she was ready to flee. Unfortunately for Lorek, this wasn't the case; Mei was preparing to strike. To be more specific, lunge at the wisp. He had positioned himself in between them, in a spot more accessible to Mei. He had approached the crystals and in doing so, lowered himself to the ground and gave Mei an idea on how fast he capable of moving. He was focused on the lizard running away from them; it was fair to assume that he was preparing for an attack. And lastly, the other wisp was unlikely to come Lorek's aid; he was hiding in the small wall crevice for a reason. The moment Lorek was about to let loose an attack, Mei was prepared to immediately capitalize on that moment and rush towards the wisp, with her fangs and claws ready for some evisceration. To deceive them and hide her intentions, all she needed was one massive "Stttooopppppp!" while she'd leap in.

If things went well, Mei would find out what it felt like to sink her teeth into something that looked so magical.
Mei was prepared for any of the consequences that would follow. If her actions would be questioned, she was ready to lie and just say that she had panicked and was worried that the wisp was about to attack them. If Lorek had allies close by ready to lend him a helping hand, Mei was banking on Mother and her capabilities. Either way, things were surely going to get interesting.

Seated a few inches in front of their mother, Mei quietly listened. The situation she found herself in was an interesting one. Among the six creatures that were present, including herself, four had revealed their ties to Earth.

"So I was the only one then." Mei thought to herself. It was a conclusion merely based on an assumption, but given their current circumstances, Mei believed that they all came from the same world.

Honestly though, aside from knowing that they were previously human, was there any other merit in knowing which world they came from? Probably none, but at least this gave Mei a clue on the possible social norms they possessed.

As their conversation shifted from introductions to casual speech, Mei noticed how articulate they all were. She had initially planned to maintain the facade of a lowly Dire Rat and to remain inconspicuous, but doing so might prove to be disadvantageous given the revelations she had just heard. Aside from her wits, at her current state, Mei had little to offer their group. She wasn't as large or fast as Mother or her siblings, nor did she possess magical capabilities like the Wisps. All Mei had was her wits, but in actuality, it was all she needed for the time being.

"Edward and Asteria, huh?" Being observant and meticulous was essential in Mei previous life and she knew that this time around, she'd still make use of these skills. She was good with faces and names, and although she personally cared little about these, it was helpful that she had something to call her siblings instead of thinking of them as just other Dire Rats.

"Lorek." Mei took a mental note; now all that was left was the name of the other wisp. She had no plans on asking though; she didn't want to come off as too curious or prying.

Initially, with Mother on their side, Mei wanted to test the waters and let out some of her pent up aggression on the floating orbs of light that had appeared before them, but with how calm everything has turned out, some hostility might end up being counter productive. For now, Mei just had to listen and take in as much information as she could. The violence could wait for now.

From what she knew so far, unless proven otherwise, only Mother was a true creature of this world. It was understandable that she remained silent. Mei on the other hand didn't have that luxury; being to quiet might make her seem suspicious. Slowly creeping forward, it was her turn to make herself known. Squeaks and teeth chattering shifted the throat clearing before it turned into coherent words.

"A-a-a-i'm Tan Mei." She tried her best to stutter and feign nervousness as she spoke in a faint whisper-like voice. It was unlikely that non-chinese would be familiar with Mei's reputation, but there was nothing wrong with being cautious.

"B-b-but you can ca-call me M-m-mei". She shuffled her hands while staring on the ground, only taking occasional glimpses at the others around her.

"I wa-was a nu-nurse back at Ch-china." It wasn't a complete lie though. There was point in time where Mei was forced to pretend to be one for what seemed to be over half a year. If she recalled correctly, it involved stealing files on certain patients at a local hospital in Guangzhou.

_Name

Hiwofuku Akane

_Age

Fourteen

_Origin

Shimanto, Kōchi Prefecture, Japan

_{Physical Description}

Height-wise, Akane is probably considered average for girls her age, standing at around 5 feet and 3 inches. Weighing 128 pounds, she's more lean than just thin. As her father, she possesses two inch-long horns located on her forehead, crimson red eyes, and pointed ears. Akane's upper canines are more prominent while her nails are a bit longer and sharper than usual; she finds it a point to keep them filed with the edges dulled. Her skin has a pinkish hue and appears perpetually flushed.

Akane sports a bob out of practicality as she dislikes it when her hair gets in her way; when more dynamic activities are involved, she tries to keep her hair tied in a ponytail. With her eyes in a partial droop along her typical flat expression that sometimes borders disinterest, Akane's general demeanor is casual and laid-back. This is also made evident by her choice in clothes that are loose and comfortable but most likely questionable fashion-wise.

_{Characterization}

Stoic
Straightforward
Logical
Practical
Reserved
Determined
Unapproachable

_{Personal History}

Akane's parents were Hiwofuku Naomasa and Kokoro Harumi, the co-owners and executive chefs of Koge, a well-known restaurant in Roppongi that specializes in both teppanyaki and sushi. Their claim to fame was the dining experience that they provided; their skilled use of their quirks and the synergy between the two, along with their bright and welcoming personalities, were the reasons behind their extraordinary level of showmanship and extravagant performances in food preparation.

With her quirk turning out as it did, Akane was meant to join them and eventually carry on the legacy that they had established. Unfortunately, being overexposed to such an environment had been counter productive to their wishes. At the young age of nine, it was apparent that Akane grew jaded of the culinary world; whenever topics related to it were brought up, the boredom and disinterest in her eyes were hard to miss. As much as Akane's parents wanted to address this, they were too preoccupied with work. Although she didn't take this against them as they were simply doing what they loved, Akane couldn't help but feel envious. She wanted something to be passionate about, but sadly she had nothing.

Given what we know now, the reason behind Akane's application to Ishin Academy was still unclear. Several years back, while being driven home from school, the vehicle Akane was in - along with others beside them, were caught in an accident caused by a rampaging criminal. She couldn't recall all the details as it all happened so fast, but she remembered finding herself hanging upside down with only the straps around her waist and across her chest keeping her from falling. She was lightheaded and a bit dizzy as blood was trickling down from her face. Turning her head towards the window, Akane had a good view of the individual responsible for the situation she was in. Still flailing it's arms and screaming at the top of its lungs as it was being suppressed by several heroes. Instead of feeling awestruck or something of the like for what she was witnessing, Akane couldn't help but focus on her disdain and anger for the criminal. However, before the hate she was experiencing became deep seeded, it was immediately plucked out by feelings of respect and admiration. But for who exactly? Well, as the fight had continued to go on, a few more heroes had appeared and turned to the civilians. The concern that was directed towards her felt genuine; the outreached hand extended to her made her feel safe. As Akane's consciousness gradually faded, she smiled. Finally, she knew what type of person she had wanted to become.

_{Character Development & Conceptualization}

Currently, Akane is determined and believes that she has the right understanding of what heroism is about, but unknowingly lacks a holistic grasp on it. I wanted her to start of as the type of character who abides to and enforces the "rules", or at least she'll attempt to. Her struggles at the start would be communication-related and on how she presents herself, given her somewhat tactless manner of speaking and general vibe. Although willing to collaborate with others, she isn't the type to blindly follow instructions. If need be, she would challenge ideas conflicting with her own. I wanted a character who was loose and laid-back in demeanor but stiff and strict in belief. I hope that Akane would learn from others more and be open-minded in what her idea of being a hero is all about.

Quirk-wise, I took inspiration from Izuku Midoroya's parents. I always appreciated their quirks and had ideas on how a combination of the two would turn out. Akane's quirk is more of control-based and paced, instead of heavy in power like Endeavor's or Todoroki's. Eventually, working on strengthening the destructiveness of her quirk would be nice, but that would be for sometime down the road. For now, fine tuning and control is how Akane approaches her ability and what she probably needs to learn first would be how to use her flames in a practical and versatile way.

_{Quirk Type}

_{Quirk Description}

Akane's quirk, Spitfire, is a combination of her parents' that grants her the ability to generate flames from within her and release it from her mouth in the form of streams, spheres, or cones. She can further manipulate the flames she produces using hand or arm gestures to guide its trajectory, concentration, or to simply extinguish it. Drawbacks to Akane's quirk would include it's dependence on her respiratory function, namely her breath control, diaphragmatic strength, and respiratory capacities. When physical fatigued and out of breath, her quirk is unable to efficiently function. Given the nature of her quirk, not only does Akane possess an inherent resistance to heat, her core body temperature is also greatly above average. This gives her skin a flushed appearance and makes it warm to touch.

_{Other Talents & Attributes}

• Akane has caused her fair share of burns over the years, but it did not take long before she learned on how to address these types of injuries. What was once an obligation turned into a general interest as she continued her training on the practice of providing first aid.
• Despite her fondness of sweets, Akane is physically fit as she regularly exercises daily. She usually focuses on calisthenics and aerobic exercises. During middle school, Akane was a member of both the track & field, and swimming team.

Xiao Mei

Overcoming the feral trance she head previously succumbed to, Mei found herself flooded by feelings of relief and disbelief as she stared at the lifeless fanged lizard corpse. She was surprised that despite her recklessness, not only did she remain unscathed, but victorious as well. Mei was well aware that she was only as successful as she was because of both her mother and sister. Indeed, there was power in numbers. Given her current condition, it was the best choice for Mei follow. Without them, she probably would have been feasted on by some other creature by now.

Before partaking of the meal her body had been longing for, Mei turned towards her mother and slowly approached her. Mei was uncertain of how she was doing; if her death was inevitable, Mei was more than prepared to hasten it as an act of kindness. It was the least she could do given how her mother had raised and protected her during her first few days of life. Fortunately, this wasn't the case. Although deep, her breathing was stable. Aside from a few twitching muscles, her body has calmed down. In her attempt to comfort her, Mei softly brushed her face against her mother.

As Mei's sister had taken her place catering to their mother's needs, she took the opportunity to finally satiate her hunger. In front of her a nest of leathery lizard eggs were ripe for the picking, but although profusely salivating, Mei couldn't find it in her to just dive in and eat. However, it wasn't because of her conscious telling her otherwise or any overwhelming feelings of guilt. It was because of the mother lizard that was lying just beside the best of eggs; it was bothering her. Although becoming paler by the second, Mei approached the reptile from behind and attacked the helpless body, gnashing her teeth around its neck, worsening the wound her sister had given it. It may have cruel and disrespectful in a way, but if the opportunity presented itself, Mei didn't want to take any chances. It was always in her nature to do so.

Covered in blood, she helped herself to a lizard egg, quickly guzzling down the contents before proceeding to another. As much as she enjoyed the milk from her mother, the hearty and savory flavor that came from the eggs was exactlty what her body was looking for. Later on, Mei's attention was redirected towards her sister. She wasnt sure, but in between the squeaks and the chatters, Mei could've sworn she had heard an actual human voice. Whether or not it was her mind playing tricks on her, the message her sister wanted to convey had come through. With a nod and a few squeaks of her own, she agreed to her sister's plan. Mei wanted to remain as inconspicuous as possible for now; the last thing she needed was for her kin to think of her as some sort of outsider or anomaly.

Mei stood beside her sister and gestured with her head that she was ready to continue to explore the cave.
